I Have been Reincarnated As a Lazy, Arrogant Noble, but When I Destroyed The Scenario Through Effort, I Became The Most Powerful With Extraordinary Magical Power - 124.2

124 True Power

Yuni gives me an electric shock.

“Huh? What’s going on?”

Then, my speed multiplied several times.

Yuni is my support.

Controlling requires understanding the feelings of magical beings. I couldn’t do that.

Because I just couldn’t come to like magical beings.

But Yuni was a peaceful magical being.

And it became attached to me.

Without sending signals directly from the brain, Yuni assists my body.

No need to think, just move.

“How dare you take someone’s life.”

“Tch.”

Beltony’s expression considerably darkens.

I just need to keep attacking. If only I had my right arm, I could have cornered him more—well, complaining won’t help.

Continuing to deliver attacks that defenses can’t keep up with.

The sound of breaking glass echoes.

If only I had my right arm, I could have done more—no, complaining won’t help.

But if I buy time, it won’t be just me.

Duke and the others will come back and join the attack.

It seems Beltony is also running out of patience.

Kill Cecil? No way—won’t allow it.

You—the demon race—I’ll—kill you.

“Enough already! I declare—”

“Don’t let him!”

“What the—”

But the next moment, my movements stop.

Furthermore, Beltony envelops himself in pitch-black magic.

Moving at multiple times the speed—first, he blows away Duke.

A dull sound, like ribs breaking, echoes.

Next, Shari, Lillith, and—.

“Ice Wall!”

“Hah, that won’t help.”

Even Cynthia is blown away extensively.

Finally, he targets me.

Layering defense shields, defending with the Unnatural wall.

But—.

One by one, swords pierce through, destroying them.

“Well done for a bunch of small fry.”

“Guha—”

The black sword pierces through the defense, and its tip stabs into my abdomen.

I fall to the ground, holding my sides.

At the same time, the ice on my right arm begins to melt.

“Ha. No need for declarations. Humans believe in what they see.”

Beltony seems to have stepped on my shadow, pushing it in.

This is—his true ability.

“It wasn’t planned, you know? The blood boiling thing? Well, it’s about time to finish.”

“Cecil-san…!”

“…Everyone, run. Run.”

He approaches slowly. But at that moment, traps spring on Beltony.

Shari’s traps. Magic Rest and Mud, reinforced multiple times with magic threads, were endowed with various attribute magics.

“Hey, what’s this? Damn, it’s not working!”

“Now… let’s all escape.”

“Damn…”

Duke struggles to stand, carrying Shari.

And tries to grab Cecil-san—but.

“Hah, not gonna let you.”

Beltony—touched Cecil-san’s shadow.

The sunset had spread unnoticed, expanding the range of shadows.

So, that’s why he chose this time.

“I’ll kill all of you. And then, it’s game over… right?”

Cynthia releases an ice spear, but it’s deflected by the inviolable territory barrier.

In the midst of the recent attack and defense, and with the loss of my right hand, magical energy leakage intensifies, and my power doesn’t shape well.

“Don’t have… ”

With Shari’s strained voice, I sense Beltony’s traps being deflected.

It’s only a matter of time.

And—.

“Duke-kun, leave me behind and carry everyone to escape. Hurry!”

“What are you saying, Cecil…?”

“I can only rely on you. Only you—can take action.”

Cecil-san said something outrageous.

Duke, carrying Shari, stops. Blood flows from his right leg.

“You can’t do something like that!”

I strain my voice, but Beltony shouts, drowning out that voice.

“Hah, interesting. Will everyone die? Or will one person die?”

“Duke-kun, please. Hurry, quickly… This way, everyone will die.”

“…Damn! Damn it all!”

Then Duke grabs Cynthia.

“N-No, this won’t do. Cecil-san said—”

But Duke ignores her. Then, he approaches me.

“Stop it, Duke.”

“…Shut up! That Cecil said it. I trust my comrades… We can’t win.”

Duke grabs me and lifts me.

Blood flows even more from his right leg. He’s using his last strength.

“Stop it, stop it, Duke…”

However, Duke makes a hoarse voice.

He doesn’t move, just staring at one point.

“Hey… What are you doing? Let’s go!”

But there’s a woman standing there as if to protect Cecil-san.

“…I won’t go. I won’t abandon Cecil-san.”

“Lillith-san, quickly run… Forget about me.”

“I—will absolutely not run away.”

Lillith-san’s expression is filled with an unprecedented murderous intent and magic.

And, Beltony lets out a sluggish voice.

“Hah, boring. I thought of killing you when you tried to escape.”

The next moment, he surges magic power to the maximum and releases all the traps.

“Lillith!”

“Lillith-san!”

However, Lillith-san doesn’t move from her spot.

—At that moment, I realized it. The overflowing magical power and murderous intent are something extraordinary.

At the same time, I remember.

During the Estarm summer break, what Zebis-san had said.

“Is Lillith-san not showing her true strength?”

“She’s too kind. Unconsciously, she holds back. Especially since meeting Lord Weiss has changed her.”

“But she’s still plenty strong.”

“I think she’s probably not using half of her power. However, if there’s a danger to someone she loves, she’ll surely understand—”

At that time, I didn’t understand. Lillith-san was strong enough.

But, her magical power in front of me, no, her behavior is completely different from before.

“First, it’s your turn.――Jaaau, aaahhhhh!”

The next moment, Beltony’s right arm suddenly burst.

The one who did that—was Lillith-san.
