Chapter 208: Counterattack (4)

Not the arrogant attitude he was showing until now, harboring killing intent like burning flames in the pupils he glares at Mouse.

"If saving my subordinate I would have treasured, but."

"...Did not want to be eyed by Koito, so at that time Mouse-san had no that choice."

Immediately withdrew and started searching the next shelter.

Mouse directed her gaze to Niekawa once and looked down as if guilty.

"Probably, I do not think the cowardly you invading that kind of risk. Therefore you cannot be trusted."

At those words Niekawa ends up nodding ’yes’ even though an antagonizing other party.

Because fearing risk and taking distance unable to have a hand stretched from anyone. Until now she was that kind of existence.

"’Lightning spear, pierce to the end.’ ...Changed my mind, first you die."

A lightning spear is produced.

A cage of lightning spears that appeared as if surrounding Mouse above. That produced by Alter’s will of not let escape, must kill looked large-scale compared to the magic he was using until just now.

Power and consumption excess for using against one person. To a degree even Niekawa sparse about magical power can feel.

"No, not let die...!"

But the means to break that cage was in Niekawa’s hand.

Colvaz’s flames burn everything away. Therefore even making a cage like now Niekawa can immediately destroy.

Faster than the lightning spear pierces Mouse he burns away a part of the cage with Colvaz’s flames. The gap of lightning that burns and chars chiri-chiri and vanishes Mouse hurriedly passed through.

"Sorry... helped."

"...About half agreeing with that guy. Honestly cannot think you favorably. But no intention of letting a human who resolved to change die as is."

While saying he glares straight at Alter.

The next action comes immediately. He was thinking so, but what Alter put on was irritation of missing the finish.

(Seriously intending to finish?)

Strange. The current development anyone can read.

Colvaz’s flames have already been used many times. Light and darkness, even phenomena that originally should not burn the evil-god demonic sword that burns to ashes, that is Colvaz.

Naturally Alter understood that, and because understanding is wary of the only-human Niekawa.

And yet released a certain kill that collapses with one swing of Colvaz toward Mouse. What is that reason?

"Aa. I see."

Thinking a little he is convinced.

He does not know in detail about the relation of Alter Native and Meldiana.

Rather Niekawa did not even have the information that Meldiana betrayed Sacred. At the time of the April school raid the girl who slightly exposed her figure. Only that degree of information.

But even so. There are things he understands.

"Alter Native. You now ’not even noticing you yourself are grieving’."

Because too used to behaving grandly.

And because too little experience of meeting the other party he thinks precious from the heart.

The youth named Alter Native is not able to control the sadness of losing a precious someone.

Without shedding tears, unable to make a compromise in the heart, is unable to handle the emotion enlarging inside himself.

"Precisely because of that the action is rough. Not taking hard means because obtained power, your head is not turning at anger and sadness and incompetence. To a degree of not noticing yourself lashing out as emotion."

Therefore ends up making a miss like just now.

If the calm him he would have moved more carefully.

The original talk, even if there was need to defeat Livy early, he should have avoided the situation of frontal match with Sacred as much as possible.

But he is here now.

Coming straight here, trying to directly kill Livy, antagonizing Knight and them. As a result this situation. Not only not able to kill Livy, ended up fighting multiple Sacred. Originally he had to avoid that kind of situation!

"Don’t make laugh, human. An fool with no brain except relying on a weapon, intending saw through my heart?"

Toward Niekawa’s words Alter does not shake.

Grandly, as if himself is completely flawless he shows laughing.

"The likes of you have no way of understanding me...!"

"No, understands! The emotion burning in the chest now is a fake, but the impulse that burns the heart is genuine!"

Yes, with sober Niekawa he would not have noticed.

Now under the influence of the demonic eyes of charm. Precisely because now longing for the woman named Livy Id he ’empathized’ with Alter’s action.

"Precisely because of that understands the lament and despair of losing the longed other party. Like Livy, only the world differs you are also human."

Was in a place able to save? And yet why did not save!

Alter unconsciously thought so and impulsively lashed out at Mouse. Because if not attacking something seems about to become something.

Ah, truly. Sadly he was human.

"...Shut up, do not spout worldly nonsense with a knowing mouth."

"...That would become so."

Precisely because of that Niekawa ends up holding pity more than hostility.

The words of the man named Niekawa do not reach him. Surely he is convinced it is a mouth attack for shaking his own mental.

Because he himself has been using that kind of means and pressing the other party, words from others surely do not reach. And knowing the meaning of the emotion raging by himself also surely none.

He finally understood the meaning of the words Mouse said. Ah, he would already only be able to bring ruin.

Unable to cry and vent the sadness, unable to mourn a precious person and put a division in the heart. While unable to understand what the swelling emotion is, only lashing out at everything reflected in the pupils.

If said an end fitting a villain that is it, but even so he ends up thinking was there not a more different ending.

But the man named Niekawa Kazuki had no power to overturn this flow.

The man named Niekawa is only a side role in the fight of Sacred and Magician Diabolic.

Only a small boat swaying in the large flow that moves the world. Even if not belittling the same whether present or not, not conceited thinking an existence that produces the flow.

Therefore at the sign jumping from the school building he shows teeth and laughs.

"Did what should be done? Naa, Atel Octo!"

"...Aa."

What appeared is the figure of the already familiar Vigilante.

But that figure was slightly different from until now.

Wrapping black clothes up and down, the figure with the hoodie’s hood deeply covered is the same as before.

But the arm peeking from the sleeve. The tentacle wrapping there is different from usual.

On the surface of that with black gloss dripping mucus a strange pattern like an electronic circuit was floating.

He readies eight tentacles as usual. And powerfully howls.

"Everyone. From here overturn everything! The battle situation, the future, the development! All, all, all...!"
