134. lie
lie.
Amelia-sama lied to Rebecca.
I didn’t know why in detail, but her eyes said a lot.
“…You know what? Amelia?”
Rebecca gripped her sword.
“That I hated you from the beginning?”
Only one corner of Amelia-sama’s mouth went up.
“Do I have to tell you that? I knew that much from the beginning.”
Magical power began to condense in Amelia-sama’s fingers again.
“I’ll give you a chance thinking of my old friendship. If you hand over the dragon heart right here and go, I’ll give you a chance to live.”
Little by little, the ceiling started to collapse.
I had a hunch that there was not much time left to escape safely.
“…Don’t be ridiculous.”
A red aura rose from Rebecca’s sword, stronger than when facing the evil dragon.
“I really hated you, but I still considered you a colleague.”
“We crossed the line a few times together.”
“And you. You even saved us.”
Amelia-sama flinched at Rebecca’s words and shook her shoulders.
“At that time. In front of Lake Duyan. It was you who saved us from the demons. Did you think I wouldn’t know?”
The two men stanced with the intention of facing each other at any moment, but never attacked first.
“Tell me it wasn’t me.”
“Don’t be ridiculous! I thought it was suspicious even then, but the truth has already been revealed.”
cried Rebecca, interrupting her in a voice of resentment.
“If you’re going to kill us anyway, there were plenty of opportunities, but why did you hide it until now?”
Amelia-sama, who had closed her eyes for a moment, looked at me once more.
“Watching the people’s banquet. More than that. Nothing less. Was that what you were curious about?”
“How fun it would be to steal the hero’s lover. I was playing around with Luke.”
“The look on your face as you watched me kiss Luke from behind was spectacular.”
Amelia-sama’s tone was very cynical.
But I knew
These are all outright lies.
Amelia-sama truly loved Luke.
She was doing her best for Luke now.
“…That means you were playing with Luke’s heart?”
Rebecca’s voice began to tremble.
“Even if Luke chose you, I could have accepted…”
“That’s because I thought you were a strong and beautiful person.”
She could feel her shock slowly transforming into anger.
“But if all that you showed Luke was just a prank to get me into trouble…”
A wind began to blow around Rebecca.
“I can’t forgive you. You dog-like demon b*tch.”
After swearing at Amelia, Rebecca turned her back to look at me.
“…Luke.”
It was me who stood still without saying anything in a series of shocking scenes.
“huh.”
“I’m only going to ask you once. You have to tell me clearly.”
I nodded slowly.
“Is it okay if I kill Amelia right here and now?”
…killing Amelia-sama?
From nob le mt l. co m
Knowing the future, I knew she would never die here.
But I couldn’t figure out what Luke’s answer was.
What did the teacher think of Amelia-sama?
When I went back, there were a lot of things I wanted to ask.
When he looked at me and said that I looked like him when I was younger, it wasn’t just what he said.
Not only in appearance, but also in all the situations I’ve been through, I was very similar to Luke.
But that wasn’t the point.
I had to come up with an answer to that question right now.
If Rebecca seriously attacks her with the intent to kill her, will Amelia-sama be safe?
I confirmed with my own eyes that both of them were incredibly strong.
The sight of Amelia subduing the dragon was truly awe-inspiring.
However, it occurred to me that Rebecca could have been defeated by herself.
“…Can’t you make up your mind?”
As I continued to wait without answering, Rebecca asked one more time.
But again, it was none other than Amelia-sama who answered instead of me who was in trouble.
“…Rebecca. Whether you mean it or not, you lose to me.”
Amelia-sama’s red eyes were full of arrogance.
The eyes of a typical demon looking down at a human.
“The only person you’ve seen so far is me who only uses mana.”
Unfathomable depths of black magic began to swirl around Amelia-sama.
“It’s incomparably weak compared to the current point where you can use magic power.”
Having gone through the same experience, I couldn’t help but strongly sympathize with her words.
The difference between when I put the ring on and when I took it off was terrifying.
“There’s no odds. Just give up on this test. Rebecca. Luke.”
