What was that?
Otto doubted his ears.
Just now, did I hear something?
Then,
[Whos there?]
Huh?
[Who coughed?]
He didnt mishear it.
Someone was talking to him for sure.
Wh-whos there?
Otto shouted in surprise, but the person who spoke to him wasnt anyone around him.
[Who are you that woke me up?]
No way
Otto realized that this unknown voice was echoing in his head.
Is this mace talking to me?
This was something that even Otto couldnt have expected.
[Punishment of Kairos]
This is the club that the infamous tyrant Kairos, considered the most powerful and evil dictator in history, used during his lifetime.
Kairos, who was a monk of the Atropos sect, is said to have used a mace as a weapon in accordance with the doctrine that priests should not use weapons with blades.
It seems that the evil thoughts of the tyrant Kairos are deeply ingrained in this club.

Note: This is an item that can temporarily provide strong power regardless of the characters abilities, but if used for a long time, it may drive the user insane.
Otto had used the Punishment of Kairos item when clearing the Conquerors Revenge event. However, at the time of playing the game, the Punishment of Kairos had never spoken to him.
[Notification: You feel a cold chill!]
[Notification: An unknown evil energy is boiling up!]
[Notification: The Punishment of Kairos temporarily grants you powerful strength!]
[Notification: Be careful!]
[Notification: After 5 minutes of using the item, the Punishment of Kairos will take control of your character!]
Only a warning notification like the one above came to mind.
So, in the end, the game and reality arent exactly the same, huh?
Thats when Otto thought of that.
[Who are you to wake me up from my sleep?]
Uh well, thats
[Disturbing my precious rest unforgivable]
Sorry? Are you Kairos?
[How dare you!]
An unknown voice shouted loudly.
Ahh!
Otto screamed and clenched his head at the pounding pain in his mind.
[How dare this worthless s**m like you call my name?]
Well, I
[This weak and pathetic garbage oh, this is perfect Ill just use your body to resurrect Kukukuku]
Thats when it happened.
What are you mumbling about? Condor snarled at Otto.
Condor became angry at the thought of being ignored when he suddenly screamed and muttered to himself.
How dare you stand in front of me and act so relaxed!
At the same time, Condor charged at Otto at a frightening speed.
F-f*ckk!
Otto dodged Condors attack by leaping away in an instant.
Regardless of the unknown voice or whatever, staying alive was the top priority.
***
The Duel That Started Like That
Die! You dog!
Condor relentlessly attacked Otto with terrifying force.
I cant believe this kind of power!
Camille was shocked by Condors appearance, and more so with his new power.
He was already strong before, but now he was even stronger.
Maybe he was ten times stronger?
Camille didnt think he could last a minute, even if he fought directly with him.
But what was even more surprising than Condor was Otto.
Ah! Ahhh!
You rat! How long are you going to run away!
S*it!
Otto was dodging all of Condors terrifying attacks.
Although his stumbling and tumbling movements were quite ridiculous.
As expected, that mace is what gave Lord Otto his power. Without it, Lord Otto wouldnt be able to dodge Condors attacks.
Otto had poor stamina. Even walking for 30 minutes would make him tired.
Not only did he show reflexes that Camille didnt think he could handle. He was also able to dodge attacks that even Camille couldnt avoid. This was impossible without the power of the mace.
Ah!
Meanwhile, Otto was doing his best to dodge Condors attacks.
In fact, when playing games against Condor, it wasnt this difficult.
No, it was too easy.
After all, Otto de Skudaria, who held the Punishment of Kairos, easily defeated Condor.
But reality was different from the game.
Experiencing it firsthand was a completely different story.
It wasnt like Otto, who had never fought in his life, could easily defeat Condor just because he held the Punishment of Kairos.
[F**k! Youre complete trash!]
The voice of the cannibal emperor Kairos yelled at Otto in a loud voice.
[How can you struggle against such a worthless creature even with the power of the great me?.]
S**t up!
[You really are a pathetic piece of garbage. Ive never seen such a worthless person like you in my life. Why dont you die rather of living a life like a parasite?]
Can you shut up for a second? I cant concentrate with all that noise!
Whether it was Kairos or anyone else, Otto had no spare energy to respond to anyones voice, as avoiding Condors attacks required a tremendous amount of concentration.
[You useless piece of crap! Attack! How long will you keep running away?]
Attack you said?
[I said youll be exhausted if you keep running away like this! Attack now!]
I, I dont know what to do!
Following Kairos advice, Otto swung his mace.
Swish!
The mace hit Condors chest accurately, making a dull sound.
