Chapter 33 – Cheat vs. Cheat

「Although reluctant, I’m a person from different world just like you」

I answer while spitting out.

「…… Hee」

He――I found with〈Pinnacle of Appraisal〉that he’s called Light so let’s call him that from now on. Rather, what a sparkly name――I stopped myself from laughing, but I couldn’t conceal the unrest in my heart. I’m growing impudent, but I’m still a timid person deep inside.

「I see. So you are the perpetrator who obstructed my army. But, how did you came this far? Was it transfer magic? But, you shouldn’t be able to transfer to a place you haven’t visited before, right?」

He tries to investigate.

This country is considerably far away from the Ekbana.

It’s also out of range of〈Pinnacle of Detection〉.

But, I have read Ouka’s memories with〈Pinnacle of Mind Reading〉.

Thanks to that, I was able to imagine this place in my head which allowed me the use of transfer magic.

Maa, there’s no really need to explain that much to this fellow.

「Ogurua」

「Hii」

While thinking about that, the Ogres started a.s.saulting the Onihime girl.

Oops. I should first do something about that.

「 Ogres die 」

Soon after I mutter, the light in the eyes of Ogres disappears.

They movements stop and they fall to the ground.

The Ogres have died.

「Eh? Eh……?」

Onihime opens her eyes in bewilderment.

Light raises his voice.

「Wh, what have you do…..?」

「I just cast a little curse on them」

I have cursed them with〈Pinnacle of Black Magic〉.

What a dangerous trick……

When, I tell that to Light, he asks with a stiff face,

「…… I see. You are saying that is your skill?」

「Yes」

「Ku…… kukukuku…… kuhahahahaha!」

Oioi, this fellow, he suddenly started laughing like a maniac?

What to say, his laugh follows the villain-like template too much.

――While thinking such,

「〈Steal〉!」

Light extends his right hand towards me and suddenly shouts.

The next moment, I felt something disappearing from within my body.

「That right now……」

「Hahahaha! You are a fool! To stupidly use a skill in front of me!」

Light starts laughing again.

He then starts teaching me even though I haven’t asked.

「The skill I have received from the G.o.ddess is〈Steal〉!You see, this skill the strongest skill which allows me to steal every skill I see!」

「Hee~」

When I appraise myself, I certainly see that〈Pinnacle of Black Magic〉has been stolen by this fellow.

Uwa~, a disaster~ (In monotone).

「At first we thought it was just some kind of a thieving skill, you see. Therefore, among my friends who were hero candidates, only I alone was considered a failure. A guy like that with such dangerous thieving skill, they said and started avoiding me」

He suddenly started narrating his life story for some reason……

「However, I noticed at one point! This skill, it can steal skills of my opponents! 」

You already said that before.

Did he say it twice because it’s important?

「From there, my advancing has begun! Although not many people of this world know about the existence of skills, but in fact, many of them possess them without realizing it. So to speak, it’s a talent. I kept on stealing their talents with my〈Steal〉. Naturally, I stole all the skills from my friends! Their faces when they realized they became ordinary people…… aha, ahahahahaha!」

Light bursts into laugh again,

「You will also fall into despair more and more! A reincarnated person without a skill is――」

I used transfer magic while Light was looking the other way.

I moved behind Light.

I catch him by the neck and throw him against the floor.

「Gube!?」

The floor breaks and debris scatters around.

「Wh, what did you do……!」

Light shakes my hand off and quickly stands up.

A blood is dripping from his forehead, but he apparently has a natural recovery skill because the blood immediately stops.

「You talk too long. Also, your laughter is gross」
