I'm Actually Not Overpowered!-Chapter 118 The Moment Where Everything Starts To Fall Apart [Pt 1]

>VWUUUUSSSHHH<

An unsettling purple mist suddenly appeared in a vast wasteland.

The desert lands were riddled with distortion, and within darkness spread for a small distance—enough to fit an adult person.

As space warped, and the fine line of reality blurred, an entity was spat out of the purplish-dark energy.

He had dark hair, was bipedal, with little to no distinguishing features. In essence, he was a human.

The human came out of the wormhole in elegance, however. He secured a proper landing, kneeling on one foot while placing his fist on the ground as he raised his head to perceive his surroundings.

"Haaa..." A soft sigh escaped his psrted.lips as his blue eyes took in the vast emptiness that surrounded him.

Other than the dreadfully bleak wilderness, there was nothing present for miles. The scorching sun dealt harshly on the land, and the ground's cracked surface sizzled with heat.

Sands. Earth. Nothing more could be seen for a long distance.

"This place..." The lone human murmured as he remained calm.

However, not long after his appearance and statement, another distortion appeared in space, and another being manifested.

Clad in wicked purple Miasma, he grinned devilishly. Space twisted with his very presence, and the power he exuded was extraordinary.

Long white hair flowed from his head and the purple glow in his eyes highlighted his ebony skin.

As he floated in the air, clad in a dark purple and black outfit that regally flowed with the drifting wind, his gaze was focused on the calm human.

"Hehehe... I told that idiot, Hogun that it would work." His voice sounded immature and childish.

Perhaps it was because he was calling in amusement, or reveling in satisfaction, but the Demon guffawed like a little kid.

Well, he indeed looked like one. His short stature made him barely up to five feet, and his clothes looked oversized for him.

Even his horns were imbalanced, as the right one was longer than the horn on his left forehead.

Still, despite his very weird appearance, there was no doubt about two things.

One, he was an immensely powerful Demon.

Second... he was the one responsible for the human's current predicament.

"Hogun spoke very highly of you, but I don't sense any strong power from you. It could be that he was exaggerating." The brutal kid Demon laughed even more, maintaining his suspension in mid-air.

"You..."

At this point, the human finally spoke. He rose to his feet, not showing any form of fear concerning the kind of evil that confronted him. 𝒇𝑟𝐞𝐞w𝐞𝑏𝙣𝑜vℯl.co𝑚

A serious demeanor played on his face as his eyes directly stared at the Demon who was right in front of him.

"... Adu, the Malevolent. That's your name... right?"

As this statement dropped, a deathly silence enveloped the two. They stared at each other for a moment, not bridging the considerable gap that dwelled between them.

Their ominous stares told of enmity, and the fact that none of them spoke only.amplofied the pressure radiating between them.

Sooner or later, though... one of them had to break.

"W-wha—?! How do you know who I am?"

The first to speak was Adu. His expression—easy to read as a book—was that of shock. His eyes widened and his heart tightened when he heard the human say his name.

"You were the one who brought me here, no? With that Spacial Magic of yours. Troublesome indeed." The human went on to say, placing both hands in his pocket as he calmly stared at the Demon.

"I-indeed! Without you on that battlefield, those humans are toast! Hehe, they're all gonna die!"

Another brief moment of silence passed, and then the human gave a soft smile.

"Interesting... so you took me to the middle of nowhere. About a hundred kilometers from the battle, isn't that right? That's the limit of your Spatial Displacement, range... am I correct?"

The Demon could only let out more surprise as the human spoke even more.

"H-how do you know all that? You read minds, or what?"

>ZSSHHUUUUU<

A blaze of pure blue energy revolved around the human, causing the Demon to back off, a bit in hesitation.

'When did I become so careful, like Hogun? Shit! This guy gets on my nerves!' Adu the Malevolent found himself growling internally.

After making his grand entrance, he thought he would toy with the human a little and wait until the City was destroyed.

Sure, he would miss out on all the fun, and his colleagues were going to do most of the work. Still... he didn't mind this at all.

In fact, he wanted this responsibility!

From what Hogun reported, the man standing before him—The Legendary Dragon Slayer—was absolutely powerful.

Not only could he kill an army of a thousand within a moment, but he also granted the denizens of Dulum the ability to fight back against the Demons.

The human was a catastrophic oddity that defied logic.

Killing Dragons. Defying Demons. Remaining unfazed in all situations. And even now... knowing so many things that he could not have gotten information about.

'Just who is this guy? He's more interesting than I thought...' Adu found his unease melting away.

In its place, amusement took reign once more.

"Hogun might have been right about you, though that changes nothing. So, was falling under my Spatial Displacement Spell a part of your plan too?" The child-like Demon grinned in anticipation.

'Can he really see the future?' The thought alone was alluring.

"What do you think? Tell me, Demon... do you really think you can win against me?"

"I do!" Adu's response to the Legendary Dragon Slayer's question was swift.

Frankly, there was no way to tell who would emerge victorious, but this Demon was not the type to worry about such trivialities.

Adu was infamous for being recklessly enthralled in battle. However, it wasn't because he was stupid.

No, it was the opposite—actually.

"I can already see the difference in power between me and you. I know I will win." Adu grinned. f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂

"Oh? You sound very confident." The Legendary Dragon Slayer's voice turned grim and threatening.

Yet... the Demon General did not seem the least bit fazed. In fact, he broke into a mischievous smile—brimming with confidence—coupled with a condescending gaze.

"Of course! After all... you're too weak."
