Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

"Come on!"

The Great Sage, who kept releasing fire magic because Catalina, approaching about five more steps away, had lifted her hand and tried to touch herself, tried to stay back.

In doing so, he will be taken by strange sensations.

to......

"Nah... what...?!

And the Great Sage realized. A black object with no taste stretches from under Catalina's feet…. And to be tangling my own legs.

"Damn!!

The Great Sage perceives that Catalina is stuck just three more steps away. I can't go behind or beside...... Furthermore, travel to out-of-phase space seems to have caused some problems when attacked by waltz and cannot be used as an option...... Behind the brains of the Great Sage, the letter defeat, or death, seemed to have surfaced.... with the question of whether the demon (...) tribe (...) in front of you is stronger than yourself who became God.

In the meantime, he decides to go into a certain action.

Catalina touches herself in two more steps, and so on ——

Bun......

--He once again manifested the girl Maria out of the item box.

It seemed to have had enough effect on Catalina.

"Huh!"

I don't know what Catalina was going to do with that hand to the Great Sage, but she could pull her hand in even though she said if she reached out she could reach the girl Maria.

The Great Sage did not overlook such a gap in her moment.

"You fool!

He was grabbing the girl Maria, in the opposite hand of his arm, and when he took the snoring-shaped sword out of the void, he took it to Catalina's chest ——

Zang!!

—— and stuck it out. No, I didn't stab you to be exact, I tried to stick it out, should I describe it?

It was the surface of Catalina's clothes, making high noises and vibrating with Kivin. It's the sound of that sword - the sealed demon's sword - trying to destroy the Catalina junction... And at the same time, it was also the sound produced by Catalina's junction to perform self-repair. In short, the sword of the sealed demon never crossed the line of Catalina. It should be noted that this sword, in the distant future, will become the national treasure of the Boleas Empire "sword of God's slaughter"... I shall leave that story for now.

And as a result ——

"... apoptosis"

—— Catalina's hand is finally to reach the Great Sage.

When she touches the Great Sage, that part of her skin, muscles, bones, etc. collapses like sand...... That's a blade in the shape of a hand. Though it only works against organisms, it may be arguably the most powerful sword ever.

"Ugghhhhhh?!

"... will you return Maria"

Catalina reaches out to the girl Maria this time from the great sage who raises her severance demon. However, not with the right hand covered in blood, but with the unspoilt left hand......

And she finally succeeded in regaining Maria, the girl for her sister, and being able to hold her. At that time, I wonder if the expression she gave me would even dare not express it.

But right after--

Saku......

—— An unexpected pain runs into Catalina's chest.

"Kaha!... Ma... Maria... Chan...?

What was dripping from her chest was bright red blood. Its source is stabbed with a sealed demon sword... And I had it in my hands because ——

…………

--It was Maria with a vain expression.

And Catalina kneeling on the ground. At the same time, the Great Sage, who should have suffered before, speaks up with joy.

"Ha-ha-ha! Stupid! I already have him! There's no such thing as manipulation!

The great sage who spoke so did not remain in pain, and all that or his body, at some point, was back to normal. Perhaps the healing was carried out by a nanomachine.

Then he, from Catalina, who was squatting with his hands on his chest, snatched the girl Maria back --

Dogowo!!

—— Fire magic of great firepower was unleashed from zero distance against Catalina.

Seeing how it went, everyone was desperate. Everyone could not imagine a bright future for what would happen to the town if Catalina lost. Will the Great Sage ravage us as we are, or will humans come, even if we are lucky, and we will be enslaved... Such a bad feeling seemed to swirl behind everyone's brain.

... Especially if that was the case, the Boleas Empire of the future could not exist.

Zang!!

At the same time you hear that noise ——

"" Ha?! A demon god?!

—— The great sage who raises his voice to unnaturally suffer.

His body, like that, is in two straight from the middle... I cut him off because ——

"... I won't forgive you..."

—— It was a waltz hidden from the goddess until now.
