Chapter 175

Keistimewaan Pekerjaan Umum

Raungan lima naga surgawi mengguncang udara.

Naga surgawi yang berubah menjadi monster sementara setengah tubuh sihir meninggalkan kendali kastor dan membidik mangsanya secara mandiri. Tekanan yang dipancarkan jauh melampaui naga surgawi yang Yue sering gunakan sebelumnya. Lima elemen sihir yang membentuk tubuh-tubuh itu juga berevolusi di mana sekarang mereka memiliki kejahatan yang layak yang jelas untuk dilihat.

“Duniaku dulu adalah dunia di mana sihir adalah fondasinya. Saya tidak membual, tapi saya ingat bahwa perkembangan di sana luar biasa. Ada banyak variasi artefak, orang-orang terbang bebas di langit, mereka bisa berhubungan dengan tempat yang jauh, mereka bergerak menggunakan teleportasi, bahkan umur mereka dapat diperpanjang beberapa ratus tahun lebih menggunakan perawatan magis. Sihir dan teknologi yang didasarkan dari itu membuat dunia itu berlimpah. ”

* pashii! * Suara cahaya itu bergema dan sosok naga petir menghilang. Tidak, tubuh besar itu berubah menjadi kilatan petir dan bergerak dengan kecepatan kilat. Pada saat berikutnya, itu muncul di samping Hajime.

(Cepat … tetapi, jika hanya secepat kilat lalu-)

Naga itu mengangkat auman guntur sementara rahangnya yang terbuka dengan cepat menarik segala sesuatu di sekitarnya. Bahkan bintang-bintang cahaya ditelan dan padam di dalam sana, Hajime yang hampir ditarik masuk seperti bintang-bintang cahaya segera mengeluarkan beberapa granat tangan gravitasi ke udara kosong.

Granat tangan gravitasi yang dengan mudah ditarik meledak dengan waktu yang tepat tepat ketika mereka masuk ke dalam mulut naga petir dan menghasilkan daerah gravitasi super.

Naga petir yang menelan semuanya saat mendekat diratakan oleh tekanan ke bawah yang tiba-tiba dihasilkan dan melewati di bawah Hajime yang melayang di udara menggunakan using Angkatan Udara ’.

“Tapi, apa yang menunggu dunia yang sudah maju hanyalah akhir mereka. Dunia kita juga bukan pengecualian untuk itu. Sesuatu seperti perang akhir yang terjadi karena sumber daya yang habis, atau nilai-nilai, atau mungkin karena masalah ekonomi atau ide politik yang berbeda, itu bukan penyebabnya. Alasannya adalah sesuatu yang lebih, sesuatu yang tidak bisa ditolong. Apakah Anda tahu apa itu, tidak teratur? "

"Ts"

Ehitorujue mempertanyakan, namun Hajime tidak bisa menjawab. Dia tidak punya keberanian untuk menjawab.

Karena setelah dia melepaskan naga petir, naga biru berputar tepat di belakangnya dan menekannya dengan kuat bersama dengan panas yang sangat besar.

Di depannya adalah hujan meteor. Di bawah ada naga petir, di kiri dan kanan ada naga badai dan naga es. Jika dia menghindar maka dia pasti akan membidik dari belakang dan dipaksa untuk menanggung kerusakan yang sulit untuk diabaikan.

Karena itu, Hajime mengeluarkan chakram variabel 'Orestes' ke udara kosong.

Suara * kashun * segera keluar dan kawat yang dibagi menjadi tiga bagian membentuk gerbang berbentuk bulat. Naga biru menyerbu langsung ke gerbang, tepat setelah itu naga biru terbang dari atas naga es yang mendekat dari sisi kanan. Hajime telah menerapkan ‘Presence Isolation’ pada satu chakram variabel lainnya dan membuatnya terbang ke sana.

Naga biru yang tiba-tiba muncul bertabrakan dengan musuh alami naga es yang menyebabkan naga es mengaum kesakitan. Dan kemudian, naga es memelototi Orestes yang memindahkan naga biru dan menghembuskan es dan salju. Dengan itu Orestes membeku seketika seolah-olah itu dimandikan dengan nitrogen cair, tepat setelah itu itu dipengaruhi oleh bintang cahaya dan mudah hancur.

Terlepas dari deru naga es dan suara Orestes yang ditumbuk, suara Ehitorujue masih mencapai telinga Hajime dengan lancar.

“Mereka sampai pada kebenaran. Teknologi sihir dikembangkan secara menyeluruh sampai mereka dapat mengganggu informasi dari dunia itu sendiri, ke materi, ke kehidupan, ke bintang, ke waktu, ke lingkungan. Dan kemudian, tidak peduli zaman peneliti selalu tidak dapat menahan rasa ingin tahu mereka. Mereka meraba-raba teknologi yang mengganggu kebenaran yang menyebar di dunia seperti bermain dengan mainan … dan itu menjadi penyebab yang menghancurkan dunia. Dunia kita terbunuh oleh keingintahuan orang-orang yang menangani sihir. ”

Hajime menetralkan bintang-bintang cahaya menggunakan Cross Velt. Selanjutnya, dia memerintahkan para Grim Reaper untuk membidik Ehitorujue. Jenis Elang Grim Reaper tersebar bom cluster di atas Ehitorujue. Namun, ledakan bom dengan mudah dihancurkan oleh hujan meteor yang ditembakkan dari lingkaran cahaya, yang menghasilkan hanya partikel berkilau yang berserakan. Serangan Hajime sama sekali tidak mencapai Ehitorujue.

Ekspresi Ehitorujue bahkan tidak menunjukkan gangguan.

“Kebenaran hancur dan dunia dengan cepat runtuh … situasi pada waktu itu persis seperti gambaran kekacauan di neraka. Tidak ada yang bisa dilakukan sama sekali. Manusia tidak memiliki jalan lain selain kehancuran bersama dengan planet ini. Dengan pengecualian bagian 'yang tiba'. "

Hajime mengambil semua Orestes yang bisa dia kendalikan dalam upayanya untuk berurusan dengan lima naga surgawi, tetapi Ehitorujue menjentikkan jarinya saat berbicara.

Tepat setelah itu, beberapa ratus tombak dewa petir menghujani dari udara kosong dan menggoreng semua Orestes tanpa meninggalkan debu. Selain itu, petir yang benar-benar dikemas di dalam tombak dilepaskan dan menyerang Hajime dari segala arah seperti jaring laba-laba. Sambil memperkuat tubuhnya dengan 'Vajra', Hajime dievakuasi dengan tergesa-gesa tetapi dia tidak dapat pergi tanpa kerusakan. Dagingnya dipanggang yang sedikit mengganggu sarafnya.

Di sana naga bumi menyerangnya.

"'Mereka yang tiba' adalah orang-orang yang mampu mengoperasikan esensi dari apa yang kalian semua sebut sebagai zaman sihir dewa. Mereka, hanya mereka yang dapat menemukan metode untuk diselamatkan. Metode itu adalah teleportasi ke dunia lain. Fufu-, bukankah itu menggelikan? Lagipula hanya pemimpin kelompok yang menghancurkan dunia yang bisa melarikan diri dari kehancuran. ”

Di tengah gema tawa Ehitorujue yang dipenuhi dengan ironi, kawat dengan bijih yang terpasang di kedua ujungnya melonjak melalui udara kosong.

Kawat terjerat di sekitar naga batu yang mendekat dan naga petir di udara dalam banyak lapisan. Tepat setelah itu, riak ganas menyebar dari bijih. Itu adalah artefak yang mengikat 'Bola' yang telah diperkuat sejauh ini.

Beroperasi bersama dengan bijih, bagian kawat yang juga merupakan model yang dikembangkan dipasang langsung ke ruang angkasa, sehingga setengah sihir setengah naga surgawi fisik juga terikat dengan kuat di tempatnya.

Kedua naga surga meraung dan mengamuk dengan hebat untuk melarikan diri dari ikatan.

Hajime mengambil Schlagen AA sekali lagi dan memperbaiki tujuannya menggunakan batu mata ajaibnya dan menarik pelatuknya.

Spark melakukan laras dan Schlagen AA meraung, peluru kemudian terbang ke mulut naga petir dan maju ke depan tanpa memperhatikan petir dan menghancurkan batu ajaib naga.

