Lesson 181: The Forsaken

"Dear Yout, that sword...!

Ahead of Henri's eyes, there was a [grudge sword] that sucked up Gabri's blood in full.

Basically, the effect of a spell automatically disappears if the chanter of that spell dies. That's how the space created by Gabriel's [Space Genesis] collapsed. Exceptionally, however, there are also spells whose effects do not disappear when the chanter dies. Apparently, that [grudge sword] is one of them.

"... let's keep this for a while"

I pick up the [grudge sword]. Not that I wanted anything else, but I can't leave such a disastrous sword alone. It would also be possible to destroy it if you were willing to do so.

"Dear Yout, I don't see Elitra..."

"... um"

Nodding at Yuna's words. I don't even feel any sign of Elitra-like, so I'm pretty sure he's not around.

"Didn't you lose the struggle of the Seven Star Angels and lose your life...?

"That would be unlikely. I don't think it's easy for a man like Elitra to get killed."

It was Henri who answered that.

"... right? Henri used to fight Elitra and lose."

"Become!? Yu, don't say that in front of Yout!!"

Henri lost to Elitra? Such an idiot - I would say that the first seat of the Four Extinct Demons was originally Elitra, and it was a story that could be enough.

I also consider it unlikely that Elitra would have died of a defeat in her struggle with Kiel. If so, Kiel would have answered that too. But Kiel didn't answer anything when I asked her. I don't think Kiel has the personality to cloud the outcome of the duel.

Then what the hell happened to Elitra... I just have to hope Elitra is safe now, more than I have a clue.

"It's Henri sometimes. You've put a lot of effort into this fight. Did Gabri do anything to you while you were in captivity?

"Thank you for your concern. My purity remains preserved, as there is no indication of anything slutty being done to my body. So I was wondering if there was any obstacle to dedicating this body to Lord Ute."

That's not what I want to talk about... With that in mind, I gently put my hand on Henri's head.

"Your spell was essential for the rest of the ploy to bury Gabriel, but it couldn't be done without more trust with you than that. I am very grateful to you. You're the best partner I have left."

…………

"Henri?"

Pathan. Henri falls to the ground with her eyes heartmarked. Apparently I've lost much of my mind in gratitude. Well, it wasn't the reaction I expected. I held Henri's body as I sighed.

"Shall we go back to King's Castle, Yuna?"

"Yes."

I activated [Moving Moments] and returned to King's Castle with Henri and Yuna.

The Second World War with the Seven Stars Angels came to an end.

"Ugh..."

Shortly after the death fight with the king ended. Gabri, regaining consciousness, slowly opened his eyes as he leaked a groan.

Is it heaven or hell? No, neither. It was undoubtedly the real world there. It is the 'sanctuary of the sky' where Gabriel is now.

If you look up, there is a castle that Kiel created with the spell of [creation] as an alternative to the seven-star Mitsuko castle. In the immediate vicinity Gabri was lying.

Why the hell am I here? In a cloudy consciousness, Gabri traces his own memories.

"Yes... I...!

The figure of the king is reflected in his brain, humiliation and anger coming from within Gabriel. Yes, only a few moments ago Gabriel was defeated in his struggle against the king and reached a tragic end.

Gabriel's measures were perfect. By taking in Raphae's soul, he increased his power to the limit, trapped the king and greatly reduced his status, and also sealed the activation of the High Star Spell. And after taking the lead in the all-time struggle for the hostages and making them fully aware of their outward path, they buried the king by the time he had no skin - it was supposed to be.

But it was Gabri who was in the trap. Gabri was forced to self-harm by the heinous ploy of the king and pierced his heart with his own hands. Everything was only on the palm of the king.

While rolling his hatred of the reigning king even more, Gabri remembers to question. So why are you living like this? Gabri did die then. I thought for a moment about whether someone had used [Dead Sluts] to bring them back to life, but since no will exists in person for those resurrected by that spell, I shouldn't even be able to think about it this way.

Other resuscitation spells may have been used, but they only exist enough to count in the world, such as those who can use resuscitation spells, including [death riots] in the first place. At least I don't know anything but myself in Gabriel's memory. The [final lights] Seal possessed are close to that, but that's not technically a resuscitation spell because it's a spell that allows activity in a corpse state.

But it didn't matter why Gabriel came back to life. It means that we have a better chance of fighting the King again than we have of coming back into the world like this. This time I just happened to be a good hegemonic. Next time you fight, I'm the one who wins. Gabri was so sure.

But somehow my body is powerless and I can't even stand up. And even if you want to activate the spell, you can't activate it for some reason. The cause is unknown, but now it's more of a concern to you than the reason for your resurgence. In this state, we are not about to take revenge on the King. Gabri continued desperately using his hands and legs as he crawled, aiming for the castle in front of him.

"Dear Gabri!?"

"What the hell did you do!?"

When Gabri somehow opened the castle door, the junior angels who were on the spot ran over by chance. Gabri stares sharply at them like that.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... do something about my condition now than something...!!"

Gabri says in a weak voice. He couldn't even speak properly anymore.

"What can I do...?

"I don't know - but my body doesn't have the strength and I can't use the spell...!! So somehow get me back to normal...!! That's how much incompetent Temei and others can do...!!"

…………

To a sudden, unscrupulous order, the junior angels turn to each other silently.

"Oi, are you listening to me?

Unexpectedly Gabri's words stop. As soon as Gabriel found out that he was powerless now, the eyes of the lower angels had turned into eyes as if looking down at a dying pest.

"Dear Gabriel, I'm sorry, but there's nothing we can do."

"Even if we could, we wouldn't want to save you."

"... what?

Gabri opened her eyes wide to what they had said, which she did not anticipate.

"As those who pledge allegiance to the Seven Star Angels, we are prepared to give our lives for the Seven Star Angels."

"But more than ever, we thought your savage behavior was unworthy of the Seven Star Angel."

"In short, you don't deserve a pledge of allegiance."

The lower angels wind up as if clearing up their previous depression. Gabri had lost much of the word of the shock.

"I don't know what happened, but with that terribly debilitating look, you won't keep it that long."

"Stop wasting your feet scratching and sleep in peace like this"

"Now if you'll excuse me."

The junior angels, with all due respect, left Gabriel alone and left the scene.