Argh!
Condor screamed as he fell.
Did did I do it?
Otto was surprised to see Condor fall.
He managed to strike a blow against the enormous monster
[You couldnt even kill that pathetic thing? Youre irredeemable garbage!]
Youre annoying! Shut up!
Otto yelled and rushed towards Condor, swinging his mace as hard as he could.
Oh my god!
Did our Lord always have such great strength?
Wow!
As the spectators watched the fight, they were amazed at Ottos enormous strength, as he swung the heavy mace as easily as a broomstick.
Die, die!
Arghhh!
The condor could not find a chance to counterattack against Ottos fierce attacks.
The destructive power of the club was immense, but it was the speed that made it difficult to dodge, even faster than most swords.
Ugh! You, you have this kind of power *Huff* *Huff*!
The condor fell once again.
[Youre such a worm! Is that all youve got?]
But Kairos was not satisfied with Ottos fighting power.
[Its frustrating! So frustrating! To think you only managed to grab a tiny spec of my treasured mace power!]
If youre so frustrated, why dont you fight yourself?
[Haha!]
When Otto yelled in anger, Kairos let out a bitter laugh.
[Oh, really? Then let me fight for you.]
What?
If you surrender your body, that is! Kukuku!
At that moment, a notification appeared in front of Otto.
[Notification: Alert: 1 minute and 21 seconds left!]
[Notification: Alert: 20 seconds!]
[Notification: Alert: 19 seconds!]
Finally noticing the notification, Ottos face turned pale.
He had been so focused on the duel with Condor that he had not realized that almost five minutes of the time limit had passed.
* * *
[Ill take good care of your trash-like body! Kukuku!]
Kairos attempted to forcefully take over Ottos body.
Gruh Gruuuuuh!
Otto couldnt even properly resist Kairos immense energy pushing against him.
Meanwhile
Ill kill you Ill definitely Gruuuuuuuh!!!
Condor, who had stood up, charged towards Otto like a beast, roaring.
A tremendous amount of magical power was emanating from Condor.
Otto, whose vitality was on the verge of collapsing from Condors reckless attack, mustered his last bit of strength and went on a rampage.
As evidence, Condors body was completely dyed purple, with two horns protruding from its head, and finally wings resembling a bat had grown on its back.
A perfect transformation into a Devil.
This was evidence that Condor had made a contract with the devil.
[Kukuku! Resisting is futile! Consider it an honor to serve me with your useless body!]
Gruh
[Finally, you submit to me]
Shut up!
Otto resisted Kairos attempts to take over his body by using his willpower.
While doing so, he held tightly onto his mace and looked at Condor charging towards him.
This was his chance.
If he didnt kill Condor with a single blow, he would lose his body.
Concentrate I have to concentrate Gruh.
At that moment
Die!!!
Condor almost flew towards Otto.
Now!
As if waiting for this moment, Otto swung his mace.
Kwaaaaang!
The mace struck Condors temple with precision.
[Notice: Critical Hit!!!]
Critical hit!
My Luck 1.
My character was not very lucky, but Lady Luck smiled upon me this time.
Gyaaaa!
Condor fell to the ground, his left temple half broken.
Ohhhh!
Did our lord win?
Did he defeat the devil?
As the onlookers were surprised,
Groan groooan!!!
Otto couldnt even enjoy the joy of victory.
His veins swelled as if they were about to burst at any moment.
His skin turned purple and yellow like Condors.
Trembling!!!
He couldnt move his body well.
[Kukuku! You did well, but now your body is mine! Just surrender your body!]
YAHhheeee!
Otto was almost losing consciousness resisting Kairos, who was trying to take his body.
He tried to let go of the mace, but it wouldnt come off his hand as if it were glued.
My lord!
Camille ran up at a terrifying speed.
Camillethis..this.. use this!
Otto opened his inventory and threw something at Camille.
Camille caught it and wrinkled his face.
W-What the hell is this?
The item Otto threw was a sweet potato skin.
The same one they used to bake sweet potatoes in the fireplace last night.
Hurry hit me!
Yes?
Hurry hit me Kraaaaak!
In desperation, Camille swung the sweet potato skin with all his might.
BANGG!
The sweet potato skin hit the back of Ottos head.
Splash!
Otto fell into a puddle of rainwater.
Then the mace that had been stuck to his hand fell off and rolled on the ground.
This is!
Camille was surprised to see a blue light emanating from the sweet potato skin that had hit Otto.
It turned out that the sweet potato skin he used to bake sweet potatoes was not an ordinary item.
