Different worlds of the last heaven and knights of the fist.
529. Dreams last.
“It's all right, I'll take care of you.”
"... yes..."
"That's why you shouldn't." Come on, let's go. "
Yeah.
I'm sure you'll never forget it for the rest of your life.
The warmth of the hand I held together with my vows the day I was young.
No matter what lies ahead.
Feel the pleasant sway, and feel the grace of the Day God coming in through the window.
(Nh... did you fall asleep?)
Sabel Arhano realized the weight of his left shoulder at the same time as his consciousness was awakened.
Looking at her, she saw Julie Mikeus, who was as slumbering as she had been a few hundred years ago.
With a smile on her face, she clasped her shoulders and turned her gaze out of the window.
There was a majestic nature.
Blue mountains in the distance, green grass carpets everywhere. The sky is clear as a glimmer, and not a single cloud is floating.
The shapes of the scattered rocky mountains are unique and give the impression of being sharp and prickly. It was like a giant beast's fangs jumping from the surface. This seems to be due to the unique rock composition of the region, and it seems to have properties that are easily shredded by rainstorms. That's what I heard the other day from a travelling merchant traveling to and from the neighborhood.
Even if the scenery looks the same, it is interesting to see the unique characteristics of the area. This is why we don't get bored of traveling.
"That snowy landscape looks like a lie, doesn't it?"
Julie woke up looking out the window in the same way as she looked at the voice she heard from the side.
"Ahh. Absolutely."
I agree with the label briefly.
This area is quite chilly, but that white color has no shadows or shapes.
The extreme cold and heavy snow, which seemed to be under the control of Ice God, was now a dream or a fantasy.
― ― That day, Sabelle and Julie were riding on a horse-drawn carriage on a street on the northern periphery.
We enjoyed our stay in Kadankatia to the fullest.
With a deep faith in the god of light, Aeodithis, this country has excellent security, and was one of the safest areas in the world that Saber and others visited. The people who live here are undoubtedly blessed.
Even so, it seems that some time ago, a phantom called the "Killer without Killing" dropped the world to the depths of fear.
However, it seemed that there were times when the executioner in the royal palace suddenly dazzled his whereabouts, but in the first place, there was less demand for executioners in such a safe country. Maybe he found another good job and went there.
Now, I wonder what stories and encounters await in the next city.
It must be one of the tastes of traveling to be able to understand such thoughts. As I continue to live as usual, there is something that tends to come up here.
"I wonder how everyone's doing by now."
“Oh, my God, Julie, that's all I've been talking about lately.”
But Sabel knows how it feels.
The boys and girls who met and fought together in the cold of snow. And the living legend and the famous "Penta", the former bandit and the shoot-down king, the honest young soldier.
The Sabres had only returned to the same wanderlust as before, but they had certainly spent so much time together that they felt uncomfortable there.
I couldn't even imagine joining hands with them and wrestling with the nation. And I managed to make it through.
In the future, anecdotes that surpass this will not arise.
"The Lugos are doing well." For my age, I'm doing fine. Lady Meltina is just worried, and I wonder what Larutz and the others thought... I wonder if the Greekfoot is about to leave again. Hefnell's talking about him. I'm pretty sure you're serious. I can see it in your eyes. "
"Fufu, yeah."
I'm going to have a relationship with the Orkestar organization, but I don't think I need to worry about the strangers. Young as they were, they were soldiers and knights belonging to that powerful Raindill.
With a wise Belgrette and a protégé of a thousand, the people around you, including Edvin and Lenore, will be reassuring.
Of course, Saber didn't mean to relax.
You can easily look inside the passenger compartment of a large carriage. Travelers like fellow merchants, who sleep like us, who laugh. The other passengers were six in a row. I'm not picking up any signs of surveillance.
Even though I told you before I broke up with everyone, it's unlikely that Orkestar will ever stretch his index finger on the label again.
If you think of their purpose, the saber was nothing but a "tie." I was just trying to capture Mertina because she just happened to be in range. After it ended in failure, I can't think of Sen who would come back until he purposely drew his manpower.
In view of the fact that I had lost something called Kahine and retreated, it was even better.
While being swayed by the carriage, Sabel changes his mind as he looks at the beautiful landscape outside.
Now, what shall we do for lunch today? What about the inn?
― ― It was at that time that I felt something wrong.
……
Outside the window.
The grassy areas along the road were slowly approaching.
