The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat! - Chapter 35

Chapter 35: A gravity spell Chapter 35: A gravity spell “Hah, I guess I’m done here.” Alice said, hanging her hammer on her shoulder.

“So, will you come out or do you want me to force you out?” She asked.

But there was no response.

“Really?

You want me to force you out?

I won’t go easy on you if I do.

I’ll make your death very painful and agonizing, so better do yourself a favor and get the fuck out of your hiding place, you demon!” Then, the torches started lighting up one at a time till they were all lit up and the place had finally brightened up.

But Alice did not take her eyes off that very spot she had been staring at.

There was bloodlust and disgusting ominous energy coming from there, and she could tell it was the demon.

She could sense it and for some reason, it was very familiar.

Demon energy…

It was as if she was so used to it that she could tell it was a demon without even looking at it.

The demon that was hiding, walked out.

It wasn’t such a big bad demon that Alice assumed it to be.

But from the voice, she thought it would be something scarier and maybe as big as the statues, but it was just a scrawny demon wearing a worn-out robe and cloak, covering its appearance.

It was more like it had no face, and inside the cloak was nothing but darkness.

*Be careful, Alice.* The voice warned.

“What do you mean?

It’s not a big deal, right?” *It’s a demon.

Never judge them by their size or appearance* It warned and Alice gave the demon a good look, using her third eye.

But there wasn’t really anything special about the demon.

If anything, it looked far weaker than any monster she had faced in the dungeon tower.

Wait, that was suspicious.

How could it be weak?

It was the administrator, the one strengthening the monsters.

There was no way it was weak.

Then suddenly, the demon raised his hand and let out a light mutter.

“Gravity!” It said, and the gravity increased where Alice was standing, pushing her down with a great force, but she tried to stand her ground.

Her feet dug deep into the ground while she gritted her teeth, facing pressure she had never faced before.

Seeing Alice was holding on, the demon decided to increase the gravity.

“A thousand pounds!” It added, and Alice’s feet dug even deeper.

Yet, she could not bring herself to fall.

As long as she was still standing, she would be able to move but if she fell, getting up would be a problem.

‘Gah, it feels like my skin and my insides are ripping with the pressure.

What sort of power is this?’ She had heard of awakeneds that could manipulate gravity but never really expressed a gravity increase.

So, she wondered if the awakeneds with gravity skills were as pressuring as this.

If so, then they would be able to render their opponents immovable for as long as they wanted and take them out before they even knew it.

*Hang in there, Alice.

Once the spell weakens a bit, you can charge for it and kill it in one go.* The voice said.

‘Geez, thanks.

What I need right now is nothing but your consistent voice telling me what to do and distracting me from staying focused.’ *Ungrateful brat!* It remarked and practically went offline, leaving Alice to deal with her issue.

‘Did I make it mad?’ she wondered.

‘But that shouldn’t be my concern for now.’ she thought and managed to fix her gaze, her dangerous gaze, on the demon.

The demon flinched, feeling it would be in danger if it let go of its gravity spell so it added a few extra pounds.

Alice felt her body ripping apart and she coughed out blood.

She fell on one knee while still trying to hold on.

“Humans are weak.” The demon said, gradually walking closer.

“Humans deserve to be wiped out.

We shall carry out the orders of the crooked beings and eliminate all humans from this world, release chaos, and make it our own.” It stopped in front of Alice and then heard her titter.

“Why do you laugh, human?” “Oh, I don’t know.

Just that, with the voice translator in my head, your voice sounds so nasty and irritating.” She said.

“Talking about releasing chaos and shit, pft.

It’s nasty.” The demon got angry and tightened its fist, adding to the pressure but contrary to what it expected, Alice’s second knee did not fall.

She actually looked like she was getting used to the pressure and it wasn’t a big deal to her anymore.

The demon was in disbelief.

How was a mere human able to withstand its gravity spell?

Or did it release it by mistake?

It couldn’t be.

“Also,” she got up from her knee and stood straight.

“You’ve been talking about crooked beings here and there.

I don’t even know what it means or what it is but…

Do you want to know what else is crooked?” The demon wanted to add to the pressure one more time but Alice didn’t give room for him to do anything more and added as she grabbed its arm and flipped it down, despite the pressure.

“Your back.

That’s what’s crooked.” She literally broke its back with the way she threw him on the ground.

The pressure was released, given it was no longer paying attention to its spell and she cleaned the blood stain on her lips.

“Human, how dare…?” “How dare I?” Alice asked, pretending to be shocked.

“Oh, fucking hell.

I must’ve crossed the line there.

How dare I treat a demon so lightly?

I should give you the treatment you deserve.” She said and grabbed its leg.

She used him to whip the found over and over, like she was flogging a piece of cloth on the floor, instead of a living thing.

“Man, were demons always this weak?” Alice asked, letting go of its leg.

“Or is this not the real deal?” *Congratulations, you have killed your first demon.* The voice resumed.

“What?

Is it dead already?” She asked, bending down to scan him properly and truly, it was dead.

“Huh, and all I did was whip him on the ground.” *You seem to have no idea the kind of power you possess.* The voice reminded her.

*Anyway, this demon seemed to be a mage-type demon.

Non-combatant.

And the reason he was able to strengthen monsters and act like the ruler in this place is because it has a lot of demonic energy.* “Demonic Energy?

Is that different from mana?”
