142 Those who eat light Those who eat light (2/2)
That's very scary.
I'm so scared, I'm so scared.
I'm happy because I've won and I've got Kuna and I've got happiness.
If I hadn't won, not just Kuna, no one would ever look at me.
No one loves a man who can't win. The weak ones get eaten.
And if you lose, you've got to lose everything.
That would be so miserable.
I absolutely did not want to feel that way.
I didn't want to lose my little Kuna when I could have had her!
That's why we have to get the Eclipse.
I'll make the higher spirits my own!
You can't allow Rage to do this and not yourself!
This isn't for Elyos, Gypsiel, or even Syrone.
Most of all, it's for me! Most of all, do yourself a favor!
More than anything else, you have to fight for yourself!
I feel a black fire erupt inside my mind.
'Eclipse! I'm going to eat you: !!!!
He made contact with Eclipse's mind using mental magic, which was not his forte.
And then it was swallowed directly into Eclipse's mouth.
A dark, dark space.
I can feel Eclipse's power trying to eat my spirit.
I can't lose! I'm going to eat you!
Grit your teeth.
Absolutely! Absolutely! I can't lose!
Tona, goddess of knowledge and books
In front of me, Eclipse in the form of a giant dragon swallows Kuroki, who has returned to his dark knight form.
'Hey, Totoona! You've been swallowed up!
Lord Ishtia-sama gives me a panicked voice.
It's not only Ishtia-sama who is panicking.
The black-haired wise man Chiyuki, the prince Harses, and the god of war Isdes are also in a panic.
Nell and the cats next to me are in a panic.
Even the brave men of light are shouting in anger, wondering what they are doing.
Only Raina seems to be calm and collected. But I don't know what's on her mind.
''Gahahahahahaha! You idiot! I'm getting eaten by an Eclipse myself!
The mockery of Zarxis, the god of death.
The serpent queen, Deirdre, is also laughing.
The evil gods are also looking at the sky with a foolish expression.
But I know that the joy will be over soon.
Kuroki will definitely come back.
I have faith in that.
'Hahahaha! The Dark Knight is dead himself! No brave man of light can fight while he's down! You can't win this one! You'll be sorry you didn't give us the goddesses of Elyos!
The Snake Queen's eyes glow.
She's not going to let us go.
But do we really need to escape?
'Queen of snakes! Unlike the brave men of light, the Dark Knight will be back! Don't put me in the company of the brave men of light of Raina! I'm so much stronger than the man Raina loves!
I hear the brave man of light let out a gagging moan when he hears my words.
I'm sorry for him, but it's bad enough that Raina loved him.
Let him get hurt a little.
''Hmmm. What is it Totoona? Aren't you unusual for someone who stays indoors because you're always afraid of me? It sounds like you're trying to pick a fight with me?
Raina looks at me. She seems to be smiling, but I can tell she's very angry.
”I didn't mean to do that. I'm just telling you the truth, unlike the man you love who lost, Kuroki wins.
He says blankly without looking at Raina.
My krokies will win.
He is stronger than Rena's brave men.
When I first met him, Kroki smelled like me.
I talked to him and asked him about his past, and I knew it was true.
One who hides in the shadow of the light.
One who envies the bright light, but cannot be the light.
I think that's what Kuroki and I have in common.
But there was one difference.
I was afraid of being compared to Reena, the light, and so I withdrew from the house, while Kuroki was making an effort to overcome the light.
I was always in Raina's shadow.
From birth, Raina was more beautiful than anyone else and could do anything.
Even as a child, Raina was far superior to me.
We were raised like sisters at the same age and were always the subject of comparison.
Still, if I had been able to get along with Raina, I wouldn't have minded.
But Raina was very mean.
No one would notice because she was good and to the point in front of my mother and other gods, but Raina was very mean.
So I had to withdraw from Raina to get away from her.
Because no matter how you look at it, I'm no match for Raina.
And so I read a book in the dark shadows and was in my own private world.
But Kroki is different.
Even though he knew he couldn't win, he didn't run away from the fight.
And finally, he even beat the shining Alfos.
It's because we fought that we won.
Kroki is dazzling to me.
Kroki is the darkness that shines itself.
There is no way such a Kroki could lose!
'The man you love? I don't know who you're talking about! Tona. There's no way the man I love is going to lose!
Unusually, Raina says something strong.
But those words didn't matter now.
''Hmph! What are you talking about, you abominable goddess! Benne is no longer in full force! If Eclipse gets serious about this, the walls you guys are building will be destroyed in no time! Zarxys! What the hell are you doing, get on with it and knock out Bennu!
Deirdre's angry voice.
Indeed, Eclipse is getting serious.
If Zarxis and Deirdona joined forces, they could destroy the wall we've built.
But that's not going to happen.
''I know! Deirdre! But for the first time in a while, Eclipse doesn't listen to me! Why?!
Zarxys lets out a panicked voice.
Overhead, Eclipse is dancing violently.
But it appears to be suffering.
Suddenly, Eclipse opens its mouth wide and blows black flames into the heavens.
The black flames cover the sky.
''Hey, it's spitting out black flames! What do you mean by that?!
The evil gods start to panic when one of the evil pillars shouts out.
Because everyone can clearly see that Eclipse's condition is wrong.
''There's someone in the black flames!
Another evil god points to the center of the black flame.
Inside that black flame is a dark knight in jet black armor.
Naturally, it's Kuroki.
Spewed out of the Eclipse, Kroki is floating in the sky wearing a black flame.
It was as if he was in control of this dark heaven.
''What?! The Eclipse didn't eat you? Unbelievable! Yeah, it's an Eclipse! Swallow the Dark Knight again!
Zarxys shouts.
But Eclipse does not respond to Zarxys' call.
Eclipse flies around it as if to protect himself from Kroki.
'Silly?! Are you saying you've taken control of the Eclipse?!
Deirdre's distressed cry of disbelief.
Unbelievable would be most of us here.
The one who cannot be eaten with the one who eats the light.
Everyone present is in awe of the fact.
The dark shining Kuroki is floating in the sky with ease.
Its very appearance was the dark sun.
