Arifureta After III Abyss Lord Arc Chapter 2 The Security Bureau's Future Is…

–

Bubble rose up treh it was seething

Instantly,

――iaAAAAAAAAAAAH

Disgusting shriek infringed inside the room

「――!?」

An unseen i Professor Littman's neck was forcefully torn off and he was bloay until the wall in one go

He collapsed the towers of books while colliding on the ith an impact that cracked the surface

「Gahah」

The air inside his lungs was forcefully ejected and Kousuke lost his breath

He landed on one knee When he raised his gaze, he could see Professor Littot up with a bizarreon the wall

The shadoith hard to describe shape were running from wall to wall like shadow picture

「Guah」

An iain fro by an unseen existence and he crashed on the wall oncewas there Innuure There were only shadows reflected on the wall

At the same time when he fell on the floor, Kousuke trusted his instinct and leaped to the side Instantly water splash rose from his previous spot and even the wall behind it collapsed

Desperately, Kousukeand threw his kunai at the shadow on the wall But, the kunai only pierced the wall and there wasn't any effect to the shadow

――IAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

「Guh!?」

Iht below him His solar plexus was pushed up and Kousuke's body folded into the shape of "<" while floating in the air Right after that, iht above in a flash Kousuke was blown to the flooded floor without even any tih his feet got caught and he was throay like that with a fierce e bookshelves that looked solid Intense pain ran froh ed like an avalanche along with a lot of books

「Hmm The materialization into this world is successful but……only the shadow Although, physical influence can be exerted It's only a matter of time until completeto hily to Kousuke as buried in destroyed large bookshelf and e was deep because he didn't stand up

Professor Littman snorted and jerked his chin Then, a part of the shadows that were running around on the wall, ceiling, and floor gathered toward Kousuke

They were like poltergeist The bookshelf was e amount of books floated in the air Like that, Kousuke as buried under the books floated together with them

「Guh, kafuh」

It seemed that he was lifted up by his neck, so Kousuke held his neck with both his hands and gasped painfully He was shining faintly froth that was grasping his neck didn't decrease at all Blood was flowing fro down from his temple

「Kuh, yo, u-, what the hell, are you-」

「Just as you can see, I am a mere university professor, just a simple researcher」

「A simple, researcheer? -, that's, a harsh joke there」

Professor Littaze toward the kunai Kousuke threw Just from that, the kunai was pulled out by itself fro that, the shadow that was projected on the ceiling was slowly approaching near Professor Littman

Most likely, it wasn't that Professor Littman had telepathic power, but the unseen existence received coht the kunai to hiht to him and he stared at it in concentration, then he started to talk with a tone as though continuing a lecture

「No, it's the truth I just wanted to know God and demon, heaven and hell Those concepts, just when and where they were created I wanted to know the beginning That was all」

「De, mon……」

Kousuke ruminated that one word Yes, the existence that he encountered in the world at the other side of theto break his neck right now, indeed, they were certainly demon

It wasn't an unknown another world or even unknown creature This was truly what the people on earth knew as the concept of "hell" and "demon"

「However, you What is called as record so created by those in power for their own convenience, soation and interpretation, just who can proof that it's the truth or not」

Professor Littaze as though he was looking at a rock at the roadside The books that were destroyed and turned into tragic condition due to the water or because of the shockwave of the battle were glared with shining red eyes

Kousuke guessed This situation, Professor Littman's conduct It must be the result of that phrase that so realized in real life

「I, see You, sold, your soul to demon huh」

「I can buy the truth with that I think it can be said as a reasonable transaction」

「From, that so called reasonable transaction……what did you find out?」

Kousuke didn't struggle any at Professor Littned

Professor Littman looked back at Kousuke's eyes

「Tell me your root」

It seemed that even this was a transaction If Kousuke wanted to know his knowledge, then Kousuke should also teach him the secret of his power

「……That's fine But……you first It will be unbearable if I get killed right away after talking」

The opponent was a man who sold even his soul to demon for the sake of his pursuit Kousuke's condition didn't even make Professor Littman hesitate

「Very well Then, you In the first place, do you understand what is the existence that is called demon?」

'The hell if I know', he wanted to spit that out, but he sed that feeling and told no wit his gaze

「They are human Demon is the ruin of what human once was However, it's with the attached proviso that they are huht that he had heard a story like this from somewhere Kousuke narrowed his eyes, which Professor Littman perceived that it seemed he was in doubt His h he was feeling really happy to display his knowledge

「The world that we human titled as "hell", is truly in a state that is worthy for the title "hell", but once it was overfloith nature and it was a world with rows of cities that were developed even further than the current earth」

Fro, the "hell" was another world with existence that overlapped with "earth" Although there was gap betorld, both worlds would occasionally influenced each other――spirited away, supernatural phenomenon, UMA, etc――due to the closeness

