Chapter 74: Lightning and darkness

The mid-air hanging garden that can look over the whole empire, seemed like a place that humanity can’t reach anymore.

It’s not just us. Humanity, no, the world should be observing this.

And then, I suddenly thought.

Although I don’t know about war, I know that the side who kills the general in this world’s battles are the ones that gain victory.

If Forna was defeated here, humanity would take a fatally big loss.

However, what if she defeated her enemy here?

It will be a great victory for humanity.

“Come out to the front, prince Ragaia. I will settle the conclusion right here and now.” (Forna)

Forna takes a stance. The lightning covering her body crackles from time to time, making a noise.

However, Ragaia doesn’t go along with Forna’s invitation so easily.

“Fuh, a one to one fight? It must be the worthless pride of a soldier.” (Ragaia)

In the next moment, Ragaia flicked his fingers.

Then, four huge 5-metre cyclopes with bare upper halves appeared in front of Forna.

“Ragaia! You are…………” (Forna)

“This is the great one-eyed force unit. Now, I guess I will take a look at your skill, princess Forna.” (Ragaia)

He’s completely looking down on her. If I was there, I would have definitely slapped that brat’s face.

However, even though her one to one fight was obstructed, Forna’s expression wasn’t bewildered.

Then,

“Zeaaaaaa!” (?)

In the next moment, together with a strong roar, a mighty strike crushed one of the cyclopes’ bodies without leaving a trace.

“I cannot let you fight alone, princess. As your knight, I will crush all these scoundrels that have no knowledge.” (?)

Ahh, I almost broke into a smile.

It’s been quite a while since I saw him too.

When Forna went to the empire five years ago, he accompanied her as her servant and is currently a man that runs through battlefields with Forna as her adjutant.

“Galva, is there any problem with just myself alone?” (Forna)

“The problem is these things that are causing you trouble, princess.” (Galva)

He is the Elfarshia Kingdom’s guard leader, Galva. When I was young, he looked after me too.

“Hou, Giant Killing Galva, huh.” (Ragaia)

“Prince Ragaia and Mackey Mouse. This is the end of your conspiracy. I will judge you under the name of justice!” (Galva)

As always, that guy is with Forna anywhere she goes.

“Now, princess! I will take on these ones! Princess, you go for prince Ragaia! Please take the enemy general’s head!” (Galva)

“Yes, I will!” (Forna)

I glanced at Farga who isn’t showing an expression, but I can tell he’s in a slightly good mood.

Even though it’s through a reflection, if you haven’t met them for five years, it really does feel moving.

It’s a world without TVs or phones after all.

“Damn this is so awesome! What are you going to do, prince Ragaia, this is a pinch! Awesome!” (Mackey Mouse)

“I’m scared~, let’s run away!” (Maney Mouse)

However, these guys completely ruined my immersion of those feelings.

Mackey Mouse and Maney Mouse. Rather, shouldn’t I just call him Kagami?

However, Ragaia’s response to that was cold.

“Run away if you don’t want to be here. After coming this far, I alone should be enough.” (Ragaia)

Waaao, that’s some amazing confidence. Although she’s smiling, that statement probably hit Forna’s pride, as she looks a bit irritated.

“In that case, do you want to try it out, prince Ragaia?” (Forna)

“Hmph. Well then, I will teach you that the three titles that have existed since far before in the past, the Seven Great Demon King, Four Heavenly Beast Demi-humans and Ten Heroes of Light, are already ancient relics.” (Ragaia)

That brat, he probably just picked a fight with all the champions in the world right now.

“Fufufufu, you sure are saying something strange, boy. It seems I have to make you understand that the title of the Ten Heroes of Light is not a relic, and is an inherited will!” (Forna)

At that moment, I saw a huge lightning strike ahead of us, who are flying.

It’s from the direction of the Archline empire, that we still can’t see yet.

No way. As I think that and look towards the reflection, I see Forna’s body radiating in a golden light.

“O maiden of the god of thunder, change the tears you clad to power, infinite thunder, shine the world! Magic Armament, *Jinrai Retsuha!” (Forna) (TL Note: *Thunderclap Extreme Championship. /shrug)

That’s nostalgic. Her magic I’m seeing after five years is more polished than the past, and the divineness has increased.

That magic doesn’t release lightning energy, but it clads her body in it.

It’s the height of magic techniques that the number of users among humanity can be counted.

“Fufu………… interesting!” (Ragaia)

Ragaia moves as well. A sinister aura starts overflowing out of his whole body, and he holds his hand against his eyepatch.

“I’ll show you the forbidden second eye of the one-eyed race! Demon eye awakening!” (Ragaia)

His aura is probably something magical that’s normally shut in by his eyepatch.

