Hachinan tte, Sore wa Nai Deshou!

I wonder, has something happened in there?

Who knows? But, I think theres no doubt its nothing good.

For the sake of rampaging, Kurt, who obtained some magic tool from Finance Minister Rckners little brother, appeared on purpose at the site of our inspection in the Savage Lands.

The inspection itself was more or less necessary.

I plan to split the current Baumeister territory into three Earldoms with me having the majority and Paul-nii-san getting an independent Associate Baron territory.

Its border was at the moment nothing more but a plain, however for the sake of avoiding disputes of the territorial borders, which might happen in the future, it was indispensable to properly define it.

Just, it wasnt particularly necessary to do that today.

Inducing Kurt became the most important goal after all.

Theres no problem. He seems to be lurking around. (Burkhart)

Kurt, the blacksmith Eckhart and the few remaining supporters went out armed to the location we intended to inspect as potential territory during darkness.

Of course, such action was exposed, once they entered Burkhart-sans detection range.

Even after arriving at the location, we intended to inspect, we were entirely aware of the five people hiding in a thicket slightly further away and looking this way.

Well, what kind of magic tool will they use, Im concerned by that in my mind.

Kurt, who suddenly showed his figure in front of us, begins to blow into something similar to an old ocarina.

Thereupon something like clusters of some black smoke gush out from the ground in the vicinity. Those clusters change into a tornado and envelop Kurt.

Self-destruction all of a sudden?

No, I expect him to be likely safe within the tornado. Even as a joke, he is still the user of the magic tool.

Somehow or other, it looks like the effect of the black smoke doesnt reach the centre similar to the eye of a typhoon.

However, apparently the black smoke has received a note telling it that it only applies to Kurt.

The effect of the black smoke?

Before long screams considered to belong to Eckharts group can be heard.

Only himself being safe and the others are doomed? How evil.

They have splendidly been used and thrown away. As expected, he is a small man. (Burkhart)

Burkhart-sans evaluation of Kurt was harsh.

But, apparently those types of parties werent rare in his adventurer time either. It looks like he doesnt want to particularly recall that point.

Besides, its not like Kurt will be safe for eternity either.

We hear those screams of death agony right away.

Somehow he wasnt able to comprehend what kind of magic tool it is. As expected, someone like Kurt was a disposable tool.

It looks like that black smoke is something dangerous to touch.

We should defend ourselves as that body of black smoke began to gush forth in large quantities even from far away. I deployed a magic barrier together with Burkhart-san.

Everyone, who joined us on the inspection, enters the magic barrier in a hurry.

Those are bugs? (Erwin)

No, thats the materialization of grudges. (Elise)

Elise, who is well-informed in this field, answered Erws question.

Eh? The materialization of grudges? (Ina)

Thats nothing more than the power of that flute. (Elise)

Elise replied to Inas question slightly vaguely.

Thats to be expected of her as well. She didnt have that much knowledge in magic tools.

Nee, do you know about it, doushi-sama?

Thats probably the Flute of Grudges. (Armstrong)

Flute of Grudges?

Unexpectedly doushi seems to have a clue about the magic tool Kurt has been blowing into.

Apparently the Flute of Grudges is a magic tool that had been produced in ancient times for vengeance.

With the hatred of the person himself, the grudges gathered from the surroundings by the flute are used to change oneself into a powerful undead, which kills the target.

As magic tool with the goal of certainly killing the target, the user wants to kill so badly that they even sacrifice their own body, it isnt at the level of the Flute of a Dragon Tamer either, but it is a an item requiring authorisation by the kingdom due to its danger.

That means, its from the black market too?

Its easier to obtain the Flute of Grudges than the Flute of a Dragon Tamer. Therefore, its only a controversy of comparison in the end (Burkhart)

If you use the Flute of a Dragon Tamer, this territory will be destroyed in the worst case.

However, if its the Flute of Grudges, there are also many situations where it ends with killing the individual target, involving several people at worst.

This is why either are obviously regarded as dangerous by the kingdom.

Anyway, the target is me, right? (Wendelin)

Ahaha, isnt it the materialization of a frightful grudge! It looks to be a befitting resentment for Baron Baumeister. (Armstrong)

Umm Its not a laughing matter though (Wendelin)

The black smoke, which is still gathering from the vicinity and approaching, has a diameter of 50 meters with Kurt in the centre. It took the form of a huge tornado with a height of around 100 meters.

