I shudder against the source of the infection, Mors.
–A shiver.
An emotion I have never felt even when facing the disaster-class demon king Galvoron.
Am I terrified, or am I just …… afraid of Mors?
But that’s not all.
“I see,……. I have mixed feelings, but part of me is glad that man was my father.”
I was glad to be able to call him “dad” for just a short time and to treat him as a father and son.
Mors sneered at my words, “Hmph!”
“So you’re saying you can’t kill me? Don’t worry, Atum has been dead for 15 years. The persona I showed you is a pseudo-personality I created based on his memories. And that’s not a mistake, is it? Seti, I am the father to you!”
At Mors’ words, I bite my lip so hard that blood seeps out.
I was so furious that I knew the whole truth and kept my composure, but I was also so passionate that my fear vanished.
–I was so furious that my fear disappeared!
“Shut up! Mors, I will kill you! With the power that’s been given to me! Prepare yourself!”
This would effectively be my last fight.
I drew two daggers from my waist and readied myself.
“Pai! This is where I’ll end up with Mors! I want you to remove the skill you gave Sister Ruka, and use the Prison Brand to create a ward around me and Mors!”
“All right, Seti!”
“Kale, break the spell you cast on Hina and the others, and prepare an offensive spell to burn me and Mors out if anything should happen to me!”
“Yes, my Lord, ……, but are you sure you want to do this?”
“It’s okay, it’s only a last resort! If Pai allows it, magic attacks can pass through the warding! We’re both assassins, we should be able to do that! Pairon, please!”
“I understand…… But I trust Seti as his wife!”
Yes, but we’re not married yet.
“All right, Seti sama, you can rest assured …… Even if I become a bone, I will love you as your seventh wife!”
Well, you’re a skull, too.
By the way, Kale, when did you become the seventh wife?
Mors, on the other hand, is sticking his tongue out while witnessing our exchange.
“Damn, Kale, you …… have completely betrayed us. Not only that, you’re completely in love with him and infatuated with him, aren’t you? That’s why I can’t trust the existence of women. 500 years ago, you wandered around as a Dead Spirit Sage. You forgot the kindness I gave you by giving you consciousness…”
“You’re only using her for your own gain! As a convenient pawn like me! !”
I kicked the ground and charged at Mors.
A dagger and a magic sword crossed blades and sparks flew.
“– [Prison Brand]!”
Pairon activated her skill.
A hexagonal-shaped ward of about 30 meters in a straight line was set up around me and Mors.
The battle area as the final battle was completed.
Kale has cancelled the “barrier magic” and “smoke concealment” magic on Hina and the others, and is chanting a new attack magic.
The fact that she could use powerful magic without any problem, even if it was a skull, was the greatest advantage of the “Sage of the Dead” who is immortal.
“The stage is now set! Aren’t you going to get serious, Seti?!”
In the midst of the brinksmanship, Mors pushes and pushes with overwhelming force, blasting me away.
“Ugh! Don’t keep on getting carried away–《Biological Function Amplification and Enhancement》activated, limiters released!”
My pupils turned red, and the skin of my body lit up with tattoos of the same color with ancient magic spells written on them.
I quickly regain my stance and slide to a landing on the ground.
I look up and catch sight of Mors with my sharp eyes.
But the figure that should have been in front of me is not there.
“Chest!!!”
Mors leapt before I knew it and closed the distance of several meters at once.
He raised his “Magic Sword Ansalar” and slashed at me, aiming at the top of my head.
I evaded with a sideways leap, but the trajectory of the blade changed to a horizontal slash due to the pursuit ability of the “Demon Sword” and struck me in the neck.
But just before the blade touches me, I leap backward. Using the transparent boundary, or “Prison Brand,” as a base, I kicked up and used the momentum of the kick to slash at Mors.
Giiiiiin!
The blades crossed once again, sparks and spattering.
Suddenly, I felt a strange sensation and frowned.
Mors, who was facing me, lifted his lips in a grin.
