Magika No Kenshi To Shoukan Maou:Volume 13 Chapter 5

Chapter 5 - The Night of Stars’ Fall

Part 1

Kazuki was leading Loki around by the nose and led him to a trap while going to save Beatrix

And then as expected he was surprised with Ilyailiya’s form of two faces and four elbows that he stiffened.

「Be careful Kazuki. She is not just fast. She became able to simultaneously use fast but light attacks, and dull but powerful attacks」

Beatrix taught him that when he approached their battle.

He guessed that meant Ilyailiya could do a combination attack by herself.

「I see, so that’s Ilyailiya’s rationality. Her appearance looks like a Buddha statue.」

「Are those words of praise?」

Ilyailiya’s silver face wasted no time to ask.

「That’s not praise. I said a Buddha statue. The current you has an appearance that is really problematic for a girl you know?」

「………………Why, even though this is rational.」

Kazuki felt like he could sense a change inside Ilyailiya’s expressionless face slightly.

It felt like she was currently discouraged.

「………………It doesn’t matter. Because a necessity to be treated as a girl by you is nonexistent. Also because I’m not even in the age of a girl.」

At a glance she was expressionless so she looked like she was unconcerned, but when he grew to get used of seeing her, it felt like he could see deep inside that expressionless face a slight wavering.

Besides, her talking was just a bit too rapid.

「Just how old are you?」

「I’m 18 years old.」

「You are younger than me.」

Beatrix looked taken aback when she said that.

「I think that age still counts as a girl normally though. You’ll look cute if you properly take care of yourself, so take care of yourself.」

「………………Cute you say?」

「You right now are a Buddha statue though.」

「This kind of conversation is pointless. I’ll exhaust every kind of method to defeat you and prove the correctness of my way of living.」

The black face spoke.

He felt like she was angry.

「I’ll defeat you and prove that kind of strange appearance is full of mistakes. If our side combines our strength too then that kind of appearance won’t have any meaning.」

「Mistake is sin……the current me who is thoroughly rational is without sin.」

Ilyailiya’s jet black body half was overflowing with faint dark magic power.

This was……the magic power of the jet black Ilyailiya.

「I also already prepared the logic to defeat you.」

「What?」

「Come. O unnatural death that cannot be told to anyone……progress exist under the concealment of sacrifice……」

It was the magic of the jet black one who he heard from Beatrix was slow, but regardless of that the magic exceptionally had exceedingly short chanting time. That being the case, it seemed that it took effort for the magic’s preliminary arrangements.

There was no time to obstruct her.

「Corpse DemonMertvyak().」

The ground right beside Ilyailiya split. It was as though something was coming from hell, a pitch black heavy coffin was gradually rising up.

「Come out.」

The jet black Ilyailiya gave a brief instruction which opened the coffin’s lid to the right and left.

The contents of the coffin that was laid down horizontally on the ground couldn’t be seen clearly from Kazuki’s position. However, someone that was put inside the coffin was slowly getting up.

Green colored shadow――the one that started to move, who showed her appearance was Gino who should be left behind at the camp even now. She was wearing her green mantel and hat, but the face and her hands that were exposed from there not only lost their skin, they even lost the majority of muscle and flesh, bones that had changed color could be peeked through those.

There was not even any need to confirm, it was a corpse.

Her whitely clouded eyeballs were turning to look to his direction from emptiness.

The corpses that lacked not just will but even flesh and muscle was enshrouded by a mysterious violet magic power and moved.

Perhaps it was the magic of Robin Hood, the corpse materialized a bow and arrow and drew its string――and aimed at Kazuki.

「Ilyailiya! You-!!」

Magic that controlled the deceased――most likely it was limited to enemies that were killed by the jet black’s magic.

• hyun!* Kazuki yelled while evading the flying arrow, and glared.

――Ilyailiya was already gone.

……Damn it!

「You are shaken.」

A voice came from outside his awareness.

Against the fastest King as the opponent, it was foolish to avert one’s attention……!

「Kladenets……!」

Behind! Sign of magic power swelling up came from his blind spot.

「Kazuki! Getting hit by that is bad!!」

Beatrix immediately tackled Kazuki and bounced Kazuki to the side. A sword tip filled with terrific magic power passed through the spot where Kazuki stood up just before.

If Beatrix didn’t save him, he would suddenly get hit with that!

