I'm the Only One With a Different Genre - Chapter 45
Chapter 45 – You Shouldn’t Just Swallow Anything
“Tch, what a nuisance.”
Bianca clicked her tongue inwardly and offered a smile to Lian who looked at her with a puzzled expression.
‘I never imagined someone would simply walk away after seeing the top floor. That never crossed my mind.’
Up until now, every slave that had seen and experienced the top floor without exception desired to become her disciple immediately. That’s how alluring the power of the top floor seemed.
Yet Lian, without a moment’s hesitation, insisted on returning to his place. Bianca quickly realized, if Lian left now, she’d never be able to bring him to the top floor again.
Th i s w as c opie d fr o m k i n g m tl. o r g
‘The opportunity is now or never.’
If one stayed here long enough, they would eventually encounter unpleasant rumors about her. For example, that all her disciples had mysteriously vanished without a trace.
Although before being close to the top floor, there were no chances of her secret being uncovered, once you get closer to the top, getting exposed is only a matter of time.
With someone like Iris, who was still not a finished force, she had time. But Lian was already complete. Ascending near the top floor would be swift.
Bianca licked her lips and said,
“How about one last thing before you go? I have a weapon that could be useful for Iris, and I’d like to give it to her.”
“Oh, that would be great, thank you!”
As she predicted, Lian was effortlessly persuaded when it came to his sister ‘Iris.’
“We should get going now since you said we need to go back quickly.”
“Yes!”
Leading the way, Bianca thought to herself,
‘Stupid. It’s because you show your weakness so openly that you end up like this.’
Bianca smirked internally as she opened the door to the armory. On the armory floor, imperceptible to normal eyes, there was a magic circle inscribed. It was a magic circle that amplified the power of the shadows.
‘Now, then.’
She twisted her mouth grotesquely and turned. Lian, with an innocent face, watched her.
“Enjoy your meal.”
“Huh?”
Th i s was c o p ie d fr om k i ng m t l .o r g
Crack.
Suddenly, the floor went pitch-black and split in half. By the time Lian noticed, a shadowy monster had already sprung out from the floor.
“Yeek!”
Like a crocodile emerging stealthily from a swamp to snap at prey, Lian was swallowed by the shadows in an instant.
“Kyahahaha, what a fool!”
Bianca bellowed with laughter at the sight of Lian being helplessly chewed up and swallowed. She relished this moment more than any other, as a powerful being vanished into nothingness to become part of her.
“But at least you’ll be a beautiful part of me, so don’t feel too bad!”
Crunch.
The sound of his head being devoured was the last of him; Lian was completely consumed without a trace left behind.
‘Ah, what abilities might I gain this time?’
She looked at the hanging sword with an ecstatic expression.
‘It was about the length of a dagger last time, wasn’t it?’
She chuckled lightly, holding a blade that was too short to be a longsword but slightly too long to be a dagger.
T h is wa s c o p ie d fr o m k i n g m t l. o rg
‘Maybe I should test it in the training hall?’
Planning to limber up after such a long break, she prepared to leave the room – or at least she intended to.
Bang!
Just as she was about to exit, her pinky toe fatefully collided with the door’s edge. Usually, it would have caused a slight pain, but today, her toe was crushed, bringing an excruciating surge of pain.
“Grrrgh, keh!”
T h is was co p i e d f r o m k in g m t l . o r g
As she grimaced in pain, a torrent of blood gushed from her mouth. Bianca’s eyes began to shake wildly.
“What, what the hell?”
She had merely stubbed her pinky toe, yet blood poured forth. This was impossible.
“What is going on…?”
Bianca, pale as a ghost from the extraordinary volume of blood she vomited, stumbled backward.
Clang!
“Ah!”
Backing away, she accidentally knocked over a weapon stand. Various arms scattered across the floor. The sound of sharp weapons rolling brought her to the senses.
‘That’s right, it must be because I swallowed such a strong being.’
Trying to quell her rising panic, she attempted to put the fallen weapons back in their place. As she stepped forward, she accidentally trod on the tip of a sword, sending it sliding and causing her to fall backward.
T h i s w a s c o p i e d f r om k i n g mtl . o r g
“Uh…?”
