Hyaku Ma No Aruji

Episode 244: "Beyond Time"

Just before the situation in Thessalis became chaotic due to the appearance of the spirits.

Hershey-Cood-Lemuse was changing into his own costume in his own room as he prepared for the "departure."

- Let's go, Merea.

Hershey almost waited for Merea and the others to return from Ayes.

However, the information of Mooseg's faction, which was coming in one after another, finally lifted his hips.

Aisha, what happened to the [Three Kingdoms]?

I called out to Aisha, who was waiting for the preparations to be completed neatly near the door of the room.

As Lord Hershey said, it is probably the [Steel Cavalry] of the Kingdom of Phyllphia who will arrive at Thessalis the earliest.

I see. I hope we can build a line of defense from the pirate city factions in time.

If Mooseg and the Psythalis were to go to war, the fierce war would be on the north side.

On the other hand, it was expected that the pirate forces under Mooseg's umbrella would turn from the eastern sea and attack its eastern end.

It's important to stop Moosegag's main force, but in the meantime, I don't want to be attacked from somewhere else.

"The Thesaris must survive." In order to turn the demon kings gathered by the Psythalis against Mooseg. "

That said, I think Mooseg's Breathing Demon Lord has entered the Psythalis as well.

"I had no choice but to ask the [Demon King's Union] to do something about it." We can't afford to be inside Thessalis, and above all, we're not the Demon King. [Demon King] is the only one who can change their minds. "

Hashem feels a little lonely about it, but at the same time he realizes that it is the tip of the ice because of their foolishness and power.

Aisha, Kurtard.

Yes.

So Hashem instructed Aisha to take out a spear, which had been kept tightly in the corner of the room.

Having received a spear wrapped in a dirty cloth, Hershey removes the cloth and stares at its tip.

Magic Spear Kurtard .

A Seven Emperor Artifact owned by the family of the [Spear Emperor], a member of the Seven Emperors family.

Once it was in the hands of Serious-Blood-Moseg, but now it's in the hands of Merea, who recovered it from the Battle of Zainus.

“If Merea doesn't start the war in time, we'll have to keep Mooseg at bay as an ally.”

I am almost ready to be at the forefront.

In this case, the question is whether you can buy yourself that time.

"The strength of my power makes my teeth stiff."

Hashim smiles bitterly.

And as king, I did all that I could.

At the same time, as a fighter on the front line, it was only possible to do it.

Yet, compared to those who have dedicated all their lives to fighting - or have been forced to do so - they have no power at all.

Even with the help of this demonic spear Kurtard, the difference in power will not be filled.

Still, I use everything I can.

Accept as much stigma as you want to achieve your purpose.

Well...

Wrap Kurtard in cloth again, close your eyes, and breathe out lightly.

I switched my consciousness to battle in my heart.

--Let's go to battle.

In that way, Hershey begins to walk.

It was just then that I had an unexpected visitor.

◆◆◆

Aisha was the first to sense the anomaly.

Aisha, who was particularly attentive as a detective, suddenly felt a sign of someone in the hallway separating her back from the door.

With a momentary move, he pulled out his dagger from his pocket and jumped one step away from the door to lower his posture.

"Stand down, Hashim-sama."

"Who are you?"

“I don't know, it's just unusual.”

No murderous intent.

On the contrary, I even feel that my presence is somewhat weak.

It's like a ghost or something is staring at us...

――

Eventually, in addition to the thought, the door of the room opened as if there was no object in sight.

And then--

"-My younger sister Lilith's descendants."

The woman came.

When the door opened, I first saw beautiful white hair before anything else.

And when you look at the person who appears from beyond, the time of Hashem stops.

When the mouth finally started to move, the name that the mouth spun out--

"- Leylas = Rif = Remuse"

It was the [White Emperor] who once reigned as queen in Remusse, the most noble era.

"This castle hasn't changed."

Woman--Leylas looked around the room as she handed away the beautiful Vale.

Aisha hasn't taken off her stance yet, but she doesn't seem to mind either.

"--- [Reaper] did this to you."

Put a beat down and find out why Hershey is in this strange state of affairs.

And when Leylas heard the words, he gave a thin smile and looked at Hershey in tears.

The irresistible beauty.

At the same time, there is an untouchable elegance and innocence that will not be tarnished by any person.

Each casual gesture was as beautiful as even the most eerie, and Hershey's breath unexpectedly retracted.

"As I saw (...) (...), isn't he a pretty boy? Besides, it's good to go around the head. While I'm my distant nephew (hey), why do I want to be so proud?"

Leylas laughed from the moment she turned.

It looked like an innocent girl somewhere.

"What's the purpose?"

"Don't be so vigilant. Now that I have no power to fight, I am not tied up as hard as the Flanders. That doesn't mean you can do anything, but I won't strangle you suddenly."

Leylas takes a step without a sound and sits down on a chair in Hershey's room.

"Well, you should sit down."

"...... (...) I'm (...) thinking (...), but (...) unfortunately I don't have time."

Leylas urged her to sit in the chair opposite.

The wind that entered through the window shakes Merea's very similar white hair.

"Well, without saying so." This is the encounter that shapes your life - yes, it shapes your [life and death]. "

[White Emperor] Reyrath = Rif = Remuse was once said to have read the future with his eyes.

[White Emperor's Demon Eye], which looked at the ceremony of the world.

And in the inscription she left on the verge of death, there was also a depiction of Hashem.

"There is no fixed future. - Is it something that doesn't exist?"

Suddenly, the words she muttered with a slight intensity of tone seemed to contain all of her thoughts.
