Maou No Utsuwa

Colorful spirits dancing in the sky. Long ago, the power of this world, which transformed the civilization created by man into dust and cornered man to the brink of annihilation, was once again manifested. Its power fangs toward all beings on the battlefield, regardless of enemy allies. A flame burns the soldier, the wind rips its body apart, and a broken earth swallows up the people.

"... trying to manipulate the power of God... how far did you corrupt it!

Aur turns his anger at Lucifer to see what's going on around him. The power of the rampaging spirits is a threat to many people on this battlefield, but extremely little compared to their original power. That fact is proof that the manifestation of the Spirit is not God's will.

"You are the corrupt ones. That there must be no such thing as the devil clan defying the divine clan."

"Both the Devil and the Divine alike serve God. There is no up or down. You are a disobedient being in the first place. It's clearly our enemy."

"Weren't you the one who said there was no God? How can you disobey a being without you?

"It's a disobedience to think so."

There is no God. So the idea of being free and good, etc. cannot be inherently held by the divine tribe. Aur considered that Lucifer was still a being that could no longer be called a divine tribe.

"... you didn't know that, so you can say that."

"What do you mean?

"You are absolutely right. There is no God. I left this world a long time ago."

"Again..."

That's what I knew. Still, when they hear that from Lucifer's mouth, Aur feels terribly depressed.

"Humans don't change. Even as a human race, its sexuality remains human. God hated this world when he found out about it, and he abandoned us and left somewhere. You know how I feel when I know that, don't you?

For the divine tribe, God is everything. It is its own existence. Losing that god is losing its existential significance. Even the word despair is not enough to describe that thought.

"... because"

Imitation to replace God is never to be tolerated. That's what Aur thinks.

"It is I who have maintained the harmony of this world. If the people are proud to put down an iron hammer on it, and if the devils act in such a way that they forget their own mission, then correct it. That's how I've protected this world."

"It's..."

Aur used to do it too. Believe it is God's will. But that was a big mistake.

"I am the order of this world. The law of this world. Think of the stupidity of defying me like that."

"... which is stupid? He seems to have replaced God, but he's more like a dust mustard than God's, such as your power."

"Even so, there is no doubt that I am the best in this world. Isn't it natural for the powerful to rule the world?

"Dominance… is that what you really are"

Management and control are different. Lucifer is not trying to replace God, he just wants to make this world what he thinks it is.

"My freedom no matter what expression I use. No one can blame it. Let me make that clear to you too!

Lucifer raising both hands high. It was an aur who thought he would use some mighty magic, but he didn't. A number of light points blink at the tip of both arms raised by Lucifer. Aur soon found out what it was. That's what I used to be.

"... does the Divine Clan... no, do you mean there is no such thing as the Divine Clan anymore"

The point of light coming down from heaven is the Divine Nation. Many divine tribes are descending into the earth at Lucifer's command. To the instructions of the devil who hides the absence of God and himself contemplates taking control of this world.

The magic of the divine tribe pouring out of the sky. It was relentlessly poured down upon the people of the earth.

"Dear Hildegand!

It was Theresa's voice that reached Aur's ear. Theresa had fallen to the ground when she pointed her gaze in the direction of her voice. Running over to that Therese is Hildegand.

Seeing the sight, Aur found that Theresa had undergone magic sheltering Hildegand. Theresa acted faithfully to her teachings.

"I decide to try again. Only submissive sheep are allowed to live in this land."

"I won't allow that! Our fangs don't break that easy!

Aur waving his arms wide toward Lucifer. It is the Devil's Sword Kamui that flies straight from its arms towards the universe. Lucifer avoided the demon sword by keeping it afloat in the universe and defying his body greatly.

"... give me a bad lift"

Lucifer's words are not directed at Aur. It's toward Kamui, who receives Lucifer's devil's sword and drives his horse. We just have to do what we can, whether it's evil or not. Aur is right, the fangs of the Kamuis are still unbroken.

◇ ◇ ◇

formation of the Royal Deer Army. Oscar is showing off his army, led by Deefleet, brilliantly prevented. Instead of preventing it, I almost got to pick up Deefleet, but he got away well, and then he was consolidating his formation and going into protection. The Royal Diamond Army is advantageous on the number if it outweighs the ambush and heals the soldier's upset. I won't give you a gap to put in the Deefleet.

