Chapter 156: Silver and Azure
It happened all of a sudden.contemporary romance
A powerful breaking sound echoed throughout the room. And I, no, everyone at the boss room looked at the sky.
The ceiling shattered, and the sun was cut in half. From that gap, the full moon that had been hidden until now appeared once again.
"–No, that's not it"
It wasn't the full moon. It was a girl with long silver hair that shines so beautifully, causing people to mistake her as the full moon–Claire.
Right after that, the sun, having split into two, exploded as it couldn't keep the magical power contained inside it anymore. As a result, dozens of lumps of flames fall all over the area, with a part of it coming towards us. Looking at that, Claire opened her mouth quietly.
"—–Cursed"
It was a cold yet clear voice that seemed to be able to freeze my bones.
Along with that word, Claire swung the Ice Blade in her hand. The cold air released from the Ice blade that she swung easily devoured those hell flames. Then, while the ice flowers bloomed in the sky1, Claire landed in front of me.
While watching that, my mind was filled with doubts. Why could she be here, even though she is in the middle of intermission? How did she destroy the ceiling of the boss room? I had too many questions I wanted to ask, and I didn't know which to ask first.
Towards me who was harboring such thoughts, Claire carelessly said.
"As expected, it was a bit more fragile than the indestructible exterior of the dungeon."
"….."
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Please leave the rest to me,"
Claire said without looking back at me, then she held her half-body-length sword pointing at Ifrit. And then,
"Absolute Ruler"
Simultaneously as she chanted, a magic circle of Ice was manifested with her in the center. It was a huge magic circle, to the extent it could swallow me and Hana and the others behind me. From that magic circle, a large amount of magic power is poured into our bodies.
"You must be kidding, right…?"
I opened my eyes widely, witnessing my wounds that were about to kill me healing in the blink of an eye. No, not just that. At that instant, let alone HP, even my MP was recovered. What on earth is this….?
"Claire, this is…."
Having finally been able to speak properly, I tried to ask a question, but stopped. No, to be exact, I stopped subconsciously, as she was so beautiful, making me think that such questions didn't matter.
The figure of her who was holding the ice sword in the middle of the blooming ice flowers is just so beautiful. And that back of her, had already rewritten the vague memory of mine about that event2.
"Although you might not be guilty… I can't let you hurt these people anymore,"
Saying that, Claire looks at the monster with her pair of sea-like deep blue eyes. And then–
"That's why, right here and right now, I will exterminate you."
—And then, I came to know the strongest.
- Ice Flowers should be the after-effect of her skill.
- The event that made him want to be an adventurer.
