episode_0218

In the past, the became known to the world and gained the name by beheading the『Demon Beast that Devours the Earth』.

However, there are 6 more『Demon Beasts』remaining.

No one knows where they are at the current time, but they certainly exist somewhere in this world.

“■■■■■■■■■■■!!!!!”

A giant snake, or dragon, or something combining the two, appeared, destroying part of the mirror world and emerging from the gap.

Perhaps trying to release the anger that had been sealed for a long time, it appeared, spewing emotions in a language that could not be understood by human reason.

“That is….”

I stared blankly at it.

The moment I saw its appearance, which exists in the setting of this Pilgreia continent, my head throbbed strangely.

“Damn…. It never ends….”

A large amount of seawater pouring from the crack in the shattered mirror world dampens my ankles.

But I was so focused on it that I couldn’t even pay attention to that.

I didn’t feel this way when I first met the Great Sage, Equal to Heaven, or when I first met the Great Sage who Pacifies Heaven.

If they felt ‘charisma’ due to their overwhelming power and presence, then this was not charisma, but an alien unpleasantness.

It’s hard to explain exactly, but my consciousness and soul were not accepting its existence.

Thump.

And at the same time, one emotion began to sprout deep within my heart.

“Leviathan. The being that the people of this world call『Demon Beast that Swallows the Sea』, and… one of the sources of my power.”

“So, it’s 1:3 now?”

“But you’ll be fine with this much, right?”

In the meantime, Tammiell, who summoned Leviathan, snapped her fingers and drew a magic circle.

Kugugugugung!!!

And while Tammiell was drawing the magic circle, Leviathan rushed at me with a heavy roar.

I took a big step back and swung my sword, avoiding Leviathan’s charge.

A slash mixed with crimson and gold touches Leviathan’s hide.

Thud!!!

This level of slash only left a light scar on Leviathan’s hide.

I think I can cut it off enough if I put more strength into it….

Thump thump

‘What is this feeling?….’

Kwaga Gagagak!!!

“■■■■■■■■!!!!”

Enraged by the fact that he had left a slight scar on himself, the guy rampaged even more violently and aimed at me.

And every time he moved, the rising seawater became a wave and made the world shake.

Thump thump thump

‘What on earth is this emotion boiling from within….’

“Pierce.”

“Dark Spear.”

Countless spears of divinity made of pure white light and a large number of spears of demonic power made of jet-black darkness fall to the ground.

These are aimed directly at me like pouring rain.

Leviathan chasing me. And spears of light and darkness.

I took a stance to sweep them away at once.

“Mountain Splitter”

A streak of red light that cuts through the world.

The red line succeeded in splitting Leviathan’s body.

“■■■■■■■■■■!!!!!!”

Leviathan writhes in agony, perhaps in pain.

At the same time, the aftershock strikes, and the spears flying at me are scattered by the sword pressure and repelled.

Thump thump thump thump

Leviathan is in agony, spewing black blood.

The black blood fell into the sea and began to dye the sea black.

The moment I saw Leviathan’s blood, the surge of emotions raged even more violently in my heart.

Only then did I realize the identity of this emotion.

‘This is…. Is it the Prince’s emotion?’

The origin of the chains that loved, had loved, and bound him.

Anger at that. And anger at his own weakness for not cutting it off. All of these were mixed together, causing this frustrating and intense emotion.

‘I didn’t know it was having such a strong impact….’

…Perhaps his soul was asking me.

Please help him.

Please save her.

“….”

I put the Blood Demon Sword into my inventory and took out the Holy Sword again.

[Master!….]

“…Let’s go.”

“You took out the Holy Sword again.”

“You won’t be able to properly deal with us with the Holy Sword, will you?”

Tammiell asks me with a smile.

It’s not like a sneer. A question out of pure curiosity.

I took a stance to answer that question.

“Don’t worry. I didn’t take it out to cut you down.”

Brilliant pure white Divine Power emanates from the Holy Sword.

Clearly, it is a much more overwhelming and at the same time restrained Holy Power than the crimson Demonic Power that the Blood Demon Sword emitted.

With this, I can easily cut Leviathan’s hide.

