Do You Think Someone Like You Can Defeat the Demon King?

Mutes that have been transformed into aliens can roar.

Listening to that noise, which was high, Linus' vision was distorted.

"Connect."

"In one"

"You're me, I'm you"

"Don't fight."

"Your sin is life"

"Dedicate."

"Dedicate."

"Dedicate."

"Wherever it should be..."

In moments of loose consciousness (...), deafening noise pours in to fill the brain.

"Ha... ahhhhh!

Linus cried out in agony as he held his head down and knelt down.

They take it.

I, as part of something other than myself, get dragged in.

That's definitely the power of it (...) to sound in front of you.

Fight.

No - I tell myself to "resist," Linus stomps.

Still, even with as strong a will as he is, the will of the monster prevails.

Keep your hands off me, what you're waiting for is death.

Or a more miserable and cruel end than death.

Not yet, not yet (...), I didn't mean to risk my life.

Because he had something to do.

I have to pay for the darkness that remains in her - Maria.

"Maria... honey...!

I think of my beloved.

Then, as soon as possible, the murmur filled his brain and tried to dissipate his consciousness weakened.

"Whoa, whoa... Whoa, whoa, whoa!

When you pull the dagger out of your hips, Linus sticks it into the mute.

Her releasing power becomes stronger as she approaches.

But at least while I was thinking about Maria, his will never pushed him down.

"Ohhhhhhhhhh!

He thrusts to boast of his existence and sticks a blade at the mute.

Doh - but its cutting-edge stopped at its surface without sinking into twisted red muscles.

Linus' dagger is made of quality legends and precious metals.

Cut enough to cut the thick scales of the monster like butter, if combined with his skill.

Mute's skin accepts it easily.

It's not hard.

The feeling transmitted to the palm of my hand is soft, but for some reason I don't move on from there.

But the moment the attack hit, the mute scream stopped and the encroachment on his brain subsided.

The facial area points toward Linus.

"Ohh...... o?

She showed the trick of leaning her neck.

It's as if, for the first time, you've noticed his presence.

And when mutts put their hands together - something blocks the sunlight, and even the dark alleys are filled with shadows.

Linus, who looked up slightly, saw a huge mass of rock floating there.

"Dude... are you insane, we're in the middle of town!?

That has nothing to do with Origin.

Instead - if you take them who wipe out all their lives and seek “peace” in a world where only they will remain, people will never be less.

Linus turned his back on the mute and took all the distance he could.

"Ohhh......"

Mute once again spoke a strange voice.

Then the wind swirls just around the center between her and Linus.

It gradually gained strength and the wind blew across the street as if to attract him.

Linus stomps on the spot while covering his face with his arms.

But Jiri and his heel rubbed the ground, and he approached.

While doing so, the rocks that rose in the air fell and were approaching the ground.

"Until wind magic...... rare attributes!? Goddamn it, then I 'm-- Sonic Reid!

Linus wraps the wind around his whole body, cutting the sky and advancing.

As the name suggests, assault (Reid) is magic that is supposed to accelerate rapidly and be used to pack the distance from the opponent at once.

It was humiliating enough to inwardly masturbate that I would use it to escape, but I had no choice but to live.

Gago, ooh, ooh, ooh!

A fallen rock falls as it crushes a private house on both sides of the road.

There was no sign of him directly beneath it, but countless fragments loomed closer than behind it.

When you jump high at the right time, you get nothing by climbing on the roof of another private house.

He saw a crushed building from a high place,

"Oh, my God."

And groan.

But odd, if the damage was so great, the mute should have been in danger of getting involved as well.

Of course I don't think that self-destruct would kill me, but I didn't see that unusual look around.

Even if Linus focuses his consciousness, I can't feel the signs.

Does it ever emit what is called a “sign” when it is turned into an outsider in the first place?

"Wow."

That's when that voice tickled Linus' tympanic membrane.

I have goosebumps all over my body.

My voice, it's too close.

Tilting his neck gently, a red swirl reflected on the edge of his vision.

"Whoa whoa whoa!

Raise your voice, turn around and wave your dagger at the same time.

That, I guess, also had aspects to mislead fear.

Even if you were an S-rank adventurer, it's hard to get close to Linus unnoticed.

By then his senses have been sharpened.

And he himself was confident in his ability to detect.

Even so - this sculpture was shown sticking perfectly behind his back without making him feel any sign.

"... O?

Mute took lightly with her twisted arm the blow of her full body released as she turned around.

