128 – shake

“Keuk.. uh..”
A cold sweat fell to the ground with a groan that could not be expressed in words. The expression he makes up, who does not easily express his pain, makes the three of them gloomy. But that didn’t mean I couldn’t turn a blind eye to reality and care for him like I always did.
Ryan hurriedly placed his hand on his body. Despite imbuing him with his own holy power, Ron’s condition showed no signs of improving. As if it had gotten worse, he was crouching down even more while making a groaning sound. As if the demons were reacting.
“This..”
The worst possibility has risen. What if he has something to do with the devil?
It would be difficult to maintain self-will as long as they joined hands with the devil, and if they went to a place where people gathered to avoid their surveillance, a great loss of life could have occurred.
Originally, as long as he joined hands with the devil, how should he use his tricks?
However, the mindset of a hero who was influenced by Rain and now has faded significantly… Is it necessary to follow it? The Demon King was eliminated and the remnants were dealt with. Originally, I was going to retire, but I’m moving like this again to break down a small dimension that summons demons. Wouldn’t it be enough to act according to personal desires now?
The scales in their hearts begin to tip.
The scales on which his existence is placed on one side and the peace of the continent is placed on the other.
The corrupt academy, the new cadets with insufficient skills, as well as the continent’s strongest 7 stars, were the same shape. If he and his colleagues let go of everything, can peace on the continent be maintained?
If it were you, what decision would you have made? If I sold my soul to the devil and you had to make a choice, what would you do?
I can’t help but think of something No matter which way I thought about it, everything seemed right.
“theory.”
Calling him who didn’t answer, Lane closed her eyes for a long time and then opened them.
She picked up a twig that had fallen to the floor. It was a branch of ambiguous length and thickness to be used as a weapon, slightly longer than the length of her hair.
However, as if he didn’t care about the weapon, Rain held it tightly and developed his holy power and magical power.
An ordinary tree branch that can be seen everywhere begins to take on the shape of a sword. A translucent sword with blades on both sides, one side made of magical power and the other side made of holy power. Mana and holy power were circulating so quickly that it tore everything to pieces.
A fluttering leaf touched its blade. At the same time, the leaves were shredded silently and scattered around like dust.
“wait a munite.”
Still he didn’t answer. As if resisting something with his head drooping, or as if his mind had already collapsed, he only occasionally trembled with his fingertips.
“Did you say Ereon?”
“..Do not come.”
Eron stared at Lane’s cold gaze as he tried to kill him and began to squeeze Ron’s neck tightly. But even that resistance was short-lived.
puck-!
“Kyaaak!!”
Kicking without mercy. An expression of emotion close to resentment.
Ereon, who allowed the iron-clad kick to the abdomen, fell out. I couldn’t catch him even if I tried to take him hostage.
I couldn’t die because of holy power. First of all, somehow…
Rain’s weapon danced like a shooting star drawing a trajectory. Even in the middle of the day, the sword blades united by her energy were shining brilliantly.
It emits a beautiful light that catches the eye and falls aiming at Ereon’s head.
Ereon squeezed all his strength and avoided it with a narrow car. I didn’t completely avoid it, so I gave it to the shoulder.
“—!!”
A screeching sound like scraping iron leaked through her teeth. It would have been better if he had died of blood loss, but due to his holy power, he stopped bleeding as soon as his flesh was ripe and cut.
Only then did Ereon properly perceive the situation. Belief in oneself and actual ability were not directly proportional.
Intoxicated with the confidence that comes from having good information and the future of blowing the magic that Al Sola poured his all into, he made a huge mistake. He thought that even if he exposed his body, he could easily drive them to the edge of the cliff.
It wasn’t.
They were strong enough to subdue themselves single-handedly.
Eron raised his head. The figure of Rain Guard-on looking down at himself and slowly raising a sword made of tree branches.
She was momentarily confused about the current situation. The place is not in the middle of the forest, but the devil’s castle, in front of him is the first warrior preparing for the final blow, what he is holding is not a tree branch, but a holy sword bestowed by God’s revelation, he is the devil who will be stabbed in the heart by her and completely disappear from the world. .
─No. can’t die My purpose is not like this.
Solar..! Even if I die, Solar, you have to kill me. No lane guard-on. Not even Rihanna Serwin. only you only you me
‘Any last words?’ It seemed that he had no intention of listening to the lion’s last words.
no. Never..!!
