novelWaiting for an opportunity

"Tsuchino, I'll bring Tyres-san and because I can't use my right arm, you take Toururi-san." Tsuchio
『Are you okay... ? If you get involved in a battle like that, you'll die... 』Tsuchino
"Yukurishisu won't ignore them. If they attack, they′ll be attacked. Both of them are quite injured, therefore I cannot leave them alone." Tsuchio
『Okay... lets move quickly』Tsuchino
In the battle between Yukurishisu and Grannir, Toururi and Tyres were struck by a light ray and fell down. It seems there is no consciousness and it is unlikely they would get up. Although I have known them for a few days, those people took care of me a lot. I cannot let them die. I have to save them for first aid.
"We go by one two-three!" Tsuchio
『Only our hands are put out from the shadows! If we extend them for a bit, it will arrive!』Tsuchino
"Ok. Here we go. One, two, three!" Tsuchio
We dive into the shadow of the rubble of the big tower that was falling near and fly to Tyres-san′s shadow. We passed through a black space and reached out into the sunlight. I feel a slightly rough, warm skin on my hand, squeeze and pull in. Tyres is sinking into the shadow. Burned arms stopped the light, lacerations ran everywhere. The feeling I have wasn't such a terrible injury... but a blown shock, I guess it happened even in a concussion. Is Toururi the same?
Taking Tyres with us, we head towards Toururi′s shadow. I can only see a light window in the black space, but it seems that Tsuchino knows what shadow is connected to who. This time Tsuchino′s heads out and found Toururi. She grabbed her neck and pulled her in. At the same time as the body entered, a light ray hit the shadow. Exploding while emitting burning light and heat, even though it is in the shadow, we were blown away by the impact.
『Ah, it was dangerous... but we were not attacked!』Tsuchino
"It was good that we were not hit.... But it's not safe here, so let's go back quickly." Tsuchio
Returning from the shadows, I pulled up two people along with Tsuchino. Toururi who used her axe as a shield, seems to have failed to prevent it well. From her chest to her belly, there is a big burn mark. What is common to both of them is that they were completely burned. Was it because they were swallowed by that light?
"Are you alright, Father!" Lime
"Yes, there is no problem. Leave them on the ground. Tsuchino, how are they?" Tsuchio
『... It doesn't seem that bad, but the inside is pretty destroyed. Several bones are broken, so I have to connect them back properly. I will look at the organs. 』Tsuchino
Tsuchino will look after those two and uses her healing magic. With that, those two are safe. What about Yukurisishu?
The battle was intensifying. Yukurishisu avoids the rays emitted by Grannir, sometimes with a fist, sometimes in her bat form. It seems that she drains magic by waving one hand. Does it work unless it is a powerful magic as a while ago? Although the skin of her fist which received the light comes off, it seems to be slower to cure when fighting Almira-san. Is it the influence of that sword, is it so strong? Anyway, it is not convenient for Yukurishisu. During the attacks, Yukurisushu is going to win by aiming at the moment of release of the light. Kicking the ground and moving fast, light rays are emitted at close range, but Grannir′s arms are pushed away and forced to deflect. In front of us is the appearance of an unprotected Grannir. With the momentum as it is, Yukurishisu pierced his neck. Her sharp nails broke the scales and meat and jumped out to the other side.
"... It's over." Grannir
When pulling out her hand, blood splashes from the opened hole. Grannir remains as before and his facial expression has not changed. However, only blood is flowing out.... Even though her beloved master was killed again, Almira-san is quiet.... Does this mean!
"Yukurishisu! It's not over yet!" Tsuchio
"!!No way!" Yukurishisu
"Yes, it is so." Grannir
Grannir grabs Yukurishisu's neck and lifts her up. The hole opened in her neck is emitting smoke and regenerates. He is immortal!? Is it because of his immortal killing sword.... Having revived, did he gain immortality?