Its dreadfulness is excessive to a degree that we have to retreat in a hurry.

Uncle-sama. Im recalling from the books I read in the past that tornadoes are a lot smaller, but (Elise)

I can think of several reasons, however (Armstrong)

First was the fact of these Savage Lands being a vastly empty plot of land.

That seems to be something making it relatively easy for grudges to spring forth.

Plants and bugs get crushed under the hooves of running deer.

Rabbits are hunted by wolves.

Bears drown in rivers and their children end up dying as they havent been brought up.

Even in human society, theres stuff like getting scolded by superiors.

In daily life, there were things like not being pleased with friends.

Though its only tiny amounts, it creates grudges. Those seem to have soaked into the circumference of this region.

However, if time passes, those will vanish similar to water evaporating. (Elise)

This is normal to equal locations, but these places are called Bad plots of land.

The grudges, which accumulated, bring harm to people utilizing these plots of land.

Similar to the capitals flawed properties, if things like strong evil spirits, which kill out of resentment, are created, the grudges being at those places will serve as energy source for the evil spirits, amplifying their powers.

In other words, the grudge of that man is more powerful than expected. With that as origin, large quantities of grudges are gathering from the Savage Lands underground.

There are no slaughtered people, who bear regrets, in the Savage Lands either.

Theres no more than a small amount of something like grudges gathering from one place, but since the Savage Lands are vast, its a matter of dust becoming a mound if you pile it up.

That means, the situation is hopeless unless Wends elder brother stops blowing into the flute? (Erwin)

Rather than stopping, theres no other choice but to destroy either the magic tool or its user! (Armstrong)

Eh, what do you mean by that? (Erwin)

Erw remembers a sense of discomfort due to doushis remark of destroying Kurt and not killing him.

Erw-boy, why you do you think Baron Baumeister and Burkhart-dono immediately deployed a magic barrier? If the the body of a normal human suffers this amount of thick and dense grudges, they wont escape dying. (Armstrong)

While doushi was answering Erws question, he also explained that Kurt shouldnt be alive anymore.

Grudges being a minus element, there will be no significant effects, if its only a small dose, but if its a large dose, it will cause sickness and in the worst case be fatal.

If its an ordinary person, they would go insane instantly. Also, their bodys function would cease within a short time, however (Elise)

While looking at me, Elise gives an explanation which doesnt seem to be an excuse.

To put it simply, its very likely that Kurt and his followers have already died.

Its not something you have to worry about, Elise. Though it might be bad taste, but they reap what they sowed. (Wendelin)

I wish for their death from the bottom of my heart.

Until now I have thoroughly received their hatred.

In the end they even tried to assassinate a person.

Besides, they shouldnt have expected an easy conclusion, even if they had survived here anyway.

Margrave Breithilde and the nobles of the central government shouldnt have done something like using Kurt in order to suppress my anxiety of the future.

However, if thats the case, why is the tune of the flute still continuing to resound, I wonder? (Ina)

Thats simple. Its because it is a magic tool! (Armstrong)

Doushi quickly replied to Inas doubt.

It had the shape of an ocarina, but it is a magic tool after all.

Once you get it working by blowing into it one time, the flutes tune wont stop until killing the person, who had been defined as target by the person operating it.

Actually, it isnt a piece of music I feel like having heard somewhere before either, but the tune of the ocarina continued to flow into the surroundings.

Huh? Until killing the person that has been marked by the person using it? However, that onii-san has already died, right? (Luise)

I felt the same doubts as Luise.

Although Kurt has already passed away, why are the flute and the gathering grudges recognising me as their target?

The answer is that the person, who is using the flute as existence manipulating the assembly of grudges, has transformed into an undead. It will be a reasonable labour to purify that, boy. (Burkhart)

A report, that a change occurred in the aforementioned huge tornado of black smoke, is given by Burkhart-san, who was concentrating on deploying the magic barrier.

Once I turned my view, I saw a giant, completely composed by the black smoke, with a height of around 50 meters standing there.

The assembly of grudges (Wendelin)

Also, look at the chest part, everyone. (Burkhart)

As I turned my sight upon Burkhart-sans instruction, I saw Kurt, who had changed into a zombie, buried there with his skin having changed into a darkish brown colour.

Holding that flute in his mouth just as before, Kurt is continuing to play the melody from there.

If you furthermore observe well, parts of his limbs and neck are missing as if having been bit off. Those wounds changed their colour into a murky black.

