The World Is Overflowing with Monster, I’m Taking a Liking to This Life

Chapter 212: Six Kings

Six King Skills.

The reason I learned about this skill was because of that intelligent zombie.

After the battle against Peony, that zombie intervened and almost took away Peonys magic stone and the God Trees seed that I had acquired.

But just before that, that dark wolf appeared and intercepted him, which saved my life.

At that time, the intelligent zombie had mentioned this about the Dark Wolf.

Schwarz, the Wolf King.

I didnt think much about it at the time because I was too tired and confused, but he had mentioned a lot of other information that I was curious about, such as the owner of the Six Kings and the deadly sins.

When I used my right to ask questions, I found out that the six kings were the Wolf King, Dragon King, Death King, Sea King, Phantom King, and Bird King. I also found out that they were very special skills among the unique skills.

The Death King was the same as the one I had found when I had examined Rebels status before, but I could only determine that the other five were skills given to the top of each race.

Rather than a skill, it was more like a title.

The title given only to the strongest.

Was Soras husband the former Dragon King?

Yes. My husband was the supreme and ultimate being of the dragon race. Of course, my husband is not only strong, but also has a wonderful heart. I love my husband with all my heart.

Oh, forget it. Thats enough.

I feel like she would go on and on so its better for me to stop her.

What, I was just getting to the good part.

I stroked Soras neck as she slumped down in disappointment.

Im sorry. Ill ask you later.

Promise.

Yes, yes, I understand.

She really has become more rounded than when we first met, hasnt she?

Well, lets forget about that.

Lets get back to the topic at hand.

I want to bring the Wolf King and the Sea King to our side. Can you help us?

At Rebels unbelievable words, Ichinose and I looked at each other in silence.

At times like this, Ichinose would look at me without averting her eyes.

Whats with this impossible task?

Our voices were in perfect sync.

Its not like we were aiming for it, but it happened just beautifully.

Seeing such a situation made Rebel sigh.

Its not good to assume something is impossible before you even try.

No, it is impossible to try something that is impossible.

Yes, yes.

I dont know what the Sea King is like, but we all know how scary the Wolf King can be.

A powerful skill that controls darkness, and that intimidating feeling.

To be honest, even now that Ive gotten stronger, hes still an opponent I cant imagine beating.

And, hes getting stronger and stronger.

His strength when we fought at school and when we met after the battle against Peony were totally different.

Its a damn shame that the enemies are getting stronger just as we are getting stronger.

Why did you suddenly decide to make a monster your friend? Why dont you tell me about it?

You just said something about revising the plan, I want you to explain that to me first.

Ill tell you about it.

It was Aiba who raised his hand and spoke.

To be honest with you, the change in her plans is my fault.

Aibas?!

Yes. You know that Im using her divine power to suppress the outburst of my reanimate, dont you?!

Yes, thats what she said.

Rebels divine power is a skill that seals skills.

By controlling it, we can keep Aibas skill from getting out of control, and we can also stop reanimated people like Satsuki from disappearing.

But, divine power is essentially a skill for combat. Its also a skill that can give you unparalleled strength against other people.

It is true that being able to block a skill is a tremendous advantage in a fight between skill holders.

According to the explanation, the targets of the skill that can be sealed can be duplicated.

Theres nothing more annoying than having your skill being used against you.

She is using that important power to prevent my skills from going out of control. Shes in a state where she cant use one of her arms.

So, she s getting weaker and weaker. Thats pathetic.

Hey, Sora, can you be a little more

I felt frustrated with the way Sora said it without hesitation, but Rebel only laughed.

Its okay, its true anyway.

She waved her hands in dismissal.

But Im still upset that I used my skills just as those idiots wanted. Well, theres no point in regretting the past.

What do you mean, just like they wanted? Wait a minute. That sounds like

Yes, this whole thing. Its almost as if theyve been after me all along.

Wh?!

The timing of the outburst was too good to be true. Im sure they had planned for the skill to go off the moment Iver and I came into contact.

I was shocked, but Rebel was surprisingly calm.

If Iver acts as he should, it is fine. If he betrays them and lends his power to the people of this world, no problem. If its the former, I would have been somewhat exhausted from defeating Iver, and if its the latter, I would have been forced to use my divine power to stop his skills from getting out of control. Either way, its not a loss. Its the kind of move that Randall would think of.

Looks like there are some pretty smart people on the other side of the world.

More importantly, the person who came up with this plan knows all about Aibas and Rebels characters.

If he didnt know that she wouldnt be able to kill Aiba and the reanimated people, this plan wouldnt be possible.

Um, Rebel

Hmm? What is it?

Uh. No, its nothing.

?

I was unable to get the words out of my throat as she tilted her head.

Could it be that that Randall person used to be very close to Rebel and Aiba?

Well, thats why I need a force to make up for the loss of my power. And its something that they cant anticipate.

And that force will be the Wolf King and the Sea King huh..

Yes, thats right. The Six Kings skill is a skill that originally existed in the world we were in. Thats why they know what kind of people possess that skill.

What? Wait a minute. Youre going to make them join us even though they know about it?

They can predict that, cant they?

Dont you think they already have a plan?

Its the other way around. They know what kind of people the Six Kings are. Thats why theyre convinced that theres no chance that theyll cooperate with humans. Thats why we have to outsmart them.

I, I see. But is that okay?

Wouldnt it be reckless to bring such a monster into the fold?

It is not completely impossible. Besides, we have a good chance of winning. Lets start with the Sea King what do you think?

What kind of monster is the. Sea King?

Huh?

Huh?

When I asked her what she meant, she gave me a puzzled look.

What are you talking about? Youve already met the Sea King, havent you?

huh?

At those words, I was confused. 

Met him?

When? Where?

After seeing the question marks on our faces, a realization dawned upon Rebel and she looked satisfied for some reason.

Oh, so thats what you mean. You fought him without knowing his identity. Then, your reaction is understandable.

Fighting? Wait a minute. What do you mean?

As we grew more and more confused, Rebel said.

Shram, the Sea King. This is the original species of a certain monster, and its said that all monsters were born from the Sea King.

Born from..?

Yes, the power of Shram, the Sea King, flows through all of these monsters. However, the further away they are from the ocean, the weaker they become and the paler they become. But every once in a while, there is a monster that reverts to its ancestor and becomes the same color as Shram. Its a clear, beautiful red.

Red?

A red colored monster?

We have already met?

The sea king.. the sea.. the monster we fought in the sea .

Could it be

A monster appears in my mind.

After Momo saw through its power and it became our companion, it became our reassuring ally who helped us with its absolute defensive power.

Rebel nodded her head and said

Thats right. The true identity of Shram, the Sea King, is a slime.

Furufuru 

Aka, who was mimicking my jacket, trembled.
