117 – Symbol of Peace (14)
Orange Altair did not understand the term immortal monster, but the question was answered in a few minutes.
“Vega!”
“Okay!”
Red Vega released fire in response to Orange Altair’s signal. Arrows flew along the path along which the flames traveled.
The two magics flew straight without any disturbance and shook a monster.
It was a monster with a unique appearance that seemed to have been made by removing part of a ship and chopping it up, and with a cape resembling a sail waving on its back.
An arrow wounded his shoulder and fire warmed his body. The arrow’s damage was small, but the fire was different. The monster’s entire body flowed down like a snowman welcoming spring.
“Now, quickly. “It’s bouncing!!!”
But they ran away without even looking back. It was an attack that caused quite a bit of damage, but they had no intention of continuing this battle any further.
The reason was simple. That blow will soon be useless.
Orange Altair ran away and turned around a moment later to check the monster’s condition.
“Huh…hehehe.”
He shook off the flames with an eerie smile. His hideously melted whole body was truly impressive.
Soon the dissolved wound area began to heal again. Beyond regeneration, it felt like I had turned back time. It was an appearance that suited the term immortality very well.
“What is that!”
“Right?! It stands out, right?”
A fraudulent recovery ability that is close to that of the Shield Monster. From what I heard, Blue Sirius quickly returned to its original state even though its entire body was buried in ice.
The magic girls seemed to be in good spirits even when they had used up almost all of their magic power, probably due to the low consumption of starlight.
“The wind is blowing! Avoid yoyo clothes! “Kwaak!”
White Davih’s body was swept away by the wind, as if his screams were drowned out by the sound of the strong wind. Soon, numerous scars were engraved on her body as if she had been cut by her blade.
Countless starlight gathers again in the hands of the monster. Without any delay, the vicious wind blew again.
“Dabih!”
“Ji, Jiknyeo!”
Red Vega immediately ran out, spouting flames, wrapped White Davih in his arms, and then quickly ran away.
There was no reason to throw away her Orange Altair on her plate, which had already wasted her magic power, so she picked her up and flew over her.
“Me, me too?!”
“You should use what you already spent frugally!”
“Jiknyeo, here we come again!”
“I understand… Yo!”
From noble mtl dot com
The wind blew again from behind. Even though it was still far away, the flames were constantly swaying under the influence of the wind. Literally a candle in the wind. Red Vega launched her body even faster.
“Why is this place so big?!”
“That’s right! “It’s really strange here!”
It’s unfair that such a monster is roaming around, but even the structure of the building makes the situation worse. The interior size gets bigger as you go up the floor, and there are strangely many alleyways. I can’t even see where the stairs are.
It is closer to a maze than a building.
There is another problem there.
“Hey, stop! “Don’t disturb my brother!”
“You guys, stop! “Don’t come in front…”
“Hey!”
White Davich swung her horn at a person suddenly approaching in the alley. With a cool hitting sound, the gunman rolled back into the alley. Thanks to this, he was able to survive the tornados of the wind.
“W-what are you doing?! “If you get hurt like that…”
“Even if you try, your face will collapse! “Isn’t it better than dying!”
Orange Altair couldn’t understand at first. Why do humans take the side of monsters?
“Why do people side with monsters…?”
“Could it be that your family is being held hostage? Those monster bastards are probably threatening their parents! “There is no such thing as a filial child!”
White Dabikh was indignant. She was being sarcastic, saying that she didn’t make sense otherwise.
Threat. Of course, it is an effective means. But their attitude was too proactive.
“Gye, stairs! “Over there!”
“Okay, it was good! Then let’s go up now~!”
When the stairs finally came into view, Red Vega actively exploded fireworks beneath his feet. Accelerating the body at a speed that felt like a fighter jet flying, the three went up.
I went up about three floors through the stairs. Perhaps this was the limit, but the stairs were cut off and did not lead to any further floors.
Red Vega, which was accelerating quickly, was forced to turn towards the inside of the floor, causing it to collide with the wall directly in front of it.
“…Ugh!”
“Drive carefully….”
Although there was a crack in the wall, the strong body typical of a magical girl was quite intact. I stroked her sore head and looked ahead.