Those followers changed into zombies before him. It looks like he died by being eaten. And after his death he transformed into the core of that black giant after changing into a zombie. What a nasty magic tool.

Certainly, it was a magic tool I wouldnt want to use no matter how much I was driven to a wall.

And, although they were his followers, they had changed into zombies after all and were buried into the limbs and torso of the black giant as if being nothing more than decorations.

What does that mean? Its the first time Ive seen an undead like that!

It seems the zombie Kurt is the core, but the other zombies have been embedded into the whole body as well. The majority of the parts of the mysterious giant were composed by the grudges in a state of black smoke.

Sure enough, I wonder, how do you classify this kind of undead?

Its disgusting. Even bringing it down wont yield any meat. We should defeat it quickly. (Wilma)

Then again, thats the kind of thing you can expect Wilma to say.

She has fun in defeating wild animals and monster if she can eat them, but if its this kind of undead, she cant eat, we should defeat it quickly.

While pulling the cuff of my robe, she requested for it to be defeated quickly.

But, doesnt it seem to be powerful?

Since it is a magic tool given by the likes of Rckners younger brother, it shouldnt be a big deal either.

Its good, if it finishes with Kurts rampaging as it is just the right opportunity.

Unexpectedly saying something like that, Burkhart-san became speechless due to the sinisterness of the giant of black smoke with zombies embedded in its body.

Burkhart-san! (Wendelin)

Ah ! You had been resented by Kurt to a very great extent, boy. (Burkhart)

Talking about that at this late hour. (Wendelin)

I was completely under the wrong impression of the other side, but even so it apparently resulted in a terribly, gloomy grudge.

Considering the other party, they likely hated me for being born in the first place.

Moreover, it would have been fine, if I had lived an obedient, modest life, but something like becoming a noble after defeating a dragon

Thats something intolerable from Kurts point of view.

At any rate, its because he is the heir as eldest son.

And, in case I gave him the money Im possessing, he would work me like his slave.

All of it being only for Kurts convenience, it would be better to kill me since I was an existence that obstructed him going by his circumstances.

People, taking things into consideration to that extent, are able to approve just because he is my elder brother connected by blood.

I wasnt such a saint.

So, what will we do?

I wonder

The black smoke giant, which absorbed all of the grudges within the Flute of Grudges range in the Savage Lands, immediately unleashed a barrage of punches with his fist at me, who is its target.

However, those are blocked by the magic barrier, I deployed together with Burkhart-san. The punches arent showing any effect at all.

Even so, swinging down its both hands continuously, the impacts cause very loud sounds of *bam bam* on the magic barrier. This has triggered a mental feeling of being slightly scared.

Im certain thats the way it is.

Because the giant has an all-over height of around 50 meters and because Im facing its large fists even though Im being protected by the magic barrier.

If thats the case, its my turn now! If something happens to Baron Baumeisters body, even his His Majesty would be full of regret. Anyway, its fine to leave it to me! (Armstrong)

Since doushi came for the sake of guarding me, he isnt wrong theoretically.

But, if I consider doushis unique skills, I also have a feeling that it wont have much effect on the black smoke giant.

I will get rid of it with magic I usually dont use! (Armstrong)

At the same time of saying that, doushi aligns his mana and slips out from the magic barrier deployed by Burkhart-san and me. Simultaneously he applies a spell of body enhancement on himself.

In order to get rid of doushi, who just came out from the previously hindering barrier, the black smoke giant drops a fist from overhead.

It used a strength that would have definitely squashed the target, if it was an ordinary human, but doushi defended against that with a standalone magic barrier.

What! Doushi used a magic barrier. (Erwin)

No, no, thats because hes the Royal Head Magician.

From Erws point of view, it was the first time for doushi to us a magic barrier itself.

However, that doesnt mean that doushi cant use a magic barrier, if I want to mention it for the sake of protecting doushis honour.

He only wasnt able to use a semicircular magic barrier, covering several people, like Burkhart-san and me.

In a certain sense he is a perfectly suited to fighting alone.

I wonder, if thats how it is

For this reason voices had been raised in the past for master to be the Royal Head Magician rather than doushi.

However, you could also say that it hasnt been a particular mistake to inaugurate doushi as Royal Head Magician if you look at things like doushis knowledge of magic tools.

Rather, you can even say he is qualified since he possesses offensive abilities to a frightening level, which can mercilessly annihilate an enemy army, if there is a war.

