70 – Three Steps, Finally
Thump. Thud. Thud-
Every time Enlil’s step was separated, Leon’s heart also rang.
Once. Twice. Third time… Together every time I feel her climb the tower, floor by floor.
The owner of the tower can tell that the hero is climbing the tower. You can track its energy.
And Enlil was a warrior who climbed that tower countless times. Of course, her aura is familiar.
No. No Now, instead of saying “I’m used to it,” I should say “I’m used to it.”
It has changed. Even if it has changed, it has changed too much. To the extent that I wonder if this is Enlil’s energy.
She no longer had anything that was passionate, hot, and bright and warm at the same time.
Coldness, harshness, coldness, anger and hatred that have sunk to the bottom, they are just full of them.
‘It’s scary. Scary, scary It’s this woman.’
Sitting on her throne, Leone involuntarily smiled.
She is so hideous that even her own body, who pursues her from a distance, trembles.
A clear will is conveyed that he will grind and drink anything that is offensive to his eyes.
Actually, the monsters on each floor seemed to be literally being harpooned.
The demonic howls, which were faint at first, gradually grew louder and stronger.
They are the ones who try to harm the opponent somehow even at the moment of death.
But in pain, you’re crying out for help. What is this?
‘It must be today.’
I can feel it. It is today. Did he die and the tower collapsed, or did a hero of misfortune appear who couldn’t save the world because one was missing?
I hope it’s the former. It’s a tragedy anyway, so wouldn’t it be better to die a little less?
Wouldn’t it be better to see the end where one lives than the ending where both die?
‘… No.’
Yes. No. It’s a lie. The end where one of the two dies would not be nice to see.
It’s really nice to see nobody die. And no one is sad.
It’s nice to see everyone smiling at the end. Other than that it doesn’t make any sense
An intense conflict raises its head once again. Is this really the best?
Is there any other way? Since anything is good, is there really no better way than now?
If you search a little bit more, you might find a way. That’s right, if you just suppress the desire to go back, you might find a way….
“Crazy.”
As soon as he reached that point, Leone said to himself without even realizing it.
A sharp point pointed at oneself. A warning to stop running the happy circuit.
How? If you look for it, it will come out someday. Whether that’s 10 years later or 100 years later.
The problem is that the time left for him is not infinite. That destruction is just around the corner.
Uh, I’m going to be swept away just like that. It is clear that he will curse the self of yesterday who hesitated.
Kung. Thud. Thud-
Enlil’s momentum is getting stronger. And he gets closer and closer.
Every time that happened, Leon’s heart started beating like crazy.
The end, fate, and future that we thought would come one day.
I thought it was something I’d always been waiting for. When will it come? It was what I wanted so much.
I’m going crazy because it’s really coming. No, he may have already gone mad.
And after a while. The end, the fate that had no choice but to be encountered finally arrived at the door.
Koo-goo-
What will the woman who finally entered this place say?
She made a certain expression, she showed what emotion, in front of herself….
Shoot!― Kwajijik!―
“….”
Leone slightly turned her head to avoid the flash of light flying in front of her.
Nevertheless, a solid red line was already drawn around his neck, and his blood was dripping slightly.
Could it be that she didn’t get all of the damage, or was the mana on the surface stronger than she thought?
First of all, one thing is certain: that woman’s intention to kill is sincere.
I’m glad. If I had started talking as soon as I came in, I might have weakened my heart.
It must be the same for himself as well as for Enlil. Better to just fight then.
And Enlil was full of that will. She felt determined to end it all.
Leon stood up from his seat. She can’t afford to sit here anymore.
She has no reason to show her flaws or to be as gentle as possible in case she dies.
From now on, if she doesn’t do her best, Enlil could be seriously injured.
End. Yes, I will do my best to become a fight worthy of that word.
This is my destiny as a hero, my destiny as the owner of the tower. That’s the last chapter we collide with.
“Promise. I’m here to protect you. The owner of the tower.”
While holding a sword with sharp anticipation. Filled with terrifying mana with the technique he taught me.
