“Now then, next will be you then, Great God of Destruction”
“ …”
Even when pointed with the sword that was spilling a violet miasma, Destroia ignored Phellibus .
Her eyes were just directed towards the house Setsu had disappeared in .
“So you can afford to look away I see . If it is the current you, then even I can defeat you――――――――”
“Really…”
“Gh!”
“A mere likeness of a sword… can even gain victory against me?”
Phellibus reflexively took distance .
The god of destruction he knew of was a symbol of power so overwhelming one would completely crumble away by merely approaching her .
Now she does not even look like what she used to be .
She was supposed to not even look like what she used to be, but…
(What am I being afraid of, me… If it is the current Great God of Destruction, then there is even the possibility of her having less divine power than I do . And yet… No visions of me being able to win is coming to me…)
“You certainly do not have to be so frightened of me . The one who will bring you down will not be me”
“Excuse me?”
“Hey, come out now”
From the house a hole was opened in, Setsu appeared while kicking away blocks of wood .
His clothes were torn everywhere and he seems to have received some damage, but his way of walking was steady .
“Haah… It’s my turn next right?”
◆◆◆
“You look full of energy”
“Of course I do”
What the hell are you grinning about . I’m gonna sentence you to a tickling punishment, you know Stroh .
“Oh, what’s wrong? Herbivore face . Is it that unexpected that I’m all fine?”
“ … I am surprised . Never did I think you would look so healthy you see . But, what do you mean to do with that broken sword? With that dull a blade you won’t cut me even if you were to hit me”
To call this boy dull… Well, he at least called himself a sacred sword, he should at least have the strength to talk big .
Or rather, I actually experienced his strength .
“Well yeah, I can’t kill you with Kuromaru . But you know, this ain’t my only weapon you know . ”
“ …?”
I hold out my hand to the empty sky and call its name .
“Feed yourself, <Hungry Fang>!”
The airspace broke and from the center, a sword grip appeared .
When I grasp it tightly and pulled it out, miasma flowing out from the crack gathered and became an edge with a large mouth .
“Wha… what is… that”
“A sacred sword thing like you”
I thrust Gluttony towards Phellibus .
Right now it’s quite hungry .
It should be able to consume him if he’s like this .
“Are you saying… A thing like that is a sacred sword…?”
“?”
For some reason he’s saying something I don’t really get .
They’re fellow sacred swords, so shouldn’t he remember at least its name?
“Well, got nothing to do with me . You better be on guard for me aight? … Here I go”
“!”
I grandly swing Gluttony .
I bit off one of Phellibus’ arms from the base when he immediately tried to dodge .
“What a fiendish…!”
“Come on, come on!”
While scattering blood from his shoulder, Phellibus dodged my continuous attacks .
Blood actually comes out, I don’t really get this .
“Seyah!”
“Guh!”
I once attacked with Kuromaru as a feint, but he defended against it .
And then with the opportunity I created I stab him with Gluttony .
Phellibus, who got the side of his stomach perfectly bit off, couldn’t endure it and leaped back .
“ … I see, you’re strong”
“Nothing’s gonna happen even if you praise me you know . I’d rather you just submit your life”
“ …”
Phellibus silently glared at me .
Those eyes were eyes aiming for something .
It pretty much felt like an sign that he would overturn the battle in an instant so long I give him that chance .
“In that case” the instant I decided on the opposite――――――――――
“What was that, what was that!?”
“What was that sound just then!”
“It came from here!”
Something happened what I didn’t consider at all .
Several of the village guys are running from the other side .
This is bad, even I won’t be able to protect them .
“You guys! Don’t come!”
“Ah, you’re from back then――――――
I shouted, but the guys who didn’t know the situation just kept running up to me .
I had a bad feeling about this, so I moved in front of them .
“A good opportunity! You’ve caught your attention to something unnecessary!”
“Kuh…”
I can protect these guys if they’re here .
