Chapter 119 [Three Nights Over] from birth
"Born with the ability [Three Nights Over]...?"
What's that? Is such a thing possible?
"The enhancement of the [Three Nights Over] ability is inherited... It's inherited from my grandpa, the one who created the Chimeras."
"Created... So, your grandpa is that magician, huh?"
"Yeah... My grandpa was a genius. My dad was just an ordinary person, though... It's called atavistic inheritance. But you wouldn't understand, being an ordinary person..."
Yeah, I don't understand. But that nonchalant attitude of yours, making fun of people, makes me want to kill you, you know?
"Ordinary people, you know, they try to eliminate those who possess something they don't... just because they're different..."
"Huh? What's with the sudden lecture? Are you trying to tell your life story?"
But, if you're going to talk nonsense, it might be just right. In the meantime, I'll think of a way to defeat you. To defeat an opponent far superior, a prolonged battle won't work. I have to finish it in one go.
"I, you know... I've never even seen Grandpa's face... It's obvious, right? He was killed by a hero before my dad was born..."
How about secretly shooting magma and hitting him from a blind spot? Or using an eruption at his feet to burn everything around?
"My dad also kept Grandpa a secret from everyone... He probably didn't want people to know he was the son of a big villain... He kept it a secret even from my mom. He only told me..."
No good, he knows all my tricks. His reaction speed is not just beyond human, it's at the level of a demon. I'll never hit him.
"Being born with the ability to do anything... It was strange even to me... Just by getting a little serious, no one around me could come close to me... But, you know... When I got serious, everyone looked at me like I was a jerk... as if I should read the room..."
I already know he's not an opponent I can face head-on... So, what should I do?
"Knowing the reason, I felt relieved... I realized I'm different from ordinary people, that I'm a genius... But, you know... When you're a genius, everyone around you tries to eliminate you... It's all pointless. I keep making enemies for no reason..."
...How long is he going to continue? It's annoying. Does this guy really like himself that much?
"I was proud of Grandpa, you know... But, my own talent became annoying... Everything became troublesome... So, I decided to stop getting serious and just slack off..."
I don't care about your talent, but your mere existence is annoying to me. As far as I'm concerned, stop telling your life story to your enemies.
"...Haah, thanks for the boring chatter. I tuned out half of it, but I understood this much: You got all flustered because Beato broke your 【Domination】, right?"
"Huh?"
"You're a bundle of pride, aren't you? Looking down on people, thinking you're superior to everyone else. That's why your pride was wounded when someone like Beato, who you look down upon, surpassed your magic power. You're a cheap guy, really."
"What did you say, you average...! Say it again, huh...!?"
Oh, he's angry, he's angry. This might work out well. Provoke him, and make him lose his cool; that might create an opening.
"I'll say it as many times as needed. You're just a conceited guy who thinks he's special."
"What did you say, you...!!"
Oh, he's furious, he's furious. He's charging at me with incredible force. Slower than Levia's high-speed rush, though. Activating Divine Hawk Eyes, I carefully read his movements and sidestep at the very last moment.
Dogoo!!
The impact of the swung rod shattered the castle wall. If I took that directly, my body would probably be blown away...
(Now!)
This moment, this timing. In his split second of stiffness after swinging the rod, taking advantage of that opening, I touch him somewhere with the tip of my sword. There's no other way to defeat him. Landing, I extend my arm, thrusting the sword toward Rugolf's upper arm.
(Reach...!!)
It's okay, at this distance, I can definitely touch him. Just a little more, my arm stretches, and the tip is about to touch—
"I can see it..."
I couldn't touch him. In that instant when it seemed like I could touch him, Rugolf's figure disappeared.
Bagyaa...!
"Gopo..."
The side of the rod thrust into my abdomen, and a large amount of blood sprayed from my mouth. This guy, from that position, lowered his posture and counterattacked. The pain is overwhelming, and my consciousness is fading, I can't stand anymore...
"I won't let you rest... Hey..."
Grabbing my hair forcefully, he lifts me up. What the hell is he doing to a girl's hair, this damn guy...
"You dare to mock me...! A mere ordinary person! The chosen one, me...!!"
Thud, thud, thud!
"Gah... Kaha... Kohu..."
He repeatedly punched me in the stomach, and each time a groan and blood uncontrollably spewed from my mouth. Just when I thought he released his hand from my hair, he went for my fallen right arm.
Snap...!!
"Aaaahhhh!!"
He stomped on it with all his might. Without a doubt, the bone broke or rather, shattered into pieces. It's bent in a strange direction. It's too painful; I can't even lose consciousness. It's nauseating, I feel like vomiting.
"I won't let you off easily... I'll torment you until you cry and apologize... I'll make you beg for death..."
No, don't give up. Don't let your spirit break. With all the murderous intent I can muster, I glare at this damn guy. Somehow find an opportunity and absolutely kill him...!
"What's with those eyes!!!"
○○○
"Beato, no! You can't go! You can't!"
"...!"
Let go, please! We need to heal her quickly!
"...!"
Kyrie-san, who has been kicked in the stomach repeatedly, is vomiting blood. Tears naturally overflow from my eyes as I see her covered in wounds.
"I understand your feelings, I really do..."
Certainly, even if I go, I might not be able to do anything. But just watching silently...
What should I do? At this rate, Kyrie-san will... Kyrie-san will die. I unintentionally hug the pouch I received from Kyrie-san tightly.
"In this situation, I will provide support! I'll do it for you!"
"...?"
Inside the pouch, I see a small box containing the Hero Gift Sphere. I know that Kyrie-san has been trying hard to open it from time to time but couldn't. I felt something strange from that small box.
Rustle, rustle
I take it out from the pouch and place the small box in the palm of my hand. It's a small box with a lion's mark, engraved with the symbol of the Enpyrean Church. Even though Kyrie-san couldn't open it, I strangely have a conviction that, now, I can open it.
"..."
I place my fingers on the lid and pour in magical power. With a *click*, the small box opens on its own.
"..."
Inside, there's a small blue sphere. There's no time to think about how it got opened. If I can somehow deliver it to Kyrie-san, there might be a chance.
But how should I deliver it? If Rugolf notices and takes it away, all chances of winning will be gone.
"Rock Rush, ready...!"
While I was opening the box, Mel-san created many stones and floated them. Despite trembling in both legs and arms, she's enduring her fear and doing her best. Ah, right, stones. To hide it, let's go into there!
"I'll release this when you're ready. I intend to settle the score with Fregenta with my own hands!"
"..."
I nod. With Mel-san's power, I'll hand this to Kyrie-san!
