Volu 13 Chapter 19
C-Rank Advancent Examination (14/16)
rdie ended up slaughtering Gad ten tis.
Actually, Gad was already trying to surrender during the second round, but before he could even say anything, he was rcilessly obliterated multiple tis afterward. rdie’s attacks were so quick that Gad couldn’t even give up.
By the ti Gad opened his mouth just a second after he was revived, rdie would have already smashed his body into smithereens with her Fist. Because the blow was too powerful, not a single fragnt was left. It made pity Gad for just a tiny bit.
However, it was very rare for rdie to go berserk like this. She had been slightly annoyed when she had been insulted by Gad back when he tried to hit on Luna and her, but… she was not the type to be deeply hurt by such things. Perhaps it was because Luna was insulted that she beca like this. It would be totally understandable if that were the case.
rdie said that she was doing this as revenge for all the won that Gad harassed in the past, and because of his offhand remark about her being a beastkin.
Still, I felt that sothing was different.
I was curious, so I tried probing her true feelings by using mind reading.
(Ahh, that feels so refreshing, ow! It’s pretty good to hit sothing with all you’ve got once in a while, ow.)
…Oh, so it was just a stress reliever for her.
That was just so rdie.
“Alight, it’s my turn next.”
Sylph was taking the test after rdie.
Wind Spirit King Sylph, Akari the reincarnated hero, Forr Demon King Sitri, and Luna were the only ones left to take the advancent examination. We decided to do the test in this order back when I said I would go first.
“You’re the next one?”
He died that many tis already, and yet he was still in the mood to continue the exam. Gad’s ntal fortitude was admirable, I think.
“What the, you’re just a brat.”
“I may look like this, but I’m older than you, you know.”
Not only was she older, her existence was already leagues above his.
She’s a Spirit King, after all.
The strongest beings in this world were undoubtedly the deities. However, because they have restrictions in place when it ca to using their power in the Human Realm, they couldn’t unleash their strength as much as they wanted to. If the deities were to use their power without abandon, the world would surely collapse.
The ones entrusted with the managent of the human world by these deities were the Spirit Kings. In other words, Spirit King Sylph is currently the strongest being in the human world—well, except for a certain group of people.
"I can start now, right?"
"Yeah. You can go from anywhere──"
With a flick of her wind, Sylph cut off Gad's half-spoken words.
Leaving behind a slightly amusing death cry(?), Gad vanished from view.
The magic wielded by the Spirit King—an existence with overwhelming mana—wasn't sothing that a re human could endure. It was also the first ti I had seen Sylph use magic seriously.
"I may look like this, but I don't want to be called a brat by soone I've just t."
Gad, you misspoke, huh.
Well, it can't be helped.
The slaughter ti by the Spirit King who snapped (just a little bit) has now begun.
──＊＊＊──
“I’m ne~xt!”
“Akari. Co here for a bit.”
“Okay. What’s up, Haru-Nii?”
It would be terrible if Akari were to unleash her full power.
She was way too powerful to do that.
She was one of the ‘exceptions’ that were stronger than the Spirit Kings.
At first, I agreed that Akari could go all out, but… after witnessing Ryuushin and rdie’s growth, I needed to reconsider it.
“Don’t go all out when you’re fighting.”
“Eh!? But you told earlier that I can… Why am I not allowed now?”
“Sorry. Akari is super strong, so fight with just 30% of your usual power, alright?”
“T-Thirty?”
Ryuushin easily tore down a hole in my dungeon after his growth. His attack didn’t have any impact on the outside world, but the problem wasn’t its effect; it was the fact that he could.
And Akari here was several tis stronger than Ryuushin.
“Please.”
“...Okay, got it, Haru-Nii.”
After saying that, Akari whipped a jet-black blade out of nowhere as she strode towards Gad.
…E, Eh?
H-Hey, Akari-san?
That black sword—isn't that a Genesis-tier weapon?
Aren’t you taking this too seriously?
Did you listen to what I just said?
Didn’t I say to use 30% of your power, right?
I felt a bit uneasy, so I read Akari’s mind.
(30%, he said. But I wouldn’t be able to put up a good show for everyone if I did that.)
No, that was not true at all.
Akari’s 30% was already way stronger than Ryuushin’s full power!
“The next one’s another brat, huh.”
“I’m Akari. I’m in your care.”
“... Oh well. C’re, I’ll play with you.”
“Yes. Well then —”
I could hear Akari’s inner voice.
(Haru-Nii probably told everyone that my attacks are amazing even if I don’t go all out. )
Eh!?
Y-You’re wrong!!
(That’s why what I should do is—)
Akari raised her black sword and posed.
(Go. All. Out!!)
“I’m going now!”
T-This is terrible!
“Everyone! We’re escaping!”
I took everyone there except Gad and Akari and escaped outside the Adventurer's Guild through teleportation. I gauged that I could no longer stop Akari's magic since it already reached its limit.
The mont we teleported, a severe shock wave shook the ground.
When I made my dungeon, I blocked the connection of the arena with the outside world. By connecting the surroundings of the arena to another world, I made sure that no matter what sort of attack was used, it would not affect the outside of the adventurer's guild.
But Akari—the strongest hero who ca to this world, blessed by the goddess of another world with an extrely powerful reincarnation privilege—was capable of easily shattering the space I made.
Yeah, she’s really my little sis.
"I said 30% of her power only, and yet..."
