Chapter 92 - Trespassing
An EX-rank transcendent.
And to enter the domain of a big shot among big shots who’s been famous for a long time, I sought out another EX-rank superhuman, and true to the immeasurable nature of EX-rank, the answer was quite outrageous.
We’re just going to barge into the Great Khan’s domain without any notice or warning??
My head was filled with thoughts of whether this was right, but the biggest problem was that even if I asked if there was a better way, I couldn’t think of anything else with my brain.
Then naturally, it was right to adopt Wei Zhiying’s method, which was the only and best method.
Like that… Wei Zhiying’s method, which seemed questionable, was finally adopted after a moment’s consideration, and we who had already made all preparations set out immediately for the Great Khan’s domain.
“By the way, Zhiying, how are we going to get there?”
Well, putting aside the barging in, how are we going to travel there? Are we taking a plane?
“To put it simply, we’ll fly through the sky, teacher.”
“You mean we’re taking a plane?”
“Fufu, you’ll see when we get there.”
And a moment later, I understood what Dokma meant.
Green sand spread out crazily from Dokma’s body as we went outside, filling the sky, and then formed the shape of a huge ship floating in the sky, sending down a path towards us.
“Even for trespassing, we can’t easily go to the domain of a big shot like the Great Khan. So a plane is out of the question. They say planes are quite sturdy these days, but not enough to withstand attacks from the Great Khan’s subordinates.”
“Ah, I see…”
By the way, this sand, isn’t it the same one she absorbed directly in front of the guys who came to find me after taking me away when she dyed half of the Great Heat Demon Realm with poison on the day she reached EX-rank? It’s still remaining like this.
Hmm, but if that happened then… the others won’t take this as a provocation, right??
‘…Well, I don’t need to worry about that.’
Everyone seems to have no particular thoughts about it. It’s fortunate that there won’t be any unnecessary conflicts.
Wow, by the way, how was all that poison sand stored in that small body and then came out?
“Haha, are you amazed that so much sand came out of my body, teacher?”
“It’s quite amazing. How did you know?”
“It’s written all over your face. But I didn’t expect someone like you, who has much more amazing and mysterious abilities, to be curious about such a trivial thing.”
“Well, I do make a living as a fortune-teller… but superhumans are still an unknown realm to me.”
I do have an F-rank superhuman tag, but that’s just similar to saying I’m an ordinary person.
There are S-ranks around me, and even an EX-rank transcendent, but nevertheless, the realm of superhumans was still a mystery to me. After all, others are superhumans, not me.
Well… unlike my thoughts, other people always seemed to find my fortune-telling more amazing, but just because my power is amazing doesn’t mean other people’s abilities aren’t amazing.
“I can’t explain or interpret it logically. If this was a world where such things worked properly, superhumans and monsters would have all disappeared long ago.”
“Well, I guess that’s true?”
As much as the world is like fantasy, it deviates from the existing rules that were said to have worked in the past. Whether monsters or superhumans.
Cutting a mountain with one swing of a sword, mountain-sized monsters existing, the climate of a region completely changing when a monster dies, being able to control an entire continent with just one performance – who could properly explain such things?
Even superhumans who use the abilities often can’t explain them in a way others can easily understand, even if they can perfectly handle the ability themselves.
Well, should I say it’s a strange world where nothing would be strange no matter what happens? That’s roughly what it means.
“But to explain it roughly for you… I have become poison itself. Hmm, in martial arts novels there are people called poison humans… should I say I’ve advanced several steps beyond that? In terms of realm… I’d be more than worthy of being called a poison immortal. Something like that.”
“…Um, I understand perfectly!”
By the way, saying this means I didn’t understand.
And Wei Zhiying seemed to notice my thoughts, smiling faintly as she said.
“Just think of it as being possible because I’m too strong.”
“Right… that would be the cleanest explanation.”
Anyway, after chatting a bit like that, we boarded the ship.
By the way, I was carried onto the ship in a princess carry by Akame.
With my physical abilities, it was impossible to climb up there like the others… The posture was a bit awkward, but if you can’t do it, you have to get help.
And after such twists and turns, the flying poison sand ship flew very well.
I thought we might sink into it since it’s sand, but maybe because it’s sand infused with Dokma’s power, there was no such thing.
Like that, the Flying Poison Sand continued its smooth sailing, speeding freely through the empty sky at quite a fast pace, though I’m not sure exactly how fast, and as a result, we were able to reach the Great Khan’s domain without spending too much time.
“That’s the Great Khan’s domain…”
“There’s nothing particularly impressive to see. The real thing is inside. Mongolia is vast, teacher.”