“This is a second eye that is not possible to have for the cyclops race. Do you want to try touching that dark taboo?” (Ragaia)

By cladding the overflowing energy on his body after taking off his eyepatch, darkness with an endless abyss covered Ragaia, like the reverse of Forna’s light.

“…… What a deep, sinister darkness. How sad……” (Forna)

“Now, let us begin, Golden Comet Forna!” (Ragaia)

Darkness and light. The differing powers both clash, engulfing each other.

“Thunder fist!” (Forna)

“Darkness Impact!” (Ragaia)

That was truly a fight of gods. A decisive battle of the peak.

Lightning and darkness are scattering in the sky far away.

“Fufu, that is some impressive energy. Interesting, it seems like I can fight with all my strength for once.” (Ragaia)

Ragaia jumps up to the sky. On his fist, a black vortex is whirling around.

That vortex gradually gained more power and he fired it towards Forna when it became a huge vortex.

“Dark maelstrom!” (Ragaia)

Everything gets swallowed up in that darkness.

I don’t know what would happen if you got dragged into it.

However, without any change in her expression, Forna jumped into the vortex by her own accord instead.

“Who do you think I might be! Something like an abyss of darkness cannot match my light that illuminates the world!” (Forna)

“Fuh, don’t underestimate it! It is a space of darkness that swallows up everything. Are you able to endure that?” (Ragaia)

“That is what I said was naive! I cannot endure it you say? Compared to the pain of not being able to meet the people you love, any hell in this world would be easier to endure!” (Forna)

Dazzling.

Either Forna’s light in the reflection made me think that, or the world actually lit up.

However, the swelling light that stole my eyes from Forna, rushed into the abyss of darkness and smashed it into pieces.

“What incredible energy! In that case, o black clothing that wraps the world, cover this world’s fate!” (Ragaia)

Ragaia’s eyes opened widely as his vortex of darkness was broken, but he immediately activated a defence magic.

“Heaven lightning god!” (Forna)

“Deep black curtain!” (Ragaia)

Light and darkness clash against each other again. However, Forna was the one that controlled this clashing.

“Ah!” (Ragaia)

Without being able to endure that power, Ragaia was sent flying, crashing into the ground as his curtain of darkness broke.

“Hahhahhahha! As expected of you, princess! It seems I must not be careless either! Now, come at me, you brutal one eyes!” (Galva)

“Guraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!” (Cyclops?)

“Seiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!” (Galva)

Isn’t this pretty good? We haven’t arrived yet, but it’s progressed enough to think that.

Forna is strong. Galva hasn’t lost either.

Barts, Shalt and the rest of those reliable, grown-up guys won’t let humanity end.

Chett, who had a hopeless expression at the start, is calmed down now.

If they just keep going, won’t it be fine?

No, I guess it’s not that sweet…………

“I see, it seems that the power of the Ten Heroes of Light is real. I take back my words from before.” (Ragaia)

“Ara, you sure are durable. However, there is no need to worry, since it has been decided that you will not take back your words from before, but instead regret them.” (Forna)

“Fuh, you are quite the harsh princess. With that personality, finding a marriage partner would be difficult.” (Ragaia)

“Don’t worry, my fiance had been decided since ten years ago.” (Forna)

………… She’s not talking about me, right? How long is she going to keep up that joke? She’s already fifteen, isn’t she?

In this world, fifteen is an age where it wouldn’t be weird to have married, so I want to retort and tell her not to keep pulling on that joke.

However, it doesn’t look like she has the room to be joking.

“Then that is unfortunate.” (Ragaia)

“Ara, what is…………!” (Forna)

At that moment, a blade of darkness was fired from Ragaia’s finger at high speed, brushing against Forna’s cheek.

Blood seeps out of her cut cheek. In turn, she glared at her opponent even more intensely.

“Unfortunately, you can’t achieve your desires with your marriage partner. After all, you are going to die here.” (Ragaia)

“What is this………… the darkness is even denser……… for me to get, goosebumps? It seems you are showing your real ability now.” (Forna)

Ragaia’s atmosphere changed too.

I guess this means he finished checking her skill?

Rather, for that to be just checking each other’s skill, how monstrous are those two…………

“Princess! Kuh, I will head there right……… uoh!” (Galva)

“Won’t let interrupt prince. Human die!” (Cyclops)

“Fuh, you’re going to protect your lord huh. Even if your intellect is lacking, your spirit is the same as me! Therefore, I will not yield!” (Galva)

“Die you!” (Cyclops)

As expected, it’s tough to fight them alone, huh. Galva is surrounded by three cyclopes, so he doesn’t seem to be able to backup Forna well.

However, that’s not the only thing I’m worried about.

The most ominous man in this battlefield hasn’t started moving after all.
