Chapter 7 (2/2)
The dog’s red eyes captured Tobio At that
——Since this ‘incantation’, it will take everything from Tobio
As his grandht hi in his ear
——You have not yet finished beco a man
Thereupon, the black dog——while narrowing its red eyes its figure was erased
That sequence of memories hat Tobio had recalled at that randht was refreshed within his mind
Tobio, while ehed
It’s okay, Baa-chan
I……am ready to become a man……!
Those who stole the tranquility of ive them
Therefore, Baa-chan
I——will sing {chant}
If they are going to unreasonable assault me, us, then I, ill be unreasonable in return……!
At last Tobio began to speak——
<——i sing=”” for=”” the=”” slaying=”” of=”” a=”” thousand=”” humans=””>>
Tobio and Jin were each enveloped by a black haze This gradually spread, filling up the outlook room
<——i celebrate=”” the=”” slaying=”” of=”” ten=”” thousand=”” goblins=””>>
The black haze was applied to his ar that had been broken, and the pain subsided in an instant
<——the naed=”” in=”” total=”” darkness,=”” that=”” of=”” the=”” ih=”” the=”” polar=”” night=””>>
Tobio immediately stood up Jin who had been completely exhausted——a black shadow spread froed within the darkness
<——thou will=”” perish=”” by=”” mine=”” own=”” black=”” blade=””>>
Tobio’s whole body was covered by the black haze, which was clinging to his body, and was being absorbed His forer the for that differed fro
More and more darkness was expelled outwards fro his new appearance Having forelegs, hindlegs, and possessing a tail, it opened its mouth that had become massive
Being produced in addition to that, it also possessed jet black fur like an enor——no, it was a <hound>> (TN: The japanese uses two different Kanji for dog in this sentence I did my best to capture this)
<——to be=”” so=”” absurd,=”” the=”” God=”” {creator}=”” of=”” the=”” deformed=””>>
As Tobio spoke this final stanza, the jet black <hound>> let loose a penetrating howl
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON……
What had appeared before the eyes of Hiside the brutal humanoid beast clothed in darkness, there was an enor out darkness——
Hi the bodies of the two jet black beasts, was in a trance
“……Magnificent”
Towards hilared with their red eyes
Ikuse Tobio who had been enveloped by clothes of darkness——the beast growled offering a glis
——For the sake of slaying this guy, it’s okay for }’
Minagawa Natsuency’s’ base and soressing through the facility An alarhout the facility’s interior Since the Five Principle Clans, having received Vali’s leak, had released their agents, they were sending those hom Natsume was acquainted, the relatives of the fellow classmates who had been retrieved froic square of transportation
I this base, they had tied up one of the agency me arrived, they had already shut down the equipment in this room, so all that was left was to retrieve theust, swiftly destroying all of the cultivation tanks
Seeing this scene, Vali,
“That’s a good arrangement”
Said only that much with a fearless smile With the destruction of the equipment in this room, it was likely that someone was already aware of this
Natsuan to pick up and eway into the center of the ic circle Vali had had drawn for their relatives, which would send theori Institute
There were still so within the facility, but with the gigantic beast that was the transformed Griffon as an opponent, the ‘Four Fiend’ that had transforust, minced them all
As for the relatives of her fellow classmates that had been put in the cultivation tanks, they had finished transporting all of theori Institute The fellow classmates who had lost their Utsuseic square
“Vali! Are you searching for clues or so? Why are there classmates here and there that you haven’t sent already?”
Natsu his senses to detect any sign
“……I am”
At that report Natsun herself It was okay to take their time It was okay if they caents They had saved everyone! They had rescued all of the fellow classmates!
Thinking about that while wearing a see smile
“……This is also fine”
Vali, having beco to Natsume
“All that’s left is to pick up hiawa Natsume The ‘Hound’——Ikuse Tobio is there”
“B-but!”
She herself also wanted to rescue everyone Anticipating this feeling, Vali shook his head
“Rather than the Utsusemi pupils, if you cannot suppress the ‘Hound’ up above, you realize that you may not have a second chance to return?”
So said Vali Simultaneously, Natsume was left at a loss for words by the pheno within the room
——Fro up
This was familiar It was only natural Since they resembled the warped blades that the puppy Ikuse Tobio possessed——Jin had released It should be that those would sprout from an object’s shadoever, this was different An inexhaustible supply was sprouting fro, the floor, the walls, the various types of equipment—— It didn’t seem like it was limited to this room either In all likelihood, the entire based had sprouted warped blades
Seeing this pheno of Vali’s words
“I understand I’ll go to the place where Ikuse-kun is first”
Announcing this, Natsu this place behind her to Vali
Running through the passageway, she proceeded to take the eht up Fro one after another She steadily ran upwards, cli into a passageway Up ahead she confire double door
Having run until she was before this door, the instant Natsuh the pores all over her body had opened For an instant, her entire body had tre her to feel uneasy Even though she had erased her presence and was acco her whole body to tremble
Gulping down her saliva Natsume entered and looked around——
It was an abnorhout the entire roo froht, soed in shape Floating in this iure as illued antic lion beside hi off an ominous jet black aura, were a pair of beasts
One was a large black dog Although there weren’t any blades growing from his body, the face was that of Jin Were that puppy to have grown up well, its appearance would likely be so like this
Now the other one——while possessing a dog’s for , and its ears stood up like pins Fros could be seen The arm resembled that of a hus were identical to those of a dog, only it was standing on two legs Frorew six tails——
See over in her direction
“……Minagawa Natsuood of you to have come Nice to meet you, I am Himejima Hanezu I presuht?”
