It Became a Time-Stop Slit-Eye

20. Evil and Justice.

Time slows down.

The speed of the flying magic slowed significantly, and my cognitive ability recognized each one clearly.

Only I have lived at the original speed of time.

That means acceleration.

It meant that my steps, which were otherwise extremely fast, became even faster.

─It cuts through the air.

The shoulder, which moves one beat quickly, is corrected to the right beat by the feet running in the air at high speed.

The distance is deleted.

The meaning of manipulating time was soon replaced by the meaning of controlling space.

Suddenly—!

A thunderbolt stronger than before and a sharp iron skeleton are cut in half.

Another next, and then another.

Swing the dagger towards the next projectile. Draw the body cut

Kaang! Quaang! Caang!

If it becomes easily possible, it becomes like repetitive work.

As it is now, magic accompanied by physical force is the same, and education for bad tempered children is also the same.

“Oops, if this gets hit wrong, people die? Have you completely lost your mind to control?”

Suddenly! Eris twitched between her brows as she questioned her sorrowful heart as she sliced through the magic with a single knife.

“…… Have you lost your mind to control?”

Depending on the wizard’s will, golden chains rise from parts of the half-destroyed construction site.

A type of binding magic that incapacitates the target, similar to a ‘binding’ spell.

“Yes, absolutely!”

However, later on, the power of the spell, which was full of the energy of the archmage, changed.

With the energy of the stars, the magic hierarchy itself has risen several levels.

It was the same with the magician’s own abilities.

Eris Betelgeuse, the magician of the stars, radiated brilliant golden magic and declared.

“If you don’t want to die right now, you better surrender!”

This is a very arrogant remark like a child.

“Oh, why me?”

I wanted to pull out my sword and mess with Mechakucha right away, but I persevered and went ahead with my original plan.

“I’m still much stronger.”

Crush with force.

“…… You!”

Awesome! It seemed like I could hear the sound of teeth grinding, but it was still too early to think about dental health.

Ignore and transcend space and time.

It is an overwhelming amount of chain that covers most of the visual field, but the strength of each one is not high.

It’s only at the level of steel.

Suddenly!

Cut in one fell swoop.

The blade of high-density magical power shimmering like a torch cut through and melted magic.

After repeating that dozens of hundreds of times, a hole appears in the net that seemed to have nowhere to escape.

“Hmm, I guess I need to train myself more.”

There was also something to reflect on.

The goal is not to wobble, but to form like a hard and sharp blade.

Well, it was a very difficult level of magic control to reach in just half a year.

This is something we will take care of later.

For now, the magic continued to cut through.

Deuddeudeuk!

After tearing off the golden net, I saw empty air as I sprinted towards the wizard.

Eris Betelgeuse with a bewildered expression.

There are battle titles, but in the end, the distance between her and her sorceress is not long.

‘I thought he was stronger than the main character, Kenichi, until the beginning of the episode, but isn’t it worse than I thought?’

Evaluating his fighting ability so far, it was lower than expected.

I thought the firepower would be much stronger as the wizard and tumbler are characters, but it’s too low.

Is it the difference between the game and reality?

While thinking so, I readjusted the dagger in my hand again when I heard a voice.

“…… I have that skill.”

It was Eris Betelgeuse, who was trembling all over.

“Why do you live like that!”

Uh, I thought for a moment about what that meant, but it was a very philosophical topic, so I answered with confidence.

“Isn’t that obvious!”

Apart from the life of a hikikomori before the possession, my life after that was intense itself.

‘Even if I have the ability to cheat, I have to work hard to live in a foreign country.’

Even though the game genre is on the surface, it is a youth academy, and the content is an apocalypse exorcism.

How many monsters have you caught in the city? I don’t even give money to anyone who did well.

Though the connection with the Shihei family has been completely resolved, the work ahead is too daunting.

A dog sh*t game with too many risks of extinction.

The main character, Kenichi, also needs to be nurtured diligently, and the same goes for the other three heroines.

