ALL NOVEL chapter 2
Chapter 2: The Mysterious Entity Omega
“This… thing…!”
“No, don’t resist. I can’t efficiently absorb the energy.”
—
“Ugh… Lu…na… run… away…”
Those were the last words of my comrade before losing consciousness.
I could do nothing but watch helplessly as my comrades fell one by one before my eyes.
Move… move…! I have to save everyone!
No matter how many times I tried to motivate myself, my body refused to move against my will.
“Oh my, what’s wrong? Crying so much… haha, how pathetic.”
The demon woman looked at me mockingly, tightening the restraints on my comrades even more.
This demon must have been transferred here using the teleportation technique embedded in that weakling called Lulerayagus.
In other words, this demon is the real deal… the assassin sent by the demons to defeat us… The recent weakness of the demons was a trap to make us lower our guard for this moment…!
“Haha, that face… I love it… such a wonderful expression… I’ll slowly and carefully convert you into energy within me.”
“Do as you please…”
If I have to live alone in a world without them… I don’t care anymore… about my life…
I let go of my sword weakly and stopped resisting.
“Oh my, have you given up? How sad, your comrades who protected you won’t rest in peace… Well, as you wish… I’ll make it quick for you now!”
In the next moment, a sharp tentacle-like blade was aimed at me.
If it hits, it’s instant death.
Ah… I couldn’t accomplish anything…
As I closed my eyes and awaited death, the sound of dry applause echoed in the air.
“Bravo, bravo. Using tentacles as a weapon is quite an interesting hobby.”
When I opened my eyes, the tentacle that was about to strike me was sliced apart, and a mysterious man floated between me and the demon.
The man was clad in a black robe, and from the depths of his hood, a creepy mask stared intently at me.
And above all, I felt an overwhelming pressure from this man.
This man is undoubtedly strong.
“Ahhh!! My tentacle!! Who are you!!”
“My name is Omega.”
The man said in a low voice that seemed to shake the ground.
“Luna, the Ice Princess, do not die. You are an indispensable person for my ideal world.”
As the man raised his hand towards me, my wounds healed, and my magic power rapidly recovered.
A-amazing… my wounds are completely healed…
“Don’t look away!!”
—
“Don’t move, or you’ll die.”
The moment the man’s finger moved slightly, a tremendous gust of wind arose, slicing the demon’s body in half.
“Wha, what? Huh…?”
“I told you not to move… Next, I’ll take your head.”
What did he just do? I didn’t see anything…
Is his ability slashing? Or is it that light that healed me? I don’t know…!
“I am a demon! Th-this is nothing…!”
“It’s useless. You can no longer regenerate your body.”
“Wh-why… why can’t I regenerate…!”
“It’s over, let’s end this.”
“Don’t underestimate meeeeeee!!”
With a roar filled with resentment, countless sharp tentacles were launched at the man. The magical girls, who were the original target, were thrown aside, and all the tentacles were aimed at the man.
The moment my comrades were freed, I rushed out and managed to retrieve everyone safely.
“Thank goodness… everyone is breathing… That man even healed these girls…”
They were all just unconscious, so they would wake up soon.
All that was left was to retreat…
I glanced at the man.
The countless tentacles that had attacked the man were beginning to collapse from the tips, and the outcome was already decided.
“Are you satisfied now? If you leave now, I’ll let you go. Use teleportation magic or something and go home. Hurry up.”
“Ugh… Who would run away… I am a demon… There’s no way I could lose to someone like you… a fake demon…”
“I see, that’s unfortunate.”
As the man muttered those words, cracks began to spread throughout the demon’s body.
“My body is cracking—”
In that instant, the demon’s body crumbled completely.
‘…Sigh… What a waste, such a valuable asset…’
He muttered something regretfully in a low voice.
“Hey… who are you? What is your goal?”
I asked him fearfully.
To be honest, I was a little scared.
Even though he saved us, that power is dangerous. He might be even more dangerous than the demons.
—
—
But more than that, I wanted to know about him.
He stared at me with that cold mask.
“You don’t need to know… Stay away from me.”
With just those words, he flew away at an incredible speed.
“Omega…”
I know I shouldn’t trust him, whether he’s an enemy or an ally, as a magical girl protecting the peace of the citizens… But I… I…
Leaving with my comrades, I still had lingering feelings.
