Kuro no Maou

"Huh, ku..."

Leaking a bitter exhale, Celis realized that his consciousness was flying for a moment and that the limits of magic had finally come.

At a time when there was such a huge explosion of fire attribute magic as if the sun had fallen, Celis' protection was completely interrupted. At the same time, unconscious… and what I saw when I woke up was a sight of despair.

At the heart of the crater, Falcius is blackened.

Kai is losing both arms, his belly is heavily torn and sinking into a sea of blood and organs.

On the roof of the White Castle, Rudra was pierced through her heart by a pitch-black spear.

Unequivocal, awesome swordsmen. I understood that strength on the road so far, and in my battle with Lily, I was exerting more power than I could have imagined.

But the result is like this. defeat. There is no more, an unbroken defeat.

Not to say ruthless or ruthless. Power is everything in the world of battle. Lily was just stronger. That's all.

I should say, "Nice to meet you."

Still, when you see her descending in front of herself like an angel, without a scratch, you come to that chest not with the humility of acknowledging cleanliness and defeat, nor with the remorse of not being able to reach - just fear.

"Ugh..."

The only reason I don't have a voice is because of the extreme fatigue that drained my magic. Even after all those fierce battles, it's as if Lily's overwhelming magic signs of not showing decay are going to crush her.

"But I already know. Celis Ann Arklite, about you."

Lily asked if she could share Chrono's vision. This means that from the Serene Coliseum, where we first met, we played around the city of Avalon, and that all the time we dealt with Chrono, we were watched by her.

After all, how did I see myself in Lily's eyes?

No, if she has so much overwhelming power, she's nothing but a completely unmindful existence, such as herself being held hostage to geniuses and such in school. Challenged and torn four to one, because this reality proves above all the difference in isolated forces.

"Ugh, don't look so frightened. I'm not a hungry dragon eater."

How good would the dragon have been if it had been the other guy? Sometimes it's happier to be eaten to death with or without it. People are intelligent, but they can enjoy themselves by grasping a life sentence.

"Come on... kill me..."

We tried to kill each other, we lost the battle. I'm ready.

Yes, I am prepared to die clean... but asking an eighteen-year-old maiden to decide until she is ready to be slaughtered so that she can be slaughtered would be a harsh story.

"Oh, you're so quick to give up, the knight of Avalon. No, it's times like this that you don't want to hold your temper."

Lily laughs, as even the insides of such a celis are clear.

"Kai, Falkius and Rudra are still alive. It's up to you whether they can breathe or miraculously survive."

"What are you gonna do to me?"

If you take your people's lives as shields, there's nothing more to it than accepting them. They are all, normally, suffering deadly injuries that are completely too late, but Lily would also be able to connect and stop their lives.

"Nothing, you just have to take them home"

"Stupid, that's not true, why..."

"Oh, speaking of which, could your purpose have been to rescue Nell? Then, fine, I'll give Nell back too"

Celis is going to be stupefied this time.

"Unbelievable? But isn't that enough to believe? Because I haven't killed anyone yet."

If you ask me, you're right.

Fiona and herself, from Lily's point of view, are only the natural enemies to kill. I fought with my own strength, without shielding myself as a hostage. There shouldn't be any advantage to keeping them alive and captured.

But every one who loses to her, survives. Because Lily let him live. Yes, she has a reason to want to keep the hostiles alive.

"Why..."

"People are sometimes more about process than results - from now on, I'm going to the future with Chrono. A hundred years from now, a thousand years from now, I haven't decided yet."

I know about the 'Coquitos Narrow' where time freezes. Just like Sparta, Avalon Royal Castle has the same thing. Many of the national treasures are ancient relics similar to new ones thanks to their storage there. Nell's "White Winged Balance" is one of them.

In the middle of the front garden, if you look at The Tyrant's Armor (Maximilian), which stopped bright white like a snow statue, you can tell it's under the magic of freezing for exactly the same amount of time as that.

That's why we changed Lily's opponent to Plan B.

"When I wake up, Chrono resents me...... but Chrono forgives me. Someday you will forgive me."

"Don't be ridiculous, keep everything from Chrono! What a shameless, letting us live just for that, as Chrono forgives us a little sooner!

Chrono and Lily, given the deep pattern between the two of us, sure, even when we wake up in a future where we've lost everything, Chrono might forgive her.

And at that time, it would be completely different to tell Lily that she killed all the close people of Chrono, including Fiona, and that they had done all of Tenshou in this era.

Chrono loses everything but Lily, the result is the same. But if the past process of whether the loved ones were to be murdered without remnants or continue to live their lives afterwards were different… more than the 'result' of the future cannot be changed, I see, from Chrono, it is the 'process' that has already passed that will make it important.

