128 – The Story of a Winter Day (5)
#The Story of a Winter Day (5)
…… Uh? Why does it hurt?
Dream… no?
That one slap was enough for me to realize that this absurd situation was real.
And then from then on.
Well, he is trembling while holding the iron sword strapped to his waist.
Even though he is a special interrogator, he is not Julius.
If you were to intervene in the fight between the angel and the dragon, you would be no different from the dust mixed with fallen leaves scattered by the rough flaps of their wings.
-Get back now! Lionelta! You obviously decided not to get involved in this!
“Why should I, an angel, keep my promise to the devil? Why should I listen to someone like you, a lowly person, not even Arnhil, who made a promise!”
“…… Personally, I think promises should be kept. So, don’t fight, just walk away…….”
-Then you can just break through with force! Now that I have no weaknesses, I am invincible!
“… Fighting just leads to more fighting. “If you calm down your anger and take a deep breath, you will surely think of another way.”
“You’re saying embarrassing things that even a young boy wouldn’t say! “I’m invincible. Aren’t you ashamed of it?”
-Ugh! I will kill you!
Quaaa!
“…… Ah.”
Wrong. Neither of them even pretended to hear.
…… No, you really can’t hear it. Should I speak louder? But what if I say it out loud and the real answer comes back? It’s scary…….
Saint Telmir used to say that words are better than fights, and silence is better than words.
Enin, too, thought that was 100% correct, except when dealing with demons.
-This cheeky angel, who can’t even take a bite, is really quick to avoid it. Before dawn, I will pierce that skin with my fangs, chew it, and swallow it!
But looking at those long fangs dripping with saliva.
Looking at the whites of the eyes stained black by demonic energy and the fresh-blooded eyes filled with life.
As expected, when dealing with demons, I end up thinking that words are better than fighting, and silence is better than words.
“Hmph! Arthur, Arthur. There are two of us here, not alone. This means that a special Heresy Questioner who is ‘on the same level’ as Julius Tapnel has joined the team. If you can’t even defeat me alone, do you think you can take on the two of us?
-…… Julius? Same class?
“…… “hehehe.”
I am now dead.
Even if I tried to stay still, the trembling of my whole body, which had been fluttering like a live fish that had just emerged from the land, stopped for an instant.
Looking at the dirt road in the mountains full of dry leaves, I gently raise my rolling eyes as I wonder how I can stop the fight between those two.
-…… Come to think of it, I forgot about that girl. Indeed, she is an unusual girl from the point of view of what she is doing.
An evil dragon from a storybook her mother used to read to her at bedtime as a child.
So… The name…
… Was it a very evil dragon? Now that I think about it, I wonder if there are all these roughly made-up names.
“…… Ah.”
As soon as he raised his head, his eyes met, and as he looked at the large demon dragon with an elongated neck, Enin ironically remembered a picture book with a fluffy feel drawn in pastel.
Each piece of scale has the coolness of a sharp sword blade. This ridiculous ancient monster, each of whose black teeth is taller than Enin himself, feels like a character from a picture book.
I guess I felt such extreme fear all at once that my brain arbitrarily replaced the dragon in front of me with an ‘extremely evil dragon’ from a picture book.
Tanahil and Enin were very orthodox, and for some reason their eyes met slowly. He calmly lowered his eyes.
‘Calm down, Enin. That dragon in front of me is no high-ranking devil. Then what is it? So, yes! It’s a very evil dragon that appears in a picture book my mother used to read to me. So what am I? ‘Yongsan?’
As soon as he opens his eyes, Enin’s brain, which is severely damaged due to having to fight the legendary demon dragon, continues to think as it pleases.
Indeed, if the dragon in front of you is a dragon from a picture book, then he is a warrior from a picture book.
Enin scanned his outfit with his eyes as a ridiculous thought that he would never think of came to his mind.
The first thing that caught my eye was the Heretic Inquisitor’s uniform, which was crumpled and made of cloth with red flower petals all over it.
I mustered up a little courage and raised my gaze slightly, and I saw that in his hand was an iron sword whose teeth had been knocked out when it collided with Cecil—a demon presumed to be pretending to be a demon.
