Seiken Tsukai No World Break:Volume 1 Chapter 7

“hello? Urushi+bara? It’s o out with me?”

“I’m sorry I’ve already have someone I liked”

“Who is confessing to you! Iwith me!”

Thus, Satsuki and shi+zuno met up outside

This was the Sunday on the same week that Moroha successfully joined Strikers

Unfortunately, the sky was overcast on that day No

“The sky is strange today,” complained Satsuki while shi+zuno tilted her head in puzzlement

The ath Goosebumps easily broke out over their skins

Still, they can’t change the rest day They could only go out that Sunday

They took a 30 minutes ride on the public transport towards a newly opened shopping mall

Newly launched just the previous year, everything still looked new and shi+ny The coarden in the rasses and shaded seats, it was a popular spot for people to take their meals

Unfortunately, this picturesque vieas dampened by the overcast skies

Satsuki forcefully shake off her gloohts and readjusted her mood

“I’ll like to buy a gift to celebrate Moroha’s promotion to Rank C!”

“……I’loomily as she held a handkerchief to her mouth

“Irritating! You really kno to kill the mood!”

Still, even if Satsuki coe shi+zuno’s back

”why did you chose shopping district so far away? Isn’t it fine to shop somewhere nearer?”

“When I spoke of plans in the classroom yesterday, Tanaka-Sensei recommended me this place”

“……you found this place on the internet, right?”

“EVEN IF IT’S ME, THE TEACHER WON’T IGNORE ME OKAY!!!! IT’S TRUEEEEEEE!”

Satsuki isting around in anger and denial, unknowingly indirectly ad to the fact that she has no friends

“…so, what did you want to buy as a gift?”

“I’ve no faith in ift, so that’s why you are here!”

“please don’t make that kind of statement so proudly”

“That’s because, last tilass shards that I picked up at the roadside as a present In the end he happily accepted with an “I will treasure this my entire life” and really did that”

“If you are trying to show off your love life, I’”

“Uh? Why? I trying to say that regardless of what I gave him, he’ll happily accept This actually troubles me, you know”

“……Can I go back now?”

While the bickering went on, they diligently look through the stores

It’s co After walking one round, they will need to discuss their choices and make up their mind So they decided to take a break for lunch and rest

After soarden and walk towards the center

“It’s not…going to rain, right?” Satsukiat the overcast sky and queuing to buy a crepe from a portable outdoor outlet

Large a of oppression

The previous heavy humidity in the air had co to rain, but……

For so along with a rising dread

(Uh? What is this feeling?) Satsuki is starting to unreasonably feel a rising sense of discomfort and panic

Seated at a outdoor table, even when overlooking the beautiful pond fro delicious crepe, she cannot calm herself Thus, she asked shi+zuno in a serious tone:

“Hey Leaving the weather aside, don’t you feel that there's soe in the air today?”

“Strange? What do youon to her own crepe

Apparently, only Satsuki is being sensitive to a rising danger She attehts

“I think you are the strange one,” shi+zuno replied with a pitying look

Facing this person who is strangly dull today and instead said irritating words, Satsuki was about to say so to rebuke her ——

DONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

A roar like thunder resounded

Satsuki’s thoughts froze over

A from the sky, Satsuki stood stunned on the spot

Luckily, after being drenched by the cold water, Satsuki came back to herself

“What is this?!”

Rain? Sudden Squall? No, it’s wrong

shi+zuno turned her head towards the pond with heropen

That’s because there was soraceful maiden to reveal this dumbstruck look

GRRRRrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRR

No, not so It’s some creature

When she heard that growl, Satsuki understood immediately

After being blown on by a breath full of blood scent, Satsuki understood immediately

When she look upon that gigantic body, Satsuki understood immediately

What was it that had a gigantic body, bloody breath, heavy shadow and deafening noise?

What did large torrents of water to suddenly fall from the sky?

