Chapter 13: Dark Orbs destruction

When they thought they finally obtained the dark orb, an abnormal situation occured.

The ominous orb shined.

When it finally settled, the orb now had a dark red aura.

The next moment, an acute pain runs to the hand holding the orb.

Agu!

Hironobu-sama! Please release your hand!

The same time Firana had said that, the orb is thrown away.

It flew to the center of the room, stopped and began to float.

Ah dammit!

Are you okay? This is awful

She approached him immediately and frowned when she saw his hand.

Its as if it was burned by a hot iron.

Ill cure it right now!

Saying that, Firana covered the damaged hand with both of her hands.

Then, my hand was warped in white light as she recite her magic.

I felt the warmth as if soaking to a warm water.

This should be fine

Saying that she released her hand and the hand returned to its beauty as if nothing happened at all.

Usually it takes time to cure a scratch but it can be cured because of Firanas high status.

Thanks, Im saved

Its nothing, this is my role after all

Who who doesnt have anything in combat has the most activity on most other parts.

I clasped my hand and checked if there are no other abnormailities.

Then, I paid attention to the orb floating in front of me.

Though it has an aura of being strong, it shows no signs of attacking Hironobu.

Maou whos its container is defeated so it seems to be in an unstable state.

We can destroy that orb right?

Firana nodded.

Yes, until theres nothing left. So that it wont make a second or third Maou

Those who obtain the power of the orb indulge in desire and fall into ruin. However the way you say it means like the orb makes the Maou?

Thats

Shes about to say something but hesitated.

Then, Ill be explaining

Hikari turned up.

Then she talked about to the orb.

Originally, it;s a tool a wizzard has made, its a relic excavated from ancient remains. To be clear, it manipulates people

Manipulating people?

Its not giving out a detailed instruction but rather it drags the negative feelings out

And let you do the evil by yourself. Thats ill-natured

Yes thats right. Furthermore, the ill natured is the blood of Nafin that summoned me 1000 years ago

What? Nafin? Or rather, Firana

He compared the unconscious lady to Firana.

However, Hironobu thought that they dont look that much similar.

The only same is the deep blue colored hair.

(Its certainly a characteristic but there are people with vivid colored hair so I didnt mind it)

After all, Youkos the only human near Hironobu that has a black hair after coming to the otherworld1

My senses has been dulled I guess.

But, does Firana know this?

Yes. However, theyre not declared as a distant ancestor because their reputation is bad. Im very sorry!

Hironobu stretched his hand and comforted the bowing woman.

Well, I understand the feelings of the king. I cant do anything even if I know so It cant be helped

Firana felt relief from Hironobus words.

Hey hey, rather than that, is there a method to destroy the orb?

Getting tired of waiting, Fairy urged.

Theres one method, destroying it physically

Unnn, isnt that the simplest one?

I also nodded at Fairys words.

And its necessary to destroy it thoroughly.

However, it doesnt feel like it can be easily destroyed

Valeria looked at the orb attentively.

Obviously, it feels like its angry or rampaging

I agree with you

Ayaka agreed unusually, Hironobu smiled wryly.

Fortunately it doesnt move. Lets try to destroy it

I think it might react of you approached so I think magic is better

If so I think its better to leave it to Hiro and Firana. My magics been reduced by the fight with Maou

Fairy cant shoot it with something big

Unfortunately, my bow and arrow are low in power

I also agree with the idea of Firana

Thus the urgent strategic meeting ended, Hironobu and Firana advanced towards the orb in front of them.

The other companions are in cover if they fail

That orb got bigger than a while ago right?

Yes, it seems that its about to explode soon

The orb in front of him that was having a size of a palm is now a meter in diameter.

It looks like itll be a catastrophe if its left like that.

Theres no time so lets deal it with one shot!

Yes, Hironobu-sama!

They both raised their arms and rise magic from their whole body.

Extra chants are unnecessary. Its a cannonball of pure mana.

Both of them created a semitransparent cannon ball in their hands.

I want it to be narrow and condensed like an arrow, the penetration power goes up

Understood

HIronobu has a smattering knowledge from the net and corrected Firanas round cannonball.

He cant be detailed on the similar thing but its magic.

He correct the image in his head repeatedly.

The shape of the cannonball changed gradually and sweat comes into Firanas forehead.

(We cant last any further but lets try it)

Firana, can you let your magic take the same orbit as mine?

Yes, Ill try

When it comes to precision in magic, Firana is the top on the residents of this world.

Hironobu decided to believe her.

Okay, countdown. Three, two, one, now!

With his signal, the two shoot out their magic.

The noticed the attack coming to him that it spread out its aura.

But, that was slow.

As expected, it needs a human to demonstrate its power.

Hironobus magic hit the aura directly.

The two had a power fight for a moment but Hironobus magic exceeded it immediately.

Then, it reached the dark orb.

It wasnt possible to destroy it as expected but Firanas perfect magic hit it directly.

The orb that lost its defense broke down from her attack.

Then it was scattered into pieces and disappeared in the end.

This is the end

Hironobu who confirmed the destruction of orb said so.

Yes, with thisNafin-sama is released from the spell of the orb

Relief was felt from those words received.

She too probably didnt want to kill her ancestor.

Meanwhile, Nafin woke up.

U, uuuIthe orb?

It seems that her memories are confused.

Hironobu squat in front of her and spoke.

If youre looking for the dark orb, I just destroyed it. Theres no trace left

Is that so? If you destroyed itthen I, uu

Nafin whos perplexed stood up by herself.

For the time being, lets escape the castle. Wheres Youko-sensei?

Hiro, youre picking up the traitor?

Miyukis glance sent to Hironobu is sharp.

The fight has ended. Also, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth if I let her die

Haa, it cant be helped

Miyuki questioned Nafin and walked towards the room.

Ayaka, join your classmates and escape

Are you sure?

Yeah, also report to Margrit as soon as possible

She whos attracting the main force of the demon army needs this information above all reinforcements.

It would be absurd to come here and get injured. Everyone must return safely!

Everyone nodded and each of them began to take action
