Lightning Empress Maid Chapter 84

I looked at my lost arm.

…

Even when I pressed down on my shoulder, the dripping blood told of the severity of Nanaki’s wound. I’ve gotten wounded many times until now, but such a large obvious wound is a first. The stabbing pain and horrible heat, the illusion of the arm that should be gone hurting. Yes, Nanaki’s arm dropped there. Something that should be there is not, quite a strange experience.

strange indeed…

“…….Exceed Magia.”

“Oi……why do you know?”

Mother

That is my line.

father

Until the end, Mother never taught Nanaki that magic, saying that it was dangerous. The power of destruction that birthed infinite runes that crawled all over the body. The proof of the absolute strong that bends all laws. A detestable curse that even devoured Mother who had high resistance against magic necrosis. Yes, that was the cost. The cost of the t.i.tle of strongest.

but nanaki?

These minor details don’t matter anymore.

Nanaki just needs

Leon, Nanaki will not think about that name, that existence. Nanaki and him are probably not total strangers. By asking just once thing, the relationship between Nanaki and him will be made clear. But that is an unnecessary thing. That is something unnecessary for Nanaki.

to win

“nhaha……”

even if against

All is under one sky, Nanaki will not waver.

(T/N:idiom referring to being prepared to focus on and work towards a single objective no matter what/where.)

That is certainly proof of the strongest. The magic used by Mother who even Nanaki could not reach. Ah, Friend. This is good fortune. Nanaki has gained an opportunity, an opportunity to obtain the true t.i.tle of strongest. Without equal throughout the world, the strength that Nanaki displays must be as such.

the strongest

So that Mother can rest peacefully, so that Nanaki can survive.

Nanaki must survive

“……Excuse my rudeness. Shall we continue? Leon-oniisama.”

“…….what did you say?”

“Nothing, nothing you need to worry about. A trivial matter.”

inconsequential

Because Nanaki knows, what is necessary is not the truth.

truth is subjecdtive

Family is the ultimate existence. But, Nanaki will not recognise someone as family simply through blood. If he is a blood relation of respected and beloved Mother, then an apology for thinking he is enervated is necessary. Mother would never allow weakness. Otherwise you cannot survive, Mother knew that better than anyone.

blood is not all

Yes, weakness is unnecessary. Leon’s power having used Exceed Magia is certainly tremendous, it might even be able to exceed Nanaki’s power. So, what about it? Do I give up? Do I beg for forgiveness? What a joke. Like that I can’t survive.

nanaki never surrenders

There is absolutely no way I can change the way I live by this point. Indeed, disgrace is not fitting for Nanaki. I would like you to look at this arm that was sent flying. Is this how Nanaki should be? Absolutely nonaki, this is not fitting for Nanaki. Nanaki is a special existence. Then I must respond to that expectation.

go nanaki

That is the responsibility of a special existence.

to prove it

“Once more, I will define it.”

to make it clear

Yes, a redefinition. I have shown weakness at a trifling matter. I would like to apologise for my extreme rudeness. Nanaki is an honest person, so I will not avoid it, I will tell you my true thoughts. You weren’t even an opponent, I had thought like that. Leon, I had understood his pride and justice, and still thought he couldn’t reach Nanaki.

not dangerous

“Leon, you are undoubtedly my enemy.”

but he is a threat

Nanaki made light of you. I really am still foolish, I might still need time to reach Mother’s heights. But still, I am not incompetent enough to be devoured by just an imitation. I will apologise with just this sentence, ‘sorry for giving you hope’.

there never was any

Nanaki’s older brother, Leon.

all onii-samas

If you are my older brother, then for the sake of your special younger sister, this Nanaki.

are for the imoutos

“——Die here.”

including their lives~

Siblings, so what? If we were born together, raised together, had love for each other, then he might have been able to become Nanaki’s ally. But there is only one important thing, Leon. Respected and beloved Mother never told Nanaki of your existence. Do you understand what that means?

no need to know

“You(Leon) are not needed.”

“What are you talking about!?”

you dont need to know

Respected and beloved Mother never informed Nanaki of that existence. That means it is unnecessary, that existence is not necessary for Nanaki to survive. It’s obvious, Mother raised Nanaki so that Nanaki could survive alone. She gave me strength and pride.

not a brother

You attacked Nanaki. That is the truth. So, you are Nanaki’s enemy. Be you older brother or family or anyone else, you are undoubtable Nanaki’s enemy. I have said it too many time, and as it is, I have killed as many times. But now, I will say it again.

fundamental

“——kill enemies.”

kill

For Nanaki to live.

or be killed

“Let’s go, Friend.”

to survive

It may be an imitation, but that magic is the real thing. The ones who will crush the proof of the strongest, Exceed Magic, will be none other than this Nanaki and Lightning of Legend Ilveng=Nazgul. The one who succeeds the strongest will not be such an imitation. The one who is fitting to be the successor is Mother’s daughter, this Nanaki.

you must be willing to kill

And so, die onii-sama.

a world of limited resources

“Cutting off someone’s arm……It hurts daaaamn it!!”

“Wh……guoeh!?”

well….anger is a pretty good reason too

I punched that s.h.i.tty face tainted with death. As hard as I could, with all my strength. Use Mother’s magic as much as you like. Does the t.i.tle of strongest feel good? But if the cost of that is the end of your life, then it is out of the question. The sc.u.m who admire that kind of thing are better off dead. Hurry up and disappear from Nanaki’s sight.

losing an arm would make anyone mad

Nanaki declares it, survival is supreme.

not power

“Don’t misunderstand d.a.m.ned b.a.s.t.a.r.d.”

you never

I was enveloped in lightning. In this comfort, I could feel the strong friendship from Friend. Yes, he is always worried about Nanaki. Nanaki is human, Ilveng=Nazgul is a G.o.d. Races that killed each other have joined hands. We are one as human and G.o.d, you may look. This is the final result.

stood a chance

“——There’s no way you could defeat Nanaki at that level.”

“!…………you even abandoned your physical body…….”

“I didn’t abandon it. I just, became lightning.”

return is possible~

‘Almighty lightning knight - Magia Chevalier' is not something with a form, it represents the very bond between Nanaki and Friend. Even the arm that was cut off became lightning and recombined, the very concept of injury is gone. Exceed Magia, Nanaki will sing a requiem for that antiquated magic.

not proof os strongest anymore

“——AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!?”

nanaki is strongest

Only Leon’s scream rang out. No, it was almost like he was grieving.

his own death?

“This is bulls.h.i.t……something like this…….!?”

“What is wrong with that? Who is wrong? I’ll tell you, the weak you is wrong.”

nanaki is always right

All his attacks went through Nanaki. But there was no pain, no injury. His sword and magic just pa.s.sed through my body which had become lightning. Be proud Leon. Even if it is an imitation, that power is certainly comparable to Mother’s weakest. That’s why it could draw out Nanaki and Friend’s power.

a mistake

Without knowing what that is.

imperfect information 

Watching every attack pierce through Nanaki’s body and then vanishing, Leon muttered as if giving up. That’s not acceptable at all, if you are Nanaki’s older brother, you must be more dignified. Try preaching about justice once more with that miserable face. In front of this Nanaki.

he finally gave in?

“How do you even die……”

not by your hands

Ah, that is a very simple question.

never?

“Lifespan”

end

Hecate intended to get this done a few hours ago…but fell asleep .-.
