225 – Reverse Thinking-5
“Then, I will organize it into white aria and black aria. Do you understand?”
Aria Baek was a title referring to Ariasviel, who is wearing white next to her.
Black Aria was the name given to Ariasviel wearing black armor inside the holy sword.
No one expressed dissatisfaction and nodded, probably because it was classified as a characteristic part without discomfort.
In the first place, Leonardo persuaded Ariaspil himself, so there was no problem.
“Anyway, the purpose of the black aria in the holy sword is ambiguous. There may be personal feelings for getting rid of you, but it seems that there is a representative reason. It’s just speculation, though.”
In fact, most of this speculation is made up of a heart attack.
Originally, there was no credence in this claim.
It was enough evidence that it was Leo’s words that came here with only one feeling for Ariasviel.
{…But this is the first time I’ve heard that a holy sword has the power to contain a person’s soul.}
Angela was looking at the holy sword with a puzzled expression. She couldn’t help but know that she was a saint herself if her holy sword had such a function.
Above all, the biggest question was that there was no soul of Ruben who used the first holy sword.
“…In the East, it is said that when you reach the extreme level of a sword, to be precise, you reach a level.”
[Are you talking about the new sword union?]
As if being called a wise man is no joke, he was also well versed in his knowledge of the East. Even Leonardo nodded his head in amazement when the wise man knew the jargon.
“Sometimes you feel it, you know. The feeling that the tool or weapon you are using right now becomes one body.”
I know. I have no choice but to know.
Everyone in this room has reached the level of a master in one field, and they are heroes who have worked hard to bring out their outstanding talents.
“On the day of the new sword union, that feeling continues in all situations. The meaning itself is that the body and the sword become one.”
Beyond the literal, now it has become reality as it appears.
Even though there are grounds to believe, everyone couldn’t properly connect to the fact that they couldn’t believe it.
“Nothing too surprising. About half of Chris is a new swordsman.”
“…Yes!? I mean!?”
Chris, who quickly calmed down even though he only wore the ring, pointed at himself again with a surprised expression.
He knew that he was a master of single and double swordsmanship, but he had no realization that he had reached the unification of the two swords.
“To be precise, it’s ambiguous because you, who are so talented, were so immersed in the sword that you drew out a new ability latent in the demonic sword.”
In fact, Leonardo, who lacked fundamental omnipotence, could not properly create an alter ego even if he used the Alter Blade over and over again.
“As much as that, it is safe to say that the Divine Swordsmanship is the realm of the gods. The better the weapon, the more skillful the owner should be.”
Leonardo smiled as he looked at the aria spiel in front of him.
“I guess flattery wasn’t stronger than the first hero.”
It was just funny now that the woman who was called a genius was avoiding her eyes as if she was shy and shy.
“…The other me has reached the realm of unification of holy swords.”
“It’s a poisonous species that grows until it dies. Ariaspil.”
Leonardo, knowing that fact, couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
I never imagined it would be so unlucky until the end.
“…Then what should I do now?”
Now that we have sorted out the information we have learned so far, it is time to set a course.
Leonardo was entirely in charge of his orders. Now I will not make mistakes and mistakes by judging myself.
“What can I do, I can’t even sleep. For now, the first step is to build stability. Information about the Demon King is remarkably lacking.”
Attacking an enemy without knowing it leads to self-destruction, sooner or later. Even if you know it, you won’t be able to use the proper method if you don’t build up the proper internal stability.
“…That… Presumptuous…”
Eileen, who was frustrated, struggled to recover and tried to participate in the conversation. It was just that it was hard for her to open her mouth because she had no shame.
“You gave me permission, so f*ck it up.”
“…Yeah yeah! Thank you!”
As soon as Leonardo gave permission, Aileen opened her mouth to buranake. The mental training had already ended.
“…What if the demon lord attacks in the middle of strengthening internal stability? Or if the hero in the holy sword acts alone…”
Soon Eileen noticed again.
He didn’t do it himself, but it was after everyone’s mind had already set a distance with the evil deeds that were not the evil deeds in the video.
No matter what objections come out, it will be strange…
“As expected, my head is spinning quite a bit on this kind of ruse.”
The one who broke the frozen atmosphere was Leonardo himself, who formed this air.
