Sairin Yuusha no Fukushuu Hanashi

Episode XVII: - I Will Never

The light of the red lotus like hell covers my sight.

The roar rocks the labyrinth and the hot wind blows.

After the explosion subsided, the room was filled with the smell of burning with the explosive smoke.

"... somehow, did it work"

Out of the blast, I squirmed at the outcome of the operation with a rough breath.

A measure that exploited Dionis' alarm and overconfidence - which forced him to bear a considerable burden, he succeeded safely.

"... eh"

Face the broken right arm of the bone with impossible physical strengthening and swallow the potion.

Drink it and leave it for a few seconds, and the pain in your right arm and all of your body's muscles that hurt during the battle is alleviated slightly.

"Are you okay, Io!"

The water serpent had disappeared when Dionis was blown away with demonic eyes.

Elfi rushes over here with Totetote because of the lack of blockage.

"Oh. I can handle it."

Before entering the labyrinth, measures were contemplated to defeat Dionis.

Elphi proclaims the activation of the Devil's Eye aloud, and with that gap I do damage to Dionis, stabbing a stop with Elphi's Devil's Eye.

There was a little obsession with Elphi's proclamation, but I'm glad Dionis didn't notice anything.

"Reinforced magic overlay... sounds like a lot of strain on you"

"If I waved my sword with all my might, my bones would have shattered at the same time. I drank potion, so it healed quickly."

If you can't do it in that state, don't die on a boulder.

On top of the "triple acceleration", it is possible to do the overlay again, but let's never do it.

"... have you finished?"

Point to the smoke explosion and ask Elfi.

And Elfi shook his head and answered.

"If the life force of a ghost tribe, it would be to the extent of fatal injury. A few of my hands and feet may have blown up."

"Oh, I'm relieved"

If you're dead in that explosion, you can't stop thinking about me.

Let me gently heal you in the potion so you don't die soon, and let me avenge you carefully.

Thanks to the potion, I feel my body damage healing.

It's good to have all the top potions.

"Well."

Just now, the smoke explosion ahead is also fitting in.

See how much damage Dionis is taking.

For Karen's sake, I'll collect the Necessary Stone as well.

It was the moment I made sure my arm bones recovered and got up.

"Yi-hh."

Elfi, who turned his gaze to the smoke explosion, changed his blood phase and tried to scream something.

But shortly after he opened his mouth, Elfi, who was right next door, disappeared.

"Elfi!?"

No, you're not.

A little behind where I stood until then.

Multiple swords were piercing Elfi's abdomen when he got to his knees.

"What...!"

Attacked.

The moment I understood that fact and tried to jump away.

"... ugh!?"

A sword flew in from the smoke, scraping the meat off his left leg.

out of balance and fall to the ground.

"but..."

The first visit was a fever.

Hot.

Another heat from being broiled in the fire.

"Gu...... ugh"

The moment I saw the puckered open wound, the fever turned to severe pain.

Nerves and bones running through the body peek from between the chosen flesh.

With so much intense pain, my vision flashes white again and again.

Eat and tie your teeth to the point where they are missing, and try to reach for the potion in your hand -

"Ha... ha...!?"

Hum and wind cutting noise.

Subsequently, it was sewn to the ground by a sword with a right hand that had reached for the porch and flown in.

I can see the blade piercing through the back of my hand.

The sword that was stuck in his hand disappeared without a trace, wondering if it glowed for a moment.

All that's left is the right hand with the hole.

"What... what is this?"

"... I lost track of what I did. It's the exclusive patent for miscellaneous fish to cheat on small craftsmen."

From the smoke explosion, Dionis showed up.

"Nah...!?"

Elfi's demon eye should have hit him straight.

Even so, that body had no damage from the explosion.

The wound I cut and tore is already blocked.

Stupid.

There are possible reasons for eating that and not getting hurt...

"... it would be nice to keep this on."

It was a single bill that Dionis took out of his nostalgia to answer this question.

At the next moment, that bill burns up black, worn out and ashed.

"" The Talisman of Substitution ". I wonder if you remember. It's a magic gift (magic item) that was supposed to be given to you before you boarded the castle. [M] It's good to keep your hands in your pockets just in case."

"I wanted to get my gear... I knew it was your fault...!"

"I shouldn't be the one who hates you. I saved your life because of your lack of hope."

Dionis waves.

Shortly afterwards, a sword abruptly appeared behind it.

That, for one, fired like a bullet at me.

"... ugh."

Move your body with your available left hand and right foot and take evasive action.

I can't cut it off, I get my left shoulder chopped to the blade.

"Ha... duh"

Visual distortion as if intoxicated by the severe pain determined by the blade.

What the hell is he doing...!?

"Nothing in particular to say to Amatsu's smallworker...... yeah, elphiszark. You're good."

Dionis' gaze is directed towards Elphi.

It was an elfi that was supposed to have been pierced through the abdomen by multiple blades, but at some point the sword had disappeared.

It was the body that was pierced, and it doesn't seem to have taken that much damage.

"That demon eye, it's great power. Much worse for you during the whole season... but still made me use the insurance that has been untouched for the last thirty years. I'm surprised. Sorry, I was licking you."

