[Yo”u! Iz not fo yo”u, Gaori wud, be mine!]
He was overflowing with grudge and murderous intent. It was shivering to think that a human could fall this low with ugliness. Would an ordinary man divert his eyes away? They would likely be overcome by feelings of sickness and run away.
However, Hajime didn’t show that kind of reaction towards Hiyama’s. Rather on the contrary, Hajime’s eyes held pitty.
[No matter if I existed or not, the results would have been the same. At the very least, with your nature nothing would have happened even if the world was overturned]*I think, お前が何かを手に入れられる事なん天地がひっくり返ってもねぇよ*
[Iz’s yor fault]
[Don’t place the blames on others. The reason you fell so low was your own fault. Even in Japan and over here, you were always the loser. not “someone else”. it was “yourself”. All you did was criticise everyone else in dissatisfaction while not shouldering anything for yourself. …..you’re a genuine underdog]
[I’lr kill ju! Desinitely, jus you!]
Hiyama became further enraged and insane from Hajime’s words. After Hajime looked at the underdog who continued to lose himself, he noticed something in the distance and looked towards it. What was over in that direction was the vanguard of demons who invaded the Kingdom.
Hajime returned his cold gaze onto Hiyama, then once again threw him up into the air, and with a blow from his artificial arm he hit where Hiyama was falling down according to gravity. Rotational force was applied in with the impact and Hiyama began rotating like a top.
[Let’s test if you can survive or not. Ma~a, it’s probably impossible for you]
Hajime also hammered him with a spinning kick which caused the air to be blown away. Hiyama let out an unpleasant sound and was blown outside of the plaza by the shockwave.
Rather than quickly shooting Hiyama to death, Hajime was unconsciously avoiding his vitals and pummeled him. It wasn’t revenge for dropping him into the abyss, it was revenge for injuring Kaori.
Although he doesn’t know the amount of awareness the actual person in question has, Hajime began to think that just killing him off comfortably wasn’t enough. That was how he thought of the idea of kicking Hiyama into the crowd of demons after just barely keeping him alive.
However, due to dealing with Hiyama, the time he had to kill Eri was shortened. Although Eri didn’t run away, an aurora was shot at Hajime.
[Chi….]
Hajime jumped back while clicking his tongue and used Donner to shoot where the aurora had come from. Three explosions roared out simultaneously, like a dragon climbing up the waterfall of aurora, 3 flashes tore through the sky.
Immediately afterwards, the aurora’s trajectory bent, it nearly baked Kouki but, thanks to Eri they managed to evade somehow. Even for Eri, it would be a bad joke that she didn’t want any part in if kouki was completely wiped out due to friendly fire.
Soon, the aurora calmed down and Freed descended down on his white dragon.
[......That’s enough. Boy with white hair. If you don’t want to lose anymore of your precious compatriots and Kingdom citizens, then settle down]
It appears that Freed was under the misconception that Hajime was fighting for Kouki and them and the Kingdom. If you looked around the surrounding area, you’d notice that demons had already surrounded Ryutaro and them, Shizuku, and aiming at Teio and Aiko.
If Hajime and them seriously fought back, there would be a great deal of collateral damage so they decided to take on hostages instead. Although Hajime doesn’t know that Freed was already severely injured by Yue, Freed realized that and used this as a last resort. It should be noted that the wounds caused by Yue, although far from being completely healed, was healed by the white crow’s inherent magic.
Then, at that time, as if something happened to Kaori, Teio called out loudly to Hajime.
[Master! I’ve somehow fixed it for now! However, any more than this…..will take time….If possible, I’d like to have Yue’s cooperation as well. We can’t leave it as a temporary fix forever!]
Hajime nodded powerfully as he looked behind his shoulder at Teio. The classmates who didn’t understand the circumstances had dubious expressions. However, Freed who also had Age of God’s magic had somehow managed to guess, he looked at Teio’s magic with wide eyes.
[Ho~o, new Age of God’s magic…..by chance is it [Kamiyama’s]? Then it would do you well to tell me of it’s location. If you defy me then y-!?]
The moment that Freed tried to threaten Hajime and them for the location of [Kamiyama] great labyrinth, flames erupted from Donner. Immediately, the turtle-type demon set up a barrier and somehow managed to endure it from being fully destroyed. Freed narrowed his eyes and the surrounding demons closed in more.
