Chapter 17: The Death of the Gunman

Exactly, what happened?

If you just talk about the results, then you can summarize the death of Lancer in just one sentence, but if you want to summarize it so simply, it is really a bit reckless. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Ahem"

Coughing up blood, the blue spearman is actually not dead, but by now, it is no different from death.

Half of his body had been torn to pieces, his entire right arm had disappeared, half of his abdomen seemed to have been torn apart by a giant claw, and the red magic spear was now quietly inserted only six meters away from Lancer's body, as if it had never been used to kill.

The whole body was as miserable as if it had been scorched by flames but sprayed by liquid nitrogen, scorched black and ice marks, and blood and water could not be stopped.

Then, behind the figure, what remained radioactively, was the 'reality' that barely survived after Knight's full blow.

Hula-la-la...

To the left of the broken stone ravine, there was a blazing red flame, which was obviously without fuel, but it was still burning violently, just standing next to it, as if it was about to melt, making people feel powerless and frightened, but unable to move.

“・・・”

On the right, there is a turbid iceberg, which turned into a curtain wall in the rain, and the miserable white ice mountain is actually only about six meters high, but the coverage area of that one is probably about the same as the sea of fire on the other side, right?

"Ahem..."

He coughed vigorously, and blood foamed from his throat.

Really, how can there be such a strong guy?

Lancer looked up sadly, staring at the silver figure that was still standing, but had begun to breathe.

"Is this your treasure?"

It's really deceiving... I thought that the gun was a treasure for charging, but did it turn out to be a throwing gun? And it was that weird throw...

"Yes, Lancer, that's my Noble Phantasm"

What the lancer was saying, Rodriit understood.

After answering the question that did not need to be answered, the silver knight paused for a moment and stepped forward, and with a casual move, the double-edged spear that had just exploded, still burning at one end and still cold at the other end, spiraled up from behind Lancer and returned to the knight's hand.

"The Storm Lord's Spear... The turmoil, the turbulence, the roar that was born in the intertwining of ice and fire, the roar is the wind, the source is the mastery, expansion and contraction, stillness and movement, this is my treasure. ”

Honestly, then, when he finished speaking, Knight was already standing in front of Lancer.

"Ahem... But it's still not wind, it's still ice and fire..."

"Yes, even if it has good wishes, but in the end it is just a man-made thing, and even if it is infused with magic, it is still an imitation..."

"Imitation?"

"Yes, it's a parody..."

In Lancer's surprised gaze, Rod nodded, his face a little hesitant.

"You know, lancer, I envy you"

He raised his sword and pointed it at Lancer's heart.

In fact, there is no need to start, Lancer is already dead, and after being hit by such a powerful blow, what Lancer has left here now is nothing more than the residue of his ability to continue and his own will, and even the puppet is much more advanced than such a wreckage.

Even if you leave it alone, you only have a few minutes left to live, right?

Then, it will be gone, with nothing left and nothing to take with you.

"Do you envy me for having a king?"

Shaking his head with a wry smile, just this action made the remaining parts of his body burst out of severe pain, and he was still persistently maintaining the continuity of his body, so that his own spirit core was shattered, and he was tormented by pain over and over again and had no choice...

The internal organs, from the heart and lungs to the liver and spleen, I am afraid that they have all been shattered, right?

But that's it, Lancer still has to make it clear to Knight and ask questions.

"Listen, knight, you're wrong, a knight with a king to be loyal to isn't necessarily something to be envied... Especially me, you know what kind of filthy person I am..."

“・・・”

The rain curtain is bigger.

Rodritte returned to his expressionless appearance, standing in the rain.

"Do you still envy me? betray the king, and then atone for your sins? is it beautiful? Rodriette Saltisius?!"

Lancer's roar was accompanied by scraps of flesh, flying through the air, hysterical.

"Wake up!!You're the one to be envied!!You've never wavered from beginning to end, do you know how much I want to be you?! to be recognized, promised, what's the point of this kind of thing!!!!!"

This kind of thing...

"Not right"

Rodriette shook his head.

"It's not like that"

Something, wrong from the start.

"Lancer, from the very beginning, was wrong, it wasn't like that"

The knight stared at the beastly lancer with a real regret.

"At first I thought we could talk, but now it seems, lancer, there are places where you did something wrong that was enough to put you to shame"

"What?"

