I’ve Reincarnated And I’m OP! - Chapter 42

[Valeria’s perspective]

Girls, this guy is stronger than you guys, stay back-Kasumi.

At Kasumi’s words we all stayed where we were, I hadn’t spent as much time with him as Arisa, Noel, Shiro or Yui had, but I was sure of something, if he warned us that the enemy was powerful, there was no doubt that he surpassed us all, while Kasumi approached the man in front of the throne made a grimoire appear, the truth was I was quite surprised to find someone who could control a grimoire on the human continent, usually the only people who can control grimoires are very high level demons, they are practically like kings in human terms.

That demon is very powerful, be alert, he may try to attack us too-Valeria.

I don’t think I can do anything in front of Kasumi-Arisa.

The same I think, he is very powerful-Shiro.

(I already know that, but he is also clueless and if he trusts himself too much, he may fall into a trap).

As Kasumi began to prepare to fight on the sides of the demon, four Elementals appeared, each one of them was made entirely of its own element, these being water, earth, fire and air, after being summoned each Elemental began to move towards Kasumi, As is obvious, Kasumi did not back down and only took out the sword that she carried on her waist and launched herself against the water elemental, the several-meter-tall monster began to release small tides that it created from its own body, as if it were just a game Kasumi walked towards the Elemental as she walked on the water and cut the waves with a single movement of her sword, while she continued to approach the Water Elemental the rest of the Elementals began to launch different attacks on her, the fire one was launching a constant flow of fire. Without stopping, the one on the ground threw stone spears that came out from the ground, and the one on air threw wind blades at him, quickly all the attacks came to the target of him which he just stood by receiving all the attacks as if they were nothing.

I did not know whether to feel relieved or to feel fear, on the one hand I felt relieved that Kasumi was someone very powerful and that she always protected us, but on the other hand I was afraid that if he would get out of control and start acting like the nobles No one could stop him, although I was aware that this would never happen due to the time we had already spent together, and also out of pure curiosity while Kasumi slept on some occasions I looked at her dreams, at first I did it to find out what her intentions were, but my surprise was great when I just saw practically our day to day, almost always his dreams were about us traveling or living with him as an ordinary family, there were only some small occasions that he had strange dreams, in them he always looked at a young man In a strange looking house, the young man could not recognize his face since it was very distorted like the whole place, even though I used my magic to try to clarify The dream always looked very distorted, the little I could see of the dream was about the life of that young man in the strange-looking house and a woman and a man who could only see them for small moments, but whenever several minutes passed In the dream the whole dream began to distort even more and ended up disappearing, it was very strange, it seemed as if he was trying to dream about that young man but something forced the dream to disappear, I never said anything to Kasumi and neither to the girls about that that I watched on some occasions, I didn’t tell Kasumi because I knew he didn’t remember those weird dreams and as for the girls, I didn’t want to worry them; While I was lost in my thoughts, Noel took me out of there putting his hand on my shoulder.

Something is wrong, I feel like there is a lot of mana gathering in that demon’s grimoire, I don’t like this-Noel.

Don’t worry, only the living Earth Elemental remains-Shiro.

Hearing Shiro’s words I noticed that it was just as she had said, the only Elemental left alive was with his back on the ground while Kasumi inserted her sword into the Elemental’s stomach, with a single insertion the stone colossus was destroyed, then After destroying the Elemental he began to walk towards the demon that for some reason was smiling, when Kasumi was only a few meters from the demon, I could see how it said something but I did not hear anything at all due to the distance, but for some reason Kasumi He stopped and just stood doing nothing.

HAHAHAJAJAJAJA-Demon.

As if he was crazy, the demon out of nowhere began to laugh without stopping, hearing that laugh I couldn’t help but feel very afraid, something was not right.

Hey Kasumi, why are you stopping? -Arisa.

Arisa was the first to speak, but there was no response, out of nowhere the demon walked up to Kasumi and put his hand on her shoulder.

This idiot boy you look at here, now he’s under my control, turn around-Demon.

Slowly Kasumi turned around and in his gaze I could see something completely different, he did not look like a human or some conscious being, he looked more like a doll, I couldn’t help but take a step back when looking at Kasumi like that.

DON’T FUCK ME, WAKE UP IDIOT! -Arisa.

Arisa yelled loudly to Kasumi as she could hear that her voice sounded very worried, I turned to the girls and each one of them noticed how her breaths were stronger and her hands were shaking a little, I was not The exeption.

It’s useless girl, I used the most powerful mind control spell, with that spell I even mastered the core of this Ancient-Demon labyrinth.

The demon grinned at us sinisterly as he pointed his hand at us.

