The Spearmaster and the Black Cat Chapter 235

Now then, Im going to collect the large magic stones and the various items. ThisTen Heavenly Evil Statue as well, I suppose.

I will help, too

{Apostle of Light Evil} Liliza helped me with the retrieval.

The evil gods apostle had stored items inside her body, can you do the same?

Yes. A big bag like back when I was an evil gods apostle is impossible, but if its a small flesh box, I can create it as well.

She made the dark skin on her arm expand to the left and right, actually transforming her arms shape into something like a small box.
A flesh boxhuh?

Even if its limited, its a handy ability.

Please leave the luggage to me, Emissary-sama

Its fine since Ive got an item box. You might as well use that flesh box for yourself.

Okaaay.

While having such an exchange, she passed me the magic stones she had picked up. I put the leather bag with a great amount of magic stones away into my item box.

At that point, N, nyao, nya

Rollo had turned back from her black panther form to her usual black cat form.
I didnt know whether she said it with a tune of You defeated her, partner, but she came next to me while meowing in such a style. Her perfectly round eyes dominated her face.

Rollo, good job on bringing down that large demonic dog beast. You did well

While keeping her eyes pointed upwards, she meowed lowly, Nyan, turned around, and jumped. Once she landed on my shoulder, she fixed her posture by using her tentacles that latched themselves onto my shoulder and neck. At the end, she delivered a mischievous punch against my earlobe with the pad of a tentacle. Since her rough nasal breathing was cute, I forgave her.
Seemingly wanting to spoil me, Rollo rubbed her small head against my chin and cheek. At the same time, she licked my face with her tongue, which felt a bit rough.
That was also adorable. In return, I lifted her throat with my finger, stretched her black hair, and continuously caressed her. While at it, I spread her fur to the sides with a gentle brushing with the feel of pinching her cheeks. Then I tightly sandwiched her small head between my two hands, creating a weird face on her cat head.
Rollos weirdo face in the style of laughing with crossed eyes (XD) has been completed~. Pulling the thin fur on her head with the pulps of my fingers, I massaged her by stretching her ears. And then, after toying with her ears, I returned my fingers to the top of her head again, and continued to stroke it.
The texture of these short fur strands growing on her head is quite irresistible.
Rollo squinted her eyes, looking quite comfortable. She released a throaty growl.
Im confident that my cat spoiling techniques have leveled up. Rollo also closed her eyes as if going to sleep with the words, What supreme bliss nyao. Her entrusting her bodys weight on my fingers that are caressing her and snuggling up to me is also adorable.
A loud purring sound escaped her throat. And then I moved back to massaging her ears again.
As I did so, Liliza watched the relaxed face of Rollo while smiling all over her face.

Its the cute cat-sama who defeated the doggy.

She was a beauty possessing a milky chocolate skin. However, since she had the same face as the evil gods apostle Liliza I had killed moments ago, I harbored complicated feelings about her.
Well, shes a new friend. I gotta get used to her, I guess.
Come to think of it, I havent properly introduced myself to her. I suppose I will only give her my name for starters.
I interrupted my animal therapist activity that had a soothing effect on myself.

Youre right. This is my cute partner Rollo, and Im Shuuya Kagari.

N, nya. Rollo greeted her from her location on my shoulder.

She unleashed a cat punch into the air as if to show her pad. It was Rollos very own style of greeting.

Rollo-sama and Emissary Shuuya-sama, okay. As you know, Im a newly born {Apostle of Light Evil}, possessing the three names Liliza, Purin, and Tsuan.

Three names, eh?

{Apostle of Light Evil}? Having three names means that you can change into those three people?

Yes, I can.

I think I will ask since Im curious about her abilities. It will delay things a bit, but lets postpone going back to Helme whos protecting the blond woman.

Is it only three transformations? How often per day can you do it? Are there any demerits?

Its only three human-shaped transformations, but theres no limit on the number of transformations. I can also tamper with my shape to some extent. The demerit is that I lost the ability to absorb other souls and abilities.

Hee, she lost the evil gods powers? No, since she can freely switch between Liliza, Purin, and Tsuan, Id say its not like she has completely lost the evil gods powers. And yet I feel a special link to her.
Just like I had gained a combat occupation and title as Emissary of Light Evil after stealing a part of the evil gods power through {Spirit Cursing Chain Net}, which was a derivation of {Chain Factor} after an interference by {Granted Seal of Light}, she had become my kin as {Apostle of Light Evil}.
That probably means a new intelligent life had been created as kin.

