Chapter 370.2. I’ll Defeat Masatoshi

-Miu’s POV-
“Grr! What a heavy punch!”
“Not so fast, not so fast.”
Unable to endure the force of Miu’s punch, Masatoshi gets pushed back, his expression contorted in anguish. Since his defenses got breached, left-hand punch, then right punch!
“Oww, wait, wa-wait a moment!”
Ignoring the crossed arms, Miu punches over them without hesitation. Cracks appear on the magical armor’s gauntlets, and there’s a creaking sound from the arm bones.
“Wait. Listen to Mii-chan’s story. That Kanna Tsuki is the enemy, the mastermind deceiving everyone.”
Putting away her fist, Miu informs Masatoshi. She has learned about his power. Can this be resolved through conversation?
“No, she’s clearly being manipulated. Well, there’s no choice. I’ll stop you by force!”
Untangling his crossed arms, Masatoshi attempts a tackle, prompting Miu to sigh. Seems like he’s fixated on his ideas or, the original story.
Well, I don’t think he can get stopped.
“There!”
Spreading my arms wide, I puff out my chest. It’s clear from his actions and words. He’s not the one they’re dealing with.
“Huh? Uh, should I dodge or something?”
“Hugging would be cheating!”
Masatoshi, bewildered by the unexpected response, stops . So, Miu responds with an innocent smile.
“H-How unfair! If you stay calm like that…”
“If I touch Mii-chan’s chest, I won’t be able to do anything else?”
“W-Well, yeah…”
Blushing, Masatoshi steps back. Fighting against girls is impossible like this. Gotta treat everyone equally, regardless of gender.
He probably expected a cool battle scene, but unnecessary force is something she wants to avoid. Besides, 3 girls are aiming for Masatoshi waiting around. Quite popular.
“Ahahaha, an opening!”
With skin resembling keloids due to burns and a torn-up, bloodied appearance like a zombie, Kanna Tsuki stands up and approaches, waving her hands.
However, at this distance, it’s manageable. Miu has always been gauging the distance between Kanna Tsuki and Masatoshi. With the God Sword…
[Flash]
“What!?”
For some reason, Masatoshi’s body shines in gold, and a dazzling flash appears. Eyes burning, the vision whites out for just a moment.
Seriously? Can she control Masatoshi remotely?
“Got it!”
[Soul Steal]
Seizing that momentary opening, Kanna Tsuki thrusts her arm into Masatoshi’s back. There’s no resistance; Kanna Tsuki’s arm slips into Masatoshi’s body.
“Gwah! Wh-Why? Kanna Tsuki…?”
“Ahahaha, I knew I’d be the one to win in the end!”
Kanna Tsuki laughs in response to Masatoshi’s twisted expression, withdrawing her arm sneakily. Then, she pours new magic power into him.
“It’s time to finish this! Watch, you little brat!”
[Sacrifice]
“Gooooh!”
Masatoshi’s body changes from crimson to gold, swelling up.
“Masatoshi-san!”
With her vision restored, Sena screams at the sight of Masatoshi. Yamiyo and the others are also wide-eyed, wondering what just happened.
“Now, Reincarnator’s Soul. Become the key to opening the dimensions! The gate is open, and I shall regain my power! Ahahaha!”
[Dimensional Key]
“So, someone like me…”
With those words as his last, Masatoshi’s body turned into a pillar of light, ascending towards the heavens. It was the pitiful end of Masatoshi, the reincarnator who tried to bring me into this world.
The pillar of light rose steadily towards the sky, and its tip transformed into the shape of a key. Then, in the air, it slipped into the between dimensions, making a clicking sound.
“Open! Open the dimensional door!”
Cracks appeared in the world. The cracks spread, revealing a broken space with a glimpse of the void beyond. And beyond the void, the gray world became visible.
“[Nibelheim], the power left behind. My power, the god power of the goddess Helheim. Return to this body!”
In response to Kanna Tsuki’s shout, a vast miasma flowed through the cracks in dimensions from the gray world. The ominous purple miasma descended upon Kanna Tsuki, who spread her hands wide and laughed.
As if using a vacuum cleaner, Kanna Tsuki absorbed the miasma. The keloid-like scars from burns healed, and her skin returned to flawless, unblemished beauty. Her burnt hair became silky and beautiful, and the shattered magical armor transformed back into a sparkling golden armor.
After absorbing all the miasma, Kanna Tsuki cracked her neck, opening and closing her hands to confirm her power.
“It seems I’ve regained all my power. Pukukuku, Ahahaha. Just as planned. You didn’t expect the door to dimensions to be opened, did you? You didn’t expect to regain the goddess power, did you?”
Knowing that, I sigh internally, looking up at the sky. The void has expanded, and the door to dimensions is fully open. A cold wind blows, and ashes flutter down like snow.
I apologize for complaining about protagonists in novels and anime not defeating enemies before they revive or regain power. Some things can’t be prevented. I’ve become a bit wiser.
Having regained an immense god power, Kanna Tsuki looks relaxed. Well, that’s natural. If the power until a while ago was like a grain of sand, she now contains a power as vast as the ocean.
“You really made a mess of me. I’ll turn you into a soul and give you an eternity of torment! Ahahaha!”
[Soul Steal]
As Kanna Tsuki’s body vanishes, it somehow feels like I got pierced. It’s the power of the god realm. It’s a power of the gods that Miu’s level of power can’t counter. She has traveled through an unrecognizable world.
“This is the end! Ahahahaha!”
“Yeah… it’s the end.”
Kanna Tsuki. Indeed, it’s the end. What you say is correct.
With a cold smile, Miu tells Kanna Tsuki, whose body she has pierced.
