Is that what you mean? Apparently, you thought you could drag that soul out and drag me down a lot. "

Exactly. That's why I joined forces with Kiel and dragged the soul of the former champion out of his body. But reality has turned out to completely betray expectations.

"I know you thought you retained your existence by gaining strength from the souls you took into my body, but that's your mistake in the first place. Because by the time the seal was lifted, I had completely regained my power."

"What...!? Then why..."

"I wonder why my resurrection would have required a soul for 1,000 human beings? The abominable gate that had sealed me - what you call the Gate of the Phantom Beast - was created by a spell that the man activated at the time of his death: the prison of his soul.

With that man, I'm pretty sure he's referring to his former king.

"With my power, I could not break the seal by [the prison of my soul]. But only one way existed to lift the spell. That's..."

"To sacrifice the soul of a thousand human beings, or..."

Kiel also looked like her first ear. After all that time, I can tell you that there is no way that the way to unseal the seal was distorted and passed on.

"I waited. Thousands of years. Finally, a man who offered his offering to unseal me appeared. That's how we came back to life in our time."

I bite my teeth. Isn't this like Kiel's measures were decided to fail from the beginning?

"And I'll tell you another thing. There is no longer any power left in the soul you have just taken from my body. Because I sucked up power from that soul and took it in completely as my strength."

"What...!?"

"It wasn't just the soul of a man who crossed over with me, but the time for hatred was twelve minutes. What you're holding is just a shell out."

I can gently force my right hand. [M] Then the soul of the former reigning king turned into dust without a shudder, and flowed into the wind and vanished.

You know, you've done everything you could, you know.

"I had a wife's hand, but didn't I have to use it? It's time to get easier. Spell [Heavenly Lightning Strike]!

A thunderbolt strikes from the sky at me. It was already too late when I thought I had to dodge it, and I was supposed to feed on the thunderstorm.

"Huh!?"

Unexpectedly shocked from the side, I rolled down the ground. Kiel pushed my body. [M]

"Ha ha...!!"

Instead, a thunderbolt of phantom beasts burst into Kiel's body. There was no way he could have been safe eating the phantom beast attack, and Kiel fell and lay on the ground.

"Kiel!!"

I got up and ran over to Kiel. [M] Did you say you took my place? [M]

"Stay with me!! Are you okay?!?"

"... Huh. Big time, huh? Don't worry, HP hasn't run out. Physical toughness is the only thing that matters..."

I was relieved to hear Kiel's voice for a moment. It would be tantamount to a miracle to eat a phantom beast attack properly and have a breath.

"Why are you imitating this...!?"

"... Come on, man. I don't know either. If you noticed, your body was moving on its own..."

Kiel smiles bitterly. There doesn't seem to be anything else in my life, but I'm no longer in a state where I can obviously fight. Even if you want to heal him with a spell, the healing spell cannot be applied due to the properties of the phantom beast.

"Totally. Keep squeaking out great, but I don't know who this is. I feel sorry for you..."

"That's not true. You did a great job. Leave the rest to me, you rest."

"... right. Now let me sweeten your words..."

Kiel closes her eyes quietly. I slept Kiel in the shadow of a rock rolling nearby and stood up.

"Now you're alone again. The measure of blame will also end empty-handedly, and the heart will be on the verge of breaking. Still going to turn your teeth on me?

"Whatever."

I answered instantly. No matter how desperate the situation may be, keep fighting to the end. Because what I give up here means the end of the world.

"Unless this soul is crushed... the rest of the fighting will never go away!!"

"Ugh..."

Sasha, whose consciousness returned, rose up slowly and looked around first.

That was the first place I saw it. The space itself is stained with rainbow color, and it feels as if it is also in the Aurora. Sasha thinks as she traces her memories of where the hell we are.

Surely I was outside Azito. And when I saw a world that was going to be smeared in pitch black, I sensed that some kind of extraordinary spell had been activated.

When I was ready for the end of the world, a huge black vortex suddenly appeared above me, swallowed up in it. Probably that vortex was going through this space.

Then Sasha noticed that Lina had fallen a little further away. If you look closely, it's not just Lina, it's Selena, Asta and Sue too. Apparently, Lina and the others were swallowed by a vortex with Sasha.

"Everybody okay?!?"

Sasha wakes up Lina and the others in turn. Fortunately, none of the four of them saw any physical abnormalities or anything, and soon all regained consciousness.

"Whoa, what the hell is this place!? No way heaven!? Are we dead?!?"

"... I think it would be hell if Asta were to die"

"That's terrible, Sue! I've done so much wrong to hell. I don't remember!

"... don't worry. This is neither heaven nor hell."

"Then you're dreaming!? Sue, try to snap my cheek!

"Yes."

"Idadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadadad!!

Sasha sighed unexpectedly when she saw my paced Asta and Sue in this situation as well.

"Sasha, where the hell are we?

Lina asks Sasha in a low voice.

"I'm not sure, either, but it seems we were forced to fly into this space by some kind of spell. When it comes to people who are capable of this kind of art..."

"... brother, is it?

"Maybe."

That giant vortex emerged as the world was being filled with pitch black. Sasha guessed that Ute probably evacuated us into this space to protect us.
