Chapter 81.2: Darkness That Swallowed The Light

It was a skill that I couldn’t stop even when he was only using one sword.

And yet, he used two swords to unleash that skill now.

This attack might tear him apart.

Reiji’s sword of light approached at extremely fast speed.

That blinding light enveloped Dark Knight’s figure.

The next moment, something came flying in our direction.

「EH?」

I ended up leaking out a dumbfounded voice.

The thing that was sent flying was crashing onto the top part of the rampart, the place we’re standing right now, and didn’t stop until it crashed against the second rampart far behind us.

A thunderous noise resounded around Ariadya as that something crashed against the second rampart.

I turned around quickly and looked at the second rampart.

What was that just now? Though I only caught a glimpse of it the moment it crashed through the place where we stood, the third rampart, I still doubted my eyes since the one who got thrown just now was Reiji.

「Uuhm… can someone explain to me what was happened just now?」

I asked Nao who stood beside me.

Nao with the best motoric nerves and eyesight amongst us might be able to tell me what was happened.

「Shirone-san’s childhood friend, he parried Reiji-senpai’s attack, and sent a counterattack that sent Reiji-senpai flying within just a moment…」

Even Nao’s eyes were opened wide as she replied to me as if she couldn’t believe what she just seen.

「Nevertheless, it’s the skill that I used on Kuroki-sama before. It seems he stole that skill.」

Kaya muttered so.

Her forehead was drenched in cold sweats.

I rarely saw Kaya this surprised before.

「DAMMIT!!!」

Reiji jumped out from the second rampart along with that warcry.

Reiji came again at his fastest speed toward him, the Dark Knight.

And then, the sky was filled with blinding light again.

The next moment, something was thrown right into the ground in front of Ariadya.

Upon a closer look, I saw the figure of Reiji, buried in the middle of the crater created from his fall, looking at the black, stormy sky.

「IMPOSSIBLE, REIJI-SAMA!!!」

Shizufae who stood by my side raised a bitter cry upon seeing her idol being toyed around.

The same goes for the subordinates of General Clasus.

「Look, he is completely toyed around by his opponent…」

Kaya spoke with a calm and composed voice as she looked at Reiji who was buried in the middle of the crater.

「Look, it’s exactly as I told you, right.」

Kyouka spoke to me with a triumphant look on her face.

This wasn’t the time to feel elated though. [Note: WHY SHOULDN’T SHE!???]

Reiji jumped from the ground to challenge the Dark Knight again.

But, Reiji’s sword of light never reached its target.

「Uhm. I think Reiji-senpai is really in deep shi*t right now…」

Nao muttered with a surprised look on her face.

「AH, YOU’RE RIGHT NAO-SAN! REIJI-KUN IS REALLY IN DEEP SHI*T!! CALL SHIRONE ASAP!!! SHE’S THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN STOP HIM!!!」

◆Silver Witch; Kuna

「What’s happening here? He’s actually toying around with that hero of light.」

Ulbard spoke with surprised look on his face.

Currently, he was looking at the battle between Kuroki and the hero which unfolded in front of him.

It was only natural for Kuroki to overwhelm the hero.

The hero could only blame his own stupidity for trying to challenge Kuroki when my Kuroki actually gave him a way out of this situation.

Since that was the case, could he at least make himself a bit more useful and show what he got so that I could see the figure when Kuroki fought seriously. What a useless hero.

「Is something the matter, Ulbard? you look unwell.」

「N-No, it’s nothing… Kuna-sama. I was just really surprised by Your Excellency strength.」

There was a fear mixed in Ulbard’s expression.

It seems this idiot had finally realized just what kind of person he was trying to plot against.

「What a foolish statement!! It’s only natural that Kuroki is far more powerful than the hero!!」

Such an idiot. I had no idea whether there was merit in letting this idiot to live.

Just what in the hell is that useless hero doing all this time to make him fail to kill this idiot. Albeit, I had to say that this idiot was lucky.

But still, just what in the hell was this idiot thinking about for planning to kill Kuroki and Hero after making them fight against each other?

In the end, all his plans would be smashed by Kuroki even if I didn’t do anything.

「Yes, I was such a fool…」

Ulbard bowed as he spoke.

「It’s good that you know What about your wounds, Runfeld? can you still fight?」

I directed my question to Runfeld this time.

「Since I’ve received healing magic, I’m ready to fight anytime.」

Runfeld’s arm had already back to normal after he received healing magic.

And then.

Though not as much as before, he could still fight.

「I see. Well then, Demon King Army. Prepare for the battle which might happen anytime now.」

Ulbard look really surprised when I ordered them to prepare for battle.