Rather than..., it happened to hit my hand, but it didn't work at all.

I can't feel the will to defend her.

While Linus understood it was futile, he also pulled out yet another dagger and set up a series of outrageous attacks.

"Huh, haaaa!

Of course, he's no match for Gadio in swordsmanship, but he and one of the humans he calls a hero.

The muscle strength over 3000 and the sharp and quick attacks emanating from the overwhelming agility over 8000 are so powerful that ordinary humans are already finely cut.

That doesn't work for the enemy in front of you at all.

My heart is breaking and Linus' offense is slightly loose.

At that moment, Mute reached into his chest and pressed gently.

"but ha-"

The shock, as if it had been hit by a giant bull, strikes Linus.

And...

Gooooooooooo!

His body was blown away so fast that his body was scattered.

It cannot be slowed down by the wind, and it is slammed against the walls of private houses in a straight line without the art of exchange.

Dogo-o-o-o-o!

Its body breaks through the walls of the private house, and it still doesn't stop and penetrates it yet again, and is thrown out onto the road.

Just before the clash, it's not fatal, thanks to wrapping your body in a cushion of air at a critical place, even in a hazy state of consciousness.

But my whole body hurts.

Especially the chest - probably a broken rib.

I can breathe.

I mean, there doesn't seem to be a hole in his lungs.

Still too painful to blunt his movements.

"Za...... Kenna. It's..."

Whatever it is, it's ridiculous.

It was so overwhelming that he, the warrior of the war, had no choice but to be so foolish.

From the beginning it seemed unusually physically capable for a child, but it shouldn't have been this far.

I guess the “second core” I took in is still empowering her.

Raising his body with both arms, Linus rises, shaking his guts and knees.

And I witnessed a different sight around me.

"People are dead... no, they're not, they're fainting?

Dozens of people are falling with their eyes open.

Your chest is up and down, so it looks like you're breathing.

Confused, looking around, he discovered many more victims.

The human beings present in the street all seem unconscious in the same condition.

It is obviously a mutation caused by mute.

"What the fuck, what the fuck did he do?!

An exasperating linus.

She still doesn't show up before him.

Grab a dagger in your hands and let your gaze wander over where you're coming from.

Huo...

Then I felt a chilly breeze at my feet.

It is distinctly different from the naturally occurring that strokes the cheeks.

Dunn, kicks the ground hard and jumps off the spot.

Then shortly afterwards, the place where he stood froze.

"Chip," he tongues, looking down at that in the air.

Linus landed and exhaled.

But I don't have time to rest.

Zudododododododododododododoo!

Now countless fireballs poured out of the sky.

Shoot down some of them with a dagger, then roll in and avoid the rest.

It hit a stray bullet, and several bodies that had fallen burned.

But there is no response to them, as if they were corpses.

When he rolled over and stood up, Linus walked without stopping.

I still don't see Mute, but the attack is targeting him precisely.

You're supposed to be watching from somewhere.

My feet freeze again.

Jumping back in the same way, now the landing place was grudgingly distorted and my legs sank in the black swamp.

It is dark attribute magic (...).

Feels like it erodes and burns your skin - linus that lifts your body up in the wind immediately.

There next, a rock bullet about the size of his body assaulted him.

"Gu, ah...!

Cross and defend the dagger.

I've been spared a direct hit, but I can't kill him until I impact him.

Linus is blown away.

Ahead - a sharp rock spear was waiting to be removed from the ground.

Stick and die like this.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

When you twist your body desperately in the air, you throw a dagger.

The magic that resided at the same time as the collision was activated and the air exploded.

Throw another one and destroy the rock completely.

When you reach the ground, now a spear of flame looms from the front.

Turning around to retreat, there was a sword of light lined up there.

And over the sky, huge rocks, plus countless black hands grabbing my ankles.

"You're using all six attributes... more than Gene's... duh!

It is an angry word when Gene hears it.

But in fact, Mute used more magic than he manipulated the four attributes.

Originally, she shouldn't have had that power.

Is it the power acquired by the second core, or is it the ability gained for another reason?

There seemed to be no time for Linus right now to think about why.

Left and right are blocked by buildings and magically filled up, down and back.

Now there's no escape - that's what they thought.

"You'll have trouble licking my shine."

They still have enough room for a grin on their mouths.

No, should I say strength rather than affordability?

Anyway, he hadn't given up yet.

"Sonic -"

And stared at the impending spear of flames from before,

"Raidwo!"

I went into it myself.

