“Chapter 323: All-out War”

– …Did you just say… “Friend”?

– Yeah!

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.

How is she capable of saying something like that after all she’s done to me?

Not just me, my friends had bags under their eyes. They must’ve been working hard trying to find me.

This wasn’t a matter of a few hours. I spent months inside that whale.

They must have so much power that they feel like they can do anything.

One of my objectives is to find a way to go back to my world. They might know a thing or two.

But still.

– No f̲u̲c̲k̲i̲n̲g way. (Takaya)

– Aw, why not? Come on. This world will be much more fun with us. (Nayuta)

– “Us”? (Zenya)

– Zenya-kun, no one likes a tsundere boy.

– No, I think I’ve made it pretty clear that I hate his guts. Whatever. You’re wasting your time here. (Zenya)

I can’t wrap my head around it. The boy aside, everything this girl says is strange.

– I don’t care what you say. My answer won’t change. No.

Zenya’s brows furrowed.

– YOU ASKED FOR IT. (Takaya)

Frost covered the kids’ feet. It was me, creating Moonflower again.

My magical circuits must be in shreds, but I can still pull this off. My time inside the whale wasn’t all for nothing.

– CRUSH THEM TO PIECES. (Takaya)

– This is how you treat us? We came here all the way just for you. You’re gonna make our feet go pale. (Nayuta)

– SHUT UP. This is nothing compared to what you’ve put us through!

– Yeah, you’re right. Ignition.

Nayuta snapped her fingers. The ice storm surrounding us evaporated into the air in the span of a second.

– Hey, unfreeze me too. It’s already up to my waist. Do you want me to become an ice sculpture? (Zenya)

– Why don’t you use your own ability then? (Nayuta)

– Against these guys? Don’t make me lau-

A giant blade was pressed against Zenya’s throat.

– Hm?

– I’m tired of you, little chipmunks. I’m gonna teach you a thing or two. (Kouya)

7th Cycle sliced Zenya’s neck in a straight line.

– a…a… (Zenya)

– What was that? Come on, speak up. Tell us how you’re feeling right now. (Kouya)

The royal vampire’s red eyes were burning a hole in Zenya’s severed head.

– Oh wow. So there are others apart from Takaya capable of moving… That was a bit rude, Tozaki Kouya. (Nayuta)

– So you know my name. I take it you’re even older than us.

– I have not the slightest idea what you might be talking about. Hahaha!

She’s not scared at all. What is her ability that she’s so confident in?

– Whatever. I’d love to see you glued to the ground like the pests you are. Raise!

Kouya, having transformed into Zezekiel, generated a powerful gravity field around Nayuta.

– Gravity magic, huh? That’s annoying. (Nayuta)

– Still good enough to talk, huh? Guess what, I’m only using 10% of my power.

However strong the girl is, she doesn’t stand a chance against someone like Kouya.

– Heh, heheh, woah, that’s amazing. Poor little me can’t do anything. (Nayuta)

– I’d love to see you begging for your life on your knees, but I’d rather crush your head before you’re able to speak another word. (Kouya)

The Thundercloud Boat, sturdy enough to withstand the recoil from the cannon, was now cracking due to Kouya’s power.

Nayuta has fallen. She’s unable to keep standing and is now on all fours.

– You’re very mean. We came here just to invite Takaya-kun.

– Try again in your next life then. (Kouya)

– Rude. (Nayuta)

The demon ruler, now back to his original form, swung his scythe aiming right at the girl’s neck.

But it stopped right before hitting its target. In fact, it felt as if all time had stopped.

– …!?

– What’s wrong, o’king of the demons? I thought you wanted to take revenge. Whoops, my bad, you can’t talk with your head severed, right? (Zenya)

I couldn’t believe my eyes. Kouya’s decapitated body was on all fours on the ground, covered in blood all over. His head was lying on his feet.

– Reversal. Nayuta, cut it out. I’m sick of this already. Let’s get it over with.

– Ahaha, sorry, sorry. But you wanted to get back at him too, right?

– Not at all. I just wanted to show them firsthand what happens when you rebel against the chosen human.

Zenya said so while stepping on Kouya’s severed head.
