Vol 4 Chapter 6 (2/2)
What? It was Sophia who gave up first
Since Satsuki’s role wasn’t to win but to let shi+zuno go, she agreed with pleasure
– I never thought that Satsuki would beco the summer
– You can praise me a little more, you know? Ho〜〜〜hohoho!
– I wanted to tell the persevering Satsuki that one thing
– Well, whatever Ho〜〜〜hohoho!
– How ates have you currently open?
Satsuki didn’t notice that Sophia’s voice was tre
Because of that, she replied quite indifferent
– Both hands and feet, the glabella and the point below the navel, so six! I’ht so…
Satsuki didn’t notice that the look of Sophia was ates in the whole body of a shi+rogane that pued one could open all of theed one
However, this not-fully-fledged one was able to clash with the nuhter of Akane Academy
Satsuki wasn’t aware of it, but if Mo, they would be pulverized by Sophia in one blow
– Alright I have so Satsuki
– Yeah, whatever Ho〜〜〜hohoho!
– I want you to not die because I’ll go serious too
– Why are you sa――what!?
Satsuki was stunned, but Sophia wasn’t joking
She saw for the first tirim face
– Whaa〜t? What’s with this o to? Satsuki began to tre violently
Sophia took out the ID Tag right in front of the one that was cohtened
– Ah, this is the first ti it
– There are reasons about why I can’t use it readily
– Senpai asked ht?
– Of course, I don’t have the intention of hiding anything to my cute kouhai I’reat weapon in my previous life, I wandered fro her about herself, the ID Tag of Sophia changed its shape
It was a co iron spear
Despite that, it looked firm and heavy
When the tall Sophia raised it overhead, it was very impressive
Satsuki also let a swordlike she was stirred up by fear and while her oas classified as small, it wasn’t terribly unreliable compared to Sophia’s iron cane
– If I have to say as that――it’s because there was no weapon that could endure my prana
The prana of Sophia flew and spread to every corner of the raised overhead iron cane
As soon as that happened, it appeared that the solid-looking iron cane started to vibrate as if it jarred and rambled eerily
Satsuki was surprised When she paid attention to it, cracks developed one after another on the surface of the iron cane
As Sophia said, her prana was so powerful that it was too much for it and started to self-collapse
– W-ouldn’t that weapon break if you give me a hit with it?
– Correct There are no second hits forshould also break, no? And because it’s valuable you’ll get a good scolding if you lose it, right? S-so, let’s stop, please〜?
– The thing is that this is a direct mission of the Head of the American Division, so I think she’ll be happy to provide me a new one
– T-that’s a waste! A waste of Ay principle!
– There’s no use in arguing about it
Sophia brandished the iron cane with all her strength
Satsuki fell into panic Her heart was about to explode
But――
– Be brave and ignite your heart! I know that Satsuki can do it!
Although she was given a loud pep talk that was full of Senpai’s strictness and consideration,
『Your heart can burn Rather, your core is strong, but your head is cool』
She reiven to her by her forrew cold
Her loud heart played harates were open, and Satsuki’s body was cladded in a golden gli doard as if it commanded itself
Satsuki was struck by that sword
Venus was still unusable, and the pranless sword blade was destroyed in an instant
Even though Satsuki was astonished, she wasn’t perturbed, and without a moment’s delay she crossed her arh Durability
She didn’t forget the principle of「Easy to attack, hard to defend」, but she didn’t do it that way
A huge ly
She would try crushi+ng her to death at this rate!
Satsuki’s leg sunk into the ground like a stake
The ground collapsed due to the aftermath of Sophia’s blow and formed a rift valley that extended in all directions
The impact and the detonation were trans all the s into pieces
All the iron fences and the gate that were in the vicinity disappeared
The destructive energy didn’t conclude because the weapon that should be the core couldn’t withstand it It diffused interminably
A blow of extraordinary scale A preposterous waste of energy
That was Sophia’s Venus
Satsuki, as struck by it, was hopeless
Her whole body orn-out, the combat uniform she expressly wore for this was shredded, she wasn’t in a shape were she could be seen byout due to the pain as if the bones of her whole body were directly hit with a haently patted her head
– Haaa, I give up, I give up I can’t fight now that I lost my weapon The Head of the American Division should conclude the saed her
– My persevering Satsuki-san! So cute, so cute!
