Chapter 153

"Don't be like that, I'll share half of the magazine I just bought with you."

Natsuki Subaru smiled and pulled several thick photo albums out of a white bag.

Kazuma had originally been dismissive, but after a glance, he froze instantly, then widened his eyes and snatched them away in shock.

"This is..."

Kazuma flipped through a few pages, his breathing quickening, and he let out a lecherous, weird laugh, "I didn't expect you to have such good taste, you actually have the teacher's swimsuit collection."

"Of course!"

Natsuki Subaru's lips curled up, overflowing with a pride that dared to be the first in the world. Suddenly, his expression changed as he looked toward a dark alley not far away, "Kazuma, did you hear some strange noises?"

"Seems like it, probably a stray dog eating something, right?"

Kazuma scratched his head.

From the alley Natsuki Subaru was looking at, a rustling sound could be heard.

He became interested, hooked his arm around his good brother's shoulder, walked over swaggeringly, and with a smug smile, extended his finger and made a strange sound toward the alley: "Tsk tsk tsk, come here, cute little dog."

"Tsk tsk... eh, something seems wrong?"

Kazuma shivered, feeling strange. It was just the beginning of autumn, so it shouldn't be cold, so why did a chill rise out of nowhere, making his hands and feet tremble?

The next instant, he glanced into the depths of the alley and spotted something unusual with his sharp eyes: a massive shadow seemed to be shaking hundreds of disgusting tentacles, dark water stains were flowing on the ground, and a human figure was lying inside.

What the hell?!

Kazuma's face froze instantly. What the hell is this?

"Kazuma?"

Seeing his friend's abnormality, Natsuki Subaru called out strangely, then followed Kazuma's gaze. His head exploded, his whole body trembled, and a chill rushed straight up his spine to his crown.

Are these the monsters that suddenly visited Chiba, the ones Luo mentioned?

Fear, bone-chilling fear invaded his whole body, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

The two looked at each other, both sensing the trembling of the other's shoulders, their legs shaking in terror.

In an instant, the air exploded, and a bloody, disgusting black arm reached out from the alley, extending infinitely like a tentacle, bringing with it a harsh sound like a train whistle.

It was incredibly fast, flying over forty-five meters with a surging, violent momentum to attack.

It was like an incredible giant hand, wanting to grab the two of them as a snack.

"Run!"

Natsuki Subaru shouted in panic, but in an instant, Kazuma's figure rushed in like an arrow. The wind from his passing brushed Natsuki Subaru's cheek. Seeing his good brother grit his teeth and rush forward, Subaru was stunned.

Is this still the Kazuma who usually slacked off and shouted, "I am an absolute egalitarian who can use a flying kick on a girl's face"?

Facing this threat of death, he actually rushed up directly.

Damn it!

"What a joke, how can I let you be the hero alone!"

Natsuki Subaru suppressed his fear, opened his eyes wide, and roared as he rushed up.

And then...

"Rumble...!!"

That infinitely extending black long arm scattered, turning into countless tiny black hands, about the size of an ordinary adult human arm, and then a violent storm of blows rained down, instantly bombarding the youth's entire body.

Natsuki Subaru was blown away, his face twisted in pain, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

No...

He couldn't let Kazuma fight alone. He gritted his teeth and climbed up from the ground.

But looking up, the scene before him left Natsuki Subaru somewhat bewildered. His familiar partner, agile as a cat, was constantly slashing with a knife at a demon that stood as tall as a high-rise building and had hundreds of winding hands.

The Hand Demon roared in anger, the air trembled violently, and the harsh sound exceeded a hundred decibels.

Yet it couldn't stop Kazuma from constantly stabbing its eyes and poking its rear.

Drops of foul-smelling demon blood splattered across the sky. The Hand Demon screamed in pain, angrily waving its hundreds of arms, intending to crush Kazuma, who was speeding across its massive body, but after countless roars...

It was meaningless; every arm that fell brushed past Kazuma.

Like an elephant being teased by a mouse crawling into its nose, it was in a state of impotent rage.

Soon, Natsuki Subaru discovered the reason.

