[Is it still alive……]
[Looks like it is. It’s as if it was immortal.]
It’s good that we managed to prevent the undead archdemon from destroying the capital, but it’ll be bad if it managed to flee. Although, judging how it wished to destroy the capital, it’d be hard to believe that it’d escape just like that.
It’s the worst matchup for us land dwellers……
[I wish my strength was still the way it was during my prime. I would’ve been able to put up more fight.]
It’s been a very long while since Eris last used the black bayonet, so her current form couldn’t be described as her best. Although Envy said that she could do as she wished, she could only bitterly laugh as it seemed that the weapon itself isn’t really willing to work together..
The best she could do at the moment is just giving support fire.
Fighting while managing the remaining bullets and number of charges, I would be confused as hell if I was the one having to do all that.
[So it’s like that. The charges are fine, but none of the available bullets are fitting for the situation. So, if the target flew to the sky and do something similar like before, *glance*]
[I can’t shoot that many times!]
[One more shot should be fine! You still look good]
If I did that sort of thing repeatedly, my status would drop exponentially. If I couldn’t kill the archdemon by then, I will be hard pressed to fight it properly.
Perhaps, even after this kingdom was destroyed and I died…..
[What’s with that face of yours? Ah, could it be because how hard it is to notice the tension from my expression?]
[…Un.]
[When you’ve lived for so long, you’ll become desensitized to things like death. Both your own death and others. Yes, I know what you mean. But there is nothing I can do about this one.]
Eris then muttered in a low voice, [I was once a delicate girl though]. I guess it’s directed to herself. But judging from how she said it, I suppose she felt that she’s no longer as delicate as she originally was.
[But even so. No matter if it’s the past or present, there is something that never changes]
[Seriously…..it’s……]
[It seems to be using the spirit union. After Fate foiled its effort just now, I think it’s starting to get serious.]
So is this the dark magic powered up by the Soul Union……? Instead of multiple casts like before, it’s now a single powerful cast using all of its magical reserves.
It’s something I must decide by myself.
[It’s from the top of the palace’ rooftop]
[Ah, that girl……appearing in a timely matter.]
All I could hear was a very loud boom, to the point that it made the ground trembling. Soon after the black magic in the sky disappeared. The large crevice to the different dimension closed up.
The black axe Sloth became even heavier as it hit an enemy. And earlier today, Myne used it to spar with Aaron.
While watching the undead archdemon with astonished face,
[So, feeling better now?]
To Myne who appeared from the darkness of the night, I said in a direct manner.
[It’s a bit late. Myne]
[But your aid really saved us]
[Un, I got here on time. Because I was sleeping at the mansion, but Aaron woke me up]
Looking at me intently, she moved her hair locks away.
[Aaron hit me. It was painful]
[But since it’s emergency, I forgave him]
[I see…..Aaron was in a serious rush.]
Myne glanced at the undead archdemon. I was terrified by the gaze she threw at us afterward.
[This won’t do. Why was I pushed to act? And this situation, what’s with this ugly thing? Ne, why is it?]
[That’s, because I shot a lot of blanks during battle……I’m sorry]
[You’ll need to separate them ……in order to defeat the undead Archdemon. If it’s Fate, you have the technique to kill an unkillable enemy. You can use it.]
Myne said ‘to separate them’. Just from a short look, she already knew that something was possessing the undead archdemon.
