Continuity is the Father of Magical Power

Side: Bell

I really fought with my cousin Jill in the Holy City.

"It's really early for time to pass..." Back then I was still in my teens, and now I'm in my mid-30s... has it been about twenty years since then?

My body... has faded a lot in twenty years.

That said, the black wolf in front of me feels worn out more than I do.

It is unacceptable to lose on the grounds of old age.

"Seung-soon..."

From earlier... it smells nostalgic.

Is it because I was born close to my hometown? Or is it the smell of this beast?

Even so... the black wolf didn't move a step earlier.

Gwoo... gwoo...

I put all my strength into enduring something and groaned bitterly.

It would be helpful if you could escape control on your own...

Isn't reality so sweet?

Wow!

Her eyes turned bright red and she was in full control.

"I bowed my head and entered the battle position..."

"Ugh..."

When I realized it, the black wolf was far away.

For a moment... I saw the Black Wolf's legs. I got kicked.

"Wafu..."

The Beastman's magic was unleashed again, and he focused his magic power on his eyes.

Looks like your eyes have become a lot worse in the last 20 years. Oh, I feel my old age again.

"Mother Bell, are you okay?!"

This voice...... Neria. You've already rushed me.

(I'm fine, so Neria can help her mother.)

"I'll leave it to Keel, so it's okay!"

(That's right... but don't be naughty.)

"It's okay... I have to double Keel's pain back to him."

Hah, damn it... who did Neria look like? Sherry, I was jealous, but who cares about our enemies?

Mom's here!

The black wolf swung his forefoot down against my face while putting on the runner.

It's okay... I can see it the third time.

I shifted my face and bit my right foot, avoiding it.

* Giggle *...

I bit it, but I couldn't avoid the opponent's attack.

The black wolf was stabbing my right shoulder with the opposite arm.

But the Black Wolf's movement is sealed!

(Neria!)

You don't have to tell me!

Gwaaaaa!

I didn't say a word when I bit her, but it looked like Nelia's flames couldn't stand the boulders.

However, my right arm was torn apart by the desperate black wolf, and I relaxed the power of my mouth, which was holding the black wolf in too much pain.

And they got away in the blink of an eye.

"Mother Bell!"

(It's okay. This is... a pain.)

Burned by Neria's flames, the Black Wolf will be dead soon.

At any rate, Lina can cure my right arm, and I'd appreciate it if you could settle it in such a short time at such a cost.

"But, but, we have to cure it quickly!" Mother Leena! "

(Neria! Don't take your eyes off him yet!)

The black wolf, who had turned into a fire, swallowed my arm and charged towards Neria.

Shit. I can't shelter my current missing leg in time.

"Ah....."

(Neria!)

"I can't do it anymore..."

Gakin!

The moment I gave up, the black wolf clashed against the translucent wall.

"This is the barrier... Rose!"

Good... It looks like Rosé came to my aid.

"What are you so alarmed about?" Although the opponent is decaying a lot, it's the Beast King, so you can't take your eyes off him for a moment. "

"Zhu, Beast King!?"

This black wolf is my father?

That's right. It looks like... the devil didn't kill the Beast King, but he used it as a pawn.

Belle-san! I'll cure you now!

Leena rushed over as I was hardened by the shock.

"... oh? Why? Why aren't your arms growing?"

"I can't. The Beast King has already eaten my arm." The Beast King's predation ability is to transform everything he eats into his own power, and the person he eats can't recover that part. "

Rose pronounced herself shocked when Leena was struggling with my treatment.

My arm... it's not healing?

"Huh?... you're saying that Bell's right arm won't come back anymore?"

"... I see."

While saying that, Rose looked sorry.

Damn it... don't look like that. It's not my fault I lost my arm and couldn't avoid an attack.

(You don't have to worry about my arm. You don't have to be so troubled. Instead, I'll let you stop it.)

"No! If the Beast King eats me, I won't be cured." If you leave me alone, you will die, so let's not do anything extra! "

(...... it's my father. I don't want to make you suffer any more.)

It is thanks to this man that I have been able to live happily ever since, even though I have no memory of my father.

In the end, I think it's polite for me to finish you off.

"Okay, but I'll tie my limbs at the barrier."

"Thank you."

I solved the beast and had my favorite knife in my left hand.

Gwu...

"It hurts. I'm sorry I made you suffer. I'll make it easier for you now."

Zuzuzu...

I closed my eyes and pierced the knife firmly into my heart, feeling the unpleasant feeling.

"I... thanks to my father's escape, I have lived the happiest life in this world." Thank you so much.... "

"Fuha hahaha... it's still me and Nell's daughter." I grew up strong and beautiful.... "

"... Father?"

I opened my eyes when I heard an unexpected voice.

There, a man with a gentle face showed a gentle smile.

"I didn't expect you to call me that someday..." Belle... watch out for the devil... we can't defeat him. "

What do you mean?

……

When I asked him, he closed his eyes.

Huh. I wish you'd left it a little easier to understand.

“But it's definitely useful information.”

”... you mean strong enough not to defeat me?”

"Isn't there something we can't defeat in the first place?" The Beastmen basically hated losing. So I don't think I'm going to say words that are predicated on losing. "

"That's right." But what are you going to do if you get that information? Right now, you're fighting the demons one-on-one, right?

"Well... she's inside him, and I don't think she has to worry about that much."

"... that's right. Anyway, let's get rid of the monsters quickly."

My daughters' thoughts have changed, so I put my dad on the ground and pulled out the knife.

I'm sorry. I'll be back later to bury you.

"Mother Bell can't do that because she's injured!" Slow down! "

"I don't have time to rest right now." Come on, Keel-san is doing his best by himself, right? I'll go and help you soon. "

If it was a monster like that, I could defeat it with one hand even if its efficiency dropped.

If I can't defeat the big guy, I'll focus on the small things.
