Chapter 13, Part 2

I won’t Give up on Anything

The only weakness of the Mini Messiahs was their lack of mobility, so it was necessary to move at the right speed to fight them. Because of that, Tina, Palna, and Alice, who couldn’t move fast enough, were working alongside those who could move fast enough.

Tina worked with Takako, Palna with Rex and Alice with Menou, to look for an opportunity to attack the Mini Messiahs while evading its powerful shots.

「Are you alright, Kagami-san!?」

At that moment, Kagami landed next to Krull, who was hiding behind an abandoned building.

Kagami was working alongside Pitta and Oboromaru while Krull was on her own. This was due to her high level and the fact that she possessed the Role of Sage, which had endowed her with better physical abilities than Tina, Alice, and Palna.

Of course, unlike Rex, Menou and Takako, she did not have enough strength to move while carrying someone, however, she still possessed the appropriate physical abilities to evade the attacks of the Mini Messiahs.

「Uh, I’m fine. You’re doing well, you seem to be as strong as Menou at least. I guess I can’t see you just as a princess anymore」

「I didn’t manage to reach level 200, but I’m still a Level 172」

「Oh so you learned a Skill, uh 」

「Yes, but …… Unlike the others Skills, mine is a bit complicated to use」

Krull acquired a support Skill similar to those of Palna and Tina.

However, it is a different ability than Tina’s, which serves to counteract the damage received.

Skill…… Hero’s<Eiketsu> Haze

Effect …… Amplifies the physical attack power in proportion to the magic power consumed.

It was one Skill difficult to use since it would not be effective unless the user was able to correctly measure the time of its use due to the large amount of magic power it consumed while it was activated. It was a Skill so troublesome that even Kagami saw it as a bad Skill.

「Isn’t it a bit reckless?」

「I don’t want to hear that from you」

Krull responded seriously to Kagami’s comment.

Immediately afterwards, Pitta, who felt a source of heat approaching, yelled, 「Daddy」, to let Kagami know. In that same instant, Kagami grabbed Krull and jumped away from where they were.

Then, in the next instant, the place where they were standing was completely consumed by a huge explosion that pulverized the entire place. After seeing that, Kagami used a nearby wall as a foothold and jumped to a place that was out of the Mini Messiah’s sight, where he hid in the shadows again.

「This place should be out of its radar range…!」

「…… That was close. Thank you Pitta-chan」

Krull, who felt that Pitta’s warning had saved them, began to pat her head while thanking him. Pitta’s face, which did not dislike such action, relaxed into a slight smile.

「They are as annoying as ever. They are not as annoying as the Messiah, but…… they are still really troublesome」

「By the way, Kagami-san, how did you know that they would come to this place?」

「Nn? Aah, right, did I mention that Oboromaru retains some memories from when they were created? One of the things they remembers was this location mentioned on a map while discussing one of the places they would attack」

At that moment, Oboromaru jumped off Kagami’s head and said, 「I remember seeing it with my own eyes ‘degozaru yo」, while nodding with their arms crossed. Then, Kagami said, 「Do you think my head is your personal nest perhaps?」, while fixing his messy hair, meanwhile Krull, who didn’t pay much attention to that, asked.

「Why did they abandon Oboromaru?」

「It’s not that I was abandoned ‘degozaru yo. What happens is that I escape ‘degozaru yo. Or, well…… Rather, they tried to throw me away ‘degozaru yo…… Mu~u」

Oboromaru did not know where they were born. However, they could understand that they were created by a certain person in certain facilities. The last thing they remembered was having their body restrained against an operating table while constantly experimenting with them, treating them like nothing more than a laboratory animal.

 Then one day they realized that they had acquired a strange power. They had suddenly become capable of doing things they couldn’t do before, like been able to float, become transparent, or the ability to communicate telepathically. Oboromaru used that power to escape.

However, in the end it was useless. Oboromaru remembered those who caught him saying, 「Another failure」, as they beat them almost to death and then throw them outside. Oboromaru had been left without enough energy to use their power, and the state they was in leave them completely immobilized, and unable to defend themself from the hungry monsters that prowled outside. However, it was precisely at that moment that Kagami appeared.

「I am unable to find enough words to express how grateful I feel towards my Lord ‘degozaru yo」

「Enough, stop— …… Tch!!」

Oboromaru said deeply moved, however, just at that moment, the group was again detected by the Mini Messiah, which forced Kagami to move quickly to evade its attack.

Kagami, tired of that routine, muttered, 「It’s about time we got into a fight」, impatiently as he took Pitta and placed her on Krull’s back.

「I would like to try something. Physical attacks are not very effective against the Mini Messiahs. However, I don’t know if the same thing happens with magic. So Krull, make sure you hit it with the most powerful magic you can use right now, and have Pitta with you for safety. Look, Pitta isn’t heavy so she won’t get in your way 」

Hearing that, Pitta, with tears in his eyes, said, 「Is Pitta hated?」, to which Kagami immediately replied, 「It’s alright, it’s just that Daddy will do something dangerous, so just stay here with your older sister」, while lifting his thumb.

Pitta, who quickly calmed down after hearing that, turned to Krull and asked, 「Pitta’s…… sister?」. At that moment, Krull, with a smile on his face, said, 「You-You can also call me ……. Mom-Mommy, you know? 」, however, Pitta, who had already recognized her as her older sister, said「Sister」, while clinging tightly to her back.

「Good, Oboromaru and I will take care of getting their attention, you just wait for an opportunity to attack!…… Let’s go!」

At that moment, Kagami jumped in the direction of a certain place where there were several Mini Messiahs together. By the time he was close enough to the Mini Messiahs, Oboromaru used their power to create a foothold that Kagami used to jump around the Mini Messiahs to get their attention.

「‘Yo! I think this is the first time that we see each other」

The actions Kagami took to provoke the Mini Messiahs seemed to be effective as they quickly pointed their weapons at Kagami and then began firing waves of magic bullets at him. However, none of these attacks managed to hit Kagami due to the incredible physical abilities that Kagami possessed. Meanwhile, Krull only focused on accumulating her magic power to cast the most powerful magic she could currently use.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful wind gusts engulfed in lightning bolts began to swirl around the Mini Messiahs. It didn’t take long for the Mini Messiahs to be consumed by the tornado that had formed.

「It works…… It works!」

As the strength of the wind gusts increased, so did the lightning bolts within them, and before anyone could realize what was happening, the place were the Mini Messiahs had been gathered together became a great mass of lightning bolts shaped like a tornado. Kagami couldn’t help but be shocked at the chilling scene of the countless lightning bolts attacking the Mini Messiahs from all directions as they were whipped by the wind gusts.
