28 Lesson 28: Settlement
One by one, the water-mediated magic played out by Algardo brightens in the light of the moon. It is the anisphere that scatters its brilliance. A magical light filled body in its hands cleaves the darkness at night.
It\'s like the light is dancing and dancing. It even seems as if they are having fun dancing while risking their lives in it. That seems beautiful somewhere, and I can\'t cut it enough to tighten my chest.
Ilia\'s been watching Anisphere\'s back. Just look forward, my back that\'s going to fly away somewhere if I\'m not reaching out. a back that would be gone from sight if someone hadn\'t fastened it.
"... was I just going to follow you"
Anispheric screams had also reached Ilia\'s ears. She always said she didn\'t want to be king. I know the intention. There is also love for Algard, my brother.
But how much was my understanding? Even though I know the ironlessness of the Anisphere, I just seriously see Anisphere facing Algard and confronting him with his life.
Is this the separation between royalty and nobility? Was there something between those two that could still only be held by royalty because they were my sister and brother? My chest was painful if I thought so. I can see that back so far away right now.
"... Dear Uphilia, Miss Raini..."
I shouldn\'t, he said. Ilia shifts her gaze to Ufiria and Raini, who are dedicated to treatment by shaking her neck from left to right.
He places his hand on Raini\'s chest so that Uphilia overlaps his hands and continues to exercise his magic while even sweating. Even though the pale light shines to cover the wound, the wound doesn\'t seem to disappear.
(From the tip of the pour... like the bottom is missing...!
If he was a concurrent wizard, magic was consumed to such an extent that it was not surprising that he was running out of magic. It is only with the qualities of Uphilia that we are still being treated.
But still, it\'s not enough to connect and stop Raini\'s life. There is no way to bury a life that falls, and it has not been a fundamental solution.
Raini\'s breathing is getting smaller and smaller. His eyes, which were closed in agony, open thinly, wandering through the void.
"... Yufi, Leah... Dear..."
"Miss Raini, don\'t talk!
"... did you hear that...?
"... what is it!
Uphilia returns her words in frustration with Raini, who suddenly speaks of the question.
I would like to say that I do not want you to wear out your wasted health. However, it is possible that the person is speaking in an attempt to remain conscious. Then I respond with a loud voice when it is better to call.
"... Dear Algard and Princess Anisphere... I don\'t know, you know..."
"What do you mean, figure it out?
"Me too, because I was a civilian... a nobleman... and it was hard... and I\'m sure those people were... heavier... but like me... you gave up, you couldn\'t..."
Raini mouths her thoughts intermittently, shaking her lips.
Raini had also heard the voices of Anisphere and Algard who had exchanged during the battle. It was empathy and voidness that came to Raini\'s chest when they heard the two words. - And it was a vision.
"I can\'t help myself... I can\'t do anything about it, so give up... but those people... they\'re not... they\'re not, so only in that way... can they scream..."
"... screaming?
"I scream... like I\'m giving you... I think... to me..."
While continuing to treat Raini, Uffi shifts his gaze sideways into the battle between Anisphere and Algard.
I can see Algard waving his arms and trying to create countless blades of water to flex them away like whips, and Anisphere trying to push them forward while pressing and slashing the impending blades of water.
Without roughing up each other\'s voices, they just head straight to overthrow the other. Can you see that sight screaming?
Raini\'s senses were empathetic and hard on Ufiria. I know you\'re in pain. But is that how you behave like a scream? I didn\'t think so very much for Ufilia.
"... if you suffer too much... hands up... I want to... scream... squirm... on the contrary... you can\'t say anything... really... if you suffer... even though you can\'t stand it... you will endure it..."
"Miss Raini......"
"We both... endure too much... we try too hard... but if you don\'t... we\'ll have trouble... because I know..."
Tears creep into Raini\'s eyes. Grab a fist with the help of your body, which should be losing its strength.
"... oh, so,... sorry, sorry...! Please, but... yes, I do..."
"Please? What?
"Blood... dammit, come on... I\'m ready... I\'m ready... I\'m ready...!
Fumi Uphilia realizes. The color of Raini\'s red iris seemed darker. Uphilia is breathtaking in the colours of the person. This is nothing more than the ongoing vampirization of Raini.
