It was in the midst of the battle with the Apostle that Esq felt the anomaly that had occurred throughout the battlefield.

"Become, what happened!?

What I understood instantly was that the soft force that had surrounded my whole body could disappear, and I perceived it as uncomfortable and strange. But it's not even if you're surprised.

The opponent, whom Esq was supposed to fly with joy and courage and settle in no time, is still alive, trying to mock him and showing off his gigantic body. Sometimes the Apostle is extraordinary and fortified, but there were more cross spears than that.

They won't let me fight one-on-one.

It's only natural to think in the eyes of the enemy, but as an esc, the lateral spears by those divine soldiers were depressing and I couldn't help it. We cannot concentrate on the Apostle. If only the Apostle had focused on fighting, he would have been kicked in the ass.

The Apostle is fortified, but so is the Esq.

It's not just improved combat related abilities. Esq was now gaining the ability to fly. Eryl Alm used Soul of Bird's abilities for me. This makes it possible to grow gray wings on the back of the escu and even fly around the sky freely.

Eryl Alum has offered Esq help, but he resolutely refused. It is an act of painting mud on the name of the dominant Setuna-Kamiya, such as asking Eril Alms to join him because he could not defeat him inside, even though he said that he had bought his apostle counterpart so greatly.

That is why we must destroy the Apostle by ourselves as much as we can.

Besides, the Eryl Alms have an important role to play: shooting down small flying ships and providing support for Allied forces. To detain them is to the detriment of the entire coalition.

Esq, on the other hand, is engaged in a meaningful battle at a time when he is able to nail the apostle with mighty power and his subordination.

Nevertheless, it is certain that he is more handy than expected, and he slammed the atmosphere with his wings in order to defeat the Apostle as soon as possible.

Just then.

The discomfort ran through and felt strange.

Esq realized who the discomfort was because the simultaneous shelling by the Divine Powerful Artillery plundered his vision and, at the next moment, was swallowed up by a tremendous stream of light.

(What -!?)

The tremendous pain was as if it would thoroughly destroy the flesh, rip off the hands and feet, take the life, and burn down even the soul. Everything is painted white and scorched. It breaks.

I thought that Esq was in such pain that I had never felt before in my life, and that I would die.

However, consciousness remained, and when I realized I was screaming so much that my throat was about to crush in the midst of a severe pain, my vision went back to normal. It would be a residual light. My vision shakes and my head creases. It's dazzling. My headache is also intense - no, my whole body, every part of me is complaining of pain. It's so strange to be alive, but I can clearly recognize that it's alive because I feel pain.

If you die, you should be free from pain.

That's why he clings to the pain.

I scream, cry, and look up in the sky amid the agony that makes me want to turn around.

There was an apostolic giant body in the distant night sky. The apostle, whose right half was the only unusually inflated, had his right arm pointed this way. The enlarged arms split into countless arms as if they were going to explode and strike at the same time.

(You're alive, me)

When the scream was also exhausted, he was, at last, regaining his calm. The fall will not stop. Earlier shelling did hit him directly and blow the wings that were growing on his back. And as a result, Esq lost his ability to fly. The fall begins, it doesn't stop. As it were, it would fall into the sea, but before then the Apostolic Attack would arrive.

Faster than the rate at which the Esq falls, the countless right arms of the Apostle loom.

Esq pointed his left arm at the sea. It emits a void cannon of maximum output, causing it to strike directly at the surface of the sea and fly high in the sky with its recoil. Then he succeeded in sliding into the herd of apostolic arms that were to capture the falling escu, and he swung Swordcaine. A blade of light stretched from the pattern rushes endlessly around the perimeter of the escu, tearing apart one arm at a time: the arm of the surrounding apostle.

It didn't take me seconds to break through my arm cage.

The momentum of the recoil of the void cannon was enough to carry Esq into the sight of the Apostle.

When the Apostle instantly restored his arms, he did so.

I can't even feel the Apostolic Self from the appearance of some human shadow. Golden eyes twisted like laughter.

"The junction was crushed. Your defeat is no longer a matter of time. Fools who defy His Majesty the King of God."

At the same time as I heard the apostle's low, creaking voice, once again its enlarged right arm exploded. A larger number of arms arrive at the Esq.

"I think we can communicate properly."

Esq waved his sword as he threw up. But now instead of chopping everything off, you pick out only the arms that need to be torn off and make the light blade draw a bullshit trajectory. Then he kicks his chopped arm and jumps up, making sure it runs over his impending arm, approaching the Apostle.

But why are you alive? Why don't you enslave us?

"Why not?"

He did not miss the moment when the left hand of the Apostle, who had so far been silent, moves. If you fired the void cannon faster than your left hand finished deforming, and blew every left shoulder, the look on the Apostle's face just changed. With instant restoration, at that time, Esq is approaching even the pocket of the Apostle.

"I guess it's decided because I'm Setuna's minister."

If we slammed in the void cannon from very close range, the tough flesh of just the Apostle also blew to pieces. Regardless, if left alone, it would instantly regenerate and devour a handached counterattack, but Esq's eyes captured the “nucleus” of the Apostle. The light blade, which was depicting a bullshit orbit, pierces the “nucleus” faster than regeneration begins, killing the apostle.

At that moment, the matter that comprised the Apostle's flesh began to collapse, as did the arms that were scaffolding. The free fall begins.

That's what I thought, arrow tip, there was something passing under his eyes.

It's a demonic weapon.

From what I've seen in the hangar, it was a four-legged object that now serves as a reliable force to fly around the battlefield. Besides, it seemed useful, even as a scaffold for non-flyable humans like Esq.

Esq looked bitter at the sweat and fatigue that erupted more and more as he landed magnificently on the torso of the Demonic Crystal weapon.

(Well, I guess that's not actually the case)

The Apostolic statement that the Trinity has vanished is not a paranoia or anything else to induce the upset of Esq. Never before has a divine cannon broken the line penetrated the battlefield. Esq himself, shot by a divine cannon, is about to lose his life.

I was able to retain my life because Esq is not just a human being, its flesh is in an extremely special condition.

Protection of the Spirits.

When Esq looked at his body, a pale light was wrapped around his whole body. Blue and white light particles. I can also imagine Esq that it would be called the Spirit.

(Thank you, Spirit.)

Appreciating it in my heart, it seemed to reach the ears of the spirits.

The grain of blue and white light flew around like a shaggy child, entertaining Esq's eyes.

It's also obvious that you're not enjoying it.

Esq took his life.

However, the earlier simultaneous shelling should have involved a large number of Coalition forces in the air and would have claimed a number of lives.

Aren't the Allied forces in a predicament right now?
