Chapter 15 (2/2)

「Shut his mouth!」

『Mmph!』

He kicked Dios’s face, but he didn’t so much as flinch

Viscount Lichtein draws back, overpowered by the sharp glint in Dios’s eyes

Dios spits out a mass of blood and continues

『The road you will take is gri you! But you absolutely must not stop! Cross over the h with your hty rule!』

「Enough with your useless prattle!」

『Gah!』

Dios is kicked in the shoulder where his arround

After looking down on hination, Viscount Lichtein immediately looks toward the Sixth Imperial Princess

She wasbehind the iron wall

「Wait! Do you not care what happens to this guy?!」

He grabbed Dios’s hair and lifted his face in a panic

But she had disappeared into the shadows of the cliffs and could no longer be seen

『Hehe, that’s too bad Go ahead and kill me already The princess will not become your slave』

「… I see Then I’ll just take her by force I’ll make sure of her downfall」

He slaorously stoain

He continues to relentlessly swing his heel down to let out his frustration at the fact that Dios didn’t so roan

「Hmph, you can watch in silence from the other world as your dear princess is defiled」

Viscount Lichtein cuts off Dios’s head which had co, and tosses it before his subordinate’s feet

「Put it on display Make sure they have a good view of it」

As if he had lost all interest, Viscount Lichtein doesn’t even glance at the head He raised his blood soaked sword and shouted out toward the battlefield

「All troops, attack!」

「Let’s show them e’re made of! Protect the princess at all costs!」

Tris’s angry voice pierces through the cliffs and rings throughout

Without saying a word, the heavy infantry their shi+elds

Without any instructions, the archery unit begins to fire their arrows and take the lives of their enemies

Behind the low

Beside her was Cerberus, lying down quietly

Her eyes are red and swollen with pain

There were no traces of the once vivacious young girl

(Hiro…)

She recalls the young boy with the kind face

It was doubtful that Hiro kne reassuring his existence was on this journey

Thethe situation

The kind hearted young boy who stuck with the

When he said he would fight together with her, she almost embraced him from sheer joy

(… I wish I could have apologized)

She no longer has any will to fight

She can’t bear the thought of anyone else dying

She could count on her fingers the nu personal soldiers who had accompanied her

And even they would likely be annihilated in short time

(Hiro… I’m tired)

She hugs her knees, buries her face between them, and rejects the world

With her tears already dried up, she closes her eyes to fall asleep

Her consciousness begins to fade so much that she doesn’t even care about the tumult of the battlefield

This is why she didn’t notice

—A change had occurred in the raging battle

On the wasteland where sunlight was glaring doithin a cloud of dust of hot air and blood, a mass of a deep darkness swoops down onto the surface of the battlefield like a drop of rain

「That」 which fell fro a distance between both sides

Everyone stops fighting and looks suspiciously at 「that」

His lacquer like and char in the wind

His eyes had a cold truth to theht

The young boy ore clothes that seemed to be an e the enemies

「…」

The young boy lightly swings the silver sword in his hand

A gentle wind slipped through the enemy forces of the dark skinned soldiers

In the blink of an eye, a spray of blood rises froe number of troops

It didn’t take long for it to envelop the entire field

All the soldiers ere bathed in the blood of their comrades looked baffled

Even after seeing their fellow soldiers fall, their thoughts were frozen They couldn’t comprehend what had happened

Why is there blood falling onon here? I don’t understand

Although ti boy was the only exception He slowly began to walk

Without even looking, the young boy swings his sword to the side, and the head of an ene

He twists his body, and using that force, his sword brings down the skulls of two enemy soldiers

Before the blood sprays out, he took one step forward and cut down an enemy He then took another step and slayed three more

He switches his silver sword to his left hand, picks up a spear, and casually throws it

As if shooting through an apple, it effortlessly pierces through the necks of four enemies

He stabs the throat of a bewildered enemy with the sword in his left hand, then cuts off the head of another one next to his his sword

At this point, any human would return to their senses

The enemy troops let out a roar

It was loud enough to bloay the young boy’s body

『Wh-Who are you, bastard?!』

「Sh…!」

The shi+ning blade slices through the air, severing the torso of the ene sound

『Urah!』

「Ah!」

He leaps towards the ene his spear down, and stabbed him with his sword

Using theboys reaps the life of two eneround and leaps into the air

Thump, thump—

A number of javelins were thrown back to the soldiers who threw them

The young boy so of enemies

「Haa!」

He swings his arures

He produces a nu the time to feel pain, the enemies around him all turn into corpses

As if crushi+ng ants, he indifferently and quite effortlessly trampled over the enemy army
