Chapter 40 (2/2)

“Lenion”

“I can’t laze around forever Soht?”

“Wait a second, Lenion, there’s no reason for a prince to set out yet”

“Aniki, this is war If you want to win, you’ve got to use whatever you’ve got Luckily, 》 is perfect for use in open places like this”

Lenion glanced at the bridge that extended in a straight line

“Also, if they’re justtheht? Well, perhaps the soldiers would be satisfied if they were to die by my attacks”

Looking at his ferocious sht to himself, ‘If his heart was just a little warmer, Lenion would be a better prince than him’

Based on ability, Lenion’s was higher In the Beast- would have been hirettably, his personality was not one that ell liked

He was too militaristic, and he didn’t care for the people He would be a disgrace as a King

“Oy, Old Man, whatcha gonna do? Can I go out?”

Hearing Lenion’s words, Leowald thought for a second

“… Understood But wait for a second”

As he said those words, the soldiers ere observing the bridge raised their voices

“What’s wrong!?”

Leowald shouted out, thinking that perhaps the other side had made some drastic movements

“Ah, no, so from the other side…”

Upon the soldier’s words, everyone redirected their gaze

“What do you …?”

They concentrated their attention on the other side of the bridge And above it, two ite in mid-air

“What… are those…?”

That was the question on everyone’s mind

“What’s going on!?”

Marione’s angry voice cried out The reason for this was that unrest was breaking out a noisy

“Did soay?”

That hat ca care of the monsters to him because he asked Could it be that he lost?

“N-no…”

The soldier’s faces are pale Some of the they couldn’t believe

“All of you! If so happened, explain it!”

“Y-yess!”

Marione’s wrath returned them to their senses They kneeled before him and explained the events that had transpired And upon hearing their words, Marione’s expression gradually stiffened

“What do you mean!?”

“Hii!”

“Why did so like that!?”

“I-I-I Doooooooon’t Know!”

The soldiers desperately responded, but nothing entered Marione’s ears anymore His mind was in disorder from the words he just heard

He turned his eyes to the space above the bridge to confirs there

(W-hat does this mean…?)

He grit his teeth, and he murmured to himself

“Why are those two people here…?”

Both sides had noticed the existence of the two objects They were both enquiring as to what their purpose was The objects floated to the very center of the bridge and stopped

Both of the objects were, as the 『Evila』 side surhly clad in red armor It was Evea pitch black ars from their backs

Both of them turned their eyes to the battle below, between the zoay noticed their presence and was du to defend boldly wandered onto the battlefield

“Fall back, Chugay!”

Evea on His mind could not keep up with the sudden develop of the sort was set to happen, and even though she was accompanied by 《Rank 1》 Aquinus, for the Demon Lord to nonchalantly come out was just reckless

“If you don’t want to get involved in this, step back”

In an indifferent voice, Aquinus spoke, but to Chugay, Aquinus wasn’t his master He didn’t take orders fro 《Rank 1》

So he honestly did his part by defying Aquinus’s orders But seeing his irily shouted at him

“Justyou here!”

“Y-yes!”

Even he couldn’t defy the De’s words If he did, then the responsibility of his actions would fall to Marione But still, this place was left to hi without an explanation

“I’ll leave explanations to later Just get out of here quickly! Also relay et close to here!”

He understood not the intent of Evea out before him He determined that he would have to report it to Marione, so he sprouted wings from his back and departed

“Are you ready, Aquinus?”

“Yeah”

And the tered their backs and drew their swords For so into their wielder’s left are amount of blood flowed The blood dripped steadily towards the ground

“Let ht?”

Aquinus inquired, and while Evea voice

“Yeah, I’ve already decided it”

She lifted up her bloody left aric circle ic circle and dyed it red

Aquinus flew up higher than that circle and held his left aric circle appeared before him The two circles were separated by exactly 30 meters

Aquinus’s blood was also absorbed into his circle, and his circle turned red

All of a sudden, a sound like that of the earth ru sounded out The clear sky suddenly beca across it

In-between the two circles, a black ed around it, as it gradually got larger

And froan to realize exactly for what purpose the two had appeared
