I wonder how dead he is.

How many swords were pulled out, how many incorrect answers were drawn, and how many were killed by the sword?

Naturally, it was more often killed directly by Lux.

It's natural. It is far more likely that Setsuna will be killed by then than it is that she will be able to take the sword. Given Lux's combat speed, there's nothing more to it than inevitability. Even though Setuna's eyes have begun to accustom him to the combat speed of Lux, there is no way in the flesh of an ordinary man to rival a meta-human with a war-torn cry method and a summoning weapon.

So it kills me.

Miserably, unnecessarily, without the art of exchange.

All I can do is crawl to the ground, smell death and rot, spit blood reflexes and wander around.

Still, Setuna never gave up, and the fighting spirit in him never burned out. Instead, the more they killed me, the more I burned. It was no exaggeration to say that it burned on fire and was burning just like the Red Lotus Sun.

I wonder why.

I don't even have to think about it.

Because it's Lux.

The best master is dealing with me.

He called me the best apprentice.

I have to show you the best results.

That way, if you don't respond to his thoughts, if you don't reward him, you can't die.

(You can't die... right)

He understood and recognized that Setuna still had to stick to his raw while being killed so many times that he didn't know how many times he had been killed. Do not die. Do not give up. Don't let go of my hand. We must stick to the raw at all costs and return it alive.

Loved ones wait, to this world.

(I'm still alive. He's alive)

To that end, we must overcome the trials of Lux.

Just because he was killed, because he pulled the wrong answer, doesn't mean he's stuck.

Did you pull 2,000 copies?

He comes as Lux sits on a small rock.

"They were all off, but not bad"

"Where?"

Setsuna leaned back on the spot. Unlike Lux, who wasn't even out of breath, Setuna was depleted. I'm out of strength and mental strength. Hell doesn't seem to give you endless physical and mental strength. On the road to here, what exactly is the reason you didn't know about fatigue? During the trials, those forces may be preventing them from working, or they may have been a total mistake. During the move, was there no wear and tear just the brain remembering it that way on its own?

"What's wrong with you?"

Exhale loudly.

The sky of hell is as dark as ever.

There is no light but a pillar of light visible on the other side, and absolutely equal darkness covers the heavens. The moon can't be anything but stars. There is only a wide darkness of indifference. And filling the nostrils is the smell of death, all the smell of rot and blood. The more conscious I am, the more distracting I am going to be.

"At least in this short time, you were able to tease my attack and draw 2,000 swords. You can be proud."

"Ha... funny"

"I'm not kidding."

"There are tens of thousands of them, and only 2,000 of them, and none of them are correct, and they won't even plunder the master, and there will be nothing to be proud of"

"Heh... don't you think"

"Well, I'm a master's apprentice"

He's my best apprentice.

"Of my best master,"

"Ha"

Lux immediately looked fed up when he laughed at Setuna's reply. I'm going in a frivolous tone.

"Damn, you're disgusting. My mentor praised me. Did you have this relationship?

"Didn't I?"

"I only remember you cursing me all the time."

"That must be a mistake."

Setsuna went, no matter, just kidding. As Lux put it, it was Setuna and Lux's mentorship where all the cursing flies, and so many words came and went between the two that it was not strange to think that if a stranger saw them, they would hate each other. They are not the original two, such as praising each other as they are now. That was a sure thing, and it was inexorable for Lux to be creepy. Lux twists his neck with a distant eye.

"Hmm... if they say so, maybe so... is there a reason? Stupid apprentice."

"I don't want my apprentice fool's master talking to me."

"Shit... this is it when I compliment you a little bit. I'll be right on track."

"Isn't that where you give way to your master?"

"Ha!?

Lux, when he raised his barbaric voice, had pointed Gravestone's cut this way. Sharp killings are so intense and heavy that they can crush Setuna's will.

"When did I get on?

"I just always seemed to be in good shape,"

I said, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

"That's just it"

In severe pain, vomiting blood reflexes, laughing bitterly.

Lux has packed a pause and slashed Setuna to death. Setuna will have to laugh bitterly too if she can show her strength enough that there is nothing wrong with getting on with it. And in bitter laughter, he resists severe pain and loses his life as it is.

How many times is it death?

I've reached enough times to even be ridiculous to count.

It will also be a matter of time before it reaches the fifth digit. No. Maybe that's how dead he is already.

How much time has passed since this last trial began?

As much as I don't even know that, Setuna was passionate about her trials with Lux.

I seriously think he's the best master. An unexpected reunion with such one put additional heat into Setuna. My heart burns, my soul burns, my whole body spirits, all my powers. If you don't, if you don't confront him with all your might, you're rude to your master. Lux has always worked out Setuna with all his might. He watched Setuna whenever he worked out one-on-one, as much as time allowed, as much as his strength allowed. As much as that's not for contracts etc., I know that for Setsuna too. The contract doesn't ask you to do that.

Lux meant he watched Setuna more than he had to. And thanks to that, Setuna was able to be strong. At least, I was able to handle the black spear fully because I referred to Lux as my mentor and Lux met Setuna's expectations.

(If so!

Early on in his life, Setuna kicked up the pattern of a sword that stood at his feet. The moment I grabbed the sword that jumped into the hollow, there was a look of Lux in front of me. It's not something I had time to set up. But Lux's movements are predictable. A flash of hanging. I can't handle it. They cut it down without even being able to take it with a sword, but they don't despair. Fatal wounds, but alive. In the flurry of severe pain, I wave up my sword.

(Show them what you're expecting!

Now, myself.

Setuna saw the moment when the sword she shook up as she roared cut the sky and slid through her hands to somehow snap her neck.

Resentment for Setuna in the sword is deep everywhere and intense everywhere.

He died several thousand times, remembering the number of lives he had taken, feeling indescribable.
