A blow—

Tirissia Brouard held the Bryunak in one hand and walked across the rain-soaked ground towards Kelg, who lay lying before her.

As the sound of her gradually approaching was heard, Kelg’s body, which had been lying on the ground, began to stir.

“Take… Huh… ”

He barely raised his head and looked at Tirisia. His eyes were filled with fear, and he seemed to be pondering something for a moment.

“Huh… !”

-Crack!

And in the next moment, he gritted his teeth and made a decision.

“Eeee!”

Kelg’s body, roaring with all its might, rose into the air with a release of bloody magic.

Kugugugugugu!

The energy extending from his body weighed heavily on the space,

“You bastards! Give me all your magic power―!”

He turned towards the academy, reached out his hand and shouted at someone.

Surprisingly, the only ones who reacted to this action were all the professors of the Academy who were among the crowd.

“Stop! Aaaah!”

“What the…?! Aaaah!”

As they screamed, clutching their chests, the magical power that had been forcibly extracted from their bodies began to move towards Kelg’s body.

“I’ll swallow it all up! Kaaa!”

Kelg absorbed all their power into his body and let out a roar of rage.

Kwaaah!

A torrent of bloody magic burst out from his body, and a power that was incomparably greater than before descended before Tyrisia’s eyes.

It is one of the visions of the Durakal family.

The last desperate measure of predation and the trump card he kept hidden until the end―

It was ‘The Last Supper’.

This ability is a double-edged sword that temporarily breaks the contract with the prey target, but instead drains all the magical power they currently have, allowing them to temporarily overcome their limits.

Since all predation contracts would disappear once the banquet was over, it was a method that Kelg, who would lose all his power and return to the starting point, wanted to postpone until the very end.

But at this moment, he felt a genuine threat to his life from Tirissia Bruard.

Realizing that he was in a situation where he had no choice, he finally had no choice but to make that disastrous choice.

If he didn’t defeat Tirisia now, it would definitely be him who would die.

“You bastards―! Show your strength―!”

As he forcibly extracted their magical powers with a roar that was too young to live, the professors writhed and screamed in agony.

“Stop it!”

“Ahhh! Save me!”

“Eeeek!”

They were in collusion with the Durakal family from the beginning, obeyed them, and became professors at the academy.

That is why it has been included in Kelg’s prey target for a long time.

“Ugh… !”

The professors, who had all their magical powers stolen by Kelg, fell unconscious on the spot.

Magic is the energy of the mind and spirit.

If it were to be taken away from them, humans would lose one of the three elements that make them up – body, soul, and spirit – and would fall into a coma until they regain their magical powers.

In the process, there was a possibility that the unlucky ones would have their circuits damaged and not be able to wake up at all, or even if they did wake up, they would become crippled and never be able to use magic again.

But that kind of aftermath meant nothing to Kelg.

After all, they were just one of the castaways, and they were the ones who were going to be killed once the revolution was over.

If he could escape this situation by sacrificing such insignificant filth, it would be a good deal for Kelg.

“The same thing happened to you, you whore! ”

Kelg shouted in a murderous tone and spread his palms towards Tirisia.

“… ?”

As the magic power inside her body was suddenly pulled out and absorbed by Kelg, Tyrisia stopped walking and looked down at her chest.

Gooo―!

She too was the target of a predation contract.

Losing the power of Tyrisia, which he had worked so hard to obtain, was the worst thing that could happen, but for Kelg, it was a do-or-die situation.

The power of Tirisia, which has become incomparably stronger than before after going berserk.

If you absorb that power through the banquet, there will be no one who can stop you here, even if it is only temporarily.

“Khahahahaha! Your endless magic power of the past years is now mine!”

Kwaaah!

An overwhelming aura of destruction began to emanate from Kelg, who had absorbed the magic power he had originally possessed, the magic power extracted from the professors, and the power of the outraged Tirisia.

“I’ll make you regret not killing me right away―!”

Because Tirisia’s magical power was so vast, the exploitation due to the banquet did not end in an instant.

Kelg grew stronger by absorbing her power at every moment, and spread his palms over his head to use the magic of creation.

Kiiing!

The bloody magic power extending from his hand transforms into the shape of the greatsword he usually uses.

Kelg, who had grabbed its hilt, let out a roar that echoed throughout the Academy, and brought his sword down on Tyrisia.

“Die―――!”

And the next moment,

――

There was a flash of light, and all sound was erased.

“Ah… ?”

Kelg sensed something odd and looked down at his right arm, which was holding the sword.

However, there was nothing that could be called a right arm.

“―”

His gaze, floating in the air, turns slightly downwards.

Only then did he catch sight of the object he was looking for in his dark, bewildered eyes.

A thick, dark arm, clutching a blood-red magic sword, falls to the ground.

The arm that should have been attached to his body was somehow neatly cut off at the shoulder.

Kelg’s gaze turned back to the girl standing on the ground,

“… ”

He saw.

Tirisia Bruard stands still with her sword swinging.

She simply glared at Kelg with a cold gaze and swung her sword once with murderous intent.

Bam!

Blood spurts out like a fountain from the large carved cross-section,

“으,”

An unimaginable pain is transmitted through the nervous system to the brain,

“AAAHH …

Kelg screamed, clutching his now non-existent right arm.

In an instant, his mind broke and the Last Supper that was draining Tyrisia’s power was stopped.

And the price of that destructive sorcery also came at the same time.

