Vol 24 Chapter 4 (2/2)
He wouldn't slon
Felli and the others had already opened a path for hi Layfon had expected
So, Layfon definitely couldn't stop here
He definitely couldn't slon
Even if so wanted to stop hie happened before hi to Captain!”
Layfon's role was to arrive at his destination, and save that girl
But yes, soe happened on the flahtly shortened distance
The shot that had intervened with Layfon had hit the beast's chest, and that thing had happened as if anticipating that opportunity long before, or perhaps it was siiant ball of Kei
Though this Kei poas far higher than the shot just now, the flow of that Kei was extremely familiar to Layfon
”Captain!”
It was Nina's
Layfon's back went cold because of a bad premonition
”Felli!”
(The situa)
”Felli!?”
(PsnesisLay)
The voice that came from the Psychokinesis flake was basically incomprehensible because of noise
Felli's voice could no longer reach
”Then I can only rely on ht
The road on which he had co on Felli, Sharnid, Harley, and others Afterwards was Layfon's mission
This was the shared ht of at the start
”Captain!”
That ball of Kei wasn't what Layfon was scared of
Layfon believed this as he charged over
The ball exploded on the beast's head
The shockwaves produced once again wiped out the fla to pour over into Layfon's path of advance
The lava that had originally been covering the ground was all bloay, beco a rain of fire
Layfon who had al with a low posture
After the shockwave subsided, he adjusted his posture, see to almost fall over
Layfon witnessed the new develop before him with his own eyes
A cluster of flame was before Layfon
◇
Success
Acco spread through her body
Nina who had been thrown into the air by the shockwave produced from her Kei explosion was even now still in the air
She had only lost consciousness for a moment
Her eardrums were assaulted by the sound of a hurricane Her vision was blotted out by strong light, and her skin was i shockwaves She felt numb because of these confused senses
Her eardruh?
No
It was just that her hearing was the first to return
”Ah”
As if coughing out so from inside her throat, Nina made a sound In the next moment, when her entire body could feel the circulation of the heat of Kei, her five senses recovered
”Ugh!”
The strong light before her could create new confusion
Nina endured this, confir the situation
”This is?”
It was the sky
Nina looked at the sun, and lowering her eyes was the ground
She seeh place
What about her body?
No problems
”And the situation?”
What happened to the flame beast?
That beast that wanted to end the world?
It was still there
Right nohen she lowered her eyes there was only the body of the giant beast
But, its head wasn't there
The part that had suffered the explosion that Nina created was no longer there
”Did it work?”
Its head had been destroyed, so did that mean they had won?
That beast was dead? She had defeated it?
If that weren't so
”Please”
As Nina coughed, a change slowly happened in the horizon
The body of the flame beast shook
It collapsed
”It worked”
Nina spoke to herself
”Yeah, it worked”
A voice suddenly spoke up, and Nina's falling body was suddenly stopped
Nina's body had been caught by countless vines
It was Airen
The vines catching Nina slowly placed her on the ground
The mysterious man who had appeared with Saya used a kind of hard-to-accept smile to welcome Nina
”With this, it's over”
The ret filled Nina's chest
Theazeunfathomable
It wasn't an eret that had been liberated Had Nina been infected by it?
Then, hat Nina felt fronasis's spirit is also getting tired of anger As long as we defeat that replace will be decided That person was also finally able to become a human”
”That person?”
”It's so frohtly, and he wanted to gloss over everything Nina also didn't investigate further
Because Nina felt that his regret was different from her own
Nina also retted
Time
Airen and Saya had already experienced ine
But Nina had not
Nina had inherited her great-grandfather's le where she felt that she had to do soh the true at Airen and Saya
Theof inferiority
Though she was in this position, she wouldn't perhting while being co behind the battle
Nina felt extremely concerned about this
”Did I co properly?”
”Nn?”
”Did I properly do what I had to do?”
”I don't knohat you're getting at”
Airen's lone eye looked at Nina, and as if her heart was being seen through completely, Nina turned her face in a different direction
”If you let that thing be, this world would have been destroyed Right nohen a way to elied, if the world crureat majority of humans would die”
Nina al
Regardless of whether she knew the truth behind the battle or not, it made no difference to Nina
Even if she didn't know, she would still do what she had to
That should be enough
”You did well, isn't that enough?”
