Hyaku Ma No Aruji

It was only three minutes after Van Esther approached the city that Celester-Barca made his way through the abundant woods and reached the fortified city that was nearby.

But in just three minutes, things had changed dramatically.

"That's just how you worked out, Celeste. I couldn't finish it by the time you got here."

Black smoke was rising from the corner of the fortified city.

The first thing Celester saw as he reached the place where that black smoke was rising was the sight of multiple burning and collapsing houses in that city facing a cliff and the appearance of two men confronting each other on that cliff.

One was Van-Ester's appearance.

"Orlando!"

"Hello, Doctor"

Celeste arrives on the spot out of breath and immediately raises her voice.

I looked familiar to the man facing Van.

This is Orlando, the apprentice I was chasing.

"Out of the way, Van. It's not a matter of you sticking your neck in it."

"No, Celeste. This guy is killing five people in a fortified city. This isn't just about you anymore."

"Huh..."

Van said with a rugged look as he let the wind's six wings unfold on his back.

Orlando, who is hunted down by Van and driven to his back by the cliffs of the fortified city, shows a grin at the words of that Van.

The grin completely destroyed the slightest hope that was in Celester.

"The surgical ceremony the teacher taught me was very useful. I'm going to go to Empire Wise and kill the man who started that war."

"Stop it, Orlando. It's..."

"Don't tell me it's pointless. It means a lot to me. That's fine with me if I'm satisfied. And the teacher is lousy and clumsy, so you don't have to think about rounding it up with words. Just spit out the poison as usual and stop me."

said the youth.

"You're not a disciple to Dada. I know you very well. Except for the poisonous tongue."

With that said, Van opened his right hand and put it up in heaven.

"But you don't know what you're doing. You made at least five people who were in the same situation as you are now."

Celester heard a cry there.

And when he turned his eyes to the voice, the inhabitants of the fortified city, and the thinkers, were covered with weeping over the blackened human remains.

Celester's heart made a nasty jump.

"I guess. But it's okay. I hope I'm satisfied."

"Oh, then you're the Demon King."

Shortly afterwards, Van released the Spirit of the Word.

"Black Wind."

Crushing the activation language of the surgical ceremony, a huge amount of wind rises from Van's feet, rising to heaven high.

In the wind, it was colored.

"That's the" Black Wind "that wielded so much power in the" Noggles War "! They scrape anything they touch off! Ha ha, that's Wind God, you have no less skill than a teacher!

"Shut up, your compliments piss me off three thousand times as much as Celester's poisonous tongue"

The black wind, which erupted as it whirled from Van's feet, converged at the tip of Van's hand, which was hoisted in heaven, and eventually rose further up to symbolize the shape of an organism.

"- Dragon."

Close to snakes.

Long torso with hands and feet.

He had a mustache in his mouth and a huge horn growing out of his head.

"I see your surgical ceremony mimics the creatures in the myth. Speaking of which, those six wings are also very similar to the wings of angels that appear in mythology."

……

Van did not answer Orlando's words immediately.

With his hands up in heaven, he looks at Orlando and finally opens his mouth.

"Who told you that story?"

"There he is, to the teacher"

"Right."

Van answered briefly, then snapped small.

"You really adored this guy, Celeste."

……

Celester bit his lip.

"So I knew you shouldn't have put your hands on it."

There was force in Van's right hand. Celeste didn't miss it.

"I don't need you to go ahead and talk to me on your own. Even I can't do it for free. Or in the first place, I won't be killed by you."

Shortly after, a white thunder dwelt on Orlando's body.

That white thunder, which can be played violently by Baba, is exactly the "White Thunder of Thunder God (Celester-Barca)."

"No, I'll kill you. You shouldn't have left Celeste yet. - It was too soon to betray you."

"Bullshit -!

Moment after moment, a white thunder ran straight.

As he intercepted it, Van waved down the hand he was putting up in heaven.

"Bite it down," "The Black Dragon of St. Berceus," Radarud St. Berceus. "

A black wind dragon opens his jaw and shoots through the sky.

◆ ◆ ◆

"Have you calmed down a little?"

"This is our dialogue. How dare you let that go all over the city?"

"I wouldn't have used it if it weren't for the fortified city. There's no harm in shooting outside the cliff."

……

Van and Celester sat tossing their feet out at the cliffs of the fortified city.

"... I don't take disciples anymore"

Orlando is dead.

