#308
“Well, marriage…?!”
Iril’s eyes widened. The daze that had been messing with her head suddenly flew away.
marriage? Did you just say you got married? What do I know?
It was about a minute later that she, who had been mute, was able to speak again.
“Well, hey… So… So, yes, it’s not like I don’t like Schlieffen at all. Should I say it was a little too sudden…”
Iril stammered. Her white face was as bright as a peach. Schlieffen was still holding her close and not letting her go.
“Well… what good is an ordinary woman like me in the first place? Her face isn’t that shiny either, like the nobles… and she’s much older than Schlieffen. “I’m sure you’ll get tired of it quickly…”
“No, I felt it from the moment I first saw you… You are the only one who owns my heart.”
Schlieffen muttered as if he were drunk. It was a blow as powerful as his sword skills. The near-lethal amount of blood he had lost allowed him to utter the words that came to him without passing through his brain.
“Ah, baby Cha-am…”
Iril covered his cheek with both hands. I never thought I would hear something like this from my younger brother’s friend. Unable to overcome her shame, she buried her face in Schlieffen’s shoulder.
“Well, where did you learn to say that? “At best, she’s the same age as our Ronan… but I can’t make fun of an older woman!”
“i love you.”
“Again, like that again!”
Iril couldn’t bear it anymore and hit Schlieffen’s chest. If she listened any longer, her face got so hot that she felt like she was going to explode. The savior who was watching the two clenched his fists.
“···This is a novel feeling again. “I don’t know why, but I wanted to kill that guy named Schlieffen.”
“You have to be patient.”
Adeshan stopped him. It was a reaction no different from that of the soldiers who served with her in the past and whose daughters she had. The savior hesitated.
“I know. I don’t deserve it. “It’s a good thing for him that I couldn’t be a father to Iril.”
No matter how high the lover’s level was, my father’s feeling was that he wanted to break his legs first. Iril, unable to bear it any longer, shook off Schlieffen.
“Well, I understand… I understand, so let’s get treatment first! Oh my god, how can I get hurt like this…”
I felt fine, but I couldn’t stay like this forever. dump. As soon as Schlieffen was separated from her Iril, she fell to the floor.
“Uh… Mr. Schlieffen?”
Iril was embarrassed. She felt like a puppet whose strings had been cut. The result was very different from what I expected, which was that I would stand up and smile awkwardly. She blinked her eyes and quickly shook Schlieffen’s body.
“Shoo, Mr. Schlieffen? Come to your senses! Mr. Schlieffen!”
Schlieffen did not answer. His consciousness had been lost since he was hit in the chest by Iril, who was already shaking.
It was dark.
Still, his expression seemed relieved, perhaps because he had said everything he wanted to say. Iril, who sat him down whimpering, had tears in his eyes.
“Oh my god, look at this blood! Lord, you must not die…!”
The sound of breathing was so faint that it could hardly be heard. A puddle of dark red blood had accumulated where he sat. Each and every wound from the fight with the archbishops was large and deep.
Schlieffen’s body, which had reached its limit, was no longer willing to match its master’s bravado. She was trying to stop the bleeding by tearing Iril’s clothes.
Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared over the heads of the two people.
“He’s not dead.”
“···yes?”
Iril raised his head and raised his eyebrows. A huge were tiger was looking down at them. Iril, seeing her familiar face, covered her mouth.
“Ji, Jipa!”
“It’s Jaifa. “I’m glad you seem to be safe.”
Jaifa sighed. As soon as he woke up from his hallucination, he ran to where he heard the two voices. Soon, Jaifa realized the situation and nodded while looking at Iril.
“···Right. Was it your ability?”
I only remembered him as a beautiful human being, but I never expected that he possessed such tremendous power. After being silent for a moment, he opened his mouth.
“thanks.”
“yes? What···?”
Iril tilted his head in sudden gratitude. She didn’t even know that she was putting people to sleep.
Jaipa did not bother to explain that she was grateful for being able to spend happy time with her dead son, even if only for a moment.
“There is such a thing.”
“Well, I don’t know what it is, but I’m glad I was of help. “More than that, Mr. Schlieffen…!”
“If that’s the case, don’t worry. “Because the medical team is already here.”
After saying that, Jaipa pointed behind him with his thumb. I saw people waking up from hallucinations. Like them, Sita, who had just come to her senses, was stretching.
“Bwauuung…”
“Hey, bird. “When you have had enough sleep, heal my disciple.”
Zaifa said. Animals come to their senses faster than humans. Seeing that the surroundings were covered with injured people, Sita spread her four wings wide.
“Ttaaa!”
Red ripples spread out. Paaaa…! All the blood scattered on the battlefield became drops and floated. The blood, individually sorted, began to return to the bodies of its owners.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu….”
“Blood, blood…?”
One by one, the dying people began to come to their senses. Seriously injured people with unusually deep wounds received special treatment.
A red energy that heals wounds enveloped Schlieffen’s body. His wounds healed and his bones fused together. Iril let out an exclamation after confirming that his breathing was stable.
“Everything, I’m glad…thank you!”
“You can thank him when he wakes up. “Because he literally risked everything to save you.”
