Kumo Desu ga, Nani ka? – Chapter 145

145 The sinking earth

I extinguish the fire on my body with “Medicine Synthesis”.
A relieved breath.
My decreased MP begins to recover rapidly.

Alaba can’t move anymore.
It has no power to move.
Although the HP has not change yet, if the SP is exhausted, the HP will also be exhausted at the same time.
And, its SP is in a situation where it might be exhausted just by moving a little.

Now, it’s like I can just boil it or roast it.
Fufufu.
Although it was a harder fight than what I expected, it became the end as my assumption.

I have judged that it was impossible to reduce Alaba’s HP completely from the beginning.
The skill of the scale series possessed by the Dragon species that obstructs magic has a very bad affinity with me.
Even if I hit it physically, it’s like the hand used to hit aches.
Alaba’s defensive ability is overwhelmingly higher than my offensive ability.

That’s why, I give up on the HP.
If the HP is not good, I should just reduce the SP.
And, the one that can do it is “Sloth”.
My broken skill number 4.

“Sloth” was acquired relatively quick after I evolved into Ede Saine.
To be honest, because I didn’t understand the explanation, I didn’t regard it highly, but when I acquired it, I was surprised of the good affinity with me.
If I use the “Evil Eye of Grudge”, not only the HP, but the decrease of the other status also becomes greater.
Although there’s not much effect on Alaba, when it’s an opponent that don’t have the “Abnormal Condition Resistance”, it becomes a brutal combo to the extent that I can win with this only.

In addition, if I use it with Transfer, I can force a one-sided protracted war on my opponent.
I can always confirm my opponent’s status by marking, interfere its meal by appearing suddenly with Transfer, and even wait for its SP to be exhausted thoroughly.
I mean, this was the strategy that I was going to use on Alaba.
Because it has acquired an unnecessary thing like “Space Perception”, it was dangerous that it became impossible to use my Transfer thoughtlessly.
Among the skills that Alaba acquired, the most troublesome one might have been “Space Perception”.

Because Alaba bring out its full power that can be said as desperate effort, I succeeded in exhausting its SP more faster.
If Alaba has more composure, the result might be different.
Because there were neither carelessness nor a chance, it was defeated conversely.
It’s a nasty strategy even if I say so myself.

Well then, Alaba, have you compose a haiku?
I will help you.
It’s time to put an end to our fight.
If you can’t move, I can shoot magic as much as I like.
Will its HP be reduced finished first? Or, will its SP be exhausted first?
I wonder which is it.

I look down on Alaba from the air while a vulgar smile floats in my heart.
Alaba raises its neck slowly.
Our eyes met.

It startled.
Those eyes were freshly clear.

What’s with those eyes.
You lost to me.
You should be more frustrated like a loser.

Alaba turn its body over slowly like warding off my abusive language.
However, only its neck is facing me straightly.

And, abnormality occurs in Alaba’s appraised status.
The character of the skills become gray.
This is the activation of the skills being turned off.
By turning off the skills that are activated continuously, the color of the character when appraising becomes gray.
Alaba’s skills become gray one after another.
The “Heaven Scale” skill that severely tormented me also.
Various resistance-type skills as well.

So, you won’t resist, huh?
What’s with that.
Really, what’s with that.
Why are you satisfied arbitrarily?
Because you did your best, you have no regrets?
Is it like that?

Don’t joke with me!
Be greedier.
Beg for your life more.
Live and struggle.
Why can you throw away your life so easy?
Life, if you lose it once, it won’t return to you anymore, you know?

Because I was reincarnated, it might not be persuasive, but usually, it’s the end when you die, you know?
How can you end it gallantly?
Then, what am I who struggle to not wanting it to end?

Or, is it because you know that it won’t end even if you die in this world?
If that’s the case, it’s irritating all the more.

Ah, fine.
I will kill you just as you wish.

I release all Evil Eyes.
Grudge, Stasis, Magnetism, and Extinction.

Alaba’s body became dust and vanished without resisting.

    that was sad ;-;. should have gained a pet dragon instead >.<

  2. Tsubasa says:

    Graciously accepted its defeat after a hard fought battle. A worthy foe.

  3. cocosama says:

    and . . . kumo chan didnt eat it . . .

    • Gunther says:

      I think she couldn’t bear to insult his warrior spirit by eating him after killing him.

      • moutonslayer says:

        Maybe kumo will eat it in the future chapter maybe ^^ she lost all the spider in the battle 😉

        • RoflCat says:

          She still have the Arch (the 15m long) she teleported to middle layer to grill alive.

          The bees/Greater and lower spiders are gone, but that grilled spider is still up there.

      • Gunther says:

        Baka. Were talking about Alaba here. His body was destroyed and turned to dust. How can she eat it now or later? Baaaaaaaaka

    • RoflCat says:

      I think she feels conflicted.

      On one hand, she and it both knows this is over, she’s won, it fell into a checkmate and whatever it do will not change the outcome.

      On the other hand, she feels it’s treating its life too cheaply, rather than desperately looking for a solution to the situation, it simply lays down and accept defeat (even if she herself also know there’s no solution)

      Basically it chose Concede instead of giving whatever meager struggle it have left until its life run out.
      To it, it’s probably a gesture of “you’ve bested me, do what you will”, a lay down of sword, be it either as respect to the one who’ve bested it, an acceptance of death, possibly a side effect of sloth in ‘I don’t care anymore’ (see The Lazy King on yoraikun), or whatever.

      But to her, who’ve always struggled against impossible foes, using any and everything to survive, such acceptance of death is an insult to her way of life.
      Yet she understands it, that’s why rather than being in joy of it being over, she’s frustrated.

      To kill it would be accepting its choice.
      But to not kill it also goes against both her goal (level up asap) and ALSO her way of life.

      So she just destroys it in one attack, like a frustrated child burst out in tantrum.
      She got the exp, it died, but the bad taste remains.

  4. Skeithking says:

    Was almost 100% sure we were going to get a pet dragon, T T

  5. Yakult says:

    If I recall correctly, the Earth Dragons are akin to Fenrir right?

  6. jacobpaige says:

    Was half expecting the pet dragon scenario, but she’s a loner at heart and I doubt she’d ever be able to bring herself to trust the dragon anyway. Plus, she seems to want to kill everyone, so not much point in sparing him.

  7. Zoe says:

    “Or, is it because you know that it won’t end even if you die in this world?
    If that’s the case, it’s irritating all the more.”
    probably one of the mysteries under the taboo. Along with what sensei have said, it really is a game. The administrators are real human beings.

  8. Node says:

    That’s just sad. Poor Alaba.

  9. Aria says:

    … is it just me that think alaba is a sore looser and purposely give up just so kumo can’t have a “victorious” feeling?

    or maybe it’s just the effect of sloth 😡 (SP 0 -> super uber duper ultra mega giga tera tired)