"Yeah, you're right. What crap, what shallow, petty workmanship. But you know, when Chrono and I are alone, how long can we stand each other and endure the time until Chrono forgives us... hehe, I'm not sure"

Shame on Princess Fairy, how adorable.

The more beautiful and pathetic the figure is, the more decadent the hidden heart.

"So in this day and age, you are obliged to stay alive. for Chrono to love me, as soon as possible."

As one woman, I learn so much anger that my bowels boil back when I hear Lily's cunning and clever excuse, which is difficult to say anything about a ploy.

Don't joke, don't joke, don't joke!

Love is something that should be more, honest, honest, pure and noble. Well, Chrono, if you want to line up next to him...

"Well, that's a bad story, then, isn't it?

But the Knight's reason fully accepts Lily's offer.

People's lives are at stake. It's not just life. These include the royal family who should be the Lord, the princess of Avalon, and Nell Julius Ellord.

In the first place, I came all the way to such a dangerous place for her to fight such a horrible monster. If we can't save him with this, it doesn't mean anything.

"Come on, take Nell with you, and go home to Avalon. After that... well, keep a close watch on the stupid princess who nearly lost her life in a crappy romance."

I don't need to be told. Save Nell, and at dawn when he brings him home, he must explain all the circumstances, including the king. And if that becomes clear, Princess Nell, who is dear to you, will be protected, even with some restrictions on her freedom.

She can never go to the dungeon again to help Chrono.

You'll be resented.

But that's fine. I fought so hard that I thought it was okay.

"Knock..."

We lost. We lost.

You're right to leave here. I can't do anything more. Waste of lifting just to resist. If Lily kills me for disobeying me poorly, I'm nothing but dead for nothing.

That's how I get it, and Celis finally nods.

"Okay, take everyone, I'm leaving."

"Wise judgment."

I can just play Lily's smile at how wonderful the resolution is by discussion.

"Thank you for your generosity."

"It's okay, I have a little sympathy for you."

It was a casual word.

But that catches me oddly.

"... sympathy, you say?

Where in me, is there room for Lily to sympathize? What does she know about me?

The question that Sellis has in mind is correct. Face, name and combat ability are known, but nothing else. It's the first time we've met.

"Fiancée, you're here, right?

How can you not be surprised? If you want to look into it, it's information to the extent that it will be immediately apparent.

"Oh, sure, I have a fiancée, but that's what it is."

"'Cause it's not pathetic"

The words contained a genuine sense of sympathy. From the bottom of my heart, Lily pitied me.

irritating.

In just one word, Serris' quiet knight's heart ripples.

"I have no idea what's pathetic, I don't know what it means. It is only natural that a marriage can be decided upon more than was born as a noble woman"

Being able to decide on your fiancée by your parents is as natural as the gravity you manipulate. I don't even question that it is, common sense in aristocratic societies.

"Really? I'm so sorry I let you marry someone you don't even like."

That's no responsibility or smugness whatsoever, civilian rhetoric, lower bitch romantic views. He's just a childish wagamama.

Even more irritating.

Don't doubt it. Don't deny it. Noble, my, love.

"You, who do you like? Any first love? Have you ever confessed? Ever freak out? What a nice guy, you've never had your heart beat?

No, no, there's nothing like that.

If you insist, have you ever huffed a female student who comes to confess in your thoughts many times? They all make me cry, reasonably speaking about the weight of nobility's responsibilities, but they convince me.

It's not a lok romantic experience.

But that's fine.

It should be good, but why, it's so frustrating.

"If it's never happened, it's pathetic. It's pathetic to take marriage to someone you don't even like for granted - because it wasn't even possible to meet someone destined to give you your love"

"Stupid, that's bullshit"

Emotions cage. A little, my voice trembled.

"Oh, I knew it, you poor thing. 'Cause I love my fiancée, and I can't tell you back."

"Huh!?

Yes, you can lie, that's what you should have said.

Pathetic that your fiancée was decided on her own? Don't be silly, I love that fiancée from the bottom of my heart, so does this convenient story. I can immerse myself in such a sense of superiority that I can show off the men and women of a troubled world with likes and dislikes.

Haha I laughed and had to insist.

"Boring Man"

"Chi, no..."

"Weak, Not Funny, Not Matching, Not Deserving, Not At All, Not Attractive As A Man"

"No! I don't..."

"So you love me? About that kid. I wonder if I can swear to God that what I feel for him is my true love."

I am not dissatisfied.

My fiancée, Lute boy, feels it was everything.

I'm not dissatisfied. He is someone I have known well since I was a child. He is a good, kind, caring good boy. Your face is neutral and adorable, and you don't usually rely solely on the peculiar talent of a demonic eye sealed with glasses, nor do you neglect your daily workouts. Talent and hard work have also borne fruit and, more than that, strength as a knight. He deserves to be hot like that.