The ‘Holy Sword’ that the ‘Prince’ so desperately wanted is now in my hand.

“ is said to have cut down the 『Demon Beast that Devours the Earth』. If that person did it, there’s no reason why I can’t.”

The fact that Leviathan can be dealt sufficient effective damage has already been verified.

And I have the ‘Holy Sword’ in my hand, which pours out even stronger power.

There’s no reason for me not to be able to do it.

“Hey, Tammiell.”

“?”

Tammiell, who was preparing attack magic for me, tilts her head and looks at me.

“Only this time.”

“Only this time?….”

“Only this one time…. I’ll become your ‘Prince’.”

“!!”

“■■■■■■■■!!!!”

Leviathan roars.

In order to cut down Leviathan, who has a body so huge that the end of its body cannot be seen, I draw out magic power.

Perhaps reacting to my magic power.

Leviathan, who was roaring in anger, immediately rushed at me and opened his huge mouth.

A preparatory stance to swallow me in one fell swoop.

I quietly concentrate and point my sword at the rushing Leviathan.

“Cut down fate.”

“■■■■■■■■■!!!”

“Great Sea Splitter.”

The stab filled with overwhelming magic power splits Leviathan’s head as it is and cuts off its body. While splitting Leviathan, who has an enormous size, the black blood in his body mixes with the seawater and becomes a black sea, and the water level rises rapidly.

How much seawater did this monster swallow?

After a large amount of black blood, enough to make a large lake, poured out, Leviathan’s corpse sank into the black sea and hid its appearance.

A death that was too futile for its size and presence.

Even I wondered if this was really true? It was simple and futile, but unlike when I cut it with the ‘Blood Demon Sword’, it seemed that it could not regenerate its wounds, so it was clear that this guy was dead.

‘Tammiell’s past words that the Holy Sword is their weakness were right.’

“Ah….”

While watching Leviathan’s death, Tammiell let out a short groan and brought her hand to her neck.

The chain on her neck that had been binding Tammiell seemed to melt away.

“You really…, killed Leviathan.”

Perhaps she couldn’t believe its death, she trembled and touched her empty neck.

“…Hoo.”

I stared at her for a while, then put the Holy Sword away and approached Tammiell.

After Leviathan’s death in a single blow.

She seemed to have lost her will to fight, and she was in a completely defenseless state without drawing out magic power, so I decided it would be okay to leave her alone.

“Tammiell.”

“….”

“I cut off your fate.”

“….”

Tammiell nodded silently at my words.

At the same time, Reviya, who was standing next to her, quietly closed her eyes and fell down.

“Reviya!”

I caught the fallen Reviya.

Faint breaths can be heard regularly.

“That child’s consciousness is alive.”

“!”

“She was a very strong-willed child. My life was much longer than the life she had lived, but she maintained her ego without being eaten by my memories and time.”

“…Was that so.”

Come to think of it, if you look at Reviya’s actions, she was mentally strong.

From the beginning, Reviya, who was just a village girl with no ability to fight, heading to Gold Road to find her dad was not for the faint of heart.

I picked up Reviya in a princess carry.

“I know it’s strange to ask you, but do you know how to get out of here?”

“…Yes. I know.”

…You know?

“…You know, but why have you been here all this time?”

“Well…. Why would that be.”

Her expression felt somewhat relieved.

When she lightly snapped her fingers, the mirror world, which had been breaking down due to Leviathan’s influence, completely collapsed and turned into a pure white space.

In the pure white space was the large full-body mirror that I and Reviya used when we came to this mirror world.

Even I could tell if I came this far.

That mirror is the door to the outside.

“It’s okay to end it now.”

“?”

Tammiell said with her eyes closed quietly.

Like a criminal waiting for her end without any resistance.

At that sight, I sighed deeply.

“Okay. Get up.”

“?”

“If my memory is correct, there’s still ‘fate’ left, right?”

“!!”

Tammiell was made up of these two existences: 『Demon Beast that Swallows the Sea』and『Demon Beast that Hides the Sun』.

So, in order to completely kill Tammiell….

“I told you. That I would become your prince. I’ll cut off all of your destiny and fate.”
