Hyaku Ma No Aruji

Melea also noticed just a few seconds late on the blue snake coming with the snow sharpened in her belly.

"That's..."

A translucent snake, as if it were made of glass-colored water.

Merea's red eyes instantly reveal that the snake is not a regular snake.

The "Magic Eye of the Surgical God" showed the complex maneuvers that make up the body of the serpent.

◆ ◆ ◆

The glassy snake approaches Merea with a dull feeling of exhaustion.

The neck I was bringing was drooling, and the body that drew the snow was all over the soil when I looked closely.

Body as if it had been two or three turns by the time I got here.

"Dear Merea, come and see me"

Marisa, aware of its existence as well, stood before Melea.

I've already pulled the dagger out of my hips.

"Wait, Mariza"

But that's how Melea controls Mariza, who stood in front.

"No hostility toward her"

Melea doesn't even know why I said her.

It's just that from the moment I saw it, I knew she was a woman.

- My eyes are hot.

But it didn't matter to Melea at that time, such as the anomaly.

We have to save her as soon as possible.

Tremors are coming from the bottom of my body.

Merea didn't know what the tremor was.

"I finally see you. My Prince."

When Merea ran away, a voice rose from the rugged snake.

The demon kings who were on the spot are breathtaking to the inexperienced serpent and the presence of the sperm that burns as much as the obsession visualized from that serpent.

It was like a glittering, glowing glow of life.

"Oh, don't die!

Melea's cry, rushing over to the rugged snake, aroused the sanity of the demon kings who were swallowed by its unusual sight.

◆ ◆ ◆

'Haha, I could see you because of this, but you won't die any time soon, Prince. - Nevertheless, it's more than I imagined. The real thing is so much cooler than I thought. "

The glassy snake falls into Merea's hands.

No heart, or its appearance was fading.

"What's the matter, what's happened"

'You're not surprised. I'm such a body, and I've just met you.'

Merea lifted the rugged snake and wrapped it to warm with her nostalgia.

The rugged snake narrows his eyes comfortably.

"I'm not sure either. But I know you're going to be very hard."

Merea's words were half a lie.

Merea found out why and what kind of path she followed to get here.

When I saw the 'surgical ceremony' enclosed in the rugged snake, I could see her 'memory' as it flowed directly from my vision into my brain.

'There's no more of it. I just got to see you, it's all Chara. Well, I'm just a little tired.'

"Tell me your name."

Merea asked the snake, having regained some calm.

'Right. Let's start with the name.'

That's what the snake says and opens his eyes.

In those days, my people were rushing around Merea.

And she said.

"My name is Mear-Mule." He was called the Water Emperor, descended from the Demon King.

Melea and the others meet lives that were out of their reach that day.

Merea's hands were - trembling.

◆ ◆ ◆

"Water Emperor" Meal-Mule.

The ancestor was one of the heroes who became the Demon King during the "Transformation Period".

In other words, she was born the same as most Demon Kings enrolled in the Demon King's Union.

She was climbing Lindholm Spiritual Mountain a little late for the Demon Kings led by Melea that day when the Meleas were confronted with Celias-Blood-Mouseg in the Zainas Wilderness.

So, I'm unluckily caught by a separate unit of the Mooseg Army.

It was an army that was coming to investigate additional Lindholm Spiritual Mountains.

She is taken away by Mooseg and locked in the basement of Mooseg Castle until the wounded Celias-Brad-Mooseg recovers.

It was the other day that there was movement.

At the same time as the healing of Celias, he was summoned during the sight.

What took place there was her desperate defiance play, weakened by weakness.

From the point of view of Celias, it's just a secret predation.

Ultimately, she died crushed by a black, giant hand.

- It should have been.

I am also a descendant of the demon king. I can't let it look like I'm just dying. So in my way, I resisted. '

The result is this rugged snake.

She packed the power of her life into a single serpent using the secret ritual "Ruru's Life Water", which was passed down to the family line of the Water Emperor.

"The last" water snake "I used was like a bluff. I thought you'd find out if you didn't get too far out of hand, so I meant it quite well though. But his destiny was so far escaping from the basement of Mouzeg Castle through a drain or something '

But it was an artist she could only do because she was ready to die.

Lilium, not Merea, actually knows that best.

