V2C4 Part5

“……tu!”

Blood was dripping from Haruto’s left hand as he pressed his wound.

His wound opened.

It wasn’t unreasonable after all those slashes.

Iris felt a chill in her chest at the thought of the worst.

I have to stop this.

I myself could fight her instead.

Vario is also an Absolute people. She doesn’t want to kill him.

However, if she was weighing him against Haruto, her answer is obvious.

She stares at Leina, who is lying beside her.

You, will probably hold a grudge.

Even so, I —— don’t want Haruto-kun to die.

And Haruto-kun will get angry too.

It’s like I don’t fully trust Haruto-kun.

Even when he found out that I had a fiancé.

I was afraid that Haruto-kun would get tired of me.

Even though, I’ve been told that no one will ever hate me.

I——

“Haruto-kun!”

Iris’ voice echoed on Haruto’s back.

Her words that waver in the end——

She throws it at him boldly.

“That guy, isn’t your enemy, Haruto-kun!”

“……Iris”

Believe in your loved ones.

“If it’s Haruto-kun —— it’s easy peasy!!”

A smile appeared on Haruto’s face.

He carried his Phoenix on his shoulders.

He let go of the hand holding his wound and raised his thumb.

Then he glared at Vario, or rather Millennium.

“I’ve kept you waiting, I’m going seriously from here.”

Millennium laughs at Haruto’s declaration.

“Fuhn, what a boring bluff. If you destroy this body, this man will die too, you know?”

“Your spirit is also going to die, isn’t it?”

At Haruto’s simple answer, Millennium’s face tightened a little.

Haruto puts his bloody finger on Phoenix.

“『Flame』”

Holding the Phoenix sword covered in flames, Haruto smiled fearlessly.

Millennium holds her left shield out in front of her and her sword at her side. If he slashes at her, the shield will prevent it from doing so, and another hole will be made pn Haruto’s side.

As expected, he hesitated to thrust into her.

At the very least, he shouldn’t be able to attack straight away.

The longer I wait, the weaker and weaker he will become due to blood loss. Once he’s unconscious, he’s ours.

When Millennium thought so,

“Oooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhh!!”

He rushed at her in a straight line.

“!?”

Purple flames erupted from Millennium’s entire body.

Disastrous flames swirled around Millennium as if to protect her.

It’s the flame of the 『Soul of the Demon King(Romeo) 』.

It’s the power of darkness that gives enormous power to Millennium’s soul and the body of Vario.

It’s the power of the Demon King given to me by Master Lawrence.

After all, the other party is just a vessel. The body.

“The 『Demon King’s Half Body (Juliet) 』 can’t beat the 『Soul of the Demon King(Romeo) 』!”

She then sets up her shield.

The blue shield had now turned purple.

Haruto slammed the flaming sword down at it with all his might.

“Uoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!”

“Gou!?”

The result was a shock that shook her brain.

She heard the bones in her arm break.

Numbness and intense pain assaulted her.

Then, her shield, which was supposed to have been strengthened with the 『Soul of the Demon King (Romeo) 』, broke in half.

“Tu——!!”

However!

“Kuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!!”

She thrusts her sword toward Haruto.

The idea of holding back was no longer in her mind.

The opponent is the man who possesses the 『Demon King’s Half Body (Juliet) 』.

And yet, it wasn’t on her mind that it would be a bad idea to kill him.

Her instinct for survival drives the attack.

Haruto doesn’t have a shield.

——I can win.

That conviction, was shattered by a wall of flame.

“『Firewall』!!”

A fire magic circle has unfolded on Haruto’s left hand.

It was a fire-type defense magic.

However, it was only a wall of flame.

Although it can prevent ice magic and earth magic attacks, it is not suitable for defending against physical attacks.

If it was under normal circumstances.

——However,

“!?”

Haruto’s 『Firewall』 is extremely hot, which is out of the ordinary.

The sword she thrusted was melting.

——No way!?

