Chapter 356 – 356. I Will Not Let You Die (1)
==========================
Next day.
Yushin waited for Savnak to come.
With a picnic basket full of chicken sandwiches made by the maids of Valencia Castle, famous for their culinary skills.
I’m sure you’ll be happy
He was gruff on the outside, but it was clear that he would eat the whole chicken sandwich.
“Why aren’t you coming?”
Yushin raised his head and murmured.
The place where the fierce battle with the demon king took place for several days.
They waited until noon in a clearing not far from El Cid’s hut.
But Savnak did not come. If he was at a close distance, he would have felt his presence, but he didn’t even feel it.
‘I’m not the type to be late for an appointment…. Is there anything wrong?’
Savnak possessed a sincere and sincere personality like a sharp blade, befitting the demon king of swords who had trained his sword for hundreds of years.
Something was very strange.
Excited at the thought of sword fighting, there was no way I would be late for an appointment, unless I knew if I had waited at the meeting place from the day before.
Where did he disappear to after promising to fight swords the next day? Yushin, who was looking at the clear sky today, frowned as if he felt an ominous feeling creeping up on him.
“Master!”
When he is feeling ominous,
Alone and Leticia ran to the empty lot where Yushin was standing.
The blonde high elf girl took an empty plate,
Her red-haired high elf daughter was holding a toy bracelet.
After seeing him, Yushin became convinced of the sense of fire in his heart. The conviction that the Demon King of Heat broke the promise he made yesterday and left.
“What about that plate?”
“I gave the devil an apple pie yesterday…. There was an empty plate in the seat he handed over the apple pie. And Leticia’s stuff too.”
“…….”
If she were the kind of woman who would never forget the slightest grace, she would have handed the empty plate directly to Alone.
But that was not the case,
It meant that she left on her own.
Yushin, who thought something had happened to Savnak, focused on the fact that she left on her own.
‘Why… Why did you leave? To the subject who promised to fight swords tomorrow as well. Even though he grumbled, he got along well with Alone and Leticia….’
She recalled the six days spent with Savnak.
She obviously
I was delighted with the time we spent together.
Everyone who spent time with her knew that Savnak was genuinely happy with the time, although it was not revealed due to her characteristic disingenuous personality.
That’s why I had my doubts.
Why did you leave without a word?
“… You are there, Sir El Cid.”
Yushin opened his mouth.
To the shade under the tree,
She spoke softly, as if in a small whisper.
No sooner had she finished her words, she slowly stepped out of the shadows as the elf woman with her pale purple hair hanging down to her waist gave her a worried expression.
“Sir El Cid… Do you know where Savnak has gone?”
“Mister Gilead.”
“If she just left voluntarily, I have no intention of holding her back. But if something goes wrong….”
“Are you going after Savnak?”
To El’s question, Yushin answered silently.
In that quiet silence,
The oath of the elves let out a worried sigh.
Because he learned Yushin’s true feelings through silence, L had no choice but to fall into a deep depression. It was because Yushin would surely follow after him if he informed him of Savnak’s whereabouts.
‘It’s different from the strong players I’ve dealt with so far. This time, the devil’s oath… , Because Tuma is involved. Touma is a disaster with enough power to annihilate mankind, and a plague that brings chaos. You must never meet Tuma.’
Elle, who never wanted Yushin to get hurt, refused to tell her about Savnak’s whereabouts, even if she hated her.
She may be reckless.
Just like she always has been.
Savnak is the enemy. He is the mastermind behind the massacre and massacre of numerous compatriots. I couldn’t understand Yushin feeling the same affection for such a monster as a colleague.
“… I can’t tell.”
“Sir El Cid.”
“Mr. Gilead, please forget Savnak now. Why do you have attachments to Savnak? Savnak is the demon lord of the heat wave… , Are our enemies.”
El, who said that to Yushin, felt her chest tingle.
Savnak?
The Demon King of the heat wave was good.
L was only saddened to be given the role of a villain who had to forcibly block Yushin’s path. She feared that in any case she would end up hating him irrevocably, and she was genuinely concerned about it.
“Savnak is in danger. Seeing Sir El Cid stop me fiercely… It must be something related to the oath.”
At Yushin’s words, the oath of the elves bit his lip and nodded.
I unintentionally gave a clue.
But that was it.
Yushin only thought that the beast of lust was aiming for Subnak, but he did not know that the devil’s oath was holding Subnak’s life.
‘If I keep my mouth shut like this… Mr. Gilead will never be in danger. Even if you end up being hated by Mr. Gilead, even if you won’t be forgiven for the rest of your life…. Mr. Gilead, I don’t want to put you in danger.’
The Devil’s Oath is the worst monster that tore the six demon lords to pieces in one fell swoop. Besides, Tuma was currently in the wilderness, a neutral zone that was free from any interference from pledgers.
In other words,
If Yushin wields hostility towards Tuma… He meant that Tuma would die a miserable death.
“Please. Please teach me.”
Yushin lowered his head.
I bow my head respectfully,
I asked L with sincerity.
Seeing Yushin lowering her head for Savnak, El shook her shoulders. As she swallowed her saliva, she tried to hold on to her trembling heart.
“No…. I can never tell you.”
As El closed her eyes, she hardened her heart like a mantis stone.
Can never tell
She reiterated her position again.
She bit her lip hard in resentment.
I’d rather not show off. With her ears covered, she should have ignored Yushin’s call. Elle bitterly regretted stepping out in front of her own restoration.