Pada saat yang sama, enam peluru yang ditembakkan dari Donner sepanjang lintasan yang sama mencungkil lubang di dalam mulut naga batu yang dilubangi oleh api terkonsentrasi dari Cross Velts. Peluru-peluru itu langsung membatu dan menjadi batu yang rapuh, tetapi meski begitu, peluru-peluru itu bergerak maju di dalam naga batu dan peluru terakhir ditembakkan melalui batu ajaib tanpa menjadi membatu.

Peluru terakhir adalah peluru yang dilapisi dengan batu penyegel. Hajime hanya memiliki sedikit sisa karena dia tidak hemat dalam menggunakannya untuk senjata Syiah dan orang lain atau perisai besarnya, peluru yang dilapisi dengan batu penyegel ini adalah sesuatu yang perlu dia pikirkan dengan hati-hati sebelum menggunakannya.

Hajime dengan hebat mengalahkan dua naga surgawi, tetapi karena itu kakinya berhenti bergerak. Kompensasi untuk itu besar.

“Seperti itu 'yang tiba' termasuk aku tiba di dunia ini. Saat itu kami terkejut. Lagipula, dunia ini sangat primitif sehingga tidak bisa dibandingkan dengan dunia kita. Makhluk-makhluk perkasa dengan kekuatan khusus mulai merajalela, sementara umat manusia bersembunyi di bawah bayang-bayang seperti gua atau lubang di tanah sementara hidup nyaris tidak tergeser. ”

Ehitorujue memiliki pandangan jauh dalam kenangan sambil melambaikan tangannya.

Segera kaki Hajime dipasang di suatu tempat bersamaan dengan ruang itu. Meskipun dia berkonsentrasi pada ceritanya tetapi dia dengan sempurna memahami saat kaki Hajime berhenti, ruang terkompresi dalam bentuk balok yang sama seperti ruang tetap yang menangkap Bencana Metsurai benar-benar menguasai Hajime.

(Tidak baik-)

Kegelisahan muncul dalam ekspresi Hajime. Dia segera mengubah kekuatan sihirnya menjadi benturan untuk mencoba menghancurkan ruang tetap.

Tapi, lawannya tidak terlalu manis untuk membiarkan pembukaan seperti itu lolos.

Badai naga meraung sambil menyerang Hajime yang tidak bergerak. Rahangnya menelan Hajime sebelum menutup dengan snap. Bilah angin dan kerikil yang ada di dalam tubuhnya menyerang Hajime tanpa ampun. Kerusakan terjadi pada Hajime yang tetap menggunakan 'Vajra'. Darah disemprotkan ke mana-mana dan suara yang tidak menyenangkan * gokibeki- * bergema.

Di dalam badai kekerasan yang setara dengan siksaan, Hajime menetapkan tujuan Schlagen AA bersama dengan teriakan semangat juang dan merobek naga badai dari dalam tubuhnya.

Ehitorujue melanjutkan ceramahnya tanpa menunjukkan kepedulian bahwa monster yang ia ciptakan terbunuh.

“Di dunia seperti itu, kami 'yang tiba' memutuskan untuk mengolahnya. Kami memusnahkan monster yang hidup sejak zaman kuno, dan memberikan kebijaksanaan kepada penduduk asli. Desa kecil berubah menjadi kota tak lama kemudian menjadi kota, dan kemudian sebelum kami menyadari itu telah menjadi sebuah negara. Pada periode itu kami telah dihormati sebagai dewa. Kami menggunakan teknik rahasia kebenaran dan mengubah keyakinan agama menjadi kekuatan, kami berusaha untuk memperkuat dan menyuburkan jiwa kami juga sekitar periode itu. "

Hajime menghancurkan naga badai dan meledak keluar dari dalamnya, tubuhnya menjadi berlumuran darah yang membuat penampilannya tampak celaka.

Tapi, naga es itu meraung tanpa ada waktu untuk bernapas.

Hajime melempar semua 'Bola' yang dia miliki ke arah naga biru yang mendekat dari arah yang berlawanan, dia juga menahan naga itu lebih jauh menggunakan Cross Velts, memerintahkan para Grim Reaper untuk memusatkan api, kemudian dia berbalik ke arah rahang naga es yang terbuka. dan membidik Schlagen AA. Seketika itu Schlagen AA membeku dengan momentum mengerikan dari ujungnya.

"Serangan terkoordinasi ya-"

Tampaknya naga es mampu menurunkan suhu secara langsung pada koordinat yang ditargetkan. Itu adalah kemampuan yang ditangani naga es Yue tidak punya.

Hajime sudah tidak dapat menarik pelatuknya, pembekuan terus bergerak dengan momentum yang hampir membeku bahkan lengan buatannya. Selain itu, dengan instruksi Ehitorujue, hujan meteor dan ras cahaya menyerbu sisi kiri Hajime dengan waktu yang tepat.

Meskipun dia entah bagaimana mampu mengusir kembali hanya para rasul cahaya menggunakan bom bunuh diri Grim Reaper dan Cross Velts, tetapi dia tidak dapat menetralkan seluruh hujan meteor, Hajime menerima serangan langsung di lengan kirinya.

Meskipun baju besi lengan buatan sedikit mengurangi kerusakan yang dia terima, Schlagen AA yang dia lepaskan tanpa sengaja karena dampaknya tersedot ke rahang naga es. Seperti itu sudah jelas bagaimana artefak akan berakhir. Schlagen AA berubah menjadi potongan-potongan kecil pada saat yang sama ketika naga es putih membekukan menutup rahangnya.

“Beberapa ribu tahun kemudian setelah itu, dunia ini menjadi sangat berkembang. Tetapi, seolah-olah dalam proporsi terbalik, salah satu dari 'yang tiba', dan satu orang lagi kehilangan keinginan untuk hidup, terlepas dari bagaimana mereka telah melampaui kebenaran kematian, mereka mengakhiri hidup mereka sendiri. Saya tidak dapat memahami itu tetapi … orang terakhir yang berhenti memperpanjang hidupnya mengatakan ini, 'Ini sudah cukup'. Pada akhirnya, sisa 'tiba' menjadi hanya aku. "

Hajime melemparkan granat yang tak terhitung jumlahnya ke sekitarnya dan segera menembak mereka.

Tepat setelah itu, ledakan api dihasilkan di udara yang menciptakan dinding api merah antara Hajime dan naga es. Untuk sesaat, pemandangan naga es terhalang, tetapi sesuatu seperti itu benar-benar tertelan ke dalam rahangnya secara instan seperti tidak ada apa-apa.

Tapi, setelah ledakan api itu menghilang, di sisi lain ada senjata raksasa – sebuah bunker tiang pancang yang dipegang oleh Hajime ada di sana.

Pada saat berikutnya, percikan merah menyala dan taruhan dua ton raksasa ditembakkan dengan laju dua puluh tembakan per detik dipecat dan berubah menjadi kilatan. Rentetan pertaruhan raksasa yang seharusnya disebut sebagai dinding crimson menghantam naga es dari depan, ditambah dengan tarikan gravitasi oleh titik gravitasi di mulutnya, taruhan raksasa menusuk ke mulut besar naga tanpa penyimpangan.

Kemampuan membekukan naga es itu seketika membekukan pancang raksasa, tetapi karena kekuatannya pancang raksasa tidak bisa dilawan, mereka maju tak terbendung dan dicungkil. Dan kemudian, salah satu pancang raksasa menghantam batu ajaib di dalam dan dengan indahnya. berhasil menghancurkan naga. Sambil mengangkat jeritan penderitaan maut, naga es berubah menjadi kabut belaka dan bubar.

“Saya menjadi yang terakhir, sejak itu berapa bulan dan tahun telah berlalu kemudian … apakah itu seribu atau lima ribu tahun … Saya tidak ingat lagi tetapi, hari demi hari saya melihat manusia datang kepada saya mengangkat doa dan mempersembahkan , dan kemudian suatu hari, tiba-tiba saya berpikir. "Mari kita hancurkan mereka."

Hajime mengarahkan menara meriam bunker tumpukan gatling ke arah naga biru. Hujan meteor yang deras dan para rasul yang ringan semuanya tertiup angin oleh Cross Velts dan Grim Reaper.

Seperti itu, dia berbalik ke arah naga biru yang bahkan sekarang hampir selesai membakar banyak Bolas yang mengikat dirinya sendiri dan dia menarik pelatuk ―― sebelum dia bisa melakukan itu, Hajime tiba-tiba merasakan hawa dingin dan melompat menjauh dari tempat itu.

Tampaknya pilihannya benar. Tempat di mana Hajime berada pada saat sebelumnya ditembus oleh beberapa lusin tombak petir, mereka menyebarkan guntur besar di mana-mana.