But this wasn’t a good plan .
I ought to have buried him with one attack .
“――――――――<Drawn Sword>”
He chanted some phrase .
Upon doing so, his figure transformed very fast and both feet swelled in an elliptical shape .
His lower body that soon transformed, became a gigantic cluster of countless things sticking out like an octopus pot .
“<Drawn Sword>… The sacred sword’s appearance when it is drawn out of their scabbard . Its meaning is as it is, but it is their completely released state so to speak, where they expose their true figure . This person’s ability has become even more fiendish”
“Hey what the hell…”
So you’re saying the monster that spreads diseases has evolved?
No, until now he was restrained I guess .
The feelings I’ve got about this is the worst of all up until now .
“Before he becomes troublesome… One attack!”
“It’s too late . <Sick Mist>”
“Uoh!?”
A thick fog spouted out from the hole on Phellibus’ octopus pot .
I swing Gluttony and erase what’s falling onto me… but .
“Cough…”
“Wha- what is… this…”
“Cough… cough”
The guys, probably from completely basking into the fog, squatted and coughed up blood .
What the hell is this… isn’t this pretty much poison now?
“My <Sick Mist> makes every disease inside those who inhale it several times more brutal and make them attack them . Hereditary types, infectious types, all of them are equally possible . It is just that, they are all nothing but of lethal nature . ”
“How savage are you…!”
“Do you have a way to escape from this?”
“Gh!”
I suddenly lost my strength and went on my knees .
And at the same time, I vomited blood without being able to endure the nausea that filled in me .
I look at the back of my hand that’s on the ground and saw countless red rashes rising up and my whole body felt itchy .
My body feels so hot like I’m being roasted and finally I fell on the ground and I could no longer put any strength in my body .
“Even if you don’t inhale the fog, viruses and germs drift about in the air . Your defeat was decided the moment I turned into this state”
“God… dammit…”
This is bad, I’m actually starting to lose my consciousness .
Those guys…aren’t moving either .
Did they die? Have they all died?
Stop it, it’s annoying .
Who do you think has to deal with this afterwards?
Stop freaking dying one by one .
(What is this… What am I thinking right now?)
If I destroy that low quality bastard, then those guys might be saved .
It’s faster to kill the guy if it means not having my work increase .
(What is… going on now, these thoughts)
“Wh… why can you stand up?”
(Eh…?)
When I noticed I was standing on two legs .
My body feels so light it feels frightening, what the hell’s going on?
No, whatever . Doesn’t matter anymore .
Nothing matters anymore .
First, how about we erase that guy… he’s in the way .
“You… what in the world…”
“ …”
One step, I advance in front of him .
Nobody could even respond .
Even though I should be approaching in front of his eyes, Phellibus could not even capture me in his field of vision .
I slowly thrust Gluttony in his chest .
“Gah… wha…? This cannot…”
“――――――――――――――――Good bye”
The sound that could be heard was only the sound of chewing .
Gluttony relentlessly ate about everything, the guy’s hardened expression, his crooked face .
By the time Gluttony ate his fill, there was no longer anything there .
◆◆◆
“ … Much appreciated for your work, I suppose”
“Right… ”
Stroh struck my back and the heaviness of my body slowly returned .
By some mystery, my body is in extremely good shape .
As if that much pain were all a lie…”
“ …”
“ …? What would be the matter?”
“No … It’s nothing”
That feeling of not caring about anything… I felt like I’ve experienced it somewhere .
If I remember correctly, it was the time I was summoned in that airspace I’m not sure about by mother――――――――
“Heey! Are you truly alright!?”
“Gh! Ye- yeah… don’t worry about it alright?”
After properly dealing with Stroh who directed a doubtful glance, I head towards the collapsed guys .
The looks of the guys lying on their back is painful, but I’m right now more worried about the physical condition of the guys in the village .
It would be nice if it’s resolved by killing Phellibus though…
