For You This World I'll Destroy

Megistus Triad (3)

—54—

“How can you understand love when you live without seeing the blue sky?”

The words of Mentari resonated in my heart. I clasped tightly onto Big Brother's necklace, absorbing the magic energy within it to summon the black sword from the dimensional space. The catalyst sword Mama gave to Mentari, a very unsuitable gift for a Princess who loves flowers rather than fighting.

Artemisian.

“Lumina, tell me... how far do you understand me,” said I who slashed the sword and activated my zone.

In front of me, Lumina pulled out her magic wand and summoned her twelve undead. After knowing the truth behind this Yggdrasil tree, I understood, Lumina would never forgive me.

“The tree you brought into this world. The protector of various cities from Superadical Snow Storm is an Anima,” said Lumina who drew a magic diagram and summoned lightning that struck me.

Such simple magic will not touch me, apalgi with Artemisia in my hand. The sword that can restore all magic tests back to its original form, Mana that has no power.

Lumina darted along with a giant corpse that protected her from the roots of the darkness I called from the ground. The giant was protecting her very much, not giving me the slightest gap to touch her.

“Because, the princess grew the tree on the main spring that everyone used to survive. Arisia River, Lake Edmond and various other places. But for what?” continued Lumina who blasted the next attack.

One corpse spouted fireballs that chime with the vortex of another created tornado. A tornado of fire appeared, earth-burning scorched everything he passed. I easily slashed the magic, but two darting corpses wanted to slash at me behind the magic.

I opened my eyes wide, slowing down time and slashing down the two corpses without remaining. Blood was also pouring down my body. H-Huh, this is. Shit, that witch put acid poison in her corpse's blood. Hahahha, my skin is burned by it so it can't move. Great too, just wait time before—

BUCK!!!

Off guard, the giant corpse managed to throw a crushing blow that threw my body until it was glued to the trunk of Ygdrassil. Sharp pain stabbed my lungs every time I breathed, hahaha.

“Isn't that just a coincidence, Lumina my assistant?” I said, who then coughed up blood. The roots of darkness were slowly reassembling my body as before.

The sight that made Lumina laugh wryly realized her futile attack.

“If I were just an ordinary witch, I would consider all of that a coincidence. But I am a doctor and Homunculus who served the late Princess Mentari,” he said who then ordered the six undead to retreat and call a longinus magic circle that leads to me.

Cold sweat also poured on my forehead, my God, it turns out that all this time I have been storing monsters on my side. The baisa magician would not be able to summon the Longinus high magic alone, let alone three pieces with ease. No wonder, lumina became a Magistrate magic at a young age.

“So, from the beginning you knew my real magic?” the finger-picking question called out to the dark roots to protect me.

“Yes, you are able to control Anima, a monster that can use powerful magic, easily. That terrible ability is the reason why the Noctis Family hates and excommunicates you,” said Lumina who tried to brush off those dark roots, eroding my defenses, and so on,

“The lies that Noctis spread to the world to cover up that Clairysviel Adeola Noctis is the greatest magician of this time.”

Lumina swung her magic wand and hurled those giant lightning spears at me. A violent explosion destroyed each of my cells to nothing, creating a huge thunderclap that clawed at the sky and while fluttering the clouds of chaos that covered the sky. But the mighty power was unable to free the blue sky from the black clouds.

The brightest star is the fastest light to die, after the explosion disappears, giant dark roots emerge from the ground. He ravaged the land, overturning it to create a great earthquake. The giant corpse that protected Lumina was uprooted when it was struck by the dark root, shackled by it and unable to move.

In front of the Yggdrasil tree, I sat on my throne, crossed my legs and supported my cheeks looking at Lumina, who had survived my counterattack. Although it seemed, he was quite badly injured.

“Keep telling my assistant, what is the correlation between this Yggdrasil Tree, my abilities, and the truth that I am the real enemy of this world?” my many.

Lumina clasped her broken hand, enduring the intense pain. His breath gasped, as he said,

“...The words La Puella Dragonica... gave me the key that awakened me. Rumors about Moon Daemon spreading the Nyght plague. How stupid I didn't notice it sooner.”.

“Anima, the monster that can control magic. And the magic-controlling bacteria that caused the Nyght plague, that bacterium is none other than an Anima. Oddity why the bacteria only attack humans.all so clear now,” he said who swung his wand at me but was no longer able to summon magic. The mana in his blood was gone.

“Princess Noctis, with your strength, you were able to stop the Nyght Plague from the beginning. But you did nothing and let those people die!”

U-Ughhh! A sword suddenly stabbed me. Unknowingly, the witch swung her magic wand not to attack me with magic, but ordered her undead to secretly stab me from behind!

The purple liquid flowing in the sword immediately opened my eyes. The damn witch.

“Even the greatest magician is just an ordinary girl without magic. The Nyght plague cure we co-created, Antilivia, is actually a Magebane mushroom that snatches away someone's magic, isn't it?” he said he pulled out his dagger and approached me,

“Indeed the present technology will not be able to distinguish between the microscopic fungi livebane and Magebane. But, you underestimated me too much who had dedicated my entire life to finding her.”

I laughed with blood flowing from my mouth, “Araraa... Then, what did you achieve by killing me, Lumina? A vendetta? Will revenge bring back your family that ‘kubkill’?

Or maybe self-justification for your stupidity has helped my rotten plans, hmm?”

“Why should those words be spoken from the same face of the Princess I love?”

The hateful look of the lumina made me smile thinly. Just a few days ago, her beautiful eyes were looking at me with warmth. But just as the white pool was easily stained by a speck of black stains, so did the love Lumina gave me.

How easily human feelings are changed by painful realities. The sweet promise of her loyalty to me, now is just a discordant melody in the heart. Everything, everything, is just a lie.

I also now understand why until now only I can not understand love. For how could I possibly feel it, if there was no place in the world that would accept an evil monster like me?

… If I can realize the blue sky, will the world finally accept me?

“Lumina, little more you almost know everything. But you missed one thing. That mistake made you pay for it with your life,” I said, stabbing Lumina's heart and seizing the Quartz Megistus that became the core of the Homunculus.

The magician was surprised when he realized that there was not only one Moon Daemon around, but countless.

“Mama.. hehe, no, Esmeralda if atak is misnamed, thirty years she only gave birth to a child. But honey, his busy life made the little girl lonely. In his sadness, the five-year-old boy prayed for a friend who would accompany him for life,” I said, stroking the surprised face of Lumina,

“And that friend is us.. Black Company, Anima born from the prayer of the Mentari. We are the Yggdrasil Tree that protects this civilization and will end it. The Magebane poison only hit one body, out of the thousands I have.”

I took off my hand and let Lumina's body slump in front of my feet. Scrambling my ping, I laughed and said to the poor witch,

“You should have followed me earlier, found Arthur, and then you'll meet Quina. He will be happy to tell you everything. At least, there is a slim chance to win, if the three of you ally against me,” said I who looked at the beauty of Lumina's Quartz Megistus.

“Ideal White can only be realized when only one representative of the three nations, the Triad Megistus, remains. The Triad is none other than the Hero who represents the human race, La puella Dragonica who represents the Daemon nation and, you can guess not…

Demon Queen representing the Anima.”

I also show all the Mana that I have absorbed from the world. From the corpses of humans and Daemons who died silly by war or were consumed by the Nyght Plague, everything buried will be my strength.

Lumina laughed blankly realizing her stupidity, “... Princess, what do you want with all that power?”

I reached my hand into the dark clouds in the sky and said,

“Since the beginning, my goal has been the same. We, Black Company, will reach the blue sky.”
