Even if I transform, I will never be captured.

A moment ago, the wind blades that were originally hovering around the Archmage...

In an instant, he severed Satella's arm.

It was as if Satella's right arm had been cleanly severed at the shoulder, almost like cutting butter with a heated knife.

Looking at her right hand hovering in the air, Satella's expression was indescribable.

(It doesn't seem to hurt as much as I imagined.)

(Great... I don't have to do it myself.)

A sudden change occurred.

The blood gushing from the severed surface of Satella's right hand, like a fountain, underwent an abnormal change. The blood flow began to expand, and an incredible object gradually took shape.

What emerged from the severed section of Satella's right arm was not a human arm.

It is a head.

Moreover, it was over two meters in size, ferocious and savage, a giant and powerful dragon king's head that only appeared in ancient legends.

"Ow—!"

A dragon emerged from Satella's right arm!

Then there are two.

Sanjo

……

Seventeen Eastern dragons shot out from Satella's severed right arm, hovering above her head. They opened their jaws, which had a long row of saw-like teeth, towards Roswaal, unleashing their malice and letting out a huge roar.

"Awoooooo————————!"

Seventeen dragons face the world, asserting their presence.

This moment.

Those who dwell atop the tower, gazing upon the stars, have turned their eyes away from the stars and look towards distant lands.

This moment.

Reinhard, who was hunting down the Bowel Hunter in the capital, gripped his trembling sword tightly, an incredulous expression on his face—Dragon Sword, are you afraid?

This moment.

Roswaal was stiff all over, fear had completely consumed him, as if all his strength had been drained away, and it was extremely difficult to move even a finger.

"Yes, as long as you cut off my right hand, it will all be over."

Satella bared her fangs, and the vibrant blood gave her beautiful red eyes a deep and dangerous glint.

"Die."

As she announced this, seventeen dragons devoured Roswaal.

Author's Note:

P.S. Emmmmm... This chapter is over three thousand words long. I was originally thinking of ending it as a separate chapter, but I thought that would be too unethical, so I released it all at once. So, considering how straightforward Honglian is, please reward me with some votes or blades, QAQ.

Chapter 7 Touma Kamijou's Wish

Satella, who killed Roswaal, chose euthanasia to save Emilia and Subaru Natsuki, and died a few minutes later.

The cover-up.

A massive black curtain.

A disgusting cover-up.

It attacked from an unknown corner behind her, and by the time it completely devoured Satella, the surrounding environment turned into darkness, and even the sunlight that shone through the cracks in the roof disappeared.

Everything was changing strangely; scenes and sounds began to flow backward around me at several times the playback speed.

The sound was too noisy, like countless flies buzzing around my ears.

When the darkness faded, the morning sunlight reappeared before my eyes.

Satella stood still and blinked. Having been mentally prepared for the change in environment, she was not flustered. Scanning her surroundings, she quickly realized that this was the alley where she had just arrived in this world.

So……

Satella looked up and ahead. Perhaps because she had been standing there for so long, the other four people also noticed her, their eyes filled with undisguised amazement.

The girl had straight, smooth silver hair that flowed around her slender waist. Such long hair always gave people a gentle and refreshing feeling. However, there was a faint indifference on her delicate face, and her thin, long eyebrows were slightly furrowed for some reason, exuding a faint aura of danger.

She stood there like a cluster of crystals, clear and transparent, yet with sharp edges, stunning from afar, yet inspiring awe and reverence.

Natsuki Subaru had never seen such a perfect girl. Her skin and features were breathtakingly beautiful. Even heavily photoshopped or CG images couldn't compare to even a fraction of her beauty.

Could it be... could it be that she's the beautiful girl who summoned me?!

Natsuki Subaru felt his heart pounding, anticipating the beautiful girl saying something like "I am your master."

That's right, if it were this girl, Subaru Natsuki wouldn't mind being her servant or a summoned beast!

And so, with such anticipation in his mind... Satella turned and left.

"Hey!"

With his illusions shattered, Natsuki Subaru was left bewildered.

