Episode 148. Our Radon has become good. (2)
Everyone has the right to respect others.
There may be several reasons.
If you are impressed by someone’s overwhelming performance and consider them a role model in life, or if they provide great help or positive influence.
Even if it is so insignificant as to be kicked in the instep, I have no right to twist it by force, whether it is to make the wrong person an object of respect.
Yes, it is absolutely outrageous to insult someone whom others respect.
This is because it is no different from not hesitating to curse your parents in front of anyone who listens.
‘But these guys are different.’
Slave replicant.
The guy has shed the blood of many people for that respect. Every time he does, there is a spitting sound.
-I am a being whose path to light is reserved for me after death. No matter what I do, the true God will forgive me.
First of all, most of the guys under Enviel, let alone Slave, are spouting out this kind of nonsense.
The only exception to this rule is the Heidern school.
Slave, this guy is just a devil who thirsts for other people’s blood under the pretext of respect.
It is language that gives hope to such people.
“Shall I tell you where Elder Enviel is now?”
What I’m trying to do now is very simple.
It just makes you face reality.
“Seo, senior… what are you talking about all of a sudden?”
The slave asked with a trembling voice, still unable to accept the current situation.
It was understandable. It would be natural for them to blindly trust me, as they recognized me as Enviel’s successor.
“And what about that fishing rod…”
The slave rolling on the floor looked up at me with longing eyes.
It was pitiful to see him struggling to bear the pain of his broken leg, but there was no need for sympathy.
“You mean this? I told you. That woman back then was me.”
“If it were that woman back then…!”
There was someone who came to Slave’s mind.
The saboteurs who appeared while the princess was being incited by using the blood-linked insects.
The group consisted of one childish-looking girl in a rabbit costume and one mature woman.
Among them, the mature woman is Senior Radon? It’s absurd at first glance.
“Senior, could you please stop joking? Now is not the time for this.”
“Do you honestly think that’s the case in this situation?”
“….”
It seemed sincere. The guy’s eyes, filled with blind faith, told me so.
From his perspective, Enviel is a god-like being. As his successor, I would be no different from an apostle of God.
They say the difference between genius and foolishness is only a sheet of paper.
No matter how great a person is, if he becomes obsessed with one idea, he will ignore subjectivity and principles.
Pseudoscience is a perfect example of this field.
Slaves are also commoners who can become leaders of the guard.
However, there is a strong tendency to struggle because they do not want to be betrayed by their faith.
That’s why they don’t even bother to judge the situation and react like, ‘God would never abandon me!’
“Is this part of a plan? Is that why you broke my leg?”
“….”
There was earnestness in the boy’s question.
I am almost tongue-tied in the face of someone begging me not to betray my trust.
Of course, that blind faith also has its limits.
“Then do you remember that woman’s voice from back then?”
“I remember it vaguely. It was an unforgettable humiliation, so it is not easily forgotten.”
At those words, the corners of my mouth raised.
And said.
“Wasn’t that the voice?”
“uh…?”
A woman’s voice came out of my mouth.
The slave who heard that sound opened his eyes wide. I raised my voice once more for the surprised guy.
“I wonder if the broken tooth is okay?”
“Wait a minute, really…”
Now that I think about it, Senior Radon spoke as if he knew everything about the situation at that time.
Beyond just watching from the front… it was as if he had actually done it.
No. It won’t. It absolutely won’t.
There’s no way Elder Enviel’s sole successor would do that. That must never happen!
A woman’s voice heard at that moment broke his thoughts.
“Oh, by the way, that’s the kid who wore the rabbit mask back then.”
I said, pointing to the fainted Nevia.
Then the slave was struck with quite a shock.
If that’s true, then Nebia had already planned to betray them from that moment on.
Senior Radon accompanied her like that, and if he is still meddling with her…
“Senior, can I ask you a few questions?”
The guy’s mouth was still trembling.
But unlike before, the earnest gaze was much deader.
It seems like you’re just starting to notice it now.
“Senior, are you really… chosen as the Elder’s successor?”
“That’s right. I inherited some of his powers.”
It’s not official, but it’s true that I gained strength, so it’s not wrong to say that.
“Then how did you meet that person and inherit it?”
“We first met at this academy. I helped him out when he was in danger.”
As expected, there was not a single wrong word. Even if I don’t know about ‘help’, I did ‘support’.
“And just a little while ago, you said you wanted to tell me where the elder is now…”
“….”
“Do you really know?”
This time I can answer truthfully again.
I am the ‘successor’ who has received all of Enviel’s skills.
Not only do I know where he is, I’ve now inherited his genes.
“Junior. I inherited everything from him. Not only the magic sign, but also all the knowledge and memories.”
I, who have inherited all of that, can be called the true ‘successor’.
And that wasn’t all he received.
“And you even inherited the body.”
“flesh…?”
A slave with a puzzled expression.
To help that guy understand, I manifested Muto.
“Look carefully.”
Muto, who moved quickly, swallowed a sparrow that was flying next to him.
Immediately I activated my newly acquired skill.
-Genetic Disguise Lv1
Then my appearance changed into that of a sparrow.
The slave was surprised to see that my appearance had changed exactly as Muto had swallowed it.
“What the heck is that…”
“As you can see, if you eat another body, you can transform into it. This is my first time using it, but it’s surprisingly easy.”
“Physical…?”
“Yeah, the body.”
The guy seemed to understand what body I was talking about.
And I activated the skill once more.