And then, the residence of the world that was far more developed than earth noticed the earth's existence

「Miracle, ic, sorcery……smoke won't rise without fire The live coals that is the cause for the birth of those concepts was, yes, the technology of them who crossed to earth You understand now? In the period that is called as ancient era, at the far past, ic also existed in earth Because the residence of hell brought theendary weapons, chosen heroes, and also great people existed The mythical beasts and od's ic, you say?」

「Yes, that's right, you The residences of hell, the de――they were truly gods」

Certainly, for people who only possessed priods To say nothing if they could receive that godly work, it could be said that the natural floas to worship those people

For the residences of hell, it e with another world, or perhaps it was because of their greed to rule, it was unclear which was the reason, but anyway they brought the technology called s, which resulted in earth also acco rapid development

So to speak, as called as super ancient civilization was so like that

「But, you Destroyed by a power that is too great is soe Do you understand?」

「I, predicted that And there, you understood then?」

「Yes, I understood Of god and de and otherworlder」

There was no clear division If there was otherworlder who sided with earth, there was also earthling who sided with the other world

But, it seemed definite that there was outbreak of conflict that crossed the torlds

As the result, a power that was equal with the work of god transformed the other world into "hell", and the losers were locked into that world

「The demons are the otherworlders who lost the conflict, and the earthlings who sided with those otherworlders, reduced to astill cannot catch up with the details, but in order to survive in that changed world, they devised a method to survive with only their soul」

At the sa violently in hell――that which was called as "the wind of lamentation" seemed usable to form transient flesh body which was centered on the soul

Although, in the first place the "hell" was a world that wasn't suitable for people with flesh body to continue to exist Thus, just like how those ghoul-like things looked like that, the flesh body there was constantly incoly As for their ability to think, people whose soul was particularly of fine quality when they were huree, but normal people were only able to act instinctually

「That is the reason why they are trying to descend into this world If they are able to materialize in earth, they will be able to maintain definite flesh body Like that, naturally the rank of their soul will rise and they will be able to take back their thinking ability」

「Is, that all? It's not, right?」

「Correct "That person" is trying to acco desire That is to unify and rule the torlds He wants Claudia Barenberg in order to becohty existence So that even if the kings who suppressed "that person" like in the past return, he will be able to defeat theuah」

Kousuke tried to askhis neck choked strongly

「Hm It's not like I don't want to continue my lecture for a bit more but, it looks like the deh I aht, in the end I aive them order」

Now, speak of your truth

Professor Litt that Perhaps he should be called as truth fanatic He would sell even his soul to de his spirit of enquiry, and he had decided that he wouldn't give a da chilling even for Kousuke who had struggled through nue

And so,

「Thank you for the lecture As for my truth……please experience it in practice」

He returned the professor's words before this right back at him At the same time, puff Kousuke vanished with that sound The place he materialized was of course at the position of the kunai Professor Litt

「Shih」

「Guah!?」

It seemed that even deh space Kousuke who appeared before Professor Littht his face, blowing hie bookshelf that had teure But, Professor Littman didn't crash to there

「For now, sink」

The bookshelf that was full of gap froh in eruption What showed up was another Kousuke――a clone body

Yes, while his figure was hidden by the collapsed bookshelf, Kousuke created a clone body and made it stayed inside the bookshelf The clone body put on stealth with all seriousness, while the ic power to show his existence strongly It was a gae to hide properly

A heel drop kick by that clone shot down the flying Professor Littht Professor Littman bounced on the floor like reeled up fish

The de on the wall and ceiling Presently there were several demons inside the room They were unseen and their presence couldn't even be sensed Most likely because their materialization was still incomplete their state becah, just how much time had passed until now Kousuke of course had the objective of pulling out knowledge froest reason was to solve this troubleso ti as he had tih he had no aptitude for it……

「――"Absolute Calaic!

The black star of calaic that he finallyforits tremendous effect amply

Books, fixtures, and then the de were pulled and sed in

Gravitysiic that pulled object into it, but different from the final secret art "Black Heaven Destitution", it didn't have the power to annihilate the things that were pulled in, it could only co this would be pressured to death by that point so there was no problem, but for demons, especially when they weren't completely materialized, they werethem to death would work

And so, just in case Kousuke tossed in flaic nonco a person as they pleased like this Burn splendidly there, you bunch of demons」

The "water" that acted as substitute tunnel for crossing over the gap of the world should be evaporated too with this, so surely there wouldn't be anymore deh and let tension slipped out fro even more suicide」

The clone that launched heel drop kick restrained Professor Littn object inside hissomewhere in his body As expected, the clone discovered a small case filled with pills inside the professor's pocket

Kousuke quickly took out "Betting on the Pride of Villager" to make the professor's soul leaned toward his side before the whisper of the demon could drive him into frenzy