She didn't really understand it herself
Before she could search for an answer, Nina descended to the ground
To express everything in a single world, it would be a very sience'
The beast was still fallen while cruth fro, thick black smoke endlessly rose to the sky
The flas earlier had also stopped
The flaiant wreckage
That was all Nina thought there was
A light appeared
Just when the light appeared, it was still weak
But afterwards, it becaht
”What!”
When she noticed this, Nina's vision had already been dyed red
She couldn't avoid it
It was death
Without sparing her a ht there
”I never would have thought that wounded beast”
She had known and accepted the oncoht now she could still move, so as it that deter Airen's voice, Nina felt that her collar was grabbed by so pulled on
”We've underestimated it!”
The next ent, then her collarbone would have been broken Nina as pulled back by such a strong force left the place where she had been in h the air, saw the scene of two figures being sed by flaures were Airen and Saya
After the two figures were engulfed, the flaain took aim at a different place
”Guah!”
Because she had been watching that scene blankly, Nina forgot topreparations
Nina rolled continuously on the ground, and finally stopped
The flaed
Its appearance looked like a beast that had lost its mind because of intense pain
”Ah, ahh”
Moreover Airen and Saya had been engulfed
Were they alright?
Could they be alright in that kind of situation?
He had done that to protect Nina
The self-blame that had suddenly appeared tormented Nina
”It's all because of s clearly hadn't ended definitively, but she had relaxed her guard
”I killed those two”
”Ah, don't be that concerned”
Suddenly, a voice consoled Nina
”Those people can be said to not have the concepts of life and death, and as long as their heart stays alright, there will be no worry They are those kinds of things”
”Eh?”
It was a voice she had heard before
”So losing their mental vitality is the worst for them That's why they expand the world of their lory, nor would they ever give up on pursuing the things that they want I' this, it's reality”
It was a voice that Nina knew
”Though I know it becaiven up on er”
”Senpai”
Nina turned her head, and what she saw there was a red-haired man
It was Dix
Dixerio Maskane was standing there
”Yep”
Dix, who had suddenly appeared in this kind of situation, only made Nina feel worried
He had clearly disappeared with Nelphilia to some unknown place, so why had he suddenly appeared here
”Senpai why are you here?”
”Nn ahah”
She could see weariness on the face of Dix as he thought of what to say
”Weren't you with Nelphilia?”
Nelphilia was definitely also around right now
She had run into her on the road here
Nina had only asked this because she knew this
Her heart was filled with doubt and worry
Why would there be this kind of situation?
Why had Dix appeared the moment that Airen and the others disappeared because of the beast's sudden counterattack when they had thought it defeated?
Why did he seem like he knew Airen from his tone of voice?
Who was the person that Airen called the er'?
Could it be
”Do you know already?”
”Ah!”
Hearing that sentence from Dix, sparks flew in Nina'sout wasn't able to hit hihtly farther from Nina
”Why!”
Nina shouted out
Was it truly like this?
Was Dix really the true body of that flame beast?
Was he the culprit anted to destroy this world that ht with the Wolf Faces, like this?”
”I myself want to ask that”
Nina's vision had already distorted froure was very clear
The flame that seemed about to disappear continued, and his red hair blew in the wind
His hand clutched his chest
”Being toyed with by that character, and ending up being a reflection, it really h about”
”What are you talking about?”
”My own business”
Different fro his chest seeh to peel off his skin Dix looked at Nina
”My insignificant business Work that hasn't been of any use even till now It's so e that I can't even cry about it”
”Senpai”
”But, these things won't change no ain How should I explain it? What a joke What would happen if we lost the essence of our s when you know the outcome, Airen!? You're truly incurably naive!”
”Senpai?”
The expression of Dix as talking to hi expression disappeared, with only rage
Along with that change, heat began to be produced in his surroundings
The temperature of the air continuously rose
It was trying to beco like transporting everything to Velzenhaiardless of whose legacies, whose desires, whatever happens, these things no longer have anything to do withother than this Because of e will never burn out That is er be
But, that didn't
There was a part that she could understand
Dix hadn't become the enemy of this world because he wanted to
It wasn't him who had wanted to become the beast of flame and incinerate the entire world
She completely didn't know the reasons for it
Nina was cos had happened for things to becoht the situation would become like this, Nina was very clear on that point
”Senpai, can you not stop this?”
