Chapter 17: The Pathetic Man with the Sword
The surging red was surging there, the scorching aura was turning, the girl's body had become almost red, the terrifying energy was fluctuating there, and the girl's hair was turning upwards in this energy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
She held the flag aloft, the light in her eyes flickering.
It was as if a sword was emerging from her body.
It was a golden sword with a hint of red, ancient and heavy stripes floating on top of the sword, and all living beings could feel the terrifying energy, as well as her sharpness.
The girl's figure gradually disappeared, and in its place, only the sword, the sword in the flames.
She remembered what had happened before, a long, long time ago......
She seemed to hear something.
It was as if Our Lady was singing: I received this pure fire, and then the condemnation of Joan of Arc that the voices sang alternated with the voice of the daughter of God.
I...... What did you do wrong...... Why do you do this to me......
That's right...... What was the name of the pastor at the time...... It seems to be called Domini......
At that time, I didn't seem to notice that the figure of Dominic's guy was gone.
But I seem to be talking about my loneliness again...... Our Lady seems to be singing: Joan of Arc, you are by no means alone, but the flame is rising.
I...... What the hell did you do wrong...... I......
Why...... Why......
I cried out in fear, "I don't want to die, I'm afraid." ”
A priest took a piece of paper and accused me of lying and asked me to sign it.
But what did I do wrong...... Why......
I......
The flames were already burning on her body, and it hurt. The pain is very uncomfortable......
Don't want to die...... But...... This flame ......
Did I hear anything again......
The angel seems to sing again: You yourself are a burning flame.
They were still singing together, but they seemed to be a little different.
The chorus is no longer a curse, but seems to praise me. The chorus of angels and children's voices: "Joan of Arc, daughter of God, you had better come here." Beyond all is love, there is happiness beyond everything, and above all is God. ”
She listened to the voice, but tears welled up in her eyes.
She's in pain, suffering for this. Although she was declared the greatest love, she was still very painful......
I...... I...... I......
"Giving one's life for oneself for one's loved ones is the greatest love."
That was the last verse sung by the angels.
Joan of Arc finally regained consciousness, and her body had completely become the sword in the flames.
"I will be my lord. I...... No...... I will be for my hopes. ”
The bright red sword slammed towards the black giant.
"I'll do it for protection, for my original thoughts."
――――――――――――――――
Artoria stared blankly.
She didn't expect anything like this.
When she saw the Earth Bound God appear, she knew that there was no help here, and the best thing to do now was to hurry back to the city and evacuate the people.
As for Sanzhefeng and them, Artoria believed that with that man's strength and calculation, he would definitely be able to escape.
But the idea of defeating that thing never occurred in her head.
She had been educated by the highest knights since she was a child, and it stands to reason that the words invincible enemy and flight should never come to her mind. She will advance against all enemies until she dies.
But...... That's someone who hasn't felt the strength of that monster.
She...... I'm really scared of that...... Monster.
Not that feeling of fear, but that feeling of powerlessness.
She clearly had a sword in her hand, but she couldn't swing it.
The thought that "I can't hurt that thing" was deeply implanted in her heart.
She...... There's no way to lift the sword against that thing.
She is not afraid of death, but she is afraid of a meaningless death.
No one can protect the death.
But she saw the bright red light.
A dazzling red light suddenly appeared under the feet of the pitch-black giant, and then, as if it had touched some nemesis, the black sand began to melt slowly, and then, a huge sword appeared out of thin air and stabbed at the black giant.
The giant lost his balance in an instant, and he slowly fell backwards, even his body disappearing.
This...... What is it......
Artoria stared blankly at the sword, feeling strange in her heart.
Is she ...... Where have you seen that sword?
"Five-Five-Five-Order Magic!"
And the magician over there had already shouted out, as a professional magician, he could see that the attack power of this had reached the realm of fifth-order magic.
But he still didn't quite understand, this looked like fire magic, but it didn't feel like there was a fluctuation in magic, which made him wonder for a moment if what he was seeing was magic.
But he immediately dismissed his thoughts, and in his understanding, only magic can cause such an effect, so what is not magic?
It must be that I know too little.
He thought so, after all, he had never seen fifth-order magic.
The fiery red, dazzling sword flew towards the giant, slicing a dazzling light through the air. The light lit up almost the entire sky, red and unopen, red - terrifying.
Artoria looked at the sword and fell into a state of utterance.
If...... I had that power at the time......
But......
No, yes......
Her eyes didn't leave the sword, she looked there, her heart constantly changing.
But until the end, she only sighed.
――――――――――――――――
【…… You're putting innocent lives in your game just too much! 】
"What do I do?"
【…… You put Joan of Arc's kindness ...... That's her kindness! Not your toy! 】
"What do I do?"
