It Became a Time-Stop Slit-Eye

57. Shiki Ichimaru.

A world where the entire field of vision is colored by starlight.

The chains of the stars bound the devil’s whole body, and the old warrior struck down the devil’s sword in the air.

In such a desperate situation, Deus Machina’s solution was simple.

The golden-tinted evil god raised his finger.

“Reversal.”

I just chanted it.

─In that moment, the world turned upside down.

As the golden chain tried to seal the target, the hero stopped the blade he was about to strike.

In a short while, the evil god’s hair color changed.

From a dazzling golden color to a relatively flat reddish brown.

…… No, it was a rather familiar look.

Because he was a close friend’s disciple and one of the important talents responsible for the future of the world.

The aged hero, Kitagawa Touji, his eyes trembled in astonishment.

I shouted hastily.

“───William!!!”

Is there no need to call?

William Betelgeuse, the star wizard, paused the deployment of the spell just as the voice rang out.

I was stunned to see the horror in front of his eyes.

Faced with his wife, bound in golden chains and with a star stake in his heart.

“…… Willie…… Mom.”

Even with the same name, if the speaker is different, it will sound more special.

As Jane Betelgeuse, whose mouth was bleeding, uttered his name, William staggered.

Dilated pupils fluctuated, while the heart chilled, and the lungs tried to expel all the air.

…… Why jane?

Maybe it’s fantasy magic.

William Betelgeuse tried to deny the reality in front of him for a moment.

At this rate, the person you love will die.

In the midst of that pressure and fear, the star wizard William made a mistake he doesn’t normally make.

First, the seal was lifted.

At the same time as the chain of stars disappeared, Jane Betelgeuse’s body fell to the ground, having lost the source of support for her body.

She fell helplessly as if she lost consciousness.

William Betelgeuse was distracted and tried to get his wife.

“───Look behind you!!!”

Nerves buried in one place delay the reflection of warnings.

William, who inadvertently moved his steps, felt a presence in the place where Jane was originally.

He suddenly turned his head, sensing a certain outcome.

Kwajik! What I felt immediately after was the sensation of my heart being crushed in the water.

“…… Cool!”

William Betelgeuse, who vomited blood, paused for a moment before closing his eyes at the sound of something being smashed.

“…… Jane.”

When he opened his eyes again, there were no guns left in his pupils.

There was only emptiness.

Soon, the hand that had been beating his heart was removed, and William collapsed to the ground.

An emotionless face was revealed through the drops of blood that splattered in the air.

Blood flowed down her beautiful face, as if it were carved in gold.

“Don’t you think this is really absurd?”

Deus Machina stared at the woman cradled in her old man’s arms, her golden eyes shining.

“…… What the hell are you talking about?”

The aged hero, Kitagawa Touji, his face distorted.

The hero saved Jane Betelgeuse.

She, like her husband, had her heart pierced, she lost her mind, but her life was not lost.

That’s why it’s even more ironic.

“Human beings are also stupid. Even if you put the sound of something breaking in your head, it will give up on its own.”

The woman’s husband was different.

In despair over the death of someone she loved, she spontaneously gave up her life.

The outcome wouldn’t have changed anyway, but isn’t it really stupid to relate my life to someone else’s death?

The demon with golden eyes thought so sincerely.

Deus Machina looked over all the seats with a pitiful expression before stepping forward.

“Everybody is caught up in a narrow part of life.”

At that moment, his feet were out of coordinates.

At some point, Makina arrived in front of the hero.

Kitagawa Touji widened his eyes, hurriedly threw Jane out of his arms and swung his demonic sword.

Suddenly!

A cutting sound rang out.

The right hand holding the sword of the cross flew through the air.

The golden eyes drawing an arc and the distorted face of the old man intersected.

“Human beings are really stupid.”

When Deus Machina opened her hand, a blood flower bloomed in Touji’s heart as he passed by.

Before she knew it, her chest was pierced.

The warrior felt it when he saw a handful of blood leaking from his chest.

…… The end of mankind is imminent.

This demon is unlike any other monster you’ve ever faced. A burden too heavy for the next generation to bear…….

When I reached the place, the hero’s eyes, which had been closed, flashed open.

Belatedly, he muttered a name.

“Kenichi.”

Steel Puck!

After that, the hero collapsed.

Gentle waves rose on the floor, and the waves spread little by little and soon formed a pond.

