Chapter 72

====

"Stop!"There was no time to figure out what the situation was.

―Woo woo woo!

The hands of the Assassins shone everywhere.

They thought that since they were gathered together, they would naturally be able to withstand the waves.

But.

• Splash!

The waves lightly disregarded their strength and crashed over the boat.

The boat swayed in the rough waves.

The assassins hurriedly tried to grab the railing, but it was useless.

Until just a moment ago, the water they controlled like their own limbs refused their command. Rather, it choked their breath and dragged them down by their legs.

"Ugh!""In unexpected situations, a few people were swept away from their places."

Only white foam and a person resembling seaweed soaked in water were left where the waves had passed.

"What waves...!""Naturally, those selected as Alloze's Assassins are individuals with exceptional Water Manipulation Ability."

They were not people who could not withstand mere waves.

However, what they felt when they used their abilities to handle the waves was a powerful force, as if facing a gigantic wall.

"What on earth is going on?""Those who shared the same question barely held on as they looked at the waves approaching from the turbulent sea."

"That power just now was definitely Alloze's power.""The veteran Assassin, who feels the power most sensitively, said."

Recently, it was said that a monster that moves water appeared in the sea of Argenta, so it could be that, but the veteran felt it.

This was clearly a power of the same kind as what they possessed.

It's a strange thing.

This is in the middle of the sea of Argenta.

There can't be someone with the power of Alloze nearby...

"...No.""It did exist." One person.

It exists, but...

That woman must have had such insignificant strength that she couldn't even move the tea water properly.

"It can't be that woman, can it?"They denied the last possibility, but they couldn't help but be stunned by the sight of their opponent visible among the increasingly sinking waves.

"That..."The wavy hair in progressive purple, which is a symbol of Krua Alroze.

A clear and sharp gaze that shoots through a person.

That's for sure.

“Krua Alroze……?"It was Krua Alroze, who couldn't possibly have such power."

"Could it be that the wave earlier was caused by Krua Alroze?""That woman?"Those dressed in tattered clothes claiming to be pirates surely possessed the power of Alloze.

It might not have been felt if it were inland, but it was definitely felt.

The arrogance of those who dared to try to dominate this sea until just a moment ago.

Weak power.

"It seems they are surprised."Dielo smiled softly as he made eye contact with them.

The author..."Is it because of my strength?" The gaze of the Alloze Assassins, who had been focused only on me, turned to Dielo.

Their eyes widened.

“Dielo Argenta!"For a moment they were surprised, but they quickly calculated the current situation."

The head of Argenta standing on the vast ocean.

A foolish flame in the middle of the water, with few ships to guard it.

"The author...!"Joy appeared on their faces.

As we prepare for war with Argenta, it seemed like they were thinking about how great the reward would be if Dielo Argenta were killed.

Their hands shone simultaneously.

• Grrr!

The water around me rippled with a rough sound.

The boat seemed to sway greatly, and soon a stream of water shot up from the sea.

―Wow!

In an instant, the stream of water, sharply cut at the end, transformed into several arrow shapes.

The moment they targeted Dielo and shot water at it.

• Thud!

A strong Water Manipulation spread out around me.

“……!And the water arrows that were approaching Dielo came to a precise stop right in front of us.

Dielo was watching it without any surprise.

As if I knew I could stop it.

“…….It was the moment he smiled brightly.

• Pababak!

I returned the water arrows to their original owners.

"Ugh!"The arrow, imbued with a strength far beyond what they possessed, lifted their bodies several meters off the ground and sent them flying.

"What is it!""Those who barely escaped shouted in confusion."

But I had no intention of leaving them as they were.

It was when I moved the large spear-shaped water.

"I'll take care of the rest."Dielo's hand carefully covered my eyes. A warm warmth approached from behind.

“Dielo?I blinked.

I hesitated between the small warmth and darkness he created.

"You don't want to hurt people, do you?""I opened my eyes wide at that voice."

"That is...""Before I possessed him, the original Krua must have killed someone."

Even I have a history of using water to harm someone.

But.

"Even if you've killed, you don't want to see that sight."I slightly opened my mouth at Dielo's words.

How did you know?

No one would have thought that the villainess Krua was such a person.

But Dielo was speaking as if it were a matter of course.

"So, rather than something rough, the priest..."Dielo turned me away from the railing. And I removed the hand that covered my eyes.

The face of Dielo, turned away from the sunset, was visible. He gently smiled and kissed my forehead.

"Are you looking at something pretty?"In his hand, a massive spear ignited as he spoke.

It was something I had seen before.

“Dielo.When he killed the monster that used water magic.

At that time, like back then, Dielo shot the spear without hesitation.

-Hwaruk!

Fire burning on the sea.

At first glance, it might have felt weak enough to extinguish quickly.

But the reality was different.

―Phew!

A fierce sound passed by me along with a wave of heat.

But even if I burn the railing, the flames did not scorch a single thread of my clothes or a strand of my hair.

Dielo, which tightly embraced me, threw a series of spears made of flames.

"This is... this is...!"The Assassins of Alloze, shocked by the absurdity of the situation, quickly dwindled in number.

Amid the terrifying sounds of explosions, screams echoed.

"That's ridiculous!" The power of Dielo Argenta!Dielo seemed to have no intention of hiding its strength even in front of Alloze.

Of course. They won't be able to escape from this place, not even one of them.

It was the moment I clenched my fist tightly.

"Eeeeee...!""It was when I thought that the angry voice echoed strangely around."

―Woo woo woo!

The water around began to resonate in response to that voice.

The moment I opened my eyes wide in surprise.

A wave filled with blue Magical Power crashed towards us.

In front of them, several Alloze, clearly suffering from fatal wounds, were laughing with bloodied teeth exposed.

In an instant, the wave that had grown in size showed a hint of red.

A fishy smell brushed against my nose.

No way, the Power of Origin?

"It's over!"Joy was visible on those faces.

As if I cannot die alone, it seems extremely satisfying to take Dielo and me as companions on the road to the afterlife.

Crazy bastards!

I quickly gathered Magical Power. To think of eliminating the waves.

-Pah!

At the same time, it seemed that a shining light was piercing near their necks.

But perhaps because many gathered for the Power of Origin, one by one, the Alloze Assassins were passing away with pale complexions.

“……!Amidst the enormous blue waves that seemed to engulf the ship, a red wave undulated in the shape of a sword.

―Kukwakwa-kwang!

“Krua!"It seemed like the surprised Dielo had spread a curtain of fire around us."

It seemed like I saw Rick running towards me.

• Crack!

But the dark red sword crossed over the boat, separating Rick from us more quickly.

The moment the sword created from Alloze cleanly sliced through the belly.

• Splash!

The wave, united by the power of Alloze, crashed over us.

I can't swim.

The moment I thought that, Dielo hugged me tightly.

“……!The moment our eyes met.

• Splash!

We fell into the sea just as we were.
