Chapter 205 - Volume 9
“Yes, it worked!”
“No”
To my dismay, Noel shook his head and discarded his sword. When it hit the ground, it made a dry noise and the blade shattered.
A sword that wasn’t imbued with magical power will be able to damage the chimera. But, a mere sword can’t withstand the full force of the Hero. And It’s also useless to depend on normal soldiers.
「⊥???∞∬∂!!!」
Chimera rampaged in pain. I thought of a way to break through its defenses as I chanted healing magic to the two people who were getting hurt.
“What’s with the golden sword? Even if the magic doesn’t work, amazingly it’s still strong enough?”
“Well that’s….”
Rick’s sword, which he wielded as he said it, slashed through the chimera’s wings, but it didn’t seem to be doing much good.
“This sword seems to be absorbing aura and emits light.”
Did I add that feature? Well, the amount of magic it contains isn’t infinite, so I guess it’s absorbing the surrounding magic element as well, don’t tell me it also sucked out the user’s life force…
“I’ve kept you waiting!”
Whack!! And with a good sound, the Chimera was kicked by Nia to the side.
So even demonic attacks work if they’re physical… Nia showed a peace sign to me, but maybe that was because that was what she used to win a rock-paper-scissor against Tina.
“Nia, can you do it?”
“Good luck.”
Nia’s eyes sharpened as she looked at the chimera. As I thought, it felt uncomfortable with Nia’s existence.
「ゞ〃∬∂?ヽ⊿ゞ〃♭e??∮!!!」
“Well then–”
With a faded shout, Nia lunged in and ducked the chimera’s fangs. Nia struck it with her bare hands and managed to pick the chimera’s scales off of its flesh.
「♭e??∮!!!?」
The Chimera screamed as the girl punched the monster. The two boys, who were dumbfounded by the sight of the girl beating the monster, picked up the black knights’ swords and began to join in the attack.
The Chimera was a strong opponent to defeat, but while it was strong, it’s more of a troublesome opponent. But, well, I guess we can get by on this one somehow? Just when I thought the danger would soon disappear, the Chimera instinctively realized the eventuality of it’s annihilation and began to snarl lowly and glare at me, looking for a way to flee.
……Intimidation? No, this is something different.
“Everyone, leave this place now!”
『ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ〃ヾゞ!!!』
The scream of the soul. It’s not a physical sound, but a soul curse emitted by the demon and spirit souls in that thing, grinding away at not only it’s existence, but also the surrounding.
“””Guh!!”””
In the blink of an eye, the forest around them withered. Not just Rick and Noel, but even Nia, the great demon, fell to her knees, holding her ears.
The Chimera who was doing such a thing wasn’t safe either. It’s body began to collapse as it continued to scream.
“Kuh…”
I can endure it even if it caused me some discomfort, but a normal demon, let alone a human, can’t endure the scream of the soul until the collapse of the chimera.
The sorrowful cries of the spirits and demons whose existence has been distorted. Spirits and demons are incompatible, but they are both part of the world, and their very existence maintains the balance of the world.
This is something that has distorted the world. Why did you make this thing? If you call this human malice———
At that time — I heard a faint little voice.
『【Abnormal situation confirmed】』
The words were pouring out of my mouth. –Eh? I didn’t say that.
『【The possibility of global harm have exceed the prescribed level–】』
The [words] came out of my mouth on their own. This was bad, I don’t know what it was, but I felt like I shouldn’t say more than that.
But it’s not on my will that’s overflowing from my mouth. If I don’t stop this immediately—-
“Calm down, Yurushia.”
The next thing I knew, the chimera had stopped screaming and a young man was holding it down.
“…Eh…Ah…Rinne?!”
Oh, I can speak normally now. But why was Rinne here? While I was a little surprised to see Rinne, he was blocking the movement of Chimera and he grinned at me.
“Did you not need it?”
“…U- Um. Thank you.”
I needed to clear my mind of a lot of things. I exhaled softly as I leaned into Rinne’s hand as he touched my cheek.
“You want me to take care of this one?”
“No.”
I was getting a little pissed off about a lot of things. Certainly, there are a lot of things to worry about, but if you care about each one, you can not be a demon.
“Hei!!”
My full chop smashed the chimera’s head, and the chimera disappeared easily as it hit the ground.
What was all that hard work so far for……..
*********
“Nice to meet you, my great uncle. My name is Yurushia La Von Verusenia, the fifth in line of succession to the throne. Can I have a word with you?”
Tina had long evacuated far away, but at last we were able to meet up and we finally got to talk to my granduncle Christopher.
When I introduced myself as such, he looked at my face and my ring and muttered quietly, “I see…” and then my granduncle took a vassal’s bow toward me and knelt down.
“I am pleased to meet you for the first time, Princess Yurushia. Can you listen to me, please?”
“Yes, that’s why I’m here to pick you up.”
It seems that we will finally talk about the main subject. –It’s good, but after the battle ended, I can feel the three men staring at each other silently behind me….