“Grit your teeth, you b*tchhhhhhhhhhh!!”

Haruto’s fist , smashed the side of Vario’s face.

“Gah……!?”

Vario’s body was blown to the side. It rolled around on the floor in a strange posture, like a doll.

Haruto caught the phoenix that he had thrown up just before, and walked over to Millennium.

“Ku…… are you…… serious”

She was trying to get up, but she must be suffering from a severe concussion. Every time she tried to stand up, she rolled around on the floor in a strange way.

“You don’t tell your enemies the truth, right”

“You…… are worse than the Prospero bunch……”

As she said this, she suddenly lost consciousness.

“Hmm?”

There was a sound of wings flapping, and a lone owl came down.

This guy…… was the owl that gave me the letter, right?

When it stayed on the collapsed Vario’s head, it dropped a piece of paper in its mouth.

And then, when it flaps its wings again, it flies out from the lighting window near the ceiling.

“Haruto-kun!”

Iris comes running up to him with tears in her eyes.

“As Iris says, it was easy victory.”

“To what extent! Get to the infirmary quickly!”

Haruto opened the paper that the owl had dropped.

“……. I don’t think I can go to the infirmary just yet.”

“Eh?”

Haruto handed the paper to Iris.

“……Is this, from Millennium!?”

It was a letter left behind by Millennium.

『In the unlikely event that I fail, I’ll.clear.away❤

I’ve sealed the magic power I’ve accumulated from the repeated orgy parties in the Imperial Capital in the black onyx and submerged it in the lake.

If you escape with the familiar, the black onyx will have a chain explosion!

♪ The Gran Magia Magic Sorcery Academy will be destroyed ♪

You should run away as soon as possible ❤ 』

“No way…… destroy”

“Damn it! Did Millennium move into the owl some time ago! I should have caught it, dammit!!”

With that, Haruto started running.

“Ah! Haruto-kun!”

Iris followed after him.

The two went outside and looked around. Since the test was underway, everyone had probably gathered at the stadium. There was no one around.

“Lake huh……”

“Haruto-kun, we might know what’s going on if we climb over there!”

Iris pointed to the top of the clock tower, the tallest building in Grandia.

“Understood! 『Movement』!”

They use their movement magic to levitate their bodies, and ascend to the roof of the clock tower in one go.

“Kuh……!”

Haruto knelt when he landed, perhaps because his legs weren’t strong enough.

“Are you okay!?”

“Don’t worry. More than that, how’s the lake?”

“Yes…… there’s nothing —— ah!!”

When he stood up with the help of Iris, Haruto’s eyes also caught sight of something strange.

A large flock of birds is flying in the sky.

A white line, was also visible beyond the vast lake.

——Tsunami.

This must’ve been the magic power collected from a large number of nobles in a sexual magic ritual.

It exploded as dark magic.

“The result was this huh…… I wonder how many parties did they have to repeat to have this outcome”

It’s so far away that it doesn’t seem like a big deal. But in reality, the waves were dozens of meters high. If it reaches Grandia, then …….

“At this rate, the whole town will be wiped out.”

“The academy will probably be submerged as well. The only thing that won’t sink is probably this clock tower…….”

“Not if it doesn’t get swept away.”

Even if they could avoid destruction, many books, documents, and knowledge of magic would be lost.

Perhaps it also has countermeasures against the Northern Demons(Tempest) and Prospero.

And a lot of lives, too.

“I’ll have to do something somehow…… 『Move——』”

Haruto kneels in an attempt to use his magic. Blood was spurting out from the wound where Millennium had stabbed him.

“Ku……h”

“Haruto-kun!”

“……I’m fine. This isn’t the time for me to be worn out over here. I have to go now.”

However, Haruto’s complexion had gone pale. Clearly, he has spilled too much blood.

Iris looked at Haruto with a determined gaze.

“Haruto-kun, please stay here.”

“Iris?”

Then Iris, stared at the tsunami that was surely heading towards them.