She even rubbed her cheeks with hers
Though the person in question was being kind to her, for Satsuki as in that state right now, this was equivalent to being abused
Satsuki endured the tyranny while weeping as she said “please stop” in a soundless voice
She completed her role perfectly, she was helpful to Moroha, and that proud feeling made her withstand it
Moroha continued polishi+ng and sharpening hi the sword, and the for himself
He warded off the slash with the sword, and that strange thing
He continued polishi+ng and sharpening himself
He read the next movement of Leshya, and that precision
He continued polishi+ng and sharpening himself
The moment the ability of the cursed sas turned「off」, his speed using Light Techniques had no lag
He took another good look at everything about himself and re-polished, re-sharpened and re-trained himself
He developed as a swordsane every minute
The remarkable soman called Leshya, the Saviorslayer of Saviors was the touchstone
If it wasn’t for her, he wouldn’t knohen such day would coratitude sprouted
– Shura
Moroha held the iron sword in both hands and released a slashi+ng sword diagonally from the shoulder
The ability of the cursed sas now「on」 Therefore, Moroha fought with his swordsmanshi+p
Leshya made herself vulnerable to slashes on purpose and stopped the bloith the sword
The forenerated shocks and Leshya as struck by therimaced
Moroha pulled the sword in a fraction of a second and hit again
Then again and again
He cornered Leshya to a defense-only state, she made the cursed sword be the substitute of a shi+eld and continued striking the heavy sword like “hitting the
As the impacts piled up and piled up, the wrists of Leshya beca the sword
Moroha was doing so, he was fighting like that, the「status」difference as the only swordsman who could do it was already established
– I can’t afford to lose…
Leshya raised a tragic but brave shout and turned 「on」the ability of the cursed sword to stand it
She switched froht Techniques and tried to counterattack
But then again, Moroha was faster in the battle
An instant faster than Leshya,four times faster than Leshya
Heattacks fro that he divided hi croith the name of the first star of the North Stars and one of the 7 Godlike Movement derived techniques
Swiftly simultaneous connected attacks Donrou
A fourfold impact attacked the readied sword of Leshya and at last, Moroha knocked down the cursed sword fro a parabola and flew to the opposite side, stabbing the ground
– Ah…
Leshya was lost for words
But she immediately disheveled her hair and hurried to where the sas
Moroha didn’t stop her
– Go ahead, pick it up But I think the result will be the same no matter how many times you do it
The ability of Leshya as a soman shouldn’t be so low that she wouldn’t understand it
– I have to kill you
However, Leshya didn’t listen to his advice
She stretched out her hand to the hilt of the cursed sword that pierced through the ground as if she depended on it
You feel soMoroha wasn’t so insensitive
– This is for your younger brother, right?
The body of Leshya stiffened with a twitch
So it was that, huh, Moroha nodded
– Are you being taken hostage by Lightning Empress? And your little brother will be killed unless you killlike that
Leshya pulled out the sword, held it up oneat hiain while receiving it with a sincere look
– If so, then I’ll help you
– … eh?
– I’llEht?
– What… what are saying? Do you get what…?
– I’ that I can do what I can’t do
– It’s impossible
– It’s inevitable when I see you so helplessly――
Moroha covered his face with his opened right hand
The man that completely overwhelhed once and started talking
– When I was a kid, I couldn’t saveand narrowed his eyes a little
– I don’t want to have such feelings anyer reveal theh his voice
– I don’t want to let Leshya have such feelings
He raised his eyes and pierced her with a strong look
– That’s why, I’ll rescue him
He declared resolutely
Then he waited in silence For Leshya’s reply
– ……
Leshya didn’t say anything as expected
But instead of that, the point of the sword she had at the ready was slowly going down
It was over
Moroha looked up at the sky with a s cloudy It was clear before departing
Is it going to rain? And because of that, we’re safe now that the hiking is going to be suspended?