In other words -- this carriage's track is gradually tilting along the street.
"... hey, hey, what's up?" I'm going to plunge into the meadow, even if I'm asleep- "
You can't see it from this type of cab, but the sign is in front of you - stretching your neck toward the rider platform.
Suddenly, a gunshot, and a great shake hit the vehicle. The shock of the carriage trembled, and the screams of the surprised passengers were heard.
The passenger cabin was severely shaken as it climbed onto an unspoiled natural meadow.
Slightly, the carriage stops as it vibrates to the touch.
"Ughh......, are you okay?"
"Damn, what's going on!?"
Riders who were trying to bend over start screaming.
"Hey, ruler! What are you doing!" Were you asleep!? "
An adventurer man who seemed to think the same as Sabel rushed out of the passenger cabin in anger.
Sabel looks sideways at the mate sitting right next to her.
Julie, are you okay?
"Yeah, I'm fine, Sabel."
Open your mouth in relief.
Wow, that was a big accident, huh
"Really? But why so flashy?" This carriage is big because the ruler got a little wet. I was pulling two horses. I can't even imagine getting up off the road-- "
Julie's doubts came to her mind.
I heard a man screaming from the outside.
"-Julie, let's go."
Yeah!
The two treasure hunters who scored the battle don't get carried away by sudden events. You can switch to the next action immediately.
Sabres jumping out of the hoistway. One beat late, followed by several other passengers.
While checking that the passenger compartment they came out of was slightly tilted, they turned to the front gate.
…………
"This is...!"
Sabel and Julie lose their words.
There was a scene that made me want to cover my eyes.
The monk sat properly on the chair holding the reins.
The only thing that was abnormal was that there was no top from the neck. Before she left, the face of the loving old man, who was smiling with a pleasant smile, disappeared in its entirety, and the red and black blood was overflowing like spring water.
And so were the two horses that were towing the vehicle. From the thick and stubborn neck, it disappeared as if it had been blown away.
So they lost control, climbed up the meadow, crashed into the boulder that was popping up, and stopped.
Regardless of the situation analysis,
"Hey, where is the man who just left?"
A light rain fluttered in front of the sabres.
――――
Light rain or cloudless blue sky?
And this strange color...
Sabelle and Julie turn around and jump out of the way faster than they can think of the end.
Shortly after, a strong wind swept away the scene.
No. A huge black shadow of illusions is scattering the grass leaves on the surface.
"Ku...!"
"I'm cumming...!"
Keep your eyes peeled for too much wind.
It leaped up into the sky with a gust of wind.
Sabel, Julie, and the meadows had a black shadow.
"This guy..."
It was a giant bird.
Is the total length of the wings spread out as much as ten miles? Daikon carriages with short, dark grey hair.
The distinctive feature is the long, frizzy white hair that circles the neck only at the base. It was like a collar wrapped around a noble ruler.
The eyes were cloudy green. His mouth was short and sharp, pointed like a prickly sword. And legs that grow curved long nails. On one side, only the head of the man who had just jumped out was grabbed. The blood dripping from under his neck poured like a light rain.
It was grabbed by a claw that was too sharp, and it was dropped. The head of the man who had been abandoned as if he had lost interest was buried in the shadow of the meadow.
"What!? What is this guy!?"
Saber threw out a bitter voice at Julie, who looked up at the huge shadow.
”... no, I can't believe it either... but I remember seeing it in the Complementary Book of Resentment”
An unprecedented magical realm extends far south of here - the "Northern Horizon (North Grandaria)", a super giant tree that rises in the center of it, the Zenitan Sacred Tree "Edon Elephant". The tree height that no one has ever seen is said to range from a few thousand to tens of thousands of miles, but it is said that a monstrous bird snatches at such a giant tree branch.
― ― Commonly known as "Shogun". Category A.
Distinguished name, Visofur.
The legendary demon who fell asleep in a secret environment, "Picket Sky Colored Disaster [Jido Saka]", is said to have been created by Akzelus the "cruel".
"You're kidding!? That's the kind of thing that comes out in a place like this...!"
"I think so too." But the characteristics match too much...! "
The demonic resentment was immense, and the nobleman wrapped a pure white winding around his neck, leisurely flew into the sky, and harbored a dirty green light in both eyes. He was terrifyingly cunning and surely mowed the target's neck.
I know it. No matter what creature loses its head, that's it.
