Chapter 29 – The Reason I Can’t Go Back (2)
================
Yushin said to Allen with the lightning sword Karus hanging down.
“Go back quietly.”
“I hate to die!!”
Allen swung her sword.
The dragon chaser and the lightning sword collided, and the fight between the knights of the seven kingdom swords began.
The sword fighting was developed overwhelmingly in Yushin’s favor. Because Allen’s sword did not contain sincerity. An obvious murderous, ferocious instinct. The sources that had always been Allen’s strength were missing.
“Fight straight.”
“My, how could I… Kill my brother… So let’s go back with me, huh?”
“Tell me how many times you won’t go back.”
Lightning thundered and struck the dragon chaser.
The bastard sword that completely overpowered the high elf warrior was helplessly pushed away.
If Allen had been sincere, the fight would have flowed on an equal footing. But Allen couldn’t be more serious. To her, Yushin Gilead was more important than her life, so even if she was wounded and fell down, he couldn’t hurt him.
“It was the kingdom that abandoned me.”
“I will be by your side forever. I will kill all those who touch my brother! I’ll be fine…”
“It only encourages turmoil. It’s a problem that will be solved if only one of me disappears. There is no regret in the kingdom now. It doesn’t matter what happens to the Kingdom of Valois in the future.”
“So what about me? Are you going to throw me away too?”
Allen asked.
With a trembling voice, with trembling gestures.
Like a child who has lost her mother’s hand, she looked at Yushin with her teary eyes.
Yushin couldn’t answer that question. He pressed his lips together, he hesitated to answer. Because saying that there is no lingering was a lie. It was impossible for him to cut off the life he had spent in the kingdom and the bonds he had built there overnight. That’s why Yushin looked at Allen and hesitated about her decision.
“Is it because of that woman? That elf is the culprit! If only it wasn’t for that damn bitch!!”
Allen turned her head.
After glaring hard at Ardena, who was watching from behind, Allen’s murderous intent was directed at Ardena.
Wielding her sword, he tried to target Ardena. But Yushin stood in the way. After swinging her thunderbolt sword, causing her thunderbolt, Arlen completely stopped her from targeting Ardena.
“Don’t look away. If I had the intent to kill, you would have been mortally wounded by now.”
“Why are you covering that elf!”
“I told you, I gave up my attachment to the kingdom. My relationship with the kingdom is now over.”
“Whoever wants!!”
The hesitant intent to kill finally turned toward Yushin. Allen shouted loudly and aimed at Yushin.
Sword and sword collided.
As a loud roar rang out, the two swordsmen revealed their hostility towards each other.
The dragon chaser and the thunderbolt sword, whenever they collided, a radiance that pushed back the pitch-darkness of the night sky erupted. The surrounding terrain completely collapsed at the same time as intense energy was emitted, making it difficult to breathe.
“Are you going to forget? Then me?! What am I going to be What am I to my brother! Until now, I’ve only looked at you until now!!”
“Allen!”
“There’s no way my brother would say that to me! It’s clear that you’re being tricked by the elves. That he was brainwashed So, I will take her brother to the kingdom and take care of him!”
“Don’t look away. You know better that I’m fine.”
Allen turned away from reality.
Because she just couldn’t find the courage to accept reality.
So she was in denial.
She tried to deny everything.
What is happening now is a terrible nightmare. A nightmare with no sense of reality. There is only one way to break the nightmare, and there is only one way to bring Yushin, who is apparently under the spell of the elves, back to the kingdom for treatment.
“Give up now. The Yushin Gilead you knew is no more.”
Yushin quickly swung the lightning sword.
In front of a lightning fast attack, Allen let go of the dragon chaser.
Allen was very tired.
She had consumed most of her strength in a fierce battle with Ardena. Besides, Allen was now mentally driven. Unless they have a strong will to kill, dragon chasers do not lend their power to their owners. In the end, Allen had no choice but to be pushed back by Yushin.
“Don’t go…”
Allen, who lost his sword and sat down on the floor, reached out and clung to Yushin.
