Vol 6 Chapter 90 (1/2)

Celes’ Ability

“He’s already dead, mind you It was in the way, so we cremated him, hut and all”

The snow covered, usually-deserted road had amassed numerous onlookers on both end

They were all watching Celes, and not a soul moved to put a stop to this farce

And I…

“Zell was my life’s savior!”

I glared at her

My body was unable to ed to work myself up

After I gripped the Jewel, I heard the Fifth’s voice from within

『Lyle, run with all you’ve got! Don’t you dare fight!』

They all screamed at me to avoid any battle To run away

It’s the first ti like this had ever happened

They had happily eggedCeles’ threat level as far, far higher

The Seventh

『Lyle, I thought of that as nothing but a yellow Geained an existence to impart its Skills like us, then it would have to be…』

Celes could surely make use of multiple Skills

But at the saht

(I can’t just leave her rampant!)

Having ventured into the world outside, I becaularity

My younger sister… if I left her be here, it would surely bite me down the road

I pulled at the Jewel as if to tear it fro froiant sword

Celes looked on it with soue

The surrounding knights and oldiers put their hands to their weapons, but Celes chuckled and took charge

“Don’t get in the way of my fun”

Great sword in er in my left The ancestors called to stop me

The Third in a panic

『Lyle, get the hell away already That’s soht!』

The Fourth tried to persuade me

『S those feelings for now She seerovel or do whatever it takes to h this alive!』

The Fifth was the same

『This instant is enough Just stomach it for this very moment!』

The Sixth yelled at me

『Just look who you’re pointing your blade at! You can’t match up!』

The Seventh as well

『Lyle, that is not your sister Celes It’s a monster An opponent where your defeat can’t be helped! Now choose the path that leads to your own survival!』

I took a quick glance at Eva on the ground with her broken arm

Shannon’s entire body was in pain fro thrown

“… I don’t want to”

The Third was…

『Lyle…』

“Fearing and tre her speak ill of all I’ve ever obtained, even if I survived, I would never be able to forgive myself”

Before rin

It was an unsightly smile e fascination for it

“And whoto? There seems to be seven people worth of memories in that… ah, could it be the past heads? To have chosen a failure like you, I’ it quite a bit But…”

Before she could go on, I took a large step forward

“… If they’re of the caliber to have chosen such a failure in the first place, they can’t be anything special themselves”

The sword I could barely even lift in both hands before could now be swung around in one Because of the Skills iht

【Full Burst】strengthened my body several times over

【Field】 and 【Select】 letsituation, and lock onto her

【Up n’ Down】 raisedhers

【Dirasp of the terrain

【Spec】 told me wherever she was, and what state she was in

Using six Skills at once, I cut at her

But Celes smiled

She curved her lips, and stopped the giant hunk of a blade with her slender rapier

“How interesting So it becomes a weapon… hmm, so rare metal can be used like that… seriously, is that really it?”

She posed a question to herself, and acted as if she answered the question by herself as well

But I could understand that action

“How many!?”

“What’s up?”

“How many memories are recorded in that Jewel!?”

I pushed power onto the blade as if to crush her

The snow on the ground was pressed down, but Celes herself didn’t er, she had already grasped its blade

“Guh!”

She didn’t even think to answer the question I posed Not that I thought she’d tell the truth either

I just thought it would serve a slight diversion

Rather than unflustered, it seems her perception of me as an opponent reduced

“Hht, those ancestors are nothing special”

I pulled back the dagger, and returned it to its sheath

Using bothin htest

“Your power increased Speed as well I think it’s a little harder for me toso, but…”

I jumped back to try and take some distance from her

But Celes stepped in,fro me back with her rapier in one hand

(Just where is this power co from…)

“There’s only a single one recorded inJewel in your hands, mine is a real Jewel”

Yelloas supposed to manifest Rear Guard Skills

Meaning that she has at least one of those on her person

It would be a different story if the rapier itself and her accessories were Skill-iems interfered with one another

Rear Guard had ic-related offensive Skills It’s often the case that a ic one specializes in becomes a Skill in itself

The Fourth spoke

『Just one? At least one Skill? Two at most… is there really a Skill that powerful?』

Whenever I tried to gain ground, she closed just asas if she was only playing around

After being kicked out, I learned to use Skills I experienced Growth But it was all still just a game

“I’ic I’m sure you’ve improved at least a little”

With a bored look, she was a distance away in an instant

It was a speed I could only see as instantaneous, and it was only barely through my Skills that I could tell she had physically moved at all

Clenching my teeth, I held up my left hand

(Take aim…)

“Thunder Clap!”

Lightning roared, and bolts fell down from the clouded sky

Celes looked up

“Magic shi+eld”

A simple wall of Mana nullified my attack She seemed a little disappointed, and uninterested…

“Is the one behind you your woman? Well, if she’s not, my deepest condolences… hey, if you can stand ot to be soood at, brother”

Calling me ‘brother’ with a full-on s overto make some sort of move, so I braced myself

… When the lightning rung out, Novem was able to confirm Lyle’s location

The side streets weretrouble pinning down his location

Behind Novems hurried dash, ran Monica in her maid outfit

“I’ll be going ahead”

Saying that, she overtook Novem

Watching Monica run off in a speed one couldn’t think hu obver whether she’d make it in time

To Aria running behind, Novem spoke

“Aria-san, can you use your Skill? Use it consecutively and get to where that lightning bolt struck?”

As Novem said that, Aria displayed some disapproval

“It’s not i distances like Lyle will be hard”

“I don’t mind If it’s for an instant’s explosive speed, then yours is the superior Please make consecutive use of that”

Aria grasped the gem around her neck, and went ahead She accelerated at a rate that could even surpass Monica’s

After seeing that, Nove behind, before looking up at the sky

Lights brought about by htning had struck

(… I can make it I can still make it)

She tightened her grip on the staff in her right hand…