Kwakwang! Kugoogung! The stairs that were there just a moment ago were torn apart by the wind and collapsed.
What would have happened if the escape had been a little late? Orange Altair trembled at the sight, which was terrifying to even imagine.
“…Okay, it’s over.”
With the uniqueness of being immortal, it has the attack power to destroy a building with just a light blow of wind. Even if he only has one, he is a difficult opponent, but he has two at the same time.
“Sister Altair?”
“I’m sure there aren’t just one or two guys like that here….”
If we assume that that monster is an executive of the Argo Family, it means that there are more monsters of that level in this place.
Furthermore, what I saw while coming here. A monster that might be human.
“If there are more people like that… It’s the end for magical girls.”

“You’re weak.”
As soon as he reached the top floor, he laughed, pressing down on the head of the third person who rushed at him. As expected, the second guy was unusual.
As Jason said, they entered the building. Since it was a space that would disappear on its own if you just cut the head of the enemy, I headed toward the top floor without hesitation.
There were some interruptions here and there, but they didn’t cause any delay. It only took a few minutes to reach this place.
“Ah, no, this is too severe….”
“What’s so serious?”
“Run away, brother! “I’ll hold on here…”
“You can’t even survive a single thing, but you have a great mouth.”
I picked up an ax as tall as I was and threw it forward. The ax flew like a whirlwind, barely grazing his cheek and sticking into the wall.
The top floor of a bleak asphalt building. The center. The monster, leaning on a striking red single-seater sofa, was pouring a bottle of high-quality whiskey from an unknown source into his mouth.
After the whiskey bottle was empty, he checked behind him and looked at the ax thrown at him.
“Oh, you’re scared.”
He muttered sarcastically and leaned back on the soft sofa.
“No, the youngest. You can’t betray yourself like that. The same goes for you, the third one. Why are you being so helpless? “Aren’t you going to come to your senses?”
“I will correct the situation!”
“I just did the right thing!”
He is the leader of the Argo family and the owner of this island. It was Carina September.
“It seems like my youngest and I have slightly different perspectives. Actually, there was no detailed discussion during the recruitment process. Let’s talk about it in depth later… But there you are. What are you so dissatisfied with? “I believe you saved my life before.”
“Does it look like there are no complaints? Moreover, that grace was not from you, but from this poor bastard. “If you make a mistake, you’ll be in trouble.”
“Mr. Ha… That is correct.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than September threw the whiskey bottle.
“A slap in the face.”
His hand, which threw the bottle, was soon transformed into a cannon. Gunpowder exploded from that ugly piece of iron without any delay.
A crude cannonball flew out, shattering the glass bottle, and the fragments scattered like a shotgun, hitting my body. I took all the fragments into my body without retreating at all.
There was only a slight scratch and no other damage.
“Oh? hahahaha! Gang is amazing. Oh, I admit it. “It’s recognition.”
Making a fuss over something that was nothing special made me want to cut off his mouth with an axe. There is no use in getting recognition from a guy who kidnaps people and forces them to work.
September erased his smile for a moment and looked at me quietly.
He did not feel the slightest sense of crisis or desire to win. The only feeling of boredom in his eyes was as if he were cleaning up laundry that was hanging around the house. He had the same attitude when doing something that was bothersome but could not be put off.
“Tsk tsk.”
He groaned with difficulty, put the cannon back, and got up from the chair.
“Our youngest and third. And our brothers in the back.”
Many of the humans gathered behind bowed their heads. That was the biggest problem right now.
Human.
He was also a human who sided with the monster and received some of the starlight.
A human being who cannot produce the strength of a low-level monster, but is stronger than an ordinary person.
“How many of you are not here right now?”
“About… about 15 people.”
“Gurakane. “Say it properly.”
“…About twenty people.”
“Hey, did you screw up twice? “You guys came back later.”
I debated whether to kill him or not, but in the end I couldn’t. Of course, there were no restrictions on killing humans in my mission, but there were still ethical limits to me.
[In my personal opinion, I recommend handling it. That kind of person only looks different, but is not fundamentally different from a monster…]
“Guys.”
The nonsense that Belt was talking about was cut off by September.
“I think it’s time to leave this city.”
