Even though he has transformed into someone completely different in appearance, "Sloth" is still obsessed with Wilhelm as always, using his special care to lure him away from the battlefield and fight with him alone.
Wilhelm stared closely at the crazed man in front of him and further accelerated his speed. The sword ghost flew like an arrow from the string, shaking off the entangled invisible attacks.
"Sloth" ignored the rain of earth falling from the sky and continued to launch invisible attacks regardless of the consequences, as if this was the only thing left in his mind. Not only was he crazy, but even his tactics remained unchanged, so natural,
The result will not change
The madman seemed to scream something, but Wilhelm, who was running at full speed in a straight line, ignored it, ignored all unnecessary things, transformed into a sword, and charged in order to cut off the evil with this sharp sword.
Of course, as the distance gets closer, the obstacles will increase, the number of scratches will continue to increase, and the body will feel pain. Wilhelm raised his sword and struck out.
The ground was cut vertically, the madman's body tilted, and the sword demon's sword pointed directly at the opponent's body, and then passed through him.
"--succeed!"
The sword penetrated the madman's left chest, completely destroying his heart, and mercilessly marked the finish line of his life with a death that even Phyllis could not save.
"...Sure enough, it's your words."
The body was pierced by the blade, and the madman who was not yet dead was vomiting blood and saying something. Wilhelm was about to turn a deaf ear to the dying man's last lies and draw his sword.
However, the madman, in Wilhelm's ears, said this
"You will only focus on fighting with the invisible hand and neglect to guard against the visible things... Is this laziness?"
The madman leaning on Wilhelm raised the dagger with a trembling arm, and then, without hesitation, stabbed his left eye with the dagger
The tip of the sword penetrated the eye socket and penetrated into the brain, stirring the brain and cutting off his own vitality.
"Varied--"
The moment the sword demon's sight was snatched away by the suicidal blade, the light shone brightly——
…
The moment we rounded the corner of the collapsed house and came to the destroyed street, the ground began to shake.
The impact from under the feet and the tremor from the air made people hold their breath. The storm and flames that followed rushed towards Subaru who was running towards him.
"Oh ah--"
"Stay there and don't move! Iroh! Iku!"
Julius ran to Subaru who was stiff, raised his hand, and the green and yellow spirits bloomed at his call.
Yuexing on the side raised his hand, and the blue wind shield opened
The sand and gravel rising from the ground blocked the wind blade coming through the air, and all the heat waves coming from the front were intercepted. The earth wall protected the two of them, blocking everything.
"what happened!?"
"I don't know. Before the explosion, I seemed to see someone on the road..."
After the aftermath of the explosion passed, he crossed the crumbling earth wall and ran towards the center of the explosion. The huge crater showed the tragedy of the explosion before his eyes.
Then, the figure lying in the center of the pit made Subaru's voice freeze.
"Mr. Wilhelm...!?"
Subaru let out a trembling cry and ran to the white-haired old swordsman who was crouching on the ground. His whole body was covered in flames from the explosion and serious injuries caused by the storm. It was incredible that he could still have all four limbs in this state. However,
There were still weak breaths. After Subaru confirmed this, he let out a sigh of relief.
"But it's absolutely impossible to leave it like this! If you don't take it to Phyllis..."
"——But, it seems that things will not go so smoothly."
Subaru was kneeling on one knee, trying to support Wilhelm, when Yuexing standing next to him said this. Feeling the caution and tension contained in these words, Subaru raised his head.
Julius kept changing the direction of the unsheathed knight's sword to contain the surroundings. The reason for this was simply because there was more than one enemy, and many enemies were approaching from all directions.
Witch cultists were holding cross swords that looked like crosses and appeared one after another from all directions. However, the biggest problem was not them, but one of them who lowered his hood and appeared with four people.
——She is a petite woman with short dark brown hair.
With her bare hands, her stance was defenseless, and her whole body was full of flaws. However, her eyes were bloodshot and she was biting her nails. Such self-mutilation behavior was the ironclad proof that she was the one who should be warned most.
The woman bit the nail of her right thumb, then twisted it hard and pulled off the nail. Seeing the exposed flesh dripping with blood, Subaru wrinkled his face in disgust and imaginary pain.
"At this point in time, one after another...how many people are there, you bastards!"
"Why, why, why, why, why... you are still alive here? You have already been attacked like that! Why don't you succumb to my diligence!"
"This is what I want to say! It's almost time to end it for me! Rebirth me again and again! Do you have any deep hatred for us!?"
