Prologue
A lot of mysteries still remain shrouded in the Great Devil's Nest. That is where Yuuya's master, the White Rabbit, was confronting a certain monster.
(….)
"Grrrr…"
The one confronting Usagi was a powerful monster called [Lion Emperor], a powerful monster that could only be encountered by going to the Great Devil's Nest's inner parts.
Although it was such a monster, the Lion Emperor could not move in front of the little rabbit. That's because it knows that if it moves even the slightest bit, it will be defeated at that moment.
While the Lion Emperor was desperately trying to figure out how to get out of this situation, Usagi was extremely carefree.
(Fumu… if it's like usual, it will be over instantly, but…)
As Usagi said that, he looked at his right hand. At that moment, a ball of water emerges in Usagi's right hand.
(If it's only with magic, what would happen…)
"Guh! Gggaaaaahhh!"
The moment Usagi's consciousness shifted to his right hand, the Lion Emperor didn't miss the opening and jumped at Usagi. The moment it jumped on Usagi, the place where the Lion Emperor was standing earlier was severely gouged out, and with the speed at which the Lion Emperor moved, the surrounding [Black Hard Tree] was knocked down by the wind pressure alone.
The Lion Emperor was convinced that Usagi had been killed with this full strike.
But…
(Hmph.)
"Gaah!"
Usagi lightly jumped and avoided the Lion Emperor's attack, and then pushed the water ball he generated with his right hand directly against the Lion Emperor's back.
(────Crush it!)
"Gaaaaaaaah!"
What was in Usagi's right hand earlier should have been a small water ball. Still, the moment it was pressed against the Lion Emperor's back, it turned into a mass of several dozen tons of water, literally crushing the Lion Emperor.
Usagi that knocked down the Lion Emperor with that blow tilted his head in frustration as he landed.
(U-umu… Maybe it's because I don't have enough magic power; I guess I can only do that much… If possible, I would have liked to use more powerful magic like Yuuya's, but…)
At the time when Yuuya was involved in the problems of the Alceria Kingdom, this is how Usagi continued to train in the Great Devil's Nest, and as a result, he continued to hone his studies in
(…Invitation, huh…)
Therefore, Usagi's most mysterious thing is that he was attacked and then invited to a very unacceptable purpose, such as the destruction of the world. Moreover, it was towards Usagi, who was supposed to be the world's guardian and was bearing the name "Saint".
(Has the "Archer Saint" gone mad? …No, that's not possible for that woman… but if it's any other "Saint"…"Fist Saint" is a possibility…)
Once the idea is conceived, various possibilities come to mind one after another, but in the end, none of them determine the identity of the girl.
──Still, there was one thing that he was understood.
(I let her escape, but… I can't leave it alone.)
No matter what, that girl has the "Archer Saint" technique and the power of the "Evil" and is about to destroy the world even more. This had to be stopped at all costs. Usagi looked up at the sky and narrowed his eyes.
(…I have to teach Yuuya a little bit about my technique. Even if he's not a "Saint", he can still be able to resist any enemy…)
With the appearance of the girl, Usagi decided to reevaluate his training for Yuuya once again. At the same time, Usagi himself, in order to master the new power of magic, began to wander the Great Devil's Nest in search of a monster to practice magic with again.