Its because other magic consumes a large quantity of mana! Really! It completely burns away similar to a crimson pillar of fire! (Armstrong)

With these words doushi points his finger towards the black smoke giant and a mighty pillar of fire suddenly rises from the feet of the black smoke giant. Its body ends up being fully wrapped up in the fire.

It was a satisfying execution! Burst Great Rising! (Armstrong)(T/N: The spells name is written in katakana emulating the english name, dont blame me for this engrish, ok?)

Burst Great Rising is a spell that creates a huge, high-temperatured pillar of fire from the feet of its target.

Its power has a degree that an ordinary person would be burned to nothing without even leaving bones behind.

If asked whether its an original spell, you could say yes and no.

There are several magicians using magic to wrap up their targets in a pillar of fire, but it was only doushi, who named it Burst Great Rising. It was also only doushi, who improved the spell of pillar of fire to reach a height of around 100 meters.

Its an amazing spell. (Luise)

As expected of uncle-sama. (Elise)

Luise and Elise praised the strength of doushi watching the black smoke giant burning while being wrapped up in a huge pillar of fire, but Burkhart-san shook his head while his face is giving off a doubtful feeling.

In fact, its the same for me as well.

I think the spell Burst Great Rising is very amazing, but

And Ina noticed the same problem as us.

Nee, Wend. (Ina)

Umm, whats up? (Wendelin)

I cant use such spell, but that black giant is an undead, right? Isnt it in vain, if you dont purify it with holy magic in that case? (Ina)

I wonder if thats how it is? (Wendelin)

Its different when it has a body rotten like a zombie, but with the majority of that giant being materialized as grudges in the shape of black smoke, magic of the fire attribute shouldnt work.

Didnt uncle-sama target the zombie of those people embedded in that black giant? (Elise)

Its not like Elise forgot the fact that the majority of the undead wont be defeated without using Holy magic.

Given that it is this large, isnt doushi trying to bring down the Kurt zombie, which has been controlling it earlier.

You can even say that it has a nice efficiency, if that is indeed correct.

Just that the black smoke giant has been standing at the place, where the pillar of fire settled down just now, without change.

In addition, the eyes of Kurt, embedded in the chest part, became bloodshot and he screamed.

His current state isnt that of a zombie as he changed into a wraith.

Oh! With his rage towards Baron Baumeister he isnt able to die peacefully even by being burned with hell fire. (Armstrong)

Even doushi looks to be surprised by Kurts tenacity.

In any case, the figures of the other four, who were embedded in the limbs of the giant, vanished from sight already.

Probably they ended up dying just now as it been too much for them to keep following Kurts lead by now.

Wendelin! I will kill you! (Kurt)

Uwaa, he seriously has a grudge.

More than half of it is a selfish prejudice by the other side! (Wendelin)

Even I might have this much resentment, if I wanted to succeed after my elder brothers left. Though, such situation is very unlikely. (Erwin)

Succeeding the household and territory or not?

Because of this difference, Erw, who was shunned by his elder brothers, doesnt see this as someone elses problem, as it could have been his as well, especially given that it occasionally goes even as far as murder and assassinations.

However, in Kurts case, since he would have become the feudal lord, if he had been silent, I consider it to be a totally unjustified resentment through misunderstandings.

Ah~~~, lets finish it by purifying him quickly. (Burkhart)

The black smoke giant has excessively increased its grudges due to the wraith of Kurt controlling that part. It continued to attack us while swinging its hands downwards around in disorder.

The attacks themselves were completely blocked by Burkhart-sans magic barrier, but its likely not good for the heart to watch a scene of a giant swinging its arms downward.

Because of that Burkhart-san called out to finish it by purifying it quickly.

Understood. Elise. (Wendelin)

Yes. (Elise)

Elise and I have started the preparation of Holy magic at the same time.

To narrow down the range of the wide-area purification spell, we used in the Demon Forest, we raised its density.

With it being spells from the same magic system, we decided it would be completely purified, if enveloped in twice the power.

Since it would be troublesome, if even that failed in the worst case, we have decided to do it without mercy.

Wendelin! Diee~~~! (Kurt)

It doesnt seem that he has even reason left anymore. Given that the giant is continuing to swing its hands towards us, this would become problematic, if it rampaged somewhere else as well.

If it even headed towards the Baumeister territory by some blunder, there was also the possibility of it massacring the fiefs population, if things dont go well.

