Chapter 106: Violent storm of destruction
Flying like a thunder which tears the sky, Grannir approaches Hellfire-san. With that huge body, I wonder what he thought if I could get into it. It is not far from opening. Although it may be a little far away, he tries to take a position that can be avoided instantaneously when an attack comes. While receiving an attack, Hellfire-san intercepted with a basic brace. Keeping a burning film in front of you and keep it away from you. As Hellfire-san moves a little away, he will relentlessly release heat rays, so that he can determine the amount of Grannir′s magic power. Normal attacks are breaths that melt the floor of that space that seems absolutely unbreakable and raising fire pillars that penetrate the sky. If it was me, how to deal with that.... It's pretty crazy to say that you won't hit anything if you don't hit. It is a kind of truth in battle, but it is a very difficult technique to carry out. If Grannir is hit directly, even his immortality might not be enough at all. Grannir dodges everything on occasions, sometimes drilling with a ray of light and gradually approaches Hellfire. He is getting used to Hellfire′s attacks, so he managed to catch up somehow, but I could see only his shadow a while ago. Because of the Hellfire′s large figure, Grannir feels very small. His body is just a little bigger than me, but how much strength he has.... I cannot imagine.
Finally, Grannir avoided Hellfire′s barrage and came in front of Hellfire. Accelerating in a straight line, he thrust out his fist at the same speed. A blow at God’s speed aimed at Hellfire′s face, but it was slightly slippery before striking and stayed only by scratching his cheeks. The scales bite off and the under meat gets exposed in a line. The thrust flies as it is and leaves deep holes and cracks in the floor tiles. That sword, not only has the special ability of immortality killing but also the sharpness is inherited...well, as expected, the sword which the emperor has is said to be a bit different. The other is classic, though, of mediocrity other than a special ability.
However, with that attack, Grannir exposed his body to Hellfire. Hellfire opens his mouth wide and breathes in causing his chest to bulge. Something bright red gathers in his mouth and diverged with directionality. And a breath, hidden in the sky with a huge enormous amount of energy that can not be considered as heat rays, is released. It is rather like a satellite beam that appears in animes or mangas. It is not from outer space, but it is released from the ground. It's like an image.
Grannir received a direct hit from this deathly attack. To my surprise, he only suffered from limb deficits and his whole body was burned. No, something is strange.... Most things would be erased if you receive such a breath.
『Hou, I didn't imagined that you would be able to survive my breath. Apparently, not only are you an immortal, but you also have a strong body』Hellfire
『Did he concentrate his magical power on his limbs and use them as a shield? He can't win, if he can't do it』Thunderclap
『Then you may be able to fight Thunderclap~. Hey, you look like a lizard tail』Honey Poison
『I'm not a lizard!』Thunderclap
There is still room for Hellfire-san to fight with full power. Even though the limbs of Grannir are recovering immediately, a large amount of sweat is still floating. He is likely to be still capable of fighting, but the situation is a little disadvantageous. freewebnove(l)
“In a long-term battle, I am overwhelmingly disadvantageous..." Grannir
『What's the matter with you? So you′re not going to be a god at all』Hellfire
“...Fuu” Grannir
Grannir lowered his weakened arms. If you look at what he is going to do, the magic that is emitted from his body suddenly increased with shock.
『Nuu!?』Hellfire
“Then, short-term battle!” Grannir
A shock erupted from the space again and Hellfire-san was blown away while shedding blood. His chest from the shoulder to the chest was torn and Grannir started to swing his sword at that place. Magical power increased? No, the total amount does not seem to have changed. In addition, the power is enough to blow off Hellfire-san from sudden acceleration...the conclusion is drawn from here.
“Is he concentrating his magical power instantaneously on one part?" Tsuchio
“It is a kind of body strengthening technique. It is the same as the one that the beginner of martial art learns at the beginning. But, that's what he studied secretly?" Danzetsu?
“Certainly, even if you concentrate magical powers above the limit, he will have it for a while. His muscles and bones are going to be in a bad state, but...because he is immortal, he will recover on his own." Tsuchio
“In the first place, a dragon has a high healing ability. Even if you don't like that, I guess he will recover if he rests for a few days. It may have had a time limit when he was living, but it was gone because he was revived. He can keep using it until his magical power runs out.” Danzetsu
I also understand because I am doing something similar. To what extent do we have to train up to that point? Besides, there is nothing useful about it for me. It is a magical operation that relies entirely on your own senses. It is a technique which humans cannot reach, no, they do not try to think about risks. Because Grannir is a demon, he is capable of doing it. As a person who manipulates magical powers, I can only give my respect.
In order for Hellfire to release his breath, he has to breathe in which will take a few seconds. It is too much against Grannir who got speed. This time, this time, he runs around in length and width at the speed at which a shadow is placed and attacks with his sword. Even though he just slashed along the bottom, the wound is sharp and deep. Gradually, the scales dyed with blood, becoming red and black. Grannir was convinced that he could win, so he increased his speed steadily and his sword attacked Hellfire under the moonlight.
『...How about this?』Hellfire
However, that striking is stopped by a fireball released by Hellfire-san. Grannir is hit from the front and is blown away by the blast. As he looked again, a number of fireballs floated around Hellfire-san.
“Ggu...troublesome.” Grannir
『I do not like such tricks, but I can't grumble about this. Now, how will you avoid this?』Hellfire
Again, Grannir runs at godspeed. He brakes finely and changes direction, saw a gap between the fireballs and came close to Hellfire. It seems that his speed is comparable to the previous time. However, it seemed that it was enough for Hellfire. Before Grannir moved, Hellfire-san already counterattacked. Grannir tried to stop right away and retreat, but he was only able to ease the shock. The swinging fist hits Grannir’s whole body and blows him away to the ground, splitting the floor. Did Hellfire reduce the space by placing fireballs and read the movements of Grannir? Unwillingly, there was a more favorable way of fighting. Well surely, it is not a tactic that Hellfire seems to like so much.