Obviously, the ansill become clearer if she just raise her head and take one look

But, it’s too terrifying Her body was paralyze and her hair stood on end

Even if she is a savior, the familiar memorized battle tactics and preparation vanished from her head in an instant All because of this fella

Like a silent dark tsuna towards her endlessly

Being surrounded by that evil presence, she felt that she had turned into a s uncontrollably

Satsuki stared at her hands placed on the table and tried to order her fingers

(Move…please move Move a bit…just a little bit……please…)

Even if only a single finger twitch, it felt like she’ll be able to break free of the trance caused by terror coiling around her

Sadly, her fingers remain frozen

At this moment, the area around her darkens as an enormous shadow loomed over her

At this er around her

At thisbecame louder around her

Panicking and trying to re of despair cause Satsuki to be unable to open her eyes

And because of this, she can instead hear clearly——

“GUWAHHHHHH” “HELP MEEEEEEEE” “Mummy I'm scared!!!!!”

The tearful crying voices and screams of children

Satsuki's eyes snapped open and she jumped up from her seat

By herself, she stood off against that fella, staring at each other

It’s a giant snake

It’s a giant snake that had broken up to the surface froiant snake with a single eye

The torrent of water froround and throwing all the water from the pond into the air

A ed on this world, any place on Earth or any other natural environment

It is a Metaphysical, the natural enemy of all saviors

Why did it appear here? —— Satsuki have no answer to that even after thinking furiously

She knows the reasoning very well though

Those creatures known as Metaphysical, are more sudden than Natural Disaster and are more cruel to the inhabitant of the world

Satsuki who had lived in cities devastated by Metaphysical know that very well

The terrifying yet strangelythe sky, with that single eye glinting right at the front

Looking deeply into that fearsole eye, Satsuki——

“Coreat me will be your opponent Be thankful to me!”

——screae with false bravado

With her golden prana surrounding both ar her slis

And, terrifyingly, the snake seemed to smirked at her As if it understood human speech

“Right That’s a good child That’s right, your opponent is me Don’t distract yourself with other inconsequential people”

Satsuki, trying to force out her courage, spoke out roughly:

“Urushi+bara, can you hear me? Snap out of it and wake up!”

“I’m sorry I’m fine now”

shi+zuno who just shook herself out of her stupor, as if trying to salvage her dignity, brush back her silky wet hair back and stood up elegantly from her seat

“Is that so That’s good Please contact the Academy for reinforcement immediately After that, lead everyone to evacuate——try to save as muchno, lead everyone to safety without fail

“And Ranjou-san?”

“I will try my best to pin down this fella here”

“But…to fight a metaphysical by yourself…”

“ [Victory lies in nuht? I knew that from lessons, but I don’t think we have time for that kind of preparation”

Satsuki co on a stance with her sword

The htly pathetic looking Satsuki, while swaying with it's scythe-like body

“…please stop saying ridiculous words”

“If I were to escape too, who knehere this fella will rae next”

If they were to leave this e as it wills, how many people will be injured?Even worst, how many people will be sacrifice?

The surrounding will definitely turn into hell

She will definitely not allow it to happen

(Of course I’m scared…Don’t want to die……)

Still, if she ran away to preserve herself, she’ll undoubtedly will turn into a false <savior>

(Right! If I run away, I won’t be worthy to be Onii-sama’s little sister!”

Satsuki forcefully squeezed out a smile

What, isn’t this for ht? Satsuki tried to convince herself

Following the curve of her jawline, water dripped from her chin

At the same time, filled with resolution and determination, shi+zuno stepped up beside Satsuki

“If that’s the case, allow side”

“Uh? Reinforcement? Evacuation?”

