How a Former Pro Takes Advantage by Doing an Easy Job

Episode 620. If you can't push it, break it. (4)

“Correct. It is an illusion. well decorated very? Sophisticated? Oh, but it won't be difficult to tell them apart. Because I made it obvious and blatantly.

Whoop whoop.”

Isn't he even bragging that it is an illusion without substance?

What are you going to do?

Unable to comprehend her eccentricity, Shen remained vigilant and looked around.

It's not a sewage that's small enough to do meaningless things.

“The body… … Is it over there?”

The main body is hidden behind debris drifting 70 degrees to the left by his standards.

However, even when I found it, something was wrong.

It's like he has no intention of hiding.

“… … I don't know.”

Shen, without hesitation, decided to attack first.

It ran through the air at once and rushed to the spot where Rumelsitasa's main body was hiding.

Rumelsitasa's hallucinations block him as he runs.

Each comes with a sword, a spear, and all kinds of blades.

But what does illusion mean?

Shen ignored it and accelerated.

Just in case, I secretly kicked the seawater and scattered the water droplets around.

Each drop of water surrounds his spirit and becomes a hard bullet that pierces through the illusion.

There are no hidden objects.

Shen confirmed it and charged towards the virtual image.

Illusions attack, but he ignores them.

There is nothing in that.

You just have to pay attention to it.

The most basic response to hallucinations is ignoring them.

No matter how real it is, if you don't even pay attention to it, no matter how realistic it is.

“What?! what is that now?”

However, Shen soon felt the sensation of being hit by the attack from the virtual image, and hurriedly retreated.

I felt a sharp pain.

“It must be an illusion?!”

I would have been sure and ignored it, but the moment the blade of the clone wielded it brushed by, I felt the actual cut.

Shen hurriedly checked the cut.

however… … .

“… … Are there any wounds?”

The cut area was clean.

As if the sensation I felt a moment ago was an illusion.

“Don’t worry, I didn’t get cut. It's just an illusion that misleads your senses.”

Rumelsitasa poked her head out in a funny way and explained.

“Everything is an illusion. It's just an error caused by the brain and the body due to a high degree of illusion. Whoop whoop whoop.”

If you make them believe that they were really cut at the moment they are cut, they will create pain that was not there.

“You use it often for hypnosis, don’t you? You can think of it as an application of it. Do you have something similar in your major?”

“I can’t be mistaken for low-level hallucinations when I come now… …

“Because I made it. And it's an illusion that was completed by verifying against Herearl. There's no way it wouldn't work even if you were my opponent, right?”

“Ah, then you thought you could just ignore the pain or whatever and rush in, right?

hmm… … What is it? then?.”

At that time, Rumelsitasa's presence disappeared.

“Ignore it if you want to ignore it. At that time, I will kindly pierce your heart. Of course, the real me.”

Voices from all directions.

This time, even Shen can't be located.

Exposing the location a while ago was intentionally revealing loopholes to look down on purpose.

“why? What do you not like? Do you think it is a coward? Sorry. I'm not friendly with being fair.”

“I don’t really have any complaints about that.”

I understand that you fight to the best of your ability.

Shen frowned for another reason.

“I just don’t understand why Soje has that level of ability and listens to a man like that.”

Oh that?”

Rumelsitasa responded surprisingly calmly.

“Nothing. Huh? If I had to say it, would you say that it was no longer bothersome to be understood by someone?”

I didn't expect something grandiose, but the reason Rumelsita gave was really difficult to understand.

Are you tired of being understood?

“Humans can't accept us.

I also tried to fit in once. Even if you look like this, your sociability is amazing.”

“That's an incredible joke.”

“Really? Well, to put it simply, if the world is full of people like us, there's nothing to do but understand each other, right? Because that would be the natural world. If that's the reason, that's the reason. okay?”

“… … I don't know.”

I don't even want to know

“I guess so… … So did you know where I was while I was asking that?”

.... hmm.

There is nothing to answer.

I also couldn't find it.

‘It's usually better to avoid it in this case.'

The thing is, like it or not, Shen has no choice but to counter her tricks.

More than anything… … .

That's not the only thing to be concerned about.

Screams were heard all around.

Neither Shen's nor Rumelsita's.

“Aaaaaaagh!”

“What is this bitch!

“It's not even beige, so what the heck!”

The virtual images are indiscriminately attacking not only Shen, but also the soldiers.

The soldiers reflexively attack the virtual image, but of course the attack cannot work.

They pass through their attacks in vain, and instead, the attacks of illusions also pass them in vain.

However, it is the soldiers who complain of pain and collapse.

“Kyahahahahahaha! Unlike your brother, I don't know what will happen to those who have low tolerance? huh? don't you know

ah? I might die of pain Are you sorry if I die?”

Loumelsitasa's laughter resonates in all directions.

As she said, even if they know that they are hallucinations, they cannot be sure what will happen if they are attacked.

