Traveler, High School Student, Homeless

Then, two surges of magical power came from behind Dante.

The armor on his upper body was removed, revealing the bright red lines on his body. Gilgamesh, who had transformed from a magician to an archer, raised the strangely shaped weapon in his hand with an indifferent expression.

At the same time, Scathach, who stood up from the nether world of death, clenched the spear in his hand with a renewed breath.

[Heaven and earth leave Pizhixing! 】

[The gun that pierces through the death flight! 】

Compared with the previous two shots of the Noble Phantasm, it was more violent, and it was not a level of power explosion at all, so that the Demon King, who was caught off guard, had to choose a defensive posture.

One after another, the magic power is almost materialized, and the blood dances to dye the air. At this moment, the magic power content in the air in the ruins is high enough to cause harm to ordinary humans. It is impossible to describe how violent it is Fighting can reach this point.

"Useless! Such an attack is impossible to defeat me!!!"

In the ferocious voice, it was the Demon King who forcibly pushed back the two attacks, and stepped forward again.

[A shooting star——]

In the next second, an arrow pierced through the chest, blasting the Demon King's chest apart.

It was also at this moment that Kamijou Touma's footsteps came to the edge of this battlefield.

Chapter 75: Yes, He's My Friend

"Huh...uh..."

Panting in pain, V's body is shedding more and more crumbs.

The cracks on the skin looked particularly hideous and terrifying. Both Kamijou Touma and Nero could tell that this frail man had reached the end of his life and might die at any time.

"Let's... take a break."

Nero said a little reluctantly.

"No, if I stop now, then everything is really meaningless," V gasped in pain again, and looked at Nero who was supporting him with a bitter smile, "Please, this is me The last request of my life."

The roaring sound in front continued to sound, and there was still a considerable distance, but the surrounding walls and ground were already covered with dense cracks.

"If this continues, it is estimated that by the time we arrive, Dante will have finished fighting."

Nero sighed, but he didn't choose to put V down, but continued to support him to move forward.

"Speaking of which, your name is Kamijou Touma, right?"

While walking, V suddenly turned his head to look at Kamijou Touma and asked.

"Well, yeah, what's wrong?"

The young man was a little puzzled, he always felt that the man looked at him a little strangely.

"It's very dangerous here. All kinds of monsters are running around, and we have to go to a very dangerous place ahead. Are you not afraid that you will be in danger, or even die from serious injuries? I can see that your strength is not counted. powerful."

V seems to have something to say.

"I know that my strength is really not strong."

Kamijou Touma shook his head, being very honest about it.

"However, my friend was caught and imprisoned by people from this site."

"He is a very good person. Although he will say troublesome things, as long as you ask him seriously, he will try his best to help you, and he will help you without asking for anything in return. people."

"In order to save the people on the planet I live on, he injects heavily polluted medicine into his body, regardless of his own life, just to save a group of people who have nothing to do with him, just because he can't understand this If something happens', put your life on the line and work hard."

"Such a person should not be treated like this. I can't accept it. I can't accept it anyway."

"Maybe my strength is really not enough, but I must do my best to rescue him. I will never be able to watch this kind of thing."

Kamijou Touma clenched his fists, his voice was very powerful.

"Aura is pretty good," Nero couldn't help laughing, "but if you don't have strength, only aura is useless, you have to work harder, at least not in the current thin arms and legs."

V didn't speak, just smiled lightly, showing a gentle smile as if he was reminiscing about something.

"You are indeed such a person, otherwise, I wouldn't have..."

"No what?"

"Oh, it's nothing, I'm just talking to myself."

The whispered words caught Kamijou Touma and Nero's attention, but V obviously didn't intend to explain what he just said.

At this time, the vibration in front became more intense. Suddenly, the ceiling above his head collapsed. Nero supported V with one hand, and with the other hand, he took out the big sword on his back and swung it violently. The flames that were set off sent all the fallen stones flying.

"It seems to be getting closer, this prelude is really good."

Nero snorted and said with a smile.

"Well, let's move on," Kamijou Touma took a deep breath, his gaze became more determined, "Rescue Jiang Ming, and then go back to Virgil, this is what I want to do."

"Virgil?"

