Chapter 120 A Glimpse of the 【Water God】
"Rugolf! Be prepared!"
"Huh?"
Interrupting his kick towards me, Rugolf glares at the small voice of a girl. At the end of his gaze is Mel-chan, holding a staff and floating a large number of stones toward the enemy. She's probably trying to help me, but it's reckless. There's no way that kind of magic will hit.
"Mel-chan... Beato, take her and run!"
"I won't run! Neither I nor Beato will leave you behind, absolutely not!"
"Tch, annoying brat. Don't interfere with her punishment..."
"Onee-san, please take it! Rock Rush!!"
Bullet-like stones are launched towards Rugolf. I appreciate the sentiment, but Mel-chan is enduring her fear, right? Because most of the stones are deviating here and there, hitting the ground or walls, and not reaching Rugolf.
"Huh...? What's this girl thinking? Can't even aim properly... That's why ordinary people are..."
No, that's not it. Mel-chan is not scared at all. Then, there must be some meaning to this attack.
(Divine Hawk Eyes!)
I reactivated my Renki which disappeared and enhanced my vision. I need to clearly discern the purpose of this attack. Is it related to the places she's targeting? No, it's completely scattered. Then...
(Huh? The stone coming towards me...)
A small, blue sphere is embedded on the surface of one of the stones. It's processed with magical power to fit into it. The stone bounces in front of me, rolling into my hands.
(... I see, so that's what it was. I've got it, Mel-chan.)
I've clearly received Mel-chan's feelings. Let's avenge together the enemy of Mel-chan's hometown, Fregenta.
Extending my unbroken left arm, I pick up the stone. I then bring the gift under control. I don't know what I can do with this, but one thing is strangely clear – I've won this battle.
"Enough already, aren't you annoying? How about dying before the hero?"
"I won't yield to your threats! You should just be killed by Kyrie-onee-san already!"
"Hero? What can a piece of garbage on the brink of death like you possibly do? Gobobobo!"
Thanks, Mel-chan. Even after I picked up the stone, you didn't stop attacking, distracting him. Thanks to you, I managed to capture him.
"Gobbo! Gobababo! Gobobabo!"
Mel-chan delivered the Gift Sphere of the 【Water God】. Using this, I created a water ball centered around Rugolf's feet. The size of the water ball is large enough to swallow his whole body. To ensure he can't escape even if he struggles, I solidify the surface with a bouncy membrane. I feel like I could do something even more incredible, but with my current battered state, this is probably the best I can manage.
As a bonus, I manipulate the flow of water and shove it into his mouth. Since it would be instant death if it enters the lungs, I send it only into his stomach. After all, making this piece of garbage die instantly isn't satisfying enough for me.
"Geho... goho... Well, you piece of garbage. You really tormented me thoroughly."
Damn it, he really messed me up. My right arm is dangling, and how many of my ribs are broken? I feel like I'm about to pass out, but with sheer willpower, I keep my consciousness intact and approach the drowning Rugolf.
"Gobabo! Babo!"
"Are you prepared? You tormented me so much, even laying hands on Beato. Cry and apologize; I won't kill you until then."
Well then, let's start with a combination of 【Water God】 and 【Boiling】. That's water created by my magic, meaning it's infused with my magic power. I just need to command "boil" in my mind without touching it.
Glopp, glopglop, bobobobobobob.
See, it's starting to boil.
"Boba!! Baboboboba!! Gobababobabo!!"
In the boiling hot water sphere, Rugholf struggles, flapping his arms and legs in agony. It looks painful, hot indeed. Ah, it feels good.
"I don't know if you can hear me, but... if you thought you'd get away with just this, you're seriously mistaken."
Dragging my heavy body, I finally reach the water sphere. First, let's confiscate the Gift Sphere of 【Domination】.
Even lifting the Sword Breaker is tough, but I slowly insert it into the water sphere, placing the blade right against the trash's left hand. Then, putting pressure on, the cutting begins.
"Ugobbo, baboobobbo!! Babobababo!!"
Sorry, but you've made such a mess of yourself that I can't cut smoothly, it's more like sawing. It's your own fault, and I don't feel a bit sorry.
The blade tears through flesh, approaching the bones. The once transparent water sphere starts turning red with blood. From here on, it's going to be tough to cut through the bones. I apply more force, putting my weight onto the blade.
Zubaa!!
"Therebababbababbooo!!"
There, successful amputation. Now, you can't cause trouble with 【Domination】 anymore. Oh no, I forgot, the bleeding won't stop underwater. At this rate, he'll die from blood loss.
Bashaa!!
As I release the water sphere, the thoroughly cooked Rugholf tumbles awkwardly.
"Agyahii!! Azu, azuuuu!! You!! How could you do this to me!"
"Noisy, huh? Keep screaming with your filthy voice... Maybe let out a low-tone yawn or something..."
Despite his yelling, he doesn't counterattack, perhaps his spirit is on the verge of breaking? I put my weight on both of his legs, stomping on them, and thoroughly crush and break the bones in his legs, returning the favor for my arm from earlier.
"Gieeeaaah, hii, giaaaah!!"
Ignoring the filthy screams, I went ahead and cut off the remaining right wrist.
"There we go, it's over... You can't move on your own anymore, can you, Mr. Genius? How are you feeling now?"
"Gyaaagaaah, uggghaaaah!!"
"Yeah, that's a good answer."
Now, the risk of dying from blood loss hasn't passed. To make him suffer more, I need to stop the bleeding.
"Is this okay?"
I'll use the stone fragment of Rock Rush with the Gift Sphere of 【Water God】 embedded in it that Mel-chan handed me. Since I can't break the Gift Sphere, it's fine to melt the stone.
"Dissolve!"
Pouring magic into it, turning it into magma, and while levitating it in the air, I make the stone fragment spit out only the Gift Sphere. The blue ball that falls into the palm seems unaffected by the magma, not producing any heat even if touched.
"Now, let's do some first aid."
"What, what are you planning...? You can't be serious, stop it...!"
"Huh...? Stop, of course not. Are you stupid?"
Manipulating the magma while looking down at the trembling trash still lying on the ground, I start with the cut on the right arm. I press it tightly, searing the wound.
Juuguguguu...
"Gyaaagaaah, ugghhaaaaah!!"
Sealed by cauterization, the bleeding is now stopped. I'll have to seal the other one in the same way.
By the time I finished stopping the bleeding in both arms, Rugholf had lost consciousness due to the unbearable pain. What a pathetic guy, this trash.
Now, should I take him to Lea-san? She should be back to her senses by now. After getting a confession about Taltus's rebellion in the torture room, I'll have her kill this guy.
(As for Lea-san... Toka and Joanna... I wonder if they are okay...)
Ah, no, it's no time to worry about others. The surroundings are getting blurry...
"Kyrie-nee-san!"
"...!!"
Before my body could collapse, Beato, who ran over, supported me. She hugged me and poured healing magic into me.
"Beato... thank you..."
"..."
From the pain of the wounds, the fatigue in my body, and even the turmoil in my heart, everything was gradually healing as Beato held me. Ah, I guess I really depend on her completely. Without her, I feel like I would be in trouble in various ways...

God, I love Kyrie's beat downs. Totally fucked up, but very satisfying.
