179 Episode 72: A Long Night Comes (9)
"Don\'t you still give up?
Lilana asks me that as a pity. Unexpectedly, she\'s about to get blood on her head, but exhales and slashes Lilana\'s arm off with anger.
The arms that danced through the universe still become new chimeras and raise strange screams. Damn, I\'m starting to wonder how it works the other way around!
"Why don\'t you give up?
Surprisingly, Lilana asks me. I silently stab Lilana this time with a magic blade from the front. If you wave through the magic blade that stabbed you in the belly, blood will erupt to determine your belly.
It also unwinds, as I put on reverse regeneration. The dress that is already wrapped around Lilana in the battle with me has become disastrous. Still, that white skin doesn\'t leave a scratch or a stain.
"Why?"
"Because I have no reason to give up!
You\'re getting depressed by the boulder, Lilana\'s hand wraps around her alien nails, grabbing the celestial to try to prevent it. Swing it forced to tear it apart and slap it with each arm.
While there will be more chimeras, we have to set this guy free. Looking sideways, Yuffi is cleaning up the chimera with the spirits rolled out in spiritual manifestations.
It\'s Al and the wolf-eared girl who\'s behind it. Those three are at the centre, supporting the front, and the other knights and adventurers are guarding the shelter doors where the villagers must be evacuating.
No one has given up yet. So I have no reason to give up either.
"And! Don\'t think that\'s it!
invincibly I smiled and showed. Though Lilana was strangely inclined to her neck, she suddenly changed its complexion.
And it was thunder that rang. A low, roaring thunderbolt went toward the giant chimera with the sound of the wind cutting, and it could play with the thunderbolt.
The half-blown chimera slowly collapses as she trembles to cramp.
"Sister Wang! Thanks for waiting!
"Charne!"
Behind the shelter, I guess Charne, who was riding behind an air bike operated by Navre, unleashed a blow from Keravnos. Keep it up. Navre lands the air bike by the shelter.
The knights appear one after the other that I have left behind in an attempt to follow it. And there\'s a shadow that pops out first in it.
"Flamzele!"
That\'s bullshit. Gakun storms into the chimera, wrapped in red lotus flames and heat. Double-cut the head of the impending chimera, and burn and slash the impending nails. Into the pocket of a giant chimeric than myself, poking the flamzele and burning it out of the inside.
Keravnos\' thunder arrows are unleashed to cover such gakun, stopping the movement of the chimeras one after the other.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Get in there and cover Gark and Charne! Against the chimeras, we need those two! Lower the wounded, keep the front line down!
And take command of the knights Navre was taking with him. And the knights, who were evacuating the evacuees a little late, will come back, and this number will increase at once.
"Reinforcements are here! The attack of the Flaming Knight and the Thunder Bowman is apparently effective! Cover them while the wounded step back and take care of the wounds! And the instructions from here... Navre!
It was Al who raised his voice to the returning knights, who were unable to judge the situation. Al-Kun spoke to Navre after instructing him to align himself with Navre\'s command.
Navre, voiced by al-kun, gazes at him as surprised and returns his gaze to al-kun as he seeps through only a little agitation. Al-Kun nods with his gaze straight at Navre.
"Navre, can you ask for command?
"A, Dear Algardo!?"
"You\'ll be the one who knows those two well. I want you to take command."
Navre naturally stood as bewildered by Al\'s sudden instructions. Al-Kun goes on to speak to Navr like that.
- Give me a hand, Navre.
In that one word of Al-Kun, Navr opens his eyes wide, and once he meditates his eyes firmly, he never opens his eyes.
"I am in command of the Knights of Kingsguard and the Magic Institute, Navre Sprout!
"I delegate command to Navre Sprout! Darren asks for Navre\'s assistance! Gentlemen, we are going to raise the wolf smoke of counterattack!!"
After confirming Navre\'s reply, Al-Kun conjures his bleeding into a cane to produce a spear elephant with blood. And jumped straight to the front line.
I also saw the wolf-eared girl rush out as Al made sure she jumped on the chimera and went to poke the spear. I could see Chimera\'s neck being broken in conjunction with the two of them.
"Apparently, if it\'s not normal magic, it works great!
"Al!"
"Acrylic! Fit it!
"Yeah!"
Al-kun is now on the front line in earnest, and Gakun, Al-kun, and three wolf-eared girls will be at the center to wind holes in the crowd of chimeras.
Keravnos of Charne thunderbolts as he widens that hole, where the knight of Yufi\'s manifested flame burns down the chimera.
