Chapter 507 – Final Battle (2)

All kinds of magical explosions, long-lasting breaths, and even my wings that were covering my companions were cut by the pure white slash.

I glared straight ahead, squinting my eyes in pain. The slash was strong enough to make one think the world had been cut, and it even cut through one’s own aftermath.

What could be seen between all the cracks was Rahim, holding a holy sword with both hands.

“Crazy.”

You cut it down? While bound by a great magic that could even bind a godhead, he was hit with his breath by a barrage of magic with enough power to blow away an entire small mountain? How?

For a moment, she was so shocked that her body froze, and Iona moved her blood like her hand and attached my severed wing.

He then sprayed her own true blood on her face to increase her recovery and said,

“Look closely, student Yandel. Although the blow from earlier was strong… “Rahim is not in good condition either.”

“… Uh?”

As Iona said, upon closer inspection, Rahim’s condition was not very good.

First of all, the divine power of the noble ruler, which was wrapped like a coat, was not able to maintain its shape properly and shimmered like fog.

His armor had long ago broken down, exposing his torso covered in scars.

And the biggest wound was not anywhere else but the arm. One of Rahim’s arms was burnt, as if he had been burned.

Although he is recovering, the speed of recovery is slow, perhaps because the wound is too great to be covered by the protection of all gods, and it does not look like he will fully recover.

That’s good news for me. I was worried what would happen if, like me, you had monster-like regenerative powers thanks to all kinds of blessings.

But. There was Flora, the saint of cyclical life, but there was no reason to obsess over her regenerative powers or resilience.

If he hadn’t died instantly, he could have been brought back to life many times.

For a moment, I nodded, flapping the wings that had just been attached and checking to see if they were properly attached.

I muttered without realizing it due to the sudden feeling of discomfort.

-Flora… ?

As if reacting to the name, Rahim raises his slightly bowed head and looks this way.

Flora’s body, which she had held dearly during the battle, was nowhere to be seen, let alone the hundreds of years she had spent inside her seal.

One burned arm. Invisible Flora. And a ray of passion in those eyes that were always dull.

I thought it might have been destroyed by the attack a little while ago… Only the ends of her hair were slightly burnt, and she was lying on the ground looking the same as before.

So did he sacrifice one of Flora’s arms simply to protect her body?

Rahim turned his back on Flora and raised his holy sword as if to protect her. I looked at it for a moment and then opened my mouth.

“Rahim. Why did she cut off one of her arms and eat the saint’s body? “If you say it right, we’re going to go back to the past anyway, so it would be more important to preserve some of her power than to worry about her corpse.”

“That…”

“They say that if you destroy the world, you can return… You don’t believe it either, do you? “In the first place, it was said by Gohan Gohan, an evil god, who was trapped in a seal, and was brought out to persuade him.”

“…”

Rahim goes back to looking like a dead fish and keeps his mouth shut. He probably knows it too.

A promise made by a god is absolute even to an evil spirit, but that does not mean that a lie can never be uttered.

He just suffers great damage to his status and spiritual power if he doesn’t do it.

In other words, you can cheat as much as you want if you take the loss. If you have the power to specialize in deception, like Boiling Calm, even that can be minimized.

“It was strange when I thought about it. If you destroy the world, the rules will break down and you can even go against the flow of time? Maybe it’s true. But what are the criteria for the world to end? Even if the continent of Aurelia is devastated, it will only be the destruction of the continent.”

“Stop.”

Rahim seems to be trying to stop me from saying anything, and he is gaining even more momentum. The light emitted from the holy sword became so intense that it stung.

One swing would be enough to shut me up, but… In fact, Rahim just glared and did not move.

As if someone had hit the nail on the head.

“No, more accurately, the life that lives on it. Among them, it would be especially close to the destruction of man. Can we really say that it is the destruction of the world? What is the justice of the world there? Although the continent of Aurelia is large, it is not the entire planet. Maybe we have to go beyond this planet and destroy the entire universe. “It’s like evil spirits wandering around looking for another world.”

“Stop… ! “Shut up!”

“Stop doing something. If you noticed it as much as I just heard it, you probably know it too. “The plan to return is so absurd.”

Let’s say time goes back. Could it be that only the continent of Aurelia goes back in time? Was time a concept that could be controlled locally in the first place?

No way.

If time were to go back, the entire universe would have to be rewound, but where would the energy come from?

“The only possibility is that Rahim, your memories will go back to the past… In this case too, a great deal of strength and knowledge would be needed.”

Even the seething calm that was once the god of wisdom could not even dare to do this until the law of causality was satisfied.

However, since there is no reason for Rahim to be given causality, it would be even more difficult.

