Chapter 18 - Short-Term Contract Worker(10)

The Void. A dimension of all forgetfulness and disconnection.

Thus, the Void is akin to the night, a time of forgetfulness and disconnection.

To confront a foe, one must understand their nature, and the same applies to the spacetime called night.

Barolus.

Command the existence of the Void born from the quest for the Night Face.

Barolus... this was the incantation to make first contact with the "Faceless Demon" Night Face.

“Barolus!”

Arzen chanted the incantation with an overflowing anticipation that burned within him... and the Void responded to the Apostle's command.

It was... disconnection.

A tremendous power that severed all that existed in reality with overwhelming force.

???

The demon's arm pierced a hole in the sewer wall.

Cracks spread extensively around it.

This was the sewer of the Seven Great Cities.

A place built and maintained with extreme technological prowess.

The strength of its construction was so robust that it hardly needed describing.

‘But to break this…?’

It was undeniably a strong force.

Truly, it was a powerful force, but even the mere moment of its emergence made Arzen's hair stand on end.

‘The load of this power doesn’t make sense!’

The energy circulating throughout his body was suddenly consumed all at once, causing a rush of heat that burst forth from his nose and mouth.

‘Crazy, how am I supposed to use this in real combat?’

There was another issue.

No, it wasn’t just an issue.

‘I can wipe away the blood. But what’s unfolding before my eyes right now…!’

This wasn’t something that could be resolved by merely wiping it away.

‘Mom, what do I do?’

If they demand full payment for repairs, what on earth will I do then?
