Black Summoner

- The valley of frenzy.

Riordo let go of saying it was a test without any hesitation, letting a seemingly refreshing fake smile stick to his face. I thought you were kidding me again, but I don't even move without denying the cherry dancing. Thank you. Seriously.

"A test?... for what?

"Kelvin, it's the last thing you need to know to make sure you're at a height where you can fight her. As you've experienced before, Elpis has a ridiculously powerful wind generator. That's directly connected to Kromel's magic, and you'll know the power and range. Ange, even if I used your powers, I wonder if only those who can come with your quickest speed can get in there?

Intrusion in the same way you did when you attacked this valley? Of course, I thought about the method, and I talked to Ange about it. But the conclusion I made there was that Riordo was right, and even if he used his abilities from out of range unaffected by the wind coming out of the airship, from there Ange could run all he could through and manage to get through, and so on. My magic excludes me because acceleration time interrupts along the way, maybe Effil or Serge can follow me, but it's tantamount to suicide for just three people to go to the enemy line where Kromel and the Apostle wait.

That's why I needed to seal that wind off straight from the front. The airship dossier left by Riordo even noted in numbers to what extent the wind produced by Kromel and the airship was powerful. It was an incomprehensible formula for me, but the analysis team by Stra, Colette, and Serra reversed it to derive the energy needed to fight it. The answer was a breath (brace) attack by all dragon kings.

"Kromel is waiting for you. Kelvin, gather all the power you have, the connections, the materials I've prepared, and the power of your people to turn your teeth to yourself. She thinks that's the only way she can deal with you anymore. Elpis, to put it, is like a gauge that measures your thoughts, Kelvin. If you come with half your thoughts, you'll wake up with a thousand years of love. So at least prove that you can break Elpis, and then head under Kromel. I don't care how long it takes. In the meantime, don't let Zildra's work be thrown around the world."

"That's a thankful offer. But I can't stand it long enough. If Kromel takes over reincarnated gods while you're at it, that's the one thing you can't even look at, right?

From earlier on, Riordo talks like the power of Kromel is perfect, but he hasn't actually become the reincarnation god that unifies the world yet. It's just taking away Elealis' flesh and the power of Melfina and becoming infinitely closer to it. In order to truly be a god, Kromel needs to reach the White Winged Land.

"To tell the truth, we are already searching for a place in the white-wing land (Israhaven). That floating continent has powerful divine boundaries, but it's easy to break them if you have Kromel with the same power as God."

- Are you sure you've been waiting?

"So, what is it? Kromel was so ready, you waited so long for me?

"Nothing would be so strange. Because her purpose is only yours. That's all from me. I really want to tell you this instead of her, who doesn't have a good expression of love."

I'll be waiting forever. Evolving from a human to a demon, I can't believe you said that to me when you're old enough. Oh, Kromel will wait. Whatever, she's really trying to accomplish such a long plan. Years and decades now, I guess there's no big difference.

And Kromel's pretty sure I'm headed for his airship. Kromel definitely has the strongest and worst power in this world. To speak of extremes, that's what I think, being a rational fighter fanatic, would seek me out first, because I'm the one who gets where I want to go.

"Thanks for the useful information. I'm going to use it for my future policy."

"Oh, make sure you do. And there's something the selectors want to tell you, isn't there?

That's what Riordo said and went down to take turns dancing cherry blossoms and started wiping his monoculars as they were. How much sarcasm have I told you and you don't even care about the dust?

"Now it's from the Cherry Blossom Dance"

"Yeah, it's from me. Separate from the analyst, I will mainly talk about Lisea. On your way here, you met Edward, didn't you? He didn't try to talk about Lisea at all, did he?

Has Dance Cherry Blossoms lived quite a few years since becoming King of Lisea? Separate from the dancing cherry blossoms that came out of Mel's story, I guess I should think about that.

"Oh, he's a man in law. The cherry blossoms are trusted, but it hurts to see them in person."

"Yeah, he's so straight in the roots that he can shoulder to shoulder with the Virgin of Delamis. On top of that, I had the ability to think seriously about peace and implement it. If we hadn't destroyed Lisea, it would have been much quicker for the western continent to calm down in the middle of the war."

When compared to Colette, you mean a bit of Edward's purity, or vice versa... No, Colette would never bend her beliefs either.

