Ending Maker Episode 416
Chapter 8 – Intensification #3
A star falls from the sky.
A rain of fireworks covers the sky of the royal capital.
Crown Princess Daphne opened her eyes to the rain hitting her cheeks.
A dark, dark sky came into view with a dull head and blurry vision.
A cold rain was pouring down from the sky covered with pitch-black clouds.
star.
Rain of fire.
“ah…….”
A dull voice and white breath came out at the same time, and sensation gradually returned to my cold, wet body.
“Ugh… … .”
The first thing that came to mind was pain.
On the cold, hard stone floor.
Crown Princess Daphne was buried in the rubble.
Blood mixed with rain flowed through his hair, and beneath the debris covering his arms and legs, his body was bruised and blue, broken and swollen in various places.
“Haa… … . Ha… … .”
Crown Princess Daphne, breathing shallowly through her blue lips, clenched her teeth at the screams and cries coming from beyond the curtain of heavy rain.
The memories continued.
Stars rained down from the sky, and pieces of the broken stars covered the royal capital.
The defenses of the royal capital were hastily put into operation, but they were not enough to completely block the disaster from heaven.
Screams and roars.
The collapsing palace and the burning royal city.
“Ahh… … . Ugh… … .”
Crown Princess Daphne pulled herself up from the rubble.
After tearing off the hem of my dress, which was torn and wet here and there and getting in my way, I looked around.
Corpses were strewn among the rubble.
Beyond the walls, flames rose up into the sky even in the pouring rain.
And foreign media.
Monsters in the form of gigantic beasts that trample the royal road.
“Dion… … .”
Crown Princess Daphne found Prince Dion lying at her feet.
He was bleeding from his head, but luckily he was breathing.
Perhaps it was thanks to the defensive magic that Dion used at the moment when the palace was collapsing that his life was saved.
Crown Princess Daphne looked straight ahead again, sitting next to the unconscious Dion.
The walls of the royal palace were visible, broken and damaged by the onslaught of stars, but still standing.
But Crown Princess Daphne trembled with fear.
I couldn’t control my trembling hands, and I cried like a child without realizing it.
The star attack wasn’t scary.
It wasn’t because of the huge foreign media that was trampling on the royal road.
A being that exists beyond the walls.
Anyone coming straight towards this place.
A crack appeared in the wall.
In the heavy silence created by the heavy rain, the castle walls that had stood for 300 years were uttering their final words.
It breaks.
The wall is collapsing.
Pushed by such a huge force.
Just as an anthill collapses with every step a human takes.
It rained heavily.
A gigantic being appeared beyond the collapsed castle walls beneath the thunder that covered the sky.
It was a man.
He was a giant with a body covered in scars.
“The dragon of the… … sky… .”
Crown Princess Daphne saw the man for the first time.
But I could tell who the man was.
That was truly the source of all fear.
Quagga River!
He took a step forward amidst the thunder.
He was truly a god, able to summon rain and lightning.
Crown Princess Daphne shivered.
I had to do something to stop him from approaching, but I couldn’t.
Not even a single sound could escape from the mouth that was forcibly opened.
And it was the same for everyone else.
The knights and soldiers who rose from the rubble failed to fulfill their duty.
Those with weak gall burst into tears, and even those who were not so weak could only tremble and not move.
The dragon of the sky continued to advance forward.
Crown Princess Daphne clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
Even as I cried uncontrollably, I finally got up from my seat and stepped on the ground.
The dragon of the sky saw Crown Princess Daphne like that.
Despite the considerable distance between them, the blood-red dragon’s eyes met Crown Princess Daphne’s blue ones.
Crown Princess Daphne peed her pants.
A suffocating pressure squeezed her chest and throat roughly, as if demanding the price of looking into the dragon’s eyes.
But Crown Princess Daphne did not give up.
I stood with trembling legs and faced the dragon of the sky.
It was meaningless resistance.
Just facing it was not enough to drive away the dragon of the sky.
But Crown Princess Daphne did not back down, and the Dragon of the Heavens stopped walking for a moment.
“The Queen of Lions.”
He is still young and weak, but he is clearly a king.
The dragon of the sky liked her.
But that was it.
There was no option to turn back, considering her courage.
The wish of Airia, the goddess of the broken world, was connected to the wishes of not only the dragons of the heavens, but also his people.
The Worldstone was something I absolutely had to get my hands on.
The dragon of the sky took another step forward.
Crown Princess Daphne let out a ragged breath and drew the sword at her waist.
Lightning struck.
The sky flashed and the belated thunder shook the royal capital.
And that’s why I could see it.
The appearance of foreign correspondents under the white sky.
The sight of a pure white sword wrapped in cold air cutting through the neck of a giant foreign body.
The dragon of the sky stopped walking.
Crown Princess Daphne also saw the news of the fallen foreign body, losing its head.
The rain poured down.
And once again a silent bombardment of light exploded over the heads of the foreign press.
Wings of pure white light that could be clearly seen even in the darkness rose like stars in the night sky of the royal capital.
Crown Princess Daphne could tell who they were.
A pure white angel who wields the sword of light and extreme swordsmanship that can cut through the throats of foreigners.
That’s why I shed tears again.
I shed tears, recalling hope rather than fear and horror.
Because their appearance also meant his appearance.
He is coming.
To face the dragon of the sky.
No, I want to clear away the black sky that covers the royal capital.
