Sairin Yuusha no Fukushuu Hanashi

Episode XIV: Lucifina Emilior

A silver-haired demon king looks down on us in a scaffold with a half-broken labyrinth lid.

- Demon King Orteguia.

The disastrous appearance remained to be seen thirty years ago.

"... ugh."

I want to gaze at the wounded Lucifina, but I can't take my eyes off Ortegia.

If you take your gaze off, they'll kill you.

Even if you were activating elephant magic, if you make a gap for a moment, this neck will fall instantly.

"Hmm."

Whimpering small, Ortegear bends his index finger.

Shortly afterwards, the 'Celestial Sword', which was rolling in the corner of the room, floated and fell into Orteguia's hands.

The Divine Sword, who rejects none other than the chosen one - did not reject Orteguia.

"Again, I'm familiar with my hands. Lucifina... this sword is not a good sword handled by an obscene being like you"

Ignoring us, Ortegia told Lucifina to throw up.

Floating in the eyes of gold is disdain and disgust.

The look on Orteguia's face made me uncomfortable.

"- Huh"

In a moment, Elfi shot a demonic eye into Orteguia silently.

Ashes exploded with immense magic.

Orteguia waved the 'astral sword' with one hand and broke it off as a matter of course.

"Look at me!! Orteguia van Zarefeldo!!"

Elphi dyes her eyes red lotus and screams without concealing her passion.

to the anger emitted from Elfi, but Orteguia does not change one expression.

With the look of no interest, Orteghia said quietly.

"I don't need to see any grubby fish like you that isn't enough to take"

"Ortegear ah......!

Without even gazing at Elfi, Orteghia put up a 'astral sword'.

"I'll show you the true use of this sword"

In a moment, "The Sky Sword" dazzled.

Flashes incomparable to those used by Lucifina or Hilde Garda.

"-" Power and Saviour Creation (Messiah Meltstrom) ". This sword is the power to repaint the world. With this power I will wipe you out of this world."

Around Orteguia, magic swirls.

It's like a stormy swirl of magic, I forgot to breathe.

The slaughter of the 'Heavenly Sword' I've seen so far is not even comparable.

If I let you shoot me, no.

"Ortegear ah!!"

"- Huh!!"

Me and Elfi were moving at the same time.

I activate the elephant magic, and Elfi activates the all-powerful demonic eye.

Slashing and ash explosions by ghost swords were unleashed on Orteguia at the same time.

――――

"What?"

Shortly before it hit Orteguia, the attack crushed as if it hit an invisible wall.

Continuous attacks can't cross that wall.

"What's going on!?"

"It's the juncture...! When are you going to do this?

Activating Magic Takeover (Spell Divauer) could not break the invisible junction.

Neither does Elfi slap his demon arm, nor does the junction shake small.

Orteguia is gathering magic in the 'Heavenly Sword', not to alarm us.

"- Huh!!"

Berdia flew through the sky and shot the braces in from over Orteguia's head.

But the braces were also played by the junction.

The junction protects Orteguia from all directions.

- No, you can't.

Got it.

To break that line, you have to use "Demon Ten Lost (Eclipse)".

But with this move here, we can't destroy the void labyrinth.

No, in the first place.

With us drained in a series of wars, Orteguia has no chance of winning...

"Hey Orteggia!!"

Elfi won't stop the attack.

But there was no sign that we could cross the line.

What are we gonna do?

Do you want to shoot the demon crash?

No, you can't.

I can't protect the Great Forest, and there's no guarantee I can fight from the front and win.

So you want to run?

I can't do that either.

I don't think I can earn enough distance to take the blow of "The Sky Sword".

So, use defensive magic to take an Orteguia blow?

No, that can't be all.

We have no power to prevent that attack.

Think.

The worst thing for us is to wipe it out here.

Then all I can do now is take it.

The only way to do this is to abandon the Great Forest and shoot the Devil's Heaven down -.

