Standing at the entrance of the kagura hall was my little sister Futaba.

Why! Variants are supposed to have a human dispersing effect!

「Luck is still with me! Everyone, stay where you are!」

Kagutsuchi, who had his flame sword out again, was about to thrust it to Futaba. He intends to take her as a hostage!

Damn……why must he be so close to Futaba.

If Futaba is taken hostage, it will be extremely troublesome.

I tripled the flow of magic power in my body but only in my legs.

I feel an intense pain as my muscles are torn apart but this is not the time to worry about it.

I made magic power explode behind me to accelerate even more.

From where I am, throwing a flying tool might engulf Futaba.

I have to slash the flame sword before it can hit Futaba!

Kagutsuchi is only 10 steps away from her and he’s only pointing his sword on her.

I’m much faster than him but I’m not sure if I can make it in time!?

All of these happened in less than a blink of an eye—

At the same time I jumped out, the Kusanagi sword, which had fallen to the floor, flew at a high speed and cut off Kagutsuchi’s arm.

Susanoo was the one who did it!

He may have been trying to get me to defeat Kagutsuchi but I’m thankful for that!

I managed to get in between Futaba and Kagutsuchi and the first thing I did was stun her with magic while applying a defensive barrier on her.

Next, I cut off Kagustsuchi’s other arm.

「Kuh—」

Kagutsuchi rushes back down but Yui’s already there.

「Haaa!!」

Yui activated her divine object and pierced Kagutsuchi’s waist with a kick.

Although it wasn’t able to cut Kagutsuchi in two, it was a good hit since she managed to do so before he could use his substitution.

「Damn!」

Kagutsuchi staggered slightly as he failed to activate his substitution.

Yui, who was still unsteady on her feet, fell to her knees but that one hit was enough!

I cut Kagutsuchi in two.

Then, chopped him into small pieces. After that, I used annihilation type magic to turn his corpse to dust.

This is because a god who controls flames may be reborn if he is burned. Annihilation magic is delicate to handle and consumes a lot of magic power but it can’t be helped.

The depletion of magic power causes me to weaken a lot.

As expected, I was very tired but it’s not over yet.

After gently laying Futaba on the floor, I approached Sugita while keeping a wary eye out of Susanoo, who was only a head, and his Kusanagi sword on the floor.