Kazuki put his stance in order even while exposing his anxiety and captured back Ilyailiya inside his perception.

「To use the dead like this……!」

「I won’t pointlessly waste even the ripple created in your heart by death.」

Just when he spotted Ilyailiya’s figure she immediately disappeared like haze and quickly approached him from outside his field of vision. Kazuki didn’t rely on his eyes and foresighted the presence of magic power and caught up to that movement.

「Ded Moroz.」

Ilyailiya’s silver right hand accelerated even further. The excessive speed caused the number of attack to increases as though they split countlessly. The silver sword thrusted intensely.

「Kazuki! There is no need to evade them all!!」

Beatrix yelled from the side.

「Kazu, ki……」Suddenly a voice came from Gino’s direction and he turned around.

「Cold……painful……after me next……I’ll, kill……」

……This isn’t the voice of that person.

That person, won’t say anything that indulgent!

Kazuki immediately saw through it and shook it off from his mind.

This woman, she would do anything for the sake of landing the sure kill hit effectively!!

「Kladenets.」

It was exactly at that time, inside the countless thrusts, one thrust was tinged with the might of sure kill.

The one that had to be evaded no matter what, was this!

「UOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!」

Kazuki dodged Ilyailiya’s attack with paper thin difference and unsheathed Ame no Murakumo in response to attack.

• zan!* For an attack without summoning magic added to it, it cut Ilyailiya diagonally and gave back the highest class recoil to his hand.

「This is two versus one, Ilyailiya! Right here!!」

As though she had been waiting for the instant when Kazuki came on top in the offense and defense, Beatrix also matched her timing and showered Ilyailiya with slashes from her side.

Struck with slashes of two people, Ilyailiya was blown away by the impact of magic intoxication.

「……You aren’t as shaken as I thought you would be. It would be better if I have the chance to kill someone closer to you. ……Perhaps Amasaki Mio or Otonashi Kaguya.」

Ilyailiya whispered to herself.

It felt like blood would rise to his head just from imagining that. But, this was just a cheap provocation.

The voice of Gino just now was also just Ilyailiya making the corpse talk using magic to divert his attention.

「I’ll teach it directly to your body that there are also cases where rage converts into strength.」

「Teach, is it. ……You should say that you will kill me there.」

Ilyailiya responded with a whisper.

It felt as though she wanted him to say that.

「I’ll defeat you and prove, that something like emotion bring nothing but weakness.」

She was a monster of logic.

However, it wasn’t the case that Ilyailiya lost all her emotion.

That was why Kazuki was fixated on winning.

「Beatrix, thanks for just now. You saved me.」

Beatrix’s expression brightened in a flash with an atmosphere like a big dog waving its tail.

「Fufufu, I too was in despair until Kazuki came. I got swallowed by the opponent. That was the first time I held such feeling in a fight……but it was all blown away when I heard Kazuki’s voice! I too will prove that Kazuki’s way is the correct one together with you!!」

「I’ll match my breathing with yours.」

「Got it. I’ll go out to the front and have fun fighting! ……Wahaha!」

Beatrix said that plainly and simply, and then the runes around Beatrix were shining stronger as though in agreement with that.

「……Looks like, the other side will get serious from here on too.」

On the other side Ilyailiya’s jet black half began chanting. It was like an eerie magic power pulse was hanging all around.

She failed landing a finishing blow with a surprise attack, this time she was starting to chant the spell of nuclear explosion.

「……I, turn transparent.」

Ilyailiya was chanting two magic alone while taking stance with her silver sword. That stance had a presence, it was as though several dozen people were lumped into one there rather than just two people.

Beatrix kicked on the ground vigorously.

Ilyailiya also met her attack with a speed that looked like she had vanished.

Beatrix foresighted the silver slash and swung her large sword. Ilyailiya dodged that with superior speed……the silver’s attack magic’s aim was fixed on Beatrix.

――The Rune of Foresight informed Beatrix that it was fine even if she didn’t bother with the magic attack.

『Kazuki will deal with it.』

Behind her something extraordinarily warm was backing her up――Beatrix felt like that.

In contrast……just what in the world was this coldness she felt from the back of the enemy in front of her? Beatrix was starting to ponder such.

The silver’s attack magic was invoked towards her.