Even if it wasn't the beautiful girl who summoned me, shouldn't the beautiful girl who happened to pass by at such a critical moment and witnessed such a heinous scene have a chivalrous heart and save my life from being extinguished, according to custom?

Why isn't this going according to the script?!

"I already called the guards for you." Fortunately, before leaving completely, the girl left a message: "With my noble status, I believe those guards would not dare to neglect me, would they?"

Subaru Natsuki and the three thugs looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Um...look...because of the arrival of the beautiful girl, even the air has become much fresher, so...how about we just leave it at that?"

Natsuki Subaru clasped his hands together, his face showing a fawning expression. Although the girl had called for guards, he was currently skeptical of the deterrent power of the guards from the other world.

"forget it."

The hoodlum looked utterly bored. He rubbed his chubby face and decided to go back and lose weight—the goddess's indifference had dealt a fatal blow to his young heart.

"Tch, consider yourself lucky."

The thug kicked Subaru Natsuki away, after all, he didn't want to confront the guards head-on.

"But we can't go back empty-handed."

When thug C left, he took Natsuki Subaru's instant noodles and potato chips.

Although this was one of the few items he brought with him after his transmigration, Natsuki Subaru did not feel that he had suffered a great loss.

hum!

Page 15

It's just junk food like instant noodles and potato chips. If I had to rely on junk food to survive in another world, I might as well commit suicide to atone for my sins!

Cheer up, Subaru! Everyone who transmigrates to another world is born with a protagonist's halo. The reason you're in a slump right now is simply because you haven't found the right way to use it!

Sooner or later, you will definitely reach the pinnacle of your life and marry a beautiful girl like the one just now!

As expected of a chuunibyou otaku, Natsuki Subaru instantly cheered up and set his first life goal in this other world.

……

Satella left the alley at a leisurely pace, her eyes somewhat vacant, still immersed in the battle she had just fought.

The first battle in life is like the aftertaste of a perfume, leaving a lingering and unforgettable impression.

The overwhelming magic, her severed arm, and the final scene of seventeen dragons devouring Roswaal—she would probably never forget them for the rest of her life.

On the contrary, she didn't feel much about killing someone for the first time.

After all, Roswaal was devoured by seventeen dragons, leaving not a trace behind, and died completely, which made Satella feel less of the realism of killing him.

but……

"It's completely pointless!"

Satella rubbed her face in frustration, just like many people who make wrong decisions due to impulsiveness, feeling extremely regretful.

In the heat of the moment, she borrowed Touma Kamijou's ability from the system, resulting in Roswaal being killed by her. However, with the activation of the [Return by Death] ability, time rewound to when she first arrived in the other world, so Roswaal must have already been resurrected.

In other words, I did all my work in vain and ended up owing someone a wish for nothing.

We're losing so much money!

But even if she had to do it all over again, Satella would probably still make the same choice, right? After all, life would be too boring if you only had to choose your path based on right and wrong.

The only saving grace is that this wish was relatively simple.

As Satella called out in her mind, a semi-transparent interface that only she could see appeared before her eyes.

This is the interface of the lending system. The interface is very simple, with three tabs. The leftmost tab reads "Ability Borrowing", the middle tab reads "Ability User Hiring", and the rightmost tab reads "Ongoing Tasks".

Then, below the "Ability Borrowing" and "Ability User Hiring" tabs, you'll find a list of available abilities and hiring targets.

This list changes constantly, which is understandable, since everyone's wishes are different at different times.

For example, when Natsuki Subaru first arrived in another world, his wish was definitely to make a name for himself there; after being beaten up by thugs, his wish became to be saved; and after meeting Emilia, his wish would definitely change to wanting to win her over.

So Satella thought that if she kept an eye on the list and kept refreshing it, she might be able to snag a bargain.

For example, the [Imagine Breaker] ability she used before.

Borrowed from: Touma Kamijou.

Wish: I hope to receive 10,000 yen in relief.

Duration: Seven days.

Well... it's unbelievable that someone would have such a tragic wish. Let's take a moment to mourn for poor Kamijou for three seconds.

Amen.