“Well, like that…”
Jaifa turned around, leaving the dumbfounded Iril behind. There was still work left to do. On the battlefield where vitality had returned, those who had fallen were waking up again.
“I see…Balzac. “Was it a dream?”
【Hahaha! How do you feel, Navardose? Do you understand that this Mr. Orsay is a true loser…Hmm?】
“Hehe… This is the first time since I reached the 9th Circle that I have completely lost consciousness.”
The main forces of the Allied Forces also opened their eyes one by one. As soon as they came to their senses, they took part in the battle against the giants. Asher, who belatedly realized that he was wielding the protection of a huge star, let out a scream.
“Hehehe! “Is this what I’m doing right now?!”
“Wow, that’s amazing. Asher.”
It didn’t take long for the battle lines to come together. Adeshan helped the people come to their senses, gave the necessary commands, and collected the shadow’s mana.
‘···Is this enough?’
I used so much of my abilities that I felt dizzy. It was the car where she caught her breath. The savior next to her coughed violently.
“Cough! “Wow!”
“Are you okay?”
The amount of blood being vomited was unusual. The savior, who had been shaking his upper body several times, raised his hand to indicate that he was okay. He barely succeeded in calming down and asked Adeshan.
“Now that’s enough…huh, you’re dating my son, right?”
“···yes?”
Adeshan’s face lit up at the sudden question. How should I answer this? After her hesitation, she bit her lower lip.
“······For now, yes. “It’s not exactly me, though.”
“You can’t fool blood. Hehe, I was also crazy about her wife’s long, black hair…”
“Why did you suddenly ask that?”
“I wanted to tell you to take good care of my son. “I feel like I don’t have much time left now.”
The Savior smiled. Adeshan twisted his lips in a somewhat reassuring smile.
is it. It didn’t look good when I first saw it, but that’s how it ended up being. The savior continued.
“I have to go to the battleship. I already brought it, so I need to use it up enough. “What are you going to do?”
“I’ll be there soon too.”
Adeshan answered without making eye contact. The savior smiled once again and trudged up the steps. She was letting out a roar as if the battleship Dain Har, which was stuck on the ground, was about to take off at any moment.
Beyond that, the battle became even more intense. A storm of elements spewed out from the dragons’ mouths and swept across the sky and earth. Every time a spear of light crossed the sky, several dragons were falling one by one.
“···Is it okay now?”
Adeshan, looking at the back of the savior, sighed. After making sure no one was watching her, she sat down against a rock nearby. Her legs were shaking and she could no longer stand.
‘Thank goodness. ‘I can fulfill my duty before it’s too late.’
Adeshan, who was watching the battle with the giant, smiled slightly. It seemed like a match, but it would soon be decided. The constant roaring sound indicated that the fight had reached its peak.
It seemed like there was nothing more for him to do. She wiped her face like Ade Shan washed her face. She mumbled, placing her hand on her chest as she caught her breath.
“I don’t have much time left… the same goes for me.”
I was in no position to worry about my savior. She felt her consciousness fading little by little. The stars were brilliant in the night sky when the clouds had disappeared. Adeshan focused his gaze on the brightest star and quietly recited.
“Seniel…are you done now?”
****
『This is such a ridiculous thing…』
The king of giants muttered. Connections with compatriots were rapidly being lost. He could feel that there were less than ten giants left, including himself.
“It doesn’t make sense if it doesn’t make sense.”
At that time, I heard a familiar voice at my feet. The king reversed his sword and took a defensive stance. Kaaaaang-! A sharp metallic sound rang out.
“How dare you stop me again?”
Ronan clicked his tongue. She didn’t like the quickness of her movements on the topic of everyone dying. Having brought down the king, he was conducting the battle on ground that was advantageous to him.
Kagagak! La Mancha, who was clashing with the great sword, was thrown out again, and at the same time, dozens of embers bloomed in the air. The king took a step back without realizing it.
『How dare a mortal…!』
The king gritted his teeth. Unlike himself, who was getting weaker, Ronan was getting stronger. As time passed, the curse remaining in his body was slowly melting away like a snowy field welcoming spring.
【Blow it away, Ronan!】
At that time, Navardose’s voice rang out from the sky. She was alone dealing with hundreds of familiars summoned by the king. Every time crimson flames swept the sky, the beasts made of light turned into particles and disappeared.
They were of a different class from the familiars of other giants, but they were simply surprising. The king, who was aiming for a few more sums, grabbed the hilt of his sword.
“cheeky···.”
If I was pushed like this, there would be no answer. Ronan was still sticking to his strategy of aiming for excessive bleeding, so the longer the fight went on, the more disadvantaged he was.
‘···Should we retreat?’
I felt ashamed just thinking about it, but there was no other way. If he brought back the power he had gathered on his home planet, he could have taken care of these scum in an instant, but it was too wasteful to use it to devour just a small star.
It was the moment when the agonized king was about to make a decision. An eerie sensation came over him, as if someone was stroking his heart.
『What.』
I couldn’t understand the English text. Someone was touching his source of power. The king took a deep breath and looked up at the sky.
Something was happening beyond the magic circle connected to my hometown. Soon, the king noticed the presence of an intruder and sighed.
“Abel···!”
