I Became a Soul Eater

Fearless, Howard stepped forward without hesitation and slipped into the phase dimension.

The number of people entering is me, Howard, Setas, Argin, and Shark. Later, depending on the situation, more Androids could be put in, but for now, we decided to start like that.

Everyone entered in turn, and it was my turn to be the last. I looked back at the people left behind.

I had already said goodbye, but people who could be called my family, including Lena, Nivea, and Peace, were watching over me. This may be the last moment.

“Then I will go”

I said goodbye that might be the last. Lena didn’t know what it was yet, so she was smiling brightly, and Peace was holding Lena’s and Nivea’s hands with both hands. Nivea seemed to be holding back tears.

I asked Bastet, who was rarely stepping on the ground apart from Setas.

“Please take care of your family.”

Instead of answering, Bastet walked slowly and jumped into Lena’s arms and hugged her. As long as Bastet is by her side, the safety of her family will not be a problem no matter what happens.

You don’t have to think about anything else. You just have to win. You just have to win and come back. I threw myself into the blue space.

As soon as I entered, what caught my eye was a really desolate desert-like place. It feels similar to when I entered Cthula’s space in the past.

In the middle of the endless desert, a black dimensional hole was open, and around it were her friends who had entered first.

Considering the time I entered, I couldn’t have moved as much as I did, so it seems that the concept of time here is different from that of outer space.

As expected, the connection with the alter ego outside was also severed. I walked slowly to my colleagues. Enemies hadn’t come pouring out of Utuka’s hole yet.

“Is the time different from outside here in Setas?”

“I didn’t intentionally design it that way, but it looks like that. It seems that a gap occurs as the spaces overlap, but I couldn’t calculate that.”

It feels like time passes much faster in the phase dimension, so the year we have left will come quickly. At this point, I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.

“Can I go out again?”

“Well, it seems to be harder than I thought. After starting the equipment and calculating the coordinates, you need to synchronize with the original dimension, but a year may pass faster in this time than that time.”

Not good news. Actually, I didn’t have high expectations in the first place.

Then Utuka’s dimensional hole began to change. Utuka’s dimensional hole, which had grown little by little, was now an oval with a diameter of about 20 meters, but it was more than doubling in size.

“Oh, wouldn’t this be nice?”

Even the guys who came out right away were formidable guys. Even if there are guys who are more than twice as strong as the size of the hole, it won’t be a problem to deal with them right away, but this is a long-term battle. No matter how many turns you play against, your stamina can be an issue.

No one was nervous. Howard had a slightly annoyed expression on his face, and Setas was as perplexed as usual.

Argin and Shaq rather seemed to be burning with a fighting spirit. Both of them are born innocent. Up until now, he was just having a tedious fight with an enemy of a lower level, so he might be rather pleased with the fact that a strong enemy might emerge.

At that moment, Utuka’s dimensional door began to vibrate. It’s different from before. Never had anything like this before.

“Something is coming.”

At Howard’s warning, we jumped back at the same time.

Contrary to the loud effect, a being stepped out from inside with a very slow pace and a relaxed look.

Surprisingly, it is humanoid. It was rolled up on two legs, had two arms, and had eyes, nose, and ears. But that doesn’t mean it’s human.

Anyone can see that they are not human. It looks like a human being cut into thousands of pieces and then stitched together. The limbs and head remain in place, but the eyes, nose, and ears are attached in a very free arrangement and proportion.

“hello. everyone”

It knew how to speak. It was even bizarre to see the mouth far above the forehead moving and clattering.

No one answered the monster’s greeting from us. It was only evident on their faces that everyone was worried about who they resembled and whether they would just kill them.

“Oh my gosh, I thought you would accept my greetings. It doesn’t matter. Let me start with my introduction. My name is Sorceus, the 37th apostle of Utuka.”

Sorceus introduced himself in a dignified and nice voice that was as inappropriate as a name that did not match his appearance at all.

I’m not a weak guy in my opinion. But he’s not too strong to be against. Argin would be a good opponent.

However, one thing to be careful of is that he introduced himself as the 37th apostle. There is no information that can tell whether a god with many apostles is strong. But if so, Utuka is a really strong god.

Also, there was no word that he was the last apostle, and he did not know whether the order of the apostles was in order of strength.

By my standards, Junon, a strong deity, and Anger, the Saint, are the only apostles. I am also a saint, but I cannot be regarded as an apostle of Junon.

Bastet doesn’t know if there are any apostles, but at least she hasn’t seen them yet.

As for Ctula, the only apostles I know are Nanagopi, whom I personally took, and Count Ctolari, who stands on the border between apostles and servants.

“Are you the last of Utuka’s apostles?”

After all, I am the only one to ask this question.

“Who are you?”

“This is Germain Akasha.”

“Ah, that famous person. Excuse me for this. To answer your question, I am not the last apostle.”

I don’t know if he’s telling the truth, but he’s a guy who answers well.

“Then are you the weakest apostle?”