"You, then..."

'Yes, even if my body survived at the whim of Celias-Blood-Mouseg, it died in its lifespan less than a week later. Because that body had no more power of life left. Put it all in this snake and tease it.'

It's not sanity.

Lilium swallows those words.

'But it's still hard. The snake's body could not contain all of the power of life that was in the human body. Only a fraction of it could be put in. So now I'm about to disappear.

"How Much More Can You Live"

Melea says.

"I don't know if it's gonna be five more minutes."

"Son... na..."

'Don't look like that, Prince. I'm satisfied with this. "

The rugged snake was entwined in Merea's arms and said gladly.

'At the end of the day, I could see you. And I could not bend my faith, which I swore unto thee. I resisted. Until the end, I resisted.'

Satisfied.

There's no way.

The demon kings who were on the spot were aware of her fullest strength.

So much so that they could not fail to notice, that they are not dull towards her, who was in the same situation.

'Hey, let me hear your name from you again. A prince forever is a little weird. "

"... Merea-Mere"

'Can I call you Melea?

"Oh, sure."

"Hey, Melea."

And, behold, the rugged serpent departed from Merea's arm, and went down from the midst to the ground.

Then I look up to Merea and go on.

"Let me hear your dreams?

"Mine, dreams...?

"Yes, Your Dream"

Merea stopped looking a little facetious, but answered slightly later.

"Change the meaning of the name Demon King"

"Yeah."

"Before that...... help the demon king who is abused and in search of salvation"

"Yeah."

"And then..."

Melea's words clog.

For Melea, the proclamation with her in front of her seemed to tighten her chest.

The rugged snake watching Merea like that says in a gentle voice all the time.

'You are a strong and kind man. Thus hath he put me before him, and yet hath spoken of his dream. It represents your strength. And on the other hand, he has clogged the word before me because he regrets that he could not save me. For even now you are afflicted with trying to save me somehow. You, after all, were my prince'

"Oh, no! I 'm-!!"

Finally, I slapped my hands on the ground to excite my anger at myself, which Melea was holding back.

"Take you...! Couldn't save......!

From the inside of the tapped grip, blood seeps out.

'No, I'm not. I am saved by you. These aren't words that come from caring for you. "

A rugged serpent took the blood seeping out of Merea's hand with her tongue and said:

'Thou art still saving the demon kings who are not here but me. Your words and actions brave the hearts and minds of the demon kings of the world not less'

"But you can't die. If you die, it'll all be over."

"A very unlikely word for someone who challenged Mooseg to battle directly against his opponent, Melea."

The snake laughed.

"People die one day. But sometimes when one is satisfied with the death, it brings more radiance than serenity.

"Still, don't die."

'Haha, you're stubborn. Like a child. But I also like that place'

And, accidentally, the snake's body thinned again.

"Oh, it looks like it's time this body didn't work either"

"Wait, wait"

The snake's body is wrapped in light.

The body turned into fine particles and floated fluffy.

Then,

"Finally, let me embrace you in the form of a person"

A grain of light pictures the human form.

That's what a girl looks like.

Her first and last soft grin, Melea burned in her eyes.

And she gently envelops Merea with both arms as she is.

"Warm"

"Meal......"

Merea, with her trembling lips, called her name.

Red eyes had tears in them.

"Woohoo, I see the heroes in the fairytale in the sky."

The girl, wrapped in rugged light, looked at the sky with Melea in her arms.

"Everybody seems so sweet."

……

"I'm waving over here."

"... oh"

"For I, with those men, see thee from the sky"

".................. oh"

"It's okay. You move on"

"... yeah"

Her body thins.

He disappeared with one, another, while the light could play clammy.

And...

"Goodbye, Melea."

――

She becomes a grain of light again and ascends into the sky.

The sight overlapped with the indelibility of the English spirits once seen in Merea.

I know that the reached hand will never reach.

Still, Merea...

――

I reached for it.

"I..."

Demon King I couldn't save.

Her figure, her soft grin, and the words.

"I'll never forget you"

So, please...

And at least...

- Rest in peace.

Melea holds an outstretched hand.

I held that hand in my chest so that I could decide something.

I just wholeheartedly hoped that she would laugh peacefully in the Heavenly Sea of Souls.