Itu hanya selebar rambut. Sambil meneteskan keringat dingin dan darah, Hajime mengirim pandangan sekilas ke Ehitorujue. Ehitorujue masih melihat ruang kosong dengan pandangan jauh sambil berbicara tentang jalannya di masa lalu. Namun, serangannya masih menyiksa Hajime secara akurat dengan waktu yang luar biasa sehingga tidak ada yang lebih menjengkelkan dari ini.

Setelah dipermainkan sampai sejauh ini, Hajime mengkonfirmasi bahwa Ehitorujue merasakannya dengan akurat dan dia membuat ekspresi frustrasi. Pada saat yang sama, dia memutuskan bahwa pertama, dia harus membantai naga biru terakhir yang tersisa dan jadi dia memindahkan bunker tumpukan gatling ke arahnya.

Tapi, seperti yang diharapkan, sepertinya dia membiarkan waktu untuk pembunuhan yang pasti.

Naga biru yang tertahan menggunakan semua bola Hajime meraung keras. Pada saat itu, riak merah itu diselimuti oleh api biru. Nyala api biru menyala menyusuri kawat bola sebelum bergegas ke mana-mana dan nyala api biru menelan semuanya.

Suara ledakan terdengar dan sinar biru menerangi ruang, di tengah-tengah itu Ehitorujue menunjukkan ekspresi gembira. Dengan wajah cantik Yue, senyum itu memancarkan daya tarik seks yang luar biasa ,, tetapi bagi Hajime itu hanya membuat darahnya mendidih tanpa akhir.

“Kamu mengerti kan? Seperti halnya seorang pria yang ingin menajiskan wanita, seperti halnya bagaimana seseorang ingin menginjak salju yang baru, benda-benda indah, hal-hal berharga yang Anda tumpuk dengan putus asa, mereka memberikan kecantikan sejati mereka ketika mereka rusak. Kesenangan yang Anda dapatkan dari itu adalah sesuatu yang benar-benar sulit untuk digantikan oleh apa pun. Waktu itu ketika saya menginjak-injak semua yang telah saya lindungi sepanjang waktu selama beberapa ribu tahun, saya merasakan rasa manis yang tak terbayangkan. Orang-orang berteriak, jeritan yang meminta bantuan dari saya … bahkan sekarang, itulah satu-satunya hal yang saya ingat dengan jelas. "

Semua bola dibakar sampai habis. Naga biru melanjutkan kembali dengan kemarahan yang menyala-nyala.

Hajime akan membuat naga itu menjadi mangsa bunker tumpukan gatling tepat dari depan, tapi kemudian ruang di sekitar Hajime bergetar.

"――"

Peledakan ruang omni-directional.

Sambil menahan napas, Hajime melompat keluar dari pengepungan sebelum ruang itu bisa menghasilkan gelombang kejut.

Gempa hebat.

Meskipun Hajime setidaknya menghindari serangan langsung, ia tertabrak gelombang dan darah disemprotkan ke mana-mana dengan megah dari luka Hajime.

"Guu"

Hajime secara tidak sengaja mengeluh dan ekspresinya bengkok, ada nyala api biru di sudut pandangannya. Berlawanan dengan panas yang semakin dekat, benjolan es meluncur ke bawah tulang punggungnya.

Dia mencoba menggunakan Force Angkatan Udara ’untuk melarikan diri sambil memperkuat tubuhnya dengan ra Vajra’, tetapi gerombolan meteor berputar dan menari dengan kencang dalam mengantisipasi hal itu dan memblokir jalur pelarian Hajime.

“Meskipun aku sudah lupa sepenuhnya berapa lama aku telah hidup, hanya kesenangan yang kurasakan saat itu ketika semuanya hancur tak terlupakan. Karena itu, saya memutuskan. Bahwa dunia ini adalah mainanku. ”

Tatapan Ehitorujue akhirnya kembali dari masa lalu.

Dia menghadapi Hajime yang mencoba menerobos tarian hujan meteor menggunakan Donner dan Cross Velts, dan kemudian dia menjentikkan jarinya.

Itu adalah sinyal untuk ledakan.

Semua meteor yang mengikuti Hajime seperti angin puyuh meledak secara bersamaan. Gelombang kejut yang dihasilkan sama dengan granat tangan yang digunakan Hajime. Hajime segera menggunakan Cross Velts untuk meletakkan penghalang dan selanjutnya Grim Reaper menggunakan tubuh mereka sebagai perisai dalam bahaya tuannya untuk melunakkan dampaknya meskipun hanya sebentar.

Hajime yang ditelan oleh ledakan api dan cahaya ditelan oleh mulut naga biru yang terbuka penuh. Rahang api biru ditutup dengan jentikan. Segala sesuatu yang tersentuh akan tanpa ampun dikembalikan ke abu oleh api neraka kelas sihir tertinggi. Berpikir secara normal, mustahil untuk bertahan hidup setelah dimakan oleh nyala api itu.

Namun, batang naga biru menyala ―― di dalam nyala api biru ada crimson berkilau yang menunjukkan kelangsungan hidup Hajime. Ada empat Cross Velts di sekitar Hajime. Mereka terhubung satu sama lain menggunakan string kekuatan sihir dan meletakkan penghalang isolasi ruang, 'Four Point Barrier'.

Tapi, sebagai kompensasi untuk itu, permukaan Cross Velts mencair ke bawah detik demi detik. Tujuh Cross Velts yang dikendalikan langsung oleh Hajime secara alami terpesona dengan 'Vajra' dan juga dilapisi dengan batu penyegel, namun demikian Cross Velts ini tidak dapat bertahan lama. Itu adalah sesuatu yang dia mengerti, tapi seperti yang diharapkan, panas naga ini jauh melampaui naga yang digunakan Yue.

"Ya, jangan, meremehkan aku- !!"

Di dalam perut naga biru surgawi, suara yang berhenti sebentar namun penuh dengan ulet akan bergema. Hal yang menakjubkan adalah bahwa bahkan dengan penghalang isolasi ruang yang diletakkan Hajime masih diselimuti banyak api.

Tampaknya naga biru ini telah menembus api sama seperti Api Ilahi menyelinap ke dalamnya. Hangus oleh api itu, Hajime melangkah maju sambil meneteskan keringat berminyak, dia mengeluarkan Orestes yang membuat gerbang yang menghubungkan bagian dalam dan luar penghalang. Di depan gerbang ada batu ajaib naga biru.

Donner menembakkan flash merah tua bersama dengan suara ledakan, peluru melewati gerbang dan menembus lautan api biru. Peluru ajaib yang dilapisi dengan batu penyegel akurat menembakkan batu ajaib naga biru. Batu ajaib menjadi potongan-potongan kecil dengan suara ledakan, pada saat yang sama nyala api biru menyebar.

"Ya, semuanya adalah mainan saya, tidak teratur."

Suara menyeramkan yang telah dia dengar berkali-kali dari Ehitorujue bergema. Suara jentikan jari.

Seperti yang diharapkan, api biru yang menyebar menggeliat seperti makhluk hidup, itu menerobos dengan lancar ke empat Cross Velts yang mengelilingi Hajime.

Tepat setelah itu,

"Gaah"

Teriakan pendek Hajime diiringi ledakan nyala api besar naik. Empat Cross Velts pecah dari dalam. Api Ilahi yang menembus menyebabkan ledakan rantai dari peluru yang meledak dimuat di dalamnya. Diikuti oleh riak merah tua, gelombang kejut yang besar dan tak terhitung jumlahnya serta hamburan Divine Flame menyiksa Hajime secara menyeluruh dari empat arah.

Hajime segera menyebarkan granat tangan. Itu demi minum air dewa dan dengan paksa membuat celah. Seperti yang diharapkan, kerusakannya telah mencapai tingkat yang tidak bisa dia abaikan.

Tapi, angin maut membelai kulitnya dengan dingin saat itu. Naluri Hajime membunyikan bel alarm.

Tepat setelah itu, dinding crimson yang mekar sepenuhnya di sekitarnya dari granat tangan Hajime ditusuk oleh angin yang bertiup.

Hajime mematuhi perintah instingnya dan memelintir tubuhnya, dan tepat di sampingnya sebuah ruang terkilir melewatinya.

Pada saat yang sama, tangan kirinya yang mengeluarkan air dewa diperbaiki di ruang angkasa. Itu adalah waktu yang sempurna yang memanfaatkan pembukaan ketika Hajime mengambil tindakan menghindar. Langkah selanjutnya juga sama. Tombak Dewa Petir terbang keluar dari udara kosong dan menembak jatuh air dewa.

