The laboratory that I was in was in the verge of collapsing. The large glass containers were broken without mercy, its’ contents rolling on the floor.
The red solutions spreaded slowly all over.
[Onii-sama…..why? Why, do you do something like this]
That’s where Mimir came in. That’s why she’s been confined in the research facility and had her blood sampled regularly. When I found her, she might have lost consciousness due to blood loss.
And then, when she finally woke up, Rafal immediately went to suck on her blood. Judging from how Mimir looked when that happened, she seemed to have no idea why this kind of thing even happened.
When Rafal finally satisfied, he ditched Mimir to the corner of the room.
[Replenishment complete. I drank quite a lot. See, my power is returning back. No, even more than before.]
[Rafal, she’s still your sister.]
[Sister? No way, I never consider her as one. Well, she’s nothing but a partner to kill some time with for me…..that foolish woman. Who would’ve accepted the daughter of a woman who kicked my mother out as a sister! She’s merely a tool to replenish my power now. Hahahahahah]
[She’s truly a stupid woman. I remember from when she’s just aware of herself, she would obediently follow my teaching to look down on other people. What a laugh. She grew up as fool just like her father. Don’t you think so too, Fate? She used to treat you like a garbage after all.]
[….Rafal…..you……..cut it out already]
[Now then, how about a second round]
[What’s the matter, Fate. Is this all you got?]
[Kuh…]
『Here comes the space by passing. And a multi stages one at that！』
[What?]
The black spear sunk into my left flank.
[You did fairly well, Fate. I was aiming for your heart, but you managed to twist your body at the last second, didn’t you? Even so, you still got hit. How is it, is it hurt? It’s hurt, isn’t it? Does it remind you of the old days?]
[Gaha…]
[To feel at ease when you haven’t won yet, what a fool you are…..Rafal.]
[You…..let go!]
[If you say that, why should I let go?]
Starting from where I grabbed the spear, the petrification ran beyond space, through the spear handle, and eventually reached the area where Rafal is holding it.
[Rafal!!]
I raised my magic power output. The petrification became even faster, spreading up to Rafal’s finger, then whole hands without stopping.
[Guaaaaaaaaaaa]
『Vanity is useless for you. If something went wrong, it may even suck your blood dry』
[I know already. You’re my only partner.]
『As if I don’t know what Fate is truly thinking！』
I dropped the black spear Vanity on the ground, and faced Rafal.
[You’ve lost your black spear. There is no way you’ll win this.]
[What do you even mean by that. My power is equal to you. I can regrow these easy]
Rafal said while staring at me then his lost hands.
I had no idea how strong it was originally. However, if the space jumping strike was merely it’s normal ability, what would happen if it has a secret technique much like a regular Mortal Sin weapons? This couldn’t be taken easy.
Where did he find them, the black spear Vanity as well as the power of Nightwalker? Rafal couldn’t properly use them all because it’s not his own power originally. As if it’s a rushed attempt.
It’s as Aaron said after all, all those powers were too much for Rafal to handle.
[Once again. It’s your loss.]
[Do you really think, gagagagagagagagag………gaa…..]
[Rafal?]
He started to repeat incoherent words. And then, he also began talking to himself.
[Wait, I can still do it. This isn’t the promise. Give me some more time….]
[Rafal Burix-kun is really a disappointment. I thought I’m gonna enjoy this a bit longer. And I have even give him all my power. Don’t you think so too, Gluttony-kun, Greed-kun?]
What the, what has happened all of a sudden!? Rafal never called me Gluttony-kun before.
[Is this one no good? His body was good as a host for me to recover myself. A body filled with vengeful thought is always the best kind after all. But I guess it’ll need more than this for a full recovery. In that case, until the time comes, I’ll just grant my host his wish.]
Rafal said so while sporting a smile that was very unlike him.
[Gluttony-kun, I wonder if you can stop this. Let’s start with this!]
『This, get away from here！』
『Quickly』
[Yeah, I know, but]
『You really are……』
[What in the world is happening? That girl is Mimir, isn’t she? What has become of Rafal? Hado and the other nightwalkers had turned into dust and disappeared. I can only think that Fate has somehow defeated Rafal….]
[About that….]
