#225 - Love you, so I kill you

“This pain… Ah, ah, it's wonderful! As expected, only you can give it to me. It's just too wonderful.”

Elsa's cheeks were flushed, and she looked incredibly delighted. “But it's a pity. Is it because you've overexerted yourself? The power isn't as strong as before, even though it should be hotter and more violent.”

“That's because I don't want you to get off so easily. What I like most is saying NO to people who are full of themselves.”

Zun Zun knelt on the ground, suppressing his panting and trying to calm his breathing. Of the two cherries tying up his hair, one had already wilted.

Knowing that defeating Elsa required not immense power but continuous, repeated damage, Zun Zun naturally wouldn't rashly use up all his powerful explosion skills.

If only Megumin, who only knows explosion magic, encountered Elsa, she would definitely be troubled.

No, maybe she would just blast her into ashes, making it impossible to recover.

In the end.

Zun Zun's explosion isn't orthodox explosion magic after all. It's still a far cry in terms of power.

“But don't worry, big sister. I can still use that kind of move twice.”

“Is that so? How exciting.”

The Bowel Hunter stepped on the tree trunk and pounced again like an arrow released from a bow. Zun Zun extended his left foot forward into a bow stance, and his right hand, wrapped in violent lightning, counterattacked.

Elsa crossed her black and white twin blades in front of her chest, neither dodging nor evading. With weapons possessing magic-breaking attributes, dealing with a great archmage like Zun Zun was truly a piece of cake.

But Zun Zun wouldn't let her succeed. After throwing a punch, he forcefully spun around Elsa's body. Before her black and white twin blades could stir up a bloodthirsty storm, his left arm, reaching out from below, grabbed her face.

Violent lightning erupted suddenly!

Instantly, it cut and dug open her face again.

“Ya, ah ah ah — — — —”

Even stronger and deeper than the previous attack that tore off her face, the force was enough to dig open her skull. The claw-like blades of his fingers cut open her head, and even the Bowel Hunter couldn't help but scream shrilly, her movements slowing down.

Hmph!

Zun Zun delivered a straight kick to her chest. The Bowel Hunter, like a tattered rag, was kicked away heavily, crashing into and breaking several towering trees, creating a rumbling sound.

Bones shattered, internal organs collapsed.

Adding to the impact of the lightning erosion, constantly stirring her entire body, it wouldn't be surprising if she fainted and went into shock from the pain. In fact, Zun Zun didn't think Darkness could withstand such violent torment.

But the fallen woman, although bleeding, still let out intermittent laughter.

It must be reiterated.

The Bowel Hunter is much more of a pervert than Darkness.

Her life force hadn't collapsed, her fighting spirit hadn't waned, and her nature was forever beyond saving!

Lifting up a large tree that had been broken by the battle, she unceremoniously threw it towards the Bowel Hunter's fallen position, stirring up a cloud of thick dust.

Zun Zun's panting grew heavier.

He didn't think he could defeat the Bowel Hunter with just this much damage, but if he dragged on like this…

He looked at the wound on his arm.

Those two curved blades were undoubtedly magical tools. The black curved blade should reduce stamina after causing damage, and the white one should restore stamina. Both blades have magic-breaking attributes.

“Heh heh heh — —”

A charming voice brought immense pressure. Elsa kicked away the large tree pressing on her body and slowly stood up.

Her body could withstand constant torment, but her clothes couldn't, so she was now incredibly exposed, her curvaceous figure quite alluring.

Too bad.

Compared to appearance, Zun Zun valued nature more.

“Although you don't care, but… it's about time you started feeling the strain, right? You're becoming covered in wounds, while my injuries are healing. The longer it drags on, the bigger the gap… Don't you think it's despicable?”

Elsa's body didn't have a single wound.

As long as the blood was wiped away, her fair and rosy skin would be revealed, and the gap between her and Zun Zun, who was injured, would gradually widen. It could be said that she was immortal, and it might be right to call her despicable for this.

Zun Zun had already been complaining inwardly.

“However, you're not unkillable, are you?”

“Heh heh heh…”

“I won't say stupid things like, 'If you obediently retreat, I might spare your lives.' Rather, it seems like I'm at a disadvantage now, so… even if I die, I will definitely kill you!”

So hot!

So hot, so hot, so hot!

Zun Zun only felt his head was so hot, especially his eyes were burning hot. He seemed to understand what it meant to have his blood boiling, and it was in a physical sense.

The spirit of the Crimson Demons was guiding him, the courage to never back down when encountering the strong, and the determination to leave a strong mark on the world even if he died.

“— I'm going!”

“Ah ah… How beautiful…”

Elsa looked at his eyes with fascination, just like a girl intoxicated in love.

Zun Zun stepped on the ground, and the place he stepped on exploded. The powerful reaction force made him pounce straight towards Elsa. The black and white twin blades greeted him with a vertical slash, the power of the strike splitting the forest in two.

