Seiju no Kuni no Kinju Tsukai - Chapter 29

Chapter 29 (Beyond the Forbidden Spell)

I look up at the giant who appeared from the magic formation.

"Oooooh... "

I-Is this what you call a demon ?
Living inside the sacred ruins, it's similar to that of RPG monster isn't it ?
I see. So in this world, that sort of thing exists eh ?

"Or rather..."

I wonder how many meter is that thing...
Hmm...Around 10 meters high I guess ?

"Uu..."

First, the giant looking around restlessly, and then the giant looking here...
S-Scary...
With that bloodshot eye, it feels like it holds strange force enough to petrified people who looking at it.

"I-It's really going to be okay right, headmistress !?"
"Even if it's you, if something were to happen it will be a big problem... !"
"Even if it's only for the purpose to make us believe that he's a forbidden spell user, but you don't have to go this far... !"

I heard the voice of the uncle from behind me.
However, there's no sign that Makina-san going to respond them.

And at that timeーー
The giant roared...
A roar that sounds like it has come from the abyss.
The atmosphere shakes.
Such terrifying roar that causes my body to shiver...
Khuu, Damn it, to think this is just from a roar... s-scary, seriously scary...!

"ーーbut, huh ?"

Then I've noticed something
The one-eyed giant, were making sounds *shuushuu* while creating some white smoke around its body.
It as if its body has been bathed with acid.

"Kurohiko !"

Makina-san called me while raising her voice.
I turn my face back

"The demon from sacred ruins, if its stay too long outside the ruins it will have its body dissolved completely, though it takes time to completely dissolved, you have to do this quickly, or else your spotlight will be gone..."

So she said...
I have to use the forbidden spell... !
I face the one-eyed giant...
... however, that forbidden spell, will it be enough against this kind of opponent ?
Not only the size is big... it also seems to be very strong...

".................."

No...
I've gone this far, there's no other way other than to use it...

"I-I understand ! I will do it !"

Somehow the one-eyed giant has turned its target to me...
The one-eyed giant has it muscle swell while making *gugugu* sounds.
And I can see blood vessel on his thick arm and food.
And then the giant roared...

"Groaaaaaaa !"

N-Noisy... !
... Nn ?
Uwaaah !

The giant raised its foot !?

... coming...!
It's coming this way !
E-Err.. F-First lets put on some pose... !
First, I take a deep breath and raise my arm to the front.
With this, it makes it more realistic...ーーsomehow, how should I put it, isn't this looks cool ?

The one-eyed giant takes the first step forward.
*BAAM*, the ground shakes...
I can feel my body also shaking...

"...................."

Calm down, me... !
... Alrightーー
Concentrateー
Targetingーー the one-eyed giant...

"Iー... The forbidden spell of departureー"

It's alright...
I can do it...
I can do this !

"Iー, The king of chainsー the prison of the furthest endー the ten thousand chains... under my commandー restrict my opponentー"
<TLN : I'm sorry for this, this is actually using old fashion Japanese language, thus that's mean I need to use archaic English... the problem is, I'm not good with it... so I leave it like this>

Goー...

"The ninth forbidden spellー release !"

................

Nn ?
H-Huh ?
Nothing happen... ?
Just when I feel anxious...

Four dark red circles appeared in the space, and then it opened its mouth.

ーーHere it comes...

And then a lot of black chains comes out from it.
The chains make gritty sounds while binding the giant arms and legs.

"Gaaa, Goaaaaa, Gu, Goaaaaaaa !"


The giant screamed...
The chains that assailed the giant looks like a fly flying around its body.
Somehow the giant tried to ward of the chains with his arm.
However, other chains slip through and mercilessly attacks the giant.
The chains are thicker than the one which binds Makina-san before.
Somehow the thickness seems to change according to the size of the target.
Gradually the giant movement being restricted.

Then I take a relieved breath.
First, I-I'm glad that I can do it properly...

The giant whose body being restricted looking up to the sky.
And then the giantー roared...
The roar which comes from the giant abdomen carries an intense anger...

Thenー...

"... Eh ?"

