Greed[edit]
"Ku..." (Ren)
Ren let out a vexed sound.
Looks like it turned out well. The thing Gaelion planned with us was stopping the transfer skill. Referencing from when we did not run from Gaelion's former territory before, it seems Gaelion researched and was able to produce the magic. Normally it awakens the magic element from the vicinity, a power within the domain of the power-enhancing Dragon Pulse magic, but this time a large amount of magic element was activated to interfere and obstruct, or so I heard.
Supposedly, specific attributes of normal human magic could be sealed if this magic was figured out. For example, the fighting power of Melty and Sadina would greatly diminish if water was sealed.
"Okay! Rishia! Fire a signaling magic!" (Naofumi)
"Y, Yes!" (Rishia)
My order was followed. The effects of concealment magic wore off on Rishia as a magic aria set in. Immediately after, magic flew upwards. Okay, everyone should gather within a few minutes. Until then it'll be fine if pursuit is maintained so there is no escape.
"..." (Ren)
Ren understood he could not escape, readying his sword. I'll acknowledge you for not losing your fighting spirit in this situation.
"Finally time to pay the piper, huh? Ren." (Naofumi)
"Piper? That's my line." (Ren)
Running from reality as usual it appears, huh?
"A guy who can't do anything without numbers is looking at me. Even being accompanied by a dragon...let me judge personally." (Ren)
"...Do you understand your own standing?" (Naofumi)
I can't even say I'm surprised. Is the equation "dragon=evil" or something? Pride's Curse...?
"A coward who challenges me to a match with two, I won't lose to you!" (Ren)
"Is concealing yourself against an opponent who has no attack power, even using a certain kill attack from behind, not considered cowardly?" (Naofumi)
"Not being able to sense it is your fault." (Ren)
"So you say." (Naofumi)
As I thought, it's "my rules" full throttle.
His speech and conduct are somehow strange too, I wonder if his inner thoughts are coming to the surface. Almost like, or rather just like those who often appear claiming to be strongest in net games.
By Ren's terms, not having companions is bad, and though it's fine to say dim things, in the end, returning inflammatory words with inflammatory words will become a pissing contest. Frankly, I want to say his defeat was because of a lack of useful pawns, but he's not someone who'll listen.
"Here I come!" (Ren)
"Listen to me--" (Naofumi)
Ren started running faster than I could give caution. Then facing me with his sword he--or not, his target became Rishia as he ran.
Oi...
There's definitely something strange about the current Ren. Inconsistency, or how should I put it, lacking direction.
"Fue!?" (Rishia)
Rishia raised her voice as the attack suddenly changed direction. This guy, aiming at the weakest-looking person in this situation.... It's the basics of tactics, but targeting the weakest first, where did fair and square go? Nevertheless, you've made a big mistake. Rishia is now....
"Deryaaaaaaaaaa!" (Ren)
Ren brandished towards Rishia, letting out an enthusiastic shout at the same time. But Rishia promptly leaned over as if breaking her stance, threw a rope-attached throwing knife at a nearby tree, and quickly took distance with a su-. While in the motion of taking distance, four iron skewer-like things were thrown towards Ren.
"That surprised me." (Rishia)
"Rather I'm the one surprised." (Naofumi)
What was with that quick evasion? It pretty much took only an instant. Isn't it only this fellow who fights like someone from another world? No, it can be seen, so it's not like it can't be defended against.
Where did she even get those iron skewers? Is it a hidden weapon of the Peerless Transformation style or something?
"Ku..." (Ren)
The skewers did not stick, but Ren let out a troubled voice since it did not go as he'd thought.
"It's troublesome if you forget about me." (Gaelion)
Gaelion threatened while flapping his wings with a basaa-. Oh yeah. It's three versus one. It's not like I don't feel unfair at all, but it's a habit. Well, originally I couldn't fight alone, after all.
"However, to only possess strength of this extent...the disappointment is tremendous." (Gaelion)
"I didn't see anything like damage being inflicted." (Naofumi)
"Of course I held back. Although, I shall not deny I lack the strength to defeat him." (Gaelion)
"Is that so." (Naofumi)
The more hands, the easier it gets, I guess.
"Oi. Witch isn't coming?" (Naofumi)
"..." (Ren)
Ren's face distorted at my question and I sense the swelling presence of an ominous aura emanating from his sword.
"It appears you chose the wrong words. His power has increased." (Gaelion)
Mu...questioning him poorly has backfired. In which case, getting information will be difficult. I wanted to at least know where that fellow was at, though.
"Well then I'll have you let me get serious. Hero of the Shield. Take out the abominable Cursed Shield." (Gaelion)
"No." (Naofumi)
With the Wrath Shield at its initial state from failed enhancements, the effects of the curse just make it an item that puts myself in danger. Of course, it wouldn't be to the severity of using the certain kill Blutofer, but I've been told that I could even die if I use it again while cursed. It's not that I don't have a technique like using Iron Maiden to subjugate, but I could probably win without it.
"It's okay. I have secret measures. Moreover...there is no need to drag it on." (Gaelion)
"Really-?" (Naofumi)
It's pretty suspicious to me. Eh, it should be fine just quickly changing shields if the corrosion gets out of hand.
