World’s Fastest Level up! - Chapter 162

Chapter 162 – Ruler and King

◇◆◇

Looking at the man who was crawling on the ground– Amane Rin, Cain tightened his guard.

Rin has already been fatally injured. However, earlier, he challenged Ifrit in a similar state as now. Cain knows that a wounded beast is the most dangerous. That is why, without letting his guard down, he manifests another magic attack to completely trample Rin.

“… What?”

But immediately after that, Rin chose to take an action that Cain didn’t expect. He pulled the ice sword that the silver-haired woman left behind. Simultaneously, the ice barrier that protected the people behind him disappeared. And then, shortly after witnessing the disappearance of the ice barrier, Rin rushed toward Cain with a silver sword in his right hand and the ice sword in his left hand.

“Is he trying to forsake his friend after all that happened?”

For the first time, Cain couldn’t read Rin’s thoughts. In addition, he thought that it would be risky to leave everything to his intuition here. Other people besides Rin were just ants whom he could kill anytime. That is why, for now, Cain chose to focus on Rin, who took a mysterious action.

Suddenly, Rin’s figure disappeared in an instant, which undoubtedly means he just used his transfer skill. Naturally, Cain readied himself waiting for Rin to appear anytime, but it ended up pointless.

Because he passed Cain and headed towards Ifrit in the back. Cain never thought that Rin’s aim was Ifrit and not himself. And when he realized it, it was already too late, as the ice sword had pierced Ifrit’s forehead, destroying its magic stone, causing the flames that covered Ifrit to disappear. And Rin was just standing still on the corpse.

Having lost the source of magical power, Cain was still looking at Rin without being perturbed.

“What a surprise. When I just wondered what you’re going to do, I never thought you’d kill Ifrit. Let me tell you, even if you stopped my supply of magic power, you bastard can never defeat me. Or maybe, you are trying to return to the surface by yourself even if you have to take the ice barrier that protected your allies?”

”
”
“I won’t run. I pulled this sword to declare that I will be the one who protects them instead. Besides, if it’s about the power to kill you– I have it now”

“…. What?”

Suddenly, an uncomfortable feeling assaulted Cain. Because the atmosphere that Rin emitted was clearly different from before, making Cain involuntarily step back due to the abnormal aura Rin emitted.

(… I took a step back? No, there is no way. This must be just my imagination. The difference in our power is obvious. It’s not something that could be overcome with willpower alone!)

Crimson-blood aura immediately burst from Cain and gathered in the sky, thinking that he wanted to prove how stupid Rin’s idea is.

“Even if you spouted such nonsense, it’s useless. Because the fact that you ants will be killed by me cannot be changed— Thus, die, Dance of Blood Storm!”

Then, more than hundreds of blood lightning fell from the sky. And those lightning approaches not just towards Rin, but also the whole room– including Hana and the others.

Perhaps for Rin, who has a transfer skill, he should be able to avoid even this attack. But, he couldn’t protect the others. Because Rin doesn’t possess such powers. The moment he pulled the ice sword, their future was sealed.

(Now, this is the end!)

Cain widely raised his mouth as he watched the coming of his magic–.

◇◆◇

–facing numerous magic that was released just to kill them, Rin thought.

What entered his mind was a certain girl. He longed to reach the back of the girl– or to be precise, the girl herself. He wanted to be someone who could protect everyone by herself like her. Rin was certain that at the end of his goal of seeking strength, that back is there.

However, he knew that the current him was just a tiny existence. He doesn’t have the power to protect everyone. Even so–

“Even if I don’t have the power to protect everyone– At least, I wanted to protect everything that reflected in this field of vision”

That’s why he declared. A way to overcome this despair.

(Transfer Within Dungeon Lv30–)

The word that surpassed the logic of the world.

“—– Peace Ruler”

And then, the mechanism of the world was being overwritten.

The hundreds of magic attacks that reflected in Rin’s field of vision suddenly disappeared from their place. At the next moment– they appeared surrounding Cain.

“What?!”

Cain, who suddenly turned from being the hunter to the prey, created a blood wall in a hurry while opening his eyes in shock. However, that alone couldn’t stop everything, and a number of magic attacks struck his body.

A cloud of dust fluttered. And from the middle of that, Cain appeared, in a bloodied body due to his own magic. Then, he glared at Rin, angered.

“I see! So it was like that! The reason you killed Ifrit wasn’t to cut off the source of my magic power or to return to the surface! But to raise your level and acquire a new skill! And the one you took was– a power to control not only yourself, but even magic!”

Rin pointed the Cursed at Cain, as if telling that he doesn’t have any duty to reply to that question.

It signalled the new reign had risen. The ruler of space quietly yet with a strong will declared at Cain.

“— Here I go, Vampire King. I will use everything that exists here and defeat you!”

His eyes were deep blue, just like the depths of the sea.
