Magical Girl of Chaos: Magical Rampage

Sigh~…

“If you sigh, your luck will fly away~.”

“Stop talking like an old man.”

“Huh?!”

The days of collecting the fragments of the Death Witch.

This task is exhausting every single time.

First, I have to open a dimensional portal and thoroughly search through it, which is no easy feat.

If I keep the portal open for too long, the interference with the outer dimensions becomes severe, causing distortions and increasing the risk of reincarnators or shifters appearing. If I don’t find the fragments quickly, the world could be eroded by the Poison Aura and Plague from the Death Witch’s fragments, leading to complete destruction.

From the perspective of a single dimension, it might seem like a speck of dust, but safe planets with proper civilizations are rare across dimensions, so it’s a significant issue.

“Next… is it this one?”

“The flow of time in this dimension is quite fast~.”

“…Hey, the dimensional portal is shaky.”

“Oh my~ Looks like you’re a bit tired~.”

“Ugh… Let’s take a break after this one. We’ve already collected more than half, and we can do the rest later.”

Tch, if I do that, there’s a chance souls or living beings could get sucked into the distorted dimensional gaps…

Well, let’s just call it an unavoidable accident.

If anyone gets caught in it, I’ll offer my condolences.

It’s not like they’ll get some cheat ability or anything, so it’s basically hard mode, you know?

Though, sometimes the transcendent beings from that side snatch them up for fun, give them something, and send them off to watch the show, but that’s a different story.

“Anyway, I’m off.”

“Take care~.”

Hmm… It’s been a while since I’ve been to a dimension where time accelerates this much.

Oh, I found a planet with life right away.

Let’s see… Ugh, it’s a planet full of grotesque creatures.

And I don’t sense any of the Death Witch’s magic either…

As expected, the first one’s always a bust~.

“…Huh?”

Wait… where’s this signal coming from?

If the wavelength is this erratic, is it rampaging?

If that’s the case, I need to find it quickly.

Otherwise, that world could be destroyed in an instant.

Sigh~… Seriously, these fragments are just as troublesome as the main body… Damn things.

Think about how hard it is for me to find and clean up after them.

“Found it.”

First, this place… Oh, it’s another world full of grotesque creatures.

And the fragment is… where… Ah, there it is.

Oh~ This time I’m lucky?

Two fragments are stuck together.

Though, because of that, 6/7 of the planet is already in terrible shape.

This planet is pretty much done for.

Still, I’ll handle the Poison Aura and Plague first.

Even if it’s already doomed, I should at least do the bare minimum cleanup, right?

“Kihihi…”

“…Stop mimicking the monsters around you and come back.”

“…?”

“Don’t play dumb, you fragment of the Death Witch.”

“…So mean~!”

“Your personalities are all over the place…”

Two fragments collected.

There were three fragments in this dimension, right?

So there’s one left…

I hope I find it quickly this time.

…Judging by the lack of response around, I’ll have to search far and wide.

Roaming through this vast universe, searching every nook and cranny, is really exhausting…

If I could find them quickly, I wouldn’t have to search everywhere, but why are these things always scattered so far apart…

“Fufu, sorry about that.”

“Don’t apologize when you don’t mean it.”

“Ooh~ So cold, my dear.”

“Stop being annoying and get back in.”

By the way, this guy, since about half of the fragments have been collected, his original self seems to have awakened, and he occasionally pops out of the capsule to annoy me.

I’m already going through all this trouble because of him.

Once I collect all the fragments, I’m going to beat him up first before anything else.

Don’t worry, though.

I won’t use 「Chaos」, so he won’t be destroyed.

Unless someone has power on par with mine, I can twist any talent or ability into 「Chaos」, rendering it useless or even turning it into a debuff.

That’s why if I kill the Death Witch with 「Chaos」… it’s over.

…Given the scale of the power, not only would the Death Witch be destroyed, but the surrounding planets would easily be caught in the aftermath, so I’ll never use it.

“…Hm?”

Tch, again.

Seriously… There are always those transcendent beings who unconditionally reject anything from outer dimensions.

Not that they’re anything special—just half-baked transcendent beings—but they’re annoying.

“Invaders shall be punished!!”

“This one’s also ridiculously loud.”

“Kyaaah!!”

I slightly twisted a part of the half-baked transcendent being’s body along with the dimension, and it started writhing in excruciating pain.

I really hate these self-righteous justice freaks.

They judge anything that doesn’t fit their standards as evil and attack without question—how are they any different from fanatics?

There are many flexible beings who help me find the fragments, so why is there always at least one of these guys in every dimension…

I can’t hide my power either, or it’ll take twice as long… Well, it can’t be helped.

I’ll just have to endure the annoyance to get things done quickly.

“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. As long as you don’t interfere with my search for the fragments, I won’t touch you, so please stay still, okay?”

“I won’t listen to an invader’s excuses… Kyaaah!!!”

“Man, you’re so loud. If you keep this up, I might have to kill you to shut you up.”

“Huff, huff…”

But… now that I look at him, he looks like some kind of seafood.

Even beings like this can become transcendent these days…

No, how does someone like this even become a justice freak…?

“You’re still as merciless as ever, aren’t you?”

“Shut up. It’s your fault for staying in a collapsing dimension and scattering across various dimensions, so help with the detection.”

“Sorry about that~.”

“You don’t sound sorry at all, so shut up.”