「O sky, please guide the criminal to our homeland. Display the teaching of absolute frozen soil right here. Old Man Frost of TeachingLager Moros.」

The avatar of Svarog was floating behind the back of Ilyailiya who had changed into something like a Buddha statue. That sublime figure changed despair as it was into absolute zero and froze the air.

The chanting time was short, but its power was proportionate to level 8 or 9 magic of an average Diva. It couldn’t be defended at all using average defensive magic.

However Beatrix didn’t think about things like defense at all and slashed at Ilyailiya.

「Imitation Flare!!」

Kazuki fired a pseudo sun at that freezing world――an attack magic that couldn’t be blocked using ordinary defensive magic was neutralized by striking it using attack magic of the opposite element.

If the timing was off even just slightly, it would only result with Beatrix getting hit by two attack magics consecutively. Without being able of foresight and instant magic activation, this drastic measure was impossible to carry out.

Blizzard and sun clashed and formed a storm of rivalry. Inside that storm Beatrix dashed with a large sword in hand.

「What an amazing scenery! NUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!」

「……Jumping right from the front like this……」

Beatrix swung down her large sword with the might of her whole body. Ilyailiya was superior in speed, but regardless of that the unexpected assault unnerved her initial response.

Ilyailiya didn’t choose to dodge and blocked with her silver sword.

Blade and blade clashed, both of them pushed at each other with strength without using foresight or speed.

If the offense and defense became severe, then the chanting would be broken, or even if not it would be slowed down! Beatrix thought like that and put her whole body and soul into her hand that was gripping the large sword.

「O bird of heaven where the light of heaven is dwelling in that body, hear my accusation and burn away the sins on the earth! Israel Judgment!!」

Without a moment’s delay Kazuki aimed attack magic at Ilyailiya who couldn’t move. It was a heat laser magic that while possessing high power wouldn’t drag Beatrix, who was right beside Ilyailiya, into the attack.

「Israel Judgment!」Kazuki fired it consecutively using Zekorbeni’s instant chanting.

「……Blaze up, silent flux of all creation. Ogni Fonarei.」

Even though Ilyailiya had already created a sword with the silver flame, but she chanted the same magic again. The unrestricted silver flame that was like clay overflowed out so much it enveloped Ilyailiya.

「……Infinite CocoonBeskonechnyy Cocoon()!」

The overflowing silver flame was whirling while hardening, it became several layers of wall and wrapped Ilyailiya who couldn’t move like a cocoon.

――That wall had the property to reflect heat! Even while the laser was melting several layers, the laser’s power was dispersed and blocked completely.

It was hard. Furthermore the silver Ilyailiya further chanted 『Ogni Fonarei』 once more in the attempt to continue reproducing the silver flame. She was planning to increase the thickness of the silver wall further.

Infinite defense while the jet black’s magic was being chanted……!

「Why, are you trying to be transparent!」

However Beatrix was already inside the silver cocoon. She put her whole strength into the sword locking contest and asked.

「Why are you asking something like that in the middle of battle……?」

「I am bothered and cannot help myself! This is a battle between fellow Kings to prove who is correct don’t you agree!」

Ilyailiya didn’t answer the question.

「You said that battle is fun but, do you really enjoy battle genuinely? ……When you comprehended that you had no chance of victory against me, you felt a fear for battle. Aren’t you only wishing to feel superior of yourself by winning?」

Beatrix felt a terrible weight on both her hands that were holding the large sword tightly.

It was as though all the soil of Russia became weight and leaned on the large sword.

Ilyailiya was pushing not just with speed――but also by power!

「If Kazuki was late in coming here even just for a bit, you would have died. If I used your corpse, I could have shaken up Kazuki more and would have been able to kill him easier, yet」

Gino’s corpse declined and then collapsed before weathering down and disappeared.

It seemed that Ilyailiya had lost her leeway to move that corpse.

「You were fortunate, I was fortunate――everything other than luck proves my rightness.」

「That’s not true! Because Kazuki came here by prioritizing this more than anything else to not let that happen!!」

「When one believes in kindness or love, they will become thickheaded to one’s own weakness and mistakes――to sin. The words of you just now, were merely that. You have no choice but to recognize that you are inferior to me.」

Sin――was that why she thought that she had to throw away her emotions no matter what?

Beatrix was outpushed by Ilyailiya……just before that happened, Beatrix’s body was wrapped in light.

