Episode XIX: Phantoms of the Past

Anne and I both had our souls swallowed inside Kvar Beste.

It's immersion, not the connection Anne always makes. It is intruding into the soul world of Kvar Beste. If you're serious about facing Kvar Beste, you need to do this.

The flesh of reality would be crumbling like a puppet with a broken thread.

Cyril is protecting our bodies.

Dark spaces continue everywhere. It's terribly cold.

Image power is important in the world of souls.

I am strongly aware of my form. My presence is portrayed in a space of nothing.

Exploring the surrounding signs, I felt Anne's presence. By Cyril our souls are in resonance. Thanks to this, I can feel my presence.

"Anne, can you hear me!

If the flesh can create, it can speak up. If I can speak up, I can convey my thoughts.

Imagine each and every one of them strongly.

"In this world, the image takes shape! Remember who you are. Be clear about each and every one of your actions, and be aware of what they mean. If you don't, your existence fades and disappears!

Scream as far as your voice goes.

There was a sign behind me.

Turning around, she's almost embodied it now.

Familiar Sarasa silver hair, white skin like white magnet. A body as luxurious as a fairy.

"Sauge, thank you. I was afraid you'd disappear like this."

"If it's your first time, you can't help it."

What a space of souls, a normal human being ends up without experiencing it for the rest of his life.

"This is where Kvar Beste is."

"Oh, yeah. This is the soul world of Kvar Beste. Don't be alarmed because you don't know what's out there."

It would be about Kvar Beste to have such a vast and dense world of souls.

I feel countless signs around me.

Kvar Beste has eaten it up to now, will, soul, magic, they're swirling.

One of them took shape. boar demons.

It's like a demon I saw somewhere. They rushed towards us.

"[Demon Ore Smelting: Xenotype Spear/Wear]"

Imagine, embody and pierce your own love spear.

Whether you exist here or not, even weapons depend on your image. That said, imagining a fictional weapon doesn't make it a lot without enough reality. I prefer a weapon that I am accustomed to using that I can accurately imagine in detail.

Make sure the love spear pierces the boar demon's eyeball, while burning the inside with [electric shock] magic.

The boar demon disappeared.

"You have a demon coming out."

"Kvar Beste is trying to get rid of us. Anne should put out her weapon, too."

"Yeah, I'll give it a shot."

Anne imagines her own weapon.

It was the silver sword that appeared.

However…………….

"You're not Kvar Beste."

"Yeah, I imagined it, but I couldn't."

Is it impossible to do that too? Kvar Beste has not yet recognized Anne as the Lord in a true way. That's why Anne's summoned sword became just a sword, not Kvar Beste.

When we could summon Kvar Beste in this space, Anne would truly be the ruler of Kvar Beste.

He was attacked by demons several times as he even moved forward through the black space.

It still is.

"Earlier, you had a lot of demons."

Anne snaps off the head of the eagle's demon as it strikes from the air.

"I'm also concerned about the high number, but there's another thing that catches on"

I replied as I speared through the monkey demon's head.

"What do you care?

"The demon is too weak. If Kvar Beste is serious, he should be able to summon more powerful demons. Most of them have come out so far equal to rank 1. Strong but about rank 2. There's got to be some intention."

You're trying us, you're thinking about that, but you're going through a black space.

If you walk in a direction that feels strong, you should be able to reach the core of Kvar Beste.

After walking for a while, the air changed.

Cold and stabbing, such air.

My years of experience tell me. Something bad is happening.

It was the next moment.

Two women show up before us.

They're both beautiful until they're horrible in their early twenties.

One is a good woman with soft golden hair and fox ears. Eyes with fallen emotions, vain expressions. I get the impression that I'm desperate for everything in this world.

Another is a woman with silver sara hair and no breasts but good style. An eye for a strong sense of will, a quiet stand-up characteristic of a leading swordsman.

My back teeth were trembling.

I know them. Deep down, too.

Anne also had a flashy look on her face.

"Hey, Sauge, that, it's growing, but it's Kuna and me, right?

Anne gives a confused voice.

I want to calm her down but I can't. I'm so confused that I can't help myself.

Because that look of them…….

"Hey, Sauji. Why did you kill me?

Once upon a time, a being that could not be protected by oath of absolute protection.

Once I was in despair, I stayed with him for a long time and he finally smiled at me. Still, they killed me in the end in front of me. My favorite woman in the world.

Coona in the world I failed.

"Master, I've always believed you. You just wanted the power of Kvar Beste's third stage opening up to help me. I was kind with the intention of offering sacrifice from the beginning. Just for that, I kept fooling him, raising him,... and at the end of the day, letting Kvar Beste eat him. Hey, Master. I still suffer from being left alone with Kvar Beste."

The words make my head disappear.

My memories, which were sealed every once in a while, gave me my head. That comes back. I've been with Anne for a long time.

Around it, he picked up and raised Anne, uncovered Kvar Beste's secret, and revealed the truth about the Oakrail family. It became a spark and it even led to war.

I had to rely on the power of Kvar Beste during that war, and he trusted me more than anyone. I have sacrificed Anne.

Kuna and Anne, who I once lost, are disturbed by what they look like.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh"

Your voice leaks unconsciously. I'm about to be crushed by self-blame.

"Sauge, it's okay, calm down"

Anne rubbed my back.

Calm down, calm down, don't disturb me.

"Hey, Sage. Say what you like best in the world, forget about me, it looks like you switched to a new me in a new world...... are you going to kill me again?

"Master, even in this world, you sacrifice me to gain the strongest power?

Growing Anne and Kuna blame me.

"I don't do that. I will never repeat my mistakes again. This time, it will never fail. Kuna and Anne, I'll make you happy! That's why I'm here!

That's an oath. Nothing else. I swore to myself.

I will never let go of my loved one's hand again.

"Sauge-kun liar"

"Do you think that if we save the new us, the sins of the past will disappear?

The two look blurred.

The next moment he was right in front of me, waving his fist.

I can't dodge it in time.

It takes a direct hit and is unnecessarily blown away.

This speed, the weight of the blow. Equivalent to Rank 4.

Same rank they had when they died.

"Sauge!"

Anne screams.

I get up, I spit blood, I scream.

"Anne, go ahead. I'll catch up with you in a minute!

"But!"

"I'm fine, please! Please... leave this place to me alone"

Anne nods at my sad cry.

"If you promise me you'll never lose, fine."

"I promise. You swore I'd make Kuna and Anne happy. I'm not dying here."

"Okay. Let me talk to you later."

At the same time as the words, Anne left.

The upset only fits a little. So I finally came to one possibility.

"You do what you can with your hands. Kvar Beste! I can't believe you created a fake Kuna and Anne."

Perhaps this is a ploy to keep Anne and me apart.

It evoked and shaped memories engraved in my soul. It's just a phantom.

"Sauji, what are you talking about? Indeed, we are an illusion created by Kvar Beste."

"Right. But it's not fake. It was engraved in your soul and lived in your heart. Certain authenticity. Hey, Master. Kill us again?

That's not Kuna and Anne.

I have to shake it off and move on.

But still.

Can I fight them engraved in my own heart?

Grab the spear with your trembling hands. I confronted the past.
