Volume 7
Chapter 19
The light that had blotted out their vision began to subside.
When Nozomu slowly
opened his eyelids, he saw not the outer district of Arcazam, but a dense
forest spreading before him.
"...Where am
I?"
Light filtered through
the gaps in the leaves, and the air was filled with the stifling scent of
trees.
They were supposed to
be in the outer district until just a moment ago, but now they were in the
middle of a forest. Lisa let out a bewildered voice at the incomprehensible
situation.
"This is probably
the forest on the outskirts of Arcazam..."
Lisa looked around
with a dazed expression.
Nozomu calmly tried to
grasp their situation from the surrounding environment.
"You can
tell?"
"Yeah, over
there..."
Where Nozomu pointed,
the collapsed and tattered remains of tents and wooden fences were scattered
about. It was the ruins of a goblin settlement that had been wiped out by Abyss
Grief before.
"But how did we
get to a place like this in an instant..."
"It's
unbelievable, but it was probably spatial transfer magic... Not a magic that a
mere human can use."
At Nozomu's words,
Lisa's eyes widened.
There were currently
no humans on this continent who could use spatial transfer magic.
It was confirmed that
it had existed as a magic in ancient times, but there were only faint traces of
it in old ruins. Naturally, it had not been deciphered.
At that moment, the
sound of rubble collapsing echoed around them.
When they turned their
gaze to where the sound had come from, Azel, who had brought them here, was
looking down at Nozomu with eyes of rage.
"This is your
graveyard, Tiamat. I will cast your tainted soul into eternal darkness so that
it can never return to this land."
In front of the
scattered remains of houses, the white-haired girl declared this while glaring
at Nozomu with eyes full of killing intent.
Nozomu gritted his
back teeth.
As expected, the girl
in front of him knew his secret. Then, there was no doubt that Zonne was also
involved.
"Tia, mat...?"
While Nozomu's guard
shot up, Lisa had a bewildered expression at the name Azel had uttered.
She was unable to keep
up with the stormy development and the words that were being thrown one after
another.
"What in the
world is she..."
Lisa unintentionally
called out to Nozomu. However, her words were stopped by Nozomu, whose face was
twisted in pain.
"...Nozomu?"
"Guh...!"
Nozomu, who had been
wearing a pained expression as if gritting his back teeth, was acting
strangely.
A sudden outbreak of sweat
and his face turning pale.
At his unusual state,
Lisa couldn't help but rush over to Nozomu.
"Hey, what's
wrong!"
His lips were tightly
clenched, as if enduring something. Nozomu's legs were trembling, and he
finally couldn't bear it and fell to his knees.
"Hah, hah,
hah..."
Ragged breaths were
intermittently escaping from Nozomu's mouth.
Lisa, who didn't know
the details of the situation, had no way of knowing, but the moment he saw
Azel's figure, Tiamat had begun to rampage, trying to tear through Nozomu's
body.
"Gigigi...
Gugaah..."
A groan of resentment
echoed in his ears. A pain accompanied by a discomfort as if his whole body
were being eaten by centipedes assaulted him, and he was continuously exposed
to a headache as if his head were being churned.
A passion welled up
from the depths of his chest.
While understanding
that it was not his own, the overly powerful torrent of hatred was easily
toying with Nozomu's tiny reason like a fallen leaf on the surface of the
water.
"Damn it..."
Still, Nozomu
desperately continued to resist the torrent of hatred that was about to wash
him away.
He bit his lip so hard
it bled and fired up his consciousness, which was on the verge of turning
white.
"Well then, let's
end this quickly."
Azel declared this as
she raised her right hand high.
At the same time, a
white light seeped out from her body.
It was not just light.
It was neither magic power nor ki. It was the light of the elemental essence,
the primordial power.
At the manifestation
of the power that only a spirit species could possess, Nozomu and Lisa's
expressions tensed.
The seeping light was
shot up into the sky, covering the entire heavens. At the same time, the
scenery around Nozomu began to fade in color.
The color drained from
the lush green trees, and the soil turned white as if it were ash.
The wind that should
have been caressing his cheeks also vanished, and a lukewarm, windless space
enveloped Nozomu.
"This is... What
in the world..."
"I have shifted
the phase of the space around you with a barrier and severed your connection
with the spirits. With this, no matter how much you rampage, not a single blade
of grass will be crushed in the real world. And your screams, let alone the
connection of that fairy, will not reach here."