Hiency’ Natsume understood that this was the person that had appeared before Ikuse Tobio and Samejima Kouki
Hihts upon the pair of black beasts
“……You should understand soht?”
Regarding His were several ritual i towards the black beasts These ritual i supernatural power, they h the air as they attacked the black beasts!
<kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill killkill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill kill killkilllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!>> (TN: He’s saying “kiru=kill” over and over using different kanji, hiragana, and katakana)
Fro like a curse was being spat out Hearing it made one’s mind feel odd, such was the power possessed by the resentment in this one voice
The tokko Himejima Hanezu has fired, they all failed to score a direct hit Fro, floor, and walls the nu chopped apart
At this result Hi but astonished, he was in ecstasy
“……Already awa Natsume”
He pointed in the direction of a all In all likelihood, this was an outlook roo the scenery outside That scenery——had been repainted in black The entire visible scenery had becoulfed by blackness—— Even the scenery of the sky had been dyed black, wrapping the entire region in jet blackness
……When Natsume had arrived at this base the sun had still been up It should still be too early for the sun to have set already!
As she watched, froantic distorted blades were springing up successively The entirety of the surrounding was being buried by the force of these bizarre blade-like objects
……Natsuain looked in the direction of the black beast Already, Natsume had understood That humanoid black beast must be Tobio In the corner of the roo on the floor
……Seeing that, Natus extreme sadness, he had——
——changed into a beast
Tobio was standing right before her, in the form of a black beast
After releasing a brave roar, the black lion sank into the shadows that had extended beneath its feet Once the lion ithin its shadow, the shadow scattered and began shooting around the rooly with independent will, Tobio h, he i thee blades sprung fro! Some of the blades had captured the black shadow, and the captured shadoas once again for the form of a lion
The lion——had been skewered by the blades, but by violently shaking its huge body it forcibly destroyed he blades With the lion having been released, it raced across the floor at high speed closing the distance to Tobio, but Tobio also vanished in an instant, and without a sound the battle commenced
Tobio and the lion wereat a speed beyond Natsume’s perception as they battled As the two black beasts were battling, there was also a black <hound>> left behind——Jin as steadily walking around the roo mysteriously
With a ZUN! a single large thick blade appeared fro sensed the lion’s movements, had followed up for Tobio Tobio revealed his form as he approached the lion head on
While in that pierced condition the lion breathed out fla Tobio but—— Without any hesitation at all, and without evading, facing straight forward, stabbed into the blaze with both of his sharp hands! He kept stabbing with both hands until they reached the source of the fla out of its mouth!
<kill kill=”” kill=”” kill=”” kill kill kill kill=”” kill=”” kill=”” kill=”” kill kill kill kill=”” kill=”” kill=”” kill=”” kill killkillllllllllllllllllll!!!=””>>
(TN: Essentially, he’s saying “korosu (kill)” over and over but with different kanji and/or using hiragana and katakana That said, not all the kanji actually mean “kill”)
Releasing a shriek of deeply held resentment, Tobio slipped his hands into its mouth and in one forcibly spread them apart!
The lion, its body ripped right in half, tumbled to the floor With the apparent death to its body, the lion melted away into the darkness——
Natsume was unable to watch such an otherworldly spectacle without shuddering There was movement——perhaps she herself would be seen as an opponent as well Such was the degree of the fearso
Tobio and Jin had destroyed the lion As for the next objective, it appeared to be Himejima Hanezu
However, there was a third party that appeared at thatthis scenery, Vali whole body began tre as he smiled with ecstasy
“……In spite of visually confirawa Natsume he’s hasn’t returned to normal ……Azazel……!! Isn’t this different than what you said……!! What was that about a ‘cute dog coon’……!! This is……that monster is……!!”
Putting aside the youth’s tre throughout the room
‘Repainting the surrounding landscape on top of changing into a black beast huh Geez, that I would happen toTool} with such a shady history’
The plush dragon on Vali’s shoulder——itson its own,
The voice of the ‘Governor General’ was co from it
The ‘Governor General’ addressed Himejima Hanezu
‘Yo, chief engineer-dono’
“——!! ……Grigori huh”
Hiuessed as to the identity of the voice he was hearing
‘How about it? His power is quite irregular?’