Well, though it doesnt look like we have to worry about it escaping to another place.

Despite us being protected by Burkhart-sans magic barrier, the giant of black smoke isnt considering other options either. It continued to swing its hands downwards completely like a machine.

I see, a magic tool for vengeance, huh? Its good that Im not the target

Same for me

However, isnt it a rather unreasonable resentment?

If he didnt do anything, he would have normally succeeded the Baumeister territory.

Hermann-nii-san and Paul-nii-san have been even more scared of the giant of black smoke swinging down its hands as if having gone mad, than something like the miserable manner of Kurts death.

The reason being, if they were the aim of this giant, they likely wouldnt be able to survive as they cant even deploy a magic barrier in the first place.

Even if they excelled a bit in martial arts, they shouldnt be able to escape from the absurd violence of the giant.

Surely, I didnt know whether this magic tool of vengeance had a value to sacrifice ones own body, but it was an opportunity to deal with the sole magician in the area.

However, we would have been checkmated, if we didnt have Holy magic.

Right. Even if you defend against its attacks, there would be no way to defeat the black giant if you dont use Holy magic. The deployment of the magic barrier as well, the result would be the same once the mana ran out.

As for the point of the majority of people definitely ending up dead, the Flute of Grudges was also an appropriate magic tool to be controlled by the government.

So, doushi is stalling for time?

Probably However, the impression, he gives off, is him really trying to defeat it by himself (Wendelin)

No, thats impossible without Holy magic!

For the sake of Elise and me performing Holy magic, Burkhart-san extends his magic barrier so that it protects all of us.

Doushi was the single exception to that.

As it was possible for him to deploy a magic barrier, as long as it covered only himself, and to enhance his physical ability with magic, he continued to fire highly-focussed fire balls while flying around the black smoke giant with high-speed flight.

However, even if he makes a temporary hole at the parts he hits, it ends up being closed right away as the basis of the giant is black smoke.

After all, there wouldnt be any results without Holy magic.

Hes a doushi, Holy magic is(T/N: Its an assumption based on the title which means something like officiating monk)

Though it never has happened for me to have seen it. (Luise)

Even at the time of practising in the capital, Luise and I didnt remember having seen him using it.

However, although he is able to use it as it is something he used before, I heard he would rather not use it because of its power.

Is him being able to use something highly powerful in fact a lie? (Wendelin)

Theres no particular reason to hide it, right? (Luise)

Certainly (Wendelin)

While I have been retorted with a fair argument by Luise, I have completed to amass an usable high output of Holy magic.

First Elise cast a purification spell, which was limited in its effect directly at the place where the black smoke giant is standing.

Due to the bluish-white light of purification, the giant, being composed of black smoke, is vanishing as if gradually melting and its body is slowly getting smaller.

Moreover, the wraith of Kurt, which was embedded in its chest, continued to scream as if being damaged by sulphuric acid.

Go ahead! Boy! (Burkhart)

Yes! (Wendelin)

Next Im stacking the same spell onto the same area as well.

Due to the bluish-white light, which increased even more in intensity, the rate, at which the black giant is purified, speeds up. At that rate I already expected it to likely vanish completely within a few minutes.

The wraith of Kurt, which was only raising screams, starts its last resistance.

Wendeli~~~n! (Kurt)

Once again the sound of the Flute of Grudges becomes powerful. And once again black smoke came gradually gathering from the surroundings.

Again!?

Thats because something like grudges is anywhere.

Though its only a very small quantity, with its nature of gathering over a vast range as something that also exists in any kind of soil, the rate of the giants body becoming smaller has completely stopped.

Now that it has come to this, will we run out of mana first?

Or will the wraith of Kurt vanish after ceasing to gather grudges?

It totally ended up becoming a test of endurance.

Are you alright, boy? (Burkhart)

Im fine, but (Wendelin)

Because Elises mana is around an intermediate level, she will reach her limit any minute.

Even if she has gained around 10 minutes due to the aforementioned ring in addition to the reserve magic gems, I had her carry out of reconsideration for the future.

There was a chance that the black giant would return to its original big size once again, if Elise dropped out.

Eh? If its like this, isnt it quite bad?

Its bad.

If the giant doesnt vanish even once my mana runs out, only Burkhart-san, who is deploying a magic barrier, will remain.

Given that he cant use Holy magic, he will only be able to defend afterwards.

