"Bang!"

The sharp tip of the sword was on the floor, supporting the somewhat staggering figure, and the tip of the sword slid and caused the figure that had been struggling for a long time to fall to the ground again.

The gray-eyed young man who was staring at this scene couldn't laugh at all.

How could it be......

He remembered very well that he had been scorched in his arm at the last moment of the explosion, piercing the Dragon Knight's spear through Fitlonai's heart.

She didn't resist, and her body had been eroded by the void and was on the verge of the limit, and she watched the fiery red figure being hit by the qi wave and flying out, and the level of injury was replaced by herself, I was afraid that it was not half of her body.

Even if it wasn't blown to pieces, it was burned to char by the flames of the explosion... The dragon knight's spear that pierced through her heart was enough to completely destroy her body.

So why is she still on her feet?!

No, no, no... It should be why she still looks like she hasn't been hurt in the slightest, she can't even see the wound, not even the blood that should have spurted out of her chest.

De Salion, the bloodline of the Dragon King family... Is it such a terrible thing?!

Lying in a pool of blood, Lusen trembled, and his expression was hard to see.

My arms were scorched, my ribs were broken, half of my body hurt as if I was about to be paralyzed, and my headache was extremely split... All the pain that has been eroded by the power of the void until now has completely erupted at this critical point.

It won't be long before Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess doesn't even need to do it herself, she will die completely, and her spiritual consciousness will be replaced by Asriel, right?

But until then... Now, at least for now... Until Isaac's plan is completed, he can't fall yet.

He had promised Lord Loren, that Ain would protect Isaac himself, and that was a promise, and the Elems did what they said.

Swear by blood and never betray it!

Taking a deep breath of cold air, Lusen, who was trembling with pain, desperately grabbed the Mithril dagger that had fallen to the side, staring at the figure that staggered towards him with the sword.

"Bell, bell, bell......"

The sword pointed to the ground, supporting the figure that was also on the verge of collapse, slowly but surely approaching, and the fiery red eyes remained motionless, staring at Lusen's figure.

Obviously, he couldn't even stand on his feet, and the ankles of his feet had been torn off by himself, and with every step he took, he could hear the sound of broken bones and broken bones tearing at flesh and blood, and he still hobbled towards him.

The gray-eyed young man with a solemn expression gradually dilated his pupils, and the hand holding the sword was hidden under his trembling body, ready to attack.

"Monsters... ...... must be stopped"

The eldest princess with red hair scattered her trembling lips was still muttering:

"The Void... ...... must be stopped"

"Absolutely... Absolute... They must be ... Destruction ......"

"Never... Can't let anymore... They hurt... More people ......"

"It has to be... to stop ......"

"It has to be... Stop them ......"

In front of the dead door of the main hall, only Fitlonai's self-talk echoed among the corpses.

Five minutes, a quarter of an hour, an hour... It is even possible that he has exhausted the time of his life, corrupted by the Void, and the dying Lusen's sense of time has been completely deranged.

In his eyes, the short distance traveled by the beautiful figure who staggered over to kill him was longer than a century and the end of the world.

It was so long that he was ready to die with the other party the moment the blade fell.

Silver-gray eyes and fiery pupils met each other, and the blood-stained sword was raised above his head.

"Run... ...... you can't win"

Well?

Lusen, who thought he was hallucinating, was suddenly stunned.

"That's... Brother Huang's plan... Holy Cross... Black Cross... ...... you can't win"

The moment the big sword was raised, Fittronai suddenly spoke.

Under the long fiery red hair, the eyes that seemed to be burning flashed with a strange light, as if there were still tens of thousands of monsters echoing in her vision, and the survivors who were on the run, and who should have died a long time ago without a place to be buried.

“...... Run. ”

The gray-eyed boy was stunned, and even forgot the sword in his hand.

At that moment, the great sword fell.

"Bell !!!"

Stirring sparks, blooming in the silver-gray pupils.

Lusen's mind was blank, and it took three seconds for him to wake up, his eyes fixed on the tip of the sword that was less than an inch from his cheek.