I put my hand on my shield and change to the Wrath Shield. As expected, my vision becomes black with a bashi-.
...I still have my reason.
Hateful emotions are surging upwards, but still within bearable range.
Hm? 3:00 appears in my field of vision and decreases to 2:59.
"Gyaoooooooooooooooooooooo!" (Gaelion)
Gaelion's body is swelling with a black shine. A sinister jet-black aura, overflowing sentiments of rage. An appearance like a Wrath Dragon. Materialized there was Gaelion as a Great Dragon.
"Fumu...my power is swelling." (Gaelion)
Letting out a dark flame, Gaelion spoke. A-... probably, this number is the transformation time. Since it lasted five minutes with Firo, the time is lower. Well, it probably also depends on how much ability Gaelion possesses.
Even so, Gaelion...what a villain-like appearance. It's starting to feel like I've become the evil boss-like character. The truth is that the Hero of the Sword is the bandit chief though.
"Lowly demon that takes the pretense of a hero. I shall pass judgement upon you!" (Ren)
Not giving up, Ren roars. Aren't you not looking at reality? If the opponent you've had a hard fight with until now powered up, no matter what you consider, you can't win right?
"Awaken! My power! In battles I get stronger!" (Ren)
Oww! So painful! Chills ran down my back.
Stop going so far with your chuunibyou! This is settled.
Because what Ren awakened without killing was his chuunibyou.
There are those guys who suddenly, after cruelly committing atrocities until then, become enlightened and stop killing in anime, right? I wonder if this is like that.
"How foolish...I will let you witness the difference in our powers." (Gaelion)
Oi...Gaelion, that line is for the losing side. Why are we only acting and speaking like those in the role of villians?
As the time fell to 2:30, Gaelion inhaled a large amount of air. This appearance...I guess there are Wrath Dragons too. The inhaled air was probably for a Breath. Because of the time limit, it seems to be a powerful Breath.
"Take this!" (Gaelion)
While flapping his wings, Gaelion let out a breath toward the ground.
Oi! I'm here too! It was a jet-black flame. No mistake, it is the flame of Dark Curse Burning S.
"Instant - Dragonslaying!" (Ren)
Ren cut the flame, slashing at Gaelion. A fighting spirit in the form of a dragon flew up. I think I'll simply commend him for being able to cut through the flame.
Well, it is of no concern to me.
"Zweite Aura." (Naofumi)
I chant support magic for Gaelion.
"...Fumu. How lukewarm." (Gaelion)
Maybe my support magic had an effect; Gaelion caught Ren's attack with one hand. The dragon made from fighting spirit was grabbed by the neck and crushed.
"Oh yes, you may not know it, but now I shall allow you to witness a dragon's...a Dragon Emperor's serious Breath."
"I, Dragon Emperor Gaelion command the heavens, command the Earth, cut off reason, connect. My power. Manifest a strength to destroy the foolish one before me!" (Gaelion)
I saw the development of countless magic formations overlapping in front of Gaelion. Even though you had such a thing, why was it not used until now? I hate stinginess, you know?
No, could it not be used? He's a Great Dragon right now as well, so that possibility is high.
"Fuee... somehow, it feels dangeroussss..." (Rishia)
"I suppose so. Let's run." (Naofumi)
We quickly escaped.
"Like I'll let youuuuuuuu!" (Ren)
Ren is boldly attacking Gaelion. Energetically. I myself wish to pass on attacking in such a situation. Such work is for Heroes.
"I will become stronger than anyone. Yes...my desire has no limit...I will awaken to even more power in this place and defeat you, my desire has no limit! Feeding off of desire, I will become the strongest. Awaken power, triumph, prepare equipment, collect gold, increase power, become the strongest of all, everything wishes for me!" (Ren)
Is his head okay? This guy.
How many times are you gonna say the same thing? Desire, desire, annoying.
Awakening powers? You've already awakened as the Hero of the Sword.... Do you become that ridiculous if the curse erodes far enough? There's only a painful guy left now.
...Somehow, I've distinguished what curse Ren committed.
--Greed.
But I wonder why. It feels like a very pitiably small Greed. It's hard to call that Greed.
Greed is so to say, a bottomless desire, right? To want anything and everything, desire with no bounds.
In Ren's case, it can be summarized by his wanting to become strong. Of course, I'm not saying that is not a desire. But, guys truly driven by desire are more unsightly, coveting anything and everything.
After all, to be involved with just power... ah, I see, I understand why.
If I had to say, the process was the objective.
Desire is obtaining something because you want it. This has been obtained, but you also want that other one. That kind of feeling.
But in Ren's case, becoming strong is his intent, and the reason he wants to become strong is not to attain something else. The result and process are reversed.
I understand all the more because I've had a similar experience. Previously, when I was peddling... I should have been earning gold to get equipment, but my objective simply became earning gold, something like that. Would the Curse Series lend power even to this degree?
That would also become the reason why it can't beat my rage. No matter how much you increase the power of the Curse, with that Greed, you cannot beat my rage. That is a transient Greed.
"I am the strongest hero who will save the worldddddd! Obediently admit your defeatttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!" (Ren)
