I Don't Belong To Such A Stupid World

Chapter 20 - The Magical Man Eating Horse, Binky

Binky made some noise before it kicked the ground and reached Alex really fast. Alex placed his arm in front of him but was too slow to activate Shackle, so his arm was pierced from the horn and was centimeters away from his neck, but before it could go beyond, he grabbed the horn with the other arm.

Alex: Chris! Hide yourself! I'll take care of it!

Chris: B-But-

Alex: GODDAMMIT CHRIS!

Chris: ...Please… Please don't die…

Then she used Lurk and hid in a corner, unable to do anything against Binky as it kept trying to pierce Alex's neck.

Alex: [Shackle]! 

He didn't dare to use Unshackle because it would tire him too much, so he remained with Shackle.

Soon, the evil horse backed away, and Alex took out his arm from the horn. The wound was slowly regenerating while Alex started to think.

Alex: I can avoid it if I fly, but then it would use Death Wave and hit Chris too… Then I can just hold it back or kill it… But the second is almost impossible…

The monster charged at Alex again, but Alex used Highlord's Gaze on it. However, when he activated it, Binky glared at Alex and he felt his Highlord's Gaze shatter in front of Binky's presence and backed away, dodging Binky who pierced the wall with its horn.

Alex summoned 5 floating Overfiend Blades of Nulgath and held a Combat Soulreaper of Nulgath, the 5 greatswords charged at Binky, slamming on its side. Even though the strength at which they flew was much higher, they only managed to make Binky stumble some meters away from the wall, and left some small scars on its black fur.

Alex: F.u.c.k.i.n.g beast…

Alex backed away before he felt a burden on himself.

[Skill Locked]

He could see that the swords were still floating at his command, but he couldn't summon more or despawn them.

Then Binky glared at Alex and started again his charge when his aura turned from green to red and his charge got much faster.

[Bloodrage]

Alex quickly placed his 5 Overfiend Blades of Nulgath between him and Binky, and when Binky rammed onto them, he could feel a small crack on the first blade as they slammed onto Alex from the force that Binky carried.

He and the greatswords were slammed onto a wall, and the first Overfiend Blade of Nulgath snapped in two. However Binky didn't go past the second even if it kept ramming on it in anger.

And... [Shrapnel Rounds] ...Hey, hey! Why the hell is that horn rotating?!

Then Binky slammed the horn on the blade, as if trying to penetrate it, sparks flew everywhere as Alex started to get a bit scared.

Alex: F.u.c.k f.u.c.k f.u.c.k f.u.c.k!

He sent two Overfiend Blades of Nulgath beside the beast, they started to rotate at a really high speed, and when they reached a certain speed, they slammed on Binky's back.

This time the impact was much stronger than before and Binky was slammed in the ground. Alex quickly went towards it before it could get up and stabbed one of its eyes with the Combat Soulreaper of Nulgath.

Binky was groaning in pain, since this wasn't Adventure Quest World, Alex was free to hit any place he wanted, he found out about this when he was blocking Binky's charge.

If he made Binky blind, it will be much easier for him to attack him and defend. Binky was a living beast, not undead, so it can't sense life force. And right now he blocked Binky's Kathool's Gaze and Prophetic Vision.

Now Binky got up and rotated his body while kicking the air, trying to hit Alex, and it really hit him, he used the Combat Soulreaper of Nulgath to block it, but it snapped in two, leaving Alex with a stick and a blade.

Alex slammed in a wall with some broken bones, and Binky started his charge again, still being in [Bloodrage], he was giving Alex the finishing blow when…

Chris: [Bind]!

A magical rope appeared between the horse's front limbs and binded them, Binky fell in the ground, with its horn stuck in the wall just right below Alex's legs. 

Now that he had the opportunity to do so, he used the broken Combat Soulreaper of Nulgath to stab the other eye and run away from it.

The horse continued to groan in pain and struggle, until it got free from the binds and stood on his feet, from his horn, a black orb was charged.

Alex: Chris!

Chris: Yes! [Skill Bind]!

Chris deactivated Binky's Death Wave, and Alex slammed the remaining 4 Overfiend Blades of Nulgath on it. Each one rotated a bit around itself before slamming on Binky, causing blunt damage.

[Skill Unlocked]

Alex grinned and made the Overfiend Blades of Nulgath disappear, his broken scythe too, and then summoned 10 Evolved Shadow Spear of Nulgath aimed at Binky.

Alex: Chris, stand behind me.

Chris nodded and stood behind Alex, who flung the spears at Binky. 

[Mind Twist]

A shield was created around Binky and the Evolved Shadow Spears of Nulgath slammed in it, causing a great explosion. The shield broke, but Binky came out unharmed.

Alex made another 10 spears and threw them at it, this time the target connected.

*BOOM!*

When the smokescreen vanished, it revealed Binky with slightly broken horn, this time Shrapnel Rounds would stop working.

Bloodrage stopped working too, turning Binky's red aura back to green, however it was still as lethal as ever…

[Pestilence] [Curse of Blades] [Noxious Decay]

Blades came out of nowhere and pierced Alex's body, while the pestilence invaded his body and his body was slowly rotting. Since this was not a game, the pestilence won't leave until cured.

