Chapter 78 - "KILL THEM ALL"
Chapter 78 - "KILL THEM ALL"
However, in fact, even in the long history of the world, there have only been a handful of times when she had the desire to kill a living creature.
The reason for this is that she was originally a lonely and quiet person, but the most important reason is that the magic power of death that she’s clad in is greatly influenced by her emotions.
To Isis, most of the creatures are far below her standing, and she can easily pluck their lives even without the intent to kill them.
Even the wyverns, which is a threatening monster for the Humans, are nothing more than a mere “hindrance” to her, and just a whisper would immediately kill them with her magic power of death.
Because of the power to cause the death of a living creature even if it’s unintentional, Isis usually suppresses her magic power of death as much as possible.
Even if she can’t completely suppress it, she was always being careful not to scare people away.
But now, Isis is using that raging anger, filled with killing intent that she never had before, to control the space around her.
The woman currently doesn’t have an ounce of lighthearted emotions like suppressing her power.
Those foolish beasts that have brought out her wrath…… The future of those fools will be judged by the King.
[………………”Die”.]
At that moment, the magic power of death from Isis’s body…… along with violence she was originally capable of, was released.
The magic power of death, filled with clear killing intent, was released along with her powerful words, and affected by Isis’s tremendous rage, it gives her targets a vicious and cruel death.
From the time those were unleashed, there was just less than a second before the Black Bears’ lives were hunted down.
However, in that short amount of time, the Black Bears would experience tens of millions of deaths.
The tips of their fur died, their skin died, their flesh died, their blood died, their bones died, and every single cell in their body died.
The moment of death, an irresistible and despair-filled death tasted within that extremely compressed time.
At that moment of death’s utter annihilations of their bodies, if there was still a shred of emotion left in the Black Bears, the beasts would only have one though—— Ahh, I’m finally dead……
The magic power of death, unleashed filled with her powerful killing intent, completely killed the existence of the Black Bears, not to mention their bodies, death was conferred even to their souls.
In other words——- It was a complete “annihilation”.
Just as Isis declared, not even a drop of their blood would remain in this world, as the Black Bears disappeared before her eyes.
However, Isis’s anger did not end with the annihilation of the beasts in front of her eyes.
Her magic power of death covered the entire Elven Forest, and ate away the targets of her rage, uprooting all the Black Bears in the forest.
In just a few seconds of time, the Death King had just said one word…… But today, as of this moment, the Black Bears that inhabited the vast forest, feared as vermins, became extinct—– from the Elven Forest.
All sound disappeared.
None of the warriors who had gathered to defeat the Black Bears, Lilia-san and the people around her, not even Razelia and Neun could speak.
That’s how overwhelming the power of Isis was.
Rightfully reigning in one of the top corners of the world…… A powerful person of a different dimension itself, where those beneath her could only feel hopeless before her power.
All those gathered continued to stare at the Absolute while their hearts were filled with fear. They are praying to the point of being torn apart, praying that they won’t have to be the next one to be on the receiving end of her rage.
After she finishes killing the Black Bear, Isis moves quietly towards Kaito, gently lifting his body up, as if she were carrying a fragile treasure.
[……Lilia.]
[Wha!? Y- Y- Y- Yes!]
[……Kaito…… I will carry him…… Where’s…… the inn?]
[T- T- T- This w- w- way.]
[……Unnn.]
Shaking to the point that she isn’t able to speak properly, Lilia told Isis the location of the inn, and after listening to her, Isis nodded before following after Lilia.
The existence of the Black Bear trashes were no longer within her head, and she only cared about Kaito, who was still unconscious in her arms.
[Looks like it’s all over huh.]
[Eh? What is?]
Shallow Vernal said as she put down the tea that she’s been drinking, while Kuromueina just tilted her head as she ate her baby castella.
[About Kaito-san being attacked by Black Bears……]
[Kaito-kun was attacked!? Hmph!?]
[It’s already over.]
[Eh?]
[The Black Bears were killed by the Death King.]
[Eh? Isis did? Eh? So, then, what about Kaito-kun?]
Hearing Shallow Vernal’s words, Kuromueina immediately stood up and was about to fly over to the Elven Forest with Teleportation Magic, but before she could do so, Shallow Vernal told her that it was already over.
[He received injuries, but he’s safe. His injuries have also been healed.]
[I- Is that so…… That’s good. H- However, in that case, where am I supposed to direct my anger?]
[I dunno?]
[I dunno, you say…… rather than that, Shiro! If you knew that Kaito-kun would get hurt, why didn’t you tell me!!!?]
Kuromueina looked dumbfounded by the fact that Isis has cleaned up the mess, and after expressing her sincere relief that Kaito is safe, she questioned Shallow Vernal, who knew about it beforehand but hadn’t told her.
While Kuromueina is clearly angry when she’s questioning her, Shallow Vernal doesn’t seem to be particularly concerned, as she indifferently replied to her.
[If I had told you, Kuro would be angry at the Black Bears, wouldn’t you?]
[Of course, I would! I’m seriously angry, even just the fact that I let Kaito-kun get hurt!]
[When you’re angry, Kuro would use magic to “hit” them, right?]
[Of course, I’ll hit them! I’m going to seriously hit them!]
[If you do that, not to mention the Elven Forest, “you would wipe out nearly half of the continent”.]
[……Uuuuhhh……]
After hearing what Shallow Vernal indifferently said, Kuromueina, who had an expression that said she was angry, didn’t know what words to say.
[So, I thought it would be less damaging if I let the Death King clean up this mess.]
[That is…… That really might be so but…… what were you going to do if Isis didn’t make it!?]
[I would just make the Black Bear disappear myself.]
[Ugghhh…… Geeeeeezzzzzzz!]
If Isis doesn’t make it in time, Shallow Vernal said that she will be moving herself.
As if she couldn’t find the words to refute her, Kuromueina just puffed up her cheeks and turned away sulkily.
[Mnnhh, it’s good that Kaito-kun is safe but…… I feel like I just burnt out. I can’t even direct my raised fist anywhere.]
[Then, do you want to fight for the first time in a while?]
[……When was the last time we fought again?]
[It’s been 3,465 years.]
Just as Kuromueina’s anger at the Black Bears seem to be building up, Shallow Vernal told her that as if she has an idea and stands up, lightly waving her hand to create a space where only she and Kuromueina exists.
Kuromueina also thought her idea was good so that she could vent her frustration, and after nodding her head, seeing the space created by Shallow Vernal, they turned to face each other.
[I’m not going to go easy on you today, alright?]
[When did Kuro ever go easy on me in a fight?]
[Speaking of which…… I never did go easy on you.]
[Well then, let’s get started. This fight that we’ve never had for a while……]
Just when Kaito was brought into the inn by Isis.
In a space where no one knows and sees…… Shallow Vernal and Kuromueina, the polar opposites of White and Black, were clashing violently as if they were venting out their stress.