"-Io."

From behind, I heard a voice.

Lucifina's voice.

But I can't afford to turn around.

"It was a real pleasure to meet Mr. Io"

"Luci."

Understand everything in that one word and look back.

Moments ago, there was Lucifina's face in front of me.

――――

Soft feel.

The body temperature you pass on is hot.

Born into thought, a moment of blankness.

"Goodbye."

Fluffy.

My body floated in the air and I realized I was thrown out of the labyrinth late.

At the end of his gaze, he saw Lucifina smiling, losing her right hand.

"Mr. Beldia! Mr. Elphiszark! Run, please!

Two people called by name, see Lucifina.

Beldia stopped attacking immediately and headed towards me as I fell.

Elfi, after a brief tour,

"Mr. Elphiszark"

――――

"- Regards, Mr. Io"

Hearing Lucifina's words, she jumped outside the labyrinth herself with a hostage.

Elfi's falling. Catch up to me, grab me with one arm.

Beldia put it on her back.

"Oh, man."

Wait a minute.

What are you doing?

"Beldia!! What are you doing?!? Get back here!

――――

Beldia does not answer.

"... ugh. I'll be back alone!!"

But my body didn't move.

Because Elfi is putting his strength into his arms.

No matter where you try to shake it, you're not scared.

"Elfi... do what"

"You know what I mean."

"So what?"

"... we can beat Ortegia today"

"Huh."

I know that.

In that situation, there's only one way we can help.

But it is.

"-Io."

I heard a voice.

Lucifina was laughing at me.

- [May no one be scratched (Vauz) in the world (-Atalaxia)].

The light will cover our bodies.

From all misery, mindset magic that protects your people.

But there's no place for Lucifina in a world where no one gets hurt...

"- I love you"

Immediately after hearing Lucifina's words, Beldia plummeted.

"Lucifina ahhh!!"

The hand I reached, it didn't reach.

◆

"You don't even show me how to chase you."

Confirming that Ioda was gone, Lucifina turned her gaze to Orteguia.

Orteghia doesn't even show her gaze outside the labyrinth, she's pointing her chilled gaze at Lucifina.

To that gaze, Lucifina felt somewhere uncomfortable.

"I don't need to chase you. By the time I got this sword, my purpose had already been achieved"

"The Io guys think it's not worth dealing with?

"Worth it. There's just no point in dealing with them in this place."

Answering quietly, Orteghia narrows her eyes.

"An elephant magic to protect yourself."

"Yes, as long as I'm around, I won't let anyone get hurt"

"I'm big ready. Not at all, crap."

"Even if it's crap, because this is my way of life"

"... people like you are just scared to think about it, such as when they were using Melt's sword"

With that said, Orteguia put his strength into the sword holding the 'Heavenly Sword'.

Lucifina activates magic with her left hand to intercept it.

Even if you can't win, Lucifina won't bend her knees.

When you fight through to the end, you decide for yourself.

"- Come on. Let's use this blow to get to her."

Towards the sky, the 'Heavenly Sword' is poked up.

Its brilliance is not the stuff Lucifina knows about 'The Heavenly Sword'.

More, something else.

"... Ortegia. No, you..."

So Lucifina came to mind.

to that possibility.

"■ ■?

――――

Orteguia opens his eyes to a slightly surprising breeze.

Eventually, I said with a tough evil grin.

"- Death and worship, disrespecter."

And 'The Sky Sword' was waved down.

"-" Tears to the Death of Beloved Stars. ""

Like a meteor, magic pours out of the sky.

Flashing enough to wear heaven and create and change heaven.

Before that blow, Lucifina stands without giving in to her knees.

"- The Knight of the Kingdom, Lucifina Emilior"

One day, it was in front of him, with his name in his mouth.

And -.

◆

Lucifina Emilior was born in a village of fairy species (elves) on the edge of the kingdom.

Once, the village was exclusive and almost unacceptable to any race other than the fairy species.