Alex: F.u.c.k…

The horse started to get up and rushed at Alex anyway, hearing his voice, Alex and Chris moved away, but Binky used the vibrations on the ground to reach Alex and stab his c.h.e.s.t with the horn, surprising him.

Fortunately he had Shackle, or the damage would be even worse. Alex gritted his teeth and summoned 2 Overfiend Blades of Nulgath, he rotated them even faster than they were before, before slamming them on the horn, snapping it in two.

[Petrify]

Suddenly, Alex's body was turning into stone, but Chris assisted him.

Chris: [Skill Bind]!

The petrification stopped and disappeared, making Alex sigh in relief. After that, he used Unshackle and summoned a Combat Soulreaper of Nulgath, before slamming the blade between Binky's jaws and his skull, piercing the flesh.

Then Alex grabbed Binky's head and pushed it away, before grabbing the horn that was stabbed on his c.h.e.s.t and stabbing Binky's neck. Binky backed away in pain before Alex used the scythe to stab the horn much deeper than before, until it got to the other side and sticking the scythe in the hole.

Binky was struggling to move and breathe when it started to get slower, and finally it fell down.

Grimskull: You… You killed Binky…?

Alex didn't answer and picked up the horn, before he walked at Binky's corpse.

Alex: F.u.c.k.i.n.g horse…

Then he threw a kick on it, before his face turned green and puked on the ground.

Chris: Alex!

She rushed towards Alex, who was extremely sick due to the Pestilence, maybe the wounds that Binky caused made the illness spread more than it should…

Alex: Let's just wait for the magic circle…

Grimskull: ...Congratulations for winning the Grimskull's dungeon, heroes. I got to admit that it was fun having you two.

The next moment, a magic circle opened, and Chris dragged Alex in it, teleporting both of them back to their world.

When the light faded, Alex and Chris found themselves back in the other dungeon, with Aqua and a lich waiting for them.

Aqua: Finally you are ba-Alex!

She held an annoyed tone until she saw Alex's injuries, Chris was too tired so she laid in the ground to take a rest. 

Alex: Yo, I'm back…

Then he puked on the ground again, making Aqua panic a bit.

Aqua: [Sacred Highness Heal]!

A magic circle surrounded Alex, but instead of healing him, the skin was rotting even more faster, making Aqua stop.

Now Alex was on verge of death, and Aqua noticed the curses on his body.

Aqua: [Sacred Spell Break]!

The Pestilence, the Curse of Blades, and the Noxious Decay stopped, before Aqua healed him again. This time the healing worked.

Aqua: Damn, what the hell did you fight? 10 liches?

Alex: F.u.c.k you… It was easier fighting 10 liches than that shit… Anyway, thank you for healing me, Aqua.

He stabbed Binky's horn in the ground and used it as a support to stand up, and then he looked around, before his gaze stopped on Keele.

Alex: Is that the dungeon master?

Keele: Yes, it's me. My name is Keele and I'm sorry for the teleportation magic, I thought I had removed them all, but I didn't see it yet.

Alex: Don't mind it, at least we are alive…

Keele: Thanks for accepting my apologies… Lady Aqua, now I hope that you can proceed with the purification of my body.

Aqua: Right away.

Then Aqua, Keele and Alex holding on a sleeping Chris reached the boss room, where Keele lived with his dead woman.

The archwizard placed his rotten hand on the bone hand of the lady while Aqua chanted every line of her spell. She made a magic circle encompassing the entire room.

Keele: Ah, that's a big help. A lich can't do something as ridiculous as committing suicide after all. I was quietly waiting for myself to decay when I felt a powerful holy aura, so I woke from my long slumber.

Then Aqua let out a gentle smile, making Alex think…

Alex: 'Who's this girl?'

Aqua: Archmage Keele, you have forsaken the laws of the gods and became a lich by your own conviction. In the name of the goddess of water Aqua, I absolve you of your sin… When you wake up, you will find yourself before a goddess with unnaturally large b.r.e.a.s.ts named Eris…

In that moment, Chris's eyes snapped open and realized what was happening, so she vanished before Aqua would notice it and turned back to the afterlife. Alex chuckled a bit and looked at the illusion of the woman he wished to have in his party instead of the useless girl he knew.

Aqua: If you don't mind the age difference between you and the one you love, or if your relations aren't between a man and a woman, and if you wish to meet her no matter what form it may be in… You can try asking Eris. She will make your wish come true.

Keele bowed his head deeply and Aqua used her spell, enveloping the room in light.

Aqua: [Sacred Turn Undead]!

The light soon disappeared and the roo was enveloped by darkness again, bt the lich and the corpse of the woman disappeared.

Alex: ...Let's go back, I won't go in a dungeon for a while...I already had my fun with Grimskull and Binky…

Aqua: Binky?

Alex took out a black enormous horn with a skull impaled on it.

Alex: The Magical Man Eating Unicorn, Binky. That f.u.c.ker was full of skills and my Highlord's Gaze didn't even work… I almost died twice trying to kill it, if it wasn't for Chris then I would have been already dead.

Aqua: Ah! Where is Chris?!

Alex: She left alone, telling us that she would not go in a dungeon for some time.

Then both of them left from the dungeon, meeting with Megumin and Darkness.
