111. “Because I will protect you.” [ 3 ]
111.
“So, take that hand off the driver right now.”
As soon as she finished her words, Leternia immediately turned her head to her saintess. However, she couldn’t see the saintess’ full appearance.
Because the little palm of the saintess was right on the cheek of her illusory demon god.
With her palms exploding, Leternia’s head turned to the other side in an instant.
” ──────────── ! “
A shrill scream echoed over the stairwell of the folded space. Zer Pied, who was blocking the arrows of flame with his body, heard the sound and jerked her head up. Bazarak was not moving. Not only that, but the other gods who were staring at him with a murderous spirit. But that wasn’t what Death Knight paid attention to.
Leternia, who was leisurely sitting on her throne, stood and stumbled, holding her head in her hands. Confused by the sudden situation, Zerfied, who was watching it, felt a wriggling movement inside his arms.
He muttered a name involuntarily.
“…… Ecilia.”
“Haa… ! Ha…… !”
Shortly, a rough breath jumped out from the inside of his chest. The saintess of innocence let out her breath and slowly, tremblingly opened her closed eyes. Tears trickled down from the cracks in her open eyes. Her own tears, and the brilliant golden light that emanated from her huge hallway, spread through her tears and made it difficult to identify them properly, but her saintess could definitely recognize one thing.
“…… Knight.”
It was her escort knight. She, the saintess, could not stand her laughter. As her tears wet both her cheeks, her smiling saintly figure looked quite comical. But even her tears couldn’t stop her saintly laughter. She smiled as much as a saint could.
“…… Knight.”
Zerpied, who had been dazed at the words she barely spoke, came to his senses. Death Knight hurriedly threw a question.
“Ecilia, are you okay?”
The saintess nodded her head. Her words didn’t come out right. Only emotions that were so overwhelming kept coming out again and again. The saintess nodded her head again with all her might, held by her Death Knight. Seeing her nod, the Death Knight hugged her saintess even more strongly.
In the arms of the death knight, the crying voice of her saintess came out intermittently.
“Sorry… do… …. Having said that…….”
At her words, the Death Knight shook her head.
“It’s okay. More than that, are you okay?”
The saintess did not nod her head this time. Instead, she gave an even bigger smile. Seeing her teary laugh, the Death Knight glanced back. Checking her rear, he immediately moved his body and retreated toward it. The Death Knight, who laid her saint on one of her pillars, whispered in her ear.
“Esilia.”
The saintess nearly collapsed in an instant. It was partly because her strength was drained from her body, but the low voice of her Death Knight flowing into her ears came as a considerable shock to her. Her body hummed in shock, and she gasped for breath. But she could barely answer.
“…… Yes.”
After hearing her answer, the Death Knight gave her something of her own. The cold feeling of her own hands startled her, but she found her comfort in it. For her death knight’s gauntlet held her own hand. But soon the gauntlet let go of her hand. However, the cold still remained in her hands. The saintess liked the coolness of it.
It was Meng Gauche that the Death Knight put into the hands of her saintess. She hugged the mangoshu tightly.
“Esilia.”
In her own name, her saintess raised her head. The Death Knight’s bloody eyes and the saintess’ red and blue eyes intertwined in the air.
“Go, come.”
At the words of her saintess, which was transmitted while laughing, the Death Knight nodded her head proudly. That was enough for her. At least for now, no further words were needed between the two.
Blood dripped from the Death Knight’s eyes. The Death Knight raised her own shield. The Death Knight pointed her own spear in front of her. The rider of the headless horse began galloping through the corridors of the palace of the gods.
Towards the location of his lady’s enemies.
Leternia managed to hold onto the arms of her throne to support her body, which was about to fall. Leternia put her trembling palm to her cheek. It’s embarrassing, but I felt like I could feel the tingling. She blinked her eyes slowly. She couldn’t understand what had just happened.
‘…… You said you were banished? I?’
The demon had to reconsider that fact once again.
‘You mean I was banished?’
The demon raised his head with difficulty and looked around. That’s why she couldn’t accept that fact any more. Her place was still in the middle of the palace. It was vividly felt that the magi that the palace was holding shuddered at the slightest gesture of hers. More than ever, her magic was unstoppable like a raging wave.
