What is this?It was an oddly shaped object, like two cone bases stuck together. It felt closer to a spear than a pillar, but it was over a meter long, seemingly too large for a person to wield.
Suddenly, black lines ran across the spears surface, and it crumbled into small parts. As Magna frowned at this sight, the fallen parts began to reassemble, forming a familiar wolf-like shape.
!?
Desperately suppressing a scream, Magna hurried back into the house. Without a word, he extinguished the lamp on the table, forcibly covered his sisters mouth, and spoke softly to his father.
Dad, theres a Night Walker outside.
Mmph!?
As expected, his father remained silent, but his sister let out a muffled groan. However, since her mouth was covered, no loud sound escaped.
Lets go upstairs quietly. Its better than
Thud! Thud thud thud!
As if mocking Magna and his family, four impacts struck in quick succession. Ignoring the implications, they all went to Magnas room on the second floor, where Magna gently pushed open the wooden shutter to look outside.
Ah.
A voice of despair escaped his lips. Within view from the window were three Night Walkers, which meant there were almost certainly two more out of sight. Moreover, for some reason, all the Night Walkers were slowly moving towards their house.
(Why are they coming here!? What should we do!?)
O-Onii-chan
Its okay, its okay, Ruruka. Im sure the hero will come to save us.
While tightly embracing his trembling sister, Magna spoke these words as if trying to convince himself as well.
Yes, unlike last time, the heros party was definitely in this village now. People who had even defeated the Demon King surely wouldnt lose to Night Walkers.
If they could just buy some time, they would be saved Magna tried to encourage himself by strongly believing this, but
Clang! Crack! Creak
Eek
Dont scream! Sorry, Ruruka.
Mmph!
Hearing the sound of destruction from downstairs, his sister almost screamed, and Magna pressed her face against his chest to muffle her voice. Seeing his sisters face on the verge of crying out, Magna also gritted his teeth.
(This is bad, this is bad. At this rate, well)
Magna, listen carefully. Ill buy some time
No, Ill do it.
Interrupting his fathers determined words, Magna pushed his sister towards his father and began to put on the sword and armor displayed in the room. The equipment, which should have been cheap, fake, and borrowed, somehow fit Magnas body strangely well.
How do I look, Ruruka? Doesnt your brother look like the hero?
So its okay. Ill definitely protect you.
No, wait. Onii-chan!
Dad, the rest Im counting on you!
ONII-CHANNNN!!!
Shaking off his sister who reached out screaming, Magna dashed out of the room and ran down the stairs at once. There, he saw two wolf-type Night Walkers, sniffing around as if searching the house.
Over here, you junk! Hero Magna will be your opponent!
Ignoring them and shouting, Magna ran out of the house. There were two more wolf-types and, as a bonus, one human-type.
A human-type!? Ha, hahaha. Bring it on! Ill defeat you all together!
Drawing the sword at his waist, Magna slashed at the nearest wolf-type. But Magnas strike, having no sword skills, was easily dodged, and instead, the sword was caught in its mouth and flung far away.
Damn, just looking the part isnt enough, huh But, not yet!
Despite being scared enough that his legs might give out, Magna was puzzled by his own inexplicable calmness.
At this rate, he could buy a little more time until the hero arrives. Thats what Magna thought, but reality was harsher than he imagined.
Kyaaaaa!
!? Ruruka!
Turning at the scream, Magna saw a wolf-type Night Walker jumping out of his rooms window with his sister in its mouth. His father was desperately clinging to its body, but was shaken off as it landed, falling silent with a low groan.
Nooo! Dad! Onii-chan!
Wait, Ruruka! Ill save youugh!?
As Magna tried to run, the wolf-type Night Walker that had taken his sword earlier knocked him flying with a body slam. Thanks to the armor, it wasnt a fatal blow, but the impact still dazed Magna, who pathetically rolled on the ground. Before him, the expressionless face of the Night Walker holding his sister seemed to grin mockingly.
(Why is this happening? Why does the world impose such unreasonableness?)
His sister was about to be crushed. But strangely, the image that floated in Magnas mind was of his sister being cut in half.
(Am I going to be unable to do anything again? Am I just going to watch helplessly as everything is taken away, like that time?)
His current self, who had been saved by chance, overlapped with his past self who couldnt protect anything. The two pasts intersected, and determination and resolve filled Magna.
(No, thats not it. I should be able to do this. If the hero defeated the Demon King theres no way I can lose to Night Walkers!)
The gentle light of the full moon shining in the sky softly enveloped Magnas body. The pain receded and his consciousness blurred For just a moment, the memory of the true hero who defeated the Demon King in another world ignited his soul.
(I I will face this unreasonableness that came from outside to protect the everyday normalcy of this world!)
[Ah, now is the time to awaken. Hero, restore the world to how it should be.]
His heart leaped. Magnas entire body filled with a power he had never felt before yet somehow nostalgic.
Shine, [Luna Sword Lunarion]!
From his outstretched hand, a sword gathering the moons light extended. It was the demon-slaying sword that only the true hero could wield, the origin of the name [Lunar Silver Sword Brigade, Lunarion]. The Night Walker, pierced by the shining blade, crumbled instantly without any resistance, and Rurukas body fell to the ground, cushioned by the collapsing pile of rust.
Ugh, ah
However, it was just an ephemeral dream shown by the moon. As the price for drawing out an illusion from an impossible world, Magnas consciousness sank into darkness.
No Not yet
Enemies still remained. Fainting now would be meaningless. He tried to endure, but the current Magna was not a hero, just a farmer. There was no power there, and miracles dont happen twice.
But that was enough. Its precisely because it happens only once that its a miracle and because once is enough that its a miracle.
Whoa there. Ill take it from here.
A young man appeared like the wind, catching the fainting Magna as he collapsed. Although he hadnt grasped the situation at all, there was no hesitation about what needed to be done.
Geez, during the short time I was away, these leftovers did whatever they wanted But this is the End.
The Demon Kings declaration of the end would subjugate all the unreasonableness in the world with a single stroke.
