I had a problem with it.

Blood.

It's red blood.

The Great Demon Emperor's flesh mass was red blood.

If the attack is

(I went through...)

While preventing the impending tentacle sickle with a floating weapon, Ayaka aimed at the "main body" of the Great Demon Emperor and continued to shower various slashes.

All of the Great Demon Emperor's tentacle sickles went into defense.

All the tentacle sickles that were attacking the Holy One.

"---"

As expected, the incense could not be attacked.

Rather,

(When the defense is turned around, our gap is getting bigger.)

It was judged to be unfavorable, and it jumped back for a moment.

Zaa

The saint also descended and took up a position next to the aroma.

"... you, Mr. Tengawa"



"The Great Demon Emperor's attack... do you see it completely?"That meat mass ejection... looks like I avoided it after the meat mass appeared..... "

"Huh? Yeah... somehow. Um... Saint?"

Sometimes the figure of the Holy One was checked at the edge of the line of sight.

She seemed to have responded well to the Demon Emperor's movements.

"For me, it's very close." I also tried a similar method of fighting with my [Wind (Blizzard)] suddenly with an ice weapon, but it wasn't strong enough. "

Sure is.

When the Holy Ice Weapon collided with the Tentacle Sickle, it was shattered.

And since that way of fighting eats MPs, it might be tough for me to fight for a long time.

"My skill level has increased and my consumption has decreased considerably... I think I can go to long-term battles as well"

The Great Demon Emperor had stopped moving.

The meat lumps are still coming out.

It looked as if he was looking at a bloody piece of meat.

It just doesn't look like it's damaged.

That lump of meat may not be "body judgment".

"I can barely afford to defend myself."I couldn't afford to go off on the offensive like Tengawa-san.That's right... I couldn't afford to see how it went over and over again as I fought. "

Ayaka was checking the state of the Holy Spirit one by one as she fought.

It seems that the Holy Father could not afford it.

Maintaining an impetus, the two of them looked toward the Great Demon Emperor.

"... it's not moving, but..."

"I see. Maybe you're thinking about something... or maybe you're just checking in."Tengawa-san... can the polar strings still last? "

"Huh? Yeah... Actually, I have the impression that the load is lighter than before."I think it has the effect of defeating the nearby class and raising the status correction... but somehow, my body has become familiar with the polar string in the first place. "

It seemed like he was stunned somewhere.

Fufu, I think.

For a moment, the Saint leaked a smile of exhalation.

I wonder if you have the talent you were born with.



The Saint stared at the Great Demon Emperor.

After all, Saint Kaohsiung seems to have been thinking about something.

"Tengawa-san... I know this is really insane, but I'm going to ask you this."

Yeah, yeah.

"How can you buy time by yourself?"

"Huh? I'm on my own...?"

I saw the Demon Emperor again.

"If the Great Demon Emperor's combat ability is the same as it is now... yes, I think I can earn it for a while."Uh-oh, status, open. "

The remaining MP amount is displayed.

Preliminary MPs for when you have to.

assuming that you leave that....

"At most, yes... I think I can do it for about an hour"

Take a breath, St.

"It's more than I expected... it's really out of standard, Tengawa-san"

"Oh, I'm so-a, I'm sorry... excessive modesty wasn't good..."

St. Paul smiles again.

Somewhere, though, it was a smile of sentimentality.

The Saint now laughs a lot.

"If you think you need my help, give me a signal with a sound ball."I'll briefly give you other signals as well. "

The Saint gave a short new signal to the sound ball.

Um, where is Saint?

There's just one thing I really want to check out right now.

It must be confirmed now.

What the hell is that?

”I won't dare tell you... and this”

Saint slipped the folded piece of paper into Akka's pocket.

What's this?

"It's okay, it's not what I'm reading right now."Make sure you read it when I don't come back.When you've finished reading it, it would be best if you burn it and dispose of it. "

(--- Wait, wait, wait)

"Um... Saint? When I didn't come back...?"

"It's just a story in case.Don't worry. I'll be back soon.I'm just thinking about the worst.You know that, don't you? "

"Yeah, yeah..."

In the meantime.

The two of them did not take their gaze off the Great Demon Emperor for a moment.

That piece of meat is already retreating.

And there's still no sign of movement.

"I don't know how much responsibility I can take, but... I'm willing to take responsibility."

(Responsibility, responsibility?)

Ayaka couldn't gauge the meaning of her words.

What does responsibility mean?

The Holy One turns himself over.

Well then, please take a look here.

Ah, that Saint-

Call away the distant Holy Spirit.

St. Paul turns around.

"Fine. Ask me anything."

"W-Well... what if?" If I could defeat you... would it be okay if I defeated you? "

――――――――

The Holy Father rolled up his eyes.

This might be the first time I've ever seen a look on my face.

Then,

"Giggle"

The Holy Spirit blew out.

This one, too.

Such a natural way of blowing out - after all, it's the first time.

Really--you 're out of standard, aren't you?

"I-I 'm sorry."

It's okay. Well, then... I had to give it to you as well.

I told you, Saint gave that necklace to Akka.

Ahhh...

A black crystal necklace with an example of the holiness entrusted to it by the goddess.

