27 Those who pay the darkness and those who illuminate the light (2/2)

'Probably a pervert who was looking for ......, he's ......'

I suppose. There are people from other worlds in this country now besides us.

That power you showed us underground. If he's that pervert, it's understandable.

I don't know why he's hiding. Is there a reason for this?

And he's downstairs fighting one of them. That masked man is dangerous, and he'll have help.

So I go back the way I came.

”Oh, there's a light at ......

I hear Reno's voice from behind me.

At his voice I look up at the sky. The sun of Rage, which was only vaguely visible in the black fog, is fully revealed and illuminates us.

I look around and see that the black fog is disappearing.

Did he do something underground?

That's all I can think of.

'You do it, pervert: ......'

Rember, Knight of the Kingdom of Rox

Dear Rage: ”Dear Rage: ......

Alumina, who is lying down just like me, is watching the battle between the brave and Orr.

Alumina's face looks tight.

I probably look like I'm about to die too.

The brave man is also slow to move.

He is barely able to duck the attacks of Orua and Lucullus.

''Hmph! As expected of a brave man. I didn't know you could cast a mad warrior's spell on these guys and still be able to fight them more than evenly.

Unlike the first time we fought, Lucullus looks strange. He looks like a wild animal.

I'm sure you're right. You're also a bit of a pain in the ass behind the scenes. I suggest you come out and fight.

The brave man laughs and says. On the surface, it looks like there's plenty of room, but he's clearly being pushed.

Orua is using Lucullus and the others as a shield, using magic from behind to torment the brave man.

'No one fights properly. I've been studying you carefully. You are strong, but the only offensive magic you can use is the light attribute. I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world. But even so, that combat power is not expected.

Orua sneered at the brave man.

'You bothered to look it up, that's a lot of work for that guy.

You can afford it. But what can you do now?

If I can't do it, my woman will!

The brave man says with a laugh. He seems convinced of something.

'Hmm, that's ridiculous ....... Go you guys!

Orr orders Lucullus and his friends to challenge the heroes.

The battle between the heroes and Lucullus and his friends begins. Orua attacks the heroes with magic, while Lucullus and his friends shadow them. The battle between the two begins again.

I can only watch it.

With time, the heroes seem to be pushed back.

However, the brave still managed to fight.

I wonder how many minutes later the balance was broken.

Several temple knights who were fighting with Lucullus were suddenly blown away.

And the next blow knocked down all of Lucullus and the others by the brave man's attack.

''What?!　That's ridiculous!

Orr's astonished voice.

Of course. I should have pushed it, but it was pushed back.

'What the hell is ......?'

Orr's stunned voice.

'The black fog is ......'

Alumina mutters.

Alumina's expression, which had looked tight, has returned.

When I look, the black fog that filled the room disappears.

''This is ridiculous!　What happened!

Orr's angry voice.

'Of course!　Chiyuki and the others did something!　All of my women are good at what they do!

The brave man laughs.

Orr looks around incredulously.

'That's ridiculous ....... Zal...... Ki......-sama is ...... a lie. ......

Orua shakes her head in disbelief.

''Rage-senpai!

Mr. Ray!

A voice calls the name of a brave man from afar.

This voice is the voice of a female companion of the brave.

'A reversal of fortune.

The brave man laughs and says.

'd*mn it ......!

Orr grunts in frustration.

'It's not over yet ....... It's not over yet, .......'

Orr pulls the bottle out of his pocket as he backs away.

'I didn't want to use this one. I can't go back to the way I was if I use this. ......

'I got my powers back. I don't know what you're trying to do, but you've lost!

The brave man points his sword at them.

'Not so fast going! Feather Arrow!

A number of feathered arrows were sent flying from Orr. But the target was not the brave man.

The feathers and arrows come towards Alumina.

''Oops!

However, the brave man's quick movements cause all the feathers to fall off.

In the meantime, Orr takes a potion.

As he takes the potion, Orua's body takes on the form of a bird from the neck down, revealing the true nature of Striges. And Orua's body begins to swell rapidly.

''Guaaaaaah!

Orr shouts and disappears through the ceiling and into the sky.

'Are you alright, Alumina?'

The brave man smiled at Alumina without regard to Orr.

Already, Alumina had recovered and was able to stand up.

''Rage-sama!

Alumina hugs the hero.

'Rage-sama ...... demons ......'

