Young Hero
"――Anything and everything, disappear(Deny All Existences)"
At that instant, sound of *boba-* could be heard from the three apostles holding down Hajime and they were bisected into two, upper part and bottom part. And then, right after that they were further torn to pieces left and right, top and bottom, left and right, in less than a few seconds they had turned into smithereens.
There was no blade, but even if there was one, the impossible phenomenon shouldn't be called bisection but should be called as dispersion in linear shape instead. Everybody was speechless, all of them only opened their eyes wide without moving. It was at that time magic power burst out thunderously.
A torrent whirled with Hajime at the center, however it was far different pared to his usual vivid crimson, it was a darkish red color of blood that looked poisonous. And this abnormal state of his was also conveyed to all the people in the audience hall whether they wanted it or not.
Hajime was slowly standing up in the middle of such situation. With a face that was pale like a ghost from losing blood, he exposed an expression even more inhuman than the apostles, *plop, plop* blood was dripping down…
Myuu who was right beside Hajime was covering her face with her hands to protect her face from the dark red magic power flow that was like a local storm while raising a small scream "kyaah". It looked like she would be blown away backward soon, but right after that, the floor under her feet crumbled as though it was dispersed where Myuu then fell there.
"H, hmph, pointless effort. I mand under the name of Aruvheit, knee――, ah, igi, aaAAAAAAAAAAAAA-!!"
Aruvheit somehow pulled himself back together and tried to stop Hajime using 'Divine Statement'. But, before he could finish his mand, without any previous sign whatsoever Aruvheit's both hands were severed neatly from his shoulders.
Even when Aruvheit's forehead was shot before this he was still keeping his calm somehow, even when his four limbs were shot through he didn't scream at all, far from that he even recovered instantly, yet now his expression distorted in intense pain while shrieking.
In his eyes, there was not only agony but also strong bewilderment dwelling there. He was pletely unable to understand the reason of how he was getting a damage that made him felt intense pain.
The two hands of Aruvheit that was cut away were rotating in the air from the recoil when they were cut. And then, at the next moment those arms raised *boba-* sound just like the apostles before and turned into small pieces, and then the pieces vanished just like that without leaving even dust behind.
"Wha, what is-. What is happening!? This is, just what in the world-"
"Aruvheit-sama. Please stand back. A really fine string….no, something like a chain is dancing in the air. It will cut anything it touched ignoring any defense and erased them."
"Wha, what did you say-"
If Hajime had that kind of stupidly powerful artifact like that then there was no way Ehito would overlook it, also, if Hajime had that, then it should be better if he used it when fighting Ehito…if that was the case, then why was that kind of thing only came out now that the situation had turned like this.
Aruvheit's confusion was deeper than anything he had ever felt, his deadlocked mind caused his body to stiffen. He couldn't find any answer, there was no way he could give any instruction, even reacting might be something out of his capability right now, he was merely opening his eyes wide, his mouth closed and opened wordlessly, for a god he looked really unsightly.
One of the apostles opened her mouth to further urge Aruvheit to step back toward the safe area.
"We, the apostles will face the irregular. Before more wound than this is inflicted on your honored person――"
"Hiih"
But, before the apostle could finish talking she was cut into centimeter sizes in front of Aruvheit and vanished too quickly. The abnormal scene of the prided 'apostle of god' created in Holy Precincts to get instantly killed like that made a pathetic scream to rise from Aruvheit unintentionally.
Even while that was happening, the apostles moved altogether and rushed at Hajime, they slipped through the red blood tornado and got cut by the superfine red chain running in the air, or they got entangled by the chain and like that they were annihilated as though they got disintegrated.
The chain with a diameter of one millimeter clad in blood red magic power――this was something Hajime transmuted into minuscule links from the stone floor (the stone floor used especially sturdy mineral as architecture material), he then covered the chain with magic power and then controlled it using 'Remote Operation'.
At this time, perhaps from overwhelming hatred, rage, and possibly a sense of emptiness, Hajime was awakened to two derivative skill of transmutation. One of the skill, 'Imagination position' made Hajime able to use transmutation without needing a magic circle. That was also the reason of how regardless of the constant vigilance of the apostles holding down Hajime they were still taken by surprise.
But, if this was just merely a chain, then it shouldn't be unable to do things like granting anguish at Aruvheit or surpassing the disintegration ability of the apostles and annihilated them.
The cause that brought about such cheat was…as clear as day.
Concept magic――'Deny All Existences'.
In this world where Yue was gone, he wouldn't recognize the worth of the existence of every single thing. He wouldn't tolerate anything for daring to exist. Anything and everything, all without exception…
――Disappear
Hajime who had Yue stolen from him felt bottomless fury and hatred, and then saturated with those emotions he reached an overwhelming sense of emptiness. This emptiness was the exact opposite of the will of the utmost limit that was born from his longing to his birthplace when they created the crystal key. Be that as it may, this emptiness was without doubt a culmination of an emotion.
The result was literally was an ability of 'erasing the existence of what is touched by the chain' which even calling it atrocious was still too lukewarm to do it justice. With the power of 'interference at the target's information' of sublimation magic as the base, this ability overwrote the information of the target that said 'exist' into 'doesn't exist'.
Riding the torrent of the magic power of 'Supreme Break', the chain circled at Hajime's surrounding, it was just like an incarnation of 'curse' toward all living things.
The apostles and monsters even raised their war-cry as though to drive off the fear, horror, and despair, but even their strong spirit came to nothing, without any exception their existences were easily erased. The spectacle of those apostles helplessly vanishing like mist looked just like a joke.
The time it took until the apostles remaining in the audience hall were annihilated didn't really take that long.
