Kaito's POV
The people around me are all unconcious and injured, so i removed my invincibility, and i healed them one by one. Some of them are now fine, but they are still unconscious.
And while i am healing them, i heard the people from the other prison shout. They are like shouting because they are scared. So i stand up and opened the door.
When i opened the door, i can see a man that has a stab wound on his stomach, and he is carrying a sword. He stands up in front of the people, and some of them are women and kids. No, they are cumans, and all of them are scared.
He grabs the hair of a woman and the woman shouts.
「Nooo! Please stop! It hurts!」 The woman
「Shut up. I will kill all of you here! If you want to blame someone, blame the knights who raided this mansion without even knowing that there are still people being hidden.」 The man
So he comes here to kill all the prisoners huh.
「Well that's too bad, because i'm here!」 Me
The man was surprised of my voice, and he looked at me. But i dashed to the man and punched his stomach that has a wound, and he shouts in pain.
The man curls his body and pain, so i punched his back and he was blown down to the ground.
「Nee-san, are you okay?」 Me
I looked at the woman, but she has no wounds. Everyone here has no injury, unlike the people from inside the second door.
「Y-yes! thank you very much!」 The woman
The woman bows deeply to me. I am still not done with healing the people from the second door. So i need to go back to them.
「Nee-san, lead this people outside.」 Me
「A-anno~, my father is inside that door, please help him. I beg of you!」 The woman
「I got it. Now go!」 Me
After i said that, the scared people lined up and goes towards the entrance. It looks like they wi be fine now, so i go back to the second door and i see that some of them was already awake, so i told them to wait, then i healed all the people there. Then i told the people who are already awake, to carry the unconcsious people outside.
They are surprised and doubting me at first. But they believed in me when they saw me healing the other people.
After everything was done, we go outside the entrance, and i saw garza-san and the others treating the prisoned people from earlier.
「Garza-san!」 Me
「Ohh, kaito-dono. You are finally back.」 Garza
「Yeah, are they okay now?」 Me
「Yes, thanks to you. We are surprised that they suddenly comes out from the ground though. I should have entered there, but they said that you are just fine. So i take care of them first.」 Garza
「I see, then that's good.」 Me
「by the way, Kaito-dono. Did you see a person with a stab wound on his stomach?」 Garza
「Yeah, i punched his stab wound and blown him to the ground. So i'm sure he's already dea...」 Me
What's that!?
「Kaito-dono, is something wrong?」 Garza
「I suddenly felt a very ominius aura. It was even more ominous than a monster. It's a pure black aura.」 Me
What the hell was this!? My body is cold.
「What's that!?」 Garza
Garza-san pointed at my back with a scared and surprised expression. When i turned around, i saw the man with a stab wound from earlier. He is standing there, holding a syringe/injection. His body is black and white, and he is emitting a very black and ominous aura.
The knights and the people are shouting and they sre trembling in fear.
「What the hell was that!?」 Me
「That was carter. What happened to him? Why is he like that!?」 Garza
I see, so his name is carter huh.
「Garza-san, tell everyone to back off!」 Me
I have a very bad feeling about this.
Carter readied his sword that was covered with black water, and slashed it at us. Then a black water blade dashed to us, so i made a very compressed earth wall at my front to protect us.
But, the earth wall was destroyed, and the black water was thrown at us. And both me and garza-san was blown away. I had quickly gathered magic on my front, so i am not injured. But it hurts like crazy. Garza-san also seems like he has blocked the attack with his flaming sword, but the fire of his sword was gone.
「What the hell was that!? It's very strong」 Garza
「Garza-san, protect everyone. I'm gonna fight that thing.」 Me
「What are you saying? Can't you see that? It looks like it's very dangerous!」 Garza
「Then are you saying that you are going to fight that!?」 Me
「That's...」 Garza
「Protect the people. I will be fine!」 Me
「I-i got it. But be carefull. Athena-sama would surely get sad very much if something happens to you. And i'm sure that she will also blame herself.」 Garza
Yeah, i know. Athena is the one who asks help from me. So she will surely feel guilty if i were to die.
「Yeah i know. Now, go protect the people. And don't let your knights join the fight if they don't want to die!」 Me
「Yeah!」 Garza
Garza-san runs and ordered the knight to protect the people, and he also readied his flaming sword.
