Episode 188: Place of Death

"... I didn't expect to see you here, King"

Kiel landed next to me, feathering white wings that did not resemble that muscular body. It doesn't look like you're here to settle with me.

"Kiel, why are you here?

"... I was looking for Mica. I didn't know you were there."

Kiel squeaks when he looks at the woods. Apparently, Kiel's eyesight doesn't suck with mine either.

"Mika...... are you fighting someone? Is he under your command?

"Oh. It's Micah's sister, Yuna"

Answering that, Kiel turned to me with a surprised look.

"Sister, you say? What's this all about? They do look a lot alike..."

"... it looks like Mika hasn't heard anything from you."

Then I told Kiel that Yuna and Micah were born sons between angels and demons, that Micah's life probably wasn't that long, and that Micah was about to kill Yuna and die together. After hearing everything, Kiel closed her eyes and sighed deeply.

"I see. Is that how Micah's body is weak? I didn't know anything about him..."

Kiel spreads his back wings again and still tries to fly away. I grabbed Kiel's shoulder and took control of it.

"Wait. What are you going to do?

"It's decided, stop that struggle. Micah is not a decent fighter today."

"You mean watering down serious battles? Not even you, Kiel."

"... sure, maybe I got Yaki around too"

Kiel laughs powerlessly. But the look was more serious than usual.

"But I was entrusted by Seal with the desire to protect Micah. The belief inherited from Seal is my reason for being a Seven Star Angel."

For that reason, I don't mind if I scratch my pride - such a strong will could be seen from Kiel.

"You're the one who doesn't think anything of it when you look at that one? The real sisters are killing each other. Even I, who have crossed many battlefields, do not sneak to see that struggle"

I stare quietly at Yuna and Mika, who are fighting a fierce death in the woods.

"If it had been a while before, I would have agreed with your words and stopped that struggle. But it's only temporary to be saved. I'm not really going to save you."

"... it weighs heavily on words."

When I saw Kiel close his back wing, I took my hand off my shoulder.

"There was once another guy who tried to save me. I thought I saved him on my own and I let him die as a result..."

Raphael's face floats behind my brain.

But I won't repeat the same mistake again. To truly save those two...

"Ku...!!"

Yuna even continues to outshine the onslaught of sword strikes carried out from Micah. Despite his worn out body, Micah's movements were more agile than ever. The unwavering will to absolutely take my sister on the road is also passed on to Yuna through the sword.

Micah hunts Yuna backwards as she cleaves the trees. According to Micah's memory, it's a big step ahead of Yuna's back. So Yuna tries to prune her life into the gap where she stepped off her feet, that was Micah's aim. This is the forest where Micah spent her childhood with her sister. I remember the terrain like it was yesterday.

Jirijiri and Yuna are forced to retreat. It was a step ahead of the proposal. A few more steps until Yuna steps off her feet. Micah was convinced of the victory and distorted her mouth.

But at that spot, Yuna jumped backwards with her back to the steps and landed on the ground downwards. It is a move that we obviously knew from the beginning that there were steps behind us.

"... haha. Oh, right..."

As Micah did, Yuna also remembered every inch of this forest terrain. It was obvious to me.

"Gaha, geho...!!"

Micah vomiting blood. The price of being torturing the flesh beyond its limits is nothing small. I can see my whole body screaming and my life being shredded at an unusual speed.

But that no longer mattered to Micah. Because Micah has nothing to lose right now. Micah dies sooner or later anyway. It doesn't matter if you have life until the moment you kill Yuna.

"Hey...... honey...!!"

A little distraction would make you unconscious. No longer wiping the blood flowing out of her mouth, Micah sets her sword and looks straight at Yuna. To that tremendous temper, Yuna had to be overwhelmed.

"Micah... no way here for a place to die from the start...!?"

To Yuna's words, Micah smiles small.

"... that's right. I die here. I spent time with your sister in this forest. With your sister!!"

Micah driving for Yuna. Yuna also rushes out as if to respond to it. The two swords tried to bump into each other again, and then...

!!

A fierce voice sounded and the ground trembled loudly. The two stop at the same time and keep an eye on the voice. One giant monster appeared with the trees soon to be blown away.

With the eyes of hostility stripping, the monster gazes at Yuna and Mika. The uninvited beast began attacking them relentlessly.

"That's..."

The unexpected appearance of the monster could also be captured by me and Kiel, who watched the two fight from the top of the mountain. Probably drawn to the bitter death struggle between the two of them, which inspired their fighting instincts. It's crazy.

I can't grasp the status of the monster from here, but as far as I can tell from my posture, I probably don't have 500 levels. But it could be enough of a threat to Yuna and Micah today, who are wearing out in intense combat.

"... Still, are you going to keep watching?

Kiel asks to try somewhere. But my will remained the same.

"Don't worry. The rest of your men and your people shouldn't be weak enough to do it for every monster like that."

I decided to see what happened without moving from this place. [M]
