Around the time when the fight between Tia and Gentilis was nearing its end.
In front of the imperial gates.
The bombardment that followed at the same time as Gentilis appeared originally had the power to kill everyone in the empire.
Although a considerable amount of power was drastically reduced thanks to the magic of Oz, the effect was less as it moved away from the center.
Yes, most of those who were fighting in front of the gates of the Empire did not see the effect of the magic.
And the biggest influence was… … .
“Huh… … Heo-eok… … .”
It was Theo, Gentilis’ goal.
As he was revealing his true form, he was directly hit by numerous attacks as the area of attack was wide.
“That’s absurd.”
But Theo was alive.
On the other hand, the imperial army, including those who were driving Theo, was in a state that could be called annihilation.
Since they were selected for battle in the first place, there were many who survived, but none who could move.
Yes, most of them are down.
Even the warrior, the wizard, and the goblin who built the shield.
By the way… … .
“I thought it would be you standing in front of me in this situation.”
Eleanor von Chrysos.
only she was still standing. He was raising his sword towards Theo.
What would you say if you didn’t call this situation absurd?
Awesome!
Theo put his body back into his shell.
Exposing its true face alone consumes Daevas.
Not to mention, there are wounds from Gentilis’ attack, so you have to keep your strength as intact as possible. And the opponent is also not fine.
“… … .”
To be honest, I didn’t have to do this.
Even if Daeva’s exhaustion is severe, it doesn’t take that long to dispose of the girl in front of him.
Even so, it’s probably taking the form of a delay.
‘Did my memories start to get tangled?’
It was said that the influence of ‘Delay’ in his life was showing up severely.
he honors
That is why, if even a defeated soldier stands proudly in front of me, he is a person who accepts a challenge if he wants it.
“good night.”
‘Delay’ grabbed the window. I took a proper stance and waited for my opponent.
‘Theo’ also knew that he was strange now.
There is no need to wait for the opponent to prepare. But even so, Theo joined the tendency of the delay.
“Prove it.”
I can’t help but admit it now.
I don’t know how. She said so, and in the end it did.
She was neither a warrior nor a sage who could stand up at this last moment, but a fragile princess who survived in the ruined land.
How do you see yourself now?
It is in such a weakened state that it is difficult to maintain the original appearance.
Then what about her?
Her sword, which she couldn’t even approach, was now close enough to touch her.
Now there was no soft light that could only confirm what was there.
She is no longer a dull silver light. It is the light of dawn with a bright golden glow.
It is a symbol of a new morning.
“Prove me wrong. Because you deserve it.”
He conquered many worlds, but no one proved it.
Some were stronger than her.
There were others with a stronger will than her.
But no one reached out.
There was not a single person who could get close to him, who could punish him as a monster.
“If luck is this good, it must be fate.”
if there is a god
If you want to punish him for committing so many sins.
I have no intention of avoiding it.
“However, denying fate is the path we chose.”
They tried to reverse it.
Forsaken by God, that was all they could do.
they deny god
I am not denying the existence. They are destroying the existence of God.
It is their longing to kill them and devour their blood and flesh.
“If all I have done is sin, then judge him.”
Theo gave up being human and threw away all honor.
A delay that he was willing to risk his life for the sake of honor.
The memories and inclinations of the two people were entangled, and one person was completed.
Theo absolutely denies Eleanor’s choice and justice.
Delade pays homage to Eleanor’s choice and justice.
and in between
compromise between the two.
“I will not avoid it.”
do not avoid
If you think you are right, if you want to cry out that the other person is wrong.
At least I won’t avoid it at this place.
Using only the spear held in both hands as a weapon, not strength and irrationality.
“Come, Eleanor von Chrysos.”
is to prove
that he was not wrong. They are wrong.
The ones who will be defeated are the idiots who did not give up even in the face of irrationality, not the one who succumbed to reality.
“… … like.”
Eleanor straightened her sword at Theo, who looked much different.
“Speak. Why are you clinging to that sword so tenaciously? Is it revenge? is it a mission? Or is it honor?”
“I can’t forgive you for messing up my life.”
she must avenge
Through revenge, we must release the resentment of the people who died unjustly.
“Until we kill you, we won’t be able to reclaim Chrysos’ land.”
