39 - 40. The brave man and the stars were seen in the fields.

A demon tribe attacked my house.

They were after my brother.

They wanted to capture him and make him do my bidding.

"Ssshhhh... ......

Gaius has been slumped over and weeping for some time now.

He must have been really scared of the demons.

"I'm sorry I frightened you.

"No, you idiot! ......"

That's when it happened.

BOOM!

Something huge suddenly attacked the mansion.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!　What the hell is that?　What the hell is this?

Gaius is sitting up.

"Shards of wall and glass are floating in the air. There's no sound ....... What's ...... going on?"

"What, you just stopped time?"

Time stop.

It is a magic that stops time for a short time.

"You're a ...... absurd ...... reincarnation of the Demon Lord, aren't you, brother ......?"

Nice try.

I'm really a brave man reincarnated.

"Well, well, well... a meteorite attacked us..."

A huge rock, about 10 meters high, seems to have crashed into the house.

"How come I didn't feel any sign of such a huge thing approaching?"

"Maybe the demons from earlier planted it. It's given them the ability to hide things."

After his death, the meteorite was enchanted to fall.

"This country will be destroyed if it crashes like this. ......"

"No, it won't."

"Huh?　No, no matter how much time we stopped, it doesn't change the fact that we've already collided, and that's the end of it. ......"

I put my right hand in front of me and knead my magic with all my concentration.

"What the hell is this huge amount of magic power?

The magic I'm going to use from now on will consume a lot of magic power. Time Reverse.

At that moment, countless magic circles appeared around me.

They are designed to resemble clocks.

The hands of the clock start turning backwards.

"This broken thing is going to come back to life!　Meteorites, too!

The meteorite, which was on the verge of impact, heads back into the air.

The wall is back in place, and the meteorite has returned to the position it was in before the impact.

"What was that ......?

"What, you just magically turned back time by 10 seconds?"

The brother slumps to the ground.

"Well, let's clean this up, shall we?"

I stand in front of the hole that was opened by the demon who was blown away.

"What are you doing ......?"

"I'm gonna smash a meteorite."

"Ha, ha, ha. ...... What are you talking about, silly?　You can't do that. ......"

I create a sword and hold it ready.

<

As I say this, a Servant Demon King emerges from my body.

She glows black and changes her body.

It becomes a black sword.

<>

"Oh, thank you."

I hold up the black-bladed sword, which has few ornaments.

Knees bent, center of gravity lowered.

My left hand comes forward and rests on the blade.

Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin!

"A tremendous amount of magical power is concentrated in a single point at the ...... tip of the sword. ...... What is that?"

The magic power becomes black and shiny.

"I've never seen magic power colored before. ......"

"When you compress a huge amount of magic power, it becomes black and shiny. ...... Well, let's go."

I step forward.

I thrust the magic sword in my right hand out at super-speed.

Crap! ......!

A black light flashes around us, like when lightning strikes.

A beam of black light shoots out in a straight line from the tip of my sword.

Bigooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

The black light hit and pierced straight through the falling meteorite.

"No, no, ...... it just made a small hole. It doesn't mean ...... anything!"

"No, it's not. Look at this."

!　Yes, the meteorite [collapses] around the ...... hole."

Raggedly, like wet paper, the giant meteorite disintegrated.

Soon there was literally no trace left.

There was no impact from the destruction, no aftermath.

The night sky is calm, as if nothing had happened in the first place.

"......What was that?"

"What, the Ultima Sword?"

It strikes with super-compressed magic power.

It disintegrates everything it touches, one of the secrets of the sword saint.

<

After I've taken care of everything, I use repair magic to put the broken walls back together.

"Hmm?　What's up, little brother?"

Gaius stares at me with a soulless expression on his face.

"You're on a different level, ......."

Tears are falling from my brother's eyes.

"Are you okay?　Does it hurt anywhere?"

"Is it wrong to compete with such an alien creature ......?　I'll never be able to win, will I? ......"
