Chapter 212: A Clash, Former Heroes

When I was about to head in the direction of the heroes, Akane called out to me.

「Takumi, I’m going too. I have a duty to face Akira and Yamato.」

「No, you don’t have a duty to, Akane. Their current situation is what they chose.」

「Even then. Let me fight with you, please.」

「Okay. Sophia, Lulu-chan, Maria, support Akane.」

「Understood.」

「Akane-sama, Lulu will protect you nya.」

「Takumi-sama, you be careful too.」

We mowed down the enemies that were being obstacles in our path as we hurried towards the former heroes.Finndd the newest novels on n/o/velbin(.)com

Maybe because we’re in a war right now, we didn’t stop to consider whether the enemies should or shouldn’t be killed.

We sent the enemies to their graves based on our justice.

Justice depends on where one stands, and they too had their own justice. However, perhaps their side and ours would clash no matter how far we go.

Let’s not forget the feeling of cutting through man’s flesh and ending their lives.

As it had become a melee, I switched my weapon to a sword, and Sophia to her sword and round shield.

When we broke through to center of the enemy camp which was verging on destruction, we found our targets.

Akane loudly called out their names.

「Akira! Yamato!」

「U, a, .........aa, kill.」

「E, enemies, kill, kill.」

Through repeated exchanges, the carbon content of Akira’s armor increased too much and it had become brittle. When my palm hit it when we passed each other, it shattered.

Now that Akira had been stripped of his armor, I moved to break his limbs to incapacitate him when, all of a sudden, the jewel inserted into the necklace hanging off of his neck flashed a bright light and Akira disappeared.

「Wha?!」

I was surprised, and when I looked towards Akane and Sophia who were confronting Yamato, Yamato had similarly disappeared.

At the same time, the soldiers of Triaria Kingdom began to retreat.

It didn’t take us that long to repel the soldiers of Sydnia who have lost their senses.

In the battlefield after the war, I helped heal the injured and clean the corpses as I questioned what those guys wanted to do.

The soldiers who raised their physical abilities explosively at the price of losing their sanity were truly powerful. In fact, the number of victims in the Trination’s army was not insignificant.

「No matter how I think about it, they were disposable, weren’t they?」

「Do you mean the soldiers that wouldn’t stop until they die once the battle starts, yes? They were, indeed. Despite being the enemies, they were quite pitiful.」

I purified the land that turned into a battlefield while talking to Sophia about Sydnia’s strangeness.

I was doubtful of the Pope’s intellect in using and throwing this many people just because he wanted to destroy the Sanctuary.

「......hey Takumi. Can we get them back?」

Akane, who was helping with the cleansing, was worried about the two boys who disappeared right in front of our eyes.

「............it would be difficult. But all we can do is try what we can.」

「Right............」

I thought it was more than likely to be impossible, but I simply could not tell her that.
