Bijo to Kenja to Majin no Ken

022 engraving

Only the occasion seemed to slow down the time.

Clive, who stood up and defended Sylvia, slowly collapsed to the ground.

Clive's fall to the floor (uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-

He breaks through steel armor (plate armor) and deals deep damage directly to Clive's body.

"- Oh, no..."

Sylvia can't hide her confusion from what happened in front of her.

Grace, confronted by Kurt, looked back for a moment, but immediately turned her gaze back forward.

Release a few wind blades (windcutters) onto the Kurt and restrain them so that the attack is not directed at Sylvia.

I watched Clive fall apart, like time had stopped.

I can't calm down so I can cook chili in my head.

I get chills running all over my body and my breathing gets rough.

"Kay, it's not over yet!!

Grace's voice was ringing.

I return to me once and for all with that voice.

The thought spinned rapidly, and the thought pushed and killed the boiling emotions, poking and moving my body.

I'm worried about Clive, but my “best choice” isn't to stop here.

There's still something I can do.

I must defeat the enemy in front of me!

I was attacked with a loud voice by a lost weapon and my left hand.

The blow of Thunder Emperor's Axe (Siebert) blew lightly, Gino's remaining right arm.

I go on to wield the Ice Emperor's sword (viola) and cut it down into pieces.

Gino, who had no way of avoiding the attack, took that direct hit.

Gino's body freezes rapidly with the magic of the Ice Emperor's sword (viola), from shoulder to foot.

I put a glance of magic into Thunder Emperor's Axe (Siebert) and unleashed a poke at the Gino.

Its magic, amplified to swell, becomes the advanced magic thunderbolt (Treno) of the wind attribute, piercing the zino at once and shattering the body that was frozen.

Just like when you look at Rodney, Gino's HP was close to zero at an amazing speed.

Nonetheless, Gino, who kept grinning creepily, vanished while leaving me with a bad aftertaste of leftovers.

When I identified the vanishing of the Gino, I jumped to the vicinity of Clive and used the Great Heal (Elder Heel).

On Clive's side (buckwheat) is Sylvia accompanied on her knees.

In desperate circumstances, her lips were trembling in small pieces.

"Clive -"

I called out, but Clive no longer seemed able to raise his voice.

Clive spits a lot of blood out of his mouth so that he coughs in instead.

I went on to use the Great Heal (Elder Heel) twice.

The moment I hang the magic, my HP holds it back, but soon afterwards my HP drops faster than that.

Moreover, the speed is accelerating gradually.

When I checked Clive's condition (status), he was "bleeding: large".

My healing magic is that my HP can heal, but I can't undo the blood I lost.

Looking around, she is dyed red with spilled bleeding.

It's bright red to Sylvia's hands and feet.

- It's no longer just a matter of time.

That's when I heard you calling my name.

It takes a little time to recognize Clive's voice.

Clive told me if my lungs had been hurt or if I had been brutally plundered.

"Kaisa - Enemy - Defeat -"

That said, she coughed and vomited blood again.

Sylvia grabs that hand and screams, but Clive didn't already have the power to hold her hand back.

At this time, I was able to continue to use the Great Heal (Elder Heel) until my SP ran out if I wanted to.

With the Thunder Emperor's Axe (Siebert) and the Ice Emperor's Sword (Viola) in his hand, he couldn't keep chanting for much longer, but he would have been able to extend the time left for Clive, even for a second.

But I didn't.

Because Clive's words were bringing intense restraint and impulse to my thinking.

- Better than that, defeat the enemy -.

Leaving Clive with no time left, I got up.

Walk out near Grace with a clear will.

When I looked at Kurt, it was Grace's magic, it was restrained and barely (mostly) moved from the spot.

Somehow, I feel like I've been waiting for you to see me.

When Kurt admitted to me, he called out.

"Have we broken up yet?

Kurt knows Clive won't be able to help anymore.

- No, not yet.

I answered it face to face.

"- I'll wait for you. You should call me."

I thought this guy might have this kind of humanities and aesthetics.

"You don't have to."

――――

Kurt openly gives me an uncomfortable expression when he refuses his aesthetic.

"Because goodbye to you is first.

Your buddy (Gino) passed away first. Now it's your turn. "

Kurt laughed loudly when he heard me speak.

"- You seem to be making a mistake.

We demons don't fight together.

In the first place, Gino has the purpose and the territory of Gino, and I have my purpose.

- And my purpose is already “accomplished".

There's no use here anymore. "

"- You think we'll let him get away with it?

"I'm not running away. We have to move for the next purpose.

- I head to Ansel, the king's capital of this country (Harland).

If you want to go after him, come after him. "

The moment the name of Wang Du (Ansel) came out, it looked like Grace had reacted to it.