When Linus wraps around the wind, the black hand that was grabbing his leg is blown away.

His body, which begins accelerating, glides away at an uncontrollable speed in a normal human being.

You're more right to say you've been ejected than you're running.

Even so, Linus passed through the gap of flames as he danced, in the velocity beyond that human limit.

Both legs scream at the unscrupulous movement.

Butch, and I felt like something was going to cut, but now I decided to leave the pain to the adrenaline to be secreted to ignore.

Breaking through the spear of flames, he flew over the roof, dodging also the sword of light looming from behind.

Shortly afterwards, a rock fell from the sky smashing the ground.

Regardless, that is no longer about Linus.

And as expected, magic also descends from his overhead as he moves on the roof.

Now it's ice rain.

With a bow on his back, he quickly grabbed an arrow and let it go.

Pah!

It was ejected. It crumbles along the way, colliding with the ice from which the fragments fall.

Doddle, doddle, doddle, doddle!

When all attacks were accurately offset, the ice pieces glowed off fantastically.

"I don't think you can take me down like this. Here it is!

That's what I said, Linus, that excites me.

Then mutt reveals himself before him like that.

She had also moved on the roof at some point and stopped her leg about twenty meters away.

Linus with a second shot.

Mute, on the other hand, puts his hand in heaven.

"Don't worry, a series of magic in such a luxury. At this rate, one of these days, you're gonna lose your magic, and then it's like I win."

Linus speaks provocatively.

Of course there was no such thing as through.

No longer will people's words make sense to the mute they are now.

But if you use massive magic in a row, one day the magic will run out, which is true.

Sure, a opponent who manipulates six attributes and can't get the offense through properly is a threat, but if you run out of magic, it's a one-sided game from there.

Slowly, you just have to figure out a way to stab the stomach.

Until then, I will continue to endure even - yes, I was thinking.

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhh..."

But the origins aren't so sweet.

Mute exercises magic so as to ignore provocations, etc.

A huge sphere of water, rising in the sky.

Seeing it, Linus remembered Eterna when he fought Zion,

It was the same magnitude as the water magic she exercised back then.

But in the case of mutes, there is not only one magic to activate.

Next to it, a sphere of flames rose.

Further next door, a mass of rock was created.

And the brisk wind, the bright light, the darkness that swallows everything - only to kill one Linus, was generated.

"... kidding, right?

Exactly, he, too, had no choice but to be flattered by this.

I'm just saying it has nothing to do with the depletion of magic, the grand magic act.

Mute slowly lowered her hands and pointed her fingertips at Linus.

Six satellites set in motion.

Before the impending overwhelming violence, he pulled a bow, knowing it was futile.

◇ ◇ ◇

Bazi!

Cyril's sword and Maria's sword of light scatter sparks.

As he pressed, Cyril glanced at his opponent's mask.

"Are you sure you want to fight me?"

"You are my enemy"

"Sure, that's not wrong, but if you leave Mr. Mute alone, there will be more casualties. As a brave man..."

"It doesn't matter!

Cyril swung down his sword greatly at a distance as he thrust Maria with strength.

Maria responds with a sword of light.

But no matter how much it is fortified with Origin Core, she is an amateur in swordsmanship.

When he was easily struck down, Cyril's two machetes ripped her chest open.

I lay my hands there, curing them with magic, even though I cure them.

Avoid the slashing that is carried out without getting into your hair in the back step while wearing a white robe.

So when Maria put her hand around her, a blinding light exploded in front of Cyril's eyes.

I lay more swords of light on her as she devours her eyes.

I don't want to kill you.

Therefore, I was careful not to cause fatal injuries to the target area - but the magic never penetrated Cyril's body.

Soon, the white armor that was wrapped around her protected her from the threat.

It was the top epic equipment existing in the kingdom.

Because of the Demon King's Crusade, that armor, given to Cyril by the King, cannot be scratched one by a large number of attacks.

"Aren't you relying on the equipment given to you, the brave man, while saying it doesn't matter"

"I don't care about the manipulation. Why did you give me the core when you knew it was going to be... a monster!

Once again, the two engage in a meeting between swords.

Exactly in the melee, you decided the minutes were bad, and Maria sneaked Cyril's sword girdle as she exchanged ranged attacks by light magic.

"It's been decided. To make you the same thing as me."

"For what!?

Tilt and avoid the sword waved by anger.

And laughed invincibly, Maria said.

"Together with Master Origin, it is to kill all that exists in this world, living and living."

"Become... how could you do that..."

