Volume 2 — Chapter 6 — Overnight Incident Part 3
— — —
Dawn breaks in the dark sky. The city with its citizens hadn’t awakened yet spread out below me.
I was now standing on the city walls of the capital. The reason for this was to thoroughly destroy Curtis's contrivance, which was about to be launched against us.
What was Curtis doing after his escape? It was an artificial outbreak of a stampede of Demonic Beasts. He was planning to attack the capital with about 50,000 of these beasts.
All Demonic Beasts were undoubtedly enemies with intelligent life forms. Normally, there was no way he could control them as he wished.
However, Curtis had the means to accomplish this.
As expected, that method was Mind Magic. Or perhaps I should say that it was a spell that serves as a stepping stone to Mind Magic?
He seemed to have discovered, “A powerful force that could interfere with the mind” Magic and developed a spell to apply it to hypnosis. The flickering of fire magic appeals to the sense of sight, the vibration of earth magic appeals to the sense of touch, the sound of wind magic appeals to the sense of hearing, and the taste of water magic appeals to the sense of taste. The process of hypnotism, which normally takes a considerable amount of time, was shortened by substituting it with magic.
It was much less effective and time-consuming than true Mind Magic. In addition, from the fact that it was not used during espionage, I could expect that it would not be very effective on a subject with an ego, such as a human being. It was a rather useless spell.
However, this invention was revolutionary at a time when the existence of Mind Magic was unknown. It seems that it was not for nothing that he was hailed as a genius. Perhaps Curtis' research would lead to the development and suggestion of Mind Magic in the future(In the Game)
Using such hypnotism, Curtis was about to force 50,000 Demonic Beasts into the Foranada’s Capital.
This would make up for the failure of the assassination—or perhaps not. Whether it succeeded or not, he was going to have them attack the capital. He probably wanted to say that both me and Caron were killed by the pack of demonic beasts. Even with hypnosis, which applies to Mana, it would have taken a reasonable amount of time to prepare a number of 50,000.
—It was really trivial.
I don't know what motivates them to go to such lengths. Well, I don't really want to know. But I was sure that Curtis was going to take away my family, which was my everything.
I was willing to turn a blind eye, but I would not tolerate it any longer. In order to protect what I hold dear, I will do everything in my power to crush the intentions of my adversaries.
“I see them, Onii-sama.”
As I clenched my fists in anger, which had been rekindled, I heard a voice from Caron.
She was standing next to me. After I sent Shion back to the infirmary, she asked me to go with her to the front.
To tell the truth, I wanted her to stay in the rear where she would be safe. In times of emergency, A Light Magician like Caron could be most effective in shelters and treatment facilities in the rear. As long as I was fighting on the front line, there was no place for her.
But I could not reject her. It was not because I’m a Siscon. It was because I felt a strong will in Caron’s eyes.
Caron had a deep-seated rage in her heart. She was filled with emotions equal to or greater than mine.
That was how important Shion was to her. She had spent time with her since she was two years old, and she recognized her as a family just as much as I did.
Caron wasn't a good-natured person to the extent that she wouldn't get angry if her loved ones were hurt. I guess it also includes things for me that I had no choice but to be protected. I laughed at the fact that she blamed not only her enemies but herself as well.
Caron then said,
“I will not interfere with Onii-sama. Please let me see how this ends.”

Hearing this, I allowed her to accompany me. I was convinced that she was neither angry, vengeful, nor desperate, so there was no need for me to worry about her.
Well, if things went as planned, there would be no danger to Caron. Even if she does, it will be at the very end of the process. So, for now, I let her stand comfortably next to me.
“That's a lot, indeed.”
I look toward the horizon in response to Caron's words.
The hordes of Demonic Beasts were roaming around. The way the beasts, ranging from small to large, march in formation was nothing short of bizarre. If one of these beasts were to hit the capital, the city would collapse without any way to deal with it.
Fortunately, there were no human settlements along the way. It was a good thing that we spared ourselves the trouble of evacuation.
From a distance, it was about time for the walking vibrations of the crowd to reach us. We should get this over with before the citizens notice. I didn't want to cause them any unnecessary anxiety.
“Let’s get started.”
“Yes.”
I called out to Caron and took on Six appearance through [Disguise]. I was going to do something much more spectacular than this, so I was going to put all the credit and responsibility on Six.
Incidentally, I was invisible by [Cover Texture] until now, so my true identity wouldn’t be exposed by any chance.
After abandoning the cover-up, I finally set out to deal with Stampede.
I ostentatiously held both of my arms up to the sky.
“Star Fall!”
The sky, which had been mostly black, instantly began to shine brilliantly. Despite the clouds spreading over the entire surface, the light penetrated through these obstacles and poured down to the earth. It was as if thunderclouds were rising.
Of course, it was not thunder. Something is falling from the sky. Something shining from beyond the clouds was about to pour down.
Finally, the true nature of the light source was revealed. With a heavy bass sound, a number of lumps appeared, cutting through the sea of clouds.
If there were a third person present, they would have seen it fall and pointed out that it was a meteorite. The light falling from the sky, measuring about 10 meters in diameter, must have made such an impression.
In fact, Caron, who had not heard the details of how ‘m going to defeat the Demonic Beasts, kept her cute mouth open.
Well, it wasn't a meteorite or anything, that was—
—To spoil the story, that light mass was [Shoot]. What do you mean the size is totally different? It was adjustable. On the other hand, I could make it so small that it was practically invisible to the naked eye.
Since the Mana efficiency becomes extremely poor, I basically operate it at the size of a bullet, but it was useful for large-scale extermination battles such as this. If I had to give it a name, I would say it was, [Star].
While I watched, hundreds of [Star] attacked the horde of Demonic Beasts.
Ten-meter-sized masses of Mana fell to the ground without a pause. Of course, since they were materialized, their mass was just as great as it appears. The force of the impact was immeasurable, and the roar echoed through the city, which was several kilometers away.
The residents of the city were so shocked that they began to wake up to see what was happening. By the time they look outside the city walls, however, it would all be over. There won't be a second of uncertainty, and they would witness only traces of the stampede.
Even the screams and death of Demonic Beasts were drowned out by the [Star], and the one-sided play of overthrow continued.
The tragedy of the destruction of the capital would turn into a comedy in which the enemy forces would die out in just ten minutes.