The giant eye started to emit red light.
What is it ? when I was thinking for a moment.
*Gungun* the giant body swelled...
ーNo, that's not it...
Does the muscle which being restricted by the chains are the one swelled ?
The giant put all its strength into its body.
Don't tell meー does the giant tried to tear apart the chains !?

"Damn it !"

Please, hang in there !
When I clenched my fist and grinding my teeth.

"Huh ?"

The chains tightened harder.
I though it was just a normal chains, but somehow it has increased it strength a littleー.

ーJust what...

...........................

T-That's right !
Search, ーSearch...
I image myself searching...
<TLN : I was almost deliberately changed this into "I imagine myself searching on Wikipedia">
I access the forbidden spell database inside my mind...

By the way, I said searching, but the truth is when I first learned the forbidden spell, I can access general information about it...
However, at that time, I'm unable to understand it or rather... it didn't come to my mind...
<TLN : This is similar to mind palace I think... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Method_of_loci >

But now it naturally comes.
And the information regarding the current situation in this area also comes to my head...
... Oh, here it is...

......................

I see... so that's how it is...
I put strength on my hand, and then the chains responded... so this is why the chains had tightened earlier huh ?

Alright...
If that the case...

"A-As if I'll let you go !"

The light emitted from the giant eye becomes stronger.
And then while it struggled, it tried to slip away from the chains.
However, I clench my fist stronger as if to not letting it loose.
In the meanwhile, the white smokes that appeared from his body rise to the sky... when I look at it, the face of the giant has been dissolved a little.

I should wait for the time until the giant completely dissolved just like this, then it will end―...

"... But wait―"

That's right...
When I used the forbidden spell at Makina-san before...
『In other words, this is only the first stage huh ?』 

I was only able to touch that information a little.
I saw it just a little bit.
That time.
That's right...
This forbidden spellー have another move...

"................"

Should I use it ?
As expected, having Makina-san as the opponent before, I can't use the 『next stage』 ... but with this giant as an opponent then...

It's alright...
About the incantationー... it had already been installed.
<TLN : It's seriously said "Installed" using katakana>
I fixed my sight at the giant.
*Suu* I take a deep breath once again...
I clenched my fist harder to the point my nails dig into my palm.

And then I start chanting...

"Iー, the chains which tied the prisonersー, Iー, the black spear of greed that punishes the criminalー..."

... I guess I've already getting used to this poem-like chant eh ?

"The ninth forbidden spellー

I open my clenched hand...

"Second stage... release !"

After I recite the invocation, change happen immediately.
The four dark red dimensional hole has increasedー there are another four of it appeared.
And then, from that dimensional hole, it appearー

A black spear...

Several dozens of black spears that appeared from the dimensional hole pierce the giant body.

"Goaaaaaaa ! Gaaaaaaa ! Graaaaaaa !"

Before the spear pierced the body of the giant, the chains moved making space for it...as if having its own mind.
The spear that comes out from the dimensional hole attacked the giant like a surging wave.
From the place where the spear pierced, a liquid ーI guess that's bloodー flow out.
However, despite the one who uses the forbidden spell is me, isn't that number too many ?
ーeven if it's to kill the giant, I think the spear don't have to go to that extent.
Looking at this scene, somehow, I feel afraid...

The attack did not stop

To the contrary, the giant roar has changed into a small mutter, and lose its power.
The voice of the giant becomes weaker.
Listening to itー it's as if asking me to stop...
The spears that appeared simultaneously stabbed at the giant eye.

"Gaaaa..."

............................

After that, the giant completely remained silent...
Then *BAAM* the giant that already died, fall down while still being entangled by the chains.
From there, it's body dissolved quickly...
The giant body begin to lose it shape.
After the skin dissolved, the entrails dissolved, lastly, the bone dissolved...
It makes sounds like bubbles evaporating...
The blue blood that being spilled on the ground also disappeared.

For a while, nobody uttered a word.
I too gazed at the scene dumbfounded...
Thus the giant without leaving any trace disappeared.
Though I'd only chanting a forbidden spell thus I should not feel tired but... suddenly a great fatigue assaults me.
It might be because all the tension I have since the beginning finally gone...

"... I-I did it, didn't I ?"

......................................................


Like that, the first magic art lesson ended this way...