The root evil seems to have a special Evil King Essence in its core.

I needed that special Evil King Essence to go back to my world.

But what if we wipe out the core that stores that special Diablo?

When that happened, the special Diablo Essence was released into the surroundings.

At that time, it is the necklace that absorbs and stores it.

"When the body of the root evil is defeated... I wonder if Demon King Essence will be converted into something like giant energy at that time?"Probably only a huge amount of energy will remain, and it will be rendered harmless. ”

After describing his own analysis, St. Paul smiles.

"I'll leave this necklace to you, Mr. Tokugawa."

"Yeah, yeah... okay."

"When the Great Demon Emperor was defeated, Diablo Xuanjin would be harmless, and the effects it had on this area would disappear... I might know that he was defeated by the changes in his surroundings."But if you can defeat me, just use the sound ball when you call me. just..... "

St. Kirihara looks in the direction of the blowing up of Kirihara.

"If Kirihara-kun is just stunned, he might end up in a rush."But you must definitely stab me.This is the only thing you have to promise me.If you're not the only one who's finished, you can't do it. "

"I-I got it!" I'll definitely finish you off... I'll stab you...! "

For a moment, St. Paul stopped.

Tokugawa-san.

"Yes, yes..."

"I'm really glad you were amongst those summoned together."

Saying that, St. Paul turned himself again.

Signs of Saint Rushed Away.

At this time, Ayaka was attacked by a strange sense of anxiety.

Maybe it's not because of the sudden loneliness.

(Holy Mother,...)

Shortly before breaking up, St. Paul left a smile behind.

Why, I wonder.

I don't think I'll ever see you again.

I feel that way for some reason.

I don't know why you think that way.

Or because it was such a lovely smile.

Because it was like a smile that came to my mind at a special time...

I thought it was impossible, because it was the first time.

On the other hand, it might have satisfied the anxiety in Akka's chest.

At that time,



The Great Demon Emperor moved.

They're getting closer.

Because I'm alone?Could it be that... you thought I'd let you escape in preparation for my sacrifice?)

Again,

- Missy. - Missy.

Increase the strength of the pole string.

A unique weapon floating around Ayaka - [Armed Battles (Silver World)]

All of them,

Transition to combat readiness.

(...... Now I have no choice but to believe in you.That's right... you said you were going to come back.I mean, that holy thing... it's trying to do something really important.And it must be for us.That's why I 'm--)

Ayaka also put her spear and her own sword back in place.

"I'll do what I have to do."

◇[Saint Kaohsiung]◇

Quiet castle setting.

Saint Kaohsiung was running while keeping the footsteps down.

Stop your legs.

This time is likely to be "here".

; and

Giggle.....

The door opened.

"--Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh? Higiri, isn't that right...... huh......"

Goddess Vissis.

I looked terribly pale.

The motion of opening the door is also terribly weak.

Compared to the usual goddess, there was no shadow to be seen.

However, the only smile that was unique to the goddess remained.

"Uufufu... suddenly, it's full... this unusual concentration of Diablo... don't you know?"No, I guess... it was the Great Demon Emperor.But... why are you here? How did you do that...?Ufufu..... "

It looks like there's no strength in the body.

"I thought it might be dangerous if we stayed like this... I thought about evacuating to another place... oh... I was lucky to meet you."... the Great Demon Emperor, right? "

Yeah, probably.

"From the previous battle... this time, the brave man seemed more awful than I imagined... and he was afraid to grow up."That's why I got in directly... and finished it off early.Um, ufufu... maybe I'm more cornered than I thought... "

Fragile, but the atmosphere is not the same as usual.

She didn't look frightened either.

St. Paul lent him his shoulder.

"Oh, well... thank you." Ufufu... if your brave men defeat the Great Demon Emperor here... I hope it will come true... "

Are you okay?

"It's a pathetic story, but as expected of me...... with Diablo's opponent...... fufufu.If possible... can you go that way, please? "

The direction indicated by the goddess with her little trembling fingers.

It was in a direction away from where the Great Demon Emperor was.

It may be possible to lighten the load slightly if it can be separated a little.

"When the goddess has evacuated to a distance where she can move from now, I will rendezvous with Tenkawa-san and Kirihara-kun."And if the Great Demon Emperor is coming, let's try to move in the direction of defeating him. "

”Ufufu... amazing, shiii... amazing, Higiri-san...”

"Right now, the tree is searching for the location of the source of this Diablo."If we know where it is, we should have a signal. ”

Yuki, what's the plan?

"I gathered something called a sound ball myself."That's the signal. "

"Ah, oh my... if only you had told me... there was a little...♪"

Even you, the goddess, would be like this if you were in Diablo Virgin.

"Uu, fufu... as far as you're embarrassed... but that's why... you're a brave man from another world... you understand... right?"

Yes.

"But I'm glad you came..."

“Your presence is essential if we are to return to our original world.I don't want to be killed here.For you, it's still-- "

The Saint took a step in the direction indicated by the goddess.

“If you're not alive, you're in trouble.”

"Fufu, fufu... yes."... we are... destiny, community... so, hey..."

And the goddess staggered.

The Holy Spirit holds it and places his hand on the goddess's chest.