He casted his eyes dohile s froate, it sounded like a bomb that fell down
No, there’s no way it is what I think it is
But the other one surprised hi the na in this direction
– Why… why are you here?
– Stop already! You don’t have to fight, you two!
She was unusually raising her voice With an earnest look
– What do you mean?
She arrived at last, put both hands on her knees and breathed heavily, and then he asked her while rubbing her back
shi+zuno regained her breath for a minute and alternately compared the faces of Moroha and Leshya who stood stock still while casting her eyes doard; it was really difficult to say so very terrible?
– Yes It’s especially about Elensan, so will you calm down and listen to it?
– About me?
Leshya raised her face nervously
However, she pro a determined face
shi+zuno also threay her hesitation and told the reality
– Elensan … You don’t have a younger brother
As expected, Moroha also had his mouth wide open
He earnestly searched for the s near the mouth of shi+zuno
But, shi+zuno had a real serious look on her face
– Urushi+bara shi+zuno I know that you don’t think well of an to criticize her
She was denied the existence of her dear family member It was a natural reaction
But shi+zuno didn’t pull back
– It’s not a lie, you know? I ated you The first is that there are unavoidable circu Eer brother is involved in it, isn’t he? That’s how I think it is Then I e where you were, and we heard of you fro about your little brother It appears that it er brother”
– How i such li――
– The director said soht of a snow storm, he found and picked up a newborn baby that was abandoned in front of the orphanage So, there are no weird stories where you have a blood-related brother
– You’re very iht then, Elensan, can you tell er brother?
– Understood I’ll tell his naer brother’s naer brother’s name is…
Her facial expression that was before the eyes of Moroha grew pale in a twinkle
– My younger brother’s name is… what… was it?
– What about his face? Do you remember it?
– His face…
– The color of his hair? The color of his eyes? Are the sae you have?
– His hair… eyes… age…
Leshya couldn’t answer to any of them
Her slender body trerasped the pendant on her chest with all her strength
– I don’t understand… I can’t re the heavens as if she lamented
– Moroha couldn’t see that sad scene anymore
– Care to explain, shi+zuno?
– I’ate any more than this
Moroha and shi+zuno looked at each other’s unsatisfied faces
And as if forcing his way through there――
– Hihihihi, Should I tell you then?
They heard an unknown voice all of a sudden
A hoarse voice like it was forcibly produced and made its throat to jar
Moroha looked for the owner of the voice but he couldn’t find it immediately
– Hihihi I’m here, Haimursan
The eyes of Moroha and shi+zuno stopped at one point
Where a black cat was crouching on the grass and was getting closer without being noticed
– Nice to meet you, my name is Kondrat and I co the hus today that Moroha ended up having his senses paralyzed
Besides, the cat spoke trivially as if it were chatting
– Are you going to explain or so?
– Yes, yes It is as Urushi+barsan says Leshya has no relatives
– What do you mean with that, Kondrat! If so, then why my little brother ――
– Hihihihi, that’s because I planted that in Leshya The illusion of having a younger brother
That was――a heartless explanation
Moroha trehtly the hilt of the sword, being almost painful
– My Ancestral Arts is can’t be planted But, you see, this thing called illusion is a nuisance Huh it so deeply The deceptions that may be noticed if they are suspected properly have been left alone for years Why is that such a thing exist? The mistaken assu after beco it well, it will just rack your brains, you know?
The one who insisted hiretting that deue of the black cat that talked fluently
– … I think they call it the heart of the people
Moroha muttered due to the dark voice he had never heard before
She does what she is told to for the sake of her dear little brother
She kills people for the sake of her dear little brother
She continues training to the extremes for the sake of her dear little brother
She throay all her happiness for the sake of her dear little brother
She carries despair to the world for the sake of her dear little brother
Such a terrible story for a girl
Isn’t that cruel?
