144 – Delinia – Lily von Euglia finish
“Dragon Breath.”
My eyes are white and I can’t see anything.
All I could feel was that even I, who had resistance to flames, was radiating heat from Rose.
Right after the heat gradually subsided and vision was restored. When I saw the scene unfolding before me, I couldn’t keep my mouth shut.
“… … What the hell did you do, Rose?”
Everyone except Beryl and Lily, who had been surrounded by the undead until just now, had evaporated.
The remaining Lily and Beryl also seemed to have exhausted all of their mana while blocking the previous attack, and Beryl was lying on her back with her eyes closed.
The undead look so tired? Mana must have been depleted.
What the heck should I do to make a being of the level of Lily exhausted like that? when you have such doubts.
“A real dragon breath… … . How do our descendants, the elves, use the skills that dragons use?”
Lily, who was slumped on the floor, looked in the direction we were looking at with a sad expression and asked.
No, I didn’t hear ‘Dragon Breath’ wrong? Not a wild name like Fire Rose Punch, but really that ‘Dragon Breath’?
Looking at Rosé with a serious expression, Rosé, who was holding a branch of the World Tree, scratched her head in embarrassment and laughed hahahaha.
“that… … . The Vice-Chancellor informed me. I don’t know if anyone else knows, but if it’s my body that’s covered with the magic of the World Tree, I’ll be able to use it at least once.”
“… … I see.”
The reason why he used the sword while coming here was probably to conserve his mana to shoot the dragon breath.
“How much mana is left?”
“… … It’s a bunch more. I don’t think I can even light a cigarette.”
Rosé, too, sat down on the floor and began to moan as if she had consumed all her mana with the attack.
“Okay, rest because I’m finishing.”
“… … Please.”
I trudge toward Lily, who is sitting on the floor.
“… … thank god. It ended like this.”
“Yeah, it was pretty tough because you were so damn strong.”
“Is there anything special? When you get necromancy, you know it’s wrong, but you think it’s natural for you to act that way.”
At least she was someone like Lily, so she was able to help us implicitly. If it was an ordinary undead, he would have just followed orders like a machine.
“I will ask you before I kill that guy who summoned you. Is there any information you can give us?”
“I have information. But because of the ban, it is impossible to speak with my own mouth.”
“… … There is no difference.”
“I can’t help it.”
“Then, rest in peace.”
“thank you.”
It was the moment when Beryl was beheaded after the final goodbye.
“Please stop!”
Tequila’s urgent voice came from behind. As soon as she knew the situation was over, she ran towards this place, and beads of sweat were forming on her face.
“Tequila?”
“Ha ha ha, the way… … There is a way… … .”
“There is a way, what do you mean?”
“Because of the previous battle, your level has risen to the 4th circle. The size of the slot has also improved as a result.”
“… … no way. Are you saying you want to take control of Lily here?”
My voice turns cold as I speak to tequila.
Marvas was enraged just for reviving Lily. By the way, are you going to make Lily, who is barely able to rest again, unable to rest?
It was because, in fact, all I could hear was that I was going to pamper Lily.
“no. I don’t intend to do that, nor can I. The opponent is not an ordinary undead, but Lily von Euglia.”
In short, it was the lack of slots.
“Then what are you planning to do?”
“For a very short time, I will steal the contract between Lily-sama and that Necromancer. If so, Lily-sama can tell you the information you know.”
“… … Is that possible?”
Stealing a contract with a summoned beast? It was the first time even I had heard it.
“it’s possible. Exactly, Lily-sama was resurrected as a necromancy, not a pet contract. With my necromancy, it is possible to steal the contract. Of course, it would have to be with Lily-sama’s consent.”
Tequila said that and glanced at Lily.
“It’s good. If we can help you in that way, there is no reason to refuse.”
Tequila, with Lily’s consent, looks at me this time.
Lily agreed so first, what am I supposed to say? I nodded, and Tequila nodded as well, looking at Lily.
