321 – The End of the Sword Lord 2 (side Tolman)
Innumerable rarans gather in a single spot of dazzling green. The surrounding vegetation withers and dies, then bathes everything in bright red light as it is consumed by the spreading blaze. The green and red light permeate into the surrounding terrain. The gathered rarans disappear from view as they are engulfed by each other’s light. The dead trees that fallen around burst into flames, sealing our escape.
I don’t know what is happening any more. Perhaps I am no longer in the real world, but the realm of the dead?
I can only watch the scene unfold with my sword held ready in blank amazement. I feel heat from my back, then shake myself to extinguish the flames that are spreading to me, bringing myself back to my senses. I look around and see dazed soldiers, causing anger to well up inside me.
“Kgh! Kill them! I don’t know why, but they’re gathered in one spot! Kill! Kill them! What are you doing!?”
Even hearing my voice, they hardly move. The most they do is exchange bewildered glances. Why that is, I understand well. The rarans are terrifying.
“Kill them! If you just stand like that, your life will be in danger! Kill! Those who contribute to killing them will get a special reward! You should know well that I am not stingy! So hurry up and kill them!”
A single soldier draws his bow upon hearing my encouragement. Just as I think this will be enough to change the flow, ten rarans immediately appear around him and leap at him. The soldiers who see that scream and drop their weapons, running in every direction. Some of them try to climb over a burning tree, causing them to burst into flames and writhe while beating their bodies to extinguish themselves.
While that happens, the clumped rarans merge into a huge mass of soft light, and more rarans pile into that mass.