Eliminate them-Demon.

Without hesitation Kasumi began to walk in our direction, fear quickly increased in all of us, I did not know him as much as the girls, but something that I was very clear about was that he was very strong, much stronger than all of us together, quickly the The girls drew their weapons and prepared to fight, I being the physically weakest they stood in front of me.

I’ll try to reason with him, if it doesn’t work, we’ll have to fight-Arisa.

Well, Valeria, Noel, you must support us from behind, do not approach Kasumi at any time, his physical strength is too high to try to face him-Yui.

We nodded in confirmation to Yui’s orders, while we watched as Kasumi approached us, Arisa began to walk towards Kasumi and stopped in front of him, stopping both of them remained without doing anything for a moment, but after a few seconds Arisa hugged Kasumi and gave him a kiss on the lips.

React, please-Arisa.

There was no response from Kasumi, but the demon did speak.

Hit her-Demon.

Without thinking twice Kasumi raised her hand and slapped Arisa on the right side of her face, due to the force of the blow she shot out of the place and hit the wall behind us.

Arisa! -Shiro.

Not being able to believe what we had seen I was frozen and I could feel how fear invaded my body more, Shiro when looking at Arisa being hit ran towards where she had impacted, but before Arisa arrived she got up without any difficulty.

He is very strong, I thought he would die, but the ring resisted the blow-Arisa.

It was just as she had said, her ring was shining slightly, that was the sign that the enchantment of the ring had been activated.

What a good tool they have there-Demon.

Unfortunately for us the devil had overheard our conversation and now he knew about our rings, the girls got into position ready to attack again, it was time to start the fight.

The first to attack were Shiro and Yui, both ran at an incredible speed and began to attack Kasumi from different sides, unfortunately for them Kasumi exceeded her speed, although both attacked from different sides Kasumi seemed to have divided to defend the two attacks at the same time, they seeing that it was impossible to distance themselves from him to think of a better strategy.

It’s impossible, he far exceeds our speed-Shiro.

Even if it’s impossible, I won’t give up-Yui.

Yui used the reinforcement magic that Kasumi had taught her and in a simple blink she had disappeared, I was looking for her around the place and as I did so I realized that Kasumi was not there either, when looking at that I understood that they were both fighting at such a speed high that I could not even see them, while trying to find out where they were I felt small currents of air around the place and also heard blows, I looked towards the direction of the sound of the blows and to my surprise Yui shot out of nowhere and hit the ground and worst of all was that she was quite tired and I was more surprised to see that of her two swords she only had the hilt.

Yui was panting from exhaustion and while trying to recover Kasumi appeared in front of her and kicked her in the abdomen, Yui shot backwards again and before she hit the wall Kasumi appeared behind her and hit her again, due to the angle the one Yui was in fell right in front of us, completely passed out.

It’s impossible-Valeria.

HAHAHA now you realize, this idiot for some strange reason is very strong and now he belongs to me-Demon.

Although it hurt me to accept it, it was the truth, Kasumi was under the control of the demon and it was impossible for us to come back to ourselves.

Don’t give up girls, there has to be a way to make it come back-Arisa.

Arisa, although she looked scared, was still maintaining her attitude, she drew her sword and ran towards Kasumi, while she was running, her sword was shining slightly and when they are only meters from Kasumi, Arisa’s sword shone an even stronger red color, Arisa made a horizontal cut towards Kasumi who simply raised her sword to stop the attack, both swords hit so hard that they formed a curtain of air all over the place and the ground at her feet cracked abruptly, they continued to collide with the swords and as More time went by, the blows were even more powerful than the previous ones, while they continued to fight the ground below them continued to destroy themselves even more.

What an overwhelming power …- Valeria.

But still not enough-Noel.

Looking carefully at the fight I realized that with each clash of the swords, Shiro’s sword began to have small lines of golden color, after a lot of clashes Arisa’s sword reached its limit and it was destroyed, although her sword It had been destroyed. Arisa threw the hilt of it to the ground and began to fight using her fists, while she did that I could see that there were tears on Arisa’s face.

Because you were so careless, if you had been careful this would not have happened-Arisa.

As she said that, more tears fell from her face and the speed of the blows increased.

Because, because this has to be happening-Arisa.

With those words she managed to punch Kasumi on the right cheek, but obviously he did not suffer a scratch, Kasumi grabbed Arisa’s hand with her left hand and with her right hand she punched Arisa that made her bend down, The moment she ducked, Kasumi kicked her on the chin which made her stand up abruptly.