At those words, Nozomu
and Lisa held their breath.
Barrier magic exists
not only for defense but also for various other formulas such as soundproofing
and presence concealment, but it is at most to the extent of granting an effect
to a designated space.
But if what Azel said
was true, it was synonymous with Nozomu and Lisa alone being dragged into a
completely different space. In their knowledge, they had never heard of such a
magic.
And again, a white
light rose from Azel's body.
The gushed-out light
of the elemental essence danced in the middle, forming a complex multiple
formation.
A total of three
formations intertwined with each other, and at their center, a white light
contracted and took shape.
What was formed was a
giant harpoon made of white light. Its tip was aimed at the kneeling Nozomu and
was released with great force.
"Kuh!"
Lisa reflexively
pushed Nozomu strongly. With that recoil, Lisa's body also moved slightly away
from Nozomu, and the harpoon of light passed through the gap with great force.
The passed-through
light harpoon hit a tree behind the two and, along with a flash of light,
scattered a strong blast wave in the surroundings.
"Kyaaaaah!"
"Guahhhh!"
Tossed about by the
blast wave, Nozomu and Lisa were sent flying.
Lisa, while being
thrown into the air, twisted her body and made a spectacular landing.
Nozomu also, while
forcibly suppressing the pain running through his entire body, somehow managed
to break his fall and stand up.
"Hah, hah... Who
are you? Are you related to that old man?"
"You don't need
to know, and I have no intention of telling you."
No questions asked. As
if to embody those words, the girl deployed a multiple magic circle again.
Light gathered in the
six-layered magic circle that was deployed above the girl's head, and became
countless light arrows and was launched into the sky.
The launched arrows of
light changed their direction in mid-air and, with their tips aimed at Nozomu,
rained down all at once.
"Uoh!"
A swarm of raining light
arrows. Nozomu forcibly suppressed the pain running through his entire body,
opened his eyes wide, and saw through the trajectory of the attacking arrows in
an instant.
At the same time, he
instantly raised his ki and activated Flash Step. While jumping back from that
spot, he swung his katana at the light arrows that were about to hit.
"Guuh!"
The arrows of light
were heavier than they looked, and every time he let his katana follow along, a
pressure as if being hit by an iron hammer was applied to Nozomu's arm.
The arrows that did
not hit also pierced the ground deeply, kicking up dirt and sand and blocking
Nozomu's vision. If he were to be hit directly, his soft human body would
probably be torn to shreds.
Although Nozomu had
avoided a direct hit because he did not fight head-on, he was still on the
verge of losing his balance due to the unexpected power.
His state tilted, and
the ground loomed before his eyes. There, other arrows rushed at Nozomu.
"...Hmph!"
The arrows of light of
unusual power. However, Nozomu's skill was also not ordinary.
He immediately
corrected his body's center of gravity, which was about to shift. He brought
his body's movements back under control with an exquisite sense of balance and
immediately responded to the situation while rotating his body.
In a posture as if he
had almost fallen to the ground, Nozomu swung his katana to strike down the
approaching light arrows from above.
With the reaction from
the driven-in slash, Nozomu's body floated slightly, and Azel's light arrows
passed through the space where Nozomu's body had been until a moment ago with
great force. In that instant, Nozomu completely regained his posture.
Furthermore, Nozomu,
while jumping back, swung his katana, accurately deflecting the trajectory of
the arrows, and at the same time, dodging them.
The masterful
technique of using the opponent's attack power for evasion, which he had
learned in his mock battle with Jihad. It was being put to good use in this
place as well.
"...Surprisingly
persistent."
But the girl in front
of him was also no ordinary person.
While frowning at the
sight of Nozomu, who had completely dealt with the light arrows she had
released, she immediately redeployed her magic circle. She created twice as
many light arrows as before and once again launched them at Nozomu.
"Kuh!"
Nozomu raised his ki
further and continued to deal with the light arrows.
Using Flash Step -
Curving Dance -, he managed both evasion and interception at the same time, but
the army of light arrows led by Azel was far too numerous.
"N-Nozomu!"
In front of Nozomu,
who was being pushed back one-sidedly, Lisa let out a desperate voice. Lisa,
who was more confused than Nozomu by the situation in front of her, had
reflexively chanted and constructed a formula in front of Nozomu's crisis.