“…… “Hmm, I guess he’s not a hero.”
Okay, situation has been assessed.
I guess Enin himself wasn’t the hero from the fairy tale in the picture book.
Then, of course, that demon dragon stretched out its long neck and thrust its large maw, seething with demonic energy, right up to Enin.
It’s probably not a ‘very evil dragon’.
-Are you a woman with the same position as Julius?
“…… Well, that’s right. Actually, I should say that I am Julius’ subordinate… “What a difference in annual leave!”
I was so embarrassed by the sudden conversation that I ended up beeping.
I only said a few words, but the feeling of intimidation that came over me was no joke.
…… Against such a monster, you made such a crazy provocation…….
Once again located in the corner of my vision. I am in awe of the angel floating majestically high in the sky with his brilliant wings wide open.
So, please… ….
Don’t just look at me, please save me!
Desperately rolling her eyes, whose colors had changed due to the demon Cecil, Enin sent a rescue request to Lionelta.
[That. A little. Help me. Please. Still a man’s hand. I couldn’t catch it. I can’t die.]
“Ha. I got it, I got it. Don’t worry, I won’t let you die. Even if you die, that b*tch will just jump up and down and be happy.”
Lionel Ta also opened her mouth to Ta Na Hill with a sly smile, as if she was truly thinking of Enin as her best force.
“Tanahil, you stupid thing. The human world does not necessarily establish hierarchy through force alone. “Oh, you’re so stupid, you can’t even understand this.”
From Noble mtl dot com
I always mentioned the provocation that I mentioned before whenever I spoke.
-…… hehehe.
“Hmm? Why is there suddenly such unpleasant laughter…….”
-Now I understand. Nui and Nirhil, that b*tch’s intentions.
However, Tanahil’s reaction was very different from before.
-It looks like your sister wants to waste time.
As if he understood something, he let out a sinister and sinister laugh.
-Why, does it seem like there’s something big that I shouldn’t go to Nirhil for?
“… ….”
Tanahil’s words were definitely straight to the point.
Lionelta was speechless for a moment, having never thought that that stupid bird-head, or rather, the dragon-head, would notice what the other party was aiming for.
“So, what are you going to do if you notice? Through me, the Angel of Death, and through Enin, the Supreme Heretic Questioner. Do you think you can reach Nirhil in the palace far away?”
But soon.
Lionelta’s tongue, which reached the point where she thought, ‘Unlike Nirhil, Tanahil cannot use magic that transcends space,’ moved like a flowing stream of green water again.
-Of course, unlike my sisters, I am not good at using magic. There may be no way to get through four years.
Surprisingly.
Tanahil, who had been running rampant just a moment ago as if tearing down everything in sight, also nodded as if he agreed with Lionelta’s words.
“…… Uh.”
No then. How long will this situation continue?
Then can’t I just let it go? No, just send it to me. Please send it to me!
Ennin’s expression changed to something quite comical as the situation seemed to be going out of the ordinary.
There is no way for Tanahil to escape Lionelta and fly from this unknown mountain to the palace.
And Lionelta, I don’t know why, but it seems like there’s no way to beat that big dragon right away.
That means that the current situation is a deadlock.
This is a situation where an angel and a devil – a dragon – are in conflict in the sky, and a small speck of dust called Enin is caught between them.
It was said that it would continue forever.
If this continues, your lifespan will continue to decrease in real time and you may die suddenly!
“…… “hehehe.”
But fortunately, God must have read Enin’s heart.
Words announcing the end of a stalemate that was unhealthy for the heart flowed freely from Tanahil’s large maw.
-But. Sister, no Lionelta. Do you think I acted as an advocate protecting this Darkana without any compensation?
…… Uh.
After listening to it all, I’m glad… It was a very meaningful statement to say.
Deep in the mountains, Enin, who was standing on a mountain path that had become bumpy due to tree roots sticking out of the ground, and Lionelta, who was floating in the sky with a unique ocean-like color at dawn, tilted their heads at the same time.
-Arnhill. My second sister is really good at scheming.
“…… Yes? “Another strange name.”
“Arnhill! “No way, that damn devil is doing something strange again!”