Noel, Shiro and I were dumbfounded by the brutality in which she was hitting Arisa, luckily her ring was protecting her, Kasumi kept hitting Arisa for a while and when she had already taken about twenty blows she released Arisa’s hand, she fell to the ground breathing heavily.

Break his arms-Demon.

Hearing those words Kasumi without hesitation put her foot on Arisa’s back and grabbed her right arm with both hands and with a simple squeeze broke Arisa’s arm at the forearm, Arisa’s screams were heard all over the place, Hearing her wailing I clenched my teeth and my fists, I wanted to run to help her, but I was afraid.

Arisa’s forearm bone was visible and a lot of blood was coming out, once the right arm had been broken Kasumi released it and grabbed the left one, at the moment that Kasumi was going to break Arisa’s left arm a wind blade impact against Kasumi’s neck, it was obviously Noel.

I looked at Noel and she was with an annoyed face, the blade hadn’t done anything to Kasumi but that was enough for him to get distracted from Arisa.

I’m going to distract him, you guys get Arisa out of there and heal her with this-Noel.

Noel gave us a healing potion and ran away from all of her while he threw wind blades at Kasumi, after receiving some attacks Kasumi put her attention on Noel and started walking towards her.

When Kasumi had gotten far enough away from Arisa, Shiro and I ran towards her, when we got to where Shiro was grabbing her arm and clenching her teeth while enduring the intense pain, I uncapped the potion and gave it to her right away, instantly that she drank the option her arm bone looked again for its place to stay as it was before, while Shiro’s arm was getting ready she could not help but give a cry of pain, after a few seconds of suffering the arm was left as if it had never nothing would have happened to him.

Does it still hurt ?, I have more potions-Valeria.

No, it doesn’t hurt anymore … that was scary-Arisa.

I imagine it …- Shiro.

The environment was a bit quiet but out of nowhere a gigantic explosion was heard, we looked at the place coming from the noise and what we looked at was a very exhausted Noel who only had half of his scepter, Noel was on one knee and he held with what was left of his scepter.

No ….. I can ….. more-Noel.

Noel was about to fall but before he did Kasumi grabbed her hair and kicked her chin, Noel was on the verge of fainting due to fatigue but before he did Kasumi kept hitting her until Noel would barely have one eye, Kasumi lifted her hair up to her height and started punching her in the stomach until she made Noel spit blood, looking at that I was surprised as Kasumi had told us that the ring would protect us from any physical and magical blow And from what I was looking at Noel was receiving the blows, I quickly looked at Noel’s ring and it had lost its silver color, Noel’s ring was a dark color and when Kasumi hit Noel the ring did not emit any shine.

Noel’s ring no longer works, Kasumi is going to kill her! -Valeria.

The girls were shocked when they heard my words and started running towards her, Shiro being the fastest overtook us and kicked Kasumi in the face to make him leave Noel, with that Kasumi walked away from Noel and focused on Shiro.

Noel! -Valeria.

Use the potions quickly! -Arisa.

Quickly from my ring I took out seven potions and started giving them to Noel one after another, in just a few seconds all of Noel’s wounds were completely healed and I also restored part of his mana with three of the potions.

My ring no longer works and I barely have any mana, I can’t go on-Noel.

Rest, we’ll take care of it-Shiro.

Arisa pulled out a slightly simpler sword than the one she had previously and ran off in the direction where Shiro was fighting Kasumi.

I’ll fight too-Valeria.

I took out my crossbow and prepared for battle, I loaded an arrow and shot it at Kasumi straight to the head, the arrow shot out with impressive speed but the arrow only shattered when it hit Kasumi’s head.

I knew, I’m useless in this situation-Valeria.

It was the most obvious, because of my race my strength was not compared to that of the girls, I barely had half the strength of the girls, that even if it was a lot in a normal combat, to fight against Kasumi it was useless.

But I still don’t care-Valeria.

I loaded another arrow and ran towards the girls who were fighting against Kasumi, as I was getting closer I shot arrows over and over again, although the arrows did not do any damage at least they distracted him, while the girls were fighting against Kasumi I kept shooting him more arrows and at a time when Arisa and Shiro attacked at the same time Kasumi hit the two to push them away and disappeared, I looked for Kasumi as fast as I could but when I realized her location it was too late.

Valeria! -Shiro.

I did not feel pain but if I felt something hit my back, Kasumi had hit me on the back that had made me fall against the ground, I tried to get up but before I did I felt another blow sink to the ground, I looked as the girls approached but I kept feeling like another and another blow sank me even more to the ground, after countless blows I felt something sharp made its way into my back.

AAAAAAHHHH! -Valeria.

