Chapter 106: Thirty-Six Strategies
ㅤSomehow recovering from my mental shutdown, I made a decision in an instant.

ㅤ”Alright, let’s escape.”

ㅤ”E-Escape? But how!?”

ㅤ”Using this.”

ㅤI took out a certain drop item from the Abyss Worm’s Infinite Stomach.

ㅤAbout the size of a person’s hug and quite heavy, it was a contraption with a stone crank protruding from the side of a stone box.

ㅤ――Golem’s Power Core.
ㅤA rare drop from Stone Golems on Very Hard difficulty.
ㅤI obtained it in Loft’s dungeon and stored it in the Infinite Stomach.

ㅤ(People in this world might not know what it is……)

ㅤBut any Earthling would recognize it at a glance.
ㅤThis is a type of motor.
ㅤSince it also comes with a power source, it might be more accurate to call it an engine-motor hybrid.
ㅤAs something that moves the heavy Stone Golems, it possesses considerable power.

ㅤI placed the Golem’s Power Core at the stern of the small boat and tied the crank and oars together with some rope I found.
ㅤThe oars were passed through a metal ring at the stern, so that when rowed, they would act like a screw.

ㅤ”Move!”

ㅤI poured magical power into the Power Core.

ㅤI was anxious because it was a spur-of-the-moment idea, but the power was successfully transmitted to the oars, and the boat began to move forward.

ㅤHowever,

ㅤ”W-We’re being caught!”

ㅤAlmirash-san screamed.

ㅤWhile the Power Core was faster than rowing by hand, it was slower than the swimming speed of large monsters that made the sea their home.

ㅤ”Wind, carry me lightly!”

ㅤI chanted the levitation spell.

ㅤBut I didn’t cast it on myself.

ㅤ”Whoa, we suddenly sped up!”

ㅤAlmirash-san exclaimed as the boat gained speed with a sudden jolt.

ㅤI cast the levitation spell on the boat, reducing gravity while simultaneously generating a strong wind from the stern.
ㅤI left some of the boat’s weight intact as it would be dangerous to make it completely float.

ㅤThe boat sped across the surface of the sea at considerable speed.

ㅤ――Groooaaaan!

ㅤ――Ugaaaaoooh!

ㅤLeft behind by the boat, the Kraken and Oceanus let out frustrated cries.





ㅤ”…I think we’ve managed to shake them off for now.”

ㅤI slowed the boat down and muttered while shielding my eyes with my hand to look back.

ㅤ”Yes, they’ve lost sight of us.”

ㅤPerhaps out of relief, Almirash-san let slip a rather dangerous remark.

ㅤ”They’ve lost sight of us, huh?”

ㅤ”Ah.”

ㅤAlmirash-san covered her mouth with her hand.

ㅤ”Well, it’s fine as long as the Kraken and Oceanus have given up. Is there a chance they might go after the galley?”

ㅤ”I… don’t think so.”

ㅤ”Then that’s good.”

ㅤI released the levitation spell on the boat, leaving the Golem’s Power Core to handle the steering, and sat down on the boat’s seat.

ㅤ”…Um, aren’t you going to ask?”

ㅤAlmirash-san asked, sounding restless.

ㅤ”You want me to ask?”

ㅤ”Well, yes… Since things have come to this. It’s not right to be saved and not explain my circumstances.”

ㅤ”I don’t really mind, you know. But if I ask, it’s definitely going to become a big deal.”

ㅤ”Why… do you think so?”

ㅤI stared intently into Almirash’s eyes.

ㅤBeautiful, light blue eyes, the same color as her hair.
ㅤShe said her face resembled mine, but I think the different hair and eye color alone create quite a different impression.

ㅤAnd what stands out even more are the spiral horns above both her ears.

ㅤIf I were to use an Earthly analogy, they’re the kind that often grow on devils and succubi.
ㅤWell, I (don’t think) devils or succubi exist on Earth, though.

ㅤLooking at those horns, I can’t help but make the association.

ㅤ(Well, even before that, I knew the moment I saw her, but…)

ㅤHer body is――composed of Ether.

ㅤNormal humans also have Ether circulating within their bodies, but that’s just Ether flowing within a physical body.

ㅤShe’s different.
ㅤShe doesn’t have a physical body.
ㅤOr rather, her body is made of Ether.

ㅤEther, the energy of the Netherworld, doesn’t have a physical form, but like my Ether Shot, concentrated Ether can affect the real world.

ㅤIn other words, she is――


ㅤ”A Demon, right?”


ㅤAlmirash-san flinched at my words.
