Highest SituationThe corpses of the four adventurers, their bodies were scattered everywhere.
Shirbenia and Renzou were collapsed..
Akyama Shuu.
Isagi doubted his eyes.
Bloodstained Shuu looked at Isagi.
[ Shuu, you…..] - Isagi
Isagi carefully asked him a question.
Why in the world is Shirbenia collapsed here?
[I thought that it would be either Yoshin.o.bu-kun or Dyutyu-san who would come here.
[ Shuu!] - Isa
He stabbed his sword into Renzou’s palm.
It seemed that Renzou is still alive.
At the same time, Shirbenia was also still twitching occasionally.
It was likely that they were killed so many times, that it exceeded the power of the revival stone to revive them again.
There was several other things that were weird.
Though he wanted longer to think, Isagi slowly took a breath.
After all, Shirbenia-chan would have become a big threat to me. Right?] - Shuu
Isagi clenched his fist tightly.
[ what if I did?]-Shuu
Why did you do this, Shuu?!] -Isagi
He didn’t look any different from his usual self.
[Does Isa-kun think that the Demon Lord army will win if it remains like this?] - Shuu
Do not go against someone who is strong. There is nothing a small weak army can do to a large army. Okay?] - Shuu
[You wouldnt mind losing some things
right , Isa-kun?] - Shuu
With his usual gentle-like tone, Shuu spit out those sharp words.
You think that too, right?] - Shuu
[It’s okay. Even I know such a thing is okay.
It was too fast to come to a conclusion.
[ Then I have decided.
I will cast away the demon race, and then attach myself to the adventurer"s side.
I will go down the road that I myself decide.
Isagi felt an uncomfortable feeling looking at Shuu’s condition.
Shuu indeed was awe-inspiring, but……
[ …… Please wait a moment , Shuu.
[Of course.
[No, it’s not like that]
Isagi lightly brushed off his hand, and then glared at Shuu.
[ If you think of doing it,
Why didn’t you do it earlier?
[ …. ]
Shuu squinted his eyes.
[ It’s just the problem with the timing.
After all, the Demon Emperor got defeated, and the demon race were cornered. Right?
For a country or two to get destroyed, isn’t that a common thing in history. Right?
It’s better to follow the strong, so that we can live in security.
[ …. Is that true?]-Isagi
While on it, I was thinking of bringing the Demon Lord’s neck as a present you know.
Isagi pointed at the two who were collapsed below him.
[ …. If that’s true, then why are Renzou and Shirbenia still alive]
As if he had already prepared an answer for that question, Shuu answered immediately.
[ It’s because Isa-kun appeared the moment that I wanted to finish them off ] - Shuu
[ If I didn"t kill them properly, then they would come back alive after all.] - Shuu
If it’s with words, Shuu won’t take off his mask.
He has to quickly take care of Renzou and Shirbenia.
[ If it’s about me hiding something, I think that you are also doing the same. Right?
Even though I thought that we’re friends]-Shuu
Isagi breathed a sigh.
Let’s restart.
If he needs too, towards Renzou and also Shirbenia, he will lie to them.
No matter how it is, I also vaguely realized it. You know?
If we join forces, I think that we will surely be able to have a better life in this world.
It you think that you’re my friend all this time, then let’s go.]
Together with Shuu, casting away everything.
That’s certainly something that seems fun.
However….
[ Shuu]
I was summoned by the Demon race as their savior.
[ ……. Is that so…..
Isagi’s heart ached.
[ Do we really have to fight seriously, Shuu?]
Shuu didn’t say something like 『Let"s save the demon race』or, 『Let"s go back to our world』, but 『Let"s achieve our objective』
Shuu said something like that.
[ Please, Shuu.
Let’s carry on being friends together]
The only time when my heart felt at ease is when I am with you guys]
[ Then]
That time, the two of them realized the road that they choose would never mingle.
This is their last parting ways.
[ …… 『If you want to go then defeat me』, you want to say that?]- Shuu
[ I already thought about this for quite a while, but Isa-kun, has some place that is childish. Right?
[ Shut up. I am self consciousness of my chuunibyou] (TL : chuunibyou : 8th grade syndrome, search google !) (ED: I got you )
When this atmosphere disappears, either one of them will be collapsed here on the ground.
------ At that time, the man with red eyes slowly raised.
