The moment I nodded, my consciousness returned to my body. And then my body was enveloped in pitch black darkness.

''Ah?　What is it?

　I can hear Takei's confused voice.

'Success. Perfect.'

　The voice seemed to come from my mouth, but it wasn't a voice of my own volition.

　My hands, my feet, my neck, my mouth, and every other part of my body couldn't be moved by my will.

　My body, my entire freedom, seems to have been taken over by the Abyssal King (Abyss King).
　Still, I am conscious and can see what's going on outside.

''What the hell, you've suddenly turned black.

　Takei told me that. Am I all black now?　
　Did the imprint go around the entire body and turn black?

'Well, let's see if I can make good on my promise.

　That's what the Abyssal King called out with my mouth.
　And the speed of my body that the Abyssal King (Abyss King) is moving my body is terribly fast.
　Takei is not able to react to that speed at all. Then, without slowing down, I ate an elbow strike as hard as I could in the area of Takei's stomach.

''Gahaha!''

　The power of the elbow strike was tremendous, and the moment it hit, Takei's body was blown backwards at a tremendous rate.
　It was blown away by more than 100 meters, making it the size of a pea grain in the eyes.

　The Abyssal King (Abyss King) closes that distance in an instant.
　He stomps on Takei's stomach, who is surprised and confused.

　Takei's belly is crushed by the strong stomp.
　Takei's internal organs fly out of his mouth, along with a large amount of blood.

''Gaha ... ya ... ya ... ke ... ke ...''

　No longer does Takei seem to be able to even speak properly.
　Tears in her eyes, blood and guts spewing out of her mouth, her body trembling in small increments.
　I desperately try to escape from the Abyssal King (Abyss King) who is controlling my body, even crawling on the ground to escape.

　But the Abyssal King showed no mercy.
　This time, he stepped down on his head.

　''Gusha!　And then there was a sound, and Takei's head was trampled down. Blood spread out on the ground like a broken watermelon, and pieces of his brain and skull scattered to the four corners.

　The brave Takei died a quick death.

''Then let's absorb it.''

　The Abyssal King (Abyss King) used my mouth to say that and absorbed Takei.

　HP up 1422, MP up 1232, Attack power up 781, Defense power up 701, Speed up 771, Skill points gained 93.
　Skill [Legendary (Legendary Mode)] is acquired.
　Skill 【Regeneration (Regeneration)】 acquired.

　I could hear the voice of the ability value increase and the skill increase as well. Something ridiculously raised.
　Lending me power must mean that all of my abilities add up.

'Well, I'll do whatever I want with the rest. Well, I can't ask you for an answer, though.

　Saying that, the Abyssal King (Abyss King) moves my body and tries to leave somewhere else.
　Do I have to keep watching this guy's moving body?
　That's hard. But for now, I kill Takei and the crisis is over.
　Mek and Lenya were saved.
　That's all I need to know.

"Tetsuya!

　I heard Mek's voice.

'You're ... ah, Mek. I'm sorry to hear that. Tetsuya is no longer in this world. I am the Abyssal King.
I don't care what you are. You must give me back my body to Tetsuya.
That's not going to happen.

　The moment Meku hears the Abyssal King's (Abyss King) reply, he starts running towards the Abyssal King (Abyss King).

　What are you doing, Mek!　

　This guy is so strong that no one can handle him anymore!　This is not a person that a stuffed animal Mek should be peering at.

"Oh, I said I wouldn't kill you," he said. I don't mind. I don't think she's going to fall victim to your attacks.

　The Abyssal King (Abyss King) turned away, completely ignoring Meku. ''Good. This guy seems to be willing to keep his word.

　When I was about to walk away, Meku put something on my body that was controlled by the Abyssal King.
　It was like a jewel.

"Huh?
Go away!
"...this!

　My body is bathed in light.

"d*mn, you didn't have to do anything. Where did you get this stuff?
I don't have to tell you.
Okay. I'll tell you one thing, I'm afraid. I'm not going to disappear like this. It will undo my assimilation, but the Mark will remain intact. The negative fate of this thing is intact. Sooner or later, it will suffer an unpleasant fate, and it will come to rely on me for help. I can never change the ending. It's just a matter of procrastination.
I don't know what you are, but I won't let Tetsuya rely on you again. I don't know what you are, but I won't let Tetsuya put you in a situation where you have to rely on me again. I'll find a way to get rid of the Mark in time.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha, I wish I could find a way to make it go away. Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

　The Abyssal King (Abyss King) laughs hysterically at my body. And after a while.

"...Oh!　I can move!

　I can move now.

Tetsuya!

　Meku hugged me. It was a stuffed animal, so it would only feel fluffy, but I was still happy.

'What did you use?'
My sister gave it to me. I guess you can't use it again after you've used it once.

　There was nothing more on the place where the jewel was on earlier.

'Anyway, have you defeated the brave man? Ah, Lenya!

　I run over to Lenya.
　She's in the form of a cat, and although she's in quite a dangerous state, she seems to be breathing.

''We need to hurry up and get home and get you fixed up.
That's right. How's Tetsuya?
Yeah. You look like you're making a full recovery.
Well, I've got a hole in my stomach. I only had a hole in my stomach. It has a strange habit of healing itself after a certain amount of time.
Yeah. Let's just hurry up and get home.
A good sword, and a battle is going on in front of the castle to discourage the soldiers. Now that the body has been absorbed, it's best to take the sword with you.
Okay.

　I picked up the sword. It certainly looks like a nice sword, and I'll be using this next time. It looks like someone stole it, but it doesn't feel right.

　Afterwards, we rushed back to the castle.

　The battle was still going on in the castle, and it was evenly matched, not who had the upper hand.
　I walked up to them, raised my brave sword, and

"The hero is vanquished!　Look at this sword!

　I shouted.
　The other party was zany at first. As soon as he saw the sword, his face turned pale.
　The sword is the life of a warrior. The moment they saw me raise my sword, they ran away at once, perhaps thinking that the only time it would be taken away was when they died.

　A loud cheer goes up from the allies.

''You did it!　Lord Tetsuya!
You can celebrate later!　Fix Lenya!
Oh my!　It's a sign that the beast race is quite weak to be like this. Please go get the healers!

　Lenya was later recovered by the healers and survived.
　Thus, the battle against the brave Takei ended.