Also, the surviving several monsters ignored the order given to them by an age of god magic, they obeyed their instinct and tried to run away but…
Chain wrapped in red light meandered like a snake while flying, in an instant the chain was closing in and in an instant the monsters' body was repeatedly cut to pieces before vanishing pletely.
All those was done by just one person.
The face of Aruvheit who was left alone was twitching greatly while he was slowly drawing back.
(No way-. That power is dangerous! I have to tell this to my lord no matter how-)
Aruvheit endured the pain on his shoulders while attempting to escape from the hole in the ceiling. On the way, his gaze and magic power moved at Shia who was staring at Hajime with dumbfounded expression while she was still lying on the floor. It was for the sake of making her as a shield in a preparation of the worst case. Just like what he did to Myuu, he planned to crucify Shia in the air and carried her.
However,
"…Where are you planning to go?"
"-…"
That scheme was crushed by the sound of cutting wind and a voice that sounded like it was creeping from the earth. When Aruvheit strained his eyes, he could see that between he and Shia there was the superfine chain tearing the air like a wind blade going back and forth.
Aruvheit didn't answer, he gave up picking Shia as a shield, then he fired flame sphere at Hajime as a smoke screen while leaping away.
But that too,
"You bastard-!"
At the ceiling hole, the chain had already been laid out in a grid shape, making an escape as something difficult. Aruvheit cursed out as though to distract himself from the unease that suddenly heightened inside him.
And then, this time he turned his gaze at the direction of Aiko and others. As expected he was surely thinking that hostage was necessary.
However, at the next moment chain stretched lightly to that direction too. Aruvheit unintentionally moved his gaze at Hajime, there, there was no trace of the flame sphere he fired or anything, Hajime who was standing still like a ghost at the center of the red tornado was fixing eyes of the abyss at him.
He shuddered, something crawled Aruvheit's spine.
"Do, don't screw with me-. You fools who opposed god! Something like the lives of you lowlifes is equal to trash――"
Perhaps to varnish his terror, Aruvheit suddenly yelled angrily and undulated the space. Most likely he was trying to release shockwave by directly affecting the space. Although he was below Ehito, as the retainer of god, doing something like handling age of god magic was easy.
But, it seemed that his chaotic head was unable to make a calm judgment.
Rather than raising his fervor like this, Aruvheit should escape from this place even if he had to blast the floor. Or perhaps he should resolve himself to receive damage to himself and fired annihilation class magic at all direction and used teleport in that opening, he also could summon the monsters that were still outside the devil king castle to buy time.
This dignity of a half-baked god had pletely closed his one in a million chance path of survival.
The result.
"A? ――!!?"
He lost his four limbs.
This time it was both his legs that were erased. Aruvheit became a tumbling doll and fell down with a soundless shriek. With his body annihilated halfway like this, it seemed that he couldn't cut off his sense of pain using something like regeneration magic, and so he was driven mad by the 'pain' that he had already forgotten pletely in these few thousand of years.
Even so, even when he was rotten to the core, he was still a god. He floated his body using magic and he attempted to escape with deathly desperation.
However, at this late there was no way Hajime would allow such thing, when Aruvheit noticed he was already locked inside a cage of chain that was wrapped with red light. There was already no place to escape anywhere…
The spherical cage was gradually tightening close. It was as though he was going to be annihilated bit by bit, and that instigated out his terror. Aruvheit was half panicked, he let out a cramped smile that sounded like a chicken.
"A, ah, wa, wait-. Wait a second! Sa, say what you want-. I'll grant whatever your wish is! If you like I'll even bring you to where Ehito-sama is! If I persuade Ehito-sama, surely even Ehito-sama will not refuse it out of hand-. The world-. The world you know! I will share the right to do whatever you please to the world to you too! That's why-!"
All the people in the audience hall were staring dumbfounded at Hajime who was walking forward in swaying motion with nihilistic expression while clad in a red tornado, and Aruvheit who was desperately begging for his life under the guise of negotiation.
During that time, the spherical cage suddenly began to rotate. The countless chains that stretched vertically moved horizontally and began to turn like a ball that was twirled on someone's finger. Thinking about the ability that rejected and annihilated the existence of what it touched, what was happening could even be said as a special excavator.
Because Aruvheit was a god, the sensation of physical pain was something that he had already forgotten pletely since a long time ago. Therefore, what he felt from having all his four limbs cut off was a despairing agony to the degree that it was praiseworthy he hadn't gone mad.
For that reason, the situation where an excavator made from annihilation chain gradually approaching him caused a tremendous terror that made him wanted to raise a meaningless shriek and an impulse to tear off his hair if he still had his hand. There shouldn't be anything that can threaten himself in this world-. Yes, even if he screamed that in his heart, but the 'presence of death' at the other side of his forgotten memory was steadily and certainly creeping closer. The mind of Aruvheit was already on the verge of breaking down.
"Stop-, I told you to stop already! This is the mand of god you know! Listen to what I'm saying-. No, wait, I got it! Then, I'll bee your, I'll bee your eminence's servant! That's why-. I'll help with the recovery of that vampire's body so-. Stop-. Just stoppp!"
Amidst the reverberating scream of terror and despair, the rotation of the cage of chain that was almost touching Aruvheit's body suddenly weakened and it stopped growing smaller. Aruvheit who was in a state where the word unsightly perfectly suited him, timidly opened his closed eyes.
"You want to live?"
"eh, ah?"
"I'm asking whether you want to live."
Aruvheit was dumbfounded at Hajime's question, but then he prehended the meaning of those words and a slight hope emerged in his eyes.
"Ye, yeah, I want to live-. I beg you! I'll do anything-"
"I see…"
Hajime nodded briskly. Joyful look floated on Aruvheit's face where he was thinking "I survived!
