Chapter 17 "The Strongest Protagonist"
.
Part 1
"——Here I go."
When Livia mutters this briefly, the equipment of the royal ship that loaded into Licorne reacts strongly.
Using energy also obtained from the sacred tree, Licorne amplified Livia's power.
Creare was surprised when she saw Livia.
[This power is a little unexpected.]
Licorne was enveloped in a pale white light by Livia's power, which even Creare had not anticipated.
Naturally, the approaching monsters will not escape unscathed.
The monsters in the distance and even those within a few kilometers radius of Licorne were obliterated and did not even generate black smoke.
Even after blowing away the gathered monsters, Licorne still did not lose her radiance.
Ange was surprised at the sight.
"Isn't it overwhelming. Livia, what on earth are you——"
Livia smiles at Ange.
"I don't know either. But for now——If this power can help Leon-san"
It is not a power that Livia would like to use very much, but there is no reason to hesitate for Leon's sake.
As she extends her left hand and points it forward, Licorne's radiance increases.
Licorne was unable to withstand Livia's power output and began to vibrate slightly.
Kara was surprised as she clung to Marie.
"It's shaking, what is happening?"
Although Livia had clearly been told nothing about her own abilities, she naturally understood what she needed to do next.
Instinct teaches Livia how to use her powers.
White particles of light gather around Licorne and begin to take shape.
Its appearance resembled that of Livia.
The deformed form was simple, yet had the appearance of a woman.
Only the eyes stand out pale on the face.
The giant, shining white figure of Livia was born with Licorne at its center.
If the monsters get close, they will be blown away, and if they are allies, they will slip through.
The kingdom's army, seeing this, all spoke up through the line.
"She's like a Saint——no, a Goddess."
"The Goddess of Victory!"
"Hail to the Goddess!"
Only this time, for the kingdom, Livia was the goddess of victory.
As the monsters disappeared, the kingdom's army cheered.
But Livia's burden was heavy.
If she let her guard down, she would collapse at any moment.
Ange supports Livia.
"Don't overdo it."
"Thank you. But I'm not going to overdo it for now."
"Use my power too."
Ange gripped Livia's hand so tightly that red particles of light gathered around Licorne.
They coiled around the giant Livia.
The giant of light wears a red dress and thrusts her left hand forward, and several magic circles are deployed in front of her.
The size of the magic circle is huge, with a radius of several hundred meters.
What was released from the magic circle were arrows of light.
Thousands, tens, and hundreds of thousands of them hit Arcadia.
Arcadia hurriedly deployed its magic barrier.
However, the magic barrier was also broken through, and the arrows landed on the main body of Arcadia, causing an explosion.
With just one attack, Arcadia's defenseless fortress was greatly weakened.
Marie, seeing what was happening, was astonished at the overwhelming strength.
"A-Amazing! If we keep going like this, we might just win!"
But Livia was not optimistic.
"We don't have much time. We have to fetch Leon-san quickly."
From the footage, it was clear that Arroganz was in tatters.
When Revere closed her eyes, she saw the scenery outside through the eyes of Livia, the giant of light outside of Licorne.
"Found him!"
There is a battered Arroganz on the deck of the fortress.
Arcadia was focused on them and had not touched Arroganz.
Livia raises her voice.
"Get away from Leon-san!!"
.
Part 2
"Go awaaaay!"
A huge gathering of light particles in the shape of a woman reached out to Arcadia.
Mia quickly puts her hands out in front of her.
"Could it be, Olivia-san!?"
Mia had deployed multiple magic barriers.
However, it was easily breached by the giant of light.
As they hurriedly avoided it, the giant of Livia withdrew its hand.
Arcadia, who had been shown the overwhelming power, was shaken, unable to comprehend the scene before it.
[What's this? Is she really one of the old humans?! Impossible. Even for new humans —— this would be impossible!]
Arcadia, having given up on analyzing Livia, tells Mia to finish it quickly.
[Princess-sama, taking too long will put us at a disadvantage. Use that one more time]
That is an attack with maximum output.
Mia can immediately release an attack as powerful as Arcadia's main gun.
However, she has yet to gather enough magic elements to fire in rapid succession.
"I have confirmed that there is Ricorne in the center of the giant —— no, in the chest area. If we target that area and destroy it, that giant should disappear as well."
As Mia pointed her right hand at Licorne, Arcadia's thorns pointed in the same direction.
"I don't hold a grudge against you —— but Mia can no longer forgive everything! If you took Knight-sama away from Mia, then let Mia take yours away too!!"
Red-black light gathers and is then released.
The destructive power of that single shot has been seen many times before.
Since it was then concentrated and fired, the power was greater than ever.
Yet the giant Livia brushed it off with her right hand.
The reddish-black sphere changed direction and landed far away, causing a huge explosion.
A column of water rises and the ocean surface creates a shock wave, creating a tsunami.
The magic creature was trembling with wide eyes.
[Y-You've got to be kidding me! There's no way it could be avoided that way!]
Perhaps it was so unreasonable a way of dealing it that they couldn't help but get angry.
