Chapter 74
What!? That man is in the demon army!?
The kings voice resounded.
I was listening to him and was dumbfounded.
How, for what reason? my head was in chaos.
Setsu You
Betrayed us?
Why are you on the enemy side?
Im still in this country and yet
Why?
Is it the fault of the demons?
Theyve deceived you didnt they?
Otherwise you, who said would come protect me, should never become my enemy.
The demons are evil.
All of them, all of them I will
Kill.
The king and the others turned to look at me.
I wonder, what kind of eyes was the me at that time seen with?
I will kill everyone.
I have to save Setsu
I guess I did it.
Touma murmured while being a little out of breath.
The muzzles were spitting out fumes and the barrel had heat.
(I cant attack for a while now that Im like this Im glad this settled it)
A gigantic crater was made on the ground and clouds of dust came out from it.
The cloud was especially dense in the center, he could not confirm the Setsus figure who should be in the center.
However, Setsus magic power could no longer be felt.
He should not have died.
At the very least he should not have any magic power left.
Toumas magic power was also exhausted, but it was not like he could not fight.
With this, Toumas victory was clear.
( First point is to confirm it I guess)
Touma slowly descended to the ground.
The movements of him who changed into a fortress was slow.
Just to be sure he moved with his feet off the ground and finally arrived at the center of the crater.
That time
Finally youve come inside my range for me eh?
Gh! Setsu!?
The clouds cleared up
Inside the crater firmly stood Setsu.
His feet were stepping firmly on the ground.
This is bad!
Open it much wider! Gluttony!
Setsu thrusted
When doing so, the edge opened its mouth.
And then the ground tooopened its mouth.
The time is finally here.
In order to not let Gluttony eat any more than this, I let it eat the beam on purpose and due to that it took nearly all my magic power, but thats my problem now that its come to this.
From the looks of it, you cant attack for a while, so you shouldnt have any way to avoid this anymore!
An attack with all my might using Gluttony.
The ground got cracks and those tore the earth.
The fissure spread out larger than the crater Touma created.
Wha- what is this!?
The ground began to spread like a large mouth.
The earth gradually began to be dyed black and before long it grew fangs.
This is a powerful technique that will eat up everything, a characteristic of Gluttony.
Kuh!
Touma ran up with
The large mouth made by the earth rose and went to close its mouth in a dome shape.
I cant let you escape now can I!?
The size of its mouth spread out even further
Wait! Setsu! Forgive me, okay!?
Too bad, I got no reason to forgive you
Ah
The mouth was completely shut.
I could no longer hear Toumas voice.
Its my win, you fucking idiot
Why are you on their side, Setsu?
Touma
It was raining this day too.
Setsu and I were holding our swords and faced each other.
At the center of the battlefield, while our comrades from both countries were watching over.
You too, why did you participate in killing demons and beastmen? These guys arent even evi
They tricked you didnt they!? Theyre plenty of evil!
I yell.
Setsu doesnt understand anything.
He most likely has been brainwashed by them.
Youve come to love me havent you Setsu!? And yet it shouldnt be possible for you to become my enemy!
Wait what?
He still doesnt understand me.
Setsu, I like you. I like you enough that I can give you my everything. Thats why, lets go home together okay? Lets find a place nobody can find with the two of us and become one, okay? If its us then we can become happy you see! I mean, you said you will protect me for the rest of my life, didnt you!?
Setsu is mine.
I wont hand him over to anyone.
Ill even massacre those who stand in our way.
I wont let them split us up anymore!
Come, lets go together?
You have a few screws loose, you
Setsu took out his sacred sword.
It doesnt look like words will undo their brainwashing.
Then, I have no choice but to turn him obedient.
I dont want to do something violent.
But, if its for the sake of obtaining you, then
I will hurt even you, okay?
Bring it on then, you big son of a bitch!
Thats right we began our fight like this.
Where am I?
You woke up?
Touma who I laid down on the ground finally woke up.
Incidentally the ground returned to how it was before or actually the crater is still there, but were in the center of it.
Why am I aliv
What I let Gluttony eat was just your magic power and an hour of your consciousness. Because he gulped down the entire ground, Gluttonys stomach nearly swelled up. I couldnt afford him to eat any more than that anymore.
Its the truth.
He would not eat anything more than that.
Im really glad it did not end up carelessly killing Touma.
Leaving that aside. You, why didnt make use of your
If that was used, then I probably would have lost.
If he applied even a curse that stops my movement, then I would be showered completely by that beam and annihilated.
Its not I didnt use it, its I couldnt use it.
Said Touma and he looked through his pockets.
And what he took out was a gem.
It was a lovely white fist-sized gem.
This is the most important item for my objective. I applied my best curse on this one piece of gem. Its for exploiting an existence that will appear when the blood of Desastre, Levia and Gaia is absorbed by the gem and then breaks.
Why did Desas and Levias name come up? What is this gem?
This is the gem that is sealing the god of creation. The god of hopes that will come destroying the people in this world you see.