Cyril bewildered by unexpected answers.

Lost in the sword, too, is pushed by Maria's offense, which has increased in intensity.

"No, in the first place, how could you do that!

"You'll find out sometime, so I'll tell you"

Maria's story as if she knew her future.

Cyril didn't care, but listens to Maria to clear her doubts.

"Master Origin is sealed beneath the castle where the Demon King lives."

"Seal...... God, what?

At least as things stand, Cyril was still such a perception.

"Master Origin brings peace. However, by wiping out all but the Origins from this world. Without others to contend with, the world would be at peace, that was the idea of Master Origin. That's why the old people sealed it."

The phrase "the old people” is somewhat cluttered, but it is also easy to understand.

In fact, it is a human and demonic race, created by the will of the stars, with resistance to the Origins - which I have just described in so much detail, will only complicate in vain.

The only thing that matters is that if you unseal it, Origin will now try to fulfill that grief.

"So I'm saying, to unleash something like that, I've become a brave man?

"That's what happens"

Maria ran out of words.

Cyril disappoints.

For what, have you suffered to this day?

For what, have you carried it to this day?

She never welcomed the suddenly pressing burden of "bravery”.

I want to continue living in peace in the country.

It just would have been enough if it had come true.

Still, I've tried my best to tell myself it was to save someone, I've been unable to.

Yet - I can't believe you were helping to destroy the world instead of saving it.

"No... I don't...!

"But because of someone, Fram left the journey, and the party collapsed, and the plan was ruined"

That said, Maria sighs.

Needless to say, “someone” means Gene.

"No way, but you still gave me that core to forcefully take me to the sealed place...?

"Yes, sir."

At that time, yet, Origin was going to execute the first plan.

Even with fewer people, it should be possible to defeat the Demon Kings if we even use the core, that's how we calculated it.

But in fact, it doesn't work that way.

Cyril didn't use the core, and Maria was caught up in Echidona's plot, and now it's time for the operation to go completely broke.

"Why, why would you do that!

"You're going back there in the end."

Maria said in a slightly frightened manner.

If her desire is to destroy an organism other than the Origin, then I no longer care why.

Because it will disappear anyway.

But that is Maria's logic.

We try to kill ourselves, but we don't even try to tell you why.

Such a thing, Cyril on the involved side could not have been seen.

Most of all, there's no way I'm convinced from what I've heard - that's why Maria didn't try to talk... but if you want to hear that much, you'll have to talk.

"My homeland was wiped out by demonic raids"

She remembers it clearly - one day suddenly, they with blue skin attacked.

I was happy.

Surrounded by kind-hearted family, friends and villagers, there was no disaffection but I was never dissatisfied with it.

But the devils came upon such Marias, and began the slaughter indiscriminately.

Without any foretaste, irrationally.

"My family was killed without leaving one. Suffocated by the magic of the devil clan, melted, and even crushed by stones pouring down from the sky. I was shown my family to be just flesh pieces."

It was too much of an event for her to have hatred of the Demons.

"And miraculously (...) I survived, I was saved by the Church, I was found talented, I was raised as a Virgin"

At least at the time of the rescue, it seems, the survivors were supposed to be Maria alone.

That made her extra mysterious and improved her value as a Virgin.

"Then the Demons, anyway, shouldn't have to kill humans!

"Exactly. I was grateful to the Church, the benefactor of my life, and I weighed its teachings, loved man as the Virgin, and was sincerely merciful..."

Maria speaking in a gentle and warm voice.

But there, her wrapped air changes.

"Until two years ago."

All of a sudden, I can lose my emotions from words.

The leopard changed, and Cyril felt a bottomless fear.

"I have known"

"What,?

"That the Church is connected to the Demons. And that it was the Church that ordered the devils to raid my homeland"

A faint flame lights Maria's heart that speaks.

The anger that has deprived me of my family, the hatred that has deceived me, the sadness that has betrayed me by my loved ones.

Countless other emotions overlapped to create darkness that was blacker and could not be illuminated by any light.

A tear of blood conveying the mask seemed to describe the inside of her chest.

Cyril gets barometric pressure and falls further behind.

"It incites the anti-demonic sentiments of the people, eliminates pagans, takes talented children home and abducts humans who serve as materials for research. It was an operation so full of advantages for the Church that it had no choice but to execute"

It was not just Maria's homeland, but Saila's homeland, which had been raided and destroyed in the same way.

