ALL NOVEL chapter 7
Chapter 7: Thank You
High above the sky.
I was watching the battle between the magical girls and the demons from there.
“……”
‘What’s wrong, Sota? Aren’t you going to intervene?’
“Wait, I’m savoring this moment a bit longer…”
‘Hmm? Ah, I see… I’ve met many people, but… you’re the craziest of them all. Kufufu, you truly are the best.’
The magical girls are fighting against two powerful demons.
And now, the battle has finally reached its conclusion.
The result is a crushing defeat for the magical girls.
Luna, the last one standing, looks at her fallen comrades with an expression as if the world has ended.
Ah, this is perfect… Luna, usually so calm and cool, now showing a face of despair at the overwhelming power difference with the demons, her eyes losing their light as she looks at her injured, fallen comrades… Truly… magical girls are the best!
To be able to see the magical girls’ despair up close like this… I’m really glad I came to this world. Thank you, god of magical girls, for reincarnating me.
As I was enjoying the afterglow, I noticed the demons were about to deliver the final blow to the magical girls.
“……Well then”
Demon-kun, your job is done.
‘Is it over?’
“Yes, I’m intervening now.”
‘Kufufu, I’ve been waiting for this.’
I plummet towards the ground at high speed.
And I land forcefully between the two.
“My name is Omega.”
Standing between Luna and the demons, I said in a voice that seemed to echo from the depths of hell.
“You really… came…! You are my…”
I felt like Luna behind me was muttering something, but I turned to face the demons.
“Omega? Who the hell are you?”
The demon asked suspiciously.
“You don’t need to know, because you are about to be annihilated.”
“…You sure talk big. Do you think you can defeat us, the upper demons, Yanija the ‘Swiftfoot’ and Procyon the ‘Explosive’?”
—
—
High-ranking demon, huh… And with a second name too.
I’ve seen those with second names in anime. Demons with powerful and vicious abilities.
But this is the first time I’ve heard of a high-ranking demon.
(Valdia, do you know anything about this?)
『They are a superior species with better physical abilities and unique powers than ordinary demons. They are like nobles among humans. A high-ranking demon with a second name is quite strong.』
(But it’s not a problem, right?)
『No, not at all.』
Neither do I. I don’t feel like losing even a millimeter.
“Do you think you can’t be defeated?”
“Ugh! You can act tough only for now!”
“I’ll kill you!”
Both of them attacked me simultaneously, with Procyon’s explosion and Yanija’s swift thrust approaching me.
Well then, let’s have a little combat test.
(Valdia)
『Understood.』
I blocked Yanija’s thrust.
Valdia blocked Procyon’s explosion.
Each of us defended.
When I easily stopped Yanija’s swift thrust with my index and middle fingers, a clear agitation appeared on Yanija’s face.
“Wh-Why!? How can you do that!”
“Well, maybe it’s because I’m stronger than you?”
“Don’t play dumb… How can you defend against Procyon’s attack while focusing on me and even counterattack!”
When I looked to the side, I saw Procyon, who should have been launching an explosion at me, with his arm blown off and a pained expression on his face.
『I was bored just defending, so I counterattacked as well☆』
(As expected of Valdia, you do things I can’t do with ease. I admire you.)
『Heh, well, yeah. Now, let’s move on.』
(Yeah)
While we were having a light discussion, Yanija, fearing a counterattack like Procyon’s, retreated and put a large distance between us.
“Damn it! My arm! You b*stard…!”
“Procyon, regenerate that quickly!”
—
“———Well then, it’s my turn next, isn’t it?”
“「「Wha!？」」”
Despair painted their faces.
No, I really don’t need your gloom. Who benefits from that?
“First, the explosive one. You go first.”
“D-damn it!!”
In a fit of desperation, Procyon unleashed hundreds of explosions per second at me from both hands.
I blocked them all and gradually closed the distance.
“Damn it! If it comes to this…!”
He stopped the bombardment and instead charged at me.
“I’ll turn this whole town to ashes with my maximum firepower——”
A suicidal attack, huh?
How utterly repulsive.
“Evil Eye of Destruction”
“Wha…”
In that instant, Procyon’s legs gave way.
No, it wasn’t just his legs.
Cracks spread throughout his entire body.
“Wha… gah! Gah———”
And then the cracks shattered, and his entire body crumbled.
“You’re next, aren’t you?”
“Damn you, monster!”
Deciding he couldn’t win against me, Yanija flew high into the sky with incredible speed.
“Even a little further away from that monster——”
“——Too slow.”
“Wha! When did you——”
In an instant, I caught up to him and delivered a powerful kick, sending him crashing to the ground.
A large crater formed upon impact.
(Voldia, I’m counting on you.)
‘Yeah, leave it to me.’
—
Immediately after, several jet-black magic circles appeared behind me.
『《Bullet of Destruction》』
The moment Voldia chanted that, the magic circles flashed brightly, and jet-black energy bullets were released from the magic circles, striking the crater of Yania.
Bullet after bullet, the jet-black projectiles gouged out the ground widely.
By the time the barrage ceased, Yania’s figure was nowhere to be seen, and only a large deep hole remained.
◇
I descended to the ground and checked the condition of the magical girls’ injuries, treating them one by one.
Fiona was severely injured, but when I treated her, she returned to a perfect state.
This is pretty amazing… Maybe I could even revive someone from death——
For a moment, a bad thought crossed my mind, but my love for the magical girls wouldn’t allow it.
After finishing treating all the magical girls, just as I was about to leave, I felt someone tugging at the edge of my robe. When I turned around, there was Luna with a gentle smile.
“Omega…”
“What is it?”
“Tha…nk… you…”
As soon as she expressed her gratitude, she lost consciousness again.
“Ah, you’re welcome… Rena.”
I removed my mask, gently said those words, and soared high into the sky.
