184 Episode 77: Rainbow on the Ethereal Dome of Dawn (3) (2/2)
It's Yormungand's head surrounding me as I swirl around Lilana that's interrupting it. No matter how undrilled, a simple number of violence is troublesome.
”Our ancestors feared many things and made us pass on numerous knowledge. Just to clear my mind! He told me to take forever! Something that doesn't decay, doesn't pass, right and complete! Only then will the truth flash! We 're-- when we're saved!
”That salvation is to end people!?”
”Otherwise, people will be saved.”
”- There is!
Forcefully I smash Lilana's siege net. Scales are shredded and fatigue strikes me like I've been marathoning all my life. Still, I swing through Celestial to cut off Lilana's assumptions, her paranoia, that despair.
A slashing blow enters Lilana from shoulder to side. The instant gap that puts that blow in, bursts the magic blade for the moment the blade devours deeper into Lilana's body.
An explosion would not be strange if it were a normal demon. The blow remained to determine Lilana's abdomen. But it must have been the biggest blow that damaged Lilana the most tonight.
”Or... ugh!
”Sure! Not yet! Not yet! Maybe not!
I am beaten to death by Lilana to say that it is a waste of time to redeploy the magic blade. My fist pierces Lilana's cheek on the way she was regenerating her abdomen and her body blows up.
”And all the salvation you can hope for! Happiness! The future! Maybe not now! But I don't know tomorrow! That's how people can move on! That's how you inherit it, repeat, step by step! - That's what I want from people forever!
”- That's, forever...?
”I'm going to connect this moment of the moment that I think now to the next! Next, the next time you change shape again and again, don't crush it! Happy future! Ask for it! That thought! I'll let it be forever!
Celestial's magic blade unfolds as my emotions can play. Full force from the start, roughness that can only be described as just a chunk of magic at the earliest, even when it comes to blades. But that was enough.
They come towards me as Yorumungand concentrates on one as he tries to protect Lilana, the darkness that swallows me. Towards that darkness, I release the light.
The light burst as it broke through the interior of Yormungand. I confront Lilana, looking down at Yormungand scattered as it fogged.
”... Lylana. I think it's nicer to perpetuate what you keep thinking so you don't end up, instead of shaping an endless eternity.”
Even after the regeneration, Lilana was leaning down. Yormungand, that must have been a trump card against me for her. I can still afford it the second time I put it out. I can weaken Lilana before then.
... if she will surrender, such thoughts breathe back a long time. And Lilana slowly raised her face. What floated there was still a grin like the Virgin.
”... nice, I'm sure that's”
”Lilana, surrender! Freedom may not be given so much! You may not be forgiven! Still!”
”- Yeah, it's nice. It perpetuates this moment of thought. You still give me the answer when it's eternal.”
Not responding to my voice, Lilana combined her hands in front of her own chest as she prayed and wished.
”Look, Anis. The eternity I want. I'll put everything to work for it. I'm not going to see the end of it.”
”Lilana......!
”If it was an endless eternity, I didn't have to see the end. Then nothing is horrible anymore. - Joe! Great ancestors! This life, this soul, has now understood the truth! Embrace eternity here! To swallow everything and sink into a sleep of peace and happiness! To repeat forever that I keep thinking of that moment! That's our regression!!”
”Lylanah!!”
The moment I tried to get close to Lilana, the pressure that held me back from approaching bounced me off. When I corrected my posture in the air, I saw Lilana's body unravel.
With a satisfying grin, Lilana prays with her eyes closed. The body unraveled from the toe turns into a faint and concentrated darkness.
That is very similar to, but different from, the earlier Yormungand. - Instead of knitting out the magic that gave you the magic stone, you alter the existence of ”self” into ”magic”. Throw away the vessels, throw away the pieces, and try to reach the ”magic” that wants eternity.
”Don't play witch mountain games! I will not admit such magic, such eternity!
……
”What's the difference between a spiritual covenant and a spiritual covenant!? Finally, tell the spiritual covenant to return to the world and what the hell! What difference does it make?!!”
”- I can dream. Dreams that make people happy.... Oh, you're right. Maybe I should have just dreamed of this...”
Lilana has already melted her arms into the darkness and only her upper body remains. Still, Lilana's grin is unwavering. The open eyes stare at me with mercy and gratitude.
”- Still, I'm happy now. I got the answer. Make dreams real, make impossible. Bless the people. Swallow everything in my eternity. Let me be the rocking cage for happiness. To eat the world too and sink everything into the end of your dreams.”
”Lilana!”
”Well, good day to you. It's the end of eternity with you, and if we meet again, then...”
Words did not take shape to the end, and Lilana disappeared so that she could unravel into darkness.
At that moment, darkness takes a clear outline to represent itself. That is very similar to, but different from, Jörmungand. Certainly the body is a snake. But its face is like...
”- Dragon...”
Beautiful corners, gentle red eyes. And a white hyena in the wind pokes at the fact that the presence of Lilana has changed.
Dark dragons shaped to revive memories of previous life. Its back wings widened wide, producing a voice with a pleasant clear voice in his ear.
