「I will not kill him. After all, that is the purpose of the System in this world, isn’t it? It’s not like it’s really necessary to kill him. Although I think I exceeded little bit 」
After saying that, Kagami smiled slightly at the same time the King drew his sword again while facing Kagami.
Seeing that, Kagami quickly returned to his serious expression as he faced the King.
「I’d rather not have to fight against you. So frees Krull 」
「Fu… If you’re going to try to negotiate, do it when you have the advantage. I will not release her」
「I see, in that case I will defeat you and then I’ll go for Krull」
Kagami said as he closed his fist. On the other hand, the King only started to laugh when he saw it.
「Could it be that you believes that by defeating me, the Barrier and the effects of the Brainwashing will disappear? Then it seems you have misinterpreted the situation. Nothing will change even if you defeat me 」
Almost at the same time he said those words, Kagami tried to approach the King at a great speed to catch him. However, just at the moment when Kagami was about to reach him, the King disappeared in front of Kagami, causing Kagami to grab the nothingness, at the same time that it reappeared a little further away from him.
「… Can you do the same as Estellar?」
「Something like that. To tell the truth, it is impossible for me to defeat you… However, you can not defeat me either. That’s why I give up. But you, gentleman… you can not change the world 」
After hearing that, Kagami let out a slight sigh as he turned around to the tower where Krull was. Then, he began to walk directly to the barrier that was in the middle.
「… What are you going to do?」
The King could not help frowning confused after noticing the strange behavior of Kagami.
「If you don’t intend to let us go, then I will simply destroy this barrier and go to rescue Krull on my own」
After hearing that response, the King let out a sigh at the same time he showed a disappointed look.
「It’s useless. As I said before, this barrier is capable of repelling everything that touches it. You will end up destroying your own body before you can break the barrier」
「You’ll never know until you try, isn’t it? You said you gave up, didn’t you? If I don’t have to worry about fighting against you, then I can give myself the freedom to think in a way to break this barrier. I’m sorry in advance for whatever might happen」
「It’s useless… You will not be able to overcome the System. Until the True Hero appears, until the day when the one who can give us true salvation arrives… I will not stop fulfilling my mission. It’s that simple」
「In that case… I will do it」
「… What?」
「Despite all the Powerful Individuals you have sent so far, no one has yet been able to offer you salvation, that is why you are still waiting to send more people, isn’t it? In that case… let me do it 」
The seriousness in his eyes hinted that he was not kidding. The King could not help dropping a bead of sweat after seeing the seriousness with which Kagami said such blatant words.
「What guarantees me that you will? Don’t joke…! The Salvation to which I refer is a much heavier responsibility than you think! A presumptuous brat who does not know the truth of the World… should not act so blatantly! This world is not something that can be Saved so easily! 」
「It may be, but as I said before, You’ll never know until you try, in addition, you seem to be misinterpreting a thing. This is not a proposal I make to make you get along with the Demons. This is… a bet」
「A bet? A bet can only be made when both parties have something to gain. In that case… what do you plan to offer?」
「Until now… I had never had a clear goal, everything I did was raise my level and nothing else. I was the kind of guy who would even be able to rummage through the ashes to get some Money 」
「What are you talking about?」
「You do not understand it? I want to say that I will do everything possible to save you. I, who wanted nothing more than to beat God with this, will put everything aside. I will use all the power I have cultivated so far to save you all」
「Do you think… it will be worth it?」
Kagami did not answer. But the King understood it. He felt the confidence that Kagami had about himself before he even gave him an answer.
「I don’t understand… why do you insist so much on opposing the System of this world?」
「Because that’s what I decided after seeing reality」
「After seeing reality?」
「At first… I had also resigned myself. I thought having a monotonous life where I only collected money was fine. A part of me hoped to have the opportunity to hit God some day, but I really didn’t have a real goal. Until I met them. All of them 」
「What do you mean?」
「Even though they are Demons, they still act just like humans, and even though I know they are Demons, I still want to treat them like any other Human. I love them! That’s why… I’ll protect them from the System of this World!」
Kagami shouted at the same time he hit the barrier with all his strength.
At that time, Kagami’s Arm, which had been severely damaged due to the repulsion of the barrier, began to bleed on all sides. Menou and the King, who saw such a horrible scene, could not help but wish to look away from that painful scene.
「If so, then show me that your will is able to overcome everything. Krull’s Brainwashing will soon complete. As soon as it is completed, your dreams will become impossible to fulfill. Once your Brainwashing is complete, I will not hear anything you have to say. You ideal will never come true… if you can not save Krull 」
「If so, then I will only rescue Krull before it is completed」
He, without appearing to be in the least worried about the pain, did not break his serious look, continued to hit the barrier again and again, making the sound of a great explosion ring out each time, while the damage he received began to spread throughout his body.
The King finally began to feel disconcerted with the peculiar figure of the man in front of him. He, who just moments ago was on the verge of death, beat the Barrier without rest without fear of death, and without worrying in the least by the blood that fell from his body with every blow he gave. It is strange. He seemed to have lost his mind.
At least, the King was sure that he had never seen anyone like him before.
However, he could not look away from Kagami. He wanted to see how far he would be able to go.