I have a long way to go, and I’m very worried that Kenichi is already dissatisfied, but what can I do?

If you want to survive, you have to keep struggling.

I am so sad that no one understands my sincerity, and I feel like I will burst into tears, but there is only one reason for continuing this life.

“It’s a rewarding ride!”

To survive together with the people here.

I caught the monster and educated Kenichi. Although he deviated from his regular route, he also captured Sento.

Thinking of the sweat shed during that time, it was a very difficult road, but it was still worthwhile.

I have no regrets.

I wonder if the answer that contains my heart was delivered well.

“…… What? Is it worthwhile?”

Eris’s face trembled with emotion.

***

I thought that there was room for negotiation, whether the opponent was a bully or a swordsman who was synonymous with inferiority.

I thought I would be able to capture and reform them enough.

I thought it was.

“It’s a rewarding ride!”

But Eris Betelgeuse realized.

There are also psychopaths who innately enjoy doing evil.

“…… What? Is it worthwhile?”

Do you enjoy beating your classmates on the playground?

Come to think of it, recently I remembered the rumor that even the class president was dragged around after school.

How many evil deeds have you committed in the invisible gaze?

My teeth trembled and my fists clenched in anger at the disturbing imagination that soon followed.

‘…… That guy is clearly a villain.’

An incurable evil.

Certainly, the accident was the wrong guy.

Eris, the magician who even remembered cursing at her parents, made a decision.

I looked at the villain in the air with an aloof expression.

“Yeah, just die.”

Infused with mana to live.

Craft! Red light mixed with golden magic, and the enraged wizard immediately manifested magic.

“Unfold.”

Punggye magic.

Air Hammer.

No window, no order.

A hammer of wind appeared in the air. It was a magic designed to break any wicked person.

“…… Uhm?”

Ichimaru Shiki, looking perplexed, lowered his head, and the hammer came soon after.

Kwajik!

Ichimaru Shiki’s body rose to the surface with a powerful blow from the bottom to the top.

If you are a normal person, that alone is slander.

However, Eris Betelgeuse did not stop expressing his will for the spell.

“Unfold.”

Brain magic.

It is a high ranking magic among dogs.

“Thunder Calling.”

Kurrureung! The once clear sky turned black in an instant, showing signs of a storm.

It is a spell that has a delay until the spell is cast, but Eris accelerated it with the energy of the stars.

As the guide of the ‘star’, I ordered it.

“──Smash it down.”

Kwaaang—! Immediately, a pillar of lightning fell from the dry sky.

It’s not just a single bolt of lightning, it’s a manifestation of destruction that destroys everything in between.

However, Eris Betelgeuse knew that the opponent was a superhuman who could step on the air and express magic.

She clutched her hand with her veined eyes. She continued to express her will.

Started ordering.

“…… Deployment.”

Aquatic magic.

Aqua tornado.

A storm of water erupted from the floor and embraced the pillar of light.

They rubbed against each other, continuing the stronger current and pressure.

In addition to that, Eris Betelgeuse shouted with a small sun floating in the water.

“──Expand!”

Fire magic.

Explosion.

The sun, infused with the will of the stars, expanded further and showed off its majesty.

I was thrown out of hand into the middle of the storm.

And,

Quaaa!

Exploded.

The roar was followed by a white phenomenon.

Eris hurriedly spread the barrier at the hot steam spreading throughout the area.

“…… hahahaha.”

In the illusion that the entire world had turned white, the young wizard gasped.

It’s been a long time since the brilliant golden magic that radiated from her body faded.

It was too much work.

Eris Betelgeuse looked down at her shaking hands.

She exhaled heavily, feeling the strain on her body that seemed to last for a while.

‘…… I just killed someone.’

This is the first murder.

Feeling far away, Eris closed her eyes tightly.

But more than the agony of her body, more than the anxiety and sadness of having just killed someone, what filled her heart was relief.

It’s gone.

Finally, she survived the man.

‘…… Am I afraid?’