“You will die, Amelia.”
There was no longer any hesitation in Rebecca’s words.
Her red hair started blowing in the wind.
“I have to cut the head of the demon king, so I won’t lose face if I can’t catch you alone.”
“You mean you have to see the blood.”
Amelia-sama let out a deep sigh.
“Don’t forget that I definitely gave you a chance.”
Soon, a battle between the two began.
Rebecca’s sword collided with Amelia’s magic, further accelerating the collapse of the cave.
Every time Amelia-sama beckoned, the spear of dark red magic aimed at Rebecca’s heart at terrifying speed.
But Rebecca didn’t back down.
As if expressing her will to overcome all the trials given to her, Rebecca looked straight ahead and slashed the spear with a red aura.
However, Amelia-sama’s magic did not end there.
The ground Rebecca was stepping on began to collapse, and waves of lava were about to swallow her at the bottom.
“Kuu…!”
Unable to stand up any longer, Rebecca leaped into the air with all her might.
Although she hadn’t mastered the magic of levitation, she was able to gain enough height for safety with sheer leg strength.
A floor filled with lava. Collapsing ceiling.
In this situation reminiscent of the end of the world, the two stared at each other without saying anything.
“…How could you act so brazenly?”
Rebecca opened her mouth.
“Asmodians you killed with your own hands. I’ve seen dozens of them.”
“Do you even remember the number of ants you stepped on?”
There was no expression on Amelia-sama’s face.
“I told you. All of this is my plan to stop you. Are you saying there are still so many things I’m curious about and want to confirm?”
“Amelia!!”
Rebecca let out an angry cry.
“It’s pitiful for me to think of you as a competitor even for a moment! You’re just a pawn of the demon king who deserves to die.”
That was the moment.
Bartina, whom she thought she had defeated, covered the cave with a roar mixed with anger.
[I can’t forgive you! I can’t forgive you!!!]
The confrontation between the two, who seemed like they would kill each other at any moment, ended there.
[I’m going to die from the human scumbag sent by Deoric and the demon king’s old man? There can be no such thing!]
Another mana sphere began to form in Bartina’s mouth.
But… it was on a different level from what I was doing to block Amelia-sama’s column a while ago.
Dangerous.
The moment it exploded in this not wide space, we all died and it was no different from our lives.
[Theoric. I won’t let it go your way. No one here can survive!]
As soon as Amelia-sama saw that figure, she reached out her hand toward Bartina.
A cube of thick shield that seemed to be able to block any attack wrapped around her body.
[Khahahahaha! What a ridiculous defense! Enough to block an attack with my life force as collateral.]
[but. What about the other two?]
Bartina’s blue eyes turned toward me.
I remembered what Luke asked me to do.
-Do not die.-
…Sir, I possessed your body and ended up dying.
I couldn’t think of a way to survive that sphere right now.
It was not even possible to escape.
[Know it an honor to die to me. Bug guys.]
“no!”
Rebecca screamed and started running toward me, but Bartina’s attack hit me first.
There was no means to neutralize the attack containing the dragon’s life force.
I closed my eyes tightly.
How the hell did you get out of here? Luke.
That moment when you intuit death without fail.
I heard Amelia-sama’s voice right in front of my nose.
“Quickly use your own magic! Luke!”
When I opened my eyes, I saw Amelia-sama in front of me, bleeding with her entire body to block the shock.
what is that. how do you write
I didn’t know anything, but the thought that I had to do something ran through my head.
Concentrating my mind, I slowly concentrated my mana in the same way as when I used my own magic.
Rebecca too. Amelia-sama also said that she believes in Luke’s unique magic in times of crisis, so I’m sure it will work out somehow.
And the moment I poured all my mana into it.
The world has turned black and white.
Intense Bartina’s shockwave.
Rebecca, who is barely blocking it, too.
In the world reflected in my eyes right now, only me and Amelia are breathing in a state of full color. It was just two people.
“…are you okay?”
Amelia-sama caressed my cheek as her blood-stained hands trembled.
