614 A Lack In Despair
614 A Lack In Despair
- It sounded tall.
But that's synonymous with words that mean despair.
A blade that stands still as if it had been stitched up in a hollow, but only a short distance away, indicates a difference to despair.
Or maybe if what fired that blow was someone else, the story was different again.
But the word of the man is the king of the sword.
In the strongest corner of the world, the blow of what stood at the top of the swordsman was prevented.
Besides, they don't even use their hands.
Just sitting there stopped the King of Swords from slaughtering.
I'd rather talk about not remembering despair there than impossibility.
Though, that's it, this is this.
Despair cannot be a reason to give up.
- Klaus!
As if to prove it, Klaus' movements did not precipitate.
Responding to the voice, the quick jump off the spot and the total of five flamebullets poking at Klaus's place until just now are almost simultaneous.
With the roar, explode.
To burn down the things that were there, the explosion flames whirled - but shortly afterwards, something pitch-black popped out of the flames.
"- Shit."
Who was it that leaked the tongue?
But before I can be sure of it, a shadow leaps forward.
He had a huge shield beyond his height, and he couldn't have misseen it. It belonged to his father.
Thus, at the end of Sylvia's gaze, Alexis' erected shield collides with it.
The dull sound sounds three times.
That is, it is equal to the number of arrows that have flown in, and there is no damage to this one.
But it was easy to see from behind that my father, who was supposed to have prevented it perfectly, was not intact.
Because I found the face slightly distorted.
Was it such a tremendous shock by then, or did something else penetrate it?
Although I do not know that, I am still only certain that I did not take a step back from the spot.
With pride in that, Sylvia spins the Spirit of the Word.
"- Overflow, healing light"
- All-powerful talented intermediate (magic guide intermediate/false): magic and healing lights.
Moments, light overflowing with surroundings, including my father, envelops me and heals its wounds.
I don't know how effective it is against the present, but it would be better than not.
But I didn't have time to exhale there.
Because something has popped up again from the flames that are still burning.
And that wasn't the same thing as earlier.
There is one number.
It's a little bigger than that, but more than anything else, it's the color.
Earlier could be called sufficiently pitch black, but this time it is even darker black.
The moment I saw it, I could see my father shaking his back slightly.
I did not question that because there were others who had reacted similarly.
"... eh"
It was Sophia who was preparing for the next magic, Klaus who had pulled it off and, above all, Sylvia herself.
What happened just a short while ago passes the back of your brain, but what flew in is approaching right there.
It also seems to be coming across my back wondering how my father would handle it.
"Huh... Huh...!
In the end, I think I decided to play it.
Bounced overhead, it thrust straight into the ceiling, with a slight roar.
The ceiling was safe, even as I accidentally turned my gaze towards you.
"Hmm... what's up? I'm not gonna hurt the castle, so let me take it all, or was I supposed to be in fancy?
But he strengthens himself with his voice, which he heard without time to relieve.
One man stood where the flames had vanished, ahead of his hasty gaze.
It was a presence that jumped into this castle earlier - the Demon King.
There's something ridiculous in that eye... but I don't know if I can help it.
Regrettably, it is certainly a derisive situation.
That is obvious from the looks of it.
The Demon King doesn't have one scratch on him, and this one against him is full of creativity.
Everyone's body is scratched and also showing colorful fatigue so much that the magic of Sylvia earlier is not even enough.
Regardless of Klaus, who comes forward and cuts off, or Alexis, who prevents attacks with a shield, it is obvious that there is a considerable difference in strength at a time when even Sophia, who has magical cover in the rear, is doing so.
Although Sylvia is still the only one who is better...... that is nothing more than simply because she is sheltered from the three of us.
Nevertheless, Sylvia would have lay low on the ground early if she hadn't been sheltered.
Sylvia doesn't feel responsible for that fact.
Because I know that you are not sheltered because you are royal or because you are a child.
There is not one of those who stands on this occasion to have such sweet thoughts.
