Once Again, The First Step Part 2

Translator : PolterGlast

Nozomu, who was blown away, crashed into Shino\'s hut. The support pillar broke and the hut collapsed without time to escape.

Meanwhile, the giant figure that had knocked Nozomu away soared, whilst inverting its body.

[Cracked-Crown Giant Centipede]

The giant centipede with a carapace resembling a cracked crown on its head looked down at the collapsed hut while moving its ominous jaws, and began to clothe itself in purple electricity with an eerie cry.

*Chk-chk-chk......*

In the next instant, multiple thunderbolts were unleashed. The swarm of crawling, wailing purple lightning headed towards Shino\'s hut, which had just collapsed.

The lightning ignited the building materials made of grass and wood, and in the blink of an eye, fires were set alight, leaving Nozomu buried alive.

"Nozomu!"

While Irisdina screamed in grief as the hut was engulfed in flames, the [Cracked Crown] did not even pay attention to them, but instead pointed its four pairs of eyes at the hut it had set ablaze.

"This is bad, we have to help him quickly!"

Irisdina and Mars tried to rush to the burning hut to rescue Nozomu.

However, as if to hinder their attempts, Thunder Rain unleashed by the [Cracked Crown] attacked them.

"Ai!"

"Hold them back!"

Feo and Tima blocked the swarm of purple lightning that was heading toward them.

Five thrown talismans shone and formed a five-layered barrier while deploying a magic circle in mid-air.

The five-layered barrier instantly shattered in the face of the [Cracked Crown]\'s Thunder Rain, but in the meantime Tima, using her vast magic power, deployed a more powerful barrier. She somehow managed to block the countless purple lightning that was closing in on them.

"Kuu......"

However, there was not enough time for her to deploy a sufficient magic barrier.

As a result, she had no choice but to forcibly strengthen a low-level magic with magic power, and the burden of this hit her body as a recoil.

*Gigigi......~!*

While Tima was in agony, [Cracked Crown] tried to unleash a follow-up attack.

But before it could do so, a whip struck one of its eyes with great force. Whether because its eyeballs were tough, the giant centipede did not seem to feel any pain or itch, but the sudden impact distracted the giant centipede\'s attention.

"No good, huh~~. I can\'t even put a scratch on it, this kinda makes me lose confidence~~."

It was Anri who swung her whip. She was trying to turn the [Cracked Crown]\'s attention toward herself by delivering one blow after another.

From her side, a woman dressed in a maid\'s outfit, Mena Manat, rushed past her like a gust of wind.

She drew her rapier and fired a piercing thrust at the flexible outer skin between the giant centipede\'s joints.

With a light sound, the rapier pierced into it, and then she slashed it open by cleaving it, but she frowned when she felt a heavy sensation returned to her hand.

"I did manage to slash it, but it\'s no good. My weapon won\'t last like this."

These were the muscles that powered a body frame of more than a hundred mels. Naturally, it has very dense muscle tissue.

Any weapons that tried to slash such rock-like muscles would be severely worn out.

Mena, who has excellent swordsmanship, knew that with her current weapon, the blade would break in a few more blows.

"Ojou-sama, we will draw that demonic beast\'s attention. In the meantime, take Nozomu-sama -......~!"

"Norn, please go over to Nozomu-kun~~!"

"Alright. Don\'t overdo it, Anri!"

"Sorry, Mena. Somia, come this way!"

Irisdina and the others rushed to Shino\'s hut, which was on fire, leaving the [Cracked Crown] in the others\' hands.

"Nozomu, can you hear me!?"

"Damn, the fire is too strong!"

Irisdina tried to extinguish the fire by conjuring water with her magic, but it was not enough to extinguish the blazing flames.

"Raz, please!"

[ Aiyo, leave it to me! ]

Razward drew on the power of the spirits and created a huge ball of water that could extinguish all the flames surrounding the hut with a single shot. However, the moment Razward released the water ball, it instantly dissipated.

[ Oi oi oi, why is there spirit power in this demonic beast\'s magic!? ]

"Raz, use my magic power as well!"

Borrowing Shina\'s magic power, Razward created an even bigger water ball, but that water ball also dissipated the moment it was completed.

[ Damn, it\'s no use! The spirits won\'t listen to me! This is ...... the power of a water spirit that is stronger than me. ]

"How come ......."

"We have no other choice then!"

Meanwhile, Mars was attempting to use his greatsword as a lever to dislodge the debris by thrusting it into the beams of the hut.

He couldn\'t afford to waste more time. Smoke was already enveloping the area around the hut.

Nearly half of all fire deaths are caused by suffocation from smoke inhalation.

"Guuu......"

Despite putting all of his Qi and strength into it, the collapsed debris wouldn\'t budge.

The people he sought to protect. Everyone had died.

Irisdina, Mars, Tima, Somia. Shina, Mimuru and Tom.

Nozomu was speechless as the scene he had seen in his nightmares became reality.

[ Look, over there, they are the culprits of all this...... ]

A giant centipede, clad in blue source element.

Alongside it, two people, one man and one woman were standing across from the [Cracked Crown].

"You guys......."

Nozomu\'s thoughts were tainted with anger the moment he recognized them.

Ken and Camilla. The culprits behind all of Nozomu\'s downfall.

The two looked down at Nozomu and the corpses of Irisdina and the others, with eyes full of disdain.

The appearance of two people who [shouldn\'t be there]. Under normal circumstances, he would have noticed the incongruity.

But the death of Irisdina and the others erased his rationality.

"Ooooooooooo!"

His anger brought on more rage, completely erasing rationality from his mind.

Then, with a beast-like howl, Nozomu drew his katana and charged towards his hateful opponents.