Arnhill. To Enine, it was just a vague sound like ■■■, but to Lionelta, she could clearly hear the ominous three letters of the name.
“…… Ugh!”
Lionel Tar, realizing later that she had been too relaxed, hurriedly raised her hand and unleashed the power to transform the demonic energy into her divine power.
-It is a magic that transcends space. It was really convenient. I don’t know the details, but it won’t be too late to chew and swallow that Nirhil b*tch’s shell and then listen.
Tanahil, who gained almost infinite regenerative power by swallowing the high-ranking demon Ketyalhil, who had the body of a Kraken, whole, raised his head and snorted as if he thought it was funny to see divine power oozing out from all over his body.
Wow.
“Profit! Arn Hill! “That b*tch can’t sit still for even once!”
“Hey, that’s magic?! “Are you too big?!”
As I slowly turned my head to follow the gaze of the large evil dragon, it seemed as if there was a large crack in the dawn sky.
The magic that created such a strange illusion caught my eye.
“Crack” Magic that causes permanent damage between spaces and forcibly connects them.
It seems that Arnhil had already assumed that Cecil would ask Lionelta to stop Tanahill.
-It’s no use blocking me, Lionelta. Even if my body is torn in half by your strength, I can overcome even that!
“Hey! Aren’t you standing there? Come down now when I have good words for you! Hey!”
Realizing that he had caught her off guard and even caught her, Lionel Ta said such vulgar words that it was hard to believe he was an angel.
But Tanahil. The high-ranking devil, disguised as the last remaining dragon in this world, did not even notice Lionelta, who was desperately throwing magic at him while using evil, and simply flapped his wings slowly towards the crack above his head.
-What do you think? How does it feel to have been dealt a blow to someone who had always looked down on me, calling me a change of opinion?
“…… Noisy! “Can’t you just shut up!”
Even though it is huge, it is so huge that it takes time to float up to the cracked sky, which is a blessing in disguise.
Lionelta, who had suffered the humiliation of having all her magic and powers reduced to nothing due to the small cracks that slowly spread out from the crack that began to engulf the entire sky, flew towards the back of Tanahil with her three pairs of large wings wide open. I started chasing desperately.
“Come! Nerondir!”
Crying out the name of the cocky little Seonggeom, who is probably holed up somewhere in the palace.
It was already too late to stop that fearsome dragon with magic.
At the moment, we don’t know what kind of magic is mixed in, but the small cracks extending from the “Crack” Are sticking to the manifested magic and destroying the magic energy itself that makes up the magic. Magic or powers that do not have physical binding power are of no use.
So, in the current situation, in order to prevent that large dragon from entering the crack. The power of Tapnel and Julius’s “Gold” Is required.
「Gold」’S main role is to amplify the power of divine flame or demonic energy, but it is also a power that can materialize weapons such as spears or swords.
If we could implement a large harpoon that would bring that dragon down to the ground, we would be able to prevent Tanahil from entering that crack right now!
“…… But, why isn’t this b*tch coming!”
However, Nerondir, who would enable Lionelta to use that “Gold”, Is nowhere to be seen.
No matter how many times you call his name, the Holy Sword will not come.
No matter how much I glare at the palace, which looks like a small miniature since it has already soared high in the sky, no matter how hard I look, I cannot see the pure white holy sword flying towards me.
“This b*tch or that b*tch! That b*tch! Why isn’t there a single b*tch who can help in this emergency! “It doesn’t matter whether he’s a bastard or a b*tch, someone can stop him!”
Although Lionelta knows that her biggest mistake was not thinking that ‘Through Arnhil’s magic, Tanahil will be freed from her control’, Lionelta’s mouth curses Cecil, Enin, and the Holy Sword, which is still untouchable. The words came out like rapid fire.
-The crack is now just around the corner. Now that this has come to an end, my sister, let’s go back to the palace with me. Nirhil and his sister. Arnhill and I will join hands and share a bloody battle of slaughter.
“Someone hold hands with that damn girl!” “Don’t say such horrible things!”
What, join hands with Nirhil?
If you let your guard down and miss Tanahil and storm into the palace together, what on earth would that obnoxious girl say?