“Wait, Grand Master… !”
“I’m not sure what’s going on… Could you please tell me where Savnak has gone?”
The two disciples, who were looking at Yushin earnestly appealing to El, approached him.
Did you want to join the master’s will?
Alone and Leticia, together with Yushin, asked L to see if they had become attached to Savnak, whom they had been hanging out with.
“Your master might be in danger. No, it would definitely be dangerous. Even ten lives is not enough.”
El explained to Alone and Leticia that even the Yushin would put her life in danger.
You should never send a Yushin.
She hoped that Yushin’s two disciples would help her convince Yushin.
However, Alone and Leticia firmly supported the Yushin despite such aspirations.
“I-I know… ! What did Savnak do? But I don’t want Savnak to be left alone and desolate. I know very well how lonely life can be.”
At Alone’s words, El had to swallow her saliva as her mouth trembled.
It’s just childish coercion.
However, it was piercing her heart as sharp as stabbing her lungs.
Hearing her plea for restoration and Alone’s request, El threw out her anguish, distorting her face as if she would shed tears at any moment.
She looked at Yushin and Alone, and at Leticia, who was expressing her strong will while biting her lips.
“…….”
At their earnest pleas,
At their earnest request,
Eventually, the oath of the elves let go of the power that had been concentrating on her face to the point that her cheeks trembled, and she let out a deep sigh.
“Whoa… OK, I’ll teach you. However, there is one condition that Mr. Gilead must abide by.”
After clearing her confused mind,
L, who had a solemn and serious expression, opened her mouth to Yushin.
* * *
After leaving the elves’ realm, Savnak headed straight to the rocky area located in the northern area.
A rocky area where not a single blade of grass grows.
I stepped into an empty space where not even a speck of life’s favor and wonder existed.
Because he didn’t want to bother anymore.
It seemed that if I inadvertently turned my head, the regret would only grow.
As soon as Savnak left the elves’ territory, he arrived at the place of death where Tuma was waiting.
-Why are you here now? There must still be half a day left….
“Because it is no longer necessary.”
-…….
It was difficult for the red-shaped monster to understand Savnak’s words full of resoluteness, so he kept his silence.
Most of the demons who were given the right to live or die ran away desperately, begging for their lives or trying to live a little longer.
Of course, Tuma showed them no mercy.
The demons who hung on begging for their lives died without a single exception. Also, the demons who had fled to the edge of the continent with transfer magic chased them to the end and annihilated them.
It was the first time.
The devil appeared proudly in front of him.
-Is there any free time?
Touma asked.
Savnak replied to that.
“None. So kill me I swore on your name, but in the end I couldn’t keep it. To the devil, a pact is immortal. Even if you die, there is no time left.”
-Savnak, I salute you for your will.
The red armor that covered Tuma’s whole body began to vibrate wildly like flames.
Like the sea of fire that swallowed the city,
It burned fiercely and emitted coercive heat.
As the Devil’s Oathsman stretched out his hand, the heat emanating from the armor coalesced and was smelted into a huge halberd reminiscent of a scythe.
-The one who pronounces the mandate of heaven will put the crown of death on those who break covenants and oaths.
Touma gripped his halberd with both hands.
The huge halberd, which reached a whopping 2 meters, was directed at Savnak.
As an instrument of execution that punished countless demons,
It was to judge the demon king of the heat wave, who decided to die proudly.
“Ah. I have one last thing I want to say.”
– I will listen.
Standing proudly in front of Touma,
Savnak, who was waiting for death, opened his eyes that had been closed for a while and opened his mouth.
“To the Demon King Slayer… Please leave without a word and tell me I’m sorry I couldn’t keep my promise to fight swords.”
-Don’t tell me.
Roaring.
The halberd was engulfed in flames.
The scythe of usurping the throne, the kidney of Touma, which is said to drop demons who have betrayed pacts and oaths into the abyss of hell, began spewing out hellfire.
“Who wants to die!”
As the weapon that sent opponents to hell was about to swing, black lightning suddenly fell from the sky.
Like lightning falling into the sky,
It flew towards the oath-bearer who was aiming for Savnak’s life.
It was a thunderbolt that exceeded the output of seven embers. The demon king slayer, who fell from the sky with a lightning-clad sword, immediately aimed for the red armored ghost.
-Something not the same.
Turning the halberd aimed at Savnak, Tuma cut off the thunderbolt that was about to split his head in an instant.
Faaaaa!!!
Followed by a halberd,
I blew away the youngster who rushed at me with black lightning wrapped around me.
“Cheuk!!”
Single blow.
Not wielding a halberd,
In an instant, he defeated the Demon Lord Slayer who had reached Seven Amber with a simple act.
“Yu, Yushin Gilead——?!”
Savnak shouted in surprise.
A pulsating black thunderbolt.
Even the stupid act of rushing at the devil’s oath.
Yushin Gilead was certain. There was no one else who would commit such an eccentricity as to take out one’s soul.
– You dare to interfere with the referee!!
Touma let out an angry roar.
And then,
Waves of white hit the red armor.
“I will never tolerate any harm done to Mr. Gilead, Tuma.”
An elf woman as beautiful as a pure white lily appeared.
With her pale purple hair hanging down,
She was a noble woman dressed in oriental clothing.
The oath of the elves, El Cid.
El, holding her sharp, piercing sword, aimed the tip of her sword at Touma, unleashing all the power of the oath.
