179 178. The boy has melted into the darkness of twenty layers. But you came to shine the light..txt (1/2)

Pop, ”Ixwine!

Hailey leaps as the magic wind blows and flaps her wings.

Even though she was beyond sluggish and had lost half her life, her movements were sharp. Perhaps thanks to the benefit of wind magic, she was comparable to me if only for her speed. In the air, he pulled out his sword from his 'possession' and swung it down with great vigor.

''Tch!''

In contrast, Palinclone's expression is not good.

The black blade has been able to intercept it without any problems. I've also succeeded in attaching the black liquid with my counterattack. However, it was clear that he wasn't able to focus on the fight.

''Ze awaind!

The wind is unleashed like a cannonball.

It's a magic that engulfs everything it touches. Looking at the wind, Palinclone noticed the abnormality.

Haili's magic was abnormal.

She has been dissolved a level, and the body of the 'Magic Stone Human (Jewelculus)' has also been dissolved. The field was on Palinkron's side, and normally, she would not be able to build magic. However, the magic she is using now is not weakening, but rather increasing in strength.

Palinkron sensed the true nature of this abnormality.

''This magic power!　You're robbing the ”World Inquisitorial Squad”!　How did you manage to pry it off, you idiot!

That was pointed out to me and I used 'Dimension' to check the flow of magic power.

Heili wasn't using the magic power inside her body.

She draws magic power from the earth's ”magic stone line” and converts it into magic. Without a doubt, she has the 'World Consecration Squad' on her side.

Palinclone narrows her eyes sharply. And by concentrating on the movement of magic power, he hit the means by which Hailey had made the 'World Consecration Formation' an ally.

''--!　You couldn't go 'in' in the flesh, so you had to melt your body to get in!　But where did the knowledge of the 'World Inquisitorial Squad' come from--, duh!

Apparently, the means of doing so were worthy of astonishment, even for that palinclone.

However, there was no time to be surprised.

Hailey's wind magic, which was rich in magic power, was constantly blowing around. Not only is it rich in magic power, but it also uses magic tools, so its magic construction speed is also extraordinary.

Countless winds are attacking Palinclone like a weasel.

''You won't be able to beat me if you only look aside!　Look at me!　Look at me!　Isn't he a brilliant actor!

You always have to dress up for the occasion, don't you?　You only have to worry about your health!　Why don't you realize that it's unseemly to the contrary!

Palinclone also unleashed a large amount of dark magic, and a magical barrage battle spread across the battlefield.

The battle was beautiful to watch.

However, everyone here knows that that beautiful magical battle will not last long.

Haili's body can't hold out any longer--

No matter how many levels and magic power you have, the limit will always come.

Visibly, their status is being whittled away, their bodies are melting and their lives are being cut away.

Still, Hailey walks forward.

In contrast to Palinclone, who stops and says back, Heili pushes forward as if she is about to fall over.

''-- I am me!　No one or him in me has anything to do with it all!　If you're not confident in the name 'Hailey' then don't get hung up on it!　Just me and me only, all I had to do was scream!

Haili's argument continues.

Carving out the battlefield of the barrage, bit by bit, and moving forward.

Perhaps it was because of the black color of Palinclone's magic, but it looked like a figure cutting through the darkness of the abyss. Even if it was in the midst of any despair, it was a way of fighting that he decided to fall forward.

That hateful Palinclone's smile was drawn down. Instead, Hailey's face was bright.

The edges of her mouth hung up and she was burning with life. Exactly as she was now, she was glowing.

Little by little, the distance between them is closing.

Then, after an indeterminate amount of time, whether it was long or short, they were finally within reach of the sword.

'Palinclone!　They're here!

The silver girl's sword, cutting through the darkness, reaches the man who has lost his human form.

The sword strike was instantaneous. Only a few rounds of Palinkron's black blade and the girl's sword met, but the decision was made before he could catch his breath.

--The piercing blade.

Haili's sword pierced Palinkron's chest with precision.

But at the same time, Palinclone's blade also pierced Hyli's chest.

Neither one of them bled.

Palinclone's body is liquid. Hailey's body was also melted by the ”World Consecration Squad” and was no longer decent. Neither of them can face death as a human being anymore.

Nevertheless, Heili understood the resolution and voluntarily let go of his sword.

Even before they fought, Hailey's defeat and death had been decided. It was just that the time had come. Or so it seemed.

Hailey stroked Palinclone's cheek with the hand that had abandoned the sword.

'I will tell you until I die. I am me. So, you - you are you, just as I am me. You can scream that you're not a Legacy, just as I'm not a Hyne. ......