{Apostle of Light Evil}, I feel a connection with you. But, let me deliberately ask: you dont hate that you cant wield the power as third apostle of Evil God Nicross?

I dont. There remain only very few memories of my time as an evil god apostle, but I dont feel anything in particular about them. Being able to wield my power as {Apostle of Light Evil} is all that matters to me, Emissary-sama

She winked at me at the end of her reply.

I see. I will return to the previous topic then. Is it possible for you to transform into anything besides people?

If you ask whether its possible, yes, it is. I can return to my old, original form orit requires your mana, but in addition

Old form?

What kind of form is it?

I will demonstrate it to you, Emissary-sama. Its this kind of form

My {Apostle of Light Evil} transformed with a bright voice, seemingly happy. Once her body deflated while her face seemed to collapse
Whoa, thats a surprise.
She had turned into a small caterpillar or hairy caterpillar with a strangely glossy, golden skin.

Thats your true form, huh? You were a golden caterpillar originally?

Chui chui.

The {Apostle of Light Evil} caterpillar looked upwards while loosely bending her upper body back and forth. It was apparently a nod.

Nyaa, nyaa~~n, nyao.

Rollo-san showed a reaction towards the caterpillar. She swiftly jumped down on the ground. She didnt unleash cat punches, but instead brought the tip of her nose close to the golden caterpillar. Restlessly moving her nostrils, seemingly very curious, she sniffed the scent of the caterpillar.

Rollo, youre not allowed to eat her. So far as it goes, shes my subordinateor something like that, I suppose.

Being smelled by Rollo, the caterpillar rolled itself up like a pillbug, apparently scared.

Nyao. Rollo meowed something like I know nya.

However, it looks like she wants to hit the caterpillar with a cat punch. Its pretty obvious that shes itching to go for it.

It seems that you cant speak in that state, but can you understand my words?

Chui chui.

The caterpillar softly moved its rolled up body, answering by wiggling its upper body.
Once I closely checked the tip of the caterpillar, it had small compound eyes and something small and circular with fangs growing out. Caterpillars might actually be cute as well.
It looks like it can spit a thread or something like that from its mouth. I think I will ask it about its abilities.

What can you do in that state?

Chui chui

At that moment, it made its body slowly stretch with the agility of a hairy caterpillar. It clung to the back of my right hand. Then the caterpillar imitated my finger, creating a mimesis.
Eh? A finger?

Nyaa Rollo was surprised as well.

Suddenly a finger had grown out on top of my hands back
The finger was independent. Moreover, it felt like a real finger, meaning I could use it as well
Wow. Now Im a real mutant.
However, since its just one finger, I can at least equip an extra magic ring on it?
Well, whatever. It doesnt change that its a new power anyway.

Anything else you are capable of?

Ca-chan, who had turned into a finger, couldnt talk, but it gave me a cute answer by moving the finger up and down.
Oh, nice. It looks like it still has some other abilities in stock.
Ca-chan nonchalantly sucked my mana. Expanding with a poof, it turned into another arm.
For real? Wow, thats much more awesome than a finger.
A right arm was mounted on the back of my right hand. As expected, the {Chain Factor} mark hadnt been reproduced, but otherwise it was completely identical to my right arm.
This is great. Finally I can become a three-handed spear userI wonder, can it extend its length beyond my wrist? In that case, will it grow as far as my back? Or, is it possible to create a gimmick-like clone arm while having it grow out from the area around the wrist? Plenty of issues to be resolved
Surprising others by growing an arm or a finger out of my forehead as a party trick might be perfectly possible, though.

However, it sure consumes quite a bit manathis arm transformation

{Apostle of Light Evil} Ca-chan moved the third arm which only went up to my wrist as if doing air quotes. Thinking about it now, she was the third apostle of an evil god, but it might have been her fate to become my third arm Ca-chan. I wonder whether it has any other abilities.

Ca-chan, what else can you do?

She snapped her five fingers, creating a nice sound.
Once I wondered whether that was all, the fingers withered away, and the arm changed into a persons head
Its the previous man, Tsuan. He spoke.

