Yomigaeri no Maou

Episode 212: The Fallen Enemy

"... that's a lie!

Aero's screaming voice echoed loudly into the prison.

The girl seemed surprised by the words, but it seemed Aero herself was more surprised than anyone else.

He opens his eyes in amazement, then hugs the bitterly groaning mouse's zaza body and stares at what to do with the pieces he stabbed.

"... Aero, give up. No more rats."

"No... that's not true! You can still do something... yeah, healing magic or something... you said there was!?

"I do, though. I can't use it, and you can't use it, can you? Look, no. What, don't worry... I told you earlier, you'll be reborn even if you die... I'll see you somewhere else. Don't be so sad."

"That's a lie... I heard that. When I died, it was over there. There's no" next "..."

"Come on, that's a lie, isn't it? I don't know who told you this, but why should I lie to you, my buddy?"

"That's... I don't know. But my uncle who told me... he seemed so desperate. I felt like I was trying to tell you something. But... I don't feel anything from you. Why... I've been thinking a lot about things I don't know while I'm here."

"Heh... what did you think? Tell me, Aero."

"If the creature dies there and ends up, that I was a forest... it was a terrible thing, or... maybe what you're trying to do isn't really a good thing, or so much... Hey, what are you trying to do? Why are you trying to kill a lot of people? Tell me the truth!

Aero's voice, which began to speak of bumps, was a loud cry at the end of the day.

The girl heard it, smiled, then shook her head and said.

"True thing, or... too bad, Aero. You..."

Girl approaching once.

And slowly lifted hands are pointed at the Aero.

And

"... ugh!?

Something like an elongated stick stretched out of the girl's hand and pierced Aero's chest.

Red blood flows from the mouth and chest of the Aero with me or me.

"Kay, kay... what are you doing..."

"Oh, my God, you're a guy who hides evidence. Even if I can think of too much extra stuff, I'm in trouble here. You guys just did what I told you to do, and that's good. Yet... well, the other two don't seem to have to worry about that. One can't see anything, and the other is just stupid. It won't be a problem......"

"Glass and... about Goliath...? Terrible, why are you saying that..."

"Come on, why not? Well, that's enough of you. Bye... Totally, I came here to help, but this is what broken bones are for..."

Phew, the girl sighed, once again passing another, rod-shaped object through Aero's chest, throwing it as she wished on the wall before going up the stairs.

"How could... how could this happen..."

Aero so crushing in a dying state while supporting his body with a wall.

I could hear it climbing the stairs.

Then Aero approaches and touches Zaza, who suffers as much as he does.

"Zaza... I'm sorry..."

So I slowly lowered my eyelids.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

Szón rushes through the battlefield following a young man flying around the sky.

And Lulu and Nina riding on that back.

The former would normally be faster for those flying and those running, but Szón ran at such a rate that he overthrew common sense, and finally reached just below the youth.

"... So, what are you going to do, Lord Lulu?

To Shzon, who asks that way, Lulu laughs,

"We've had enough breaks because of Shzon... here's what we're gonna do"

That's how I answered and jumped off Szón's back.

Szón looked at it and thought it was an operation to stick in with the momentum of the leap, but apparently it wasn't, until he realized that the acceleration was strange even if he stepped off Szón's back.

If it had just jumped, Lulu would have stalled more and more, but the phenomenon happening overhead is the opposite of that.

Lulu's velocity slowly accelerated, and he finally reached just before the young man who was flying, stationary.

Obviously Lulu is also flying.

"I've never seen anyone (human) who used flying magic..."

Szón shook his head, surprised by its out-of-standard nature, but if Lulu had no choice.

The ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon), my lord, also has such a place.

Let it be a demon, let it be a people (human), and I thought this might be what it is to have powerful power.

And what should we do now?

Szón was lost for a moment to see if he should continue to fight Lulu and that young man, or act differently.

But I can't think to Shuzon anymore that Lulu will defeat, and if so, I switch my mind that what I need to do now will be to try to end this battle with as little damage as I can.

Then Szón turned back on his heels as he was, returning inside the battlefield.

"... Kiku!

That was the kind of voice that kept coming out of Szon's back as he ran around cleaning up demons and human shapes.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Well, we finally caught up. Is it time for you to take a look?

When Lulu spoke that way to the young man floating face to face, the young man tilted his neck and said:

"... who the hell are you? You don't look familiar."

I remember Lulu, who said, speaking of which, it could have been the first time I met him.

I decided to name him again.

"I'm Lulu. Lulu-Cadisnora. If it's easy to understand, you're the finals adventurer."

"Ho... I mean, you came to take me down?

Lulu shook his head at the young man laughing with his nose.

"No. I'm here to capture you. You have a lot to ask."

"Capture? Ha. You say something funny. You think a human race will catch me? If it's something I can do, it's something I'll try...... heh!

That said the young man waved his arm.

Then a blade of wind broke out of it and hit Lulu.

"Well, no chant? No... you're not. Magic gear."