Various weapons lay hazardously in the direction she was falling.
Thump!
The blade of a hooked sword pierced through the sole of Bianca’s foot and protruded out the top.
“Aghhh!”
She screamed as she fell sideways, the handle of the embedded blade knocking down another stand. Above her, a mass as large as an orc’s head plummeted down.
“Just…gah!”
The heavy metal struck her head, and blood gushed from her nose. Bianca, unable to comprehend the situation, fought to keep her rolling eyes focused.
‘What’s happening to me?’
One incomprehensible event after another, she was at the brink of insanity.
Thump! Bang! Thud!
“Gough, gasp…aack!”
Like a rehearsal on stage, Bianca became ragged, stepping and being struck by one dropped weapon after another. She tumbled out of the armory as if thrown.
Thi s wa s c o pi e d f r o m k i n g m t l . o r g
“Heave, cough…”
She gasped for breath, more wounded than she had ever been in a fight with a champion.
‘I’m going to die at this rate!’
She stood up, swaying, feeling the warm blood streaming continuously from her body.
‘Wait… what’s going on…?’
Her gaze drifted from the pool of blood at her feet to the armory. Inside, covered in blood as if ten people had been slaughtered there, it was a state beyond comprehension.
“What on earth…? What’s happening?”
Bianca, who had inadvertently ingested the ‘gag filter’ along with Lian, couldn’t make heads or tails of her current predicament.
Already accustomed to the gag filter, Lian would have found all this trivial, but for Bianca, who was experiencing it firsthand, nothing made sense. This incomprehension was as terrifying as the events themselves.
“I need to get treatment…treatment first!”
She called out, stumbling toward the living room, which seemed peaceful as if nothing had happened.
Th i s w a s c o p i e d f r om k in g m t l . org
Yet even this tranquility felt terrifying for Bianca. It felt as if something else was bound to occur at any moment.
“Before something else weird happens, I need to get treated as quickly as possible –…”
In the world ruled by a gag, when you worry about something and say it out loud, that very thing happens.
Swoooosh!
The scary sound echoed as soon as her words ended.
Thwack!
“Oof…”
A spear flew in through the window and pierced through her stomach, exiting out the back. It happened in an instant.
T h i s wa s co p i e d f r om kin g m t l . or g
“Urgh, grrr… I don’t want to die.”
As Bianca screamed, clutching the spilling blood and organs, one of the organs spoke – yes, the organs.
“Ah, nuts! Who do you think you are touching me without gloves?”
A piece of organ, resembling Bianca’s features, hurled profanities at her. Bianca just stared blankly at her own insides.
“Over there, too, pick up that piece! Aren’t you, the body owner, supposed to take care of us, doing all the work inside? How could you have a hole in your stomach? I want compensation for this!”
Th i s w a s co p ied f r o m k in g m t l .o rg
“If you’re going to wrap that bandage, can you use the premium stuff? I’m pretty sensitive.”
The voices full of conceit jarred Bianca’s senses.
‘What’s happening? Why am I not dying? And what’s with this conversation? Are my organs talking? How? Shouldn’t they die once they’re out of me? How can they talk? And where do they even have mouths?’
Unable to process the string of nonsensical events, her mind began to malfunction as if broken. Her brain, rather than expending energy to comprehend the situation, more wisely jumped to a conclusion.
‘It’s a dream, right? It has to be?’
Otherwise, it didn’t make sense that her organs would talk and that she would still breathe easily despite a gory stomach wound.
‘Yes, it must be that –.’
T h i s w as co p i e d f ro m k i n gm t l . o r g
Before she could finish her thought.
“Bianca?”
“…?!”
A familiar voice resounded. Bianca’s eyes quickly scanned the surroundings.
“Bianca, when can I leave?”
“Where… where is that coming from?!”
Her voice shook as she searched, but the source of the voice remained unseen.
“Huh? Oh, from inside Bianca’s stomach.”
“What…?”
She looked down at her stomach.
“Did you eat chicken yesterday? It’s melting over there.”
The voice was coming from her… upper abdominal area. And it was from Lian whom she had swallowed.