"Are you going to be able to? Your demon stone..."
"The Demon Stone... of the Spirit, perverted... now to me... Master Uphilia poured me... I have the power... to use, use this...! Play, let...!
Raini repeats, even as he is interrupted. What did she understand what she glimpsed by approaching the abyss of death? Uphilia doesn\'t know that. But I thought if I needed blood, I couldn\'t let go.
"Then give me my blood"
"Ilia......"
"My end, I\'ll put it on. Miss Raini, do you mind?
"... don\'t worry, I\'m not totally a vampire yet..."
"I don\'t mind. Even if you become a vampire. If you can help the princess with that."
"... eh.... right. … So, Uphilia, Dear"
"... what?
"You... you do what you want to do... come...!
What I want to do.
Yes, Raini told me and Uphilia forgot me. I wonder what I want to do and what I want to do.
Raini lays her hands over Ufiria\'s hand, which was magically continuing to heal. He is gripped with a hand painted with blood, and his hand gets dirty with Raini\'s blood. Still, Raini lifted Ufiria\'s hand away from herself.
"Everyone... clumsy, too... so at least... honestly...! Oh, ho, ho!
"Miss Raini, I\'m coming."
"Yes... muggu!?"
The moment he coughed, Raini\'s hand left Ufiria\'s hand powerless, and Ilaria re-held Raini as she scratched it, blocking its lips with her own lips.
On his lips he sees a chewed wound, from which overflowing blood is poured into Raini. Suddenly Raini moves for a moment with his eyes round, but is suppressed by Ilia to seal his movements.
With his eyes closed, Ilia suppresses Raini without letting go. Every second, two seconds and time goes by, Raini\'s body jumps into small pieces, and her eyes narrow to bitterness open. Pushing Ilia to peel off, Raini turns herself against the bow.
"Heh... heh...!! I want to be there... heh...!!"
The unpleasant sound of meat and meat being forced to connect sounds. The wound that was on Raini\'s chest disappears beautifully and refreshingly, and I see sharp dog teeth that cannot be hidden in Raini\'s rough, exhaling mouth.
"... Is it a success?
"Huh... I want to be, but... oh, really... I was... lying, this... why Master Algard... move... stupid...!? is... come, and no...!!"
"If you\'re all right, you don\'t seem to have a problem."
To Ilia wiping her lips like nothing had happened, Ufiria finally resumed the movement she had stopped.
Even if the wound heals, Raini is about to twist her face in agony to see if it hurts where the wound appeared. Watch Uphilia while Ilia suppresses Raini like that.
"... Dear Uphilia. That\'s not what I\'m saying."
"Huh?"
"... can\'t you please? I don\'t even have the nerve to crack it in that boulder and let it in. I don\'t even have words to follow. Besides, I can\'t leave Miss Raini. That\'s how the princess ordered it. If that\'s what I can do, then I can do it."
"... I am"
"When Miss Raini lived, she fulfilled that promise. Protect it and I\'ll do what I have to do. … What do you want to do? Dear Uphilia,"
If Ilia asks me, I can\'t find an answer. I can\'t even think of any words to follow from there.
At that time, something disgusting sounded and took my gaze away. It was such an inorganic sound, like something smashed.
Ahead of Uphilia\'s gaze, there lay the remains of a crushed Mana Blade in space, away from Anisphere\'s hands.
"Huh...!
He\'ll do it! I can\'t believe Mana Blade took one!
The blade of water that swells around Al-Kun flexes like a whip. The number is four, which at first glance looks just water but weighs less than usual. He was well poked at the point that he was vulnerable to physical shocks, a weakness of Mana Blade. But it still doesn\'t count to be crushed......!
"Ha ha! Ha ha ha!! crushed! It\'s crushed!!"
Look at that. Al is laughing. Wow, I\'m so sorry. Al, I\'ve been up to my magic arm all at once in this short time. No, you\'re not. It\'s refining what was there. They don\'t use magic in the form of magic anymore.
He\'s switching to a physical subject to suit me. Actually, this is hard. Al Kun\'s water is heavy. It\'s too much of a burden to beat it off. But all my methods of attack are melee attacks. When I can seal this, I don\'t have the next hand.