What the hellwhat happened to my body? Why am I just a head? Moreover, whats that strange voice that has been reverberating inside my head since a while ago?

Its my side whos completely baffled about what happened.
Thats what I wanted to answer, butthe composition of a mans head growing out of my right armthats bloody more dangerous than an alien.
Rollo was also startled by the sight of a human head growing out of my arm. The hair on her back stood on end, and she extended the bone swords from her tentacles.

Umm, Tsuan-san, right?

Thats right. My name is Tsuan. Having said that, bossyoure the emissary of light evil, Shuuya, huh? The voice in my head is annoying. Be quiet for now, you damn monster!

Tsuan-san, trying to speak to your own brain with your eyes crossedyoure a monster too. Thats a retort I couldnt honestly tell him.

Ca-chan, whos Tsuan-sans mental consciousness or the pineal brain body, be silent for a bit.

The consciousness is located in the brain?
If you consider it with the -theory of time travel, it should be an enormous information content with three consciousnesses
The troublesome part of the information synthesis theory crosses my mind for an instant, but then flows away.1

I heard something like a confirmation from within me Phew, finally some peace n quiet, huh? By the way boss, why am I just a head growing out of your arm?

Ah, before that

It looks like he can speak with Ca-chan in his brain, but it appears that not all of the visual data is being shared with all personalities through Ca-chan. It might be because hes a different soulI think its Ca-chan, or rather, Liliza whos moving the body as main host.

Tsuan-san.

No need for any formal speech, boss.

Got it.

Tsuan nodded upon my confirmation.

You dont remember whats going on when Liliza is out on the surface?

If shes in a state of a golden caterpillar, a finger, or an arm, there seem to be times when I know and dont know whats happening outside. It appears to change depending on the circumstances. Liliza is holding the control over this body

He was dissatisfied towards the end of his remark.

In other words, Liliza is the main personality, and Tsuan and Purin are side personalities, huh?
Accordingly I explained the details to Tsuan after introducing myself.

No wonder that you have a black cat with youboss is that spearmaster and black cat, huh? The one dubbed as demonic spear user and violet death godthe spearmaster who defeated Mad Knight. The new guildmaster ofRemains of the Moonwhich crushed ourEyes of Twilight. Ironic, far too ironicfor me to grow on the arm of the man I had been complaining aboutI was about to try a bit harder to reorganize my life! But, why was I eaten by a monster, died, and am now growing out of boss arm!! Aaaagghh, is this a nightmare? Right, it must be a nightmare, right?

Tsuan was crying. Hes pitiable, butthat part is an irony as well. After all he had taken onApostle of Nightmaresas opponents.

Im sorry, but its the reality. Tsuan, dont be pessimistic and consider it as having gained a new life. Youre my kin, but the power of a {Apostle of Light Evil} dwells in you as well.

Youre not wrongits correct what you say, butI have become a head onlywill I be able to move my body freely?

Please telepathically ask Liliza about that as shes the main personality according to your own words.

I understand

Tsuan crossed his eyes once more, beginning a conversation inside his head. Shitsince its a funny face, I end up laughing.

I see. We cant separate, but it looks like my body exists. What a relief. And, I also sense a strong bond to you, boss, exceeding that of family. This is a {Apostle of Light Evil}boss, Im a former dark guild member, but I also used to be a templar. If its a field where I can capitalize on that experience, I can help you. It might be unnecessary since youre strong, but well, Im looking forward to working with you.

Tsuan apparently calmed down after talking with Ca-chan.

Sure, best regards to you too. By the way, there was another woman called Purin, wasnt there?

Looks like it. I will pass back control to Liliza for the time being.

Tsuans face changed into Lilizas.

Im back

It was a cute voice, albeit being a silver-haired womans head growing out from my arm.

Welcome back. So, you can do one more transformation, right?

Yes, Im changing

The silver hair turned into blond hair. There was a tattoo on the forehead, and light blue eyes. With her bright blush, this girl was a beauty, too. Head-only, though.

Hello, Im Purin.

Yo, Purin-san. Youre also a part of the {Apostle of Light Evil}, but I wonder whether you can understand that

You can call it comprehension, or bond. I feel a deep bond with you. A bondsurpassing that with my ancestors. Its mysterious. Also, I can hear a voice giving me an explanation inside my head, to some extent

Liliza, be quiet for now.

