“AAAAAAAAAAH!!! YOU Fu̲CKING ASSHOOOOOOOLE!!”

Shuu was about to swing his arm with all his strength, intending to strike Loukis’… no, Surtr’s face with a punch containing all his rage. Originally, Shuu’s power was one of righteousness, but on top of having his girlfriend killed, with whom he had laughed together just earlier, he had been mocked.

He was the most enraged he had ever been in his life. Thus, he was about to strike. However, his arm stopped.

“Hah… hah… GHAAAAAAAAAAH!”

…Rage. Rage hotter than hell itself was laid bare, and Shuu, who thought his hand had been stopped by something he missed, tried to strike again, only to find his body not heeding his commands.

Sakura, on the other hand, froze in fear as she noticed something different. Shuu, too, saw it, and the shock made him come to his senses just a little. The same black haze that had been emitted from Gungnir, now came from Loukis’ mouth. It then invaded Shuu’s body.

“-the Hell… this is…!”

Even with his resentment of Surtr, Shuu got a clear feeling of “danger” and tried to take some distance, but in the end, he was unable to put up any resistance. Sakura, who saw it from afar and got a bad premonition, left Kanata, who was still rigid, for now and readied her weapon. Then, she engaged the sword’s auto-control and sent it towards Surtr.

“Stay out of MY way!”

The Black God’s voice came from seemingly out of nowhere. Sakura knew for sure that Loukis hadn’t spoken. When the sword was just about to reach the King, Shuu, for some reason, grabbed its hilt and stopped it.

“!?”

Shuu himself was the most shocked one by this. He hadn’t consciously moved his body. Still, even this shock was only reflected in his expression.

“Take it all in, insect. Watch and see!”
“S-Stop it, you damn-”

The speed at which the haze entered Shuu’s body increased. Shuu started to panic, but he still couldn’t put up any resistance.

“Sakura, get clear!”

The moment she heard that voice, a spear was thrown from behind her. It flew at a speed that made it impossible to grab and scored a direct hit on Loukis’ body. The king’s body was blown away by the impact, which had much more force than you’d expect from a mere spear pierce. The spear then stuck itself deep into the wall without opening a hole.

Kanata, who had quickly recovered from his mental freeze, had thrown it and was now glaring at the king’s body, who had been flung away. Said body didn’t react in any way.

Sakura’s bad premonition had been spot-on. The magic power she had felt from the king had now moved to Shuu¹.

“Gah… curses… well, no matter, I don’t need that body any longer.”

Those words had come from Shuu’s mouth. He no longer looked shocked. As for the reason…

“Right, I‘d say that’s a complete possession.”

The black haze had fully entered Shuu’s body. Finally, he stood up.

“Alright. Thanks to that overwhelmingly strong rage, I was able to get in smoothly. Guess I owe my thanks to that Rir girl.”

Shuu… or rather, the being that had taken over his body, cracked his joints.

“…Yo, Kanata, Sakura,” he said, walking towards Kanata and Sakura in the friendliest manner, even though it was Surtr inside.

Practically out of a conditioned reflex, Kanata stood in front of Sakura, hiding her behind his back.

“C’mon, don’t look at me like there’s somethin’ wrong! It’s me, Shuu!”

No one believed those words. Shuu was grinning, with the corners of his mouth pulled up as far as Loukis’ earlier, and his teeth bared. The two kids had never seen their friend make such a horror inducing expression.

“‘Course you don’t believe me… After all, it’s ME, the Black God Surtr, right…? Gah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha²!!!”

Still in Shuu’s appearance, the Black God broke into roaring laughter.

“…Oh, right, you guys can use your skills again, now,” Surtr added, as if he had just remembered it. “You’re not gonna use them? You can finally utilize them again, you know? …More importantly, listen to this. This body is the best I ever had! The greatest part is that almost all his skills are fire-based, it’s perfect! The body is well trained and then there’s this magic sword… This is awesome! …Right?”

After patting down Shuu’s entire body, Surtr shrugged his shoulders, as if to say, “good grief”.

TL notes:
Surtr now has a body practically tailor-made for him, but it’s still two versus one, so Kanata and Sakura might stand a chance. If they manage to attack their friend’s body, that is.

1. It says “Kanata” in the original. Clearly an error.
2. That sounds way longer than a normal person could manage without running out of air. Probably a perk of being an evil god.