He says that this is the act of the same person?
But a fact was even more terrible
Leshya muttered just a feorlds to herself
– I see… so there was no one for me…
She couldn’t stand up and crumbled dohere she was
And sobbed like a child
– I… I don’t care even if I die already…
She continued shedding e was reflected
– Leshya!
The shout of Moroha didn’t reach her
Leshya kept sobbing as if she had shut herself away inside
– Hihi, it’s useless The heart of a person breaks easily I think no voice will reach her anymore
– … what did you say?
Moroha thrust the point of the sword at the cat
However, the black cat was sleeping while still being crouched
– Hihihihi, now I’m here
The words of Kondrat were heard from another place instead
From Leshya’s mouth
Her hollowed eyes――the eyeballs themselves were dyed darky
Her absent over the body of a Savior is hard, but it’s possible if the heart is broken
It wasn’t Leshya, but soe off miasma
– Is that your body, Kondrat…?
– I’em is only a catalyst that relays my Ancestral Arts Once I have taken over you, there’s no further purpose for it anymore
As if to prove his words, Leshya… no, Kondrat, who took over her body, took off the pendant and tossed it away
The miasma similar to a black shadow coiled around the whole body of Leshya
– That’s… then, what should we…
The voiceless shi+zuno at his side
Moroha also lost conviction
– Now, let’s try the power of the cursed sword, shall we?
Since he was able to control all the power that Leshya had, Kondrat turned 「on」the ability of the cursed sword
Moroha felt an illusion where his body turned into lead
The cursed sword didn’t turn invalid the possession ability of Kondrat He was a rare user of Ancestral Arts, so ht Techniques like the one of the Head of the japanese Division
– Well then, get dressed up for the continuation of the sword fight, Haiher than Leshya’s, but can you really show your true strength while protecting Urushi+barsan?
shi+zuno slowly started realizing she was a burden, but it was too late
Kondrat was going to delete the choices of Moroha one by one
He cornered Moroha one at a tiacity,
But for this it fully effective
– You’re ready now, yes, Leshya? I’ll assist you perfectly until the end!
Kondrat raised a voice of joy and attacked using the body of Leshya
– What “ready” are you talking about…? How is Leshya going to enjoy it…?
Moroha grasped tightly the hilt of the sword
His pally
– Hihihi, she’s enjoying it! She can co=”” empress=””> Vasilisa Yurievna!
– Don’t screwabout <your partner=””> Leshya, do you!?
Kondrat raised the cursed sword overhead and slashed at him with a swordsmanshi+p that wasn’t even a tiny bit different from Leshya
– Shut up
Moroha didn’t raise his face and stopped the slashi+ng attack with his iron sword
Kondrat pushed into the cursed sword by putting his weight on it but the iron sword of Moroha didn’t quiver
– Don’t you dare to say anything else about Leshya…
– So you’re saying that you know more about Leshya? It has been only a week or so since then, not only that, she merely approached you to entice you, she only had a fake relationshi+p with you!
– I know…
The docile side of hers: she easily ended up believing the second-hand opinion of others
The really clumsy side of hers: she didn’t know that she was tricked to put on a cat ear headband
The way-too-serious side of hers: when it ca, she was helpless, she didn’t separate their aardly linked arht about her dear family and the depth of that love
The devoted side of hers: for her brother’s sake, the sacrifices weren’t a probleood for Moroha
All, all, all, all of them
He didn’t want to lose any of them
That’s why――
I――I’ll never allow anyone to steal from me
Moroha raised his face
A point-blank range where sword and sword uards but it uard of a japanese sword
Kondrat was startled due to the carved, raging look that was just before his eyes
But it wasn’t just that
He was speechless watching the pure white prana rising up from the whole body of Moroha as if it were a cold and quiet flame
The cursed sword now had its ability turned「on」
And yet, Moroha was cladded in prana
Sparkling like a star that ca
– W-what the… how can this be…?
