Arifureta Chapter 148 (2/2)

Donner was pointed at the te intent wasn’t settled yet He was ht stop the heart of a normal person No matter who saw it, it appeared that Haji blow

But, a desperate voice resonated at that ti

“Nagumo-kun! Please, stop! I’ll persuade Kouki, so-“

It was shi+zuku While locked in a sword fight with the false Kouki, she begged for him to spare Kouki’s life with a look colored by fretfulness But it beca, and the develop that the false ie wished for

Therefore…

{How about shi+zuku leave the stage for a little bit?}

“Agh?!”

The shockwave froe launched and assaulted shi+zuku shi+zuku was struck like that on her whole body, and she was bloay altogether with her consciousness until she hit the wall and collapsed powerlessly while sliding onto the ground

Because a crossbit interfered between the two just before the attack hit and became a shi+eld, it seemed that shi+zuku was rescued from a direct hit, but for shi+zuku who had a low defensive power even in the best of tiht of a hero’s pure output, added by Kouki’s thorough rejection of his own negative e far stronger than the real one, just a glancing blow turned into a sufficient enough telling blow Different fro attack, it was a shockwave that induced cerebral concussion, so without taking a recovery measure she wouldn’t open her eyes for a while

The false ie of Kouki floated a satisfied s shi+zuku faint, he then turned on his heel and faced Hajime And then, with a really natural motion, he thrust out his black holy sword and launched a strong boht

The approaching flash that was drawing in a spiral was on a course that would s Kouki with certainty too Was the false iether?… Anyway, Hajime withdrew from that spot He left Kouki behind

“UWAAAAH!”

Kouki reflexively screaht boan to chase after Hajime

Hajiic eye stone and easily succeeded in pinpoint sniping that dispersed the attack However, the false ied to distance Hajime from Kouki just as planned

The false i into the ear of the laid-down Kouki While his rin that looked like a crescentsords looked like a deure was his other self anymore like that

Before long, Kouki’s bloodshot gaze was looking alternately at Hajie, and he then nodded reluctantly

Right after that, the figure of the false ie reddish-black particles of light began to whirl

{Now you It’s hero time Let’s rescue the heroines from the scoundrel!}

“Shut up- I’ you for now! After defeating Naguet that-“

At the sa into Kouki’s body and Kouki’s body began to pulse dokun dokun A pulsating sound began to echo inside the rooan to be mixed with a reddish-black color that looked like a blood vessel

Kouki slowly stood up Looking carefully, the wounds in his shoulder and leg were also healing It appeared that the derivative ability Kouki had, ‘Healing Strength Improvement’ was explosively increased

DOPAN-! DOPAN-!

There, a shooting without questions asked So thefor the transfor that Hajime didn’t have And while he was at it, he also threw several grenades

Red flashes gouged Kouki’s shoulder and leg,him unsteady on his feet

Furtherrenades exploded in flame and he ed in it

“That’s pointless”

But what came out from the flame wasn’t what turned Kouki into tatters, but those words

That voice sounded like it was including joy in it so in happiness It seeic power that had changed colors from pure white into reddish-black burst up and bleay the flame

There, the figure of Kouki who became odd-eyed with one of his eyes dyed reddish-black appeared Even the scar froe in his appearance wasn’t just his eye, his originally brown hair was mixed hite mesh, his holy aries Furtherrasped

“You combined?”

“It’s notyou, then I’ll resign uy too”

“What are you acting like a good kid for? You are just losing to the temptation”

“You can insult ainst th then I can take back everything!”

“Why you are unable to notice that you got hit by loss because of that, I wonder”

“No umo-! ‘Supreme Break’!”

Magic power burst up from Kouki in an even further scale of several times more The last derivative of ‘Limit Break’ that raised up all his status by five tith of Kouki who had taken in his false ie had already reached the total of ten thousand It was literally a rate of increase in monster level

Kouki ure hazed

“Haah!”