But as the threat of the Demon King's Army grew, more things did not stand in the power of the village.

We should embrace other races.

That idea spread, and eventually the village began to embrace people outside.

Fairy species are hard to give children.

It took me years to accept people and have children.

In that, the first child born was Lucifina.

With the birth of Lucifina, the air of the village, which was exclusive, dives rapidly into the ringing.

So by the time Lucifina became attentive, the village was getting a different warm air.

My parents are kind, and all the people who are different in the village speak up.

For Lucifina, the world was gentle and warm.

We never hate each other or kill each other, even if we have a fight.

Such serene happiness was everything to Lucifina.

I just had a little something to worry about in Lucifina.

In my own house, I have a collection that they say, 'Never open'.

For generations, my mother told me that the Emilior family had been protecting this collection.

It is protected from generation to generation, so it contains great treasures.

Wouldn't that treasure make us all happier?

Under the curiosity of childhood and such kindness, one day Lucifina secretly opened the door of Zao.

"This, is..."

What was in the vault was a swing of sword.

A purple sword is placed in the center of the magic formation.

Breathtaking in the divinity of the Great Sword, Lucifina entered the magic formation.

And I slowly took the great sword that was stabbing me in the center.

――――

The moment Lucifina touched her, her fullness dazzled with light.

The light stretches to the ceiling.

Something, didn't I do something unsavory?

Driven by such fear, Lucifina escaped the scene.

I'm sure it pisses me off.

It was so frightening Lucifina, but my mother just asked me once, "Did you not enter the vault".

When she lied that she wasn't in, her mother nodded that she understood and didn't say anything exactly.

- And it was three days after that that that the village perished.

One day, abruptly, a large group of demons poured into the village.

An army led by the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King's Army, Thousand Weirds, came into the kingdom.

The village of Lucifina was in its passage.

Out of the house, Lucifina watched as she was playing outside.

"Come on, guys!! Janjan Bali, good to kill you all!!"

Orange-haired women are giving instructions to demons and demons.

Many demons eat and kill villagers in a barking madness.

The orange-haired woman quickly went outside if she was not interested in the village.

I just remember Lucifina.

An orange-haired woman told me when she left.

"Hold on, Odds. Hey. I can't believe no one in the Demon King's Army has ever known how easy it is to break into a kingdom like this. - If you didn't know about the eagle, you might need to investigate it later."

So, Lucifina noticed.

The Demon King's army has attacked here because of itself.

My mother said.

There is a bond in this village made by Master Melt, so that the wicked will not find it.

So he says this village is safe.

"It's my... fault"

Ever since I touched that sword, the villages have been found by bad people.

When I regretted it, it was too late.

The flames are rising all over the village.

From all over, I heard screams.

The villagers used witchcraft to defeat a large number of demons.

But there are strong demons inside that no one in the village knows about, and they are gradually killed.

When Lucifina returned home with her life, she had a father and mother with a rugged face.

Look at Lucifina, "Good," tears of relief.

Then he tied the line at home and left telling them never to leave the house, and the two of them left.

I told you to fight to protect the village.

Lucifina could only do what was scary and trembling.

Then, thirty minutes later.

My parents came home.

Dragon breed caught me dead.

"Ahhh... ahhh!!"

I don't remember much from it.

What I remember is that I desperately fled the scene.

That I went to the collection so that I could suck it in and hold the purple sword.

And the moment I touched it, I understood the name of this sword and how to use it.

- "The Heavenly Sword Meltstrom".

The sword created by the Holy Light God Melt in his own power.

It was created to amplify the power of Melt's power to 'create and change the world'.

Because of its power, the Emilior family was entrusted to conceal this sword in Melt.

"I ruined it all."

The demons break through the Zao door and come inside.

"Still... you hate..."

I killed the villagers, I hate the Demon King Army.

Lucifina remained hateful and waved down the 'Heavenly Sword'.

