Chương 98: Chapter 64:”Defeat Master Megil”

I briefly examined Argus's right arm. Blood was dripping, and from the cleanly severed cross-section, dark red flesh and bone exposed a figure too painful to look at. Just looking at it made me feel sick.

"We have to treat it quickly." But he shook his head firmly.

"No, it's fine. The arm won't attach anyway. I tied it properly, so I probably won't die."

"But it's still a dangerous condition."

"True. Well, let me rest a bit. You chase that bastard Tor right now."

"But."

"Just go. Unless someone defeats him, it won't end." A resolute will could be felt from Argus's eyes. I know well that once it comes to this, he won't move even with a lever.

"I understand. You always act stubborn. Make sure to rest properly."

"Yeah." I transform into a man and immediately search for Tor's Qi. The reaction is moving underground. Trying to escape? I cornered him this far. I won't let him escape.

"I'm going."

"Yeah. Make sure to beat him up." Applying Qi Reinforcement, I run at full speed. Searching for an entrance to the underground somewhere, I found something like an elevator. Getting in, it seems to be an elevator after all. When I pressed the button marked "B1," it began to descend slowly. His reaction was already far away from the castle. And at considerable speed. Probably rode something? So I decided to call everyone through the communication device. 『This is Yu. Everyone, listen.

Argus and I managed to defeat Clam. 』 『You did it! 』 『You did it. Yu-dono. 』 Starting with Alice and Dreet-san's happy voices, voices of joy can be heard from each. And there, I arrived at the first basement floor. The elevator door opens. In the back, that transparent tube is visible. I see. Did he ride that? 『So, Tor is escaping now. He's heading north of the Royal Palace through that tube. Is anyone nearby? 』 『We're relatively close. But right now, we're in a situation where we can't take our hands off!

』 『It's quite a pinch. 』 Rough breaths were mixed in Alice and Milia's voices. 『Then leave it to us! We're just close right now! 』 『Finally, the opportunity for punishment has come around. 』 Next heard were the reliable voices of Karla-senpai and Ketty-senpai. 『Please! I'm heading to him right now too! 』 Cutting off communication, I run earnestly. Entering the tube, it extended long and narrow ahead like a rail. As expected. It looks exactly like that Sky Tube. Or rather, it looks like the thing itself.

Is there such a coincidence? Soon a flying car, Sky Lift, comes. Boarding immediately, I wished to head north. Then as expected, it accelerated without sound or resistance and began to slide through the air. Although I felt impatient, I had nothing to do while moving. I looked up at the sky somehow. The barrier, which was red when seen from the outside, is made to look transparent from the inside. It seems to be made so as not to obstruct vision. I could clearly see the sun setting.

Looking in the opposite direction, the blue full moon has already begun to rise. But the state of that moon is strange. Rather, it is in a normal state. The moon, which should be getting bigger by approaching, looks exactly the same size as usual. Surely it's not that it returned to its original position without doing anything. That means, perhaps from inside Edel, the change of the moon cannot be seen? I wondered why, but I immediately rethink that it makes sense. Tor's purpose is strictly to rule the world.

As expected, he didn't seem to desire the destruction of the world. A guy so tenacious as to spend over three hundred years on his plan, letting the world be destroyed because of his own ambition. If he knew such a thing, I can't predict what kind of action he would take. There might be a chance he would stop Edel with his own hands. To prevent that from happening by mistake, Will had prepared a Phantom Moon to be absolutely sure. He intended to destroy the world while showing Tor a sweet dream to the end.

Tor doesn't realize. That he is completely dancing on Will's palm. Using people thoroughly and discarding them like trash. Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original. In the end, he was just being used by someone too. Pitiful guy. Truly unsaveable. Let's end such a war quickly. I've had enough of wars that benefit no one but him. Tor got off the [Granselnoun]. The altar north of the Royal Palace is already visible right in front of him.

A formula has already been applied to the altar. All that's left is to get there. If I go, I can get overwhelming power. If I do that— But when he realized, two women he knew well were standing there. One is a former confidant subordinate. One is a student.

