Chapter 630 (2/2)
A mouth appeared as it moved through the tentacles. Could it be the mouth of the great magic beast?
『It sounded just like a person though…』
It didn’t seem to have beast-like fangs, and although it was huge, it was not deformed. It had reddish-black gums and white square teeth that lined the gums. In fact, the shape of its mouth was very similar to that of a human’s.
It was strangely deformed in contrast to its body.
「Ghogooaaah… Ooobeey meee!」
『Huh?』
「Oobeey mee!」
It talked!
Its voice was loud and deafening as if it was speaking through a broken loudspeaker, but it was definitely talking.
「Obeeey meeee!」
I wonder if I could call it a spirit of voices. There seemed to be an Evil Spirit in its voice. I see now, those who heard it will surely get controlled by it.
(TLN: Spirit of Voices (言霊 kotodama) refers to the Japanese belief that mystical powers dwell in words)
But it didn’t work on me.
Perhaps it would normally take a great deal of effort for anyone to repel or reject the control.
But honestly, I didn’t feel like I had done anything. After all, I didn’t feel like I was about to be controlled at all. It was just a loud voice for me.
「Obey, me!」
『Well, sorry!』
「Obey, me!」
『Just sit there and scream that for the rest of your life!』
「Obey, me!」
Is that all you could say!?
『Just shut up already! But I was grateful that you’ve shown me a big, visible weakness!』
「Obey, me!」
It really only seemed to be able to speak in high-pitched tones. Was that what they called it in place of a squeal?
「Obey,――」
『Eat this!』
I unleashed my Kanna Kamui at the mouth of the great magic beast, which had repeated the same words over and over like a broken speaker.
A white thunderbolt was then swallowed by its open mouth.
「Obeehygyaaaah!」
『Oh, it works better than before…?』
The magic power of the great magic beast seemed to have decreased since my first Kanna Kamui, but…
The great magic beast seemed to be still making some movements. I decided to go back to Fran for the time being.
『Fran, its voice doesn’t affect you, right?』
「Nn. It’s just so noisy」
「Woof!」
Alright, it seemed both Fran and Urushi were perfectly unaffected by the Evil God’s control, they both just had their ears flattened and were frowning from hearing it.
