[A World of Only Her and Her Cute Child]

“Oi oi, this’s different from what we were talking about!?”

“Elysium-dono!?”

This situation naturally took the saints by surprise as well, but Elysium stopped them from coming to save him and asked Phinis-sama, “…Why? Goddess Phinis… Didn’t you say you would grant our wish…?”

“Of course, I’m going to make your wish come true… I will eradicate the humans… then the demi-humans…”

“No! We only wished for the destruction of mankind! Why would you destroy demi-humans as well!? We never wished for such a thing!” Elysium denied, laying his emotions bare.

Phinis-sama gently tilted her head to the side and said, “What are you talking about…? My wish is to be with my cute child… to be ‘only’ with my cute child…”

“W-what are you—”

“So, I don’t need demi-humans… neither do I need humans… This world will do just fine with me and my cute children only…”

“Gh, so you deceived us…?” Elysium glared sharply at Phinis-sama, biting his lips tightly.

But like before, Phinis-sama just tilted her head as if she couldn’t understand why Elysium was angry.

And the next moment.

“Tri-Cross Gallows!”

――CLANG!

““!””

Three shields appeared out of the blue, pressing down the calm Phinis-sama and causing the ground under her to collapse.

Needless to say, the one who had casted the magic was the ‘Shield’ Saintess Shiva.

“Geez, I was hoping it wouldn’t have turned out this way…” She made a face seemingly looked like she was trying her best to maintain composure and yelled to me, “Now, Boy! Kill Phinis while I’m restraining her! The current you should be able to do it!”

“What…?”

What on earth is she saying…?

I mean, killing Phinis-sama…?  I was bewildered about the sudden happenings but,

“—Grand Spiral Bind!”

Whoosh! Magmell’s water magic added another layer of restraint on Phinis-sama.

Then she yelled at me as well, “Exa-sama! I’ll explain the details later, but now that you have the seven false rare skills, you can slay the gods who are immortal—that’s what Shiva-san said! As vexing as it may be, I do agree with her that it would be dangerous if we were to leave Phinis-sama be! So, hurry!”

“Kh…”

Magmell did have a point.

If Phinis-sama were to return to the world, the ancient war might erupt once again.

If that was the case—I had to take her down right here!

Blaze! Wearing flames, I transformed into Vermillion Bird Form again.

At the same time, I manifested a single-edged longsword and tried to slash at Phinis-sama but,

“…Nuisance.”

――Bang!

““Wha!?””

The moment she said so, all her restraints were blown away in an instant.

Moreover.

“I don’t need you, too…”

――Thud!

“—Gaha!?”

She pierced through Shiva’s body along with the Holy Shield she was holding up in defence with her fingertips. Shiva then fell down into the snow like a puppet who had its string cut.

“Shiva-san!”

“Damn, wouldja stop being such a busybody!?”

As Ophir went to escort Magmell running to save Shiva,

“—Goddess Phinis!”

Boom! Boreios raised up his axe behind Phinis-sama.

It was a blow filled with the whole spirit of the Beastified Boreios.

If it landed, Phinis-sama’s slender body would probably turn into fine dust.

But.

“What are you doing…?”

“Guh!?”

Boreios’s axe didn’t swung down.

Perhaps Phinis-sama had used some kind of Magic Art, the axe stopped in the air.

Touching Boreios’s body, Phinis-sama said, “The power you used is mine… Hence, you can’t hurt me…”

“Gh, in that case… Mm!?”

Although he tried to let go of the Sacred Treasure, it didn’t come off as if it was glued to his hand. Instead, a black aura spread out from the Sacred Treasure, gradually discoloring his arms. “Guoo…!? Th-this is…”

“Fufu, you’ll make a good doll for my child… Be sure to keep him entertained…”

“Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!?”

“Boreios…”

As Elysium vexedly ground his teeth, the Sacred Treasure continued to corrode Boreios until eventually, he turned into a black giant—becoming a ‘doll’, just like Phinis-sama had said.
