Volume 4 - CH 4.6

Part 6

──So～mehow, we won.

He breathed a sigh in his mind.

Diablo talked as overbearing as he could.

「Fu……What is wrong, Baduta? Are you not going to come at me? In that case, I shall turn you into ash with my magic, you know?」

「Im, impossible……」

「To receive a shock once you lost, this means that you were that self-conceited. Your cautiousness was but a subjective impression after all.」

「Guh……Damn you……Damn you……」

「Hmph, there is no merit in using my magic on a fellow that has lost the will to fight. Go and receive the law’s judgment.」

Diablo lowered his hand.

Baduta glared at him.

「……You all, will end up descending into despair.」

「Hou?」

「Though, it is unfortunate that you will not be able to gaze at those faces that have sunken into grief……」

The opponent clenched his right fist.

──This guy! Does he still intend to fight!?

Diablo went into concentrating on his magic.

Baduta’s fist shined.

The opponent would activate his Martial Art faster.

「Duooooohh────────!!」

「In a simple clash, that depends upon level and equipment, there are no factors where I would lose.」

The 《Darkness Cannon》’s cannonball overcame Baduta’s ball of light.

It hit him as he was stiff from firing a big move.

「GobaAaaaa──────!!」

He was blown away.

Baduta crashed into the stone wall, and it crumbled greater than expected.

Even more sand came falling down from that impact.

Baduta could no longer move.

*Gishiri gishiri* The entire cylindrical room had an unpleasant creaking sound reverberating in it.

It seemed that a large amount of damage was given to the building.

Shera came galloping down the stairway.

「Diablo──!!」

「Y, you fool! Why did you come here!?」

「I mean, Diablo, it looked like you were in trouble!」

「The building has already started to collapse!」

「Un! That’s why we need to hurry up and get out of here!」

The choice of “saving only myself” had been completely omitted to Shera.

She picked up the 《Staff of Tenma》 that rolled on the floor.

*Dogaga* A large sound was heard from the top of the stairway.

When they turned around, at the place that Shera had just been standing at──

The entrance collapsed.

「Hya～～～!?」

Shera raised a scream.

If she had thought about self-protection and waited around the door, she would have been buried under the stones.

Diablo adjusted his breathing.

「Fuuー……」

Shera became teary eyed.

「Wh, what do we do!? Our way out is gone now!?」

「Let’s rush down.」

「Fue～!?」

「Diablo!!」

The one that jumped into his chest was Rem.

For the normally composed girl to become this emotional……

He instictively made a serious face.

「C, could it be, something was done to you right up until the end……?」

「HA!? What are you saying such foolish nonsense for!? Not even a single finger touched me!」

「Then, Lumachina was!?」

Going *Kaaaah……*, Lumachina’s face went red. Coupled together with her eyes that had been crying, a fairly dangerous atmosphere hung in the air.

「N, nothing was done to me! I was t, touched, and……licked……but……only that……I, haven’t had anything done to me, right, Rem!? Please say something!」

Rem talked with a serious face.

「……Let us hurry up and escape, Diablo.」

「Rem──!?」

Lumachina looked like she was about to cry.

The two’s mental care was important, but that was a story for after getting out from this situation where they could be crushed under sand and stone.

「Alter the place we should be through my will──《Adzett》ッ!!」

The altar levitated.

And then, the ceiling collapsed.

A great number of stones and a huge amount of sand came falling down.

Shera shouted.

「D, Diablo, help──────!!」

「Leave it to me.」

──My remaining MP……I’ll cram it, all, into this maximum magic!

「O atmosphere, roar, twirl into a spiral, and pierce through heaven and earth! 《Grand Tornado》!!」