The blood that was about to congaze fell on his face, like the caress of a cold tentacle, making him shiver all over.

"If you want to die, why do you want to come to such a place? ”

The gray-eyed boy stared wide-eyed at the figure who had saved his life.

The Knight-of-Oath stood beside him and the eldest princess with a solemn expression, both hands gripping the sword that nearly pierced him and the blade that he instinctively stabbed at the same time.

The blood on his cheeks was dripping from his palms.

"Y-How are you... How could it be ......"

Shocked, Lusen stammered and couldn't speak.

The pale Knight of the Oath ignored him, his blood-stained hands tossing the two blades aside, gently holding Fitlonai's body on the verge of collapse.

The knight maiden struggled, but soon stopped resisting, as if feeling some kind of familiarity, and lay in the arms of the knight of the oath.

Slowly, the Knight of the Oath placed the knight girl flat on the ground with unprecedented gentleness, her head facing the direction of the Basilica of the Holy Cross, and placed a small Holy Cross pendant in the palm of her abdomen.

"Absolutely... Absolute... They must be ... Destruction ......"

"Never... Can't let anymore... They hurt... More people ......"

Lying down, Fitlonay was still talking to herself.

"Run... ...... you can't win"

"It's over. ”

The Knight of Oath interrupted her softly:

"Fitlonedsarion, bloodline of the Dragonlord, descendant of the Dragon Queen and Lord of Sakrand, your mission has come to an end. ”

"Your path has come to an end;"

"Gloriously, serenely, and without regrets leaving this miserable world... It's what you deserve in return. ”

The knight of the oath with a solemn expression raised the "Bright Star" long sword with one hand, and the sacred and solemn pointed the silver-white sword tip at Fitlonai's throat.

The knight girl, who realized something, seemed to have finally regained her senses briefly at this last moment, and closed her eyes peacefully.

"Holy Cross, my lord, this man has embarked on a journey back from which he will never return;

Thy will be walked on the earth, as it is in heaven;

Give her your blessings and give her your guardians;

Let her pass through the darkness and shadows to the other side of her heart's desire;

Never get lost......"

.................. A faint gold, as the tip of the falling sword emerged from the knight girl's body, then drifted away, disappearing without a trace in the night.

Pressing his broken chest, Lu Sien, who struggled to get up from the pool of blood, looked at the figure with a somewhat complicated expression, and at that moment, he could feel the last trace of Fetronay's consciousness dissipate with the power of the "purified" void.

To be able to be so without regrets, to be blessed by others in a sober state, and to leave this world peacefully... How to say it.

He suddenly became a little envious of Fitronay.

"On the occasion of the dying of the Holy Cross, the believers of the Holy Cross perform a blessing ceremony to purify their bodies and consciousness that have been eroded by pollution, so that they can die without regrets... It was the age of preaching with a sword, and every knight of the oath would do. ”

The Oath Knight, who had his back to Lu Sien, suddenly said coldly: "But the result of this means that the void power in the other party's body has been completely purified, and there is nothing left. ”

"For a guy like you, who has long been marked as an evil god, it is tantamount to being burned at the stake. ”

Looking at the other party's cold gaze, the gray-eyed young man was embarrassed for a while.

"Uh... Why are you here, I thought, I thought ......"

I thought you had been killed by Serol... The gray-eyed boy didn't dare to speak.

"I still have my calling. Staring at the eldest princess who had departed peacefully, the Knight of Oath said in a deep voice: "Before this mission is over, or before it completely falls, you can't really leave without regrets." ”

"Even if you die a thousand times, ten thousand times... As long as you have a breath left, you must keep fighting... It's the mission. ”

"It's the only thing that keeps me alive. ”

Slowly retracting his expression, Lu Sien bowed slightly.

Although I don't know much about His Excellency the Knight of Oaths, it doesn't prevent me from having a lot of respect for him.

"So... You're going to kill Serol... Black Cross?" the gray-eyed boy asked tentatively.

