Reunion
Really pathetic
Zelimgaia and Kuwasally can only run around unsightly in confusion after Sero unleashed his Holy beast mode
And they were done for just like that. Nothing worth noting
Isn’t that a disgrace as the Twelve Apostles?
Although they are the seventh and eighth rank, the other members will say 『They are the weakest among the Twelve Apostles……』 or something similar
「A……!?」
「Amazing……!?」
I’m not the only person witnessing Sero’s overwhelming victory
The Resistance members, who originally have the same intention as him, were also there, witnessing his splendid feat
Having almost conquered the continent, there is almost no opposition force against the empire remained
People accepted the governing of the empire. The air of dissatisfaction doesn’t appear either
Naturally, since they can’t fight directly, they have no choice but to attack from the shadow. And this is a momentarily victory in this stalemate
This victory became their ray of hope
「Ohhhhh!!」
「You are amazing, Sero-kun! I didn’t expect you are that strong!」
「Such overwhelming strength! Even the empire’s elites are not a problem!」
「What Twelve Apostles!? They only have their erotic look!」
Say whatever they want
Everyone surrounded Sero, almost look like they are about to lift him up
Sero already released his Holy beast mode and returned to normal
Receiving the excessive praises, he had a somewhat embarrassed expression
「Sero-kun……, I knew you are strong…… but I didn’t expect you are that strong……!?」
The Resistance leader praises Sero
「To be honest, I thought it’s over already……! Like that guy said, it is already impossible for us to overthrow the empire……! But that’s wrong, we still have hope……!!」
He said while staring at that hope itself
「Sero-kun, if you are here, we can still fight……! Let’s fight until we overthrow the empire! You are unmistakably a savior, our savior!」
「That’s right! We can win if Sero is here! The Twelve Apostles are no biggie! Sero alone can massacre them!!」
They are saying something really dangerous……。
For them, Sero’s existence is a drop of water in a desert
However, overall this is not good?
I want them to surrender
Until now, they didn’t have the means to win against the empire so they were inclined toward surrender option, but Sero appeared and shook the scale again
「Win against the empire! With Sero we can win against the empire!」
「Surrender is not needed! Rather, they are the one who need to surrender!」
「No, surrender is not allowed! The empire must be massacred!!」
Oi, they are becoming warlike
「Stop it, everyone……」
The one pouring cold water onto the exciting mood of everyone was Sero, the savior himself
「The empire can’t be taken lightly. This is only one defeat, merely a small misstep for them. It can’t even shake the empire itself」
「But, the Twelve Apostles……!?」
「Certainly, the one I defeated are the Twelve Apostles. But they said it already, right? They are just the seventh and eighth rank」
Sero calmly analyzed
「That means, in other words, there are at least 6 people stronger than them. I honestly don’t know how far I can go」
Rei, Gashi and Seki were already out of the calculation
「Besides, there is a person in the empire that I can never win」
「Eh!?」
「Right before my eyes……」
Sero’s gaze turns to me
A respectful gaze without any gloominess……!?
「If he fights seriously, I can never beat Nii-chan」
「Is that a lie!? That person looks like weak dunce, right!? With Sero’s power, a finger would be enough……!?」
「Don’t look down on Nii-chan!!」
「Hiiii!?」
Yelling is not good, Sero!
Don’t lose your composure
「…………That person is my senior brother. Everything that I can do now was first showed by him. Naturally, that includes Holy beast mode……」
Umu
Regarding that matter, I’m still surprised
「Sero was able to acquire Holy Beast mode, huh?」
「Thanks to Nii-chan showing me before your graduation. In order to defeat the empire, I wanted to acquire that power no matter what. In 3 years after Nii-chan left, I asked master and learned that power with utmost effort!」
「I see, it must be hard」
To be able to obtain Holy beast mode within 3 years, there is no word that can explain how hard he tried
It can be said that his wish to destroy the empire, or grudge is that strong……。
But what worried me is something else
Holy beast mode is essentially not something one can obtain just by working hard
The most important thing about Holy beats mode is to mix the beast aura and holy wisdom aura
Mixing the originally contrasting beast nature and intelligent in harmony
By mixing the two antithesis, the repelling force will be united and give birth to a transcendental power
However, they are not something human possessed naturally
Human are beings with intelligent, so they are protected by wisdom god Sophia and can learn Holy wisdom aura depending on the training
However, beast aura from beast god Beast can’t be used without having a contract with him
However, human is certainly a kind of animal, so they can somehow draw out a small amount of beast nature, so it’s possible to manifest a weak holy beast mode by mixing it with holy wisdom aura
The holy beast mode I completed while learning under Tanu-sage and showed Sero is at that level
However, that level was too weak to be used in battle, so in order to obtain the complete holy beast mode, it was important for me to return to the empire to obtain the beast piece
……。
Just now, the Holy beast mode Sero showed me is absolutely not the weak one manifested by human’s small amount of beast nature
It is the regular holy beast mode that rivals my holy beast mode when I became the Twelve Apostles
How can Sero, who hates the empire and would never learn beast aura, complete holy beast mode?
It’s a mystery I can’t solve with the currently available information
「……Sero-kun can’t beat him?」
「Is that person really strong? He is the twelfth rank, right?」
I am the twelfth rank, yes
The twelfth rank among the twelve people, yes
So what?
「Therefore I want everyone to listen carefully to Nii-chan words as much as you can. No matter how hard I tried, I think it will be difficult to defeat the empire」
「…………」
「I think it’s the best to stop the resistance and keep on living in peace. It’s for yourself and for this world. Not only revenge won’t have any meaning, it will also disturb this world, which will head to harmony in the future」
A new tragedy will be born with that chaos
Sero also realized that what they are trying to do is foolish
Because he is wise
I, who have lived together with him, know this
「But even so, even though I know it’s foolish, I can’t forgive the empire……!」
「……!?」
「I can’t forgive the empire that killed father and mother……! I will continue to fight to the end until the empire is destroyed. By myself……!」
A flame of vengeance that can’t be extinguished despite his calm judgment
The emotional scar he carried is that big
While he recommends others to give up, he can’t give up
That is the karma he carried
「If that’s the case……, you must die」
「!? Who!?」
That’s the voice of someone who was not here until now
Someone came again?
Even when I just want to put an end to this!?
Moreover, this is a familiar voice……!?
「Such deep hostility toward the empire. Owner of divine skill equal to Jirat. Leaving him alone is too dangerous」
Why is this guy here!?
The newly appeared person is, in a sense, a man I absolutely don’t want to meet here
「For the empire to continue flourishing, you must be killed here. By the second rank of The Twelve Apostles, Wartaiga……」
To be exact, a man I absolutely don’t want Sero to meet
