Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence
Episode 258: Lucifer the Great Demon
Having met the night attributes, Seiya signed a full contract with Rona and returned to the real world.
"Dear Saiya, you're well. You're safe."
Gilanel delighted with the return of Saiya. Behind it are also the figures of Arthur and D'Arta, who have finished their battle with the Blue Dragon. Seyya just stared silently at Arthur, opening her mouth from her side.
"I know. But wait a minute. I'll tell you when the time comes."
"Oh, okay"
The words felt strongly prepared, so Seyya pursued nothing on the spot for now. Then Dalta rushes over to Seiya like that and happily starts talking about her battle with Aolong.
"Seiya, listen to me! You defeated that monster with my magic!
Everyone can see from the look on Dalta's face, who talks about the Blue Dragon Wars, that she must have done something extraordinary. Seiya smiled and listened to D'Arta.
And at the time of the conclusion of the story of D'Arta, now Gilanel comes to Seyya.
"Dear Saiya, may I have a moment?
"What?
Seiya understands that Gilanel's story is a serious one from that serious perspective. D'Arta also sensibly perceives the air, pulling a step back and conceding Seyya to Gilanel.
"First of all, congratulations on meeting the evening attributes. I was confident that Master Seiya would complete his contract with Luna the Spirit."
"It's been tough, though."
"I guess."
Gillanell laughs bitterly as she puts Luna's thing on the edge of her sight. Apparently Gilanel has bitter memories about Luna.
"So what's the story?
"Yes, I will return the name of Lucifer the Great Demon"
"Does that mean I'm taking over that name?
Gilanel's story could have been anticipated by Seyya. If the Night Attribute is the symbolic power of Lucifer the Great Demon, then Seyya becomes Lucifer the Great Demon at the time he meets that power.
"Exactly. I return to the traditional name of Satan, where Master Seyya becomes the substantial Great Demon King Lucifer. And then at the next meeting of demon kings, they will officially take over from Master Seiya, who is Lucifer the Great Demon, for both his fame and his name."
"Right."
Seyya remembers all sorts of things when she hears about the Demon Kings. Seyya has been in numerous demon kings so far, including Broad-Mamon in Dacrya II District. Some of them were in conflict, but it seems tiring to be those kings. But you cannot escape the name. Because that's Saiya's role.
"Gilanelle, keep asking for me"
"Sincerely, I will make a sincere effort"
Thus Seyya obtained the name of Lucifer the Great Demon.
The two who see such a sight from a distance are Arthur the Holy Knight and Luna the Spirit who presides over the night. The two of them were crossing words, looking at Seyya.
"Long time no see, Luna. Or is it Lorna now?
"You have no predominantly called Lona, Holy Knight"
"Hmm, he's as unconnected as ever"
"Of course not. I can't endorse what the Lord is trying to make Seyya do."
There is a sinister air running between us.
"That's for the world."
"The world? I can't make you laugh. For your revenge."
"It's tough when they say that."
"Tell you what, concubines don't forgive their lords and sisters"
"I know."
The two never exchanged words after that. There was only such a sinister air between them that no one else could get in.
The place has changed. A certain joint cemetery in Aquaristan. There was already one figure in the late-night cemetery surrounded by darkness. The identity of the figure is a boy about ten years old. Given the time and place, it was heterogeneous to have children on the spot. There is no sign of the child's parents around.
"This."
When the child stands in front of one tombstone, he unfolds a purple magic formation, causing the earth under the tombstone to vanish in an instant. And when you magically take the coffin out of the dirt, you expand the two magic formations. One is a white, shining magic formation. The other is the black magic formation.
As the magic team disappeared into the coffin, the coffin swayed rattled. That's like the body inside moved.
It was then.
"What are you doing there"
The Lord of voices called to the child was a short distance from the child. The man is a muscular man with brown hair, with a big sword in his hand. The man, who is inflexible to see, doesn't look like a robber at night. But at the same time, they didn't look like the kind of parents who came to protect their children.
"Hey, you're a magician."
"You know, you're a monster."
"You're out of your mind with monsters. Mr. Krazus from Spirit Bird, the premier magician."
"You know me."
"Of course I did. You're a celebrity in this country, too."
He says he's dealing with a premium magician, but he doesn't even make you feel the fear of fine dust. The kid continues the conversation with an extra look.
"And you're new, too. Mr. Gazelle-Third of the Thirteenth Apostolic Sequence."
The child's gaze was pointed far rearward of Glazas.
(You mean you noticed?
(Sounds like)
It is Gazelle, the third magician in the Thirteenth Apostolic Sequence, who is in conversation with Krazus through the Talking Stone. They are magicians who were entrusted by the Episcopal Church to deal with the presence of dangerous elements in Leiria. (* See second half of Episode 222)
"I don't think it makes sense to aim for a sniper from three kills away."
"You mean you see the other side?
Glazus can't hide his confusion in words that are hard to believe by. But the child answered with an unrelenting grin.
"Of course, magical sniping is a recent epidemic."
"That's enough of a monster to be on guard until three kills away."
"Well, maybe from a fragile existence like yours."
The two of you don't remember the anger in that word. Because I knew that even a leading magician of Leiria couldn't do anything in front of that child.
"And I'd like to ask you one more thing, what are you guys up to?
"Hmm, you think I'll answer that?
"Well yeah, right? There's some means of torture, but now I think I'll stop it."
From the words, it was clear that I was saying that I could torture at any time. There is fatty sweat on Klazas forehead.
"I don't know what you guys are doing, but you're welcome to entertain me. But be careful. If I don't have time, I'll put you together and wipe you out."
Terrible words released from an uncontrolled grin.
"Well, it's about greeting today, so I guess I'll have some free time with this. I got what I was looking for."
With that said, the child disappears into the colorless magic formations that have unfolded on the ground. The coffin I took out of the grave is with me. And the silence to visit.
As soon as Klazas poured his magic into the Talking Stone, he confirmed.
(Any reaction?
(No. completely disappeared)
(Right)
There is no disheartening color in that word. It sounds rather reassuring.
(I'll be back soon. If you don't let that one know)
(Right. that the showdown is close)
When he finished his reading, Krazus saw the tombstone that had been drained from the coffin. The name that was written there was Leonardo. The name was the name of a man who used to be the dean of the Arsenian School of Magic.
