Chapter 26

Finally .

“Arnos . ”

Sasha called my name .

I slowly got up, activated my demon eyes and looked at the magic formation only to find it still unfinished .

“Don’t tell me you couldn’t finish it in time?”

“That’s wrong . It will be completed by you . ”

Sasha raises her hands and invokes magic . The moonlight that was pouring into the room scatters off into countless rays of light and fills in the missing pieces of the formation .

A huge completed nature magic circle fills the room .

I immediately started analysing the formation .

An accomplished mage in this age might need a whole day to decipher the hundreds of thousands of magic characters but I saw it all the moment I looked at it .

This is easy, however…… .

“Kuku, kukukuku, kuhahahaha!! I see . Indeed I see it, Sasha . You never intended to win right from the beginning . ”

Sasha smiled at my words .

“I know your power . Even with such a game, I would never have won no matter how good I was, however, I refuse to lose to fate . ”

I see . She doesn’t want to lose to fate .

“As you guessed, my purpose is to have you use this great magic . ”

“You planned well . You have to activate this magic to win and if I lost you’d order me to activate it anyway . ”

Since I’m under <Zekt> I have to cast it . No matter who wins or loses the magic will still be cast which is what Sasha wants .

Of course with my power it’s not like I couldn’t get out of it but……… . that would be inelegant and tasteless .

“All right . In honour of your wisdom and courage, I’ll accept the victory . ”

I hold my hand out to the circle, synchronise with the magic wavelength of Sasha and activate the formation .

“This is the first time I’ve seen this magic . What is it?”

“Origin Tuning <Zekshiz> . It’s a magic that I developed . ”

<Zekshiz> appears to be a magic that tampers with the wavelength of magic power .

It’s not a superficial synchronisation like I just did . It changes the actual origin and makes you like another person .

Flame Prison Annihilation Cannon <Geo Greys> is a high level magic that Sasha could barely cast so this circle would be beyond her power levels so that’s why she needed me to cast it .

The target of <Zekshiz> is Sasha herself .

“Your resolution . You’ve fully shown it to me . ”

I activate <Zekshiz> .

Sasha body begins to shine while blue particles dance about like fireflies .

The light gets stronger and stronger and the whole room is dyed blue before returning to its normal colour .

“… . . is it over……?”

“Aah, it’s my win . Do you understand?”

Sasha nods .

“You can’t lie . I’m going to use Though Domain <Liknos> . ”

<Liknos> conveys the thoughts of the person inside its effect .

It can be prevented by using anti-magic but with me as her partner it’s impossible .

“I don’t mind . ”

I look at Misha who nods as if to say no problem .

I activate <Liknos>

“Misha . ”

At the centre of the huge room the Necron sisters face each other while moonlight is pouring down creating a fantastical scene .

“You’ll disappear in a short while . ”

Misha nods .

“What’s it like?”

Misha answers as indifferently as always .

“It’s not scary . ”

“I see . ”

Sasha stares straight at her younger sister .

“You want to know the truth?”

“…… . Nn……”

“That’s good . Because this is the end I’ll answer . ”

Sasha takes a deep breath

If you are conscious of <Liknos> your thoughts will be transmitted through the magic .

[This is the end . ]

[You never existed since the beginning . ]

[You are only returning to the original form . Me . ]

[An existence similar to me, always by my side but never an eyesore . ]

[If I think about it, it was good . ]

[As a child I couldn’t control my <Demon Eyes of Ruin>……… . ]

[Only you were by me . Only you looked in my eyes . Only you smiled at me . ]

[Because you helped me practise I ended up being able to control my eyes and stop hurting people . ]

[I could go out and laugh with other mazoku . ]

[But for you who doesn’t exist, you were only a servant who followed . You were always alone . ]

[For 15 years I’ve lived happily enough and that’s enough . It’s fine already so I give my remaining life to you . ]

[You said it was destiny but I will not acknowledge it . ]

[Our soul and body is divided in 2 . ]

[I’m the original but I always thought there should be a way to change it so I researched magic all this time . ]

[Separation Fusion Reincarnation <Dino Jikusess> . What distinguishes you from me is our magic wavelength so I created Origin Tuning <Zekshiz> . ]

[I changed the origin of my power to match yours so <Dino Jikusess> won’t know who’s the original . ]

