I Became the Hero Who Banished the Protagonist - I Became the Hero Who Banished the Protagonist chapter 122

122. Raid (4)

“I don’t mind. Where did the magician’s pride go?”

As Nella said that, two monsters were strewn about at her feet. I was still able to afford to deal with these guys. Edwin stands still at a distance, looking at Nella.

“To fight while relying on these monsters? Even though I’m not a magician who handles familiars.”

“I’m sorry, Associate Professor Nella. I’ve never had a sense of belonging or pride in a group called wizards.”

Edwin answered dryly. I wonder what happened to the magician of the 4th circle, who must have worked at the magic tower for 30 years, so that I could say that with my own mouth.

“Was it so easy to deny your years?”

“Time and time are useless in front of the absolute that exists. Nella, have you ever encountered an absolute being? Under those eyes where truth and lies are useless, have you ever lost the very meaning of existence?”

Edwin stared into empty space.

“If you face that… . Whether it’s 30 years, 300 years, or 30,000 years. You realize that it doesn’t matter. We just find out that we’re just a handful of dust. Whether it’s your years or mine, the queen’s, the warrior’s years… .”

Edwin then shook his head.

“It is said that it will become nothing more than the struggle of the insignificant. The same goes for disaster.”

“You are funny. To a subject that has never seen the toes of disaster. Don’t recklessly discuss disaster and destruction with that mouth when you’ve never tried to confront it.”

Nella retorted Edwin’s words in a cold voice.

“no way. I have that kind of discernment. Even if disasters are approaching, they know that they will never be able to reach their toes.”

While Edwin boasted, the monsters stood behind him without doing anything.

“It is a fact that you can know without having to go through it physically. You can tell which is bigger between an ant and an elephant without seeing it with your own two eyes.”

Nella frowned at Edwin’s attitude of blaming ants for disaster. There is no reason to listen to that human anymore. If there is something you want to hear, it is not too late to knock it down and listen.

“They are the ones who deserve to be called gods, Nella. Confused, incomprehensible, mighty, extremely stupid, but above all wise.”

Edwin then looked at the magical light that bloomed in Nella’s hand.

“Not a single bit of magic that we squeeze our hearts into, nothing compared to what their every breath, every step can do. Even if it is the great magic used by the 6th and 7th circle mages, it will disappear in one breath.”

jerk, jerk. Edwin approached the monster and put his hand over its head.

“Like this. like this.”

quadruple. With Edwin’s hand, the monster’s head was pulled out. Edwin’s hand, which had ripped out the monster’s spinal cord, was strangely tendonous.

“You don’t know anything yet. may not know forever How meaningless you are struggling, you don’t know what the true meaning of absoluteness is. Some despair when they find out that everything we were looking for was an illusion and that was the only way to reach the truth.”

Edwin threw the plucked head to the floor. The monster collapsed to the floor as it was.

“Were you dissatisfied because you relied on monsters to fight? If you’re going to show off your arrogance, you’ll only be able to talk about it once you’ve defeated all these monsters.”

“… Oh yeah?”

Nella’s mouth twisted up. Anyway, a coward who hides behind a monster and lays out the reasons why he can’t stand up to himself. Nella has finished constructing the magic. A magic composed by pouring mana equivalent to five rings. Among the magic Nella could use, the most lethal magic unfolded.

“So what about this?”

Contrary to Nella’s quiet voice, the magic that unfolded contained terrible power. A huge pillar of fire rose from the floor and consumed half of the 11th floor. Nella frowned as she felt more than half of the mana she had accumulated in her heart evaporate.

“Have you done it?”

Shouldn’t have said the last thing. Nella clicked her tongue as she gazed at the place where the aftermath of the flames had disappeared. As expected, Nella’s great magic burned all the tiny monsters to death, leaving no corpses behind.

“Do you know why I dismissed magic as outrageous, Nella?”

Edwin’s voice was grotesquely altered. A rough, muffled voice came out, as if talking after grinding the vocal cords on a grater. And Edwin’s appearance was no different from that of the monsters. He has maintained his sanity, although he has doubled in size.

“Where magic could never reach, their power makes it possible to reach in an instant.”

“… I don’t think it’s something I’m going to say because I’m such a f*cking person.”

“You don’t want to say it’s not the right way, are you? Have you forgotten what magic really is, Nella? Isn’t it to achieve something that humans cannot do?”

Black flames burned in Edwin’s hand. Even in the form of a monster, it seemed that he could use magic.

“Then, this could also be called magic. No, you can throw the previous magic into the trash. The teaching assistants you burned to death had the same thoughts as me.”

“… That’s a very pathetic statement, that.”

Although she was speaking normally, Nella was beginning to tremble with anxiety inside. Continuing battles consumed a lot of mana. And, the magical power that I could feel from Edwin wriggling his tentacles right in front of me was at least 6 circles. Nella has crossed the line far beyond what can be won.

“It’s a waste to burn these transplants, but Nella, you’ll have more than enough power to make up for them. How about you, why don’t you consider converting?”

“You wouldn’t be asking that seriously in this situation, would you?”

“Of course I am joking. Shouldn’t I have a chance to lessen my guilt before I kill you?”

Nella didn’t give up. I’m glaring, just once, if I can properly defend against that guy’s attack, I’ll have a chance to escape. I had no intention of risking my life here fighting like an idiot.

“Don’t listen to the will. Do you think you deserve that by defeating my transplants?”