I looked at carter who is still standing, and i use my battle cloak and mind accel in 30% magic power. I can't also carelessly use 100% because we are inside the walls.
It would be dangerous is i accidentally destroy the walls and broken stones would falk onto the people.
When carter noticed me pouring magic, he attacks me again with a black water blade. But this time, i punched the water blade, and the water blade has dispersed.
Carter throws more black water blade at me, but i just punched them all.
While i am punching the water blade flying at me, carter suddenly rushed towards me and tried slash me by swinging his sword from left to right. By i dodge it with a hair width distance.
Carter keeps slashing at me, and i am pushed back. So i gathered a compressed magic on my hand and faced my palm on him.
When i released the compressed magic, it explodes and carter was blown backwards, but he is still standing.
It looks like 30% is not enough, so i made my battle cloak into 40%. Then i prepared my fist and dashed towards carter and punch him.
He was just hurt a little, and he slashed his sword to me again. But i dodge it by doing a side flip.
When i regained my posture. I kicked the ground again, and rushed to him and punch him. We are exchanging blows, but he was just fine.
No, it looks like he didn't notice the pain at all. He is awake, but he don't have any reaction.
He slashed his sword to me from the left so i shoot a compressed magic to blow it back. But carter spins his body instead to continue the flow of the sword, so i grabbed his arm that ewas holding the sword before it hits me and then grabs his clothes and throw him behind me.
When i throw him, he is still standing so i rushed at his front before he can properly regain his posture then i punched his stomach, and carter was blown away.
I tried to chase him and run past him but he released a strong black water pressure to the ground, and he was blown away to the air several meters from the ground.
I jump and follow him, and while we are in the air, we exchanged multiple blows. Then we fall to ground while standing.
He's so strong, it's hard to defeat him with just using 40%. But if i use more, the city might get destroyed.
I rushed to carter once again and punch him, but he just blocked it with his sword. Then we echange several blows again.
After a while of exchanging blows, i noticed something. His sword is cracking little by little.
Ah right, why did i forgot it. Strong people should not use weak equipment. Carter's sword is strong, but because of that syringe/injection he used, he suddenly powered up. He became so strong that his sword cannot exert his full potential.
I made my battle cloak and mind accel on 50%, and when carter sense my magic rising, he also raise his magic.
He didn't notice it, but his sword is slowly cracking. So i kicked the ground and prepared my fist to punch him. I didn't punch him immediately, i wait for him to ready his sword to block my punch.
When carter raised his sword to slash me, i punched it with all my strength, and his sword was blown to pieces.
He don't have any reaction earlier, but now that his sword was shattered, he was shocked. He looks at all the pieces of the sword that was blown all around the place.
And when he looks back at me again, i gathered a very large condensed magic on my hand on punch his stomach.
Carter's mouth and eyes becomes round because of the shock and a very loud siund resonates the area, and he was blown to that wall.
The area where he i punched him has a circle smoke that can clearly say that the punch was very strong. And the wall where carter hits has been destroyed.
Carter sticks to the wall, and he is slowly falling to the ground. And his black aura is slowly fading.
After a while, the aura had completely vanished. So i approached him and i turned his body to face the sky, and i confirmed it. His black and white body is not moving anymore, and i can't sense magic anymore too.
Now this is sure, he is now really dead. And if he will ever revive again, then i have no choice anymore but to use 100% of my magic power and face him with all i've got.
「Kaito-dono!」 Garza
「Garza-san?」 Me
Garza-san came running towards me.
「Is it done?」 Garza
「Well, yeah. I guess? I can't sense magic anymore, and his black aura from earlier was also gone. So maybe he's really dead.」 Me
「I see, well i hope it is already done.」 Garza
I should have been be able to defeat him quickly if i have a sword. I asked bert-san to make a sword for me together with kuroma's equipments when i go to ralles to pick up albert-san.
But Bert-san said that it will take months for him to make my sword since the iron i told him to use, is the sword of the goblin lord. He said that it was very hard as hell, and it takes too much time to even heat it.
「by the way, garza-san. Where is the geezer?」me
「There.」Garza