Kitagawa Touji was submerged in the sea of his blood.

“…… Grandfather?”

It was a different ending after less than a minute since the battle started.

Even a child who couldn’t see the entire process could only see someone’s death.

Unlike before, the old man died slowly and in silence.

“…… Uh huh?”

Kenichi suddenly looked at his grandfather lying on the floor with empty eyes.

I could tell because they were related even though I could only see their backs.

The person submerged in the pool of blood over there is my grandfather.

It was Mahito who caught Kenichi Kitagawa, who was about to take a shaky step.

“…… Stay still.”

“aaa! But! Grandpa-!”

Mahito Ichimaru grabbed hold of Kenichi, who desperately shouted and tried to escape.

With his face distorted, he glared at the Deus Machina approaching them.

The devil smiled contentedly.

“You are wise. I don’t like the whining of an immature body.”

Standing in front of Mahito, who was staring at him clearly, Deus Machina filled her face with a smile.

“Hmm, has the spiritual eye awakened? It’s rare to do that at such a late age. Well, my parents must have had a talent too.”

Unlike Mahito Ichimaru, who had already met Makina’s eyes, Fusato saw something in front of him and hugged Hotaru, who began to tremble.

They were both great parents.

Makina held out her right hand as if holding her gun and aimed it between Mahito and Fusato’s heads.

“As a reward for raising a wonderful child, let me die painlessly.”

Even when my death was imminent, Mahito did not say anything.

I just stared at something.

The demon in front of my eyes and the blurry teeth behind it were engraved on my retina.

Suddenly, blood flowed from Mahito’s eyes.

Even though it was strange, the demon didn’t pay attention and pulled the trigger slowly.

Surprised by his husband’s strangeness, Fusato turned his head to look at him.

“…… Honey?”

Mahito continued to stare at the front as if he couldn’t hear the voice, and it wasn’t until the dripping drops of blood fell to the ground that he closed his eyes.

After that, he couldn’t open his eyes as if he had become blind.

He just smiled and turned his head in the direction of his lovely wife right next to him.

“Fusato.”

I’ve loved you all this time.

Just when he couldn’t get those short words out of his mouth, the trigger was pulled.

The devil smiled.

───Taang!

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out.

Then he collapses.

Two people lose their breath momentarily.

When he takes the motion of shooting a gun, the way he jumps backwards as if he was hit really is like a play.

Yes, a lie.

Looks like a concoction.

Ichimaru Shiki, who had been watching the whole scene, fixed on the coordinates, had a sudden thought.

Something must be wrong.

If it wasn’t so, there’s no way the author who suddenly calls me his teacher would kill his parents.

That makes no sense.

During his recent blissful days, he only had one nightmare.

This is a dream.

It is a false memory that is terribly vivid.

I had to.

──The two collapsed to the floor soon after.

I fell to the ground and didn’t even move.

The world named Ichimaru Mahito and Ichimaru Fusato died.

From noble mtl dot com

And Ichi Marushiki lost his parents.

“…… Ah.”

In that moment, the world turned gray.

“Hmm, are these guys the sprouts of a hero and a saint…… No, by the standards of the East, she is a shaman.”

Deus Machina looked down at the two struggling children with pale faces in the bosom of the corpse.

Kenichi, the bravest child of his age, exhaled breathlessly as he trembled at the death of someone in succession.

Hotaru Ichinose shed tears with his entire body rigid.

“Hmm.”

Makina looked at them with a smile, then closed her eyes and nodded her head.

“As expected, keeping them alive is annoying, so should I just kill them?”

Muttering that, I created a formless sword again in my hand.

The demon, who held on tightly, raised his sword high as if to strike it down.

This time, the faces of the children became dark as if they had intuited their own death.

“In your next life, be born in a good world.”

Deus Machina struck the sword with a smile.

It was also at that moment that my body, which was watching over the memory as a third party, was released.

I grabbed the sword.

I passed the weak Ichimaru Shiki and moved forward.

The gray world swelled like the sea.

A boy who lost his parents, a demon who shines alone, and two children with special talents.

Everyone was swallowed up by the gray sea.

──Time stopped.

I swung my sword.

Golden blood splattered along the sharp tip of the sword, and the demon’s head flew in the air.

A smile soon appeared on her beautiful face.

“…… Whoa.”

The one reflected in the shining eyes was a boy who had grown in size with age.