I'm afraid, in terms of wanting to scold each other, the two of them were evenly matched. Just when Subaru and the woman were expressing their hatred and hostility to each other, Wilhelm, who was being supported by Subaru, started to move.
Is it a reaction to external stimulation? The sword demon remained unconscious, his lips moved, and his painful breathing made Subaru hate his enemy even more, but his expression made Subaru feel Yin Qi.
"Mr. Wilhelm?"
"The same...really...got"
The voice was as thin as a mosquito and seemed to disappear at any moment. Moreover, the witch cultists were not kind and considerate enough to let him listen to the whole sentence again.
"You! As long as we get rid of the lazy you and the diligent you! The outcome will be certain! The matter will be settled! It will usher in the fate it deserves! So just die here! Just die!!"
The woman spat as she spoke, and put her hand into her cassock. However, she couldn't find what she was looking for. She pulled out her hand, looking like she wanted to grind her teeth. Subaru could think of the source of her anger and regret.
Then this inspiration made Subaru understand what he should do now
"——Julius, while protecting Wilhelm, can you deal with someone other than Sloth?"
"--Pleiades?"
Julius remained alert and only turned his gaze to Subaru, frowning slightly at his question. However, there was no time to elaborate. Subaru stared into his yellow eyes and spoke again.
"I'll restrain that idiot, and then the next thing is, Yuexing."
Yuexing looked at Subaru and nodded.
Gently laying Wilhelm's body flat on the ground, Subaru stretched out his hand into his arms. The witch cultists gradually narrowed the circle of encirclement, but only "Sloth" showed no sign of action. She was not despising the enemy, but
It's because to her, attack distance has no meaning.
However, this is only when she fights with someone other than Natsuki Subaru.
"Come on, it's almost over! In the face of this love that is greater than all! In the face of this love that is nobler than all things! In the face of our diligence in returning favor! Only when you give everything, your
The value is..."
"Hey, the female Petelgeus, keep an eye on her."
After shouting at the frantic "Sloth", Subaru let out a breath, and then took his hand out of his arms.
——In that hand, there is a black-covered book.
This is the gospel that Subaru recovered from the dead Sloth——
"Is this what you are looking for? This book was a gift from my favorite witch."
"——Little thief!! Sure enough, it was you who took it!"
"Sloth" stared at the gospel in Subaru's hand, widened his eyes and screamed
Looking for something that should be in my arms, the anxiety caused by not finding it, the resentment for being taken away, the root of everything is in this book
"The reason why the buried body of Petelgeus was dug up was to recover the Gospels. I would rather dig the grave to retrieve it. The poisoning of words should be stopped in moderation, right?"
"It's so noisy! Don't say anything ridiculous! Put that book right now..."
"Don't yell so angry. If you get too angry, what will happen - your brain will tremble."
"——! Go to hell, go to hell!!"
For his ability to provoke and stimulate others, no one here can surpass Subaru.
The anger of "Sloth" completely exploded, and the shadow under the woman's feet swelled. The shadow split countless times on top of her head, and the fingertips of the overwhelming black palms pointed at Subaru at the same time.
However, if you want to kill Subaru like this, you can only say that you have chosen the wrong method.
"My favor! The embodiment of my love! Just surrender in front of my love. Those who betray morality——!"
"Sloth" roared, and the black hand pressed down like an avalanche. This existence, which can be called the incarnation of destruction, attacked Subaru with a tsunami-like sense of oppression.
However, this kind of attack is silent to people other than Subaru, but on the contrary, in Subaru's eyes, this kind of attack is clearly visible.
There are many demonic hands, but their movements are slow. In the eyes of Subaru, who has only watched many extraordinary battles so far, but has witnessed many extraordinary battles, they are like stationary flies. To exaggerate, they are not stationary flies. Even so, their speed
But it was definitely not so fast that Subaru couldn't avoid it.
Subaru ran in a large circle to avoid the group of "invisible hands" that swooped towards him. The Sword Demon might be able to see directly through the gaps, but Subaru couldn't do such a difficult thing, so he could only
I make up for it with physical strength.
If you aim at a single point with the power of large-scale suppression, loopholes will eventually appear. The so-called "invincible" power is very powerful, but looking at it this way, it is difficult to say that it is invincible.
"You actually avoided my power...!? Then, with the help of believers——"
"——Unfortunately, I have asked someone else to delete this choice."
When the woman who lost her cool noticed her gaffe and wanted to order her subordinates, it was already too late.
