175 – Final Task (4)
Saint.
As the word suggests, a holy woman, an agent of God.
A being believed to be the embodiment of a divine miracle.
Although there is only one person in the empire,
As an ascetic who will fight against the evil of pandemonium, the karma he must carry will be heavier than that of ordinary humans.
.
.
.
“Master Psyche…?”
“Aria. “If it were you, I think I could trust you.”
-Shaaa.
As I saw that day in the sanctuary of Divine Grand Park,
Sacred orbs began to float around Psyche, brightening Pandemonium.
She was finally able to realize and feel.
My relationship with Kroon, my relationship with Lev Denek…
It was all natural to entrust his power to this child.
‘Aria. ‘Your qualities as a saint are much higher than mine.’
Psyche looked at Aria with somewhat serious eyes…
-Shaaa.
She soon began to hand over all of her divine power through her grasping hands.
“… !”
At the same time, Aria’s eyes widened.
“She may be a heavy burden, but from what I have seen, Arya, she will definitely be able to purify Cadet Lev.”
“I will purify…” ?”
“Yes. It might be dangerous… “
Of course, it will be incomparably more difficult than the act of lowering the level of rev encroachment that was done before.
-Joo Woong… !
He is currently the Demon Lord, and has become a crystallization of despair that condenses the evil of the world.
-Aria has a nice scent.
-Be quiet and stay still.
However, it was also something that only she could do.
It has changed like that… Because Arya is the only one who can understand and embrace Lev Denek.
As she remembered the face of her favorite Lev, Arya’s heart became even stronger.
“She doesn’t know whether to extend her saving hand to him or not…” “It’s Aria’s choice.”
“My choice is… “It’s about saving Mr. Lev.”
“I see… sorry. Aria. “I can’t help you any more than this.”
-Shaaa!!
As the divine power engulfed in Psyche’s body turned towards Aria,
Soon, an energy more sublime than anything else began to gather in her body.
-Shaaa!
The great gates of Valhalla and the Celestial Sanctuary appeared in her sight,
I can hear the trumpets of angels.
Barren land. In the underworld pandemonium
A new saint who succeeded Psyche has descended.
.
.
.
– Stumbled.
“Master Psyche!”
At the same time, Psyche sank down in her seat.
Having lost all of her divine powers, she was nothing more than a delicate human woman.
The power of a saint is noble and revered, but it also means borrowing the power of a god for a short time.
It was the providence of humans who were born with bare hands and returned with bare hands.
“I’m fine. Aria. Hurry… Go see him… Achieve what you want.”
“Thank you, Psyche. I must… !”
While Aria, encouraged by Psyche’s words, was about to go to Lev, Edwin approached her.
“Arya, entrust all your divine power to me… ! Because it was Lev’s request! I have to finish it with my own hands… “
When he asked me to enchant his holy sword with divine power,
“No. It’s okay.”
Aria flatly refused.
“…Aria?”
“Edwin, please get out of here with the others.”
“Uh, why…?” ?”
“There is no time. Please.”
“But, Aria, you… !”
Just as Edwin was trying to weigh the danger of the situation,
-Roaring!!!
The shaking of the Demon Castle began to become more severe than before.
– Fighting. Toad-duk-duk.
Dust and debris began to fall from the ceiling.
It was a sign that the heart of Pandemonium was about to collapse, as planned by Lev, who became the Demon King.
-Zoouuung!
At the same time, Lev’s new form of the jet-black shadow, which had absorbed all the black magic power, began to run wild.
A larger encroaching energy than before began to eat away at the area.
“I will talk to Mr. Lev.”
At those words, Yeriel and Edwin’s expressions become serious, as if they were shocked.
However, on the contrary, Aria is gentle and peaceful… She muttered.
“Don’t worry. “I will definitely go back with Mr. Lev.”
Reassuring everyone…
It was a voice like a messenger of peace.
* * *
Due to Arya’s strong stance, Edwin went outside with Psyche and Yeriel.
– Gugugugung!!
The roar became louder than before.
The Demon King’s Castle began to collapse at a faster rate.
But did a miracle really happen?
-……
Nothing harmful touched Arya as she approached Lev.
Like a noble being wrapped in a protective shield, she, who had become a crystal of light, only lightly approached Lev.
“… Now you… “What are you trying to do?”
“… “
Yellow D, who noticed this change in her aria, kept her in check like a cat setting her teeth.
“Don’t come closer!”
“… “
Yellodi has been waiting for this moment when Lev will defeat the Demon King.
Although the method is radical, thanks to it, the conditions for succeeding to the Demon King are met.
Soon, he will run away… A new demon king himself would be born.