It’s certainly desolate here. Is it because it’s the border of the domain?
“By the way, does anyone know anything about the Great Khan??”
It seems like I should know something since I have to ask a favor…
“Well, I know about the information widely spread in the world. In fact, everyone probably knows it?”
“…Is that so?”
Information about the Great Khan, Borte Chino Jamukha, has never been known in detail.
Only his old tales and his actions of being holed up in Mongolia without moving are famous.
‘Well, the Great Khan’s story is certainly worth being famous.’
Borte Chino Jamukha’s story had aspects of old legends, myths, and folklore. It was also a story of human triumph.
When a sudden calamity called a demon realm struck the peaceful land of Mongolia, and the country of Mongolia was collapsing in an instant, Jamukha was caught up in this major event, and Jamukha, who was just an ordinary person at the time, awakened and became a superhuman in this life-threatening crisis.
However, Jamukha was weak at that time. The awakened he was just an F-rank superhuman with the power of a weak necromancer.
Nevertheless, Jamukha kept moving endlessly to survive.
At first, he could only revive one corpse as a skeleton, but even with just that much ability, Jamukha kept moving and moving, growing by catching countless monsters.
His awakening was only F-rank, but Jamukha was a genius.
There were countless threats overflowing, no one else alive besides himself, and no support from other countries. Yet the demon realm was unnecessarily full of powerful monsters.
But even in such a desperate situation, Jamukha somehow endured when crises came, steadily grew by turning crises into opportunities, and finally overcame and devoured them to make them his nourishment, growing slowly and steadily…
Like that for 10 years. Borte Chino Jamukha, who finally ascended to the realm of an EX-rank transcendent beyond S-rank, reduced the master of the demon realm to one of the corpses he controlled, completely conquered and smashed the demon realm, recovered the ruined land of Mongolia, and after claiming it as his domain, he never stepped a foot outside of Mongolia.
No one knew the reason. People were just interested in the thought that who could read the mind of such a powerful transcendent of EX-rank.
Anyway, since they couldn’t even enter the domain, there wasn’t particularly any information flowing out, so interest naturally cooled down. Even so, it’s impossible for interest in an EX-rank superhuman to cool down completely, but interest certainly weakened.
Anyway, this is all that’s known to the world about the Great Khan’s story.
He doesn’t particularly form relationships with other superhumans either, so even superhumans don’t know more about him.
It’s truly not an exaggeration to call him an unknown existence. That’s why it’s more troublesome…
As we reached the Great Khan’s domain, while I was worrying about the existence of the big shot called the Great Khan, suddenly there was a tremendous roar and sparks flew up, shaking the sand ship.
“Ugh?!”
“No need to be surprised. It’s just the host’s light welcome greeting.”
This level of explosion?! The flames are enveloping the ship!?
Ah, of course, I was fine since I was inside the ship. But at this rate, isn’t the ship going to be smashed…
“Isn’t it widely known that the Great Khan commands thousands of S-rank level undead? If it’s not him coming in person, this ship can’t be brought down, so rest assured, teacher.”
He has thousands of S-rank level undead?! I, I didn’t know that…
“Uh, but the ship is going down now??”
I thought you said it was safe?!
“This is because I’m controlling the ship downwards. We need to land, don’t we?”
“Ah, right.”
Is that so?
Anyway, after the initial attack, there were no further attacks.
…Or so I thought, but it turned out Dokma had cleared them all in advance. I could tell by looking at the poison pooled on the ground.
“So what are we going to do now?”
“He should have sensed me, so he’ll show some reaction now. Just wait a little, teacher.”
And no sooner had those words ended than a skull head rose from the ground.
“?!”
[Impolite guests are not welcome… but a troublemaker I can’t just send away lightly has come. You dare to beat up my subordinates?]
“If you’re not happy with that, why don’t you live a bit more openly? And isn’t it your fault for not training your subordinates properly?”
[Who’s the impertinent person who came in first?]
“Don’t be annoying by nitpicking words and let’s see your face. There’s a guest who wants to see you.”
[Dokma… A guest precious enough for a transcendent who’s reached the realm to guide? That’s a bit interesting. Alright. I’ll make an exception after a long time.]
A rumbling sound echoed, and this time a carriage made of bones rose from the ground.
[I’ve summoned enough for the number of people, so get in. My subordinates will guide you.]
“Oh? This is more docile than I expected?”
[I’m just not as stubborn as you think. Hehe…]
It seems like a battle of nerves is unfolding between the two transcendents… but more important than that is… fortunately, we’ve entered the Great Khan’s domain more easily than expected.
As expected, asking Dokma for help was the right thing to do!