I desperately grabbed her by the collar.
I feel like if I let go of this, we won’t be able to meet again.
Roxfield’s mad dog. Kingdom Seven Swords 2 seats. Who would think this pathetic woman was Allen Roxfield? Now Allen was nothing more than a sentimental girl who was afraid that the love she depended on would go away.
“Let go.”
“I won’t let go.”
“You have a family.”
“I don’t care about my family! It’s a family that has treated me like a monster since I was a child. My brother was the only person in the kingdom who treated me normally!”
“…..”
Allen cried and blew and hung on.
She held her body with both hands while shedding tears to the point that her face was a mess.
I will never let go.
‘Cause you can never give up
She never gave up.
You can even say it’s ugly. Honor? Pride? Those things are just fine. Because I had something I wanted to hold on to even throwing those things away. Even if you are severely sold, even if you are coldly treated. I will never let go of this hand.
“…Okay, I lost.”
Due to Allen’s desperate determination, Yushin eventually had to raise her hands.
She let out a deep sigh.
In the end, it was Yushin who declared defeat.
There was no way she could cut ties from her past so easily. The time with Allen was also a very precious relationship for Yushin. She didn’t want to give up. Although she deliberately maintained a ruthless attitude for her sake, she couldn’t help but feel weak in front of Allen, who did not let go of her hand until the end.
“Shall we go together? To the elves.”
Yushin held out her hand.
At this question, Allen put on a puzzled expression for a moment. But she answered as she nodded her head.
“Yes! Wherever my brother is!”
I will follow you to the end.
So please let me stay by your side
To go to a country teeming with filthy elves is to vomit. However, there is a restoration in the country of elves. Allen decided, without the slightest hesitation, that she would follow her to the elven country.
“Is that okay?”
Yushin asked.
At that question, Ardena showed hesitation.
Bringing that monster into the country of elves? The mad dog of the Roxfield family who doesn’t know what to do, who is sure to cause a big accident?
It would be the perfect thing for the Elves to recruit two of the Kingdom Seven Swords to protect the Kingdom of Valua. But the problem was the danger that a woman named Allen Roxfield had. Her power, coupled with her danger, is feared.
“…I don’t know.”
Ardena looked away.
She said she didn’t see anything.
She was willing to adapt her treatment of Allen Rocksfield to the autonomy of Yushin.
She neither affirmed nor denied.
It was an answer uncharacteristic of an elven warrior commander who always had a strong sense of responsibility. Could it be because she saw Allen’s blind love for Yushin? She made an emotional decision. Ardena has condoned her Allen’s presence, blaming it on her own indecision.
“Hey, long ears. If you cross my brother, I know I will kill you.”
“Allen, nice words.”
“Hey, elf. If you look after my brother, I know how to hold a funeral.”
“It sounds much nobler.”
Yushin stroked her hair.
Then Allen made her laugh with her tear-stained face.
“Let’s cover our faces first. That ugly face has become even more messed up.”
“I wasn’t ugly.”
“I thought I was handsome until I was twelve.”
Yushin covered her Allen’s face with the robe she was wearing.
Took out her handkerchief.
After wiping Allen’s messy face, she held her handkerchief to her nose. Then she blew her nose as hard as she could on Allen with a whooping sound.
“There are many empty rooms in Valencia Castle.”
“Kuk!”
Yushin asked.
At that question, Ardena put on an expression that seemed to have been driven into her single shot.
To bring that monster into the castle!
As I thought, I desperately wanted to oppose it.
But I couldn’t.
It was because she did not know what major accident she would commit if she let Allen Locksfield freely graze in the country of elves. She is a ticking time bomb She had to be closely watched by her side lest she be triggered.
“Thank you.”
Yushin said thanks.
And she half-forced her Allen’s head down.
“If you make a fuss in Valencia Castle, I will kick you out right away! Be careful, mad dog. I will keep an eye on you.”
Ardena shouted and jerked her head away.
