Volume 5 Chapter 32
We rushed to the aerial fortress to rescue my sister, Cino, from Jamael's clutches.
Despite the unexpected barrier posed by the Hand of God, with the help of the people of the sky, we finally made it inside the fortress.
If the sky folk hadn't distracted the enemy, we would've been in serious trouble.
Thank you, everyone...
'Kukuku! Zeke! You finally made it!'
The entrance to the fortress was set in a garden.
A high-pitched voice, utterly annoying, reached our ears.
"Jamael!"
The root cause of all my suffering──taking away my precious people, my country, and my beloved family!
I was trembling with rage, but...
Chippy squeezed my hand softly.
...Right.
I can't let my emotions take over.
I'm a healer.
If I let anger consume me, I won't be able to save anyone, not a single soul.
...Calm down.
"Jamael. I've come to settle things once and for all. But, if you return Cino, I might consider letting you go."
It's not like I want to kill Jamael.
If he promises to return Cino and never harm anyone again...
'No need for forgiveness! Zeke, I've lived all this time just to destroy you and everything you hold dear!'
...I see.
He's been consumed by such foolish obsession.
"Let me make one thing clear: I won't hold back against anyone who senselessly takes lives."
'That's fine by me! No matter what you say, I have no intention of changing my mind. This fight can only end when one of us is dead!'
...I despise violence.
But still...
If someone like Jamael were to take the lives of those I truly care about...
"Fine. Jamael. I will... defeat you."
'Hooha! I wonder if you can really pull that off?'
With a whoosh!
A magic circle flickered to life before me, and from it emerged a grotesque creature that looked somewhere between a magic beast and a human.
"Oh no, that's it! Those modified humans that attacked Demon Lord Country!"
Modified humans.
Hmm... I can sense a life force.
But it's not a life born naturally.
It's probably an artificial lifeform.
What a pitiful existence...
...I see.
So Jamael, even in the end, treats life so carelessly.
'I've spent a long time on this! Finally, Zeke! I've completely figured out the Hand of God you possess! Even you must feel the sting, don't you?'
It's true, before I came here, I felt the Hand of God's barrier pierced by enemy fire.
I don't know the principle behind it, but Jamael developing a countermeasure against this miraculous power of mine is a fact.
'Of course, I've prepared for such a thing! I've equipped myself with means to counter the Hand of God, you see!'
So you have... Well, thanks for the detailed explanation.
But...I won't give up.
"Everyone... come!"
As I raise my right hand, a magic circle unfolds around us.
A teleportation gate emerges from it.
'A teleportation gate... so you made it with the Hand of God!'
"Yes. Please, everyone, lend me your strength."
From the gate, the lives I've saved appear.
A multitude of magic beasts gather in the garden.
"It seems our time has come."
"Zeke, leave the enemies to us. We'll take care of them."
"Go on, young Demon Lord!"
Elron, Sofia, and Veig.
The kings and their people lend me their strength.
I nod and, along with Chippy, Haku, and Sia, we hurry forward.