And most importantly, Lute admires me for Sellis. Respect, admiration, or real romantic feelings. Either way, I have no doubt that he has a strong fondness for himself.

Personality, looks, abilities, feelings, fiancées with all this, etc., wouldn't be. Everyone has some discontent, but the apparent smile never stops marrying and strives to build a well-rounded family for the house.

And I'm sure whenever it turns into real love, family love -

"Wow, I..."

Envy.

That's what I thought, since when?

Imperial School of coeducation. In a school building where boys and girls of their age gather, romance rumors are essential. The engagement of Celis and Lute would have been one of the big stories in it.

By then, it was still good. I'll make you both mistresses! Me, I'm gonna run off with him! When I heard such rumors about the upside, I had nowhere else to think. I find it as enviable as the optimistic emotions that I won't skip after. Me too, to the extent that I think that if I could be that stupid, I could have more fun living my school life.

Envy.

I thought so clearly... after Princess Nell came home.

No, it would be precisely when Nell finds out who the man with the thoughts is.

Oh, I see, this falls in love.

A man honestly enough to be so convinced was Chrono.

"... I want"

Envy.

I'm obsessed with Chrono, Princess Nell envied me.

I love you. I love you. I love you. That look of loving, wanting, and seeking insanely also looks like some hilarious and unobtrusive dogma... but still glowed as a woman. Just for the man I love. All at once, I just hope so, Nell is clean and rightly beautiful as a maiden in love.

"... envy"

Envy. And dazzling.

Nell seeking love. Plus, Lily goes over it.

Lily's appearance, nestled with red butterfly feathers spread, is horrible and disastrous. But if you think that's just what you want one man named Chrono but changed for, you can't help but glare at him as if he glows divinely.

Yes, because this Lily is the one who embodies the power of love.

"I envy you, I envy you... so much, I envy you for being in love"

Let's admit it.

Celis Ann Arklight can't help but envy the girls who live in love. I don't like being made to be engaged to a man I don't even like.

"Yeah, I guess so"

Oh, I suppose so.

I want to fall in love, I want to love, I want to feel destined.

What a lovely experience that is. How sweet that feels.

Even I want to live in a burning love. Even I want to try to pierce enough love to turn everything in the world against my enemies.

If I'd met Chrono sooner, sooner than Nell, before Lily, even I'd...

"You must really love me from the bottom of your heart."

"Yeah, I love Chrono."

"Then how can you suffer Chrono"

I know how Lily feels. Same woman. You can't be unsympathetic.

So this was just an argument in the name of honesty.

"If you love me, why don't you do what Chrono wants"

This can't be what Chrono wants. He's just glad Lily's next door.

"Lily, you're just a loser. I don't even confess myself, my friend (Fiona) pushes me ahead, so I get rid of everything and make Chrono my own thing - hmm, I haven't even fought from Hannah, that's a coward's idea!

Even such cowards have inferior love experiences of their own.

That jealousy makes Celis say a provocative dialogue that doesn't even seem like it. Once you say it, it won't stop anymore.

"Do you love Chrono? It's a lie, you only love yourself. Step on his feelings, take everything from him, say you love him. Don't make me laugh, that's not love, it's just ego!

With so much power, what you're doing is a childish monopoly. If you make me lose everything, it turns out it's just the eagles and you two. Totally unrealistic idea.

But Lily has enough power to make it a reality, so it causes so much catastrophe, and that's what she's trying to do right now.

"It's not love you have, it's just the ugly desire to have Chrono. Just for my own desire, hurt, take, trample, the same as a bunch of inferior bandits... no, for justifying it with the beautiful word love, worse nature, the worst villain ever."

Love should be something gentler and warmer. If you touch that, you should have a natural smile on your face.

Even so, Lily's love has plagued Chrono so much.

Then it would not be love, but just sin.

"Sin must be punished. Evil must be judged -"

A passion that I don't quite understand myself rushes around in Selis. The emotion serves as a slight, but definite force to thrust and move Celis' body.

On her right hand still, a wind servel, as light as a blade, remains gripped.

"- And it's the knight's job to fight evil!

Flash, no, wear one.

The cutting edge was astonishingly fast, sharp, and let go of more than Selis' hand, which was out of magic and drained.

"I changed my mind. I resist to the end. Even if this life runs out, you can't give in to evil."

The Righteous Knight's blow, fulfilled, pierces Lily's throat.

Amazingly, I hit it too hard myself. Without being inhibited by the junction, the blade was uninterrupted by anyone and reached Lily's neck.

"Still..."

But that's only a few. Sellis' sabel has stabbed only a few millimeters or so, far from fatal injuries.

