Our demon king is coming. (formerly Mayday A Series)
41: Machia (Machirier), Memory 12.
I doubted my eyes.
I finally got there, in the land of Eyesmore, to see the worst I ever wanted to see.
No, but somewhere, there was definitely anxiety.
The Black Demon King... torque is torn to death by the brave, such a nightmare.
In the middle of a white snowfield, red was just noticeable.
"... Torque... Torque... Huh!!
Torque fell on top of it, and he was still unconscious, with a blurry look. I run over to him, crouch down and call his name. Grab the bloodstained snow.
"What's wrong with you!! Ah... I can't believe this is happening to you!!
"... Red Witch..."
He has passed through despair, a look of nothingness. That reminds me of death.
Torque smiled just a little when he found out who I was.
"Ha... it's been a while... But not anymore. I'm... dying."
"... why... eh. You tell him you lost to the brave!!
"Helena stabbed me..."
"Huh...?
His words were painful and I was temporarily unbelievable.
Helena did? Why?
We loved each other so much, we weren't brave, why would Helena...
But the wounds of the Black Demon King should also have healing magic working.
Even though I was pierced through my stomach, I completely healed it in about three nights.
If I could have moved faster, I could have saved the Black Demon King.
I held the torque's upper body back to see how the wound looked. But you'll see soon enough. That the healing magic technique that was built in his body has not worked at all.
"No... healing magic doesn't work..."
"... how could you..."
Why......
When I was, I was fine.
I didn't know why. If Helena stabbed you, all the more so, I don't know what torque means to die. A normal person would die. Because even wounds don't kill us.
Only fear came up from the tip of my hands and feet and just shook my head.
"I don't like it!! If I die to you, I... I'm really not gonna be alone...... Huh!! In a world like this, I was the only one with this power..."
Crying, I appealed to Torque.
As it is, I'm really going to be alone.
Everywhere in this world, people like me are gone.
If both the White Sage and the Black Demon King are dead, I...
But more than that, the torque just seemed spicy and I couldn't do it very well.
How much sorrow is betrayed by the one you love?
Betrayed, are you going to die?
Does Torque die that way?
My beloved will die in such a cruel way.
"Sorry......"
Torque, for one word, apologized to me.
In that word, I understand. Oh, it's gonna be over, I said.
This Black Demon King, who lived and lived 200 years and missed many people, is now making death his present. That's very, very lonely and sad, but maybe it's one of our salvations in a way... And I'm the one who drops it off.
"... Helena... how..."
"... torque..."
Torque, at the end of the day, still cared about Helena.
I tie my lips all the time and try to figure out what his last hope is and what it is.
"McIlier...... sorry. I was torn by a brave man... eh. Until Helena... betray me..."
………
I put Torque's head on my knees and I combed his hair with my fingers.
Even though Helena killed him, he still can't resent Helena and has no training for her.
He was so pathetic, I couldn't stop crying and I shook my knotted lips.
You're a stupid man.
This is why you're not going to get killed.
……
There's a lot I wanted to say to Torque.
I've really always liked you.
I enjoyed being with you.
Please, don't leave me alone.
But all those words swallowed up, and I just wanted to take the despair of torque, the wish.
"It's alright. Your loved... not Helena. I'm sure I didn't betray you... I'll get her back from the brave. I'll help you......"
"............ maquillier......"
Torque opened his eyes once and looked up at me.
Only a little at this time, I feel the power of his body has fallen out, and I hold his hand and smile small.
I never want the end of the torque to end with something hard and painful.
That was my best wish. Even if it was a reaffirmation of the bond between Torque and Helena.
I'll do anything for it.
With my promise to Torque, I can still live.
"Oh...... please, McIlier"
Torque wept, shook my hand back, and did the favor.
That was one salvation for me, but also enough pain to rip my chest open.
Oh.
I couldn't get past Helena until the end.
Torque, who entrusted me with Helena, was relieved, closed his eyes to sleep softly, and eventually his breath stopped, and he lost his power to hold my hand.
……
It's dead.
My loved one is dead.
We've been thinking to each other over and over again about when the hell we're going to die. But death was so bland, and so cruel.
For a little while I was holding Torque's body and weeping silently.
I want to die. I want to die, too. I want to go with Torque.
The weakness that eroded me at this time was something I managed to control by my promise to Torque.
But maybe I was happier without any promises.
If Torque and I died here, I'm sure it was still, like, a salvation for me.
I lay my cold torque body on the ground, wrapped his cheeks with my hands and gently mouthed his lips.
It was the first and last, farewell mouthpiece.
"Goodbye... Goodbye... Eh, Torque..."
To myself, as I say.
Torque is dead. If you don't engrave your goodbyes into yourself.
Standing up slowly, I looked up into the sky.
Dawn's, very lonely colors. Quiet, clear time, not dark, not bright.
On a snowfield where no one was, I cried out loud.
Because if I didn't cry like I would spit out everything that accumulated in me, I wouldn't have been able to stand it.
I don't know what to do, what to do, which, my promise to Torque, shows me.
So I took the sword of torque.
"... eh"
His sword, the authority of the Space-Time King, rejects me and acts to cut myself from where I hold it.
But while I hurt my body, I never let go of that sword.
If you swallow my blood to gain more powerful power, that's fine.
"Fine... I'll give you as much blood as I want... But please... give me the power to take him down... oh, torque... eh!!
Defeat the brave. Kill that man.
That determination makes me stand up. That keeps me alive and long.
I kept my torque sword in my hand strong, closed my eyes once and breathed slowly.
And when I open my eyes, I'm not just a red witch anymore.
It was the Demon King.
He was the worst demon king ever, determined to use that power just to destroy it.
Put Torque's body on the spot, and there's no more sparing him.
Don't even try to seek salvation, I went down the snowfield.
Those eyes must have looked to a place you shouldn't have seen.
