The Second Son of The Marquis Runs Away from Home ~ Lacking Talent, He Abandons Everything and Becomes an Adventurer ~ - 192

Chapter 192: A Slight Opening

“The summoning magic has been activated…”

Breathing heavily, both of us observed the situation. Lowd murmured as he looked up at the tower. Thoughts about Aria’s safety and various other things crossed my mind, but I couldn’t afford to make any careless moves in front of Lowd, so I remained vigilant when…

Fifth, shrouded in shadows, attacked Lowd from behind. Without turning around, Lowd pierced Fifth with the sword he held in reverse grip.

“Are you intending to interfere, Fifth?”

“No… I only judged it to be the right timing.”

“I see. Die.”

The sword, stuck in Fifth in a manner that lifted her up, emitted a beam of light. Fifth’s body, with a gaping hole in her chest, floated in the air.

Then, as if exploding, shadows erupted from her body and headed towards Lowd.

“What!?”

The shadows infiltrated Lowd through the gaps in his armor. As the shadows invaded Lowd, Fifth’s voice echoed.

“Normally, even with my power, I wouldn’t be able to take over your body. However, now that you’ve exhausted yourself fighting him, someone who rivals you… for a few minutes, I can take over your body.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a beam of light emitted from her left hand destroyed the ring. Despite being thrown into the air and expelled into the sky by the rising dust, I spread my wings to regain my balance. Fifth, who had possessed Lowd, flew towards the tower.

“Damn it!?”

Hastily following her, Fifth, who had sat on the throne, struck the floor with a black staff, and then the entire tower was engulfed in light.

“Ugh…”

The light formed a barrier and repelled me. It seemed like it would take considerable time to break through its strength.

“Berg!”

“Aria, are you okay?”

“Yes, but…”

Just as I reunited with Aria and the others flying towards us, the light intensified.

A complex magic circle resembling a gate appeared directly above the tower. Amidst the blinding light that made it impossible to look directly at it, Fifth’s voice echoed.

“Everything is in place. Now, I shall return from the uncertain shadow to the absolute light! And this time, I shall devour the world!”

The tower collapsed and spiraled like a tornado. As the monsters inside the tower fell, the tower itself transformed into something else.

At first glance, it appeared to be a gigantic statue of an angel. However, what appeared to be wings were a pair of crocodile-like jaws, and its white armor-like body had various mouths and jaws of different creatures all over, on its arms, legs, abdomen, and chest.

Above the tooth-lined head, a halo-like light appeared. The grotesque form and the unleashed power conveyed a sense of pressure I had never experienced before, helping me understand what kind of being this was.

“Now, let me proclaim my name! I am the one who illuminates and devours all living beings! I am the true name of Il Eater!”

White destruction… what stood before us was indeed that.
