Ultimate Being from the Tokonosu City

Chapter 214: Centipede



Chapter 214: Centipede

"...stopped?" 

"Yes." 

"By what?" 

"Pink-colored barriers." 

"...pink?" 

"...." 

Yet, this was a normal situation as they didn't expect that pink-colored barriers would stop the suicide bombing attacks they had planned. 

"...who it is?" 

"I am not sure, but I don't remember if there are strong adventurers with such a powerful barrier magic. Even if there is one, I will remember him or her as the color of this barrier magic is pink." 

"...you are right." 

Pink. 

They felt speechless, but they knew their suicide bombing plans had failed, and it was all due to pink-colored barriers that suddenly appeared one after another, stopping all of those explosions from hurting those people around or even destroying everything that was related to the Hestia Familia. 

Thanatos, Olivas Act, Valletta Grede, and Barca Perdix were left dumbfounded. No one, not even in their wildest imagination, could have foreseen this. They had meticulously planned their operation, even going as far as to disguise their members in civilian attire to avoid suspicion instead of using their usual black robes that were usually worn by pagan worshippers. 

Moreover, they even sent all of them to separate places, so those adventurers and the guild couldn't react! 

Yet—

All of them sighed helplessly, and then Thanatos asked, "Should we send them again?" 

"Well, why not?" 

Anyway, all those who they had lost were only weaklings and stupid followers, so they didn't even care if they lost them. More importantly, as long as they were able to take down the Hestia Familia, they knew that they could get a lot of money. 

"They aren't powerful, but they are too annoying."

Valletta grounded her teeth, thinking how hard they were living, especially when they lacked funds due to the various attacks that happened on the source of their incomes. 

"It's all because of him..." Barca also wasn't happy since if he lacked money, it was impossible for him to build his dream. 

If there was a reason why the Loki Familia, Ganesha Familia, and the guild could react swiftly to all of their activities, it was all due to Isao and the Hestia Familia, whose information gathering was simply the best on the Orario. 

It could be said that Isao had become the eyes of everyone. 

However, if Orario lost these eyes, would they still be able to see? 

"Though we need to know who this pinky is, so this person won't stop our plan again," Valletta rubbed her pink hair, feeling annoyed that someone had used such a color for doing something good! 

"Well, when we send another to explode, we will know, right?" 

"You are not wrong." 

While the suicide bombing might be troublesome, it was cheap and effective, especially since the only thing that this world didn't lack was stupid people who would follow Thanatos' words idiotically. 

"Hahaha..." Valletta looked at Thanatos and said, "Are you going to make a promise that they will meet their loved one again in the afterlife?" 

"Of course." Thanatos nodded calmly with a bright smile. "This is my job." 

Yes, to gather the members of the Evilus, he had always promised those people who joined that when they died, they would be able to meet their loved ones. Naturally, before they agreed, he reminded them that whenever they reincarnated, they would forget their previous memories. 

Yet, those people thought that they had always been an exception and thought that they could remember everything, then met their loved one who had passed away. 

'Ah... they might be stupid, but I love them.' 

Thanatos smiled in contentment. 

"Stop that smile. It's creepy." 

"Sorry, sorry." 

As Valletta and Thanatos talked to each other, Barca and Olivas talked about their plan to create more chaos and completely eradicate the Hestia Familia, this annoying fly that kept interrupting them with their own agendas. 

However, suddenly, a group of people came before them. 

Still, no one thought much since they knew that they were their followers, but didn't they send them to commit a suicide bombing? 

"What's wrong?" Thanatos looked at them with confusion and asked, "Why did you come back?" In other words, why didn't you blow yourself to the surface? 

"Thanathos-sama, we have something to report to you!" 

All of them were on their knees, appearing in reverence toward Thanatos as he was the god who promised them that they would meet their loved ones when they died after they completed their missions. 

"Report?" Thanatos was curious and asked, "What is it?" 

Valetta, Barca, and Olivas also looked at this group of people curiously, wondering what kind of information they had brought that they had chosen to stop their plan and not commit a suicide bombing. 

"It's the source of that pink barrier that stopped our plan. I know who is behind it." 

"Who is it?" Thanatos asked eagerly. 

"It's Iinuma Isao." 

"Iinuma Isao?" 4x

Olivas looked at the men strangely and asked, "You mean that captain of Hestia Familia?" 

"That Evil Flower?" 

