This is where everything about Joshua begins.

He was born and raised here.

Here, survive as the younger brother of Karling's sister.

Here, survive as the brother-in-law of Big Brother Levy.

In the same way, it was because of the destruction of this place that Joshua lost the hearts of mankind. will be taken advantage of by Wiseman. will finally become a member of the executor......

will finally have such a legendary encounter.

Meet a girl worth protecting for the rest of your life, Estil.

With a father worthy of his life's respect, Cassius.

has his predecessors who will always chase and always walk in front of him, You Tatsumi.

There is also a group of friends who are like-minded.

The beginning and turning point of Joshua's life are all here.

If possible, Joshua also wanted his end to be here. At the end of his life, he was able to sleep peacefully with Karling and Levi.

Of course...... Joshua didn't mean to die here.

You Tatsumi also understands this.

The words he had instructed before clearly contained: "Don't die, give me the solution to the guy who calls himself the Dark Fang, and then come back alive".

……

Brother You is really ...... I know everything.

When will I become such a reliable person?

Joshua was suddenly a little sentimental.

If it's Big Brother You, there must be a more powerful solution.

But...... I'm an idiot. So, I can only use one method......

"Come out, Dark Fang. We did as you asked, and came over. ”

Faced with Hamel's ruins, Joshua alang shouted.

On a normal day, it's a joke.

Assassins who are good at infiltrating assassinations, once they lose their biggest weapon, "Concealment", it is completely meaningless.

However, Joshua knew that if it was the other party, he would definitely show up.

Tread on!

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps.

From a familiar ruin, the pitch-black hood and cloak of the Black Fang emerged. Golden twin swords, half-covered masks, closed corners of his mouth as cold and hard as his blades.

"Joshua ......"

At Joshua's side, Estelle clenched her stick and couldn't help but call out her lover's name.

It doesn't make sense, but ...... Only by doing so could Estelle ease her worries somewhat.

This isn't the first time you've met the Dark Fang in Hamel.

However, this is probably the last time I will meet him.

Only by defeating him can the whereabouts of the Einsel be asked.

According to the Strange Thief, the Phantom Fog is actually a type of illusion, and if he really wants to hide an airship wholeheartedly, it will be difficult to find it.

By the way, when the strange thief said "it is difficult to ascend to the sky", You Chensi raised his hand casually, summoned two chains to drag himself and flew up, and directly "ascended to the sky" to show him, making the strange thief speechless for a while.

"Joshua? Astre. I thought you came alone. ”

The Dark Fang spoke.

The voice is hoarse, and the timbre cannot be heard at all.

"Hmm. I had this idea before. But I denied it. Because, for me, I'm not just a person. Around me, I have long formed bonds with countless people, and these bonds are part of me. So, although there are a few of us here, but at the same time, also named Joshua? Bright is part of this humanity. ”

“…… Oh, I see. Then I will approve of you. ”

The corners of his mouth opened and closed casually, agreeing with Joshua's statement, and his two swords were placed in front of him.

"The rules are simple, I hid the map on my body. Whether you kill me or take away the map, you win. But if I kill you...... It's me who won. ”

"No, it's not fair."

Joshua shook his head, a sharp noop.

It's hard to imagine Joshua being so blunt in his denial, and in general, everyone would use words that don't irritate the other.

The Dark Fang sneered, "Oh? ”

"You know I'm Joshua, but I don't know who you really are. Take that hood off and throw away the mask. ”

"You should know why I'm wearing a mask."

"Ah, I know. It's like in the Shadow Country, Levi wears a mask. That's because...... What a weakness in my heart. ”

Joshua smiled bitterly, and at the mention of the Shadow Country, a warm and tingling emotion suddenly flooded his heart.

Lévy took on the form of a black knight, wearing a mask, and challenged the crowd. Because it was a place where the strong desires of the human heart would be restored, and because Joshua had a strong belief that he did not want to be an enemy of Lévy, Lévy had to put on a mask and hide his posture.

And this time......

It's the same.

Because of Joshua's weakness in his heart, the other party put on a mask.

"It's okay to take it off. But...... Are you sure? ”

The pitch-black fang retracted his posture, and the curvature of the sneer at the corner of his mouth became more definite.

"Ah, I'm sure. Take it off. Because...... I already know that. ”

Joshua's face was similarly smiling.

It was sad, sad, sad, heartbreaking.

"Take it off. Joshua? Astre. ”

Joshua uttered the name.

The Dark Fang didn't speak, and pulled the hood down with his left hand. It was hair that had begun to turn gray, vaguely recognizable, once pure black.

He held the golden sword in his right hand and shattered his mask in one fell swoop.

Underneath that was a face almost identical to Joshua's.

No, no, older than Joshua, more mature, and more sad face.