"What. That's..."

A bunch of suddenly appearing spirits are attacking without regard to enemy allies. Surprised by that, the Royal Dia Army is no longer where to fight. That's the same for Deefleet's side. I don't know when the spirits will attack me. Be vigilant about that and don't move.

"... no. No, you can't."

Claudia leaks a grunt with a flashing look. What is happening in front of you is genocide. Soldiers who don't have the art of resistance against spiritual opponents flying through the universe just run away. The spirits' relentless attacks also continue against that fleeing soldier.

One man and another, instead of ten, twenty, fall together and fall to the ground. Tens of thousands of troops see it. Reduce that number. It echoes on the battlefield. Voices of fear, screams, extinct shouts. Hell was manifesting itself on earth.

"Chi, no... it's not like this... I didn't want this..."

"... Dear Claudia"

Claudia keeps whining as if she's been feverished. Oscar watches as he worries about the appearance.

"Claudia! It's your fault! Your stupid ambitions caused all this!

Voices that make such Claudia upset even more intense. It's Deefleet's voice. To stop this from happening is to kill Claudia, who was the object from the beginning. Deefleet is on the verge of attacking the formation of the kingdom of Dia to make it happen.

"It's not me... I don't want this..."

…………

Claudia really doesn't want this to happen. Oscar knows that. But we also know it's one of the causes.

"No... no... it's not me... it's not my fault"

The light of sanity is lost from Claudia's eyes. Avoidance of the reality of escaping responsibility. It prevents the mind from collapsing completely by doing so unconsciously.

But this was not the only cure.

"... angel... no way... is that an enemy too?

Many lights slowly descend from heaven. I can see wings growing on its back that look white and shiny. If that were all enemies. Despair spread to Oscar's mind thinking about it.

That despair soon becomes a reality. The figure of the divine tribe, which was the point of light, eventually becomes clearly visible in its contours. Both of those arms are raised directly above each other and swing down simultaneously.

The shock of rocking the ground relentlessly crushes people standing on the ground. Hundreds or thousands of screams are sounding on the battlefield without stopping.

But only one of those thousands is in Claudia's eyes. He was the figure of Theresa falling to the ground sheltering Hildegand.

"... no, no... who..."

Claudia walks out in a fluffy, unreliable foothold. The leg was headed to the front line where Deefleet was.

Oscar noticed that and rushed to stop it. What reached that Oscar's ear.

"So who... Somebody kill me... please! Somebody stop me!

"... K, Lady Claudia"

The only way to stop Lucifer is if you die. That's what Claudia thinks. But Oscar doesn't know if it's serious. I'm not sure the feeling of self-sacrifice is really in Claudia.

"I'll kill you! So let me clear the front! Claudia! Order your men!

Deefreet has nothing to do with what Claudia really thinks. If you're going to kill me, you're going to be happy to kill me.

"Anyone... kill me... I don't like this anymore..."

Large tears flow from both eyes of Claudia. But it's not sympathy, it's confusion that's floating in the surrounding eyes looking at that Claudia. If we kill Claudia, we might help ourselves. But if you kill Claudia, it's the Lord. That's why the knights and soldiers around them hesitate.

"... kill me... I must not live... I am not worthy to live..."

Do you notice the eyes around it? Claudia is whining about words that disparage her.

"Kill her! Kill her because anyone can! And that will save us all! If you can't do that, clear the way!

It was these deefried words that made those around them decide. Hear that. Knights and soldiers walk away from around Claudia. I don't like killing with my own hands, so I'm gonna leave it to Deefleet.

"... I... need... whoa..."

The blood that gets Claudia's mouth thrown out blocks. A sword profoundly pierced its body. That doesn't belong to Deefleet.

"... I'm sorry. Dear Claudia,"

"O, male, Mr. Carr......?

It was Oscar who put his sword up against Claudia's body. He is pushing his sword into Claudia's chest in such a position as to hold her from her back.

"... I can't let anyone else... kill you..."

