and losing various things . Now, let’s start . You want to kill mankind right?”“ …”
After finally stopping at the edge of the crater, Creasyl headed back to before Setsu with one step .
Touma, seeing the spectacle of Setsu sending Creasyl flying, was reflexively taken aback .
“Amazing… He blew away Creasyl that far with one blow…”
“I have trained him after all, of course he would”
“Wh-!? You’re?”
“I am the G.o.d of destruction, Destroia . The G.o.d who formed a pair with Creasyl . As for my position, I would be your allies . Now, let me see that girl’s body”
Destroia went down on her knees beside the collapsed Yuuhi .
Yuuhi continuously breathed heavily and she has fallen into a state where she could hardly be called conscious .
She was wandering around the s.p.a.ce between life and death, where she could die before long .
“――――I see, it is compensation for using too much of her life . She will not hold for long like this”
“… Can she be saved?”
Advertis.e.m.e.nt“Let me try”
Destroia put her hand on Yuuhi’s body .
Black light leaked from there and began to wrap up Yuuhi’s whole body .
(She overused its destructive properties… And the compensation for that is the destruction of her body’s const.i.tution . That she hadn’t destroyed her internal organs is preferable . I can rescue her in any case, but――――hm?)
As she probed into Yuuhi’s body, she noticed a certain something .
(Hum… This girl surprised me . Just when I thought I felt miniscule amount of divine powers, she is a human who received that one’s divine protection . It would seem only her life has been protected by that divine protection . Of course she lived in this body)
“Say, will she really be alright!?”
“Ah, yes! I will heal her immediately even if you are not worrying about her . My powers are the destruction of all creation! This will be done if I just destroy the ‘compensation’ itself that she is bearing”
“Destroy the ‘compensation’?”
Immediately following that, the sound of something breaking resounded in Touma’s ears .
The sound was seemingly heard from Yuuhi’s body, so Touma observed her body .
“Wh”
Thereupon, the carbonisation surrounding Yuuhi’s whole body returned to her original skin in the blink of an eye .
Her expression too turned calm and she completely regained consciousness in the end .
“Hn… huh…?”
“You’re awake . You should not move for the time being . Your magic power and physical strength has yet to return after all” “What- what about Yuki-kun…!”
Yuuhi grasped at Destroia .
While looking surprised, Destroia requested Touma for a.s.sistance .
“Hey . If you’re looking for Setsu, he’s there”
“Ah…”
Touma forcibly tore off Yuuhi from Destroia and pointed towards the center of the crater .
Seeing Setsu there, Yuuhi stroked down her chest as if relieved .
“I’m so glad… it’s really Yuki-kun…”
Tears began to flow after some delay, and Yuuhi then wiped those away .
“I, I have to go back him up!”
“You should stop that”
“Eh?”
Destroia stopped Yuuhi from trying to get up .
“The battle starting from now on is not a matter you humans can step into . If you do not want to die in vain, stay put and watch them here”
“But! Even Yuki-kun is a human――――”
“That is not correct”
Destroia denied Yuuhi’s words before she finished saying everything .
Yuuhi felt the significance of her clearly different atmosphere from her att.i.tude .
“Watch it properly . That is a fight between inhuman beings”
“So you have cast away your humanity”
“I guess . I gave it a go in order to kick your a.s.s, you know? Got nothing to say about that?”
“I shall say that you are a fool . Because――――”
――――while it may be true that you have hastily acquired divine powers, you will not reach a G.o.d .
Creasyl unleashed a fist onto Setsu’s body .
Setsu grasped that and grandly held up his other arm .
“Who won’t reach G.o.ds you say?”
“Wh!”
“Take this!”
With the arm he held up, he hit Creasyl flying in the face .
Instantly closing in on Creasyl who was sent flying again, Setsu held her head and slammed her against the ground .
“Come on, try telling me where I can’t reach . You d.a.m.ned G.o.d!”
“You…!”
Creasyl kicked Setsu in the flank and blew his whole body away .
As he managed to stop after bouncing on the ground a few times, Setsu sneeringly smiled seeing Creasyl with a look of anger .
“Nice one, that uncomposed face of yours! I’ve always wanted to see that face, you know!”
“You inseect!”
Creasyl and Setsu approached each other and simultaneously sent out their fists .
Both caught each other’s cheeks, blowing each other away left and right .
At this time, Creasyl was considerably shaken by the fact that she herself was clenching her fist in earnest against a human being .
“What’s wrong, s.h.i.tty G.o.d!? It got no effect, you know!”
“You’re being haughty――――you insect!”
Creasyl put her hands towards the sky .
Upon doing so, tens of thousands of swords appeared on the whole surface above Setsu .
“It is over for you!”
Those swords simultaneously poured down with their tips towards Setsu .
Each one of them a size larger than a greatsword, even the current Setsu would not be able to get out of it safely .
However Setsu, without even showing any particularly fl.u.s.tered behavior, calmly opened his mouth .
“I keep getting underestimated you know――――come! Gluttony!”
When Setsu held his hand up in the air, a part of his black costume detached itself and began to produce a different shape in his hand .
That which held a long and large, beautifully curved blade was something called a scythe .
People’s opinion were split between whether or not to call that, which held a curved grip and a large mouth along the blade, a sickle however――――
“It’s a feast here! Gluttony!”
Towards the skies, Setsu swung Gluttony .
When he did so, the line that Gluttony had traveled dyed black and remained in the air .
The black s.p.a.ce in the air grew large fangs and opened gradually .
The jet black mouth lay in wait for the incessantly raining swords .
“What… is that…”
The mouth that opened in the air ate all of the swords dropping in its range .
Setsu, being under it, was of course uninjured .
He looked at Creasyl with a triumphant expression .
“Thanks for the meal, please ask this guy if it was delicious or not”
“Buurrrrp…”
By the time the mouth that appeared in the air made a burp, every last one of the swords had disappeared .
Setsu put Gluttony on his shoulder and kicked away the swords that were stuck nearby .
He moved Gluttony below the swords dancing in the air, and the sickle ate the falling sword as it is .
“No matter how much you try to create something, this guy will eat every little bit of it . Come without holding back alright”
“――――It would seem that I have not taken you too lightly”
Creasyl glared at Setsu, looking entirely not negligent .
It seems she had finally regained her calmness and had prepared to face the irregular being called Setsu .
“I shall recognize you as an enemy . Introduce yourself”
“Ordering me this late in the game…Well, whatever . It’s Setsu . Starting now I’ll be killing you . Best regards eh”
“G.o.d of creation Creasyl . I shall establish you as a ‘troublesome insect’, and liberate some of my powers to keep you company . Be grateful”
“Well thanks for that!”
Creasyl produced a silver sword in her hands and kicked the ground .
Setsu readied Gluttony and charged .
The two powers collided, and shock flashed――――
