Chapter 300 – The Cold Blooded King.
It looks back at them without saying anything, and then aims something strangely shaped like an empty hole where the hand should be, at Erica. Because of this, he could instinctively know that it was an attack, but Usher couldn’t do anything. Right now, Belka was lying in his arms with the same red on her lips as mine. Diana and Erica also couldn’t move, staring blankly at the fallen Belka. The first to move in that situation was none other than Krikaliev.
He grabbed the arm that had been aimed at Erica and pushed it away, deflecting the shot. Kwajangchang! Because of this, something shot from his hand pierced the woman in the window instead of Erica, and the large stained glass was shattered and rainwater poured down. The guy raises his other hand as if trying to free Krikaliev from his arm, but before that, he uses the arm of the guy he was holding on to overturn him and throws him away. In the process, part of his arm was left in Krikaliev’s hand with a crackling sound.
“Cool! Damn it. I never thought something like that would happen again.”
“Master! Are you okay?!”
“Because I’m fine. Take care of the little girl first.”
“Oh, yes.”
Diana nodded at his words and approached Belka, who collapsed in Usher’s arms.
“Excuse me for a minute.”
“Ah.”
Usher could barely come to his senses at the sight of her approaching him. After all, I had seen Diana heal Belka’s ankle just yesterday. So I thought she might be able to cure her Belka. Just like that, she was watching Diana come up to her girl and offer her hand.
“…What is this?”
“What? Why nothing…”
However, no matter how long she waited, there was no sign of green light coming out of her hand, and Usher also questioned it. The voice of Krikaliev is heard.
“Ha, as expected.”
“Master, for whatever reason.”
“It must have been because of him.”
At Diana’s question, he stood up using Barisada as a staff.
“I didn’t mean to proceed with the matter in such a hurry… I can’t help it. Evacuate people from the Holy Land right now.”
“If you call the Paladins…!”
Kaga River! However, Diana’s words could not continue. Where it flew, something else flew in, and Krikaliev used Barisada to knock them out. Rolling on the ground, they were bullets bent like drills.
“You still don’t know?
“Yes?!”
“The Paladin’s magic will be the same as yours.”
In the meantime, the flying bullets aim at him.
“So. I’m killing time.”
“Is there anything we can do? Master like this again…”
Looking at her like that, Krikaliev barely stood upright.
“Yes, so. Go find what you can.”
“…That.”
“Quick!! There’s no time for fooling around! Take the little girl!”
At his pressing words, Diana bit her lip and looked at Usher and the girls. Eventually, she grabbed Erica’s hand, who was standing there blankly, and called for Usher.
“Go fast! We’re running out of time!”
Krikaliev, who watched them go away like that, soon let out a sigh of pain.
“Kuheu, it hurts so badly, but this.”
He looked at his side as he parried the three bullets that flew back to Barisada. Even if you couldn’t see it directly, you could feel the three bullets burrowing inside and distorting the intricately intertwined structures. It was so lethal. Regardless of his will, when the golem’s body tried to recover, the intervening bullets prevented it from recovering and made more blood flow.
“I’ve been aiming for the head and chest since before. You’re persistent.”
If he had been like that from the beginning, he would have died long ago, but why did he aim for her side? I realized that he had been carrying Barisada all along.
“Ha, that’s amazing.”
Since Krikaliev muttered that, he could see the darkness approaching, as if he had judged that it was useless to deal with him just by firing bullets.
“As expected, the advance guard of the Tsushima era.”
Demons that were recorded in the Holy Land as being destroyed or sealed away by the gods in the distant past. Even if no one else knew, Krikaliev could notice that the method of canceling Diana’s magic was distinctly different from that of him, the wizards, and the witches. If so, I could understand why he didn’t notice his presence in the first place, even with his body. He doesn’t know where or how he awoke, but it was clear that he was mostly intact despite being sealed away for so many years. In fact, he continues to bleed from bullets stuck in his body, and he is not a complete golem body.
He didn’t know how much longer he could hold out in this condition.
“…Well, it’s not easy.”
However, even if it was impossible, even if it was impossible, he could not let go of his hand holding Barisada because he had a job he had to shoulder.
“Quickly evacuate the people! Quickly!”
“Saint? What the hell is going on?”
The knights were surprised to see Diana rushing in with Usher holding the bleeding girl, but she didn’t even have time to tell them what to say. She forced herself to speak calmly, as she still had to explain.
