No. 318
She became more and more bizarre.
Her cheeks drenched in tears of blood were clustered with disgusting scales, like those of a fish.
Suddenly Mina ran towards me. It happened so quickly that I couldn't avoid her.
The moment Mina's blade-like nails were about to touch me.
Her eyes flashed and someone wrapped one arm around me and pulled me behind him.
"Baal!"
I felt Baal's hair on the tip of my forehead.
“You can’t fight that monster with your own strength right now, so run away.”
“The monster… … Are you talking about Mina who has become holy?”
"okay."
Usually when the demons call Mina, they call her 'Child of your Liad'.
If not, she is sometimes referred to as a 'child of fate', but it was the first time she was said to be a monster.
Things with amazing powers are often described as ‘monstrous’, but Baal doesn’t seem to mean that.
'It seems to mean a real monster... … surely.'
I asked, clutching Baal's collar.
“Did Mina become a monster? So, are you referring to the people who have become monsters in the holy water the temple is talking about?”
"okay."
“Are you sure? Yeah? Really? Can you take responsibility? Yeah?"
“… … .”
Baal sighed softly.
“I can see how pathetic your family has been up until now. How unbelievable.”
In the distance, I could see Pur's ears perked up and moving, and Boone's twitching.
I laughed awkwardly.
Pur and Boune were precious to me, but I was not on the side to depend on them separately.
“No, I didn’t know that Boone and Pur were monsters… … .”
Baal said, blocking Mina's attack with one hand.
“It’s okay to believe. The ancients used to call me the seer.”
Come to think of it, Baal was the only demon with two powers.
<abundance>, the ability to control plants.
<Truth>, the ability to see through the opponent.
‘The wise devil is the best!’
The only one in my family who could borrow wisdom was the soldier of the century, but it was better to summon a demon with powerful attack power with the power to summon him, so I never used it properly.
‘A devil you can rely on is precious!’
Pur looked at me with a fat expression, and Boone looked at me with a pale expression.
I thought, ignoring their gaze.
‘Anyway, it was. That’s why humans couldn’t kill holy water.’
Because it has become an existence from another world. I couldn't kill them with the power of the human world, and only I was able to kill those holy beasts using the power of the devil.
‘Then if you find a way to get rid of monsters, you can deal with those holy beasts at once.’
In that case, the power of the temple could be neutralized.
then.
thud-!
A sharp wave flew from the 5 o'clock position.
“It’s easy, Baal. How dare you have time to turn your eyes on me.”
It was Agareth.
Baal, who jumped and avoided the flying wave, put me down.
The place where Agareth's wave passed was devastated.
As if the whole land had been spread out, a huge area disappeared as it was.
I hid behind Baal and looked at Agareth.
After Mina turned into holy water, the appearance of the demons on Mina's side also changed.
He looked terribly frightening, like the Bune and Pur, who had assimilated into my malice in the past.
I asked Baal.
“Can you win?”
“It depends on how much power you have left.”
Then I noticed that the veins were spurting from the inside of my forearm.
‘You won’t be able to keep the devil in the next 10-20 minutes.’
Unlike Mina, who draws mana from people, I was maintaining the demon with my own strength.
Pur and Boone were using this ability at the same time, and they even summoned the first demon, Baal.
I'm glad I didn't fall already.
“Then what do we do now?”
Baal said as he blocked the wave from Agareth.
“Can you cut off the power that goes to Agareth for about five minutes?”
“You want to subdue Mina?”
"okay."
impossible.
Pur and Boone are too difficult to fight against Badin, and Baal is facing Agares.
There are only humans left, but with human power, Mina, who has become a monster, cannot be subdued.
Far from suppressing it, if you approach it, you might die of sin.
‘If only I had more power… … No, at least if there's something to make Mina come to her senses... … !’
That moment.
A considerable number of large troops appeared to the east as the surroundings flashed and gleamed. The one who led them... … ,
“Lionel?”
“Hello, Young Lady.”
Lionel, the grandson of my godmother and successor to the archduke of Locar.
Lionel, who had grown up and had one more head above my crown, smiled.
Lionel exclaimed.
“Locar, we support Dubleed.”
At the same time, someone appeared from the west with a light.
“Five thousand of the Holy Guns, I will join Dubleed.”
She was a Ingrid maiden.
and south.
“Schuhale, prepare to advance.”
Edgar Schuhale appeared.
Finally north.
With a dazzling light, the emperor appeared in gold armor.
When I saw the man standing at the vanguard, I hardened.
White horse Cain Tal paired with his father's black horse Tilwen.
Silver armor, the symbol of the Imperial Army, and a robe with a golden lion pattern.
A cast iron mask with horns in the center of the forehead.