"Mengutuk—"

Hajime mengangkat suaranya tanpa sengaja, tapi itu sudah terlambat. Air dewa telah hilang dari tangan Hajime. Pada kesempatan yang sama, tangan tiruannya juga tertusuk dan telapak tangannya dilarutkan.

Hajime segera memperbaiki tangan tiruannya menggunakan transmutasi sambil melompat untuk menghindari hujan meteor yang deras.

"Sial-, meskipun itu adalah dewa air terakhir-"

Bersumpah keluar. Ehitorujue yang mendengar itu mengangkat sudut bibirnya.

Dan kemudian, dia mengangkat tangannya sebelum menjatuhkan tangan itu dengan tenang menunjuk ke Hajime. Segera, cahaya membengkak secara eksplosif dan bintang cahaya melesat keluar dari lingkaran cahaya seperti rudal yang bergerak di lengkungan dengan cahaya yang tertinggal di belakang.

Hajime mengeluarkan bunker tumpukan gatlingnya, mengarahkannya ke Ehitorujue dan kemudian dia maju ke depan sambil menembak.

Dari atas, seperti bintang-bintang yang jatuh dari langit malam, bintang-bintang yang bersinar turun hujan, para Grim Reaper yang jumlahnya menurun drastis sebelum ada yang tahu menggunakan tubuh mereka sebagai perisai, beberapa Cross Velts meletakkan penghalang di atas rute Hajime, dengan mereka momentum Tuduhan Hajime tidak berhenti. Bahkan ketika itu terjadi, seperti penghitungan mundur, senjata otonom dari produk-produk berkualitas Hajime meledak, fragmen mereka tersebar di mana-mana.

Tapi, seakan mengejek tekad Hajime yang dipaksa untuk membuat pengorbanan itu …

"Menurutmu apa iblis dan setengah manusia itu?"

Pertanyaan seperti itu bergema dari tepat di belakang Hajime.

Hajime merasakan getaran yang mengalir di tulang punggungnya. Dia menggunakan serangan tangan tiruannya yang kuat untuk berputar dengan kecepatan tinggi dan menembak Donner di belakangnya bahkan tanpa mengkonfirmasi apa pun.

Tapi, tidak ada seorang pun di sana, sebagai gantinya kehadiran muncul di sisi kiri Hajime di mana dia memegang bunker tumpukan gatling. Hajime membuka matanya lebar-lebar sambil mengirimkan pandangannya ke sana, pada saat yang sama tangan dengan lembut membelai artefak.

Dan kemudian, seperti apa yang terjadi di kastil raja iblis, bunker tumpukan gatling dengan mudah kembali menjadi debu.

Orang yang ada di sana adalah Ehitorujue. Dari tiga lapisan lingkaran cahaya, di punggungnya sekarang hanya ada lapisan lingkaran pertama, ia melompati bahkan persepsi Hajime dan sosoknya muncul dalam jarak yang sangat dekat.

(Teleport tanpa menggunakan gerbang … seperti yang diharapkan, dia benar-benar dapat melakukan sesuatu seperti itu.)

Mata Hajime menyipit dari bagaimana salah satu kekhawatiran yang ia simpan menjadi kenyataan. Tampaknya sihir yang memungkinkan tombak dewa petir muncul tiba-tiba dari udara kosong dan memindahkan artefak yang ia miliki 'Surga Keberadaan' juga dapat digunakan untuk memindahkan kastor sendiri. Dan kemudian, Ehito juga bisa mengubah artefak menjadi debu hanya dengan menyentuh mereka.

Sosok Ehitorujue menghilang dengan tenang sekali lagi.

Pada saat yang sama, rasa dingin berlari di punggungnya.

Hajime menembakkan peluru yang meledak di belakang dari siku lengan buatannya, tetapi cahaya yang dipancarkan dari lingkaran cahaya itu menghalanginya. Lengan Ehitorujue diayunkan ke bawah tanpa memperhatikan serangan balik Hajime.

Pedang cahaya menyerang Hajime mengikuti lintasan lengan itu. Hajime berputar menggunakan dampak dari menembakkan peluru yang meledak dan melangkah mundur untuk menghindar. Dia mengambil jarak lebih dari sepuluh meter dalam sekejap menggunakan kecepatan supernya tapi …

"- !?"

Laserasi diagonal diukir dari bahu Hajime hingga sisi tubuhnya. Meskipun dia seharusnya sudah keluar dari jangkauan pedang namun dia masih tertabrak. Wajah Hajime melengkung kesakitan sementara tatapannya yang tajam menusuk Ehitorujue.

“Tidak perlu kaget. Ini disebut sebagai 'Pedang Ilahi', pedang ajaib yang dapat dengan bebas berkontraksi dan mengembang, juga dapat melompati ruang untuk menyerang. Itu dapat menembus pertahananmu karena ia juga memiliki kemampuan menembus seperti 'Api Dewa'. "

Hajime telah direduksi menjadi penampilan tragis yang jelas dalam sekejap. Ehitorujue sedang menjelaskan kepada Hajime yang bernafas dengan kasar sementara tangannya membelai di sepanjang pedang ilahi.

Ekspresi tenang itu mengungkapkan bagaimana taring Hajime tidak bisa menghubunginya sama sekali.

Sebaliknya Hajime semuanya compang-camping. Mantel hitamnya yang ditenun dengan serat logam yang lebih kuat dari bahkan baju besi telah menjadi seperti kain bekas, pakaian di bawahnya sangat basah karena menyerap darah. Kulitnya yang terlihat dari celah pakaian yang robek diwarnai merah cerah, rambut putihnya terutama dibasahi dengan warna darah dari darah segar yang keluar dari kepalanya, hanya melihat Hajime yang sekarang terasa menyakitkan. Darah yang mengalir di kepalanya seperti air mata darah.

Bahkan pertarungan yang sama ketika keduanya bertarung dalam pertarungan sumber daya dengan mudah dimiringkan sepenuhnya ke hati Ehito ketika ia menggunakan zaman sihir dewa secara berurutan. Banyak artefak yang merupakan sifat terbesar dari spesialisasi Hajime juga sebagian besar dihancurkan.

Apa yang tersisa dengan Hajime adalah Donner & Schlag, Cross Velts, dan kemudian Grim Reaper …

"Hmm, itu sudah sedikit menyusahkan sekarang."

Ehito mengayunkan pedang ilahi. Bahkan bayangan setelahnya bisa dilihat dari gerakan tangannya. Bahkan tidak jelas apakah dia mengayunkan pedang sihir atau tidak. Tapi, hasilnya jelas. Cross Velts dan Grim Reaper yang telah berkurang hingga hampir lima puluh mesin berubah menjadi potongan-potongan kecil sebelum meledak di mana-mana.

"…"

Yang tersisa hanyalah tiga Cross Velts yang dikendalikan langsung oleh Hajime. Pasukan raja iblis telah sepenuhnya dimusnahkan, bahkan salib yang melambangkan kematian jatuh di tanah. Sekarang Hajime hanya memiliki terutama granat dari berbagai jenis. Kemungkinan besar Ehitorujue sengaja bertujuan untuk menghancurkan artefak untuk memberikan keputusasaan Hajime.

"Yah, hal seperti itu tidak masalah. Daripada itu, saya berbicara tentang setan dan setengah manusia. Kamu pikir mereka itu apa? ”

Bahkan tanpa menunjukkan perhatian khusus tentang beberapa ratus artefak yang telah ia potong seketika, Ehitorujue mengulangi pertanyaannya sebelumnya. Tampaknya pembicaraan tentang Ehitorujue masih belum berakhir. Dia bermain-main dengan pedang ilahi sambil menatap Hajime yang tampak seperti dia bisa jatuh kapan saja dengan senyum lebar yang menjijikkan.

"… Bukankah mereka … haa haa … penduduk asli di sini."

Hajime menjawab pertanyaan itu untuk pulih walau sedikit di pembukaan kedua ini dia diberikan.

"Tidak, kamu salah. Penduduk asli dunia ini hanya 'manusia'. Entah iblis atau setengah manusia, mereka adalah anak-anak tidak sah yang diciptakan oleh teknologi sihirku. ”

"… Jadi kamu bahkan, ya, mensintesis?"