Ah~ When I get back, I should roll around with Pretty Heart for a while.

It’s good to let loose like this sometimes, right?

But when will that be…

…Alright, even if it affects this dimension, I’ll fly around seriously.

So, leaving the seafood-looking transcendent being behind, I flew through the dimensional gaps at speeds beyond light.

Of course, since it’s not connected to the outer dimensions, no problems occurred.

I’ve checked everything.

“Hmm… Oh? Found it right away. But this is…”

“Oh my~ My sword is rampaging~.”

“What’s so great about that?”

“Well, I can feel the excitement, you know?”

“Ugh.”

Among the fragments, the largest one is this guy’s greatsword, and it’s rampaging…

Wait, does that mean there’s someone strong enough to make it go wild?

Normally, just getting close would kill you from the Poison Aura and Plague…

“……”

First, I’ll enhance my vision to check before approaching.

…Hm? There’s a long-eared guy fighting?

And he’s cutting through it properly… There’s someone surprisingly skilled here.

“To reach this level while trapped in a biological body, I can’t underestimate them.”

“Right. And they seem to know that even a graze would be fatal, prioritizing evasion. And… their fighting style is similar to mine.”

“Happy?”

“Shut up, seriously. And you, get back in.”

“Fufufu…”

Finally, he’s back inside.

Sigh~… Looking at that situation, it seems like he’s planning to take hits on purpose, so once that’s over, I’ll collect and clean up immediately.

First, I’ll get rid of the Poison Aura and Plague zones.

Alright, let’s get to work.

『But, it’s still a 「Fragment」. As promised, I won’t kill it.』

“I wish you’d die instead.”

『Impossible. I’ve transcended death. More importantly… while I was enjoying this entertainment, it seems she has arrived.』

“So, who is this ‘she’ you’re talking about?”

I’ve arrived in the world where the Death Witch’s greatsword is, but the guy fighting it is still growling and facing off against the sword.

And since the sword’s ego mentioned me, it seems curious about me… Well, it’s none of your business.

“…It’s none of your business. This has nothing to do with your world.”

『Hoho… I thought my neck would break from waiting.』

“?!”

Did this guy know I’d come to collect him eventually?

Or maybe, as a fragment of the Death Witch, those thoughts or memories were transmitted.

Anyway, come back quickly.

“Come back. The ‘main body’ is waiting for you too.”

『Fufu… Alright, 「Rampage」. Did I exert too much power? You came faster than I expected.』

“You’re already a nuisance just by existing, causing so much trouble for cleanup, and you dare to wield your power? Are you insane?”

『But an interesting child came to challenge me, how could I turn them away?』

“……”

This guy, his personality is exactly like the main body’s.

More importantly… they came to ‘challenge’ you?

“…Did they really come to challenge you?”

“…No, I just came to investigate the massive Poison Aura and Plague zones…”

“…Is that so?”

『Fufu…』

“Tch… This guy caused a mess. I wanted to collect him before it got to this.”

Tch, they didn’t come to challenge you, they were just investigating, and you attacked them on your own?

Sigh~… The main body and the fragments are both so annoyingly troublesome.

“…That said, you’re following a path quite similar to mine. That’s probably why that damn fragment took an interest in you.”

“…Is that a compliment?”

More importantly, this long-eared guy… looks like an elf.

This guy seems to have honed his skills in a similar direction to mine, and as an apology for causing trouble, maybe I’ll interfere just a little, enough to not cause a big impact.

“It’s absolutely a compliment. More importantly, as an apology for unnecessarily intruding on your story… I’ll give you this.”

“This is…?”

“「Experience」. It seems like you’re lacking in experience but have a strong desire for swordsmanship, so here’s a bit of it. Though, it’s only a fraction.”

“I thought you’d give me something grand…”

“I can’t do that. Even if this world were to be destroyed, as long as it’s not due to an outer-dimensional invasion, I can’t interfere. That would make me no better than an invader. So, this is just a small compensation.”

“I see… No, this is still a huge reward for me.”

“Good, then it’s settled. Sorry for dragging you into this mess.”

Now that the apology and compensation are done, I’ll clean up the remaining Poison Aura and Plague zones… and collect this guy!

This guy is about 30%, so I’m roughly 90% done now?

Once I search the next dimension, that should be it~…

Finally, the end is in sight.

Alright, let’s open a dimensional portal and head back.

Melphis is tired, so I’ll open it myself.

Let’s see… Hmm, this time it’s stable and properly opened.

“Mmm~! This feeling of being filled up, it’s so sweet and thrilling~!”

“……”

This damn woman, every time I collect a fragment, she pulls this crap.

A rotten corpse-like being twisting her body with dead eyes, feeling pleasure—just looking at it makes me sick.

So please, just stay inside the capsule.

“…By the way, why did you give that kid special treatment?”

“Reason? …Well, it’s nothing much. That kid had two souls.”

“Ah~ Well, that’s the kind of thing that would interest you. But… there’s no evidence that they were reincarnated from a star in the same direction, right?”

“It takes at least 10 years for a soul to fully merge with an existing one. It’s probably one of the ones that got swept in when Melphis opened an unstable portal. Dimensional accidents don’t happen often, after all.”

Sigh~… I don’t know how many got swept in, but I still want to subtly boost the potential of the ones I find.

It’s my fault the accident happened, after all.

…Alright, the collection’s done, so let’s head back.
