「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