"What the hell is this guy?!"
The screams were those who came out of the carriage late to the savels.
Five adventurers and merchants looked up at the enchanted demon that stagnated in the sky with a dazed face.
"An, get back!" This is what we-- "
--It was a tornado that tore everything apart.
Vizofur descends sharply at a speed unimaginable from its massive massif, sweeping away the position of the surface wreckage in low-flying flight.
"... ugh!"
A black shadow crossed over Julie's succumbing savior. A gust of wind that stopped even breathing raised the roar above their heads. The sound of the glass shattering one after another was heard as the eardrum was crushed.
Unintentionally falling down, crawling around and getting up somehow,
……
In the blink of an eye, the world was changing.
It feels different from the splashing splashes, the frivolous light rain. But the colour - red.
"... son of a bitch..."
Just one breath. Five in an instant.
There are five human bodies that lose their power and blow away while overflowing with blood.
At the height of the blue sky, something in the form of a sphere flies in a parabolic orbit. While the red tail fluttered.
The carriage's windows were all shattered, whether by gliding winds or giant wings colliding.
The eagle swirled in the air, stopping and looking down at Sabel and Julie.
The last of the prey, the other two.
"Let's get on with it, bird boy..." Julie, pair up. "
Yeah.
The two snuggled up and stood in line, breathing together.
"-Flaming dance!"
Rustle ~!
The examination was synchronized. The Flaming God and the Wind God responded to the call.
Destroy that blow!
A purple tornado pierced through the line and leapt into the hollow Vizofur.
Direct hits, explosions, and burns. Completing those steps in one go, a monster bird's doomsday demon echoes through the sky.
(...? What the hell is that?)
Its mouth was wrapped in purple flames and screamed. The sharp mouth. It's dexterously shaped to face upward.
(Son of a bitch, it's like... smiling...?)
It was as if a majestic ruler were to wave his arms. As if the sleeves of his clothes were drowning, Vizofur flashed his big wings. In the form of being swung around by the movement, the eagle circled around like a dance show-
The purple flame that was wrapped around her, the attack magic that contained the inflammatory power of all creatures disappeared.
And then,
And...
It was a dull, wet abnormal sound.
………………
Simultaneously.
The right half of the label's field of view disappeared.
Oh, my God.
What happened suddenly?
…………
Something is falling and rolling on the ground in front of you.
……………………
At first, I didn't know what it was.
But I know it somewhere.
"Oh, ah..."
When I got the answer, my smile unexpectedly leaked.
There, on a bent meadow.
Pale red eyeball.
From my heart to this morning, for many years.
It was my own eyeballs, which I used to see in front of the mirror every morning.
"Sa..., Belle"
Rusty Julie's twinkle. Immediately thereafter, the voice turns into a scream.
"............,...... It's okay, calm down......"
Saber discredits the enemies of the void in the left-hand corner of his vision.
It's a mistake.
It wasn't just the slip, mouth, and claws of the giant.
I've been throwing something at you. As can be inferred from the behavior just now, it is probably the vane.
"Damn, you bird bastard... you're quite the master of art, aren't you..."
As they deflated the flames, they were returning the ranged attacks.
It was the inhabitants of the "Northern Horizon (North Grandaria)". It didn't seem like it was that easy to beat.
When I touched it with my hand, the flesh on the right side of my head slipped off. It is like this just by rubbing it. If it was shifted a few more centals inward, it would have pierced my face and ended. Instead, I was lucky not to die instantly.
Blood leaking into the turbulence cannot be ignored. Blood loss is visible unless action is taken promptly.
"Suman, Julie, I can't see the right side. I need an assistant."
I stood to the left.
I left the other half covered in darkness to my companion.
"... oh, I see."
You must have realized that pushing is useless. Right next to it, a sign of close proximity. Sweet aroma.
"...... fu"
It's a strange thing.
Even if you can't see anything, you feel more secure than you can see with your own eyes.
"Oh no, for the second time..." He's just on the verge of falling into the netherworld. "
I've already given up counting.
But--just once, I don't remember giving up getting through.
I know.
That's what you've been up to.
Death is always close by.
The incident at Badalnois earlier was too much. That's why I forgot.
No sacrificial sacrifice on our side as we evolve into a case of that magnitude. Sabel herself, many times standing in the abyss of death, was able to take her life in one place.
It's like somebody's writing... or it's like a dream, it's a good story.