【…… The children...... They are not...... Not your ......]
"What do I do?"
Sang Zhefeng slowly lifted his forehead, and a happy smile appeared on his face.
"These? What does it have to do with me? It's just a bunch of boring realizations. ”
He looked at the fiery red over there, opened his arms high, and the smile on his face deepened.
"Hahahahaha! Perfect show! It's perfect! ”
He smiled and sighed, but in his mind were the things of the past.
Those who were, in his heart......
The saddest thing ......
He didn't know when he liked it, maybe he had changed since that incident......
When those are crying out, when those are walking in the lost......
In those people...... When you shout......
At...... When he saw her blood......
Yes......
"Hahahahaha......"
He was ...... at that time
"Hahahahaha......"
It's already ......
"Hahahahahaha......ha
Crazy......
Sanzhefeng leaned back, and maniacal laughter came out of his mouth, and he danced there as if he were doing something great.
【…… Devil ......】
The system looked at him from the sidelines and said.
Now it's hard to describe what kind of feeling it feels in its heart, but it's just an inexplicable sadness.
The man in front of him...... It seems that there is no longer a person's original heart.
He...... Why do you do this......
The sword over there had been inserted into the giant's body, and there was no way to resist the terrifying power even in the end.
The life of "God" is nearing its end.
The fiery red light had already leaked through the black body, and there were even many cracks in his back, and the bright red light was shining there, as if it was about to tear through the darkness immediately.
Sang Zhefeng suddenly stopped laughing. He clapped his hands.
"Perfect!"
――――――――――――――――
There was a loud bang, as if an ancient titan was jumping up and falling to the ground, and that huge sound caused the earth to vibrate. The villagers looked in horror into the distance, the huge giant's body had burst open, scattering in all directions, and the bright red sword was slowly disappearing.
“…… Miracles...... Zambiella ......"
They muttered.
They didn't know what was going on, only that the giant in front of them had been crushed by the bright red sword - it was a miracle! It must have been a miracle!
They want to.
They slowly knelt down, raised their arms in the air, and shouted gods.
In their minds, only gods could do such things.
But those children were curious about what their parents were doing - why did they say that it was God when the gentle and good-looking big sister had passed by?

――――――――――――――――
Sang Zhefeng picked up his sword and slowly walked towards the battlefield.
【You...... What do you want to do......]
The system asked in horror. If it were someone else, it wouldn't hesitate to think that he would save Joan of Arc...... But...... In front of me are the words of this man......
It didn't think the bright red glow in his eyes was trying to save the girl.
"There's nothing wrong with a useless item being a little broken, and besides, what if that girl recognizes my plan? It's not good to set up an enemy for yourself~"
He replied indifferently, and his voice was as gentle as if he were talking to a couple.
But the meaning of his words made the system feel like an ice cave.
[For...... Why...... Why do you want to do that? Why? 】
The system's mood is finally out of control, and although it doesn't show anything in the dialog, anyone can see it - the sadness in its tone.
Sang Zhefeng ignored it and continued to walk forward with a smile on his face, looking like he would soon be on the battlefield.
[Why! You lunatic! Murderer! Demon! 】
The system screamed at him, and it could only play the dialogs, but there was absolutely nothing it could do to stop the man.
Sang Zhefeng had already arrived around the battlefield, he looked around, breathed in the still hot air here, and the smile on his face widened.
[Don't ...... Don't do that...... Joan of Arc ...... Joan of Arc is still useful...... She...... She's still the powerful Servant, she's ...... She can still work for you, it's not worth killing her! 】
The system's tone had changed to begging, and it begged for Sang Zhefeng, but Sang Zhefeng didn't even look at it.
Not far away, the girl was standing.
The armor on her body was broken, and the flag in her hand was broken.
Her face was covered with blood, from her eyes, from her ears. She couldn't see or hear now. But she was still standing, like a hero.
She stood in the fire in isolation.
The expression on Sang Zhefeng's face had changed to a smile, and he picked up his sword and walked towards the girl.
[No...... Wait a minute...... Don't ......]
Sang Zhefeng continued to look that way, raising his sword.
[Don't...... No...... Don't ......]
"Rest in peace...... Hero!"
Sang Zhefeng had already swung his sword and slashed at the girl's neck.
[Don't ......]
[Don't ......]
……
"Please, don't !!"
――――――――――――――――
Sang Zhefeng stopped the sword in his hand.
His expression had turned to horror.
A sudden female voice interrupted his movements, and he wondered for a moment if he had misheard.
But he didn't dare to move anymore, didn't dare to move at all.
"Please...... Don't ......"
The girl's voice rang out again, and Sang Zhefeng's face became distorted and dazed.
"You...... Why do you know this sound......"
