30 – Another Full Moon
“….”
Leon thought about where he had been sitting for nearly 100 years.
I felt like I was going crazy, but I thought I was going crazy even more when I went outside.
‘Hey… I don’t think I’ve ever been so out of breath.’
A point where you could go out of the tower as the restrictions weakened.
And the hope that if you do well, you can really get out of this hell.
As these things come together, the wait, which had been only an instant before, became too long.
She can’t wait for Enlil to come, so she’s getting nervous whenever she comes.
She tried to put up with it, thinking that she shouldn’t give her a suspicious feeling because she did her weird thing, but she couldn’t help this wait that made her go crazy and jump.
‘Please come quickly. I learned how to practice mana well, so why is it so late?’
Even while sitting on the black throne with a lot of weight on it like the final boss.
Leone kept moving her hand on her armrest.
How long did she wait like that? Leon sensed something strange about her.
“… What.”
It’s late. Too late too late Right before, when it was her ninth challenge, it wasn’t too late.
No. Let alone that, it has never been this late, even if I recall the records of Enlil up until now.
Should have arrived earlier. That door should have opened and Enlil should have entered.
I have to say that the owner of the tower will come to an end today rather than being arrogant.
But no matter how long I waited, it didn’t happen that Enlil opened the door and entered.
‘f*ck. What the hell is going on Maybe, maybe not? Please.’
Because I’ve never been like that before, because I’ve met nine times.
A part that Leone had almost excluded from the possibility without even realizing it.
Before she even reached the top floor, Enlil lost her life by another demon beast.
Actually, it is a part that cannot be overlooked. Because all the warriors so far died like that.
Without knowing the difference between the outside and the inside of the tower, I was swept away by too strong monsters.
He was probably left as a corpse in a corner of the tower, unable to even scream and questioning.
This time, the hero turned out to be none other than Enlil.
When he thought of that, Leon immediately jumped out of his seat and stood up.
After struggling to regain his composure, he began to scan the tower.
‘Why can’t I feel it? Why. Why. She wondered why she couldn’t feel the woman’s energy, which she had clearly felt just a while ago. Is she really dead? Really? You, who had been doing well until now, died?’
I don’t think so. Yes, probably not It can’t be.
She is the woman who was told by the owner of the tower that she must die even if she dies.
He’s not a great man to be defeated by mere demonic beasts. Never.
If that’s the case, I wouldn’t have put my hope on it, and I wouldn’t have let it go so many times.
I searched everywhere in the tower, but Enlil’s energy was still vague.
She was nowhere to be felt, either rising into the sky or sinking to the ground.
Are you really dead? I was holding onto her energy just before….
Koo Goo!―
At this time, the entrance to the throne hall opens, and a human figure appears through the gap.
Surprised, Leon hurriedly returned to his seat, his eyes full of anticipation.
Yes. I must have missed it. What must have been a mistake
Why did Enlil die? You did everything you could to hide and appear!
I asked her what she had done to hide her energy and come to the top floor.
“Ah.”
The moment he saw the warrior who entered through the door, Leone let out a sigh involuntarily.
I realized at the same time. Why hadn’t I read the warrior’s energy properly until now?
Outside the tower, the academy couldn’t confirm it properly.
I couldn’t do that. I didn’t have to use that power, so how could I do that?
However, in the tower, the power, the divine power, had to be raised to the maximum.
‘And as a result, I arrived here without even knowing.’
The one who entered the throne room was Enlil, not Saint Ceria.
The two swords in her hands and the still thin clothes were clear evidence.
And a translucent golden aura stayed around her body.
I heard that Seria entered the tower later than Enlil.
In other words, it is correct that Enlil reached the top floor before Seria did.
For some reason, Enlil did not arrive and Seria came instead.
‘… Is it ruined?’
Her head and heart, swollen with her anticipation, cool down.
Her vacant seat fills her with anger of unfathomable size.
Has everything I’ve done so far been in vain?
Are you careless? Why the hell didn’t she come here?
Why? Why? Where did you end up dying, Enlil?
“You are the owner of the tower.”
Meanwhile, Seria looked at the person sitting on her throne nervously.
I can feel it. She has such a huge energy that she doesn’t even dare to resist.
Just by facing her like this, her whole body seems to be torn to shreds.
I just wanted to turn around and run away if possible.
“Whoa….”
I catch her breath and forcibly put her trembling body to sleep.
