Volume 2 Chapter 49 The Hero, Burying the Four Heavenly Kings with Extraordinary Strength
The Guildmaster brought with him the Great Hero Lawrence and his friends.
In the grassy fields near the North Wall.
"Lord Act...so you got the ancient Hero's treasure, huh?"
Suigetsu nodded at Act's words.
"I also got your weapon. Now, just leave it to them and rest,"
Act lowered Higami, who was quietly settled in his arms.
"Ah..."
She whispered slightly, looking a bit disappointed.
"What is it?"
"N-n-nothing, you idiot!"
Higami shouted, unable to say she didn't want to be put down.
Meanwhile, under the influence of chaotic magic, the giant fly monster, Jacky, was trembling.
Shudder, shudder... Jacky was shaking.
Though he had lost his intellect, he could still feel it.
How strong Lawrence and the others had become.
"What are you doing, Mr. Jacky?"
The masked man, Evil God Dostoevsky, spoke gently.
"It's sad to see one of the Four Heavenly Kings frightened by mere Humans."
...The Evil God's whisper struck at the little pride Jacky had left.
'Gah, gaaaaahhhhhh!'
A massive amount of magical power burst from Jacky's giant fly body.
"W-what is that...?"
Higami's eyes widened.
The magic released by Jacky darkened the air.
"It seems that magic has a deadly poison quality,"
"I see! As expected of the Guildmaster! You see right through everything!"
Now... Higami's face turned pale.
"W-wait, is this really the time for that!? If the air gets poisoned, everyone will die!"
"Calm down. Luna, show them. The power of the Sacred Artifact."
"S-sacred artifact...?"
A girl, the healer, stepped forward.
In her hand, she held a staff with a flower bud at the tip.
"[Half Bloom]"
In that moment, the bud at the tip began to shine brightly.
Glowing like jade, the bud opened slightly.
At that moment, a huge magic circle spread out on the ground.
Crack...!
With a flash, the polluted air vanished in an instant.
But that wasn't all.
The grassland, which had been turned to ruins from the battle with the Eastern Heroes, instantly returned to a lush green land.
"This staff is amazing... I only put a little magic into it, yet it created a wide-area, high-level healing magic!"
"I-it's too amazing-degozaru! Lady Luna!"
Suigetsu squealed with delight.
The Eastern Heroes, including Higami, were just stunned.
The healing magic she used not only restored the land and air but also completely healed the stamina of Higami and the others within range.
"What... is that? It was already crazy before, but now it's even more insane. Is it because of the artifact?"
"Not quite. The artifact is just a catalyst. That is Luna's true power."
"W-what do you mean?"
"For example, when you want to take water from a lake, what do you do?"
Higami hesitated but answered the sudden analogy.
"Well... I scoop it out with my hands."
"I see. But you can only take a limited amount."
"Of course. No matter how much water there is, you can only scoop a little with your hands... oh."
Higami began to understand what Act was trying to say.
"No matter how much water is in the lake, if the container is small, you can only get a little. But if you have a bucket, you can get more water, and if you have a tub, you can get even more from that lake."
"I get it... the lake's water is Luna's true power. The artifact is the container that brings it out?"
Act nodded and looked at the staff Luna held.
"Luna has a huge healing power. A normal staff can't bring it all out. But with that staff, we can maximize Luna's healing power. It can even bring the dead back to life."
"Isn't that just too insane...?"
And she controlled it intentionally, creating this miracle with just 20% of her power.
Higami could only tremble in fear.
'Grr, zohhh, gaaaaaahhh!'
The giant fly (Jacky) shone black and bright.
In that moment, it exploded.
Jet-black smoke enveloped the area.
"Did it split apart?"
Countless bugs scattered into the surroundings.
Eli didn't cast any defense magic.
"Mida!"
"Yeah, Guildmaster!"
The archer Mida crouched down.
She sheld a beautiful jade bow.
But there were no arrows in sight.
Mida plucked the string and released.
In that moment, like shooting stars, arrows of light spread around.
The magic arrows shot forth like a rapid-fire cannon, piercing countless bugs with deadly accuracy.
"Endless magic arrows. Plus, their speed surpasses light!"
"Ugh... like... ugh..."
There were countless Jackies, but only one was left now.
'Huh! G-gah! Retreat!!'
Jacky used all his strength to flee.
The magic arrows that surpassed light.
Yet it ran even faster.
By exceeding the speed of light, it created a pseudo time stop.
But...
"Slow. You're too slow, my friend."
A spear pierced through Jacky's body from above.
'W-what the heaaaat!?'
