Colossus Hunter

A dramatic step.

I took a small but large step forward.

To look at Lyra without prejudice.

Eventually, the past was the past. It has now become something that will not happen, and I also clearly recognize and acknowledge that there is a difference in attitude.

We quietly returned.

I didn't say anything more than usual.

But it was never frustrating or repressed.

I don't know what to say.

Until now, the static between the two has been indefinitely burdensome, but now it feels more natural. Since the awkwardness has cleared up even further and this time itself just feels beautiful, it is a situation I would have thought was crazy if I had seen the past.

Then we went about our business as usual.

But clearly, the atmosphere was different. Maybe it's because I decided to look at it as it is. Without prejudice, I was just reuniting with Leira Diablo as she is.

And when I fall asleep.

‘Memories' that had been hidden deep inside began to come out.

I have always been the end of the cliff.

I realized it was a dream.

But it wasn't my memory.

Uriel Diablo. His voice woke me up.

At the same time, his childhood unfolded.

He wasn't happy.

Are you saying that you just see everything? Terrible! "

I expected to tear the mother's stomach.

It was a rare Celestial Dragon vessel. I only have the ability, huh. Too bad. Too bad.

The first words I heard in the world were merely sarcasm mixed with criticism like a screamer.

Useless. That was the first thing Uriel learned.

No one loved him. No one needed him.

Who is, but is not.

He grew up being treated like an animal in a cramped cage.

Then one day.

"Uriel, listen to the protesters. It's the only thing you can do that's useless.

I couldn't say no. As he grew up, he had never refused. because I was disqualified from even doing so.

And I met her.

A demigod. A woman with pure wings that do not exist in the Maw. Uriel had never seen such transparent and beautiful eyes.

She was scared. Uriel had no idea why she was here, not in the Maw, but in a new world.

But the moment I saw those eyes, Uriel immediately fell in love. If you refuse, you will be waiting for death.

You are different from other horses.

Whether she felt Uriel's devotion or not, the distance was gradually reduced.

Her ship is loading little by little. But I didn't really know whose seed it was. It's because no one wanted to take her away and was just thinking of her as a birthing vessel.

Is that why?

Uriel took better care of her who was in a similar position to him.

She slowly opened the door of her mind.

You are precious.

One day, she stroked Uriel's cheek.

It was my first time experiencing kindness. Uriel was confused because he had never felt this warmth in his life.

Uriel's mind that had been closed began to open together.

Then she taught Uriel many things. There's nothing worthless in the world. How to love someone. How to look at the world more beautifully.

The more I did, the more my stomach swelled. Uriel was restless.

I knew what my child would look like when she was born.

The Horsemen were concerned about the child she was about to give birth to. The semi-religious were focused solely on what would be born in a peculiar vessel.

It is regarded as a necessary tool and will be discarded if it is useless.

But Uriel could not move. I have lost my own power to resist their malice. I was always depressed by the deep defeatism imprinted from birth.

She loved Uriel like that. She loved everything. Even in the abyss, she does not lose her light.

But on the contrary, she weakened every day.

Abyssal without light kills semitheists. There was nothing strange about having a child there, even if it died instantly.

Eventually, the child came out earlier than expected.

This child deserves to be loved. Uriel, avenge me with your love.

Uriel. My name is Elena, the warrior who inherited the name of the ninth Valkyrie. Please take care of my child. Be a great father to your child.

Uriel calls out her name for the first time.

Soon after, the labor began. I was worried that the child would be in trouble because it was too early for the scheduled time, but fortunately, the child came out of the world normally.

After the birth, Elena gives the child a hard smile.

"Laira, you will be happy to have a good father.

He once told me that a boy would be named Ulter and a girl Lyra.

Her eyes slowly close, hugging Lyra.

The string of life that has been endured all these years has been broken. Rather, she was weakened enough to say she had survived.

Uriel cried for the first time since he was born. You hold Elena and Lyra in your arms and cry endlessly.

The people who saw Lyra reacted more violently.

I heard that a child was born with the blood of the Dragon Horse and Banshee.

An unusual magical power!

"Hurrah, you have sharp ‘thorns’ from birth. It's too different from useless Uriel.

The birth of a new heir.

Everyone noticed and flexed.

But soon after the sun king died, there was a purge of blood.