[It was impossible for me but thanks to Arnos I succeeded . ]

[Another magic, Subject Alternation <Delt> will make you the original . ]

[I can do it . ]

[<Delt> is the last piece to use . Please be aware that you are you . ]

[Reject me, reject Sasha Necron . ]

[Everything I’ve done has been in preparation for this day . ]

[Everything was to make you hate me . ]

[You’ll be okay . ]

[Here at the end I need to tell you that I’m sorry I didn’t tell you the truth Misha . ]

[Since I’m disappearing I don’t have to worry about paying the price of lying while under <Zekt> . ]

“Nee, doll-san . ”

[Nee, Misha . ]

“I’ve hated you so much all this time . ”

[I’ve always loved you so much . ]

Sasha betrays the contract but I destroyed <Zekt> right at that moment .

“Therefore”

[Therefore]

“Have a nice day . ”

[Goodbye Misha . I love you so much my younger sister . ]

Sasha hugs her younger sister . She doesn’t seem to have realised but she’s smiling .

[Are you smiling as well? I can’t see your face . ]

[I will change it . You dying . Such a fate . I’ll break it . ]

“…… . Subject Alternation <Delt>…… . ”

[Stay healthy Misha . Bye-bye . ] (1)

The moment Sasha casts the magic both of them are engulfed in a dazzling light .

The light begins to settle and the shadow of 2 people begins to appear .

After another 20 seconds, the light disappears completely .

The figures of 2 people who haven’t changed are still there .

With a surprised expression, Sasha stares at the face of her younger sister .

“…… . . Such a……”

[I’ve prepared all this time . ]

[I worked everything out so nothing would go wrong . ]

[However…… . ]

The thoughts of her heart flowed out . She spills words filled with despair .

“……Why…… . . ?”

Sasha’s magic failed .

She was ready to burst into tears at any moment .

“What kind of magic?”

Even if Misha asks Sasha just makes a sad face .

After staring at her older sister for a while Misha says

“Sasha is bad at lying . ”

It’s an indifferent tone but kind at the same time .

“I didn’t know why you were lying . ”

Nothing but good will comes from Misha’s eyes while she looks at her older sister .

“But I like the clumsy Sasha . ”

Sasha bites her lip and strongly holds back her tears but a few drops begin to fall .

Misha must reject Sasha or else <Delt> won’t take effect .

Sasha plan was certainly perfect but she made one miscalculation . Misha loved her older sister more than she thought and her love was not affected by Sasha’s acting .

It’s sad . Sasha entire plan to save Misha had failed .

“… . . Idiot……”

A voice that sounded like it was being squeezed out resounded .

“… . . You idiot……you……that much… . . that much……I… . I did so many terrible things…… . !”

Sasha appeals to Misha

“I said some awful things…… . I hurt you…… . why?………why……?”

Sasha knees buckled under her despair and she buried her face into Misha’s chest .

“… . Please… . . Misha…… . . hate me . Please reject me…… . ”

Sasha entreats Misha with tears spilling down her face .

“Otherwise I can’t help you . I’ll disappear in your place . ”

Misha places her hand on Sasha’s head gently rubs it .

“There there . ”

Placing her other hand on Sash’s shoulders Misha says .

“Don’t mind it . I am the one who never existed from the beginning . ”

“That’s not true! Misha is here! I want to protect you! I love you . You are important . You’re my sister . I’ll destroy your fate!”

Sasha clings to Misha tightly .

“… . Please……don’t disappear…… . don’t leave me…… . ”

Misha smiles a troubled smile .

“I’m not disappearing . I’m joining with Sasha . I’ll always be with you . ”

Time is almost up .

Misha’s time as Misha was almost up but she looked satisfied while patting the crying Sasha .

“I was able to reconcile . ”

Misha looks back at me

“Arnos’ help . ”

“I’m glad . ”

Misha nods .

“Do you have any other requests?”

Misha shakes her head .

“I have no more regrets . ”

Looking me straight in the eyes she continues .

“I thought we could never reconcile but in my life, two miracles have happened . ”

“What are you saying?”

Misha tilts her head at me .

“The real miracle happens now . ”

Holding up my hand I cast Demon King Army <Guys> .

(1) Misha hasn’t spoken at all yet . This is all Sasha .
