LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 42: The annoying loud Princess
“Aries……. I love you.”
Realizing he was about to die Johannes spoke his last words in what seemed like a peaceful acceptance of death.
“Dad!”
As if Aries’ scream was the starting gun, tears of red began to rain into the magic circle. The sound of rained drowned out a scream and just like that Johannes was gone. Only the sound of water falling remained.
“Dad!”
“Do you feel despair?”
Dissolved by the bloody tears falling through it, the ceiling began to collapse.
“Hey Bell, can you do that one thing again?”
“Of course! 《Black Hole》!”
The same black sphere appeared swallowing the throne as well as its surroundings, ceiling and all.
With the ceiling now completely gone in that area, the moonlight shown through much stronger than before lighting up the area.
“W….. What was that?”
With the ceiling gone the godess was clearly visible, her glowing red eyes causing Aries to tremble.
“Thats the goddess. You don’t even know something simple like that? ”
By defeating <>, the unique skill <> was activated. Choose your loot.
“Oh, it seems Johannes is dead.”
Masamune appeared emotionless as he said this, as if he was just stating a fact to Aries who had tears welling up in her eyes.
“Why……why are you making us suffer this much?”
“Thats my line. Why were you that ugly? How were you able to do such things?”
But Aries didn’t understand and simply looked confused.
“I wanted to be able to move things with my mind, fly through the air, or summon fire…. But as a healer those things aren’t possible for me.”
At those words Aries’ expression began to change and seeing that Masamune flipped back his hood.
“Y-you no, I-I”
“Killed me?”
It seems that to Aries, Masamune should have already died. He smiled at her reaction.
“Fhuuuu, good. You’re as despicable as I thought you were. But it seems you remember my face.”
“I- all I did was use teleportation magic on you.”
“You discarded me! You knew I wouldn’t be able to survive and you threw me away like I was some kind of trash.”
During this time Masamune wasn’t just glaring at Aries, he was considering how he should kill her.
“But that’s good, you failed to even recognize my existence and that is the reason for your downfall.”
“My downfall?”
“How do you think I did it?”
“What?”
“You don’t know right? How I got so powerful? Well, I didn’t know why I was thrown away for being a healer. But I don’t think it was a mistake, you see after living in this world for a bit I noticed that, that’s just how it is. Healers are treated as trash. And you had other heros you didn’t need me.”
“Then..”
“I should have died, but you people interrupted my suicide. And then you ridiculed me, laughed at me and cast me away into the darkness. But it’s important to reward the people who prevented my suicide. I’m going to live in this world from now on, see and feel things. But you’ve made a fool out of my alongside Saeki. That’s why you’re going to die.”
Masamune talked out loud to himself knowing that Aries wouldn’t understand.
“Then, what about this! You can enter the academy and study magic with the others! I’ll welcome you! You’d make a great magician!”
“You just don’t want to die. Even now you’re thinking about how to survive. But that’s sweet, you’ll welcome me even though I just killed your dad right in front of you? How despicable.”
“I’m not! Why don’t we-”
“You’re dirty, you can’t be allowed to live. You took part in the hero summoning right? You’re probably planning to do it again aren’t you? Are humans like some kind of dolls to you? Like you’re using them to play some kind of lottery? ”
“I just want to defeat the demons! That’s all!”
“I doubt that. And why should I have to study with those weaklings? You look down on others and insult then, when your own abilities amount to nothing. The confidence you have in yourself is unjustified.”
“Nito, we’ve finished up over here.”
Seig and the others came over leaving various corpses on the ground behind them.
“Wait, I’ll finish this up.”
Masamune kicked Aries in the stomach sending her rolling away until she finally came to a stop by where the large doors were.
“Gaha!”
Aries threw up blood onto the floor.
“But you guys don’t have to study anymore. By the way, how is Saeki? Is he still alive? How’s Koizumi? Kawachi was the class representative but she did it to. All of them are guilty.”
“What!? Arent they your friends!? Your classmates!”
“Aww, are you trying to appeal to my emotions now? That’s cheesy.”
His eye still glowing red he tilted his head, his gaze cold.
“I never thought of them as friends, when you cast me away Saeki even laughed didn’t he? Oh and how’s Ichijo? Is he still playing around like some sorta hero of justice?”
“He’s got problems but they’re nothing compared to yours Hidaka.”
“Oh, you remembered my name!? Well then, as the reward…. Why don’t I let you escape?”
Aries eyes grew wide causing Masamune to smile.
“I’m kidding.”
Sighing he walked over to Aries.
“But, if you beg I might think about it. ”
Aries glared at him as he drew closer.
“Stop trying to make a fool out of me.”
“What, I’d really think about it.”
Her expression softened and she slowly crawled around so that she could grovel towards Masamune.
“《Soul Break》”
Immediately after Masamune cast his magic a magic circle that had never actually appeared shattered around Aries.
“What was that?”
Although he sensed it, Masamune had no idea what Aries was trying to do.
“Teleportation magic.”
Sieg answered.
“That is where her title comes from, she’s able to change the color of her magic circles making them transparent so her teleporting goes unnoticed by her opponent. Rendering them unable to react.”
“Right up until the end you won’t admit your guilt and still you try to escape. 《Phantom Pain》”
Aries screamed twisting her body in different directions trying to escape the pain.
“Now this is magic. 《Phantom Pain》!” Masamune watched Aries suffer. “《Effect heal》”
The three standing behind Masamune although disturbed, remained quiet as they watched.
“OK that’s enough, I’ve often thought about how I should make you suffer you know. Should I cut off each finger one by one? But now that I’m here all of those ideas are gone. I’m liable to just kill you because my emotions are running pretty high at the moment.”
Masamune jumped forward crushing Aries’ right arm with his left. Her arm burst apart like a water balloon but it appeared that she had no energy left to scream. Was the healing magic not working? Although Masamune didn’t care enough in this moment to question it.
“Now then what’s next.”
Aries appeared to be paralyzed no longer in pain as her eyes grew hollow.
“《Heal》”
Masamune stopped the bleeding but the arm didn’t come back. Aries was now without arms.
“Isnt it great? How is it, no more pain right? What do you think of a healers magic now?”
“This……isn’t healing magic…”
Even though he asked a question Masamune wasn’t listening to the answer. He instead kicked at Aries’ legs causing both of them to burst as well. And after stopping the bleeding Aries was no longer able to move.
“The pain you feel now, is nothing compared to what I felt in that darkness.”
Masamune repeatedly cast magic, healing Aries when it became to much but the effects could be seen on her dress in a mixture of blood, drool and dirt. But still Masamune’s expression never changed.
“I never expected to have to kill here. I didn’t want to kill.”
He kicked Aries in the face, knocking out various teeth.
“Guu, waith…. Jush my wife peeeesh peeeesh…”
“Even in that state, you still want to live? That’s surprising.”
“Elp mee, peeesh, peeeeeesh shaf mee”
“How unpleasant.”
As he said that, Masamune stomped on her head.
By defeating “Aries Greyberg [Lv: 42]”, the unique skill 《Goddess’s Blessing》 has been activated. Choose your loot.
Looking down at the scene below him Masamune said nothing. He felt what it was like to take revenge for the first time. His eye continued to glow red but showed no expression. He even felt sad for a moment but there was no sign of this ok his face or in his eyes. Masamune doesn’t understand this feeling. He’s taken revenge but it doesn’t feel as he expected it to, it seems that for a time, Masamune will still be suffering.