A yell of spirit could be heard behind Hajime Kouki had circled at Hajime’s back instantly Two holy swords trailed behind white and reddish blacka cross at Hajime’s back

Hajime didn’t even look back

(Got him!)

Thesound resonated At the saether with a fierce impact, a red

flash pierced his torso that became defenseless The defensive power of the armor that had been drastically increased and the ‘Physical Resistance’ skill as well as its derivative ‘Iation’ made the attack not fatal, but an i the serious body blow of a heavyweight boxer attacked Kouki and blew hirandly backward

‘How? He should not be able to react’, even while his breath was blocked up, Kouki rearranged his stance in the air and landed Ahead of his gaze, there was the appearance of Donner’sback

Looking at that, Kouki realized that it wasn’t because Hajime couldn’t react, it was that he didn’t even need to turn back Kouki’s expression distorted in hu down his twin holy swords while screa the pain in his stomach

“‘Heaven Soaring Sword – Storm’!”

Like that, what he launched was hundreds of slashes scattered in a wide range Just the visible blades of light had been already in a hundred, and nearly three hundred blades of ere following, lurking at the shadow The attack was already at a level of obliteration ic

But such a storin the wind, what couldn’t be evaded ept aside or averted

Further Hajime suddenly aimed Donner at Kouki with a natural ap of the storm

The bullet that went through the gap like a joke stabbed under Kouki’s feet and scattered grand shockwave, overturning Kouki from under his feet

And then Hajih the storm of blades and approached Kouki with speed equal, no, it was faster than Kouki, and he kicked Kouki as though he was a soccer ball

“Guah!?”

Kouki who raised a groan while thrown to the air was ai

Kouki i ‘Sky Force’ to try to escape from the line of fire, but the two revolvers’ muzzles didn’t shi+ft from Kouki even for a bit and aimed at his future spot Kouki’s expression unintentionally cramped

The scene becah Kouki and Hajime’s senses were stretched out Inside the world of dull color, just before Hajiure of shi+zuku at the corner of his sight Her figure that desperately tried to persuade Kouki and her entreaty to spare his life flashed at the back of Hajiure of Kaori as also this guy’s childhood friend

Hajiun ers consecutively with blurring speed

DOPAAAAN!

The sound of a single gunshot that was slightly stretched was the proof of the simultaneous shots Like a reversely-restoredKouki in the air with blows Like a akun gakun Kouki’s body shook while drawing a parabolic arc

Kouki was scattering blood spray while he fell on the slightly distanced spot with a raw sound dosha! that resonated Looking froed by uess was denied immediately by the move the twin holy swords as support

Blood was spurting out fros, but those were healed in ahis look even ruesomely There was not even a trace of the hero as stuffed with the dream and hope of the people anymore

“You are holding back? Are youfun of me?”

All of the places he was shot at weren’t vital spots It was an attack that was transparently tried to make the opponent powerless Therefore, Kouki felt like he wasn’t even seen as an opponent even though here he was fighting to kill Inside his chest, aup

Haji easily as though it was nothing

“Well, you who fall that far is just troublesoashi+ and Kaori will cry I’ll beat you up appropriately and I’ll leave the rest to your childhood friends”

“-, don’t screith ht now!”

Oncecloser Hatred and jealousy were attached on his face

It seeirls more than himself, it made severe displeasure fill his chest

Fierce swordplay assaulted Haji was handled by hi that the black e in Kouki and he shouted, unable to bear it

“You-, soh you understand! The one who really understand shi+zuku and Kaori is me- The one who treasured the two of theether with the two of theuy like you!”