「……I will do a good fight, welcome a good death, and wish to participate in even more battles of heaven! The divine protection of blood color in my eye! Berserk!!」

Beatrix put physical strength reinforcement magic on herself and supported her body that almost died out on her in this blade jostling.

「Berserk!」

Furthermore Kazuki layered up the same magic on Beatrix.

「!? What kind of reason is it that allows Hayashizaki Kazuki to use the magic of an enemy mythology……?」

Ilyailiya leaked out a shocked voice. That Ilyailiya, was shocked

「Because we aren’t enemies!!」

Beatrix replied as though it was only natural.

Beatrix who received layered up reinforcement magic firmly opened both her legs into bow-legged stance, 「FUNNUOOOOOOOOH!!」 she then raised a yell as though she was going to spit out her whole soul and pushed back the blade.

The sword locking contest was brought until it was back to equal.

「I don’t deny that I’m inferior to you! But right now you are alone!」

Beatrix yelled so and continued to question.

「Both Loki and Regina won’t come to save you!! That’s not a matter of good or bad luck!! I’m an idiot but I know that! What kind of logical tactic the distrust of you all created!?」

「The actions of you who came here to hold me back by entrusting your soldiers easily to another person isn’t a tactic or anything. It’s nothing more than betrayal to your subordinates and country.」

「The way of fighting and the way of living……the country and everything of all of you, I hate them!!」

「That’s not an objection.」

「Certainly when I thought that I might lose to you, I felt fear. But right now, I’m, having fun!!」

「Something like fun won’t create anything.」

Beside Beatrix, a new rune shined.

In Beatrix’s case, what Ilyailiya said wasn’t true.

The 『Rune of Strength』 strongly shined all the more. Beatrix finally began to push back on Ilyailiya’s sword. Ilyailiya’s body began to get pressured to the ground with her losing balance.

「……Flow down, beheading flash of sky. Pylevaja Zvezda.」

But Ilyailiya immediately activated magic that she was chanting even while locking swords. Countless meteors were flying from the sky. The silver cocoon opened a gaping hole just at that moment and let the meteors to infiltrate inside. Beatrix’s whole body was beaten up by the meteors.

「NUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!」

But Beatrix didn’t slacken even for a bit and endured through it.

「Then, what will sin create!?」

Beatrix yelled while enduring.

「Cool-headedness and rigidness……a world without compromise.」

「But you will be alone there! Your heart will be isolated in incomprehensible frozen soil!! You are scared of sin because you aren’t loved by anyone aren’t you!?」

Beatrix endured the meteors and activated her magic.

「O divine protection of warrior, double the Megin whirling inside my body! The will of god spurred by endless battles, in this body! ……Meginjord!」

Kazuki also believed that Beatrix was enduring the meteors and didn’t chant defensive magic.

「Meginjord!!」

He layered exactly the same magic. Even when he was outside the silver cocoon, Kazuki could participate in the fight with his reinforcement magic. Reinforcement followed with reinforcement, and further reinforcement.

Beatrix’s energy swelled up.

「Kuh……fu-hahahahahhahaha! It feels like my blood is seething!! The current me surpass a wild gorilla as a legendary gorilla!!」

「Absurd!」 Ilyailiya yelled slightly.

Indeed Beatrix was spouting out really absurd words, but her yell didn’t refer to that and instead referred to how Kazuki was using Norse Mythology magic many times.

The King of Japan and the King of Germany were purely understanding each other from their hearts as comrades, and that was something that Ilyailiya couldn’t possibly comprehend.

Beatrix’s gorilla power pressured Ilyailiya, which caused her knees to shake.

「Kuh. Can you say that mankind doesn’t have any sin? After all, you and Kazuki can only mouth off sentimental arguments regarding the future. You will only mistaken yourself like that for eternity……! Are you saying that you will continue deceiving yourself and consider that as love and kindness?」

「I’m not deceiving myself!! ……I love Kazuki!!」

Beatrix swung down the blade until the limit――the silver blade became countless fragments scattering everywhere.

A diagonal slash was landed on Ilyailiya’s chest that blew her away.

Her body immediately bounced back to Beatrix’s direction――inside the silver cocoon she was unable to escape the fierce attack of the gorilla in front of her. She failed to dissolve the magic right away.

And then the pursuing attack didn’t even take an instant.