"Gark, I\'m going in for backup."
"Wow!? What the hell! Knight made of flames!?"
"Is that the spiritual manifestation of Her Majesty the Queen..."
"Seriously! Or was it such a bad substitute, spiritual manifestation?!?"
Yufi, who showed a little tiredness, but still seemed temperamental.
The usual flow that Navre supplements while Gakun reacts somewhere out of his mind by looking at Yufi\'s manifested spirits. I was naturally grinning at the conversation between two reliable people who wouldn\'t change in this situation.
"... What is it, what are you?
For the first time, Lilana showed vigilance. Gakun and Charne are at the end of Lilana\'s gaze. I understand that it must be directed precisely at the weapons that the two of us hold.
It may be due to dyeing magic that attacks by natural demonic stone magic props seem to work better than normal magic. The Demon Stone does not accept magic by another\'s Demon Stone, and its magic rebels against each other.
Perhaps that\'s why the chimeras created from Lylana are particularly vulnerable to the magic created with the effect of demonic stones. Then it is also the right decision that Al-Kun is slaughtered with a weapon made of his own blood. Obviously, the situation is leaning this way.
"I can believe someone who shows me this sight. I can\'t snort that choice into your thoughts because I think it\'s beautiful."
……
"You\'re right, mourning is sad. It\'s painful not to understand each other. I just can\'t bear to imagine the sorrow of separation.... Still, the only time I can share an answer is when I can choose the same answer. So you\'ve always been alone. If you\'re only right about your answers, you\'ll never know who you are."
If you\'re going to live as a vampire, maybe Lilana is right if it\'s the end of the vampire nature, the destination of your wishes. But vampires are the ones born of despair in the first place.
Contraindications were made good to mask that despair. When you choose to feed people to live, people and vampires will never be compatible if you follow their instincts. So no matter how close a vampire is to a person, that classification should be considered a demon.
"... I don\'t know. I don\'t know, I don\'t know! Ah! Well, you did!
……
"You don\'t know!
Gradually, Lilana laughed from the bottom of her heart and told her.
"You don\'t know what real despair is, do you? So you can say you can stand the pain! You can tell someone can\'t help but grieve! But then you can\'t! Then the world can\'t be saved, so! I want you to understand! So if you despair too! Then you\'ll get to know me, won\'t you!
"... how could that happen!
I swing through the celestial to Lilana staring at me with a smile on her face. Lilana slashes and ties with my celestial with her nailed, alien arm.
Now we hang together in the air like we hit each other\'s weapons without worrying if our own nails are shaken and distorted so that we can play at our disposal.
"Because you are such a good man! But you\'re just like me, and you\'re not enough! We don\'t know each other because it\'s not complete! Then we should feel the same way when it\'s complete! So, what\'s not enough for you? That is, I\'m sure, an unbearable degree of despair! Because you don\'t know what we\'ve always held, didn\'t come true, and kept asking for!
"I don\'t even want to know......! That must have been on your own! And my business as a vampire! And fate! And proposition!
"But that\'s great because I believe it! There\'s a complete world where nothing gets mourned, not just to make up for what\'s missing! No grief, no suffering, respect for all values together, joy, praise! But you don\'t know that, because you don\'t know! It\'s okay, because I can tell you everything! There\'s nothing to be afraid of! Because if you\'re one with me, you\'ll see it all in one! I can do it! So take me! Hold me tight, please!
"- I refuse... ugh!
Kick Lilana with all her might as if trying to hug her. There was a flock of chimeras ahead of Lilana being flown.
Lylana slapped beside that herd. A flock of chimeras arrives to be drawn to that Lilana.
"Hey, what...!?"
I can hear the meat. I hear a thousand cuts of meat. There is a sound of meat being mixed. The sound of bones crushing, breaking, connecting, and crushing is repeated in fast feeds.
Soon the chimeras scattered around us were about to gather first. At its heart is Lilana. That\'s the exact opposite of her spreading chimeras around her.
I\'m capturing the chimera here and compressing the existence of myself. It was the only sight I could say so.
"This!
"Let me!
Sharne\'s thunderarrow and Gakun\'s slaughter of flames are slammed into the chimera while many stop their feet in a harsh sight.
I showed no resistance whatsoever to my life being cut off, just that the chimeras were gathering to Lilana, and eventually all the chimeras were swallowed up by Lilana.
At ease, Lilana\'s body swayed. At that next moment, Lilana travels at high speed next to Gakkun, who was waving a flamzele at Lilana.