"Nope. The Knights of Oath shook his head:

"Lord Farnesis... He's reaped the consequences, he's got what he's supposed to do, he doesn't need me anymore, and as for the one who wants to defeat Serol... There are others. ”

The moment he spoke, the Knight of Oath's expression was visibly complicated, as if he was admitting something he had never been willing to admit.

"But there is another mission that I have blessed me with besides the defeat of Serol, and not just to defeat its enemies, but for many more, more important reasons. ”

Lusan shrugged, anyway, as long as the other party didn't want to be an enemy of Lord Loren, he didn't care.

The two were silent for a moment, and the Knight of Oath, after completing the last few steps of the blessing, slowly got up and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Lu Sien hurriedly shouted.

"W-What... The ......" scarred gray-eyed boy struggled to pick up the dragon knight's spear on the ground and handed it to the Oath Knight: "This... You gave it to me when you were in Silverhelm Mountain. ”

"Put it away. The Knight of Oath frowned slightly: "I gave it to you, it's already yours." ”

"No, no, it's not!"

The pain was unbearable, and Lu Sien took a deep breath of cold air, as if he used all his strength to raise the dragon knight's spear in front of the other party: "It's not that I don't want it, but... I've ......"

It can no longer be used.

Lusen was well aware of his current state.

Even if he won a fluke and was saved by the Knight of Oath, he was destined to be unable to continue fighting in his current state, and there was nowhere to go except to wait for death here.

Not to mention the Dragon Knight's spear, even if it is the "Dawn" greatsword, it is useless except to wipe the neck before dying.

"This is a weapon forged by the wizards of the Dragon Kingdom, which can cause very serious damage to the existence in the void, I have tried it, so ......"

"If you're going to keep fighting, take this with you, so at least... At least it can be used somewhat!"

Clenching his teeth, Lu Sien's voice became smaller and quieter, and his face was full of unwillingness.

For a second, he even regretted why he had waited for someone to come to his rescue, instead of dying with Fitlonay at the last minute.

Even if he was a little embarrassed, he at least fought to the last moment, fulfilling his promise to Lord Loren and Isaac.

"You don't seem to understand what I'm saying. ”

The Knight of Oath frowned slightly, "The Dragon Knight's spear is yours, and this was decided when I gave it to you." ”

"I give it to you not just as a gift, but because it is meant to be yours, and you still need this power. ”

Alas?

Blinking, the confused gray-eyed boy looked confused.

"I don't understand ......"

"You don't need to understand. The Knight of the Oath interrupted, "When fate strikes, you'll understand why. ”

"Your attachments, your thoughts, your desires, your ambitions... None of this matters to the world, what matters is that it needs your existence, what matters is that it needs you to accomplish something. ”

"It's not for nothing that you've been able to avoid the mortal calamity of the Broken Boundary Mountain Fortress;

It is not for nothing that I have been reborn as a knight of the oaths, standing here from an ordinary knight of the Church;

It's not for nothing that Isaac Grantham, a farmer, became a wizard who could change the pattern of the world;

Loren Turin... He appeared not without reason. ”

The Heavy Knights of the Oath had a deep and dark expression: "The world is doing its best to change what is destined to happen, even making decisions that will lead to self-destruction at any cost to complete this last stand. ”

"We, you and me, Loren Turin, Holy Cross, evil gods... As long as there is a breath left, it proves that your mission is not yet complete, and you still have to continue to fight and complete your mission. ”

"So Lusenwirtz, keep fighting, fight until you can't fight anymore!"

"Others... It doesn't matter!"

Lusen looked at him, stunned.

"It's like... Fitronay?"

The Knight of the Oath paused slightly, and nodded:

"Yes, just like her. ”

"I don't know what to do, but with my last obsession, I guarded the Heavenly Dome Palace, defeated countless monsters, cleared the way forward for you and Isaac, and can stand here without disturbance and complete your mission. ”

"That's her calling... She didn't know, she didn't need to know, and her obsession led her to do something that seemed meaningless, but it was just as crucial. ”

"It's... Mission. ”
