Chapter 398
(398) Spell that signals the start of the world
Translator: Tseirp
“Setolance-senpai! How did you come here?”
“Ichinosuke has my blessing . It’s easy to determine his location . ”
Divine blessing … I believe I received Setolance-sama’s blessing at Dakyat .
“Well, that’s a waste of a world . There is a crack in the sh.e.l.l of the world . ”
At the same time the noise from the ground stopped, rifts appeared all over the white world, and I began to see the everlasting darkness s.p.a.ce that I just pa.s.sed through with Libra-sama .
I didn’t want to imagine what would happen when that spreads .
“Ichinosuke, sorry but bring us to My World too . ”
Setolance-sama grabbed the spear with Tet-sama pierced on it and stretched her hand out to me .
“But Alpha-san is still in this s.p.a.ce . ”
“I don’t like it either but we do not have the leeway to save a single homunculus . Hurry!”
“ … Understood . ”
I nodded and took Setolance-sama’s hand while holding Libra-sama and chanted 「Home Return」 .
I watched a world perish as I chanted my spell .
We returned to My World .
Haa, I’m tired .
But, Setolance-sama is here now .
Just like how it ended when she came over during the incident with the Salamander, it should all end now too .
“Onii welcome home … it has turned into another outrageous situation . ”
“Miri, greet the G.o.ddess-samas properly . ”
“Yeah, it’s been a long time, Setolance . And Libra too . As for Tet … it’s the first time we’ve met but she’s not in a condition to exchange greetings . She’s truly become something terrible . ”
Miri met Setolance-sama and Libra-sama before?
Well, after being a Demon Lord for hundreds of years, many things probably happened .
“Terrible? … Did you forget when you used to do?”
Libra-sama’s eyes thinned as she chided Miri .
“I didn’t forget it and it doesn’t relate to what is happening now –”
While Miri was talking, the Dark-Elves who didn’t partic.i.p.ate in the battle at Mallegory noticed the abnormality and started gathering .
“Hey, are those G.o.ddesses!?”
“It’s true, it is Setolance-sama, Libra-sama – and even Tet-sama . ”
“You guys, take Fuyun and Desert Runner and evacuate as far as possible! This is not a joke!”
““Yes!””
Miri shouted and the Dark-Elves left as quickly as they could .
When did she gain sovereignty over the Dark-Elves? – She only met them today .
“Hey, isn’t it already too late for that girl – Tet?”
Then, Miri commented as she looked at G.o.ddess Tet’s condition .
“That is not true . It is different this time . ”
Libra-sama said loudly .
“No, I agree with her . It is best to kill Tet here . We are almost running out of time . It will be too late once she continues to be eroded by miasma and awaken as a Demon G.o.d . ”
Demon G.o.d again .
I don’t get it but Tet-sama was suffering because of miasma .
“ – That’s right! If we use Holy Mirror!”
I suggested to Miri .
Just now it was able to repel the miasma sticking to Libra-sama so it should be able to remove the miasma on Tet-sama .
“Onii, you can use Barrier Magic now? But it is useless . That is a spell to prevent the invasion of miasma . It can’t remove miasma once it has entered the body . And it is different from an abnormal condition so Dispel would not work either . ”
Miri said and sighed softly .
“Increasing the number of Demon G.o.ds by one now will only hasten the time before the end of the world so I am okay with either choice… what will it be?”
There’s no way we could reach a conclusion like that .
I thought .
If we remained silent, Setolance-sama would kill Tet-sama .
Then it would end .
Would it end with me doing nothing, incapable of doing anything?
“Tet – I won’t apologize . ”
Setolance-sama said and took out another spear .
A pure red spear that looked like it was burning flames .
“With this spear that condenses the power of the Great Fire Spirit Salamander, your body will be completely burnt and only your soul will return to the ley line . ”
Just as Setolance-sama was about to release her spear .
Miasma overflowed from Tet-sama and formed the shape of a demon .
What is – that?
“The miasma has become a monster, Onii, it’s dangerous –”
A lump of miasma attacked as Miri jumped out to protect me .
“Holy Barrier”
I spread a barrier and prevented the invasion of the miasma .
“I was trying to help but ended up getting helped . ”
“Now is not the time to talk about that – it is not over yet . ”
The miasma blocked by my barrier scattered and formed various monsters .
Furthermore, a monster in the shape of a snake slipped through the barrier .
“Monsters are entering – Slash!”
“It seems that way . Dark Sword!”
We defeated the monsters that entered with sword and spells .
Setolance-sama used the Salamander Spear to thrust at the miasma overflowing from Tet-sama but that only scattered them to form monsters .
Libra-sama was using a mace-like weapon fighting a dragon that just appeared .
She had the advantage but it didn’t look like she could deal a fatal strike .
As I was in thought .
I saw Neete running toward me .
That’s a relief, she’s awake?
She had transformed her hand into giant tongs – and was supporting Libra-sama .
“Neete, capture the dragon!”
I shouted – but she didn’t follow my order .
Neete captured Libra-sama instead .
“Neete! What are you –”
“Onii, behind!”
“Eh?”