"You seem to trust me, too. So, Dance Cherry Blossom, why did Edward disturb the peace that he wanted? Betrayed all of Lisea, who had ruled for a long time, until the destruction of the capital."

………

The expression of the cherry dance was slightly strong. Oops?

"My heart beats just a little faster. Does that mean you're in pain of conscience? Doesn't seem like there's any regret at all."

Instead of his expression, Mr. Ange seems to hear it all the way to that point.

"You've been poked where it hurts. But when Kromel moved Elpis, it was a matter of certainty that I would leave Lisea. So the creator's research facility left in the capital of Lisea needed to be destroyed without a trace"

"Creator's?

Creator. You mean Jildra? Jildra belonged to Lizea in the form of an elf when Gerard destroyed the country he was serving. Since that time, Lizea has had his research facility, and Golem did that airship, and he's been researching what Kromel wants...

"What do we say when we make it, the technology, the equipment in the creator's facility, was all that was left in the hands of humans. The only people who knew about the existence of that facility were me and the staff there, and later only a few, including Edward. Now it closed a few years ago, and no creator is the Lord. However, although the facility was strictly controlled, it was slightly too huge. Because his laboratory stretched as far as the castle was concerned and as far as the capital was concerned. To prevent leaks, I destroyed every facility in the capital."

I see. Is that why you gave the residents an evacuation order? He said the purpose was not genocide, but the aftermath of the facility. If you look at that airship or the giant golem, you can understand how Zildra's technology was over-tech.

"Did Edward also know what he was going to do about Jildra's facility?

"He believed my words to the end and thought that facility was for the people. Now, some of you may think that he has nothing to do with our plan."

"Right..."

"Kelvin, do you believe in the words of the chooser very lightly?

One glasses in the back says something, but I can't hear you at all. Don't put it in your ear.

"My story will be more than that. To tell you the truth, in my case, it means more that I've come to see Mr. Kelvin than to talk. Mr. Kelvin hasn't changed, has he? Really good......"

"Was it good? I have no idea who I am."

"It was good. At least for me."

The dancing cherry blossoms rewore the helmet they had after a smile with inclusiveness.

"Well, it's time. We'll be excused for this. If I leave this scene, the Dragon King there will also move out immediately. You can do whatever you want later. Mr. Kelvin, if that time comes, I'll see you soon."

Riordo took the Holy Key from his nostalgia and disappeared from it like a warp.

"Wow, maybe the destination of the Holy Key is changing!?

"Are you saying you moved to another place, not the land of Naraya (Avisland)?

"The destination must be that airship."

If you noticed, Mai Cherry Blossom had similarly taken out the Holy Key (Seiken).

"Now, if you'll excuse me around here..."

"- Wait. I just want to ask Dance Cherry Blossom about this. Why did you become an apostle? Suppose you're the brave man who saved the world, aren't you? Unlike Serge, there's no way there's someone important here. If Kromel reincarnates you, there's no reason to be a part of it."

………

Dancing cherry blossoms lowered the holy key that they were about to use and did a little thinking trick. The more the storm of the valley is heard, the more silent it is for a short while.

"... after Cecilia told me that Mr. Kelvin, who was the Demon King, had been debated, I returned to the original world with a servant whom I had been gracious at that time. Only a few moments had passed, but my house and my family hadn't changed one by one. My family was surprised that I didn't expand like Taro Urashima, but suddenly brought an exotic woman..."

"Gi, gi...!

Behind the dancing cherry blossom there was the voice of the wind dragon king. I guess the restraints are starting to unravel.

"Still, we did manage to build happiness. I don't know if it was a favour from the goddess, but this body, which was sick and weak, has not suffered from illness since, but health itself. My wife gave birth to three sons, then she had grandchildren... and while I could watch over my family, I put down the curtain of my life in the form of aging. It was really happy and unpleasant. Just..."

I felt the dancing cherry blossom gaze behind my helmet accidentally bump into me.

"- There was just one remorse left. I let Mr. Melfina kill you in this world. It would have been my sin if it had been. That's why I'm helping Mr. Melfina, no, with Cromel. It's a distorted relationship to let Kromel kill you again. Still, if that's what she wants, I'll be happy to help her."
