The Sended's

Chapter 34: How can the Man Die better than Facing its Fearful Odds?

"Wait a minute, what do you mean?"

"You know Rune, we've been adventuring for quite a while compared to you, we've seen a lot of things compared to you, I think and we think you should continue your adventure" Peter said

H-huh? Wait for... I was still a bit confused, when we had just met a while ago, not until a day. Now he's willing to sacrifice his life for me, why?

"W-what about Lina?! Isn't she just like me?"

"Dying against powerful witches like Diablo is a beautiful death for us witches, I might as well be able to learn some kind of magic for my provisions in the next world if there is,"

What kind of reason is that?

"But,"

"Rune, you have to keep living for us" said Feli

"That's right, that way our souls can rest easy,"

They are really serious and know that there is no hope because they have fought Diablo huh?

Hmm... But it's not bad either, if I go and come back here they'll be dead right? That way I can be more free to

Haha.... again I think of the benefits here, but it has been a long time since Kyouka explained it.

In the end I consider them tools, as they were before.

"Tck! Well I'll do as you ask," that's my answer

Even though I said yes, would Diablo be able to agree to Peter's proposal that doesn't make him profit? Even I think he's gonna lose for letting one of our thieves go

He seemed to be thinking about it, we just waited for the answer

"It turns out you can't, you've infiltrated my kingdom, stolen things, so I might just let it go

However, I can let you go from here on the condition that my royal guardian, Lyra will come after you. I don't care how you get away, but if you make it out then I'll let it go

I will not interfere in this pursuit, nor will my other subordinates. This is your problem and Lyra's,"

One of the few figures standing to Diablo's right and left stepped forward, so he was Lyra, a pretty girl with wavy blonde hair that was short enough just to sanpai the nape of her neck

She was wearing a yellow dress with a hint of orange at the edges, it made her look fit and pretty enough, but not as pretty as me hahaha!

Shit, I have to run, don't even joke at a time like this

"Run, Rune! With your skill you should be able to escape from that creature!"

I obeyed Peter's orders and immediately left by eliminating my existence, but well I guess it would be useless. Because this is magic, not skill, with magic also my existence can be detected and I realize that

So did Diablo and his subordinates I guess....

Where am I really supposed to go anyway? It's underground and there's no way out unless I defeat this thing

But there's no way I can do it anywhere near here, then the party can figure it out.

"When do you want to run? It's been more than half an hour, my master must have taken out the lowly group, you'll die here too" said Lyra who flew over me

He can also fly....

From earlier he had also attacked several times, but of course I managed to avoid by pretending to be difficult. He seemed to enjoy this pursuit very much, like a cat playing with its prey before being eaten

"Fulmen Vulnus,"

It was lightning magic that was cast into a sword and he slashed towards me so that a wave of rapid slashes appeared like Feli's arrows, then I couldn't possibly avoid it

Without ability....

|Accceleration|

I don't know, maybe what Lyra saw was me teleporting from the original location of her Fulmen Vulnus

"Ap-"

"Well, your master said he was playing around enough, that's what I'm doing now, too" I explained to him.

"How are you" I cut again

"I'm not an assassin, everything you know is a lie so you better leave your mind far away if you know everything about me, because actually you don't know anything,"

|Creation Magic|

I made a sword that looked very ordinary, it looked like Peter's but it was worse in quality because it was made with magic. Or it's just my excuse.maybe the quality is bad because my ability is also bad.

But hey, even the cheap dagger I bought alone could destroy Diablo armor with some buff magic right?

I really like the concept of magic in this world, it makes it easier for me to realize my wishes

"Even if you can avoid it, I still have a lot of attacks for you,"

"Yes, I know... But do you still have a chance to show it all?"

"What do you mean"

Starting from the tip of the hair to the part of his neck, separated from his body

Can't be seen, can it? You see, I've trained very hard and I'm dedicated to killing. Otherwise, it would actually weigh heavily on me.

The whole world seemed to be moving slowly, even the flapping wings of a dragonfly near me as it moved slower than the path of a slow loris or a turtle

So because I was curious, I tried to touch the tip of his wing slowly. And yeah....

The dragonfly's wings must have been instantly crushed in the part I touched, and the dragonfly itself also bounced away from my touch

The last of my hands, the finger that touched it slowly was broken and slashed like a knife wound. As a result I was unable to use my finger for a while, it was quite a bad experience right...?

I can't imagine if I step my foot when I use it then what will happen? I think it's gonna get worse

Therefore, in the past every time I used this ability, I would definitely stay in place and try not to touch objects other than weapons of course, with my limbs. To be honest it frustrates me because this ability should be used for a lot of things

And here I am, in the world of magic with the concept of imagination. I managed to create magic to protect my legs, yes, only limited legs in order to change position when using acceleration.

Back with Lyra, I cut off her head with my sword and acceleration. He didn't even realize it was because it was fast enough, but it wasn't my best speed either

I guess if he didn't underestimate me too much, he could focus and look at this attack, but I still remained doubtful whether he could fend off or avoid it despite having seen it

"Now, let's go back to your master,"

"Wait, you think it's over?"

Hm?

Well, he's one of the types of enemies I hate, he can reconnect the part I cut, it won't be that easy

"Master Diablo must not be bothered with his affairs, you will be here until you die,"

"Or until you die" I said

If this is the case then I conclude that there is no other way, I will use the techniques I used during the war against the Revolutionary Nonna first

|Sen-koku|

As the name suggests, I slashed a thousand times against Lyra, chopping her up into thousands of body pieces so that she would have a hard time reconnecting them one by one

Well I think it's his weakness, he needs time to connect his severed body

Only one piece I didn't cut, the jewel necklace she was wearing because it contained powerful magic, could possibly be a gift for Diablo

"I took this...."

"Hoi wait! "

He can even use communication magic

"I'll never forgive you if you bother Mr. Diablo, Hey- "

Communication magic like that requires the consent of the person who wants to be contacted, so I just close the line like hanging up the phone, that's what I do

Now I can leave quietly without Lyra's voice busy connecting her body parts.

The four bodies were lying helplessly on the arena floor, so they were already dead....

I feel guilty because even when I look at them now there is no feeling of pity at all, when can I change the way I think anyway? Then I can't be called a human

Then of course there was Diablo and some of his other subordinates, they were chatting and his subordinates seemed to be praising Diablo for his victory

Sorry but I have to bother

No need to directly, my presence here has also disturbed them. How can I be here, right? Where's Lyra? What the hell is going on? Well, that kind of question arises

Seen from their faces only, except Diablo because he wears a mask, they were all shocked by my presence here

"What are you doing? Why don't you try to run?" Ask Diablo

I walked towards the four former party members' bodies after me, looking at them for the last time

"Let's go, maybe I intend to die here,"

Maybe if they still see me, they'll be disappointed that I didn't leave. But their disappointment will be multiplied when I see my true ability, which I will show soon

"Maybe not, too" I continued

I took Peter's sword, flowed it with buff magic to add to his sharpness and durability

|Accceleration|

Then I headed straight behind Diablo to make the first move in our second fight

"If you still consider me the same assassin as before, then just sorry,"

"What"

I slashed straight into the nape of the back of his neck like I did with Lyra, aiming just like Peter's first strike just to measure Diablo's original ability

But, again my path was thwarted by that god damn thing. This time the reason was not too bad, I could even be said to be grateful to him

Wh why?

Well....
