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 - 145

145 Who are you?

It had been two minutes since Weiss, Allen, and Sophia entered the barrier.

Nearby were Cynthia, Lilith, Meril, Berk, Karta, Duke, Olin, Tula, and those who rushed in: Milch, Eva, Eleanor, Sierra.

Coco had her palms against the barrier, eyes closed. Despite Cynthia and the others launching simultaneous attacks, it had no effect.

Placing their last hope on Coco, he shook his head quietly.

“This barrier… exceeds the level humanity can reach.”

“S-So, Weiss and the others are probably inside, right!? Coco, please, do something, Sensei!?”

Cynthia panicked in a way different from usual, but Coco could only answer with a sad expression. Milch supplemented with ruthless information.

“The man named King, who fought against me, also disappeared. Probably inside.”

“…And Nell too.”

Further despair enveloped everyone with Eva’s words. However, with Coco’s statement, the expressions of everyone changed slightly.

“But, it’s already starting to collapse. It probably won’t last more than five minutes. If that time passes, the barrier should crumble. Combining it with Cynthia’s story, there are three minutes left. If it’s not lifted, it means they’re still alive.”

“Three more minutes…”

At Cynthia’s words, Duke angrily continued to punch the barrier.

“Damn, damn, damn it all!!”

Incredible power, but it didn’t flinch.

Lilith stopped him.

“Weiss-sama, Allen-san, surely, they’ll be okay. Let’s believe.”

“……Allen, are you alive?”

“Yeah…”

Two minutes had passed inside the barrier, and our bodies had already exceeded their limits.

Thanks to the impulse of the urge to destroy the healing protection, Princess Sophia was still covered in a defense shield strong enough to survive.

But we were bleeding, bones shattered, and we were doing our best to defend against attacks with all our magical power.

Knowing the original work, I understand that we should have exerted more power than the final stage.

Magical power did not blend well, and my lungs screamed with every breath.

“It’s amazing. To last two minutes.”

“Yeah… amazing. Nell, didn’t you go easy on us?”

“I didn’t. But isn’t it as the Demon Lord said?”

The demons were already looking at us with a relaxed expression.

Especially Nell, who looked like Eva, had incredible techniques.

King was the same, too powerful.

Sulth probably lost magical power inside the barrier.

However, Beefa and Lakom were formidable opponents as well.

And Nell, as if to deliver the finishing blow, unleashed countless magic from her numerous hands.

Even though Allen and I chanted defenses, it pierced through, and Sophia’s shield disappeared.

The next attack might be unstoppable.

But…

“Allen, don’t forget that moment.”

“Yeah, we can do it.”

Our eyes were not dead.

Certainly, there were allies outside. Even if we were attacked, on the verge of death, without limbs, as long as Coco and Cynthia were there, we should survive.

“Hehe, it’s interesting.”

Nell, like Eva, smiled.

Allen and I, with our remaining strength, raised our swords.

However, at that moment, Sophia raised her voice.

“Please, I have a favor. I will commit suicide here from now on. As compensation for this spectacle, please let these two go… Please ignore them.”

Whether surprised or not, the demons looked at each other. Then Nell spoke.

“You say interesting things. If you have that determination, I might grant your wish.”

Looking back, Sophia had her hand on her own heart.

“Hey, what are you doing?”

The magic covering her body is almost zero. She poured all her magical power into her hands.

“Weiss, and Allen, thank you very much until the end. I’m glad I could meet you two until now. I’m sorry for everything you’ve done for me.”

“Hey, stop it!”

“That’s right! Don’t give up until the end!”

However, without waiting for our reply, Sophia released her magic—

“What are you doing, Weiss…”

“…We can change the future. Don’t give up until the end!!!”

But I was running with all my might.

I slipped the Unnatural Wall into the gap, barely blocking it.

“――Boring.”

At that moment, Nell seized the opportunity and launched an attack. No, it wasn’t just her. Everyone present did.

With two minutes remaining, there was no way to defend against this attack. Allen also instinctively stepped forward, but it was impossible.

Yet, I followed suit.

If there was even a slight chance for Sophia to survive.

“――Weiss, you too.”

“Don’t try to act cool, you protagonist guy.”

But don’t give up until the end. Gather every ounce of magic.

Until the very end――.

At that moment, my heart made a thumping sound.

A sensation I felt for the first time, but it felt strangely nostalgic.

Simultaneously, a voice could be heard.

A voice for the first time. But it was my voice.

“Well, you did quite well.”

“He finally shows up now――.”

“What took you so long?”

“I came because of that.”

“Do something about it, Weiss…”

“It’s your story, isn’t it?”

“You started it on your own, didn’t you?”

“Well, I’ve been shown a lot of interesting things.”

◇

A thunderous roar, an explosion echoed.

I had resigned myself to death. But I soon realized I was alive.

Something strange was happening.

My body was covered with a defense shield like I had never seen before.

It was too meticulous, with no seams.

What is this? Who is it, Coco-sensei?

But standing in front of me was Weiss.

“――Hey. It’s been a while. You’re still making that irritating face.”

“…Weiss?”

“What the hell is going on? Well, don’t worry about it. Just watch. But don’t tell him from here on. It’s for the sake of the future.”

At that moment, Weiss―― disappeared.

No, that’s not right. He moved at a speed I had never seen before.

Looking up, he had moved right into the midst of the demons.

Unbelievable, why, how.

“I don’t know some people here. Well, you won’t remember anyway.”

“――Kill him!”

Nell shouted, and the demons followed with attacks, but Weiss moved at an incredible speed.

Avoiding attacks and using defensive magic when the demons cast spells.

With the remaining magical power, he chanted advanced magic that could be activated even with limited magical power.

Why, how could he do such a thing?

“What’s wrong? You guys are quite slow.”

Then Weiss continued to swing his sword at close range, inviting friendly fire. The demons were desperate with evasion and defense.

Undoubtedly surpassing even Senior Eva and Professor Milch.

Why does he move like that?

“Amazing…”

Princess Sophia murmured unintentionally.

But Nell’s attack came back towards us.

Instinctively preparing for it, Weiss returned, and with his sword, he cut through the magic.

“Weiss, why do you have such power?”

“Heh, it’s been a while since I’ve been praised. ――Now, can you do it well?”

Then Weiss enveloped his whole body in a dark aura.

Next, with his right leg, he deployed healing protection and the urge to destroy. Then, with his left leg, he deployed a magic circle I had never seen before.

At that moment, more than thirty demon-like entities appeared from all four sides of the barrier.

The demons realized it and prepared themselves in confusion.

“Hey Nell, what’s this?”

“…This is not very amusing.”

Different from Devi. They looked more ominous. Moreover, their magical power was even greater.

When… did he summon them!?

“Who are you?”

“Me? I’m Weiss… Fancent…”