"... shut up"

- So let me show you all I can do.

Dionys' wrapped atmosphere changes.

There's a wind blowing in the room that's supposed to be sealed.

"First, the first. Proof that I'm the strongest of the ghosts."

Dionis' forehead - a change appeared in the corner that was covered in forehead and invisible.

The sound of a vacuum and something ringing.

Shortly afterwards, Dionis' horn stretched to the length of the knife's body.

"- Haunted." Temporarily increases physical abilities and magic power to the extreme, the mystery of the Haunted Clan. A long time ago, the technology was passed down when the ghosts were still part of the Demon King's Army. There was no one in the current ghost clan who could use it - but I reached this point!! "

The amount of magic that was leaking from Dionys increases dramatically.

I could see the thin figure getting bigger around.

"... the secret that the former Four Heavens King" Vajra "used."

Do you have any idea, Elfi shrugged with a rugged look.

"It's not over yet."

Dionis took his gaze off Elfi and looked at me.

Lifting his face in dignity, Dionis gives a hateful look.

"I never cared. At that party, I was the only one who didn't reach the pole of magic."

"... what?"

"You had an inherent magic trick that used The Testimony of the Brave. Lewsas was able to use Lost Magic. Lucifina was a user of" elephant magic ". I'm the only one who didn't have anything."

But that was thirty years ago, Dionis said in a cat stroke.

"Research into research, experiment with a large number of humans, and add arrangements so I can use them!!... I got there. Ahead of the magic pole."

Magic gathers around Dionis.

And, as proud, Dionis uttered the name of the sorcery.

"-" Loss Magic (Lost Magic) - Breaking Blade Loading (Blade/Trigger) "-"

That moment.

A number of swords over thirty appeared around Dionis.

Having seen it up close, I finally realized who the sword appeared abruptly to be.

I wasn't hiding my sword somewhere.

Dionis is his own sorcery, creating a sword instantly (...).

"Loss magic......"

Loss magic.

Alongside elephant witchcraft, the Great Sorcery is considered the reach point of witchcraft.

The pole of witchcraft that many magicians aspire to.

Dionis, wearing it, screams.

"Now I will outdo you guys once!!"

At the same time as the scream, the levitating sword is directed at me.

All swords were ejected like bullets as Dionis waved his arms down.

"... ugh."

"- You heal your wounds!"

Immediately after countless filiations were brilliant.

With the scream, Elfi jumped in front of me.

"-" Demon Arm/Broken ""

Using magic claws, Elfi hits a sword storm.

Every time Elphi's arm is waved, multiple swords are bounced off, becoming particles of magic and extinguishing.

Not even a single sword can reach me for that onslaught.

"Hmm. Doesn't make a difference to a series of water bullets."

"... right?"

A new sword is created additionally and Dionis fires.

I understood when I saw Dionis' maliciously distorted expression at the end of the sword storm.

- I suck at that.

"Shut up, Elfie Yikes!!"

"It's late, cursory!!"

Countless swords that flew in.

That was just before Elfi played it with his nails.

All of it emits a similarly disastrous light.

"-" Destroyer (Blake Magic) ""

A delightful, Dionys chant reached my ear.

Immediately after.

All swords exploded, vision stained white.

◆

"El...... fi...!"

Blown up by a blast, rolling down the ground, I understood what had happened.

That sword that Dionis is producing.

It's all magic items.

A sword enclosed with magic inside - so naturally, you can explode it using the "demon of destruction".

There is something out of the standard, such as creating magic grants (magic items) with your own magic power alone.

The sword itself has disappeared in seconds without being able to maintain its magic, but it is nevertheless vicious enough, given the power of the "demon of destruction".

"Ugh... Gu"

At the end of his sight, he saw Elfi with a large burn all over his body.

I'm on my knees, and I'm about to fall.

"I can't believe I didn't die eating that one, former demon king of boulders!... compared to the former brave man."

"Oh... hey"

Almost intact Dionis laughs pointing this one at her.

"Haha, Amatsu. Are you still going to fight?"

"Around... before."

"A heart that doesn't give up is important, but sometimes it's important to see reality, huh?"

Needless to say, the situation sucked.

I haven't been able to heal the wounds that were decided with my sword yet.

Elfi had eaten the explosion moro as well and was taking a lot of damage.

... what to do.

How can we turn this situation upside down?

I can't move without healing the wounds on my hands and feet, like I do first.

Can Dionis wait for it?

... Impossible.

Deploy the Demon Deception (Il Atalaxia) in the hands of those who are safe.

... I can't.

Not strong enough to prevent loss magic (Lost Magic).

Then to Elfi......

No, it's impossible.

Eat that explosion moro, Elfi can't move.

"... ugh."

"See, Amazu? Your loss."

"Dionysu...!"

"Hahahahahahahahaha!!"

The effect of the persistent potion has healed the wound slightly.

If you buy time, at least until your legs heal with this potency...!

"Amazzu! I have a good suggestion, you hear me?"

"... what?"

"Crawling to the ground, licking the floor at the top, 'I wasn't a hero's vessel. I'm an incompetent cunt who can't do anything without the power of borrowing.' If I apologize, I'll only save your life?"