Eris Betelgeuse realized it only after the battle was over.

She thought as she breathed out her face.

Okay, that’s it.

She ended up surviving somehow.

Covered with such relief, she muttered as she looked at the place where the villain she had just confronted had been.

“…… Did you do it anyway?”

It was the last spell of magic.

As soon as Eris finished speaking, something came out of the white steam.

It was a human leg covered with a magic barrier.

“…… What?!”

Eris watched it blankly for a moment, then hurriedly expanded the barrier.

“Oops, I’m late.”

But the kick, which arrived faster than expected, easily broke the barrier.

Wow! The dozens of layers of barriers were destroyed in an instant, and soon after, her legs kicked Eris’ torso.

“…… Whoops!”

Eris Betelgeuse floated her body in the air at the sudden shock and flew away.

Kwadangtangtang! I rolled on the ground for the first time in my life.

After rolling dozens of turns in an instant, I was able to stop because there was a steel frame pillar that survived.

f*ck!

However, that was also a huge shock, so Eris couldn’t breathe for a moment.

Crisis of survival.

But she wasn’t idle.

She couldn’t even afford to breathe out her own breath, her eyes wide open as she watched the approaching villain.

She tried to get up somehow, scratching the ground with her fingers.

“Oh, sorry. To use a dagger, it often gets bloody and I can’t control it well. This is really immature, immature. There are a lot of things to reflect on today other than I thought.”

“…… Shut up!”

“Still, I’m glad that my feelings were conveyed well. You know I just died twice, right?”

“… ….”

Eris Betelgeuse, who managed to control her body, immediately expressed her will.

“——A star!”

Fire – The smoke cleared, and a golden glow covered the world.

The result reflects the star’s will to save the successor beyond its original capabilities.

Thousands of golden chains that covered the ground and the sky fell towards only one person.

Transcendence magic.

Constellation Chain.

Even in such a desperate situation, the assailant in front of her just shrugged her shoulders leisurely.

“Hmm, isn’t there a third?”

After saying that, Ichimarushiki stretched out his hand in the air with his face in a single street.

She pulled out the sword that was there at some point.

Then she stepped out.

─Quaang!

All the magic was shattered with that simple footstep.

The chains of stars that covered the heavens and earth were all annihilated in an instant.

The fragments, the brilliant starlight, fell from the lofty sky.

As if congratulating someone’s victory.

Again, as if deeply cursing someone’s defeat.

“… ….”

Eris Betelgeuse stared blankly at the unreal and beautiful sight.

She thinks, the last moments of her life.

It was the end.

I lost.

And die.

Dominating thoughts filled her head, and tears that leaked spontaneously wet her cheeks.

Feeling the tears pouring out, the wizard pressed his lips together and closed his eyes tightly.

“Eh, are you crying?”

Eris immediately lifted her eyelids at the sound of a drug-like voice.

Ichimaru Shiki was walking slowly with a sloppy expression as usual.

Without a single wound.

All magic was meaningless.

She cried out, bursting into tears.

“Shut up!”

“Hmm, you have a worse personality than I thought.”

“Don’t talk for a long time, just finish it! Whoops, damn it! sh*t!”

“Well, having a spirit of improvement is not a bad thing. No, rather good!”

What the hell are you talking about, you bastard?

As she intuited her death, she sobbed and wiped away her tears, when Ichimaru Shiki, who had come close to her, nodded her head in satisfaction and said,

“I passed, so let’s talk about it right away. Miss Eris Betelgeuse.”

What are you talking about, you wicked man?

Eris Betelgeuse looked at the monster in front of him with a face full of tears, and he leaned over to match the half-prostrate wizard on the floor.

Kneeling on one knee, Ichimarushiki grabbed Eris’s hand with a smile on his face.

Then I will speak.

“Wouldn’t you like to be on the side of justice together?”

With the most sinister face in the world.

“…… What?”

Eris Betelgeuse blinked his eyes as he did not understand what he was saying for a moment.