As the giant Livia spreads her arms, Livia's voice is heard.
"We're going to help you now, Leon-san"
Then, thousands of magic circles appeared, from which magic was shot one after another.
Fire balls, water balls, lightning balls, light balls, and many other kinds of magic were shot at high power.
Mia immediately tried to avoid them by moving up, but all the magic was pursuing her.
In order to avoid them, she released magic to intercept them, but she was not able to intercept them in time and was blown away by hundreds of magic shots.
"Kuh!"
As they moved away from the fortress part of Arcadia, the giant Livia covered Arroganz on deck with their arms as if to protect it.
No expression can be read on the simplified giant's face.
But she was surely smiling.
She was lovingly embracing Arroganz —— Leon in her arms.
Mia couldn't allow that.
"You killed Knight-sama, but you guuuys!"
When the attack is released again at maximum output, a new head emerges from the giant Livia's back.
It's a woman with long hair.
The giant Livia rounds her back and bends forward to allow the woman on her back to move easily.
The woman emerged from its upper body and spread its arms to block Mia's attack.
It exploded, but the new female giant was unharmed.
After many unreasonable situations, Arcadia begins to tremble with anger.
[Why is there a being in this era who overpowers me and the princess? There can't be a being who surpasses the new human!]
From Arcadia's point of view, it was so overwhelming that it was a wonder why the Kingdom's army had not used it at the beginning of the war.
A new female giant stretches out her arms and grabs Arcadia.
Mia tried to escape, but couldn't, and was caught and went on a rampage, frustrated by the strength of the giant.
[Are you saying that you were holding back from the start? That is definitely unforgivable!]
They rampage around, destroying the female giant's hands to escape, and then accelerate to escape into the sky.
And then, from atop the giant —— he launched an attack aimed at Arroganz.
"I'll teach you the pain of losing someone you love right in front of your eyes."
The attacks that rained down on Arroganz were so powerful that even one hit would be fatal.
Then, the female giant covers Arroganz to protect it.
The female giant blocked all of the attacks, protecting Arroganz.
[Let's keep going like this, Princess-sama!]
Arcadia also cooperated, hitting the female giant one-sidedly.
As Mia continues to attack, a female giant sticks out one of her arms.
The one arm extended to where Mia and the others were and hit them.
At that time, I heard the voice of Angers.
"I'll never forgive anyone who messes with Leon."
The burning anger was conveyed.
Mia and the others were grabbed and thrown directly into the sea.
Slammed into the sea, they found themselves far away from the battlefield.
The overwhelming difference was shown.
Mia shed tears for her disappointing self and her unreasonable enemy.
"There's no way I can deal that. To think Mia can't even avenge Knight-sama."
Gritting her teeth and clenching her hands, Mia floated up again.
"Even if Mia die here, Mia will avenge Knight-sama—"
However, there was something strange about the situation.
She emerged and faced the giant Livia again, but the shape of her opponent's form was blurred.
It looked like it was going to disappear at any moment.
Seeing this, Arcadia realized the weakness of the giant Livia.
[That's its limit! If that much magic were to be created, that much energy would be required. So no matter how many sacred trees they prepare, it is impossible to keep them in operation for hours.]
Arcadia was even relieved to see the unreasonable being disappear.
Seeing the giant Livia disappear, Mia immediately flew to Arcadia's deck.
The tattered parts were crumbling, and Arcadia was getting smaller.
The magic element had been depleted, and it could no longer sustain its appearance.
Still, it had more than enough power to destroy Aroganz.
"——Now there's no one to get in the way, right."
Mia goes to finish off Leon.
.
Part 3
"Luxion——What's the situation?"
With my body unable to move, I couldn't properly ascertain the situation.
Luxion tells me what's going on around me.
[The surviving drones have been gathered together. We are currently maintaining Arroganz]
It seems that they are maintaining it so that it will at least be possible to move around.
I had the container on the back of Arroganz.
I check to confirm that Julius and the others are safe.
"Are they safe?"
[——The concentration of the magic element is so high, and it has not been confirmed.]
"I hope they're alive. If they die, I'll have a bad night's sleep."
I'm getting worried because I can't confirm that those guys are safe.
We've been in inseparable relationship, but they weren't basically bad guys.
I hated them when I was playing that otome game, but when I got to know them, they were different.
When I actually got to know them, they were surprisingly nice guys.
——I wish we could have been closer.
I raised my head and looked at the monitor, and saw Arroganz clutching the Brave's Longsword.
"If Finn were alive, I'm sure he would ask me to save Mia-chan."
I knew it was unnecessary, and Luxion strongly objected.
[There is no need for Master to go that far! Aren't you already at your limit?]
It's true that I've reached my limit, but if I abandon Mia-chan now - I won't be able to face Finn in the afterlife.
"Either way, we have no choice but to stop Mia-chan."
Thanks to Livia's power, we managed to find some time.
But it seems they weren't able to defeat them completely.
On the deck of Arcadia, Mia comes down.
The figure was not the piercing figure I had seen earlier.
