Chapter 102: - The Plunderer

With a hazy consciousness, Yanagi gazed at the blood flowing from his chest.

(I see. I lost, huh…)

As not even a finger could be moved properly, Yanagi strongly realized that the fact he was dying is an unchangeable reality.

And the one who was looking down at such Yanagi was the young man who stabbed a dagger into his heart–Amane Rin who displayed cold eyes devoid of emotions.

(I never thought, I would be utterly defeated like this)

Yanagi thought as he laughed at himself scornfully.

(In the end, I was in the palm of your hand until the very end)

A dagger that could plunder magic, an invisible barrier, and then transfer. Utilizing them, Rin had shattered all of Yanagi's plans to kill him. And in the end, without hesitation, Rin stabbed his dagger into Yanagi's heart.

But to such a Rin, Yanagi only wanted to ask one question.

"… For the last time, tell me, Amane Rin. Have you ever killed a person?"

"… This is the first time."

"… And this, huh. You really are a monster."

With that answer, Yanagi understood, that the existence called Rin was someone who could swallow even murderous intent directed at him, and could use any means for the sake of his objective.

When Yanagi killed a person for the first time, he gripped his knife with his trembling hand. And his heart was almost crushed by the fact that he just killed a person. Even if he knew it was for self-defense.

However, Yanagi and Rin, who was in front of him, have different qualities to begin with. That's why this result must have been decided from the beginning.

As his consciousness slowly faded, at the end, Yanagi looked at Rin and said.

"Then, let me witness…how you use this power"

And Yanagi silently took his last breath.

◇◆◇

Along with the death of Yanagi in front of me, the sound of the system reverberated in my mind.

『Experience acquired – Level has increased by 121』

『Skill 【Plunderer】 has been acquired』

『The level of the skill Plunderer will be reset to Lv 1』

And that announcement contained very shocking words.

"…. Plunderer has been acquired, huh."

Of course, I was surprised. But, at the same time, there was a part of me that had already expected it.

Because in order for a person to be removed from the target of [Plunderer], not only the caster, but the consent of the target was also required, which when I thought about it normally, there was no merit for that person to remain as a target.

That's why I thought the fact that there was such a condition means there was a hidden reason for it.

… Even so, I didn't think I would really be able to obtain it.

Judging from Yanagi's last words, he must have already known that his ability would be transferred to the target when he is killed.

… Or maybe it was a power that he took from someone to begin with. Well, there is no way to confirm that anymore, though.

I turned around, facing my back toward Yanagi. Then finally, I uttered an oath to someone who wasn't here anymore.

"Even if I obtained the same power as you… I will never be like you."

Those words echoed off the walls several times before disappearing somewhere far away.