[What’s the meaning of this? Are your compatriots lives not important? The more you guys resist, the more the Kingdom’s citizens will suffer as well? Or are you such a fool that you can’t comprehend that? There are 100,000 monsters at the outer wall and on the other side of the gate is 1 million demons. No matter how strong you guys are, continuing to fight while protecting everything is…..]
Hajime who received those words, turned his cold eyes away from freed and towards the outside of the Kingdom---an army of 100,000 was trying to invade into the Kingdom. Then, he silently took out an induction stone which was the size of a fist out of his “Treasure Warehouse”. He activated the induction stone while disregarding Freed’s dubious look and emitted a light which was uncomparable to the ring which manipulated the crossbitts.
Freed who started feeling an intense bad premonition, immediately shot an aurora at Hajime. However, Hajime’s Donner kept them in check, as a result, he was able to activate the device.
----Light of condemnation poured down from the sky.
The pillar of light was the representative which connected the sky and the ground. Whatever it touched, no matter the race, sex, nor social class, everything was mercilessly destroyed and erased. Burning up the atmosphere and tearing through the darkness, as if it was the daylight, the sun’s rays, the targets were mowed down.
Kyuwaa~aaaaaaa!!
The pillar of light as if investigating, let out a roar as it struck down onto the earth, the diameter was around 50 meters. Demons, Majinzokus, and living organisms alike were all evaporated under the light without exception, the shockwave and heatwaves were intensely scattering destruction on it’s surroundings.
When Hajime poured magical power into the induction stone in his hand, the pillar of light moved through and mowed down all the demons and Majinzoku that were fleeing away on foot. Defending was useless. Evading was useless. That is unless you could travel through space like Freed, it would be impossible for organisms which ran on foot to get away. The demons and Majinzoku who were trying to invade at the outer wall saw the pillar of light approaching and they all began to panic, they desperately tried to advance onwards into the Kingdom madly.
The pillar of light zigzagged along and trampled the huge army, everything up until the outer walls were eradicated and disappeared into the void.
All that was left was the smoke which rose from where the Earth was scorched and an enormous crater. As well as deep scars which were carved into the Earth. The Majinzoku who managed to just barely make it on time into the Kingdom(. . . .) weren’t relieved, just, sitting down with their comrades in surprise that their army had completely vanished in an instant.
With that, Freed and Eri who were in front of him, Shizuku and everyone else as well, their thinking stopped and were just spacing out in utter amazement.
[The foolish one is you, you big fool. When exactly did I say that I was allied with the Kingdom and these guys here? Don’t just selfishly categorize me with them. If you want a war, then go right ahead. However, if you get in my way just like now, I’ll erase everything. Ma~a, I’m not free enough to waste my time on 1 million opponents though, this time around I’ll let you off so hurry up with the remaining people and get lost. You’re the commander of the army right?]
It was hard to object after his comrades were obliterated in an instant, Freed’s eyes were dyed in rage and hatred. However, even if he created a gate and allowed his huge army to come through, he had no information on the pillar of light which Hajime shot, it would only cause to making the same mistakes once again. That alone must be avoided at all costs.
Although it was vexing for Hajime as well to let them get away, right now it was necessary to treat Kaori as soon as possible. If time goes on, they’ll lose the upper hand. Much like, doing something for the first time, he was completely winging it. Furthermore, the blow from the previous light was actually a weapon in its prototype stage, after that one shot it had already broken. Without the annihilation weapon, he’d have no time to deal with a million demons. It would be a bad idea to kill Freed who was the commander of the army.
Freed who doesn’t know of that, bit down onto his lips and clenched his fists so hard with rage that it started bleeding, he was thinking that he could no longer continue sacrificing his people, and while opening up a gate, he replied back full of grudge.
[......I’ll definitely repay this debt…..only you, in my God’s name, I will definitely destroy you!]
As Freed was turning back, he glanced at Eri to urge her to get onto the white dragon. Eri looked at Kouki who was surviving due to his strong status and smiled at him with a smile filled with obsessiveness and insanity. Even without words you’d know, it was the look that was filled with will of obtaining Kouki no matter what.
At the same time that Freed and Eri who were on the white dragon passed through the gate, 3 bursts of m