"You guys...!"

"What are you doing in a place like this? Master."

"We wanted to see you. Sensei." The two emphasized the end of their sentences and called him that deliberately.

"... What a coincidence. I have urgent business. Talk later—" Before he could finish saying until the end, Ketty interrupted. Her eyes were filled with hatred looking at an enemy, capturing his face straight and not letting go. Tor felt a desperate premonition.

"You. Stole the most beloved person from my most precious best friend."

"So... what about it?"

"I will absolutely never forgive you." Ketty releases Dark Blade Magic [Kilbash] while glaring at Tor. There is no mercy added during the match. It was a momentum just to kill with that alone. In contrast, Tor tries to dodge using Acceleration Spacetime Magic [Chroluence]. But Karla countered with Time Delay Spacetime Magic [Chrolorum] and cancelled its effect.

"Guh!" His flank was cut cleanly, and fresh blood dripped from there.

"Eeei! Move out of the way!" If only I can reach there. It will work out somehow! From such a thought, Tor tries to force his way forward regardless of injury. Karla put her hand on the ground and bound his hands and feet firmly with her specialty Earth Magic.

"Do you think I'll let you pass?"

"Kuh!" Bound tightly by thick stone chains, Tor becomes completely unable to move. While glaring at him without negligence, Karla closes in on him step by step. When she finally approached within reach, she pointed and said.

"To you. There was something I wanted to say for a long time."

"That I deceived you until now?"

"That's fine. Because you reap what you sow. But—" Karla puts strength into her fist giri-giri. In her eyes, anger fiercer than anything else dwelt.

"How dare you! To the subordinates who believed in you and followed you!"

"Hebu!" Her fist sinks into his left cheek.

"How dare you! To my precious friends and companions!"

"Ubo!" The fist on the opposite side captures the right cheek and blows his face in the opposite direction. He groaned in intense pain.

"How dare you... How dare you do that to Eike!" And the whole-body right straight released with deep emotion. Punched through Tor's face from the front and completely crushed his nose. Tor, whose whole face is swollen red and nosebleed dripping miserably, staggers dizzily. She still glared ki and raised her fist.

"You are...! You are...!" Due to the heightened emotions, tears were floating in her eyes. Finally, she choked on her words and couldn't continue. Following her, Ketty said.

"For you alone, even dropping you to hell a hundred times isn't enough." Chanting Ice Magic [Hilsoak]. That magic that once froze Alice's right arm in the Magic Tournament, this time made Tor's right arm exactly the same state.

"Guu!"

"Next is the left arm. I'll hurt you so much that you can never do bad things again. Then I'll have you judged properly in front of the public." If both arms become completely unusable. It's the end of the line. Reaching a situation where he would be finished off in a little bit, Tor distorted his face with regret more than anything. Damn it. In a place like this. Are you saying I lose? Without being able to do anything. Are you saying my long-standing ambition collapses in a place like this?

I won't let that happen!

"I have my pride tooooooooo!" Tor activated that Blast Magic he once gave to Vester. And in a form that involves even himself. Forcefully. Due to the suddenness, Karla and Ketty were forced to jump back. While being tattered by his own magic, he succeeded in releasing the restraint by the blast. Poking a momentary gap, he uses [Chroluence] again. And he passed the two at once.

"Oh no!"

"Bad!" When the two panicked, he finally reached the altar. The formula drawn on the magic circle resonates with the mark he had put on himself in advance. The technique of [Demonization] is applied.

"Fuhahahaha! Power, power is overflowing...!" When I reached the front of the northern altar, a pillar of red light was rising from the altar. On the side, Karla-senpai and Ketty-senpai are looking at it with regretful faces. Noticing I came, the two held their heads apologetically.

"Damn it! He got us!"

"His magic power is rising rapidly. This might be a little bad." I said to the seniors as if it were nothing, so as not to worry about the failure.

"I'll go defeat him. Please stay away a little."

"What are you saying! Of course we're going too!"

