Vol 1 Chapter 18 (1/2)
Fighting against a Devil
In the past, there had been no cases of a hu into a devil
Demonization had only occurred to aniic power turned into deht that we humans were a special existence
That’s hen a huo, people were shocked
Humans were of no exception
Everyone received an incredible shock that humans could also become devils And because of the threat that they themselves could turn into devils, they became tremendously desperate
That oician who perceived the ical power, planted fear into the ordinary people
It had overflowing ic power, uses no chants, had no restrictions, and wildly raed about
Although Earlshi+de Kingdoate the devil, the only result was an increased amount of victims
In the end, the ones that were able to subjugate hii Merlin and his partner, Melinda, who then became known as Heroes
Because of that event, these two people were respected as Heroes even until now
In front of my eyes was Cart, who had turned into a devil
He was clad in an oical power, a peculiar characteristic of demons What had been the white portion of his eyes had turned deep red, and he stood still in place while gazing at empty space
This scene was viewed by everyone as in close proximity, and those who had never seen a devil before were coasted Well, of course it’s the first tihted a devil, since it was an extremely rare case
Er, this is not the tis!
“Run away everyone!! That guy turned into a Goddae if you continue to stay here!!”
Those words were able to return the students to their senses
“U-uaaaaahhh!! Devil! Did he just say a Devil!?”
“We have to run away ! We have to run away ! We have to run away ! We have to run away!”
“He-he, someone please help meeee!!”
“KYAAAaaaaa!!”
While trying to escape, everyone was screa in confusion
That will be fine If everyone who escapes starts to spread the word, the information will be transmitted
The probleuy…
“Gus, you should escape as well”
“shi+n, you… No way!?”
“Aah, I’ll somehow try to stop him”
“Don’t be stupid! You should escape too!!”
Although Gus yelled at me, I didn’t hear it
“That guy will probably not stop here, and as a devil, he ht attack the Royal Capital And thus, I cannot leave him alone”
“Then ill stay as well!!”
“As people who have never hunted a single de!!”
Although I feel regretful towards Gus, I need him to evacuate
“shi+n… are we… a hindrance?”
“… Yeah, you guys are a hindrance”
“…Is that so…”
Gus bit his tightened lips, and turned around
“Everyone, let’s escape from here!”
“No way! How can we leave shi+n-kun alone in this place!!”
“It’ll be fine, just focus on escaping! Even if we stay here, we’ll only be a burden!”
“But!”
“Meshi+na! Don’t let go of Claude even if you have to drag her along with you!!”
“Ye-yes!!”
“Nooo! shi+n kun! shi+n kun!!”
Gus and the others have finally evacuated With this, at last…
“It’s about time I take action Cart”
After turning into devil, Cart, who had been standing still and staring at empty space, finally looked my way…
“GOWAAAaaaaah !!!!!”
Once he discharged his ic, he headed towards me
While Cart was on his way to where I was, I bombarded him with Fire Bullets
When the Fire Bullets hit Cart, without confir the outcome I circled around Cart’s back, drew the Vibration Sword, and slashed horizontally I was so glad I earing my Jet Boots
SLAsh!+
There was some resistance! Where was it? Where did I cut him?
When I e from the Fire Bullets all over his body, and his left arm appeared to have been severed from above his elbow
“GYAAAaaaa!! WALFORD! YOU bastard! YOU BassSSTAAARRRDdddddd!!!”
At this time, I felt a sense of discomfort
Walford? He called out my name? Is there a part of his consciousness left in him?
“I’LL KILL YOU! I’LL DEFINITELY KILL YOU ! WALFORDddd!!”
At the sa, he produced a cluster of Fireballs
“Tsk!”
In order to obstruct the Fireballs, I created a ic barrier
“UWaaahh, HOT!”
Daic, it doesn’t prevent the heat My face is burning!
“This—!”
Because it was excessively hot, I created a blade made out of water
SLASH, SLASH, SLAsh!+
The water blade started slashi+ng towards Cart
“Why you… How dare You! HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU!”
I rushed towards Cart with both the Vibration Sword and the Water Blade at hand Then, I sliced at Cart’s reht arm
“This is…”
Is this the end of it?
That’s what I thought after looking at Cart’s bloody appearance
Certainly, compared to the demonized animals I’ve slayed before, rather than a wolf or a bear, he is forer However…
KABOOOooOOOOOM!!!
Cart used explosion ht arm was suddenly torn off, and exploded into a thousand pieces
“As I thought… this guy, he isn’t thatdeal, is he?”
While fighting Cart who had turned into a devil, I felt uneasy
He’s way too weak
I had heard that when the human turned into a devil in the past, he had ruined a country However, this guy, although he’s strong, doesn’t give the feeling of despair
In the first place, was it really that easy for a human to turn into a devil?
It gives an unco
There are so s that feel too out of place in this incident What the hell is going on?
“AAAAaaaAAAAAAaaahhHHHHHHH!!!”
Tsk! This is bad! His ic power increased even further!!
Magic power began to swirl around Cart This is… is he going to self- destruct!?
If he accidentally discharges such great ic power, this whole area will be bloay!!
If I don’t stop him now… it’ll be bad!
“CAAAaaaRRRRrrrrTTT !!”
I rushed towards Cart while brandishi+ng the Vibration Sword, ai towards the nape of his neck
SLAsh!+
After I swung the Vibration Sword, I put some distance between us in preparation for any accidental discharge
I looked at Cart who appeared to have stopped , and…
Wobble
Cart’s head fell… and his body also fell soon after
Thud
I confiric power had dispersed, and Cart’s body had stopped …
“Phe…”
I let out a big sigh Then I examined Cart, who had become a corpse
Now that I thought about it, this was the first tih he was a person that had turned into a devil… there was no feeling of guilt…
I wonder if it was because of that? Because I’ve regularly hunted anihout the forest? I wonder if I have beco lives?
Because of that thought, I looked at Cart’s corpse with cos…
“shi+n-kun!!!”
Sicily ca towards me
“Hey! Sicily! Did you not evacuate with everyone!?”
“shi+n-kun! Are you alright!? Are you injured anymore!?”
Sicily ca my body here and there
Gus and the others also showed up, and so I asked Gus
“You guys… did you guys not evacuate?”
“Ye-yeah… But just as ere about to exit the ground, we suddenly heard this a sound… so we turned around…”
Then, he cut off his words and looked at Cart
“…It was our first ti a devil… and atched in astonishment as you overwhelmed him… and then he was taken down just like that…”
When I looked around, I saw that everyone had a complicated expression
“Nevertheless… I still find it unbelievable, even until now Since Cart had turned into a devil, I thought it was already hopeless…”
“Even I, myself, had already prepared for my death”
“Walford-kun was really a”
“That’s right! What was that? Even though your ic talent is tremendous, you were also able to cut the devil’s arm with a sword!”
“It was a spectacular display of swordsozaru In this case, wouldn’t he also qualify in the Knight Military Training Acadearu?”
“That’s right! Even I have never seen my Father nor my older brother display such beautiful swordsmanshi+p”
“Walford-kun, as expected, is an a person?”
It looked like the tension had evaporated Everyone started speaking unanimously Meanwhile, only Gus remained silent
“Gus, what’s wrong?”
“H that it’ll be problematic from now on”
“What do you mean?”
“You’re not self-conscious, are you? A devil has appeared, you know?”
“Ah… That’s right”
“This is the second time in history a devil has appeared This catastrophe alone will shake the entire country Moreover… this easily…”
While Gus was in the icians all gathered, and summoned the students
“Prince Augusto!! Are you injured in any way!?”
