Chapter Twenty-Six: Preparing to Die

"What are you calling me so late? You idiot! ”

Orange's voice was close to madness on the phone, so Rod slightly distanced the phone from his ears. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It wasn't his preference, it was a necessity.

Today is the 22nd, the day when Araya officially informs Rhodes that he can die.

A day of special significance.

Although Rhodes himself did not know, he was able to feel the day.

He will be sent to death, as a sacrifice for the awakening of the two rituals, and he will be calmly killed by the girl who has nothing, and then as something to fill the hole in his heart, only that little residual value remains.

I don't feel bothered, but there is one thing that must be arranged before then.

"I'm sorry, but I really have to do it"

Unconsciously, a smile appeared, but no one could see it.

Rhodes on the street late at night, holding up his mobile phone. Look up at the night sky.

"Ahh

Orange didn't accept the apology, but she didn't mean to continue to dig deeper.

After all, after dealing with her a few times, she already somewhat understood what kind of person the guy on the other end of the phone was.

I've only known each other for a few days, but it's really something I can't do if I develop like this.

"The girl I asked you to do is called Witch Strip Fog Painting"

"Huh?"

"Please help her if you can"

After thinking about it in the past few days, there is no way to save her directly, but it is difficult to do it, and after she dies, it is not clear what will happen to Araya.

Will he be able to spare the child? Who knows...

So, even if you do something stupid, at least do it first.

"Hey? What are you talking about? ”

Orange on the other side of the phone frowned.

But Rhodes didn't mean to explain much.

He couldn't say any more, otherwise, he would be making it difficult for him.

He smiled, and then, he said, presumably a last word or something.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, and then, no goodbye"

In the orange's "Hey!? With that, he hung up the phone, then threw it on the ground and stomped on it.

It's midnight, the good times, the time to kill the ghosts.

Turning around, a pair of blue eyes appeared in front of the knight.

It was a beautiful jewel-like color, and it was amazing.

"It's so beautiful..."

Rodritte praised without any ambiguity, but at the same time, in his right hand, the rising mud slowly molded into a spear.

"Really, it's obviously a compliment, but it's ready to kill each other? Murderer"

The two ceremonies shook their heads as if they were bored, and there was no emotion in the eyes that were completely lifeless.

She's probably just hunting herself with the idea of 'killing her own kind' now, right?

The false information provided by Araya, the so-called 'murderer who killed Minato Keita and other thugs', but she probably didn't know it... Actually, it was something that happened a long, long time ago.

It's just that it's only now been specifically leaked.

There was no expression on his face, and the knight did not laugh and did not cry.

He is none.

Whether it is or not, it is.

This is his fate tonight.

"Just what I want"

Then the next moment, the knight bound himself to a man and rushed forward.

"Huh"

The beautiful puppet, which was obviously smiling but expressionless, rushed forward, and the sword flashed, and before the knight could understand what was happening, the beautiful arc had already cut off the gun in his hand.

Stop suddenly, then follow through with a dance-like melody.

It's not that you can't see the opponent's attack clearly, but you can't understand it at all.

Blocking was meaningless, but it was cut off in an instant, as if the gun forged from black mud itself had a weakness, and it was killed cleanly. You can't even reuse it.

If it is the level of a Heroic Spirit, then it is natural that she can easily defeat her opponent in various ways - as long as she can't touch herself.

But what Rhodes wants to do is not to defeat her, but to let the other party kill him.

The method of binding the Heroic Spirit to a human being, and then, sending it to death.

"Oops, oops"

Laughing easily, but there was no smile on this side, just like the scene, in the cold night, the knife light splashed everywhere.

With dexterous steps, rushing forward again and again, slashing, the girl danced briskly.

Rhodes is her dance partner tonight, dancing with him the tango of death.

The black gun was so weak in the eyes of the girl, even if she was stabbed, there was probably only one way to die, but the girl who passed through the gap only scratched a few skins, but it was the wound that smelled of blood that made her even more excited.

"Kill you—"

Like a password, the girl's movements, after the declaration of nirvana, are faster.

The place of encounter is the overpass.

I don't know why it's here, but maybe it's fate, right?

Rod didn't remember that at this time, the two ceremonies should have killed each other here with Asagami Fujino, but it didn't prevent him from making the same action at this moment.

"What a useful eye—"

Regression, because the body is forcibly adjusted to the level of a human being, so the use of non-human bodies has become a little reluctant at this moment.

