Chapter 263 Winners and Losers 4

Part 2

For now, this misunderstanding...... I have to clear up this misunderstanding.

“The-The reason it hit me was because you have no contro――” (Cry)

Kryhi’s hair was *bachibachi* fluttering with purple electricity. It is a torrent of intense emotion that is causing this phenomenon. It is a scene that is common for powerful Magi, and I involuntarily stop my tsukkomi and take a step backward.

The 《Emperor of Lightning (Raitei)》 pointed his finger at me and shouted in a strong voice.

“I have decided, 《God of Lightning (Raijin)》――I will surpass you! I’m going to aim for even greater heights by mastering the ultimate technique of taking lightning into my body! It’s a pity that the Supreme Martial Arts Festival was canceled in the middle, but I’m so glad I participated! I have learned what is above me. The “Fox (Kitsune)” sorcerer――And you! I can become stronger! It must be fate that you and I, whose names are similar, met!” (Kryhi)

No, I am not. It is Ark who is the superior lightning user, not me. Moreover, typically, if someone wants to say that they are superior, they would say it differently!

I had a lot of things I wanted to say, but Kryhi was so flashy with his *bachibachi* sparks that I couldn’t say anything.

While I was idling, Kryhi’s excitement reached its peak. His eyes were *kirakira* shining brightly.

“Let’s fight again someday. I won’t forget. There is someone who uses lightning better than me! And let’s tell everyone, about the existence of the 《God of Lightning (Raijin)》, the one who surpasses the 《Emperor of Lightning (Raitei)》! Next time, we’ll fight a battle that will satisfy you――Until I can overcome you, I will entrust the title of 《God of Lightning (Raijin)》 to you!” (Kryhi)

For some reason, I got the title of 《God of Lightning (Raijin)》.

Now, it is not that rumors are nonsensical. It is that they aren’t even true. High-level Hunters really are a bunch of weirdos.

Kryhi turns away with a dashing and grandiose motion. He is going to run away.

Something............ I have to stop him――. Damn, I can’t get my thought together because it is so *bachibachi* *bachibachi* damn loud.

However, I managed to open my mouth and shout.

!? That’s not it! That’s not it at all!

Look, the Luke and Liz who have common sense, are *pekopeko* bowing their heads very low behind you. See, look behind you!

...... Could 《Strange Freak (Nageki no Akuryo)》 be, in every sense of the word, the exact opposite of 《Strange Grief (Nageki no Borei)》?

Maybe Kryhi doesn’t listen to people just as much as Luke and Liz do.

In other words...... Persuading him is useless? Am I going to become the 《God of Lightning (Raijin)》?

That’s when Luke, our problem child, stepped forward. That’s right――Luke! You also won’t lose when it comes to one-way communication!

Now is the time to smash Kryhi to a pulp!

I pray to God. And Luke exclaimed confidently.

“You don’t get it, 《Emperor of Lightning (Raitei)》. The reason why you are overwhelmingly inferior to the 《God of Lightning (Raijin)》――――You don’t get it, how to become stronger!” (Luke)

For a moment, I didn’t understand what he was saying. I couldn’t keep up with his logic...... Did you see that, this is our――Luke Psycol! Not Kool, but Luke Psycol!

.................. Luke, when did I become the 《God of Lightning (Raijin)》? You have been adventuring with me for a long time, haven’t you? Have you ever seen me control the lightning even once? Don’t be so easily influenced!

Do you have a sword stuck in your head or what?

Even the 《Emperor of Lightning (Raitei)》 who never listens, was stunned with wide-opened eyes, probably because he wasn’t expecting those words.

And then Luke said as if he was giving a sermon.

“Listen, the reason you lost to the 《God of Lightning (Raijin)》 is because you are relying on a Relic. Those training wheels are corrupting you! Just as the true strongest swordsman does not choose his weapon, a true lightning user should be able to control lightning at will even without a weapon, as proof of this, Cry has never relied on Relics! In order to become the strongest swordsman, I entrusted all of my weapons to Cry! If you’re aiming to be the strongest, leave that wand here!” (Luke)

TL notes:

Thanks for reading!

And that’s how “Cry” officially become Raijin and yoinked Kryhi’s Relic XD

Tchao à plus!