Looking at the bracelet worn on the youth's arms, Lulu nods.

"You understand very well, right? But there's no way to do it, is there?

With a delightful grin, the young man manipulates the blade of the wind.

There will be a tremendous number of them and twenty will be beyond.

The amount of magic used by the user will not be half viable either, but I am surprised by the fact that some people can create so much more magic equipment than that.

If the young people are creating it with their own hands, because their technical skills mean that in modern times they are a national class.

It was such a level of magic that I could finally create a collection of pieces of technology from one country.

That would be the confidence of the youth, but it only means enough for Lulu to rely on tools to know the fact that for the first time this much can only be done.

"If you insist, it doesn't matter if you know it or not."

Like throwing up. That said, Lulu activates magic.

It is in the air, far from the earth, and unchanging that those on earth will not be able to hear the conversations and pronouncements made here, etc.

What appeared was a number of blades of dirt to the same extent as those produced by the youth.

"Become...!?

The youth opened their eyes and manipulated their own produced blades of wind in order to cope with the soil blades that struck them, but the blades of soil were faster than the blades of the youth's wind, and the youth were pushed to an intermediate disadvantage.

The task of smashing and destroying the blades of the wind on each and every blade of the earth.

That was a terrible task that would tear me apart at that moment if I misresponded at all.

So the youth didn't notice.

That Lulu was hiding behind a blade of dirt that approached him to his own sight.

"... you're a great enemy."

Lulu laughed at it.

The last time I saw that look, the youth's consciousness was completely pruned.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"... dude, dude, this guy's always blurry... well, okay"

The girl who came out of the Adventurers Union (Guild) was so crushed and staring at the glass crashing across the North Gate.

Then,

"This neighborhood is where I use it..."

In front of the girl who said so, a huge magic formation unfolds.

"... be made, life, crumble by my call, be a new life…" Melting Merge ""

At the same time as he said so, the magic formation in front of the girl glowed, and the area swung, trembling.

The girl who confirmed it laughed all the time,

"... so I'm off. If you're in the mountains... I'll just have a look."

That's what he said and disappeared.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

Lulu watched the glass crash.

There were knights and adventurers on the ground watching the falling glass.

Lulu approached the knights and adventurers to tell them to drop altitude and capture the glass, saying that if left unattended they might stab a stop in the glass.

But even though neither Lulu nor Glass went down to earth, neither the knights nor the adventurers would try to take that gaze out of the sky.

Looking back at what... I could see the sky just around the center of the battlefield stained with disturbing colors.

It gradually changes color, and at the end of the day a huge magic formation appears there.

"... that's..."

Lulu knew what the sight meant.

It is a sorcery that was once commonly used by people (human beings), especially church officials.

Sacrificial witchcraft, which would pay a less praiseworthy cost called, was rarely used by those who liked it, but that is why it works immensely.

The smallest cost is the destruction of some sort of inorganic object… the destruction of demonic stones, jewellery, or magic fixtures, etc., but to that extent no great effect is expected and the original power of sacrificial witchcraft cannot be exerted.

Sacrificial magic most exerts its power because it is when you (...) give your life.

It just activated, which would mean someone paid for it, but who the hell did?

Lulu tilted his neck.

It is such a huge magic formation.

There will be no one or two lives to be paid.

But so many lives here......

When I thought so and looked around, I realized that a young man who should have fallen to the ground and passed out had suddenly suffered.

"Guh, guh, guh!

Screaming like that.

Look, there's something slightly tentacle-like stretching out of the bracelet he's wearing, breaking through his skin and entering that body.

Sacrificial witchcraft cannot be used unless one obtains his or her consent or takes his or her life when paying for it as a cost.

I mean, I guess that's what Lulu intuites that the youth suffered.

Sacrificial witchcraft, although limited by cost, is basically an all-powerful witchcraft that allows for roughly every phenomenon.

Therefore, it was not possible to predict what would happen to Lulu after this either.

While the knights and adventurers gathered around the youth suddenly felt something surprising about the suffering youth, they wondered if they should take that life if something was about to happen.

Put up your weapon and get closer.

But Lulu,

"Hey! That's dangerous! Stay away!"

That's what I shouted.

But the hour is already late.

For a moment, the screams of the youth disappear, while countless tentacles stretch out of his body.

The tentacles pierced the bodies of the knights and adventurers and pulsed as if to steal their sanity from them.

Lulu grabbed the body of whomever he could save and let it go from the spot, but still many lives are taken.

Tentacles stretched from the young man who threw down the remains of the dried warriors, further reaching out their hands.

If I looked around again, I could see the same thing happening all over the battlefield.

Szón is running around saving the knights and adventurers, but he still won't have a choice but to lack his hands.

"... this is not good..."

That's crushing, but time won't go back to normal.

Anyway, we should just knock him out, but the tentacles reach out to the other tentacles.

And they connect, they merge, they come together gradually.

Upon confirmation of its centre, it was apparently around Goliath.

Lulu sees it and runs out.

I thought I had to deal with this before things got any worse.