“Wait, Iris! I’ll go! You—”

“Haruto-kun’s fire magic won’t be able to stop that tsunami.”

“……tsu!?”

“Even if it’s your ultimate magic …… it’s impossible to evaporate all the water in a lake.”

“Bu……but! I can’t let you go in there by yourself!”

Iris looked back at Haruto.

“Haruto-kun……”

“I want to save the Academy, but it won’t be a joke to lose you for it! I have no use for a world without Iris!!”

Iris floated a smile.

It was the happiest smile he’d ever seen.

“If so—— trust me.”

“……What?”

“I’m the head magician of Absolute, after all, you know?”

“I know! Such a thing! But ——“

“I’ll save both the academy and Haruto-kun. Because ……. I am”

Iris closed one eye and put her index finger to her lips.

“Just stay there and be quiet♪”

And then when she activated 『Movement』, she took off from the top of the clock tower.

Iris headed in a straight line for the harbor of Grandia.

The fishermen were panicking below her, as if they had noticed something strange.

Iris flies past the harbor and over the lake.

The waves are fiercer than usual, and beyond their line of sights——

……was something amazing.

It’s a huge water monster that rises up like a wall.

When they look it up close, they can clearly see the horror of it.

There’s nothing a human can do about it.

It swallows everything and destroys.

It’s the fearsome power of nature.

An overwhelming catastrophe that the ancients called the wrath of God.

There was nothing that can be done about it, not even with magic.

Normally.

Iris stopped in the middle of the lake and landed on the surface of the water, keeping her movement magic intact.

Her appearance, is like a fairy of the sea.

She pulls out a blue sword, Streptopelia, from her uniform pocket.

She took one big deep breath.

She closes her eyes and calms her mind.

In the face of a catastrophic tsunami, Iris’ mind is as lucid as clear ice.

Her eyes then open.

Her blue eyes shine as if they were luminous.

Iris held Streptopelia in front of her.

She then raised two fingers of her left hand against the blade.

“——Spirit of Snow, Queen of Freeze, respond to my call.”

She slides her fingertips over the blade.

Golden magic characters run on the blue sword.

A huge magic circle unfolds beneath Iris’ feet.

The surrounding air changes, and the temperature plummets.

“——Contain it in the white of innocence and cruelty, in the blue of purity and horror.”

Multiple magic circles floated around Iris, each connected by streaks of light.

Countless magic characters floated around the sword in her hand.

A thick cloud hangs in the sky.

Despite the fact that it is the season when they start to hear the footsteps of summer, it’s like they’re in the middle of winter.

From the surface of the lake touched by the toes of Iris, the ice spreads like ripples.

The frozen surface of water turns bright white.

Glittering objects were dancing in the air as if to bless Iris.

It was like the northern land where the students trembled, the polar region where the garrison soldiers feel the danger for their lives.

The cold air made the place seem like a mild late fall weather.

A cold that makes even the Northern demons(Tempest) fear for their lives.

“——Take away the heat of the soul, stop the movement of life, and bring me silence and tranquility.”

The white cold air swirled in her surroundings.

A low temperature that can no longer be created by nature.

Even the wonders of nature are frozen in place——,

“——To the absolute zero hell.”

Iris’ eyes glowed blue, and she drew her sword of absolute zero.

“Absolute Zero Hell!”

The surrounding space, stopped all of their movement.

The Absolute Zero Hell, assaults water’s violence.

The overwhelming destructive power of nature, is killed by the unnaturalness of unreasonable laws.

The heat was taken away in an instant from the tsunami, which would have so easily taken the life out of the town that people have built.

And, as if time had stopped,

It froze.

What emerged, was a magnificent water statue.

The dynamic beauty of its form, captures the moment of the waves as they arc and undulate.

Like a dragon, the wall of water that ran across the lake was transformed into a work of ice art.

This is the ultimate magic of Absolute.

It has been three hundred years since its theory was created. It was a theory that no one has ever been able to achieve.

This was the first time that it had been realized in the real world.
