Ch 177 - Damsel Yami
Alex grumbled in annoyance and turned to look at Yami who was still sleeping.
Yami was not just his captain, he was someone that he respected and saw as an elder brother figure. If the ritual had been dangerous to him in any way, he would have definitely looked for some other way.
As for William on the other side... let's just say that he saved him on a whim, doing a good deed.
Alex destroyed the thing covering Yami and breaking him free.
"Ughh."
A groan sounded from the sleeping Yami followed by a loud yawn.
"Mmm..." He blinked a couple of times letting his eyes adjust to the light.
"EH!" He blinked again realizing that Moris and the room he was in had disappeared.
'What the heck? Was I not just in some weird coffin thingy?'
"Nice to see you up, Yami."
Hearing a familiar voice and turning his head to the side, Yami's eyes widened when he recognized the smiling young man standing next to him.
"Asta?" He asked doubting if this was even real.
"Heh, the one and only." He grinned and held his hand out. "Welcome back, Captain. You are still so chill about everything as always."
But instead of gratitude, the first thing to come out of Yami's mouth was something unexpected to him.
"...Couldn't you have saved me sooner?"
"...Excuse me?" Alex was dumbfounded by his sentence.
"Asta." Yami sighed and placed his hand on Asta's shoulder. "Do you have any idea how hard it is to hold back the urge to take a dump for an entire week?"
'What? Just what the hell kind of bullshit is he talking about?'
Yami on the other hand, ignored Alex's twitching expression and continued with his nonsense. "If you had come even a second later, my sheer need to drop a turd would have forced me to surpass my limits and escape."
Yami paused for a moment and showed a sad expression, continuing. "Now what kind of position would that put you in? Imagine it. After training your ass off and fighting off all kinds of creepy guys, you find out that the captain you risked your life to save just walked out by himself? Wouldn't that just break your little heart? Knowing that all the pain and effort you put yourself through was for nothing?"
'Oh... I get it. That fucker Moris must have done something to his brain. He sure likes to do some shit experiment on his subjects.'
"Tsk tsk." He shook his head. "But what kind of captain would I be if I didn't give my subordinates the chance to show off? If anything, you should be thanking me for giving you the opportunity to save me."
Alex wanted to curse but he realized that even that might not have any reaction on Yami so he could only sigh and say. "...You sure are talking a lot of shit for someone who was a damsel mere moments ago."
"Gurghhhh!... Aarrhhh!"
Yami and Alex's conversation was disturbed by screams from Moris
"How is this guy still alive?"
"Y'know, I've actually been wondering that myself."
Standing over the body of the screaming Moris, the two speculated on his incredible vitality.
"You ever seen something like this before?" Alex asked.
"Nah, this is a new level of weird."
"Well, shit... How long do you think he'll last?"
"Hmm... 50 Yul, says 2-5 minutes?"
"...I'll take that bet!"
While the two gambled on his fate, the remaining side of Moris's brain that could understand them wailed in agony.
"Hey." Watching the guy screaming in agony, Yami spoke up. "Don't you think you went a bit too far with the whole 'Destroying half of his body schtick?'"
"Would you believe me if I told you that I was honestly just trying to kill him?" Alex shrugged his shoulders and said.
"...No." Yami carefully looked at the Moris who was screaming like a pig being on the slaughter board and answered.
Alex could not help but ask. "What?! Why not?"
Yami shrugged his shoulder and replied. "As if a psycho like you would fail to kill someone."
Alex chuckled and nodded his head. "That's... the nicest thing someone's ever said to me."
"Gurghhhh!" Moris's throat made a weird gurgling noise.
"Oh, he's still kicking... You owe me 50 yul." Alex watched the poor magic scholar and said to Yami.
"Heh." Yami suddenly smiled. "Double or nothing."
"...Why not." Alex followed.
Meanwhile, on Yuno's side
After making the deal with Beelzebub, Zenon's strength skyrocketed to another level and he was able to compete with Yuno.
'So what if you are a royal! In front of a devil, it does not mean a damn thing!' Zenon thought angrily.
Thrusting his hand out and extending his fingers, numerous bone whips flew out from his back and shot straight toward Yuno at blinding speeds.
"!!!"
Faced with the fast-approaching bone whips, Yuno followed Zenon's example by thrusting his own arm forward. With the added effect of making the wind flap the bottom of his coat up, he looked like a hero straight out of a fairy tale.
'Star Magic: Quartile Scutum'
Deploying four stars and arranging them into a rectangular shape, four beams of white light burst out from the stars and connected them to each other. Connected along the edges of the rectangle, the inside of the rectangle hardened with starlight and formed a powerful barrier.
Watching as his bone whips slammed into Yuno's barrier without causing the slightest bit of damage, the corners of Zenon's lips fell. But he was not going to lose so easily.
'Spatial Magic: Spatial Mana Domination!!'
Yuno suddenly found himself trapped inside a cube-like subspace separated from the outside world.
'This again...'
Cautious of Yuno's defensive barrier, Zenon intentionally made it so that no stars were trapped inside the cube with him.
Now Yuno was truly defenseless!
'It is over!'
Using 'Endless Fangs' to cover the inside of the cube with sharpened bone spears, Zenon attacked Yuno from every direction.
'DIE!!'
Trapped in the center of the cube and watching as the endless number of bone spears closed in on him
But alas, Zenon had made a mistake.
Trapping Yuno inside the spatial barrier was good but leaving out his stars was a pretty bad idea.
Yuno smiled and instantly waved his fingers into a beautiful arc.
'Star Magic: Conjunction'
Yuno vanished from inside the barrier in the blink of an eye causing Zenon's eyes to turn wide.
Soundlessly blinking back into existence, Yuno actually emerged behind Zenon.
A star hung above Yuno's head as he gripped the [Spirit of Zephyr].
"Star Magic: Quartile Hasta!"
Wordlessly activating his next spell, Yuno shot a beam of condensed starlight at the devil Zenon.
Zenon watched helplessly as a huge beam of concentrated starlight tore away the upper right half of his torso before he could even blink his eye.
'His magic... it is actually faster than my reaction time!'
"Oi Zenon." Yuno suddenly recalled his training with Alex and grinned, his smile resembling like his brother's.
"I'm gonna crush you!"