“A heart of steel, an unyielding will, a peerless physique.”
The dragon of the sky also knew him.
The only man Ayria feared in the Pleiades, where Uther and Cordelia disappeared.
An invincible hero who has performed miracles countless times.
“Landius.”
Warrior of the sun.
The glory of the morning that drives away the night will be with him.
Landius swung his Solar Blade towards the sky.
A golden flash dispelled the darkness of the royal capital.
* * *
A black and huge deity was formed.
He took on a single form in front of Cordelia and the witch.
A noble and beautiful black moon beast.
It was like a hunting dog and like a wolf.
The black beast, which looked to be at least three meters tall at the shoulder, had green eyes like Uther’s.
Cordelia raised her head and met the beast’s eyes.
The green eyes set in the pitch-black, flawless darkness reflected Cordelia’s blue ones.
I could tell without you saying anything.
It was Yuder.
Even though the form had changed, Cordelia could tell.
“It was a real beast?”
You always call me an animal.
When Cordelia said that as if it were a joke, the black beast- Uther laughed playfully and licked Cordelia’s cheek with his large tongue.
Because the size difference was so great, Cordelia’s small face was instantly covered in spit, but instead of getting angry, Cordelia burst into laughter.
“Like a puppy.”
Instead of joking around again at Cordelia’s comment, Uther quietly lowered his posture.
It was always fun to laugh and chat with Cordelia, but now I had to hurry.
“Okay, let’s go.”
Cordelia climbed onto Uther’s back as he lay face down on the floor.
The jet-black fur was so soft, and the body filled with solid muscles made me think it was Yuda.
“I think you know what to do even without me telling you.”
Cordelia nodded at the witch’s words, and Uther slowly sat up.
Uder, who had opened up his divinity, could tell.
Not only the direction in which the Pleiades are located, but also how far away they are.
[Hold on tight, Cordelia.]
Cordelia lowered her posture a little more, hugged Yuder’s neck tightly, and whispered in a very small voice at the sound of Yuder’s voice directly in her head.
“Beast Combination Yudelia?”
Uther laughed again.
I felt like I could overcome any crisis as long as I had my own sun with me.
[let’s go.]
“Okay, let’s go.”
Towards the Pleiades.
After greeting the witch with his eyes, Yuder raised his head and looked at the sky – beyond the world.
He activated the power of the Nine Heavens and Nine Gates while in the form of a beast.
Along with the thunder that shook the heavens and earth, pitch-black lightning shot up.
* * *
Iria looked at the royal capital with impatience.
Landius.
Warrior of the sun.
Invincible hero.
A miraculous being created by the Pleiades.
A human monster.
He was truly like the sun.
He was a being who performed miracles several times even in the midst of deep, dark despair.
That is why his appearance aroused conflicting feelings in the two goddesses.
The young god Atalia clasped her hands together and smiled with a tearful smile.
Iria gritted her teeth and exhaled roughly.
Landius and the Dragon of Heaven advanced towards each other.
Human heroes and aliens clashed head-on.
Iria thought.
Up to this point, everything is as calculated.
Landius’s existence was an unmissable variable.
That is why Landius was at the center of all the plans made by Iria.
So I could calm down.
He was able to maintain his composure even in the face of the shining hero of the sun who seemed poised to dispel the darkness of not only the royal capital but also the entire Pleiades.
Everything is going as planned.
Everything is as I first thought.
Iria’s own wish will come true.
Iria’s thinking wasn’t entirely wrong.
In fact, the fighting in the royal capital had only just begun, but it was proceeding almost exactly as Iria had drawn up the blueprint.
The system wasn’t much different either.
The soul of the first sword discovered by foreign media was playing a role beyond what was expected.
He was advancing towards the horizon and was rapidly growing stronger even at this moment.
The Holy Kingdom of Eudellia would be fine too.
It was Musin who headed there.
Unless it was Landius, no mortal could ever stand against his sword.
So Iria smiled.
To calm myself down a little more, to ease my mind, I diverted part of my consciousness that had been heading to the royal capital to the sacred kingdom of Eudelia.
And Iria let out a blank voice.
I was astonished at the sight I could never have imagined.
* * *
Count Chase knew.
Who is your best friend fighting against right now?
What kind of being are you fighting?
But I wasn’t worried.
I never even thought about joining and fighting together.
Because Count Chase knew.
It’s complete because Yuna came back.
What I realized when Yuna came back.
So Count Chase’s own role was not to fight alongside Count Bayer.
It was to block out all obstacles so that his friend could fight to his heart’s content.
“It’s always my job to clean up after myself.”
His voice was mixed with complaints, but his face was smiling.
And Count Bayer was also smiling.
His sword was pushing against the divine sword of the god of war.
The reason was simple.
When I met Yuna again, I looked back on my past through her.
Count Bayer realized what he had forgotten.
I was able to understand what it took to take another step toward the horizon.
Sword of the Wind.
Nothing was decided.
There were no limits.
A strong wind blew.
Count Bayer’s sword once again pushed against the god of war’s sword, and the one-armed god had no choice but to take a big step back.
Maia saw Count Bayer.
Count Bayer felt Maia’s gaze but paid no attention.
I took a powerful step forward, thinking of Yuna’s face.
“The wind is always- free.”
There was no shame.
He swung his sword with a shameless smile.
Towards the horizon that is right before your eyes.
The sword of wind galloped.
A storm raged.
