Chapter 26

The Hero and the Separation

I used ic power on a single attack

But Scampelier’s form disappeared

I could not follow such speed So close to the fortress, devils were almost undefeatable existences

But that was difficult to avoid If she could be beaten so easily, the First Expedition Regiment wouldn’t have lost three hundred people on that day

I didn’t knohat she wanted to do; I had no way of predicting her actions

My whole body felt like it had been subed in deep water A chill ran from my feet to my brain

In the next second, there was the possibility of getting killed

Perhaps there wouldn’t even be a second

“It really is nice to see you, Leon”

At soed my neck

…… But I never wanted to see you again

Complex emotions filled my mind, and my awareness became fainter

I wasn’t entering the heartless state, but I could only feel what I should do

I slowly raised my sword

In this state I should use––

The pinnacle of Moon God’s Style

A penetrating sound of shattering air The black sword slashed at air

Fruitless again

Two fair legs squeezed around my neck This time, Scampelier was perched on my head

“Why do you want to attack me? Leon”

Slender fingers lightly caressed my cheek

“Aren’t we of the same type?”

“Yes, I once believed that”

I pried open the two legs around my neck

“Once?”

Like an old friend, Scampelier ruffled my hair

“Scampelier, we, in the end, are different”

I thren the sword and grabbed her legs

Flaic power covered my entire body

Little Miracle was at its liht still fanned these flames

Therewas also the tiny light in my heart

That was also part of my Little Miracle

You and I are different, Scampelier

I have a Venus that guides me forward I will never lose my way

I have things I want to protect, and you do not

In order to protect those things, I destroy You simply exterminate

Thus, I can bring about a miracle, no matter how small

Right at this time, it appeared

The flaainst the dragon,the Disaster of the Three Hundred

If it’s the present me, perhaps I can do it

After the dragon died, rain began to pitter patter

The city floating above wasn’t like a real entity The rain could freely pass through it

“What do you want to do? Leon”

Scampelier looked at me in interest

Is there still a use for questions?

A ring of air pulsed beneath roaned

I gritted my teeth, then looked at Ailee

Ailee, deformed by sobs

Right now, I definitely earing a lonely expression

Goodbye, Ailee

I thrust all of round cracked

The boundary between sky and earth beca rushed by ht

The ground where I had been standing had turned into a fairly large pit

I calmly fleards that blood moon

Bringing Scampelier with me

“As I thought Leon, you still chose to go with me?”

I stepped on to the wall of the fortress, then used Little Miracle to replenish ic power

Then I shot off the wall Not even a crack a

ppeared in the sturdy fortress

Without cushi+on, the force made my ankle bone break

I crossed over the fortress, flying for the horizon

“Leon?”

Muttered Scampelier quietly

I can do it, this altitude

Above the cloud layer, air was scarce and breathing was hard

The city was all in ruins The people were fairly centralized, so e dropped, there wouldn’t be any injuries

“Do you get it, Scampelier?”

I didn’t turn to look at her

“I am a sinner and you are a devil We are not suited to live in this world”

The rushi+ng air blew through my hair

Sca

Fall down

Like a shooting star, fall down!

I grabbed both her legs, ic power flames

I surpassed the cloud layer, the bloody moon, the fortress

I could see the whole city from above

At this

At this o in the air and embrace my Ailee

The h altitude was beautiful for the first time

My body sliced through the air, scorched by the wind resistance

Like I really was burning
