Chapter 35 (1/2)

The Conclusion of the Incident

He thought that it was a mess.

He also thought that it was a joke.

The matter of this time was supposed to be perfect.

Together with his talent and those who shared the same idea, the resurrection of that person was supposed to come true.

And this time, it was supposed to be accomplished by them.

They crawled on the ground like incompetent garbage, but now it was the time for them.

But… but…!

”Because of you… because of you…!” (Albert)

”You're so noisy. You're just blabbering, so how about stop doing that? Or perhaps I should say, if you want to talk, can you talk something more meaningful. Rather than the words you spoke were meaningless, there is not much meaning for you to be alive.” (Soma)

”You b.a.s.t.a.r.d…!” (Albert)

That word was completely stopped.

Albert never went all out until now.

If he did so, it would be definitely become a troublesome matter.

But, he didn't care about such a thing anymore.

He unlocked the whole body limiter, and magic was overflowed to the surroundings.

With that much of magic gathered, it was highly possible to slaughter whole army…

”Die…!” (Albert)

He hurled everything toward the one before him, but that everything was erased in an instant.

”Wha, it can't be… such a thing, it is not possible…!?” (Albert)

There was no way it was possible.

And there was no reason for that.

”Something like this is…!” (Albert)

While screaming, Albert hurled his magic with full power.

Aina was simply staring at the scene before her.

She felt like she was dreaming… No, she even wondered if it was real.

Honestly, she was about to die earlier and that made her wonder if it was a dream.

Because it was too convenient.

He came to help at such an exquisite timing… Moreover, he was at least on par with the Demon Heavenly Generals.

…Well, Aina suddenly thought about it.

…Because it was Soma after all.

”Absurd… this is really absurd…! Why… why are you disturbing us in the first place…!” (Albert)

”No, even if I want to tell you the reason, I don't know any. I don't even know what you were trying to do. …But you hurt my sister and my friend, who is my magic s.h.i.+shou. That's a good reason to bury you.” (Soma)

When Aina listened to his words about her being his magic s.h.i.+shou, her mouth became slightly loosened.

Even if he said that, Aina hadn't done anything.

However, she thought of another thing at the same time.

This was an incredibly convenient sight which looked like a dream but… she was thinking here and there, regardless of what it was, she believed in Soma.

Otherwise, such a thing like the act of using magic just before losing consciousness when she was kidnapped wouldn't happen right away, and she also wouldn't be able to maintain it all the time.

Besides, once she noticed all that, she was able to accept this convenient scene.

To accept it… and not doing anything, Aina just continue looking at such a sight.

Because it was not necessary to do anything, not even a bit.

So, while solely staring at Soma's back, Aina waited until this was over.

Previously, Camilla used to see battles between the Demon Heavenly Generals and her.

The last incident was in a battle more than a decade ago.

Camilla had never forgotten about that time.

She was a frontline fighter, and it was impossible to see it from the rear.

It wasn't possible to forget.

And perhaps, that was the crucial moment when Camilla's heart gave in.

No matter how much effort she put, she didn't believe that she could reach that degree.

She gave up as she thought so.

It was also the reason why Camilla was a skill appraiser for a long time.

It was a way chosen to run away from the reality, and in fact she ran further away than that.

So, in the depths of Camilla's heart, the inferiority complex that overwhelmed her…

”Uhh, this is not possible… there is no way this is possible… this brat… b.a.s.t.a.r.d… you b.a.s.t.a.r.d… I am…!” (Albert)

”If you are going to keep talking like that, you will be forever at that extent.” (Soma)

Camilla was stunned looking at such a scene.

This battle was no less than the battle at that time.

With ice, fire… lightning, and wind…

Everything was raging from all directions… and the one facing all that was a small boy.

It was a scene where some would be waiting in despair no matter how one looked at it.

In his hands, there were a wooden stick and an iron bar.

However, in such a situation, the boy didn't destroy the usual irreverent att.i.tude.

Every magic that was hurled toward that boy as if to say that it was a proper thing to do, but he didn't advanced one step ahead as if a line was drawn.

It seemed like there was a barrier laid, and it was probably true.

The barrier of the sword.

Anything that was rampaging from left and right was suppressed by sword flas.h.i.+ng.

It was such an expected sight.

Moreover, as much as to say that there was an additional gain, the body of the opponent was cut little by little. It was like being trimmed.

If Soma wanted to do it, it wouldn't finish with that extent, but the result was clear when a certain time pa.s.sed.

The strength difference was way too obvious.

The man kept showing various emotions on his darkish face.

”Well, have you reflected enough? Have you despaired? …Then, just go away. Of course, to the other world… However, if you want to commit suicide, I won't stop you.” (Soma)

”…You, b.a.s.t.a.r.d… you make fun of me…!” (Soma)
