167 Stories Claire's Confessions and Waking Up Lucy

Gapon's manipulative statue is ten.

This one against only four.

But when Claire flashed her crystal sword, half of the enemy's statues were wiped out.

Claire straightened the crystal sword as it was and advanced.

I run next to Claire, too.

One of the rest of the statues attacked me.

But his right arm, followed by his torso, was slashed down with a treasure sword, Tetracord.

The target is Gapon himself.

No matter how much you defeat the statue, Gapon seems to be able to summon infinitely, so there is no point.

However, thanks to the power of Claire's crystal sword, I saw a winning opportunity.

All you have to do is wrap up and destroy the statue and approach Gapon.

With Claire's crystal sword and her power as the Virgin of Sophia, she may also be able to break down the magical barrier that protects Gapon.

"Hmm."

Gapon snapped briefly, waving a bronze cane.

A bullet of light spreads from there, but it didn't strike me and Claire.

Because Sophia, and Philia, are covering for us.

All the statues of the gods were also destroyed.

Gapon tries to summon more idols with his cane.

but I can't make it.

Because I stepped in and Claire's sword was already here to reach Gapon.

Me and Claire gaponed and swung down their swords.

This may not be enough to defeat the power of the Demon King.

But we have a trump card.

"God. Save us."

Together with the Rin voice of Sophia, a light shining in gold is emitted from the wand.

Make it the Knights of St. Sophia's most powerful adventurer and one of the best users of ecclesiastical magic.

With the power of that Sophia, you can also defeat Gapon's Demon King Barrier.

If you tap me and Claire's sword in there, the gapon is over.

I was up to that possibility.

But...

Sophia's attack was held back by a magic barrier, and me and Claire's sword were bounced back.

Claire gives a look of despair.

And in the next moment, Gapon's bullet of light was released clairvoyantly.

And from close range.

"Ahhhh"

Claire screamed high and fell into the spot.

I jumped away from holding Claire.

We need to retreat once more than the attack can make sense.

But Claire had an attack penetrating her arms, legs and chest, and was all bloody.

"... because I'm going to do the restorative magic now"

To my words, Claire smiled weakly and shook her neck to the side.

"You have to abandon me and fight me, right?

"I said if Claire was in danger, I'd protect her."

"I'm glad. But... I... won't help anymore."

Claire was in dangerous condition, indeed.

To the extent that I use healing magic to contain the bleeding to some extent does not constitute a fundamental cure.

We need full treatment as soon as possible, but unless we beat Gapon, we can't afford that.

Claire gently stroked my cheek with her bloody hands.

"I was going to tell you when the battle was over, but I don't... I don't seem to have time anymore. So..."

"Not if you talk. Claire won't die."

"... I liked Mr. Solon. Ever since I was a young, vulnerable girl."

I felt my heart bounce.

Indeed, Claire's eyes on me... were slightly different from those on Cleon and Sophia.

I felt my cheeks get hot, but now it's time to do something about this situation.

Claire said she wanted to live in my mansion. To make it happen, we have to defeat Gapon and help Claire.

But the situation is tough.

I used healing magic to try to get back to Sophia and Philia.

Now that Claire can't fight, I'm the only one who can protect the two guards.

But it was faster than I went back, and Gapon's new statue appeared before Sophia.

"Ah... no..."

Raise your voice as small as Sophia was frightened.

Those jade eyes were stained with fear.

Sophia can't use magic for a while because she did everything she could just now and shot magic.

So I couldn't resist the statue either.

The shaken fist of the statue blew Sophia relentlessly.

I couldn't even scream, and Sophia was slapped against the wall.

"... Sophia!

I shouted and called, but there was no response to Sophia falling on her back and she seemed to be slowly unconscious.

Now all that's left is me and Philia.

"Solon......"

Phyllia comes running over to me.

My silver hair fluttered and swayed.

And he looked up at me with blue eyes.

What am I supposed to do?

I can't wait to worry about Sophia, but now me and Philia are doing the best they can to protect themselves.

Besides, Claire is seriously injured.

The solution is…….

"You know, Solon... I want you to use my magic to the limit."

"But... if you do that, Dear Philia..."

Previously, Arte the Wise also used all the magic of the girls of the Descendants of the Demon King as he wished. Doing so resulted in the girls of the Descendants of the Demon King being sacrificed and abandoned or, in terrible cases, dead.

As far as I can use Phyllia's magic, that means I'm in the same danger.

"But... if you don't, you can't beat Father Gapon."

Phyllia is right, that's the only means left.

No... I have another trump card.

It's Lucy's last book of magic. But I don't know how to use it correctly and I haven't been able to activate the effect.

Gapon speaks to us.

"Solon, if you surrender, I guarantee your own safety and that of Her Royal Highness."

"In that case, what happens to Dr. Lucy, Claire, and the Sophias?

"You have already lost. Getting everything is arrogant. Professor Lucy will be the reign of the Resurrection of the Demon King, and the Virgin Sophia will serve as the reign of the new Resurrection of the Demon King. Ensign Claire will die."

"Because..."

I can't drink that suggestion, and I'm lost.

Regardless of me, if Philia wants to help...

But Philia shook her head sideways.

"I'm not thinking about abandoning everyone and helping me alone."

I nodded to Philia.

Then we have to find a way to open up this situation.

Of course, in a way that Philia herself would not sacrifice.

Gapon has advised us to surrender.

Looking at the situation, it's supposed to be easy for Gapon to kill me and capture the Phileas.

I mean, there's something weak about Gapon, and he doesn't want to fight us any more.

Then we still have a winner too.

That's when I groaned behind my back.

"Solon... how could you... be here?

Looking back, there was Lucy restrained in chains, staring at me with crimson eyes.