She can’t escape. You must not run away. How did you get here
No, it’s not how you came here that matters, but the ‘why’ you came here.
As a warrior. To bring down the tower and bring quiet peace to the world.
There should be no more people who lose their family and friends to demons.
I want to sever the fate of those who fight from my own line.
100 Years. It was too long. No more. Enough tragedy.
‘… Let’s go.’
Having made up her mind, Seria maximized her divine power and mana.
She has taken it as her long game so far, but this time she has to do the opposite.
It is not an opponent that can be defeated by wasting time.
A blow. Either end it with that one attack or meet the end.
Pain!―
With one step, in the blink of an eye, she is right in front of the throne.
The two swords in Seria’s hands crossed and aimed at the neck of the person sitting on her.
If you draw it like this, everything will be over. Everyone back to a peaceful world-
“f*ck. Shut up.”
Kooooo! Kwagwagwang!—
*
Collock―
Seria let out her cough once and checked the condition of her body.
Her arms and legs were crushed beyond recognition.
The overflowing mana and holy power just a moment ago dried up like a lie.
Obviously, it seemed like the attack was done properly, but the moment I said ‘ah’, this happened.
All the hardships I had endured to get here were in vain.
It was different from the level difference between the monsters outside the tower and the monsters inside.
The level of the person sitting on this throne was far beyond that.
It can’t even be compared to monsters. It is not something that can be done.
‘Dae, how could Sister Enlil deal with such a person….’
The one sitting on the throne slowly raises his body.
I take one step at a time and come closer to myself who is spread out on the floor.
Every time that happened, Seria tried hard to overcome the overwhelming fear.
Chin―
“Aww!”
The owner of her tower grabs her ceria by the collar and lifts her up on top of her.
Thanks to this, the limbs that were barely attached are dangling, causing terrible pain.
She felt like she was going to lose her mind at any moment, but Seria persevered with her superhuman patience.
She looked like she would beg for her life if she collapsed here. She
She, as a saint, as a warrior, had to endure in order to meet her deserved end.
“Really….”
Eyes that look like they could freeze and kill the other person just by looking at them.
Seria’s spirit, which had been able to handle that gaze, gradually began to crumble.
She had never been in a more terrible mess than this.
So she is the owner of the tower, no matter what Leon says.
Nothing was paying attention to her and she was just trembling.
“Really, you are the only one left.”
hahahaha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha ha. Laughter fills the throne hall.
It’s not the smile of victory he gives off because he defeated the warrior who came to him.
He collapsed, lost everything, and now all that was left was the spitting out of a smile.
Chin―
I hold my face halfway with my other hand.
There is no such thing as a nightmare. What the hell did you expect a year for?
There is nothing more irritating than holding on to hope and then losing it.
Calm down. Be cool. No matter how angry you are, you have to be patient.
Forcibly calming his boiling murderous intent and anger, Leon thought.
I lost something that was highly probable. If so, you need to find a replacement.
And that substitute is right in front of my eyes, in my hand.
Compared to Enlil, there are so many things I regret, but I can’t help it.
Come to think of it, isn’t she the only hero other than her who came this far?
‘Seria. Saintess. But he’s a scammer, how did he come here?’
I really only have this woman left now. It’s miserable. It’s miserable.
I told you not to have any expectations. Why did you do that stupid thing?
I even think that I’d rather just kill them and go out as I want.
“… Kill me.”
In the midst of it all, Seria, who was dangling, spits out a word as if squeezed.
Thanks to that, Leone laughed again without even realizing it.
How can they be so similar? Are you receiving an education that asks you to kill?
It was like the first time I saw Enlil, so I was just dumbfounded.
Ah, you actually receive such an education. As a hero, he had to accept his fate.
I’m sorry Seria, but that won’t happen.
If there is no Enlil, now you must take the place.
Recall her disgrace, chew your anger, and challenge the owner of the tower again.
You die or I die. Until the moment you achieve one of them.
“What, what are you doing….”
From noble mtl dot com
Without listening to Seria’s words, Leone sent her back outside her tower.
I didn’t feel the same way I did when I met Enlil before. She looked like she was taking out her trash.
Then, sitting down in his seat, Leone trembled at his futility and anger….
Kugugung―
With a slight vibration, the tightly closed door opens again.
And beyond that, a familiar woman appears.
“Nice to meet you. Master of the tower. Aren’t you a little late?”
With a strangely confident smile, different from before.
Enlil was standing there, full of mana raised by mana training.