He didn't have time to dodge and was cut with a shallow wound by the sharp blade. Even if he spat blood, he didn't care and continued to advance.

He swung his fist violently, punching towards her face, but she dodged. Then, black and white colors lit up, he dodged sideways, and the counterattack came again. He defended, then counterattacked. An intense offensive and defensive battle that made people unable to blink unfolded in the uninhabited forest.

Zun Zun had already concentrated all his strength, but Elsa's eyes were wandering, as if she was recalling something, and she didn't care even if the damage to her body was aggravated by Zun Zun's violent beating.

She spoke softly.

“I was born in the northern country of Gustik, a very cold land.”

It was the Bowel Hunter's past.

To put it bluntly, Zun Zun probably knew her past in more detail than Elsa herself, so there was no need to listen at all. With his consciousness focused, he couldn't afford to slack off. He didn't have the Bowel Hunter's infinitely recovering body.

But the voice just slipped into his ears in an annoying way.

“In a country with a severe gap between rich and poor, it's not uncommon for poor people to abandon their children. I was one of them. I didn't have parents since I was sensible, and I survived by sucking mud.”

“Ora ora ora!”

Zun Zun's fists were like Thor's hammer, constantly chiseling at Elsa's weak body, trying to break through her defense of recovery.

The ultimate violence made Elsa tremble all over.

But her words didn't stop.

“Stealing, robbing, kidnapping, and getting hurt were commonplace. Every day I lived this kind of life, I didn't know why I was living, and I didn't know what happiness was. Because I didn't have time to think about those things at all.”

Elsa's movements became more gentle and smooth as she spoke.

He couldn't feel any killing intent at all, which made Zun Zun quite uncomfortable. The sharp-angled curved blades were almost impossible to defend against, and before long, his arms, chest, abdomen, and waist were covered with wounds of various sizes.

“That day, the weather was especially cold.”

“Big sister, are you still planning to continue?”

Zun Zun grabbed Elsa's mouth without any politeness. He hated opponents reminiscing during battle. After all, the 《Crimson Demon Clan Battle Rules》 clearly stated that opponents must not be allowed to reminisce, otherwise, there was a high probability of being counter-killed.

Elsa dodged backward. He shouldn't have been able to touch her, but Zun Zun was willing to suffer the slash of the twin blades to close the distance.

He blew up her head again.

“I'll tell you what happened next.”

“… Hmm?”

Elsa's recovered cheeks were smooth and new, and a confused expression appeared.

“You were caught by the shopkeeper for stealing, and before you were raped, you broke open the other party's stomach with a piece of broken glass. The blood and internal organs warmed you, and from then on you became obsessed with intestines.”

— Those are my words!

Elsa wouldn't be surprised to say that, but she didn't. Instead, she trembled all over, looking at him with anticipation.

“That's right, that's how it is! If there is happiness in this world, then that temperature that makes me forget the cold is it. I, who had nothing since I was born, got happiness for the first time. You can't understand, right?”

“Yeah, I can't empathize at all. After all, I was born into happiness and prosperity, I don't have to worry about livelihood, and I also get the love of my family. Whether it's the past life or the last life, or this life, it's the same.”

“… How envious.”

Zun Zun's words made Elsa slightly silent.

At this time, there was no such thing as 'the pitiful must have hateful aspects, and the hateful must have sad hardships'. He only had the determination to kill the other party.

“Ah ah, that's it…”

Elsa's cheeks were slightly flushed, and she looked at Zun Zun's red eyes full of killing intent with fascination, squinting her eyes lewdly and staring at him.

“I seem to have fallen in love with you.”

“I'm sorry, big sister, you're a good person, but we're not suitable. And I have a fiancée.”

Zun Zun said this without any hesitation.

Elsa blinked her eyes.

“A good person, me?”

“… Sorry, that's just polite talk.”

Zun Zun took a deep breath.

He already had enough crazy women around him, and he really couldn't stand adding another one.

“Besides, big sister, you haven't told me the truth, have you?” Zun Zun looked at her and slowly spat out a series of names: “Storia, Ornia, Celia, Hildia, Dorothea…”

Clearly, they were just unimportant, out-of-place, strange names.

But Elsa fell silent.

“Although the wanted notice issued by the kingdom says that big sister is rumored to be a vampire, and you later acquiesced to this false information, but in fact, your real identity… is a cursed doll, right? Although you might find it disgusting to say that, I actually understand you better than you understand yourself.”

“… How wonderful, someone can understand my distant past so deeply.”

What he didn't expect was that the Bowel Hunter wasn't annoyed by having her past exposed, but looked at him with even more excitement. Her breath carried the heat of spring, and her moist eyes were filled with endless passion.

“Because I'm a diviner.”

“A diviner?”

“That's right! Explore the past, divine the future!”

Zun Zun, facing Elsa's puzzled confusion, said loudly, “Bowel Hunter, Elsa Granhiert! In the name of the younger brother of the strongest diviner of the Crimson Demons, I sentence you to death… here!”
