I'm Actually Not Overpowered!-Chapter 117 Hold On! This Is Unexpected!

I mean, I could see five seconds into the future, but that was my limit.

As for the rest of the other amazing imaginations I painted in their heads, they were all bogus. I had very limited ammunition, so I had to make them count.

'Ah, crud... the Levitation Spell has practically worn out already!' I felt myself slowly descend in my majestic state.

To others, they must have thought I was descending—most likely to show the Demons my wrath.

If only that were truly the case.

"ROOOOOOAAAAAARRRRRRR" A sudden cluster of demonic echoes woke me from my conflicting thoughts.

"Eh?"

I saw the entire Demon Army let out roars of passion.

'Oh no. Don't tell me—!!!' My eyes bulged as their expressions came into view.

The Demons were not backing down. No, it was the opposite! They resumed their march, increasing their pace as they made for Dulum.

Worst of all, I could sense a very strong surge of Miasma bursting from each cardinal location.

'This is bad! This is bad! My actions had the opposite effect on them!'

When confronted with an impossible challenge, every being had two instinctual directive.

One would be to give up and retreat—out of perhaps fear or reasoning. However, the second alternative was far steeper, and very few chose it.

—Obstinance!

'They're choosing to stubbornly proceed. Damn, the influence of their superiors must be high!'

Just like I was obstinately trying to save this City by protecting it, my enemies were also trying their hardest to destroy it.

'I can't break their will like this. I have to—'

>WWWUUUUMMMM<

Before I realized it, a dark warbling tune played around me, and deep purple energy manifested in my surroundings.

'U-uh?!'

As the distortion became clearer, I felt everything grow fainter, and it was like the purple energy around was swallowing me whole.

'I-it's all blurry! What's going on? I can't... I can't breathe!'

As I tried to resist the spatial collapse around me, my sight spotted blurry images of the people who were looking up to me.

I couldn't see their hopeful faces, and their voices sounded distant at this point.

'W-what is...?'

>VWUUUUUMMMMM!!!<

The swirling energy encompassed my confused self and sucked my body into it, causing me to vanish from the height where I was.

Everything happened so fast, and the power was too overwhelming to resist.

In the end, I lost to the darkness.

************

"W-what just happened?"

Zabdel was too stunned to reason properly, so it took him a fee moments to muster those words.

Everyone was equally as surprised as he was—some displaying their stupified expressions without filter.

The Hero, who had dealt a deadly first blow on the enemies was suddenly shrouded in dark energy which warped the space around him.

Before anyone could say or do anything, he vanished in the purple mist.

"I-I don't know. Did they take him away? Did they seal him off?"

Many questions arose from the audience, but Zabdel was still trying to wrap his head around logic. He had to explain the occurrence somehow. 𝐟𝚛e𝐞𝙬𝗲𝒃𝓷𝒐𝘃e𝒍.c𝑜m

'It looked like Spatial Magic. Did they really transport him from this place?' A cold sweat broke on the Vice Guildmaster's face.If that was indeed true, and the Hero was no longer closeby, it could only mean one awful truth.

'W-we're damned.'

Without the Hero, they were as good as ruined!

[The North Demon Company]

"Hehe. Looks like Adu was able to use his Spatial Magic on him." An excited laugh leaked out.

It sounded burly, like that of an overstuffed drum.

The Demon who spoke was light blue in complexion, having a very round-like figure. His very robust physique, coupled with his 7-meter height, made him a massive creature in the eyes of all that beheld him.

"I'm surprised. I didn't think it would work, but it did." A Demon beside him commented.

His Lion-like face and hefty physique made him appear menacing. Though he was quite tall, since he was beside him, the Demon called Hogun looked diminished.

"Maybe Adu was right. Perhaps you overestimated his capabilities?" The round Demon commented with a cheery face.

"Do you really believe that? Especially after seeing what he did just now?"

Hogun's reply caught the fatso off guard. He recoiled from the afterthought, and a bead of sweat came falling.

"Then why did he get captured by the Spatial Displacement Spell? Do you think he allowed it?"

Hogun looked at his partner with an equally worried expression. Even he wasn't certain of the Legendary Dragon Slayer's motive.

"I'm not sure, Shuuma. However, we can't disobey the Leader's commands. Let's hope Adu can hold him off for some time, so we can complete the mission."

Hogun, Shuuma, and Adu, were the Demon Generals assigned to the North Gate. The plan was to use the latter's Spatial Magic to remove the Legendary Dragon Slayer from the battlefield.

Once he was out of the picture, victory was assured.

The others were all for the plan, since Shuuma was a tricky opponent to deal with, and was the best candidate for stalling anyone for time.

Only Hogun had a different opinion. Even now, when the plan succeeded, he couldn't shake off his unease.

"Something doesn't feel right. Doesn't this seem too easy?"

"Let's not think too much and do as the leader says." Shuuma murmured with his bloated tune.

"True. To be safe, let's get this over with quickly."

"What? Really? I want to torture some humans a bit, though. If I can eat them alive while using my Healing Magic to resort their body parts and devouring them even more... ah, that would be entertaining!" The fat and blue Demon was drooling at this point.

Hogun remained unfazed, despite everything his partner said.

He was used to these kinds of talks, and while he didn't personally care for any of the things that colleagues like Shuuma delighted in, Hogun didn't fault or judge them for their indulgence.

'To every being their lot.' His eyes narrowed as he watched the Human settlement.

Every single person and building there would be destroyed before long. That in itself was absolute!

'As long as I fulfil his desires, that's all I need.'
