67. Truly Wonderful Power (Kaz Cookies)
In the next moment, what could be called the “magic sword Alsas” was more accurately described as the “light sword” Alsas, now completely under Kephiel’s control.
Then, she spun around, facing the approaching purple light cannon. A seemingly weak swing, yet in an instant, it severed the cannon in two! The split cannon crashed down onto the snow beside Kephiel, stirring up a whirlwind mixed with snowflakes!
From beginning to end, I never had a single thought of wanting to escape, after all, from start to finish, I never wavered or doubted Kephiel’s power and intentions! The “protagonist” in the script isn’t just playing around!
For all of this, the sword I held in my arms—the lightning fairy Jousi couldn’t contain herself! If she had a body right now, she would undoubtedly have a face of disbelief, as she was so surprised that even alien languages slipped out!
“Bakarakaka!? What… what the hell is this!?” The sword jumped in my arms, “Is that Alsas!? Isn’t Alsas that useless, stinky little sister!? When did she become so fierce!?”
“Curse your entire family’s eighteen generations!”
Even at this moment, Kephiel’s Alsas still had the mood to banter!
“Stop yapping with me! If you have the guts, let’s have a match later, and I’ll show you what it means for an ancestral grave to smoke green!”
What the hell are you saying, Alsas? Hurry up and focus on helping Kephiel deal with the fairy!
I looked at the lightning sword I was holding and carefully lifted her up.
“This is the kind of power you’ll have after a ‘fairy’ like you makes the right choice of ‘master,’ Jousi. No need to envy; you and Letty are already in a strong relationship as user and power-providing weapon. In my ‘prophecy,’ your true ‘master’ should be Kephiel. Once you recognize your master correctly, the power you unleash will far surpass the defensive Alsas.”
After a pause, I added, “This is much better than being a useless three-legged cat like me, Zousi.”
“……”
“As for the self-disciplined fairy, isn’t ‘self-discipline’ just a term Nilu uses for you? No one has stipulated that ‘because you are a self-disciplined fairy who can act freely, you cannot re-acknowledge a master,’ right?”
Where my gaze fell, Kefier met Claudia with no fear left in her eyes. In this icy world, where the power of Alsas could be fully displayed, and the environment suited Kefier’s magic as her “home ground,” even though the script had already informed me that Claudia had become stronger due to the power granted by Nilu, Kefier didn’t seem to be at a disadvantage at all.
Although…
【Kefier and Claudia are at a standstill!】
If this dragged on, it might not yield any results. After all, the purple witch maintained her distance from Kefier, relying on her advantage of “being able to fly and use magic.” Although she manipulated the crystal ball, using any kind of direct or indirect attack, whether it be magic cannons or lasers, for Kefier, it was all a matter of “cutting ties.” Yet, at this moment, Kefier couldn’t break through Claudia’s defenses the instant she caught a glimpse of her movement, only able to watch helplessly as the fairy escaped further away, both of them becoming two figures chasing each other in the vast expanse of white snow.
This isn’t me bragging, because at this moment, I realized: how the future of Kefier’s script unfolds, whether in victory or defeat, might… have become something I could decide!
And how should I choose? No need to think! Let Kefier and her opponent engage in a fierce battle, sustaining heavy injuries and then finding a way to survive? In the past, I might have thought that was a good plot twist, but now, to let my fiancée go through such an ordeal?
Absolutely not!
“Lightning fairy, compared to acknowledging me as your master, Kefier is the better choice. Moreover, putting aside some boring thoughts, your ‘awakening’ is also to seek revenge on Nilu, right? Although our ultimate goals differ, at least our process is the same.”
I looked at the sword of lightning in my arms and said slowly, “So… please acknowledge Kefier as your master, to help her; also for your own purpose; to show this fairy and Nilu your current power, Zousi!”
“Ogier, this emperor never flatters things I find displeasing.”
A cold voice responded, but… what followed wasn’t an answer that would put me in a difficult position, “However… since you say so, this emperor doesn’t mind giving that white-haired girl a good opportunity to prove herself.”
Hmph, rest assured, the person I, Ogier, recommend can’t possibly be a subpar product! Soon, you’ll see Kefier’s strength.
“Lift me up, throw me!”
Zousi’s sword crackled with lightning; the dark clouds in the gray sky began to gather here; flashes of electricity flickered, and the thunder rumbled ominously as I raised it high!
Speaking of which, am I not just acting like a fool, being a human lightning rod!?
“Boom!”
With the sound of thunder, I immediately gave up pretending to be this idiot! Then, I shouted at Kefier!
“Kefier! Use Zousi’s power!!!”
Immediately, I threw Zousi towards Kefier! This time, Zousi had no problem hurling insults at Claudia, who was confronting Kefier!
“Purple little O! Let’s see if I don’t kill you this time, Blet!”
“Zousi!! You traitor colluding with humans!!”
In her fury, Claudia, still intent on destroying Zousi, finally exposed a flaw in her own defenses!
Kefier certainly wouldn’t miss it!
The spinning sword gradually transformed into a leaping bolt of lightning, scattering at the moment Claudia attempted to destroy it! Then… it attached itself to the magic sword Alsas in Kefier’s hand! Taking advantage of the moment, Kefier leaped and struck at the defenses surrounding the purple fairy. Accepting power and utilizing it happened in an instant; this is the unreasonable, domineering “script” of the protagonist!
“Alsas! Don’t hold this emperor back!”
“Hold you back? You think you can compete with me for the master!? Use it up and hand it over to me!”
The golden lightning clawed through the defenses surrounding Claudia, which even Alsas struggled to shake; the pure white ice blades followed, piercing through the purple fairy’s body; finally, with Kefier’s renewed strength, she “stabbed” Claudia down from mid-air!
As if by some magical force, a purple aura suddenly burst forth from Claudilus’s body, and the fairy’s voice became dry with her trembling movements.
“No… it’s impossible… I clearly have the power given to me by my master… clearly… they are all mere ants… lowly ants… cough…”
Miss Fairy, perhaps you wouldn’t understand? For the protagonist in the script…
As long as all conditions are met, nothing is truly impossible!
【Swish】
I watched as Kephiel pulled the magic sword from Claudilus’s body! Golden lightning dispelled the surrounding darkness and chaos.
