The acoustics of the sword trident echo into a dim and gloomy labyrinth.
In less than a second, the sword trident, which meets with how many or how many dozens, will only appear as a spark in the eyes of the ordinary man.
There was finally a battle to follow, even with a response and sensation four to fifty times that of an ordinary person.
A fierce offense that has already lasted a minute. There is still no scratch on each other, and at first glance strength looks antagonistic.
In the meantime, I felt a strong impatience.
(Hey, why are they mutual? My current status would overwhelm you!
Oriole is a level 10 hero within a month of his resurrection, and a level enemy that can be defeated without a title boost.
But how about that, actually? I'm supposed to have a status comparable to that of a high-level adventurer with a title boost, so I'll do my best to prevent it. Oriole is dealing with me at all costs. [M] No, there was even a bare gesture that was adjusting the force to fit my limitations.
Why, why, the hell......!?
Was Oriole's wound much further than I thought it would be? Novice hunting rumors have recently begun to come up, but they were actually resuming their activities before that? Is that why you're so Oriole?
Or no way...
(Am I weak...?
Lost and upset dull my flesh. At that moment, Oriole cut my stomach shallow just to say that it was a punishment. [M]
"Guh!"
"Kane!
I can't stop distancing myself and I control Elise by hand trying to rush over.
Oriol said as he played with his sword in boredom.
"Typical farming."
"What?
"Cultivation, something like that. Your power, it's not polished with your own strength."
……
Oriole scoffed at me when I opened my eyes.
"Drawing stars. It used to be during the Great War. Only the stats were raised with the help of the strong, and the wretched soldiers were forced to storm by their enemies. All in all, they did not possess the skill to use their high stats, leaving them to their physical abilities and just sifting their weapons like children.... Sora, just like you, right?
………………
I had to bite Oriole's teeth. [M]
Everything was right. I use a sword, but to the extent that my uncle, who was an exquisite adventurer, gave me the sword's hand. Because his uncle was also a third-rate adventurer, he really only learned about swords to the extent of the basics.
There was no first-rate or even third-rate moves there, and my sword moves were an extended substitute for children's chamberlain play.
(Shit!)
I felt my sweetness. [M]
I thought it would be easy to defeat the Orioles because they are superior in status.
He said he was the boss at the beginning.
The opponent is a demon, formerly the most powerful class of existence in the spilled world that terrorized the world. He said he was a real fierce man who lived more than he did in ancient times.
(Not yet, we still have a winning chance!
Definitely inferior in skill. You can't be fat in pure combat. But there was still a chance.
Demon Sword Soul Eater. Not only does this deal the only damage against the Demon, it also has the ability to attack the Demon.
Anyway, put in an effective blow, that way the damage will also slow down the enemy's movements, and then I will be more and more in my favor.
The question is how to get a blow in...
"Well, I'm aiming for a one-shot reversal hand, you look like"
I say it like Oriole saw my mind. [M]
"It seems like you haven't given up hope yet. Very good. Keep up the good work. The more hope there is, the greater the despair!
"Kuh!"
Intercept the oriole that cuts.
I guess I'm still playing. Oriole releases a sword trident at the speed I can prevent. Desperately judging it, but exploring the oriole gap.
One blow, one blow is fine. So the battle scale leans this way.
"Sora, sora! I wonder how long we can prevent it!? We're gonna go a little faster!
"Gu!"
Oriole increases the speed of the spear, and I can't help but take a little damage. It was as shallow and damaging as slashing a thin skin, but my whole body was gradually dyeing red.
(Ma, no... not like this!
The moment I thought about it, an explosion hit Oriole's back.
It's Elise's fireball!
"No!?
Oriole sounds stunned at that blow, which turned out to be a brilliant surprise, whether she was driving Elise's existence entirely out of consciousness.
That was the first gap Oriole showed in this fight.
- Now!
I stepped in deep and slammed my full blow into the Oriole with the Devil's Sword Soul Eater.
The moment you've been waiting for. The victory has not yet been confirmed, but we saw a path to victory.
My face unwittingly distorts into joy.
"- Yeah, it doesn't work."