「Uhm… Kuna-sama. Aren’t we, going to evacuate?」

I sent a cold piercing glare toward the useless idiot called Ulbard.

「YOU FOOL!! ARE YOU PLANNING TO LET KUROKI FIGHT BY HIMSELF?!! LOOK, THE HERO”S COMRADES ARE STANDING BY RIGHT THERE!! OUR DUTY IS TO KEEP THEM IN CHECK!!」

Was this idiot planning to leave Kuroki behind to fight by himself?

「Kuna-sama is right. There’s no way we can let Your Excellency fight on his own in the midst of enemy territory.」

I let out a smile upon hearing Runfeld’s remark.

And then, I invoked my magic.

「That’s right. It’s time to teach those foolish humans… no, those foolish humans and their gods about the darkness that swallowed the light!!!」

◆Sword’s Maiden; Shirone

「Fuh. Transporting that fella does take a lot of time, Shirone-san.」

Rino-chan spoke while smiling at me.

「Yeah, it’s ended safely, Rino-chan.」

Currently, we’re flying above Ariad inlet.

All we did was carry Badon above this inlet, and annihilate it.

The flame king which was summoned by RIno-chan had already vanished as the steam of vaporized seawater rose in the air.

「Yeah, shall we go back? I’m a bit worried about what happened over there.」

「Naturally it’s Reiji-san’s victory. There’s no way he’s gonna lose against such an opponent.」

「You’re right.」

We were laughing.

At that moment, I felt the extremely powerful pressure from afar.

It seems Rino-chan had also felt the same since she was looking at the direction of Republic Ariadya.

「Shirone-san… This is…」

I nodded to Rino-chan.

Suddenly, something akin to bad premonition hit me.

◆Demon Queen; Mona

The projection of the battle between the hero of light against Lord Diehart could be seen from the sky above the throne room of Demon King castle.

「Kukukuku, this scene is really something else. Seeing this makes me feel so refreshed for some reason. What about you, Mona?」

My dearest Modes-sama asked me of such a question.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

He was clearly enjoying this.

「Yes… I can’t help but feel extremely surprised upon witnessing Lord Diehart’s strength.」

Despite replying with such an answer, I didn’t feel happy at all.

Being shown in that reflection was the image of the Dark Knight one-sidedly beating the hero of light.

That scene only brings forth more anxiety to me.

Because wasn’t that mean that the hero from another world who would beat Modes-sama was none other than Lord Diehart himself? Though it was just possible, the chance of him beating Modes-sama was even higher than that shi*tty hero.

That’s why with such consideration in my mind, I secretly ordered Ulbard to crush Lord Diehart.

Ulbard then proceeded to create a plan to crush both the Dark Knight and the hero of light by using the greenhorn called Zand.

But, that useless idiot failed to meet my expectation.

That’s why this development didn’t make me happy at all.

Moreover, the people who stood behind us seemed to feel the same as me. All of them made frightened looks on their face.

The one they were afraid of was Modes-sama.

Because normally, Modes-sama would always smile kindly.

And yet, the smile he showed right now was that of an extremely belligerent smile.

Maybe, his blood was boiling upon seeing Lord Diehart’s battle against that hero of light.

And the people beside us who perceived Modes-sama’s belligerent smile got frightened as a result.

「GAHAHAHAHAHA. THAT HERO LITERALLY TURNED INTO A PUNCHING BAG. LORD DIEHART IS TRULY POWERFUL KUKUKUKU, HE MIGHT BE EVEN STRONGER THAN THIS MODES.」

Despite what he said, my dearest Modes still spoke of those words with a bright smile on his face.

I could only feel anxious upon seeing that.

◆Serpent’s Queen; Diadona

The projection of the battle between the hero of light against Lord Diehart could be seen from the sky above the throne room of my palace.

「Strong. That Dark Knight is really strong. You’re absolutely no match for him.」

「ARE YOU TRYING TO PICK A FIGHT WITH ME, SERPENT QUEEN!!!!?」

Labrys was looking at me with the vexed look on his face as he shouted those words.

「My bad Labrys. I’ve no intention to make you angry.」

I calmed Labrys down.

The ox-headed god turned his face away, clearly vexed by that fact.

「Nevertheless, to think that Modes have such powerful Dark Knight amongst his subordinate…」

I looked at the reflection again.

An image might be, but even that image was enough to tell me just how powerful and terrifying that Dark Knight was.

Modes, the strongest god had such a powerful Dark Knight by his side.

He was way too dangerous.

I remember the information which I got from Zand, one of Zarxis’ son.

「As expected, we have no choice but to revive that…」
