Chapter 1334: 〇〇〇sa ④

Chapter 1334 – 〇〇〇sa ④

The fistfight called mental power battle with Megiddo-san’s destructive impulse continues…… Unfortunately, time passed without a proper effective blow being given.

Even though there wasn’t much damage dealt, it seemed as if there was really no way for me to get a hold of it. As I was thinking this, rings like the one wrapping around it before suddenly wrapped around the body of the destructive impulse and it stopped moving.

“Kaito, I’m sorry. That’s enough.”

[Megiddo-san?]

Hearing Megiddo-san’s unusually apologetic voice, I tilted my head.

“I’m sorry I got you involved in my situation. I didn’t want to see you being one-sidedly beaten any more than this because of my circumstances…… You did a great job. That’s why, that’s enough……”

[…………………..]

In the first place, the reason I agreed to this matter, even though I was being swept away by the suddenness of the situation, was because Megiddo-san’s wish to do something about her destructive impulse was a serious one.

I felt that Megiddo-san’s feelings, which were conveyed through my Sympathy Magic, were even somewhat like a request for salvation.

In fact, as she had asked Kuro and Alice to do in the past, Megiddo-san was probably anxious to do something about this destructive impulse of hers. I don’t know what it feels like to keep such a thing in your body that if you don’t seal it off, it will go on a rampage…… At least, I don’t think that’s something I can’t stand.

[……Megiddo-san, please don’t be ridiculous.

“Kaito?”

[Megiddo-san, you like to compete with others, and you do these battles a lot, don’t you? In that case, did you seriously think it’s exciting to hear from the audience that “that’s enough” or something like that!?]

“………………….”

[If you have time to say such pathetic things, please show me your support instead!]

Giving up and stuff like that is out of the window anymore. For the time being, I’m going to do the best that I can for Megiddo-san……

“……You’re right. Sorry, that was a stupid thing to say. Kaito, go for it! Beat that thing up!”

[Yes!]

Well then, let’s not play any more tricks. It’s time for me to get serious and hit it with everything I’ve got!

At Kaito’s words, Megiddo broke the seal she had placed on her destructive impulse. Naturally, the destructive impulse rushed toward Kaito with all its might and swung its fist at him…… but Kaito neither averted his eyes from it nor did he defend himself against it, but instead received it with his face and swung his fist for a counterattack.

The blow catches the face of the destructive impulse and sends its body flying away.

Yes, Kaito had already discarded his superficial defenses. He just takes the destructive impulse’s attack head-on and counterattacks. That is the only simple strategy he has adopted.

The destructive impulse continued to swing its fist at him, but Kaito continued to receive its fists without budging at all, and struck a counterattack when he thought he could get a clear shot. Thereupon, the destructive impulse would be blown away again.

The destructive impulse also has a will of its own. Faced with this situation, it was now a little confused. Kaito’s latest attack on it was much heavier than the previous one.

However, thinking that it may have just been its imagination, it struck again and felt a strange sensation when it launched several attacks.

At first, receiving the destructive impulse’s attacks makes Kaito’s head somewhat recoil. When Kaito’s mind becomes unstable, the damage it inflicts against him also passes through…… but what about now? No matter how many fists it slammed into him, Kaito didn’t even budge an inch. On the contrary, his speed and power of the occasional counterattack is increasing rapidly.

Yes…… Having been filled with determination, Kaito’s mentality was getting stronger and stronger at an accelerated rate.

……The destructive impulse could no longer follow the speed of Kaito’s fists with its own eyes. The frequency of counterattacks he sent began to increase compared to when they first fought. The destructive impulse’s arm that was hitting Kaito began to hurt it instead. At an abnormal speed, Kaito’s mentality is getting stronger.

Thereupon…… The hands of the destructive impulse stops. Even if it attacks Kaito, it would only receive a powerful counterattack, just for it to unleash an attack that wouldn’t deal damage to Kaito at all. As the destructive impulse pondered, thinking what it should do…… It became astonished.

For itself, a personification of a destructive impulse…… to actually be hesitating to attack, such a thing is something it couldn’t believe.

When it comes to strong opponents, this destructive impulse has dealt with them before. Kuromueina and Shalltear…… Both have overpowered it and subdued it with their skills. However, this destructive impulse never gave in, thinking that there would come a day when it could grow even stronger and defeat them.

However, what about the being in front of it now? In the beginning, even though there was some strength difference between them, it was superior to him in terms of skill. However, Kaito is still growing at an accelerated rate. His mentality is getting stronger and stronger, as if his willpower was inexhaustible.

“If I can’t win……”. Such a thought crossed its mind, but as if to shake it off, the destructive impulse ran towards Kaito and swung a fist at him————– only to be blown away by Kaito’s fist swung towards him.

Kaito’s physical ability had already improved to the point where he could see the destructive impulse’s attack, allowing him to slam his fist into it first. A hopeless gap in ability was forming between the two of them.

The destructive impulse was astonished, but immediately afterwards, along with the sound of a snap, one of its horns broke…… and in this battle where one’s mentality is competing with each other, a clear damage to the physical body…… is in other words, proof that its heart is about to break.

As the destructive impulse wondered what in the world it should do…… It saw Kaito suddenly burst into tears.

“Kaito!? What’s the matter!? Are you alright!?”

[Yes, I’m sorry. I was just so happy……]

“Happy?”

At the sound of Megiddo’s voice of curiosity, the destructive impulse is also unable to move because it doesn’t understand the situation well. In such a situation, Kaito calmly spun his words.

[No, it really just awakened so abruptly…… Even when I knew that she would continue to exist in my heart when she disappeared……]

“U- Unnn?”

While the others were confused by his words, Kaito wipes away his tears and staring at the destructive impulse with eyes filled with strength, he spun his words.

[The heart treads upon the definite path——– Smiling together, crying together, accumulating footprints of memories together——– The bonds I weave are the fragments of a miracle——– My heart, burst forth! Together, become one! “Αναμν?σει?”!]

(T/N: Memories)

As his words filled with definite power were spun, Kaito’s body shone strongly…… and then, someone else’s voice, neither Kaito’s nor Megiddo’s, echoed in that space.

[……How should I say this…… I know this is too late already…… but thank you for waiting, Kaito-san! The “Support Character” makes her entrance!]

Serious-senpai : [Objection!!!]

? ? ? : [Whoa there, what’s up with you?]

Serious-senpai : [Look, I forgot where that thing has been brought up, but isn’t something like awakening stuff like this supposed to happen when Kaito is in a pinch or something!!!?]

? ? ? : [I see. Well then, let’s put the situation in order.]

～～～～～～

Destructive Impulse : (What the heck is this being, my attacks won’t even connect properly. Feeling like without any limits, he’s getting stronger and stronger. The destructive impulse that I am is on the verge of giving in…… It’s frustrating, but it’s also fortunate that I was able to fight such a great opponent……)

Kaito: [Uwrrrooooogggghhhh, Αναμν?σει?!]

Destructive: (Why the heck did you decide to go for an overkill!? Tell me!)

～～～～～～

? ? ? : [—–or something like that?]

Serious-senpai : [……Unnn. I see, it just awakened even when he’s not in a pinch. And so, even when he’s got so much advantage that he’s almost assured victory, that ability decided to awaken and he went for an overkill…… Isn’t that too mean, Protagonist!?]