Despite running at extreme speed, blue circuit fibers were flashing on Kazuma's hands and feet.

Reinforcement Magecraft?

Has Kazuma already learned Reinforcement Magecraft?

Subaru felt extremely complicated, a sense of inferiority welling up.

Fortunately, his nature was good, and he quickly shook it off.

However, the Hand Demon, finding it couldn't do anything to Kazuma for a moment, suddenly revealed a sinister smile.

While Kazuma continued to poke its rear, a tiny black arm behind it extended infinitely, opening its fangs like a flexible poisonous snake, and slammed toward Natsuki Subaru's position, too fast to react.

Natsuki Subaru's pupils shrank, and he turned to run.

Pfft—.

A black arm pierced his chest and was pulled out, blood trickling onto the ground.

"Subaru!"

Kazuma, who was nimbly dodging, taking the opportunity to poke eyes and pull ears, was startled, his angry heart burning.

But in the moment of distraction, the Hand Demon sneered, and hundreds of black arms merged to form a giant hand covering the sky with muscle fibers, slamming down hard, tearing the surrounding air to form a strong airflow!

Boom!

The tiny Kazuma was punched away, crashing into the wall to form a deep crater, rocks flying. He was fixed there like a painting, baring his teeth in anger, spitting blood, his aura rapidly weakening.

Even with Reinforcement Magecraft to increase physical strength, he couldn't withstand this blow.

If he had the level of Luo from the initial celestial screen, strengthening his body to the level of a demi-servant would also work.

No need to poke the enemy's rear or stab its ears.

A single slash would probably chop this monster into thousands of pieces of meat.

"Damn it, still too weak."

Kazuma gritted his teeth, fell from the crater, and glanced at his good brother lying on the ground nearby.

For the first time, he regretted his impulsiveness.

Always wanting to show off and prove himself, he had actually caused his only friend to be seriously injured.

"Oh, are you the Masters mentioned in that light screen in the sky?"

The demon, nearly a story tall and possessing a hundred hands, grabbed Natsuki Subaru and grinned, "You're really weak. Lord Muzan is still too cautious."

"However, the taste must be different from ordinary humans."

The demon sneered, its bloody mouth opening, layers of fangs blooming like a chrysanthemum, about to throw the struggling girl into its mouth, saliva dripping like drool, mixed with a foul stench.

Am I going to die?

Natsuki Subaru closed his eyes with regret, having thought he would have a wonderful adventure life like a light novel protagonist.

As a result...

"Eat my Kazuma flying kick to the face!"

A shout.

The Hand Demon panicked, subconsciously letting go of the little person in its hand, gathering its hundred hands to block its head, but its face suddenly flushed red.

"Hahaha, idiot, you believe whatever Lord Kazuma says!"

Kazuma laughed wildly, his whole body lighting up with blue circuits, blood flowing from his nose and mouth, teleporting behind the Hand Demon. Clearly in an overdraft state, he forcefully shoved a thigh-thick steel instrument into the Hand Demon's back door, a full meter deep.

"—Awoo!!!"

The Hand Demon twitched in pain, its whole body arching, and a miserable howl echoed through the sky.

Even if it's a demon, it still has pain!

Having its rear forcefully penetrated by a giant object, who could handle that!

"Can't hold on, Subaru, hurry, give me an amplification magecraft!"

Kazuma gritted his teeth, blood flowing from his nose and mouth, shouting, constantly stirring the thigh-thick steel instrument inserted into the Hand Demon's rear, demon blood splattering, intending to make the Hand Demon spasm.

Natsuki Subaru, who had fallen to the ground, twitched in pain. Hearing this, he muttered somewhat humbly: "I... I can't, I don't know amplification magecraft at all."

"Subaru, you can do it, believe in yourself, I'm entrusting my life to you!"

Kazuma roared. The Hand Demon had already gone berserk, furiously bombarding the Reverse Reverse Side of him with its arms, making bursts of explosions.

"You dog, die!"

Kazuma gritted his teeth, avoided the black hands slapping down one by one, raised his right foot high, and kicked hard at the steel instrument, kicking another half meter of the steel equipment into it.
