Destruction
* * *
Towering before standing on the snowy plain was a manor with an outwardly “strange” appearance that could only be described as such.
First, the roof was bright red. Bright crimson red. Additionally, the window fras and other key areas were also painted red.
The walls were coated a bright yellow, with red polka dot patterns drawn here and there.
With only pure white snow piled up around it, its outward appearance stood out bizarrely.
“My apologies, Emi. And my gratitude…for leaving the cleanup to an outsider like you.”
Nare, standing beside , said that while placing a hand on her chest and bowing her head slightly.
“…It’s fine. I want to get out too. So I’ll do it. That’s all.”
I rotated my neck, rolled my shoulders, clenched and opened my fists repeatedly…
Yeah, Extra-sama.
I’m all set.
I concentrated magic power into my clenched right fist.
Slowly, carefully, I condensed my magic power.
A fist stronger than anything.
A fist to shatter and crush everything.
Wishing for that, I refined my magic power.
My total magic power now…compared to when I fought that Chatty Black Lizard, I think it has multiplied several tis over.
I carefully, carefully poured that imnse magic power into my fist.
Mishi…Gishigishi…Gishi…
Space seed to creak, indistinct sounds arising.
“……..Ready.”
After continuing that process for several minutes, the strongest right fist I could currently create, imbued with unprecedented destructive force, was complete.
“You…are truly sothing else, aren’t you? Hahaha, that fist is emitting so kind of pitch-black smoke, but you’ll be okay?”
At this level of concentrated density, even a human without 【Magic Perception】 like Nare seed able to perceive the leaking magic power from my fist.
“No problem.”
I said that, then took a stance facing the manor with that fist.
Well, I may have prepared sowhat grandiosely, but what I intended to unleash was simply a magically enhanced destructive punch – in other words, the 【Magic Strike】 I had used many tis before.
I planned to unleash it full force at the manor.
According to Nare, through repeatedly looping for so long, she had beco able to vaguely sense the “power” used for the loops.
That “power” is what Extra-sama called the “source god’s power behind the loops,” right?
Well then.
Apparently, the “power” required for looping increases the more there is to restore.
In other words, the more damaged the manor is, the greater the “power” needed for the loop increases.
And by Nare’s assessnt, the current remaining “power” was insufficient to restore the manor and loop again.
There wasn’t enough “power” left for that.
In other words, if the manor was utterly destroyed, the loop would no longer occur.
That seed to be the case.
You an…?
It may have been quite a roundabout approach, but once the solution is clear, it’s actually quite simple, isn’t it?
Hm? Did you say sothing, Extra-sama?
“….Well then, will you do it? Emi?”
Nare urged from the side.
“………”
Sure.
It’s fine.
If I can get out, that’s fine with .
I’ll do it, anything.
If it’s fine for and Extra-sama, that’s enough.
But you know, Extra-sama.
If I destroy this small world…
……What will happen to Nare afterward?
……They’ll disappear?
“………”
I inadvertently turned to face Nare, gazing at her expression.
“Hm? What’s wrong?”
Nare still smiled as usual.
An audacious, cynical, parched, exhausted, yet sohow serene smile.
“………”
“Ah…Could it be you’re worried about ?”
I nodded silently.
“If the loop is destroyed, Nare will disappear.”
“I imagine that’s probably what will happen. I can vaguely sense it.”
“….Are you okay with that?”
“I’m fine with it.”
Laughing “Hahaha,” Nare faced straight ahead.
“It’s the inevitable conclusion we would reach sooner or later. Even if left alone, this place…won’t last more than a few years. So I’d actually prefer you do it sooner rather than later.”
“…..I see.”
“That’s right.”
“………”
“….Truly, thank you, Emi.”
“………”
I turned back toward the manor, took my stance, and focused.
Closing my eyes.
I will destroy.
I will destroy.
I will destroy this manor.
I will destroy the loop.
I will destroy everything that has been repeating here.
I will destroy everything repeated here.
Destroy.
Destroy!!!
Just as I steeled my resolve, opened my eyes, and raised my fist toward the manor…That was when it happened!!
That shouting voice resounded!!
