Chapter 9: Downfall of Zola's Family
translation thanks to LrdAdi in reddit
Part 1
Finley was breathing down her shoulders, covered in blood from this commotion.
I didn't think my little sister was that scary.
She is like a berserker who likes to fight and lives for it.
Zola and Merce, who fell beside Finley, were shattered.
"I'm afraid of my little sister."
While muttering my honest impression, Luxon came to my side.
[She has the qualities of a great warrior. However, it's going to be a bit rough in the future.]
"Rough? Even though she's rude enough already?”
[Let's talk about that later. More important......]
When Luxon pointed his red lens at Zola, Ludward, who had regained consciousness, was approaching her.
"Ma-Mother ......”
Are you trying to help Zola? It seems these guys also have a feeling of mother and son.
As we tried to wait for the soldiers to arrive to capture them, Luxon screamed.
[A weak magic armor reaction? Master, Zola is holding a piece of magic armor!]
-What!? Everyone back immediately! Oscar, protect them.
I pushed Finley back and hurried to readied my rifle.
Zola had something in her hand.
Sharp, like a piece of glass, Zola drove it into the back of Ludward's neck as he approached.
Ludward was surprised.
"Mother ...... W-Why ?!
Zola, after stabbing her son Ludward with a piece of magical armor, looked at me and smiled triumphantly.
"You have let your guard down! Ludward, you have been a useless fool, but in the end you will be of help to your mother. I'll run away while you fight”
It seems that Zola, who was staggering as she stood up, intended to use Ludward, who suffered from being pierced by the magic armor fragment, to win time to escape.
Merce was also standing.
Her hands were in her face , looking at us through her fingers.
-I will kill you. I will definitely come back and kill you all!
As Merce tried to flee with Zola, Ludward caught up with her and grabbed her by the ankle.
"Help me ...... older sister."
Merce kicked Ludward, who was looking for help.
"Let go of me, you idiot!"
The two were trying to abandon Ludward and escape from the hideout.
Ludward's appearance became strange when he saw what they were doing.
He laughed and many eyes began to appear on his back.
Ludward's arms and legs stretched out as his body was invaded by the magic armor.
The tip became sharp and a large mouth appeared on the abdomen.
From the beginning, he was unable to maintain his human form and changed into a strange form.
"Ludward, you ......”
I take the bullets out of the rifle and replace the magazine.
Ludward turned to Zola and Merce, who were trying to escape instead of us.
Zola and Merce fell on their backs in front of the monstrous Ludward.
"D-Don't come!"
-Go away! The enemy is there!
Hearing her words, Ludward, whose neck was stretched out, laughed hauntingly.
[...... You look delicious.]
Ludward's huge transformed body leapt over them just as it was.
I Get the other three out of here as Ludward's consciousness drifted towards them.
-We have to get out of here!
As I ran up the stairs that led to the main floor, I heard screams of women behind me, along with a sound I didn't want to hear.
Finley screamed.
"What the hell is that thing?"
Oscar ran with Jenna in his arms as if she were a princess.
"I don't know what that is!"
Jenna was holding Oscar tightly even now.
"Everyone, hurry out!"
We went to the ground and went straight out of the building.
The outside was a bit bright and it was already dawn.
"Luxon, and Ludward !?
Luxon flashed his red lens.
[Already surfaced]
As soon as Luxon finished speaking, the building collapsed and the monster that used to be Ludward emerged from it.
There was nothing left to say that this thing was Ludward.
The piece of meat had a large mouth and five tentacles.
I was horrified to see him looking at me and licking his tongue.
"Oscar, take them both and walk away!"
"Y-Yes!"
Oscar held Jenna and left this place with Finley.
Ludward was looking at me.
And with his monster mouth ...
[Everything is mine. Position, property and power ... mine.]
Luxon lawfully explained the feelings of Ludward, who approached me and said that everything is his.
[Perhaps he was jealous of you, Master. It seems that he thought that your title, your fortune and even your power should be his. That's pretty absurd.]
-Absolutely.
While avoiding Ludward's attack wielding his tentacles, I fired with the rifle and the place where it landed exploded.
When one of the tentacles exploded, Ludward made a ruckus.
When Ludward, who has grown to a size of about 4 meters, made such a ruckus, he created a large amount of debris, sand, and smoke as the buildings surrounding areas were engulfed and destroyed.
"I feel a little sorry for you. I'll finish this quickly.”
When I held the rifle, Ludward jumped at me.
He jumped very high with his huge body and tried to crush me and eat me.
When I moved quickly and avoided him, Ludward yelled at me with his big mouth.
[Everything is mine! What's Leon's is mine! Everything ... even those women.]
"...... Ah?"
I couldn't get past the lines Ludward had said, so I quickly held the rifle and pulled the trigger.
I didn't fire once, I fired all the bullets in the magazine.
Most of Ludward's body was blown up because the place exploded when the bullets hit him.
[Gyyyaaaaaaaaa !!]
Ludward, who was suffering and destroying the surroundings, seemed to be crying.
Then, a large amount of black liquid leaked out and he immediately stopped moving.
-It's over.
Luxon spoke in a tone amazed at my anger.
[Were you angry when he said he would steal Angelica and the other two?]
-...... Shut up.
[If you can get angry, you should stop flirting with Milaine when she's in front of you.]
"That's why I said it was to reassure her."
[Don't you usually flirt with her? Well, more importantly, it seems that everything has finished.]
In the distance, I could hear Greg's voice.
-I heard~!
Greg was riding on the back of Jilk's airbike, and looking up at the sky I could see Einhorn and the armed unit Chris was riding.
Apparently they had done a good job.
I looked at the fragments of magic armor that were left after the disappearance of Ludward.
"Where did they get these kinds of things, anyway?"
[The Holy Kingdom of Rachelle is suspicious. Having said that......]
When Luxon summoned the main body in the sky, he radiated a laser to eliminate the rubble that was lying around.
[...... This made me feel refreshed.]
I let out an exasperated sigh at my partner's exhausted expression.
-You do not change.
Looking up, I saw a huge spaceship blending into the surrounding landscape with optical camouflage.
It feels a bit strange and uncomfortable, but even if you don't mention it it will look like normal sky.
I carried my rifle on my shoulder.
"Those magic armor weren't a threat, except from Finn. In this case, the old Black Knight was even more terrifying.”
Against my opinion, Luxon expressed his theory.
[The size of the magic armor fragments is also a factor, but I think it also depends a lot on user specifications.]
"Because Ludward was weak, was he weak even if he turned into a monster with magic armor?”
[It is a price to pay for great power that cannot be wielded. First of all it's wrong to rely on magic armor.]
The price to pay for getting great power, huh.
In that case, what price should I pay for obtaining Luxon?
Or will I lose something in the future?
...... Well, it won't help at all to think about it deeply, and it doesn't suit me to do that.