“The demon of the Tsushima Age has awakened. Everyone needs to be evacuated.”
“Are you referring to an ancient demon that was sealed in the Holy Land?!”
The knights were surprised as if they had finally realized. In fact, it was a different existence than they say, but there is no time to explain.
“So hurry up and tell everyone! We have to leave the Holy Land!”
They looked at each other for a long time, but felt the ground they were standing on tremble and began to move hastily, as if barely realizing the seriousness.
“And the doctor! Where is the doctor?!”
Usher followed Diana and climbed into the carriage with the doctor. He sat in the corner of the wide carriage and stared blankly at Belka, who was hidden by the doctor. Why! A series of loud noises resounded outside the running wagon and thumps! Thud! The ground shakes, the wagons move, and the sound of people wandering around in confusion is heard. And yet, all these sounds seemed to be coming from far away. Only Belka’s figure was visible. Then her doctor is seen sighing and withdrawing from her.
“Miss Lois, she…”
Diana asked her, but she shook her head.
“I’ve had too many vital organs injured. I can’t stop the bleeding.”
“Wait a minute. If it’s now, I’ll do something!”
Diana hurriedly approached Belka at her words and held out her hands, but still her hands did not shine. Even though the outer walls of the Holy Land were approaching outside the window.
“Why! Why!! Why can’t it?! Why, right now! Doesn’t this fucking magic come out?!”
Again and again she stretched out her hand, but her hand did not shine. In the end, it was when Diana sat down in front of Belka.
“Uh, Sher.”
He heard the girl’s voice calling him in a small whisper. Usher approached, mesmerized by him, and stood beside her. The golden light that we faced like that was full of dew and swaying. The girl gasped several times, catching her breath and barely opening her mouth.
“I’m sorry. Actually, I… When I was with that wizard back then. Heh, I thought I was more comfortable than Usher.”
Belka’s gold trembled and turned away from him, breaking the girl’s heart.
“I thought being with Usher was boring.”
The girl’s rapid breathing constantly interrupted her speech.
“I thought it felt good to accept another man’s.”
The blood dripping from her mouth didn’t stop.
“So. Usher. Forget about me, who is so lousy.”
What should he say to the girl who has finally finished all of her words?
“”Lie.””
Usher realized that his and Erica’s voices overlapped. Erica was standing next to him in tears. Usher forcibly opened his mouth, even though his throat kept blocking him from speaking.
“Please… Belka. Please don’t tell such obvious lies.”
Belka never lied. She always wiggled her hands without even looking him in the eye when she lied, albeit clumsily. You were so lovely. He was always disappointed that he couldn’t protect you who always stood by me. I was so resentful for hurting you. But if only I had one more chance.
“Let me always protect you.”
“Ah…”
The girl’s golden light then looked straight at him. Her golden light was full of concern for him. I really wanted to protect it this time. I thought I would protect the girl this time. But why
“I’m sorry. Usher. I’ve already been soiled by others several times. Because I’m so greedy…”
The girl’s worries eventually turn into tears and flow down. He had something to say. But now, before it’s too late, I have something to say.
“But Usher. If the memories with me make you feel so painful and sad… Please forget me.”
Rather, he hoped that the girl would resent him for his fault. But in the end, what Belka kept on her lips was his concern. It was the first and last wish she asked of Usher. How cruel is that only wish?
“Please, don’t say that.”
Please don’t erase the moments I spent with you in the name of memories. The moments I met and spent with you were like a miracle to me. Fragments of memories that flowed along with tears were gradually crumbling. Gold slowly fading away. Usher’s closing eyelids couldn’t be more frightening. He buried her face in her girl’s chest and begged.
“Please, Belka.”
Please dear Please don’t move this time. I didn’t want to show you anything like crying. I just wanted a daily life where I started the day with you, opened my eyes together, ate, worked, played, and fell asleep again. I knew that forever was an impossible dream. But why didn’t I realize it? That beautiful flowers wither easily.
“Belka…!”
It’s warm and cozy, and the warmth disappears from the hand I’ve always wanted to hold. Even if you try to hug and pick you up as you flow down piece by piece, it flows down between her fingers. She tried to insert her fingers between each of the girl’s fingers, but her hand, which always held his hand, didn’t move. Belka could no longer hold his hand. No matter how long he waited, the girl’s golden light did not contain him again. He cried out as he felt the warm blood on her hand cool.
The world collapsed without a sound that day.
