"Are you being slaughtered...?"
"Yeah. That's two of them, Arondal. I mean, you can talk in such a state a lot."
"... I don't feel any pain. I didn't think it would hurt to have my body slashed. It's a complete defeat, isn't it?"
Arondal's fallen body is split in two and he is lying on the ground.
Because I swung out the demon sword Norn vertically, and my torso was cut off from my shoulder.
Based on Arondal's technique, I used a slashing method called [sharp blade], so the cross-sectional view was clean and there was no blood.
So Arondal's fallen consciousness seemed clear.
But how about talking?
At first, I didn't seem to feel any pain, but my lungs were slashed, so I moved my mouth and gradually became a face that seemed to be in pain.
"Thanks to you, I've been able to study." Thank you, Arondal. Shall I give you a last word as a thank you? ”
I was feeling better after having successfully attached an unprecedented sharpness to my magic sword.
The moment I slashed the target, I used both magic power and blood on the demon sword at the same time.
It has allowed us to make dramatic changes.
So I decided to show mercy.
If there is a will, I will call out to you to hear it.
"... help me. I've heard you can heal like a miracle." Even the defect is cured. Then, wouldn't you be able to cure me of my current condition? "
"What? No way." You can't help someone who fought as an enemy. "
"...... I still want to live. It won't end like this. I thought I had cultivated my sword technique with my previous training, but that was a mistake. Even in the land of Ellis, my sword was the most sharp. Yet you have offered me a higher point in my path. It is too sloppy to decay here. Please, that's right. If you help me, I will work for you. That's right... haha..."
Maybe because I talked all at once, all the air in Arondal's body has been used up.
She has trouble breathing, her face has turned pale, and her expression has turned pale.
I didn't expect to be begged for my life.
Because I had the impression that if I wanted to kill you, I'd have to kill you.
However, it is also clear that Arondal's words are not just asking for help because his life is in danger.
It's because my body is divided into two parts and there is little air left.
Normally, you would either desperately ask for help or bump into the person who slashed you.
But Arondal was different.
He said that it was a pity that he had not been able to master the path of martial arts.
I don't know how it feels.
If it was the other way around, I might have thought so too.
Until now, I had thoroughly trained my magic manipulation with Eye's teachings.
Then, I created a flow that moved magic power according to the movement of my body, and I wanted to do it myself.
But there was a way ahead.
There were still more ways to improve the sharpness of the magic sword than ever before.
If you lose your life the moment you realize it, you'll regret it and have no choice.
Because there is a point where I thought it was extremely important.
If I can, I want to get there first.
I don't think so.
That's why Arondal knows what he wants to say, just like he does.
Maybe he's just like me or Ian.
I think it's a race that finds it fun to be in the field of battle.
It's a pity to die in battle, but it's a pity to be unable to fight.
Such conflicting emotions erupted just before death, so even if he defeated himself, he asked for help.
"Very well, then, swear, Arondal." You will fight as my limb until you die again. If you can swear to that, I'll help you. "
"I swear, by my sword, I will use all my time from now on for you."
"You have a contract." I hope that's not a lie. "
I picked up Arondal's body rolling on the ground and stuck to it.
And in that state, I activated my magic.
It was Healing .
I was touched by the sharpness of my demon sword.
Normally, if my body split into two, I couldn't cure [recovery].
However, since the cutting cross section was too clean, and since it was just after the cutting, Arondal's revival was completed without any problems.
However, shortly after the wound healed, I thrust my magic sword at Arondal again.
To kill again.
Then of course not.
For my vows.
Pledge the vows made before [Recovery] to perform the ceremony in the Barca Church.
I sent a part of the demon sword Norn into Arondal's body.
This will make me feel the pain of death if he betrays me in the future.
I don't know what's gonna happen.
He who betrays himself, even if he feels pain, will betray himself.
But it could still be a good pickup.
Fine, the Orient army had fewer pawns to take on its stronger enemies.
This one will be able to slash some opponents, and there's plenty of room to grow stronger.
The red and black magic stones were also implanted into my body when I stuck my magic sword, so I could suck out my blood and increase my strength.
For now, let's kill him until he dies.
Thus, I decided to join Arondal, one of the Ten Swordsmen in the land of Iris.
