I Already Know My Magic Power Is Ridiculously High! Now I Just Need a Cute Wife... - Episode 27

As usual, I swing the pipe and splatter bl00d everywhere.

That hand was trembling slightly.

The heavy weight of severing a Stella-class body lingered in my hand like a numbness.

It feels like hitting the concrete ground with an iron pipe.

On the other hand, I also have a body like Barbato.

No, should I say it’s reassuring or terrifying that I possess an even more resilient body?

“You’re not still alive or anything, right?”

I gaze at the corpse of Barbato, the first Stella-class star I ever killed.

Since he was a tough guy, I lightly tapped the temple of the severed head with the end of the pipe.

“Hah… Hah… Alright, it’s dead.”

I was slightly out of breath.

This is probably a sense of relief and exhilaration.

I must have been scared of the existence of the Stella-class starship somewhere deep down.

Until now, I was half in doubt about whether I could really fight when it came to actual combat, whether I could even take a life.

“Your Excellency… Congratulations on the defeat of the usurper’s bloodline.”

“Geraldo, huh?”

“Your Excellency, the victory shout”

“Oh, that’s right.”

Geraldo offered me words of encouragement, but his expression was somewhat stiff.

Well, I guess I went a bit too far with the freedom.

I give a wry smile, thinking that I’m about to get an earful.

“Shalka de Ortenos has defeated the enemy general Barbato!”

“Whoa!”

The military officers cheered loudly.

Hmm, this is completely like a Sengoku warlord.

“Your Excellency… your orders.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

It’s like saying, “Speak of the devil.”

In front of us, there are still remnants of the Naia army centered around a thousand Satera-class satellites.

I can’t just become a fallen warrior and start committing acts of robbery around the border.

“Everyone, exterminate the remnants of Naia! Capture the commander and a few others who act so high and mighty alive!”

I amplified my voice and gave orders to the soldiers.

“Whoa!”

The Naia army, having lost their commander, is now nothing more than a rabble.

In front of the five hundred cavalrymen endowed with my “Magic Mantle,” they are as good as pieces of paper.

“Th-the Lord Barbato is…”

“Ugh! How dare you, Barbato-sama!”

“Run away!”

The morale of the remnants of the Naia army had collapsed.

I ponder for a moment while watching the military officers clash with the remnants of Naia.

“Somehow, I managed to achieve the goal.”

The one-on-one battle with Barbato was a series of unexpected events; although I didn’t struggle, there were several moments where I was slightly delayed.

It was tough for a first battle against the Stella-class, but that’s why it was a learning experience.

It might have been good that Barbato was the opponent I could kill without hesitation.

“Still, what was that final blow all about?”

When Barbato was approaching, I unleashed the technique in a state of complete absorption.

I never thought that a strike infused with magic like an idiot would actually be enough to snap a star tool in half.

In the first place, it’s a blunt weapon like a pipe, so how can it be considered a slashing attack?

“Another mystery has been added.”

The dazzling and fantastical magic that burst forth from the tip also feels like it clearly exists on a different level compared to the red of body enhancement magic or the colors of other elemental magic.

And then, Barbato’ final words.

“As I thought… it was a demon-slaying mage.”

Demon Slayer

Barbato was constantly concerned about my magical power.

It would be natural to consider matters related to it.

After all, I guess I have no choice but to learn about each one individually.

If no one knows, it might be worth checking at the academy.

More importantly…

“After all, a new technique needs a name, right?”

I need to come up with a cool name just for me, like “Intimidation Orb.”

Since I’m the only one using it in this world anyway, it might as well be something really embarrassing.

Star Cutter, Shiny Attack, Sparkle Blade, Annihilation Nebula Slash…

……No, wait.

Someday, if I have a son or daughter and pass down this technique as a secret tradition, I wonder what they will think of it.

Me: “My son, the time has finally come to teach you the Shiny Attack.”

Son: “…”

Isn’t that bad?

You can’t just give it a bad name like that.

My naming sense is extremely deadly.

At the stage of passing down the tradition, one has to say the technique’s name while blushing.

Well, jokes aside.

“Well, I guess it’s about time to face it. — I suppose I’ll start on my final task too.”

Out of the corner of my eye, I watch the military officers beat down the remnants of the Naia army, and I activate the “Detection Magic” once again.

I will launch a magic wave and identify the nearby magic users.

And indeed, there was still a Stella-class ship ten kilometers to the south.

“Still hanging around in a place like that, how leisurely.”

Let’s just call his existence “Stella Class A” already.

This time, thanks to Barbato’s valiant efforts, I ended up revealing some cards I didn’t need to show.

As long as the Stella-class A is an unknown entity, whether friend or foe, I am not so lenient as to let it run free like this.

I’m worried about grandfather too, but now that the possibility of Barbato heading to the Ronshanto Fortress has been eliminated, for the time being, it should end with the current standoff.

In other words, if we want to uncover the true identity of the Stella-class A star, now is the best time.

“Well, I guess I’ll have to work overtime for the first time in twelve years.”

I call my beloved horse with a whistle.

“Neigh”

“Easy now, I’ve got one more job for you, Dolly.”

I jump up and hop onto my beloved horse, Dolly.

Just as I was about to give Dory-chan instructions, Geraldo blocked my way.

“Your Excellency, where are you planning to go?”

In front of the Geraldo, which had red veins highlighted by “Demon Binding Doping” and looked like a demon, I broke out in a cold sweat.