'It's okay, Alumina. I don't know what you're trying to do, but you're no longer my enemy.

The brave man's hand goes around Alumina's back.

'Ray-kun!

'Rage-senpai!

A voice comes from behind the brave man.

Before I knew it, the brave's companions had reached them; the two of them look unhappy to see the brave and Alumina in an embrace.

'Sahoko, Reno. I'm going after the demon. Take care of Alumina, man!

Saying that, the brave man leaves Alumina and flies out of the ceiling that Orua broke through and into the sky.

''Hey Rage-senpai!

”Oh, Ray, you're killing me. ......

They look up at the sky and complain.

'Ugh. ......'

I moan.

They recognize the voice and look at me.

'Huh. Sahoko-san, this guy's hurt, isn't he?

'This man ...... is Lord Lember, I think it's Lord Lember, isn't it? Are you okay?

Finally, they noticed. Clearly, it's not okay.

I think I was forgotten by the brave men and Alumina earlier as well. Honestly, I feel like I'm going to die.

The white saint casts a healing spell.

The pain disappears from my body.

The only thing that seemed to save her life was her life.

The black-haired wise man Chiyuki.

Are you okay, Nao-san?

I asked and Nao nodded.

The black fog cleared and Nao woke up.

Sahoko's magic helped her recover to some extent, but it still looked tight.

Sahoko and Reno had us go to the royal palace, where the battle still seemed to be going on.

Then Nao and I are at the entrance of the underground passage.

That's what greets him. Perhaps he fought off the masked man.

Nao and I want to thank him for his help, and we are waiting for him.

I actually thought about going into the basement, but I couldn't take Nao, who wasn't recovering, and I couldn't leave him alone.

Of course, if it takes too long, I'll go into the basement.

'Chiyuki-san: ......'

Nao calls me.

I look to the side and see Nao looking up at the sky.

You can see a bird flying ahead of Nao as she looks up.

'Is that a bird?　No, that was Striges ......?

The reason I wasn't sure is that I think it's big for a strigeth bird.

And the Striges-like bird seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

'Whatever: ......'

Nao mutters.

Me and Nao's eyes are glued to the sky.

The body of what looks like Striges soars into the sky, growing larger and larger, finally as big as this country.

And it looks nothing like Striges. It had the face of a lion-like beast and the body of a bird.

'That's not a demon bird that lives in the western desert: ......

I have seen the demon birds that fly in the sky of this country in books. The wind of the demon bird, which lives in the western desert, brings misfortune.

The demon bird's huge body hides the sun of rage and casts a shadow over this country.

Gueye: ”Gueye ！！！！！

With the demon bird's roar, its wings flap and a breeze arises. The buildings around it creak with the wind.

''It's not safe to go on like this. ......

I try to fly with my flying magic.

''Ah, Rage-senpai!

Nao points to it.

A single figure clad in light comes out from where the demon bird came out. There is no way to be wrong this time. The person who came out was Rage.

The Rage that confronts the demon bird.

The rage confronts the demon bird.

The demon bird shouts. Its voice is loud and resounding.

The dark emotions in his voice will terrify the people of this country.

''As long as I'm here!　I'm not going to let you do that---!

Now Rage shouts. Rage's voice sounds so good. I've heard him sing before and he was really good.

'Kore demo eatery ----!!!!

When the demon bird flapped its wings, its feathers turned into giant arrows and attacked Rage.

''That thing won't work---!

Many balls of light float around Rage.

Those balls of light shoot down giant feathered arrows that fly. It's Rage's magic, a thousand rows of light bullets.

''Now it's our turn!

Rage shouted and a huge magic circle appeared in front of Rage.

'That's ......,'

I mutter to myself. The magic Rage is about to use is the Divine Light Cannon, a magic that even the gods of Elyos can only be used by the divine King Odis. The first time Rage used that magic, Raina was surprised and explained it to me.

''Let's go ----!

Light flooded out of Rage's magic circle and swallowed the demon bird.

''Gueye--'' ---------!!!!!

The demon bird's decapitated roar. I can see the body of the demon bird disappearing in the light.

The light that blotted out the demon bird makes the dark night sky shine far away as it is.

After the demon bird disappeared, only Rage and Rage's sun was left in the sky.

A silence envelops the area. And after a while, a loud cheer rises.

There is no one around me or Nao, but their joyful voices can be heard so far.

Some of those cheers included praise for Rage, and those voices seemed to ring out across the country.