"No, I'm fine alone." Stopping Karla-senpai, I climb the stairs of the altar step by step with a calm gait. In the meantime, the rising light subsided. When I finished climbing the stairs, there was the figure of Tor who had changed completely. His body has become two sizes larger, his skin is hard, and it has turned bright red like that of a Flame Dragon. Fangs extend from his mouth, and two horns grow from his forehead. He looks like a non-human monster. When he recognized my figure, he laughed loudly.

I wonder what is so fun. And after laughing for a while and calming down, he said.

"Yu, huh."

"I came to defeat you. Give up."

"Defeat me? Kukkukku! Interesting joke!" Tor slams his fist violently against the ground. Then just with that, the large altar at his feet shattered into pieces. I jump back to the bottom of the stairs instantly to avoid the flying stone fragments. He landed on the rubble of the altar he blew away without a trace, looking triumphant.

"Look! This overwhelming power! Now I have obtained power far exceeding even that dragon!"

"So what." That was my honest impression. Certainly, the power is amazing. I feel terrifying magic power too. But— As expected. I understood well just from his movement now.

"Hmph... First, I'll blood sacrifice you, cheeky brat. Regret that you defied me thoroughly!" A right fist full of power approaches. If it hits, I will undoubtedly die chopped into pieces. It's a blow with that much power. Against such a blow, I— [Senkraze] One slash, two pieces. Including his right arm, I cut cleanly up to a part of his torso. He probably doesn't understand what happened. Obvious astonishment color floated on his face.

"No, way...!" His completely changed huge body fell on the spot as if collapsing. Certainly, there might be power. There might be magic power. At least much more than the current me. But, that's all. No matter how tough the body is, it is brittle if I concentrate attack on the part where consciousness is weak. And against you, an amateur whose use of power is not good at all, it is easy to do that. At the point when you, who are just big-headed, came out to the front, the match was already settled.

In the battle with you guys, how many death lines do you think I have slipped through? How many paper-thin offenses and defenses do you think I have survived? Compared to that, you are no big deal. You are full of openings. The guys I've fought so far were much stronger. Tor seemed to have no energy to stand up anymore. Holding his severed right arm, raising a pathetic groan, crouching unsightly. Looking down at such a guy, I announced quietly.

"It's over. Tor Guief."

"Gu... Gu...!" At that time, I felt Edel begin to fall slowly. It's a nice timing as if arranged. Finally, gravity seems to have exceeded the buoyancy by the orbs. Communication comes in. It was from Alice and Milia. 『Orb destruction successful! It was dangerous, but we managed somehow! 』 『Yu. We are heading there now too. 』 Finishing briefly, the communication cuts off. To Tor who is surprised that Edel suddenly started falling, I gave the finishing words.

"Soon Edel will fall to the ground."

"Wha, what...!?"

"With this, your ambition is truly over too! The winners are us!" Hearing that, he trembled his whole body wana-wana. And as if squeezing out regret and chagrin, he raised a wail.

"Dammit allllllllllllllll—!" One battle was settled. From here on, it will be a battle of whether the moon stops. I don't know what will happen. But, we—"Boring. What a letdown." From out of nowhere. That voice was heard. I don't even want to remember. But a voice engraved in my mind so much that I can't forget. The next moment. The barrier covering the sky above Edel— All shattered and disappeared without a trace. The Blue Moon rising in the night sky. Its true form is exposed.

It was approaching as if it would reach the surface at any moment, trying to swallow everything in the world into the darkness of destruction. No way— No matter what, it's too fast. And— He appeared. With the blue moon at his back, slowly descending from beyond the sky. A black shadow shining in the pale moonlight. That standing figure that even makes one think it is somewhat divine. It was like a messenger of God appearing at the end of the world. But, he is—. He is the one who—.

Eventually, he landed a little away from me and opened his mouth quietly.

"Long time no see. Yu." A boy with the same black hair as me. Slightly shorter than me. A boy with an atmosphere somewhat similar to me. With the same jet-black eyes as that time, cold like ice and invisible emotion, he was capturing me. The Destroyer of the World. Will has arrived.
