Novel The Max Level Hero has Returned! - Chapter 442

Episode 442

136. Traces of Outsiders

What would happen to people if their skin was peeled off with a sharp blade while they were alive?

The little girl who sold flowers to me is also a girl, but the most serious situation was the girl’s mother.

It was because she was tied up and hacked in front of her daughter by a man she hadn’t seen before.

The despair, fear, and pain I felt then.

Nothing was easy for an ordinary person to bear.

“Can we erase everyone’s memories?”

“okay. Erase it completely so that there are no aftereffects left.”

In response, I told Millefeuille to erase all memories of the people I saved that day.

Originally, it was something Josiah could do, but she had already used the power of many vampires once.

The more she uses her power, the faster her instincts wake up. I have no choice but to be careful because useless irrational numbers can lead to runaways.

Thanks to this, instead of a pheasant, they decided to erase all their memories using millefeuille.

It is possible to manipulate the brain with simple hallucination magic, but there are few races that can manipulate memories as cleanly and without sequelae as vampires.

Wordlessly, she cut her own hands with a knife to create blood, which she fed drop by drop to her victims.

As soon as her powers manifested, the horrific memory of them disappeared from their heads.

The wounds are gone and the memories are erased.

They returned to their normal lives and their memories were erased, but the facts of that time did not disappear.

“The one who will kill this world! amnesty! Give me a chance too! I want to avenge the grudge of my people he killed!”

It seems that one of the victims was a dwarf.

Seeing him swaying furiously as if he was about to break his head with a hammer in his hand at any moment, I intervened.

“Go away at once. I have no intention of killing this guy so easily.”

“I won’t kill you! Are you saying you’re going to keep this guy alive?!”

“When I die, that’s it.”

At my words, he opened his eyes wide and then nodded.

“That’s right!”

The shaking of his fists seemed quite feverish.

“Josiah suffered.”

“Oh no. If there’s anything I can help with, I’ll help. But you’re not going to wash your mouth with this, are you?”

I wriggled my eyes at the words of Josiah Francos, who skillfully asked, and she smiled brightly.

“Well then.”

“ruler. It’s time for the kids to go back.”

“Wait!”

Span!!

With those words, mana flowed from my hand holding Josiah’s shoulder, and the background around her and me changed completely.

“What a surprise!”

“Kids, it’s bedtime. I’m sorry I didn’t look very good.”

“Oh no…”

She scratched the back of her neck and averted her gaze, perhaps feeling ashamed of herself.

“Well then, sir!”

Josiah, who had been thinking for a while, spoke to me in a determined voice as if he had made up his mind soon.

Of course, I immediately used teleportation magic without even listening to the story.

“Please let me drink some blood.”

It looks like he asked me for something, but it doesn’t seem important, so I ignore it.

Returning to the Hines estate, I immediately lifted the red alert and ordered the waiting chamberlain Berneul and Amy to prepare for the funeral of the victims.

“You look very busy?”

“I brought a lot of things from over there.”

At my words, she smiled and then came up on top of my head and sat down lightly.

Then he patted the top of my head and smiled playfully.

“It was hard. Davey.”

“It was a lot of trouble.”

Normally, I would have replied jokingly, but this time it was a little different.

The plans for the things to do were piled up one by one in my head, but it felt like a terrible fatigue.

“I am exhausted. If you say that you are so tired, it must mean that you used a large amount of the spirit’s spare energy.”

Saying so, she returned to her original form and pressed my head, causing her thigh to cut my head.

“Take a break for a little while.”

“…”

At those words, without hesitation, I tossed my head around and closed my eyes.

“okay. There is no need to rush.”

Perserk just looked down at me with a mischievous face.

* * *

“We don’t have a good relationship, do we?”

“It’s strange that you can’t log out… Is this some kind of troublesome quest?”

“Write it if you ask me.”

His mask shattered at my plaintive words, and he frowned.

Either way, I looked around for the pistol he had.

No matter how you look at it, it’s very similar to Earth’s pistol.

“Desert Eagle.”

He narrowed his eyes as I muttered quietly and read the words engraved on the side of the gun.

“Will you put down the dangerous toys?”

“A dangerous toy? Do you think I don’t know how lethal this is?”

“Ha, uncivilized people wouldn’t even know how to handle that stuff.”

“I could kill you with this. Let’s stop talking nonsense and exchange necessary information with each other.”

“Kuh… kuh heh. Do you think I will speak?”

I feel no pain, so I have no fear. There is no fear of death because the mind that one does not die remains.

