The Hero Banished Me Saying, “I Don’t Want Incompetents,” but All My Other Friends Followed Me.

Kagura vs. the Former Hero (Part 2)

For Renya, Reem has only been with him for a few hours after they met.

He returned from St. Luna, where he kidnapped Finnell, whom he had taken away, to turn her into a soggy, wet mess.

In the future, Renya was going to have a long relationship with Reem, and she was going to expose her sexual proclivities, and even though they didn’t get to the real thing, they played with Finnell together.

Therefore, Renya had already sensed something similar to ‘friendship’ in Reem, so

“You killed Reem, killed Reem, she didn’t do anything wrong, but …… don’t you have a soul? ！！！！”

Renya howls in anger.

“How dare you say that after humiliating Finnell, you’ve become a demon in your heart?”

Seraphy makes Renya even angrier.

Renya was just plain angry.

Kagura has been hiding his own abilities and ridiculing Renya inwardly; he has been upsetting his nerves by apologizing as if he was trying to stir up trouble, without a hint of sincerity by saying “I made you uncomfortable”.

And even now, the first time I lost to Kagura, Seraphy smiled at me.

Renya always felt as if he was sitting on the edge of a needle.

There is no way to see Renya in this place, in this world.

Loneliness, sorrow, anger, despair.

All kinds of negative emotions swirl around Renya’s inner mind, which eventually begins to affect the black mist.

“How dare you, kaguraaaa! I’ll kill you, Seraphy, Finnell, Lelia, Teal, until you cry for forgiveness, and then I’ll beat you until you want to die. ！！！！！！！”

Instantly, the negative aura surrounding Renya exploded.

The black mist spreads, and the holy sword, which was only black, has saw-like jagged thorns. The horns and wings are big and terrifying.

Every muscle expands.

Renya puffed up.

“It looks like I was the hero after all, Kagura, the hero of the world.

At this last minute, I’ve awakened to an overwhelming force, you can no longer defeat me.”

Renya had no human face left at all.

◇

Renya’s figure wavered, then disappeared.

“Come on.”

The voice heard from behind is passive, but Renya’s attack is not a blow. I try to dodge it, but it’s heavy and fast, so I get cut a little.

Blood splattered all over the place.

“Shunpo, Mutouryuu ‘Seikoku Shin Ichimonji Katachi Saint Slash Saber'”

“I see it!”

A high speed slash by the Shunpo is ducked by Renya just in time.

Well, it’s not a sword, it’s a fist, and if I’m ducking that close to the edge, it’s a backfist.

As it was, he hit Renya’s empty side with his fist.

“Ugh …… but it ain’t painful!!!!”

I was hit in the side of the head with a fist.

My body is blown away.

It’s heavy, I feel like I’ve got a crack in my skull, or maybe I really do, but one thing I can tell you is that things are pretty bad right now.

Now Renya is a demon, but somehow he still has Luna-sama’s blessing.

This is why even if I pour holy energy into it, it won’t be a fatal blow, and yet even simple physical attacks are nullified by the regenerative power that he possesses.

In the event that you’re in a state of mind where you’re not taking damage yet, you might feel like you can kill them all at some point, but now you’re getting slashed as well as beaten.

As it is, I’m being cut and punched inch by inch.

I’m not infinite in physical strength, energy, or regeneration, I’ll become jittery and lose soon.

As it was, there was no way to win.

I slowly raised my hands.

“I give up.”

“What?”

“I give up, Renya, you win.”

I kept my hands in the air and honestly admitted defeat, hoping that he would forgive me for my surrender and let me go.

I want you to kill yourself if you can.

But it’s not a quicksand.

“Haha, what’s with the surrender now, do you think I’m stupid or are you just ready to give up Seraphy and the others and get yourself killed?”

Renya thumps him on the shoulder with his sword, annoyed.

“No, it’s purely me, there’s no way for Renya to win now, for posterity’s sake, can you let me off the hook?”

“If you get down on your knees, …… no, it’s boring to watch a man get down on his knees, after all, you should die!”

Renya takes a big swing with his sword.

This is the first time that I’ve ever seen such a thing.

I’ll be damned if I’m going to get cut, it’s going to hurt.

I focus my mind, I circulate my soul.

From now on, my body wasn’t mine anymore – I didn’t really want to use it, and if I didn’t have to, so much the better.

Just because you let me use this–this backhanded move, Renya, you win this game.

I’ll take a losing battle, so Renya, I’ll take your life to hell–

“The Goddess of War’s Dance.”

◇

The feeling of God coming down from both of my raised hands.

The reason I said surrender was to buy time so that I could raise my hands and not be disturbed before God descended on Kagura’s body.

And the apology just now was one chance, more than aiming to change Renya’s mind, it was also intended to reduce the probability of being interrupted when I raised my hands like this.

From both hands of Kagura, a light with the same silhouette as the ritual sword that he used before and left in the Demon King’s castle appears.

The current Kagura has the power of a god of war.

“Cut.”

At the same time as he muttered, Renya’s limbs fell away as his neck separated from his torso.

“What?”

Renya had no idea what had happened; he had been able to deal with Kagura’s blink-and-you-missed-it steps earlier, but now he couldn’t see anything again.

Renya has indeed grown stronger.

He had fallen to the demon, grown, awakened, and had finally surpassed the plain Kagura, but Kagura still had a deeper hand.

“Kagura ……”

Dude, you’re still hiding it…fuck you…！！！！

Even such an angry grudge cannot even shout at Renya, who is slashed at an unsightly speed with “slash,” “slash,” and “slash.”

It hurt, it was painful, it was frustrating.

Every time he’s cut, he shifts back and forth between his human and demon forms.

At high speed, over and over again, your strength is being taken away each time, and the difference in strength is so overwhelming that you can’t catch up with your recovery just by healing.

And pain, every cut, every muscle fiber, every bone, every skin, every organ, sliced again and again with a blade that looks like it’s coated with poison.

Renya was nearly immortal.

But because he was immortal, he had to endure the pain and suffering of being cut up, over and over and over again.

He was not allowed to let out even a scream of pain.

“Kill …….”

Kill me, Renya thinks, or give up, give up on life, and you’ll escape this seemingly endless cycle of pain.

Potari, potari, petari.

The warm blood sticks to Renya’s cheek.

It was Kagura’s blood.

Kagura, in his human body, now possesses God, in the flesh, a divine power that is far more powerful than any human.

There’s no way I can endure this, there’s no way there’s no time limit.

Essentially, if Renya kept regenerating all the time, as long as he didn’t die, Kagura would come to the time limit of the War God’s Dance.

But the speed is overwhelming, the power is overwhelming.

Continue to be slashed and continue to be hurt. Renya, whose vision and sensation are closed, cannot notice the slight change in the blood of Kagura.

“(There’s no time…hurry–we’ve got to kill him while we’re at it!!!)”

Kagura accelerates, and Renya accelerates even faster, into pain, into slashing, into regeneration, into giving up on living.

Renya became a blood splatter, exploding and misting into a dusty powder of wood.

“I’m sorry-Renya. If you’re so strong, I want you to defeat the Demon King.”

The war god who stayed, escapes from the body, and Kagura collapses on the spot.

“Kagura-sama !!”

“Kagura-sama !!”

“Kagura-kun !!”

“Kagura-san !!”

Seraphy, Finnell, Lelia, Teal, the girls that Renya, who was a brave man, wanted to be the one until he became a demon, rush to Kagura’s side, thinking of him.

Renya crashed so badly that no trace of him was left, and Kagura cut him up and exorcised him as a demon.

Renya was never thought of by anyone, and he disappeared from the world in pieces.