"Huh? Huh, yay...!
Oriole's kick slammed into the dovetail and I was slightly blown away by dozens of meters.
"Gu, yah...! Whoa, whoa, whoa!!
"Mr. Kane......!
I saw Oriole without being hard. [M]
Oriole was brilliantly intact.
(Hey, hey -)
Despair dominated my heart this time.
Wasn't the Demon Sword Soul Eater one of the few weapons that could damage the Demon Man?
That's why...
So I thought, "Ha."
Awakening event of the Devil's Sword Soul Eater by encountering Oriole in ten tiers.
That's certainly what the offensive site said.
But my soul eater doesn't see any such signs.
Yes, my soul eater was un-awakened.
Oriole walks up to me one step at a time, on my knees.
"Hehe, have you despaired? You didn't seem to know, but we demons don't get through normal attacks. Too bad......!
"Or wake up!
"Hmm?"
"Awaken! Wake up! Wake up. Wow!
I speak desperately to the Devil's Sword. The Devil's Sword still doesn't show any reaction.
"Hmm, did you feel it?... Time to get tired of it, kill it"
"!... ah, ah"
I couldn't help but feel terrified at the approaching Oriole.
Fear makes my legs twitch and I can't help getting up. I'm completely out of my hips, and I can't stand behind anything I can do.
Before me like that, Oriole shook up that black sword when she arrived lightly.
"Goodbye, then. Give your soul to the demon god, but good. - - Humanity Special Attack/Soul Slash"
And the great sword swung down.
Unexpectedly meditate on your eyes.
But even if you turn away from reality, there's no escape from imminent death.
- A fluttering shock struck my body.
"Huh?"
Open your eyes, there it was, Elise's face with a beautiful smile.
"Ke, in you"
"Ellie, ze"
I'm not sure what's going on.
Why is Elise here with me and Oriole?
And what is the light that is coming from under it?
I didn't know what one thing was.
"Hey, dude. So well, so."
"Elise......?
Kane said, "It's all right. I'm sure I can... so, yeah."
―――――――…………
"Kane, yeah."
I love you.
Whispering so small, Elise's body shifted.
"Elise!"
Supports a body that collapses. I felt a surprise in my hand. When I looked at my hand, it had red liquid I wasn't sure about.
There was a deep, too deep tear in Elise's back, which was so strange that her torso was connected.
"Ah, ah............!!
So my head finally understood that Elise had sheltered me.
"Pup, ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
I hear someone laughing. A terrible, unpleasant voice.
My head cracks. The world turns, I can't see anything. I don't know.
But I know one thing.
Oriole. Give him...
Colo
Citeya
Le.
My vision stained red like I stuck it in a flame. I can shatter my eaten back teeth. My heart beat like crazy, and my sword-shaking hand made a noise and snapped.
Anger, despair, hatred, intent to kill. Various negative emotions overflow from chest to chest from next, which flows into the Devil's Sword Soul Eater.
The crystal began to glow black, and the magic marks on her body glowed red.
"Hey, hey -?"
Oriole raises the voice of perplexity, lagging behind.
"Huh...!?
The anomaly of the sword did not only affect my appearance, but also my own.
The overwhelming amount of information flowing in from the sword. It is the memory and experience of those who once had this sword and succeeded in awakening.
All in all, they had experiences like mourning something or being unreasonably hunted down, awakening the Demon Sword Soul Eater with strong negative emotions.
Now I know why I couldn't awaken the Soul Eater until this moment.
The Demon Sword Soul Eater had one ability.
It is the ability of a successful awakener to take in his soul upon his death and to take over his knowledge and experience to the next.
The next awakener will inherit the skill of his predecessors. Moreover, because the next awakener tends to crave more and more strength for experiencing misfortune, the knowledge and skill inherited becomes more sophisticated every generation.
Thus the experience of skill, which had been vain since far away times, had now reached the point of making the bearer the supreme swordsman at the moment of awakening.
The result is a self-invasion by the Devil's Sword.
Past owners' memories and experiences push me to fill my shallow life with less than 0.0001% of them.
Still, I never let go of just one thought.