All that\'s left is Mana Blade, who uses the overedge to stay anxious. This could crush the meeting as soon as possible. I can\'t use it for an attacker ahead of me from here.
"When they use magic on boulders, it\'s tight...! I mean, if you can handle it so well, go ahead and eat it!
"If it wasn\'t for Uphilia next door, that could have been possible too!
... Was there me compared as a royalty and Uphilia compared as a wizard?
Yeah, I already said I didn\'t have the specifications to see someone anywhere I stood.
"It doesn\'t make any sense now that I realize it."
"Not at all......!
"I wish I could have you like this!!"
Dodge the approaching water blade as it kicks the ground. I don\'t have the means to intercept it, so I even dodge it thoroughly and run around Al Kun\'s perimeter to see it, but I\'m coming after it.
"I don\'t know what I would have said if it weren\'t for the magic props! Let me see it, sister! If you still have your hands! If you don\'t see it, if you don\'t try to get over it, it doesn\'t make sense!!"
"... you said that. I don\'t know anymore."
Concentrate your magic around your body on your back engraving. Your body\'s fever keeps rising and your heartbeat is engraved as if you had another heart on your back.
- Wake up.
Wake up the "curse". What I imagine is magic to fire iron, like will to pull the trigger.
Moments, my body is attacked by the illusion as if it were boiling. Never really boiling, rather it is the soul that is burned with heat to the point of boiling. The illusion is created by the magic spitting out of its soul all over its body.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"
Raise your voice to squeeze. There\'s a voice in the back of my brain. A hissing creeping into your ears begins to sound like it penetrates your cerebral cord.
Look, if you want to eat, eat. It\'s nothing anymore, it\'s not me. Part of me. Eat as much as you like, and ramble as much as you like. And the resounding sounds create magic that cannot be embodied in people.
- "The fictional Dragon Devil\'s Heart (Dragon Heart)." The back hand that evokes the curse engraved on this body through engraving and refluxes the "Dragon Magic" that generated it to me.
Bring my magic into the water and let the magic pass through my body that is not my own. Originally inexhaustible, but "cursed" by the dragon. The real thing that the body takes, my only back hand.
My body is degenerate filled with dragon magic. If you can\'t fit in people, you can change. That\'s what they wanted, so it\'s inevitable.
I am a dragon, be a dragon in the shape of a person. Much like vampirization, but different. If you say that\'s a transformation or a mutation, this one\'s a perversion. So the dragon\'s magic can only be used "without taming the body". Otherwise, the dragon could really drink it.
"Even if you die, don\'t resent me!!"
My tongue doesn\'t turn oddly. The intoxication is as if you drank a glass of fire alcohol. Still, I don\'t just let go of consciousness.
Kick the ground with momentum and jump into Al Kun\'s nostalgia. at a rate that does not even react the water blade. The sound of the wind passing by and the body reaching your ears more than that. The bones, the muscles, the sound of my soul burning.
A blow that changes all of that heat to power can be a special hit.
"Gu, ha!?"
"Oh man!!"
Strike the clenched fist with all your strength into al-kun. Every time I crushed something, or I felt like I crushed it.
Still, I won\'t stop. Crush, crush, crush. flesh, mind, even myself.
Break it, break it, break it, still disconnect it.
(How many seconds to keep...!? out of time, before... crush...!!)
I can\'t give you more magic. Even if my own magic is blocked, the dragon\'s magic remains in my body.
If I can spit this out, I have no aftermath. So I have to make up my mind here. I can\'t help it. - Even if that kills al-kun.
"Now you are! Over y!!"
Grab Al-kun with one hand and pull his fist so he can squeeze his bow. Twist your body, feet to hips, shoulders to arms as you go. Al-Kun and I met each other in an attempt to tap our fists into Al-Kun using the power of our whole body.
Oh, there\'s nothing I can do. He looked like he\'d given up like that, but relieved. Oh, don\'t kill me with this. Some sober thought proves that definition. Al will be crushed and killed by me here...
- And it wasn\'t the feel of soft meat that I hit, it was the feel of hard iron.
Al is blown away by the impact of the beating. And likewise, "Someone who broke in between Al and me rolls." Around the universe, what pierced the earth was familiar.