Shortly after he was fatally injured by Van's blow, he was pierced in the heart by Celester, who was similarly wrapped in white thunder.

Van could not perceive the figure until Celester stuck a handknife to Orlando's chest. It was that fast.

"An apprentice?... Don't say that. Maybe it's a good idea for you to teach people things."

"How can you say that?"

"Orlando was strong. Except for you, it's amazing how young you can handle white thunder. Maybe your way of teaching was better."

"But Orlando went the wrong way"

"Then let him live next."

"You tell me to take my apprentice again...!

Turning away from the setting sunset, Celester released her words emotionally.

"Many innocent people have died because of me...!

"This time it was. But your next apprentice might save someone with your power"

"Your words are irresponsible, Van."

"Yes, I'm irresponsible. So I can still laugh."

Van made a big stretch and fell straight into the back. Green silver hair shakes in the wind of the fortified city.

"You don't make the same mistake, Celeste. Because I'm irresponsible and stupid, I say things by my own account. - You should raise people, Celeste."

"I don't like it. I don't want to think like this again."

"No. You raise people for you, again. Otherwise, you will die holding 'untrained'."

"What do you know about me..."

Celester covered his eyes with one hand and said with a trembling voice.

"If you don't know who to raise, raise your son."

I don't have a son.

"Sooner or later."

"I can't. I have children, etc."

"Why not?"

"I was born under that fate"

To Celeste's point, Van puts his neck up.

But I didn't ask deeply.

"Well, no. But I knew you'd raise someone. So, when someone you raised saves someone else, you're gonna be free from this one."

"I'm not going back what I lost, Van"

"You're too humble, Celeste. Of course, I'm not saying everything goes back to normal. But I'm sure your heart will clear up a little bit.... that's what it is."

"Really, a man who says things with his senses"

That said, Celester also knocked his body back again.

They throw only their feet off the cliff and look up into the sky as they adjacent each other.

White first-class stars were beginning to shine in the evening.

"Then how about this? - If you start raising someone, I can help you."

"Help?"

"That's right. That'll lighten your burden, and even if you're about to teach it the wrong way, one of you might notice. - It's flashing, Celeste. Hit me and your power on him. I'm sure it'll be interesting."

"Is there a human being in this world who can accept your and mine at the same time?"

"I might be there. The world is wide, Celester. Now, a kid in the Orient seems to handle the technique very well. He's just a kid."

"It's a rumor. There's no certainty."

"That's why I was trying to make sure."

So you were headed for Lindholm Spiritual Mountain.

"It's the quickest way to get to the Eastern Continent."

"He's an upright one."

"Neither do you."

For a while there was silence between them.

"... if anyone worthy to raise appears beside me"

Celester said it was pompous.

"... if you say so much, you can raise him only once."

"Okay, then it's settled. Don't forget that word. -" Don't forget to die, Celeste. "

"It's an exaggerated one.... Ok. Promise."

Van accidentally woke up and smiled at Celester.

It was a bright, innocent grin like a child.

"Well, we'll decide what to teach now"

"You're fast."

"To avoid wasting time when someone else shows up."

"I wish I could teach you how to wrap up white thunder. All the pieces of my procedure are stuck in it."

"Well, I..."

Van goes slightly there. He seems worried about which one.

"You tell me" Six Wings. "The ceremony that mimics that angel encapsulates the most beautiful of your ceremonies."

"Don't you have to be" Black Wind "?

"I don't like that procedure. The composition of the ceremony is rough and somewhat cluttered. In addition, there is a risk that the teaching ceremony will have a negative impact."

"Well. Then let me be the first to teach you the six wings. - I wonder how far he can go when he can use your white thunder and my six wings and two at the same time."

"If you can move faster than me or you by using both procedures at the same time, you can go farther than anyone else."

"Well, I look forward to it."

"It's a dream story so far."

"'Cause it's okay. Someday someone will show up who's worthy of teaching."

"I wonder"

Saying, Celester smiled.

Celeste looks up at the sky stained in the evening as she falls asleep and makes a wish in her heart on that white first-class star.

- If Van is right, there are enough people somewhere in the world to teach the way.

Celester meditated his eyes.

- Give me another chance.

"Is that it? Are you crying? Celester."

"- Is there a reason, idiot?"

The tears of "Thunder God" convey his bright white skin and lead to a distant future.

The two of us did not yet know that the tears and wishes would soon be passed on to the Son of the English Spirit.
