The Simple Job of Only Perishing to the Hero

Book 9: Chapter 33

What kind of situation you asklets see.

Even as Ykslaas was choosing the words to try and explain it, Vermudol advanced into the room.

That strange thing doesnt seem to be magic.

Thats right. Its technically a living creature after all.

Hou?

Vermudol repelled the beam of light that was fired from Chester, who had turned into a blazing tornado, with a Magic Guard Light.

And then, staring at Chester, Vermudol invoked Status Confirmation Magic.

Name: Chester Rozens

Race: Human

Rank: A

Occupation: Magician

Equipment: None

Technical Skill: Soul Eater (Form Transformation)

A Human, huh.

Looking at Chester, who had an appearance that was hard to say was Human even as flattery, Vermudol muttered.

Although he might be classified as a HumanWith him being like that, I dont think he can be called Human?

Well, hes a monster, isnt he.

After turning his gaze towards Ykslaas and Olred, Vermudol once again turned towards Chester.

The way he looked as he fired beams of light many times over at Vermudols Magic Guard Light, a broken toy was called to Vermudols mind.

I see. So, what shall we do? Not knowing that things true identity, I cant come up with the optimal solution.

That thing is the commander of the organization called the Staves of Light Chivalric Order, and a monster that deliciously ate subjects after doing human experimentation on them. I think that defeating him here would be for the sake of the country though.

Right now, Ykslaas didnt declare for the sake of which country.

However, there was no need to purposely say it. Having become an enemy of mankind despite being a member of mankind, Chester wouldnt be good for the sake of any country.

Putting aside if they just left Chester along and mankind destroyed itself, if someone were to add in the story that it was a scheme of the Mazoku to it, they wouldnt be able to ignore it even as the Zadark Kingdom.

That wasnt impossible. To begin with, it wasnt for sure that the current Chester would be recognized as a companion of mankind. Rather, there would probably be more people that would agree if it were to be called a Mazoku.

In the event that were to happen, there was no telling how the Zadark Kingdom would be seen by mankind.

The truth within the people would extinguish the facts, and not only that, but even the possibility that the current civil war of the Canal Kingdom would be made out to be the deeds of the Zadark Kingdom was by no means low.

That is why Vermudol nodded at Ykslaass words.

That is true. In that case, we need to quickly bring it down

Ahh, could I have you wait a bit on that?

After squirming her way out from Olreds arms, Ykslaas approached Vermudol. It was there that Vermudol turned his eyes towards Ykslaass chest.

Youwhat happened to your chest armor?

It broke. So, Im going to defeat that.

Broke you say. Youyou dont have any injuries, do you?

Nope. So, Im going to defeat that.

Seeing Ykslaas repeat the same line, Vermudol thought for a bitand ended up nodding.

It was because he understood very well that in cases where she ended up like this, Ykslaas wouldnt listen to anything else she was told.

I see. Do you have a plan?

Rather than just have oneIts more like Id like to ask that you maintain that Magic Guard that youve been deploying for a while now.

While looking at Vermudols Magic Guard Light that continued to defend against the beams of light that were being fired from Chester even in the middle of this conversation, Ykslaas shrugged her shoulders looking exasperated.

I got it. Is just doing this much alright?

Yes, its enough.

After answering like that, Ykslaas stood next to Vermudol and readied her wand.

After peeking over at Ykslaass hands, Vermudol returned his gaze to Chester.

Still, that thing looks like it would have other methods of attack butit seems that those abilities are beyond its control.

Its afraid. Afraid from thinking that by changing its attack method, wouldnt its own extinguishment would hastenFufu, its quite cute, isnt it.

After Ykslaas answered like that, she pointed her wand at Chester.

That movement itself, it wasnt something done with the meaning that she was going to start chanting now.

It was simply a declarationsaying I will kill you.

Light vanished from the world, and night came.

Darkness magical power gathered on Ykslaass wand, and the magic stone was dyed in the color of darkness.

A silhouette whispers from within the darkness to you, who desires the coming of another morning. Saying Ahh, ahh, how sorrowful. It was both a long and short association with you.

The spell that Ykslaas was chanting was a Darkness Magic that was even Vermudols first time seeing.

Hearing that chant that sounded as if she were telling a story, Vermudols interest was naturally attracted.

This place is already the world of night, the country of darkness. In this place, you, who are not a shadow, are not allowed to exist. Therefore, your voice will not resound. Therefore, your hands will not touch. Therefore, you will not exert any influence on all things.

The magical power gathered at Ykslaass wand became even stronger, became thicker, and accumulated an amount that would be unattainable for even the superior spells among the magic known as large magic.

Therefore, even your figure will vanish here. That, in other words, is your consignment to oblivion, your elimination. Once everything has been establish, feel ashamed of your unnecessary self.

Just how did Chester feel about the gathering magical power?

Chester, who had only been firing beams of light up until now, closed in on Ykslaas while scattering the things around him together with a thunderous roarand it was there that he was obstructed by Vermudols Magic Guard.

GaGAAA! HAnD iT OvER, thaT MAGicAL PoWeR! IF iiF I hAVE ThAt thEn!

I dont anything would happen if you did have it though.

Honestly, this guy doesnt know when to give up. Rather, your consciousness returned?

i aMThAtS rIGhT, thats right! I WiLl bE stronger THaN anyone elseIf I do that, if I do that, then I!

Within the tornado, something that resembled a persons face rose to the surface.

Turning towards that face which looked like it was crying and shouting, Vermudol calmly spoke bluntly.

Nothing will be established, from just being stronger than anyone else. I dont know what your objective was butfrom the moment you became unable to understand it, your failure was decided.

The thing that looked like a persons face within the tornado changed into an expression of anger.

Although it tried to break through Vermudols Magic Guard, the shining wall of light didnt budge in the slightest.

While that was happening, Ykslaass chant was completed.

There is no gravestone for you here, there is no proof of you here. Simply vanish into the distance of oblivionDarkelvishe (foreigner of the shadow world)

The magical power that was fired from Ykslaass wand spread out below Chester, and a black that looked like a large hole took form.

That, which looked sticky, extended out so as to capture Chesters body, which should have been difficult to even touch, and covered his entire body.

GAAAUOOO!?

The black, which encroached Chesters body with tremendous speed, created an ominous objet dart that had Chesters formAnd then, brought about a silence that made it seem like the thunderous roars from earlier were all just a lie.

When Vermudol and Olred turned their gazes to Ykslaas seeking an explanation, she gently lowered her wand and answered.

With this, its over. Within that thing, there is already nothing left.

As if proving those words, the black vanished as if sinking into the floor. After that, nothing was left behind.

Such a fool. To become evil even though it wasnt decided that he should be like thatI, am unable to understand that.

Vermudol silently placed a hand on Ykslaass head when she muttered that.

Looking up at what was beyond the hand that didnt pat her but was just gently placed on her head, Ykslaas slightly puffed her cheeks.

My head isnt a place to place your hand, you know?

Thats true.

Hmph, as usual, youre a guy where I dont know if youre being thoughtful or not.

I see.

After kicking Olreds butt, who did the tactful thing and turned to a different direction, Ykslaas expressed her usual smile.

Now then. Once we do a rough investigation of this room, why dont we go up. If we dont hurry, we might miss out on the royal fight between the fellow princesses, you know?
