Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence

Episode 256: Who Demon King Mode is

The sword unleashed by the Spirit Luna flew from three directions towards Seyya. As one detours from the left side, one is linear from the right and ends up slightly behind the two from the front of the seiya.

Seyya first decided that the sword from the right would reach her and tried to shoot that sword off with Hollins holding it in her right hand. But at that moment when Seyya tried to drop her sword with Hollins holding it in her right hand, Hollins would be shattered and scattered without withstanding the impact of the sword.

"I did..."

I wanted to regret my reckless behavior, Seiya, but I have to deal with the sword from the left before I do. There is only one option that was picked by a badly postured seiya for shooting down a sword from the right. Shoot down that sword with Hollins holding it in your left hand. After all, Hollins, who was holding it in his right hand as well as Hollins holding it in his left hand, is not able to withstand the shock of the sword and will be crushed and scattered.

All that remained on the ground were the remains of Hollins and the remains of two swords. But there is only one sword left unleashed by the Spirit Luna. Seyya avoided getting wounded by dodging that sword behind her.

"Show it ho... it was..."

Crushed Hollins, Seyya tries to generate a new Hollins, but remembers that she was herself sealed with magic. It must be because of habit that I have tried to exercise the magic that I usually unintentionally exercise in this situation.

Seyya takes the sword of the Spirit Luna, who was piercing the ground in front of her.

"I knew you'd never get used to a sword."

Seiya crushes unexpectedly when she sees that sword in her right hand. The sword is worth a fortune, but it compares to the double-sword Hollins that I'm used to using.

There have been several times before when the double-sword Hollins have been crushed, but each time they had been recreated in holy attributes. Double Sword Hollins is also a partner from the falling age for Seyya and is just the sword of love.

So I think Seiya fu.

"With that said, how long have I been using holy attributes..."

I wondered.

"When you remember the dark attributes? No, it's not. It's when I'm dying."

That's the battle against the White Tiger in the Dallis Grand Canyon. Seyya was on the verge of dying after being attacked by a white tiger with a thunderbeast or something, or was able to use the Holy Attribute there for the first time.

"Didn't death trigger it?

Seiya tried to deny it was impossible, but the emergence of Demon King mode likewise had something to do with death. But it wasn't Seyya's death, it was Yua's death, who was one of us at the time. Yua died in the battle with Lily, and after that, Saiya, who was so saddened, was also killed.

I don't see why death has anything to do with it. Maybe that's a total coincidence, and there's some other factor. But Seyya never hesitated. Because there was one hypothesis in Seyya.

"What are you doing!?

Luna, the Spirit, who sees Seyya's actions and rushes to make him stop. But there's no need for her to rush. Because Seyya took the sword in her hand to her own chest, and she's still trying to pierce that heart.

"I believe in my power."

"Stop it!

The desperate stillness of the Spirit Luna was also murky, and Seyya pierced her own heart with that sword. Seyya lost consciousness when she fell on the spot.

Seyya woke up in a mysterious space. But that is the world of the deep consciousness of Seyya, and I knew that if I came here, I would get something.

Hey, you're here.

(Are you here again)

(Oh, I need new powers.)

(You still want strength?

A mysterious voice that answers Seyya's words with some overwhelming voice. But Seiya doesn't mind continuing the conversation.

(You know that too, don't you? how I feel)

You know what I am, don't you?

(Somehow. You're the fear I created.)

(Yes)

Shortly after that word, one boy shows up before Seyya. The boy is a muscular boy with white hair in his red eyes, or Seiya in Demon King mode.

(I am created out of fear of your death. It was still weak. It's a phantom you created)

The first time I thought of it was when Seyya faced death in the example facility. And thanks to that voice, Seyya mastered the dark attributes and took herself off the crisis. That is also the emergence of Demon King mode when fighting Lily.

(Does fear of death mean the death of others?)

(That's right. When I was in Demon King mode, I responded to your voice because I learned to fear that Yua would die)

In other words, the voice appeared when Seyya felt a sense of fear or loss for the event of 'death', a kind of self-defense to confront that dreadful sense of loss in a pseudo manner. That's why Seyya always remembered to be drunk by his presence.

But not now. Seyya knows what it is. And now fear about any thing.

(Now I'm afraid of the great power of night attributes, aren't I?

(That's right. While you noticed the tremendous power, you avoided it)

(I see)

Saiya was finally convinced there. Why, as I approached the Spirit Luna, the voice of Demon King Mode grew louder within me. That was because as we approached the Spirit Luna, we began to see one end of the power called night attributes, and anxiety aroused as to whether we could control ourselves and were swallowed up.

(Well, you're all right now)

(Why?

(I have you. And Rona)

(Stop it, it's disgusting. I'm not glad you said that to yourself)

(Is that so?)

The look on Seiya's face, who replied so, was somewhere sunny.

(You don't seem scared anymore)

(Sort of. Sure, it's true that at first I was afraid of the kind of power that would create the world, but that fear also disappeared when I watched Rona use it)

That would also be significant because the user was an old friend. Rona never attempted to inflict a fatal injury while making an attack like trying Seyya. Maybe Seiya survived that fear by seeing Lorna as a night attribute.

Whatever it was, Seyya stopped being afraid of the phantom created by the fear of another Seyya.

Well, then I'm sorry to help you anymore.

(That's right. I'm sorry you showed up like your father on purpose)

Seyya's father, Keith-Lucifer, is exactly two Seyya and Melon in Demon King mode. That can be seen from the words of Broad-Mamon, the demon king who ruled Dacrya II, and from the childhood memories of Seyya.

(No, you're the one who made it look like this)

I wasn't aware of it.

(I would have unconsciously chosen to look like my father. as beings that one day have to cross)

(I guess so)

If you say so, maybe so. That's another seiya. I know a lot about Saiya.

(Then I suppose I disappear. Even so, it was you originally)

(Oh, thanks. and keep it up)

(Mutually)

Seyya in Demon King mode disappeared as a grain of light. But there was certainly him in Seyya.

Saiya wakes up. There is no dirt but scratches on its chest. On the contrary, all the scratches and dirt received in previous battles had disappeared. That's as if that fact had been made to disappear.

"Seiya, are you kidding me?

"Well, let's go on."

Sayer said so, generating Hollins in both hands, looking to see about Rona.