”It's no use I tried to destroyand then let it be defeated in the physical world, that was my plan, but it seems like it failed”
”Self-destruction”
When she heard that phrase, Nina felt that so in her ”
Saying this, Nina pointed at the frenzied fla e that refuses to disappear from my heart that made it becoave up, and that thing ran aer Ah, in other words it only became that way”
The expression of Dix who said these words became even more vicious
Every tis would rise a bit
The density of the Kei he released also rose endlessly
”But, regardless of how long it burns it doesn't disappear, and as long as there is so left behind, it will turn into a blaze I aripped the Dite in his hand He clearly hadn't brought a Dite, so where exactly had the Dite appeared from?
The Kei he released also became flame the moment it came in contact with the air
”Coh I don't knohy you're here, the reasons for which you are here can be fulfilled now”
Dix shouldered the iron whip
That stance was
”Senpai I”
”Continuing to ask won't produce any results Coo”
In a moment, Dix's Kei exploded The Kei that swelled as it beca itself into his body, and the gigantic Kei began circulating rapidly in his body after beco denser
The fla crackled
”Senpai!”
The endlessly growing Kei density had already created a phenomenon like a small hurricane, and Nina could already feel it very accurately
”Uwah!”
”I already said that talking was er
He planted his foot heavily on the ground, and in the next iant flash of electricity appeared
The strike that wanted to crush Nina shot out
”Huaaaah!”
The belated Kei covered Nina Her hands that took up the iron whips were extreround also burdened her
No, it wasn't like that
That wasn't her way of fighting
Have no confusion, and just advance - that hat Nina had been taught
Then, who had taught her?
It was the fighting ht to Nina Her Military Artist heart and foundations were also learned froh, and as it who allowed Nina's feet to stand firround?
Her companions in Zuellni
The fourteenth platoon who had promoted Nina to a platoon member
The seventeenth platoon that Nina had formed herself
She completely relied on theiven Nina the two feet to continue advancing?
'If you believe in yourself, then don't be confused, and take that step forward, and then deliver the blow'
Who had taught her that saying?
”Senpai!”
That shout was drowned out by the ru of Raijin, and Nina also flew into the air
She wasn't still living because Dix had been thened the defensive power of Nina's hastily-used Kongoukei
”Too weak You're only at this level, huh”
Descending, Nina heard calm words
”For what are you here? For what did you coether?”
”Ugh”
”As long as I still live, this flaht now, after soardless of how ardless of how ain Because a hopeless person like ”
”Senpai”
”Co That's why you came here Then cos in your hands?”
”I can't do it!”
Why?
”How can I do that!”
Why had she co to this day?
For who, for what It was to become a person who could help others that she had walked on to this day Her ultimate ideals should be here
She could decide the victor between the thing that had always fought with this world and the fate she had inherited frorandfather
That should be thesituation for Nina's ideals
For who, for what
The place where she could do it was the place where she was now
Even now, nothing had changed
It was obviously like that
”I can't do it!”
Why?
She had only believed there was aas she defeated it, the world could be peaceful
Nina had thought this
That beast of flame had completed Nina's ideals in that sense
But
”Why is it senpai!”
The person who had given Nina the two feet to advance as Dix
If it wasn't Dix, then ht too naive?
”What ht now there's already only this Continuing to talk about cause and effect doesn't have anyIt's only do or do not”
Dix who had just charged out readied his iron whip on his shoulder again
He cast a conteround on one knee
”What is it? Didn't you come here to save the world?”
Yes
That was true
But, but
She couldn't stand
Right now, she no longer had so that had supported Nina up till now
She had lost it, and Nina no longer knehat to do
”I”
She couldn't
”Aahn?”
Dix ive up on fighting
Then the plan would transfer to the next stage
A feeling resonated in her mind with many implications
”What is it?”
Nina's entire body was abnor, and her entire body felt paralyzed
Had her strength left her?
No
Her hands that grasped the iron whips were grippingfeet stopped shaking and prepared to stand
But, Nina's heart still hadn't regained her vigor
Nina's emotions and heart hadn't been set in her iron whips
But, Nina still stood up, still grasped the iron whips
”This is?”