Sylvia is being sheltered because she needs it as a force of war.
It's obviously not enough for Klaus to attack with the avant-garde, Alexis to defend with the avant-garde, and Sophia to take charge of the attack with the rear guard.
Compared to the three of us, Sylvia and others have not yet, but it still takes such Sylvia's support to work with the Demon King.
As for whether or not to fight the Demon King, it is another story.
"... I'll say it often. Obviously, that was an attack that mimicked earlier."
"Sure. But to put it the other way around, it was only the figure that imitated it. It would have been possible to break through if we had dealt with it calmly… I think we've had enough of that earlier."
That said, the Demon King slowly turns his gaze to the rear of this one.
It was obviously full of gaps, but no one would move on to the attack.
I don't think I'm being insulted for doing that, and above all, I guess the Demon King sees it in the Great Hole... created by the Demon King earlier. Plus, bite my lips off.
A castle is a symbol of the country.
Being able to hurt it is synonymous with being able to hurt the country.
It should be acceptable.
But that's what I made you say, and I can't change the fact that it happened.
Alexis, my father, the king of this country has allowed the demon king to harm his country.
Sylvia herself thinks that that was something she had no choice about.
Earlier attacks were so heterogeneous.
It is also natural for Alexis to be involved in the attack, but if he did not avoid it, he would have had his father's body.
But that's it, this is it.
Even if he had no choice, he cannot forgive himself for allowing it.
"Hmm... just the glance is good, but that's all. Immediately after the array was created, the reaction was medium, but the attack is fragile itself, and even you will be attacked to that extent, so best of all. If you were me in the beginning, you would have beaten me with that shield as it was... well, should I say that I could just do it this far?
With seemingly heart-boring words, the sound of stepping on the floor sounded, and Sylvia shook her back reflexively.
There is fear in that heart, and if I can, I want to get out of this place now.
... No, I'm sure that's what I thought from that moment I confronted this demon king.
But there is no escape because I know that there are things that I can do.
Above all, no one in this room gives up, so you can't give up yourself.
"Well... I'm saying it like it's over, but aren't you feeling fast yet? We haven't been hit alone yet, have we?
"... you're right. We haven't even given up as one. You should at least give up and tease one of them."
"Well, it looks as great as ever for nothing... funny for that matter, huh?
"Huh, give me a slack. It's not like you're not realizing I'm not seriously fighting. Well, I wouldn't admit it just because it's strong."
Sure, that's an obvious strength.
Even if we can attack and prevent it, the Demon King has never even received an attack before.
If one of us falls, it will be over at that point.
And then, I'm sure it's not far anymore.
But even if I knew it, I still wouldn't give up as one.
I'm not waiting for something miraculous to happen, to attract miracles, I won't give up.
Maybe it's impossible.
Maybe it can't happen.
- Still.
"Well... I could go along with your abatement, but I've improved my corner prospects. I can't keep you waiting any longer, and I think it's time to start."
"... to make you wait, start? I don't know what you're gonna do but... you think I'm gonna let you do it?
Even as he raised his suspicious voice, Alexis stood to see what was going on and moved his feet jizzily.
If you try to be weird, you're going to prevent it with that shield.
Klaus and the others move on their own again, and Sylvia becomes it.
Turn your gaze to the Demon King without alarm... but the Demon King never moves one eyebrow.
As I turned my gaze only slightly, I rang my nose.
"Don't guide me. Your turn is well thought out. No, I'd rather say you're the star."
"... you think he's the star? What the hell are you thinking...?
"No matter what you think in the first place, it doesn't matter what you're up to. Something we'll never stop and we won't let it go the way we think."
"Yeah, you're right."
Whatever the Demon King says, the three return it with perseverance.
I learn to admire it there, and I want it to be, too, at least I just point my gaze straight.
But the demon king snorted again, as if to mock his attitude.
"Huh, plan? What are you talking about? What is my purpose, would I have spoken?