And when I realized, the demon was gone.

Lucifina was then protected by a rushed kingdom knight.

And he was scouted to join the Knights by a kingdom that understood the strength of the 'Astronomical Sword', which could only be handled by Lucifina.

- It was a village where peaceful, warm and gentle people lived.

Lucifina broke it.

My mother, who was kind and knowledgeable, and my father, who was admired by the people of the village, died because of me.

I tore everyone's happiness apart with my hands.

I hated the Demon King's Army and killed it for revenge.

If they were from the village, there could have been another solution.

I picked everyone's possibilities.

So.

Until everyone's minute, I have to do what I can.

Thousands of times as many people as I've made unhappy, I have to make them happy.

"- Okay. Put me in the Knights."

Because of such self-inflicted thoughts, Lucifina joined the Knights of the Kingdom.

But I went out on the battlefield and realized it.

To make someone happy, you have to make someone just as unhappy.

That we must kill the demons to protect the happiness of the people of the kingdom.

- I saw many suffer.

A wounded demon clan begs for his life.

I have a family, and they want me to miss it.

If I miss it, I cry and thank you, and I leave.

The other knights attacked and killed that back.

Wrong, I thought.

Enemies and allies all cry, suffer.

This fight, it's wrong.

Even the Demons have a family.

Even the Demons have feelings.

That should be the same for both humans and subhumans.

Reminds me of my suffering and dead family.

"Kill the Demons without mercy!!"

But the superior officer gave the order.

My colleagues will kill the Demons without getting lost.

Because there's no other way to save the kingdom.

"I... don't want anyone, scratched"

Is it then?

One day, I wish I had a world where no one would get hurt.

Though I couldn't get anyone to approve.

◆

It was one day.

Noised that the heavy towns of the kingdom, such as kings and ministers, were informed at the same time.

Its contents were: 'Summon the savior brave from the other world'.

As you told me, the kingdom began to prepare for the summons of the brave.

Along the way, the Demons tried to sneak into the royal castle and destroy the summons formation, but Lucifina, who noticed, stopped it.

After that happened, a few days later.

Finally, a brave man was summoned.

Apparently his name was Amatsu.

Will this make the world peaceful?

With just a few expectations, Lucifina went to say hello to Amatsu.

So, expectations will be crushed, and you will be ashamed of yourself with such expectations.

"Give it back to the original world..."

I wondered what I'd done.

Amatsu was just a boy.

Just because you're a brave man, you've got people from other worlds involved.

I had nothing but regret.

I regretted myself for not stopping the summons, wondering what a harsh fate I had tried to push upon the people of the outside world.

Somehow, I wanted to give it back to the original world.

Yet.

"... oh, I don't know about the Demon King's Army or saving the world"

――――

"Now... I will fight to help you."

The boy fought for me to help Lucifina.

He bled, wept, and still fought for the fear of fighting the Demon King's Army.

The face of the frightened boy changed every time he passed the battlefield.

He was strong, but gentle, and when I saw his face, I calmed my mind naturally.

So, I guess.

One day, Lucifina told the boy her dream.

He wants to get rid of war from this world and make it a world where no one gets hurt.

"Me too, I thought. Be good when it's a funny world for everyone."

The boy laughed at me for saying that.

He's sweet.

Suitable for me, there would have been a part of me that said that.

Still, I was happy.

It could have been this time.

What made you like the boy?

◆

And then there really were a lot of things.

There were many things sad, hard, and painful.

Still, I can assure you Lucifina was happy that time.

"It's okay, Lucifina. I'm here."

He always spoke to me when I was pushing anxiety to kill him.

"I'll be able to use defensive magic so Lucifina doesn't have to use elephant magic."

He showed himself and protected me with new sorcery.

"... Mr. Lucifina. Please, leave the food to me and rest."

He didn't let me cook so hard, and he was obstinate.

"I wish I could. Can I dry Lucifina's hair?

