It Became a Time-Stop Slit-Eye

55. Development.

Following the witch’s gesture, a wave of flames rose.

Jeophwa, who had grown in size to the fullest, sprinted fast, filling her main street.

All the dirt on the roadside was melted away.

The flame, which only purifies unclean spirits, is a high-level spell designed not to burn humans.

The waves of fear killed only the monsters in the city, and ordinary people who couldn’t see monsters and magic just walked on the night road without knowing anything.

“Wow, it’s pretty.”

Only the children who opened their eyes from time to time were happy to see the red embers filling the roadside.

A beautiful high-ranking spell suitable for a fantastic day.

On top of that, another high-ranking wizard overlaid transcendental magic.

“───Expansion.”

William Betelgeuse called the stars.

Soon the star of the soul responded, and the star in the sky fell.

A cluster of lights in the night sky was attracted by magic.

“───Fire.”

Transcendence magic.

Falling Stardust.

A cluster of stars breaks into small pieces and falls.

More than snow falling from the night sky. Also, it fell incomparably faster.

The size is small, but each one is a dust with the brilliance of a star.

Everywhere in the city was enveloped in light as if stars had bloomed.

Grace reached not only the main roads but also the remote alleys, and the starlight shone.

The flesh of the Yo-kai exposed to the light immediately turned into black ash and was bruised.

My whole body melted within seconds.

“Whoa, it’s roughly organized.”

Erased thousands of monsters with one spell.

Even with such a big move, William Betelgeuse pretended to wipe his forehead and didn’t show any signs of difficulty.

On the contrary, I smile and reassure the child who is watching me.

“How is it, do you think you are safe enough now?”

This is the pinnacle of magic.

It was a different area from handling a sword.

Marushiki Ichi suddenly saw a tall, blond wizard with his mouth open.

In Ichimaru’s senses, he could feel not only the transfer of the magician in front of him, but also the distant past beyond the whole generation.

Kwajik-!

A middle-aged man killed a monster with his fists.

──Orochi, ask me.

A certain yukata-wearing maid summoned a giant snake and bit the monster to death.

──Fire Tornado!

In Minato, where his house exists, magicians were rampaging at the same time.

The attributes of fire and wind, water and earth, and rarely even lightning and darkness.

Those who could only kill the unclean spirits killed the monsters on the street, and the wizards who couldn’t roam the alleys and wipe them out.

As expected, the monsters in the city were disappearing in an instant.

At least the monsters didn’t exist or approach the house anymore.

‘I lived.’

From noble mtl dot com

The first thing that came to Shiki Ichimaru’s mind was a sense of relief.

Feeling the momentary release of tension and the loss of energy in his whole body, he tried to regain his senses even as he stumbled.

He was going to watch until the end.

“William, the whole area has been cleared.”

Soon William’s wife, Jane Betelgeuse, flew by her side, scattering her tirades.

A woman of about 170, quite tall.

A pair well matched with her husband, William, who is also her elder brother.

At her wife’s words, William Betelgeuse touched her chin and nodded her head.

“Well, it must have been natural since I brought in excess power. Because I said that damn inspiration was insecure or something. Is it time for the old man to retire?”

“William, our master is older than the hero, so what’s the use of saying that?”

“You can say that they are equally senile.”

William shrugged his shoulders, looked at the kid in front of him and smiled.

“Still, it’s fortunate that I was able to find a talented person thanks to the old ladies.”

“…… Yes?”

“It is said that it was very well protected.”

Your family.

William muttered and turned his head to look at the house from which the boy had sprung.

There was a couple with worried expressions and two children the same age as the kid in front of them.

William, who was watching them happily, suddenly tilted his head.

“…… Hmm?”

I narrowed the distance after frowning, and reached out my hand to the couple.

“Nice to meet you. My name is William Betelgeuse, a special wizard of the British Royal Society of Magic.”

“…… Are you a wizard?”

Her mother, Fusato, frowned at her as if she did not understand what she had heard, but Mahito did not deny anything, just rolling her eyes.

She just stared at the foreigner in front of her eyes with her mouth tightly closed as if to listen to her story.

William Betelgeuse smiled proudly and nodded his head despite the mixed questioning gaze.

“Yes, that wizard from a fantasy movie. Maybe your wife doesn’t know because her eyesight isn’t clear, but you can rest assured that most of the risk factors around you have been removed.”

“…… Are you okay?”

“Yes, yes.”

William smiled trustingly and this time turned his gaze to the children next to him.

He looks at the girl with an uneasy look on his face and the boy who steps forward while trembling with fear.

William, looking at the children in the distance, muttered quietly.

“It turned out that there were three talented people.”

William looked at the girl for a moment, then turned his head to the boy with the bright orange hair.

The wizard smiled kindly and leaned over to stroke the boy’s head.

Kenichi just glared at him without saying anything while frowning at what the hell was this.

William Betelgeuse suddenly spoke.

“Little boy, what is your name by any chance?”

“…… Kitagawa Kenichi.”

“Yes, old man, hasn’t your health been abnormal lately?”

“…… Do you know my grandfather?”

