Chapter 159 - Allen Cell and Political Marriage [10] (2/2)

「I see…」

Apparently, he really doesn’t know anything about Zerey.

(In other words, he was one-sidedly known by the other party. Is Zeon a famous spirit core among the demons…?)

When I was thinking about that,

「Oi… I’ve got something to ask you too.」

How unusual for that guy to bring up a subject.

「Y-Yeah. Ask me anything.」

Albeit being slightly surprised by the unexpected development, I encouraged the question.

「Hey, shitty brat… How long are you going to swim at the『surface』?」

「…Surface?」

I truly didn’t understand what Zeon was trying to say.

「You desperately fought and snatched『just a little』of my power away, but why aren’t you using it properly… Aa?」

「…Eh? No, I am properly using your darkness and your Black Sword, right?」

Zeon sighed loudly when I answered.

「Haa… Are you stupid? Open your eyes and ascertain the『true nature of that power』. If you don’t grow up, I’m the one who’ll be in a lot of trouble… you hear me!!?」

「!?」

At the same time as he shouted, I reflexively kicked the ground and jumped far backwards.

The next moment, a black flash ran right before my nose tip.

(Damn…!)

If my reaction was delayed by even 0.1 seconds, I would’ve reached Buddha.

「Let’s end the useless talk here. If you don’t bring out your sword, it’ll be over in an instant, ya know?」Zeon said, and clad himself in a terrifyingly cold darkness.

Before I knew it, the Black Sword was in his hand.

It seems that he has decided to kill me regardless of what I have to say.

「Damn, so this is what it always comes down to…」

I immediately stretched my hand into the empty space

「Destroy -〈Zeon〉!」

I gripped the exact same jet-black sword as that guy.

「…Here I come, Zeon!」

「Come already, I’ll beat you to death thoroughly…!」

In this way, a serious match between me and Zeon began for the first time in a long time.