What Lisa was best at
was, like Irisdina, close combat using both a sword and magic. However, she had
not brought her weapon with her now.
Therefore, she could
only support Nozomu with magic.
A fire bullet appeared
in Lisa's hand. Its power doubled by her ability "Nivea’s Demonic Hand,"
the fire bullet instantly bloated. She was about to release the enlarged fire
bullet at Azel, but...
"You're in the
way."
"Kyaah!"
However, faster than
Lisa could release the fire bullet, Azel took the initiative and went to crush
Lisa's magic.
An arrow of light
pierced the fire bullet she was about to release, and it exploded.
Lisa, who was caught
in the explosion of the power-enhanced fire bullet at close range, was sent
flying while being engulfed in flames.
"U-Uuh..."
Lisa, who had been
blown away and had hit her body hard on the ground, let out a pained voice.
To such a Lisa, Azel
did not even give a glance.
"Human woman, I
have no business with you. If you stay quiet, I will not harm you, but if you
interfere again, I will kill you without question."
"Lisa! Damn
it!"
At the sight of Lisa
being blown away in front of him, Nozomu felt his vision turning completely
red.
Still, he could not
let this opportunity pass.
Nozomu, while grinding
his back teeth in frustration, did not miss the opening when Azel's
consciousness was momentarily directed at Lisa and charged in.
"Tch!"
Azel immediately sent
the army of light arrows at Nozomu.
The swarm of light
that spread before his eyes. However, Nozomu, without slowing down at all,
accelerated further and stepped in at once.
"Ooooooooooooh!"
Along with a sharp
cry, Nozomu slammed ki into his own katana.
An extreme blade was
bestowed upon the phantom magic sword passed down in the East, and it shone
with a graceful brilliance.
At the same time,
Nozomu's vision faded, and the movements of the approaching light arrows became
slow.
"Sei! Sei!
Sei!"
Nozomu, while stepping
into the approaching swarm of light arrows, swung the extreme blade he held in
his hand. With each swing, the light arrows were cut in half and scattered
futilely.
Furthermore, he
activated Flash Step - Curving Dance -. While quickly weaving through the swarm
of light arrows, he closed the distance to Azel at once.
"Mmph..."
"Haaaaaah!"
Finally having caught
Azel in his blade's range, Nozomu raised his katana.
In response to
Nozomu's slash, Azel deployed a barrier with a multiple formation. She showed a
stance of blocking Nozomu's slash head-on with a four-layered barrier.
Her expression was, as
always, cold and showed no change at all. Was she that confident in her own
barrier, or did she simply think that Nozomu's strength was not that great?
However, for Nozomu,
he had no room to worry about Azel's state of mind.
From the density and
number of the deployed barriers, there was no doubt that her strength was equal
to or greater than that of Rugato.
In front of Nozomu was
a multiple barrier reminiscent of the one he had fought against Rugato in
Irisdina's mansion before. The strength of the barrier was probably also
considerable.
An overwhelming
ability that was the complete opposite of her young, girlish appearance. But
Nozomu, without a care, swung the extreme blade he held in a diagonal slash.
"Deeeeeeei!"
Nozomu's "Phantom"
sliced through Azel's barrier, and one of the barriers had its formula
completely severed and dissipated.
It was certainly a
powerful barrier.
However, Nozomu had
understood from his battle with Rugato that he could cut through something of
this level with Phantom.
"!"
Azel's eyes widened
for a moment at her own barrier being shattered by Nozomu.
There were three
barriers left. Nozomu put ki into his blade again and quickly swung his katana
back, shattering the second barrier.
While maintaining his
ki blade, he tried to cut through the third.
"Insolent..."
Azel, who had frowned
in displeasure, cut the air with her raised hand. Then, the dissipated elemental
essence began to gather at Azel's side again.
"Wha!"
Nozomu let out a cry
of surprise. In front of him, the barrier he had just shattered began to
regenerate one after another.
But on second thought,
it was not strange. Although he didn't know who the girl in front of him was,
what she was using was undoubtedly a type of spirit magic.
Nozomu also knew from
having seen Shina's spirit magic up close. That magic, once a contract with a
spirit was made, required neither the chant nor the formation necessary for
magic.
"Kuh!"
While gritting his
teeth at the barrier that had begun to regenerate one after another, Nozomu
continued to swing his katana.
