Chapter 54 (1/2)

The Cause Of Everything

The magic power that swells up engulfs Cancer and changes his appearance. Four large wings grow on his back and his hands are changing into something like a crab's pincers. Cancer who flutters his large wings and hovers in the sky.

“Kukuu, with this power that I received from the G.o.ddess, with an angel's power, I'll kill you!”

Cancer who flies about while saying that. That appearance is an angel? If that's an angel then even a goblin is an angel. Scattering that d.a.m.n filthy magic power about. I'm rejecting that magic power's aura for some reason. Is it because I heard that it's the G.o.ddess' power?

Cancer who flies about buzzingly like a fly. I had thought that I could have some fun and whatnot but, that magic power is really unpleasant. Maybe due to the Male G.o.d's power that's within me, I get irritated just thinking that that G.o.ddess' magic power is wafting in this s.p.a.ce.

……change of plan. I'll quickly kill him. I make the Devil's Shadow fall back and activate The Sun Of ErosionEclipse Sol around myself. In total, 8 roughly 10cm spheres float around me.

“Die!”

Cancer closes in on me while flying in the air irregularly. With the pincers that were created by magic power, he releases slas.h.i.+ng attacks at me like just now.

Slas.h.i.+ng attacks that come down at me like the rain, it comes down at me so much so that I don't even have any opening to avoid it but, leaving all the slas.h.i.+ng attacks to Eclipse Sol, I look at Cancer's movement unmovingly.

The spheres react to any magic power that gets close and move accordingly so they are moving hurriedly before my eyes. After a while of doing that, I got used to Cancer's movements. It's about time for me to get to work huh.

I furthermore activate spheres in both my hands and change their shapes. The two spheres unite and stretch. And then what appeared was a jet black scythe. I was being conscious of, ‘reaping his life', so this scythe came out.

Holding the scythe that reflects nothing but black, I head towards Cancer. Cancer looks at such me and starts to laugh mockingly. I suppose that in all likelihood, he's thinking that I won't reach him who's flying in the air.

Is that fellow an idiot. If I won't reach him then there are ways of doing things without reaching him but, I am obviously heading towards him because I will reach him though.

I direct my consciousness to the spheres for them come along around me as I head towards him. I leave behind three spheres that are moving to react and defend against the slas.h.i.+ng attacks that are being released at me even now and move about three of them with my own consciousness.

I stop the three spheres in front of and slightly higher than me and change their shapes. Their shapes were changed into like a flat disk and they were flying in the air. About 60cm in diameter, I jump towards it. I get on top of the disk as it is and jump even more. This is the method I came up with to use against air battle.

‘If I can't fly, I can just make footholds in the air', type of brute force technique though. It's steady as a foothold nevertheless so it's plenty usable.

I move the three disks forward and upward little by little and I jump on top of them. Doing that over and over again, I close in on Cancer. Cancer was surprised and tries to get away but, I am faster than him.

I raise the scythe overhead and, maybe because he thought he can't avoid it, Cancer crosses both arms and tries to block the scythe.

However, this scythe is a weapon I derived and made from Eclipse Sol. Naturally, it possesses the ability to react to magic power, and it also possesses the sharpness that is enough to cut off a sharp sword even as a scythe.

The scythe I swung down felt pretty much no resistance as it cuts off both Cancer's arms that were crossed. As a result of the overwhelming sharpness, blood did not immediately spew from the freshly cut arm and Cancer was making a curious face since there is seemingly no pain but, it seems the pain gradually came and he began to scream.

I ignore that voice, did a front flip with the momentum from swinging scythe, and with the hand that is holding the b.u.t.t of the scythe, I strike Cancer down. Because I struck Cancer's face vertically, Cancer falls face first to the ground.

A shadow I created was waiting with its arms spread wide open at where Cancer is falling towards. And then, it catches Cancer from behind and

“Gaa!?”

Sharp thorns sprouted from Cancer's chest one after another. The shadow changed a portion of its body and sprouted thorns. And then those thorns pierced into Cancer's back and out his chest.

Although Cancer struggles in an attempt to remove the thorns, the shadow's grip is stronger so the wounds are just widening. Cancer's strength gradually fades and in the end, he stopped moving in a state where it's like he's stuck on the thorns.