「O god Thor of heaven! Applaud my sword dance and resound your roar! Dwell the thunder of heaven in this sword, don’t allow even the exchange of battle anymore, consign them to oblivion!! Fjorgyn Megin!!」

Beatrix’s blade was shrouded with thunder.

「O flow of atmosphere, gather in this body, become the storm that reject the bitter foe! The eye of the typhoon is my throne! Storm Fort!」

Kazuki wrapped Beatrix’s body, her movement, with a barrier of wind. The wind that blew following his will reinforced Beatrix’s body and accelerated her even more.

「I NAME THIIIIIIISSSS, LOVE LOVE STORM SLASH!!」

Beatrix put a spirit that staked everything into the swing of her large sword while naming the impromptu combination move. Ilyailiya finally controlled the cocoon――and poured it into the space between her and Beatrix. In an instant several layers of silver wall were standing in Beatrix’s way.

That wall was burst open. Destructive power like a thunder god added with speed like a wind god struck, Beatrix pulverized the walls all at once.

「Ogni Fonarei……Beskonechnyy Cocoon!!」

Even though it was destroyed, Ilyailiya still overflowed additional silver flames and tried to protect her body infinitely.

「Thunder fall on my body and I obtain the godspeed of lightning……awaken the sleeping lion! Ride Lightning!」

Kazuki layered up further acceleration magic on Beatrix. It was the next strengthening on top of many layers of strengthening towards the contractor of Thor――it could be said that the strongest warrior was born here.

「FUNGUOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!」

The large sword was swung down――swung up――swung down――swung up……Beatrix lost herself in wrecking the wall in front of her eyes, she wrecked, wrecked, and wrecked.

「Fungah! Fungah! Fungah! FUNGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!」

「Absurd. ……This is absurd!」

At that time the emotion that was slightly filling Ilyailiya’s shout, was it fear she wondered.

「I am……having fun here―!!」

The additional wall didn’t make it in time, the cocoon was completely smashed apart――the silver flame was finally exhausted!

Violent blade struck down Ilyailiya’s body without even giving her the time to run away. Ilyailiya’s two faces, four elbows that were knocked onto the ground were buried. That was how hard the attack was. Its might was like thunder. And then it didn’t stop with one attack. The blow kept coming like a wind god――.

「NUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! THIS IS THE ENDDDDDD!!」

Ilyailiya who was struck to the ground was further hit with a down swing――up swing――down swing――up swing……the ground was turning into a widening crater due to the shockwaves. Ilyailiya couldn’t move at all while she was getting buried into the ground. The light of smashed defensive magic power was rising like a blue tornado. Although she was a King with magic power to match, but at this rate she wouldn’t have long.

No defense was allowed……!

「This is your defeat……」

However the silver face said that.

「……You cannot break, my magic chanting even once, therefore……!」

The jet black face said that. Steadily, no matter how much she was delayed, she was steadily, without any pause, continuing with that chanting……!

But if this was no good, then they would surely be able to take away the chanting from the King who was protected by infinite cocoon by the use of any kind of method. The answer couldn’t be found using rational logic.

The magic power of jet black Ilyailiya was swelling up. The Prima Materia around the two were starting to move erratically, turning into huge fireballs. The fireballs were enveloping Beatrix and Ilyailiya――!

「「Hah, hahahahahahahahaha!! This is my victory! I won!!」」

Ilyailiya finally laid bare her emotions and yelled laughingly.

Her sealed emotion overflowed out.

「……O fluctuation of Prima Materia, derive the end of everything here from the beginning of everything…….

Entrust the chain of world creation to my body, become white flame that tears the world…….

――El De Es Nui!!!」

Finally――it activated.

Even the strongest warrior would surely be erased to nothing with this, the destruction that transcended human intellect.

In front of this phenomenon, Beatrix felt fear.

『There is no need to fear……because the warmth behind is coming for you.』

The rune whispered so.

Beatrix ignored the destruction magic and turned around――there Kazuki was rushing right to her.

Without slowing down the momentum of his dash, Kazuki kissed Beatrix.

Through the lips, a warm feeling connected between the two of them, and the magic power circuit flowed open.

「My battle exists together with rage and blessing! Acting as the agent of the war god, cast down the anger and blessing toward lifes to thy crown of head……Mjollnir!」

As King Solomon, Kazuki pulled out the greatest power from Thor of Norse Mythology.

