Chapter 72: VS Mammon - Desperation

Fortress Town Dominique.

That's where Mammon is.

And I go there on a wyvern.

Strangely, perhaps it's the curse of the black dragon, but the Wyvern seem to like me.

However, in return... the dragon's spirit flows into me, and I can't hunt it anymore.

Calling it a wyvern was a bit funny, so I decided to call the one that carried me "Wagyan". The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.

I was thinking of calling it Gallus (ギャルス), but this one is prettier.

It's so cute when it gets attached to me that it makes the Wyvern seem like a dog or a cat.

And thanks to Wyvern, I arrived at Dominique's in less than half a day.

I thought a sneak attack from the sky wouldn't get Mammon's attention.

But no.

"There he is... the last of the Hero (Yuusha) party, Ceres the Hero (Eiyuu)... you looks pretty strong. And I’m Mammon."

This is a fight to the death.

Then I don't need to identify myself.

I quickly pull a single-shot rifle out of my bag and fire at Mammon.

I aimed at the eye... with a bullet that I requested from the Pope.

This bullet is the only silver bullet that the Pope himself has ever purified, and I'm sure it'll blind him.

"Oh, a 'Holy Silver Bullet'... was that your idea?"

Wait... Why did I think this would work on Mammon...? Who was just meditating?

How could this bullet be stopped by a mere eyelid?

"Ah, yes."

"You remind me of a man 800 years ago who shot at me the same way without saying his name... That was the first time someone could have blinded me... but it doesn't work twice."

"Ceres... run."

"""Ceres, run away!"""

When I heard and saw Zect and the others, they were worse than I thought... their limbs were amputated... and Mammon dared to keep them alive with such a crude treatment. With that limb, they will probably never move again.

"Mammon, you're a strong man... you could have killed those people... but why did you have to go to such lengths...?"

"What are you talking about? Humans slaughter goblins, kill orcs and ogres... isn't it the same? I kill because I hate humans... that's all."

If the situation becomes like this, I have to take a chance.

I need an opening.

"Well... then I'm going to have to do it."

"You have something else...? Alright, I'll take it. Come on."

It's now or never...

I had one more trick up my sleeve.

It was a 'hallucinogenic drug,' and I was putting it to the wind.

After all, some of the female demons in this world like hallucinogenic drugs.

I had thought this trick will works... So, let's see it.

"Let's go!"

I ran forward, picked up the hammer with my left hand, and struck again.

"It won't work, it won't work, it won't work...! My body can't be cut even by mithril!"

I know, no matter how hard I hit him, it's impossible... but if I stop, it's the end.

"Haah, haah."

"Is it over? Then I'm coming for you..."

In an instant, my left hand was ripped off.

Now I've lost both my hands.

"Skywalk..."

I tried to escape into the air, but...

"Here I come!"

In a second, Mammon jumped up and slammed me to the ground.

'He's strong.'

I think some of my ribs were broken.

My legs are still intact... but I can't attack him with these.

Even if I kick with a mithril prosthesis, it's no use. So, I can't do it with my flesh leg.

It's practically over.

"You're strong..."

"Of course, I'm Mammon, after all... now die!"

It's over...

But thinking it again, it's weird that I'm still alive.

"Gwaaaaaaa..."

Are you kidding me...? Wagyan... this wyvern becomes my shield.

"You're a wyvern, and you're standing in my way!?"

"Wagyan... you protected me..."

Really, I can't protect my childhood friend, and I can't win.

But... this Wyvern died as my shield.

Then I won't give up until the end.

I'll give him at least one blow... and make Mammon regret it.