Nella composed another spell. Edwin smiled as if he could see right through him.

“Is this the last resistance?”

What is the last resistance? I’m going to run away.

Nella’s eyes lit up as she searched for an escape route. Most likely is jumping over that broken glass dome. If you manage the wind magic somehow, you won’t be seriously injured. Edwin’s eyes followed Nella’s.

“I’m going to roll my hair… !”

Kwagwawang-!

A huge explosion occurred. Edwin, who had spread his tentacles vigorously in front of Nella, bounced aside like a cannonball and flew away. As Nella prepared to escape, her eyes widened as she stared at the dust-covered entrance. Reinforcements suddenly appeared at a crucial moment. Nella couldn’t help but think of the name involuntarily.

“Day… Roy?”

The name of the hero he stammered out. However, the silhouette seen through the dust was that of a woman. He’s a bit tall for a tower owner… . Who blew up those six circles of monsters at once?

“Why does Illroy’s name come from there?”

And, after the dust settled, what appeared was the familiar pink hair.

“Can you explain, Ms. Nella?”

Nella’s face turned red with shame.

—

only one sword.

However, by holding the sword in one’s hand, a hero becomes a hero. The holy sword attached wings to the heated body while being hit moderately. I smiled uplifted at the tingling mana running through my bloodstream. It had been a long time since he fought a battle with full power.

“The goal is suppression.”

“[Two words hurt my mouth. You’ve faced a rather troublesome opponent, Illroy.]”

I don’t have a headache. It seems to me that they haven’t seen each other yet. Natalie probably didn’t show her strength either. The expression on her face as she met me was still relaxed. Natalie, who was standing at a distance from me and giving me a curious look, opened her mouth.

“Is that the Holy Sword? The momentum has also changed.”

Tentacles protruded from Natalie’s waist and waggled like tails in the air. As if to prove my thoughts, black mana emanated even thicker. The opponent in front of me was still getting stronger, and suppressing it was becoming more difficult, but I was calm.

“Daphne.”

I spoke to Daphne who was preparing the magic behind her. He didn’t answer, but he seemed to be listening to me. Eyes don’t take Natalie off. I left a request for Daphne while keeping an eye on her feet.

“I’ll leave this to me, and ask for support from the 11th floor.”

“The 11th floor… ? Right above?”

“I feel the presence. The presence of a constant fight from above. Perhaps Nella is struggling.”

Daphne didn’t ask further and hid her presence. After a while, I was able to fully focus on Natalie. Natalie looked in the direction Daphne had been and gave her a puzzled look. It must be a question about meeting face-to-face.

“If we fought together, it would have been much easier to catch me. Professor Daphne is strong.”

“There are times when thinking too much is not good enough, Natalie. I don’t know if you’re a psychic who can read the entire battle situation and look into my heart.”

“Then can you tell me what you think of that, professor?”

I sighed. The conversation didn’t seem to work anymore. There was not even the slightest excitement on Natalie’s face.

“[That doesn’t mean you won’t give up.]”

of course. If I had been able to persuade them with words in the first place, I would have been able to edify them before this happened. I didn’t think this would be solved so easily. I grabbed the holy sword with both hands.

“[Still, do you still consider that guy to be your disciple?]”

… I won’t deny it. Even if I deliberately tried to judge and think calmly, I couldn’t do that. The evil spirit worshipers must have dug in exactly that point. Of course, I had to stop the damage from spreading. And, there was one corner that I still believe in.

“Let’s see the end soon, Professor.”

tentacles fly Didn’t move. The flying tentacles had power that far surpassed large-scale magic.

bang-!!

The floor just half a step away had completely collapsed. Don’t panic. I thrust the holy sword into the stray tentacle. Without the slightest resistance, the tentacles were severed. Then, without even blinking, two tentacles flew in.

Where have you seen this a lot?

A landscape in the fog passed through my mind. The movement of the approaching tentacle was not up to that of the Kraken. And I’ve already sliced those tentacles hundreds of times.

“It’s not that simple.”

cut

No matter how fast the tentacles became, no matter how powerful they became, the tentacles couldn’t even get close to me. After all, no matter how much demon worshipers fly and crawl, they won’t be able to create anything on par with the calamities created by the demons themselves.

cut again

A hint of astonishment lingered on Natalie’s face. I cut off the tentacles and slowly approached Natalie. Each time the tentacles were severed, Natalie’s eyes flinched, but she didn’t stop attacking me. Natalie seemed confident that I wouldn’t hurt her even as I got closer and closer.

“Even if you come so frighteningly, it’s useless if you can’t live.”

The last tentacle was severed by my sword. I stood just a step away from Natalie. I raised the holy sword and tried to strike it over my head, then cut it down. A knowing smile flashes across Natalie’s face.

“If you don’t want to kill me even if you cut off all the tentacles-“

hooked

My heart was heavy. The trajectory of the hand was slightly twisted and pierced the center of the chest. Blood flowed backwards from the mouth. I was expecting it, but it hurt like hell.

“It goes like this.”

“… yes… yes.”

I collapsed on the floor. Natalie was looking down at me from above with a smile. After she pulled out her right hand, it reached out to me.

“… uh?”

And, her right arm and leg, which had already been ‘cut’, collapsed to the floor.

“[Illroy!]”

suppression success.

Hearing the holy sword scream, I stood up and leaned against the wall holding onto the hilt. Looking at me from the side, Natalie’s expression was tinged with bewilderment.