Dismissed!

Tyrisia felt the contract of predation that had been attached to her disappear and whispered a cold word to Kelg.

“I told you I was going to kill you.”

If Kelg wanted to absorb his own rampant magic power, he could just cut him down before it was completely absorbed.

Seeing that the contract of predation had been broken, it seemed that the strange ability he had just shown came at a considerable cost, but to Tirissia, it was actually good news.

Anyway, Kelg will kill you here and now.

“Kuaaah! Ugh! Kuaaaa… !”

Kelg desperately tried to stop the bleeding from where his arm had been cut off, and glared at Tirisia with a look of incomprehension.

Why?

why?

This monster, it can’t be defeated no matter what?

Fear and frustration quickly eat away at his mind.

My heart is pounding like crazy, and I feel like death is chasing me right under my chin.

“Haa… ! Haa… !”

Kelg took a deep breath and considered his options.

Even though he used the dinner he had saved as a trump card, he was unable to inflict any damage on Tirisia and ended up losing her arm.

There is never any hope in fighting.

If so, there is only one thing left.

“Whaaah!”

Phew!

He let out a loud groan, turned away from Tirisia, and flew through the air with all his might.

escape.

That was the only way out for him now.

Beyond the academy, beyond the back mountain where the hideout is,

You must escape the city, cross the border, and flee to the ends of the continent.

Otherwise, that monster will definitely chase after you and bring you death.

“Heeek! Heeek!”

A continuous, involuntary scream flowed from his mouth.

The true fear of death that I encountered for the first time.

He had thought that he had transcended all such petty fears, but the reality was different.

I was scared.

I was so scared.

The death that was thrust before my eyes was much colder and sharper than I had imagined.

The urge to give up everything you have but just to live dominates your whole body.

There’s no need for pride or anything.

No matter how ugly it may be, if I can live,

If I could do that, it would be like gaining all the happiness in the world.

“Heeek!”

The moment Kelgar passed through the crowd, letting out a faint scream―

[Stop.]

Damn!

Every space within the Academy grounds was frozen.

A huge roar from the sky.

It literally stopped everything, catching Kelg as he dashed through the air.

The crowd at the Academy who had been watching the fight also stopped moving without exception.

Neither Lucica, Heidi, nor even Erto could move in the space that Tirisia had grabbed.

A cold warning to just watch what he’s going to do from now on.

In the frozen academy, Tirissia brought Kelg, who was floating in the air, towards her with a simple gesture.

“Heee… Heee… !”

Kelgue, whose entire body was bound by invisible pressure, groaned between heavy breaths.

Tirisia pressed her face close to his, her emerald eyes radiating cold air.

[Where are you going?]

“Eek!”

His eyes, which had always shown a leisurely smile, were filled with extreme fear, and with his mouth barely moving, he poured out words of pleading towards the girl in front of him.

“Sa, think about it… ! Jeba… think about it… !”

[shut up.]

Damn it!

A magic circle appeared around Kelg’s neck, left arm, and both ankles, and his body was spread out in the air as if on display.

“Huhhh… !”

Imagine what would happen to him now, the crotch of the leather pants he was wearing was soaked with something wet.

[Yeah, let’s start with that.]

As Tyrisia waved her finger, Kelg’s body, bound by the magic circle, flipped upside down in the air, and his two legs were spread wide to the sides.

Even the Academy crowd could clearly see her spread legs.

[Because it is the most disgusting and insignificant thing.]

Crap!

As Tyrisia, who had coldly spat out her age, opened her palm towards that place, chunks of ice were born from the air and took the shape of sharp thorns.

“Uh… Uh… ?”

The upside-down Kelg realized where the hundreds and thousands of ice thorns were staring at him as if surrounding him.

“Huh?! Huh!?”

He writhed as if he was having a seizure, the worst thoughts running down his spine.

But the magic circle that bound his neck and limbs did not move at all.

[I will erase you from the world first.]

With a burning hatred in his expressionless face, he slowly clenched the palm that Tirisia had opened.

Then, in response to that movement, thousands of ice thorns surrounding Kelg’s lair began to gather towards the center.

“Eww! Don’t do that! I told you not to do that―!”

Kelg desperately pleaded with tears streaming down his face,

[Slowly… Let yourself feel all the pain.]

Tirisia didn’t stop her grip.

Bam-

The tip of the gathered ice touched Kelg’s leg,

“Whaaah! No! Nooo!”

Phew-

The thorns pushed further inside, piercing through his leather pants.

“Ugh… Huh…?!”

Knock knock, knock knock,

There was a loud snapping sound, and blood poured out from between the ice that had gathered into one point.

“Kaaah!”

Kelg, his eyes wide open, screamed so loudly that his throat was torn and he was spitting out blood.

The fist that Tirisia had been clenching slowly finally closed completely―

Ugh-

The ice, which had formed into a fist-sized ball, crushed all the flesh between them into nothingness.

“Gaaah! Aaaah! Kwaaah!”

Boom! Boom!

The blood flowing down backwards soaks Kelg’s face.

He, whose place should have been filled with blood was replaced by a block of ice, let out endless screams, shedding tears and snot.

Not only the extremities, but also the surrounding flesh disappeared from this world as if it had been eaten by a beast.

and,

Boom!

“Huh?!”

Tyrisia’s fist flew in and shattered the ice block that had formed in Kelg’s crotch.