I was absorbed in the fight and didn’t notice the presence from behind .
When I turned around, Pionia had me in a Nelson hold .
“Pionia … what are you doing?”
“Onii –”
Miri tried to attack Pionia with her Dark Sword but Pionia used me as a shield and she couldn’t release her attack .
Libra-sama, who was captured by Neete, was tackled by the dragon and was smashed into the ground along with Neete .
“Libra!”
Setolance-sama shouted and stabbed the dragon with her spear .
Libra-sama lost consciousness from that strike but Neete was unharmed .
The homunculus defensive ability was much greater than mine .
“Pionia, let me go! It is an order!”
She didn’t say anything even when I shouted at her .
“Onii, it’s pointless . The two homunculi are currently under Tet’s control . Onii’s voice won’t reach them . ”
“Wha … s.h.i.t, so that’s the reason . ”
Neete said it .
If Tet-sama ever gave the order, she would give that priority and would even betray me .
At that time I was confident it would not happen but it has turned into reality .
“Pionia, I’ll apologize later so prepare yourself now!”
I said as I used my strength to shake free and threw her before sending a Tornado Slash at her at the same time .
But it was not Tornado Slash – I had added Pico Pico Hammer instead .
The pico pico sound effects blew away the serious mood but if it could make Pionia unconscious –
I hoped to myself but that Pionia walked through the tornado unfazed .
d.a.m.n – abnormal status was ineffective on homunculus .
Meanwhile, Neete was approaching us . Her aim was Miri?
It would be hard to support Setolance-sama while ignoring these two .
In that case –
At that moment, she appeared .
“Master, sorry for the wait . ”
Haru sent Pionia flying .
I requested for aid with Kin Message and she appeared in just 5 seconds .
“Is Mallegory safe now?”
“The monsters have stopped sp.a.w.ning so I left the after clean-up to Rarael-san and others . ”
“All right . The situation is as I explained through the message . Keep Pionia away from here!”
“Yes – let’s go, Pionia-san . ”
Haru’s Gale Blade sent Pionia’s body flying off .
The attack didn’t deal any damage but it seemed that she could not negate the force .
All that was left was Neete .
The moment I had that thought .
“I will prove that Cyborgs stand above Homunculus desu!”
Sheena No . 3 stood in front of Neete .
“How dare you do that just now desu!”
“Sheena No . 3! Move your fight to somewhere far!”
“Understood desu! Yah, I’ve been caught desu!”
Sheena No . 3 who appeared was suddenly caught by Neete .
But that seemed to have been Sheena No . 3’s strategy .
“Or not – now, let us go, Onee-san . ”
Sheena No . 3 said and took out a book from her skirt with her free hand .
It was the Book of Heaven and Earth Creation .
A pitfall immediately appeared under her feet .
After Sheena No . 3 and Neete fell down, the hole closed up .
Well, that was a great way to move away from the fight .
Only Tet-sama was left but – the miasma was pushing even Setolance-sama back .
“Hey, what is Onii’s strongest spell?”
“My strongest spell – would be the Ancient Nova that I used to defeat the Leviathan with you … no, if I fuse it with Boost G.o.d Breath – but I don’t have enough MP . ”
Magic fusion would consume more MP than usual .
If I amplified it, the MP consumption would be no joke .
Barrier Magic used more MP than I expected as well .
“All right . Onii, I will shoulder the magical power burden so use that . ”
“Shoulder, you can do that?”
“Of course . We are brother and sister after all?”
Miri smiled .
Brother and sister huh – well, strongest Jobless and strongest former Demon Lord, we are truly the strongest siblings!
Miri grabbed my hand .
And I could tell that her magical power was filling me up .
I pointed my hand in front .
【Skill: Fusion Magic recipe acquired under the effects of x.x.xX】
At that moment – a magic word came to mind along with that message .
As though it was waiting for that moment, the correct name for the fusion magic .
Right … that spell’s name was –
“Boost – Big Bang (Starting the World)!”
The amplified flames and wind fused under Tet-sama and caused a huge explosion .
That blast blew Miri and me away .
Such power . It had the power to greatly change the terrain of My World – I wonder if Sheena No . 3 who was fighting underground safe?
We were not the only ones blown away . The miasma overflowing from Tet-sama got blown away too .
“Well done, Ichinosuke! Now it is my turn!”
Setolance-sama stabbed Tet-sama’s body with the Salamander Spear while enduring the blast .
“Great Flame Spirit! Now is the time your power –”
The world was suddenly plunged into silence,
Ton .
I heard that sound .
In the silence, Setolance-sama looked at her spear – or the remnants of her spear .
Only the part of her spear that pierced Tet-sama remained, it was broken – no, it was cut .
In that silent world, he stood there .
“Thanks – no, that was dangerous – I barely made it . ”
He suddenly cut through s.p.a.ce and appeared .
The black-haired man easily sliced through a spear that was the condensed power of the Salamander . He looked exactly like when I met him in Florence .
And I just recently heard his voice .
“ … Hero Alessio . ”
Miri announced his name .
That’s bad, so he’s Hero Alessio .
