Part 2, Chapter 64 (257)
“Sister, are you… are you okay?”
“Thanks to you. We can talk about the details once we escape, right?”
It had been such a long, long, long time.
I never abandoned hope that we’d meet again, but now that we actually faced each other, my mind went completely blank.
I could only gaze at my sister’s magnificent silhouette.
Diolrose gripped her scythe tightly, then slowly raised her hand.
A dark sphere coalesced on the curved blade.
The shadowy light that blazed like black flames soon engulfed the entire scythe.
“There exists no one who contemplates illusions, nor anyone who possesses falsehood.”
Then my sister opened her mouth and quietly chanted the incantation.
“The festival ends and the clown washes away their makeup. Shatter the stage where the curtain has fallen.”
A tremendous force erupted, and from behind my sister, a woman with jet-black hair materialized and grasped the scythe alongside her.
The next motion was a clean horizontal slash.
But the result was far from simple.
“It opened! The door!”
Through the gap carved by the scythe, a bizarre spacetime like the cosmos unfurled. Spotting a door floating within it, I immediately seized Blake’s wrist.
“According to plan! Take my sister and get out of here!”
“You have to come too!”
“I’m going to help Rasifer.”
The wall writhed as if alive, sealing the fissure once more. At a glance, time was running out.
“Go, Blake.”
Rasifer intended to pour everything he had into this moment. I could feel his resolve in my very bones.
‘If I join in and can hold out even slightly longer than Rasifer, we’ll be able to escape together.’
Please, Curtain Jellyfish.
Take these two people outside.
The enormous jellyfish, understanding my intention, undulated forward and tucked the barely conscious Diolrose into its embrace.
Blake, who had been hesitating, was also pulled in by the tentacles, and the jellyfish bounced and bounced toward the door.
“Where do you think you’re going!”
Crack!
Lightning struck from above my head. The Earth Spirit King blocked it for me.
Attacks continued to pour down afterward, but each time the Spirit King deflected them.
“You think you can escape!”
Kaiser’s form, which had been exchanging blows with Rasifer, vanished in a flash and appeared before me.
He seemed intent on attacking me first to break through, but before he could, Rasifer shot a golden arrow that blocked Kaiser.
Kaiser dodged left and right, trying to seize me, but each time the arrow’s trajectory shifted ever so slightly.
Probably thanks to the Luck Spirit King.
“Blake, use your cards!”
I shouted loudly and watched as the Spirit Kings surrounded and bound Kaiser, then I dodged out of the way.
Fortunately, Blake understood and, with the Air Spirit King’s aid, conjured a hurricane.
Trying to handle the Spirit Kings’ power alone without dividing it meant I couldn’t draw out their full might, but using the card made all the difference.
The Curtain Jellyfish caught in the wind drifted helplessly, struggling to regain its balance. Through the gap it created, the jellyfish was pushed forward, its tentacles grasping the door and pulling it open.
‘It worked!’
The moment the Curtain Jellyfish vanished, relief drained the strength from my legs.
It was naturally Rasifer who caught me as I stumbled.
“Shu, this space is collapsing. You need to get out first.”
“No. Let’s win together and leave.”
Two is always better than one. That’s simply the truth.
Kaiser Laximan, finally realizing that Diolrose had truly vanished, let out a cry filled with rage.
It was the first time I’d witnessed him express emotion like this.
So he only shows feeling when it concerns his wife.
“I was trying to settle this amicably, but you’ve chosen to dig your own grave.”
“Well. I always intended for only one of us to leave this place alive.”
Pure white light swirled above Rasifer’s head.
Everyone was preparing for the final confrontation.
This had to end here.
‘And my role is to endure so the Spirit Kings can unleash their full power.’
My nose stung, and blood began to drip.
My vitality was draining away beyond what I could bear.
Yet I refused to give up. I had no intention of doing so.
I wiped the blood from beneath my nose where Rasifer couldn’t see, then smiled at Mother, who looked worried.
“If I’m captured, I’ll be forced to turn back time. So please, let just one of you stay by my side to protect me.”
[I’ll stay.]
The Luck Spirit King drew close to me and pulled me into an embrace.
The pleasant scent of grassland filled my senses.
That fragrance I loved so dearly.
‘Later, once we escape this place, I absolutely must search for Rasifer’s Four-Leaf Clover with them.’
Thus, everyone except the Luck Spirit King turned to oppose Kaiser Laximan.
‘With the Luck Spirit King here, the stray attacks aren’t reaching us.’
The byproducts of the attacks narrowly miss or are fortunately deflected away.
The power of luck was truly this immense.
‘I could use this in future battles to protect our allied forces.’
The brilliant flashes of magical power made it difficult to see Rasifer and Kaiser clearly.
The light only grew brighter, and brighter still.
The world blazed so intensely my eyes burned, and then in the next instant.
A sharp sound echoed from somewhere, and darkness consumed everything.
“…Pel?”
* * *
Had I ever unleashed magic with such abandon before?
Fighting his own father, Rasifer trembled as exhilaration surged through him from head to toe.
Every time, I had to endure it, suppress it, and bear it with measured tolerance.
Because his power could inflict great harm upon the world.
Beautiful things would shatter, and Superti would grieve.
With that single thought, he always—always—held his own leash.
“You are like me, my son.”
The emotionless face drew closer, launching a lethal strike. Rasifer evaded it lightly and countered with a sharper attack.
“Do you think you have the right to call me a monster? If it were you, could you remain sane after losing that child?”
“I have not lost yet. It is something that will never happen.”
Crash!!
Within the eyes of both who collided fiercely burned an obsession of identical form.
They were too alike to do anything but despise each other.
Especially between one who had already lost and could never reclaim, and one who had not yet lost—there lay a chasm too deep to bridge.
‘I cannot drag this out longer. Thanks to the Spirit Kings’ aid between attacks, we still hold the advantage… but it will place tremendous strain on Superti.’
Truthfully, I wanted to fight more.
Fight, and fight, and fight.
I wanted to pour out every drop of magical power until nothing remained.
But I forcibly suppressed such greed.
With each exchange of blows, it felt as though a black void opened in the depths of my heart.
Though I did not wish to know what it was, Rasifer understood instinctively.
It was hunger.
And simultaneously, madness.
‘I must not give it attention.’
Most fallen wizards were similar.
They had been consumed by the madness within themselves.
The moment one gazes into the abyss at a monster, one forgets what is precious and spirals into rampage.
“I’m sick of this. Let’s end it now. It was good to meet you, Father.”
An ultimate spell crafted for use in the final battle.
An annihilation spell that rivaled Hellfire in power as a single strike took form in his hand.
As Rasifer drew the bowstring of the bow and arrow he had created, the Spirit Kings took turns confronting Kaiser.
“You too should live here with your companion. That is the only way to possess something eternally.”
Kaiser, who had likewise created an annihilation spell, whispered coldly.
To that, Rasifer laughed and shrugged his shoulders.
“I’d rather grow old and die ordinarily. I’ll live just one day longer than my companion.”
“You’re still young and know nothing. You too will meet the same end! You will also…!”
“Yeah, shut up. You don’t seem to understand—I haven’t lost yet.”
The future will be this way, and that way. Such words are unnecessary.
There’s no need to worry about what hasn’t happened when the present is so happy.
If I cherish the present, the future will also bloom beautifully.
“I won’t live consumed by inferiority. Unlike you, Father.”
The conversation ended there.
What followed was a collision on the scale of an asteroid exploding.