Ah, I stopped hearing the voice. However, even though I died after being eatenIm alive? Moreover, right now Im just a head

She looks bitter, but thats something I can relate to.

Youre correct. Purin-san, you have been eaten and absorbed by an evil gods apostle, but by coincidence, you were revived as my {Apostle of Light Evil}. Thats how it is.

Yes. Thanks for your kindness. However, honorific language from the person whom I consider my Emissary-sama feels a bit embarrassing.

Understood. Is it fine to call you Purin then?

Sure. But, although it was coincidence, I feel happy to be able to live like this. And, I said so before, but I feel a special bondexceeding the one towards my Selene brethrenone I have never felt so far

I knew that she was telling me her true feelings. Something similar to a gentle feeling was faintly transmitted to me. Is she different from Tsuan?

Please tell me if theres anything I can do for you. I will do anything. If it comes to battle, theres my technique of using the bone needles characteristic to the Selene race, and I will do my best, making use of my experience as a B rank adventurer.

She will do anythinghuh? Im happy to be told that by the cute Purin. A B rank adventurer, eh? If she passed that exam, I guess you can say that her abilities as an individual arent all that bad.

I see. Im counting on you together with Tsuan. Please switch to Liliza then.

Okay.

Purins face wriggled, and transformed. What appeared wasnt Lilizas face, but a new arm.

Its fine for you to take a human shape, as Liliza.

Ca-chan formed an OK sign by putting her thumb and index finger together. The flesh wriggled with squishy sounds, went down to the ground, and transformed from its arm shape into a human shape.
It took her a bit of time to transform, but she returned to her form as Liliza.

Emissary-sama, Im back.

She told me about having a few remaining memories from her time as the third apostle of an evil god. Hence I will try asking her about those. Im kind of interested in what kind of fellow Evil God Nicross is.

Aye. About your memories as a third apostle, what kind of god was that Evil God Nicross?

He possesses a rhinoceros beetle-like head. His whole body has thick bones as foundation, and is covered by something similar to decaying flesh. Usually hes enveloping his body with a Wicked Wave Spirit Garment.

A rhinoceros beetle-like head, huh? There was such an evil god statue among the ones in the ruin on the fifth, tenth, and twentieth floor we passed.

Do you have any memories about the reason for attacking Mamani and the others?

Yes, I think it was immediately after tricking and eating the adventurer party that I encountered a tiger beastman who was fairly strong. I thought that she simply looked delicious and that I might become stronger if I were to absorb her abilities.

I see. I can imagine.

It looks like the third apostle had been collecting magic stones and items, but was there any purpose in that?

There is. Evil God Nicross favorite dish are magic stones because they become the source of his mana. You can regard magic stones like minerals

Is winking a habit of hers? I also disregarded the play on words.2

Are there any other memories you recall?

Yes, two more. First, the initial memory, my origin. In the past I was simply a golden, caterpillar-shaped monster called Golden Securion. It was at a time when I was living every day eating leaves, fruits, and insects in Fubalphs Forest. Suddenly, because of Evil God Nicross who arrived there, I acquired the strange ability to absorb various things by eating them and the delight that I could get stronger by absorbing them. Soon after I ate a human adventurer, who had been hunting nearby, and absorbed her. It was Liliza. Liliza strongly fused with me. Even now her pronounced traits remain, including her habits.

Lilizas origin, huh?

And the other one?

The second memory is about a three-way battle that took place on the 15th floor of the labyrinth.

Three-way?

The battle from just now crossed my mind

Yes, the Demon King Class monster Eggword Metal vs. the evil god apostles vs. a great number of human adventurers. Its a memory of a melee combat between those three groups. The first apostle Cherubim remained unscathed, but the fourth apostle Otherheart and the fifth apostle Do Al Derel were petrified and locked up inside a slate. The second apostle Noma Amud was injured by having his right arm turned into stone. It was a big, fierce battle.

Why did they fight?

Why fight on the 15th floor? With a Demon King Class? To begin with, on the 15th floor?

I quickly threw my questions at Liliza.

