'Defeat and not kill? There must be a reason.'
All people in the hall murmured worrying about the princess of Aldegyr Kingdom, La Folia Rihavuain. However, they aren't panicked because I am here. This is what I am talking about in my speech before after all, there is no need to worry about heretic god as long as I am here.
I closed my eyes to sense the presence of the god and found the god at the shore near the barrier that hides this place. Looks like there is a need to do something to the eyewitness. Fortunately, only some presence can be detected there. I looked at Alice to see her nodded with a smile on her face as if she already knows what I want to say.
"Alright, I am going." I casually said.
"Understood. May the odds be ever in your favor, my King." All people in the hall simultaneously said when they heard my remarks. I nodded and promptly teleport to the place I detected the god in.
*Bang*
When I arrived, I saw a very gorgeous pale skinned girl with hip-length silver hair that has bangs hanging over her face where it mostly hangs over on the right side with a fiery red aura around her. She smashed a black hammer in her hands to the ground.
I widened my eyes as I looked at the gorgeous pale skinned girl, La Folia. Because she just looks like Kanon very much. But anyway, it's not the time to think about that.
Then, as the hammer loudly smashed the ground, lines of crack appeared and gradually creeping toward a family that looking at the scene with a terrified expression. Looking at that, I flicked my fingers and placed a barrier around the family.
From the cracked ground, earth spikes and fire coming out from the ground creeping toward the family.
*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*
The family closed their eyes as if resigned to fate as they saw the spikes coming toward them. However, they didn't see that an invisible barrier protected them from the spikes as loud sounds of crash reverberating from the clash.
Because there are some people looking at the magical scene in front of them, I flicked my fingers once again and put those people and the rest of the ordinary people near the place to sleep and placed a barrier around each of them.
After she saw that, the girl, La Folia looking at me with a pair of golden eyes. She looked at me with hollowed eyes without any emotion. Her gorgeous face frowned painfully as if holding back from something.
I need to end this fight in an instant because the toll on her body would be very excruciating if I prolong this by even 30 minutes. While I was thinking about that, La Folia rushed toward me and swung the hammer to smash me.
*Bang*
A loud crash can be heard as the hammer clashed with my barrier. Looking at the staggered La Folia, I teleported away and activated the first eyes: Death Perception. Lines after lines can be seen from all over her body. This means, her body was still fully human and she will die if I attacked her with divine power.
As I was observing her, La Folia looked at my directions and raised her hammer. I observed the hammer which only has one line to destroy it as the hammer slowly absorbed the nearby ground and land to cover it.
'Seems like that hammer is the problem.'
According to Alice, a Hime-Miko will have stronger power lent by the god of divine possession if she has a catalyst. And this hammer must be her catalyst. And my intuition told me she would be saved if I 'kill' the hammer.
Yes, 'kill' the hammer. The god must slowly have to eat her consciousness from the hammer. And I think, there is no way the God who has been with her all this time suddenly goes berserk and possessed her body. Something or someone must have triggered this.
While thinking about that, La Folia's face paled as she raised the currently massive hammer of the earth with fiery red fire surrounding it. Looking at her pale face, I know I need to end this right now. Deciding that, I spread my right hand and Mikazuki Munechika appeared on my hand.
I assume an Iai stance after placing the Katana on my waist. I took a deep breath and concentrated my eyes on the massive earth hammer covered with fire that obstructing the sunlight making the sky turned dark. And then for the first time, a lovely voice can be heard as she shouted with all her might as she swings the massive hammer toward me.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
The massive hammer was coming toward me with fast speed but in my eyes, it's as slow as a swallow. I slowly released my breath and readying myself to unsheath my Katana. And when the hammer was only five meters before me, I calmly said.
"Hiken-Tsubame Gaeshi."
*Shoosh* *Shoosh* *Shoosh*
The hammer suddenly stopped as cracks started to appear in the massive earth that covered the hammer.
*Boom*
The earth that covered the hammer destroyed to pieces and flew everywhere in the area as the explosion happened because of the clash. But, the hammer itself has not destroyed yet. La Folia or should I say the god that possessed La Folia's body incompletely looking at me and about to unleash another attack.
However, I instantly teleported right in front of her and used the first technique of Niten-Ichi Ryu: One sword style – Issetsu Nadegiri and slashed the hammer.
*Clang*
The hammer destroyed becoming particles of light. And I can feel an authority was added to me. This is quite odd, I don't think destroying an incomplete heretic god can give me an authority. I can only assume that this hammer itself was an authority and I just usurped it.
*Ding* [Quest Completed]
Then, I gently held La Folia who has been enduring a large toll on her body before she fell down to the ground. La Folia weakly opened her eyes and displayed a pair of mesmerizing blue eyes that look like Kanon's eyes. She looks at me with a weak smile, and her hand gently touched my face.
"Thank you..." And then, she loses her consciousness after saying her thanks.
"You're welcome. Rest well, princess." I smiled and said as I princess carried her. When I was about to teleport, a presence of magic can be sensed from quite far away from my current position.
I looked at the direction of the magic. A man was calmly standing in the sky while looking at us, no, he is looking at me. The man has a quite handsome face, white hair, and tanned skin. Although it's easy to teleport right in front of him, the one displayed before I was likely only magic and not the man himself.
Without even need to think I know this man is the culprit of La Folia's berserk. However, the man's expression made me frowned. Because he looked at me with apologetic eyes and his expression changed to a hopeful expression. And then, he bowed his head before his body fade like a smoke.
This man was different from the divine ancestor, Guinevere who intentionally awaken the god of steel to look for the king who manifests at the world's end. My intuition told me that this man didn't do it with this kind of motive.
Still, there is no point to think about something that I have no answer nor clue to answer. While thinking that I should ask about this to Alice, I teleported back to Alice's mansion before the people who will deal with the aftermath arrived.
