Hi, I’m the Hero’s Father ～I’m Sorry For All The Trouble My Foolish Son Has Caused You～ - Chapter 99

Chapter 99   The Demi-Human Girl, Outside of Human Realm

◆Wiel◆

“──Hehe. Mion-chan, you’re really playing the big sister role well.”

Standing on the roof, Wiel’s eyes, glowing mysteriously, reflect the figures of the two below.

She uses a magic spell effective only against those with magical power, 《Invisible Sight》.

This spell allows her to jack someone’s visual perception by synchronizing with their magical power.

It can be detected by powerful individuals like Neptune, but it seems Mion doesn’t have the strength to notice it yet.

Using the visual to monitor remotely seemed unnecessary now.

(That opponent is quite a formidable one, but… well, they should be fine with two of them.)

She ceases the 《Invisible Sight》 spell and surveys her surroundings.

The fighting in the city is nearly subdued.

Gang members are captured everywhere, and the Kingdom’s army is roaring in victory. The citizens are sound asleep due to Wiel’s magic.

When they wake up, they’ll likely recognize it as a bad dream.

The holes are almost sealed, and there’s no sign of reinforcements coming.

She breathes out softly and turns her attention towards the castle.

(This presence, could it be the Kraken…? But that should have been dealt with by Croix… which means, is it a similar type?)

Given the magnitude of the presence, it might be a child.

Honestly, whether it’s similar or a child doesn’t matter.

She senses Croix’s presence there.

Croix is there.

So there’s no need to worry. She can leave everything to Croix.

“I should focus on repairing the damaged city then.”

Wiel cloaks herself in wind magic and silently leaps down from the roof.

◆Mion & Donna◆

“Ha──!”

“Ha…!”

Dona’s sword strike attacks the knife wielder.

But the knife wielder counters with equal ferocity.

The clash of intense sword strikes produces sparks and shockwaves.

Mion, synchronizing her movements, slides close to the ground and unleashes a kick.

The kick’s power is enough to crush an average opponent in an instant, but the knife wielder twists in mid-air to evade.

He throws two throwing knives from his waist at the pair.

Mion easily dodges the knives with her enhanced reflexes and physical abilities.

Dona, not to be outdone, deflects the incoming knives with his sword.

It’s clear that the knife wielder is accustomed to fighting multiple opponents.

Having faced death, his demeanor, presence, and pressure are on a different level.

“Orra!!”

“!”

As several knives are dodged, one of the gang members swings a hammer.

Even with enhanced physical strength, this cannot be blocked.

Mion jumps upwards, uses the ceiling to leap directly downwards, and in an instant kicks through the gang member’s neck, claiming his life.

However, she can’t afford to relax.

The knife wielder attacks Mion with the weapon of his fallen comrade.

She barely manages to evade, but a slight cut on her cheek causes blood to flow.

“To think you’d cut a woman’s face, your upbringing is lacking.”

“Beauty doesn’t matter to those who are about to die.”

“You must not be very popular.”

“I am married.”

“That’s quite rude…!”

With incredible speed, Mion approaches and delivers a kick to the abdomen.

The knife wielder crosses his weapons to block, but the power of Mion’s kick shatters his sword.

“Ugh…!?”

“Dona!”

“Yes!”

The moment the knife wielder shows a brief moment of hesitation, Donna closes in immediately.

He brings his sword down from above.

However, at the last moment, the knife wielder blocks with his knife and counters.

Taking advantage of the opening, Mion quickly circles behind the knife wielder and performs three rapid vertical spins.

Enhanced strength. Centrifugal force. And with that momentum…

“Master Croix’s direct technique──Mountain Crushing Kick!!”

“?!”

Mion delivered a heel drop straight onto the knife wielder’s shoulder.

With a crushing sound, the right shoulder shattered, and blood splattered everywhere.

The impact wasn’t fatal, but the heel drove deep into the ground.

Goooshhh!!!

The ground heaved upward, and cracks spread throughout the cave.

The intense shock and quake made the knife wielder stagger, creating a significant opening.

Of course, Dona wasn’t one to miss such an opening──.

“OOOOOOOOOOH!!”

With a fierce battle cry, Dona’s sword, powered by all his might, slashed diagonally from the knife wielder’s shoulder to his side.

“Guuh…”

With a tremendous amount of blood flowing, the knife wielder fell without uttering a word.

His pupils were dilated, and he was not breathing.

He was completely dead.

“Wha… What…!?”

“No way, to think he’d lose…!”

The gang members, unable to believe what had just happened, were thrown into panic.

An organization loses its strength when its top fighter dies.

The only task left was to deal with the remaining remnants.

As Mion thought this, the ground rumbled more violently, and cracks appeared within the cave.

It seemed Mion’s technique had lowered the cave’s structural integrity.

At this rate, they would be buried alive.

“Ugh. Dona, we need to retreat now!”

“Y-Yes!”

Dona quickly retrieved the treasured knife and, along with Mion, rushed out of the cave.

A few minutes later.

Thanks to Croix’s hellish training, they reached the surface with extraordinary speed just as the cave collapsed and the surrounding soil subsided slightly.

“Haah, haah… I thought I was going to die…”

“Senior, that was a bit too much.”

“I-I couldn’t help it. I didn’t expect it to turn out like this…!”

Even though the cave had weakened ground, no one would have expected such a result from a single strike.

Mion was steadily walking the path of the extraordinary.
