Chapter 65 - Hero's Might

Ayase hurriedly asked "What! You are doing?"

"I am killing that thing!" Agawa replied still in deep concentration.

"But How!" Ayase exclaimed but only a second later she realized something and said frightfully "Wait! Don't tell me you are using that" to her query Agawa just remained silent deep in concentration his face solemn,

Listening to their conversation the surrounding people were curious too. Finally, they couldn't take it anymore and were about to butt in when a terrifying aura suddenly started building up around Agawa's sword that sent chill down their spines, they felt they were freezing and couldn't speak a word well almost all of them however both Kenji and Ayato were shocked by the realization and couldn't help but mutter.

"S-Rank Skill!"

"When did he learn to use that!"

Even though they both had an S-Rank Skill themselves having it and using them are two different matters entirely. It isn't that they couldn't use their S-Rank sill it is just that they will be severely injured after using it mainly because their physiques aren't powerful enough to tank the aftereffects of using a S-Rank Skill nor do they have enough mana to utilize it. Forget S-Rank skill they weren't even able to utilize their A-Rank Skill fully both of them knew the difficulty of using their S-Rank Skill they were sure they couldn't utilize their S-Rank skill at this stage, but now seeing Agawa going against their belief they knowing what they do were more dumbfounded than the others.

However, Ayase on the side showed a worried expression unlike others she knew the consequences of this choice.

Agawa right now was going through worst pain of his life he felt like needles were prickling all over his skin all the mana he had left, and he had recovered in the meantime was all used in a second, he activated his skill. Right now he was powering the skill solely by depleting the mana reserves of his body and spirit after this one move there would be no surprise if he stayed bedridden for a week, but at this time Agawa himself was shocked because even though it looked like he was using the skill only he knew that he only dipped his toe in the large pool of water and even after that, the power utilized is anything he has ever felt.

"Hkhmm"

Looking at him perspiring and listening to his grunt Ayase worries continuously kept on increasing observing him, she had enough and was about to stop him when Agawa opened his eyes with a sharp glint within them he looked at Ayase and assured her with a smile than he looked towards the beast his gaze piercing through the fog looking it in the eye he placed his sword above his head in a wide swing position and after a heroic shout he swinged his sword sending a crescent white colored swing hurling its way the crescent blade parted the fog in its way and went towards the beast.

Understanding the power behind the swing the beast gave a shout and erected its best defense possible the beast itself went into its shell to survive the collision but there wasn't anything it could do to survive the crescent swing that went through its defenses easily like going through the paper and it cleanly bisected the beast without any obstruction and continued its way finally ending its path by collision with the dungeon wall which resulted in an explosion of power the crescent swing contained. Slowly cracks like web began to emerge in the wall and before long the whole wall came crashing down which in turn caused the bridge which looked robust at the starting without anything to hold it also started obliterating. It started with the end of the bridge attached to the wall; the process itself was so slow as if it was waiting for something to happen.

Looking at the subsequent destruction that took place after the fog which blocked their view got blown away by the shockwave of the power released by Agawa every one of them present had their mouth agape looking at the two bisected pieces of the beast, they all felt shiver run down their spine. They all were entranced by the sight before them. Except for Kenji who at the moment was gritting his teeth with Ayato having a similar solemn look present on his face while Ayase was quick to check upon Agawa who at the moment was facing adverse effect of the skill he used as he was sprouting blood and was on the verge of fainting but was quickly held off by Ayase.

Who had nothing but worry and concern etched on her face for her childhood friend She couldn't help but scold him even though he was critically injured.

"Idiot! Who told you to be a hero?"

Listening to her scolding him even though he was in so much pain Agawa couldn't help but smile wryly but still he couldn't help but feel warm inside of him when he saw how much Ayase cared about him just as was about to reply to her to ease her worries before drifting to sleep he was interrupted by a large smacking sound which jolted him to consciousness.