He kills all his successors as if he had been preparing for a long time and wipes out the Dissidents like a hurricane. But Uriel, he didn't stop killing.

That uselessness saved you. If you had been any good, you would have walked the same path as the others.

You must live and be my guide. Looking at your stupid face, I will always be alert, and looking at your incompetence, I will always sharpen and wipe myself. Also. "

I will welcome Lyra as my pet. Her growth deserves to be my companion. That's another reason to save your life.

He was perfect in every way, as soon as he became king of the sun.

Rumor has it that he also killed the Sun King who was never meant to die.

Of course, we had no right to refuse Uriel. Except for crawling around like bugs and taking the path of survival.

But Lyra gets stepped on.

If we do nothing, Lyra's fate is sealed. Sun King's companion? I like that word. It's actually a bowl. Like Elena's dead. It will be merely a tool for leaving blood behind.

Far from love.

So Uriel resisted for the first time.

You escaped the great castle and attempted an escape with Lyra.

I want to return the love I received from Elena.

Uriel has changed. Elena's love has allowed him to change.

Lyra is the last piece of evidence she left behind. But the world wasn't green. Outside the castle was the wilderness itself and it was never friendly to Uriel.

I was desperate. I didn't know how to raise a child. But I didn't want to raise her like I did. At least I wanted to show that there was love in the abyss and that there was that kind of emotion.

I was not good at expressing it, but did my best.

In return, Leia grew up different from the other horses. I had more straight eyes than anyone else.

And when Lyra became an adult,

"It is the prophecy of the Sun King. Bring Lyra into the castle.

The shadow of the Sun King has found Uriel.

He had not forgotten. I was just waiting with some grace. May the fruit of Lyra ripen.

You had to become a daemon lord to escape his influence. If he wanted to protect Lyra, he had no choice but to take the Great Star and prove himself.

Be strong.

As a result, Uriel fought, fought, and finally took the place of Daemon-Lord. Diablo. Now that I have that name, I have a minimum foundation.

But then he fell asleep for a long time. 100 years. He was asleep even when the other daemon lord woke up and started his activities.

I have seen my many futures in 100 years.

Defeat in the Maw.

His own death.

Lyra's death.

I could see everything.

In the end, Uriel couldn't change. It hasn't changed.

"I have also seen your despair.

He spoke.

At the same time, I woke up.

I was amazingly assimilated with him.

Uriel Diablo. Did he recognize me? Did he know I was coming back when I saw the future of killing him?

I tried to change the future, but I couldn't change it. For 100 years I dreamed many dreams and reached the same end. At the end of one.

He sighed deeply.

I tried everything. Nevertheless, Lyra's death was inevitable. It's like a destiny.

There was a lot of action, but the end was fixed.

He resembles me. I also knew the end of the world, but I didn't act endlessly.

But only one of many dreams was different. It was originally impossible for humans to reach me. Thousands and thousands of times would have been the same. But you were the only one who could put a sword through my heart. A miracle happened.

I wanted to talk to him, but I couldn't move.

This is his space. In his memory.

He continued.

Are you different? What's different? Unknown. All I could see was a section of the world where the rules of time had been broken after my death and everything had changed. After that, I couldn't even see it.

Ah. Then I realized that Uriel Diablo in front of me is a ‘memory’ that is not a spirit or spirit. Memories engraved on him. Among them, there was a message for me.

But his presence was overwhelming. I couldn't even look at my dying eyes.

"Therefore, I give you hope. The moment you covered up my blood, you were already connected to me in the past. I will be desperate and frustrated as I am, but the outcome will be nothing but horror. Only you can change it.

I remembered it, too.

When I put the black in his heart, he told me.

There will be no despair in the future. The only surviving hero. I thought it was just taunting me, but it wasn't.

I already knew that.

And what you're telling me now is that you and I have become inseparable.

I wanted to change Lyra, too, to change the outcome of her destruction!

Protect Lyra. Change the world. That's what I do, and that's what you want.

The world is falling apart.

Uriel Diablo. His memories of me are fading back to the other side.

And then everything went back to darkness.

[Power, the prank of destiny.]]

[This is the power of the 'seer' who can see the possibilities of everything.]

For 100 years, the power he gained was not one "ruler."

A prank of fate!

All of his dreams were expressed by this power.

Soon, the space in the dark memories began to crumble.