- - I love Elise.
It's the first time I've noticed it since I nearly lost it. Tell me how much you liked Elise.
But it's not too late. Elise is still alive. I do feel a heartbeat from Elise, who is still holding me like this. That was the only hope left, thanks to its enhanced status.
I can only rely on my love for Elise to endure the flurry of memories.
"No way, Demon Sword Soul Eater!? Kuck, why are you here? Why didn't you realize what would be with me!............... No, I don't care about that. Die, kid!
I guess I understood what was happening. Orioles that throw away the extra time they've had and wave down the Great Sword.
But the blow cut the sky in vain.
"Nooo!
Oriole looking back quickly. Ahead, holding Elise, 20m found me away and opened my eyes in amazement.
I was calmly observing the slow reaction, the slow behavior.
I see, Oriole is certainly far from the full season. Must be only about level 10 physically.
I guess he was compensating for it with high skill and streamlining his movements to the maximum.
But now that I've even surpassed my skill, Oriole was just a low-level boss.
"Have you inherited the experience of possession of the Soul Eater…"
Oriole stares at this one bitterly.
"Don't worry good, kid! Nor is it a power gained by one's own hands! With the power of a fig, it's worth nothing before the real thing."
"Na"
"Y"
"Things"
"What?"
"I don't care, that's not true. Die quickly for Elise."
I rolled to the ground, on Oriole's neck, and I pierced the demon's torso, the balls of his chest, with a soul eater.
This ball contains the soul of a demon. Unless we destroy this, the demon will be resurrected slowly, although it will take time. In other words, Elise's souldrain won't be released unless you break this.
The moment I destroyed the balls, I heard Oriole's terminator that I shouldn't have heard...... I felt it.
"Elise!"
I run over to Elise.
And I noticed.
Ignore.
"Elise! It's okay now"
Wake her up.
Understand reality.
Ignored.
"Oriole defeated me, I was right about Elise. It wasn't a big deal!
Shake gently.
There's no way I'm going to wake up.
There's no way I won't wake up.
"For a moment! I could have knocked him out in an instant! He ended up dead on the dumb side! He watched me!?
Elise is asleep.
As if.
Dead.
Like.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Elise was dead.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Elise was dead.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Ellie, Zee, she's dead, she's here.
- I didn't make it.
I finally understand reality. [M]
Elise doesn't wake up anymore. He won't wake up, so he won't laugh at me again, or talk to me. If you can't have sex, you can't kiss. I can't date, I can't marry, I can't hold up a child with her.
I can't be with you anymore.
Looking anywhere in the world, she's not here.
Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, a year later, but a hundred years later, but she's not here.
Those days go on forever.
Cold. My body rattles and trembles. I hugged Guh Elise. Warm. I lived just a moment ago, a sign.
I lived until just a moment ago...... Yet I can't take it back.
This is... death.
How could you... do this to me.... Why? I know that.
That's because Oriole killed her. And the reason for that... is because I overconfident myself. Because I'm overconfident, I brought Elise here. I brought her here to no avail in the Demon Wars because I wanted her to see me take down the Demon Man dressed up.
In front of the girl I like, I want to show you something cool.
That was just the reason. Of course, it didn't matter at the bottom of my heart that the world would perish if I didn't defeat Oriole.
That's really why I helped the bad guys hit me with critical criticism.
Even when I bought it from a slaver, I thought about the situation and did it to make it look good.
Because I liked Elise. When I first came to the city from the village, I couldn't wait to make Elise my own from the day I first glanced at Elise for inviting me to the inn.
And thus lost everything.
What a fool I am.
I was the one who should die.
"- That's right."
That's when my name came up abruptly to me. It was a glimmer of light, shooting into the prolonged darkness of despair.
I had a full smile. [M]
"I wish I was dead too!
It was the best idea. Such a foolish thought that I don't think you've come out of the world's stupidest me.
If you die, you can see Elise.
Without Elise, there's no point in a world like this.
"Elise would think so, wouldn't she?
I picked up Elise's firewand. [M]
And hit it on the comet.
"Fireball"
I blew my head off. [M]