"No, I have heard that his nickname is centipede." 

"Huh? Why? Isn't that an ominous nickname?" 

"Well, like a centipede, he suddenly found a crack in the house and entered the house without being detected by the owner before he bit his prey fiercely until they died." 

"Hahaha..." Thanatos smiled and said, "He seems like a good boy to me. I have liked to meet him once." 

Still—

"But isn't he just a Level 2? Do you mean that he can stop all of our suicide bombings on every part of Orario?" Valleta asked strangely. 

"Yes." The man nodded and was still in a kneeling position. 

"How did you know?" Barca asked strangely. 

"Because it was Isao-sama who ordered us to tell you." 

Suddenly, all of the men who had kneeled looked up and faced Thanatos, Valletta, Barca, and Olivas with crazed smiles. 

"—?!" 

"He told me to say, "You love bombs, right? This is my gift for you." 

At that moment, all of the men who were in the kneeling position pulled the trigger of their bombs and exploded. 

"VALLETTA, BRING THANATOS AWAY!" 

Olivas quickly screamed as he was ready to bear everything. 

Valletta also reacted quickly by grabbing Thanatos and running away. After all, as someone who had been trapped inside the dungeon with her blessing being sealed due to the death of her deity, she knew how important Thanatos was. 

Even if Thanatos was just a weakling in the lower world, without him, it was impossible for her to use her power! 

Or rather, the Evilus would crumble directly! 

Still, the fastest to react was Barca, running as fast as he could to stay alive since he didn't want to die, especially when the man-made dungeon, Knossos, which was his dream, hadn't been completed. 

"OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" 

Olivas screamed as he bore all the explosions, feeling his flesh was burnt, and the impact almost blew him away. 

"Violas!" 

Soon, many flower-eating flowers appeared and helped him block the explosion, but it was too late. 

BOOOOOOOOOOOM!! BOOOOOOOOOOM! BOOOOOOOOOM!! BOOOOOOOOOM!!

As the explosion happened, Valletta was thrown, and her back was burnt. 

As for Thanatos, while he was being protected, he was dumbfounded by the scene before him. 

It was carnage, a massacre, especially when the bombs happened at their headquarters, and many of their people were present, so at that moment, all of them were caught. 

More importantly, before those people committed a suicide bombing, Isao manipulated them to bring a napalm bomb with them, so at this moment, the fire kept spreading and never stopped, burning everything and exuding poisonous gas everywhere, killing all the people. 

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" 

Valletta cursed, feeling an intense pain as her back was burning, but she kept running while holding Thanatos. "What's happening?! What's happening?!" 

"The fire can't stop!" 

"Get as much water as you can!" 

"It's hot! My body is burning! Help me!" 

Everyone was in a panic, but Barca was even more so. "Stop the fire! You can't let this place be destroyed!" However, suddenly, he felt his chest tight, and he couldn't breathe as his head was seized by an intense pain!

"Poison?!" 

While Barca was at Level 4 and could hold on, the others passed away directly by the poisonous gas. 

"Close the room! Close the room quickly! This is a poisonous gas! Don't get close!" Olivas shouted even if his entire body was burning. If he was just a normal human, then he would die. Fortunately, he was a "Creature," so he could recover soon, but he was still in terror as the feeling of being burnt and receiving an impact from the explosion from such close a distance wasn't such a happy thing.

However, the damage caused by this attack was so severe Olivas decided to seal off the room and told everyone to leave the room, locking the room completely, sealing it off as it was 

All of them were in dread, watching the fire that kept spreading as it exuded the poisonous gas. 

While Barca wanted to complain, the poison had hit his body, so he couldn't say anything. 

Fortunately, the room was sealed off soon, but there were still many who were inside. 

Nevertheless, even if there were many people inside the room that was sealed off, it was quiet, and there were no screams, yet they knew that it was all due that they had died. 

All of them felt an intense fear, thinking about how revenge would come so soon.

"Centipede..."

Somehow, Thanatos kept muttering this name as he saw many of his men dead. 

A small insect crawled secretly inside the house and then chewed off its prey without even realizing it. 

'Ah... if only he is an Evilus member...' 

Then, Thanatos could imagine that the world was in chaos!

Yet, if Isao was the enemy, then...

By the way, if you forget, the pink barrier magic comes from Sakurai Honami's DNA, which is from the world of Mahouka.