“Then we will do it.”
Saying so, Tequila summoned the scythe she usually carried in the air. Then, tequila slowly headed towards Beryl.
“From now on, I will sever your contract with Lily.”
Tequila, quietly chanting as if declaring, quickly drew a scythe between Beryl and Lily.
Ting–
At the same time as the sound of something breaking, Tequila snatches something out of the air and looks at Lily.
“You can tell me everything you know from now on.”
“Ah, the ban has been lifted. How long will this condition last?”
“… … 10 minutes is the limit.”
“Ten minutes… … . That’s enough. Then, from now on, I will tell you everything I know about the Disaster Formation.”
Like that, from Lily’s mouth, why did they bring Lily back to life? After that, stories began to flow about how the guys would work.
Their resurrecting Lily wasn’t much different from what I expected.
Resurrect Lily, the symbol of the elves, and put them at the forefront of the war that will follow. With it, it causes chaos in the formation of the human world and grows Lily’s ability to use the powerful power she showed in the past.
This was the reason they resurrected Lily.
“They said they realized past failures and are moving much more systematically. That’s why I’m doing thorough preliminary work like now. When I resurrect in the graveyard and talk to the follower of Naberius over there. He said he had another mission besides resurrecting me.”
“… … Another mission?”
“Yes, they said we had to find out in advance and get rid of beings that would be a big hindrance in the future. Also, Beryl’s mission was to find and kill the saintess.”
saintess.
An existence that is said to appear on the ground as an agent of God when disasters arrive and great chaos befalls the land. In the past [Summoner’s Academia], it was also a presence that appeared as a friend and colleague of the main character.
“You mean the saintess appeared?”
“Beryl said so. The Holy Church detected the appearance of a saintess.”
“… … Right.”
Perhaps Lily’s words were true. Even in the game, it was written that the saint always appeared whenever disaster struck.
“This is all I know. I’m sorry I can’t be of much help.”
“Don’t worry, it’s been a big enough help.”
“Thank you for saying that. how to say I don’t know why, but I feel familiar with you.”
“… … is it?”
“Yes, it doesn’t seem like the first time I’ve seen it… … . It’s like something I’ve seen before… … . By any chance, have we met before?”
“It must be an illusion. I don’t remember meeting you.”
“… … is that so.”
It wasn’t true. I was closest to her. Using her, her companions, and various summoned creatures, she defeated the disaster and brought peace to the continent.
But, this is the first time with this body. She must have been mistaken.
“A pretty silver-haired Necromancer girl? How much time do you have left?”
“… … We have about six minutes left.”
“Enough. Enough time to say goodbye. Yes? Demonic.”
At Lily’s words, Demonic, who had been standing next to Tequila, clattered and took a step forward.
Oh, it was.
The purpose of our coming here was to eventually take Demonic and Tequila to the graveyard.
But with Lily out of the graveyard like this… … In fact, it seems that the purpose has been achieved.
Dalgrak– Dalgrak–
“Demonic-sama has always been———”
“Whoops, I’ve been wanting to say this all along. That’s your answer. Demonic.”
Originally, it was demonic’s words that could only be understood with the interpretation of tequila, but for some reason, Lily seemed to be able to understand the demonic’s words.
Dalgrak– Dalgrak–
“I see. I was also sad that I did not see you before I died.”
Dalgrak– Dalgrak–
“ha ha ha! Did something like that happen? Is that the necromancer girl over there? hehehe~”
Dalgrak– Dalgrak–
“yes that’s right. Certainly, the time has come to renew the oath.”
At the same time as Lily said that, Demonic’s body began to twist and change.
Kuduk. Bones being refitted with a squeak. Soon, Demonic, who had become a worthy knight, knelt down in front of Lily and stuck the sword he was holding into the ground.
Tequila became the 4th circle, and Demonic made a corresponding change.