The blood floating on Lily's bright white balls' skin was just a drop of... just a glimmer of blood Shizuku.

It was Lily's right hand that stopped the sabel. I'm grabbing it with my bare hands.

"Still, I want Chrono"

The red light flashed, the next moment, Sellis' sabel smashed to pieces.

"I know. I know, I know."

Celis, who ran out of magic, lost his weapon, squeezed his last power and unleashed a blow, doesn't even have the strength to stand up anymore. This time, my hands and feet didn't move either, I could just lay down and look up.

"Unforgivable felony, because I knew so, I did nothing. Nothing, I couldn't."

On Lily's face, I can't smile.

Even though he was crawling through one knight, weakened, with no more hands or feet, his expression was cold, rugged, and alarmed, as if he could not afford it.

"I want, I want, I want Chrono, I want it to be my only Chrono - the desire is certainly a sin, but the wish is a bad one, but still, I love you"

To Lily, who calls sin love, Celis' face distorts to anger.

Ugly justification.

No, that must have been, like, a deep thirst everywhere.

"Sariel, who took Chrono's first, is jealous. I envy Fiona, who became Chrono's lover. Everything I do with Chrono is jealous and jealous. Love, friendship, even hate directed at the Crusaders. Because none of that, on my part, I can't get it alone, because it's the heart of Chrono"

The beginning of this is certainly the relationship between Chrono and Sariel.

But the flame of jealousy, once lit, burns everywhere, and I don't stop asking for all of Chrono.

"This irresistible jealousy is also my love. I can't live without loving Chrono. If Chrono doesn't love me, I won't be filled."

For Lily, living and loving is synonymous at the earliest. If you can't love me, you have to die. If they don't love you, they'll have to die.

Why has this happened? How has it turned into such a weak and brittle heart?

"So this is love. I love Chrono."

All the answers were attributed to 'Isitel'.

"Goodbye, Celis. Your words are stained. I was reminded of my beginnings."

I had already captured Chrono into a cage of time, a little too much, rising.

Lily reflects.

From now on. Yes, the world begins alone with Chrono, from now on is the real deal.

Lily also has to work hard to fill up Chrono so that Chrono can fill up Lily.

No matter how long it takes. Even if I fail, gentle Chrono forgives me, and he waits for me.

But I'll make sure it succeeds. Absolutely, it works.

Because it's already a paradise just for the two of us.

"Don't be ridiculous... Krono won't forgive you"

"No, Chrono forgives me"

"If I forgive you and accept you, then... it is time for Chrono's heart to die"

"Yeah, that's a little different"

Lily finally smiles back.

I have no grudges. So heartily felt, with such a gentle grin as Mother Mercy, he pointed the muzzle at Sellis.

"Chrono's heart is not dead, it's reborn."

Love only me (Lily), to the truth (really) Chrono.

……

Finally, Celis' words break.

The bullet had already been fired.

As I've already told you, Lily has no intention of killing me. "Thunder Cannon (Shockbuster)" only cleanly pruned Sellis' consciousness.

And the silence comes.

Now all the cats are on. We captured Chrono and all his companions returned the favor. All you have to do is get ready and travel to the future.

"Oh, it hurts"

Before we get ready, we need to heal the little wound that was stabbed by Celis.

To her words, it is a lie when it comes to not being upset. I decided my heart, consolidated my readiness, and accomplished the hard means of love.

But I guess the little guilt in Lily allowed Sellis to strike. A slight drop, just a slight scratch with zero blood. But I was experiencing definite pain.

cure. Instead, turn it off.

Guilt for forgiving wounds. Lily casts healing magic so that she completely erases the mind of a righteous man, no, that young and weak heart.

"Oh, it's a corner, and should I ask Nell to heal it"

Leprechaun Lily has no such thing as healing wounds to this extent. But it wouldn't be a bad idea to experience the healing magic of Nell, dubbed his genius.

"- That."

But the magic of healing doesn't light up at your fingertips.

Such an easy, healing magic failure? No, that can't be right.

So Nell's consciousness broke the illusion and flipped the anti-flag?

That's a little different, too.

"I don't feel... access to 'Queen Armor (Regalia)' is solved!?

Lily realizes that she immediately switches channels to Fiona, Saliel.

The results are the same together. No response (no signal).

"No way -"

I tried to fly to the castle that was capturing them in order to ascertain the conclusions to be drawn, that's when.

"Lily."

The voice was the beloved voice that I most wanted to hear and, now, the voice that I least wanted to hear, should not hear.

Black hair, black and red odd eyes. The flesh of a large, trained warrior, no, and a mad warrior is filled with a dark devil's robe.

Quietly, but dignified, the man walked out the main gate of White Ya's Castle, Lily's castle.

"- Chrono!!

"Sorry to keep you waiting."
