Dimensional Apartment Manager

The magic has arrived!

His body was hit, and he flew out, leaving two chances to resist.

"Two more... um——————————!!?!?"

Something rushed into the battlefield, and the black figure swung its fist. The magic barrier around Ainz shone, and then shattered. A terrifying impact like an explosion sent him flying in response.

boom!boom!It hit the wall, and before the force ended, Ainz smashed the thick rock wall together with the barrier, and flew into the outer space.

"I kept you waiting, Mr. Skeleton."

With less than half of the clothes left on his upper body, the boy with wounds all over his body took a look at Kazuma, and then jumped out.

"I'll come back to you later."

"..."

Under that kind of terrifying attack, he didn't quit the game, and Kazuma thought it was because of the system delay.

Continuous heavy blows sounded outside, and Kazuma chose to run in the opposite direction.

Boom!Something exploded again!Feeling someone falling on top of his head, Kazuma lowered his body in order not to be involved, looking for another way out.

What to do next?The skeleton chasing him was chased by the undefeated Izayoi, and Kazuma, who was liberated, began to think about a way out.

So far, there are still many people I haven't contacted. As long as you show that you are strong, there is a possibility of forming an alliance.

"Anyway, Akua lied to me like this before."

Originally, Kazuma thought that the Goddess, who looked divine, was super powerful, but in the end... she was a waste material and an idiot.

Thinking of Kazuma here, he made a decision. All in all, he wanted to find an ally.

Of course, there are no two 'monsters' on top of the ally candidates.

Chapter 24 Commentators on the sidelines

The battle inside the arena was in full swing, and the audience outside the arena naturally joined the army of comments.

After eating, the TV was tuned to a special broadcast channel, and Yoshino stared at the processed screen, which showed a lot of content.

Just like the data in the game, you can see each participant's physical condition, heart rate, hunger, kill achievements, etc., and there is the latest ranking on the far right.

"How about des? Has there been a winner des?"

Because Jiuye had told them to live as usual before leaving, Izuna, who had gone to take a bath just now, came out and immediately asked Yoshino for the latest situation.

"Not yet... It's been about an hour, right? But there is still no winner, but Mr. Jiuye's approval rating has increased a lot."

"Of course, des. When I went to take a shower just now, Jiuye had already driven the other party to a corner, des."

"However, even if we were driven to a dead end, we still haven't defeated the opponent. That superpower has already escaped."

Yoshino's answer made Izuna wag her tail, and she ran to the sofa with her undried hair.

"Please dry your hair first..."

"It's okay Des, Mr. Jiu Ye said, girls are made of water Des!"

"I don't think he said anything like that..."

Yoshino had no choice but to get off the sofa. On the way to the hair dryer in the bathroom, she did not forget to listen to the commentary from the TV.

"Yoshino-chan! Mr. Hisaba is going to get a point soon!!"

"That's great, ah! Don't shake your hair on the sofa."

Yoshino seems to understand the hard work of Jiu Ye...

She picked up the hair dryer and returned to the living room. The TV screen was cut into many parts, and only occasionally would a close-up of the contestants be shown. No one was special.

However, since four contestants have been excluded so far, and there are several contestants forming a team, the screen has been cut into four parts, and there are two parts with fighting scenes.

Yoshino, who started blowing hair with Izuna, was very serious, while Izuna in front of him pointed at the screen.

"Now the person with the highest support rate has become 'Ainz' Des. I think that if you want to win in this game, you can't get Des alone."

"Mr. Ainz... When he came to joke around earlier, he brought some special products."

"That's right Des! It's the maid in the cemetery who made the snacks Des."

"Yes, yes..."

Since the provenance is really disturbing, Yoshino has not tasted it yet, but he thinks that Ainz should be a good person.

"Izuna-chan, do you think Kuha will win?"

"No, because Jiuye always thinks too much when he plays games! After I played games with Blank, I realized that the important thing is not how to win, but to let the opponent lose happily. "

The sense of achievement does not come from victory, but from the defeat of the enemy.

Just as suicide and wanting to die are two different things, one's own victory and the enemy's defeat, the latter is obviously more comfortable.

Learn to enjoy, enjoy the enemy's failure, this is your own success.

"I don't understand..."

Yoshino shook her head, and continued to comb Izuna's messy hair after blow-drying.

At this time, one of the two people in charge of the explanation asked.

[Speaking of which, since the start of the competition, I haven't seen the contestant 'Bahamut'. 】

----

Speaking of Bahamut...

"It is said that this thing is the plural form of Behemoth (Behemoth). 'Bahamoh' was mistakenly written as 'Bahamut' after it spread to Arabia, so the myths that were originally handed down have also changed."

In the reference room of the Dimensional Apartment, the Demon King, staring at the screen and listening to the voice, began to explain, and the next thing is

"Some people think that Bahamut is a giant fish with a giant bull on its back, a ruby ​​mountain and an angel who lives on the mountain, and the six hells are on the angel's head..."

"Leaving aside those boring legends, how does Mr. Demon King think of Bahamut, who has never shown up?"

Interrupting the Demon King's popular science, the girl named Troy huddled in the pile of books and asked this question.

Even if his words were interrupted in the middle, he didn't feel angry. The devil twisted his head and looked at the scene that was constantly changing the camera.

"As I said before, Bahamut has various forms. In addition to the giant fish mentioned just now, and the two forms of the dragon that the world is familiar with, there is another form."

"what is it then?"