At his straightforward words, Palinkron looked away.

He pulled out the black blade of his arm and retreated. As if to escape.

Hyli waves his hand and looks away from Palinkron.

'When I was a child, you were a 'prodigy' and you were my admiration ....... Will you show me again what you were like back then ......?

The two of them moving away from each other.

Palinclone shuddered as he saw the magic of Hyli on his own hands.

It reminds me of the day of the Nativity. The Palinclone of that day was also upset when he saw the blood on his own sword.

Palinclone retreated and muttered as if to curse the way the world works.

''See, look ....... After all, no matter how many times you come back to life, Helvirshine will choose the same way to die, ......?　That's why I kept you away ......, oh why, ....... Why, d*mn it, ......!

Palinclone, who should have won the battle, stumbles. Then he turns over.

Palinkulon can no longer look directly at Hailey's shining figure in this hellish battlefield.

Heili smiles as he witnesses the figure.

Then she turns her dying body and faces us.

Realizing that the battle is over, Ryner and I run to Heili.

'Heili!　Enough!　I can't--

I ran up to him and held Heili's body in my arms.

'...... I made you take your time. Now it's your turn to be the two of you.

Without looking at his own body, Heili was worried about us fighting next.

'Ka, recover!　Reiner, by your sacred magic!

But Ryner, next to me, shakes his head.

He knows he can't save himself anymore. I know it too. No, everyone here knows. She's not going to make it.

So, Heili begins her will.

She turns her body into light, mingles with the world.

'I no longer have anything on my mind ......, but I have one last thing to tell Kanami-kun: ......

You want me to go to ......?

Hailey says a few words to me, not to Ryner, with whom I have a close relationship.

No, maybe she had already said goodbye to Ryner. Ryner and the others seemed to be like that from the moment they showed up here.

''Alright, Kanami-kun. All that's left is to move on without fear. --Use all your skills (・・・・・・・) (・・・・・・・).

And then you say something horrible.

The use of all skills - that's absolutely impossible for me right now.

I'm not going to be able to get it right now. If you use the ”?”, you might lose the will to fight that you had just returned to. If you use the Parallel Thinking skill, you might be stuck in despair. Even if you want to use the ”Sensitivity” skill, you can't.

Heili continues to talk to me in my confusion.

It's okay. By being swallowed up by the 'World Devotional Squad', I was finally able to obtain the memories of 'her'. I knew it (...), I was wrong ......!　You're not a 'magic stone man (Jewelcrus)' ......!

Not Jewelculus?

It was Heili who said that I was a 'Jewish Stone Man' (Jewelculus). I didn't understand why the person in question denied it.

However, I could see that she was convinced. She confidently continued with her will.

'Finally, the pieces are all in place here. ...... Kanami-kun. I'm so proud of you for enduring so far. I'm proud of you for getting this far. I feel doomed that your vessel has not yet been broken.

Yeah, what does that mean: ......?

Kanami--did you ever call me that?

Hey, you want me to come over?　Who?

I can't keep up with Hailey, who is the only one running through life.

'Did you call 'her' just to look for it?　All along, you only tried to return to your original world and never asked 'her' for help. There was a good chance she would follow you and come to our world. If ”she” is coming here, she will surely answer your voice. Now ”I” can understand. It's because of 'I' that I understand (・・・・・・・・・・).

After hearing that much, I finally know that he is talking about 'Aikawa Yotaki'.

Heili is saying 'call' instead of 'find' Yotaki.

'All you have to do is call him ....... That's all you need to do to find Kanami-kun's sister: ....... You don't need a palinclone ....... Parents and siblings have always been connected to each other. Not with 'contracts' or 'blood' - but with 'love'. And I know that more deeply than anyone else.

She stroked my cheek, just as she had stroked Palinkron's.

Her hand was as gentle as her brother's and as warm as her sister's.

With that, Hailey pulled away from me for the last time.

'I'm leaving here, but I'll be watching the whole time.' --in him.

As if retreating from the stage to the audience, Heili moves away.

Then she walks right up to Ryner, where she finally falls down and puts her hands on the ground.

I'm at the end of my rope. If you look closely, your legs have melted down. My hands on the ground are also on the verge of disappearing.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

Holding up that unreliable girl's body, Ryner spilled out a tiny little voice.

''I knew you were .......''

No more than that, Rainer. As promised, please.

Hailey leaned over and held up her index finger to Ryner's mouth.

Still, Ryner speaks without any regard for him.

''Let me tell you something, I will kill Palinkron. Even more so now. I'm not going to do your will.

No problem. You can do what you want. I just wanted to help the three of you who were the least of my worries.