“Your methods are wrong. If you want to see Flora again, remember the memories that remain in this space…”

“Me too!!”

Rahim cuts me off with a violent expression. The space around him begins to vibrate as if following his will.

“I know! “But there is no way!!”

With human power, it generates a force equal to or even greater than that of Dragon Fear. Rahim’s emotions are felt so keenly.

“Implanting memories only brings back the body? Okay! It’s possible! But that’s not the real Flora! “You will be nothing more than a soulless puppet!”

“… If it’s a soul, there’s a way. I’m sure because I actually tried it and succeeded. The blessings of all gods are upon you as well. “If you transplant the power of resurrection contained within it along with the enormous divine power, you will be reborn as a being with a soul.”

“But that’s not the Flor I know! There is a soul, but it is not Flora’s soul. There is Flora’s memory, but it is just a fake clone! Flora, whom I loved and who loved me, is dead! It completely disappeared without even leaving a soul! “There is no other way to meet again than to turn back time!”

Anger, sadness, self-blame, longing, and finally, a faint hope.

With every word Rahim says, a deep emotion bordering on madness is creeping into my mind. When you reach a certain level, whether you are a wizard or a knight, your thoughts… It is true that we project our minds externally.

However, this only goes to the extent that one’s images are passed on to others. To put it bluntly, it is no different from an honest conversation. This means it will never be at the same level as it is now.

Rahim’s image was close to mental contamination, whether it was because of the divine power he had absorbed from his noble ruler, or because his emotions had accumulated to the point where they had rotted away.

“No matter how absurd or impossible it seems, you have no choice but to try. First, I will destroy all civilizations on the continent of Aurelia! If that’s still not enough, all intelligent beings! Next is the beast! Nature! Gods! Even to another dimension if necessary! If we kill them all like that, one day we will reach the destruction of the world!”

An auror mixed with divine power that burns steadily while riding a holy sword. Only when it reaches the point where it looks like a pillar of light does the Holy Sword stop expanding.

Rahim, who was holding the long holy sword in his hand as if it could easily cut down my entire body, spoke in a cold voice.

“… Even if you can’t go back, it doesn’t matter. “A world without Flora has no meaning.”

Rahim’s dark, subdued voice announced my doom like a curse or a prophecy.

“So don’t get in my way and just die.”

Whoa!

A holy sword swung at such incredible speed that it was difficult to follow it with the eye. For a moment, my vision turned white and reflected the world inside the distorted seal.

Maintaining dragon form in the face of that level of power and range would be almost foolish. Since I wouldn’t be able to use my breath for a while anyway, I cast Polymorph at the right time as I had prepared.

A body that gets smaller quickly. He returned to his familiar human height and narrowly avoided Rahim’s sword.

He shouted as he snatched the staff and dagger that were floating in the air.

“Now!”

The companions poured out the magic they had prepared at the same time as I said.

Even so, it was difficult to cast the great magic Gleipnir again in a short period of time, but there was no restraint… Instead, Rebecca went on the offensive.

Countless magic covers the sky, encroaching on space like a tsunami. I also fought back, using my staff to shoot out punishment and my dagger to shoot out black light.

However, the results were not the same as before.

“You won’t get hit twice!”

The blade, which had grown as long as possible to cut my body, became shorter in the blink of an eye, and an afterimage appeared on Rahim’s arm.

Suddenly.

Cut it.

It wasn’t all cut with one sword. The magic just before it reached Rahim was cut down by the holy sword one by one and disappeared.

Incredible speed and skill. But Rahim didn’t think that was enough and even counterattacked towards us.

The slash that came right in front of her nose knocked down Helena’s hastily cast shield.

Thud!

It wasn’t a strike with all his might, but rather a check by removing the magic falling towards him. Still, isn’t the power to almost split Helena’s defenses too much?

“Dodge rather than block! Iris and Karla don’t stop and keep casting whatever they want! Chairman too! And…”

“I am ready brother.”
“Me too, husband!”

“I know, I know. We charge in separately and somehow tie our hands… Right?”

“… Yes. “I know it’s ridiculous, but I can’t think of any other way.”

We’ve already put in as much firepower as we can. Even so, all I had to do was take one arm.

If they hadn’t tried to protect Flora’s body, the damage might have been less.

Anyway, if you just project firepower from afar, you will eventually be defeated by Rahim, who approaches while cutting down all the magic.

So, fight at close range. If we attract attention and tie our hands, we will inflict damage with the magic of other party members.

Fortunately, Rahim’s regenerative power was not that great. If damage continues to accumulate, there is a possibility.

“Going!”

Taking those words as a signal, the three of us kicked the ground.