At those words, the third child, November, who was under his feet, got angry and flinched.
“What do you mean, brother! “If you were my brother, you wouldn’t make such a cowardly statement…”
“It’s noisy.”
“Yes, that guy is right. It’s so f*cking loud. “If he gets hit, the best thing to do is just keep quiet.”
September sighed and scratched his head.
“I am? It wasn’t like this when I was in America. I know. But you came here and gained influence. Then there is nothing I can do. Isn’t that right, third one?”
He was pointing at November, then raised his thumb and pointed at the group of humans gathered behind him.
“If we fight here, all these friends will be left behind. They are precious colleagues who I haven’t even been able to teach everything I need to teach them yet. Huh? Without loyalty? Huh? That won’t work. “Once you accept someone, don’t you have to take responsibility and protect their life?”
It was a truly amazing meeting. Rather than freeing those who did not follow my will, they turned them into slaves and forced them to work, and even took away those who followed my will and made such pretentious remarks.
Do you mean that even monsters are loyal to each other? If they are together, do they even care about humans?
Of course it’s bullsh*t. Even a guy like me who says such touching things will abandon them without hesitation when the time comes.
“Woah, are you listening to us, brother?”
“Then of course. “Did you see me say two things with one mouth?”
“I f*cking saw it!”
“I saw it well, then.”
After hearing Jason’s honest answer, September nodded and smiled.
A cannon appeared in his beckoning hand, and he aimed it at the sky and fired. Pop! His shout echoed through the building along with a huge gunshot.
“Brothers, what is our purpose?”
-Fight against a strong enemy and win! Challenge! Victory! Get it!
The men’s voices gathered together and rang out loud enough to drown out even the gunshots. It reminded me of my time in the military and I felt really bad.
“That’s right. Well said.”
September approached my ax stuck in the wall.
“Hey bro. We’re not doing anything particularly bad either. Do you know what the kids gathered here are doing? These poor kids starved to death because they couldn’t get a job and didn’t have money. Plus, it was an area where monsters were not to be seen, so even my life was at risk. Hey. “How much is too much?”
Cluddeuk. After forcefully pulling out the deeply embedded ax, he raised it.
“Huh? It’s hard to live, but you never know when you might be wronged. So these friends came to me. Let’s take on the challenge of leaving behind like a loser. Do you run away from the monster and then fight it? Of course the latter is worth it, right?”
And then he swung it as if he was going to chop firewood. Bang! An impact sound bigger than a gunshot moved the floor.
“I just gave you a chance. “These are smart friends who took that opportunity.”
-Yes, that’s right!
-That’s right! That’s right!
-I don’t know when I’ll run out, so I’ll just run straight into the bar and kill myself!
It was a truly impressive speech. Except that these are the words of an asshole who abuses other people who don’t take that opportunity.
“Our ultimate goal is to catch the three great beasts. “The lion, the serpentine, and the scorpion.”
Three Great Beasts.
This refers to three monsters who control the power of the galaxy.
I guess it wasn’t a lie to say that I was chasing a strong opponent.
“What a wonderful goal! Therefore. We can’t lose our precious colleagues here. So, I’ll step aside this time. “We have to protect our children.”
September lifted the ax again and threw it in this direction. I caught it. As soon as the sharp flying ax touched my hand, it became quiet like a well-behaved puppy. I put the ax on his shoulder and studied him with interest to see what bullsh*t he was going to do next.
“We have already recruited enough people in this city. A crazy guy like you is trying to kill our kids, so I have to leave. Mr. Ha. If it were like the old days, it would have stuck.”
At the same time as those words were said, an earthquake began to occur throughout the building. No, it was more like a cornerstone of collapse than an earthquake. With the shaking, the outlines of him and the people behind him began to blur.
“So I’m going.”
“Now, wait a minute, brother! “What about the slaves?”
“What? Why do I have to manage such things? You take care of it yourself and come out. And third you! “It’s a punishment for not being able to hit even a single blow.”
In other words, only those who escaped from this island. I immediately threw the ax. It passed him in vain and hit the wall.
“Take care of your brother and come back. Understand?”
“Tongue, brother! For a moment!”
His appearance completely disappears.
The building collapsed.
