……

In the arena, Nightstar's body fell into a static state again, his movements forcibly interrupted by strange fluctuations in magical power, and the hands that held Jimlu could not continue to increase his strength.

【……】

Sindo twisted his neck mechanically, his empty eyes staring indifferently at Kuya behind Nightstar......

Due to the violent explosion just now, no part of Kuya's body is still intact now, and the fair skin under the tattered costume is even more stained with bright red......

"Woo......"

Kuya gripped her staff tightly with both hands, and the crazy magic output of [Blocked Hourglass] made her body tremble.

Blood slowly slid from the corners of her forehead and into the corners of her eyes, stinging her eyes before she could close them......

Just as it seemed that it would be extended indefinitely, the space around the night star suddenly resounded with a subtle sound of glass shattering.

“！”

Kuya's face changed drastically, and the staff in her hand resounded with a blazing light!

"[Range Teleport]!"

The moment the incantation was pronounced, the space around the night star was violently distorted!

Accompanied by the shattering illusion of space, the sound of multiple glass shattering echoed in this ruin.

At the same time, a large circular totem rapidly expanded from Kuya's feet, covering the entire ruin almost in the next second.

Just as everyone in the arena glowed with a dazzling red light, Nightstar took Jimru's hand and burst out.

However, the moment he put his hands together, Jimlu and the three Mendila in the ruins in the distance were teleported away......

“……”

Nightstar looked at his empty hands, and seemed to fall into a state of sluggishness......

It wasn't until the sound of someone kneeling on the ground came from behind him that he gradually came back to his senses.

“……”

Turning slowly, Nightstar's hollow eyes under the cover of Sindo's hands grew colder.

Kuya in front of him had fallen to his knees, and the pendant around his neck was constantly flashing with a dazzling red light.

After a few breaths, Kuya looked up with difficulty.

Looking at this teenager who couldn't be seen clearly, her expression was a little painful, but more ......

Nostalgia......

……

The depths of the Night Star's consciousness......

……

Nightstar covered his head in severe pain, and the expression on his face became extremely hideous.

From the moment his mind was cut by a sharp blade, his whole state began to become abnormal.

Shaking his head hard, Nightstar looked gloomily at Yuya in front of him......

【…… I don't think there's much time left for preaching. 】

Yuya put her hands behind her back, looking a little lost.

For some reason, the soft light that emanated from her body suddenly became very dazzling in this dark space.

Nightstar glared at her with a slight hatred, his fists clenching gradually.

But before he could erupt, Yuya appeared in front of him first......

You can't kill her. 】

A faint word, a word without any majesty, exploded like a detonator in the heart of the night star.

Forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Nightstar sneered and took a step forward, making himself and Yuya almost stick together......

"Are you kidding me? Or have you been dead for more than a year and your brain has become abnormal? ”

【……】

"I'm going to give up the idea of eradicating the source of trouble because of your words?"

【……】

"I thought you were going to say something with a serious expression just now, but I couldn't think of such unnutritious words, so you ......"

[Enough is enough......]

Yuya interrupted Nightstar softly......

She slowly lowered her head, and because of the distance between the two, she leaned her head against Nightstar's chest......

【…… You're going too far for her. 】

“……”

[You should understand that I am not just referring to what you are doing now......]

“……”

Nightstar's expression was a little stunned, he wanted to push Yuya away in front of him several times, but at the last moment he withdrew his raised hands.

After a few moments, he stopped moving completely, and looked at the girl who had tied her hair in a ponytail with a gloomy expression......

"No, I can't stop......"

【……】

"I knew I couldn't hold on......"

【……】

"If she really dies in front of me in the future, I'm afraid I'll be even more crazy...... It's better to make an understanding ...... now."

Nightstar paused, staring at Yuya who was looking up at him again.

He took a step back, closing the distance.

"Ridiculous, isn't it? Obviously, he has such terrifying power, but his spirit is not as strong as one-ten-thousandth of those 'Dragon X Heaven'......"

【……】

"Ridiculous, right? obviously has this power that is extremely enviable to the world...... I can't save even a girl! ”

Nightstar gripped his cheek with a terrifying twist......

"It's ridiculous!! I can't save you until I get the power! After gaining strength, you can't save her! ”

【……】

"This is the power of his X, eat X, go! Just ruin everything! Then I will erect another tombstone for myself on the ruins of this world!! ”

【……】

"Do you know what that guy said? She said she just wanted to apologize to her mother! Hehe...... Her mother died five years ago! ”

【……】

"What do you want me to do?! Her mother's soul was shattered! Where can I go to find her again?! I ......"

Before he finished speaking, Nightstar was abruptly wrapped around Yuya's waist......

The corners of Yuya's eyes seemed to moisten, and she pressed the side of her cheek against Nightstar's chest again......

[I know you're in pain......]

“……”

[Dan...... Please stop treating her for me. 】

“！！！！！”

……

Above the ruins of the arena......

……

Kuya was picked up by Nightstar's one-handed neck grab, and the terrifying force caused her to suffocate instantly.

Incredibly, Kuya had no intention of struggling......

Or is it that the excessive exhaustion of the guide can no longer support the strenuous movements, or is it ......

She had already given up resisting......

"Little ...... Star ......"

With a murmuring call, Kuya's eyes closed heavily, allowing her consciousness to be swallowed up in darkness......

【！！！！！ 】

At this moment, Sindo, who was above behind the night star, suddenly became furious.

The eight wings behind it spread violently, and a strong aura of death immediately spread around them at high speed.

In the next moment, the barrel-like shield that surrounded the entire huge area shattered inch by inch.

Despite this, the aura of death showed no sign of stopping, and they continued to spread wildly around them, enveloping them with endless negativity everywhere they passed......

"Goo......

With the strange situation of Sindo, Nightstar's body gradually became a little unstable.

Suddenly, he let go of Kuya in his hand, and the whole person began to retreat behind him.

"Ahh

Night Star covered his head with both hands, and the aura in his body instantly became disordered!

Every time he took a step back, the cracks in the ground became more terrifying!

[Goo, ah, ah! 】

The roars of men and women who couldn't distinguish between men and women sounded violently, and the blood vessels on Sindo's completely materialized face were expanding and contracting wildly!

And above the ruins of the arena, the already clear sky was once again covered by endless dark clouds!

Terrifying thunder rained down on the entire area!

"Dead ...... Give me ...... death."

[Death? …… Death? …… Death? 】

Nightstar's mechanical voice mixed with chaotic void sounds rang out from the field.

The terrifying aura that emanated from his body alone was enough to cause the ground around him to shatter continuously......

……

"Let me ...... ...... for yourself"

【Set up a ...... Tombstone ......】

……

On the ground not far away, Kuya fell to the ground with a weak body.

Her body was on the verge of collapse due to a large amount of external magic infusion......

"Small, Little Star......"

Kuya lifted her eyelids with difficulty, and her tarnished eyes began to search for the young man's figure.

Even though her vision was blurred, she managed to catch the boy's silhouette.

She tried to move her body, but the sharp pain almost made Kuya faint instantly......

Is this the end of it......

Sorry......

……

Little Star ......
