The Second Son of The Marquis Runs Away from Home ~ Lacking Talent, He Abandons Everything and Becomes an Adventurer ~ - 195

Chapter 195: Scene of the End (Aria Side)

It appeared not only on the Grucio Continent but also on the Hume Continent.

A colossal pillar of light pierced the sky; people looked up at it as it emerged in the land where the Milldrea Empire, the Kingdom of Berga, and others gathered.

Like a surge from the pillar of light, the apostles of the Ill-Eater manifested. On the ground, beings of various forms like beasts and humanoids trod the earth, while in the sky, those with wings covered the airspace.

What they all had in common was that they seemed to be composed of solidified white light, like white shadows.

The apostles advanced from the ground and the sky towards the places where people gathered, aiming to take lives.

—

“That’s…”

The white shadowy monsters emerging from the pillar piercing through the area of light flew to cover the sky… and some of them caught sight of us and approached.

We intercepted the angel-like beings that attacked. Dodging their swinging spears, we sliced through them as they passed by, dispersing into particles of light.

Cooperating, we continued to defeat the successive monsters attacking us. We muttered to each other while back-to-back.

“What are these things?”

“They’re the apostles of the Ill-Eater. Presumably created to retrieve lives outside the area.”

“…So their aim is people all over the world?”

We mowed down the monsters approaching with fiery slashes. What Ruskdite said must be conveyed to my sister and the other countries immediately.

“We have to find a way to tell them…”

“How? These things are probably faster than us even if we spread out.”

Shurin replied while shooting down the monsters one after another. Since most of them had already flown towards the direction of the city, even if we tried to return at full speed, we would be detained like this.

Moreover, the distance back was too far. And there was no assurance that the pillar was only here. If we were to convey the message, it had to reach not just one city but the entire world.

…There was only one way, but it would likely fail, and furthermore, we didn’t have time to do it.

Amidst the escalating urgency, it came—the light dragon approached us…

“Get out of the way, you fools! Don’t interfere with my landing!”

A black, gigantic shadow pushed the dragon aside from the side. It crushed the fallen dragon underfoot and blasted its head into smithereens with its arm cannon.

“Hey! Just when the tower collapsed, this happens! There’s no time to relax!”

“Blast Pain! Are you okay!?”

Blast Pain, covered in multiple armors and emitting flames from its back, appeared. Although surprised by the unexpected presence, I immediately came up with an idea.

“Blast Pain, lend us your strength!”

“What?”

“Otherwise, people all over the world will become the prey of the Ill-Eater! We have to inform them as soon as possible! Just protect us for five minutes!”

I conveyed my request as concisely as possible. After a moment of silence, Blast Pain transformed its staff into an axe and turned its back.

“My body won’t last long either! Hurry!”

“…Thank you!”

While Blast Pain dealt with the monsters, I called Serena and Shurin. We had no choice but to do it, even though it was a gamble.

“Aria, what are you going to do?”

“I’ll use this.”

Saying so, I took out the communication crystal handed to me by Sister Phyllia.