"No matter how much I die, it's not very pleasant to be pierced through my neck. It is disgusting to hear the unpleasant sound from the inside though the meat is regenerating" Grannir
"Older brother... you became Immortal, gguu..." Yukurishisu
"That's how it is. No matter how you fight, you can not kill me now." Grannir
Grannir put his immortal killing sword in front of Yukurishisu's eyes. Tyres and Toururi are stunned, there is little possibility that reinforcements will come.... I'm completely useless.
"Shit!!" Tsuchio
"Stop it, human. If you want to live longer." Grannir
I tried to swing my arms by pulling out talismans, but was stopped by Grannir′s words. I am the only one who can fight now... just being able to speak, my body is solid and my teeth are trembling. I am sorry to have tears in my eyes.
"Tsuchio is irrelevant... if you kill, just kill me." Yukurishisu
"Reliable, I won't do anything if he doesn't put out his hands from over there. Even if he returns to his continent, I will attack and destroy it immediately, so it is the same thing." Grannir
"If you think that everything will go as you want, it would be a big mistake..." Yukurishisu or Tsuchio
"I will decide what will happen. With this power of immortality, I won't be defeated. That's exactly what a God is." Grannir
"You... don't look like a God. Your tone is completely different." Tsuchio
Grannir swings his arm a lot and pierces Yukurisishu's neck. The blade pierces the meat and blood that gushed out of the blood vessel got wetted by the body... it was supposed to be so.
"... What does this mean, human?" Grannir
The talisman I threw hits the immortality killing sword from below. The tip was diverted and Yukurishisu′s cheeks were slightly torn. Of course, the wound doesn't regenerate.
"... It is the end, everyone." Tsuchio
"Don't worry, I think I did it." Ruu
"If it was father, I thought so." Lime
"If you are killed here, I misjudged." Rin
"The odds are low, but... there's no way to say it's zero, therefore let's do it." Nichrome
『Well, it will be like this. Haa, it's tough. 』Tsuchino
Whatever trump card I use, even if heaven and earth turns around, we won't be able to win against Grannir. There is no meaning, idiocy death of an idiot who can not understand the capability difference of ego. That is exactly true, and there is no denying.
"What are you doing, Tsuchio... ! You′re going to die, involving your familiars... !" Yukurishisu
"I'm sorry, Yukurishisu. I know that I am stupid. But I don't want you to die. I also asked Wo-san about you." Tsuchio
"Even if you do it, it is water against rocks... you're a drag, go anywhere quickly!" Yukurishisu
"It's no use saying that, it's too late anyway."
"That's it, I will die while regretting that I bothered you."
Grannir thrusts his sword into the ground and turns his palm towards us. Enormous magic power is gathered with the intention to completely erase us....
"Can we avoid it... ?" Tsuchio
"If we dive left and right, one side may be saved. But I'm sure father is the target..." Lime
"It's only a few minutes, not enough to care. There is no pain and we will disappear at once." Tsuchio
The palm is covered with dense white light and a huge sphere is formed. It is bigger than what was released before... that size can not be avoided.
"This is the end. I will send you to the same place soon." Grannir
"Oh shit, after all I was a little reckless!" Tsuchio
『It can not be helped even if I say it again! I will prevent it!』
The sphere is released and fills my sight with whiteness, swallowing even Tyres and Toururi. I closed my eyes and took it silently. Is this the end... if I don't come back, what would they think? I can't visit Spirit-san again and I didn't get the money back which I lent to those assassin sisters. Oh, I wanted to see them once more. I also wanted to see the child dragon who grew up. Thinking like this, I have something left behind....
Am I dead? No, I'm not dead because my feet are still on the ground. Are Ruu and the others holding it? If they take on such a enormous magical power, no matter how, they will be erased. Their magical power is exhausted already, so they can't do anything. Fearfully, I open my eyelids. And what jumped into my eyes....
"... Who are you." Tsuchio
『Who? You will see it. 』
『It seems to be a little overboard... claiming to be god. 』
『Indeed, the spirit buys time and the case is chosen. It's not a gala, is it?』
"... Eh, Hellfire-san? Honey poison-san and Thunderclap-san..." Tsuchio
Between us and Grannir, three huge dragons with their large wings, thick scales and well-developed legs appeared. Hellfire-san and the others showed up in front of us again.
