Chapter 257: Chapter 247 The Power of the Minions

Intense pressure. Beastly aura, thick and heavy.

Razul’s presence shook the ground, cracking it with each step.

No fists last time, but now he’s here.

Miu whispered, ”Onii-chan... is that...?”

”Yeah. One of Asem’s four. Name’s—”

Razul cut in, grinning: ”That’s right! I’m Razul, ’Variant Breaker,’ son of the boss! Nice to meet ya, Sirius’s daughter! Gahaha!”

Boisterous as ever. Loud too.

Asem’s minions all have powers.

Vika, ’Arsenal,’ creates and wields weapons—swords to gatling guns, with attributes.

Bell, ’Painter,’ materializes drawings, copies powers on touch. Copied mine. Maybe more abilities.

Razul and Vals, ’Voyeur,’ are unknowns.

Wary, I said, ”You’re here for me, right?”

”Yup! Said before—I’m challenging the hero who beat Sirius and Rosward!”

Aura surged, overwhelming.

Razul: ”Waited for those mass-produced dragons to clear out. Annoying otherwise.”

Straight-up brawler. Battle maniac craving strong foes.

Multiple presences surrounded us.

”Don’t rush ahead! Charging once dragons vanished?” Dark-skinned, white-haired beauty—Vika, ’Arsenal.’

”Pointless. It’s Razul.” Tall, lanky man, brown hair tied back—Vals, ’Voyeur.’

Behind us, a petite girl, pale skin, long white hair—Bell, ’Painter.’

”...Need to pee.”

All of Asem’s minions!

Again with the pee!?

Vika dashed to Bell. ”I told you to go before!”

”...Everyone left.”

”Razul’s fault!” Vika snapped.

”My fault!?” Razul roared.

”Obviously,” Vals said.

”Vals, you too!?”

”Yup!” Vika chimed.

What!? Infighting!?

We’re surrounded but sidelined!?

Attack chance? Can’t—mood’s off!

As they bickered, Bell tugged Vika’s sleeve.

”...Vika.”

”What?”

Eyes teary, Bell said, ”...Gonna leak.”

Time froze. Her words echoed.

Leak?

Really?

Oh, it’s happening.

Razul shouted, ”Do something!”

”Our sister’s in crisis! Vika, toilet!” Vals urged.

”Where’s a toilet! Hero-kun!?” Vika yelled.

”Asking the enemy!?”

”No choice! It’s not enemy or ally now! Or do you want loli leak play? Pervert!”

”Didn’t say that!”

Give me back the tension!

Why’s this battlefield a different kind!?

You called me Serious Breaker, but you’re worse!

”...Limit... coming,” Bell squirmed, clutching skirt.

Real crisis!

Vika scooped Bell, distanced from us. Razul dug a hole, Vals conjured a wall.

Vika’s voice: ”Do it here! No one’s watching!”

”Hero, truce!” Razul pleaded.

”Please, we’re in a pinch!” Vals added.

Truce for their sister!?

You started this!

”...Kinda homey,” Miu muttered.

”First time enemies feel this cozy,” Alice said.

Water sounds followed. Miu and Alice covered my ears.

...Call Kiba.

”What happened?” Kiba arrived, staring.

Vika’s group changed Bell’s underwear—unreal battlefield scene.

Slightly too late.

I patted Kiba’s shoulder. ”Don’t mention it. Girl stuff, even if enemies.”

”...Got it. Didn’t see.”

Classic gentleman Kiba—instant understanding.

Vika’s group, sweating, finished.

”Bell, toilet before missions, okay?”

”...Okay,” Bell nodded cutely.

Razul, Vals waved. ”Sorry for the wait. Unexpected mess.”

”Ruined the serious vibe. Can’t talk,” Vals said.

Exactly!

Stop calling us Serious Breakers!

Now we fight, right?

Razul cracked knuckles, neck. ”Let’s do this. I take Hero. Cool?”

”Fine. I’ll take Flatty♪” Vika teased.

”Not flat! Got some!” Alice retorted.

Enough already.

Vals eyed Kiba. ”I’ll face Holy-Demonic Sword guy. Sword vs. sword, though I use magic. Fairly.”

”...I’m with her?” Bell tilted head at Miu.

Me vs. Razul.

Alice vs. Vika.

Kiba vs. Vals.

Miu vs. Bell.

One-on-one. Called Kiba for numbers.

We nodded, facing opponents.

Alice and Vika moved first.

”Big-boobed jerk! I’ll tear ’em off!” Alice charged.

”Try it!” Vika laughed.

Fiercer than last time. Alice in Zone, dodging Vika’s swords, guns, striking back.

”Haa!”

”Close one♪”

Alice improved, but Vika’s relaxed, parrying, exploiting gaps. Weapon-switching disrupts Alice’s rhythm, though she’s holding even now.