“Fufu, kamu memiliki pemahaman yang cepat. Iblis dan setengah manusia adalah organisme sintetik yang diciptakan oleh kombinasi monster dan manusia. Mereka adalah ciptaan asli saya. "

‘Mengapa kamu melakukan hal seperti itu?’ Mungkin Ehitorujue menduga bahwa pertanyaan Hajime yang tidak diminta, lidahnya bergerak dengan lancar untuk menjawab.

“Tidak peduli berapa banyak saya mencoba untuk menyuburkan jiwa saya menggunakan iman dan teknik rahasia, tidak peduli berapa banyak pemulihan dan perbaikan yang saya coba pada tubuh, beberapa milenium yang panjang membawa tubuh saya ke batasnya. Secara alami, saya mencari tubuh baru tetapi … tidak ada daging yang bisa menerima jiwa dewa. "

"Jika tidak ada, maka buat saja … ya?"

“Sangat membantu kamu memiliki pemahaman yang cepat. Iblis memiliki bakat tinggi dengan faktor sihir, dan setengah manusia memiliki fisik yang kuat, mereka masing-masing datang dari saya menggabungkan manusia dengan organisme primitif yang memiliki aspek-aspek penting tersebut. Saya juga mencoba menciptakan orang-orang seperti naga dengan menggabungkan kedua aspek itu tetapi… .mereka gagal. Mereka hanya bisa digunakan untuk hiburan sampingan, seperti bagaimana ras terkuat dianiaya. ”

Berapa banyak pengorbanan yang muncul selama percobaan itu? Bahkan Hajime tidak bisa tidak bersimpati dengan orang-orang di masa lalu. Untuk tidak mengatakan apa-apa tentang fakta bahwa alasan penganiayaan terhadap Tio dan yang lainnya hanyalah orang ini yang melampiaskan amarahnya, mengetahui hal itu menyebabkan niat membunuh Hajime semakin meningkat.

“Dalam proses itu, aku juga menciptakan monster dan rasul yang ada saat ini, tetapi karena beberapa faktor yang tidak diketahui, pada akhirnya aku tidak bisa mendapatkan tubuh yang mungkin bisa menjadi Vesselku. Meskipun beberapa bisa bertahan sampai tingkat tertentu, mereka akan segera hancur sendiri. "

"… Jadi Kawasan Suci … adalah karena kamu tidak punya Vessel"

"Fufu. Benar. Tempat ini agar aku bisa terus eksis hanya sebagai jiwa dan juga tempat dimana aku bisa menggunakan kekuatanku. Di sini saya menikmati permainan sambil menunggu. Sangat jarang ada orang dengan bakat seperti Aruvheit atau 'pembebas' yang dilahirkan. "

Berdasarkan kebenaran bahwa Hajime diberitahu, tampaknya orang-orang yang disebut sebagai 'leluhur sejati' seperti Yue atau Syiah adalah orang-orang yang lebih akurat. Meskipun bahkan orang-orang dengan bakat di masa lalu seperti pembebas tidak cukup sebagai kapal Ehitorujue.

Mata Hajime menyipit dengan tenang.

"Seperti, itu … haa haa, tiga ratus tahun yang lalu … akhirnya kau menemukannya, ya"

"Iya nih. Pada saat itu hati saya menari untuk pertama kalinya setelah beberapa ratus tahun. Meskipun, Vesselku segera disembunyikan setelah itu … meskipun pada waktu itu aku bahkan secara pribadi memberinya gelar sebagai 'miko' secara khusus. Anda tahu, pada waktu itu saya didorong oleh amarah bahwa saya bahkan menghancurkan beberapa negara tanpa sengaja saat menghancurkan negara vampir. Setelah itu saya memikirkan kemungkinan miko lain dilahirkan sekali lagi sebelum akhirnya saya bisa tenang. ”

Ehitorujue menyapu pedang tuhannya. Halo di punggungnya dan lingkaran cahaya di kejauhan yang terlihat di atas takhta mulai bersinar cemerlang.

“Let me say my thanks once more, irregular. You discovered my vessel and made me enjoyed myself until this much, you have truly done a great service. As the prize, I’ll consign you to oblivion personally by my hand.”

Platinum magic power painted over everything.

Hajime too also emitted his crimson magic power, he readied Donner-Schlag and lined up the three Cross Velts behind him.

A beat passed.

The figure of Ehitorujue disappeared.

Hajime fired the readied Donner & Schlag as they were. The launched flashes passed through the last Orestes that was placed in front of the gun muzzles and reappeared behind him.

Sure enough, there was Ehitorujue there.

However, without any hurry Ehitorujue surprisingly cut apart the bullets that came flying from Orestes with his divine sword.

Although Yue was a prodigy in magic but her close quarter combat ability was lower than average. Based on Ehitorujue’s feat just now, it seemed that because of the possession the body’s physical ability and battle skill were increased up like a joke.

The penetrating divine sword stretched toward the frowning Hajime. The sword flash that was impossible to defend against was somehow evaded by Hajime bending backward. At the same time the Cross Velts fired burst bullets wildly.

Those bullets were shot down by the light stars fired from the halo. The spreading ripples of impact bloomed everywhere between Hajime and Ehitorujue.

“There is nothing to feel surprised about. This is my original sword art that I learned for killing time. The twin large swords art of the apostle is also based on my swordsmanship. I can do not only magic you know?”

“Chih, so what.”

“Fufu-. At first, I put distance and stole the artifacts of you who were desperately struggling like plucking off your arms and legs. Next is close quarter combat, that’s how it is. There is no hope for you no matter what you try, I’ll teach that to you personally. How are you feeling getting overwhelmed with one hand by someone who was talking leisurely about the past? Hmm?”

Saying that Ehitorujue cut apart the shockwaves themselves and charged forward.

Hajime rapid fired Donner & Schlag. The bullets that he used were Living Bullet. Furthermore they were coated with sealing stone.

But, at the next moment Ehitorujue’s figure vanished as expected. And then, he appeared instantly at Hajime’s side.

Hajime who foreseen that used the recoil of his artificial arm to throw away his body. Immediately following that, the bullets that Hajime fired before this flew out from the space around Ehitorujue. Hajime understood that Ehitorujue would teleport using Heaven Existence so he made use of Orestes to teleport the bullets.

A storm of flashes that aimed at the moment Ehitorujue teleported. No matter even if it was Ehitorujue, it seemed that he would get drilled through by the bullets before he could teleport once more.

However, the moment the bullets impacted, the arm of Ehitorujue that was holding the divine sword vanished. No, that arm was moving so fast that it looked like it vanished. The sword moved flexibly like a whip, and sword lines rushed around Ehitorujue as though a barrier was layered surrounding him.

As the result, the bullets were wrecked into pieces. The sword was swung with a speed that even the Living Bullets’ trajectory correction couldn’t follow. Even the perception skill that Hajime had could only perceive the sword slightly as a streak of light. It was a terrifying speed.

“To be able to read my movement in this short time…that prediction came from experience rather than sense I guess. That’s really something. But, in front of my ‘God Speed’ that is still too slow.”

God Speed――it was the magic that Kaori used limitedly. But Ehitorujue used it with more refinement. It was beyond the pale that he was able to cut apart twenty shots of electromagnetically accelerated bullets that approached from a meter. Before this when he instantly cut apart several hundred Cross Velts and Grim Reapers was surely also because his sword attacks that were done within shortened time.

“Now then, how many artifacts you have left? Or else have you used up all of your plans? If not then you can use them all. I’ll crush everything you have and dye your brave face with despair!”

Ehitorujue used Heaven Existence.

Instantly, he appeared right in front of Hajime’s face.

“Kuh”

The sword flashes that were swung while Hajime groaned were ten times. All of those were evaded by Hajime who mostly relied only on his instinct. But, his dodging couldn’t be called as perfect with how he was unable to defend, he was grazed, or even thinly sliced all over his body.

The recoil of Hajime’s artificial hand forcefully threw away his body to an angle that was normally impossible. Hajime rotated like spinning wheel while desperately taking distance, during that time he randomly scattered a lot of grenades from inside ‘Treasure Warehouse II’.

Many of the grenades were cut apart by the lengthening divine sword, and destroyed by the meteors from the halo. The grenades that weren’t even allowed to explode were scattered as sparkling particles and fell on the ground.

Ehitorujue laughed disgustingly to that useless effort of Hajime who couldn’t even buy time while teleporting consecutively. He appeared and then vanished, appeared and then vanished. Just like an illusion. It was like he was being omnipresence around Hajime.