Of course, it is doubtful whether death itself will stimulate him, who says that death is a natural step.

He stimulated me, provoked me, and amused me.

of course.

Clap… Taang!!!

“What?”

Without hesitation, he loaded a bullet into the chamber and pulled it away. His expression changed.

He seemed a little puzzled by my way of handling the gun and putting a bullet through his leg without hesitation.

“Do you think you’ve become an expert on killing a person or two?”

“What are you talking about? I just did art.”

“Art freezes to death.”

Taang!!

“Chehehe?!”

As soon as the bullet pierced his arm, his expression contorted for a moment.

Slowly, the medicine starts to turn.

I took a leisurely step and smiled and loaded the bullet again.

There were quite a few bullets left in the pocket on his waist, so he intended to use every last one.

“Isn’t it strange? That’s what pain is.”

“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu”

He frowned at the sensation he felt for the first time in his life.

“How… do you know how to deal with it? Besides… this sense…”

“Ah, of course, a normal person will die if they do one wrong thing. But you were pretty strong. I wouldn’t die easily. And you’re wondering how I know this?”

Clap… Taang!!!

Another foot was lodged in his body.

“If you are curious, keep wondering. It’s the fuck.”

Taang!!!

He convulsed once more and looked at me gasping for air.

“In any era, there has never been an era in which artists were persecuted and looked good. Thousands of years of my hometown’s history proves it…”

“You don’t know how a psychopathic killer like you died on that planet, right?”

Speaking calmly, I grabbed his finger, touched it lightly, and then expressed my strength.

“Heah ah ah!”

At the same time, the red energy burned one of his fingers intact, and I turned away ignoring him screaming in excruciating pain.

“For the time being, you will have to die here. By the way, I blocked the confident logout you believe in, so don’t even think about running away.”

“You bastard… you weren’t an NPC. Are you a user?”

“Did I look like a user in your eyes?”

He gave me a look that he couldn’t understand. Certainly, anyone with an idea can’t help but wonder at my existence, knowing game terms in a world where games don’t exist.

“Nonsense. According to your words, this place is real. But there are no games in this world! Neither your handling of this gun nor your knowledge of system elements are lies. A piece of data dares to laugh at the warrant of creation?!”

“Who said you were the lord of creation? A weak mutant like…”

Taang!!!

If you forget, put bullets into his body.

It was a strange body.

The part that was cut off grew again, and the part that was hit by the bullet passed only a certain amount of pain as if it were regenerating, and then disappeared again.

It’s probably a concept similar to HP in normal games. Even if more existences like this appeared, the situation on the continent might go through many changes.

Even if you die, you will be resurrected, and you will disappear before you know it, and you will not grow old and will not get tired.

Are you a xphalem that came out between an angel and a devil?

Even a berserker does not have a body like this.

“I have nothing to say to a savage who has no sense of my art.”

He was embarrassed by the pain he felt for the first time in his life, but he did not let go of his murderous gaze.

There are many things a guy who keeps his mouth shut needs.

A mana saw named Dialogue.

A high-speed spinning mana drill named Negotiation.

A whip made of a mixture of the bones and leather of a drake named peace.

Finally, a miniaturized mana shell named Forgiveness.

All of the weapons that Megatron was equipped with, but not the size of a golem, were reduced to a size that would be usable by an ordinary person.

It wasn’t made by me, but the Dwarves who saw Megatron’s equipment were terrified of its shape, but succeeded in improving it.

“Don’t equate art with merciless aimless murder.”

“In my eyes, that guy is that guy, you trash bastard. ”

[8th Rank Holy Magic]

[High Recovery]

Taang!!

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”

“Are you sick? I shot it because it hurts.”

“It’s a lowly thing with no purpose or meaning!”

“Is that what you were doing? is not it? don’t worry. You will see me for a very long time. If you’ve been living your own way up until now, you should know that that’s not the case now.”

Of course, apart from the heinous guys above, the bullets from the handgun are enough.

* * *

If your reaction is similar to that of a normal person, you might call it a psychopath.

The painting was a real psychopath.

From not being able to feel pain to not being able to empathize with other people’s feelings, it was terrifyingly heterogeneous.

After venting my anger in the name of interrogation, I wiped my hands as I looked at him moaning without losing consciousness.

At this point, your mental resistance must have dropped a lot.

Knock!

Grabbing his head, I began to use my necromancer magic.