"Your purpose...? I'm sure that meant giving everyone fear and despair..."
That's what I said when I showed up here.
That's why I came here, say so.
But what the hell does that have to do with this situation?
Sylvia was so surprised, but Alexis didn't, apparently.
Shortly afterwards, he raised his voice like he was convinced.
"Oh, I see, is that what you mean? Fear, despair, and us. I mean, you came here to show us how we lose like no other."
"Hmm...... I see. Sure, it's a demonic way to do it."
"Would it? More praise, and an honor. It's not just killing me, it's giving me a lot of trouble."
"Weirdly gracious, could you not imitate it? It's all for you, it's for you."
It seemed visible that there was a slight feeling of tension between each other, even though they exchanged things like light mouths.
Turn your gaze toward the big hole for a short time as you accidentally squeal your throat.
From there, I did get a glimpse of the city.
I don't know how far you can see from the city, or at least it won't mean you can see clearly.
But to put it the other way around, it's not strange to see it to some extent.
So much thought that Silvia finally understood the meaning of the words Alexis had spoken.
It is true that if the worst comes to Alexis and the others in this situation, the turmoil in the city must peak.
And maybe even the fact that I don't see this one clearly from the city was calculated.
People are more invisible than imagination is stirred up and over-decorated than actual.
You won't be able to say enough that you won't feel deeper despair as a result.
But that, on the contrary, might also make you imagine something other than despair.
As it is, Sylvia and the others lose.
It's a different dimension than not giving up or going to attract miracles, and that's something I know.
If you're turning away from it, you won't give up or nothing.
But on top of that, I think.
I couldn't do a miracle in the end, and it just ended up killing me unharmed... but still, I'm sure there are some things I can leave behind and some things I can tell you.
Because I thought so, because I thought so, Sylvia was filled with signs of death and could still look straight ahead.
Though not visible from Sylvia, that must be the same for Alexis and the others.
It is obvious when you look at its back… the demon king who was turned on them snarls his nose three times in a grumpy manner.
"As always, only eyes are good and prestigious. If you break it honestly, you don't have to suffer. No... or maybe there's something you guys can still do, but don't get me wrong?
At the same time as the words, the sense of intimidation overflowing from its body increased.
So much so that he feels heavy pressure. Besides, his throat is thirsty for karakara...... but Sylvia turns her unchanged gaze as she holds onto her body that is about to tremble.
As you will... Sylvia can only do that...
"... okay. I was going to have a lot of hobbies, but I changed my mind."
Moment after moment, the Demon King raised his right arm and overflowed its eyes with intense signs of death.
It's like darkness and death have been compressed, something that just seems to be the case.
Alexis and the others, who saw it, found it breathtaking.
At the same time, I feel a sign that I am ready, and Alexis turns his gaze here only for a moment.
Where that means, I knew right away.
Even Sylvia wants to, if she can.
The demon king made it appear. From then on, I feel more signs of death than what happened when I destroyed that wall, and I just don't think there's anything I can do about it.
I'm sure the only right thing to do is get out of this place right now, and there's no other way to survive.
Where the three of us bet ourselves, who did what, it's the same.
Nobody can do anything about it before I do.
... except perhaps just one.
But he's not here.
So I knew there was nothing I could do about it... and still.
If that was all I could do, I stared at it without running away.
"... Shit. You really don't care until the end. If anyone can get away with it, give me something with which my drinks have dropped.... Well, good. I'll give you permission. - If you want to die so badly, die."
And with the Proclamation of Death, his right arm waved down -
"- Say no."
Moment after moment, a single light slashed and tore apart the darkness that flew in.
The darkness that I didn't think I could do anything about disappeared so lightly... I didn't have to ask who, etc. appeared new on the spot.
Because I didn't have to ask.
"... soma you"
The person who could not have appeared on this occasion, when he heard the whispering whisper of Sylvia, stared at this one and let him shrug his shoulders.