The blue knight was startled at first, he opened and closed his mouth, but he could only ask dryly.

"Your reason, why did you follow your king in the first place?"

yes...

Why?

The memory of the spearman is as if he flew back to the distant past, the day when he became famous.

Songs, feasts, heroic epics, wise kings and his loyal knights.

"Because the king is right and wise, isn't he?"

Knight's voice seemed to come from the fog, making Lancer unable to distinguish reality, and the coldness and weakness of his whole body were ambiguously entangled by this blurred boundary, making it impossible to tell whether it was a conjecture caused by weakness.

"...

Lancer nodded, replying.

The king is naturally virtuous, and it is impossible for an unvirtuous king to attract an upright knight.

Isn't that the one you are loyal to is the same king?

But in my heart, there is another voice roaring angrily, revealing the resentment buried deep in my heart.

That's the truth! But it's not all!

"But I was betrayed by the king."

The spearman shook his head in annoyance.

"Not right"

But even Knight was reluctant to be on his side.

"It was you who betrayed the king, and, moreover, betrayed your faith"

No mercy.

"You have what I don't have, but you have trampled the glory under your feet twice, and even now, I really understand that you have not repented at all, but are just looking for a hypocrisy that will make you self-satisfied!"

Rodriit said loudly.

To the only audience.

"Lancer, you keep saying that your only desire to go into battle is to have your lord victorious, but is that really the case? Can you entrust your last pride to this?"

That's rightfully so!

Lancer sneered as he thought so.

"Of course, my only wish is to hold a cup for my master, which is a stain on my life"

It is true that he has not been fully loyal to his king, he has committed a great sin, and all he has to do is atone for his sins. Knight is right at this point, but, in this addition, it is indeed an insult to himself.

It's such a narrow guy...

"If you're holding a grudge against what I said to you the other day, you don't have to make me laugh at your assertiveness, knight."

Even if he is defeated, he is a far more noble knight than this guy.

"Are you lying again?"

Knight stared coldly at the smiling man, but there was a deep disdain in his eyes.

"Why should you make yourself look like a tragic hero when you have made a mistake? You have taken the queen away, this is unrighteousness, it is to be reconciled with the monarch, this is disrespect, it is unkindness to bring the maiden who can already rely on herself into an embarrassing situation again. ”

I don't like it, and I feel a strong disgust for some reason.

"Why can't you take responsibility? Dilumudo Audina? People can make mistakes, because there is only one wrong mistake, which is not called a mistake, but to make mistakes again and again is to be foolish. If you want to atone for your sins, to whom?"

“・・・”

"King?"

"Yes..."

"Lying, the substitute of the master as the king did hide from me for a while, and made everyone think so, but, anyone should understand, apologizing to a stranger is useless to the person you have hurt, you cut your father, but on the side of the street to a beggar to seek comfort in your heart, what kind of atonement is this?

“・・・”

"So, is that the girl?"

"...

This time, he shook his head decisively.

"Good thing you understand"

didn't say any more, kept running away, and even regarded his master's fiancée as a tiger, putting himself in an absolutely embarrassing lancer, even though he was apologetic to the girl, but at the end of the day, he was still a fool. He probably never thought of anything more from 'apologies', did he?

In a strange land, she is about to marry a strange man, and such a young girl asks for help from the knight of her dreams, and the knight also romantically betrays her king.

What a shame is this... I'm afraid Lancer thinks more like this now, right?

Rodritte couldn't help but feel sarcasm.

But what if it was me?

I asked myself, but I smiled.

No, it's okay... Just follow what you think in your heart, and that's the only way to go, right?

Finally, he walked in front of Lancer, and on the devastated open field, the silver knight pulled out the yellow magic spear on his right shoulder, threw it on the ground, and then raised his sword high.

"You're just wailing in despair about your own defiled chivalry, lancer"

With a slash, blood splattered, and Lancer's head flew into the sky with a look of confusion and shame.

"Self-satisfied people... Don't do this in the future, face it well, and then really apologize..."

Click...

The head rattled on the ground like a water-filled skin.

Lancer's world was suddenly dark.

All functions stopped, and the battle of the Lancer was completely over.

"This time, I declare you unqualified."

As a knight lord, Rodriten announced.

Then, he turned and walked towards the villa, which was also about to come to an end.

There, there are additional accounts to be settled.