The tone of the ‘Governor General’s’ voice was cynical
“……This is that ‘Dog’ isn’t it? The one incarnation that overthrows Gods……itof the black blade”
‘Ahh, that’s it That’s the correct understanding His black blade is the one said to cut even God However, in any case, I hear that boy was born naturally being able to express the Sacred Gear’
“Isn’t that so naturally born with that——“
The ‘Governor General’ continued Himejima Hanezu’s words
‘Ahh, that’s right ——Ikuse Tobio was one as naturally born that way’
“…………That such a thing was possible……”
Contrary to Hi fearlessly, Vali narrowed his eyes saying, “It’s not such an irregular thing”
The ‘Governor General’ continued
‘Ikuse Tobio’s grandrandchild as naturally born possessing power to break the balance of the world You guys came casually into contact with that in such a reckless and rudeeverything for the sake of seeing this forht? That co able to freely watch you getting sliced apart’
Hearing that, Himejima Hanezu sneered
“……Kukuku, given the case of the ‘lightning’, as well as this case, even though the bloodline of the Himejima has been cursed, Oji-ue (uncle)……!!”
That sneer, it was a level of ugliness that he hadn’t shown until noever, he put on a satisfied smile
Himejima Hanezu took one step forward His expression was one of satisfaction
“——It should be possible for you with one of those ominous blades”
He took one step towards Tobio, then one ain they were completely shot down He also attacked with the shakujou in his hands, but a blade was produced fro off both of his arain drew closer
——Tobio calmly swiped horizontally with his arm
Approaching until he was right before his eyes, Himejima Hanezu spoke
“The Five Principal Clans, the Himejima, destroy them”
Announcing that, Hi severed fro from the floor——
The black lion, Himejima Hanezu, both had been defeated by Tobio and Jin——
Natsu this happen……
“——Well, how about it? Has it been boring for you having yet to encounter the ‘Red One’, Vali?”
While saying that, the figure of afroiving hih impression
“……It’s just your iination, ‘Governor General’ ——No, Azazel I mean, for you to have come here expressly, particularly since you can sion”
Grinning, the ently brushed Vali’s head
Looking over at Natsuave a self-introduction
“Nice to awa Natsume I am Azazel the ‘Governor General’”
Thisthe one who she had only known by voice, this wasn’t a situation where Natsume would become especially emotional
For starters, they have yet to come up with some means or another to stop Ikuse Tobio as before their eyes Appearing is, there was Lavinia looking completely worn out
“I am just a little bit late, Natsume”
“Lavinia!”
The two of the, Lavinia spoke to the ‘Governor General’——the one called Azazel
“That you would show your honorable face is quite a big deal Governor General Azazel”
While saying this, she looked over at the completely transformed Tobio
“……I see, this is what the big deal is”
Having merely just seen it Lavinia seemed to understand what had happened
Azazel then asked
“Lavinia ……Did those guys escape?”
Lavinia sighed
“I feel very regretful”
“No, fro I had understood that they would extremely troublesome”
Shrugging his shoulders, Azazel set his sights on Tobio
“Now then, Lavinia, Vali ——Let’s stop that Lend me your power”
Azazel took one step forward and Vali began following right behind him
“Good grief, I’ do I have to put up with this cruelty?”
Lavinia also took off her worn out hat, and began advancing towards Tobio
“Toby, please coh?”
The three of them selected a fixed distance
Gloings grew froic formed beneath Lavinia’s feet, and simultaneously she summoned the ice princess to appear beside her
As cold air began to circulate within the roos appear from his back with a kasakasa sound!
Lavinia spread her arms, and the princess simultaneously did the same The room was instantly frozen Even the countless blades that were sprouting up had been frozen over, Lavinia’s world of ice Tobio and Jin had also been encased in ice However, the ice engulfing thean to crack
“Ikuse’s Baa-chan! You had used Buddhist e it!”
Fro si a token to his hand, he opened the sutra The sutra started glowing, withcharacters, they surrounded Tobio and Jin while laced with power The characters beca chain that bound Tobio and Jin
The encaseether with the characters fro Tobio and Jin——
“Vali! Steal his power now!”
Hearing Azazel’s order, Vali quickly flapped his light wings and closed in on Tobio and Jin, touching each of them once
The silver haired youth snapped his fingers while floating in the air
“——Halve”
‘Divide!!’
A powerful voice reverberated within the roo Tobio had immediately been reduced Furtherht released fros in concert with it
Gradually Tobio and Jin were losing power As they watched, the darkness outside was steadily clearing, and the gigantic blades were beginning to crack After a short while, Tobio dropped to his knees on the spot And siions, the countless blades cru Tobio had coan to beco bent down on the spot——
Due to the tea to ith the total conclusion of the supernatural pheno to hoas originally Visible through the glass as the splendid mountain forest scenery that was spread out before them
Confirhed
“——Pheith this one task has been completed huh The Himejima follow shi+ntoism, yet she was familiar with the sutra of Buddhisrandmother”
Leaving behind Azazel assuch words, Natsume rushed towards Tobio who had returned to normal
“Ikuse-kun!”
Natsu He……was still breathing
He was alive! He was still alive……!! She was able to confir was also breathing while lying down
Lavinia placed a hand on Natsume’s shoulder
“Everyone, they are all safe Now, let us return, Natsume”
Natsu tears aith her arm, nodded——
