Chapter 61-Eternity and Shadows

(TL:By Rafael)

The rainbow-tinged light cut through the sunset and stung Simon.

The rainbow-colored tyranny that was quietly sucked in immediately began to torment the immortal man.

"Ah ......! Ugh ......!"(Simon)

Simon flails about, blowing black bloody bubbles from his seven pores.

The limbs that had rotted away under the influence of the Prismatic Missile, the arrow of distorted light, were still rotten and connected, and the burning and melting body kept regenerating and melting.

"What's that, what's that, what's that, what's that, ......?GuruGuru......!"(Simon)

I avert my gaze from Simon, who is screaming and repeating death and rebirth.

"Marina, Silk. It's settled. ...... Let's meet up with Rain and the others."(Yuki)

"Are you sure you want to let it be...... like that?"

I shook my head at Marina's words.

"According to him, he's immortal. Besides, if he had a body that could die, he would be already dead."(Yuki)

I spat that out and tried to keep Simon's continued screaming out of my ears.

I was completely out of love for him as a childhood friend, but this was the first time I had ever tried to kill him.

Here, I felt strongly that I absolutely had to finish Simon off.

(TL: As rightly said by one of the reader's he a G)

It's the only way to protect my!...... friends.

"Oh, ......!Yuki! Yuki! What have you done to me?"(Simon)

"Come on, you two."(Yuki)

I didn't respond to Simon's growl, but silently urged Marina and Silk to go.

I'm not going to stay in this place for long.

"Goodbye, Simon. That magic, ......, will not be broken until you die."(Yuki)

"What the hell is this magic......? You're kidding, right? Yuki!"(Simon)

(TL: A Japanese Novel with a such a MC is rare most will forgive them but our Yuki gave him eternal torment)

I've created a complex type of weakening magic, the Prismatic Missile, which mixes multiple deadly poisons, pestilence, and breakdown magic, and circulates it through a curse so that it works forever.

I made it that way. I've been using my knowledge of alchemy to assemble a magic formula with just the right balance, put it to the test in Zalnag, and then adjusted it many times. ...... Just now, I saw the completion.

I didn't have enough "negative emotions" in that thing until now.

I've been defining it as a compound type of weakening magic and have been using it until now.

But now that I have received Persephone's blessing,......, I have the power to control the negative emotions I had hidden deep inside me as magic and as a curse, and the arrow prismatic missile of distortion glow has become my true nature.

"Help! Help! Help!Don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me, don't leave me, don't ......!"(Simon)

Simon stumbled and crawled to face me.

I thought there would be something more inside me seeing his face, but there was nothing.

No conscience, no remorse.

Instead, I didn't feel any better.

"Hey, I'm your friend, aren't I? If  this...... doesn't change, I'm going to... ......"(Simon)

"I don't care."(Yuki)

That's all I said, and I headed back to Jamie.

I left Simon there.

"How is she doing, Rain?"(Yuki)

"I made it just in time. But the wound is ...... deep."(Rain)

The earthy-colored Jamie opens her eyes and looks at me.

"Ha-ha, it's Yuki"(Jamie)

"Don't talk too much.We'll get you out of the labyrinth as soon as we've given you first aid."(Yuki)

"I am sorry. I can't."(Jamie)

"I don't see why not. You can go back to the real Finis and have another adventure when you're feeling better."(Yuki)

Jamie shed a few tears at my words.

"That's right! You can join Clover!It's all girls, so you won't have to worry!"(Marina)

"Marina, don't you have Yuki-san with you?"(Jamie)

"Why not? I'm sure Yuki will tell you that Jamie is one of us."(Marina)

That's a good idea.

There might not be any party that would let Jamie in if things got this crazy.

I'm sure she'll be a good companion for us, since she risked her life to save us.

"You want me to go with you again?"(Jamie)

"I don't mind. So just hang in there a little longer."(Yuki)

(TL: Hang in for the harem )

From the magic bag I bought as a backup, I took out a healing potion and poured it on the wound.

The wound closes with a cloud of blue smoke, but ...... soon opens again.

"It's not a normal ...... wound."(Yuki)

"It's the effect of Simon's magic sword. He said he was going to give you a scar that would last a lifetime."(Jamie)

"He's got a nasty habit of doing that."(Yuki)

"So, you know. I'm not going to make it. ......"(Jamie)

Jamie looked overwhelmed.

You're about to give yourself up, aren't you?

Where did the woman who laughed so loudly and made so much noise go.

"...... <Magic Destruction Dispel Magic>"(Yuki)

I lightly touch the bruise on my own  cheek and spin a spell.

I'm not sure if it's magic or not anymore, but if it's a wound that can't be closed by the effects of a magic tool artifact, then this will help.

"...... magic, it works."(Rain)

Rain's face lit up with joy as she continued to cast her recovery spell.

Instead, I felt a weird sensation from my cheek to my neck, but it's a non-human magic.

I can live with a little of that.

If I don't fall over like I did before, I'll be fine.

Jamie's wounds were closing up fast.

But it must have worn her out. Jamie soon fainted .

"The wound is closed. I think we're good to go."(Rain)

"That's Rain for magic . Okay, let's go home."(Yuki)

"We'd better hurry."(Nene)

Nene twitched her ears, looking a little nervous.

As the red evening sun gradually began to fade, several figures crawled out from the shadows of the dimmed ruins..

"...... Shadow People ,Shadow Stalker."(Yuki)

We haven't been found yet. But that thing ......"(Nene)

Nene pointed to Simon, who was still screaming and flailing around.

The Shadow Stalker jumped on him, and a mysterious force tore Simon apart.

"Ow!"(Simon)

...... He's immortal, though, so it looks like he regenerated quickly.

(TL:I swear I won't choose Immmotatly as my super power if I had a chance ,ofc.)

There was nothing more he could do.

Simon will forever be in the ruins of this decaying adventure city, tormented by poison and curse, torn apart by the Shadow Stalker.

That's what decided  to do. And now I'm going to leave it all behind.

On my own choice nobody else's.

"Goodbye, Simon."(Yuki)

"Yuki. Yuki! I'm... ......"(Simon)

The Scroll of Exit made us retreat to the Great Hollow before Simon's last words could reach our ears.