It's too cosy and spacious.
I'm still in my dream. I have such a feeling.
I enjoyed my journey and days with those people I liked. I hope to be able to share it again one day.
I can't tell you about Julie.
That dream, someday.
If you think about it, it won't end here.
As if laughing at Sabel's determination, the massive body of Vizofur floating high vanishes into the darkness. I moved to the blind spot on the side of my lost right eye.
"Sabel, it's okay. I'm with you."
Up close, you can hear the voice of a beloved woman.
"I'll definitely protect you." That's why.... "
"Ha, ha. You can count on me."
When I was a kid? I once used similar words on Julie.
Such a girl now supports herself as an equal.
It has never been so comforting.
That's right.
If we continue to live like this, we will surely die one day. With that in mind, we exchanged that pledge with each other.
Though.
If we can stay together from start to finish, there's nothing more.
Of course, I'm not going to be beaten up here. This is not the end.
Treasure Hunter Sabel and Julie's adventure continues.
Let's let the Diaspora hear about this fierce battle with the monsters.
Therefore, Sabel Arhano was able to cut his tongue without being timid.
"Hey... come anywhere, you fucking big bird." A guy like you was flying in and out, and he couldn't even make the trip. We'll crush the [Ferocity] like a temele here...! "
A comfortable spring day with rattles and sleepy carriage vibrations.
"Oops, we were just talking about this."
"Oh, for example."
The merchants on the road in the big riding carriage looked out the window in horror.
The streets are surrounded by beautiful greenery, with cut rocks creating a unique rural landscape.
It was about a month ago that a terrifying resentment demon appeared in the midst of a common nature that seemed to have no deviance at first sight.
'Cutting the neck', Visoführer.
It seems that the monster that came from the demonic realm and the famous "Northern Horizon (North Grandaria)" accidentally attacked an unlucky carriage that passed by.
Category A - If you encounter this in which you reign supreme, it is nothing but a disaster anymore.
Bad luck, or forsaken by a faithful God. I have no choice but to think so. If there is anything left to do or if there is a lack of skill, we can only hope for the afterlife.
Although the details of the time were unknown, the monster cut off the heads of those who were unlucky, regardless of their nickname.
There were a large number of corpses rolling around without heads, whether people or horses, which was said to have been miserable.
Eventually, this visoführer flies as far as Ladarkaria, the centre of Kadankatia. The castle town was temporarily disturbed by an unprecedented monster raid.
However, the Knights and Troops managed to defeat it in a battle.
The damage was less than expected, but a later investigation revealed that this Visofur was deeply responsible at the time of his arrival.
From before, it was pointed out that the talisman applied to the street was less effective against objects in the air. However, it was also a part that had been overlooked because there was no powerful flying resentment demon in the neighborhood.
However, in response to this incident, Kadankatia began to develop a new talisman.
"... wow, that's it. How dare you!"
Beyond the gentle curve, I could see it.
The edge of a curved road. A lost carriage is said to have crashed into a rock. The grass leaves that were uprooted by Visofur's rampage.
"Wow, is that... burnt?"
I can see something like being knocked down by a gust of wind.
I wonder if the adventurer who was there fought back.
I was able to see not only the traces of the accident, but also the traces of someone fighting... burned their life. In view of the situation, it must have been a skilled chanting sorcerer [Mage].
"But after all, something like a legendary monster called Visofleur came out...?"
"Well, I don't know. But lately, something's been wrong." A resentful demon that wasn't supposed to be in that place suddenly appeared... I hear a lot of stories. Besides, I have an extremely bad feeling about it. The same goes for Predirecke, who was ransacked at Lefe's Tenjutsu Fighting Banquet, and it is said that the [Seal Devil] appeared in Bulk Fault the other day. Whatever it is, the [Knight of the Night] and the [...] What are you, a fighter from some quirky country? but I tried to do something about it..... "
"[Seal the Devil]?" No way, that Gabriel Gavzine!? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No... I wonder if [Knight of the White Night] is the one who will do something about it... no. "
"Anyway, let's pray in this place." Brave warriors who don't even know their names. Thanks to you, we can get through without any trouble. "
The merchants look forward as they pass through the scene of the tragedy in silent prayer.
It's good to think about the people who have been sacrificed here, but they have a life too.
You have to focus on business to achieve your goals and dreams.
Even today, carriages go through a harsh world.
Take the thoughts and dreams of the people who live there.