“And one more.”

When Rumelsita signaled, the enemy's airships, which had just come within range, began firing all at once.

The hallucinations are annoying, plus the bombardment from above.

“this??????

“It was a mistake. If you want to fight me, you should have brought someone else. Either the boy from the south steps in instead.”

It is a mistake to try to reduce the burden on others.

Rumelsitasa pointed out with a sneer.

In any case, Shen, who specializes in martial arts, is not a good match to fight her directly.

Even more so, since he is not in perfect physical condition, he will not be able to properly use large herbivores.

“Then I must hurry up and see the end.”

Shen calmed down and started moving after Rumelsitasa's body.

In the center of the city -

in the underground workshop where the device is located, Harial was checking the current operation status of the device.

No problem.

The magic formula was well-organized, and even now it is absorbing enormous power from the leyline and converting it.

“A mistake… … Is there any?”

Harial obsessively checked the condition of the device to the point where he didn't even know how many times it had already happened.

Formula 0K.

Status of device 0K.

You can continue on like this.

It is difficult if there are any mistakes that will remain even as dust.

It is like a castle carefully built over a thousand years.

So, it is only natural that he develops some degree of attachment even at the age when he is likely to be indifferent to everything.

“… … Is it an obsession?”

Hariel giggled, talking to himself about what was funny.

All humans as reincarnated... … And it circulates forever and makes us enjoy eternal prosperity.

It was when he was enjoying the life before now that he remembered the plan.

Well, the time I lived at that time wasn't very long.

At most, it was only about 30 years or so.

However, the reason why he announced the end of his 99th life at that time was a little different from his last life.

He was just disappointed.

“… … The world today means nothing to us.”

Harial was looking for meaning.

As a reincarnated person, even before he opened his eyes to his fate, he had a vague sense of incongruity.

first life.

From then on, he felt a peculiar strangeness about everything.

“Why do other humans only become this?”

He was always praised by those around him as superior.

There was nothing he couldn't understand.

Overturning several theories put forward by other so-called geniuses.

And while receiving praise from those around him, he felt rather displeased.

Why can't others even do this?

Of course, I don't mean to blame them.

He was aware that it was because he was superior to others.

Born in a more affluent environment and with excellent bloodlines.

Of course, even if he hadn't been a genius, he would have lived a life well above the average of other human beings.

It makes no sense to condemn others.

That is why, in his first lifetime, he quietly contributed and ended his life as an excellent human being, receiving the envy of other human beings.

Ironically, he did not end his life at the end of his life span.

Death due to an accident caused by someone who envied him.

It was really ridiculous.

In fact, there were no complaints.

I think that life is meaningful in its own way.

At least thanks to his dedication, humans will develop further.

No matter what, there is meaning to life.

There was no lie in that thought at the time.

At least it was then.

But after the first life.

new body. name. And when he opened his eyes in a world given the environment, his thoughts were bound to be shaken.

No matter how excellent a person he is, his life as a reincarnated person was unconventional for him to accept.

It was when he was about 40 years old that he began to form his own thoughts.

The reason I thought about it again was because of the questions I had every time I went through my life.

“Why don't humans change?

Why are they so stupid'?”

No matter which world they were born in or what circumstances they live in, they do not change in a big way.

How is it even here now?

Although they encouraged it, humans are swayed by their stupidity without even having the courage to find out the truth.

It was nothing like another world.

Whether it was a world before civilization was born or a world that had already reached the pinnacle of science, everything was the same.

Why the hell are they not developing?

And one more question.

“What is the meaning of it that we have to live with such and such people?”

It is a question that arose after learning that there are reincarnated people including himself.

I continued to struggle and tried to find the answer.

First of all, the cause of human stupidity was explored.

“Is it because life is too short to develop?”

Is it because life is short, so it ends before it evolves?

It wasn't.

The human they refer to is all creatures living in that world.

Of course, there were also races with far longer lifespans.

But there was nothing different about them.

It was just as stupid.

“On the contrary, a long lifespan only leads to insensitivity and indolence.”

There is nothing difficult to explain.

It's called boring.

If so, life won't solve it.

Recklessly extending lifespan actually hinders development.

At the conclusion of a total impasse, Harial turned her eyes to the existence that was her blind spot.

Reincarnated people just like you.

Several times in my life, I have encountered people in the same position as myself.

What were they really like?

They weren't perfect either, but they were somewhat better than the other humans.

what causes it?

In terms of lifespan, they have lived far beyond other races?

“… … We have seen many cases over and over again in life, and we are the ones who use it as the source of our strength and development.

More than anything… … Since the form of life changes every time, it is less likely that the senses become dull. You can experience both success and failure there. … Right!

That's what it was!”

Harial realized only then and burst into madness.

Isn't the role model of a perfected human that he so longed for is himself?

Reincarnated people are the answer.

The saying “it is dark under the lamp” fits perfectly.
