Setsu are you really going?
Yeah, Im already quite strong enough already, I wanna look around the world.
At Destinea castle, inside the room that was given to us, Setsu and I were facing each other.
It seems hes leaving this country.
Ill ask you again, wont you come along with me?
Setsu asked me that.
But I
Sorry, Im still afraid
really
I cant be like Setsu.
My fighting strength is still low and I cant control my sacred sword decently either.
Ill end up becoming a burden to Setsu like this.
But, if if I become tougher will you come meet me that time?
Yeah, sounds good
Setsu held out his hand.
I grasp back that hand.
I hope we can go on an adventure together one day
I hope so too
Bye
Yeah, see you
Having said that, Setsu jumped out from the windows.
I remained, on my own in this Destinea
Shot!
Guh!
I bend my body to the side.
A shining something passed through the place where my body was at until now.
And then an explosion resounded.
That cant be fucking true hey
The top of a far, far away mountain exploded and disappeared.
Blowing away a mountain from that distance isnt a simple feat, whichever magic you use.
And that gigantic gun pulled that off single-handedly.
No wait, it pulled that off just by pulling a trigger after all. So I guess single-fingeredly.
This aint the time to be thinking about something like that!
A shot of that scope was fired many times.
While kicking up the sky, I dedicate my mind to make him shoot upwards somehow.
At any rate, each shot was fast.
Mh Im not hitting you then how about this?
Wh- why you little
The muzzle that has been pointing at me until now, was pointed right under him.
There, those guys are
Fuck you!
I kick the sky with all my strength and leap between them and the muzzle.
Shot!
I put Kuromaru up as a wall and catch that shot.
I hear an unpleasant sound from my beloved sword.
The momentum of the bullet was strong and I drop down towards the ground without any resistance.
(I have to stop the momentum somehow!)
I apply magic reinforcement on both my arms and push the bullet.
I finally kill off the momentum just before I reach the ground and then I fling it up with all my strength.
Gahah
Afterwards I was struck to the ground and had trouble breathing.
This is bad, I used an absurd amount of willpower
Yeap.. as I thought, you did it well Then, what about if I do rapid fire?
you serious?
Still pointing the muzzle at me, Touma put in magic power.
This is bad, even Ill end up having to endure it if Im struck several dozens of times of that.
*sigh* No choice but to use it I guess.
Rush shot!
I stretch my hand into the empty sky.
At that time, plenty of light bullets filled before me.
Eat greedily
The story of Setsu deserting the human country spread in a flash.
That sort of man is not a Hero! Capture him as soon as you discover him!
The king was in a fit of anger.
Perhaps thats justified, because he went and took along three of this countrys future military strength.
Just losing a Hero is quite a serious blow.
Master Touma, havent you heard anything where that man had gone to?
Her Highness the princess came asking me, but I answered nothing.
Who knows? When I noticed he was gone
You have finally drawn it out havent you Setsu
Tch To think Ill end up using it so quickly
I succeeded in having Gluttony eat everything at the last moment.
My body got grazed a little, but no problem.
Gluttony you still can eat right?
I call out to Gluttony thats in my hand.
Gluttony appeared to be saying he havent had enough yet and the tongue came out of the mouth that ran through the center of the edge.
As ever the frightening sword isnt it
Ive come to see it as cool lately though First off, Im returning the favor!
I brandish Gluttony and pour in magic power.
Flying blade Eat>!
!?
Touma quickly leapt towards the side, but he was a little slow.
The pitch black
Dang it
While grasping the arm thats flowing with blood, Touma groaned in pain.
It looks like that giant gun is absurdly heavy. Your movement is slow.
So you saw through it.
While smiling bitterly, Touma filled his eaten arm with magic.
Light particles gathered there and in the blink of an eye his arm regenerated.
A lost limb really has intense magic power consumption
Touma said while confirming the sensation of using his arm.
All the more for something like a lost limb.
Itll cause you to be out of magic power and youll become unable to combat if you werent us.
Now then it looks like youre about to become serious about this so shall we go to the final scene?
Heyhey already?
Well, if Im to be frank about it, the consumption of this sacred cannon and what Im trying to do is intense altogether. Thats why I want it settled in a short, decisive battle.
If its like that then I have no reason to go against it either.
If we could reach the end with a swift attack, then that way its not bothersome and better too.
Now that I think about it you still havent seen this do you?
What are you talking about?
Its one more territory Ive reached in the five years you werent here you know
I didnt know about