This is bad Doushi! (Burkhart)

What is it, Burkhart-dono? (Armstrong)

Burkhart-san explains the circumstance to doushi, who continues his diversion while flying around the giant.

I see, these empty Savage Lands have backfired in reverse! (Armstrong)

Even if its an empty area, do grudges come flying this quickly?

Usually thats not the case. The dreadfulness of the grudges is in proportion to resentments depth of the person gathering it! (Armstrong)

Small amounts of grudges cant usually be seen neither by animals nor people as they are transparent.

Only at the time they came, being summoned by the Flute of Grudges, the shape of the black smoke has reached a point where it would affect people.

If the resentment is intense, I see, they are likely gathering from the Demon Forest and sinister places in the Savage Lands.

Which reminds me, at the time I investigated the Savage Lands in the past, there were places, which became the graveyards of wild animals, and locations, where plants didnt grow for some reason at all although those were fine in regards to sun light and water.

Probably a large amount of grudges had accumulated at those places.

Grudges are calling grudges with interest attached to them! (Armstrong)

Thats an exquisite allegory.

Even if its a completely false accusation, Kurt seems to have a considerable resentment towards me.

So, what shall we do? (Wendelin)

Im bad at supplementing mana to others! (Armstrong)

Its necessary to have a special talent for supplying mana after all.

Doushi affirmed to me that he cant use it.

Then, what shall we do? (Wendelin)

Thats simple! It will be fine if I use Holy magic! (Armstrong)

Eh? Dosuhi, you were able to properly use Holy magic?

That fact was a shock.

Doushi, who cant use almost anything but a couple of standalone spells, though powerful, as the ultimate combat machine, says that he will use Holy magic, which he previously declared to be weak in.

No, in my short life of 40 years, I have no more experience than having tried Holy magic for a small period of time! (Armstrong)

During that time he gave up training it any further since he couldnt realize anything but far too shabby Holy magic.

Something like that Doushi.

Including myself, everyone is exhausted. Burkhart-san states his word of objection as representative.

Above being uncertain whether you can use it normally now, it has been completely no good before. It takes time to get used to using Holy magic as well. (Burkhart)

Although the learning time is originally short, even if he suddenly uses it, he shouldnt cast something like Holy magic popular in use at the black giant.

Doushis plan was nothing but reckless.

In the worst case its probably proper to withdraw temporarily. (Hermann)

No, thats no good. (Wendelin)

However, Hermann-dono.

Victims might appear, but if we temporarily withdraw from here to restore our mana, we will have to face a revenge game.

Certainly, this might be the most realistic plan.

But, if you consider the victims that might occur in the Baumeister territory, I could do nothing but refuse Hermann-nii-sans statement.

It will be fine if my Holy magic is successful! Baron Baumeister, give me Alfreds book! (Armstrong)

Starting from there

Once I nod to Ina, she takes out the book, I received from master, from within my magic bag and tosses it towards doushi.

Doushi, who caught it, began to read the entries about Holy magic while floating in the sky.

I see, as expected of Alfred. Its really easy to understand! (Armstrong)

For real? (Erwin)

While pretending that he didnt hear Erwstsukkomi, I once again turn my look towards doushi.

He was performing some movements as if somehow firmly standing in the sky.

Havent the blood vessels in his head been cut? (Erwin)

Although Erw once again said something outrageous, I couldnt see whether his blood pressure has been rising from my point of view.

It seems to be hopeless. (Burkhart)

At the same time as Burkhart-san, who gave up after about 30 seconds, there was a change in doushis state.

Suddenly bluish-white light was emitted from both hands, which doushi had held out in front, and next arrows made out of Holy light appeared in his palms.

More or less it is Holy magic. (Burkhart)

Burkhart-san admitted that there was a chance of doushi releasing Holy light for the time being, but he showed something close to astonishment in his expression.

The reason being

Small! In the end its too slow! (Armstrong)

Although the yell of doushi was befitting, the size of the unexpected arrows of Holy light were to the degree of cucumbers. There wasnt any great difference in their speed to the walking pace of people either.

The arrows of Holy light, which were released from both palms of doushis hands, hit the black giant at their slow pace as is, dispersing a small amount of black smoke by purifying it.

Did some of the black smoke really disappear? We, who are at a distant place, werent able to confirm it.

Given that he has been able to cast it more or less, its not like there is absolutely no effect at all.

Doushi

I tried it for the first time in 20 years, but its power has risen higher than before! Its a chance! (Armstrong)

Oy