The 15th floor is called New World. There are countless Demon King class monsters such as Eggword Metal, Barbaryos Emissary, and so on. They are one of the great enemies of Evil God Nicross whos spreading his influence in the New World. The adventurers are enemies, too. Since the adventurers fought against Eggword Metal as well, it turned into a three-way battle.

So, the 15th floor is another world just like the 20th floor? That means, the 20th floor might also have a name like New World. Have the people living in New World three eyes like the evil races living on the 20th floor? Im curious about those humans.

Those human adventurersdo they look like me? Or did they have three or four eyes?

I think there were only two-eyes like Emissary-sama, but since its not like I know all of them, Im not completely sure. Just that the humans are one of the major forces on the 15th floor.

I see. Is it fine to think that the 15th floor has an Earth-like planet as well then? Evil God Steertop said so as well, that its huge.

How many apostles does Evil God Nicross possess?

Evil God Nicross apostles were six in total. Since I dropped out, its currently only the first, second and sixth, I believe.

Is the probability low that those apostles will come to meddle with me if theres another battle?
Well, I wonder. Liliza has no memory of it, but maybe there was an apostle among them who was close to her? Thus I think its possible that they will come looking for her. Its fine to talk it out if possible, but if it comes to a battle

I got it. Thanks for telling me. For the time being, mimic my finger.

Okaaay

Liliza transformed into a golden caterpillar, moved on the palm of my right hand like a stretching spring, and then shifted between my thumb and index finger. There she transformed into a finger again, becoming my new sixth finger.
Instinctively I brought it close to my eyes, staring at it very carefully. Its quite real with nice nails.

Rollo, were going back to Helme.

Nn, nya.

After Rollo got on my shoulder, we went back to the place where Helme was protecting the blond-haired woman.

Helme greeted me with a smile when I came back to her. The woman she had been protecting was still sleeping. However, currently it looked as if she was imprisoned by a magic water cage instead.

Welcome back, Your Excellency.

Im back. I killed the ringleaders ofApostles of Nightmares.

The demons leading the evil heretics perished, havent they? I wanted to stab their butts with my ice stakes.

Ah, wise men say detest the sin but weep for the sinner, but thats really impossible here.
Im also a monster on the side of the tainted who likes blood, but I cant forgive those who capture innocent women, rape them, and delightfully devour them.

I think for the time being there wont be any wicked ceremonies held in this city anymore. I absorbed a part of the evil gods apostle and turned the other part into our comrade, though.

Comrade, you sayis it the person who split off earlier?

Yep, she can also transform into something like this finger.

I showed my new finger to Helme.

Eh!? You have six fingers!

In addition, she can transform into an arm, grow a head, and change into three personalities, including the silver-haired woman who had split off earlier.

T-Thatssurprising.

Nn, nyan, nyaa

Rollo meowed with a triumphant look.
I guess I can demonstrate it a bit to her. I focus on the finger, triggering its transformation into an arm.

Whoaatheres really another arm on your hand, Your Excellencyamazing. You accomplished an even stronger evolution. Im happyit makes me tremble.

She really caused the bluish-black and blue leaves across her whole body to tremble and wave. Somehow I feel like we already had such an exchange in the past.

Your skin is truly trembling, isnt it?

Helme nodded many times in response to my question. While excited, she approached me as she emitted sheets of water spray from her whole body.
She started to touch my new handwith her soft palm.
I grasped her palm just like that. Of course with a lovers hold.

Fufu.

She revealed a beautiful smile befitting a spirit. No matter how often I look at her big eyes and long eyelashes, shes a pretty woman. Albeit a spirit with a blue, leafy skin.
Im being healed by her.

N

At that moment, the woman, who had been sleeping on the ground, woke up.

This is? Did I finally arrive at the path leading to Seuros? To the place of God of Justice Shafa-samahuh?Im alive? My body is healed? I wasnt eaten?

I turned my eyes towards Helme. She released the lovers hold, and after my new hand changed back into a finger, I instructed Helme, Cancel the spell.

Okay.

The water cage that had concealed the blond-haired woman vanished.

It looks like you woke up. Im a B rank adventurer called Shuuya. I killed Naromivas, who seemed to be the mastermind of theApostles of Nightmares, and the man who hurt you.

What did you say!? That demonoidyou, Shuuya-dono, defeated with just that woman over there?

Talking excitedly, the woman surveyed the vicinity while standing up.

Nyaon.