Although it consumed a lot of magic power, I was able to transform into the form I imagined.
“Then does this ‘body’ also know?”
My voice had changed. It was no longer that of a sparrow, nor that of a woman, but that of an old man.
And the physical structure changed at the cell level, becoming a completely different person.
“ah….”
The slave who saw that sight swallowed deeply.
Because it was the appearance of Elder Enviel, a being he respected so much and could be considered a god.
“Well, this is the gentleman you respect. How do you feel?”
“….”
No answer came.
All that could be heard coming from the guy’s mouth was the sound of wind.
I was so shocked that I seemed to have forgotten how to breathe.
Radon, who had just swallowed a sparrow, transformed into something exactly like the sparrow.
And this time he transformed into Elder Envyel.
It can transform into the exact same form as the being it swallowed. Slave, who understood that, only had one thought.
“Then, Elder….”
Finally, the slave’s mouth began to move. At the same time, his expression began to gradually distort.
Finally, as my fragile faith was shattered, the tower of hope built in my heart came crashing down.
“Yeah, that’s right.”
I was thrust into the flesh. What does that mean…
“I ate it.”
… there was no need to understand any more.
The moment I declared proudly, the slave’s face crumpled completely.
“Ah… ahhhh… euaaaah!”
And then a tremendous scream erupted.
It was as brutal as witnessing the gruesome corpses of my parents right before my eyes.
I could see with my own eyes how shocked the guy was.

“So, the fact that I was the elder’s successor… was all a lie?”
The slave who finally realized the truth of everything.
Now he was glaring at me with the fierce gaze of an enemy, but I answered leisurely.
“I’m not lying. I inherited that gentleman’s knowledge, memories, and body. So, doesn’t that make me the successor?”
“Don’t talk nonsense! The elder would never have permitted you!”
Moreover, it is impossible to subdue the elder with Radon’s fighting power.
It must have been a cowardly move.
And then, Markray appeared in the eyes of the slave who couldn’t figure out what was going on.
‘Everything this guy said was true…!’
I remember the advice Marclay gave: don’t trust Radon Crowler.
I remember myself beating him up, thinking it was nonsense. How shameful.
“How are you feeling, Slave? Is there anything else I can teach you?”
“…!”
I imitated that tone of speech with Enviel’s body and voice.
It was the same tone of speech he had spoken to his slave a long time ago. When he heard that, the boy’s eyes rolled back and he ran towards him.
“This fucking scammer son of a bitch!!”
Kwakjik!-
“Kuaaaah!!”
The slave formed a blade of light in his hand, but his hand was quickly cut off by the fishing rod.
The spot where the arm had been was overflowing with red water, as if a tap had burst.
Due to the mental shock, he was unable to make any delicate movements. Furthermore, due to the wound on his neck, any careless movement would result in severe bleeding.
Even if the guy was as strong as the professor, it was impossible for him to deal with me in this condition.
Moreover, the magical treatment he received has many side effects. One of them is now starting to manifest.
“I won’t… forgive you…! I will… definitely…!”
The guy’s body gradually swelled up and eventually turned into a monster.
This is a form that you’ve encountered many times in the main story. It’s the phase 2 form of the slave you encounter when playing as Angela.
Back then it was a headache with its vicious patterns, but now it has no arms or legs.
Moreover, he collapsed before he could even fight due to a bleeding from his neck.
“No… Elder…! Elder…!!”
“That’s really great. Are you still talking?”
What a tough lifeline, I said as I unwrapped my transformation.
“What are you so upset about that you’re crying so hard? The people you sent into Hell while following Enviel’s orders must have been worse than this.”
“There’s no need to worry about the lives of those who weren’t chosen… Knock knock!”
As expected, he’s a guy who doesn’t communicate well.
I gave Muto a sidelong glance, and Muto, reading my mind, pierced the guy’s upper body with his tail.
Fujik!-
“Keuhuk!”
“You like Envy that much? Then I’ll let you meet him.”
“what…?”
A black snake’s face appeared before the slave’s eyes.
The snake moved its face closer and stuck its mouth out.
“No… Stop it! I…!”
“You have been chosen to go to heaven even after death. Then it doesn’t matter if you die.”
The guy kept struggling, but he couldn’t get any stronger.
It was a level that I could have shaken off, but I just couldn’t muster the strength.
In exchange for finding out all the truth, he was silenced. The slave screamed in helplessness.
“So, have a nice time with the elder in my stomach.”
“Yes, my lady!!”
Muto swallowed the guy in one bite. And the moment he swallowed it like chewing meat, memories of the guy seeped into my head.
‘How long has it been… Ugh!’
The pain is just as bad as when you eat Envy.
But the guy’s years were shorter than Envy’s, so the suffering wasn’t long.
Thanks to that, I was able to hold out without fainting.
“Are you okay?”
“Phew… I barely made it.”
The guy’s resentment towards me was immense.
Even after eating it all, I could still feel the tremendous thought through Muto.
Of course, it becomes the source of my strength and makes me stronger.
I said with a smile as my body began to overflow with energy.
“You know, Muto.”
“why.”
“I think I’m too kind.”

『Khahahaha! That’s right, you little punk. You’re so kind that even the gods and demons will go blind the moment they see you!』
Muto rolled around laughing heartily, his belly button about to burst.
But it’s not over yet, because Marclay is still there.
I looked at the guy with my ‘eyes’ and finally found out what I was wondering about.
