Vol 3 Chapter 5 (2/2)
”Your Majesty!”
”But there shouldn't be a proble of this city even if I'm not around It's like it doesn'tdoesn't really need me”
”Please don't be willful Perhaps there really won't be a problem when Your Majesty's not around, as there's the Parliae it But this is an issue of responsibility”
”If you need a symbol, then all you need is this child here If it's about the public, then Kanaris, you're enough Why don't you just beco I can't coht have a second or a third Layfon”
”That child didn't go on a rae because of that”
”Even so, look at Savaris Doesn't that say there's a need for Your Majesty's pressure to e them?”
”Ha~~ Ah~~ Geez”
She looked at Leerin as if running away frohed
”You're also a Heaven's Blade successor Aren't you being too serious?”
”I'm very tired because of a certain someone,” Kanaris said
”Well, that's harsh”
”Whatever it is, hurry up, toss away this alias and return,” Kanaris frowned and left
”Really” Synola made a face ”Even if you tell me to return”
She lifted Leerin
”My existence is less if not all twelve Heaven's Blades are here”
She suddenly recalled Savaris' words ”A Heaven's Blade is born to be a Heaven's BladeThen Layfon isn't my Heaven's Blade? Perhaps” she shook her head, disbelieving the ridiculous thought
”It's useless to consider what has been lost,” Synola carried Leerin and left through the hole in the ith Grendan
◇
Savaris leaped fros to run in the ht Gahard followed hi scenery
”If you were that good when you were still alive, I would've taken care of you ly and leaped to stand on a place that was higher than the tallest building in Grendan
In mid-air
Gahard siht? Come up,” Savaris nodded in content on Lintence-san's steel threads They're as thin as spider threads, but they don't break easily, so don't worry But if you lose balance, your weight will drag you down and you ht be split in half on a steel thread, so your feetIf you do that, Lintence-san will gather all the steel threads and cut you into pieces Aside from that, we've decided to hold your burial ceremony at the Luckens' family home,” Savaris explained with a smile ”I think you understand me, don't you? I'll be happier if you can say my name Either way, you're h I didn't look after you much, you have in turn looked after , but I still want you to call me by my name”
”Have you recalled my name? What a shame Looks like you've surrendered totally to the filth monster,” Savaris said He didn't look like he cared
Grendan had a fight with filth ed phase seized an opening created by the larvae attacking the city and entered the city's inner area The Heaven's Blade successors had all sensed the invasion and subsequently chased after it, but this filth e parasitic type It could live off a hu nutrients fro its location
And that hen Savaris suggested a plan
After tracking the filth monster several times, they found that the filth monster tended to attack a new host when it was about to exhaust all of the nutrients of its current host The time when the filthfor a Psychokinesist to discover its location, and also, the host would inal personality, so that would create an opening to elie number of Psychokinesists waited for the next moment when a victim would be attacked, and they prepared for the filth h the filth monster al Gahard to become the filth monster's new host Affected by its host's hatred, the filth monster also developed hatred for the people associated with Layfon
That hat Derek had sensed
”You're serving the city's defense in your very last moment as a Military Artist Is that your wish?” Savaris said as he inserted several cards into the armor on his arm Dites in the form of cards He had already inserted the cards into the ars
Savaris never knehether that was Gahard's wishGahard's hen he was in a vegetative state
He didn't need to know
”Military Artists who can't fight against filth monsters are worse than trash Shouldn't you thank your senior for kindly preparing this last glorious mission for you?”
Gahard howled Savaris didn't knohether it was Gahard's outrage or the filthHe ran on the thin steel thread to close in on Gahard, s as he did so
”Let me confront you a little bit seriouslyRestoration”
Light shot forth from his limbs to cover his entire body The card Dites expanded into their original weight and forathered around the arht white light that ht
Savaris's Heaven's Blade had been restored to its original form
He lifted his ar torn apart, his arm received Gahard's fist
”Not a bad sudden attack,” he said, relaxed, as if he was just taking off his jacket
Gahard kicked out at him He backed off a step Gahard's next kick followed, he was perfor consecutive kicks on the steel thread
”Hahaha Not bad!”
The air around Gahard spun On occasions, blades of air assaulted Savaris from a direction different to Gahard's kick As the number of kicks increased, so did the number of air blades, but Savaris avoided theht you could execute this move so perfectly? I really want my brother to take a look at this”
His sht seriously with soreat that you haven't failed my expectations”
Gahard continued his attacks in the same pattern as Savaris leaped around The Heaven's Blade successor received a kick on the ar Gahard increased the speed of his next kick Wrapped in the wind of his spin, it was a decisive attack that si with Gahard's kick
Blades of air shot towards Savaris like rain Facing the invisible attacks as he kept his flying pose, Savaris breathed in deeply
”AH HA!”