Rollo meowed from atop my shoulder. It might be I did my best as well nya.

Ooooh, what a lovely black catwith round and cute, red eyes.

Shes Rollo, my partner, who participated in the battle. Rollodeen is her full name. And, the one you see on the left is Helme.

Got it. Rollo-dono, youre a strong cat, arent you? And, Helme-dono, thank you.

No, dont mention it. I just followed His Excellencys orders.

Helme had transformed so that it looked as though she was wearing clothes.

His Excellency? Helme-dono, youre Shuuya-donos subordinate? B rank adventurer means you belong to some large clan?

No, I have a party, but we arent that big.

Innocent Arms is a small scaled party. However, there are probably no other adventurers who have stepped onto the labyrinths 20th floor besides us.

Shuuya-dono, are you a magic beast tamer? Or is she a skill-based familiar? Either wayits a fact that you saved my lifethis body with its nice clothes. Im truly grateful. Aaah, Im terribly sorry! I forgot to introduce myself!

At that point the woman held her head.

Dont mind it

No, thats an outrageous blunder. Im Ivanka. Im serving as Shafas battle priestess in a temple worshiping God of Justice Shafa. And I want to show my gratitude to you, Shuuya-dono. Since I cant do anything for you here, can I have you come to the Shafa temple by all means?

So she says, but currently I want to go back home and inform the others

Gratitude, you say? Just your feelings are plenty. Were going back to our friends.

Cant you somehow concede here? At this rate I wont be able to escape the slander of ingratitude. Besides, my hot feelings

Her eyes that combined blue and golden colors were moist. It was a womanly expression.
If Im told something like this by a beauty who has scars left on her face, I cant really refuse, can I?

Understood, I will just escort you to the Shafa templethats okay with you?

Then it wont be any thanks. But, fine. Anyway, I want to show you my gratitude

Got it. Lets go to the entrance then. Helme, into my left eye. Rollo, transform as well.

Okay.

Nn, nya

Rollo jumped off my shoulder, landing on the ground. She grew her body with a poof. She had transformed into a reliable, black beast with an aerodynamic, imposing head.
Helme turned into liquid in an instant, and went into my left eye in a spiral.

Whaaat, for them to transformI guess that settles it that youre a remarkable magic beast user. Its been a while since I last saw a transforming beast. And yet, her black fur is pretty and glossyand Helme-dono has gone into your left eye

Ivanka was taken aback with her lips trembling.

If possible, Id be happy if you could keep it a secret.

Of course! Kyaaa.

Suddenly Ivanka screamed with her boobs bouncing.
Yep,RollodeensHorse Liontentacle had coiled itself around her waist and lifted her up, carrying her on top of Rollodeens back with its bushy fur. I jumped on Rollodeen as if taking part in a pommel horse contest, straddling on her back. At the same time as I grasped the tentacle rein, our senses were shared.

Shuuya-dono, umm

She timidly asked from behind whether it was fine for her to hug my back.

Go ahead.

I answered with a cool face, butthe elemental devices of the Boobs Research Society that were located on my back squirmed around.

Read latest Chapters at wxworld.net Only

I see, then please excuse me! She put her arms around my waist and embraced me.

How nice. The elasticity of her boobs is irresistibleshe was at the level of Eva, the hidden big-boob owner.

While enjoying Ivankas soft sensation on my back, Rollo, you remember the way to the entrance, right? Time to bid farewell to this gloomy place.

Nyaa.

Rollodeen kicked off the ground with a powerful movement of her limbs, and started to run as if flying.
She plunged through the madder red cave.
Since Ivanka was with us, it wasnt an explosive speed. I think its alright, but its still quite fast.
She might end up fainting despite being a war maiden of the Shafa temple.
My partner was quickly proceeding through the cave. If seen from the side, it might look as if were riding through a narrow tunnel on a huge motorbike with a jet propulsion installed. I even felt as if my visual field within the cave we ran through narrowed down.
It was such a visual effect, but my dynamic vision had remarkably improved as Light Demon Lucival. I dont know into what category of my status, be it strength, agility, stamina, mana, dexterity, or spirit, it belonged, but is it simply because Im endowed with demonic eyes?
While pondering about such things, I let my eyes carefully wander, making sure that there were no evil heretics left in the corners of the cave.