This wasn’t surprising at all for Moroha
The cursed sword Leprazan ate prana
In that case, if he squeezed out enough prana, too reat!
– Oooooooooooooooooooooo……
A loild beast-like roar gushed out from the throat of Moroha
In the same way, prana overflowed in rapid succession
Moroha was, after all, just a metamorphosis with the appearance of a person
In this way, and like taking a layer off so, the common sense of a person’s world could be overturned as much as one liked
The amount of prana that Moroha was cladded in increased moment by moment even when the ability of the cursed sas「on」
However, it wasn’t enough
This tian to overflow and he poured it into the sword in his right hand
The iron sword ian to vibrate like it creaked
It started ru with an ominous sound
Cracks were carved one after another on the surface of the blade that held back the cursed sword of Kondrat
The prana that Moroha poured into it was excessively strong, rather the weapon itself wasn’t capable of putting up with it
– Hih, hihihi, hihihihihihi You areit self-collapse, aren’t you?!
Kondrat sneered while pushi+ng into the cursed sword
– You’re bastard enough to lose your unique prana The only thing that an inferior sword can manifest is sorrow――
– Hey
Moroha didn’t particularly call out to Kondrat
However, Kondrat was overpowered by the intensity of that voice and sed his frivolous words
Moroha continued without worrying about his feelings at all
– Till when are you going to sleep?
He called out
To his own dear sword
If the was still insufficient, then he had to continue polishi+ng it
He was going to sharpen it, even if it was by force
He pulled and dragged the dor distant aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The cracks stopped getting in the iron sword blade
On the contrary, the engraved cracks started repairing on its own
Even the cloudiness that thinly covered the sword blade was cleared away
As if an invisible swords hit over and over
A treasured sith a beautiful sword blade that resembled a mirror manifested in the palm of Moroha
Now, the「Holy Sas restored from the ancient times that exceeded 100,000,000 years
Now that was over
shi+zuno and Kondrat scrutinized the dazzling of the sword blade that housed prana in it
– Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Moroha roared evenprana into his dear shile ht uratively, an eternal desert
An endless, infinite dry ground that gulped down a liquid called prana
No matter where the owner sprayed some water, the desert drank it up as much as it liked
Its thirst couldn’t be healed
But what if an eternal rain that could sube the world in flood fell on that vast land of sand?
What if non-dryable water was pumped into it and drank it and drank it?
Rainwater would permeate deep into the earth and in the process the ie river
As if it were a in
If there were 1,000 shi+roganes, it would be a useless object for 999 of them
However, if that junk was in the hands of the protector of the holy sword, then it would become an unparalleled sword in the history of the world
It drank the inexhaustible prana of Moroha, filtered it, and transforth
It was enhanced to be the whitest sparkle in the three-dina
– ――Ruaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Strange noises began toroar
Snap Then another Snap
Cracking sounds were carved in a hard thing
Cracking sounds passed through a a was as beautiful as amirror
Cracks that resembled wrinkles of an old person were produced one after another in the blade of Leprazan
Without being able to eat Moroha’s Ars Magna, it couldn’t stand it and started to self-collapse
– ――Ruaaa!
Moroha rapidly swung Saratiga, forcing back from the blade lock
Leprazan, the cursed sword of “man-eater”, was s, but Moroha gave hi sword
Directly in theKondrat with Saturn
– ―――――――――――――――――!