"Become, fast...!?"
"Gah!
Gakkun shields Flamzele aggressively, but he was blown away by Lilana\'s gentle pushing motion as it was. I don\'t think the momentum just pushed it very hard, Gakkun rolling with enough force to jump the ground over and over again.
"Mr. Gark! Knock...!
Unlike Chimera, Lilana can\'t get her aim right, and furthermore, Lilana travels fast, so she won\'t be able to catch it, although Sharne tries to release lightning arrows in Keravnos while screaming.
The only thing I could catch up to there was the wolf-eared girl that Acrylic and Alkun were calling. Lilana stops biting with her teeth, though she throws a spear blow that can also be taken at divine speed into Lilana.
"- Become...!?"
"Acrylic!"
I shelter Al-Kun by trying to push the girl with the wolf ear in a way that just hands-on.
Alkun blows away, holding the acrylic as it is. I hear bones shaking, and Al collapses so that I can slap him straight into the tree.
"If numbers don\'t make sense, let\'s improve quality. Be sure, one at a time, be polite"
"Stop it!
Anger makes my vision bright red. Leave it to the enthusiasm to be slashed by Lilana at the Celestial. Lilana holds one hand and grabs the Celestial blade. Your fingers fold and bend like your arms have been pushed down. Still, Lilana won\'t let go of the Celestial blade.
"- The most important thing about you is that guy."
Goku. A chill ran through my spine. Lilana wasn\'t looking at me. At the end of that gaze, there was - Uffi.
Lilana flaunts her free hand. The hand turns straight into the head of the snake and stretches toward Uffi.
Uffi also realizes that he is being targeted, or he tries to shield the Spirit aggressively. But the Spirit scatters miserably with a snake bite.
And he opened his mouth again, and saw the serpent about to devour Yufi, and his body was enveloped with so much fierceness that his blood boiled.
"Ahhhhhhh!!"
Magic was applied to the magic blade of the suppressed Celestial and burst at close range. The shock blew me away, too, but the head of the snake, which was after Ufi, cut a thousand times from the roots and fell off track to the ground.
Meanwhile, I was blowing backwards with shock and my consciousness was blinding for a moment with recoil. I don\'t know what it feels like up, down, left, right. Maybe I\'m standing on the ground, or I\'m still floating in the air.
And the first thing my returning sight recognized - Lilana, with both arms blown away, is grinning at me.
No, and she opens her mouth with a tranced grin. The sight looked like slow motion.
"People can be strong because there are those who want to protect them. But I can\'t protect myself because I try to."
"Huh...!
"- That\'s a very painful thing, isn\'t it? But if you were more like me, you\'d understand, too, right?
- Lilana\'s fangs protruded into my neck muscle, along with the pain of breaking through the meat.
The pain awakens my consciousness. That\'s not the level of severe pain anymore. If I did poorly, my consciousness was going to fly, it was a pain like being poured in a scorching fever.
"Ah, ah, ah! but ahhh!!"
I grab Lilana\'s head from my samurai and try to force her to peel it off. But Lylana, eaten on the neck muscle, will not leave.
My consciousness is blurred with pain. Burning fever turns all over my body from the wound and messes my body up from the inside.
"- Anisu!!"
Uffi jumped in there. Force the blade of the arcane shell to stick against Lilana\'s neck and interrupt.
Yufi piercing his neck loosens his strength and leaves his fangs. Kick and peel Lilana\'s belly with all your might for the moment.
Lilana flies away with me kicking her ass. That was the limit. I get on my knees on the ground to fall as-is. You lost your strength, and I let go of the celestial as it was and dropped it.
"Anis......! Anis! Hold on! Anis......!
"... uhhh... uhh"
The consciousness becomes blurred. The fever is spinning in my body. It looks like the back of my eye is turning bright red and my head is pulling over and over.
The voice of Uffi calling me is far away. When I looked up at Uffi with his voice on the marker, Uffi\'s crying face appeared in his eyes.
"Anis... my eyes...!
... eyes? My eyes... what\'s wrong...?
"My eyes, seep red... no, no, no, anise! Stay conscious! Ah! Somebody! Raini, bring Raini! Al! Argh! Anise! Anise!!"
Ufi... what are you talking about... I don\'t know, I\'m not going to stay conscious anymore.
I have to stay awake, though. Terrible, heavy head. My body, it\'s hot. Very, sleepy.
And I... let go of consciousness.
