Such a degraded act for a god
Germa who received my strike, glared at me with provoking eyes .
He rubbed his stomach while making a pained face .
After the pain flew away, he finally lat out his hand from his stomach and calmed down again .
“I didn’t expect you to make a surprise attack . Are you fine with whatever happens to this body?”
“It’s not like he was my acquaintance or anything like that . Even if I gave him some damage, I will heal him at the end anyway . ”
Well, I don’t fall bad at all hitting that gloomy guy honestly .
He seemed to be a great enemy for Kamaishi after all .
I won’t be responsible for whatever that may happen to him .
It’s all his fault .
“Honestly speaking, I don’t care about what could happen to his body . So yeah, you can just stop thinking about using it as a shield against me . ”
Noticing that I wasn’t lying when I told him so, Germa went quiet for a moment, then floated back his wicked grin .
“I see, this is very regrettable . I thought you would show some hesitations, but it can’t be helped now . ”
Finishing his words, Germa started emitting black magic from his body .
Together with Akuya’s creepy grin, he seemed way more sinister than before .
“I’m going to have to fight you fairly . ”
Germa said as he showed off his composure .
When I got in touch with his black magic, I suddenly put on my guard .
Its ambiance had abruptly changed . Looks like he started to get serious .
“I have no idea about how you erased my spell, but in the end, you’re just a human . There’s no possible way you could defeat a god like myself . ”
Immediately after finishing that line, Germa created a tremendous number of black spheres behind him .
The black spheres kept increasing in a fast pace until they exceeded a thousand .
A thousand spheres made from a black mist floating around us .
I couldn’t hide my impression when seeing that incredible scenery and I let out a sound of admiration .
Lina, as well, remained gazing at them with an impressed expression .
As expected from a god . Doing this much isn’t that difficult for him .
“First, let’s start with a little test . ”
Germa raised his hand and lowered his wrist .
Following that signal, all the black spheres swooped down at me and Lina .
When Lina was about to use here void magic skill to erase the spheres, I stopped her at a close timing by raising my hand .
Making sure she understood my intention, I created a shining yellow sphere behind me .
I mean, obviously, light is the standard weapon against darkness .
Confirming the size of the sphere, I instantly made the same amount of them as Germa’s .
“Go . ”
Following that single word, all of the light balls I made went directly to bump against Germa’s black spheres .
Light and darkness . The yellow spheres collided with the black ones, then both turned into light particles and disappeared .
At this race, all the black spheres should disappear .
Or that’s what I presumed before Germa made his next move .
“You seem to be capable . How about this then?”
Before the yellow and black spheres finished colliding, Germa commenced his next attack .
A black mist appeared out of the blue and tried wrapping me inside it .
“This is not gonna work you know . ”
I quickly erased the mist using ?Erasure Magic?, though I didn’t realize that it was nothing but a distraction to conceal his real move .
When I looked in front of me after taking care of the mist, countless black spears were already surrounding me in every direction .
As soon as they established their aim, all of them were launched at me at the same time .
“Chi!”
Clicking my tongue, I tried teleporting using ?time-space teleportation?, however, Lina made her move before that .
“Won’t let you!”
Screaming, she used her void magic to cover the spears surrounding me .
All the spears turned into ash and disappeared in no time .
“You seem to have forgotten my presence here . ”
Said Lina when she stood next to me .
“Thanks for the help . ”
“Don’t let your guard down . You’re fighting against a former god . You should be ready for anything that may happen . ”
“She’s right . ”
Germa followed up Lina with a similar voice tone .
Although, that voice didn’t come from the front but from behind .
“Your back is defenseless . ”
Somehow, he showed behind us and reached his hand .
Instantly, Lina turned around to face him, but it was already late . His hand was about to reach her .
At this rate, she will be caught by him... at this rate .
“Yours is too . ”
I teleported behind Germa who appeared behind us first, then placed my hand on his back .
Of course, such a move was out of his expectations, so he couldn’t hide his startled expression .
He swiftly turned around, though just like what happened to Lina, he was already late .
“Impact!”
I released a shockwave of compressed wind at him .
As a result, a sound of explosion reverberated inside the town and Germa got blown off with a flexed back .
“Guaaa!!”
He screamed as he got blown away, but as expected from a god, he used his legs to stop on the way .
“Dammit!!!”
Screaming a word that completely ruined the intellectual ambiance he gave off until now, Germa stood up .
With a rough behavior, he created a giant black mist and went inside it .
In an instant, another black mist appeared before us and he stepped out from it .
That was probably a type of teleportation . He probably used the same technique to teleport behind us earlier .
Leaving behind his black mist while being out of breath, he still insisted on showing his composure and talked in a forced tone .
“That was quite effective . I honestly didn’t expect it . ”
“Well, thank you . ”
“Give it up! You can’t defeat up alone . ”
Hearing Lina’s warning, he seemed to admit the fact that he can’t defeat us and kept quiet for a while .
Well, he’s been bragging about victory before even trying to fight . He’ve got to admit it now .
After a moment of silence, he looked as if he thought up of something and brought back his wicked smile again .
“I see . Indeed, It looks like I’m in disadvantage against the both of you . I admit that, however...”
He then created that black mist once again and carried something out from it .
After the mist finally disappeared, I widened my eyes after confirming the person he was holding in his arms .
“How about now?”
“Saya-dono!!”
The person Germa was carrying was Kamaishi .
Lina couldn’t hide her bewilderment and screamed her name .
Looks like she was unconscious for that she didn’t move .
“I assume this human would serve as a good shield this time . ”
Keeping the same wicked smile in his face, Germa shifted his gaze to Kamaishi .
I can’t believe that a god went down to the level of taking hostages .

Bonus
Erasure Magic
“Your ?Erasure Magic?can erase anything . ”
“Yeah, It’s probably the stronger among my skills . ”
“Doesn’t have a weak point?”
“I’d say the fact that it can’t affect a living form, or that it could delete only one thing at a time . If I use ?Space Magic?, I can erase many things in one try, but that also takes time . So I can’t use it in battles that depend on speed . ”
“I see . Then can you use ?Space Magic?to erase the memories of inhabitants of a different world?”
“That’s possible . ”
“... Don’t do that!”
“I didn’t say I’m going to do it...”
