Chapter 487
Chapter 487
"What is ...... this enormous amount of magical power⁉"
Elba swung down his battle-axe with all his might, and a dull metallic sound echoed around the area.
"......⁉ What the hell⁉?"
He looked up.
The battle-axe was blocked by a thin barrier of magic and didn't reach me.
"That ...... doesn't work!?"
"Oh no⁉"
The barrier burst and blew him away with the battleaxe.
This is not enough.
To defeat him, it will take a much more powerful and enormous magical power.
That's what overwhelming 'power' is all about.
Capella and Diana were rolling their eyes and shouting something when they saw his huge body being blown away.
[Rid, stop it. Your body can't take much more than this!]
Memory's voice echoed in my mind.
'...... don't care."
"⁉ What the hell are you talking about? Rid!"
I heard a surprised voice at my answer.
If we can't stop him here, Bardia will be finished. But that doesn't mean we can give in to him. If that happens, everyone will be tortured to death. I'm going to die anyway, and I'm going to do my duty with my life. Just as he ...... Cross did!
After fighting Elba, I understood something.
It is Elba who rules the fox people. Not Gareth.
Even if Father and Amon defeat Gareth, unless Elba is defeated, the Foxmen's influence will not stop.
Even Rafa, who has been on one side or the other, will not be swayed by us as long as Elba is there.
Defeating Gareth is not enough.
We have to defeat Elba and he has to be defeated or this war will not end.
[Rid ...... understands. I will help you as much as I can. But if your body really can't take it, I'll pull out.]
"Thank you, Memory."
"You're me, and I'm you. "
When Memory's voice is no longer heard, the flow of magical power overflowing from the depths of the body changes.
The magic is now more immense, more powerful, but the flow is calmer and more manageable.
It is as if the raging sea has become calm and quiet.
"Using all the magic and power I know, Elba, I will defeat you here."
I manipulate my overflowing magical power and combine the magic I have learned from the children of the Beast Tribe, including the magic I have failed to use in the past.
All the attributes mingle together, and as the blackened magic covers me with a sphere, pain and power rush through my entire body.
Eventually, as my body adjusted to the great flow of magical power, the sphere burst open and I was once again standing on the battlefield.
The aches and creaks my body had felt just a few moments ago were gone, and the loss of magic power had improved.
I moved my hands, my feet, and my neck to confirm the sensation.
I asked, "'Master Rid, is it ......?'"
Diana and Capella asked, rolling their eyes.
Behind the two of them are the children of the beastmen tribe, but they are all stunned.
"I'm sorry I worried you guys. It's all right now."
And, but, what do you mean by that ......?"
I shook my head at Capella's question.
"I know. But we can't beat him unless I do this. Everyone pull back so you don't get caught in the middle."
"But, but ......⁉"
"That's an order."
I smile in reply and leap instantly in front of Elba.
He wiggled his eyebrows and looked at me curiously, licking me from top to bottom.
"You've turned out to be quite lovely . Are you going to become my personal servant?"
"I beg your pardon. I don't like to be like this. I just found myself in this body in order to endure the overflowing magic power."
I see. I didn't think you'd be standing in front of me with your body forcibly transformed into a beast"
My height had grown to be about the same as my father's, and my hair had grown long enough to touch the ground.
My clothes are just as big as they were when I was little.
It was true what Ellen and the others had said about the armor and fabric stretching and shrinking by absorbing or releasing the magic power of the wearer.
"But do you understand? The body of a human being cannot withstand "bestiality. In addition, if you force yourself to draw out that much magical power, your life will surely be shaved off with time."
"I am aware of that. But even so, I will defeat you even if it costs me my life."
"Well, that's very brave of you. "
"Only you, I'll never forgive even if you apologize,......."
Elba laughed through his nose and slowly readied his battle axe.
However, I don't feel the same 'composure' that he used to have anymore.
"Today, the sky is cloudless, birds are flying around, and there's a nice breeze. Just like Cross said, it's a really nice day."
I casually look up at the sky and mutter, and he tilts his head.
"...... so on a day like this, only you should fall into the abyss."
I look back at him and spit out, and there is a tremendous earth tremor, and the earth begins to sink beneath his feet and become a great hole.
Elba immediately tried to jump up, but the "tree" was clinging to his legs, blocking his movement.
As usual, you playing a clever little trick. But this is not enough. ......"
"I know. So here is my gift to you."
I dare to put on his words, I instantly generate ten large magic spears of all attributes in the sky.
The ten spears spiral in the sky, mixing together to form a single giant spear, falling toward Elba, who is at the center of the great hole.
"...... Don't get carried away, Rid Bardia. You are mistaken if you think you can defeat me with just one life on the line."
He twisted his body to gather magic and power and swung his battle axe toward the falling giant magic spear.
When the tip of the battle-axe swung by Elba collided with the giant magic spear, a magic wave and shockwave were generated and a storm blew up.
Amidst the groans from the foxmen warriors, everyone behind me, and the knights, Elba's angry shouts roar out from beneath the great pit.
I look over and see that he is gradually pushing back the giant magic spear with his battle-axe.
I could feel the repulsion in my right hand.
"hat's great, Elba. Then, one more spear. I'll add another."
As I raised my left hand to the sky, ten large magic spears of all attributes were generated in the sky, spiraling and mixing together to form a single giant magic spear that dropped down.
