Chapter 90

“… . Mazoku… . Kill…… . . ?” (Elen)

Elen said in amazement .

“… . Demon king of tyranny………kill……?” (Jessica)

Jessica muttered in an almost delirious tone .

“… . . Kill?” (fan union)

The girls in the fan union started murmuring almost incoherently .

They’re hearing it through the I have established with them .

Fumu . This is slightly bad .

Should I be careful?

“……No, hang on . Everyone! Don’t think about it! This voice is surely an enemy attack . Is it brainwashing magic… . . !?”

“Ah… . yeah…really…… What should we do?”

“It’s okay . Think about Arnos-sama, that should overwrite that stinky old man’s voice!”

“Un… . yeah… . Arnos-sama . ”

“Arnos-sama was so cool today……”

“We were told to give our love… . . I won’t wash my ears anymore!!”

“……Aah… . It’s not good……!” (Elen)

“Stay strong Elen . Wasn’t it you who said to think of Arnos-sama!?”

“……I know Arnos-sama’s voice is precious but even thinking about it makes me feel strange……” (Elen)

“……Is it an enemy attack?”

“I don’t 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

“Arnos . Just now . ” (Misha)

“Did you hear it as well?” (Arnos)

I feel her nod .

It must be because they are connected through .

“Ma.s.s of hatred . ” (Misha)

That’s 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 .

Didn’t Heine say they could hear the voice of the hero Kanon? I’m a.s.suming this is what he meant .

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

“…… . Arnos VoldiG.o.d……” (Ledoriano)

Ledoriano speaks in a gloomy voice . He’s still got his lifeless eyes but somethings different .

To borrow Misha’s words he’s in a cage of hatred .

Looking over I see Zeshia who was blown away by 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 aren’t the demon king of tyranny your power is still dangerous and someday, surely, that power will threaten humanity… . . ” (Ledoriano)

Ledoriano voice sounds like someone who’s let go of their sanity .

Zeshia doesn’t 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)

“Don’t 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 who’s behind me .

“Zeshia listen . Stop that magic right now . You will not get the results you’re expecting . ” (Arnos)

Ignoring my advice Zeshia rushes in .

“Are you finally scared? This is the end Arnos VoldiG.o.d . You should realize the resolve of a hero . ” (Ledoriano)

Zeshia closes in on me .

You don’t have to speak to use that magic but Ledoriano spoke out the name of the spell for the silent Zeshia .

“Origin Light Destruction Explosion !!” (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 .

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

It’s 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, Ledoriano’s 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 can’t 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 to suppress the origin explosion .

has a wide range and normally I would have temporarily retreated using because as long as you are not at ground zero you can defend against it . It’s still powerful but doable .

The issue was that even if Ray and Sahsa managed to survive I wouldn’t 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 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 won’t 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 .

dyes the area white again and again I suppress it with my

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 doesn’t seem to be a limit . ” (Arnos)

isn’t a magic I can deal with lightly . I must locate the reason this fellow keeps coming back .

If she won’t die from using then she’s 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 that isn’t coming from the heroes side .

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

is cut off .

“Eleonor?” (Misha)

“I can’t 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 it’s okay then it is .

“I’ll go . ” (Misha)

“Understood . I’ll suppress this fellow . ” (Arnos)

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

“… . . Tsu… . !” (Zeshia)

“You’re a dull fellow . How many times are you going to blow yourself up?” (Arnos)

I cast Time Manipulation on stopping the magic itself and preventing the origin explosion .

“Fumu . It hasn’t completely stopped?” (Arnos)

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

“Be careful . ” (Misha)

“You too . ” (Arnos)

Misha nods and uses
