Act 5-29: The End of The 1st Trial

Gil nailed down the blue-haired man with an ax kick as if he was sent flying high in the air, the blue haired man’s body literally got planted into the ground by that kick, didn’t even twitch with his face looking up.

Gil pointed the palm of his hands toward the man.

「He’s not done yet…」

Seeing Gil unleashed numerous vicious looking black flame from his hands, Chato couldn’t help but mutter so with a mix of amazement, and fear.

「We won.」

Chigi managed to somehow squeezed those words. Their opponent had literally turned into soggy charcoal, he didn’t even breath anymore. That’s just how hot the black flame fired by Gil was, he literally “Melted” his enemy’s body. The victor had already been decided.

「Hey, Chigi-san, did you see what happened a while ago?」

Chato heaved a sigh as he asked Chigi who was on stand by beside him.

「Not at all.」

Chigi shook his head, he was sweating like waterfall.

「That’s the power of the stakes, right?」

「At least that what that guy said when I received that stakes. But, rather than restricting abilities, it’s more like…」

Yes, that isn’t restricting the blue-haired man’s power anymore, it went beyond that. Those two, or should I say that Gil moved too fast for me to see. I could only barely see one of his attacks after focusing on my nerves. And the next moment, the blue-haired man had already been sent flying.

Those stakes aren’t restricting ability, it raise the user’s ability. It was only natural to regard it in that way. But something is amiss. The magic circle is clearly targeting the blue-haired man. Though I have no idea what kind of magic circle is that, it might be the reason behind GIl’s elevated abilities. That was the only explanation for the phenomenon that happened before us.

But――

Just when his train of thought went into labyrinth of mind――

「It ended. I burned him till he became nothing more than dust, that should prevent him from reviving.」

Gil turned around as he spoke such misguided remark.

「Reviving, means the restoration ability of that man right… I think he already died with your last kick.」

「Yeah. That kick literally crushed his skull after all.」

In accordance to sheep cat’s understanding, broken and twisted neck, twisted limbs and torso was enough to confirm the blue haired man’s death.

「Maybe. But, if he turned out hiding some kind of trump card which allow himself to regain his most powerful state, all of us going to die for sure.」

「Is he really that strong?」

Gil shrugged his shoulder when Chato asked that question.

「It’s thanks to the restriction of those stakes. We won thanks to those stakes, otherwise, we’re going to die.」

「No way, you must be mistaken! That’s clearly――」

「That’s enough, Chato. That guy have already dead. If I’m not wrong, Sharm should be back in a while.」

「I hope s— Eh?」

Gil suddenly fell flat on the ground.

「GIL!」

「O-Oi!」

They rushed toward Gil and checked him, finding out that Gil was still breathing.

「Let’s go back and tell everyone about our victory.」

「Do we still have to do that, Chigi-san?」

Chato pointed toward the cave with his thumb as he spoke. There was the other sheep cats looking at the three like looking at their heroes.

The corners of Chigi’s lips rose up, forming a smile as he waved to those group of sheep cat while carrying Gil with his other hand.

「WE WON!」

Those words became the trigger for the resounding cheers after that.