A repeated cycle of
destruction and regeneration.
To continue using the
ki technique "Phantom - Clad -" required a great deal of
concentration and ki control. On top of that, the ki-based body strengthening
was also rapidly approaching its limit.
On the other hand, all
Azel had to do was to command the spirits to continue putting up the barrier.
Although it looked as if Nozomu were attacking from the side, it was clear at a
glance which one had the upper hand.
"I don't have
much time. Shall I add another move..."
On top of this, Azel
made another move.
Azel's hand cut the
air again. Then, the barrier that had been deployed in front of her shone
slightly.
What in the world was
she thinking? While feeling a catch in his mind, Nozomu slashed at the barrier
in front of him with his ki-imbued katana.
Just like before, the
white wall was cut in half. However, the next moment, the shattered barrier did
not dissipate and instead became a blade and attacked Nozomu.
"!"
A swarm of white
blades slamming down. At the pain of his entire body being cut, Nozomu couldn't
help but grimace.
"Haaaaaaah!"
But the wounds
themselves were shallow, and there was no problem with his body's movements.
Even in the face of
Azel's barrier, which had turned into an offensive barrier, Nozomu continued to
swing his katana without a care.
With each slash that
Nozomu unleashed, a second and a third, the shattered barrier bared its fangs
at him.
The wounds sustained
from the shattered barrier were shallow, and were at most scrapes. However, if
they continued to pile up, it would be a different story.
As he was showered
with the fragments of the barrier, which were like shattered glass, many times,
his clothes became tattered, and blood began to seep from here and there.
"Guh! Damn
it!"
Still, Nozomu had no
choice but to continue swinging his katana. Because he knew that if he stopped
now, he would be trampled one-sidedly.
But it was also a fact
that he could not break through even if he continued to attack. In the end,
this was nothing more than buying time.
"Kuh! At this
rate, I'll be worn down..."
To break through this
situation where he couldn't attack, he had no choice but to release his ability
suppression.
But to break the
chains that bound him, Nozomu needed a brief moment. And if he were to stop his
hand for even a moment now, Azel would not miss that opening.
Although he didn't
know who his opponent was, he could feel that she possessed a bottomless power.
But more than that,
what was making Nozomu anxious was Tiamat, who was still rampaging within his
chest.
"Gugaah!
Gigigigigigigigi!"
Along with a groan
that sounded like grinding back teeth, the black dragon was trying to break
through the cage of Nozomu. Although it had been trying to trick Nozomu in
various ways since before, he felt that its voice was somehow mixed with an
indescribable sadness.
However, since Nozomu
had experienced the misunderstanding with Irisdina and the others and had cast
aside the option of hurting Lisa, Tiamat's killing intent towards Nozomu had
further increased in density.
And since seeing the Azel's
figure in front of him, it had been raging as if to destroy everything.
That fact made Nozomu
hesitate.
"...Damn it! This
is no time to be thinking!"
Nozomu forcibly
suppressed his own anguish.
It was clear that he
would be worn down at this rate. He didn't know what would happen if he
released his ability suppression while the interference from Tiamat continued,
but at this rate, he would just be toyed with and killed.
Then, no matter how
small the possibility, he had no choice but to bet on it.
In the corner of
Nozomu's vision, the figure of the fallen Lisa was reflected.
Pushing aside the
slight catch that crossed his mind, Nozomu put his left hand on the invisible
chain that bound him.
He then put strength
into it, trying to tear off the chain. At that moment, the corners of Azel's
mouth curled up slightly.
"Caught
you."
"!"
The moment Nozomu put
his hand on the chain, the barrier that had been deployed in front of Azel all
exploded with a flash of light.
While scattering sharp
blades in one direction, the exploded blast wave enveloped Nozomu.
"Gaaaaaah!"
Tossed about by the
blast wave, Nozomu's body was sent flying while being cut by the sharp blades.
Nozomu, who had been
sent flying about a dozen meters, hit the trunk of a tree and was thrown to the
ground.
"With this, it's
over!"
"Guuuh,
gah..."
Azel, in order to
deliver the finishing blow, created a giant light harpoon again and aimed its
tip at Nozomu.
Nozomu, who had been
slammed to the ground, desperately moved his body and tried to escape, but with
his body numb from the impact, he couldn't move properly and ended up on his
knees.
