Chapter 71 – Thunder Break of Anger

I pushed through the rain of ice, but a large number of ice blocks attacked me. I crushed them with Gale Tulle. Even if it’s frozen, I can still use it somehow.

Even so… d*mn it, I can’t make it in time…!

Wagner has gone quite far ahead. At this rate, Skor will――huh?

Suddenly, a golden light blew away the “Freeze Storm” and neutralizes it. N-No way!

“Mmmm!!”

The rain of ice was instantly blown away, and the visibility became good. That sparkling golden glitter. There’s no mistake about it.

It’s the latest weapon I gave Alfred, the “Golden Broom Goltblum”. It’s amazing—it has taken the form of a splendid “sword” now and has manifested itself.

It has transformed into a transparent and golden crystal sword like a phantom crystal sword. How beautiful. Who would have thought a mere broom could become such an artistic sword!

“W-what… what happened!”

“You must not go there, Wagner-sama.”

“A-Alfred! I heard that you wandered around the Dvorak empire like a vagrant about a week ago, and ended up going mad and jumping into the port… after that, you were caught in a storm and went missing. Normally, you would die.”

“That level of storm was just a gentle breeze. And I wasn’t wandering around. I was looking for Rasty-sama. And then, I realized… he’s no longer in the Dvorak Empire. So, jumped into the sea.”

“Are you mad?! Is there any value in saving such a foolish brother?!”

“It’s not about whether there is value or not. It’s about whether I want to follow Rasty-sama or not.”

Alfred released an astonishing magical power and unleashed the “Golden Broom Goltblum”. Even Wagner was intimidated by its power and defended himself with an ice wall.

Well done, Alfred. Thanks to you, he’s full of gaps.

“Wagner!! You will fall with this!!”

“Guh, are you going to attack from behind!? That’s cowardly!!”

“Is there such a thing as cowardice or crap in battle?!”

The freezing effect of the weapon disappeared, and it returned to its original state.

It seems that the abnormal status freeze will be naturally released in five minutes. It’s over now.

“Sto-stop… Rasty. We’re brothers!”

It’s times like this that he conveniently says we’re brothers. Of course, I won’t show any mercy. I can’t forgive him for aiming at Skor. Right now, “anger” was boiling up inside me.

I gathered strength in my hand and concentrated wind attribute skills into Gale Tulle. Soon, an immense amount of electricity crackled and surged around me. I swung my weapon with all my might and pierced through with my technique――!

“Thunder Break!!!”

A pale but intense lightning strike was released from Gale Tulle. The lightning struck Wagner’s back at the speed of light. Now, Alfred’s attack and mine have caught him in a pincer attack.

“Gahaaaa!!”

Direct hit. A massive explosion ensues as the attacks collide. It wouldn’t end well to receive two powerful attacks unscathed. When the dust settles, there lies Wagner, collapsed on the ground.

He must have been seriously injured. As I approached to confirm, the Vice Commander wearing that robe protected Wagner. Come to think of it, he didn’t move a single step, probably because Wagner ordered him not to interfere.

While observing the situation, the Vice Commander took off his hood and reveals his face… Th-this person!