When I couldn't use my arm in battle, Io let me dry instead.

I liked his hands to dry gently and comb my hair.

I remember having my hair dried for various reasons even after my arm became available.

- Clumsy, blunt, but I liked him for desperately fighting.

Ever since Hilde Garda took over, everything has been covered in darkness.

Put Yi Wei in his hands, mock Luisas, and kill people as Demon King's Army.

In those days, my heart almost broke over and over again.

- Fighting to the end, though I told him.

I was able to stand up because Io was there.

Warm, clumsy, and very gentle.

That's what kept him alive, so I could beat Hilde Garda.

- Fighting, fighting, I couldn't stop being scared.

Still, I was able to keep fighting.

After all, because he was there for me.

With him, I wasn't afraid of any battlefield.

All the time, because he supported me.

- So I'm still not scared at all.

◆

But I just have a little something to worry about.

This is what Io said about Mr. Elfiszark.

The guy I trust the most in the world, he said.

I'm sure she's been supporting Io so far.

Just a little, that's what I envy.

Then I thought I should have added a word to my last words.

That's all, just a little heartbreaking.

Hey, Mr. Itsuki.

- The most, I love you in the world.

◆

- A tremendous flash swallowed the world.

With the roar, the falling labyrinth swallows into the light.

The aftermath also pushes at Ioda as she descends downstairs, but the mindset that wraps them blocked it.

Even receiving enough light to create heaven, Lucifina Emilior's elephant magic did not waver.

――――

When the light subsided, the void labyrinth that was floating in the sky had vanished without a trace.

A crack entered the junction covering the Great Forest with the aftermath of the shock, but that is the only damage that can be called damage.

The Great Forest crisis caused by the fall of the Labyrinth left with the blow of Orteguia.

Beldia lands on a flat ground a little further from the Great Forest.

As with time, it vanished so that Lucifina's mind magic, which had covered their bodies, could be solved.

"Lucifina"

In the extinction of mental witchcraft, Iori utters the name of the sorcerer.

Beldia and Elphiszark had no words to hang on such a weave and had a sinking face.

But such silence was scratched out by the presence of one who appeared overhead.

"How obsessive was it to completely prevent the blow of the 'Heavenly Sword'?"

Trying to look down at Ioda, Orteguia was floating in the air.

I looked up, and the three of them were stunned.

Because Lucifina had her torso pierced by the body of the 'Heavenly Sword' and was shaking with a bluff.

"Luci, Fina......"

Every time I shake, my potatoes and blood fall toward the ground.

Lucifina did not even move, but turned to the unarmed.

"You look like you want something, brave. You can split it up."

Bun, and Orteguia waved 'The Sky Sword'.

At the foot of Iwo, something drops with a docha sound.

It was Lucifina's neck.

"... ah"

Long and beautiful blonde hair is getting red and black dirty with blood and mud.

There was zero blood from the section of his neck and the ground was dyed red.

With a frightened voice, Iwo reaches out to Lucifina's neck.

That arm was just before I touched Lucifina.

Lucifina's neck bounced like a fruit.

My hair, my blood, falls like rain.

Shortly after, Orteghia threw Lucifina's torso into the universe, which was piercing her sword.

And rupture it just like earlier.

Like rain, what was Lucifina poured down.

"Lucifina - Hilde Garda was a good comma. On my hands, you've worked long enough. But I've already used it. By the time I woke up, I had become unnecessary."

Orteghia spins her words pale as she looks down at the silent Iwo.

"If you don't have to, just put it in your sight, such as a nasty half-elf skin, to offend you"

Tell him to throw it away, and Orteguia asks Io.

"Well, weakest brave man. Thirty years ago, how I felt betrayed. Was that stupid sorcerer's hatred comforting? How was the jealousy of the ghost tribe who betrayed you with care for special treatment? What's all this bullshit about a lady knight being taken over and dancing at will?