Is that...... If you are born without love, concentrate on polishing yourself into a bladed face.

That is, Joshua whom Lanster knew. That's the one who killed Estelle with his own hands and completely collapsed into a Wiseman puppet.

"You still found out. I didn't want you to know. ”

"I'm sorry. Thank you for your gentleness. ”

"It's not gentleness."

The Dark Fang interrupted him.

"Joshua ......"

Estelle looked at Joshua blankly, and then at the pitch-black fangs, which looked almost the same as him, and for a moment did not know what to do, so she could only repeat the names of the two people.

"Ah...... Estelle ...... It's great that you're alive. ”

For the first time, a gentle expression appeared on the face of the dark fang, and the amber eyes narrowed slightly, and the water couldn't help but emerge.

Joshua ...... You are...... The ...... of that world Joshua? ”

"Ah, that's right. I'm the ...... Stupid man. ”

The smile of the black tooth was particularly bitter.

Estelle couldn't react for a while, why did Joshua have to kill Joshua? There's something wrong with this?

Suddenly, she thought of something and quickly asked, "Could it be!" You, are you hating Joshua? Hate him......"

"Hate?"

The Dark Fang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I don't hate him at all. I'm so grateful to him. ”

The smile of the dark tooth was so bright that it was distressing, and two lines of tears couldn't stop pouring out of his eyes, drawing angular lines on his face.

"Thank you...... So happy...... Thank you...... Saved Estelle in the end...... Thank you for being able to make it this far...... I...... I'd love to know ......."

The dark Fang's amber eyes turned to Joshua, who raised his head firmly, and the amber color was also reflected in the amber color.

"I'd love to know...... ...... the hell When, where, with whom, and what kind of choices were made to finally come to such a happy direction? Tell me...... Where, exactly, am I doing something wrong? ”

“…… Sorry, I don't know. ”

Joshua reluctantly reluctantly repudiated his words.

"Ah, that's okay. I didn't expect you to answer my question. So, let's fight. Joshua. ”

"Wait, wait!"

Estelle hurriedly shouted, "You don't hate Joshua! So, then why do you have to fight to the death with him? ”

"Oh, Estell, you're so stupid!"

Ling couldn't look at it, shrugged her shoulders, and the corners of her mouth showed a playful arc.

"Forget it, Ling, Estelle's unresponsiveness isn't a day or two."

The dark fang stopped Ling's words flatly, and the two of them complained so tacitly that Estelle pouted dissatisfiedly.

"I'm here just to put Joshua to the test. It's as if Lévy had proposed a trial to all of humanity...... But I'm not that powerful, and I'm not that noble. ”

The Pitch Black Fang smiled bitterly, and then, as if he wanted to shake off everything about himself, he shook his head vigorously, with a calm and determined look on his face, and said, "In your future, you will encounter sad things countless times. The happier you are, the more painful you are when you lose. I know this feeling best. If he loses you again, Joshua will surely collapse. So, in order not to let this happen...... Joshua, you must have the strength to face all challenges. I am you in your heyday. Moreover, having received the Outer Principle Twin Swords given to me by the Three Pillars of Ranster, if you can't defeat me, then, you won't be able to face your future, and you won't be able to face powerful enemies. Instead of crashing you again...... I'd rather end your life here. ”

The golden twin swords stood up.

If Levy's will is as noble as silver, he will test all mankind and ask humanity about the right path.

Then, the will of the Black Fang is as dark as purgatory, and in order not to miss happiness again, he would rather annihilate himself.

It is better to lose your life than to allow yourself to despair again.

Finally...... What kind of pain did he go through to come to this conclusion?

The people of Ranster's faction are crazy.

If it weren't for the great grief in my heart, I wouldn't have come to such a crazy conclusion as destroying the world.

"I understand. I'll prove it to you. Joshua? Bright's power. The power of bonding. The feelings between people, once the dense sublimation is transformed into a bond, then, even if it is the Seven Supreme Treasures, even if it is the goddess of emptiness, it will not be able to cut him off again! Admit it, Joshua? Astre! Isn't it because of your bond to Estelle that you're in such pain! ”

"Shut up! It is useless to say more. If you're preaching to me, then kill me and talk slowly! ”

Knowing that there were no words to end the fight, Joshua set up his twin swords, Rei picked up the scythe, and Estelle hesitated, but finally picked up the stick.

Jost and the others thought for a moment, and finally retreated silently.

This is not a battlefield in which they can intervene.

level, too much difference.

"The executor of the Serpent, Joshua the Tooth of Darkness? Astre, cf. above. In order not to repeat the tragedy, I would rather die here. ”

"Liberal's B-class guerrilla, Joshua? Bright, along with his family, fights to protect their future! ”