"... no way"

A bitter Oscar voice. Claudia noticed when she heard that. The sword being pushed into his body also reaches Oscar's body, which he is holding from his back.

"Kill the Lord... Himself... and only... survive. I can't... I can't"

"... well, what, what?

I'm not as loyal as I've ever been. Claudia knows that, too.

"Wow, I... am your... knight... from"

"O, Oscar, you don't have to die..."

"Hi, one, about... this, this kind of guy... yes, you can stay, right? Oh, you, too... oh, like mine... yes, after life... there are servants, ministers."

"Oh, no... no..."

There is no one alone who is truly loyal to himself. That's what Claudia always thought. I also thought Oscar, who says this, was not loyal to himself, but only on his side because of his detention as a knight. But the fact that there were people dying with themselves, even if it was possible to analogize, set a small light on Claudia's mind.

"Oh, I won't let you be alone... that's what I've decided."

"Why...?

"... K, Klau, Dia, Sama. Wow, wow, did you?

Interrupted words. There was definitely a grin on Oscar's face, though it seemed painful.

"What...?

"Ji, Ji Bun was... ah, you, of... this, my fiancée... right?

…………

It is not the sense of purpose as a knight that Oscar dies with him, but as a single man. Claudia is incredible to hear about it.

"Shh, at least... Shh, shh..."

Oscar's hand leaves the sword and hugs Claudia's body hard. But that's only for a few moments. Claudia felt Oscar's body slip down behind her.

"... Mr. Oscar? Mr. Oscar!?

He bled heavily from his abdomen into Claudia's eyes as he looked back, showing Oscar falling to the ground.

"Ma, magic. That's right. We need to help."

Claudia casts sacred magic in an attempt to help Oscar. But the magic never activated when the chant was over.

"Duh, why? Oh, not if you're in a hurry. Again, calm down."

Claudia casting magic again. But the results are the same. Magic remains in Claudia's body. It never activates.

"... why... why!?

What makes magic unusable? Claudia is feeling thin. How can I be better than a dying Oscar? Claudia pulls out at once the sword that remained stabbed in her chest. The wound was blocked with tremendous momentum even though nothing had been done.

"... but again... I'm fine now. My wound's healed, so I can use it next time."

Claudia speaks the chant again, but the magic still didn't work.

"... I don't like it. I want to help. Now I want to help! I really want to help! Please! Somebody! Help Mr. Oscar!

Claudia's head starts when she sees her sister, Sophilia, dead. But not now. Claudia really wants to help Oscar.

"Please... please... someone... or help him..."

"Get out of there!

It was Deefleet who came. I didn't come in response to Claudia's call, but Deefleet has a desire to help Oscar.

"Oscar! Hold on, Oscar! Oscar!"

I call it hard, but Oscar doesn't show any reaction.

"Are there no other users of divine magic!? Anyone!?

There was nothing to raise my hand on Deefleet's call. There should only be enough of these armies to count, such as the users of sacred magic. Those few are unfortunately nowhere near.

Deefleet doing his hand to Oscar's belly to at least stop the bleeding, but his touched body loses more and more body temperature and hardens.

"... no..."

Diefleet who drips his head and whines small. There is no magic to bring the dead back to life. Even if it did, it's just about making an undead. Oscar will not return.

"No, no, no, no, no! No, no, no, no, no!

Claudia's screams echoed around when she learned of Oscar's death.

"Claudia......"

I was about to kill him earlier, but I don't feel like sticking my sword up to Claudia in her current state. Though Deefleet stared at Claudia with sad eyes.

"... not forgiven... not forgiven... not forgiven... not forgiven"

"Claudia?"

"... die... perish... this world... we just have to be gone"

"... you can't allow that"

A noisy word spinning from Claudia's mouth. It's not sadness, it's madness that emanates from that body. Deefleet's sympathy for Claudia disappears from his heart.

"Die, die, die, die, die, die. I wish everything was doomed!

"You can't allow that!

A sword wielded by Deefleet severs Claudia's head from directly above. But Claudia walked out with no pain at all. Blood blowing out of my head. But it quickly lost momentum and eventually stopped.

"... doom. Destroy me. I don't want this world that doesn't accept me. You can just disappear."