"What are you doing in Ansel?

Kurt didn't answer that, and, just like one day, he gave a crippling laugh.

That's when the magical rock rain poured down toward Kurt.

Kurt retreats carefully and avoids it with a wind barrier (wind barrier).

"- You think I'm gonna let you go?

Soon, Sylvia stood next to me.

Sylvia unleashes multiple rock bullets (rock balls) toward Kurt.

Kurt shot off a rock bullet (rock ball) with a wind blade (windcutter) on the May fly.

Shortly after, Sylvia released a flame bullet (flame ball) under Kurt's feet.

Kurt turns it off with a water wall.

"Come on, the extent is useless -!"

When Kurt tried to tell Sylvia that,

Sylvia released a dirt gun (drake gun) directly in front of Kurt.

Kurt tried to prevent it also with a wind barrier (wind barrier).

However, Sylvia's dirt gun (drake gun) had been sucked into a pocky empty “hole” in the space before touching the wind barrier (wind barrier).

――

The next moment, the sight I see is of Kurt with a big wound to his right upper arm.

Kurt took a few steps back to collapse as he pressed his left hand against his right arm, which scattered blue and black blood.

"You - space magic!

Where Kurt retreated, the tip of the dirt gun (drake gun) was unnaturally protruding from a space of nothing.

Sylvia attacked by combining space magic and dirt guns (drake guns) to transfer objects.

As Kurt retreated a few more steps, he looked at Sylvia with an angry expression and a niggling smile.

"The woman there...

It's called the use of advanced magic, let's say the best wizard (soothsarah), at least among the humans I've ever seen.

Unfortunately, we're running out of time here, but I'm looking forward to seeing you next time. "

Kurt says so, trying to go into the “hole” of space, which appeared behind him.

Sylvia rushes to launch an attack, but I took control of it.

After Kurt leaves the “hole” in the space, there is silence around him.

"- Clive!!

It was Sylvia's voice that broke the silence.

Me, Grace, and Sylvia gather together at the clive where I lay.

Clive has already run out of time.

Sylvia gets zero (spilled) tears from her eyes, breaks her knee (knee), and gets gagged and drooped.

"Clive - are you sure you're good at putting up your body (from) for me or something?

There is no longer a voice to answer that question.

Clive followed his own vows and protected his people - that's all.

I laid my hands gently on her shoulder like I cared for Sylvia.

Sylvia lay her own hand on my hand, letting her body tremble (flutter) forever, and kept whimpering (snapping).

Sylvia then took Clive's armor off and poured it on her porch, placing the body on a daze.

The dead in the labyrinth (dungeons) often seem to be left intact, but that's just not sneaky.

Seeing Sylvia disarm Clive and silently continue to work faintly, I felt a deep wound (trauma) in my heart.

If I'd prevented the Gino attack, Clive wouldn't have to die.

If I could use better healing magic, Clive wouldn't have to die.

- Everything was just a hypothetical world.

If I want to avoid regret in the future, I will be strong myself.

As Clive's relic, I gave Sylvia the “watch” I had taken.

"- If Clive has survivors, will you give them to me?

Sylvia laughed a little lonely as she received it.

"Unfortunately, Clive and I don't have any relatives.

So there's no need to tell anyone.

- "An adventurer is such a thing."

The story "Sylvia is from a pretty good house" reflexed in my brain, but I don't think it's a place to pry.

"Okay. Then I hope Sylvia keeps this watch."

"-Okay."

To my offer, Sylvia replied as if she had decided something.

The clock Clive received by Sylvia continues to mark the hour with magical force.

I thought that when I struggled to get tied up, if the time went any faster -

I thought that when Clive was fatally injured, if the time stops at all -

Whatever convenient hope (selfishness) I say, “time” ends up being engraved on an equal footing for everyone.

Clive's time has stopped.

However, his watch continued to brutally "beat" new times for everyone, including the original owner (Clive).

The next day after returning to the inn, Grace and I made our journey in the morning.

There was a choice between believing Kurt's statement or not, but at least we didn't have a choice but to go from the port town (Ashbell) to the Wang capital (Ansel).

Me and Grace, quietly check the schedule and leave the inn.

"- You guys aren't trying to shut up, are you?

Shortly after leaving the inn, me and Grace looked at each other in the voice of taming (nagging) thrown at us.

Currently, Sylvia is always dressed in a black robe with a hat and smiles well.

I asked Sylvia.

"There is, naturally, danger ahead.

- Can you tell me why Sylvia would go on and throw herself in danger?

When she heard it, she grinned.

"- Kay, I got a reason to go after him.

I made up my mind when I received Clive's watch.

I will follow him to Ansel, the king.

And let him take it down.
