Chapter 94: The Idiot and the Idiot
Abyss and Igni currently stood inside the world made by Abyss’ unique ability.
But this was a world created differently from Igni’s. Igni created his world out of nothing.
But Abyss took a small square of dinsional space that was 1 microter in length, width, and height and reduced the width vector to zero, and forcefully created a 2 dinsional area where the surface area spread infinitely in all directions.
In short, they were both standing on an infinitely, fully flat surface.
This was Abyss’ Magic ー the Miracle of taking one of the 3 existing axes and reducing it to zero.
Because it did not interact with any of the known Magic Types or elents, it was deed as the birth of a completely new Magic Type.
Igni: “Sara”
Igni speaks and calls out Sara’s na.
With tear-filled eyes, she looks up at Igni.
Igni: “Let’s go ho.”
The next mont, Sara, who was in Abyss’ hands, was now wrapped up in Igni’s arms.
Sara: “Huh…….?”
Not understanding what just happened, Sara tilted her head in wonder.
Abyss, who was prepared to handle any attack from all directions, felt cold sweat drip down his face at the fact that he couldn’t respond at all to Igni.
Abyss: “Igni, your Magic…...is it related…...to ti?”
Igni: “Who knows?”
Igni responds nonchalantly without interest.
Regardless of whether Abyss knows how Igni’s Magic works, he wouldn’t be able to respond to Igni regardless.
That is because with Igni’s [Mini-Universe] {Fireball}, while this small universe exists for the next 430 billion years, during that ti, everything that Igni is able to detect is under the complete control of his world.
Abyss: “No, that’s interesting! It’s the first ti to see that kind of Magic! Show ! Show more of your Magic, Igni!!”
As soon as Abyss is done shouting, from the pitch black surface of the ground, countless humanoid figures begin erging from it. Igni: “...........this is…….”
Abyss: “These are my beloved kinsn.”
The countless kinsn flooded out onto the surface.
And in the midst of every single one rushed forward at Igni, Igni stopped ti.
To be accurate, Igni infinitely accelerated the ti for Igni and Sara only, so the difference in ti perception made it seem like ti stopped.
Sara: “.......I did sothing bad.”
Igni: “............”
Igni holds onto Sara as he puts so distance between them and the oncoming horde.
That’s because Igni won’t be able to use any Spells while he’s using his Magic.
Sara: “I can’t go ho……..the fishies all died……..I made the ocean dirty…….”
Igni slowly pats Sara’s head as she begins to uncontrollably sob.
Sara: “Miko and Miru…...they got hurt because of …..! If…...If I only didn’t have a body like this……”
Igni: “Sara, it’s okay.”
Sara: “I didn’t know that my daddy was the [Demon King]........! I thought the [Demon King] was bad……..he was a bad person who killed a lot of people……! But it was my fault! I shouldn’t have been born!”
Igni: “But because of you, I am here too.”
Sara: “.........huh?”
As Sara continues to sob, Igni quietly tells her the truth.
Igni: “Well, Sara. I thought the exact sa thing before.”
Igni continues to put more distance between them and the kinsn who are rising up out of the ground, and from Abyss who had frozen with that smirk on his face.
Igni: “Sara, you know that I can only use {Fireball}, right?” Sara: “........yeah.”
Sara wipes the tears from her face and nods slowly.
Igni: “My father was very strict. He told that because I can only use {Fireball}, I’m useless to him, and he gave a choice of never leaving the house till I die or leaving the family forever.”
Sara: “................huh?” Igni: “I hated it. I was sad. I even thought about why I was even born. That things shouldn’t be this way. I thought about those things over and over.”
Sara: “You’re…..lying….” Hearing Igni’s words ー Igni, who always spoke so cheerfully ー made Sara lose hers.
Igni: “But you know, because of you, Sara, I was able to beco . Because of you, I was able to beco a Magician.”
Sara: “.........because of ?” Igni: “Yeah, that’s right.” Igni emphasizes his words with confidence.
Igni: “You don’t have to listen to that guy’s words over there. There’s no point believing in them. Didn’t they teach you at school? You shouldn’t follow after strangers.”
Sara: ‘...............yeah.” Sara nods her head once.
Igni: “You are just you, Sara. You’re just a girl with a little bit more Magic Power, and aside from that, you’re just a cute little girl that’s no different than the others. And I’m also indebted to you.”
