A boy who was disowned because he was second in everything, is unknowingly unmatched

Volume 21

Chapter 4-Things that collapse.

(TL:By Rafael)

"Kuha ha ha ha ha ha!" Disappointing!　　What a shambles! Even a Clefus is no match for the masterpiece I have created - a swordsman fused with a demon !"(Clado)

"Fuck.....!"(Aruna)

"Aruna!"(Lina)

　

　Cladio's loud laughter echoes.

　

　Aruna somehow managed to stand with his sword as support.

　

　In front of him was Erio, who had fused with a blackened demon, according to Cladio. Her arms hung slackly, and she did not hold her sword. The sword she now wields has no form.

　

　There is only one thing: ferocity.

　

　The slashes that are unleashed by her movements and power beyond human limits are clearly draining Aruna's stamina as she continues to fight. In addition, the boy knight was wounded.

　

　Cladio knows that.

　

　He knows that, and he is amused by Aruna's suffering.

"Stay back, little girl. It's not safe to get too close."(Aruna)

"But if I don't, Aruna will ......!"(Lina)

　

　Aruna answers Lina's cry by breathing on her shoulder.

　

　His vision was now blurred, probably due to the lack of oxygen. Even so, he cannot run away. --No, he will not run away.

　

　This match was something special for him, too.

"Hey, Erio ......? You must have really suffered."(Aruna)

".................."(Erio)

　

　The feeling comes out of his mouth.

" After our duel I was sent to the frontier for no reason, and I don't know what happened to me there but I honed my spirit to it's  limit."(Aruna)

　

　He grips the hilt of his sword.

"You've been also holding back all this time, haven't you?All these years, you've regretted it, haven't you?--It was really painful, wasn't it? It was sad, wasn't it? Weren't you also anxious but you don't have to regret it anymore . ......"(Aruna)

　

　Aruna readied his sword.

　

　Then he smiled a small, boyish smile.

"So let's get this over with, right here ......!"(Aruna)

　

　At that moment.

　

　Aruna leapt to his feet and slashed at Erio.

　

　In the blink of an eye. He was so fast that no one could follow him with their eyes, and he was right on top of her.

　

　However--.

"Aaaaaaaaah!"(Erio)

"Gah!"(Aruna)

　

　It was as if she had read even that movement.

　

　Erio violently reaped Aruna's body. Fortunately, he caught the blow with his sword, so the boy only hit the floor hard. Still, the damage was considerable. Aruna stood up unsteadily and slowly readied his sword.

"Again, once again ......"(Aruna)

　

　Then he utters something like a gibberish.

　

　His voice was so small that it melted into the air before it became a sound.

'Erio, how long do you plan on playing like this?"(Cladio)

".................."(Erio)

　

　Someone interrupted their fight.

　

　Needless to say, that person was Cladio Ledin.

　

　He looked at his daughter, who did not attack the boy, and said with blatant anger.

"It's time to finally fulfill your long-held grudge, Make it quick!"(Cladio)

　

　"Kill them mercilessly,"(Cladio)

　

　Erio's shoulders bounce at these words.

　

　She snarls with her head in her hands, and then she readies her sword. And then--.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"(Erio)

Screaming, she approached Aruna, who was standing with the supportof the sword.

"Erio-San!"(Lina)

　

　But then.

　

　Lina finally lost her patience.

"Little girl."(Aruna)

　

　She threw himself between them.

　

　And Erio's sword--

"Doomed ......?"(Cleo)

"Yes, he is"(Krim)

　

　Krim chuckled and nodded in response to my question.

　

　Then, with an extremely amused look on her face, she continued.

"That human being is at his limits.Even to me, a demon, he is hideous and horrifying. But at the same time, he is childish and cannot control his emotions."(Krim)

"............"(Cleo)

"So, if you get a power you can't control - it will collapse."(Krim)

　

　Then she threw his gaze toward the mansion.

"It looks like we're about to see some action."(Krim)

"You--"(Cleo)

"What is it?"(Krim)

　

　Then she tries to proceed with the story.

　

　But I asked her, 

"Why are you doing this? Whose side are you on? --And...."(Cleo)

　

　Then, after a moment of a straight face.

　

　Krim smiled wickedly and replied.

"I don't take sides with humans. My true master is--"(Krim)

　

　Quietly, just like the silence in a empty room 

"Only He, who was swallowed up by the darkness through the foolishness of man."(Krim)

TL Note- Who do you think is the master and the real mastermind behind everything
