Chapter 113: The arrogant “King” and the angry “God”
“GYAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
Subnock, burning with rage and murderous intent, lunged forward.
Rest avoided the corrosive saliva, akin to a water laser, and floated up into the air.
“[Concealment], [Levitation], [Wind Control], [Sky Drive]!”
Rest cast a quartet of spells, using illusion magic to conceal his presence and kick off into flight.
(If I just approach and attack like this… Nah, it won’t let me.)
“GYAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
Having lost sight of Rest, Sabnock rampaged around, attacking indiscriminately. Presumably, it had realized Rest had concealed himself with magic. If Rest carelessly approached, he might be hit by a lucky strike.
(In that case… this seems like the only way.)
“[Wind Control]!”
Rest leaped over Sabnock’s head, soaring high into the sky.
He ascended rapidly, the air pressure dropping and making it hard to breathe. The temperature plummeted, and a chilling cold set in.
After about one hundred and eighty seconds, he reached a height of about four thousand meters above sea level. While much lower than the altitude of passenger planes, it was high enough to overlook Mount Fuji.
The wind was stronger than on the ground. Despite looking down, human figures were barely visible, but somehow, Sabnock’s massive body could be discerned.
“…This should be good enough.”
Rest hovered in midair, coming to a halt.
Below, Sabnock searched for Rest, thrashing around, but from this position, it was impossible for any attacks to reach.
Looking down at Sabnock, Rest verbally confirmed what he was about to do.
“…Sabnock has tough fur, and even advanced magic or composite spells won’t do significant damage. [Star Eater] can shave off its body, but this magic has short range. During the use of [Star Eater], other spells cannot be used, and body strengthening is also impossible. It’s impossible for me to approach the rampaging beast and strike its weak points precisely.”
In that case, what should he do?
One conclusion: Attack with equal or greater power than [Star Eater] from a distance.
Unfortunately, none of the magic Rest had mastered could accomplish that.
Though Rest had infinite mana, his magic output, meaning his power, was only average.
“[Star Eater].”
Rest cast his most powerful spell.
It was indeed this spell that produced a dark star.
A black sphere formed at the tip of Rest’s right hand, and the spell he had been using for flight was forcibly deactivated, causing him to fall like skydiving without a parachute.
“It’s unexpectedly tough…”
No magic. No special equipment. Free-falling from four thousand meters.
The fear and cold were overwhelming, but Rest couldn’t afford to complain.
Rest poured mana into the dark star, determined to carry out what he needed to do calmly.
“Suck in the light… Dark Star, which devours everything!”
At that moment, the entire plain grew dark.
The sunlight was shadowed, as if a total solar eclipse had occurred.
Surely both humans and monsters were confused by the abnormal situation, but it was Rest who had caused it.
Rest commanded the Dark Star to absorb the sunlight in the surrounding area.
[Star Eater] was originally created with the image of a black hole.
Therefore, it was naturally possible for this magic to devour light just like it captured and didn’t let go of it.
“Anything absorbed by the Dark Star is inevitably annihilated, but this time, I won’t erase it. I’ll stop the absorbed light just before it disappears and gather it.”
The ground was rapidly approaching.
Three thousand meters, two thousand five hundred meters, two thousand meters, one thousand five hundred meters…
As he neared the ground, Sabnock, who had looked like a speck, became increasingly clear and large.
“GYAOOOOO…?”
Sabnock, who had been rampaging in search of Rest, suddenly looked suspiciously at the darkness that had fallen, and looked up at the sky.
Though most of the sunlight had disappeared from the sky, shrouded in darkness, it seemed that Sabnock’s night vision was effective.
From a distance of over a thousand meters, the gazes of Rest and Sabnock met.
“GYAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
“It seems you found me… but it’s too late.”
In Rest’s hand was already a sphere filled with more than enough light energy.
Falling from four thousand meters to one thousand meters at a speed of two hundred kilometers per hour would take about one minute.
It was only a minute, but Rest had gathered in the palm of his hand most of the light that was supposed to pour down onto the vast plain.
Honestly, Rest didn’t quite understand how much energy this was.
“It’s an improvised applied magic, but… can you withstand this?”
If this didn’t work on Sabnock, there would be no other option.
Rest would either die or have to flee on his hands and knees.
(Since I’ve come this far, let’s give a name to this magic as well…)
“[Amaterasu]”
Rest directed the light trapped in the dark star with directionality and released it.
A dazzling arrow of light was aimed at the earth… targeted towards the giant beast there.
An aurora from the darkness. A strike condensed with the power of the solar deity, like the sun goddess emerging from the rock cave, it was unleashed.
“GYAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
Subknock shot a water gun of saliva at the rest that was falling from above.
However, that act was akin to spitting at the heavens. It couldn’t withstand the divine punishment from the solar deity.
“GYA…!”
The saliva shot was evaporated in an instant, and Sabnock’s body was engulfed in light.
Piercing straight through the center of its torso, it evaporated without any mercy.
The king of the plain. The lord of the monster territory.
The monster who boasted itself as a ‘king’ was pierced through by the divine hammer dropped from the heavens.