Vincent Amitier, the hero of the Empire, said that the people cheered and the enemy trembled just by appearing on the battlefield.
He shouted, who appeared with the imperial army.
“Central Army, annihilate the special group that welcomed the imperial flag.”
Thump, Thump, Thump, Thump-!
Soldiers from all directions, announcing the battle, start stomping, and at the same time, wow! cheers erupted.
With such an army, he might be able to subdue Mina.
‘There the Duke came to Amity… … !’
I looked at Mina.
Duke Amitier took off his iron mask and looked at Mina, who was looking at him frantically.
“… … Yes, how did it happen?”
“… … .”
“How did it happen?”
“… … Don’t.”
"Mina."
"Don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look at me, don't look at me, don't look at me."
I said to Baal.
“Now.”
Hit Agareth!
Baal stretched out his hand, and a bud grew in a vacant lot that looked nothing like a wasteland.
It became a tree in an instant and wrapped around Agareth.
"this… … !”
Agareth shouted.
At the same time, I leapt to the base of Baal's wooden pole and ran to Mina and the Duke of Amity.
Duke Amitier looked at Mina with a bewildered expression.
“… … .”
"Look, don't look at me, don't look at me, father, father, ah, father, father, father."
Duke Amity closed his eyes tightly.
Little by little, Mina's appearance returned to her human form.
Her cheeks were still covered with fish scales, and her whites and pupils had not returned, but her face was recognizable.
She hid her face between her arms, which became her wings.
I hurriedly threw at her the chains of the light made of my divine power.
Kee eh-!!
As Mina let out her screams as if roaring, the Duke of Amityie shouted.
“LeBlaine!”
“Did you bring the magic squad? Hurry up and defeat Mina. Those who cannot use magic, retreat!”
“Who was your sister ?.”
At Duke Amitier's words, I glanced at him.
He asked with a stern expression on his face.
“Aren’t you feeling sorry for me?”
“It would be more pitiful for the people Mina killed to become like that.”
“I will not deny that she is guilty. However… … .”
“But because of the same words, Mina has become like this!”
I pounded his chest.
“Because you taught me those words! Teach me hypocrisy, teach me how to make excuses!”
“… … .”
“Why are you making excuses for war? Where are the victims and perpetrators? From the moment the war started, me and Mina and everyone else is nothing more than a slayer!”
“… … .”
I have expressed Mina with these words in the past.
It is said that Duke Amitier's first love resembles her as if she was born in another world.
But now I don't think so.
“Mina is an alter ego of Duke Amitier.”
“… … What?"
“Because I was raised that way.”
“… … .”
“I was taught that killing people in war had nothing to do with it, and that it was for the sake of the common people.”
“… … .”
“The reason Dubleed and Bunburn faced each other wasn’t because my father was evil, but because he didn’t meet the Duke’s standards, and there was jealousy that he had lost her mother, which he excused by saying, ‘Doubleed is not moral. You taught Mina how to make excuses!”
“… … .”
Duke Amitier looked at me blankly, like a man in shock.
“He taught me how to masquerade evil as good, so she became Mina that way!”
“… … .”
“But now you’re going to give me another excuse? Stop it!”
The Duke of Amity murmured.
“I’m not like that… … I have you… … .”
“Don't say you love me. It’s disgusting.”
“LeBlaine… … .”
“Did you really love us? Then there should be no discrimination.”
“… … .”
“Why did you love Mina more than me? Like your first love?”
“… … .”
“If you love Mina so much, why did you bring your troops here? Do you love me more this time?”
“… … .”
I burst out laughing.
"no? It wasn't Mina or me that the Duke loved, but the Duke himself. He loved his unfulfilled first love.”
“… … .”
“And we ended up like this with the Duke’s emotional play.”
“… … .”
Mina shouted.
"Ha, don't, don't, don't, don't, daddy's not bad, bad, me, not bad."
“… … .”
“Father, father, father, father, father, father.”
At that moment, Mina was arrested by the wizards.
Mina howled in her pain, and the expression of Duke Amitier's expression crumbled upon hearing the scream.
I took out the bow that was on my shoulder, hung an arrow, and pointed her bow at Mina.
“Le, Le Blaine, Le Blaine. Le Blaine, Le Blaine... … .”
[sister!]
“I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you.”
[Thanks for being my sister.]
“Take it, stole it, stole it, took it, took it, everything, everything, you took it, you, you, everything.”
[Let's be born as real sisters in the next life.]
I looked at Mina and said.
“No, Mina.”
“Le, Le Blaine, Le Blaine.”
“I never want to meet you in my next life.”
“Le, Le Blaine, Le Blaine, Le Blaine, Le Blaine.”
“Now let’s finish it.”