“Oh, you don’t know very well. It’s your grandfather who called us because he was anxious.”

“…… Are you Grandpa?!”

Kenichi widens his eyes as if he had no idea.

William shrugged his shoulders at the boy’s face, which was suddenly full of curiosity and fear disappeared.

“Now Mister… No, my brother has a busy schedule. Ask your grandfather later for details.”

William Betelgeuse smiled kindly and stood up.

He turned his gaze back to the couple who seemed to want to tell them something.

“Let me call another wizard to guide you. The current situation is urgent, so please wait a little bit.”

“…… Yes, I understand.”

Looking at Mahito’s face, who seemed to understand roughly, the wizard nodded his head.

“Okay then.”

William smiled confidently for the last time, and immediately turned around and headed for his wife.

Jane Betelgeuse.

I approached the red-flamed witch who was standing on her other leg and shrugged her shoulders.

“What is it, can’t you erase your memory?”

“What…… As you can see, they’re a unique group in many ways, so I don’t think we need to take any special action. First of all, that orange-haired boy over there is his grandson.”

“…… Really?”

“I wondered what the heck I was worried about, and it seemed like they called me to save my grandson. The girl seems to have a constitution similar to that of a saint.”

William Betelgeuse smiled and talked while looking at Ichimaru Shiki who looked tired.

As a high-ranking wizard, he should have observed the magical starlight emitted by the boy.

The talent he has.

“You don’t seem to be worried about the younger generation. It doesn’t matter if I’m senile.”

William stroked Shiki Ichimaru’s hair and spoke with a grin.

“I’m going to go around other areas, so please keep the house safe? Oh, of course, I will attach protection personnel.”

If he was a mid-level wizard under his command, he would be able to protect at least one family.

William gestured to his subordinate in the distance and nodded to the boy.

“Then am I really going?”

William Betelgeuse, a special magician who smiled reliably until the end.

He talked about the current situation with Jane Betelgeuse and seemed to be heading elsewhere.

“… ….”

Ichimaru Shiki blankly looked at his back.

I had no intention of blaming them for leaving this place right away.

Because he said he would subdue all the monsters around him and leave, and even attach subordinates to him.

It was safe to say that they had been sufficiently secured from the monsters in the city.

Actually, despite the boy’s excellent senses, I couldn’t sense any monsters nearby that could be a threat to me.

It must be safe.

In the future, his family and close friends will be able to regain their original tranquility and happiness.

I had to…… For some reason, Shiki Ichimaru couldn’t bear to let go of his anxiety.

Unexpected things hit me one after another, and I was still not anxious.

Perhaps something close to certainty.

A sense of relief came when I was freed from the immediate threat, but in the end, anxiety remained in my heart.

A premonition that an irresistible ordeal would surely come upon him came over him.

The reason was simple.

The time that will come in the future, the ‘future’ said so.

Small Shiki Ichimaru looked at ‘I’ standing like a ghost with an uneasy expression on his face.

I made eye contact with him.

Although they do not exist at the same time, the images of memories were conveyed faintly like a dream.

In that moment, Shiki sensed an inevitable future.

──Geomgiseonggang (劍氣成罡)…….

He tried to create a blade of magic in his hand, but fate came to his side faster.

The red moon in the night sky has disappeared.

“So which way are you going?

“Tell the old man to come here, and if we go around from the northeast to the west…… “

“He looks great even when he is young.”

Again, it suddenly appeared.

The source of moonlight crossed the center of the city.

The woman passed by the departing wizards and suddenly appeared in front of them.

Jane was slow to react, but William Betelgeuse’s profile was tinged with astonishment at that moment.

By the time he turned her around, the woman, her whole body glowing softly as if soaked in moonlight, was already in front of Ichimaru Shiki.

“A very good talent.”

The woman smiled as she grabbed the blade of the strong spirit that reached up to her neck with her bare hand.

It was a different color from William’s, his golden hair.

Beside her flowing blonde hair, her beautiful face smiled brightly, but Ichimarushiki only trembled in fear and backed away from her.

The woman looked at the child in front of her with a smile and no sign of displeasure.

“It’s been a while since I came out and I don’t know the customs these days, but since it’s a relationship, I should introduce myself.”

The woman said.

“My name is Deus Machina.”

The moment she said that, behind her back, in the air, a small sun was formed with the magic of starlight.

The mysterious woman continued her words as if nothing had happened, only looking at Ichimaru Shiki.

“Someone said it was a mythical yōkai.”

Just as the setting sun was about to touch her woman’s head, she stood up.

“Or God.”

Then the sun vanished.

“I will be your teacher.”

William Betelgeuse, the star wizard, was not surprised and immediately prepared the next magic.

His face was full of desperation and no composure from earlier.

“───Expand!”

The moment the starlight is engraved in the air again.

“Expanded.”

The woman, Deus Machina stepped on the ground.

Then, a large-scale magic circle rapidly spread throughout the area, and soon a red spell came to mind.

A rough range was observed with Shiki Ichimaru’s excellent senses.

“…… Ah.”

The range of the magic formula covers all of Tokyo.

“Now, let’s kill them all.”

God said.
