Volume 4 Chapter 49 The End of God is Tragically Sad
Abnella hadn't moved too far away; after walking up the mountain path for a bit, I could see his figure in the distance.
His right leg hadn't regenerated yet, and he was crawling forward with his remaining left leg and 2 of his 4 arms.
Come on, my body hurts, but this is the decisive moment.
First and foremost, I need to heal my body, but I might have to use that magic stone.
"For that, I have to use Abnella's power and get close. I know I'll get caught, but I have no choice."
I told myself that, dragging my feet as I hurried to get closer to Abnella.
'...Hm?'
Abnella stopped and turned around when he noticed the sound behind him.
When he saw me, his red eyes narrowed sharply.
'You, did you come chasing after me? I thought I had let you go.'
"Why did you let me go?"
'.........'
Abnella didn't answer.
Or rather, could he not answer?
...Well, fine.
I need to use this guy's power to heal my body first.
I didn't hesitate and moved closer to Abnella.
If he attacks now, I'll die without a moment's notice──but somehow, it didn't feel like that would happen.
That's because if he had the intention to, he wouldn't have let me go in the first place.
Likely, there must be a reason he had to let me go.
'Hey, why are you getting closer? Do you want to die?'
"I want to talk."
Ignoring Abnella's anxious demeanor, I got close enough to where his sword could reach.
The pain in my legs is at its limit, but if I can get this close──then it's okay.
'I don't have──'
Abnella started to say something, but his expression twisted in agony.
I haven't done anything yet, but this reaction, could it be──
"Ah, I see. I thought it was strange. The guys from Gualerto, and you, were all acting so scared out of the ordinary..."
With that, I hoisted one of the 'gifts,' the 'Magic Stone of Festarl,' up to show it off.
At the same time, Abnella's red eyes opened wide in shock.
'You! Stop! Don't bring that stone near me!'
"Then you should've just killed me from a distance if you could, but there's a reason you couldn't, right?"
Mocking the flustered Abnella, I laughed and asked,
As you can see, Abnella fears the magic stone 'gift.'
And the reason he couldn't attack me recklessly is that if the 'gift' magic stone gets destroyed, the power of the new god would be released, and Abnella could get caught up in it and vanish, or possibly get sealed away again.
Probably, he didn't attack again with pebbles or bullets because he noticed the 'gift's' presence.
He must've been worried deep down when he blew it up with the explosion.
"'Gift's' power is wonderful, but I wouldn't hesitate to use it to destroy you now... but before that──I'll take your power."
'Stop... stop!'
Ignoring the trembling Abnella, I infused the 'Magic Stone of Festarl' with Magic Power.
At the same time, I felt the sensation of all my wounds healing.
My broken leg seemed to be mending itself.
"Certainly a remarkable power, both this magic stone's and yours."
I said that to Abnella, who was lying on the ground, as I was using the "Magic Stone of Festarl" and sucking his power.
This 'gift' heals any wound, but it also takes the life force of nearby creatures as a side effect.
I used this 'gift' to come back to life when I was almost dead in Adiliana's trap before.
At that time, I learned about the side effect when a stray dog that happened to be nearby died.
'Stop... Stop...'
The "Magic Stone of Festarl" stopped working because my wound was completely healed, but Abnella, who was barely alive, kept repeating it like a dream.
It's sad that this is what's left of the god of peace.
I didn't care about Abnella and rummaged through my magic bag and took out a very powerful bomb.
This one is Lene's masterpiece, which combines the effects of "Grenade" and "Napalm" and has even more power.
I didn't know when to use it, but now is the time.
It's heavy, though.
I set the bomb on Abnella's back, who was lying face down, and activated it.
Then I put the "Magic Stone of Festarl," "Magic Stone of Auerele," and "Magic Stone of Funungi," which were my 'gifts,' on the spot.
'.........'
Abnella, who was weakened by having the 'gifts' placed on his back, was already unable to speak.
It's about time to detonate it, so I got off his back and quickly moved away.
"Poor god, I hope you will be saved next time."
I muttered to myself as I ran down the dark mountain path.
A loud crash echoed, as something shattered in the night mountains.