――In that instant, Ilyailiya’s gaze became as though she was looking at something that she couldn’t understand even now.

While embracing Beatrix in his left hand, a hammer was created in his right hand along with explosive light. What was produced from that part for striking, was the power of destruction of all creation.

Kazuki swung that down towards the crowd of Prima Materia displaying mystery before his eyes.

「The destructive power of my jet black’s magic is above that magic!!」

The jet black Ilyailiya screamed.

「The sin of man who tried to rule even until the origin……atom magic!!」

「But magic is not a phenomenon, but the power of the heart!!」

Kazuki yelled back.

「This is Beatrix’s victory! Your heart is not strong!!」

「How can I be defeated by that kind of logic!」

The infinite chain of destruction of Prima Materia, and the concept of the destruction of all creation in myth clashed, the whole scenery was blown away in pure white.

His field of vision was pure white, and his ears were ringing. His skin felt electrified. His magic power perception was also paralyzed. All his senses were paralyzed for a while and he didn’t understand anything.

He didn’t know how long he lost his consciousness. Kazuki stood up with staggers.

Beatrix also collapsed right beside him. Ilyailiya was also collapsed a few meters ahead. However the one who stood up first was Kazuki.

「U, unugugugugu」Beatrix groaned and then stood up too.

When her eyes met Kazuki, she made a blank face in puzzlement.

「……I, I feel like, just before my memory cut off something amazing was done to me but」

Kazuki was feeling strangely bashful and looked aside.

「Isn’t that just your imagination?」

Just what was he doing even if he got embarrassed by something of that level after this late? He thought that he had returned to a composed attitude overflowing with broad-mindedness but……when he thought that the other party was Beatrix he got strangely embarrassed.

「There was! There really was!! Do it one more time!!」

Beatrix shook Kazuki’s shoulders back and forth with a bright red face. His head was dizzy.

「Santa Claus didn’t come to my home……」

A voice suddenly came. When they turned around, Ilyailiya was also standing up even if it was later than them.

She was still wearing her magic dress, they noticed this late.

――That appearance displayed that she was still in a fighting shape.

「When I was a child, I knew that there was an event called Christmas and felt envious. You said that my heart is shut under frozen soil? My Ded Moroz had never said anything to me other than telling me to be obedient……」

She was whispering something in mutters with a far-away look and empty face that looked beaten.

Her silver face and arms were gone, her figure was a single color of jet black. Throughout her face that lacked expression, it were only her eyes shining with pitch black darkness dwelling there――it was like a water surface at the bottom of a deep well, a stagnating shine.

Those eyes were dyed with a single emotion.

They looked like large stones, that if removed a hole would come into view and something like gas that was sealed inside would overflow out all at once.

「I’m jealous……jealous……the truth is, I want to be cared for even if I have to toy with the dead……all of me that I have killed until now, I want it to be cared for……by you, Hayashizaki Kazuki!!」

All the emotion that she had forcefully killed through her whole life until now was dyed with pitch black jealousy and blazed up all at once. Emotionless life, it was the very definition of curse itself. Magic power was emitted out from Ilyailiya’s flesh in the amount that made him want to question just where was that much magic power was left in her.

But Kazuki immediately noticed, that wasn’t magic power, it was life.

As though to prove that, the black flame was blowing upward while Ilyailiya’s body was weakening like a withered branch!

She was offering her very own life in order to invoke some kind of magic!!

「Black Dragon Wave ObliterationZmey!!!」

Black flames spouted up with a force that could pierce the sky, it undulated like a dragon and then surged towards Kazuki. Ilyailya whose body had went passed being bone and looked like a withered branch sent out her everything and her condition collapsed.

The black dragon approached――Kazuki foresighted the nature of that magic power.

That was Ilyailiya’s Original One.

It wasn’t her life force――it was her whole life until now. Her whole life that was filled with curse and her life force were changed into magic which attacked the King with the most abundant emotion.

Curse――even if he ran away that magic would chase after its target until it devoured him completely .

If that magic got its teeth into him then it would never let go of him.

Surely there was no way to defend against it.

――As long as no one shouldered that curse in his place.

「Kazuki, look out!!」

Kazuki was frozen in place even with Foresight. In front of Kazuki who was like that――surely her body moved without her even thinking about it――Beatrix cut in and accepted the jet black dragon.