Not only did he say he had served, but it was Uffi\'s arcane shell that broke from half and fell to the ground. And it was Ufi who entered between Al Kun and me, and she gets up with her limbs on the ground, shaking her whole body.
"... so"
At first with a small voice. But I raise my face firmly and stare at this one with my eyes moistened with tears.
"It\'s a fight! What are you going to do when you kill me? We are both big idiots!! If no one is going to stop me, I\'ll have to!!"
"... Yu, Phi"
He cracked me in, to take a blow that would have killed me instantly if it had hit me. Even the arcane shell in the corner was crushed, and the other person, even if he was a former fiancé who scorned himself, put himself up and saved his life.
Dragon magic falls out of the body, fatigue and intense pain strike the body. Continue to stand with your teeth bitten hard in the face of wanting to fall as-is.
Blown up, Al has no sign of moving with his body spread out over the big letters. Towards Al Kun like that, I go close to dragging my feet.
"... pissed off, I got it"
When I speak, I turn to me the gaze that was pointing at the sky. From the edge of his mouth, Alkun was vomiting blood, and there seemed to be no standing force left of what his fingers would occasionally pick and move.
"... that\'s totally unusual. There is no hand or foot in the seriousness of those who wanted to cross, and lives are saved by the woman who should have abandoned them. It\'s a good place to be funny."
"... better dead?
Al smiled lightly at my inquiry. It\'s like a transparent, disappearing look.
"-... I\'ve always wished I hadn\'t been born"
"-... so-so"
Just speak up and the pain runs on your body. Still, I didn\'t want to stop talking to Al.
"... Al. I hate to compliment you, but I did everything I could."
"... ah"
"It hurts so much, this..."
"It hurt me too..."
"That hurts..."
"That hurts."
"But I won. Look. Like I said, right?
".................. Ah"
Al puts his hands crossed so as to block his gaze. Bite your teeth off and your teeth just crumble.
"Huh, huh, huh, huh - huh!!"
The cry echoes. Makes you feel desperate, sounds like that.
Al can\'t beat me after all. I never would have been the winner I wanted.
If it\'s the same mound, you\'ll never lose. I just tapped that fact.
Scream, scream, just scream, keep screaming... slowly Al\'s voice goes down.
"... sister"
"... hey"
"Regret......!
"Oh well."
"It\'s hard to be who you want to be...!
"Right..."
We were never going to be who we really wanted to be.
There\'s nothing we can do about it, because we\'ve become "inhumane."
Then there was no word between us. Instead, Ufi walks over to me and Al.
"... Ufi"
I needed to say something, and I tried to open my mouth - my fist flew in. I felt my feet off the ground in the impact of a fist slipping into my cheek.
As it was, I was rolled next to Al. Honestly, the moment I was beaten I didn\'t know what had happened, I could only blink my eyes black and white.
"... Hey, Uphilia, what?"
"... this is! The minute this fight made me worry, the minute my engagement was broken on its own, Yikes!!"
"Guhhhh!?"
That, Al is getting beat up too!? His fist grabbed up his chest and pierced Al\'s cheek, and Al is rolled to the ground again. Standing up, Yufi is breathing on her shoulders and still looking down at us.
"This is what I want to do!
"What do you want to do...?
"It\'s both a fight and a defeat! If it\'s anything, fight with me too! Hit me if you want! If you don\'t, if you say you can\'t exchange words, do so! From now on, more than ever, because now I wish I had!
Trembling in tears, Yufi told us so firmly. I was just distracted and pointed my gaze at Al.
Al is more surprised than I am, he was just staring at Yufi. Then he narrows his eyes so that the gold tie is broken, and closes his eyes to divert his gaze from Uffi.
"... if you knew you were a lady who could make a fist out of a fight... you might have."
"... what about that, Al?"
- Oh, you\'re done.
That\'s it, our fight is over. It was a fight that really didn\'t do any good. Mana Blade will be broken, and my body will be worn out with my wife\'s hands. My head hurts when I think about what\'s going to happen.
But both fights succeed and lose? Oh, if it\'s been a success or failure... it\'s over now. I felt powerless to think so, and I exhaled deeply.