There are still many ghosts who have not attained Buddhahood and have become grudges and cling to them, but when I made up my mind and raised my hand, they began to cling to me as if they were very excited.

“You were always on top of someone and doing whatever you wanted, right? I don’t mind hearing the information I need from you.”

It would be nice to be in the opposite position.

“Research on what changes occur in the brain when a person is exposed to extreme stress and fear is taboo, so I didn’t carelessly touch it, but it went well.”

Please cooperate with me there.

Soon after, a desperate scream began to echo from his mouth, who had lived without knowing pain and casually took other people’s lives.

* * *

There was a reason why I spent time harassing him unreasonably.

The weaker the mental power, the more gaps to dig in.

“how is it?”

“It is as you expected. I think the earth is right.”

“Earth… There must have been no virtual reality games on Earth?”

“I flipped his memory around.”

She told me what she saw.

A few years ago, virtual reality technology suddenly began to spread across the globe.

Technology developed like after rain, and many fields began to develop accordingly.

Gaming was one of those areas.

People on Earth were enjoying virtual reality in various fields such as RPG games and FPS games.

It was the same in the case of [Figure]. He was a psychopath who couldn’t actually feel pain and couldn’t empathize with other people’s emotions. He actually killed people, but when the encirclement gradually narrowed, he disappeared and began to solve his desire to kill in the mask of art through a game.

There were many elements that satisfied him because there were so many games full of reality.

The problem arose there.

It is unknown who created and disseminated virtual reality.

Grim discovered a bug while playing the game. It seemed that this was the place where they entered through that gap.

Arriving here, he has been logging out for a long time and has been alternating between the Earth and this place, shunting off pursuit and pursuing his own art.

Another thing appeared with the power to create dimension shifts.

It wouldn’t be a big problem if Grim was the only Irregular who experienced this phenomenon.

“It could never happen.”

“Because it’s too contrived to count as a mere coincidence. Perhaps this is just the beginning.”

Someone intervened on Earth.

It couldn’t be the Goddess Freea, the main god, and if it was a being with enough interference ability to create dimension shifts or arbitrarily create virtual reality… it must have had a purpose other than just pasting the clock.

There was too little information given to investigate such a thing.

There is a way to go to Earth with a dimensional key, but the reality is that you cannot find Earth with a randomly placed dimensional key.

It was the moment I was contemplating with Perserk.

I felt a familiar presence and slowly opened the window.

“come in.”

As I muttered softly to the air, a man with a good physique appeared in a black uniform as if he had waited.

“Aina.”

At my words, the man immediately lowered his head and touched the necklace, transforming himself into a slender Dark Elf woman.

“How did you know I was there?”

“I know because I can see it.”

“Still, I have improved a lot more than before.”

“Don’t wrinkle in front of the chrysalis.”

Her stealth ability is literally child’s play compared to Hermeisha, the hero of the corridor, who was called the king of watering.

“okay. What did you find out with Annabelle accompanying you?”

The other day, I had her investigate the existence of a fairy that started to spread rumors in Verdande and the northern small kingdom of the Eastern Continent.

In fact, Aina had been on that mission for a long time with Annabelle accompanying her.

“First of all, I’m telling you this because you might be a bit surprised… is that okay?”

“surprised? Did you get anything right?”

“Please pass on the surroundings….”

At her words, I glanced around.

Recognizing Aina’s appearance, Lynn and Perserk stick their heads out as to when they came in.

um no problem

“continue. It doesn’t matter.”

At my words, Aina let out a short sigh and patted her face with the palm of her hand.

“First of all, it seems that the name of the woman called a fairy is [Kuina]. Age seemed to be between 17 and 20 years old. It seems like a pseudonym, so I researched it, but there was no way to find out the real name.”

“Other than that.”

“There are also questions about her ability to heal. I researched it in various ways through Annabelle, but the recovery ability that the fairy girl used was a little different from the divine power.”

A non-divine recovery magic?

“And… honestly, I couldn’t understand it, but I thought I should tell you…” ”

What else?”

“They often say strange things about the job being bad or that leveling up isn’t easy.”

therefore.

I don’t know what kind of repercussions it will have even if one thing comes over, so I have to prepare for the future so I can get ahead.

As soon as I grabbed the picture, it appeared again?

I started to feel cheap.

“At first glance, it sounds like nonsense, but I just can’t get over it.”

Aina doesn’t know much about painting. But, in other words, I couldn’t just pass it by…

“The guild has witnessed that word being used all over the continent…”

Oh, Pria-sama.
