(Lady, please stay safe...!!)

I run towards the castle gate that separates the 1st Sanctuary from the St. Royal Palace.

"Reggie, you know, the 1st Knights, I'll talk."

That's what Mr. Lerenoa said to me while running at full speed.

Indeed, the castle gate is consolidated by the Knights of the Holy Kings.

What are you doing? Something's going on right now! Not this way, behind you!

"I don't need it."

"Huh."

I awaken many of the gifts my body has learned. [Strengthened Arm], [Strengthened Spine], [Strengthened Abs], Extremely [Strengthened Body].

"Yeah eh!?"

Gun, I feel it makes a difference from Mr. Lennoah. My body winds up and reduces the distance to the castle gate at once.

"Hey, where are you escort--"

"Stop, stop, you can't go through here --"

He lowered himself and kicked his cobblestone with [instant enhancement] and [leap technique].

"Yep, yep!?"

I leave Mr. Lerenoa's scream behind and gently jump over the castle gate to land on the other side.

([Recovery magic])

The muscle fibers are screaming because they were so impotent, but magically cure it.

Run out of the unpopular Palace of the Holy King. Towards hemispherical darkness.

(What's that? There's a lady in there, isn't there? Not yet--)

I remember when I fought dragons in the territorial capital of the Duke of Ahenbach.

I didn't have the strength to fight. Mr. Nong took me after the battlefield.

At that time, if I had the same power, I might not have had to die many people.

Even Mr. Lykira may not have had to die.

(--Not yet, we might make it. I'll make it!)

There is a dark dome looming right there. Should we just go inside, or something else --?

!!

At that time, I discovered the shadow of a person who had fallen in front of the dome.

* Eva-Sullies *

Eva thought at first that her vision had dimmed because she had lost her mind. But soon, I realize that my senses are normal, other than my vision. The warmth of Mira embracing herself, someone shouting, coming in the wind —— burning smells.

"Holy King, what is this!?"

Bright things were limited in the dark. The brilliance of holy water colors flooded from the body of the Holy Prince Kruvschlat, who was right beside him, the same light that the Holy King, who is benevolent on the stone steps, also has.

When I gazed, there was a stronger darkness beside the Holy King, from which a black mist seemed to be erupting.

"Whoa, whoa! Town!!"

The thick arms of the Holy King filled the sceptre with strength, swinging it down towards a strong darkness.

The place where the darkness was is where Louis stood until earlier.

(Is Master Louis...?

I don't want to think about it, an unpleasant imagination passes behind Eva's brain.

That is.

I wonder if that darkness is (...), Louis (...).

The darkness then pulled the body away, but the intensity of the surrounding darkness —— the darkness full of this space felt slightly soothed.

"-- I'm sorry, it's okay now"

"Dear Eva!? Are you okay?"

"Yes... just don't look me in the eye"

Eva, whose magic had returned, woke up physically holding Mira's face so she wouldn't see it.

It was thought that the human beings who properly understood what was happening here would be about the Holy King and El, and the Duke of Rosier.

(My demon eyes make Master Louis...)

I knew Louis' over-strength behavior was obviously caused by his "inspirational demon eyes".

My chest hurts so painfully.

Regret makes me feel like a burden.

"EL! What does this mean!!"

"Well, Your Holiness... in the Duke's house, you must have been powerless to accept such a gifted pearl."

"But you never said this would happen!!"

"Ha... For all the holy kings of the past had given gifted pearls to the 'Innocent' with holy water colours…"

Holy water color.

Innocent.

Those two are the keys.

Louis didn't have the holy water color —— but what the hell happened just to take in the gifted pearls?

"... Kuki, Co... Kakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakaka

A dry, squeaky voice sounded.

It was the darkness that dawned. Darkness, not Louis--that's what Eva tried to believe.

Eva's skin pops to the sensation of being able to spine.

"Louis!!"

I hear the screams of the Duke of Rosier, and there are signs that the nobles who were here to watch will rise and flee.

"-- hey, what is this? It's walled and I can't move on!

"-- Knights! Shake the sword!

I can't seem to escape either. I also heard a sword wave, but it's bouncing back with a small spark.

(Yes, the 1st Squad of the Knights of the Holy Kings is on guard here. So it's okay, it's okay)

Eva puts her hand on her chest as she tells herself.

"Pity Lena. Fugitive Gerkotoha Suitable Wanu '

A voice that does not show emotion is heard from the darkness.

"Shut up. You die —— Knights Leader!!"

"Ha."

"Slash!!"

"Ha."

From where it appeared, a third light appeared, visible even in this darkness —— it was made captain of the 1st Squad of the Knights of the Holy Kings and captain of the Knights, the man.

The colour of the plucked sword is golden.

My body is scattered with light like scaly powder.

"That's [Holy Swordsmanship] --!!"

Someone screamed like they were excited.

Six stars, the highest force in this country.

The light illuminates a samurai like a bamboo. In order not to lose the genius pearl of [Holy Sword Arts], the Knights Commander is not going to the front line and is sometimes said to be an "honorary position," etc., but the Knights Commander is not weak at all.

Trained as a samurai, the successor will be the one recognized by the two former Knights Commanders and the Holy King.

The Knights leader, wearing metal armor (plates and mails), waved down the sword of light as he moaned the cloak.

"Ah--"

Moments, so much light that you can't keep your eyes open rips the darkness apart. My feet shake and Eva wears a buttcake. Someone is screaming.

When that shock subsided —— it took only a few moments before normal vision returned as blurred vision.

The darkness had not yet left.

"... obo"

A knight captain was pierced in the belly by a sword.

The sword was a treasure sword.

It is a treasure sword given by the Duke of Rosier for his son Louis.

(I knew that was...)

Eva thinks about it. Um, the dark mass that took the shape of a person is Louis.

The Knights captain fell down on the spot and stopped moving.