And then the divine sword that reached regardless of distance carved multiple layers in the air. Although Hajime avoided lethal wound each time that happened, wounds were mass produced with certainty on his body. He also counterattacked with the combination of Donner & Schlag, Orestes, and Cross Velts, but in front of the elusive Heaven Existence and God Speed, Hajime was unable to inflict even one telling blow.

The second and third layer of the halos and the halo behind Ehitorujue were dyeing the white space with platinum light by endlessly firing meteor shower. However naturally those meteors were automatically avoiding Ehitorujue himself and rushed only Hajime.

Hajime was clenching his teeth while shooting back, he was staving off the storm of death sometimes with grenade, sometimes with Cross Velt, and sometimes with Orestes. Amidst that he was trying to somehow arrest Ehitorujue’s movement but…

He couldn’t reach.

Hajime was being overwhelmed even in close quarter combat just like Ehitorujue planned. Each time he was attacked, blood splashed while he was being rapidly cornered, just like a chess match.

"Apa yang salah? Won’t you use your trump card(godslaying)? If you use it while praying, perhaps you will be lucky and reach this body you know?”

“Shu, shut uup-!”

Hajime was already holding out only by his guts. Even the vocabulary of the words that he returned to Ehitorujue’s provocation was poor. Perhaps because Hajime was bleeding out too much, or perhaps because of the limit break that he continued to use, Hajime’s eyes were beginning to strangely get out of focus and looked blank.

"Hmm. You don’t look like you will take out a new artifact, your body is also on the verge of breaking apart…are you waiting for a favorable opportunity?”

Ehitorujue snapped his fingers. Lightning divine spear was flying out from empty air.

Its target was naturally the heavily wounded Hajime. Even now it felt like his consciousness would fly away, his body felt like it would crumble down anytime. Even so, he still somehow avoided a direct hit, really what an astonishing survival instinct.

But, even his resistance only went that far.

The lightning divine spears that fired rapidly destroyed the last Cross Velts and Orestes altogether, on the same occasion the lightning the spears contained were also liberated nearby Hajime.

“GUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-“

Terrific impact and thunderous sound, and then lightning hit Hajime. Hajime screamed and then fell on the ground with a smoking body.

Hajime bounced several times on the chalk white ground before collapsing face down. Then blood dripped out. Hajime’s tragic appearance that had been chopped up, beaten many times, and also grilled thoroughly, just from a glance he already looked like a corpse. It was hard to judge him as alive.

Ehitorujue descended soundlessly in front of Hajime. Looking at Hajime who was licking the ground in an unsightly state, while wondering if it was the end with this, Ehitorujue lifted up his divine sword in order to deal the finishing blow with an expression like a child whose toy was taken away.

But, ahead of his gaze Hajime’s finger twitched.

“Hou”

Ehitorujue reflexively leaked out an admiring voice. Even during that time Hajime’s body was moving and his body was rising up while dripping blood was dirtying the chalk white ground.

“Even with the majesty of god engraved to your flesh and bones, you are still going to stand up?”

Ehitorujue’s words were replied by Hajime with intermittent words that sounded like they were going to die out anytime along with his heartbeat.

“I’ll, keep…saying it. You are…not a, god. Rather, even, compared…to the ‘human’ fighting on the surface right now…you’re weak.”

“What are you basing on saying that? And with that heavily wounded appearance at that. Even though not even a single one of your power reach me.”

Ehitorujue made an exasperated expression, wondering if Hajime would still bluffing even after reaching this point of time.

“…Indeed, your strength, is astonishing. …Since I, got out, of the abyss, I have…never, felt death…this close”

“Hmph, if you understand――”

“But, that’s all.”

Hajime cut off Ehitorujue’s words. The focus of his eyes was disappearing. However, anyone would understand if they looked from close by. Far inside the wavering eyes, a flame that would never be snuffed out was residing there. As though to display that, strength was filling Hajime’s words little by little.

“Inside you, there is no…will to overwhelm others. That’s why, no matter how much…strength, that you show me, my heart…won’t waver. ――It’s like you are not scary.”

“…Are you making excuse?”

Ehitorujue talked provocatively, however, this times it was Hajime who was talking with a distant look. About the strong people that he met, or he knew in this world.

“I, know. …even though she is the weakest race, yet with a single feeling…that fellow stepped into a deadly no man’s land.”

Her face looked like she was going to cry, even so ‘to be together’, just for that little wish that rabbit ear girl kept running desperately

“Even though…despair, was thrust before her eyes…she just wouldn’t break, a fellow that continued to believe in hope.”

With a single feeling, even when no one believed other than her, she didn’t abandon hope. An earnest girl who in the end even chose to change her body to get close to him.

“For the sake of her comrade…in order to protect…a fellow that can use her body as a shield.”

Just how many times had he been protected by her? Even though usually she would screw around, but when push came to shove she would risk her life more than anyone, a wise woman with deep emotion.

“Even at the verge of death…a fellow that can think of her best friend, as the most.”

Surely, she was the most ‘girlish’ among his comrades. Despite so, she would take up weapon for the sake of someone, even many times at the verge of death, the one who she would think at the end would always be her best friend, it would always be somebody else. A kind girl who was too kind.

“Even when, the world changed…even when her own naivety was thrust before her, that fellow didn’t cast away her own dignity.”

Hesitating, scared, distressed, hurt, even so she didn’t stop being what she determined as herself. The teacher who admonished Hajime who only kept pushing on so he would stop and looked back.

“Even though she is just a little girl without any strength, that girl can risk her life in order to stop her idiot father.”

The time they spent together didn’t even reach a month. She was also just a four-year-old little girl. Despite so, she worried for her injured mother, she personally went to meet the father who informed her of their parting and spoke out, and in the end, that child could convey her feeling without taking even a step back against her rampaging father.

Lalu,

“…And then, even with her body taken, still, that fellow is continuing to fight.”

He believed. Yes, he believed. At her strength.

Hajime’s gaze, the gaze of someone who had been overwhelmed until he couldn’t move even a single finger and was almost died, pierced Ehitorujue.

The person whom that gaze was directed at didn’t notice himself. Of how the shining flame deep inside those eyes that were peaceful like a calm water surface yet dark like the abyss, was overpowering himself to shrink away with a step back.

“Even the monsters in the abyss emitted overwhelming killing intent and survival instinct. But, there is nothing in you. You are empty. Surely, since the time the things you have piled up together with your comrades were destroyed, you have been empty.”

Hajime stood up completely. In his hands, Donner & Schlag were clutched tightly.

“Your words were loud and clear. In short, you don’t learn anything since the past, you cannot even endure loneliness, however you are scared to even die…the point is that you are just a spoiled brat right?”

The meaning of “enough already” that Ehitorujue’s last comrade spoke was surely, because he believed that even if they let go of the hand of the people they guided in this world, it was enough, they would still be able to live prosperously.

That person was surely thinking of their destroyed home world, that existences like them who had touched the truth weren’t needed anymore, and then, seeing the activity of this world, surely that person thought that there was nothing left that he needed to teach to the people of this world.

Not noticing that feeling, unable to even sympathize, not learning anything from the past, scared of the fear of death despite being able to interfere with truth, and then unable to endure the loneliness, he went into a rampage. In the end, the existence named Ehitorujue was still ‘childish’ no matter how long he had been alive.

“…Fuh, is this a scheme to make my mind waver with that kind of provocation? After all it will be the end if your trump card fails to reach me. What a moving endeavor. But, at this rate your ‘godslaying’ cannot possibly work.”

That was why, he didn’t understand the meaning of what Hajime was talking about. Exactly the same like how he didn’t understand the meaning of the words of his comrade in the far past.

Hajime slowly drew back one of his feet and took his stance. Even though he was already at the death’s door, a supreme will was overflowing from that body.

“Perhaps.”

A calm word of affirmation.

But, right after that…

“That’s only if I am still like before yeah-!”

Immense power burst out from Hajime. It was incomparable with his ‘Supreme Break’ until now. A torrent of power that was equal with several times his former power whirled with Hajime at the center. It was just like a tornado of level F5. The crimson color got deeper into a deep crimson, the space was rumbling as though it was screaming.

“What the-“

Hajime who he thought to be almost died just now suddenly exploded out with power so great at this point of time, for the first time Ehitorujue’s calm expression crumbled. That was undoubtedly an expression of shock.

Giving that expression a glance, Hajime stepped forward. No, his figure was erased.

Where he appeared was right in front of Ehitorujue’s face. Ehitorujue gazed in astonishment.

