Why they gave us strength.
The answer is about to be revealed.
I have doubted my power many times before.
I have shaken it off by joining the Demon King Army, and I haven't thought much lately, but if the source of its power is from the Beast of God, it would be strange not to understand the interest.
"--- I empowered you because I felt a sense of crisis."
"A sense of crisis...?"
"I was on your side at the time, and I realized that Fillion was trying to do something. It begins by giving your ancestors a fragment of my power for the time of day."
Ancestors... are you referring to our dear grandmother?
Fillion is a god beast who made me a child in the St. Real.
You mean you shared power because you were planning something?
"I wish you could have moved instead of bothering to empower us humans...?"
Bern shook his head to the side when Rifa asked.
"Whatever form, if the power of the Beast interferes with each other, we will not be spared disaster. In the first place, the opponent is Filion, a dangerous god beast who irresponsibly spreads the woods and seeks to keep the life of the continent in his hands. I'm not the right person to talk to."
"Leon was a goddamn beast...."
"I seem to be on the human side now, but I was still in danger of what he did."
I thought that god beast was usually a bad one, but it's a magimon.
No, I was really scared of your face when you nailed me about Kate.
"That's why we needed a brave man to stop the Fillion's plan when it came time."
"Is that us?"
"... no, I wasn't expecting it in the first place, and Phillion had become a god beast standing on the side of the human side... but the way to do it was out of the ordinary."
Bern with a slight look on his face.
However, I immediately regained my mind and continued to speak.
"He was about to perform a ritual to summon pure demon cultivators from other worlds. I happen to know that I have given you the power that I gave you, the daughters of Sheena, the heirs of the people who shared my power."
"That's my shadow..."
"You mean cold air...."
"I'm glad you're twins in a way. We were able to stabilize our power by dividing it into two."
Is it true that the origins of the power of Rifa and I are the same, and that the power of Rifa was originally the same?
"Then, you were led by fate to meet Kite, the Pure Demon's user. There's no manoeuvre there, and you just met so you could get caught in the middle of a big vortex."
No, somehow it's too grand, but that means we had the power to help you, Kate?
"It makes sense to summon Kite to this world. Eventually, he will be caught up in a big problem involving the Beast. ——— It's too difficult and irrational for him to face alone."
"For that, us?"
"I don't think it's a terrible, selfish story. But don't get me wrong. I just gave you power, and I'm doing nothing else."
So Bern turned his gaze to Rifa.
The gaze had gentle eyes that reminded me of my child's thoughtful parents.
"Reefa, your encounters with Kate, your days as an adventurer, your battles as a brave man are all yours to choose and spin."
"... yeah"
Reefa nodded with joy.
Next, Bern looks at me, but his expression is somehow steep.
"Nia, it's all your fault that you entered the Demon King army with anger, that you tried to grab Kite with your own lust, and that you were made to be a child by Phillion."
"Wait a minute, I'm not the only one worse!?"
It's true! It's true!?
"How badly your gunsmith has tortured me. If Phillion hadn't stopped, the Black Adventurer of the St. Real would have killed him."
"Gu, uu..."
There is no word to return.
I thought you'd missed it, but I didn't think Leon was helping you.
"But you must be stronger than that."
……?
"Still strong enough in humans. But that's not enough. Kite's body returns to the body of the former Pure Demon, and its magic becomes pure."
The table made of the shadow in front of us disappears.
Along with that, the surrounding ruins are transformed.
"Let's ask. Are you prepared to continue walking with the last pure demon, Alihara Kite?"
Question thrown while creating the surrounding space.
Perhaps we can give him some sort of test.
This question holds you hostage to the challenge.
"Of course. Whatever happens, I'm with him."
"... I like him too, and what's more, it's a boat."
Somehow he accepts me.
I appreciate everything that happened in the city, and that hateful kid blew me off.
Rather, at first I was aiming for pure magic, and somehow I was attracted to his humanity.
"---Okay, then."
When Bern nods satisfactorily, the shadowy woman next to him walks out in front of us.
The woman respectfully presents herself to us in order to expose our vigilance.
Long sleeves close enough to hide, long skirts close enough to reach your feet.
With her whole black body, she releases a fighting spirit that makes her feel as sharp as a thin blade.
She's my first family member.
———
Fight her now, defeat her and show her.
When the shadow woman lightly waves her right hand, a curved sword made of ice is created.
——— Shit, that guy's so strong...!?
That's why we can't win in bundles...!
Besides, I'm a kid now -
Let's get that body back together.
"Wow!?"
When Bern's eyes shine for a moment, my body is wrapped in light and returns to its original size.
It's been a long time since my body - for some reason, the size of my clothes is perfect with the light.
Bern looks sharply at me as he touches his body in surprise.
"Don't think it's easy to win. He is a first-class warrior with hundreds of years of training, capable of manipulating shadows and cold air - close to what you call a black adventurer."
"" Nh! "
----The Black Adventurer.
That's what makes my body tremble.
Not from fear, but from the joy of being able to fight such opponents.
I raise my voice to the referee who holds the knife next to me as I create a double sword from both hands.
"Reefa, don't get your feet together."
"This dialogue. Please don't let me leave you...!"
"Superior...!"
Hold the weapon with a light mouth.
Standing with her curved sword on the ground, she sweats cold, slowly and defenselessly.
"Together. Use your strength as a weapon. Understand them, and in a few minutes you will be able to be even stronger."
I can hear Bern from afar.
A trial that began suddenly.
But it is a battle against the talented who follow the Black Adventurer.
With a sense of exhilaration and tension, I once held on to a double sword made of ice.
