Episode 207: Readiness to Defeat

!?

I looked up and opened my eyes. I just chanted [The Giant Palm of Divine Punishment], but there is no sign that it will ever be activated. Are you saying the activation failed? Is that the effect of the spell he just chanted...!?

I'm sorry to hear that. All spells in the possession of those who have received the [Heavy Tax of Despair] will have a consumption MP of 4000. "

"What...!?"

My MP is 2,000 with [weak world] potency. Now it's natural to fail to activate the spell. I didn't know you still had such spells hidden over this period...!!

"It's ridiculous that a self-activated spell should be avenged. This has made it impossible for you to chant every spell."

……!!

I bite my remorse. The [giant palm of divine punishment], which I tried to activate earlier, is a spell that cuts off the subject's HP only by the number of MPs consumed. Both my MP and his HP are 2,000. If I had succeeded in this activation, I could have spent all of my MP to get his HP to zero. The paper difference stopped him from doing that.

'Excuse me, Mr. Ute. If I'd known sooner...'

"... it's not about you apologizing. This is the rest of the downfall."

Hopefully, if he had chanted [The Giant Palm of Divine Punishment] the moment [The Weak World] was activated, he would have been able to zero his HP without giving the phantom beast the time to use [Heavy Tax of Despair]. I have to wish I had that idea in advance.

"I praise you for letting me use your hands. But apparently, that's it."

…………

I can see the force coming out of my whole body. Doing this far won't get to him...!?

For the first time at this time, two letters of "defeat" passed in my brain. Whereas he can use spells for whatever reason, this one can't use any spells. This will not be a battle.

Lose, or...? I, the king, am the monster...?

"... it's Raphae. One last thing I want to ask you."

I was speaking to Raphael's inner soul.

"If the rest dies, at the same time your soul, present in the rest, will be extinguished. Still okay with that?

After a short while, Raphael answered.

"Yes. I'm more prepared than I was."

"... I'm sorry. I got you involved."

'Don't apologize. Besides, we haven't decided on a fight yet.'

"... oh"

Yeah, I decided I wouldn't give up until the end of the day.

I hold my fist and run for the phantom beast. [M] There were only fists left to do more damage to him than the spell was no longer available.

"Bad old days. Spell [Hellfire]!

An awesome flame erupts from directly below. I rolled down on the ground and dodged. [M]

"Spell [Heavenly Lightning Strike]!

The Phantom Beast unleashes a thunder of pursuit without letting in her hair. This is inevitable.

"Spells...... [Stratification Wall Defense]......!

That's when I heard a voice chanting a spell behind my back. And the earth shall rise up, and a barrier of earth shall be formed to protect me. Is this spell Kiel...!?

"Gu...!!"

A thunderbolt burst into the wall, and the shock wave blew me backwards.

King HP 278/2000

Thanks to the wall, I was spared a direct hit, but my HP was shredded to under 300.

"Sorry... that's all I can do right now..."

Kiel shrugged weakly as he fell to the ground. Apparently, my consciousness is back, and you protected me while I was full of creativity.

"Screw you, but do something extra. But it only prolonged the pain."

I eat my teeth and get up. [M]

Do you still want to fight? Come on, I'm gonna grow up. Spell [Heavenly Heavy Pressure]!

"Gu...!!"

Twenty times the normal gravity hung all over my body, and I fell on my knees. I have no way to escape this spell. [M]

"This is the end of the real deal. Spell [Heavenly Lightning Strike]!

A phantom beast fired a thunderbolt at me, completely sealed in motion.

At that moment, the days spent in this world come back to life behind my brain. Having played with Henri and the others in various games at King's Castle, going to the sea with Sasha and the others, dating Serena -

I laugh unintentionally. I see, is this the one that runs the horse lamp?

I'm going to do what I can. But in the end, I couldn't save this world. Thoughtless, this is the last thing I can do. Forgive me, everyone...

"Yut, don't give up!!"

That's when I heard someone. Is this voice... Serena? Has it finally been heard to the hallucinations?

"What's up, Ute? How much power do you have?

Go on. I hear another voice. This petty tone is definitely Sasha.

"Hey Yut, hold on tight!

"We'll help you specially."

'Brother, we're on!

I can hear Asta, Sue and Lina. No, this is not an audition or anything. Unquestionably everyone's voice.

……

It comes through. Everyone is trying to bring me something along with their thoughts. No way, this is...!!

Shortly afterwards, the [heavenly thunderbolt] of the phantom beast burst into the earth and a smoke erupted.

"... what!?"

The phantom beast speaks up. Probably because there was no sign of me at the point where the thunder struck directly. It must be unexpected for the phantom beast that I thought I couldn't move completely.

"Where did it disappear...!?"

"Here."

At the end of the gaze the phantom beast looked up, I was there. Just before the thunderbolt of the phantom beast burst into the earth, I was dodging in the air. Naturally, I took zero damage. [M]

"Stupid...!!"

No wonder the phantom beast is surprised. Because there's no way I can float in the air without wings.

Then why did you have such a craftsmanship for me? That 's--