"The Ten himself who saved me, the one who raised me, the Pope who was kind to me, they all knew that. Knowing it, he was killing my family and treating them as if they were real."

A human being is a collection of memories.

Personality is also changed by events experienced in the past.

The moment I learned the truth, Maria's tender memories became all full of deception.

It was anointed with red and black, which replaced the elements that made up her new.

"Oh, I can barf back, how disgusting. Hate, hate, hate! Is this the kind of creature that would be allowed to exist in this world?

"Maria......"

"I won't admit it. All demons and people, including me raised by them, should disappear from this world!

Strongly assert with a faint voice.

The past I spent as a Virgin, the present surrounded by my family, and the future I was dreaming about, were all tainted.

The scaffolding collapses and sinks into a deep, bottomless mud.

At the time of the fall, no one else - could ever rescue her or anything else.

"So... trying to destroy"

"Heh, heh... did you understand that? Maybe I'm similar to Mr. Cyril in the sense of being a clown."

"Yes, maybe"

"But at this point, I'll be clear. Me -"

Maria speaks out in an unemotional voice to Cyril, who has a bitter look on her face.

"I hate you."

That was none other than them - but definitely her true intentions.

"No matter how much Mr. Jean put you up to this, your appearance betraying and hurting Mr. Flamm was terribly ugly"

Knowing the pain of being betrayed by a loved one, she had a chest ache just looking at it like that.

In your position, how many times have you wanted to disobey Origin's life, although you could not reach out to Flam?

"Oh, no... you don't have to tell me"

"Yeah, you must be aware. You must be suffering. But you haven't done anything in the end. You look like a victim, and you're just suddenly getting away with it. If I wanted to, I'd be able to find a place for Mr. Fram, who became a slave."

"You don't have to tell me that!

Cyril repeats.

And I left it to my anger to wave down my sword.

Bazi!

Maria's sword of light in her grip is slapped down and disappeared, but she creates a new sword in a calm manner.

The mistake pointed out by others is often the one that the person is most aware of than anyone else.

That's why people get angry when they repeatedly point out that even they're suffering.

"So what? Then what are you saying! It doesn't matter now!

Cyril leaves it to her emotions.

"First of all, it's you who's the victim. Betrayed, it was hard, I hate them! You know that very well, don't you? But don't let yourself be surrounded by destroying humans or demons! If you want revenge, you can handle it within yourself alone without bothering others!

Then Maria also roughs up her voice and argues.

"What makes you look great when you've got Mr. Flam involved in hysteria, sheltered a killer with personal sentiment!

"It's not like you no longer have the right to rebuff Mr. Maria no matter what I am! Mostly, tell me to unseal such a god or destroy people, then why are you acting with Mr. Linus! I don't know how easy it is to kill people when you're halfway ready!

"That's..."

Maria stuck in words.

In that gap, Cyril steps forward and releases a sharp knife.

Deep slashed diagonally from her shoulder, Maria groaned bitterly.

Though the wound was healed by immediate healing magic, Cyril's offense continues.

"I wish I'd met him sooner!

"I'm saying I'm halfway through that. Ahhh!

That, like Cyril earlier, was something Maria herself was aware of “even if she didn't tell me".

What do you expect with this body that has turned out to be a monster?

I'm halfway there, even though it can't go hand in hand with unsealing the origins and accompanying Linus.

So Maria gets angry because she's a star.

"I don't deserve to tell you I'm ready to talk to you all the time about escaping responsibility!

I can't find any objections, so in the end I just have to point out the other guy's crude.

There's no way we can bump into each other's emotional theories like that and have mutually agreeable answers.

The only clear fact is that Maria is an enemy to Cyril.

In other words, there is no other way to settle than to exchange swords and one of them falls.

And then...

Do-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!

There was a loud explosion in Wang Du.

The two stop their hands at the same time and stare in that direction with a blinking flash.

"Mr. Linus......!

Maria rushes out through Cyril's side.

"Shit-"

Cyril responding in a hurry, but her back is already breaking away.

That's what I would have done if I wanted to chase him.

But I didn't feel like stopping her from thinking and running about Linus, not as Origin's messenger.

Drop off that hindsight, stare into the palm of your hand, and squeal.

"Mute......"

Cyril knows the sin.

Even that it is no longer possible to return alive.

Then maybe Cyril should also join the war in order not to add any more casualties as someone with the power to fight.

But - working with Maria to fight, or hurting mutts, would be difficult for her right now.

I can't do anything, I have no place to go.

Alone again, Cyril had no choice but to stand on the spot.
