Chapter 53 (1/2)

Shadow

“What a sorry sight, Cancer. To be caught that easily.”

“Shut up. Give me a minute!”

The two of them who talk to each other before my eyes. I'm glad I've made various preparations after the time I heard about Tierra's occupation and saved her.

I was able to predict that like with my time, on the occasion that Tierra who possesses the occupation『Spirit Sorcerer』that's thought to be G.o.d's power was found, the priest would surely report it.

I had thought that somebody will come and catch her as a result of that but, I would never have thought that those who are at the top even in the Holy Kingdom would come. Apparently, that's how afraid the G.o.ddess is of G.o.d's power.

Indeed, Tierra's occupation is outrageous. Although it has only been a few days since I saved her, she has contracted with a fire spirit called Salamander and possesses the abilities above an ordinary magician in the span of that few days.

It's an outrageously good find from my point of view but, I guess it's nothing but a threat from the G.o.ddess' point of view. Hence, she's trying to get rid of the root of the problem before that fellow obtains power. As the G.o.ddess' enemy.

“Well, I am lucky in various ways this time though”

“Aaa! I'm finally got free! You, aren't you too taking it too easy with me as your opponent?”

The guy who breaks my shadow bind and glares at me……aa, how irritating. If you look at me with such eyes, won't I want to quickly kill you.

……Fuu, let's take a deep breath. It won't be interesting if I kill him that simply. But, I wonder how I should kill him. I'm at a loss because there is stabbing to death, strangling to death, poisoning to death, crus.h.i.+ng to death, slas.h.i.+ng to death, and other various ways as well.

“Haaa!”

“Oops!”

As I'm thinking by myself in that manner, the guy who is different from the young guy struck at me. He closes in on me at a considerable speed but I didn't move. No, I didn't need to move.

It's because my sword, Liscia, blocked the guy's fist for me. Nevertheless, she sure looks happy. She disliked paperwork that much huh. However, I only had her go around to have talks instead of sitting on the desk though.

“Kuhahahaha! The true strength of the Twelve Holy Devas after several hundred years, I'll have you show it to me, brat! Just don't disappoint me!”

“You call ME1, brat? ……Don't think you can die easily, female knight!”

The two of them quarrel like that as they steadily leave. Already, only the sounds of combat and Liscia's loud laughter that was echoing underground could be heard.

……I shall have Liscia do work that suits her better from the next time onwards. Un un. I'm looking towards the direction where both Liscia and the guy had disappeared into when

“……Some nerve, you. To ignore ME! I will make you regret it!”

The guy who forcibly broke my sorcery, if I'm not wrong, Cancer, was it. That fellow came towards me. While I'm looking at that fellow and thinking, ‘How energetic huh', I lightly tap my right foot on the ground.

Thereupon, my shadow moves limply and changes shape. It was flat when I was pointing at the shadow on the ground but, it changed into three dimensional and what appeared was a featureless black human-shaped shadow.

“Keep him company, Devil's ShadowDoppelganger”
