Rest Easy
That state of the battle was obviously leaning towards Cis and the others.
“Haa……haa……fall back!”
When the enemy Magician shouts pantingly, the Swordsman and Spearsman back down for once.
“……”
Asch is thinking. ‘Do they seriously think that they can go toe to toe against the strongest Dark Magician on this continent, with capabilities of this extent, with this number of people’.
“Cis, and then the other three. Come over here for once”
Without even hiding his blatant favouritism, the loli Magician pulls the students back as well.
“Kukuku……you bastards, it’s already over”
The Swordsman, the Spearsman, and the Magician, place a small sphere on their palm respectively and swiftly swallow it.
“Magic Pills huh……which means that’s you guy’s trump card huh”
“You should’ve gone all out and killed us, without holding back”
The Swordsman smirks dauntlessly.
“……you guys, come over here for a bit”
The Dark Magician, brings Cis and the other three, close to himself.
“Sensei……why……ah”
Before Cis finishes saying, he injects a syringe into her defenceless nape. He does the same to the neck of the other three as well with extraordinarily accustomed hand movements. Because it came out of absolutely nowhere, the students plopped down and collapsed without even knowing what happened.
“You-, you bastard……what did you do……”
The Swordsman was asking unconsciously. Even from the enemy’s perspective, it’s a bizarre scene. It’s not at all a good idea to put your own allies to sleep and deliberately corner yourself into a disadvantaged situation.
“Well, it’s because I don’t want to destroy their perfect and ideal image of a teacher”
The narcissistic Magician was, worrying about something that’s 101% wrong.
“……I wonder how long that composure will last?”
“No need to worry about me. It’s already, over after all”
“……huh?”
“Now, shall we get started then”
“Ridicu……gah!?”
“That’s right, you can’t move, right?”
Asch who’s moving closer defencelessly laughingly.
The three enemies, their bodies only quiver even when they try to put their strength in.
“Wha-, what did you do!?”
“You mustn’t show your shadow to a Dark Magician, you know. Especially to the continent’s greatest Magician like me. Well, I guess you guys have no need for advice anymore. You’ve already, presented your lives to me after all”
While they were engrossed in their battle with the students, he had already finished casting his magic. Because the students were putting up a better fight than he thought, and the enemies were also focusing over there, it was an extremely simple task.
The enemies struggle desperately and try to undo the paralysis, but they can’t move even a single finger. Exactly as the Dark Magician said, the victor had already, been decided.
“……bufuu!? ……fuhahahahaha……fuhahahahahahahaha! It’s-, it’s funny, isn’t it? It’s funny, you know! Even though you had been waiting for the chance to show off your secret weapon and blowing your own horn……bufuu!『You should’ve gone all out and killed us』……no,『You should’ve gone all out and killed us―!』, was it. 『You should’ve gone all out and killed us―!』『You should’ve gone all out and killed us―!』fufufufufuhahahahaha……fufufu……fuhahahahaha……fuhahahahaha!”
The manic Magician who, while slapping the enemy, ridicules the enemy who’s covered in humiliation. Apparently, it struck his funny bone.
“Ugaaaaaaah! Move move move――――!”
The enemy desperately struggles with their body, but it’s already too late.
They underestimated Asch＝Dahl too much. They should’ve taken the Magic Pills from the beginning and gone all out for the kill.
“……fuhahaa……haaー……now, I can’t keep on laughing to no end”
＜＜Give Me The Tools Of Darkness, That Expose The Fool’s Sin＞＞ーーSickle Of Dead Spirits(Death・Case)
When the Dark Magician chants, numerous eerie tools appear from the shadows.
“Wha-, what are those……”
Despite vaguely realising what’s their usage, the Swordsman couldn’t help asking.
“What. I want to know what kind of effect those Magic Pills brings about……with you guys’ bodies”
Saying that, he takes a blade that has a disturbing sharpness, out from the ominous toolbox. That was, a surgical tool for when Asch performs human body dissection.
The Dark Magician stabs the Swordsman’s abdomen mercilessly.
“Gyaaaaaaaaaa”
He carried on to creep his arm into his abdomen and took out the small sphere object.
“It has ended up melting quite a bit……but I guess it’s narrowly possible to extract a sample”
He keeps the blood-soaked Magic Pill into his bag and stabs the Swordsman’s body with the blade over and over and over again next.
“A゛a゛a゛a゛a゛a゛a゛a゛!”
“Hmm……136 Debel. Pain is alleviated to a certain extent huh. What I’m curious about is, the kinetic visual acuity”
While muttering, he digs out the eyeballs with his long fingers.
“UGUOA゛aAGYAGOA゛i゛i゛o゛”
“……there’s no need for your moans since I already collected the data for pain. It’s unpleasant, you know”
He sighs and blocks the Swordsman’s mouth with magic.
“He-, help! I’m begging you, I’ll do anything! I’ll confess anything”
Looking at the scene of the interrogation, the Spearman who’s impelled by fear shouts in tears.
“No, it’s fine”
“……huh?”
“I don’t think throwaway pawns like you guys have any significant information……hmm, as I thought, the kinetic visual acuity has also gone up remarkably……it sure is magnificent”
The Dark Magician’s eyes glisten like that of a young boy.
“No way! Please spare me! If it’s something I can do, I’ll do anything! I’ll do anything……so I’m begging you!”
“Begging for your life huh……what an earsore. Even though you targeted people’s lives without asking any question. You, don’t have to talk anymore”
He blocks the Spearman’s mouth as well.
“……please……please……oh God……show me mercy”
The enemy Magician, for the first time in his life, dedicates his prayers from the bottom of his heart.
“Fuu……God huh. I watched someone who, despite offering both his heart and soul to God, was repaid with nothing for his effort, you know. I can’t at all imagine such a God, will save someone like you”
“No way……please……anything but my life……”
“Regarding that, you can rest easy”
The Dark Magician who makes a face full of smiles.
“Are-, are you……serious!?”
“When your life comes to an end, you’ll probably be grateful that you’re able to die after all”
“I, I don’t wanna―――――――――――……”
“Now, let’s measure your magic power as well……if one possesses several of the same Magic Pills, is there any side effect if they eat multiple of them――”
・・・
The first one who woke up was, Cis.
“Se-, sensei! Where are the enemies?”
“Aah……they got terrified of me and ran away”
Asch pat Cis’ head with a gentle expression.