“… You are like a brat throwing tantrum”

Slipping through the twin holy swords Kouki brandished, Hajie zero However, the current Kouki was unstoppable by soh holes were opened in his body, it was healed with power that literally surpassed any lied

That figure was exactly like Haji a tantru as he wished it

As though hailing Kouki’s negative emotion, the spec of his flesh that had passed its li even thened and Kouki hi that

Looking at the spec, Kouki was already at the level that neared Hajime without ‘Limit Break’ activated The storht that resembled the apostle of God ‘Nointo’, even so, his poas still increasing as though to say that it still wasn’t enough

“OOOOOOOOO-“

“…”

The shrieking of fighting spirit surged from Kouki’s mouth On the other hand, Haji to a level that wasn’t inferior to Nointo even though it wasn’t superior too, but Haji spirit like what he exchanged with Nointo once And then as expected, he also didn’t take a plunge into ‘Limit Break’

It didn’t reach Kouki’s attack No ot, it didn’t even graze Hajime

The reason was simple The user’s mental area was inexperienced, on top of that it was dull The attack was frenzied and lacked cal to crush the opponent and soaked in joy Soainst anyone, in any kind of place, would surely not reach

And, at that time, a part of the ice wall behind Kouki e opened Haji off Kouki’s war cry and vilification, there Yue and others, all the members came out

Seeing Hajiht, their eyes opened wide and they stood still with a dumbfounded look However, Kouki didn’t even notice the intent earnestly in order to kill Hajime

“If only, if only you weren’t here, everything will go well! Kaori and also shi+zuku would belong to me forever! I would have saved this world as a hero! You, you are the one that !”

“…”

“Even though you are a killer- Even though you easily abandoned others- There is no way someone who is the worst can be liked by people!”

“… And so, I brainwashed them?”

“That’s right! There is no other explanation except that! Kaori and shi+zuku, and Yue and shi+a and Tio too, everyone was brainwashed and played around by you Sooner or later you are going to brainwash Ryuutaro and Suzu too, aren’t you!? I won’t let you I am a hero I’ll save everyone fro! You are not needed anymore-!”

That scream was also audible to Yue and others too The eyes of Yue and shi+a narrowed dangerously, and Tio frowned in displeasure In contrast, Kaori covered his mouth with both hands from the shock she received She didn’t even have any word toward the absurd grievance of his childhood friend that was too egoist Ryuutaro and Suzu were also the sa completely stiff

Haji that this was really one troubleso ‘Telepathy’ to Yue and others

{Looks like you all are safe too}

{… Nn All good Rather than that, what’s with that idiot?}

{That’s right He is saying a really reprehensible thing}

Yue and shi+a returned back to a tone that felt angry Their beloved person was cursed unfavorably and in the end was declared as unneeded In addition, they inadvertently also couldn’t sto them without an honorific

Hajime leaked out a small smile at the two

{To explain it sie and now he is in the er with his convenient interpretation in full throttle He took in his false ith was raised Looks like he can clear the trial if he regains hiashi+, she tried to persuade him but in the end, she ended up like that}

Hajime threw a kick at Kouki’s knee to aze at shi+zuku’s direction Yue and others whose attention were lured by Hajiazes there and discovered the fainted shi+zuku

{shi+zuku-chan!}

{She wasn’t hit directly She shouldn’t be seriously wounded, but for the moment, look at her Kaori}

{Oh, of course! Leave it to me!}

Kaori as petrified recovered her senses when she saw shi+zuku’s figure and she rushed at her in panic

That motion finally made Kouki notice the existence of Yue and the others too He took distance froaze at them ide eyes, next he smiled widely at them

“Everyone, you all cauy and release everyone right now”

Kouki’s words o past displeasure and now they directed a pitying gaze at hie, Ryuutaro and Suzu came back to their senses and they yelled desperately

“Just what are you saying, Kouki? What the hell! Come back to your senses!”

“Kouki-kun, pull yourself together! The one that you umo-kun, it’s yourself!”

Hearing those heartfelt yells of the two, instead of being happy, Kouki’s expression turned into rage As expected, the target of that rage was Hajime

“… Nagumo Don’t tell me, you have even brainwashed Ryuutaro and shi+zuku? Just how rotten are you? Howto steal from me until you are satisfied?!