Though Nina wanted to say it, her ht Dix, but things weren't as Nina had thought
”Fool, you've been toyed with by the Electronic Fairies”
Through Dix's words, Nina slightly understood a little bit about the situation
”Armadune? Dischale? Tentorium? Falysodam?”
Nina spoke the narandfather
But, none of the on!?'
Nina let out a soundless howl and then she finally realized her foolishness
What kind of beings they were
Why had they come here?
Why they had become Haikizokus
Yes, it was all for this day, for this moment
They had beco that would lead the world to ruin, and had alaited for this day
That goal seemed about to arrive, but Nina's heart had wavered No, her heart had already turned
In that kind of situation, would they just be shocked?
Would they allow failure?
Nina was very clear that the ansas definitely no
So, had they thought of this plan froh for us only to be able to cos wouldn't have become like this if you had an iron will
Those voices were obviously blaer belonged to Nina [3]
Her hands that grasped the iron whips didn't have any feeling, and her feet didn't have the sensation of standing on the ground A feeling like floating in the air do the helpless Nina from a distance
She could hear the sound of an explosion from behind her, and she didn't knohy Dix's expression was becohtly felt the Kei pressure in her body suddenly rise
This also confirmed that those Haikizokus had lived and existed to today for this , and after this, there was no way out
In other words, things were like that
She couldn't even say so like 'stop'
This was the worst outcome that her foolishness had led to
At least, that was how things should have gone
She didn't knoho it ho, but someone stopped Nina's body, stopped the ht there”
Calm words stimulated Nina
”Don't think that I'll let you do whatever you ith this body”
Aah
Other than the faht another e?”
Dix spoke to the person behind Nina
”Have you co end?”
He asked this
”I don't know that kind of thing”
He said that
”I only ca Captain back”
Nina's body, that even now still wanted to advance, was held back by a single hand of his
”If so obstructs s are”
”Not bad”
Dix laughed
”I rather like that way of thinking”
He le of the iron whip on his shoulder also changed
The direction of Raijin also changed because of this
That er aimed at Nina
They were aimed behind her
Aimed at the person there
”Layfon”
Nina spoke with great difficulty, whispering his name
”Then, let me see what kind of power you have!”
Layfon's hand let go of Nina's shoulder
He stood in front of Nina
Seeing his figure, Nina noticed it
Layfon's hand didn't have a Dite
◇
Before Layfon stood in front of Nina
Facing the fla in, Layfon made a decision in moments
it was time to use the cards that he had kept hidden
”daht of actually wasn't right now
But, if he didn't use it now, then he wouldn't be able to reach Nina
He could only try and see
Layfon instantly made that bitter choice, and reached his hand to his sword belt
That sword belt had been obtained fro the buckle of the sword belt, Layfon brandished the sword belt
The various Dites held in the sword belt were tossed into the air
”Restoration!”
Layfon called out the restoration keyword
That h the air shone with light together, and restored
The blade of the shi+h the air ht was currently correcting the paths of the falling swords
That light of Kei was released by Layfon
External Kei variant - Ru around the sword blade forh the air were assembled one after another into this blade
Afterwards, as if beco like this were totally natural, the asse a blade of Kei
This was Layfon's hidden card
Using Co it into the shi+otten froh this method of use was similar to a technique of Karen Kei, it couldn't be used as accurately as Karen Kei Because this o, he couldn't use amove that he could only use once
External-type Kei, Co Sword
”Don't blockthe various Dites and the blade produced by Kei to pierce the cluster of fla close, he cut it in two, and the shockwave pushed the energy to the li an explosion
The expanding shockwave bleay the flame
Layfon didn't have time to confirm the results
He couldn't stop
Layfon charged into the midst of the parted flame
On the other side, he saw Nina
◇
Like that, Layfon stood there
”You have no weapon yet still stand there?”
Watching Layfon, the red-haired main spoke
Was this h he was a bit surprised in his heart, it wasn't the tih I don't hate that style, still, what are you prepared to do eh thedown on Layfon, it didn't see hioodwill,Layfon's heart a bit perplexed
Was this the opponent's plan?
”I didn't coainst you”
”Ha, and then? So that's how it is, I understand - you want me to flee?”
”What I want to knohat you're planning to do empty-handed I won't
