【Hadira's POV】
Now that I know the
ring is the source of his power, all I have to do is blow him away along with
the ring.
I was surprised that
the ring was not shattered by the Death Wind, but it gave me more certainty.
That is───a treasure from the
mythical age.
It has existed for
about 400 years and was created by or similar to one of the first, second, and
third gods enshrined by the Goddess of Fertility, the ruler of this world.
I don't know why the
man had such a thing, but there's no other ring that can withstand the attack
of the god (me).
But, unfortunately,
he's out of luck.
I have a way to
destroy treasures.
Did he think I was
just a being who grants death? No. I can manipulate all phenomena related to
death. Death by acid, death by drowning, death by fire, death by wind pressure,
all are at my command.
In other words,
necrosis, which destroys everything, is also at my command.
There's no complicated
reasoning or complicated procedure───it's simply a matter of granting death with a simple blow───hence the Death
Strike.
I confirmed that the
man's ring was also destroyed by the impact I created.
Now you're out of
options. You've given me quite a hard time... I let out a heavy exhale.
...But it's also true
that I was pushed into a corner more than I expected. To think that a single
human could do this much to me... I have to correct my thinking that I could
handle it alone.
"I've learned a
lot from you, human. This is what Elethea-sama was worried about. Thanks to
you, I've come a little closer to her thinking. ...Next time, I'll come up with
a perfect plan and finally answer her wish───"
As I put it into
words, I tried to engrave in my heart the determination not to make the same
mistake next time───and then I felt a
sense of unease again.
"…………………T-This
can't be happening."
He was regenerating. A
dark red mist and a deep crimson liquid were generated and were converging to
form the shape of the man.
"Why...Why!? Why
why whyyyyyyyyy!!!"
The man regained his
form and opened his eyelids.
"Why are you
still regenerating, even though I destroyed the ring!?"
□□□
【Hadira's POV】
Impossible... That
ring should have been destroyed, but even it regenerated and is now on the
man's finger.
What's going on???
"Why, I clearly
destroyed the ring. Why is it there again? What the hell is that ring!?"
"Oh, this?"
The man made a fist
and showed me the ring.
"Well, you see...
because of my nature, that person said, [If I just let you hold it without any
preparation, you'll drop it right away], so it's directly connected to my soul
so I'll never drop it. That's why this ring won't disappear as long as I'm
alive."
A soul manipulation to
prevent it from disappearing? As long as he's not dead? Who could do such a
feat? In other words, the regeneration power wasn't the ring itself?
"Then, what is
the source of your regeneration power...?"
"Huh? It's thanks
to a [Skill]."
"Huh?"
[Skill]...!?
Impossible... So you're saying that my [death] was defeated by a mere human's
innate [talent] (skill)!?
"No way! What
kind of [Skill] can withstand my [death]!!"
"[Indomitable
Spirit]"
"───"
Indomitable... Spirit?
"Well... I don't
really understand how I got this. I have no idea why they gave it to me or if
there are any restrictions. But so far, nothing inconvenient has happened, and
in fact, thanks to this, I've learned to have fun. So, well... I don't think I
need to think too much about the details."
What...is this man
saying?
"Besides, it's a
waste of time to think about things I don't understand. So, I never think about
the end. When it's over, it's over. Besides, if it's going to end someday... I
might as well enjoy myself to the fullest until then, right?"
What the hell!?
"Don't you think
so?"
What the hell is wrong
with this guy!?
"Have fun, you
say!? You're dying right now! Where's the fun in that!? Isn't it painful!?
Isn't it painful to keep experiencing death? Do you have no sense of
pain...?"
The man laughed at my
question.
"I don't know how
to get rid of that pain. It hurts. It hurts a lot. But───it's just pain."
I couldn't understand
at all what the man was saying.