“I’ve already sent acorrectly, so no one needs to lead them”

“It’s enough with me alone I don’t need any burden” Satsuki screamed out loudly

The delaying battle that’s going to happen next can be said to be a suicideshi+zunoher friend into it

Even so…

“Who are you calling a burden? I am the [Royal Witch] respected and feared by all It’s supre you,” replied shi+zuno loftily while s

『TRACE——』

Glaring intently at the giant snake, shi+zuno wrote out glowing glyphs in the air with her fingers:

『Oh Darkness of Ice, Oh Spirit of Snow, lend me your breath, and freeze this unto a silence deeper than death』

shi+zuno’s surrounding drop into a darker gloom than that cast by the dark sky or the snake’s shadow

The ht in the area and absorb the a to power itself more

Satsuki was shocked into silence

shi+zuno’s ical skill is excellent Even Satsuki who became a savior for only a short time understood this

shi+zuno’s slender finger tranced out enough power as if to freeze the world into silence

After writing 3 lines of glowing glyphs into the eer

Ancestral Arts, Step Three Dark Magic 『Frozen Shade』

The slossy scales unique to a snake was covered by a layer of frost, the giant snake over 10in pain

shi+zuno, who had never shown anyone the full extent of her skills, revealed her full strength for the very first time

(Hoerful…!) Satsuki was deeply shocked

shi+zuno actually hid the fact that she has as e teachers in the academy

And thus there is nothingthan this as support Thanks to her, Satsuki regain her courage and determination to win

“My turn,” with a battlecry, prana gathered and swirls around her right leg

Kicking off the ground strongly, Satsuki dashed towards the giant snake with the speed of a bullet

She started her fight immediately with the <God speed=”” link=””> that she just learn recently

“HAH!! HA! HAAHHH!”

With both arth=”” link=””>, Satsuki chopped at the giant snake’s body unhesitatingly with no finesse

Coupled with the explosive power of <God speed=”” link=””>, she avoided the blood sprays

It’s hard to describe her fightingabandoned those childish impulses

The giant snake was originally staring at the tre Satsuki as if to verify the freshness of its lunch Now unexpectedly it is being counterattacked furiously by that would-be lunch Facing this, it abandoned its laziness and fiercely baring its fangs

Satsuki was the sa jaws attacking her

During this ti offto the giant snake

Unable to withstand the pain of frostbite, the snake finally extended it's neck to attack shi+zuno, but had its head kicked away by Satsuki She had not forgotten her duties as a white iron to protect the helpless black

(Could it be…that this could actually work?)

Just when she felt a shi+ver of hope and leaked out a tiny smile——

Like saying [I aiting for this irls descended

DOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With a loud crushi+ng sound, another giant snake broke out froround

“…………you are joking, right?” Satsuki could only smile bitterly

That’s because, an unbelievable scene continue to unfold in front of them

CRASHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

CRAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

Just like being in the middle of a bomb explosion, the loud crashes continued to resound

With every dust cloud explosion, a snake appeared on a scythe like body

Giant snakes over 10out

The suddenly insignificant Satsuki could only stared helplessly at this surreal scene that’s like a CG re-creation of a Hollywood movie

From the very first mono eye snake to the last 9 eyed snake

A total of 9 Giant snakes

No, it’s even worst……

“This isa multi-head?”

A 9 head hydra

The category of Metaphysical where the number of heads is linked to the overall power exponentially

In the case of the giant with 7 faces and 8 arms that appeared last year, it took a task force of over 100 saviors to take it down Satsuki learn that during lessons

And this fella had 2 iant, a total of 9

“Thisthis is impossible”

Her sword had slipped froers

It sounded sharply as it hit the hard ground

“Satsuki! What are you doing!”

A harsh reprimand from shi+zuno came from the back

And from the front, the 9-eyed snake opened its maw and approached

shi+zuno cast 『White Breath』at it Due to the sudden situation, she had only tiic

The 9 eyed snake brushed aside that attack effortlessly like nothing and continued to press forward

Frorey cloud

shi+zuno swiftly grabbed and push down Satsuki, covering her with her own body to protect Satsuki

Unfortunately, the defense level of a non-White Iron like shi+zuno is lihtly by the cloud

Satsuki reflectively squeezed her eyes shut, but there wasn’t any feeling of pain anywhere

No Specifically all feelings below the knees have vanished

Both her legs——were grey and petrified

In addition, the petrification continued to creep up her legs invasively

“Increase your prana output and resist the petrification curse!”

