7.20. Pseudo Angel
As Ashera-san, now in her Angel form, gathered her strength, her eyes, devoid of any self-awareness, focused intently. She then unleashed her pseudo-skill, “Divine Spear.”
The power seemed to have increased since I last saw it, with visible wind currents swirling around the spear, enhancing its pure destructive force.
“Yuuzen-kun!”
“I’m fine!”
Shielding Kenra-san behind me, I caught the spear with one hand. The sharp impact ran through my arm, and I had to struggle against its momentum for a while, but I managed to deflect it into the sky.
“She’s stronger than before!”
“I’ll restrain her for now!”
“Got it! ‘Substitution’!”
I cast “Substitution” on Amariaz, and we both started running. Ashera-san created a new spear with “Spear Creation,” this time aiming at Amariaz. She appeared to throw the spear, but it vanished from her hand.
“…?”
“What’s going on? Why is Ashera-san in Angel form?”
Uchikage-Ojiichan appeared out of nowhere, crushing the spear in Ashera-san’s hand with one hand.
“Amariaz, Yuuzen-kun. Can you explain?”
“We need to stop her first! The mansion will be destroyed!”
“Indeed.”
Uchikage-Ojiichan, targeting Ashera-san, moved behind her in an instant and attempted a hand strike. It should have worked perfectly, but Ashera-san remained conscious and created another spear to strike back. He caught it barehanded and crushed it again.
“It has no effect.”
Ashera-san created another spear and attacked. But Uchikage-Ojiichan immediately caught and crushed it. After four such exchanges, Ashera-san finally retreated, pointing her spear at Amariaz and Kenra.
Two “Divine Spears” were thrown with tremendous force, and despite having “Substitution” cast on him, Amariaz couldn’t withstand the impact and was blown away. Kenra-san deflected her spear with his katana, but it seemed to take everything he had to manage that.
Meanwhile, Uchikage-Ojiichan and I closed the distance. I tackled Ashera-san, and Uchikage-Ojiichan held her down from above. With his Oni strength restraining her, she couldn’t move and kept struggling, but it seemed she wouldn’t get up.
But she could still use her skills.
As we pondered what to do to keep her subdued, Lize-san showed up.
“Wha!? An angel!?”
“Lize-dono! Can you knock her out?”
“What!? Okay!?”
Lize-san approached Ashera-san and touched her back.
“‘Thunder Bind’!”
Lightning threads wrapped around Ashera-san’s body, shocking her. She convulsed for a while before finally going still, seemingly unconscious.
Lize-san probably didn’t realize it was Ashera-san and used a full-power lightning spell…
Is Ashera-san going to be okay?
As I worried about that, Uchikage-Ojiichan checked her pulse. She was still breathing, and he instructed Kenra-san to tie her up.
As long as she’s alive…
“Wait a minute, why is there an angel here!? Uchikage, explain!”
“I don’t know either. Why is Ashera-san…?”
“…Huh!? This angel is Ashera!? No way!!”
Lize-san’s reaction is understandable.
I also have no clue why Ashera-san turned into an angel.
But Amariaz seemed to know something.
Or at least, she figured something out.
“…Amariaz?”
“Help meee!”
“Amariaz!?”
Looking in the direction Amariaz was blown away, I saw him hanging from a pine tree.
He was completely stuck and just waving his hand.
How did he get stuck so perfectly…?
I should go help him.
“Why didn’t you just cut it with ‘Air Pressure Sword’?”
“This is Uchikage-Ojiichan’s precious pine tree, right? I thought he’d be mad if I cut it. Besides, things seemed to be settling down over there.”
“Well, yeah, but still?”
Creating stairs with “Air Pressure Barrier,” I approached Amariaz and helped him down.
If I hadn’t used “Substitution” on him, he would have been in a lot of pain.
Pine needles are really sharp.
“…”
“? What are you thinking, Yuuzen-kun?”
“Nothing?”
He figured it out right away…?
Oh well, let’s help him quickly.
After helping Amariaz down, we descended the “Air Pressure Barrier” stairs together.
So, Amariaz, you noticed something.
“Do you understand why Ashera-san became an angel?”
“Nah, I don’t.”
“Huh?”
“But I figured out something more serious. Uchikage-Ojiichan probably has an idea too.”
“What is it?”
As we headed back to the others, I urged him to explain.
With a deeply annoyed expression, Amariaz explained.
“Angels with pseudo-skills are pseudo-angels. In other words… they were all originally human.”
