131-131 ・ Our stage




 When I approached Aurelian, he stood up unsteadily while I approached him.

"You.........do you realize that this is my dance floor now?
"Ha ha, your stage? Don't make me laugh. This is our stage. It's not a place for a rude person like you to be up here.
That's my line.

 Aurelian smiles triumphantly.

 Hmm, there's magic being used all over this space.
 It's a kind of wardrobe magic. It's the entire city.

It's a good idea to have a good time.

 Aurelian continues as he claims.

''This is a modified version of the magic created by the Demon God. It's a very good idea to be able to have a good time with your friends. It's not just a matter of time before you're able to get your hands on it.
"A demon god created this thing? What's the point of feeling good about yourself if you've appropriated the magic of those zakos?

 I feel like letting out a sigh.

'It's too late to beg for your life,'

 When Aurelian twisted his face in anger and held up his hand, the air around him changed completely.
 With that, the magic power within me is being modified.

''Now you're equal.

 Grinning, Aurelian raises the corners of his mouth.

 I see, I see.
 Analyzing the magic formula, I understood.

"All the wizards in the entire King's Landing they have the same strength.
That's why. The power of the people in the entire King's Landing has been levelled and given to you. Because there are some strong and some weak, this world is unhappy. It's impossible for you to defeat me when you no longer have the average strength of the city.
You think you've beaten me because of that?

 As far as I've analyzed the magical power within me.
 Indeed, it seems that what Aurelian is saying is true.

 Aurelian deploys a magical formula.

''This time you shall perish!

 He chanted and activated the Efreet Flare around me.

''Kurt!''

 I heard the voices of Lara, Marise, and Cynthia, who would be watching nearby.

 But what are the three of them anxious about?
 This kind of magic........


''It's still just a toy for children.


 I used my warding magic to completely block the Efreet Flare and looked at Aurelian again.

''What, what...?''

 Aurelian is stunned and opens his mouth.

'What do you mean? You're no longer the average person in King's Landing, so you can't stop my magic.
Do you know the word 'mid-value'?

 Averages are inevitably biased when there is a protruding entity.
 On the other hand, the median value can represent the middle number without being affected by some protruding entities.
 So what I'm trying to say is.

'I should have used the median figure, not the average. The average for King's Landing is fished out by me alone. Hence, with this much, I still have enough power left to beat you.
Oh, it can't be! How many people do you think King's Landing has! Does this mean that your power is so prominent that its impact is only minor?
Simply put, that's what it is.

 A thousand years ago, but in this decaying world this level of magic is enough to defeat an Aurelian.
 I take a step closer to the Aurelian.

''Shh, but! This isn't the only thing I have in my back pocket.

The atmosphere of the 《fair space》 changed again.
 The surrounding landscape seemed to change into a mess, like paint mixed into water.

''Your magic power is indeed enormous. But that magic power. I'll take that magic.

 Aurelian points his palm toward me.

 Then my magic power was absorbed by him.

If we were in Fair Space, this kind of imitation would be easy.

 While I'm doing this, my magic power is gradually shifting to Aurelian.

''How's that? Even if you're the best, there's nothing you can do in this fair space. I'm going to be able to receive your magical power and gain even more power. I'll be able to control this royal city and the world.
Hmm.

 But, that's it.
The magic of 《Fair Space》 itself is quite well done. There are many improvements, but I never thought it would be possible to manipulate the opponent's magic so freely.
 I'm going to show my respect for that and play along with his intentions.


"It would take a long time to absorb all this power, if it's just a little bit at a time. Take more than that.


 I deliberately sent more magic power to the Aurelian to be sucked away with.

 Then.

''Guaaaahhhh!''

 Aurelian screams and sprawls on the ground.
 His body is in excruciating pain and his mind must be on the verge of collapse.

 Still, Aurelian looks up at me.

''What is this huge amount of magical power........! Is this what your magic is all about?
''What, you've only sent a tenth of it in and you've already uprooted yourself. So you were going to take all my magic with you?

 I'm so stunned that I can't say a thing.
 Let's say it's good to the point that he tried to suck up my magic power and make it his own.......
 The problem is that if you accept all of my magic power, the container called Aurelian will be crushed.
 The more magic power you have, the better. If you don't control it well, it can cause you to run out of control.
 He was overconfident in himself.
 That's probably why he thought it was naive to think that it was okay to accept my magic.

''You have a high head.
Ugh!

 I stepped on Aurelian's head with my right foot as he was still unable to stand up.

 You've stirred up the royal capital this much on this fun Culture Day.
 It's time for the finale.

''Demon sword........or do you have another sword that's appropriate for this time?

 I summon a new sword in my hand.

That sword...!

 I heard Aurelian gasp.


 --Shell Aves.


 A sword that has been in my hands for over 500 years.

"If I am unable to do so I will entrust Kurt with this sword. I want you to use it to strike down that foolish king.

 Riley, I certainly got your message.

"Oh, I'm gonna get beat up again, aren't I? Will Riley's sword strike you down again?

 Aurelian, who has lost his power, has no way to resist the glowing Shell Aves that I raise.
 Aurelian's body turns into a particle of light and slowly begins to disappear.

''Gosh, you've been waiting five hundred years for this? If it weren't for you, I'd be using this magic to take over the world. That's ridiculous...
What are you talking about?

 A flash.
 The Aurelian was torn apart by Shell Aves, causing his body to completely disappear.

 To reach Riley five hundred years ago.
 Finally, I said, "I'm not going to challenge me.

'You were a thousand years too soon to challenge me.
