A Warrior Exiled by the Hero and His Lover - Chapter 221

Two hundred Zaureth.

—The level of each of them is approximately 1000, but their skills remain the same, it is better not to let your guard down.

The battle of two hundred against three is about to begin, and Zaureth’s original body did not move from its place, just watched.

—Frau, protect Kaede. I can manage on my own.

—But, master!

—Kaede, this is no time to look away! These guys are faster than I thought!

Zaureth’s copies connect their attacks without exchanging words, and they regenerated instantly after each attack we made.

It was like the dog trying to bite its own tail, something completely useless.

—I’m going to corner them all with my magic!

I joined Kaede with the enemy in tow, and she began to concentrate dense magic to fire it at them in a wide area.

Black clouds completely covered the sky.

—End of the lunar white descent!

The temperature begins to drop below freezing and the clouds touch the ground in the form of whirlpools.

Extremely cold winds froze the earth and transformed it into a pure white world.

Even the last Zaureth was turned into a statue of ice. Undoubtedly, this is extraordinary magic. 

Could we rename it as; super wide area magic?

On the other hand, Zaureth’s original body created a dome of flames around him to prevent his attack.

— No doubt it is amazing magic. But it’s a problem for me, eliminating you will be my top priority.

Zaureth begins to move, aiming at Kaede, and a horizontal flash was directed towards her neck.

But I was able to get there in time to stop him.

—My Lord, Kaede, stay away! 

—Huh?

—Fairy flash!

—Shit…

Frau flew straight at Zaureth, and as if it was a kamikaze attack, she shot an intense light from his body. 

Knowing this move beforehand, both Kaede and I closed our eyes, and then proceeded to thrust my sword at the one whose vision was compromised… But to no avail.

—You still don’t get it? You can’t beat me.

—True, but luckily, I’m not alone.

—Demon funeral festival!

Kaede, who was surrounded by blue flames, hit Zaureth hard.

This is the magic that Grandmother Tamamo had used against Ios. With each punch, her fists accelerate even more.

—You can’t fight me!

Zaureth reached out his hand to release his magic. But I cut off his arm before he could make such a move.

—You’d better die quietly!

Frau gives him a heavy blow with her hammer, causing him to fall to the ground.

—I must admit I am surprised. I didn’t figure you guys would be a real problem.

Kaede’s magic started to freeze his body, soon he won’t be able to move.

And again, when I think it’s all over, something happens that makes me eat my own words.

Many tentacles sprouted one after another from the ground and took us by surprise.

—You still don’t understand that you can’t beat me? Despite my appearance, I am not a person. I take this form not only for its ease of handling, but also because it is easy to fool human fools like you.

Zaureth cuts off all his frozen parts, then returns to his original form. As soon as he stood up, a large number of tentacles extended from his back.

—It looks like they are really in a dangerous situation… It’s time to put an end to this.

When Zaureth raised his hand to make another attack. A beam of light that came from somewhere burned the tentacles.

However, we couldn’t completely untie ourselves, as we had been pierced, and my body felt weaker and weaker.

—I will lower their level, and then take away their skills little by little.

—S—Stop.

I was running out of strength, as soon as I opened my status, I could tell that my level was dropping drastically.

Kaede and Frau are fighting with all their might, but there’s no sign of the tentacles unraveling.

If this keeps up, it will suck all my level.

—Gooooooooooooooooorgh!

The tentacles with which Zaureth had trapped us tore, causing the three of us to fall to the ground, and by reflex, he jumped backwards.

A ferocious beast tore off each of the tentacles being our savior. As soon as I looked up, I saw three people riding on its back.

—So, I guess that’s the enemy.

—Toru, girls! I finally found you!

—Hey, have you seen how good I am with the bow?

Marianne, Monica and Alusha.

We were paralyzed and unable to move.

—Marianne, give me the position, please.

—Yes, I’ll borrow your storage.

Marianne takes out the medicine and gives it to me to drink.

I got my body moving, but my level had dropped to 3000.

—Do you really plan to fight at that level?

—Clearly, I’m at a disadvantage, but I have no choice.

Despite my words of encouragement, I really don’t feel like I can win against him.

How can we beat this guy? The only chance we have is Kaede’s magic.

—I still have magic to contain it.

—And if we use the magic loan…?

—I don’t think it’s the right thing to do. My total amount has been reduced, which means that the magic of the nine tails could only use it once more.

The magic of that blue flame drains a lot of magic power. It seems that with the current Kaede, the only thing it can do is shoot icy funeral fire. Normal ice magic would have little effect on it. The situation is getting more and more difficult.

I guess we’ll have no choice but to run away… He won’t allow that though.

—I guess I have no choice but to use our last resort.

I had a bad feeling when I saw the determination in her eyes.

—Grandmother strictly forbade me to use it… But given the circumstances, it’s our last hope.

—Wait, Kaede!

—I’m sorry to break my promise. But it is the only way to save the master. All my days since I have been with you have been my greatest treasure. I am so glad to have met you. I love you, Toru-sama.

—Kaede, don’t do it.

Hearing those words coming from Kaede, made my heart shrivel.

—World of ice destruction!

Kaede heads towards Zaureth, and the next moment, a blue sphere enveloped them both. Lightning flashed around them and a strong wind blew.

Then, there was a violent flash of light and they disappeared without a trace.

All that remained of her were her two iron fans that fell and pierced the ground.

—A—Aah…

Seeing that scene, I lost all strength in my legs and fell to my knees.

—Very admirable of that girl, sacrificing herself to save her master’s life.

—!?

A black slime emerges from behind the rubble, and took the form of Zaureth.

—I figured something like this would happen, so I detached a part of my body and hid it as an insurance policy. My level has dropped to 20.00, but it will be enough to assassinate all of you.

A great anger was born inside me when I saw that Zaureth was still alive and Kaede’s sacrifice was in vain. 

Lightning flashes around me in sync with my fury.

—You bastard! Kaede… Kaede is dead! Why?! How could I let this happen?!

Frau was in tears and distressed at the unexpected events. But I had no time to think about it. My anger was the only thing keeping me in touch with reality.

Steam began to rise from my sacred sword, and the sacred armor I wore emitted an intense golden light.

So, you’re angry too? We have traveled together for a long time, and now it’s all over.

Give me your power, old friend. 

As much as the fan and Kaede and Frau’s hammer become light and are absorbed by my sacred armor.

Then, eight lights of unknown origin fall on me in the path of the armor… This means that… The sacred weapon is already complete?

The armor I am wearing intensifies its light even more, and then it goes from being on my chest to unite the entire sacred arsenal into a single sword in my right hand.

The Type 27 Sacred Wave Great Spirit Destroyer Machine was finally complete. Its original form was a divine great sword. Worthy of a powerful race.

—Impossible, are you saying that you forced the deactivation of the seals from the inside? You don’t have the authority to do something like that! 

Zaureth was terribly frightened. No wonder when you’re aware of the power of this thing.

My level had temporarily reached 300,000 thanks to the holy weapon.

I had the feeling that it was sucking a large amount of magic out of me.

The first thing I did was to throw a lightning bolt with the sword that discriminately burned everything and anything that came across it…

Don’t think I’m going to murder you gently, you bastard.

End of chapter 221… The next two chapters will be the end of this main story.
