The Branded Female Fencer

City of Pleasure, Part 217 - Endless Desire

It was when Jake put his sword away that Layer realized. I don't believe what you've done, what you should have seen. Six times, Jake's sword actually flashed while the layers rolled out the poke. As a human being, impossible speed. When did we meet in the woods at night, which was faster than the storm of the sword trident? Layer, who returned to me to the body of a falling bandrass, held something like awe of Jake.

"Jake, the sword now..."

"... that's not good. It could collapse."

"Huh?"

Jake was right, the whole underground was swamped. Part of the ceiling cracked and collapsed, along with the sound of the beast groaning at the bottom of the blood. Looking at the falling dirt, Layer remembered that this place was deep underground. Layer's question was blowing up somewhere.

"In this basement, you were reinforcing it with the ability of Banderas. Dig the hole, 'save' the outer wall and secure it. That makes it possible to make one of your own, and if you die, you collapse naturally and this place will never be discovered. You don't have to bother breaking it when you pull it off, or expanding it."

"What if I'm saying something long? If we don't get out of here soon, the entrance I came in will collapse."

"You won't be able to do it anymore. It'll collapse while you're climbing."

"Then I'll let Bandras open a new path with a save"

"To this guy now?

The limbs of the bandrass that Jake points to were almost amputated. On the contrary, was it no longer possible to live in itself? Whether the life activity itself was due to the property of preservation, the dying bandrass was rapidly old. It was best to barely breathe, and it was even unclear which was longer than the collapse of the basement or his life expectancy.

The bandrass' mouth barely moved.

"Too bad... I want to keep you guys alive, but I can't move or use my abilities anymore."

"You don't have about one of the escape routes?

"No, because the ability of Non was the escape route itself. Keep a hole in it and save that hole. And if you install it anywhere, it's an escape route. There were virtually no entrances or exits when we were caged here."

"I see, I can't find it. I want to ask you one thing, where's the thinnest wall? It's not like we can get out of here other than up there, is it? It's about you, I should've made this place so I could get out in another direction. Which wall?

"Hyo-hyo, do you even know that? The left wall. But the place is hard to explain..."

"Left"?

That's all Jake asked, and he started walking toward the wall. And pick out one place.

"Right here."

Jake's sword flashes. Layer thought there would be no way he could dig the wall with a sword, but speaking of which, how did Jake get in here in the first place? As Layer watched, the place Jake slashed collapsed, creating a flat, empty sidewalk.

Layers who weren't going to be surprised no matter what happened just can't hide their surprises. But my body was moving faster than I thought. Not even looking at the lying bandrass, Layer ran out after Jake.

The remaining bandrass dropped off the boys' backs in a sneaky manner. I understand the rationale behind what Jake did. Perhaps, Bandras recreated the scene by searching for a passage that had been connected to the outside. And what a brilliant thing to run through without looking back. Bandras scoffed at himself thinking that it might be the privilege of young people, which he only saw before, was old in itself.

The time left behind is only a few, but Banderas decided in the meantime to wait for his favorite fantasy. The running light pushed over to the side and all I thought about was Jake. Rapidly rising physical abilities during battle, the power to accurately foresee the opponent's weaknesses, the sword from which even evil spirits can retreat, and the power now. An idea flashed like the light emitted from the clouds into the consciousness of the hazy banderas. If the idea is true - Bandras can't help but laugh as he spits blood.

"... Hyo-hyo, Hyo-hyo! No way, is that possible!? Individuals have more traits than just common sense! Nobody noticed! If we don't get rid of that kid, it's gonna be hell! No, you were allowed to have that much property because you needed it? Is there anyone there? Whoever hears this idea..."

"You're saying something that bothers me. Why don't you tell me something?"

In the collapsing underground cavity, the darkness moved as it drifted. It was small and shaped. It looked like a fairy, but the shape is blurry and clearly invisible. It is clear that there is no such thing as a proper existence. Banderas talked obsessively, wondering if it might be a phantom he could see during his death after a moment. If you don't tell someone the thoughts you have now, you can't die to die.

"Oh, who are you - no, anyone? Non noticed something terrible. It's a trait of a kid named Jake."

"Isn't it something like" The Holy Knight "? They say they have a special power over evil spirits."

"No, it's not. If that's the case, your fighting power outside of the evil spirits is abnormal. And that intuition. deviating from the realm of the survey. Some of them had specialized combat abilities against evil spirits, but they were completely different.

Look, it's probably the kid's trait. "

The shape of the shadow swayed at the answer Banderas told.

"... stupid, is that possible? If so, that fucking kid..."

"Dear Left, depending on who you are, you can be a presence that even dictates the fate of the continent. I wish it were just the continent, but I can even relate to the very way this world is. But that's not the problem. I can think of two reasons why humans with such properties emerged. That's..."

Bandrass raises two reasons. It swayed as the shadow was in the air.

"- I see, thanks to you, my hypothesis has been confirmed. Is Lisa still the center?"

"You would be right. I once heard about two stories about women with similar hair colors. Once as a happy story, once as an unhappy story. If that story were to be reproduced, it would be about 20 years before something really matters. I can't tell if it's necessary to fulfill that important thing. But it is true that the fate of the continent will change, regardless of their consciousness."

"Which way do you think you're going to fall? The good or the bad"

"If you're such a straight-hearted boy, it's for the better"

"Well... that's troublesome. I have to ask the evil one to fall. After all, the plan needs to be speeded up... and there may not be much more time to spare than Romansland has moved."

The shadow was shaking. Why, it looked like a bandrass as if it was laughing.

"Thank you very much for your valuable information. It was worth keeping my eyes and ears alone. Say thank you, but I'll make the most of all of you and your saved stuff later. Looks like some of them are relics, and it's a waste of time to let them decay under the soil.

You can make the most of yourself. [M] As a material, forever. That's all right, right?

The shadow laughed wickedly, but Banderas didn't care about that either. Honestly, I don't even understand what the shadow is saying. But it's your desire to come here and bring your head. Even before this overwhelming death, there is still an inexhaustible desire. The light in the eyes of a dying bandrass burned up like a star before it burned out.

"Non wants to see...! Even if my body decays, I want to see the end of those two lads! For that, I will sell my soul to any evil! Let me live, let me live!

"Yeah, it's troublesome... but it's also my duty, the king of evil spirits, to hear it. Is he? Fine, the desire, I accept. As part of my evil spirit, I'll take you. It just takes a lot of time for my main unit to come back. By then, you've been evil spirited here, haven't you?

"If you say that you will fulfill the desire of Non, I will accomplish and show you anything. Thank you."

"Oh, man, you're a profound creature. Still, you've never been thanked for being an evil spirit... can I be happy with this?

Shadow - Doom's split confirmed the collapsing underground cavity with strange emotions. Bandras was also buried under massive amounts of soil, leading up to his preserved remains, weapons and protective equipment, treasures and experions.

But then again, when the Temple Knights and Tarram vigilantes dug up this place, it meant that no matter how much they dug in, they couldn't find one.
