Owari No Seraph-Ichinose Guren, 16-sai no Catastrophe Light Novel Volume 7

CHAPTER 4

"Huff, huff, huff"

His breathing came out in rough pants. Ever since a while ago, he was trying to catch his breath, but was unable to.

"Huff"

Hiiragi Kureto let out a long breath, trying to calm his beating heart down, his left hand on his chest.

With his sword grasped in his right hand, 《Raimeki》's power flowed through his whole body.

If he relaxed his guard for just a moment, he would die.

Such a situation had been going on for hours and hours.

There was treachery between the famous houses that were supposed to protect the 『Hirragi』. At least the Nii and the Kuki have been confirmed to have revolted.

But, the other houses could have also betrayed them. Information was conflicting, because Mahiru manipulated it to be so. She had been part of the other side for a long time.

She was born to be the person that would carry on the legacy of the Hiiragi, and had been a real genius since long ago.

Compared to her, he would be less than ideal. But he did not care about such a thing.

He had to deal with the problems that were happening right now.

He had to deal with them right away.

"................"

The enemies were attacking.

The enemies were wearing the battle uniform of 『Mikado no Oni』.

"Kureto-sama! Don't stand on the front line!"

His aide, Sangu Aoi, shouted.

Ignoring her, Kureto remained at the front. He would lose if he did not go out. He knew it. To an extent, the enemy was strong. Therefore,

『Roar, 《Raimeki》!』

Kureto shouted.

Then, from the sword that he was holding, lightning flashed. It struck his whole body and accelerated his muscle movement. His muscles were torn up, but the demon curse accelerated the forced healing of it.

What he needed now was speed.

To be faster than the enemy.

To use speed to kill the enemy.

His sister.

Speed which exceeded that of 《Hiiragi Mahiru》 the demon!

"Oooooooooo"

With a slash of his sword, he managed to kill a large group of people at once.

He had the momentum to change the battle situation with a single blow.

However, if that was true, then there was no need for such a way of fighting. To quell a coup d'etat, there was no need for them to participate in it themselves.

The power of the Hiiragi– the Ichinose, the Nii, the Sangu, the Shijin, the Goshi, the Rikudo, the Shichikai, the Hakke, the Kuki, the Jujo– that is, all the families. Even if all of them rebelled simultaneously, it should be just possible for them to be suppressed.

That was why, even if a coup occurred in a disadvantaged situation, if it could be contained within 2 hours, the battle situation would change.

It was because one had to crush everything with power.

However, the battle at this place had been going on for more than a day.

The sun rose and the sky has been dyed red.
