Alchemist Yuki's Strategy
Episode 79: Liberion and the Light of Ethereal Silver
It happened as we descended the long stairs quickly and cautiously.
At first, it was felt in the wind.
I thought the wind suddenly blew from deep underground.
The next moment, his spine trembled and his steps stopped.
- It's ripples.
Screams of the world, caused by the appearance of death and terror incarnations.
I understood intuitively that the seal had been unsealed.
"... what... wasn't the stage before you unsealed the evil gods..."
With certainty, I vomited the word.
Because you do, don't you?
There can't be such a bad sign of being there sooner.
I hallucinated the appearance of some obscure creature crawling out of the darkness of the basement.
I understood that it was a future to visit even now.
- If you don't run, you die.
That was a harsh fact.
But...
"... eh"
- Looking back, there was Tiane and Eliza, who didn't look as if they were cowards.
A rugged look, but not trembling, just Tiane with her hands on the great sword she carried, her blue, clear eyes and eyes.
We stared at each other for just a moment.
Less than a second.
I could see a little anxiety in his eyes.
The next moment, overflowing from my mouth was not a senseless scream of the terror I felt, nor was it a two-letter retreat that meant escape from terror.
"... you guys okay?
I was surprised by the sound of the usual voice, myself.
But I knew exactly what that word meant.
As the leader of Liberlion, I am responsible for the lives of my crew.
As the leader of Liberlion, I have a duty to fight with that crew even though not one of my people escapes.
As the leader of Liberlion, we can't stop walking even if we all give up.
Move forward more than anyone, and lead your people without moving no matter what.
That's Liberlion's leader. This is where I can't go without standing up.
"The impossible can pull off. I can't guarantee my life from here on out."
At the end of the gaze I asked, was the appearance of my trembling companions.
That's what I looked like when Tiane and Eliza weren't around.
I can't blame my buddies for pulling it off here, and it's normal to run away.
Fulfill...
"... oh, I'm going. The Admiral is going, as the shield of the Liberation, and we can't pull it here."
"Kouji......"
The voice is shaking slightly, but Kouji put up that dependable big shield and slapped his chest with a dong to show.
"We also... we're the only healers, and if anyone goes ahead, we're going to have to go ahead too"
"Wow, if I run away, we'll talk about who's going to scold Liberion..."
"It is my job to grasp the power of my enemies. I would have won if I had... I don't want to regret that."
"You're not going home until you help Master Mira, are you? If no one's going, I'm going alone."
"I'm here because you chose me too. Isn't it your duty as one of us to get the results you want?
Everyone is staring forward.
I said with a gentle grin that Tadato never had.
"... always count on it. That's what I said."
"Tadato, everyone..."
Second, the gaze I looked up meets Tiane.
I couldn't feel any more anxiety in those blue eyes.
"Hehe, Master Euichi. Your will seems to be strong, isn't it?
Eliza smiled.
"Euich."
Tiane comes straight at me.
That's right.
"- Come on!
"Answer!"
As usual, the next moment when everyone's dependable voice sounded
- The light of Ethereal Silver struck out the darkness.
"... hey, what's this"
That light illuminating the dark staircase, when viewed well, is emitted from the artifact given to it by Mr. Masilo.
The most glowing is the pearl golem I followed.
The light gently envelops us.
Second, the fear I was feeling faded away.
At the same time, warm forces go all over your body.
"... the boulder is Masilo. You assumed this too......!
Such a touching voice from Tierne, I can see it.
What was floating in my mouth was a bitter laugh.
"Really, what happened to Suzunomiya Mashiro..."
Whilst groaning so hard, he thanked strongly for the comfortable grant and proceeded to walk underground.
◇
I lost it and arrived in the hall.
The things I saw,
Statues of men and women falling apart.
Into the ground, shivering Miss Mira.
A blackened junction that bisects the room.
And, uh...
- It looked like a black dragon and an alien demon were fighting each other.
