The Boy Who Swore Revenge On The World - Chapter 53

Shadow

What a sorry sight, Cancer. To be caught that easily.

Shut up. Give me a minute!

The two of them who talk to each other before my eyes. Im glad Ive made various preparations after the time I heard about Tierras occupation and saved her.

I was able to predict that like with my time, on the occasion that Tierra who possesses the occupationSpirit Sorcererthats thought to be G.o.ds power was found, the priest would surely report it.

I had thought that somebody will come and catch her as a result of that but, I would never have thought that those who are at the top even in the Holy Kingdom would come. Apparently, thats how afraid the G.o.ddess is of G.o.ds power.

Indeed, Tierras occupation is outrageous. Although it has only been a few days since I saved her, she has contracted with a fire spirit called Salamander and possesses the abilities above an ordinary magician in the span of that few days.

Its an outrageously good find from my point of view but, I guess its nothing but a threat from the G.o.ddess point of view. Hence, shes trying to get rid of the root of the problem before that fellow obtains power. As the G.o.ddess enemy.

Well, I am lucky in various ways this time though

Aaa! Im finally got free! You, arent you too taking it too easy with me as your opponent?

The guy who breaks my shadow bind and glares at meaa, how irritating. If you look at me with such eyes, wont I want to quickly kill you.

Fuu, lets take a deep breath. It wont be interesting if I kill him that simply. But, I wonder how I should kill him. Im at a loss because there is stabbing to death, strangling to death, poisoning to death, crus.h.i.+ng to death, slas.h.i.+ng to death, and other various ways as well.

Haaa!

Oops!

As Im thinking by myself in that manner, the guy who is different from the young guy struck at me. He closes in on me at a considerable speed but I didnt move. No, I didnt need to move.

Its because my sword, Liscia, blocked the guys fist for me. Nevertheless, she sure looks happy. She disliked paperwork that much huh. However, I only had her go around to have talks instead of sitting on the desk though.

Kuhahahaha! The true strength of the Twelve Holy Devas after several hundred years, Ill have you show it to me, brat! Just dont disappoint me!

You call ME1, brat? Dont think you can die easily, female knight!

The two of them quarrel like that as they steadily leave. Already, only the sounds of combat and Liscias loud laughter that was echoing underground could be heard.

I shall have Liscia do work that suits her better from the next time onwards. Un un. Im looking towards the direction where both Liscia and the guy had disappeared into when

Some nerve, you. To ignore ME! I will make you regret it!

The guy who forcibly broke my sorcery, if Im not wrong, Cancer, was it. That fellow came towards me. While Im looking at that fellow and thinking, How energetic huh, I lightly tap my right foot on the ground.

Thereupon, my shadow moves limply and changes shape. It was flat when I was pointing at the shadow on the ground but, it changed into three dimensional and what appeared was a featureless black human-shaped shadow.

Keep him company,Devils ShadowDoppelganger

The shadow that nods to my words. This is a monster called Devils ShadowDoppelgangerthat was created by my sorcery. Its something like another me that I created with my magic power and blood, its able to freely change its shape.

I created it beforehand as a bodyguard in the case of a worst-case scenario when Liscia is away from me. Its strength is certified by Liscia. To see how far this fellow can fight is also an objective this time around.

The shadow that faces Cancer on my words. Cancer gives a slightly surprised look but, he immediately pulls himself together and attacks me. Id seen it just now as well but, slas.h.i.+ng attack that is released each time he swings his arm, numerous slas.h.i.+ng attacks that are released at his surroundings, there are various kinds of it but, it might be ill-suited for the shadow huh.

Cancer scorns as he releases slas.h.i.+ng attacks at the shadow that charges straight at him. He takes a look at the shadow that was easily beheaded, and hes already looking at me but, the shadow doesnt stop walking and closes in on Cancer.

Tsk, whats with this fellow!

Cancer shows confusion at the shadow that walks even though it has no head. The shadow sharpens its hand sharp like a spear before anyone knows and stabs at Cancer.

Cancer uses both hands to avert the shadows hand. I suppose the reason that there is a clanging noise each time he touches the shadows hand is that the sharply sharpened arm is lightly repealing the slas.h.i.+ng attacks.

Cancer who releases slas.h.i.+ng attacks even while hes dodging the shadows stabs. Not just his arms, he also releases it from his legs and tears the shadow to pieces but, it immediately goes back to how it was. Un, hes said to be one of the twelve strongest people of the Holy Kingdom so I was wondering what kind of person it is but, I guess its a let-down? I thought hed be slightly more capable though.

Annoying! Haa!

I place such feelings of mine aside, Cancer uses the technique that mangles the surroundings and turns the shadow into small pieces. If its under normal circ.u.mstances then its core would be destroyed and it would die like the Opus Killers but, this Devils ShadowDoppelgangers core isnt on the surface. Because its hidden at a certain place, it wont die from ordinary means. If one doesnt realise this, they will just simply be using up their strength and so forth.

The shadow that returns to how it was from small pieces. Cancers face stiffens at the mysterious shadow as he mangles it even more. He sees an opening and tries to head towards me but, because the shadow skilfully gets in between us, he cant come over here.

I thought for a little that he might have realised it but, from the looks of it, he didnt realise it. I thought about it just now as well but, it might have been my overestimation.

Haa, even if its a let-down, its making me laugh if it comes this far.The Sun Of ErosionEclipse Sol

I point my right index finger towards Cancer and activate sorcery. A small, round, and black sphere appears at my fingertip. I release it, towards Cancer andthe back of the shadow that confronts him.

The sphere thats released at a considerable speed pierces the shadow, and it also easily pierces Cancer. Perhaps its because he couldnt see it due to the shadow, he made a surprised look while he was pierced. I miss the vitals so that he wont die. Since it wont be interesting if he dies that easily.

Gaahaa sh, it, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Ill kill you! Sacred ScarStigma Activate!

When Cancer who glared angrily at me tore off the clothes on his right shoulder, something like a scar appeared over there. And then, Cancer mutters something and, that scar starts to radiate and his magic power begins to amplify.

The magic power wells up as though its a different person from the Cancer from before. The magic power that is to the extent that its visible, coils around Cancer.

CarcinusZodiacI wont let you live now that youve seen this, brat

What are you on about at this point in timeyou will be the one to die

It seems, I can still have some fun huh. I suppose its about time for me to fight as well.

Originally, it’s : Kono ore. It means ‘this me’ if translated word for word. It’s something along the lines of someone like me. So, I instead use capital letters to put emphasis on the ‘me’.