“As you said, Eileen, it’s a big deal if either of the demon king or the holy sword takes an unexpected action. Make comments like this often. I am not perfect either.”
At the same time, he frees the frozen Eileen and informs him that he is not perfect.
With that, she needed to release the heavy dependence on herself.
Leonardo himself knows deeply that he is not a perfect leader.
[Don’t lie. You prepared a countermeasure.]
Only the sage recognized the truth and pointed it out.
Leonardo asked him to point it out with his own mouth, so he followed suit.
“It’s not perfect, but it has a safety measure.”
Leonardo then thumbed and pointed at himself. It seemed like an arrogant act, but it was a signal from a well-founded self.
“How do you guys think I got to the berserker?”
“…That would be wise man or Ain…”
Sage and Ain, who were definitely boys and girls in appearance, shook their heads. In the first place, they didn’t want to announce the location as planned in the first place.
“The very idea of not fighting in enemy lines as a vessel is correct. Because…”
Leonardo still remembers.
The roar of a berserker echoed in his own mouth.
The feeling of eating the human flesh that the monster ate.
“I am definitely becoming a part of the demon king. As we become a part of it, we are able to locate the berserker.”
“…Yes?”
Everybody asked back, albeit briefly.
Everyone was stunned by the huge confession.
Everyone knows that Leo is the vessel of the Demon King.
But I was convinced that it was an empty form.
I’m sure he will…
“…Then isn’t the Demon King listening to this too…?”
There was a sense of danger that the demon king would also know this information, and on top of that, there was a worry that Leonardo might be being eroded by the demon king.
“Fortunately, according to the words of the wise men, they do not suffer from mental contamination or domination. Didn’t you actually use the chain to hold death row prisoners, which are exclusively used in temples?”
The sage smiled confidently and nodded his head, but the others looked at Leo as if they were deliberately surprised.
Everybody felt goosebumps, wondering if he had deliberately targeted that and ended up on death row.
“Moreover, this is evidence. Grounds that you cannot attack even if you know my location.”
“…That means you suffered a loss too.”
Killing the berserker would, of course, have dealt a blow to the demon king. If I had been able to simply summon a monster like a berserker in the first place, I would have wiped it out long ago.
“It doesn’t matter if my condition gets serious and you know our plans.”
“…Yes? Anyway, that’s…”
Having your strategy undermined is, of course, not good in any combat situation.
Leonardo knows that the leak itself is damaging.
It was only that the blow was insignificant to the point of being insignificant.
“You guys know that I struggled to the death to defeat Ariasviel in Reinhardt in the first playthrough, right?”
“…Ah…”
You didn’t have to turn around to answer, but the expression on your face answered.
Even Ariaspil could not easily answer this.
The extreme inflection point in Leo’s life is because of the stubbornness that came from being defeated endlessly by Ariasviel.
“But do you know why I never won?”
[At that time, you were weak and Ariaspil was strong.]
{Sage…!}
Angela hurriedly stopped at the sage’s direct words.
Leonardo’s mental state must be in tatters right now, and anyone will get hurt if he hears such words.
“I can understand why I chose someone like you as my teacher.”
[Isn’t that just now?]
“Don’t be too arrogant. Old man.”
As only the two could communicate, the others were looking at the two in bewilderment.
Perhaps it was because these two were worthy of the title of wise men.
“If it’s a nimble guy, you can smash his leg, and if he’s good at sniping, you can crush his eyeballs. A strong guy can be shot and killed from a distance. If you’re a kid with high self-esteem, it’s enough to shake it with provocation.”
Leonardo has been that way since he was 10 years old.
If you have a special skill, create a situation where you can’t use that special skill, and focus on digging into the weaknesses that follow.
Strategically, that was the most ideal.
“But that doesn’t work for Arias Feel. Because.”
However, even with such a strategy, there are challenges.
It’s so obvious.
“How can you defeat a guy who has been trained in a standard way and has become ideally strong as a result. That kind of thing is a strategy, it’s nabal, and it doesn’t work.”
I was definitely not wrong.
If you think about it, the reason Leonardo was able to win in the 2nd play was because he had countless experiences, the speed of growth that followed, and because he knew exactly who Ariaspil was.