Touma said while showing a bitter smile.
I dont understand what hes talking about, but the reason the black robes were after Desas and Levia seems to be caused by this gem.
What is this god of creation though?
Well I already lost, so I dont need this anymore.
He threw away the gem.
The gem fell at a slightly separated place and made a thump.
Ive had enough. Ill be satisfied if Im going to be killed by you. It doesnt look like you will become mine in the end after all.
Of course I wont. Im not gonna love a guy. And also Im not gonna kill you.
I said while scratching my head.
More like, I dont have any ways to kill him either.
Say, I want to ask you one thing. Why wont you kill people, Setsu?
Im not sure about it. But, killing for me is bad. At least killing more than one person.
Touma showed a face like he didnt understand, but that cant be helped.
Even Im not sure about it after all.
Thats why I wont kill even you at most, youll be making up for your crimes inside a cage the demons will guard.
hahah, thats harsh
Touma laughed.
It was a genuine smile I havent seen for a long time.
Haa the sky looks nice.
Thats true.
The sky is cleared because of our fight, so a beautiful blue sky spread out.
I guess you can say its the sky of victory.
Yuki-ku~n!
Ooh, Yuuhi. And the rest of you too.
My group turned up in the distance.
Theyre recovered from their injuries, so Im feeling relieved for now.
Im so glad youre safe~!
Woah, dont jump at me so suddenly
I embrace Yuuhi who came leaping into my chest.
When I did so, the somewhat angry looking Elka and Tia too came clinging to me from the side.
Mhh, Master Setsu, be a little affectionate to me as well please!
I want to sit on your lap
Aah, I get it, I get it alright?
I say and shake myself free from the three.
Upon doing that, next would be
In that case, then pat me!
Pat me desu
Hey! Big sis and Ms Roa, youre frolicking too much!
Two cat girls came jumping onto me.
I splendidly sidestep that, let them lie on the ground and then stroke the stomach of the two at the same time.
Uhih! Wai-! Setsu! Sto-! Aahahahahaha!
Uuh~! Setsu stop desu! Kufuh!
You girls be happy with this
Its a full blown tickling attack.
They wont move for a while with this.
B- big sis Im sorry Mr Setsu, for my big sister troubling you again
Youre really a good girl arent you
Heh!? Is that, is that really so?
The part of you being shy from being praised is cute too you know, Mineko.
Your stock right now is taking a sudden rise.
Hahaha, youve become quite the amazing one havent you, Mr Setsu
Sup Glain. Im glad you guys are safe too
Glain, Brad and also Ides and lily.
Everyones safe.
Hm? Come to think of it, those two are
Touma. Have you resigned yourself?
Desastre asked Touma who was lying down.
Yup. I understand what Ive done myself. But, now that Ive been rejected by Setsu, I dont care about just about anything anymore. If you tell me to atone for my crimes then I will atone for it as much as you like. Dying is a little impossible though.
Even if I were to be able to kill you, I will not let you die you see. Reflect inside the jails of mine country and properly reevaluate how evil the deeds you have committed for the rest of your life.
After saying this much, Desastre stepped back.
Continuing on that, Levia went forward and called out to Touma.
I dont have that much resentment towards you, but there is one thing I want to ask. Answer me.
Go ahead
That
Levia said, pointing at the gem Touma threw away.
Aah, Ive heard an adventurer discovered in an ancient ruin somewhere and I bought it when it was sold in an antique shop. Whether the adventurer really had discovered it is a mystery, but my opinion is something like that for the time being. Then afterwards I analysed it, investigated history and arrived at the god of creation
I get it I guess
Levia was racking her brains.
It was too convenient of a coincidence.
To begin with, that
Who in the world carried that out from such place
First, I have to collect that gemwait, where is?
Levia noticed the fact the
Whats the matter?
Concerned about her state, Desastre stood in line beside her.
It was that moment.
huh?
Ga ah
From Levia and Desastres abdomen, a knife protruded.
Behind her stood a mud-stained Gaia.
Wh- why you!
Aha Ahahaha! Master Touma! Ive done it!
Argh
The stabbed knife was pulled out.
The blood dripping from the two knives was spilled onto the
Ehehe. With this, Master Toumas wish will come true right!?
Stop it Gaia. We lost
Use my life with care, okay!?
Stop it Gaia!
Touma and Levias frantic voices unable to reach her, Gaia pushed the knife to her neck.
With this it will revive right!? Our hope for despair!
Blood spurted out from Gaias neck.
The blood of the girl who collapsed with a smiling face, *splash splash* sprinkled on the
In doing so, a disaster occured to the
Yo- you cant the god of creation is reviving!
The
Before long, the stone, which took in enough blood until it became bright red, began to cast a dazzling light.
Enough luminescence to dazzle the eyes of Setsu and the others who noticed the disaster and rushed over.
The light soon dimmed and what was there
Hum it smells of mankind, my natural enemy
Was not a person, but something possessing a womans body.