Nero, who had already known that the demon king was Virgil, froze suddenly at this moment.

"..."

V's eyes widened in astonishment, as if he didn't expect Kamijou Touma to mention this name suddenly.

So he stretched out his hand, signaling Nero not to speak for now, and then looked at Kamijou Touma.

"You just said that you were going to find Virgil?"

V asked in a low voice.

"Well, he is also my friend, because I don't know where this matter has gone this time. To be honest, I am very worried about him, but I can't find out where he is."

Kamijou Touma sighed.

"In your opinion, does he qualify as a friend?"

V seemed a little unbelievable.

"That's right, he is my friend," Kamijou Touma said naturally, "Although he was a bit indifferent at the beginning, I think Virgil is really not a bad person, and he will go after him for the safety of the city. 'Clear Sea' also helped to build the stalls for the Winter Festival, and he was also at the forefront of the battle to save the world and helped me and Jiang Ming attract the attention of the enemy. monster."

"I believe he is a nice person, and I have always treated him as a friend. It's just...well, I hope he doesn't do stupid things. I always think he is a person who tends to go to extremes. This time this incident is a bit exciting Now that he's here, I'm worried..."

At the end, Kamijou Touma scratched his hair helplessly.

"..."

Although he has been silent all the time, Nero's eyes are obviously not right.

And V, this dying man, lowered his head at this moment, maintaining a state of silence, not knowing what he was thinking.

boom -

The roaring sound from ahead is becoming more and more obvious.

Obviously, they are getting closer and closer to the position of that battlefield.

"Moments where there was power, but there was nothing."

"After losing power, I got so much instead."

"Is this satirizing the path I have pursued at all costs, or is it trying to tell me that I am indeed wrong?"

V suddenly muttered to himself.

"I've been paying attention to it just now, Mr. V, what have you been talking about?"

Kamijou Touma moved closer.

"You said just now that you believe Virgil is a nice person?"

V looked up at Kamijou Touma.

"Well, yeah, what's wrong?"

Although it felt a bit strange, Kamijou Touma answered honestly.

"So, what if Virgil is actually not a good person?" V continued, "If he is actually a fool who would do anything for power, who would throw everything away for power, and lose everything because of it, for What about the bastards who caused so many innocent deaths?"

"He's not like that, I don't see him like that."

Kamijou Touma retorted somewhat unhappily.

"What if he was, and has always been, and you just didn't see it?"

V's voice seemed a little aggressive.

"I believe in the Virgil I've been with, and besides, if he did something wrong, then I'll find him, knock him down, and tell him what he did was wrong."

Kamijou Touma breathed out, thought for a while before speaking.

"Then, what will you do next? What are you going to do in the face of this guy who has done something wrong and is not what you imagined?"

V asked again.

"What to do, he is still my friend," Touma Kamijou became a little impatient, after all, he was being questioned by a stranger at this moment as his friend, "It's okay if you do something wrong, there is no one in this world A person who can’t make mistakes, and I trust him, I will always trust him, even if he made a mistake, he will definitely correct it, and he won’t keep making mistakes. And isn’t that what friends are like? If a person leaves Is it any wonder that you rely on your friends to find out your mistakes and make corrections to get where you should go if you go on the wrong path?"

"Also, I'm not the only one waiting for Jiang Ming and Virgil to come back. This time, the coalition forces were recruited by Batman and Wu Ming, and the containment and control center also sent people to help us. Residents, are waiting for their return."

"You know my dad is still waiting for Jiang Ming and Virgil to help out and sort out the yard of the new house and plant something."

Kamijou Touma said a series of words in one breath.

"No, it's nothing strange, it's just... ha, I was a little moved..."

V covered his face and smiled lightly.

I am no longer alone.

I once chose to bury all the light and walk alone in the darkness, thinking that this is the right way.

Now it seems that I have actually lost it long ago, and it was not until I lost my strength and returned to the ordinary that I found the precious things again.

Yes, isn't my original intention of wanting power just to keep such tiny happiness?

"Jiang Ming will come back, and so will Virgil."

V, whose body was constantly collapsing, said to Touma with a smile at this moment.

"This is my guarantee, they will definitely come back!"

Amidst the roar ahead, the three of them finally reached the edge of the battlefield.
