A Little Desire Of Anti - Hero

Arc I - Chapter 2: Destroyed - 2

With a breath that the knight let out, the surroundings in if became quiet.

“Indent.”

With that, waves of powerful sword blade-shaped energy were unleashed. On a scale wide enough to be able to comb around, with the golden luster light it carried, a terrifying destruction ensued.

A wall from the ground formed in front of Rion's mother, though she was unable to use magic other than water magic. Thanks to his special abilities, he was able to survive by forming shields from surrounding objects.

However, the thing that made him surprised was the speed of the knight doing chanting spells. This speed was very much different from what he had seen, but with a little bit of his experience in the past, he adjusted quickly.

“Ohh, she can survive from it?” said the knight who did not expect this to happen. Moments later he nodded, before muttering, “Hm, he proved the ability he has, he is a worthy person to be able to say my name.”

The knight stuck his sword on the ground, while taking a ready body position typical of what a knight did in the palace.

“Sorry for before for not wearing yourself. Meet me from the Arcanum Corps, the Eugary Empire Expeditionary Force, Raymond! My family name is not worth mentioning, hereby saying this name vows to beat you!”

“Oo ..!” cheers from the soldiers filled the battlefield as soon as the declaration was made.

Although Rion's mother did not know the meaning of what the knight who declared himself Raymond did. However, seeing that the morale of the troop that had previously plummeted rapidly, he knew for sure this was not a good thing for him.

He glanced at the path that people were supposed to use to save themselves, hoping to be anxious that Rion immediately ran away. However, his son was still there.

Thinking of a way to force her son to escape, Rion's mother begins an attack. Water bubbles immediately formed around him, before launching an attack with thinner thinness than needles and very dense compression thanks to the special ability he had.

The waterway cut what he passed in half without much difficulty, but saw Raymond still acting calm. Rion's mother was completely unable to loosen her guard even though her body had approached its limit.

“Oo Blessed of The Gale Force,” The wind blows fiercely as Raymond begins to move. Together with the wind element that enveloped the body, causing its speed to increase rapidly.

Trying to avoid the attack by Rion's mother, Raymond shortens the distance between them. After all, the fatal weakness a mage naturally had was close combat, and he was trying to exploit the gap.

The golden light on the sword in Raymond's hand glowed even brighter, as he loaded more mana on his sword. “Falls Down.”

Behind Raymond, nine swords were entirely made of bright glowing energy. Along with the swing that created the energy blades along its trajectory, the swords shot out at a speed that would be unable to be caught by the eyes of normal people.

The ground around Rion's mother was gouged out, with chunks of rock now afloat, trying to resist the oncoming attack.

Immediately a boom after another thunderous boom rang out, along with the light of the energy explosion that flooded the eyes.

Clouds of dust formed, along with small falling rocks. Not wasting the momentum he had, Raymond tried to narrow the distance with his opponent quickly.

However, a few steps he took sharp blades rained down. Revealing the cloud of dust, with a purple aura enveloping her body, Rion's mother forced herself to endure.

This is one form of use [Force Field], which forces the energy that is around to be supplied to the user's body, then converted into an acceptable source of energy of living things, where. With that, the recovery of Rion's mother's physical condition increased explosively.

However, on the other hand the extreme pain, from the burden of the body cells that are destroyed because they are unable to withstand the excess supply of mana, which, but the increased body recovery quickly regenerates the cells before they are completely destroyed.

Before Raymond could recover from his shock, the attack, which he could say was one of the most devastating of his techniques, could be sustained without any visible physical injury.

Raymond put on a slight smile. “Huh .. with this I found a decent fighter. Let's decide who defends the truth that we believe in!”

Despite being able to hear what Raymond said, Rion's mother did not want to respond in any word. Instead, he quickly launched another attack, hoping that his foolish son would understand the situation he was in now and escape immediately.

The rapidly swinging sword, the floating rocks that became the shield, as well as the occasional high-compressed water magic attacks released continued to take place. With the environment now severely damaged leaves no form that can prove that a village once stood here before.

“Is this the only thing you can do?” asked Raymond in a disappointed tone. “How can you defend the truth that you believe in with this weak force?!”

“Be quiet.”

“Huh ... Then I will end.”

“....”

Seeing that his opponent was completely unable to launch an attack that could prove his determination. A sigh came out from Raymond's mouth, it seemed like he was expecting too much from his enemy this time around.

“So it's just this, is it?” Raymond took a stance, his sword held high.

“Be proud that I use this technique.” Along with the arrogant words he said. The energy flow around became wild.

“Emperor Swordmanship’s: ...,” The temperature around has risen by several degrees along with the chanting done, an energy shadow that shows thousands of sword blades ready to point at their opponent is formed. “... 9th Style, The Qonquest!”

The energy shadow was finished materializing with a crushing force, a heavy burden felt pressing down on Rion's mother's shoulders. However, all of those things he ignored, he ran to the place where Rion was still.

“Force Field: Force of Absolute Fortress!” his shout cast a spell, trying to realize the form of his special ability more quickly.

Unlike the calm look he had been maintaining all this time, anxiety, caring, and sadness clearly sounded from the tone he let out.

Purple light was visible, twinkling filled his surroundings. The light connected together, forming a sturdy barrier right before him.

Is beautiful. Light full of beauty filled the sky, making people who see this panorama become empty for a moment, pensive about its beauty.

Zrat Zratt Zrattt Zrattt

Wound after wound suffered by Rion's mother. The entire supply of mana that was previously used to regenerate his wounds, he now focused on building a barrier. Thus, his destroyed cells could no longer regenerate.

“MOTHER?!” Rion shouted as he looked at his mother's condition. Wounds now filled his mother's body, making his body now drenched in fresh blood.

“Stupid child ...”

Crak Crak Crak Crak Crak

Cracks began to appear on the barrier that Rion's mother had created.

Rion's mother's eyes were slightly red, trying to hold back the emotions that were now flooding her, she said softly, “Rion, you know now ..

“No! If Mother does not exist .. hiks .. if Mother does not exist .. I—“

“Listen to Mom this time only!”

“...” Rion silent. Her tears would not stop, even if she did not want to, she realized, maybe this was her mother's last words.

“Even if mother does not exist ... Rion ...”

BOOM!

The explosion happened, deafening to anyone who heard it. But in Rion's ears there was only one sound that was excited. “... LIVE!”
