Chapter 176 : Words cut to pieces

Shin was running at high speed.

“So by borrowing the body of a Love Fairy, thou hast temporarily come back to life, Great Spirit Mother. Though thou may have regained thy memory and appearance, the dwarfish body of a Love Fairy cannot provide thee with much magic power.” Nosgalia proclaimed loudly.

Once she realized that she was already dead, and that she was borrowing the body of the Love Fairy Fran, Reno would have no choice but to disappear. He said all that to drive that point home.

But Reno wasn’t frightened.

She must’ve already realized that. It was only a matter of time before she would disappear.

“No matter how many times thou try, it is futile. The eyes of a god have no blind spots. Know that I wilt never lose sight of thee again.” (Nosgalia)

It was then that the Heavenly Father caught sight of Shin with his Magic Eyes, and invoked a divine miracle.

Just as before, Shin vanished without a trace.

It was as if he had been spirited away.

“Even if the eyes of a god have no blind spots, there are things in this world that don’t exist as long as you see them!” Reno declared.

This was the power of the Wolf of Hiding Gennul—

The power of this mysterious spirit was to vanish from existence itself as long as one tried to see him with their eyes, and right now, that power was dwelling in Shin’s body.

“Haha!” Nosgalia let out a dry chuckle and closed his eyes.

At that moment, Shin reappeared and picked up the God-Slasher from the ground.

“The power of a god is absolute. Though thou may evade one or two of my powers, it wilt not change your destinies.” (Nosgalia)

While Nosgalia kept talking, Shin used that opening to close the distance between them.

He swung down the God-Slasher, which was then intercepted with the Divine Sword Roduier.

But the difference in skill between the two foes was so great, Shin easily flicked the Divine Sword away.

While Roduier was spinning in midair, Shin’s demon sword turned reddish-black.

He activated the Second Secret: Reaper of the God-Slasher, and swung it at Nosgalia’s neck to decapitate him.

“The swordsmanship of a god is unrestrained.” (Nosgalia)

The Divine Sword Roduier, which was supposed to still be whirling in the air, repelled Gneodoros as if it had a will of its own.

“Fear it. Worship it. This is what the Divine Sword is capable of. Without requiring any action from me, my Divine Sword wilt slaughter any enemies who disobey a god. The sword of a demon, which depends on the user’s skill, can never be compared with this miracle.” (Nosgalia)

Roduier flew through the air.

Though Shin blocked its incoming lightning-fast thrust, it used that momentum to spin around and slash him from below.

Shin anticipated it and took a step back, but Roduier didn’t leave him any time to breathe.

It moved away from Nosgalia, and single-mindedly kept attacking Shin with lightning-fast thrusts.

It was faster than the eye could see.

Since it didn’t have the limitations of an actual body, its attacks were unrestrained.

The fact that Shin was able to handle the godly speed of that blade with only two demon swords was a testament of his abilities.

However, if nothing was done, he would tire out.

“…Please, everyone… Lend us your strength. Your magic power, your strength… Please lend them to me and Shin—” (Reno)

Reno channeled her thoughts into the magic circle she drew with both arms.

Though she could draw it, the Love Fairy Fran didn’t possess enough magic power.

However, particles of magic began to gather where she stood, and her whole body glowed green.

“Titi.” Reno called out a spirit’s name.

Small winged fairies appeared next to Shin, who was battling Roduier.

“Let’s play!” (Titi A)

“Let’s play, Mr. Swordsman!” (Titi B)

“We came along!” (Titi C)

“Let’s all play together!” (Titi D)

Nosgalia glared at the spirits who had suddenly appeared.

“Minuscule spirits, ye shalt be punished for defiling the presence of a god.” (Nosgalia)

Roduier sliced a Titi fairy.

However, her body split in two like mist, then there were two of her.

“Kyahaha!” (Titi A)

“I got cut!” (Titi B)

“When we get sliced, there’s more of us!” (Titi C)

“Anybody knows that!” (Titi D)

Ignoring the Titi who were laughing their lungs out, Roduier drew near Shin.

Just as he was about to block it, golden flames erupted from the ground and bound his limbs.

“Let justice be done.” (Nosgalia)

At Nosgalia’s command, Roduier sliced Shin in two.

However, this time it was <b>his</b> body that split like mist, and reformed into two of him.

Just as before, Tit’s power was dwelling inside Shin.

“Mr. Meanie!” (Titi A)

“Over here!” (Titi B)

“Follow the sound” (Titi C)

“of my handclaps!” (Titi D)

The Titi fairies multiplied one after another, and the next moment, they all turned into Shin.

“We’re playing tag!” (Titi A)

“The big bad god is ‘It’!” (Titi B)

“And if you get caught…” (Titi C)

“You die!” (Titi D)

More than thirty Shins appeared and disappeared everywhere, closing in on Nosgalia.

Roduier sliced them, but all it did was increase the number of Shins.

“Such behavior is a most despicable affront to a god. I sentence you all to burn at the stake.” (Nosgalia)

As Nosgalia uttered those words, a huge magic circle was drawn on the ground.

Its magic characters transformed into golden flames, creating countless fire pillars.

“Lignon!” (Reno)

As Reno raised her voice, the eight heads of the water dragon emerged from behind her. Lignon turned her body into water itself, and plunged head first into the golden flames.

The water stream, imbued with the dragon’s power, collided head-on with the divine flames, intertwining and canceling each other out.

“Gigadeith!” (Reno)

A dwarf fairy appeared on Reno’s shoulder and swung down her mallet.

Then, a lightning bow and arrow appeared in Reno’s hands.

She clipped the arrow to the bow and pulled as hard as she could.

When she released it, a violent thunderclap resounded, and the lightning bolt shot through Nosgalia’s body.

“May the divine flames burn thee to death.” (Nosgalia)

Without paying any mind to the lightning strike, Nostalgia uttered his miracle-inducing words.

The enhanced golden flames coiled around the eight-headed dragon, and unilaterally vaporized her with its divine magic power.

“Cenetello!” (Reno)

Faint green lights cling to Lignon.

Then, as if to say her wounds were healed, a great amount of water overflowed from the water dragon’s body.

“O foolish spirits. Do ye plan to defy a god and perish for it?” (Nosgalia)

“The spirits won’t lose to the likes of a god! I will protect Shin! I definitely will!” (Reno)

“To protect or not to protect, that is not the question. Only order is.” (Nosgalia)

Nosgalia gently flapped the wings of light on his back.

Then, the entire area was instantly engulfed in golden flames.

“O foolish spirits ignorant of the gods. Carve the reason of this world into your memories.” (Nosgalia)