Then, it fused with the magic spear that had fallen earlier, and the two magic spears became one even more gigantic magic spear.
Witnessing this phenomenon up close, Elba blinked his eyes.
"What the heck is ......?"⁉
A mad wind is blowing around the big hole, the earth is soaring, and powerful magic power waves and shockwaves are occurring.
But Elba seems to be enduring desperately trying not to be crushed by the battle-axe.
"This ...... is such a thing......⁉ this ......⁉"
"I will say it again,......, fall into the abyss."
I put strength into my hands to push the repulsive force into them.
"......⁉"
The next moment Elba's eyes widened with a start, the magic spear swallowed him, and a huge explosion erupted from the large hole.
A huge pillar of fire rose up, and screams could be heard from both friend and foe alike.
I kept my eyes fixed on the center of the big hole, unable to shake off the presence of the guy behind the pillar of fire.
Eventually, the pillar of fire disappeared and a cloud of smoke rose up, and a shadow jumped up from it and landed in front of me.
'Ha ...... haha ...... you did it. I thought I was going to die from the lightning."
Breathing on his shoulder, Elba's upper body clothing was torn, and his entire body was covered in wounds, with blood coming out from all over the place.
He may have quickly put up a barrier of magic as fast as he could, but even so, he could not escape damage.
"I see. Then, why didn't you just fall down?"
Then, the two spears fused with the one that had fallen earlier, and the two spears became a single, even more gigantic spear.
Witnessing this phenomenon up close, Elba blinked.What the heck is ......?
A mad wind is blowing around the big hole, the earth is soaring, and powerful magic waves and shockwaves are occurring.
But Elba seems to be enduring desperately trying not to be crushed by the battle-axe.
"This ...... is such a thing......⁉ this ......⁉"
I say again,......, fall into the abyss!"
He put strength into his hands as if to push the repulsive force into them.
......⁉"
The next moment Elba's eyes widened with a start, the magic spear swallowed him, and a huge explosion erupted from the large hole.
A huge pillar of fire rose up, and screams could be heard from both friend and foe alike.
I kept my eyes fixed on the center of the big hole, unable to shake off the presence of the guy behind the pillar of fire.
Eventually, the pillar of fire disappeared and a cloud of smoke rose up, and a shadow jumped up from it and landed in front of me.
I thought to myself, "Ha ...... haha ...... you did it. I thought I was going to die from the quicksand you just did."
Breathing on his shoulder, Elba's upper body clothes were torn, and his whole body was covered in wounds, with blood coming out from everywhere.
He may have quickly put up a barrier of magic as fast as he could, but even so, he could not escape damage.
I see. Then, why didn't you just fall down?
" Hmph, you're going down? I'm not joking. I've never been in a battle this exciting."
Elba's mouth twisted in amusement as he stripped off his torn upper garments and plunged his battle-axe into the ground with the tip.
Good. I'll do my best to answer your readiness to risk your life."
He pointed at me and spat, and a powerful shockwave rolled off of him.
Just as Elba's beastification began to change, I heard Capella's voice saying, " Master Rid, now! "
"While he is concentrating on the beastification, unleash your great move!"
'That's right! There is no need to fight him at full strength. If you release the magic spear just now, no matter how much he is defenseless, you should be able to defeat him.
I heard Diana's voice and looked to the side, both of them were looking at me with a desperate look on their faces.
But I shake my head.
No,I want him to know the mistake he has made and fall into the abyss of despair. Otherwise, I won't ...... be able to stop my temper."
"Oh, no. ......⁉"
"There is no need to do such a thing. This battle is not a personal battle between Master Rid and Elba. We just have to defeat him and that should be enough."
"I know that!"
I raised my voice to persuade the two of them.
'Cross had a family waiting for him to return. Tink, Tis, and Claude ...... couldn't keep Cross safe from them because of my inadequacies. No, not only him. When people die, they don't come back to life. We can never talk to each other or see each other again."
I pointed at Elba, who was standing right in front of me.
"
If we defeat him without a moment's thought, he will never realize his guilt. Therefore, I must crush his arrogance and pride and make him regret it. I will remind ...... how much grief, anger, and hatred it causes people to take life without thought."
Master Rid ......."
The two men fell to their knees and sagged in resignation.
I'm sorry, guys. I know this is selfish of me. But I can't stop the anger that's flowing out of me. I can't stop it.
I replied, glaring at Elba again.
So,get on with it and give it your all, Elba. I'm going to beat you on it. And I'll make you regret having pissed me off ...... and having mistreated human life."
"Hmph,...... arrogance. But you won't regret it against me with all your might, Rid Bardia."
Soon after Elba answered him, his whole body was covered with red and black patterns, and he looked disfigured with black flame magic, and the number of his tail increased to nine tails.
"That's the best you can do?"
"Yeah, sorry to keep you waiting. Let's have a final round, shall we?"
Elba pointed elsewhere with his chin.
I nodded, and we both walked around the field.
Elba nodded and we both moved to a spot where the ground was still intact.
He held his battle-axe in one hand.
I have a magic sword at my waist, but I don't pull it out and hold it in my hands.
"Come on, Elba,"you're the challenger, right? You are the challenger, right? Come on, get on with it."
