Chapter 125

125 . No matter how many times

–I am quite scared of dying .

Although I have gotten used to it, I can’t get used to it completely .

I am scared to die to that extent .

My limbs that become cold .

Pain gradually fade away .

Closing my eyes, the light disappears from my sight .

Without any sense at all–what’s left behind is

『–Hero of Justice』

Only that word .

With that alone, my 『whole life』 is enough .

「Wha……!?」

The man’s voice resounds .

When I raise my face, I can see the white haired man gazing at me in surprise–if I am not mistaken, he is called as Saikyou Rinji . I am not interested, but that person is here .

「R-Recovery ability……? N-No, there’s no way you have it! Such, such power–」

「Unfortunately, it’s not a recovery–this is 【reincarnation】」

My superpower–『Braver』 .

The strongest power included in it .

That’s this 【Divine Protection of the Church】 .

In a game, the hero will revive in the church every time .

Even if he is on the verge of dying, even if he received a powerful abnormal status .

If he goes to the church, any wounds and abnormal statuses can be healed .

Even if the abnormal status is 『death』 .

「And, one more thing」

I smile and grasp my sword .

–The next moment, a strong power overflows from the depths of my body .

Another ability of the 『Braver』–【Adversity Awakening】 .

An ability which rapidly grow myself surpassing the limit when facing an overwhelming adversity .

It is a ridiculous ability as if representing the hero protagonist’s cheat, but this power and the mentioned 【Divine Protection of the Church】 . These two have an outstanding compatibility .

「Because there’s no other adversity better than death」

That’s why, the current me is way stronger than before .

Battle Rank wise……maybe 10~20 higher than before .

Well, the opponent in front of me is strong after all . It might be pointless even if my Battle Rank raised about 10~20 . I might still not be able to win .

In this 【life】, I might not be able to win .

Then .

「Now, Criminal-kun . How many times do you want to kill me?」

–No matter how many times .

I will die as many times as I like until I can win .

The heart will break when a person dies multiple times . An ordinary person will sure go crazy .

But sorry . I am broken since long ago .

There’s no way to break me even further .

That’s why .

「Be prepared . From here on, it will get muddy」

I run with my sword in my hand .

In order to burn this one life until the end .

☆☆☆.

An overwhelming intimidation surges, and two figures slides the air .

「Haaaaaa!」

「Taaaaaaa!」

Sword and fist tear the air .

The wind pressure destroys the space in tatters, the after-effect spreads to the whole building .

Even so, the two don’t mind about such thing .

There is only one feeling in both of their minds .

「–You’re in the way……I’ll crush you!」

「–Justice will be carried out! I’ll kill you」

Overflowing the space is the dense killing intent .

Kill the opponent .

Not just killing normally .

–Pulverize the opponent with overwhelming strength .

A thorough victory . An absolute murder .

There is nothing more than that .

What they wish is–only the opponent’s 『death』 .

「Haa!」

Rinji’s fist raises a roar .

Sana cuts in with her sword, but the impact transmitted from the sword, can be felt in her hand .

She frowns instinctively–the next moment, he kicks up her chin .

「–!」

「Revive……huh! I see, interesting! It’s only appropriate that that 『resurrection』 of yours has some kind of demerit or a compensation, and exhaustion! Very well, Pantheon . Let’s have a muddy war of attrition!」

Blood is spat out .

Sana who spat out blood from her mouth, glares at Rinji with blank eyes .

And–she grasps her sword .

And–she grasps her sword .

「–Full release, 【Holy Sword】!」

Suddenly, the sword she is holding, shines .

That is also one of her abilities .

Earnestly enhancing the sword she holds .

The more she enhance, the more exhausted she gets–

(I’m dying after all, so it doesn’t matter!)

She smiles with a face distorted in madness .

A full release with burning out resolution .

Right now, her sword is a genuine holy sword that can cut through everything .

Facing the divine sword like the ones from myths and legends, Rinji feels fear for the first time as he takes a distance without letting his guard down .

On the other hand, she places the holy sword on her shoulder, and smiles broadly .

「Now, let’s die together」

–And the light flickers .

What attacked him along with the roaring sound is light ray .

The beam of light unleashed from the holy sword that was swung down .

Countless beams of light combined into one, and filled his sight–facing that, Rinji smiles .

「Good, I can feel death」

Defending with both his arms, the beam of light swallowed him .

That is the violence of justice that burns everything to nothing .

Even so, Rinji who appeared from the light, stands there calmly–despite sustaining burn marks and smoke coming out from his body .

「But it’s still weak」

Sana opened her eyes wide upon seeing that–and the next moment, the rubble he kicked, hit her face .

