Chapter 72

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

The magic power continued to swell up. 

“….Huh? Isn’t this a bit dangerous?”

“……!! Don’t let your guard down!”

My face stiffened at the magic power that continued to swell up endlessly. Alaine’s voice was also dyed in wariness. 

One magic sword came in contact with one of the stone shards and as if in response to that, the other 8 stone shards floated in the air as the magic power continued to swell. The shape of the stone shards then started to change. 

“….. Magic sword?”

The stone shards that were overflowing with magic power more than ever, transformed into a magic sword. Those magic swords were stronger than mine and even stronger than that evil god’s. Then….

It went into me. 

The magic swords became particles of light and went into me. 

“Huh…..?”

Everything was happening too suddenly, so abruptly that I could only let out a dumbfounded voice. But, I didn’t have the privilege to remain calm. 

“Ouch-?!”

I held my head because of the sudden headache. A sharp, stinging pain. Like something was flowing inside me. Those 9 stone shards weren’t the only thing that went inside me. The numerous stone shards that the evil god used to block Alaine’s attack also went inside me. 

“Argh….?!”

The headache became worse. As if to wash off my existence, numerous things were flowing in me. 

This is….? This is….!!!!

“……..I’m going to leave the rest…. To you.”

A magic sword was being presented in front of me. I subconsciously accepted that magic sword. The magic sword from that evil god. 

“Argh?!”

The headache, my head, my memory, it finally reached me.

I……. I…………!

“Ah….”

While I was suffering from the headache, Alaine was being swallowed by the evil god. 

“Aaah…..”

And then… I didn’t get to see the end because my vision was then wrapped with blinding light….

　■■■■■

I could see a cave. A cave with an unknown source of light. 

No. Now, I know what’s the source of the light. Right now, there’s nothing I don’t know.

“………….I don’t need it at this point.”

I muttered a few words.

Then my field of vision changed. 

Dark red sky. Big, glaring eyeballs floating in the sky. Numerous bugs crawling on the ground. Short trees that entered my sight. The leaves on that tree were rotten, it looked like disgusting insects crawling around the ripe fruits. 

This place was like hell itself. In the midst of this, I calmly said. 

“Don’t worry. It’s me.”

Now, the key will be unlocked─────