Ah, I see I understand right now Even Eri… that was your work, huh? I thought that it was strange that she changed like that But, if that was because of your brainwashi+ng, then everything makes sense”

“It doesn’t make sense you know, idiot”

“Making excuses this late is just unsightly I’ll make you atone for your sin for sure”

“I think that idiocy to your level is already a big enough sin, though…”

Kouki screaic power fiercely whirled The surrounding ground was bloay just fro was obliterated It see the treic power

“There is no way I’ to wait for you, you know”

With an exasperated expression, Hajime took out a Bola from ‘Treasure Warehouse’ and threw it to Kouki Because he was in the ot splendidly entangled, he was fixed in place with both his hands bounded immobile in the air

“Ugh, you coward But, just this much-“

It seemed that a villain that couldn’t read the ic power evenas it wasn’t Nointo then it shouldn’t be possible to escape from it in several seconds, in that ti

Yes, in Hajirasped before anyone are What was different fro mouth that could be filled with a basket ball smoothly ide open

A lued in that large firing mouth

Magic power cannon ‘Grenzen’――a pure ic power bombardment artifact From his experience in Merujiine Undersea Ruins, there was also soic power attack would be useful, so Hajih until now, there was no chance to use it, so it was so that was shelved

The derivative of ‘Magic Power Manipulation’ that was ‘Magic Power Eic Power Coic Power Recovery’ and its derivative ‘Magic Source Absorption’, all those skills were used as a base and included into the ic power but also the ic so it could coic poas then the et would be bloay

And then right now the aic poas in the amount that would easily surpass ten thousand if it was converted into a status nuthened outside of the proper track, Kouki was continuously consuht The result was so that could be easily understood

“Even if you deny your oords, at the very least you should accept Yaegashi+’s words”

Hajiic power at Kouki as opening his eyes wide in panic, and then the trigger was pulled

“You-, if only you were not here- I――”

The scream that was filled with Kouki’s hatred resonated The next en traced a spiral, turning into a boure was completely sithout any spot spared

shi+zuku as healed by Kaori had opened her eyes, and then Ryuutaro and Suzu gulped audibly The silent bombardment that didn’t make any roar or destruction dyed the spacious rooarnet In a certain , it was a spectacle that could be called fantastical

Before long the thick flash thinned down, it melted into the air and dispersed After that, it was as expected there was no trace of destruction at all, and Kouki appeared without any wound The binding due to the Bola had been released

karan-! karan-!

The stiff sound resonated It was the sound of Kouki dropping his two holy swords At the sa Looking at it, Kouki’s eye that was reddish-black also returned to norinal color Reddish-black veins also disappeared from the holy armor It appeared that he had completely returned to normal

“My, ain… I will take back, everything…”

Hajiic power cannon had bloay the factor of the false i with his return to his original appearance, the ht now, Kouki could only feel the slight ic power just before it dried up

Kouki was desperately tying down his consciousness that even noas going to sink into darkness while repeating talk in deliriu to pick up his holy sword even while staggering

There Hajime who had stored back Grenzen into ‘Treasure Warehouse’ approached, he grasped Kouki’s collar and lifted hi hand was too strong that he could only groan

Seeing Haji to get killed and he was about to juh to say that it would be okay

Hajiaze at Kaori and shi+zuku ere cuddling close to each other Kaori and also shi+zuku were directing Haji at those two and he shrugged his shoulders with an air of ‘really it can’t be helped’ The expression of the two softened gently

Hajiain threords with cal

“Start over your life fro once more, you stupid, foolish idiot”

Right after, Hajiht hand, his bare fist, captured Kouki’s face It was ht fist

GOGA-! Such sound resonated, and like that Kouki was struck into the ground and his consciousness was easily cut off, but the whites of his eyes were barely open

Kaori and shi+zuku rushed close, and the other members too

Haji if his “Let’s Increase the Meat shi+eld in Preparation of the Worst Case That There is a lot of Nointo Strategy” was actually cursed He scratched at his cheek while sighing deeply at how troublesome this was