As if holding on to the last rope, Ereon let out the secret he found out.
“That human! Ron! Do you know why he harms himself? I know!”
The tip of her sword trembled.
“Because there’s a reason you guys who aren’t demons will never understand…! If you kill me, you’ll definitely regret it…!”
“Lian. Please.”
“Ah.. yes..”
Lian locked her up. A protective shield made of holy power. It was a space that made me feel bad just sitting still.
In the space where you can’t escape even if you try to run away, Lane pointed a weapon at her neck and said.
“Tell me.”
It was a threat, not a request. And the current Ereon had no way to escape from this shield and the weapon of the Rain Guard.
Therefore, in the current situation, it is the best weapon you have. You have to use it.
‘Roll your head as much as you can. Enough to distract these b*tches..’
“Lane guard on. It’s because of you. If it wasn’t for you, that man wouldn’t have become like that.”
“That’s a poor guess. It’s not worth listening to anymore.”
Recalling the memory of reading his past, he exclaimed at the same time. The words that I couldn’t get out of my head once started pouring out.
“If you had received that curse instead, this wouldn’t have happened! Because of you, the two curses kept coexisting in my body! It didn’t even disappear! They kept eating away at my mind and eating away at my body! !Because you could have gotten rid of that curse!”
“..what?”
“Don’t listen too much. You can’t even check what he’s saying. So…”
“Saintess, you are the same. How well do you know about curses? You’re not even a demon. Get rid of them completely? f*ck the bullshit! All the curses you thought you got rid of remained inside that body!”
“..what..”
Certainly, Lian knew better than ordinary people, but there is a difference in knowledge between humans and demons. No matter how much Lian was fluent in curses, he couldn’t keep up with the devil’s knowledge. Most of the devil worshipers who gave everything to the devil were not sure about curses and demons.
“Don’t lie. You know what you’re trying to do to get out of here?”
“It’s a lie? Ha ha… Ha ha ha!! Show me? Shall I play with it properly? Then will you believe it?”
“..just touch it.”
“Ahahahaha! It’s scary. It’s so scary! Yes, he will believe what he wants to believe. He always thought it was the right choice. I’ve looked through his memory, and I know what he was thinking. Rain Guard On!”
She was about to clench her teeth and swing her weapon to slit her throat.
“I thought I had proved my worth by being able to protect you. So, what did you come back to that man who gave his whole body to save you?”
The past flashed through her head at her words. In my heart, I was chanting thanks, but what came out of my mouth was a short thank you. It’s like a memory passing by like this.
As if possessed, Lane’s arm dropped down.
“End with a word of thanks. There was only one thing that man really wanted. A word of acknowledgment, like ‘I’m glad you’re here.’ And you guys never said that.”
“No. I always…”
“Inwardly! Yes! Inwardly! That’s why it became a problem. If you guys had said even one word, this wouldn’t have happened. What else did you do there? You’re already in a complicated situation, but you even confessed as if pouring oil on it. In a situation where you are not recognized as a colleague, do you acknowledge him as a man? Tell him not to talk bullshit.
Lian, who saw that Lane’s arm was weak, strengthened his will again and approached Eron to finish it himself.
Ereon sat down and looked up at her, but his expression was ferocious as if he were going to bite her.
“Saint. Lian. Lian Serwin..!! The same goes for you. That’s the result of your choice with all your strength. Can you see it? It’s hard and painful! If you didn’t just say that you completely healed it there, I would have seen even the slightest possibility. It wouldn’t have happened like this!”
Magi eats people’s hearts.
It begins to gnaw away at their will, with a sense of rejection in both body and mind, like when a non-smoker forcibly inhales tobacco smoke.
Because they are human, they cannot get used to demonic energy. Having lived on a continent where there was no magic, the resistance of the magic that was there was noticeably reduced.
At this moment, the demonic air filled up in the air circulates through their bodies and begins to touch their will and thoughts.
“no.”
denial.
“Lian Serwin. In the end, you were the biggest problem. Because of you, that man became so dangerous.”
“No. No. Don’t say anything recklessly. If you don’t want to live locked up forever without being able to move…!”
anger.
“Isn’t it..? It’s not. You said it was okay for me, right? I worked hard. All I can do is…”
compromise.
I asked Ron, but he couldn’t get an answer. Because he was fighting alone right now.
Lian, who had finished all the emotional changes, sat down in his seat with his mouth shut.
It was like a lamb possessed by the devil’s voice.
