Chapter 54 (2/2)

The roup in unison

However――――――

“It’s useless”

In the order they approached them, they became encased in ice, cut down and torn and sliced by the wind

“G- Go!”

Melua juht out an order to attack them

At that time the monsters were already annihilated and only corpses rolled on the ground

“A vain struggle is it……”

Glain’s sword ran and with a single sweep he ic soldier

The weapon which was bisected fro became unable to move anymore on top of the monster corpses

“This isn’t supposed to……I still……”

“I don’t know your circumstances, but……I will have you defeated here”

Glain closed his distance to Melua and swung down his sword

Just before his sword cut her in two, Alize thrusted herself in between them

“Alize-!”

Unintentionally, Glain stopped his sword

He received a flashback on the days he spent with her and Setsu and hesitated

“Kuh……Back off!”

Pulling back his sword, Glain drove a kick into her

However, the decisive tiiven to his opponent

The last ic soldier who furthermore had thrusted itself before Alize had received the kick with its body as if covering for her

The ar of dense flesh to him

“I knew it……its inside was a person……”

The feeling at the tianic substance, but no doubt that of cutting a person

He couldn’t hold that confidence――――――no, he didn’t wanted to hold that confidence, but this e

And so, the truth rose even more with the fact heof flesh

These ht for the human side like Alize and were imprisoned inside such dolls

The ic soldiers he had seen until now had identical sizes, but Glain predicted ordinary demons were inside and perhaps there may be children in there

Anger welled up

However, those thinking time was fatal

“Glain!”

“Gh!”

Alize readied her rapier

Glain recalled her rapier

recalled her rapier was quite polished

He noticed Elka’s voice, but his defense won’t reach in time

“Yes!”

Melua raised her voice

She unintentionally clutched her fist, that was how perfect the ti of Alize’s thrust was

His chest was pierced by the rapier――――――the round

“Elka!”

“Please don’t get careless! ……gh”

Elka thrusted away Glain by a hair’s breadth and defended against the piercing sword

Instead the rapier’s point grazed her shoulder, flesh was gouged out and blood came out

“Forgive me! How about your wound!?”

“It’s just a scratch, so I’m fine More importantly……”

“Ah……Ahahahahahahahahahaha! Ahahahahahaha!”

Melua was laughing

A laugh that was like it was letting one feel fear, like she went mad

Alize who ic soldier who could not h it should have been hopeless no

Laughing, as if she was convinced of her victory

“Is there anything strange?”

“Aah, I laughed and laughed……Nono, I think I even saw a chance of victory with this If I could wish for it, I would have wanted to put it a little h……”

“What in the world are you――――――”

“<ic=””>―――――――――

!”

“W-!? Unique ic!?”

Glain iuard

It is because he noticed the ic

Unique ic in this world that isn’t possessed by anyone but one person, and there are terribly powerful ones as well

For that reason he was being cautious, but nothing happened with Melua pushi+ng out one of her hands

Then, is it a bluff……Glain thought and he ended up feeling let down

To put in other words――――――he lost focus

“Glain! Beside you!”

“Gh!?”

Tia as behind him called out

The next le cut entered that body of his

And then bright red blood gushed out……

Without knohat happened, Glain saw Elka swinging her sword at him

“Now! It’s time for the end of the play!”

Together with Melua’s voice, Elka once again held her sword overhead――――――

――――――and swung down on Glain as on his knees