Judging that he
couldn't evade properly in this state, Nozomu somehow put strength into his
arms and tried to tear off the chains that bound him.
But Azel was clearly
faster in her actions.
When she swung down
her raised hand, the light harpoon was shot out with great force towards
Nozomu.
"Guguguuh!"
Nozomu desperately
twisted his body to somehow avoid a direct hit, but he was clearly not going to
make it in time.
However, the next
moment, a fire spear that had been driven in from the side directly hit Azel's
light harpoon. While scattering a fiery explosion, it sent the light harpoon
flying in an unintended direction.
"Wha!?"
Nozomu, who had frozen
with a surprised expression. He inadvertently turned his eyes in the direction
the fire spear had flown from, and a girl with her red hair flowing, her entire
body filled with magic power, was charging straight at Azel.
***
Lisa, while wincing at
the pain all over her body, could only watch the battle between Nozomu and
Azel.
At the sight of
Nozomu, who was continuing to swing his katana while being covered in wounds,
tears naturally overflowed from Lisa's eyes.
The sight of Nozomu
being wounded. That inevitably brought back her own sin, and her body was being
eroded by a sense of powerlessness.
In this case, she had
simply been caught up in Nozomu's situation, but the sight of the wounded
Nozomu itself was a scene that gouged Lisa's chest unbearably.
"K-Uuuuuh..."
Tears that were
overflowing one after another were falling onto the gray-dyed ground.
At that moment, the
words of the elf girl who had been looking down at her with an exasperated
expression came to Lisa's mind.
"Good
grief, are you an idiot?"
The incident where
Lisa's reputation at the academy had plummeted, and she had almost been
assaulted by a group of ruffians.
The one who had
admonished her, who was on the verge of abandoning her will to resist from her
guilt towards Nozomu and her self-reproach, was his current comrade who also
had feelings for him.
"Since
Nozomu wouldn't punish you, you wanted to be blamed by us at least... is that
about right?"
The blue-haired elf
girl called Shina had sighed with an exasperated look, having seen through
Lisa's inner thoughts.
On the other hand, the
one who had scolded Lisa with passion was her dignified black-haired classmate,
who seemed far removed from such words and actions.
"Are you
kidding me!? Of course there's a mountain of things I want to say!"
Her figure, as she
roughly grabbed her by the collar and rattled on, was painful, and above all,
filled with a sense of tragedy.
"But what
good will that do?! Even if I did, it won't wake Nozomu up! And
besides..."
Irisdina, who had
fallen silent after saying that much.
For her, it was an
inadvertent word that had slipped out. However, for Lisa, it was words that had
also become a trigger to wake her up.
Just how much had she
thought of him, how much had she worried, how much had her heart been on the
verge of breaking?
The image of the
bedridden Nozomu came to mind. Just thinking of that scene made her chest
tighten, and her breathing became difficult.
"You
don't want to betray him any more, do you?"
Their words that
crossed Lisa's mind.
Herself, who had hurt
Nozomu so much. That's why she didn't want to hurt him any more.
And if she could wish
for it, she wanted to reach out to his back again.
She knew that she
didn't have that right now. His feelings for her might no longer be there.
Still, even a little, closer to him...
But if she did nothing
like this, she would not be able to repay him, who had thought of her so much!
"!"
From the depths of her
body, which had lost its strength and had become cold, an unbelievable heat
welled up.
Lisa slapped her own
cheek with all her might, and at once, she raised the magic power throughout
her body and began to knead it.
"Come, blade of
crimson that pierces the heavens..."
Azel's consciousness
was now completely on Nozomu. She didn't seem to care about Lisa at all.
While raising her
magic power so as not to be noticed by the two, she continued her chant and
waited for an opportunity.
If she were to release
her magic carelessly here, it would only get in Nozomu's way. Rather, the
chances of her hurting Nozomu, who had a low magic resistance, were greater.
With the current Lisa,
who had no weapon, what she could do was limited. Nozomu's state was also
somehow strange, and he wasn't using the supernatural power he had used when he
had fought Ken.
To catch Azel, who was
using a powerful and alien power despite her girlish appearance, off guard, she
absolutely could not be noticed.
And that time came.
"Gaaaaaah!"
Nozomu was blown away
by the magic barrier that had exploded at close range. His movements, which had
been slammed against the trunk of a tree, slowed for a moment.
"Nozo...!"
