Overlimit Skill Holder (Web Novel JP)

Vol 5: Chapter 25

The tail was deflected away by a huge explosion. Flames scattered everywhere.

End Fang was still rampaging, and the ground shook.

「You!?」

Grenjido-sama seemed to have noticed me right away.

「Your Excellency, please forgive me for leaving without expressing my gratitude.」

There was no time to renew any old relationship—No, well, I don’t know if you can even call it an old relationship, that is.

「UOOOOOO!」

I stepped firmly on the ground and started running. I jumped, and used magic to fly to the sky.

「——He’s flying!?」

「——How can a human fly?」

「——I’ve heard stories about people flying with magic.」

「——Maybe it’s a magic tool?」

I heard the astonishment of the soldiers and knights.

「End Fang! Please stop this already! If this continues, both sides will suffer great damage! That is exactly what the Vision Ogre wants!」

End Fang, whose eyes were clouded by anger, tried to hit me with a roar.

I had already analyzed with【World Ruler】that the roar contained mana. I fired【Wind Magic】to disperse the roar, causing a shock wave. My body soared higher in reaction.

「Kuh!」

I noticed that End Fang’s mana armor was up again.

「Everyone, please step back! End Fang is already enveloped with mana!」

I thought we could win if we all charged in, but with End Fang’s mana armor restored, the situation reversed in the blink of an eye. There doesn’t seem to be any more additional airships. If we continue to fight, most of the people here will die.

Then, the tall knight who cut off End Fang’s forefoot shouted.

「What are you trying to do!!」

Wow! I’m about 100 meters high, but I can hear his voice clearly.

I also shouted back with【Wind Magic】.

「I am trying to convince End Fang!」

「Can you do it!!」

「I’ll try!!」

Then, the knight stepped back with the knights of the Saint Knight Kingdom, who seemed to be his subordinates. Grenjido-sama also stepped back with the Holy King’s Knights Order and the soldiers of Keith Gran Federation also responded in accordance.

I used magic to raise the air resistance around me and slowly descend –【Wind Magic】has been super helpful in this battle. I thought it was a magic that had no killing ability, but it has such a varied use of application.

I descended and landed right in front of End Fang.

「End Fang, can you hear me? It saddens me to fight against you.」

『…………』

「A lot of my friends were hurt, and many lost their lives. You also lost your forefoot. No one benefits in continuing this fight any longer. It will only please the Vision Ogre.」

『…Vi, Vision Ogre…』

End Fang’s anger had not subsided, but I felt that it was gradually being directed towards the Vision Ogre.

「Please, can you stop the fight? I want you to return to your world. Then I will close that crack in the sky – the Red Gate.」

『…Little one, what can you do? ……No, you are… I see…』

Maybe End Fang felt something. Was it because I have【World Ruler】? Or because of【World Alliance】in my waist tool bag?

「I will analyze that sky and close it.」

『…I still feel the presence of the Vision Ogre…』

「What is it trying to do?」

『I don’t know… but… ngu』

End Fang’s eyes were dyed red. It was so sudden that there was no sign or anything.

『GURURURUAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!』

Although I cast【Wind Magic】immediately, I couldn’t offset the power of the roar. My body was sent flying like a ball. While healing my body from the impact of the roar, I found my balance and stabilized my body in mid-air.

『Child of Disaster, Such Impudence! Giant Species Is Our Pawn!!』

「Mediator!!」

A black flame burst forth and coiled around End Fang’s head.

It was the mediator.

It seems that the mediator only manipulated Forest Eater and Human Mimic’s minds the last time, but now, the mediator has directly hijacked End Fang.

「This is bad–」

The mediator tried to unleash the previous magic again using End Fang’s body. The【Dark Magic】that fires rocket-like wedges even at the cost of the mana armor.

The number of wedges lined up in a row exceeded 100.

End Fang’s body rapidly lost vitality. Tears of blood dripped from its eyes, and its fur wilted like dead grass.

End Fang does not have enough mana to shoot 100 of those wedges.

That was why the magic was invoked at the expense of vitality.

The mediator could pull this off because it wasn’t its own body.

「Run away, everyone!!」

Many soldiers were already running before I even shouted.

However, Grenjido-sama and that tall knight were standing on the spot with their arms crossed.

As if trying to say they can’t run away while I was still fighting.

(But, what can I do now? The magic has already been activated!)

Even if I can deflect ten or twenty wedges, three digits of them are impossible. It would be like trying to take down a fleet of magic airships.

『With This, The Annoying Child Of Disaster Will Cease To Exist… KaKaKaKaKaKaKaKaKa!』

The mediator laughed in a ridiculing tone.

And then, over 100【Dark Magic】rockets were fired.