She has a mission.
There is a final mission of the royal family to rebuild the kingdom.
“And above all. Now that the honor that parents valued more than their lives has been lost, they must act as children.”
she wants the honor
She wants to regain the honor her parents have built over their entire life.
“… … .”
Theo seemed to have had a real conversation with her only now.
Up until now, there had been many opportunities to talk, but most of them had been cut off by his contempt and disregard.
“Really, do you want everything? Don’t you think that greed is excessive?”
“It is because of that desire that I am able to stand here.”
I finally started to hear. The time has come to find the answer to a question that has been buried in your mind for a long time.
“I sacrificed ignorant and stupid people to live. Do you think I’m wrong?”
“Yes, you are wrong.”
“Where?”
“If you want to know the answer… … .”
The golden glow in Eleanor’s sword was gone.
She doesn’t use her greatest weapon, the [Understander’s Key].
It didn’t seem like that.
“Then, don’t look away any longer and keep your eyes open.”
“under… … .”
“Because your regrets are here.”
“ha ha ha… … .”
Theo rubbed his face and burst out laughing. Her words seemed like she understood everything.
That he was just struggling ugly. The truth is that I regret it more than anyone else.
That he could never be right as long as he had that regret. That you can’t admit that you’re right.
It was as if Eleanor saw through it all.
“Don’t look away… … .”
It was a difficult request.
Those eyes that did not lose their light under any circumstances were burdensome.
Having lived so many times in the dark, it is he himself who is afraid of even the faint silver light.
But now the morning light was shining on him.
How can you not be dazzled?
How could you not want to close your eyes?
“As you said, I may not be a special person.”
Eleanor has special powers. However, it cannot fully handle its special power and is far from being called a special being.
Yes, even though she has special powers, she is not a special person.
“I have lived in a cage for too long and now I have spread my wings. I don’t have the talent to reverse those years. At least it is now.”
She is not a battlefield hero.
It cannot be a trump card that can overturn all irrationality.
“Nevertheless.”
A girl named Eleanor von Chrysos is quite immature.
Because there was no overwhelming talent to instantly fill that immaturity.
Even though she tried hard, she couldn’t go beyond the realm of a criminal.
“It doesn’t mean I can’t do special things because I’m not special.”
Anyone can be.
Even if it takes time, even if each person’s special judgment is different.
From a snoring kid on the street to an old woman dying on her bed. Anyone can be special.
“And now it’s easier. It’s nothing special. admonishing those who do wrong. Even if you are not a special person, even if you are not a mature person.”
Zie.
Eleanor trampled the ground. The cumbersome longsword was thrown to the ground.
She held only one greatsword and looked straight ahead.
“Because anyone can do it.”
So far everything has been blocked.
All of that was blocked before it could be accomplished by the tip of a spear that jumped out of space and came out from an unexpected place.
But not now. Eleanor could see that this was not the case.
The enemy in front of me is no longer a battlefield commander who only pursues efficiency.
He now decided to stand before her as a warrior.
He decided to confidently express his will in front of him and defy the will of his opponent.
“Then good.”
Theo fantasizes about it.
I saw the proud appearance of the past. I had a longing for the past. I also resented the past for failing.
And now he has no right to dream like that.
I decided to settle in the eternal darkness where I couldn’t sleep on my own.
I chose a life of swallowing everything just to survive.
He was standing over the body. It was he himself who made the body.
he wasn’t wrong
If you say that you are wrong now, the corpse you are stepping on will become a simple corpse, not a tower you have built for survival.
That’s not right.
Not as much as that.
he laughed at them They ridiculed and slandered human dignity.
He frightened them and encouraged them to become monsters like himself.
‘I wanted to live even if it was ugly.’
I wanted to live. I didn’t want to be alone as a monster. The death of Penny, who had collapsed with her soul, drove him into even more extreme fear.
“I am not wrong.”
Everyone Theo loved said so. Although they chose to die as humans, they did not criticize Theo for becoming a monster.
“No one can deny that fact. I will make it.”
Until now, Theo had been criticized by those who knew nothing about him and only looked at the results.
That’s why you have to push what you believe is right to the end.
“So die. Eleanor von Chrysos. Let me die and prove again that I am not wrong.”