Renzou who already lost his consciousness.
[ Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !] - Renzou
He looked the same as Yoshin.o.bu was at that time.
Towards Shuu, Renzou bared his fangs.
[ Renzou !] - Isagi
As Isagi shouted, Shuu raised both of his hands.
This is no good.
Right before the light that Shuu shot touched Renzou, it disappeared.
---- The right moment after the activation of 『Break Tech』is no good.
Isagi tried to twist his body with all his power.
The black magic that Shuu wrote is a simple one..
That black magic grazed his head.
From Isagi’s cheek, blood started to trickle down.
Though Isagi became alert, the pursuit form Shuu didn’t come.
Shuu, looked at isagi and then knitted his eyebrows.
[ You use a really weird power eh, Isa-kun, but it seems that it is different from a sealing tech … ]
It was not black magic. It was 『Witchcraft』
Akayama Shuu, he is a sorcerer.
No one knew when he awoke to the power.
A sorcerer is someone dangerous.
If this keeped on going like this, Isagi had to break his friend’s legs to stop him moving.
The two boys were facing each other..
However, that atmosphere was destroyed by sudden black magic that once again came.
Right now, Shirbenia was collapsed at this place. The castle’s condition was bare without her protection.
He used break tech in succession.
Every single bit of it.
For Isagi’s body who is the host of that power, the effect of the break tech is the most effective.
For quite a while, right after he activated that power, Isagi’s physical power is no different than that of a normal person.
Perhaps he unconsciously did that, but this was a rare opportunity for that to happen.
On his right hand was a sword and on his left hand was black magic.
[ Sorry, Isa-kun] - Shuu
His sword was dancing and fire was flying.
[ If you want to apologize, don’t do this kind of thing from the start]
As he did, he punched Shuu in the face.
Though it couldn’t make Shuu faint in one hit, it did blow Shuu away and made him slide on the ground.
[ Shuu …..]- Isagi
Toward Isagi who approached step by step, he raised his hand.
Again, another chain shot out from his other hand, and flew to the back.
Using black magic and witchcraft at the same time was extremely hard, even for Plea who was a sorcerer.
Isagi knows that even she would have trouble doing something like that in such a short time.
Those things flew at Isagi’s face and he evaded it by bending his torso.
He evaded it again by rolling onto the ground.
Chains of light.
Chains followed him from behind grazing the places he stepped.
Clenching his fist, Isagi jumped almost right in front of Shuu’s face.
Isagi was faster.
However, Shuu’s body slid back with an amazing speed.
If it keeped going like this then he wouldn’t be able to evade being burned to black.
With his hand, Isagi destroyed the black magic and then he dashed towards Shuu.
The black magic that Shuu shot twinkled behind Isagi.
His fist met with Shuu’s stomach.
[ Iraaaa ! ] - Isagi
As he shouted, he sent Shuu flying, but Shuu jumped back at the time of the impact. The attack wasn’t able to hit him with a fatal impact.
While wrapping around some kind of stone, the other chain also disappeared.
Though there was some blood flowing, it wasn’t a big injury.
However, he ended up letting Shuu slip away.
Isagi pressed his left eye due to the pain.
If he at least had a sword.
----- He would be able to kill Shuu
…… No, he wondered would he be able to do it?
Making a dull sound, his forehead cracked.
Between his eyebrows, blood started to trickle down.
[ …… Shuu. The next time we meet, I’ll also resolve myself you know? …. ]-Isagi
A sorcerer who possessed a forbidden tech,
At that place, Isagi threw down his body.
He was tired, but he had to treat Renzou and Shirbenia.
I wonder if it has to become like this. We are …..
On the horizon, the sun slowly sunk as the day was coming to an end.
Isagi’s fight didn’t even take a day.
A lot of corpses were piled up, but even so, the one who was still able to stand until the end,
was the boy who was once called the human race’s strongest.
> Rimino: Serious wound
> Ira: Condition Unknown
> Renzou: Serious wound
> Shuu: Estrangement.
> Isagi: Almost unwounded.
Renzou: Got done in by a surprise attack. Weak.
Shuu: While he was a sorcerer, he was also a forbidden tech user. A boy with a lot of mysteries. Has the will to become stronger.
Isagi: Chuuni-king. Strong ( Conviction)