And blew out his Kei that co behind the wind of Gahard's spins
”This is one way of using Roar Kei,” Savaris smiled as he landed on a steel thread ”And also, even if you don't execute the entireas you can bounce back the Kei, then”
The lower part of Savaris' body blurred
Gahard crossed his arms before him reflexively
A sound that felt low and heavy Then Gahard's body floated
”Don't you know the ”Fierce Wind Kei” style? It doesn't rounded in the Luckens' style of Kei Ouras we move with the flow The ”Quick Wind”with the effect of additional Kei training, and that levels up the power of the move into ”Fierce Wind Kei” You didn't do a bad job with it, but I already knehat it'd be like As expected, it's not as satisfying to fight with a guy from the same school”
About to deliver a kick, Savaris lowered his leg
The expression on Gahard's face made Savaris think ”How could this be?”
A hued from the threatened beast that was Gahard
”Why such despair? Can Gahard's human consciousness still remain? Have you realized the distance between you and a Heaven's Blade successorOn that day, you failed to obtain the Heaven's Blade title even though you got hold of Layfon's weakness Have you finally understood that?”
”I, I wasI was” Gahard's lips trembled to weave the words
”Oh? you can still talk normally”
”I justcouldn't allow it That brata Heaven's Blade successor on par with the young MasterBeca MasterI couldn't tolerate it”
The light of humanity shone in his eyes
Had he escaped from the filth monster's control?
”I decidedto defeat him For that brat to become a Heaven's Blade successorIt must have been chance I couldn't stand hih self-defense How unsightly”
Savaris cared nothing for the dying words of a man controlled by a filth monster
”Either way, the fact that you threatened Layfon won't change You're also responsible for it As a senior, shouldn't you have participated in the match calmly and pulled hi hihtly, and in that second, internal Kei spilled out fro the air vibrate
”You're only at a passing level in ter the principles of a Military Artist At least die and leave a good htly protests”
”Ugh, Ah, Ooh”
Pain showed through Gahard's icy words The huain in his eyes The pupils that showed control before changed back to a filth ed
”Finally realizing that you can't win as a human, huh? But”
Gahard's body expanded The tattered clothes tore apart, exposing the muscles in bunches A black body The expansion stopped after the body was three tis appeared on its back and thick scales covered it fro and sharp teeth showed through the ht sky
Savaris watched coldly as the filth uys lost to us outside the air purification system What can you do inside then?”
The lazy smile had been wiped off Savaris' face A sharp expression like that of a blade eed to stare at the filth monster
The three claiped at Savaris
Savaris' body dispersed into the wind
It was an illusion
”Gahard Baren, this is my last mercy to you”
That voice sounded froes Like an army of Savarises, each Savaris faced the eneant move”
Combined Internal and External Kei Variant – Luckens' move – Thousand Man Rush
Countless Savaris e The filth
Batter, hit, kick, attack, slash, shoot, destroy, twist, crush
Nu, pounding down that thick outer shell The filth monster didn't have the time to think as it was assaulted from all directions Its self-protection function worked autoes to its body Having lost its outer shell, the black body transformed
In that split second, the rain of fists ceased
It was Gahard's painful face Voiceless, he looked at Savaris bitterly as if to convey soainst his junior's pleading His fist landed on Gahard's face and broke through the filth monster's body
”If I had known you'd be scared of this, I wouldn't have used you,” he said coldly as the re Savaris' assaulted the filthit into pieces
”All done” he laughed, watching fragaps of and onto the steel threads
”Guess I gotta nail the coffin lid firmly It'd be terrible if people see what's insideBut is a norh for it?”
He rested his chin on his palave up
”I'll just let father handle this”
So that hat happened
Lintence watched the dismemberment of the filth monster's body
”It's finished,” he confir was fine now He retrieved the steel threads as if he hadn't seen Savaris still standing on one of the threads
Although Savaris see as he fell, Lintence didn't bother to listen Savaris had no right to be a Heaven's Blade successor if he could die fro of which
What Lintence thought about wasn't the filth ht just then The move that Savaris used – Thousand Man Rush Layfon stole that move from the Luckens and used it as his own He didn't just remember parts of it Even Lintence couldn't understand the structure of aat it
”No one is better at understanding the skills of Kei than he”
Besides Lintence's skill in steel threads, Layfon had turned almost all of the skills in the Dojos of Grendan into his own He was able to digest thosethem The fact that Layfon could becoly short period of tiuy a seed to transport those skills to the outside of Grendan? Was he born with that ht of the only person who reflected back in the darkness of the night
◇
Layfon headed deeper to the inside of the Mechanical Departht He had spent an entire night at Zuellni's Mechanical Depart It was even quieter than the buildings after school hours
”Did anything happen?”
”FelliWhat's wrong? Answer round noise entered Nina's voice The sa from a far distance
Suddenly
”Huh?”
His vision turned black, and the background noises ceased
”Felli, What's happened? Felli!?”
Even though he shouted into the transmitter, his voice only vanished into the bitter darkness
Layfon was left alone in the dark