A thick sound echoes, and she who stumbled forward, wipes her blood-stained eyes with her hand……immediately following, a knee strike draw near to her face, and she moves to dodge it . But .

「I won’t let you . Die」

Holding her head with both arms–the hit landed .

His knee pierces deeply into her face, and the sound of a person dying can be heard .

–And reincarnate .

Dazzling light envelops her body, and her flesh restores .

「–No, matter how many times」

Light returns to her eyes .

An intimidation superior than her previous one is unleashed, and Rinji who is showered with it, launches his fist .

Just like the one before, she receives it with her sword .

But she is clearly more 『harder』 than before .

Her power didn’t change–or rather, as her condition rises, her power should also increase . And yet, compared to before, composure can be seen from her . The swung fist didn’t move forward like before . The recoil from the fist is greater .

–She’s stronger than before .

「Good . You’re interesting」

I smile, and incline my head .

Suddenly, the holy sword passes through the place where my face was, and a red scar is carved on my cheek .

The first wound from another person other than the King of Black Coffin, Iwato .

Facing that, I open my eyes a little–and distort my face in ferocity .

Facing that, I open my eyes a little–and distort my face in ferocity .

「Interesting, Pantheon!」

Clenching his fist, he thrusts it to Sana’s face .

That is a blow of speed instead of power .

Even so, the blow from Rinji’s body is always 『deadly』 . Once a person suffer from the blow, the victory has already been decided .

Therefore, Sana–didn’t even try to dodge the jab .

「Shut up . And just die」

She received the fist with her face .

Her face crushes instantly, and she dies .

And, revives .

No matter how many times . Every time .

In order to win .

In order to carry out justice .

「I will revive as many times as I like」

There is no demerit in it at all .

She revives without paying any compensation at all .

She revives–with a new power in her body .

「Wha–」

A suicidal charge .

Upon seeing the unexpected attack, he opens his eyes wide–and the next moment, the holy sword cuts his body diagonally .

Although he jumped back immediately, he couldn’t dodge it completely .

Fresh blood splashes from the big wound, and upon feeling the burning pain, Rinji clenches his fist while frowning .

And, he swings his fist .

「……! Y-You, ……!」

Due to the fear he is feeling for the first time .

This woman will not die .

Even if she dies, she will keep on reviving .

She’s no hero .

She’s an immortal zombie .

–All of my resistance was useless .

I feared the figure that says my lost, my death has already been decided .

Therefore, he clenched his fist seriously .

「–Die! 『God Destroying Fist (The Deadly)』!」

That is the worst fist that destroys everything .

The fist swung with full power .

The power of the fist easily surpasses his Battle Rank, and what awaits her is–only 『death』 .

But still .

「……Hi, ii!?」

But still .

「……Hi, ii!?」

–She revives no matter how many times she dies .

In front of him is her figure standing there with the usual smile despite having a hole on her body . While leaking blood from her mouth, she laughs in madness while entrusting her body to the resurrection .

「That really hurts . It’s since Iwato-kun that I have to die 3 times against the same opponent」

Upon hearing that, Saikyou Rinji felt fear .

–And when he realized it, his right hand disappeared .

Opening his eyes wide in pain, before he can scream, his left arm disappears .

Next is his right leg . Then, his left leg–

「Say, do you remember what you said at first?」

When I realized it, I’m already on the ground .

My right arm, my left arm .

My right leg, my left leg . I can’t find them .

Opening my eyes wide to this incomprehensible situation, I look around .

And–I found it .

「Y-You, ……」

Pantheon, laughing in madness .

The thing she is holding in her left hand is……surely one of his arm .

Other than that, his left arm and both legs are rolling on the ground at her feet . The figure of laughing while holding a blood dripping right arm is–just like a Demon Lord .

「『–It’s decided . I’ll kill you first』」

Hearing that, a scream leaks from my throat .

The words that I heard before .

I remembered–or rather, I just recalled it .

「You said it, right? That you will kill me first」

「T-That, is……」

「It won’t change . I don’t plan of changing it . You will kill . You will be killed . You will be killed thoroughly」

Those eyes were distorted in madness .

「It’s often the case that a scene like the bad guy appears later after you thought that he was killed . I won’t do something like that . What I will do is kill . Pulverize until he really dies . That’s why, you don’t have to worry」

Then, she shows a broad smile .

That is badly refreshing–and inevitably cruel .

Above all, it was filled with madness .

「Now, I will take place of God to punish you」

The dazzling holy sword is swung down .

To the extent that the Demon Lord name is suitable for her–his life was reaped without hesitation .