Vika grinned: ”Not bad. Don’t wanna let him down?”

”No more dragging him down!” Alice snapped.

They clashed, drifting away.

Vals drew sword against Kiba. ”Vika’s pumped. Shall we, Yuto Kiba?”

Kiba’s aura surged—white, black, holy, demonic. Black coat, katana-shaped Holy-Demonic Sword.

Balance Breaker Second Tier—Dual Tyrant Knight King.

Boosts speed, adds destructive force, multi-attribute strikes. Enhances Kiba’s technical style.

Not in Zone, but versatile. Hold strong.

Kiba: ”Issei-kun, I’ll handle this.”

”Thanks.”

Kiba dashed, leaving afterimages—not just speed, sword illusions too. Hundreds surrounded Vals.

Vals: ”Impressive.”

Closed eyes, thrust sword.

CLANG!

Kiba’s rear strike blocked!

”Close,” Vals smirked.

Kiba, shaken, froze Vals’s sword with ice. Vals dodged, but Kiba pressed—slashing from all angles, mixing attributes.

Strong. Not Kiba—Vals.

Kiba’s full force, yet Vals parried with a smile, barely moving. Minimal sword, bodywork deflected all.

Kiba: ”What’s your deal?”

”Hm?”

”You only defend, barely move.”

Vals hadn’t budged from starting spot.

He smiled: ”Sorry, knew your question.”

Looked at me: ”Hero’s wondering my power.”

”Yeah.”

”Already using it.”

”What!?”

Where!? Watched Kiba’s fight—felt nothing.

Vals smirked: ”Not flashy like Vika or Bell. Two powers: read minds, see a moment ahead. Not strong, right?”

Not strong!?

Insanely troublesome!

Mind-reading exposes plans. Attacks are telegraphed.

Seeing a moment ahead—evades lucky hits, critical in fights.

Subtle but powerful.

Plus, high-level swordsmanship, physical skill, magic.

”Flattered,” Vals said.

”Don’t read my mind!”

Ruins strategies!

”I know about the shelter’s teleportation circle.”

”Even stealth—”

”Useless.”

Too annoying! Calling him Jimmy!

”That’s harsh! I’m sensitive!” Vals whined.

”You’re hurt by mind-read insults!?”

”Glass heart!”

Then insults could win!

Yo, Jimmy!

”Stop it!” Vals winced.

”Kiba, now!”

”Haha...”

BOOM!

Explosion nearby—Miu unleashed massive magic at Bell.

Wind, fire, thunder—Bell blocked with defensive circles.

While blocking, Bell drew beasts in air—multiple.

”From formless, take form. From my fantasy, appear.”

Drawings glowed—earth quaked!

What!?

Ground swelled, growing—

”ROAR!”

Giant beasts emerged—doll, lion, bird. Each 100 meters.

Like Magic Beast Crisis giants.

Facing Miu.

”Created in an instant!?” Miu gaped.

Understandable—massive beasts, so fast!

Doll beast swung; ground shook.

”Miu!”

”I know!” Miu flew, wind magic boosting speed.

Bird beast charged, faster than expected.

Miu, unable to dodge, stacked circles. Seven-colored light converged—Stardust Breaker, her strongest.

It pierced, downed the bird.

Panting, Miu faced Bell.

”...Can make more,” Bell said, drawing two dragons.

More beasts—Miu faltered.

”What’s this power!? Can’t keep up!”

Bell’s strongest—summoning beasts, casting magic.

Too much for Miu.

”Onii-chan, I’m moving south—school’s at risk!”

”Okay, but don’t overdo it! Fall back if bad!”

”Got it!”

Miu retreated south, Bell and beasts following.

Alice, Kiba, Miu—hold on!

Praying, I faced Razul.

”Let’s fight!” he grinned.

”Ending this quick—too dangerous! Sky Martial Xenon!”

Armor shifted, I braced. Razul did too.

Our auras clashed, gouging earth.

I moved first.

”BBBBBBBBBBBBBoost!!”

Fist charged, I struck to crush.

Don’t know his power, but gotta end fast!

”Hell yeah, head-on! That’s the spirit!” Razul charged, thrilled.

Fists collided!

”HAAA!”

”ORAAA!”

No stalemate—I lost.

Blown back, bouncing, crashing through houses.

Stopped, damage heavy, spitting blood.

”Sky Martial... lost!?”

In armor, I’m Maou-class. Melee-specialized, yet overpowered.

Shocking.

Rising from rubble, my body pulled—sucked back.

Floating, dragged to Razul.

”Surprised? My power—gravity and repulsion!” Razul swung, smashing my face.

Helmet shattered, brain rattled.

”Guh!”

Grabbing my neck, Razul said, ”That punch? No power. Just fist. My fists mow down thousands, kill gods. Hence, ’Variant Breaker.’”