“Demonic, the hero of the fallen world and your knight. From now on, I want to return the oath I gave you and serve a new master. Will you allow it?”
Lily, who heard Demonic’s solemn declaration, struggled to get up from her seat, clutching her trembling feet.
Lily pulls out the sword stuck in front of her and politely raises it and hands it to Demonic.
“I will allow you to rescind your oath. Please, go on a new journey with your new owner. My first and last article. Demonic.”
The returned Demonic, placed in Lily’s hand, straightens her knees and returns to Tequila.
When Lily was smiling at the scene.
“Lily! Lily von Euglia!”
“Great-great-grandmother!”
In the distance, there were two people running towards this place after destroying the remains of the fallen undead.
Lily smiled and waved at the sight.
“Ah, Lord Marvas. And our cute descendants.”
Marvas, who approached Lily at once, looked at her with a sad expression, probably realizing that Lily had no time left just by examining the situation.
“Are you leaving?”
“Yes, because I am a person who has already passed away. I have to return to the bosom of the World Tree.”
“… … is it.”
“Yes, that is the way of nature.”
“I was worried that I couldn’t say goodbye when I heard that you died, but now I can do it like this.”
“Oh, is it Marvas-sama? Are you impressed?”
“Ha, you are still the same even after death.”
“well. Whoops.”
“bye.”
“yes.”
“Rest in peace.”
“sure. Oh, yes. Marvas. You said you signed a contract with my descendant, right?”
“hmm? You mean Rose over there?”
“that’s right. There is a cute little boy with black hair that has not been dyed. Her name was Rosé. really. Another child… … .”
“Ella. This is Ella von Euglia.”
Lily said to me, ‘Oh. Ella,’ he muttered, looking in the direction where Ella and Rosé are.
“Ella. And Rosé… … . Would you both like to visit your great-grandmother?”
“Us? Heh, it’s hard to move… … .”
“sister! My great-grandmother is calling! Spoiled!”
“It hurts! don’t hit me! you can go! mask!”
Lily, who was watching the scene, covered her mouth and laughed.
“These are really cute kids. I called you all because I just wanted to say hello. Rosé used to be a pie. Did you say you met that child?”
“Auntie? yes. Yes.”
“He is very reluctant to meet new people. That child is also a family member, so I hope Rosé and Ella will take good care of it.”
“sure! I am close with my aunt!”
“Yes, I will do as my great-great-grandmother said.”
“It’s believable. good kids.”
Lily patted the heads of the two while muttering that.
“Mr. Marvas. Please take care of these children. Please, take good care of it.”
“… … let me do that.”
“and… … Gregory Jones? Is that right?”
Then she turns around and looks at me.
“okay. It’s Gregory Jones.”
“Yes, Gregory. Please ask for this world, for my family and descendants.”
“… … let me do that.”
“Be kind. Also, please take good care of Tequila over there. When I heard what Demonic said, he said he was talented enough.”
Tequila is already a member of Gregory Child. There was no reason not to take it.
“Do that.”
“You’re a nice person despite what you look like, aren’t you?”
… … Discrimination on what happened here? makes you speechless
The time Tequila said gradually passed. Lily’s body slowly begins to crumble.
Seeing her body slowly crumbling, starting with her fingers, Lily sat back down and looked around at us.
“Everyone, thank you so much. Thanks, it was a fun outing. By the way, Gregory, could you come over here for a moment?”
As I said that, I cautiously put my head toward her as she gestured for me, and she whispered something in my ear.
“─────”
“… … Note it.”
“Yes, please.”
Lily smiled brightly at my words.
“Then, the time is up, so I’ll go back now. Hello everyone—”
Finally, all the mana surrounding her body is scattered, leaving only the small ossuary that originally contained her bones.
The silent silence flowing through the scene.
At this, Rose, who had been quiet until now, opened her mouth.
“Hello, great-great-grandmother.”
Thus, the terrible Halloween was over.
