Chapter 55
Im looking up to the sky.
Even though I was supposed to be inside the guild up till just a moment ago, somehow right now my field of vision is filled by the blue sky. Why? What happened? In instance I straighten up my body, and turn my gaze from the sky to the ground. And then, I can see
something white there.
To be more precise, theres a girl, who in contrast to Leila-chan, has shining white hair, white skin, and wears a white dress, that as if made of light. Her azure eyes are as if reflecting the sky, but theres no emotion within.
Moreover, the supposed to be just been repaired guilds disappeared. More precisely, theres still two-meters-high wall remains, but anything above it, either it roof nor wall, everythings been blown away.
Rishe-chan, the adventurers, and the receptionists, everyone is lying on the ground. Seems like they arent dead, but theyre all fainted.
Ah, Kitsune-kun, are you okay?
Leila-chan.
Except one, Leila-chan, shes staring at the standing white girl. No, she isnt simply staring at her, I can understand it simply by looking at her face, vigilance can be clearly seen there. When we were fighting at the guilds ground, she showed such expression once, after all.
She, who has an overwhelming prwess of S rank, is showing an expression as if facing a formidable enemy.
Leila-chan who is that girl?
I dont know, Im sure that she isnt demon, but I feel like she isnt human either.
.
After listening to her answer, I also focus my gaze on that girl. The girl is staring fixedly on us. What an unpleasant eyes, they are looking at us, but they arent looking at us at all. These eyes are as if peeking at inside our hearts.
After meeting that hero, Ive decided to knock him down, but, the next one in line is this, huh firstly Leila-chan, now this girl, why must these monsters always appear before me one after another?
Umm who are you?
Im surprised.
Hm?
Even though I intended to purifiy you all in an attack you two are unexpectedly pretty strong, arent you?
What is she talking about? She says shes surprised, but with that expressionless face of hers, it isnt convincing at all.
Moreover, whats that purify supposed to mean? To kill? Or perhaps to make us all fainted? And even if she says were strong, the strong one is only Leila-chan here, I think the reason Im not fainted is thanks to Pain nullification skill.
Well, for now, since I feel like shes at least as strong as Leila-chan, lets peek at her status first.
Status
Name : Stella
Gender : Female
Strength : 28740
Stamina : 39500
Resistance : 200:STOP!
Agility : 26800
Magic Power : 52600
Title :Apostle
Skill : ???
Innate skill : ???
I cant see her skill and innate skill as if Im obstructed by something, but even simply by status, hers has surpassed Leila-chans by far. The genuine another level existence, someone I cant see any chance of defeating.
And then, the one that makes me most curious is her Apostle title. Leila-chan said that her smell is different that human, perhaps its because of this title. Even I can uncderstand it, this girl is someone that has surpassed human limit by far.
Hmm you just did something, didnt you?
!
She noticed it!? Ive never been found out when I peeked at someones tatus even once up until now, even Leila-chan seems like has never noticed it this girl is really dangerous.
You, and you. You both are the first that I cant defeat in one attack.
Ufufu, youre also the first that give me the feeling that I might die, you know?
Is that so.
Leila-chan is speaking just as she usualy does, but cold sweat is dripping on her face. I can clearly see that this isnt a good situation. What should I do to survive this predicament? I have promises I must fulfill, I cant afford to die here.
Or rather, why did she attack us in the first place? Moreover, was she intending to kill us?
Whats your purpose?
Firstly, I must ask it first or else I wont understand anything.
Purpose to purify the world.
Purify?
Currently, this worlds stability is wavering. The cause is the space distortion when summoning someone from another world. I come to correct it.
.
Shit, doesnt that mean its because of me and that fake hero? I dont feel like Ill be able to run away.
I dont know and I cant even imagine what she would do to this so called space distortion, but if what she says about correcting it is true, then theres a high possibility that her targets would be me and that fake hero.
specifically speaking, how are you going do it?
By purifying the cause of this instability, the hero.
By purifying do you mean kill?
I will only separate his soul from his body.
Thats exactly what I meant by killing!
Seems like she hasnt noticed that Im also an otherworlder, but since the hero is clearly from another world so hes clearly been targeted by her.
Aside from Finia-chan and that fake hero, no one know that Im an otherworlder, so as long as they dont say a word about it, she wont be targeting me, but either way, since she only knocked everyone here down, that means her purification target is solely the hero, huh.
Then what are you going to do?
I heard that the hero was summoned by this country. But since it seems like weve passed each others so I think Im going to chase after him.
Hee, then just chase him immediately, if you go now, Im sure youd be able to catch up to him very soon, and with your prowess, youd be able to kill him pretty easily.
Chasing after the hero, then just do it quickly.
Honestly speaking, if she decides to act here, everyone would definitely get killed. Even Leila-chan is seemingly unable to match her after all.
But, the world isnt that nice. Shes Apostle, after all.
However you there, you arent human, are you?
!
Demon, right? Ill purify you first.
She wont overlook demon. That means, shed be targeting Leila-chan.
The white girl, whose name, according to what Kitsune saw when he peeked her status, was Stella, staring at Leila, she pointed her hand forward. That stance was similar with Finias when she was going to unleash her magic, Kitsune immediately put himself on guard just in case something flew out from her.
