Chapter 62 Part 3 – Two great rivals cannot coexist. However, Alisa proposes an unexpected offer to 「The Bradd from the True History」.

The ‘Demon’s Cry’ of the 「Bradd from the True History」rushed forward in a straight line and collided with the ‘Demon’s Cry’ that was spinning around Alisa at high speed. The roar of the fierce clash deafened the ears.

「Tch, that’s not an illusionary body, it’s a materialization!! What the hell is going on!!」

「Ahahaha, what are you surprised about? It’s only natural for a woman to have a secret or two.」

Looking at the 「Bradd from the True History」 that was gnashing his teeth, Alisa sneered.

The two ‘Demon’s Cry’ that had surpassed the realm of humans intertwined with a roar and shook the atmosphere.
Blue sparks of lightning flashed and the burning smell of air spread through the area.
They were truly dragons vying for supremacy in the heavens.

Lying miserably on the ground, Ageros stared at the scene while feeling indignant and gnashing his teeth.

He was going crazy with frustration and sorrow.
Tears streamed down his cheeks.
Compared to the two people fighting the battle of the gods, he realized just how small he was.
To make things worse, one of them is his younger brother who has the same blood as him.
But why is there such a difference in talent ……!!

For him who is crawling on the ground, even if he threw away his life, he would still not be able to reach the brightness of the stars.
How much easier it would be if he could just accept that.
Ageros is suffering because he has not given up.
Even though he is a tiny being, he is seriously pursuing a dream that he cannot reach.
Even as he coughs out blood, he is putting his complete devotion into pursuing his dream and is slowly closing in on the seat of the most powerful.
Desperately burning the slight remaining lifeforce he has left.

That is why Alisa loves Ageros the most amongst the Seven Phantoms.
Alisa is cruel and capricious, but she is generous to those who entertain her.

「Ahahaha!! Ageros, how miserable you are. How pitiful. But you deserve to see this fight more than anyone else. I also understand that crazy feeling of not being able to give up on climbing, no matter how high the height is. Witness this. The pinnacle of strength.」

After saying so, Alisa gracefully turned around and danced in the midst of the maelstrom of madness as the ‘Demon’s Cry’ collided against each other.

「Ahahaha!! What a ferocious and manly ‘Demon’s Cry’. I enjoyed it. In return, I will teach you the devilishness of a woman.」

Alisa started rotating on the spot.
Her speed rapidly increased.
The ‘Demon’s Cry’ that surrounded Alisa changed from a wailing voice to a crazy laugh.
The ‘Demon’s Cry’ of the 「Bradd from the True History」 writhed in agony and became full of holes.

「…… My ‘Demon’s Cry’ ……!? What did you do!?」

Alisa laughed at the shocked expression of 「Bradd from the True History」.

「Ahahahaha!! What are you so flustered about? What a poor newbie. If you had shared a bed with me, you would have learned a great deal about the devilishness of women. …… Can’t you see? The ‘Frenzy’ in your ‘Demon’s Cry’ has been pulled out of control by me. ‘Frenzy’ is the madness of a woman. How can a man reproduce a woman’s crazy thoughts? There you go, it will burst now.」

Along with a thunderous sound and a flash of light, the ‘Demon’s Cry’ from 「Bradd from the True History」 scattered away.
Alisa walked slowly through the midst of the energy that has dissipated into flashes of lightning.
On the other hand, Alisa’s ‘Demon’s Cry’ has not diminished at all.
It clung to her like a raincoat, and as Alisa walked, it left a distortion of the scenery in its tails.

「Ahahaha!! It’s beautiful, isn’t it? I wonder what your intestinal guts will look like. I’m very curious. Now, let’s have a frank talk filled with killing intent.」

The figure illuminated by the lightning was truly the figure of the goddess of death.
It was a terrible sight that would break the heart of any brave warrior.
But 「Bradd from the True History」 laughed.
The more 「he」 is backed into a corner, the more 「he」 shows 「his」 true value.