"Didn't I already say that? Bahamut evolved from Behemoth, and Behemoth is a legendary monster."

Speaking of which, the Demon King turned to hang himself on the roof.

"Like from the ground to the roof, the change of legends will accumulate beliefs, and even the wicked can use the passage of time and lies to become the gods and lords believed in; the fish that support the giant bull, the giant beast that devours the earth , the flying dragon that never abandons the good, no matter what kind, people will give different degrees of belief, just like the recent human beings believe in the 'Goddess of the Earth'."

In my opinion, the Demon King continued on.

"Long stories, street legends, ancient rumors, records, and prayers carved on parchment will make people change the way of worshiping monsters, and the final result is to evolve into worshiping heaven and earth."

"It means... the existence of Bahamut also has uncertainty?"

"The story is a fabricated thing, you and I are the same, I don't know what kind of existence is that Bahamut in this apartment."

At this time, Troy turned on the barrage function and found that many people were complaining.

【Ainz is so strong! 】【Why did a weak guy get in here? 】【That's a believer of this goddess! 】【Come on!I made a bet! 】【Are there any benefits? 】【The skeleton is so strong! 】【It's not a skeleton, but a demon king...】...

"It feels like a lot of people are rooting for that skeleton look."

"Magic is the most intuitive and simple thing after all."

People prefer to use magic to deliver powerful attacks and use high technology to cause terrifying destruction. After all, it is fun and has more possibilities.

"Then Mr. Demon King, who do you think will win?"

"Ah... I just bought the one with the highest odds, just for fun."

"Is it 'Kazuma Sato' at the end?"

"Yes."

The Demon King nodded.

"After all, the No. 1 'Ainz' and the No. 2 'Jiu Ye' can't make much money."

The battle on the screen started again.

Chapter 25 Winners, Losers, Rebels

"Why are you naked again?"

"Because I'm not the protagonist in the anime, my clothes don't have an invincibility mechanism, and they don't have an automatic recovery function. If possible, can you lend me some of your clothes, Ms. Fubuki?"

"I'm wearing nothing underneath!"

"Oh oh oh oh!!!"

Jiuye who shouted like this was not excited by Fubuki holding the vacuum, but because of a change behind him and below, which made him quickly flee the scene. Even if he could bear it, Fuyuki couldn't bear it.

Just now, Jiu Ye was calculated by Kakine Teito. His speed, strength, and recovery power are all above this superpower. , distorted into an impossible vector, acting according to its own laws, so that Jiuye's last attack failed.

Seizing this gap, Kakine Teitoku knew that he couldn't kill Kuha immediately, so he turned to attack Shumi Airya and Fubuki who were in charge of protecting him, thus causing the current situation.

Kuba grabbed Fubuki from the air, and as for Shumi Erya, she used her magic while trampling the ground with her huge body like a comet hitting the earth.

"It's magic, but it looks more like an inherent barrier. It seems that the settings of many works can be applied to the residents of the Dimensional Apartment."

"What are you talking about? Paraphrase? Aren't many things just with different names?"

In the confusion, Fuxue heard Jiu Ye's speech, and she responded inappropriately.

"Yes, anyway, no matter whether it is a superpower, a magician or an artificial human, they are all non-human, and there is no difference."

But Jiuye thought about it carefully, why did he always subconsciously use "human beings" as the criterion for judging strength?If you are not a human but a werewolf, will you use the werewolf as the central point to distinguish?

For example, one human is equal to one tenth of a werewolf, one Frieza is equal to one hundred thousand werewolves...

"All in all strong guys are tricky."

Thinking of this, Jiuye thinks that he can drop Fubuki in his arms, and in this way, it is tantamount to eliminating a competitor.

But he quickly changed his mind, the current combination with Shumi Erya and Fubuki has a great advantage against Kakine Teito, there is no need to turn his face, what if they are used as bait later?

In order to know Miss Lord God's weakness, Jiuye tries to give herself an advantage, even if it is very insidious, after all, this is the real competition.

However, the duration of the ability was running out, Jiuye let go of Fubuki before it exceeded the range, and there was an undestroyed dense forest below.

"Wait for me here."

"If necessary, I will provide support."

"Um……"

Jiuye, who responded, quickly rushed back towards the battlefield. He didn't move too fast while holding Fubuki, but he increased his speed when he was alone.

Returning to the battlefield in an instant, Jiuye jumped into the air with less than half of his ability remaining in an instant.

Directly below, the red dragon seemed to have used the inherent enchantment skill. The ground that should have been covered with mud and trees began to crack and shatter. Red lava gushed out from the gap, and some over-expanded areas even began to A small eruption occurred.

The moves that Shumi Erya used were something Jiuye had never seen before, which also meant that she had never used her full strength when training with Shumi Erya before.

On the surface, the young dragon looks like an elf, but in fact he is a guy who is good at hiding himself and knows how to get along with others.

Thinking like this, Jiuye felt the high temperature, and he began to fall, and finally landed on a red-burned rock.

A little hot, but no problem.

The current Jiuye has learned to control this force. Even magma is just "water" with a relatively high temperature to him.

Boom! ! !Kakine Teitoku, whose location is unknown, has not reacted yet, and the ground that turned into a crater gradually began to erupt on a large scale, dyeing the world red and creating chaos.

"Shumi Erya, do you know where she is?"

"Even if this is my field, I can't make such a precise perception."

Moving his body, stomping his feet on the ground, the violent vibration caused the magma to roll, and Kakine Teitoku, who used the Migen material to protect himself, remained silent.
