Ex Strongest Swordsman Longs For Magic In Different World Chapter 108 (Self Edited) – Going against the Fragment of Evil God

Chapter 108 (Self Edited) – Going against the Fragment of Evil God

It wasn’t confirmed why Kurt wanted it or it might be the nature of the Evil God power, but it seemed the power manifested the darkness of jet black.
The appearance that floated in the air overflow with such darkness looked like a monster that had ceased its human figure. The most notable was the left shoulder which was cut off. There was something that could be called a tentacle of darkness, hanging down from the left shoulder, as if the darkness of the jet black complemented the lost part.
Moreover, let alone of that appearance, the darkness that floated around covered Kurt’s body, and he gradually starting to take the same form. While squinting eyes at it, Soma laid down the girl in the arm on the ground and let out a sigh.
“Hmm… how should I say this? It seems that Kurt-senpai has no sense of art…” (Soma)
“Kuhahaha! Is that what you say after seeing this…! There are many things you should say… or, are you pretending to be tough? Well, it can’t be helped then…!” (Kurt)
Certainly, it was something that he didn’t want to look too much, but he wasn’t pretending, but…
Should he just follow along? Or maybe saying that Kurt was drunk on power? Anyhow, Soma didn’t intend to talk much with him.
“Haa… this is…! Is this the power of the Evil God!? With this power, I can…!” (Kurt)
“Hmm… let me confirm one thing. Kurt-senpai, your purpose to come here is to get that, am I correct?” (Soma)
“Haa? Of course…! Well, to be honest, I didn’t think it would go well. I was wondering what to do with the area boss, but… you were the one who defeated that, right? You’ve been very helpful, you know.” (Kurt)
The area bosses were really strong. Unlike other monsters, it was said that the bosses wouldn’t come out for about one month after they were defeated. It seemed that Kurt had come this far because of Soma.
Kurt didn’t intend to hide it. Rather–…
“Besides, you probably don’t know this… Actually, the area bosses below 50th later also acted as a key to seal this power. You were nicely releasing it. That was really a big help…!” (Kurt)
“Hmm? No, I know about that.” (Soma)
“…Haa?” (Kurt)
“Strictly speaking, I was told that on the way here, but from that point onward, I didn’t change anything from what I’d been doing, so there wasn’t a big difference.” (Soma)
“What!? I suppose you are going to break the seal, is it…!?” (Kurt)
That was how it was. It meant that Soma had walked every layer and went to every corner in order to fill the map because he was thinking about the possibility of other seals.
However, Soma was recently informed about it and that was when he headed to the 90th layer.
“But, the problem starts beyond that…” (Soma)
He knew that the seal couldn’t be completely released when all area bosses were defeated. Before that happened, there was a seal imposed by the royalty.
Of course, the current royalty was the one who put it. In short, this was done ten years ago. At that time, the seal here was about to unravel.
However, it was only an emergency measure, and the monsters on the way here were totally ignored.
Therefore, the royalty knew that the limit of the seal applied at that time wouldn’t last long.
Because of that, they contacted Hildegard. When they investigated the possibility, she said that she would do whatever she could to help. It would be a lie if she wasn’t worried about the influence to the surroundings in regards to the frequency of mutated monster appearances, but that would come later.
The reason why the seal reached its very limit was because she couldn’t reach there for a while. Well, it seemed that she felt obliged to do so.
Anyhow…
“There was a plan to reseal it for a while, but after all, same thing will happen again. So, we came to the conclusion that we should do something about it, but… what was sealed was a vague thing like a fragment of power.” (Hildegard)
“The quickest way to get it done is to put it in someone’s body. By doing so, dealing with it much easier. That’s why the phrase ‘You’ve been very helpful’ is actually our line.” (Soma)
Because of that reason, Soma was being honest to a fault. If he had to do something about Kurt, he could just severe the neck the moment he recognized that appearance. But he didn’t do it because he was waiting for this moment.
“By the way, I’m sorry about that, Sylvia.” (Soma)
“Hmm… I also apologize for it. While having the position of the headmaster of the academy, I didn’t plan to use my student.” (Hildegard)
“Aah, n-no…? I mean, I don’t really understand…” (Sylvia)
“Well, for the time being, just accept our apologies. Just so you know, it was Hildegard who thought about this plan.” (Soma)
“No, it’s true that I said it would be easier if there was a scapegoat, but it wasn’t to this extent! Stop making me the main culprit!” (Hildegard)
“I’ve been assisting you this whole time, right? No matter how I think about it, you are the main culprit. So, stop trying to impose the blame on me in the midst of the confusion.” (Soma)
As they were trying to push the blame to each other, a sudden laughter was heard. But the laughter wasn’t probably because of the exchange was interesting.
“Kuhahaha! …Haa. I see. It is true that I was used by you guys. After all, I’m not suited for using my head.” (Kurt)
Kurt, who laughed while saying that, felt somewhat refreshed.
However, it was only for a moment. The face instantly became angry, and the drifting jet black darkness was swelling all at once.
“But you guys made a mistake…! And that is looking down on me taking in the fragment of the Evil God power!” (Kurt)
“…!?” (Sylvia)
Sylvia’s face instantly grew pale. She probably understood what it was like.
“Hmm… the God called the Evil God was in charge of death and destruction, yes?” (Soma)
“It was supposed to be like that. But, it would be impossible to use that power as a result of a fragment of its power, but… it can be used if it is up to the extent of Concept Rank.” (Hildegard)
“I’ve been think for a while… why are you both look easygoing? I can’t stop the trembling of my body since a while ago…” (Sylvia)
“Hmm? Well, it’s only a fragment of its whole power. If it is only that much, there’s no need to worry about it.” (Soma)
“The one that can say such a thing is no one else but you… well, since you say it that way, I guess I also can do the same.” (Hildegard)
Hildegard shrug her shoulders as she said that. Immediately after, a roar sounded. It was a sound of a strong impact that was struck on something. When they looked at the source, it was Kurt who swung his fist on the ground.
“You…!” (Kurt)
His feeling was transmitted through the eyes directed toward them. In other words, it was almost impossible to joke at this moment. However, while understand that fact, Soma also shrugged his shoulders. He looked at Hildegard, and she gave him a small nod.
Perhaps, this was the limit.
Truthfully, Soma didn’t care at all about Kurt, but he wasn’t being careless. Although it was a remnant, it was undoubtedly the power of a God that dwelled in that body. Moreover, it was a God who governed death and destruction. Thus, there was no way he could be caught off guard.
However, all of the acts were merely provocation. Basically, it was impossible for a mere human to use God’s power, but it could happen by any chance.
Even so, Soma had many ways to deal with him, but Sylvia and Maria would definitely die if they got rolled up. Hildegard might be able to survive, but that was the best he could do. There was no way he could protect all of them. After all, their position remain the same. Kurt must be prevented at all costs.
However, even with all that, Soma was composed when facing his opponent. Kurt would be either being arrogant with power or dyed in anger. Then, he lightly swing the sword he held in the right hand.
“Surely, this will not take long time. Shall we end this soon?” (Soma)
“You… I will make sure you regret for looking down on me…!” (Kurt)
Soma didn’t have that thought to begin with. As he stepped forward, he looked at Sylvia and others as if telling them to step back. Just as it was, he leaped and rushed toward the enemy.