「…… Hah!! You monstrous woman. Just how many trump cards have you kept hidden? But don’t think I’m going to show you the insides of my stomach so easily. I still have tiny fangs.」

「His」 tone was rude, but it was not a bluff in an attempt to hide 「his」 fear.
Alisa understood this and was rather in a good mood as she chuckled.
In a sense, these two rivals are well-acquainted with each other’s temper.

「…… Tiny fangs? Your fangs are strong and sharp enough to pierce even me.」

Before Alisa could finish her words, the ‘Demon’s Cry’ she was clad in let out a desperate cry and scattered. Alisa watched the scene with a sideways glance and not moving an eyebrow. A satisfied smile hanging on the corners of her mouth.

「…… As expected from you.」

「…… Well, it’s called a man’s willpower. If you’re going to have fun with me, you have to be prepared for it. Even if I can’t beat you in ‘Frenzy’, I can do it with ‘Transmission’. ‘Transmission’ is the power to reach. I’ve dealt a fatal blow to the depths of your ‘Demon’s Cry’ one step ahead of you.」

The 「Bradd from the True History」 grinned and Alisa smiled like a flower.
It was a smile that was more frightening than a distorted smile.

「It’s a tie. That’s great, I’m so excited. As expected from my rival in love. If Scarlet were not here, you might have been the man I want as my companion. But, with that borrowed body, you must have reached your limits right? No amount of threats and stalling for time will help you.」

「…… Tch, you found out.」

The 「Bradd from the True History」 smiled bitterly and ruffled his hair.

「I thought I could go to further lengths with the current you as the opponent, but I didn’t expect you to be able to grow up ……」

「His」 fingertips were trembling.
「He」 clenched 「his」 fists and sighed.

「…… I don’t want to say it myself, but this guy whose body I’m borrowing is amazing. At this age, he has already mastered the『Blood Atonement』. However, his body could not stand the burden from the consecutive use of the ‘Demon’s Cry’. If only, if only this guy was able to train for at least another 10 years, or even 5 years ……」

「If that happened, he would have surpassed even the you in the『True History』. …… Ageros!! Listen carefully!!」

Alisa suddenly called out.

Ageros, who had been painfully maintaining his 「Dark Illusion」, quickly looked up.
Alisa stared at Ageros with testing eyes and continued to talk.

「This overwhelmingly powerful Bradd is not the brother you know. Or rather, this is your younger brother’s potential. Right now, you are stronger than your younger brother. But in the not-too-distant future, your brother will surpass you and reach beyond these heights. He is a true genius. There is an extreme difference in talent between you and him. But if you want to become the strongest, you will never be able to avoid this obstacle. Let me know how you feel about it.」

Even if she told Ageros about the『True History』, he would not understand it.
So detailed explanations were omitted.
However, Ageros understood what Alisa was trying to say.
Ageros looked straight at her.

「…… I want to be ahead of my younger brother!! No matter how much talent my younger brother, Bradd, has ……!! As long as my life lasts, I don’t want to lose ……!!」

Alisa smiled at his resolute answer.

「Good eyes. It looks like you’re ready to walk the path of thorns. Then, from now on, you should leave my side and protect Princess Margaret from the shadows.」

Alisa’s unexpected instruction made not only Ageros but also 「Bradd from the True History」 look at her blankly. With a pleased look on her face, Alisa pointed at Margaret, who was still frozen in time, with the tip of her chin. Alisa acts like a demon, but she still has that kind of childishness.

「Margaret’s opponents for the throne, her older brother the prince and the queen’s faction, have the four great kingdoms behind them. From now on, she’s going to have her life constantly threatened both from within and outside. Fufufu, the situation is much worse than Scarlet thinks. …… Ahaha, poor princess Margaret. To think that the more serious she is about rebuilding this country, the more she invites family quarrels and civil unrest. She’d probably be much happier if I killed her.」

「No way ……」

Ageros gasped and looked at the face of the tragic princess who looked similar to Alisa.
Obsessed with the reckless dream of being the strongest, his heart was struck by the unattainable feelings of the princess and her lack of fortune. Ageros clutched his chest in sympathy and pity.

「…… I will do it. Please let me do it. I will protect Princess Margaret.」

Ageroth said with determination.
