Black Summoner
Episode 463: Fallen Heaven
In front of you, there is an unfamiliar indication. System or proxy authority? Holy spear? I don't know everything, just letters that don't make sense. But there was also a line of words that intuitively seemed disturbing.
- Holy annihilation of the Demon King. It was spelled out as if you were ordering me. That's something I find terribly disgusting. I immediately tried to speak to you. But it wasn't my mouth that moved, it was the arm with the spear. What my arm had was a divine platinum spear, not a love spear brought out of the white-wing land (Israhaven). That's just in sight, beautiful enough that you're going to fall in love with it unexpectedly. I'm just touching it, and I feel a sacred power that I can't bottom out.
... but I don't recognize anything like this. I don't even know when I had it. Behind the sight, the exaltation, I was afraid. And even though I do have my will here, I realize that my body doesn't know what to say. No matter how many voices I try to reach you, my lips won't open. You just keep breathing to keep your life alive, and not a single fingertip listens to my orders. It's like having your body taken over by something else… at the end of your sight, a blue and white light runs. This stream of magic, at some point, also reveals angel rings and wings, but why? Why, now...? Again, I remember the word "holy annihilation" of the Demon King.
………
The spear tip of the Holy Spear gradually sets the direction. That works very slowly. But more slowly, it doesn't move as if time had stopped.... No, you don't. Instead of being slow around, my body and my thoughts are moving fast, to the point of horror.
I don't know if the effect of the earlier incomprehensible sentence being displayed or what it actually is. But why did you reflect such a sight in my sight so that I could clearly understand it, too? I don't understand why you have to be treated like this. I don't want to understand. If I had that speed, I would still have been able to handle it. Why are you alarmed and inadvertently exposed to your back at times like this? No, no, no. This is some kind of mistake...
"but ah..."
- The holy spear that pierced your back and pierced your heart, was stained red, red. My body was moving you to kill the Demon King. Whimpering gushing from the back of my throat. But what came out of my mouth was something completely different.
"Light of the Sacred Destroying Stars (Luminary Burst)"
My voice, horribly quiet, gave instructions to the Holy Spear to execute the sentence. Accepting the order, the Holy Spear begins spinning, and emits a dazzling blue and white light with a fierce spinning sound, damaging your body, wearing it, yes, no...
"- Then I killed you... and even more so, the Black Diamond Engagement Ring that you gave me... turned into the Black Book and disappeared somewhere, as I told you that the Demon King was dead... and then, as you saw in your dreams, the wings that were manifesting were black and corrupt... and sworn vengeance against God for the world..."
Exhaled heavily, Melfina gradually ended a long long story. I was clutching Melfina unconsciously, trying to contain the tremors that dwell in this guy's body as much as possible.
"Thank you for telling me. Well done."
"... Yes"
Mel's story was a series of surprises. I was in Japan, and even in my previous life, I was in this world, and I knew Melfina, and even gave her a ring and became a couple. Totally, totally ahead of me.
And it's the last of the problem. At the end of the day, I became the demon king and was defeated by Mel, who became God's proxy. The engagement ring I cherished actually looked like the black book had turned into a disfigurement, and I lost even that... oh, it can't be hard. The worst, I would have felt like revulsion. As you can see from the state of Melfina now that she has revived her memory, she can't help but break her heart. With my own hands, I don't even want to think about killing my beloved. My arms, holding Mel tight, apply their strength even when I'm unconscious.
Oh, you're right. Not much, I'm in shock too. But that's really trivial compared to the pain and suffering Mel's been through. Besides, that's not the end of the story. There must still be a continuation of the story about how Mel became a god and walked down the avenge path.
"Are you all right? After that, can we talk about Kromel? If you can't, let's change the day."
"... No, I want to talk to you. Before you wake up from this dream."
Did the lip tremor subside slightly, and Mel made me listen to the rest of the conversation. I'll rub your back in the meantime. Let's start with what happened to Mel's body.
They say the phenomenon of angel wings dyeing black has fallen into heaven, a rare phenomenon that occurs to angels rebellious against God. Even in this long history of the world, there is no record of what actually happened. That is due to the fact that angels rarely leave the white-wing land (Israelihaven) in the first place, and live without knowing other races or the outside world. Mel said he escaped the bondage of someone by doing this fallen heaven.
"This is also what I learned as a god… That phenomenon where my body was taken over by something else was one of the many stretched protection systems activated in case a brave man was defeated by a demon king"
"System?"
"Yes. The demon king is destined to be defeated by the brave, who have never been defeated by the demon king. That is the record of the battle between the brave and the demon king, in the history of Delamis. But in fact, there were times when brave men were defeated. As you did when you defeated the cherry blossoms. It is indirect involvement by God that prevents it. This time, he mediated an angel named me, and took the form of defeating the demon king instead of the brave one."
"Stuck, like a pillar of God placed all over the world... corrupted and escaped, is that when God, if I may say so, Elealis, stopped being involved in Mel?
"That's what happens as a result. An angel is like a proxy for God, or a candidate who becomes the next God. So I have a stronger connection to God than any other race. By resenting God and this world and falling into heaven, I was freed from that connection."
I saw it in my dreams, Mel's wings holding me in flames turned black, and it turns out why Kromel's wings were pitch-black. But this alone leads to new questions. Why is Mel, who should have fallen into heaven, a god? And how did it split between Melfina and Kromel? I ask Mel this question.
"I guess it's natural to be questioned. Shortly after I lost you and despaired of the world. I hurried away from the country of Lisea with your body. At the very least, only your body tried to protect you... and that's when I realized. That the Holy Spear Luminary, which was forwarded on behalf of God, is still in my hands."