Just by being fast wouldn’t be able to surpass Ehitorujue’s perception. No matter how much Hajime was strengthened, it would still be impossible by nature. But, even so there were many ways to fight. Just who decided that an instant space teleportation was the technique exclusive for god?

“Haah!!”

“Nuu!?”

The hand of Hajime that was holding Donner softly shifted the hand of Ehitorujue that was stabbing toward Hajime. At the same time, the bullet that flew out from Schlag ricocheted on the ground and aimed at Ehitorujue’s heart.

Naturally, Ehitorujue escaped with Heaven Existence. Instantly, a raging killing intent blew from behind him.

“-!? You bastard, as expected, you use Heaven Existence!?”

“Who knows, I wonder about that?”

Two gunshots resounded. However, there were twenty streaks of flashes that attacked Ehito violently. Half of them were slashed by the divine sword, but he then judged that he wouldn’t be able to deal with the rest of Hajime’s acrobatics rapid shooting that Ehitorujue escaped using further space teleportation.

But, at his next teleportation Ehitorujue saw it. Before his eyes one floating bullet vanished quietly, at the next instant, Hajime appeared at that bullet’s former spot. Yes, it was as though the position of Hajime and the bullet was exchanged.

――Special bullet Exise Bullet

This special bullet that was transmuted from combined space-sublimation magic had the ability to exchange the coordinate position of the starting point and each bullet. Bullets so many like the number of stars in the sky had been scattered in this battlefield since the start of the battle until this moment. But, not all the bullets were attacking the enemy. Several bullets among them were scattering to the whole area and floated midair to become Hajime’s teleporting coordinate.

Ehitorujue used his divine sword to intercept Hajime who appeared in front of him.

Namun,

“Mu-“

He struck empty air. The blade passed through a bit in front of Hajime. With a returning strike Ehito attempted to shower Hajime with slashes――but when he noticed, Hajime had already slipped right in front of his face once more.

Hajime rushed at the opening of Ehito’s mind. He read Ehito’s breathing and made his timing and distance to miss. Hajime also intentionally disturbed his presence to make it difficult for Ehito to perceive his state. He used taijutsu to give an illusion to Ehito’s sense of distance. The more sensitive the senses of the opponent, the more these techniques could be used to throw the opponent’s perception out of whack. Furthermore,

――Illusion projection artifact ‘Novum Idola’

This artifact layered shadow on the user, it strangely shifted the user’s position and enveloped the image-presence-magic power-etc of the user, at the same time it interfered with the opponent’s perception and made them misrecognized the camouflage and the truth. Hajime’s figure and presence that blurred in two or three layers, combined with Hajime’s own taijutsu realized a close quarter combat that was like an illusion.

“You bastard-, after this far, you still show new cards――”

Ehitorujue’s discarded voice was cut off. Seeing this person who had become that ragged, showered in words of humiliation, and made to snuggle really close to death, yet he was still preserving his cards until this time, as expected it was beyond the imagination of even god. For example even if someone actually was still hiding some plan inside their heart, but in a situation where it wasn’t strange that they could die anytime, the courage needed not to expose their hidden hand was already something that surpassed the realm of human.

Ehitorujue who felt a slight shudder going through his back unleashed attacks that were like surging wave.

“OOOOOOOOOOO-!!”

Hajime’s war cry reverberated, at the same time a crimson flash exploded like a solar flare.

Even when Ehitorujue swung his divine sword and fired meteor shower from his halos, his disarrayed perception couldn’t capture Hajime. Hajime’s attack was also becoming closer and closer to hitting before he noticed, that fact was already a godly feat that surpassed superhuman feat――no, perhaps it was more fitting for Hajime for this to be called as a demonic feat.

Hajime bared his fang using everything that he had analyzed and pounded into his body from the battle until now!

Ehitorujue teleported consecutively once more. However, Hajime who was starting to grasp his teleporting habit rapidly approached within zero comma several seconds. Hajime wasn’t using only the speed of the coordinate exchange and his discernment. His raw speed that was continuing to increase second by second was also progressively entering the realm of god speed.

Even so, the sword flashes of Ehitorujue was impossible to defend against, therefore he possessed overwhelming advantage against Hajime in close quarter combat, was how it was supposed to be.

*GAKIN-*

“Wha-!?”

This time it was Ehitorujue who leaked out a shocked voice along with the resounding hard sound.

Itu wajar. The divine sword that should pass through everything except Hajime was blocked by Schlag after all.

With no delay the right Donner aimed at Ehitorujue. The fired crimson flash was evaded by Ehitorujue using teleportation by a hairbreadth with shocked expression pasted still on his face.

“Just, what in the world――”

“It’s only transmutation.”

Hajime answered concisely without telling everything.

The cause that blocked the penetrating ability of the divine sword came from the transmutation that was done on Schlag.

――Soul magic neutralization artifact ‘Delischanors’

If the attack could pass through everything except the target using soul magic, then he only needed to enchant Schlag using ‘Soul Reproduction’ to create a pseudo soul in it. Originally this was a ‘decoy’ artifact that was produced from the assumption that the ‘Divine Statement’ which forced a command on the selected soul in subconscious level couldn’t be defended using Miledy’s artifact, but it was also sufficient to misalign the target of the divine sword.

And then, the decoys that were applied with Delischanors weren’t just Donner & Schlag.

Ehitorujue swung the divine sword at the stepping forward Hajime, which was blocked by the muzzle of Schlag. At the same time,

*DOPAN-!!*

A single gunshot. The flying bullet knocked back the divine sword that should be in a state where its penetrating ability was activated. Yes, what was enchanted with Delischanors wasn’t just Schlag. The bullets were also rejecting the penetration ability!

“Irregular-“

“You talk too much, small fry.”

The impact from the divine sword getting knocked back forcefully made Ehito’s posture to form a one-handed banzai, Ehitorujue who was making a humiliated expression fired meteors from his halo.

But, as though knowing that move ahead, Cross Velts and Donner’s bullet barrage repelled them. Hajime smoothly closed the distance and launched a fierce round kick. That attack, finally, run into the solar plexus of the god that Hajime had no hope to touch before! The kick that had ‘Strong Leg’ and ‘Impact Conversion’ applied to it was extremely intense. Ehitorujue’s body bent forward into ‘>’ shape and he was blown away.

“Kuh”

Hajime pursued, but as expected Ehitorujue didn’t intend to allow him going that far and used Heaven Existence to make his escape.

Yes, he escaped. Different from all his evasion until now from the thinking that it was inexcusable for god’s body to be touched, now he was purely escaping. Of course, Ehitorujue had automatic regeneration. Even so, that he escaped was because his heart was shaken. It was an instinctual action.

Because of that, the humiliation that was welling up in his chest was great. As though to display that, the expression of Ehitorujue distorted grandly.

“You-, your new artifact, that power-. You bastard, you didn’t fight me at full strength!”

“Oi oi, what kind of gullible fellow would believe his enemy’s words. Of course, that was obviously a lie.”

While unfolding an offense and defense against Hajime who was saying such thing boldly, Ehitorujue suddenly noticed. That Hajime’s tone didn’t even sound pained at all and flowed smoothly. That his wounds from being tormented thoroughly had been mostly healed.

What was the reason that Hajime was healed? The reason was the same with how his strength was increased even after activating ‘Supreme Break’ already.

It finally melted, the capsule inside his stomach. The capsule filled with god water and cheatmate that Hajime had drunk beforehand.

Ehitorujue didn’t know about that, but he conjectured that it was impossible for such rapid healing to happen except by god water and he raised an angry voice.

“What you said about the god water being the last was also a lie-“

“It was a really delicious water that is worthy to be called god water you know?”

Hajime spoke indifferently. Toward such Hajime, Ehitorujue took distance without fussing over close quarter combat where he was about to launch space blasting and lightning divine spear. The humiliation of being fooled was oozing out from that expression.

As though to promote that displeasure further, Hajime constantly closed the distance smoothly not letting Ehito got away.

While the divine sword and Schlag were locked with each other, Ehitorujue asked from very close range.

“Why, only now.”

“Naturally, in order to obtain certainty. I’m not underestimating your strength.”

There was only one chance for the ‘godslaying’. Hajime didn’t understand what kind of strength Ehitorujue who had perfectly seized Yue’s body possessed, because of that it was necessary to make Ehito showed out his hands that Hajime hadn’t seen before in order to use that one chance with certainty. Ehitorujue intended to play around with Hajime, but Hajime was also doing the same thing albeit for a different reason.