‘Ha, sister. No, grandma. ‘Her grandmother won’t even grant me this simple request?’
Oh, sorry. Mistake.
It’s not that you don’t listen, it’s that you couldn’t listen, right?
I am sorry.
I guess I overestimated her grandmother.
“…… Argh!”
Even though it’s just my imagination, it’s so needlessly precise that I feel like I’m about to burst into anger.
Cecil, brushing her long hair behind her ear and talking like that with an extremely arrogant expression on her face.
“I would rather tear out my own eyes than see something like that with my own eyes!”
I can assure you, ‘Mother, it’s all over anyway. There is clearly something worse to see than that damn Erman who says, ‘Everything goes according to plan, blah, blah, blah.’
-Then if my sister doesn’t come… It will work!
“…… “What!”
And at Lionelta’s seizure, Tanahil sharply twisted its huge body as if it had been waiting and opened its mouth in Lionelta’s direction.
Oops! Breath!
She doesn’t know how many times she’s been there today. Feeling the strong urge to hit her head for her boner, Lionel hurriedly covers her entire body with her three pairs of large wings. Wrapped.
Bloody enemy─
Aiming for that momentary gap where vision is obscured, small cracks that have begun to take root in the air spread out, targeting the angel’s body itself.
Most of the cracks dissolved and disappeared in the pale glow emanating from the angel’s body, but some of them were rooted to Lionelta’s wings and shattered the wings themselves.
“Ugh!”
This… Real danger─
Two of the three pairs of wings turn into sparkling powder with a crackling sound, like pieces of glass.
Soon, the sight reflected in the angel’s eyes.
-With this, I can avoid seeing your face for a while! Lionelta!
It was a dark red breath gushing out like a tidal wave from within Tanahil’s wide open maw.
“…… “Ugh!”
If you hit that straight, your body won’t be able to withstand it……
……
……
…… Hmm?
If you are hit by the breath of a demonic dragon that is hotter than boiling lava and even poisonous with a mixture of demonic energy, no matter how much you call it an angel of death, you will not be able to overcome it.
That’s why I prepared for the shock by showing the shameful act of closing my eyes during the battle…….
10 Seconds passed, 20 seconds passed.
Even after 30 seconds have passed.
There is no feeling in the body.
Could it be that Arn Hill did something again and her entire body melted?
But that doesn’t mean it’s the eyelids or the feel of the dress on your body. The texture, which cannot be felt with a melted body, is so clear.
“…… “Uh, um?”
When I slowly opened my ungainly closed eyes, I saw the image of Tanahil with his vicious jaw wide open, just like before.
However, there was just one difference from before.
-Ker, gag. Wow.
The dragon’s throat, where breath should originally come out.
In the middle of it all, there is a large harpoon that shines brightly in gold.
───Tooong!
It was so fast that it pierced my throat, and only later did I feel something passing by and a sound as if something was being plucked penetrated my ears.
I slowly turned my head and looked to the side, and just like the harpoon that pierced Tanahil’s throat, I saw an iron chain dyed in a clear golden light even though it was dawn.
After looking at Tanahil for a moment, whose throat was pierced right in front of the huge crack, he looked like a goby struggling in the air.
It hangs on the harpoon’s tail and turns its gaze towards the ground, following the chain that flew together.
The end of the chain, which stretched out as if it had no end, was touching the halfway point of an unknown mountain.
The distance was too far, so I narrowed my eyes and looked at it a little more closely, and now it seemed so familiar.
The sight of a man with long blonde hair neatly tied back caught my eye.
─… ….
It may be difficult to see because it is covered by clouds, but he manages to bow very neatly towards the angel who is looking at him.
“…… Ha, I am indeed.”
Is this intentional? Or maybe it was unintentional.
This is truly a man who appears at perfect timing.
Really… ….
“Because it is like this.”
Cecil, trapped in the treadmill of time by Arnhil, will be weathered, weathered, and weathered by eternity.
The reason why I never give up.
I think I understand that feeling.
“Women are going crazy.”
Lionel Ta shook her head, laughing at her own nonsense that unconsciously slipped out between her gently parted lips.
I was afraid that if I looked at it any longer, I would feel really embarrassed.