To put it another way.
“You may not believe it, but I really like Jeong-seok.”
The Demon King was no different from Leonardo in the first playthrough.
“I don’t like fighting standardly, but I love being strong.”
While the current situation may not be favorable, it is not extremely unfavorable either.
“…But even if I try hard enough…”
“It’s okay. If you know the problem, most of it can be solved.”
With confidence, Leonardo stood up.
“And I am very advanced.”
It was a situation that perfectly matched both figuratively and in a direct sense.
No one was as advanced as Leo in the current situation.
“Then I should rest well today and do my work. It will be very busy.”
“…That… Leo… No… Mr. Reynolds.”
Aria Spiel called Leonardo, deliberately paying attention to his title.
It was because Leonardo was explaining the situation while deliberately leaving out a part.
“…What would you do if another me moved the holy sword?”
Ariaspil understands Leonardo.
If Leonardo in the 1st and 2nd episodes fight to kill each other, he himself cannot take either side.
Besides, assuming that neither side has room for persuasion, anyone will be troubled.
If yesterday’s friends and tomorrow’s friends were tied to both tracks on which the train was running, who would be able to answer?
Nevertheless, I had no choice but to ask.
‘…Even if you… Abandon me…’
Because it was an understandable action.
“Probably you in the holy sword won’t move until you are 20 years old.”
Leonardo smiled and pointed his finger at his holy sword.
“As you can see, I deliberately stimulated Black Aria. I was trying to stir up an emotional stir by continuing to touch old memories.”
I also remember Ariasviel in white.
I never imagined he would have calculated such a thing.
“But he never said a word of excuse. Even you guys have made serious mistakes, but if you hear all sorts of double-swearing, you’re going to stare at me.”
It was a shameful fact, but everyone in Reinhardt had no choice but to agree.
It’s a pity, but it was difficult to make a cool judgment when it comes to verbal abuse, even for rational people.
In the first place, even though human beings are good at rationalization, they are far from being rational.
“Perhaps, whether it’s guilt or conscience, I won’t bother you until that day, as long as you know I’m entering the holy sword.”
“…I see.”
Everyone seemed relieved by the persuasive words.
Just.
“But even so, if the holy sword and you go out of control and attempt a self-destruction.”
Leonardo now had to think beyond that, to the unexpected.
From Noble mtl dot com
“I will cut off your arms immediately. Sometimes entire limbs.”
At those words, everyone’s eyes widened. Although he intended to agree to any brutal strategy, what Leo said was no longer in the realm of common sense.
“…That’s… What…”
“I am not asking for understanding. I am not asking for consent.”
Leonardo himself knows this well. What a crazy plan this is.
“But there is no compromise at this point. Perhaps the holy sword itself cannot kill Ariasviel.”
A holy sword is a tool of a hero in the first place. Even if she had personality, it would be difficult to kill Arya herself.
“If Ariasviel commits suicide out of self-loathing as a fairy tale of memories, I have no choice but to use that method.”
Leonardo was notified expressionlessly.
Even though she felt the tearing pain inside, she shouldn’t be shaken as much as herself.
“I will preserve the amputated part by freezing, and attach it with divine power when a hero is needed. With the two of you, the facilities and abilities are sufficient.”
Lumine and Eileen couldn’t answer.
Theoretically, it was possible, but I didn’t think of doing it with common sense.
“…But…”
“I have no intention of justifying it. Even if I personally take care of you, take care of your health, walks, hygiene, meals, and whatever else you want, it’s garbage.”
Even if Ariasviel would forgive it, it was an immorality that Leo himself could not forgive himself.
But I had to do anything to win.
All I had to do was pray that the holy sword would hear this conversation and restrain her purpose on its own.
“I just want you to be prepared. You too, Aria…”
Leonardo, who continued to speak calmly, stopped talking.
Even though I thought I would not be shaken under any circumstances, the current situation was beyond me.
It was only a matter of time.
“…Yeah… I get it… I can’t help it…”
A subtle blush was drawn on Arya Spiel’s cheeks, and I saw with my own two eyes the taste of his lips.
It was fortunate that there was no rejection, but it was very scary.
You should think of it as a relief at the point when the fear subsides.
It was a lovely horror.