The strength of Ehitorujue that surpassed the imagination was to the degree that made Hajime felt the scythe of the death god, but by paying compensation of pain and many of his artifacts, somehow Hajime was able to confirm the battle strength and hands that Ehitorujue possessed to a certain degree, also, he became able to grasp the ‘habit’ of Ehitorujue.

Ehitorujue regained his footing from the shock and his expression suddenly changed into looking amused. And then, he instantly invoked a large scale space blasting that didn’t even spare himself from being dragged into it.

The space creaked and the meteor shower that was sweeping over all around was popping off. Among them, Hajime whose expression distorted was also included inside. It seemed that he endured using ‘Vajra’ that had its output increased, but he bore a damage that didn’t look light. Hajime vomited out blood while coughing.

But, Hajime immediately rallied himself and detected Ehitorujue. Ehitorujue had returned once more to his throne where three layers of halos were behind his back. It seemed that he was injured by his own damage but he immediately recovered using ‘Automatic Regeneration’.

“Then, whether you are really not misunderstanding me or not, the might of this true god will ascertain that!”

Right after that, light exploded. The halos were releasing light so intense to the degree that would make anyone hallucinated that. And then, Each halo were beginning to rotate while shining brilliantly.

Even during that time, Hajime was approaching while slipping through the meteor shower that had been doubled in intensity, right after that, a very thick beam of light was fired from the halos. If anyone saw it, then they would think that it was just like the ‘Heaven Might’ that Kouki unleashed. Although, the power and scale of this one from Ehito were in a different league.

“This cannot be avoided you know, irregular! This light of ruin will continue to chase after you forever until you die!”

In contrast with Ehitorujue who was raising a loud voice, Hajime fiercely bared his fang and answered.

“Then, I’ll breakthrough frontally.”

A crimson flash with honed killing intent surged straight ahead.

At the same time, Hajime scattered all the grenades that he had, furthermore a huge assault lance coated with sealing stone was deployed in the front. A mechanical sound was reverberating from that assault lance, the lance was spreading like an umbrella while it was elongating by three stages and it began to rotate at high speed.

――Target dispersal assault lance ‘Lob Regenschirm’

A three-stage assault lance that rotated at high speed with its surface engraved by sealing stone and particular unevenness, that was to say it was a drill.

The target that was touched would be pulverized and dispersed as though being dug out. Hajime floated it in front of him, he used it as a shield while spreading intense ripples in midair, immediately after that, he charged toward the bombardment of ‘True Heaven Might’ along with a fierce impact.

While the coated sealing stone was being broken in the blink of eye, Lob Regenschirm was forcefully scattering the god’s might while leading its master Hajime toward the target’s position. Hajime also used ‘Vajra’, ‘Magic Power Emission’, and ‘Impact Conversion’ as explosive reactive armor and charged through the light of destruction!

“-uaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-!!”

Blood spurted out from the wounds that just got healed due to the after-effect that couldn’t be dispersed, his internal organs, his flesh, his bones were screaming. The crimson aura he was clad with and another red were scattered around him, even so Hajime screamed without stopping his advance. He wouldn’t stand still even for an instant! Overwhelm back the overwhelming torrent! Crush the absurdity with even more absurdity! Just like how he came this far until now, tear apart all the obstacles-!

“You are breaking through even this-“

Ehitorujue saw Hajime who was advancing inside the Heaven Might he unleashed and got stabbed with that eye glint that was filled to the brim with tenacious determination and tremendous killing intent――and he prepared to run away once more.

He was going to withdraw from that spot using Heaven Existence. He was taking that action mostly subconsciously.

But, Hajime didn’t allow him to do such thing.

The whole area at the surrounding was enveloped by explosive sound. It was the grenades that Hajime scattered. The spaces at the center where the explosions happened were distorting like jelly, shockwaves were blowing violently due to the side effect of the spaces trying to return to normal.

The cause of this was the space explosion grenade that distorted the space and generated shockwave. Originally it was something that made use of space to attack the enemy using shockwave, but right now it was displaying a different effect.

That was the destabilization of space.

Whether the direct teleportation magic ‘Heaven Existence’ that didn’t use exact and delicate gate could be used in this place or not…

“――tsk. Another artifact again-“

It seemed Ehitorujue himself understood well the answer. At the very least it was something dangerous to the degree that made him spontaneously hesitating to activate the magic. And then, he was also unintentionally swearing from witnessing new artifacts appearing one after another.

Using that opportunity, Hajime finally broke through the True Heaven Might. The Lob Regenschirm was smashed up, Hajime himself was also worn out, but that terrifyingly sharply gleaming eyes pierced Ehitorujue that was right nearby.

Ehitorujue immediately changed plan from escaping to intercepting. He was already materializing divine sword in one hand and swung it with God Speed. The sword lines that were drawn within an instant easily surpassed a hundred. He was seriously serious. This was the full strength sword play of Ehitorujue.

It didn’t matter that his perception was shifted or whatever, that was irrelevant if he was just filling the space to the brim with sword slashes. Therefore, even Hajime appeared unable to react against that, without even any time to put a defense all the sword flashes passed through that body. There wasn’t even any resistance that could be felt from the sword cutting through flesh.

At the same time, the Hajime that should be cut dispersed lightly, from its shadow Hajime leaped out.

“Impossible-. Something that only has small effect of shifting perception is――”

“Just who said that such thing is the effect huh?”

Ehitorujue’s surprised voice was easily responded by Hajime. Illusion projection artifact ‘Novum Idola’ fundamentally only had the effect of derailing the perception. But, nobody was saying that was its whole ability or anything. Even if, that was the only ability it showed even when in a critical time.

The corner of Ehitorujue’s sight caught a bullet that was transparent like a crystal floating there.

――Illusion projection assistance artifact ‘Vision Bullet’

Combined with ‘Novum Idola’, an artifact that completely projected Hajime’s illusion was put in the core of this bullet. The moment Hajime broke through the True Heaven Might, he predicted that a severe interception attack would be waiting for him, so Hajime fired the Vision Bullet to the front while he himself drew back from Ehito’s sword range.

Ehitorujue who had just finished swinging his god sword, in addition to the shock, became slow in reacting, with an intense step Hajime threw away Schlag and he turned his artificial palm toward Ehito. Right after that, the gimmick in the palm worked and the five fingers there greatly elongated. Now it looked just like a skeleton hand of a giant.

Hajime struck with that expanding mechanical palm toward Ehitorujue. And then, in a flash the five fingers curled and restrained Ehitorujue’s body, then Hajime hurled himself forward which carried them through the halos immediately.

“aAAAAAAAAAAAAA-!!”

Hajime roared and then the gimmick of the artificial hand activated which let out many spikes that pierced Ehitorujue’s body like iron maiden, furthermore Hajime activated a space fixation that was limited to inside his palm and completely restrained Ehito.

Ehitorujue immediately attempted to use magic, but tremendous magic power radiation came out from the artificial hand that was glued close to his body――the magic power cannon ‘Glanzen’ loaded inside the artificial arm performed bombardment of pure magic power that stirred up the magic power inside Ehito’s body, due to that Ehito was unable to invoke magic instantly. Furthermore, Ehitorujue was able to swing his divine sword just by reversing his wrist, but that too was beyond his power due to the anchor and steel thread flying out from the artificial arm which bound his body and operated vibration pulverization.

“Raah!!”

“-!?”

Like that, at the end of dense offense and defense that happened for less than a second, Hajime succeeded in throwing down Ehitorujue on the ground.

The gazes of Ehitorujue who was held down on the ground and Hajime who was straddling him crossed each other. At the same time, along with a *kacha* sound, something hard was pushed on Ehitorujue’s heart from the opening of the five fingers.

It was the gun muzzle of Donner.

“This is check. The ‘godslaying’ that was born at the end of drowning in alcohol, taste it to your heart’s content.”

“Wa-――”

Instantly,

*DOPAN-*

A single gunshot.

Ehitorujue’s body twitched up.

What was fired was naturally the godlsaying bullet that picked only the god to destroy. The ‘Short Sword of Divine Crossing’ where the liberators’ tenacity resided was condensed, processed, and then remanufactured into a bullet.

Finally the trump card pierced through Ehitorujue.

Behind the halos were crumbling down as though they were weathering down into dust.

Silence filled the white space.

The closed eyelids of Yue quivered along with her long eyelashes. And then, on the eyes that slowly opened, the worn-out figure of Hajime was reflected…

“How unfortunate, irregular.”

“――”

Right after that, Hajime’s left arm was pulverized into very small pieces, and his body was spraying blood while getting blown away.