What have I done?
Ardena herself was also confused.
Her heart was weakened.
She felt sorry for Allen, desperately clinging to Yushin. This is because Ardena herself also had a similar appearance to Allen.
‘Master…’
Farewell to the master.
It was over 300 years ago, but I still remember it vividly.
When the teacher who taught her swordsmanship suddenly bid her farewell, then Ardena, like Allen now, threw her face away and desperately clung to it.
But the result was just the opposite.
Allen finally succeeded in grabbing Yushin’s hand. However, Ardena eventually let go of her mentor. She and she have not been able to reunite with Master until now, 300 years later.
* * *
There was a man watching the ending of Yushin Gilead and Allen Roxfield.
The presence was completely blocked.
It was to the extent that he couldn’t even detect the 2nd and 3rd swords of the kingdom, which were among the strongest in the kingdom of Valua.
“If it’s the result of your choice, you should respect it as elders. Thanks to that, the kingdom will become noisy like a beehive.”
Kingdom first sword,
Heinkel Nvidia.
Foreseeing that Yushin and Allen would eventually come into contact, he appeared in the Aquitaine Mountains, a border area. It was to see their choices with both eyes.
Heinkel expected that if he stepped forward, he would be intercepted by the Elves of Liberia. And that prediction was right. At the same time that Heinkel appeared in the Aquitaine Mountains, evil ties also appeared in the Elven country.
“Is that you too? The last time we met was over 200 years ago, Reinhilder?”
“Now my name is Heinkel. Heinkel Nvidia.”
Heinkel said.
At that, the shadow glaring at Heinkel from under the shade of the tree nodded his head.
“Take good care of my disciple. I know we’re not in a relationship to ask each other, but you’re the only person in the Elf country to ask for.”
“It’s shameless.”
“You elves must be in debt to me. I would appreciate it if you could help me with the meaning of paying off the debt.”
“He takes care of his pupil quite frugally. I guess it’s because it’s the same ‘Another One’?”
“The generation gap isn’t that great.”
Heinkel nodded meekly.
Another One.
Those who violated the providence of the world.
Heinkel, like Yushin, is another one from another world. The red scars hidden under his coat were proving it. Since he has thoroughly hidden his scars, the only one who knows that he is another one is the elf in front of him.
“It has always been us who moved the balance and providence of the world. Another One, beings from another world who have received the power of God. Some became emperors, some became demon kings. Although not revealed on the surface, it is no exaggeration to say that the current world was built by us, Another One.”
“I have been here all this time to keep an eye on you.”
“…No matter how elf you are, isn’t it time for you to die soon, El?”
“I’ll take those words back. Does it make sense for an ordinary human being to live for over 200 years?”
Upon hearing his name, the elf walked out of the shade of the tree that was hiding.
L.
Her full name is El Cid.
El Cid. The strongest swordsman who leads the warrior generals of the elves and is respected and respected by all elves. Along with Heinkel Nvidia, he was also the strongest man who was restricted from participating in war by international law.
“I haven’t crossed the border yet. Look at it, it’s narrowly straddling the borders of Valois.”
“…This human being tricked.”
“I didn’t know that the first warrior commander would take such a precious step. It is a breach of covenant. You are now stepping on the border of the kingdom of Valois with both feet.”
“Just as you came here because you were worried about your student, I also came because I was worried about you.”
“Student?”
At El’s words, Heinkel turned his head.
This mystic hag has a disciple?
What kind of wind blew and the mysophobic patient brought in a disciple?
“Ardena Valencia. I taught about 300 years ago. He is still my proud disciple.”
“Is this a coincidence? Coincidence is staggering.”
“The current world is created by the overlapping of numerous coincidences. A coincidence that someone thinks is insignificant, but for someone, it can change the decision of life.”
“Are you going to teach me philosophy, old woman?”
“Damn you human. Die.”
El gritted his teeth at Heinkel’s teasing.
Still a fucking bastard
Even though it was the first time they had met in over 200 years, they were angry.
