Chapter 61 (2/2)
The person in front of me no longer had any room for negotiation. She was an enemy, whose existence itself could not be tolerated, anymore.
“Ardent Wind・Ten Flash!!”
An emerald, with tinges of red, katana emerged, the [Wave Sickle Katana]. He formed a cross and slash outwards.
Invisible wind blades were created from the crosses that attacked Yumisu. The blades were quite hard to defend against.
“[Water, Wind, Flame, explosion]”
Yumisu used Magic by only calling out their Magic Name, without chanting. The Magic exploded outwards to prevent the Wind Blades from reaching her.
The explosion was caused by the decomposition of water, obtained by using Water Magic, to hydrogen particles, using Fire Magic. The particles were then ignited by lightning from the rapid movement of Wind Magic.
I was the one who thought the principle. It was magic developed by the efforts of us two.
The explosion resulted in dust flying everywhere, limiting eyesight.
I had definitely expected her to use this magic, keeping her magical consumption to a minimum.
“Envelop Eternal Darkness -[Phantom Mirage]”
Passing magic into the sword I had prepared previously the [Cicada wing Blade], I chanted the Magic Chant
Mirages of myself appeared around me. All of us spread out and flew out the dust cloud at the same time.
It was hard task to differentiate between 5 Magical Energies, even for Yumisu.
“Tsk, [Stinger Mountain]!!”
Of the 5 mirage’s that were created, 3 of them, including the main body, rushed towards Yumisu’s location.
Yumisu countered with dozens of conical stone spikes, which appeared out of the ground.
Fortunately or Unfortunately, the distance between us was short., One of the mirages tried to cut the spikes, but was penetrated and disappeared. Another mirage was hit on the elbow by the stone spike tip and also disappeared
“The fact that the other two bodies have disappeared, means that you are the original. They were mirages formed from your sword. As I thought, you have almost exhausted your MP”
Another chantless GreenLighting stuck, leaving behind a green flash.
Of course Kaito avoided it, but Yumis’s goal was not the mirage but the tree behind it.
The mirages could not avoid the countless flying charred wood pieces and the mirage that had avoided the lightning soon disappeared, leaving behind smoke.
“[Earth ,Fire,Cage ]”
“DAM-che!!”
A small cage of earth with hemispherical grid lines of magma enveloped me.
“Saa~, This ends our game of hide and seek”
“…………………Ah, yes. This is the end.”
“If you stay in there for too long, then you will get baked which will cause the ingredient quality to fall; so won’t you please accept the truth? Become an ingredient and pass on already! It would be so much less painful than being burned alive. ”
Saying so, Yumisu laughed heartily. There was no choice but to accept that this was, Yumisu’s true face.
She had not changed after I took care of the Demon King, Letisha. This was her true nature from the beginning.
I had met her on the streets of Eurmia and travelled together with her for more than two years. Why was I unable to see her true character sooner?
Not just her, but the princess and others as well. Why was I unable to notice.
Since the day I defeated Letisha, I’ve kept wondering, over and over again – Why am I so dumb? What was I seeing? Why couldn’t have I noticed this sooner?
I still don’t understand. No matter how many times I’ve repeated the questions in my mind…
“Do you have any final words? I will listen to them”
Maybe it was because she thought I had given up that Yumisu said these words with an amiable attitude.
“Yes, but I do not have anything I wish to tell you. Even if there was something I wished to tell you, we wouldn’t have enough time…. There seems to be an increase in the number of things I should apologize for though….”
“What are………he!? Wha!? That light!? [Green Thunder——–………..”
“See ya, you psychopathic lady”
Then i was wrapped up in the light of transition…….and disappeared from the Yumisu’s eyes.