I couldn’t help screaming when I felt that inexplicable pain, the pain continued to get stronger when I felt that something was in my abdomen and it was going through it, I felt like my entire abdomen began to heat up due to a warm liquid.

(Blood…).

After a short moment that seemed eternal to me I felt like the object that had stabbed me was withdrawing, when the object came out completely I looked at Kasumi who was walking with her sword in her hand and dripping a slightly pink liquid, my blood .

(Is this how I’m going to die?)

My sight was starting to get slightly blurred and all I was looking at were the figures of Kasumi, Arisa and Shiro fighting, as I looked at those blurred figures I felt tears running down my face.

(At least I was happy for a moment, although it was short I was happy).

My vision began to get even more blurred and my body became heavier, while all that happened I remembered everything I had lived, my life before I met Kasumi had been only sadness but when I met him he was the light in my darkness .

(Dad, Mom … we will meet soon).

I could only think that since my sight had darkened.

………………………………………….. ………

[Arisa’s perspective].

Things weren’t improving at all, Kasumi had knocked Yui unconscious, Noel barely had any mana and worst of all was that Valeria was on the brink of death, when we watched Kasumi stab Valeria we ran as fast as we could to help her but He prevented us from getting close, no matter how much we tried to distract him, he always stopped us.

While we were fighting against Kasumi I saw that Noel was still tired and walked to Valeria and began to heal her while giving her potions, I calmed down and put all my attention on the fight when I saw that Valeria was already safe but if we couldn’t stop Kasumi we were all going to die anytime.

While we were trying to stop Kasumi Shiro out of nowhere she disappeared like Kasumi, I walked away from the place looking at that since it was impossible for me to match her speed, I ran to Noel to see Valeria’s state but just when she was about halfway there. Shiro way appeared in front of me without her weapons and bleeding from her abdomen, I grabbed Shiro and tried to wake her up but she didn’t.

No …- Arisa.

I put my ear to her chest and heard that her heart was barely beating, I was relieved that she was not dead but she was passed out, I carried Shiro up to Noel but I felt something go through my back, I looked back and it was Kasumi who had stabbed me With his sword, I grit my teeth and kept running towards Noel, but I only advanced a few steps when I felt Kasumi stab my back again, the pain was brutal but I didn’t stop, I kept running and out of nowhere Kasumi appeared in front of me and swing his sword towards my head, I instinctively closed my eyes but all I felt was a draft of air, I opened my eyes and looked at Yui’s figure who was holding Kasumi’s sword with her hands.

My ring still has some resistance, I’ll distract it, you run-Yui.

Without thinking twice I ran as far as I could towards Noel, I barely reached when my legs could not take it anymore and I fell to the ground with Shiro in my arms, Valeria who had already awakened due to the potions helped me to get up and heal us.

We only finished healing when Yui’s body fell next to us, I approached her as best I could and gave her a healing potion to heal the wounds that were all over her body, I looked at all the girls and we were all so tired that None of us was standing, as I could, I stood up and walked until I was in front of all of them, I tried to take one more step but my legs did not respond and I fell to my knees.

Kasumi who was not too far from all of us and walked slowly until she was in front of me.

This is the end of her-Demon

The demon who had only observed everything in silence approached a little.

Kill them-Demon.

The moment I heard that I looked up, I looked at Kasumi who slowly began to move her hand towards her sword that was now on her waist, I did not even know when he had put his sword away, the only thing I knew was that he no longer we could do nothing.

Is this how it all ends? After helping us, taking care of us, training us and loving us, will we die by your hands? At least I have the consolation that if I die it will be for the man who loved me and I loved-Arisa.

I couldn’t do anything but smile and say those words as tears ran down my cheeks.

I did not lower my gaze and closed my eyes since I did not want to watch him murder me, while I remained with my eyes serrated I listened as the sword was drawn, while I listened to all that all the moments that I had spent with Kasumi passed through my mind, from the The first day he had saved us until the time we had fought in the Labyrinth, both our bad moments and our beautiful moments, I all looked at them quickly, the last memory I looked at was when we met to eat at a single table.

Thank you for loving me, thank you for loving us, Kasumi-Arisa.

I listened as the sword cut the wind and it was getting closer and closer, the moment became eternal and in an instant I felt that something cold was entering my neck, slowly that cold object cut my skin and was making its way very slowly, but it only advanced a little when the object stopped and I felt something hot fall on my forehead and trickle down, I slowly opened my eyes to see what was happening.

Ari … sa-Kasumi.

Kasumi was looking at me while tears were pouring out of his eyes, I couldn’t help but release my tears when I saw his look that although it was sad, it was his normal look, not a monotonous look like a doll that he had before.