“It’s mine! “It’s mine!”
-Chuung!
-Jewung!!
Yellow D, instinctively feeling threatened, fired her black magic at Aria.
Straight reddish rays…
-Kan! Kang!
As expected, no harm could be done to Aria, who had become a complete saint.
Finally, her mouth opened.
“Get out of the way.”
“… !”
Seeing Aria only giving her cold gaze, Yellow D had no choice but to grit her teeth and take a step back.
-Shaaa!
The sacred power of the pale yellow light that surrounded that woman was so terrible that it was dazzling to look at.
It would probably be quite painful if exposed even a little to that energy.
“Get away from my junior!!!!”
Step by step, Aria approaches Lev,
“I’m telling you to fall!!”
It was time for Yellow D to move away one step at a time.
“Mr. Lev, it’s okay.”
“… “
With a word from Aria,
– Kugwagwang!!!!
-!!
-Hwiooooo!!!
Everything in the Demon Castle collapsed, and the three began to fall into a deep abyss.
.
.
.
-…
-…
-…
I have no memory.
Fall.
It’s warm.
It is dark.
Brief sentences are printed randomly in my head.
It’s familiar.
It becomes cozy.
-Aria.
-Don’t say it.
-Huh?
-… Please just stay where you are.
It is fragrant.
And, a fresh scent like the scent of freshly picked flowers tickles my nose.
“!”
When I came to my senses, Aria Bluebell, the main heroine of , Was hugging me.
“Aria…?”
Her body was divine power itself.
The divine energy that radiates ceaselessly suppresses my black magic power.
This was quite a painful experience, but
I could never show off.
Aria is much better than me… Because it will be painful.
-Shoo!
Time seems to have slowed down, falling slowly as we unite our bodies.
The black curtain that was blocking my vision cleared and I began to see clearly in front of me.
“… !!!!!”
“You’re awake… “
Aria had blood in her mouth.
The black magic power freely released from my body… This was because it had become sharp thorns and pierced various parts of her body.
When I was unable to say anything in this terrible scene…
Her mouth opened once more with difficulty.
“With this, we can help each other once…” “So you got stabbed?”
Judging from the faint laughter mixed in, it was clear that this was a joke.
“Ah, Aria… ? Why… “
“Mr. Lev, this kind of prank… good… “You did.”
“Stop. Don’t say any more… “
The current situation was intuitive.
Aria sacrifices her own body, and everything about her…
This is to purify myself.
-Jewuuung!
To resolve this situation, I first reduced the horse pressure.
Because my reason returned, I was able to control it to some extent.
-Sreuk, sreuk.
But even though the thorns that pierced her are losing their shape one by one…
“Why on earth are you…?” “
It was as if there was no strength left in Arya’s body, and she just went limp, letting out a little of her clean blood.
“Barely, just barely…” For… !”
“I am your watcher… So, I promised that I would always be by your side.”
Aria’s hands, which were smiling weakly, were so cold.
“… “
I held that hand in my heart.
The last spark of her trembling life… It is conveyed mournfully through the sound of my heartbeat.
What is certain is that if all of her divine power is used up like this, she will die.
That simple fact… It stops my thinking.
“That’s it… I enjoyed… Except when I was young, I don’t have any happy memories… There wasn’t… “
“… Stop.”
“After meeting Mr. Lev… Every day… Because I’m happy… “
“Stop it, I was wrong.”
I hugged her tightly.
She is like that, but she is such a thin woman that it seems as if she will break.
I finally remembered.
I made Arya kill me…
It was ugly.
Watching someone you love die is the worst…
Forcing this kind of mindset, I would be the worst character in the history of .
“Aria…?”
“… “
Aria’s eyes wander in the air.
Her eyes were cloudier than before.
“My words… I can hear… ?”
I regret it.
In exchange for destroying Pandemonium, we ended up losing Aria.
The weighing I did was the worst.
“Yeriel too… Edwin too… Selena too… Lily too… “Everyone was grateful.”

“… Aria. Look at me… I can’t see… ?”
Aria’s senses had already disappeared.
“But I… You know. Just Mr. Lev… I know I called her differently… ?”
“…… “
“Mr. Lev is a special person to me… “
“… “
“I’m embarrassed, but I’m really glad I like you… you… “
Her words ended there.
The blood… Because so much blood flowed out and disturbed her.
“… “
So, think about it.
A way to save Aria even if it means giving something of myself…
“… !”
I held her hand tightly and asked her one last request.
“Aria, if you trust me… “Please do me my last favor.”
“… “
“Please.”
I just desperately hoped that my heart would reach her.