Sara: “..........really?” All the tears have disappeared, and Sara looks at Igni with genuine curiosity as she speaks.
Igni: “Because of you, Sara, I was able to beco the strongest. That’s why I’ll show you. I will take all of these guys out all at once.”
Sara: “All of them?”
There are several thousands of kinsn swelling up from the ground.
Sara doubted if Igni could take out all of them.
Igni: “Watch this, Sara.” Igni holds Sara tight, and returns their ti to normal.
But Igni also returns of Abyss and his kinsn and increases the influence of his [Mini-Universe] {Fireball}.
Abyss: “That’s an amazing speed! You are definitely manipulating ti…….!”
The next mont, Igni reduced the ti for everyone in the scope of his influence down to zero.
In that instant, .
Sara: “........huh?” A mont later, Sara’s voice lets out a surprise.
There were several thousand kinsn with Abyss in the center.
And every single one had their upper body detached from their lower bodies.
And ti started quietly moving forward once again.
Abyss: “......! This, you used the difference in ti!!”
Igni: “................”
As Abyss fell towards the ground, Igni looked down upon him with a cold stare.
Abyss: “The actively moving atoms will separate from the atoms stopped in ti! The boundary between the ti will turn into a blade that would cut through anything…..! HEHE!! IGNI!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!”
Igni: “And you’re the utter worst.”
Abyss: “HA HA HA!! Thanks for the complint.”
Abyss bowed at Igni for the words, and his body lted into sludge.
But the infinite 2-dinsional space did not return to normal.
Igni: “.....you’re still here, right? Abyss?” Abyss: “Yeah, this is my [World]. As long as I am , I can enter it from anywhere I like.”
Igni: “You still want to go on?”
The difference in their strength is apparent.
And in the first place, Abyss specializes in not dying, but it doesn’t an that he is strong in combat. Again, as long as Igni is here, he will be unable to take Sara.
Abyss: “Of course I will. I’ve only shown you one of my Magic, right?” As soon as Abyss finished saying those words, Igni’s [Mini-Universe] {Fireball} disappeared.
Igni: “...........?!”
Igni did not erase the Spell.
The Spell disappeared on its own!
Igni: “[Equip Fla] {Ignition}!!”
Igni imdiately tries to initiate his Spell.
But even that fails.
No matter how much he initiates and manipulates Magic Power, it is instantly used up and ends.
As a result, nothing happens.
Abyss: “The [Miracle of Order]. This is my first Magic.”
Igni: “......you’ve made it so we can’t use Spells.”
Abyss: “Well, that’s how I applied the laws this ti.”
Igni holds Sara tightly and glares at Abyss.
Abyss: “I’m basically manipulating entropy, but I won’t bother trying to explain that to a student like you. But you should know at least this. You can’t use Spells here. Well, more accurately, you’ll be returned to the state right after you use the Spell. It’s similar to that useless swordsman, Clara’s Magic…….but…...mine has more uses than hers.”
Igni: “......yeah, and I see that you finally showed up for real this ti.” Abyss: “Yeah.” Abyss nodded to Igni’s words.
Abyss won’t bother asking how Igni knew.
Abyss’ first Magic Spell isn’t sothing that he could hide and take out Igni with it.
If he wanted to hold the advantage from the beginning, he simply had to use it from the beginning.
But he didn’t do so. Then there’s only one possible conclusion.
His [Clone] {Doppelganger} is not able to use his first Magic Spell.
Abyss: “It’s my second ti now, did you know? The second ti I had to actually fight against soone in person.”
The first ti was Lucas. The second ti was against Igni.
Igni and Abyss both know nothing about each other’s past, so they do not delve into it any deeper.
Abyss: “[Those who crawl and suffer, capture them]”
A sludge-like warm, shadowy hand takes a hold of Igni’s leg.
Abyss: “Well, I can use Spells though.”
Igni: “Can I ask you one thing?” Abyss: “What?” Igni: “You can’t use Spells, and that’s it?”
Abyss: “For now.” Igni: “Yeah, I see. Abyss, you……..really are an idiot.”
Abyss: “What?”
Igni gently places Sara on the ground.
Igni: “[Rotating Ember] {Ignite}”
Igni’s Magic Power burst into raging motion as it rotated, and he forcefully released himself from Abyss’ Spell.
Igni: “OOORRAAAHHHH!!” And slamd a straight right punch into Abyss’ face.
