Chapter 300 Prophecy ③

Part 1

It must be destroyed. At its core, there was only one thing to do and it was to fulfill its mission.

It was conscious. And the memories of the time when it was once alive too. But it is like a stone on the roadside in front of the emotions that are so powerful that it made it become a phenomenon.

Only one thing matters. To fulfill the ancient duty of the Queen of Spirit People.

A great forest where Spirit People have lived since immemorial times. There, she protected her people from intruders who step into the forest without respect or faith, and repelled the humans.

It is undeniably a race for survival against mankind. If defeated, its species will perish or become human’s slaves. The great power of the Queen of Spirit People is to avoid this.

When it awoke after a long period of silence, it found itself in an incredibly huge city overflowing with hostile species. Huge houses lined the streets as far as the eye could see, and there were countless lives.

Even if their total number is ten times that of the Spirit People in the forest that it once ruled, they still won’t be able to reach its power.

However, no matter how powerful the opponents are, no matter how many they are, what it has to do does not change. Memories of the past have awakened, igniting the curse and its desire to kill.

In the course of the battle, many brethren fell, and many hostile species were brought down. Many tragedies have been born, many vows have been made.

Kill as many enemies as possible and save as many brethren as possible. Washing blood with blood, adding tragedies with even more tragedies. Fear begets fear, and resentment follows suit. As it has done repeatedly over the years. The luxury of being heartbroken by that fact no longer exists.

As usual, when it tried to wash away the city with resentment and murderous intent that could not be contained in its body, it suddenly regained its 『Consciousness』.

Normally, there is nothing better than the extermination of the hostile species that has killed countless of its brethren in their long history of warfare. But something very 『Irksome』 forced its thought back.

Tasting that for the first time, reason returns to its mind which had been devoted solely to destruction until now.

It returned back from its altered form to its original form in order to kill it with extreme precision, and what came into its eyes――Was the figure of an unremarkable man.

He is an unremarkable young man. His demeanor is far from that of a warrior, and normally, he was not the kind of opponent that it would look at consciously.

Normally it would trample him down like an insect and not even notice that it had crushed him. Even though he was supposed to be such an opponent――For some unknown reason, when it saw him, it felt irresistibly irritated.

A burning murderous intent was whispering deep inside it, to destroy him before anyone else.

Killing the young man in front of it is equivalent to the death of tens of hundred million people. Even though it should know that there was no logic behind it and that the priority should be to destroy the city――It couldn’t help but attack him.

No――this is, this emotion is, due to the ring’s power. The reason why he can stir up such emotions is due to the ring. A tool to control 『Curses』 that its companions once wore.

It doesn’t know how it was here, but it now knows why it felt like this. It fully understood. It understand now. It had figured it all out. It relieved it.

Its attack, unleashed on instinct, was repelled right in front of the young man’s eyes.

It understood. However――It doesn’t matter. It will not think about how to deal with it, hesitate, endure, or beat around the bush.

The young man runs away from it, who tries to attack him in rapid succession. The man, who was just being barely dragged by the strange carpet, was *burabura* dangling and *yurayura* swaying like bait.

The young man was *burabura* dangling from the carpet and moving away from it at high speed. Countless humans, beings to be killed, look up at him, seemingly completely unaware of the situation.

Fine. The destruction of this city will come later.

Reason was cursing itself. Aaah, how can this happen, Queen of Spirit People. How could the proud guardian of Spirit People be deceived by such a tool? And, even though it knows it all――This is just too foolish.

Its head *gangan* ached and the burning desire to kill transformed its body. And for the first time in a long time since it became a curse, it uttered in a language.

“Uuuuh………… I-I’l KiL U! YOu WoN’t gEt aWay! NeVer!” (Cursed Spirit People)

Tino’s spirit was already on the verge of collapse.? An unexpected and unreasonable event that occurs continuously is something that I will never get used to, no matter how much I grow through the 『Infinite Trials』.

That thing is without a doubt the worst Infinite Trials that anyone has ever gone through so far. I can’t even bring myself to face it, it’s a calamity.

No matter how strong they become, humans have their own limits. And that thing’s power easily exceeded that limit.

The terrifying yet beautiful appearance I saw at the end. Ears that are proof of being a Spirit People. That was probably the famous human killing curse created by the Queen of Spirit People.

Master~ would not impose a half-assed trial. At this moment, at that instant, Tino was clearly reminded of that.

I have been grabbed by his hand, protected from its attacks, and so on, but this time I didn’t have time to be happy about it. That didn’t even register in Tino’s mind. In other words, Tino will die even if a scratch hits me.

I grab the carpet with my right hand and hold Master’s~ hand with my left. My training paid off.

No――I’m sure he did that to verify my skills. There’s no way Master~ would jump off the Lounge without thinking, so he tried to see if Tino could properly catch the falling Master~. He is unmistakably a demon.

If I could afford it, I would be *shikushiku* weeping. But I couldn’t afford it, so I breathed desperately and beat my heart, which was about to stop.

The carpet flew high in the sky with ease, but I was not relieved at all. While *burabura* dangling around, Master~ called out to me from below. Right now, I hate a little bit his expression, which is always so reliable and relaxed.

“Tino, are you okay? I am not too heavy?” (Cry)

“Eh? What are you talking about… There is no way it will be heavy with just this, Master~!!” (Tino)

“Eh…… Ah…… Un, un, that’s right.” (Cry)

Tino is being trained by Onee-sama. If it’s Master’s~ weight, there’s plenty of room for ten more people. That’s why, no more trials, Master~……