“Could it be so?”

It was very repulsive to smile with the messy eyes, nose and mouth moving at the same time.

“The reason I came out first is because I have a pleasing appearance.”

“That’s a boring joke.”

If that is a pleasing appearance, how bizarre are the others? Rather, the chimera-like ones that had popped up so far had a more desirable appearance than that Sorceus.

“But it is true. I’m really sorry to hear that you have a low aesthetic sense that doesn’t appreciate my appearance, but my looks don’t matter. I’m here to give you a suggestion.”

“try”

“It is said that Utuka accepts all of you as apostles. Are you not truly merciful?”

I thought about it for a while. It wasn’t that he was worried about becoming an apostle of Utuka. He worried that if he killed this guy now, a stronger one would come out, so it would be beneficial to wait.

But before my troubles were over, the subject of my troubles disappeared.

Sorceus, who was grinning with an ugly face, split in two.

“He’s an unassuming guy.”

Howard muttered with a face that still bothered him. I don’t know how he got his hands on it, but I think Howard did it.

“I was thinking about wasting time, but what if I just kill him?”

“Anyway, all the apostles will come out before Utuka comes out, so it’s better to take some time to kill him quickly.”

is it? Come to think of it, that is also true. It is also true that all the apostles must be killed before the end of the year.

But Sorceus, split in half, was wriggling on the floor.

“Oh, that one isn’t dead yet.”

Setas approached Sorceus, who was wriggling and moving as if trying to reunite, and set off the incendiary magic and began to burn it with fire.

Sorceus, who had become two, wriggled madly like a salted earthworm, and soon turned to ashes.

It absorbed the soul that escaped as soon as Sorceus died. Then some strength increased and some knowledge gained.

“Are you done with one of them?”

“Since he said it’s not the end, there must be at least 50?”

“What if there are hundreds of times?”

“They said words become seeds.”

When the party was chatting in front of the dimensional hole without any sense of danger, the hole started shaking again.

“How many times do you think it will come out this time?”

“Should number 36 be in order?”

“I want a strong guy to come out.”

Argin’s last wish seemed to have worked, and a guy who seemed to be a perfect match for Argin jumped out.

“Who dares to oppose Master Utuka?”

A man with a wart-like head and six arms came out. And all six arms were holding swords.

“I will take care of this.”

A faint smile appeared on Argin’s lips as he stepped forward. I was thinking of entrusting it to Argin without having to step out like that.

“Next time. Master”

All but one. Shaq was licking his lips from behind as if it was a waste.

The mantis head and Argin immediately engaged in a sparkling swordsmanship duel as if no words were needed.

From noble mtl dot com.

The swordsmanship of the mantis head was better than expected. Moreover, the power of using the sword with six arms at the same time was amazing. Even Argin could be seen facing a crisis from time to time.

However, soon Argin began to get used to the mantis head’s swordsmanship, and the mantis head began to be pushed behind the extension.

“You are an enemy, but your swordsmanship is excellent.”

Still, the mantis head exclaimed in admiration as they fought. But there was something the mantis head overlooked. Argin hadn’t shown his skills yet.

After a while, Argyn’s sword began to blow off the arms of the mantis head one by one, like a child playing with an insect by removing its legs one by one.

The mantis head, which uses multiple swords at the same time, began to collapse in an instant when its balance was broken.

With one arm left, the mantid’s head receded quickly. Argin did not bother to pursue it.

“I completely lost. I know that you looked at me and dealt with me. Admit defeat. I will go back.”

But at that moment, the mantis head separated from the body.

“Who do you want to go back to?”

Argin muttered incredulously.

“Setas”

“yes yes”

Setas sprinted over and burned the mantid-headed corpse. It’s not because I’m annoying or I can’t use fire magic. The meta energy used by Setas contains the energy of killing God, so it is to completely erase the energy of the apostle who borrows the power of God. Setas was also voluntarily stepping out, as if he was unaware of it.

It also absorbed the mantis head’s soul. It seems that his talent for swordsmanship has increased unintentionally. And I got some more knowledge.

If I absorb all of the apostles’ souls like this, I think I’ll become quite strong. But the problem is not that.

“Are these guys weaker than I thought?”

Shaq grunted like a disgruntled child.

“Don’t worry. I haven’t even started yet.”

It’s real. With the knowledge I gained, the power of an apostle is not negligible. And I got a little bit of information about where these guys are coming from. Utuka was more terrifying than I thought.

The hole started shaking again. And this time two guys came out.

It was a monster over 30 meters tall that looked like a combination of a wild boar and a cow, and a nasty-looking old man riding it. Surprisingly, there are apostles who look like humans. Sorceus, whom Shim Mi-an said something about, was a liar.

“I will do it this time.”

Thinking that someone was about to strike, Shark quickly jumped forward. It seems that the old man did as he did.

“bouncer!!”

The old man on the monster’s back roared.

“The old man has a good voice.”

Along with that, the sword in Shaq’s hand disappeared.