Raising his hand, in the black quagmire under his feet, a total of three hundred and seventy-seven black spears were densely accumulated, but the white light of killing only used one blow.

"It's so weak"

As if mocking, the two ceremonies burst into the cluster of guns, which were several times slower than usual, and stabbed towards the point where countless dead lines intersected.

In an instant, the illusion collapsed.

It was as if something huge was falling in an instant, and the sound of matter disintegrating brought a crisp sound of shattering, and then, a huge black quagmire, a large piece of it was killed.

"Tsk"

Even Rod was taken aback.

It's not because you're going to lose, because that's the goal, it's not because you're going to be killed as a mire of evil, because that's the process.

It's just unimaginable that with just one knife, he killed one of his clones cleanly.

-- It's really pointless.

The method of using the doppelganger to awaken the origin of Liangyi seems to have failed.

Something full of flaws like that,It doesn't seem to be qualified to fight a girl at all.。

It's just something that will be killed cleanly in one turn, and no matter how much it is, it's useless.

In this case-

"Is it only me?"

The new Rod, got up from the mud.

With a wry smile, he held the brand-new two blades in his hands.

"Oh? Is this the ontology? ”

A smile tugged at the blue-eyed girl's lips.

In the moonlight, the reappeared figure was completely different from the flawed puppet before.

It's not flawless, but it doesn't have too many dead lines, just looking at it makes the brain feel hot.

Stand up straight and regain your grip on the knife. It is only now that the two ceremonies are really interested in such an opponent.

"That's right, what's your name?"

The killer stared straight at Rhodes, and there was nothing in his fiery gaze except for the intent to kill.

It's not that I want to kill it, it's just that I want to kill it, and it's so exciting.

"When I ask many times, it's a thing that is nothing, and if you know the name, what can you do"

Rod didn't want to answer.

Not being able to fight with all his might is a shame for him.

To endure humiliation and bear a burden, but to expose your name is more uncomfortable than death.

The next moment, the knight rushed out, and with a wave of his right hand, the blade of the spear rolled up in a strong wind.

The air flowing through the gap in the vacuum curled up a confused color where the blade swung, and the black magic blurred the track.

"Indeed"

The two ceremonies were even more exciting.

Stepping on the ground, impacting, and the figure that fell down in an instant burst into the defensive circle from a height of only forty centimeters above the ground.

Avoiding the swept spear and wind, under the blade-like black shadow, the girl, who longs to kill her kind, only took a second to cut into the battle.

"Just - kill you!!"

Her voice was so cold that it was paralyzing, and there was no distraction in a word, clear and clear, clearly announcing her original intention.

This is not a conversation.

Dialogue is a condition that can only be achieved by two people exchanging sentences with each other.

But at this time, the two ceremonies did not hope for an answer.

Just tell you, and then, give you a death.

It's that simple and crisp thing to do.

This is the only meaning of her existence now.

It's not her who is the two rituals, nor is he who is the weaver of the two rituals, but the murderer who stands here, in the hollow of Garan, eager to witness his own life with the death of others, and fills the eternal dissatisfaction of the two rituals with the same void and emptiness.

Where the waving, slashing, and dagger slashed, the wind or the light shattered, the colors of the disillusionment were silent, neither grand nor brilliant.

In order to prevent the blade from being cut off instantly, the knight immediately changed his posture.

The whole body drew a spiral like a dance, and while turning his body, he withdrew his right hand pistol, and then stabbed the second blow with his left hand, and the blades of the spear pulled by the centrifugal force all drew a wonderful attack line with a good elastic gun feeling, and the blade edge was close to the heart of the two ceremonies.

But it didn't hit.

However, as soon as this shot was stabbed, something that had already surpassed the prediction had worked on Liangyi's body.

Almost at the same moment as the shot, Liang Yi had already jumped backwards and dodged the blow.

'Intuition? ’

Rod was stunned, but he didn't stop his attack.

The advantage of spinning and catching up is the continuity of attacks.

The gun in his left hand was only halfway retracted, and the gun in his right hand had already swept out, and while he was twisting his body again, the knight stepped forward mercilessly, and stomped heavily on the ground.

The extreme power of human beings shattered the earth in an instant, like a giant thing hammering the ground, and the ground within a radius of several meters suddenly collapsed downward, shattered, and turned into huge cracked cobwebs, and extremely dusty covered the battlefield of confrontation.