――――

"How did it feel to dance like I muscled?

――――

Nose at Iwoven, who does not open his mouth, Orteguia points to Elphiszark.

"Thirty years ago, I was just dealing with a clown like that, and it was wearing out. It was dangerous to deal with him from the front, no matter how weakest brave he was. That's why we used Hilde Garda to crush each other within."

――――

To Iwo, who remained silent, Orteghia deliberately struck her hand.

And as it is, speak a light word of fact that no one on this occasion knew.

"Oh, you didn't know? You were summoned because of me."

"-... what?"

"You didn't question that? Why have I been summoned? Was there anyone but yourself who could have been brave enough?"

Naturally, there was.

Why have I been chosen as a brave man?

How many times did I think about why?

"The Summoners summon those who can handle the 'Testimony of the Brave'. That is, something with the qualities to save the world." Testimony of the Brave "is part of the magic Melt used to make. I have the power to sort out those who can save the world by her standards and to give them the power of God"

Both the Summoners and the "Testimony of the Brave" knew that it was something Melt had made.

But the information Orteguia tells us is first-hand.

"Therefore, it did not have to be you to be summoned. Because if you have the qualities to save the world, whether you're a young man of pull or a swordsman of the hated, that's fine. So why do you think you were summoned?

…………

"It's a simple story. You were summoned because I worked so hard on the subpoena and conditioned the subpoena."

The golden eyes are distorted into the form of a laugh, and Orteguia tells the terms.

"Here's what I've added. - Call only to the weakest of those who can handle the 'Testimony of the Brave'"

――――

"That's how you came, Tianjin Yiwei."

To the facts told by Orteguia, Io said nothing.

I'm just staring up at Orteguia.

"Do you understand? You are indeed chosen by Melt. [M] But you're the weakest of them all."

――――

"O weakest brave man. It made it a lot easier to crush you."

As he waves, Orteguia overlaps words.

But Io doesn't say anything.

I'm just looking at Orteguia with my vain eyes.

"... in thirty years, you've become a cheap man. Orteguia."

It was Elphiszark who opened his mouth in place of Iori, who did not speak.

"Thought you weren't the kind of man who would slap such a futile mouth"

"Hmm."

Orteguia distorted his face uncomfortably for a moment, but immediately grinned.

That's ridicule.

"Elphiszark. Speaking of which, it was easier than that to crush you."

"... what?

"How do you feel about killing Gracia Leviataine?

――――

"I can't even hold my men's reins, they kill all my people, they seal themselves too. Of all the demon kings in history, there will be no one but you who has lost in such a funny and unparalleled way."

To the words of painful contempt, Elphiszark lost much of his anger.

It was when I tried to eat and bind my teeth and speak of overflowing anger.

"- [Hero Reproduction (The Raise)]"

A huge amount of magic erupted from next door to Elphiszark.

"... the weakest, but what do you know?"

"Hmm?"

"Die, Orteguia"

With the use of mental witchcraft, Iwo turns his hand to Orteguia.

In the middle of his palm, a vortex of pitch-black magic structured.

"I'm sorry, but you guys are useless for miscellaneous fish. I still have a lot to do. We need to get back to Demon King Castle soon. In the near future, we will sweep away humans and subhumans. Naturally, so do you."

"-" Demon Heaven Fallen (Eclipse) ""

Io unleashes the greatest sorcery he can have.

A run of pitch-black magic just before swallowing Orteguia.

"- At best, wait frightened. Defeaters."

Leaving those words behind, Orteguia disappeared neglectfully.

The Devil's Heaven Fall disappears to the other side without capturing Orteguia.

Elphiszark explores his surroundings with demonic eyes, but the signs of Orteguia had already disappeared.

"Chi, shit."

Yi Wei kneels as she red-wets her whole body with blood.

Tears of blood, scratching his head galloping.

From now on, it was.

Lucifina's life was supposed to start all over again.
