“Holy Light”
The magic I use doesn’t just purify the undead, it also has the power to drive away all darkness.
The arrows of darkness emitted from the Nightmare Claws equipped by Kaim were extinguished by this light before they could reach Eleonore.
“……W-what was that!?”
Kaim was a little stunned by the unexpected situation.
It was there that he finally noticed my presence.
“Why is there a baby in a place like this!?”
“Hello, I’m just a cute baby~”
“And you can taalk!?”
Ignoring Kaim’s expected reaction, I used the same magic to dispel the darkness that had been binding Eleonore and the others.
“Whaat!? So the light from earlier is also your work!? However, the darkness created by these claws should not be so easy to get rid of! No, why is a baby able to use magic in the first place!?”
“That’s a lot of questions right off the bat.”
『I think anyone would do the same. Master’s existence itself is an anomaly after all. 』
Perhaps sensing that I was dangerous, Kaim urged the warriors of darkness that he had created earlier.
“Holy Light”
I tried to cast the same spell again, but the warriors of darkness rushed at me even as the light hit them.
“I see. If it started out as a human body, then this light can’t erase it that easily.”
Although the parts exposed to the light temporarily disappeared, they quickly repaired themselves and went back to normal.
Before I knew it, I was surrounded by them.
“Kuhahaha, die!”
Attacks came from all directions.
Of course, I’m not there anymore.
“I think it would be better to get rid of these claws instead.”
“……Huh? W-when did you get here!?”
“Wind Blade”
The Nightmare claws fluttered through the air, taking Kaim’s arm with it.
I threw a blade of wind that cut him off from the elbow.
I could have let Bahamut eat it, but this weapon was used by the first queen after all. It would be bad to let it disappear without permission.
“~~~~~~!? Gyaaaaaaaaaaaah!!”
Kaim screams as blood spurts out from the cut arm.
The Nightmare Claws roll on the ground, and the warriors of darkness created earlier disappeared into particles.
I picked up the Nightmare claws and went to the next room where Kaim had come from.
There was an empty treasure chest there, and a magic circle was drawn around it. Since part of the magic circle is disappearing, it seems that the barrier itself has weakened over the years.
That’s probably why it was destroyed by Kaim.
“It’s dangerous, so let’s seal it again.”
I put the Nightmare Claw away in the treasure chest and created a new barrier around it. I made it so powerful that it can’t be destroyed with a little bit of effort, so it should be okay even if something like this happens again.
When I returned outside, I found Kaim in a pool of blood flowing from his arm.
He’s dying.
“What a pitiful end, Kaim.”
“Ku…… Kukuku…… Will you take pity on me, Eleonore……?”
Although they are siblings, they have ended up living completely different lives because of their gender.
There must be various thoughts coming and going in their heads, and they look at each other with mixture of emotions.
“What you have done is unforgivable. But…., I myself can’t help but wonder what would have happened if I had been born a man.”
“…………Kukuku”
If their genders had been reversed, they might have been in opposite positions now.
“Oh, I’m sorry, I forgot to heal you.”
I activated a regeneration spell.
Then, Kaim’s arm, which had been left on the floor, began to move on its own, sticking to the cut surface and fusing with it. The lost blood was also regenerated, and his complexion improved in no time.
“““……Huh?”””
Eleonore and Kaim were both stunned.
“I’m sure there’s a lot of things you two want to talk about, so why don’t you take your time and talk it through a bit more? Then I think you should execute him or do whatever the country’s laws required afterwards.”
