Miss Gudazi, who almost became a walker, is saving humanity

"...Even so, there is still work to be done."

Mary said softly.

She walked to the window of the room and looked in the direction of the city gate.The room they were in was provided by the mayor of the city for Giorgios and Siegfried to take refuge, and it had an excellent view overlooking the whole city.It is precisely because this house is in this position that Siegfried was able to stop the Phantom of the Opera before.

"Everyone, don't worry! Line up in two rows and take your time!"

"Don't be crowded! Let the wagons with women and children go first!"

Relying on her hearing as a [Heroic Spirit] and a [Servant], even standing here, Mary could clearly hear the voices of the soldiers ordering the retreat.Is it because they don't know that the strongest evil dragon is coming here?But Mary always felt that they would continue to act like this even if they knew.

"It seems that the evacuation went smoothly."

"yes……"

Giorgios also went to the window and looked out.

"This city was originally developed as a military fortress. The mayor also chose to hide us on the basis of knowing our true identity. He is preparing for a counterattack, so I hope we can be the force to protect the city and counterattack when the time comes. The strength stays."

"The people who fought against unreasonable misfortunes are still not going to give up...their existence is taken for granted."

Marie thought of the friend she met at this [Singularity], the girl who is now her master.

She hates unreasonable misfortune and fights against that misfortune.Maybe someone like her is more of a hero than a Heroic Spirit like myself.

Thinking about these things, she made a certain decision.

"but……"

Giorgios said with difficulty while looking at the crowd outside the window,

"Although I really shouldn't have said such a thing after being helped by the mayor of this city, we have to make a choice. Fight or retreat? If we retreat, the citizens who have not retreated may become victims, but if we fight ...I'm not sure if Ascalon is effective against that evil dragon, worst case we'll be wiped out, Siegfried can't die here."

"In that case."

Mary spoke.

Awakening was prepared long before departure, and now is the time to use it.

"As long as someone stays to block the evil dragon, it will be fine?"

"—Mary?!"

Sensing something, Joan subconsciously shouted.Mary just smiled and went on,

"Let one person stop the enemy before the citizens complete their escape, and the others go to join Amadeus and the master to complete their respective missions. It doesn't matter if the person who stays has to leave the team here. Existence, and the ability to stop the flying dragon army—well, it seems that I am the only one left.”

After hearing Mary's words, Joan of Arc and Elizabeth were stunned for a moment.

It doesn't matter how much you have experienced in life or after death. Even if the heroic spirit is a dead body, no one can keep calm when he hears his friend say that he is going to die.

"Wait, wait a minute! Mary! If there's going to be a fight, then I too—"

"Yeah, and I—"

"No way, Joan of Arc, little Yili." Mary smiled and said words of rejection, "Don't you want to come up with your own answer about the Dragon Witch? And little Yili, you I still want to make a break with you who grew up, right?"

Saying so, Marie looked at Joan of Arc.

"However, I am very happy. You are willing to think about me... Speaking of which, if you don't say it now, you might not have a chance. Jeanne, I have actually admired you since I was alive."

"……what?"

"Why are you so surprised..."

Seeing Joan's expression, Mary couldn't help laughing.

"Every girl who has lived in France will dream of it? Joan of Arc who saved France. There was such a girl in this country 300 years ago, and I became friends with her. This is really true. Makes me happy. So—”

She looked out the window.

The flying dragon is not yet visible, which is also a matter of course.No matter how fast the flying dragon flies, it won't appear in the sky right now.

However, it won't be long before the sky will be filled with flying dragons, right?

"You should go. Please leave with a smile. This is the loyalty between girls, right?"

"...we will wait for you."

"Will definitely wait!!"

"Of course. I have the master's magic power supply, so I won't lose so easily. So don't worry, I will catch up soon."

After that, everyone quickly evacuated with Siegfried, who was handicapped, while Mary waited alone at the place where the dragon army would attack.

Not long after, when many people hadn't finished evacuating, the flying dragon army had arrived at a place that Mary could see with the eyesight of her servants.She also saw an extremely fast flying dragon break away from the group of dragons and flew over first, and instead of attacking, it dropped something not far away.

If Mary was an archer, she must be able to rely on clairvoyance to see that the dragon left behind a person.

But it doesn't matter if she can't see clearly, because the man walked up to her not long after.

"...How come it's you... Charles Henry Sanson!!"

The snow-white hair and youth-like face were indeed the executioner that Mary knew, but Sanson at this moment made Mary couldn't help calling out his full name to confirm whether he was the real person.

Because at this moment, his whole body was covered with blood, and that handsome face like a boy was also stained with blood.The blood all over his body made him look neither like a human nor a heroic spirit, but more like an evil ghost from hell.

"I miss you so much, the queen with a neck as white as snow."

"I didn't expect you to be summoned too. And... look at you like this, how many people have you killed..."

"It's rude to appear in front of you in such a dirty manner, but it's all for your sake. All of this—"

From Mary's point of view, everything happened suddenly.

Obviously Mary also has B-level agility and can enter the supersonic world.But she couldn't see it, she couldn't feel it.

It doesn't matter if it's murderous, or anything else.

Yes, everything happened suddenly.

Mary was touched on the neck by the huge beheading knife in Sanson's hand without even becoming conscious.

"—All of this is to cut off your head again!!"

Even though he was able to enter the world of supersonic speed but couldn't react, it must be because he has an overwhelming lack of [experience].

Although only D's breath blocking makes Sanson unable to do even the assassin's signature [stealth], but combining it with the inherent skill called [human body research] and the agility that can also enter the supersonic world after adding madness is enough It can realize the unique skill of "disappearing from the enemy's consciousness instantly".