“You are a pitiful person.”
“Maybe.”
fault!
Theo ran. I ran in a straight line in the direction of Eleanor.
Do not hesitate. he is right
I do not deny everything I have done so far. He does not deny the evil he has accumulated with his corpse.
He just went straight ahead, believing that the path was not wrong.
“You missed the time to stop.”
“know.”
“But that can’t be a reason not to stop!”
Eleanor vigorously raised her greatsword. The tip of the greatsword struck her in a huge arc from behind and in front of her.
Honest and heavy.
Each of her desires becomes a weight and falls down.
aaa!!
The straight, untrembling spear point collides with the simple, monotonous sword.
The strength and physique of Theo Scissors.
As for the power of each weapon, Eleanor is higher.
Due to the gap between the two, the attacks of the two men were equal.
“Haaa!!”
And the sword, which contained only greed and mission, not her speciality, began to push Theo’s spear.
The straight path that Theo believed was right all his life begins to shake.
With the tip of the spear, the tower of corpses that he had been forcibly giving meaning to began to crumble.
Yes, the truth is this.
Even if you are right, that is just self-righteousness. A tower built at the expense of others is bound to be unstable.
Right now this moment. that proves
On the road that has come too far, the time to stop comes.
Theo closed his eyes. The light in front of her was so dazzling that it seemed that an evil like herself could not bear to look at it.
But the moment the balance, the tower of corpses, and the unstable road were about to collapse.
“no… … . this is not If that’s the case, it’s no fun at all. father.”
Someone got in between them.
A young man who resembles the girl in front of him, but has a slightly colder impression.
[sophist]
Lesis von Chrysos
He broke the balance of power that had begun to tilt to one side in the middle and separated the two of them.
“Lessie… … !”
“Yeah, nice to meet you too. Eleanor.”
Lesis kicked Eleanor with those words. As she was forced to move her body, which had reached its limit, she could not withstand the attack.
“Keuuugh!”
Eleanor struggled to get herself up again. However, she had already reached her limit and was unable to get up.
“Brother, brother, why are you here… … . no, before that. why are you disturbing me… … why him… … !”
“It’s not the way you look at your brother. no, it doesn’t matter Seeing him speak gibberish, he seems insane anyway. Yes, I will understand.”
And Lesis turned her head away as if she didn’t care about Eleanor’s struggles.
“Father, isn’t it? Isn’t it my honorable father to return alive under any adverse conditions?”
“… … Yes, that’s right.”
Theo looked back and forth between the collapsed Eleanor and the wide-smiling Lesis, then turned around.
“what? just go back? Can I not kill this?”
Lesis turned around without hesitation and asked Theo.
Theo turned his head to look at Lesis. His eyes were infinitely cold. Even with those eyes, Lesis shrugged her shoulders as if there was something wrong.
“If you have the confidence to deal with them, I won’t stop you.”
“yes?”
Lesis wondered what that meant, but soon found the answer by looking at the place where Theo’s gaze was heading.
“Eleanor, this is it. already at the limit It’s time to step down today.”
There was a girl who looked like Eleanor, but was much colder.
Eli, the incarnation of the key, was glaring at Lesis while suppressing Eleanor, who was about to attack, with one hand.
“… … .”
And there was a being clothed in rolling darkness.
[KP King]
Marie Cistus
She was conveying her will through actions instead of words.
“Well… … .”
Lesis swallowed dry saliva.
he knows
I know how skilled the being born of the key is.
I know the power that the more dead there are, the stronger you become.
I know where the eerieness of staring at him comes from.
And if they try to kill Eleanor, how they will come out.
“Yeah, that won’t work.”
Lesis calmly curled her tail.
The reason he can escape now is because the two of them showed mercy.
It’s just a miss to give Eleanor another chance.
A group of people here will only die.
“… … .”
Theo, who had been watching Lesys, hurried his steps.
“After all, nothing has changed… … .”
Theo’s voice was colder than usual.
he survived again No one could condemn him. yes. His choice was still not wrong.
“… … Is there any choice but to continue living as a monster?”
I thought it was Seogwang.
I thought the morning would come bright.
But he was still in the dark. The sun, which would illuminate his ugliness, did not know how to rise.
Yes, he was still in the endless polar night