However, there was nothing flew out of that pointed hand,
Instead,
Along with thunderous sound of colliding lightning, a large pale lightning lance appeared there.
Along with sounds of fractive lightning, it gave a pressure of an overwhelming power. Looking closely, it could be seen that the air around the lance was a bit distorted. Seems like it was made by mixing a tremendous amont of magical energy and light around her.
Im going to correct the worlds instability, and our goal is to slay the god. This is my weapon to achieve tha goal, God annihiliting lance. Its also called as God slaying lightning (Blue End).
Saying so, Stella pointed the pale lighning toward Leila.
Slaying God, if it was really a weapon dedicated to that purpose, then killing a demon was as easy as swinging it. She expressionlessly wielded the lance that could even destroy the world.
We, does that mean theres still other people than you?
Youre right, there are even who are stronger me but, well, one attack destructive power-wise, I can say that Im the strongest.
wha!?
Rotating the lance, together with her finishing her words, lightning was surging upward. Together with sounds of rumbling ground, the lightning was melting the ground with the radating heat from it.
The ground melted without any resistance, the lance, that was raised overhead, unleashed a comet-like giant lightning.
The pale lightning approached Leila, and passed by a slight away from her face in light speed.
The passing by beam-like lightning, suddenly flew upward leaving traces as if a comet that was returning to the sky. Scattering the clouds, in an instant the sky was dyed by pale light.
!
That destructive power was surrely dreadful, however the thing that surprised Kitsune more was something else entirely.
The strongest threat he ever faced thus far, Red Night, Leila Vermilion was
unable to react to it at all.
After the lightning passed by her, dyed the sky in pale light, and finally the sky returned to its blue color there Leila finally came to her sense. Perhaps the lightning grazed her face a little, there was a line of cut appeared with blood bleeding there.
What, is that.
Just now I missed it on purpose the next one, Ill surely make it hit.
Ignoring Leilas bumbfounded murmur, Stella flatly said so.Next one will hit that meant, shed kill her with the next attack.
Without any emotion in her words nor eyes, these words were unnecessarily very chill giving. It was just as a knife that was stabbed at ones chest, and just by moving it by several millimeters, it would immediately pierce the heart.
There was nothing retraining her body and mind, but Leila was unable to move under that life and death threat.
For the first time, Leila exprerinced the threat of death.
Leila, always had a great interest and uncontrollable desire at powerful existence, however this time she was deffierent. Right now, she was simply scared at the girl before her.
A u.
Let me tell you once again the next one, Ill surely make it hit.
Toward Leila who was unable to say even a word, Stella took a step forward.
The thing Leila feared wasnt her prowess. Without any thrist of blood, emotion, nor reason, as if a machine that was made to kill, Stella herself was what frightened her the most.
And then, noticing that Stella took one step forward, Leila took one step backward.
I have to chase after the hero, so Ill finish it as quickly as possibile.
!
Then, Stella rotated the lance again, however this time she generated a larger amount of lightning. Large enough to the point the lance couldnt be seen clearly. Readying that lance, Stella looked at Leila with her blank azure eyes.
And then, when she brandished that lance and about to threw it there, her movement stopped.
Thinking that she might die, Leila closed her eyes tightly, but while wondering why she didnt feel the supposed to be coming attack, she slowly opened her eyes.
Then, she noticed that Stellas gaze wasnt pointed at her. Stellas gaze was pointed at, someone beside her. When she turned her gaze at her side following that direction, she saw it.
You, you did something, didnt you?
The one Stella called out to was, someone who was standing beside her, and staring at Stella with his usual faint smile.
Kitsune, kun.
Haa just why is this world never nice to me even once, I wonder.
Naginata Kitsune, before the threat that even Leila feared, he carefreely said so.
What did he do? The answer was simple. He simply activated Eerie Constitution, averted Stellas consciousned toward him and stopped her attack.
you see, I do think Leila-chan is annoying, accompanying her is also very tiring, if I should put it in word, then Id say that I hate her.
Saying so, Kitsune stepped forward and stood before Leila. Stella stopped her lightning, and listnened to his words. Seems like, she had no intention to kill Kitsune, also, she was curious about what Kitsune would do.
I just lost Finia-chan and Lulu-chan, right now Im quite depressed you know? Thats why, right now, it could be said that even Leila-chans existence is kind of mental support for me.
Kitsune-kun.
Thats why, if you want to take her away from me, then youe my enemy.
Kiusunes soul was suffering by the gaping hole at his heart. That anguish was, perhaps the despair that might even capable of crushing him.
Nevertheless, the reason why Kitsune hadnt been crush by it was, because there was still a hope for that stolen bonds to be kept alive, also Rishe; who always supported him; and Leila; who always acted as she pleased; who were always by his side.
That was why, to let Leila got killed, for Kitsune who just lost Finia and Lulu, that was a very unpleasant idea. That was why, Kitsune stepped up, and resisted. In spite of the heaven-and-earth disparity between their prowesses, he disregarded all of it.
Staring at Stella, Kitsune who was standing in front of Leila, along with his usual faint smile, fearlessly said.
whats up, god-slayer? Here, Im the man that, in his mind, has destroyed this world no less than 24 times already, you know?
