This Eroge Won't Make Me Fall!



"I'd say about a C-Class, looks like a quadruped model."

A beast like C-Class remnant. That didn't sound so bad. Unlike humanoid models, quadruped remnants had lower chances of being as intelligent.

They were just remnants after all and not the Outer God themselves. That said, if not for the remnants and their terrifying strength despite their numbers, most worlds wouldn't have been destroyed to the point they were.

B Class remnants were already pretty tough for even hunters in the top thousand to take on all those years back. Now was a slightly different story.

"So, which of you want to try your luck?" Noa asked, crossing her hands. Then she started speaking to herself. "You've become so kind, Noa. So kind."

Just kill them yourself! No one finds fighting fun.

I sighed and stood up.

"I'll come with you."

I didn't find fighting fun, but I still had to keep training if I wanted to grow stronger.

Noa guided me down west from the place we had decided to camp at. Before leaving, Em had handed me a pager from her tool box, asking me to page her if I needed her.

I couldn't help but find it strange. Didn't pagers need a network?

Anyway, Noa and I ignored her and went toward the Remnant. We had made another policy to eliminate whatever remnant we found and could eliminate without suffering any injury.

If it attacked us, then it'll just be one more hassle to deal with. Killing them in the place they were found was the best.

A short walk led us toward a giant pile of rubble shaped up like a small mound. Atop it with its teeth covering half of its enormous round face was a remnant that stood on four legs. It constantly chowed down on the pile of debris and rubble as if indulging in gourmet food of the highest quality.

"HERREEIEIEI!"

"Their cries always hurt my head," I said, grabbing the back of my neck.

"Think you can take it on?"

"I can take on its mother."

I stretched my hands and walked ahead. Noa decided to sit on a high spot and watch me.

That was fine.

In this world or any other, the energy that most people could tap into remained Mana and Ki. And unlike most of them, I was someone who was born with both the cores.

But that wasn't all, I could also tap into their full potential.

I stretched my hands and walked straight at the remnant. It stopped eating the debris and looked at me, it's mouth widening in excitement.

"Hirereri!"

The remnant laughed.

"Disgusting," I muttered as I stretched my hand behind. The spatial dimension deep inside my magic started rippling through.

"I wonder how you fight," Noa's words rang in my ears. "You seem like the type to follow your brother's footsteps."

Follow my brother's footsteps? That was foolish.

"HHIRRI!!!"

The remnant's body contracted as the debris it had eaten shot out. Sharpened and coated with its power, the ball of debris came hurtling toward me.

—BANG!

Before it was shot to bits.

"Huh…?" Noa yelped in surprise… "A gun?"

"Why would I ever follow a dead weakling?"

The remnant screamed and spat out more shots of debris. That marked the start of the battle.

With a gun in both hands, I started running toward the top. The balls of debris came at me relentlessly, only to be shot down or miss.

"Not gonna work!"

Ki flowed from my hands and into the guns, I had to never worry about the bullets running out. The shots were formed from my mana and propelled by my Ki.

It was the most comprehensive way of fighting for the perfect dual core.

A click resounded as shots of lightning fired out of the guns. Hitting straight into the Remnant's feet.

"HRIEI!"

It yelped in pain. The remnant slammed its feet on the ground and pillars of debris rose around the mound.

The pillars formed hands and swung them down at me with speeds that betrayed their sizes.

"Not bad," I hummed as an hexagonal shield from behind me. I flipped back and jumped on the shield to avoid the attacks.

"You can do that too!?" Noa asked, surprised. Well my brother's spell was extremely difficult to reproduce without killer control. He said it used too little mana, but to scoop out a spoonful of water using a giant tanker was just as difficult.

I clicked the guns again as the circles engraved on them changed. Jumping off the shield, I spun in the sky while shooting off rounds at the giants of debris.

The bullets lodged inside the giants. Just as I neared the top of the mound, I crossed my arms.

"[Whitefrost]"

A chill spread through the air and froze the giants of debris in a single swoop.

I stopped right in front of the remnant as the white frost collapsed, turning into dust with the giants of debris.

I lodged the gun at the monster's head and smiled.

"Game over."

It was then, two small vines of debris emerged from the ground and knocked the gun away from my hands.

"HRIRIRI!" The remnant laughed as the guns flew away.

The remnant licked its lips as if saying I was out of options now. It seemed to be lording its position over me.

Ah… to see these idiots.

It was always so fun to see people think they had pulled a fast one on me. Anyone, anything… all of them…

They looked so stupid it was endearing. I was addicted to the sight.

The sight of them being crushed.

"[Whitefrost]" The ice spell emerged from my hand and froze the teeth and tongue of the monster.

"[Lighting]" Another spell, lightning fell from the skies and hit the remnant straight in the head.

"Fool, those are just tools. The magic is within me."

The Ki in my body flashed outward as it formed a spear around my hand. And in the next moment.

"HRIREEE!"

The remnant was gone.

"Hey, Kalanaar guy, do you see it too?"

Kalanaar placed a hand above his head and looked at the distance.

"I see it. Three humanoid models, about A class each? We might be in little trouble. Just a little."