Although the Executioner just kept beheading immovable targets, the experience of [Beheading Humans] did make him more adaptable to fighting than Queen Mary.

Mary understood this in a brief moment and coped with it.

Don't know how to fight?Can't perform the same movements even with the same bodily functions?

Then, even if you don't know how to fight, even if you can't make the same moves, it doesn't matter to fight back.

Mary sang loudly before the beheading knife cut the neck like a giant sword.

Mary's song is a wide-area annihilation attack, and a wide-area attack can hit even if it can't keep up with the opponent's movements.Although the attack power of the song itself is relatively weak, just repelling Sanson should——

"I'm so happy, I didn't expect to hear your singing at such a close distance."

Sanson was indeed repelled--by a mere step.

It wasn't that the attack of the singing voice was ineffective against him, but that he ignored the harm the singing voice itself caused him, and slashed the beheading knife in his hand at Mary against the singing voice that kept tearing his body.

Although Mary retreated quickly, she was not used to high-speed combat and was cut by the blade, and she screamed because of the pain she had never experienced before.

"Ah, sorry."

Hearing her screams, San Song stopped instead.

"If possible, I hope you don't resist. I didn't intend to make you feel painful... As the person who wants to kill you, is it a bit strange to say this? But the death penalty itself is the liquidation of sins, so the executioner should not give The pain above that. This is not a rule, but the common sense of the executioner."

Speaking of this, he once again raised the beheading knife like a giant sword, and showed a crazy smile with dull eyes.

"So, my goal is further ahead - that is [happiness]! I hope that the prisoner who is executed by me can feel the joy of ascending to heaven at that moment! As the executioner, the [beheading] that cuts off your head must be It's my pinnacle. So I want to see you one more time and confirm with you. Mary, my beheading—"

The laughing man raised his weapon and asked questions while swinging the sword.

"Did you ascend to heaven when you were dying?!"

23. This is what I struggle with

■Towards Montluçon · Lixiang group

After hanging up the communication, Lixiang and his party immediately started to act.

They even took the risk of being discovered by the flying dragon army to find horses, and found the shortest route to Montluçon with the aid of the Chaldean map.

In order to rush to the companion's side as soon as possible.

In order to cut off the misfortune that will come.

Because he doesn't know how to ride a horse, Lixiang rides on the horse driven by Mash.

——Of course, Matthew, who has never been out much, has never learned how to ride a horse.However, as a Servant, she has a C-level [Riding] skill, which is a skill that can maximize the performance of ordinary mounts.

Kiyohime on the other side is riding Mozart's horse. Although he has no riding skills, he seems to be able to ride a horse.

To be honest, Li Xiang is very anxious, but she also understands the truth that haste makes waste.Relying on one's own ability, the current speed is the highest speed that can be reached by normal driving, even if you are in a hurry, it is impossible to speed up.

The girl could only pray in her heart that the army of flying dragons would arrive later than herself, but she also knew that this was impossible.Regardless of the fact that flying dragons are faster than horses, a dragon that can move in the air and head for Montluçon in a straight line will be faster than Tachika and the others running on the ground.

All the girl can do now is to concentrate on her journey and pray for a miracle to happen.

"Miracles don't happen that easily."

Mozart's horse stopped suddenly.

"The distance is too far. I probably won't be able to make it before Marianne is killed."

His voice and intonation sounded the same as before, but deep down there seemed to be some subtle difference.

So Matthew and Lixiang also stopped, but before Lixiang wanted to say something to Mozart, Qing Ji raised the folding fan wrapped in flames and pointed it at him.

"Explain clearly to me, or you will be burned, and will you betray your relationship?"

"...I don't have any enthusiasm for her anymore, although she was a special turning point for me."

Li Xiang gave up the plan to say something at this time, stopped in place and listened quietly.

"After Marianne appeared in the world, I was the first person to meet her. Do you know? Lixiang, she was very happy when she heard your "Suppression Summoning Theory". It is not for killing each other, but for yourself. It’s the fact that he was summoned to protect his life.”

Lixiang was indeed impressed by this.

Mary was very happy for some reason when she came to the conclusion that [you were summoned to save mankind] based on the information brought over from her previous life.

"This time I will never make mistakes again. In order to protect the cherished people and country, I must do what I should do. Marianne made such an oath in her heart, and she is ready to sacrifice her life."

"That is to say..." Matthew asked subconsciously, "Do you not want to repeat the mistakes you made in your lifetime?"

"...Who knows."

Qing Ji scattered the flames and retracted the fan.

"It's sad, it's not love."

"Where, love still exists. But we are all just fragments of the realm record tape, and to put it bluntly, they are just dead bodies. I have long been aware of this, and that's all."

Although he said that he had realized it long ago, Mozart's expression looked like he was about to cry at any time.

"However, I do feel a bit regretful... that's how it was when I was alive, and I couldn't let her listen to me playing the piano... She was seven years old and I was six years old. Since then, we have been passing each other ..."

"...So, are you going to give up?"

Seeing Mozart like this, Lixiang asked him the question he wanted to ask him when he stopped.

"Is this also helpless?"

"...There is no misfortune in this world that should be accepted. It may be helpless for you to give up here, but—"

The explosion in the control room of Chaldea, the dead bodies scattered in the flames.

The director who didn't even have the possibility of salvation, the last cry of that missing body.

La Sharitai, who was destroyed by Long Yan, also had Joan's desperate expression.

And the first, the first, the burnt out all of humanity for no apparent reason.

——There is no reason for this chain of misfortunes to continue! !

"I'm going to continue to struggle—Roman, please help me find out the straight-line distance from my current location to Montluçon. And then little eggplant... I'm going to make a fool of myself, the next thing to do is for you It's going to be a big burden, so..."

"senior."
