Chapter 111: A natural disaster. (2/2)
Even after the light disappeared, she still kept standing quietly. The moment I was about to ask her if she was fine, she gradually started trembling.
Uoooooooooooooooo!!!
She released a deafening roar. Lina, Sara, and I instinctively blocked our ears with our hands. At the same time, Scala started letting out the same ambiance she had before destroying half a mountain back in our battle. This time, the amount of aura she was exuding was way too much from the one of the last time; a presence Ive never sensed before in my life. What a sound! It could easily damage the eardrums of a normal person. The trees and grass surrounding us reacted to her scream by shaking violently and the waves became more intense.
Hey! Scala! You can do it now!? Hahaha!! I can!! Rather whats this!? This is the first time in my life I felt this exhilarated!! This is way too good!! I cant hold myself back anymore!!
The result was a huge success. Maybe too much for a success. I raised her tension too much that she lost control over herself.
Lina, Sara!! Hold on to me!!
Noticing that Scala was about to explode at any instant, I ordered Sara and Lina to grab me. Both of them seemed to be aware of the severity of the situation and instantly grabbed my hands. We teleported to the sky, far enough from the island. The next thing I saw after teleporting from the island can be best described as a natural calamity.
SUUUBOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNN!!!!
From the place where we were stand to the edge of the island, everything, including the ground, rocks, trees, and surroundings, turned into nothingness. The place which was once an island is now a pit full of dust. The wave motion of the explosion exceeded the island and reached the sea, creating a giant and deep whirlpool in the sea. It looked like a pure cataclysm. As I was gazing at that scenery with my lips twitching, the shock of the explosion reached the height where we teleported and drove us to cover our eyes with our arms and look away. The next time I opened my eyes, there was no longer something as an island in that place.
There was nothing; nothing was left to point at the islands existence. Only random splinters that will soon vanish as well. The place where the island was in got covered by the sea waves, making the place look as if it were like that from the day Earth was created.
W-What the actual This is terrific
Sara and Lina were dropping their jaws in a shock and watching the outcome of the explosion. This is all because of the Tension Up skill that allows its user to raise the tension of the target. I honestly didnt expect it would have this much influence.
Glad this is just an island
I muttered while gazing at the place that was once an island. I cant imagine what might have happened if this was a continent with people living on it. Well, Id never raise Scalas tension if shes somewhere on the Earth where people actually live. It would be a total disaster. Fortunately, this place is quite far from the continent and there are absolutely no victims.
So were going to end up fixing this again It cant be helped. Its our job, after all. Moreover, for Scala-sama, the extent of damage is not big enough, lets just be thankful because she went easy this time.
Gazing at the vanished island, Sara let out a sigh from thinking about the work thats waiting for her after this. Lina, as well, gave up and started thinking positively about the future. Im feeling somewhat sorry for them since it was me who brought up this plan.
Well, uuh, do your best. I will erase the memories of everyone near this place after we close this case. Yeah, thatd be great. Thanks.
When I tried to cheer them up while revealing an awkward smile, the both of them expressed their gratitude with a gloomy face. I need to do at least that much for them. I kind of feel sad just from looking at them now. While we were still gazing at the vanished island for a while, we noticed something in red getting out from the water.
Puhaa!! Aah, I feel refreshed!!
It seemed like Scala was too concentrated on her destruction that she drowned herself in the sea. She came out from beneath the sea with a refreshed expression. I wonder why is she feeling this happy while the three of us here are going through a depressive time. This is the last time Im casting my Tension Magic on her. Nothing good comes out of it. Im even feeling sorry for Germa who died anticlimactically from her total and absolute destruction.
That was anticlimactic. Yeah. But thats fine. We got quickly done with him, after all.
While Lina and I were still shocked by how fast Germa died but Sara seemed to be happy the most because everything was wrapped up pretty quickly. Scalas destruction skills are impossible to resist. Not even a magic protection would work on them. Theres no way hed be still alive. Unable to completely grasp the anticlimactic outcome of Scalas destruction skill, I kept gazing at her screaming happily on her own when suddenly
How dare you; how dare you do this to me!! Kamiya Yato
I heard Germas voice coming from a different direction. I promptly turned to that direction and realized that the sky in front of us started straining and bending. Inside the hole created in its center, I heard Germas hateful voice calling me with malice.
It looks like hes still alive.
Bonus
Destruction
Scala, was the skill you used to destroy the island the best skill you have? If we exclude the other skill, that would be the case. Huh? You still have something worse? Why didnt you use it then? That was the only skill that relies mainly on my emotions. Besides, using anything better than that was impossible in my current condition. I just remembered that you already destroyed a few worlds entirely. I already lost count on how many worlds I had destroyed, haha! Thats not something to brag about.