"Just kidding...... ugh"

No... wait.

This is your chance.

If we please him and heal his wounds in the meantime...

"Ugh."

"but...... ahhh!?"

Moment after moment, a sword pierced my right leg.

to the impact, rolling down the ground with blood scattered.

"hahahahahaha"

Dionis laughs out loud, pointing at me and holding my belly.

"- You can't help me!? I wonder why I can unconditionally believe what others are saying? I don't understand."

"... ugh."

"It's not worth living for you. But..."

Except for you, Dionis glanced at Elfi.

- Except for you, the former Demon King.

"... to"

"I will make you the Demon King. I want you to cut your balls off and work with me."

Elfi yelled back at the suggestion.

"Bullshit... don't do it!"

"I got overwhelming power, but this isn't enough. I understand that in this fight. You deserve to work with me."

"Who... you are...!"

"No, we'll put it together. You are."

Oh man, after a tone that tells a deafening child.

On Elphi's chest, a sword pierced him.

"but...... phew"

"Me and Amatsu. I'll teach you which is smart to work with."

Dionis approaches the fallen elphi.

It was done from there.

It wasn't even a fight, it was unilateral violence.

◆

"You want revenge on Orteguia, don't you? Actually, I wanted to kill Orteguia, too."

First both eyes of Elphi were slashed into one letter.

The demon eye is sealed and Elfi groans.

"You look weak. Come on. You don't care."

Then again and again, Dionis slashed Elfi's body with a sword.

"The demon king's army is laughing at me in the shadows. That's unforgivable. So I will kill the Demon King and show him my power. I'll make you regret it.... but I don't want to be the Demon King. It's a pain in the ass."

A small knife or so sword stirs Elfi's abdomen.

"So if you help me, the Demon King's throne will give way to you. Elphiszark. Elphiszark van (...) Gildegard"

Van.

That is a title given only to the Demon King.

Dionis whispers repeatedly as he chooses Elfi with his zakuza and sword.

I want you to be one of me.

"If you're going to put me together, I'll treat the injuries I caused you right away. I also apologize for your men I killed. I have some information about your men, and I can tell you that."

I'm kidding.

But to help Elfi, when I try to move, the sword flies in no time.

It was best to avoid fatal injuries.

I can't do anything about it.

Now you're healing your wounds...

"That's amazing. The torn eyeballs are already healed. This is the power of the top demons, isn't it? Killing me doesn't seem like a lie."

So Dionis slashed and tore both eyes of Elphi again.

"... ugh."

Elfi doesn't scream, he just leaks his creepy voice.

"Over the last thirty years, I've learned in the process of making slaves. How strong the will was, you can't beat the pain. I can't resist the fear of death. Everyone cares most about themselves."

Shaking very hard, Dionis whispers gently to Elfi on the other hand.

"I have nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone does. You betray Amatsu, and no one will attack you."

…………

"I hate to hurt. It's the same for everyone. So, huh?"

…………

"Here you will be swung by me, and here you will be again on the throne of the Demon King about me. You would know which is the smarter choice. [M] Elphiszark Van Gildegard. Don't you want to name this name again?"

- So join hands with me.

How many times would Dionis have whispered that to Elfi?

He chooses his eyes, stabs his whole body with a sword, and scratches his guts with a blade.

Eventually, Elfi opened his mouth.

"... really"

"... hmm?"

"Really... will you make me the Demon King?"

With a fine voice, I heard Elfi do that.

――――

My thoughts stop.

"Absolutely. If you kill the amatsu rolling there with your hand, admit it's one of mine."

Elfi was freed.

Wounded all over his body and roughened his breath, Elfi turned his gaze here.

Slashed and torn eyes, almost healing.

"... el, fi"

――――

"Elfi...... ugh!"

Call.

But no reply.

"Hahaha! We just betrayed you, but you're not making much progress! Thirty years later, I can't believe you still don't understand! Why don't you know!? scumbags like you, they just throw it away when it's worthless to use!!"

"... ah..."

Elfi gets up.

He's looking at me.

Reduce your eyes and activate the Demon Eye.

Kill me.

".................. ugh"

The risks were tolerated.

I also fully understood the possibility of this happening.

But like this.

But... does Elfi help?

Because of his mouth, if it's true that he's using Elphi.

If he's going to help...

Stupid.

Even if this place survives, all he's waiting for is a future that will be crushed and killed.

Shit, what am I thinking?

You can't die here.

I haven't done my revenge yet.

I am.

Am I going to die of betrayal again?

"It's strange in the first place to get used to even avengers. Amatsu, you wanted someone to lick the wound, didn't you? So, well, you believe me, don't you? Too bad! As a result, you will be betrayed again!"

The mockery echoes.

"Iwo"

――――

"I can't end up here."

Die.

That was the moment I thought so.

"-But if it's enough to betray your people, it's better to die."

"Is...?"

Guru and Elfi looked back in momentum.

At the end of that gaze is Dionys with a frightened expression.

The light of the Red Lotus blew out Dionys.

To me, Elfi comes near me.