All thearound the body of Leshya scattered away in an instant, without even being able to rise an agonizing death screale blow of Moroha made it vanish like mist
Sanity returned to Leshya’s eyes
Moroha caught in his arms the body that was about to crumble
In both hands
The manifestation of the holy sas only the miracle of an instant It was still an incouise co off, it started to self-collapse and turned into pieces, scattering from Moroha’s palms
But he wasn’t concerned about it now
He held the body of Leshya who lost her strength in his arht her
– You’re safe now
He whispered close to her ears
– Don’t say lonely things or that you’re okay with dying If you need ato live, then I’ll be one
But his tone was clear as if he ord by word in an easy-to-understand manner
So that she could hear him this time
To reach her
– Because I’ll become Leshya’s family
With those feords
Leshya cried
She cried aloud, but not because of despair, but for some other reason
Then for what? She didn’t intend to ask Moroha about it
The strength was returning to the arms and body of Leshya ould only fall if left alone
He knew that the strength she was clinging to, was the strength of her feeling of wanting to live
He had reached her
There was no need to repeat those words again
Moroha was truly satisfied, and he kept rubbing the back of Leshya sobbing in his arms
The screams of Kondrat echoed in a dim room as if the darkness surrounded it
– Gi… iiiiiiiiiAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhh My… my eyes h… hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, huuurt, huuurt, huuuuurt aaaaaaa, aaaaaaaah, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!
Atears of blood from below them and writhed in pain on the carpet
A natural pheno him experience a pain that shouldn’t occur, furthermore, and different from common pain, his nerves weren’t either paralyzed or slowed He was endlessly tor out directly; he was about to go insane
The pain was so much that he surely would have rather chose to die, and with the anguish showing signs of torture, there was no need to say Kondrat tore off the sofa and the bed, and that his nails came off and fell
– damn Haimura! damn Haimuraaaaaaaaaaaaaa! 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 youuuuuuuuuuuu…! This pain won’t be forgiven… This pain won’t be forgiiiiiiiveeeen…!
And finally he scratched off his body because of the pain, peeled his skin and gouged out his flesh Kondrat continued using cursing words while his whole body got all bloody
– Haimura… next time I’ll possess your family… Since there’s no reason for me to take over the bodies of ordinary people… First I’llherself in front of you… Then I’llspree! Obviously you’ll have no choice but to stop him with your ability, no? I’ll make you kill your loved family with your own hands! Hihihi, that’ll work! That’ll work, that’ll work, hihihihi! Such a good idea, I’ll do so! Yeah, I’ll do it like that, hihihihihihihihihihihihi!
He thought of a brutal revenge against Moroha, he dreamed about it and tried to counterbalance the pain somehoith the pleasure of it
But he couldn’t do it at all, he kept trying co himself with more and more cruel delusions
– You’ll i to repay this resentment 100 times, Haimuraaaaa!
The miserable Kondrat was unable to stand up, and searched for the exit of the roorasped to it
It was the beautiful ankle of a wo his sense of sight together with his mind burned, didn’t know that
He tried to ascertain what that was by groping it, so he kept touching it
Then――
– Who allowed you to touchvoice painted with a silent anger
It was really close
He didn’t see Empress Vasilisa’s voice
The voice of the owner, a symbol of fear, was coooseflesh and fell all over hiot up soh, while he was flurried, the pain of his burned otten
– What is this that I heard by surprise? I see that you failed to defeat Hai you for your pardon!
Kondrat entreated while rubbing his forehead on the carpet
– A failure only because of Leshya’syou to ree number of merits I dedicated in favor of Her Majesty! I’m still useful I’ll show that I’ll be useful, I’ll make my best exertions for the sake of Her Majesty! So please, please, spare my life!! And I will order to destroy Hai for his life with impetus
He was startled, tre snot
He aiting for the sentence of Lightning E alive, and he heard
Rustle ――the sound of the rustling of clothes
The sound of Lightning E on her heels and the bottom of the skirt that rubbed the carpet
– Her Majesty has forgiven orously
He shouted in joy
Those were his last words
The sound of a lightning strike in the dim room as if darkness surrounded it reverberated
– I don’t tolerate failure There are no exceptions
Vasilisa wrote carelessly her forte, an Eighth-Rank Dark Arts, and without turning around, she took her leave arrogantly
She was too busy now, there were lots of things to be done
– What can I say, I’m a fair ruler, aren’t I? The failure of “man-eater” won’t be tolerated either Let’s see, who should I send――
Arrogant footsteps, a laughter siotistical ue disappeared into the darkness
What remained in that deserted room was,
No more than a lump of charcoal that couldn’t even be called a burnt corpse