It was Mia's figure.
But it was a silvery figure, looking as if it were clad in burly black armor.
She was wearing a breastplate to cover her left breast, where one of Arcadia's eyes remained.
When the drones stepped forward to protect me, they were easily destroyed by Mia.
Even though they are smaller, they are a difficult opponent for me to deal with right now.
"Luxion, this is my last order——give me the drug."
If I don't stop Mia-chan here, I can't predict what will happen after she kills me.
There is a possibility that Arcadia will tempt her to burn the kingdom to the ground.
I'm sure Mia-chan can do that much now.
To stop her, I had to do my best one more time.
Luxion didn't reply.
He was probably looking for a reason to refuse.
To my partner——I say.
"If things continue like this, it won't have a beautiful ending, right? Saving Mia-chan will be the happy ending. No, it's better, I guess?"
If I were to compare it to a game, the ending would be almost like a bad ending.
Even though I cleared the game, it was still a rather unpleasant ending.
It's a very typical ending for me.
Luxion asks me.
[Is that where Master's happiness lies?]
My happiness? ——Maybe, but I think it lies ahead.
I smile as much as I can when Luxion asks me.
"I've always wondered why we were reincarnated into this world. Surely there must be a reason, right? It doesn't matter if there isn't. If there isn't, then I have no choice but to make one. I couldn't save them all, but I still wanted a better outcome. And for me, that's a pretty good happy ending."
[Is it a spirit of self-sacrifice? I don't understand. Master is foolish.]
"You didn't know? I've been a fool since the beginning."
It is said that the soul is reborn many times until it attains enlightenment.
That's why a worldly-minded person like me keeps getting reincarnated.
Was it a Buddhist idea? Well, it doesn't matter now.
If I can think that my life has a meaning, I'll feel a little better.
Whether it was a misunderstanding or not, I can say that my life had meaning.
"I beg of you——partner. This is probably my last order."
[——No. If this continues, Master——Master's life will be]
It was probably not my imagination that Luxion's red eyes looked sad.
I begged Luxion.
"Then this is a request. Lend me your strength —— partner."
When I stop the order and plead for help, Luxion replies in a trembling electronic voice.
[I-I will begin administering the drug.]
I was given a strengthening drug for the third time.
An intense pain hit me throughout my body, and I couldn't bear it and ended up vomiting blood.
Still, strangely enough, I gradually started to feel better.
My body, which had been painful to even move until just now, was now filled with strength.
Standing Arroganz up, I had Brave's longsword at the ready.
When Mia-chan saw the longsword, she was shaking from anger.
"Give back Knight-sama and Buu-kun's sword!"
Now that I'm energized, I behave like I normally do to Mia.
"Then try to take it back, you stubborn tomboy!"
I stepped firmly on the floor with both of my spare feet and swung the longsword down.
A little girl catches the blow.
"Luxion, can you rip Arcadia away from Mia-chan?"
When I checked to see if I could help Mia-chan, Luxion had already started analyzing.
[Currently investigating.]
Mia kicked the floor, jumped up, and swung wide to hit Arroganz, who took it with the longsword and stepped back.
It was a powerful blow that didn't seem like it came from a girl's fist.
.
Part 4
Inside the Arcadia Fortress, Finn wakes up with an injured left arm.
When Finn wakes up, he holds his left arm with a look of anguish on his face.
"Why am I here——Kurosuke!?"
Finn sat up from the pain and realized that Brave was already gone from this world.
Finn sheds tears.
"That idiot."
At that time——.
Finn is here because Brave saved him.
Finn, angry at the destruction of the reactor, chased Leon even though he no longer had any need to fight.
Before rushing out of the reactor room, which is engulfed in explosions.
"He's the only one——that I will definitely!"
Finish off. Brave seemed to feel threatened by Finn, who seemed to have forgotten his original purpose.
However, neither Finn nor Brave could stop fighting here.
They can't back down for Mia's sake.
[Buddy, this is where we say goodbye]
"Kurosuke?"
Before he could ask what he was talking about, Finn was ejected from Brave.
Protected by a magic barrier prepared by Brave, Finn slowly descended.
He hadn't noticed due to the effects of the drug, but his left arm had been injured in the battle with Arroganz.
"Why? Why would you betray me!"
As Finn extended his right hand, Brave replied in a bashful, embarrassed, and sad voice.
[If things continue like this, my partner will die too. But I want you to live. So, this is where I say goodbye.]
Brave must have reached his limit long ago.
Sensing that he couldn't beat Arroganz, he was trying to let Finn escape.
"Brave, don't go!"
Brave appeared to be smiling as Finn extended his right hand.
[This is the part where you call me Kurosuke. ——I don't hate being called Kurosuke. Goodbye, buddy.]
Brave then goes outside.
——Before he knew it, Finn had escaped under the protection of Brave and his life was saved.
Finn bursts into tears.
"You should have survived, too. You should have stayed with us —— Mia? Where's Mia?"
Finn, who had just woken up and didn't know what was going on, hurried to the command center.
