CH 54.2

On his wrinkled index finger, he was wearing a crystal ring. However, unlike ordinary gems, a green flames flicker inside the colorless, transparent crystals.

It was a Relic. It was the trump card chosen by Noto Cochlear who doesn’t possess any other weapons except his magical power which he has absolute confidence in.

It is a Relic which allows you to stock one magic and release it at will in exchange of putting a great burden on you.

The magic stock inside is an original magic created by Noto. It is the trump card of a high-class Mage which sent his disciple who has a high magic resistant to Hades.

『Aaron Mist | Silent Death』.

The magic that was once store is release and the crystal ring return colorless and transparent. There wasn’t any flashing light or sound. Sytry with her eyes wide open, waver greatly. She falls on the floor toppling over the table.

The mist of poison which is magically synthesized is not flashy, but it sneaks up to you with no sound or color and reaps your life in a single breath. It is an interpersonal trump card. It doesn’t let you have the chance to use detoxification magic or medicine.

The remaining pain fade away. I don’t know what drug was used but it wasn’t an everlasting effect.

But more than that, now, I have to find a place to hide. Sytry said she hadn’t told anyone, but there was no proof that is was true.

I wipe my mouth with my sleeves and speak to Sofia who is lying down.

Mysteriously, the anger I had up until now has subsided. With a look of pity, I speak to the girl.

“You idiot… Sofia. You could have accomplished so mush inside Akasha…”

“This is… Impossible. Because… We are… 『Friends』.”

“Wha!?”

…Why are you alive!?

With the exit right behind Noto, Sytry who should have been dead put her hand on the floor and moving like an undead she stands up.

When she stands up on her two legs while swaying, she coughs a few times and look at Noto.

Her eyes are looking at Noto through the gap between her pink blond hair. Her voice is shaking but the emotion contained inside were the same as before.

“As expected… Poison Magic… Hahaa… I had strengthened, my immune system but as it has been a long time… It has worked on me a little bit.”

“It isn’t… possible. You shouldn’t be able to move…”

“Before, I have been ripped of my consciousness in a Shrine once… I reflected on it and poisoned everyone little by little to make everyone resistant…”

Until now Noto has used this magic countless time and it has definitively slaughtered all his enemy. It may not be effective, but it is impossible to get up in such a short amount of times.

Sytry greatly shakes her head and hit her pale cheek *slap slap*. Then face Noto and laugh at him.

“Is this the end, Teacher? Will you surrender? I will present your Relic as a gift to Cry-san. As I could only catch you… It would be a shame if I don’t bring anything home.”

“Kuh… Damnit…”

“Ah…”

Noto who suddenly start running, she raises a small voice.

That behavior shouldn’t be one aimed at her enemy. That innocent smile she is showing is similar to Infinite Variety one. I am not blind. 『Aaron Mist | Silent Death』wasn’t ineffective. Sytry’s feet wobbling like a drunk proves it.

Right now… I need to run. Run and wait for the drug to stop working.

There is still a hideout. There is hideout that no one except Noto knows, I can restart if I join the other members of the 『Tower of Akasha』.

If I am caught here… Sytry will, without doubt, 『Clean Up』 in the most Mage-like way.

It is possible… In a way, where 『Death』 is more kind.

“I took my time, talk to you about the situation and tried to convince you with all my honesty… Now this is the last request. I don’t like to resolve problem with my fist like my 『Onee-chan』. I am not… 『Deep Black | The Worst of the Worst』anymore!”

I receive a ridiculous persuasion from behind me. I only have to think about running away. No… I don’t have to run away. I can get caught by the Empire. It is one hundred times better than being caught by Sytry.

I turn on the doorknob and open the door. Outside. It will be the worst if she is noticed. That woman doesn’t want to be discover. I scold my legs when they almost get tangled and tried to run upstairs to the ground when at that time…

Something cold came down from my head. Is it raining? When such a question crosses my head, I couldn’t move as if my power was sucked up.

Why am I here? I don’t know what I am doing.

Shouldn’t I run away. The commands issued by my brain does not reach my body as if they were interrupted halfway.

I waver as if my consciousness was melting.

The last thing Noto heard was a blurry scream as if there was a thick filter distorting the sound.

Thanks for reading this! So, Noto had the same type of Relic as Cry but he still thought that it was Cry who use the gravitational magic XD And what could have caught Noto? Was It Sytry’s trap? Or was it something else? Let’s see maybe it is something viscous, liquid shape, that someone drop it by accident when he was going in a Shrine? XD chapter is the conclusion of this arc! Tchao à plus !
