Chapter 53

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Aaa… Aaaaaa….”

The evil god tumbled down right here and there. 

Well, that’s to be expected. You can even defeat Alaine if you pierced that many magic swords into her. 

“Alaine, are you alright?”

“Yeah. I’m fine.”

Alaine nodded at my question. Her face was expressionless as usual. 

……… Huh? It seems Alaine is a little bit shaken…? She looks a little bit shaken… Just a little bit but… No. Maybe it was just my imagination. 

“So? Where are we going next?”

“Hm, right… The evil god is a miss too. I guess the ancient historic ruin is the best possible answer?”

“…….. Hm. I think so too.”

Alaine listened to my words and then she sent a fleeting glance toward the evil god. 

…….Hm? What is it? Ah, well. 

“Mmmhhh…”

I straightened my back. 

In the end, this place is a miss too. My disappointment is immeasurable. 

Then suddenly, Camilla entered my line of vision.

“Oh, right. I don’t have any use for you anymore.”

I sent a magic sword flying and pierced Camilla’s heart with it. Magic words only worked on the living. Since Camilla was already dead, his body slowly fell down to the ground. 

“Ah, you guys too. 『You can move』.”

I told First Prince Aquilane and his entourage. I had been stopping their movement since Camilla appeared. 

Thud.

They all stumbled down onto the ground. Their whole body was shaking and they were unable to let a single word out. 

“Tha-That…..”

In the midst of it all, First Prince Aquilane slowly raised his right arm, pointing toward something.

“Hm?”

He was pointing at something behind me. Toward the place where the dead evil god was. 

“Huh?”

I turned around to see what was happening.

“What?”

A voice. 

A voice escaped from my mouth. 

What is this? I don’t get it.

The evil god’s body turned into a stone. That petrified body was gradually….. Slowly…. Moving. 

But how can that thing still move despite already being turned into stone? 

While I just stared at it, dumbfoundedly, the petrified body pieces kept on squirming, crawling and reorganizing their body back. 

Vssssh…. Vssshhh…. 

…….Ouch.

Suddenly, I felt a pang of headache running through my head. 

That stone…. That stone statue….

After hearing an unknown voice from somewhere, my field of vision was painted in black.
