Chapter 90

. Mazoku . Kill . . ? (Elen)

Elen said in amazement .

. Demon king of tyrannykill? (Jessica)

Jessica muttered in an almost delirious tone .

. . Kill? (fan union)

The girls in the fan union started murmuring almost incoherently .

Theyre hearing it through the<Liikus> I have established with them .

Fumu . This is slightly bad .

Should I be careful?

No, hang on . Everyone! Dont think about it! This voice is surely an enemy attack . Is it brainwashing magic . . !?

Ah . yeahreally What should we do?

Its okay . Think about Arnos-sama, that should overwrite that stinky old mans voice!

Un . yeah . Arnos-sama .

Arnos-sama was so cool today

We were told to give our love . . I wont wash my ears anymore!!

Aah . Its not good! (Elen)

Stay strong Elen . Wasnt it you who said to think of Arnos-sama!?

I know Arnos-samas voice is precious but even thinking about it makes me feel strange (Elen)

Is it an enemy attack?

I dont know but Arnos-sama is amazing .

Fumu . They have surprisingly strong willpower but it would be better to not let it go on any longer .

I cancel <Ask>

Arnos . Just now . (Misha)

Did you hear it as well? (Arnos)

I feel her nod .

It must be because they are connected through <Guys> .

Mass of hatred . (Misha)

Thats a suitable way of describing it .

Did you feel anything else? (Arnos)

I know a similar feeling . (Misha)

Misha was her usual calm self .

Headteacher . (Misha)

Fumu . I see .

Didnt Heine say they could hear the voice of the hero Kanon? Im assuming this is what he meant .

It seems the hero academy has as much trouble as the demon king academy .

. Arnos Voldigod (Ledoriano)

Ledoriano speaks in a gloomy voice . Hes still got his lifeless eyes but somethings different .

To borrow Mishas words hes in a cage of hatred .

Looking over I see Zeshia who was blown away by <Teo Trias> stand up .

Her holy sword Enhalle was emitting magical power on a scale way beyond anything it had before .

It was shining as bright as a star just before it was ready to burn out .

Even if you arent the demon king of tyranny your power is still dangerous and someday, surely, that power will threaten humanity . . (Ledoriano)

Ledoriano voice sounds like someone whos let go of their sanity .

Zeshia doesnt react to Ledorianos words and turns her eyes to me . Emotionless eyes . The eyes of a doll who only listens to commands .

Despite that, and beyond the light of her holy sword her origin is still certainly there .

. . That you came to this academy exchange . . for us, was the best thing to happen . . (Ledoriano)

As Ledoriano was talking Zeshia charged straight at me .

Arnos . (Misha)

Dont worry . (Arnos)

While talking to Misha I step forward to meet Zeshia .

Drawing closer she drew a magic formation over her heart .

That spell

Fall back Misha! (Arnos)

I quickly develop antimagic to protect Misha whos behind me .

Zeshia listen . Stop that magic right now . You will not get the results youre expecting . (Arnos)

Ignoring my advice Zeshia rushes in .

Are you finally scared? This is the end Arnos Voldigod . You should realize the resolve of a hero . (Ledoriano)

Zeshia closes in on me .

You dont have to speak to use that magic but Ledoriano spoke out the name of the spell for the silent Zeshia .

Origin Light Destruction Explosion <Gavel>!! (Ledoriano)

At point-blank range, Zeshia plunged Enhalle into the left-hand side of her chest .

At that moment her body begins to collapse while her origin radiates an extreme amount of light .

<Gavel>

A heroes curse that forcibly releases all the magical power stored in your origin and causes an explosion of magic .

Its also known as Origin Explosion and suicide magic .

Let alone this life even your possible future lives are thrown away as the explosion consumes even the power of your future lives .

Its power is well beyond anything a normal magic-user can deal with .

Light covers the world and all sound stops .

Whiter than white, the pure radiance of life itself filled lake Seimei .

. You made light of our resolution, our courage (Ledoriano)

The origin explosion begins to settle and the pure white world begins to regain its colour .

I told you to stop it . (Arnos)

At the sound of my voice, Ledorianos expression shows a mix of surprise and despair .

Are you sane Ledoriano? That was nothing but a meaningless death . (Arnos)

Wh . . at . . (Ledoriano)

I hear his teeth click together as he snaps his mouth shut before he starts trembling and groaning . It looks like he cant even speak properly .

Are you okay Misha? (Arnos)

Misha had fallen back to the demon king castle as I told her .

Arnos protected me . (Misha)

I used my <demon eyes of ruin> to suppress the origin explosion .

<Gavel> has a wide range and normally I would have temporarily retreated using <Gatom> because as long as you are not at ground zero you can defend against it . Its still powerful but doable .

The issue was that even if Ray and Sahsa managed to survive I wouldnt have been able to save Misa and the girls in the fan union .

. W . . hy . ? (Ledoriano)

Ledoriano finally speaks a coherent word .

I turned my gaze to him .

. Why? You were at the centre of the explosion . . How are you unhurt . !? (Ledoriano)

Did you think you would reach me by throwing away the future? (Arnos)

I slowly walk towards Ledoriano .

I certainly made light of you guys . But to go as far as to use <Gavel> for this test . (Arnos)

Another step forward .

It was a splendid resolution, however, this life of mine of not that cheap that you can get it by using the future of all your members . (Arnos)

Another step forward .

A flash of a sword attack appeared .

I caught it with my right hand and brushed it off .

. Hou . (Arnos)

As expected they are surprised .

. .

What I blocked in front of me was the person who was supposed to have disappeared . Zeshia .

After using origin explosion even resurrection wont help you . Enhalle which should have also disappeared was in her hand .

You guys are doing something very interesting here . What is it Ledoriano? (Arnos)

He just quivered as if scared by something .

Based on his personality he would normally start explaining things with goodwill .

But not this time . Is there a reason for it?

. . (Zeshia)

Zeshia kicks the ground and as soon as she approaches me she draws the formation on her chest again and immediately stabs herself with Enhalle .

<Gavel> dyes the area white again and again I suppress it with my <demon eyes of ruin>

Zeshia dies and disappears along with her origin .

However .

.

Zeshia who should no longer be alive appears out of nowhere and stands in front of me for the 3rd time .

Fumu . There doesnt seem to be a limit . (Arnos)

<Gavel> isnt a magic I can deal with lightly . I must locate the reason this fellow keeps coming back .

If she wont die from using <Gavel> then shes unlikely to die from anything I can do .

This seems to have turned into a real fight against a real hero .

. . Arnos-kun can you hear me? . .

I receive a concealed <Liikus> that isnt coming from the heroes side .

Come to the temple . Please . Zeshia can only be stopped by me .

<Liikus> is cut off .

Eleonor? (Misha)

I cant dismiss that this might be a trap . (Arnos)

Misha shakes her head .

Not lying . (Misha)

Eleonor seems to be different from the others and if Misha says its okay then it is .

Ill go . (Misha)

Understood . Ill suppress this fellow . (Arnos)

Standing further away this time Zeshia stabs herself in the chest using <Gavel> but I quickly close the distance and stab my right hand into her chest .

. . Tsu . ! (Zeshia)

Youre a dull fellow . How many times are you going to blow yourself up? (Arnos)

I cast Time Manipulation <Lebaido> on <Gavel> stopping the magic itself and preventing the origin explosion .

Fumu . It hasnt completely stopped? (Arnos)

Well, I suppose it was a bit unreasonable using magic on a magic that was embedded in an origin . At least Ive bought some time .

Be careful . (Misha)

You too . (Arnos)

Misha nods and uses <Gatom>