Satsuki, caught in a tangle with shi+zuno on the ground, nodded sharply and followed shi+zuno’s instruction

Luckily, she’s able to prevent the curse froreat speed, but it’s is

No, even so ——

The 5 eyed snake moved forward and licked Satsuki’s neck Satsuki prepared for her death mentally

“You…you…you……”

Even if she was pressed down on the ground by shi+zuno, Satsuki still reached out and grab her weapon and desperately swing her sidely with her limited reach

This is only a weak defiance pushed by her fear of death and not really a wise or deliberate choice

The 5 eyed snake, giving an impression of [Ara, how scary, how scary], leisurely pulled back its head

That’s right, for some reasons these monsters can mimicked human expressions

Even if they are snakes Even if they are monsters

The 9 snake heads continue to jeered and laugh at Satsuki, playfully sliding their bodies all around the two girls, causing Satsuki to fall deeper into panic They even took turns to reach forward and poke Satsuki with their head playfully

“Coether, I’ll take you on!”

Satsuki raised her sword to the front, like a fur-bristling cat driven to a corner

This is only a facade of bravery of soiven up

Seeing this, the 9 snake heads happily open and closed their jaws

It’s very abnormal——no matter which head it was, they don’t see them

After the passing of time, even Satsuki was able to calm down somewhat and felt that small suspicion

What were they thinking? What were their intentions?

Satsuki cannot cooals of this metaphysical

“Hey, what do you think?” Satsuki asked, but receive no reply from shi+zuno

This hen, Satsuki discovered that not only her legs, but shi+zuno’s entire back was petrified by the cursed breath

To resist the curse, she is forcing out mana as much as she can and had slipped into a half-conscious state

“AHHHHHHHH”

Satsuki was frantic Even if they were not sed up by the snakes, the slow petrification will still finished them off It could be even that for the irls due to fear and despair was the real delicious meal for them

The giant snakes had happiness glinting out fro

Satsuki had already lost her will to lock eyes with them, and with no resistant slowly close her eyes

At this ti

It was a specifically set ringtone

The ringtone set for Moroha

Satsuki snapped open her eyes and prayed

Amidst the despair she saw a silver of hope

Thus she prayed hard and grabbed onto that hope to break free of her despair

“Moroha……”

Taking a hot water bath whenever he felt like it, it was truly heaven

For the happy-go-lucky Moroha, for some reason he cannot calm himself down today For that reason, he left the bath early and went back to his roo his hair with a towel, he checked the mobile on his desk

There was a text e from shi+zuno

As this was the first text e he had ever receive, he had a pleased se

Reading the e, his smile froze

Satsuki and shi+zuno were under attack by a metaphysical and the situation is desperate

Moroha changed into his battlesuit in record breaking time and flew out of his room

{A ency, all students are to gather in the mess hall Repeat…}

A broadcast was sounded immediately from the speakers

This encies

Moroha ran into the mess hall in a rare panic

Everyone’s reaction was exeathered in the mess hall that can be converted into a conference hall in a pitch

The huge display screens, a source ofa view of an unusually huge metaphysical——the 9 head hydra

The worst situation ever

Although the video was taken fro presence of the metaphysical did not decreased at all Cos, it was easy to deter

That huge lued to the screen

“Please tell me the situation!”

