Chapter 195 - Fragment of the Demonic God (3)

It was like watching a god create something.

The Mana was gathered in the air, and a bright light covered it.It slowly started to take on a concrete form.The Demonic god’s hand could feel the holy power within it, so it let out a scream.Its fingers clawed at the air, but it couldn’t reach the light.To be precise, the light became ridiculously intense when the hand got close to the light.It burned the fingers of the Demonic god’s hand.

“Artpe!?”

“Arm······ Hurry up and get rid of it!”

Artpe had to concentrate on his spell, so he couldn’t give detailed orders to his party.Sienna and Maetel did as he said.They frantically swung their bastard sword and hammer as they attacked the fallen arm of the Demonic god.

The Demonic god’s hand twitched every time the arm was attacked.However, it must have decided that stopping Artpe from creating the light was a more urgent matter.At this point, Regina and Etna could guess at the identity of Artpe’s magic.They just stood there as they stared at him in a dumbfounded manner.

“Artpe, you….How….?”

“Etna, give me your Mana!”

“Y...yes!”

There was an urgency in his voice.Etna forgot that she had to provide her Mana through Maetel.She let out out her Mana as is, but it was enough.In the past, Artpe and Maetel was able to use an Innate ability called Mana Link to share each other’s Mana.The underlying reason for being able to do this was the fact that they were both heroes.For some reason, the same Mana Link had appeared between Artpe and Etna.

In the end, the pool of light exploded.

“Kyahhhhhhhhhhk!”

“W...was it a failure?”

“No.”

The space around them was filled will light.The Demonic god’s hand and arm froze in place.Of course, Artpe’s party also stopped moving for a brief moment.Etna knew that Artpe had been attempting something outrageous, so she let out a gasp of distress.However, Artpe was firm as he shook his head from side to side.

“It was a success.”

[Kyaa-ha-ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!]

The Demonic god’s hand let out a roar.It was in rage, and it was about to charge towards Artpe.In the next moment, something suddenly grabbed the hand.

An enormous white hand had emerged from the exploding pool of light.

“You really made it······.”

“Cheat.Artpe is a cheat.”

“Hoo-ooh······Hoohp.”

Etna and Regina looked on with wide eyes as they mumbled to themselves.Artpe had depleted all his energy, and he was about to fall over.He was barely able to keep himself upright.Etna instantly recognized this fact.She quickly moved up to his side, and she helped him stay upright.

“Are you able to control it?”

“Just hold onto me like this.”

“Y..yes.”

Etna heard the tired voice of Artpe, and she instantly felt her heart quicken.She inwardly asked for forgiveness for having such wayward thoughts, and she continued to support Artpe. Artpe was oblivious to the fact that Etna was having such shameful thoughts about him.He started to control the white hand in earnest.

He was controlling it, yet he was no longer consuming any Mana.The spell was already complete.The only thing left was to deliver his will to the hand.He had to order it as its rightful owner.

[Koo-goo-ga-ga-ga-ga-ahhhhhhhhh!]

He ordered it to drive out the rotten Demonic energy!

The white hand started to push back against the hand of the Demonic god.The hand of the Demonic god tried to use its Innate ability to destroy the white hand, but the power possessed by white hand neutralized the power of destruction.

In fact, the hand of the Demonic god was being pushed backwards as time passed.This was happening, because Maetel and Sienna was destroying the arm of the Demonic god.They were destroying the source of the Demonic energy.

“You really copied its Innate ability······.”

“I learned a concept, and I materialized it.I was dubious as to whether it would work.”

Artpe’s explanation was simple, but it sounded preposterous to those that heard it.He was able to see an Innate ability as a concept, and he was able to learn it.First, one needed the Read All Creation ability to do this.Even if Artpe was able to learn it, there was the problem of Materializing it.Basically, this was something only Artpe could do.

“As expected, I think I’m the main character.”

“Don’t say such nonsense with a straight face.”

“I think I understand what the Demon King was talking about…....”

The Demon King was well acquainted with Artpe’s Read All Creation ability.In Artpe’s lifetime, the Demon King had been most jealous of his ability.This was why the Demon King wanted Artpe to experience facing a part of the Demonic god.The Demon King had a hunch that such an incident would help raise up Artpe.

‘That damned chef······.’

It really was frustrating, but in the end, the Demon King had finished his recipe.It was perfect He had to acknowledge that fact.

“Nyaa-ah!”

Roa had been sucking up the Demonic energy up until now.She finally stepped forward after it was confirmed that the Demonic god’s hand was being held in place by the hand made by Artpe.She quickly closed the distance.She bit the end of the Demonic god’s arm, which was being assaulted by Maetel and Sienna.

“Nyaa-ah-ah-ahhhh!”

She started to absorb its power with all her might!

[Kyahhhhhhhh!Koo-ga-ga-ga-ga-koo-koo-koo-koo-ka-ga-ga-gahk!]

Its scream suddenly became ragged.This wasn’t a simple attack where it was being destroyed.It was being eaten!The sensation was entirely different!However, the arm didn’t have any offensive capability.It could do nothing.

“Maetel!Sienna!You can attack the hand now!”

“Nyaa-ah!I can eat all of this, nyaa-ah-ah!”