“Oh, it is difficult to break free."
“Shouldn't he thrust against the fireball? He is an immortal and it will be okay if he gets injured."
“No, that fireball probably has little power. Instead, the blast is pretty intense. The moment he thrusts in, he will be bounced back."
“If that is the case, he only has to avoid it. However, if he avoids it, you can read his movement.... Then, he will be limited in his attacks."
“I would destroy the fireball.”
It seems that Grannir thought the same. As soon as he approached again, did he release a light beam to avoid the fireballs. When one exploded, the other fireballs that were blasted by the blast blow up. In the blink of an eye, an explosive flame fills my field of vision. Immediately after Grannir assaulted, he came close again. However, Hellfire-san’s response is quick. Immediately after he produced fireballs again did he arrange them so that they surround himself and Grannir. When Grannir goes down, he will explode and get blown away, so with that momentum, the fight will reach its climax. Although it is a double-edged sword for Hellfire-san - because of his huge figure. For Grannir who is beaten on the ground, this time, he shot big fire bulbs and evacuated to the sky. An explosive blend of red and orange blasts the floor and burns the space. Booommmm!!! Along with the sound, my skin trembled.
In the middle of the hypocenter, there was a man whose skin was carbonized in some places with wings burnt down. But still, because of immortality, he won't die. During a blink, the meat is regenerated, the skin is restored and the wings also appear again. What a disgusting, unbearable person who wouldn't be fainting with a single shot.
『...Why do not you erase him? With countless attacks, won’t it become a fatal injury?』 Thunderclap
『As long as you can not disassociate him with a single shot, do not do it ~』 Honey Poison
『If it could be done, I would have no hardship.... Indeed, immortality is a difficult enemy.』 Hellfire
It seems that it won't be so easy. He won't be erased even with Hellfire′s fire...well, after all do we have to kill him with the immortality killing sword? But, I don't think we will get that sword so easily. Even if we exhaust his magical power, he will still have some strength. Long term battle was a disadvantage earlier, but unless there is a way to kill him, the other side will win. Is there a method....
“Do you have a idea?" Tsuchio
“Don't ask me, it's not so easy to come up with." Danzetsu
“No, Danzetsu-san can manipulate the space, so you could seal him into another space." Tsuchio
“You're telling me to watch over him all the time? No, that's annoying.” Danzetsu
“Then, is it possible to compress the space tightly and crush him? If he becomes small dust, he won't be able to regenerate again.” Tsuchio
“I don't know. Even if he becomes small at the same level of dust, is he really not able to revive?” Danzetsu
I imagine his brain, blood and meat are scattered from seemingly absent places, then it gradually reproduces into a man....It is frightening that I cannot say anything.
“In the worst, we can attack at the same time with three breaths at once. If it is impossible for one, then let’s use two or three." Danzetsu
“...Well, yes” Tsuchio
“The only thing we can do now is to watch, Tsuchio. Keep your eyes on the transition without interfering.” Danzetsu
“Yes..." Tsuchio
If I open my mouth, first of all I need to have the ability to say.... I don't think what I say will be an advice.
『Let's just shoot the best shot as far as I can shoot. If that is not enough, I will ask you two to continue.』Hellfire
『Well, is that okay? The strongest firepower of the three of us is possessed by you.』Thunderclap
『Leave the rest to us afterwards, we will do as planned~』Honey Poison
『Umm, I know.』Hellfire
Even over there, Hellfire-san seems to want to end it with one shot. What is the best breath, a satellite beam or more than that? I can't imagine.
“I cannot be erased here. I have something to do!" Grannir
It seems that Grannir plans to finish it now. Even if Hellfire′s magical power has run out, we still have two people. No matter how immortal he is, he can not fight without magical powers. I certainly thought that the long-term battle was disadvantageous. Both Hellfire and Grannir have reached the limit of their magical powers. Holding the ground firmly with both fore and aft feet, Hellfire takes a position like a cannon. Grannir resembles Ruu, with both palms together. When the magical powers of two people reached the critical moment, my field of view broke down into two top and bottom.
Hellfire-san′s fire breath was thinner than the satellite beam, I imagined. However, its color is cloudy red, which seems like magma. The cloudy red heat wave spreads like a ripple and flies while melting the space. Grannir launched a new light ray as expected. However, it is different from the previous ones because of its higher intensity. The Ray has an extraordinary shine and everything becomes shining white. The breath and light ray that struck directly in front of each other, collide in the next instant and mixes together. The floor collapses and it is gradually decreasing.
“Hmm? Hey, block all of your eyes and ears. It's coming.” Danzetsu
“Eh?” Tsuchio
Immediately after closing the ears as told, the impact surface began to expand and surround us. That ball that was mixed in red and white suddenly dyes red. At the next moment, a hot wire pierces through the ball and flies straight at Grannir. It hit him directly. Without penetrating his body, the breath pushes Grannir back. Then, he landed on the wall at the far end of the vast space, which was stained by orangish red like lava.
“...I just wanted...to make the Empire flourish forever." Grannir
Speaking in terms of distance, the wall is 10 kilometers away. Grannir′s voice reached my ears and I was able to see the end with the oscillating vibration of space and the explosive sound which broke my eardrums. Magma erupts from the walls and floors, like a volcanic eruption. The difference is that it continues to blow up like a fire pillar. In the pillar, Grannir was burned and is suffering until he disappeared without leaving even a piece of dust.