By the way, I was banished. It was barely able to take over the consciousness of a single human being. Even though that method was her first attempt at ‘complete descent’, she had to bounce helplessly without taking any action. And that too, in the middle of the Tenma War, where her ability is strongest.
That fact made only one piece of information clear.
That the mental strength of that child with her name, Esilia, is strong enough to defeat her.
Leternia, at that nonsense fact, she seemed to get goosebumps. No matter how much she is a demon, she is said to be the first child of the Holy Spirit, who is the opposite of her and her nature, but this was the palace where she and the other demons who were her clan lived. A stage made exclusively for the Demon God. In such a place, she was helplessly exiled, unable to do anything.
‘…… !’
But Leternia couldn’t hold on to that idea any longer. A low voice echoed through the hallways of the vast palace. In the distance, the Death Knight was advancing, driving her headless horse. Partizan’s blue blade was directed at her. She waved her hand hastily. The drooping demons began to pull tight again.
Bazarak, made up of illusions, drew a sword made of flame from its arm. Along with that action, the statue of the Demon God who was glaring at the Death Knight from the second tier immediately began to move. The demon flapped its wings made of lightning.
It was the statue of Lukast, the demon of lightning.
Lukast flew to the right of the Death Knight and spread its huge wings wide. Lightning fluctuates from the spread wings. The lightnings, which were oscillating and extending randomly, began to form several shapes.
JavelinJavelin.
Javelins made of pure lightning aimed at the Death Knight. There is no need to implement detailed parts such as handles, handles, or blades. Every part made of lightning is a blade. A total of nine javelins were aiming at the Death Knight.
Death Knight carefully examined the situation. To his left, the statue of Bazaarak was preparing to attack him with a bastard sword made of flame, while on the right, a javelin of lightning was taut, as if Lukast’s slight movement would shoot him straight away.
The scene in which the 10 cubit statues of gods come to life and express surrealistic appearances seemed to make anyone stunned.
However, the Death Knight did not stop her sprint. Rather, as if there were no statues of the two demons, he immediately fixed her gaze on Leternia, and then drove the headless horse at the same speed as it was running without even giving her a glance.
The galloping sound of ultramarine blue horses fills the space in a crude way.
Bypassing through that gap, the sword of Bazaarak, the Demon of Crimson Flames, rushed towards the Blue Knight of Death. Huge flames flicked his tongue at random, trying to devour him. At the same time, his lightning wings flapped once.
Nine javelins clamored to put their teeth into the Death Knight’s neck at once.
Sparks and lightning. Two flickering lights surge at the same time. The corridor of the altar is filled with red and blue colors. Paradoxically, because of the light, nothing was visible in the hallway.
Except for one thing.
In the middle of the flickering light, it existed alone as darkness.
The saintess, hidden behind her pillar, seemed as if the red and blue lights couldn’t reach her because of the darkness in the middle of the light. As if she just doesn’t get the light there.
After staring at the place for a few seconds, unable to breathe, the saintess realized what was going on.
In the air, with his arms crossed, the Death Knight blocked Bazaarak’s sword with his Partizan, and blocked nine thunderbolt javelins with his kite shield. It was as if it were frozen in midair. Because the Death Knight was still in the blocked position.
At that moment, the light broke out. The only thing that leisurely revealed its presence in the space was darkness.
Leternia looked at the scene with her mouth open, not even thinking about moving.
The Partizan raised by the Death Knight immediately became a flame. The sword of flame wrapped around the Partizan was now aiming for Lucast’s neck.
The kite shield wielded by Death Knight soon became lightning. The spears of thunderbolt that flowed along the surface of the kite shield were aiming for the heart of Bazarak.
The two bounced lights collided.
Blue light pierced the heart of the Crimson Demon God, and red light penetrated the neck of the Thunderbolt Demon God.
After seeing the red and blue lights crumble, Leternia finally regained her senses.
Death Knight, Zerpied Rim Sedbaigal was advancing towards him.
The Demon God of Dream immediately pulled the demon. Just before, he could only move one demon statue at a time to occupy the mind of Renaire’s first child, but there was no need to do that now. No that didn’t work Because her living death is aiming at her. Leternia almost screamed at the virtual gods.
“Get rid of it – !”
Dozens of demon statues rushed at the Death Knight.