“I’m glad you didn’t dare to take a sword strike with your dagger, Seti! The Magic Sword Ansalar that I wield in my perfect form boasts a mass of magical power that can distort space and time! No matter how much you defend yourself and prevent the slash, your body will be shattered by the intense pressure of magical power! Even if it is strengthened with Biological Function Amplification Enhancement!”
“Is this an enhanced version of the Distorted Space Realm skill, a grace bestowed on …… Pasha for her ability to distort space-time? I believe each of the Four Pillars of Hell had the power to divide you into four equal parts, right?”
“That’s right! But after all, they are fragile children. No matter how much I tried to disperse it into four equal parts, I couldn’t get as much power as this body! In that sense, it was no exaggeration to say that Atum, who was hailed as the greatest swordsman on the continent of Euros, had the strongest body in history! And as its successor, it will be passed on to his son, your body!”
As Mors spoke boldly, I pushed off with all my strength in both arms and landed with my whole body twisted in a way that played off the blade.
I moved at high speed to the rear of him and struck him with two daggers in rapid succession.
However, a magic circle, which resembled a circular shield, appeared from behind Mors, automatically tracking him and defending him from all the slashes.
Even so, it’s as if the blades were impenetrable,…….
“Is this a skill of the dragon people called Drake?”
“Yes, the grace I gave him, Absolute Invincible Strength Scale! Drake only clothed his own scales, but this is how it was originally used!”
A strong shield version of “Magic Sword Ansalar” with automatic tracking ability. You can think of it that way.
However, even when I faced Drake, I couldn’t get any proper attacks through, so it’s a troublesome skill.
I was further attacked.
The magic circle that had been deployed split into six, and blades grew out of it like tentacles and attacked me.
The blades hit me in the cheeks, side, and thighs, but I barely managed to avoid being fatally wounded by repelling the blades with my dagger.
“I-Is this Zangetsu’s “Infinite Sword Style”?”
“Ah, this is also an automatic tracking type skill! The true power of Mors, the infection source, is all about attack and defense, Setii! ! Hahahahaha! ! ! ”
Mors rushed forward with a cry of delight.
I managed to use my speed to keep my distance from him while avoiding the attack.
Fortunately, I was faster than him.
However, the area of escape is limited by the fact that the combat zone is defined by the “Prison Brand”.
If I continue like this, I will be killed.
The only trump card, the “super god speeding”, is whether or not it is possible to get through the distorted space and solid magic circle deployed by the “Magic Sword Ansalar” and deliver a slashing blow.
“…… Mors. Such a flashy attack would severely damage my body, which you want, wouldn’t it?”
“Psychological warfare? It’s useless! After I kill you, I will revive your body! Because at the same time that I gave my will to Demon Sage Kale, I also shared the Forbidden Magic that she acquired! Even if it’s impossible to come back to life, anything is possible if I can revive your body! By the way, since you are Atum’s son, it would be easy to take away his body without forming a covenant! For me, Seti, your will and soul are unnecessary! ”
So you’ve had your eye on me all this time?
As an insurance policy for Atum’s aging and deteriorating body,……, this is a very Mors-like thought.
If my body will be taken over by Mors like this–
I glanced in the direction of Kale, the skull who was chanting magic.
As we had agreed, I’m going to use her maximum attack magic to burn Mors to extinction, along with me.
Mors will probably take no damage, but the humiliation of having his body taken away from me will allow me to avoid the worst-case scenario.
After all, I am an assassin.
I am a man who has killed and taken countless lives.
No matter how much I try to atone, I will never be able to wipe off this bloody hand.
Now, I can accept my fate with no regrets.
Karina, Fiala, Miriel, Manisa, Pairon …….
I would have loved to have had a dream with those beautiful girls, even if only for a moment.
And Hina, Shabazzo, and Pomple.
I was happy to have such a family for me.
It was a pleasure to travel with you all and run the lunch wagon.
Thank you so much—
