Reborn in Type-Moon, My Sister is Aoko Aozaki

Chapter 88: Volume 1: Chapter 89 - The Lair of the Beast King



The moonlight silently illuminated a corner of the land.

Upon the ruins, Nero Chaos's body continuously released dozens of beasts of different forms, which coordinated with his own movements to attack the boy.

Aozaki Rin, in turn, continuously swung his arm, cutting down one beast after another.

Whenever he tried to land a continuous slash of sword light on Nero Chaos, the other would instantly dissolve into a pool of black sludge to dodge the attack, only to reappear in another direction in the next second to reform his body and assail him again.

If this continued, it would just become a simple battle of attrition.

And from the looks of it, the other party didn't seem to care about the losses at all.

I have to find a way to get closer...

He wasn't sure if the weakness of an [Ancestor] of the Dead Apostles was different from that of an ordinary one, but from what Eiri Fumizuka had told him before, he knew that even Dead Apostles would die if their hearts and brains were destroyed.

The thought of engaging in close-quarters combat flashed through Aozaki Rin's mind. And as if seeing through his thoughts, Nero Chaos constantly kept a certain distance between himself and the boy, continuously birthing beasts to attack Aozaki Rin, seemingly intending to first wear down a portion of his stamina.

I have to be faster, to finish off those monsters in one go to get a chance to approach...

The number and speed of the sword flashes from his arm increased without him realizing it. Aozaki Rin adjusted his breathing, his golden eyes glowing faintly.

In an instant, he shattered all the beasts pouncing toward him, closed the distance to stand before Nero Chaos, and, aiming for the man's left chest, thrust directly through his heart!

***

Meanwhile, on the mountain path.

Aoko ran nonstop toward the distant magus's workshop, feeling a sense of loathing for this distance for the first time.

But as luck would have it, before she could even reach the halfway point up the mountain, a figure came rushing down to meet her.

"Aoko? Is Rin still back at the house? Was there an enemy attack? You go hide in the workshop; they probably won't go there!"

Without needing Aoko's reply, just by assessing the girl's appearance and expression, Touko had already judged the situation. While using magic to strengthen her own body and quicken her descent down the mountain, she threw out these few sentences, then brushed past Aoko and hurried down the mountain.

Surprised by her sister's decisiveness and her grasp of the situation, Aoko's steps faltered for a moment. She watched Touko's figure disappear down the mountain path, stunned for a second.

As expected, that person always seems so reliable, no matter when...

Gathering her thoughts, although her initial objective had now been achieved, Aoko started running again.

After all, she was still worried with just Touko and Aozaki Rin. And she knew that in the back hills behind her house, there was still an eccentric and long-lived old geezer hiding there.

***

—Squelch.

A murky liquid, whether it was blood or sludge, splattered in the air. Aozaki Rin clearly felt his arm pierce through the thing called a heart.

But just as he was about to pull his hand back, he found that his arm seemed to be stuck, unable to move.

And Nero Chaos, who should have died from this, looked up and chuckled softly at the boy before him.

"A wise decision. For an ordinary Dead Apostle, or even a common [Ancestor], the heart is indeed a weak point. But regrettably, I happen to be an exception."

"Since you've delivered yourself to me, I'll be taking this arm!"

As his words fell, Nero Chaos's body suddenly transformed into a giant maw with sharp, ferocious teeth. At the same time, countless hooks and spines erupted from his back, and with a surge of black sludge that spread outward, he took on a posture that threatened to devour the boy whole.

Aozaki Rin sensed the crisis and wanted to slice open the man's body from the inside to free his arm.

But the tight, constricting sensation from within the other's body slowed the speed of his arm swing by a fraction.

At the very moment the sharp teeth formed from the black sludge were about to bite off the boy's arm, a furious female voice suddenly rang out.

"I don't know where you got the nerve, but the Aozaki household is not some scenic mountain spot for you to run wild!"

The moment the voice scattered in the air, a massive, complex magic circle—one layer stacked upon another, outlined with wondrous patterns—instantly unfolded with the ruins at its center.

Nero Chaos's movements stopped in an instant. One after another, currents of magical energy shot through his body, seeming to transform into chains that bound his every action.

The man subconsciously tried to struggle, only to find that he was being restrained by what felt like an immense force from the earth itself.

Using the power of the ley lines as a means of restraint magic? Heh, the Aozaki family really does produce 'monsters'...

Realizing the nature of the restraints on his body, Nero Chaos's face showed surprise.

And on the small hill illuminated by the moonlight, Touko's fingers were now holding various activation tools for the ward. Her dry lips were slightly bleeding, likely from accidentally biting them while forcing herself to compress the incantation earlier.

But she paid no mind to the pain on her lips. Gazing at the restrained Nero Chaos, Touko shouted.

"Do it, Rin!"

Without needing the girl's reminder, Aozaki Rin knew what to do. The moment Nero Chaos's movements had stopped, he had already used his arm to slice open the other's body, freeing himself from his control.

At the same time, the boy spun around and slashed back!

—If the heart isn't the weak point, then I'll just take the head as well!

—Holy Sword, Wild Dance!

His arm, as if transformed into a sword, cut off the man's head in a single blow. Sword light flashed continuously around Aozaki Rin, covering Nero Chaos's body from every angle like a storm of slashes, and in nearly a hundred flashes of light, it diced him into pieces!

—Splat.

The remains turned into a black, sludge-like liquid and splattered onto the ground. Aozaki Rin leaped back a certain distance to avoid being touched by this suspicious substance.

But at that moment, the severed limbs and pieces of Nero Chaos, which should have returned to the earth, gathered together once more. Then, as if erupting, a black tide of sludge spread out with him at the center!

Countless beasts, one after another, were born from the black sludge, a total of 665.

Amidst the throng and roar of the hundred beasts, Nero Chaos's body reformed once more. He spread his arms under the moonlight, his crimson eyes fixed on the boy in the air, and grinned savagely.

"A pity. If your 'sword' had been just a little faster, perhaps it really would have ended just now."

"But you won't get a second chance like that. Now, you will understand why an [Ancestor] is called an [Ancestor]."

"Even an incomplete [Principle of the Blood] is more than enough!"

An immense power suddenly emanated from the man's body. In an instant, the earth seemed to be dyed with the color of chaos, and countless black sludges spread out amidst the roars of the 665 beasts!