Enlil took a step forward and drew an arc around his mouth. A smile, but not a smile.
“I’ll tear you to death.”
It’s scary. It’s really scary. I never thought that such words would come out of Enlil’s mouth.
But it’s nice to see you. I’m glad And thank you. For now, just give it to me like that.
I don’t think there’s anything to worry about. Thank god. Yes, i’m really glad
“Are you sure you won’t be torn?”
Ah, I really can’t do this anymore. It’s too childish, such a line.
This is the end. It’s really over. Beat the boss mobs that don’t even work, and let’s really go back.
With that thought, Leon slowly approached the hero standing in front of him.
Enlil also faced such a Lion and moved his steps.
Not long after, a roar began to fill the throne hall.
*
He is in front. The culprit of all tragedies, the owner of demons, and an offering to bring peace.
A disgusting being who played with himself, a maddened soul who giggled to himself while performing plays and all.
And. A man I once truly loved, and maybe he still loves.
“Huaaa!!”
Forget about it. No, you have to break it, crush it into small pieces, and throw it into the other side of oblivion.
Even if you still have him in your heart, even if you really have lingering feelings for him.
As a warrior, you cannot break the promise you made to yourself and to the world.
So that man must die. Today he must kill himself, with these hands.
Because I was betrayed. Because it is something that must disappear. It is an unavoidable fate.
Kwaguawang!― Coo Goo Palace!―
The throne hall, which had held up well until now, is collapsing little by little.
Every time Enlil’s body was wounded, Leon’s body was also wounded.
Just a year ago, I couldn’t even get him to get out of bed, let alone get hurt.
The man standing over there suddenly realizes how contradictory that person named Leone is.
He’s making the world die, but he wants to die himself too, so he’s telling you how.
I thought it was a smoke screen to deceive, but this mana technique was really a dagger itself.
A dagger meant to pierce and crush Leon’s heart, finally destroying even this tower.
‘It’s absurd. Seriously, I’m even more angry because I’m so stupid.’
As expected, I can’t seem to erase this murderous intent. It seems like it must be killed.
No matter how much you love him, no matter how much he has lingering lingering feelings, he isn’t human after all.
Aren’t they fragments of the damned chaos that must disappear for the sake of the world!
Swing the sword again. Once, twice, without stopping, going in and out.
Don’t give a gap. In the long run, the odds of winning are very slim.
Even though I brought as much mana as possible through the mana practice method, it is not infinite.
More than anything else, my body is weaker to wounds and injuries than that being. It collapses when accumulated.
So if I have one scar on my body, I have to leave at least more or deeper scars than that.
When he moves once, you have to move twice, and if he tries to attack, you have to destroy it from the root with a deadly blow rather than a defense.
You have to win. You have to win and take it down. You have to knock it down and put an end to it.
It is a burden that cannot be passed on to anyone more. He will finish it himself today.
Avenging my heart that was brutally humiliated and swayed here and there, Marira.
Kakacak! Awesome!—
As mana collides with mana, a noise spreads as if space is being crushed.
The power of the beings who have reached the limit of the limit, the collision they cause.
It has been a long time since the area has already changed precariously, as if it would collapse at any moment.
“Now, it seems like we are fighting.”
It sounds like a fight? That’s how you say it’s fun
Are you happy? Okay. It will be fun ‘Cause you’re a damn thing
Because it’s an ugly soul that giggled while playing with people’s hearts.
What did you expect? I was expecting all these words to come out.
“Huh!”
It grits its teeth and cuts one large diagonally. Thanks to that, the distance widens.
A question looms over Leon’s face. It must be strange to do this all of a sudden after attacking.
You will soon find out why. I hope you look forward to it.
So full of anger, hatred, and even a vague regret.
Wasn’t everyone a strong motivation for this one time?
Wow—
Immediately after one brief resonant sound.
Fuhak!―
In the blink of an eye, blood spurted from Leon’s chest and bloodlines were drawn.
What about Rion, who didn’t even realize what was going on? While doing so, he raised the corner of his mouth.
“Ha.”
One step closer. Finally.
