Azmaria's betrayal was indeed a shocking and abrupt event.

But from Faria's point of view, there was nothing else called shock, because he was a discredited person from the beginning and one who had always had doubts about somewhere.

No matter how sincere and serious Azmaria was in her fight against the Lion God Emperor, working with Setuna to save the world, reaching out to the Phalia and showing them the way, there was a part of Phalia that didn't trust her from the bottom of her heart.

That's all there is to it.

There is the fact that Azmaria attacked Lyohan, killed his father, and relied on his mother as his substitute. And the sight at that time was burnt tightly to the retina and couldn't leave, and there was no way I could forget.

I remember the days when I visited Gandia only to avenge Azmaria and continued to gather information on the Devil. And when he met Setuna and he spoke the name of Azmaria, Faria felt destined, and tried to use him and make contact with Azmaria.

So how many years ago was it that I finally made contact with Azmaria with my thoughts?

At that time, after all, she could not kill Azmaria, but even after that, she was on the one hand, causing revenge on Azmaria.

“The Great Destruction” happened and the situation changed.

I could not wipe away my hatred for Azmaria altogether just because the world was in danger of doom and I faced the fact that I had to shoot down Nair Gandia, its chief lion god emperor.

Setuna seemed to trust Azmaria from the bottom of her heart, and it is the Milius who bond to him like that.

Faria was also one of those people who was inspired by Setuna, but there was only one part, different from everyone else.

The fact that they killed my real father.

That was the only thing that was emitting a chilling light in Faria's mind and issuing a warning not to trust Azmaria.

So even in this situation, I could have handled it instantly.

Towards Azmaria floating in the sky as if drawn to the power of the Holy King, he raises an Aurora Storm and emits an arrow of thunder.

I was on the verge of it.

Ragna jumped over Azmaria.

Ragna was also able to react immediately to Azmaria's betrayal.

That would also be because she was wary of Azmaria somewhere in her mind, and she didn't completely trust her.

Ragna had once made a covenant with the Holy Emperor Miendia, following Azmaria, who had inherited that covenant. And I have a history of attacking Setuna as Azmaria tells me and, as a result of that battle, becoming one of Setuna's people. I guess that's not the only reason Ragna didn't trust Azmaria.

Such abrupt flights of Ragna, however, could not even reach Azmaria.

Because a huge mass of darkness enveloped Ragna's entire body.

For a moment, I didn't know what that was.

No, I didn't want to understand.

It was a disastrously gigantic hand of darkness.

It was as if the Demon King had shown some of his power, and it was stretching from the left hand of Setuna, whoever it might be. “Dark Stroke." It is the ability of Black Spear Chaos Bringer's family, Rod of Envy, and for a fully armed Setuna, it is a force used like a common means of attack.

"Setuna!?

Someone screamed.

No, everyone was screaming.

That would be so.

Setuna stood as if to protect Azmaria, grabbed the ragna that had sometimes flown, and threw it gently.

Faria herself was filled with incredible feelings, and many, no, dozens of times more shocking than Azmaria betrayed.

It is absurd in itself to compare the betrayal of a person you did not trust with the hostility of a person who has entrusted both body and mind.

It was only natural that not only Faria, but everyone around her would be noisy. It wasn't strange that everyone was shocked by Setuna's behavior and her head turned bright white.

"Grrr...... WHAT!? What the hell are you doing? Setuna!"

Apparently he was just thrown away lightly. When Ragna got in position in the air, he screamed at Setuna to bite him.

Then Setuna looked surprised.

"That's our dialogue, isn't it?

"What!?

"Why are you trying to attack Azmaria?"

"Ha!?

If Ragna raises her bare voice, Setsuna gives her a flashy look.

"Azmaria would be one of us."

"That was just now, wasn't it!?

"Azmaria is trying to take in the power of the Holy King!

Miliu screams, and Ruufa lifts her voice.

Even in the meantime, the rise in Azmaria will not stop.

Faria had no choice but to release an arrow. Pours the remaining force into the Aurora Storm and shoots it off. Extreme thunder shook the atmosphere and ran through the void, blasting as if it had crashed into an invisible wall on the verge of trying to reach Azmaria.

It wasn't Setuna.

(Shield of Messiah......!?

Faria was stunned because she faced the fact that even Quon was on Azmaria's side.

"Oh? What's wrong with that? Hey, Kuon."

"Yeah. Though it doesn't seem like there's a problem..."

Quon asked by Setsuna smiled like he was in trouble. Such interaction between the two is no different than usual. No, I felt closer to distance and seemed to get along better than ever. It's like years of best friends, there's even such an atmosphere.

bonds cultivated after a death fight, is that what it is?

To Faria, I didn't know that, but for one thing, there was certainty.

"This is crazy."

"What's wrong with you?

"Why are you guys on Azmaria's side!?

"Why, because I'm one of them"

"The same is true of Azmaria, who has done everything in his power to defeat the Lion God Emperor and burn his life. Sure, she could be hard to trust. You've spent five hundred years doing whatever you want. But that, and this, was for this time of day. To destroy the power of the Holy King and free Iles Valle from the curse of the Holy King..."

"So that's what's wrong with you!?

A pseudo-magic was activated at the same time that Miliu screamed. The scarlet light that arises around Miliu runs towards Azmaria.

"Azmaria is going to take the power of the Holy King for her own!

Ruufa also followed Miliu. A huge amount of feathers splashed from the countless wings that grew on his back, dyeing the sky to a polar color. The world of wings is built.

"Oh, my God."

Setsuna raised her voice a little fed up and troubled. It blows out the spreading feathers just by waving a spear, and it also cuts off the pseudo-magical light.

"What's the problem with that? Explain it to me so I can understand."

Setsuna didn't look like she was joking.

Seriously, seriously, I've been asking.
