"Ugh, cough... hack."
I coughed violently, spitting up blood.
My body was in a terrible state.
I felt dizzy and weak, as if I would lose consciousness at any mont.
I forced myself to stay focused and took a deep breath.
"Sigh......"
It would be really nice to just lie down right now.
Unfortunately, the situation wasn't over yet.
Of course, I had protected Lucy, the target of the attack.
And I had neutralized all the assassins, but you never know.
This whole chaotic ss would only truly end when:
The Academy professors deactivated the banquet hall's barrier and entered.
Until then, I couldn't let my guard down.
"......"
I lowered my head slightly and looked down.
A charred lump twitched in my vision.
It t my gaze and let out a soundless scream.
"......!!!"
Did his neck finally give out?
No more sounds ca from the guy's throat.
His arms and legs lay scattered on the floor, ripped apart haphazardly.
All that was left of Robe were his torso and face.
I had only one step left in this sacred execution ceremony.
"......I hope this brings you so peace, Raiden."
I muttered softly and poured the remaining alcohol.
The viscous liquid soaked his head, and the guy twitched once more.
Whatever.
I took out the last match with trembling hands.
-Strike, strike
Perhaps it was because all the strength had drained from my hands,
but even striking a match wasn't easy anymore.
"Damn it... just light up already...!"
-Strike!
After several more frantic strikes, the match finally flared to life.
I let out a small sigh and held it up.
"...!.!!...!"
The guy saw and gaped, tears streaming down his face.
Judging by the way he was mumbling, he was probably begging for his life...
Well, I could just ignore him.
I lightly flicked the match between my fingers.
With a snap, a scarlet afterimage shot towards Geno's face.
"Ah......"
Despair clouded the eyes of the guy who had been gasping for air so vigorously.
A red sunset slowly descended upon the alcohol-soaked life.
It might sound a bit psychopathic,
but for a mont, I found the scene beautiful.
And so,
the sun set.
-Whoosh...!!
The small fla that touched Geno's body instantly grew, engulfing him.
His body convulsed every ti the scarlet flas flickered.
I looked down at it with contempt in my eyes.
"When you et Raiden's mom in the afterlife... make sure to apologize properly."
There was no answer.
Only the crackling of flas remained in my ears.
I etched the sight into my mind for a while.
As I watched a life turn to ash,
a familiar voice ca from behind .
"S-Stop it, Young Master Lishite...!"
Sharp yet gentle.
A beautiful voice.
The voice of our protagonist, Allen.
Allen's arrival ant that the situation with the Saintess and the Second Princess had also been resolved without any problems.
'Well... it's only natural. Those guys wouldn't dare harm the Saintess.'
Since I was at my limit holding onto consciousness, Allen's arrival was a welco relief.
He would take care of everything even if I collapsed.
With that thought, I let out a sigh of relief and turned my head.
As expected, Allen was standing there.
Dazzlingly brilliant blond hair, sun-like golden eyes, handso features sculpted by the gods themselves.
It was the usual Allen.
However, there was sothing strange...
"Drop your weapon!!"
He was pointing his sword at .
"......?"
Allen's face was a mixture of bewildernt, shock, and fear as he looked at .
The tip of his trembling sword was pointed directly at .
I frowned, unable to understand the situation.
"Suddenly, why...?"
-BOOOOM!!!
As I was about to voice my question,
a massive explosion roared through the banquet hall, drowning out my words.
Simultaneously, the barrier surrounding the building shattered, and the doors of the banquet hall burst open.
"The professors are here...!"
"We're saved...!"
The professors of Reynolds Academy had broken through the barrier and entered.
As I watched the professors rush into the hall, my vision blurred.
Ah, it's over.
I can finally relax...
Damn it, my mind is fading as the tension releases...
"......"
My barely-held consciousness snapped, and my eyelids fluttered shut.
My trembling body lost its strength and collapsed.
In my fading consciousness, the last thing I saw was a woman with flowing red hair striding towards .
It was Korn Ronezia, the principal of Reynolds Academy.