About to scream his
name, she desperately suppressed her voice. In her line of sight, Azel, not
missing the opening, had created a giant harpoon and had aimed its tip at
Nozomu.
"! Now!"
She released the
suppressed magic power at once. A crimson shining spear appeared in Lisa's
right hand.
At the same time, her
ability "Nivea’s Demonic Hand" was activated. The appeared fire spear
instantly bloated to about Lisa's height.
Lisa raised the
doubled spear and threw it at once.
"Crimson
Javelin"
The flying crimson
spear directly hit the light harpoon that was about to pierce Nozomu. Along
with an ear-splitting explosion, it deflected the light harpoon's trajectory.
Lisa activated one
more magic. She cast a full-powered body enhancement on herself and stepped in
towards Azel at once.
"Aaaaaaaaaah!"
"Tch! Don't
interfere!"
Azel, in her
irritation, rained down a shower of light arrows on the stepping-in Lisa.
Lisa was swallowed by
the rain of light that slammed down like a squall. Her blown-away body was
thrown out from the kicked-up dirt and sand, along with a continuous explosion.
"K-Gah..."
Lisa was crouching
while letting out a pained voice.
Unlike before, she was
not moving an inch. It was clear as day that her condition was strange.
The moment he saw that
scene, Nozomu's mind went completely blank.
"Y-You son of a
bitch!"
Nozomu forcibly tore
off the invisible chains he had on his hand.
With the shackles that
had been restraining him removed, a vast, storm-like ki was released from his
body at once.
Immediately after,
along with an explosive roar, Nozomu activated Flash Step. He attacked Azel as
if he were a beast.
"Chiii!"
Azel's eyes widened
for a moment at the sheer acceleration, but she immediately poured all the elemental
essence she had into the barrier she had deployed.
A multiple barrier that
shone with a dazzling light. But Nozomu, without a care, drove his ki-infused katana
in at once.
While piercing through
two of the strengthened magic barriers as if they were paper, the tip of his
blade advanced towards Azel.
"Tch, to think his
abilities would increase this much... But!"
Azel's barrier, which
should have been shattered, was regenerated in an instant. It seemed its
regeneration speed had also increased by an order of magnitude.
The barriers that were
being created one after another continued to block Nozomu's path.
Piercing, deploying,
piercing, deploying...
In a single moment,
Nozomu's blade, while being blocked many times, continued to advance.
But its tip was
stopped just one short. Azel raised her hand and formed countless light arrows
above Nozomu's head.
"With this, it's
over...!"
Azel was convinced of
her victory. However, the next moment, Nozomu's ki blade exploded. Becoming a
spear that would pierce all, it attacked Azel.
Ki Technique
"Core Pierce"
The ki spear that
Nozomu had driven in pierced Azel's magic barrier in an instant and exploded.
Countless ki blades swallowed Azel, and then gouged out the forest in its path.
"Hah, hah,
hah..."
A silence returned to
the gray forest.
In the midst of the
shattered, dust-like wood fragments that were drifting, Nozomu was panting with
his back hunched from fatigue.
Nozomu was also very
close to his limit, and to be honest, just standing like this was a chore. But
a situation that would corner Nozomu even further occurred.
The smoke that was
scattering from the aftereffects of Core Pierce. From within it, suddenly,
specks of light began to rise.
The particles that
were dancing up like powdered snow eventually swirled and converged on a single
point. The gathered light gradually swelled and began to take shape.
Slender limbs
reminiscent of marble. Hands and feet that combined both delicacy and strength
gripped the earth, and wings that spread from its back covered the sky.
The smooth scales that
covered its body were a pure white, like snow. In its eyes, a rationality
clearly different from a beast's, and a killing intent, could be seen.
A white dragon.
Like Tiamat, the
species that had disappeared into legend was there.
"To think that a
mere human would force me to reveal this form... But with this, it will end.
You, who cannot properly master the power of dragon slaying, cannot defeat
'us'."
While looking down at
Nozomu, Azel directed an absolute-zero gaze at him. But Nozomu was pushing back
the killing intent that could freeze one's spine with a boiling anger.
He readied his katana
and glared at the dragon in front of him.
Before he knew it,
Nozomu's eyes were beginning to be dyed red.
""...Kill.""
While emitting a
killing intent from his entire body, Nozomu declared nonchalantly. Along with a
strange voice, as if overlapping with the being within him.