Moroha swiftly saw the figure of Isurugi Jin It see with the dorm head He quickly moves to their location

“It’s horrible A Metaphysical as strong, if not stronger, than that dreadnought class that was defeated at Tokyo bay last year appeared The teachers have already determined that it’s a multi head type Even worst, a total of 9 heads that had never appeared before”

“Forget about that! shi+zuno and Satsuki are on location right now”

“I know Urushi+bara-san infore She said that to successfully evacuate the non-coet busy”

The cal Moroha to become more frustrated

I don’t need that kind of infore Let’s reinforce the is if everyone’s preparation is completed?”

“We won’t be reinforcing them”

The caler

“WHY!”

“Facing that kind of monster, it’s unwise to rush in without a plan of attack If we attack carelessly, there’s a high possibility we’ll be wipe out totally”

“Aren’t you an A-Class? Weren’t you proud of how great the Combat Corp is?”

“If this was a normal metaphysical, of course it won’t be an opponent for us But, that monster will probably require the full mobilization of the entire japan branch to take down That includes all A-ranks like athered and probably as le unit, as backups If we don’t go that far, on’t have a chance”

“Then what are we to do now?”

“Currently, the principal had already request help froht Order We are to wait for the reinforcements and prepare the for unnecessary sacrifices”

What nonsense is this? Moroha was tongue tied

His brain was about to explode

Could it be…that not only Isurugi’s family, but no one around him had died even once?

That he had never experience the pain of eternal partings

Was this why he was able to sprout these shi+tty words? Moroha’s anger reached its peak

“This is ridiculous If ait that long, Satsuki and shi+zuno will be dead by then!” Moroha screaer

Isurugi seemed to hesitate for a split second, yet continue to reply calmly:

“This is a necessary great sacrifice to protect the majority”

Moroha snapped So broke within him

His heart started beating hard and erratically with an uneven rhythm

He can hear the rush of blood in the depth of his ears

His anger intensified to a single point

“Listen to me,” Moroha says in a low and quiet tone

He said this to Isurugi Jin, the hest ranked White Iron in japan

“There is no life that can be abandoned easily in this world!”

Isurugi grunted once and took a step back

The pressure that Moroha is ei as known for his steadiness and calm to panic

“Forget it I’ll go myself”

“Wait a minute! Don’t break formation by yourself I said it before that only the power of teaanization can defeat the opponent What can you do by yourself? Don’t forget the iron rule! Don’t let eement This is an unnecessary sacrifice, it’s a childish self-satisfaction Please reconsider……”

Even if he was pushed down by Moroha’s presence, what needs to be said still had to be said Jin used his full courage to persuade Moroha

But, Moroha just glance once at Isurugi and he was struck silent

Moroha just silently, resolutely turned his back on Isurugi and ignored him

“Moroha-kun Please calm down No matter what, those two cannot be saved already”

Isurugi plead earnestly towards Moroha’s back

“Aren’t you all Allies of Justice?” Moroha coldly replied without turning around, and throw in his next line:

“If we cannot even save two girls, how are we called <saviors>?”

Isurugi can only reply with silence

Moroha had already lost any expectation with this place

So, he can only proceed by himself

Towards the taiting for him; to the place besides the two of them——

The distance fro ht line

Moroha wrapped in pure white prana was running at full strength with God Speed Link

His battlesuit hadhim to speed like the wind

If he were to follow thethe hill path

Thus, Moroha decided to juht line

Kicking off the tar road, he jumped onto a nearby residential roof with God Speed Link

A height normally unreachable by normal people, he cleared it easily

In addition,

『Feathers Dash, Light as Ash, Released me fast, From Gravity Lash』

While casting ically to almost zero

After taking lessons with shi+zuno, Moroha’s Black Magic ability increased by leaps and bounds

Once he landed on the next roof, he juain

The second jump was even further than the first

In this way, Light Technique <God speed=”” link=””> works in conjunction with Dark Magic Manifestation of Feather Weight『Decrease Weight』

With this, Moroha ju the rooftops of the residential area and swiftly approach the shopping mall

Every subsequent ju

Along the white buildings, Moroha danced in the skies like a bird

Light as feather, cutting through the air
