Chapter 19: Enlightenment
Aska, who was lying on the couch and was forcibly drugged by Lucy, was rescued by a sudden attack.
Although the roof was directly lifted, Aska was still happy, at least he didn't have to be tortured by Lucy anymore.
It's just that, looking at the eerie atmosphere outside, will there be a monster head flying with a green light, which makes Askar a little scared in his heart.
After all, he is just a teenager, and he will subconsciously feel scared of the unknown existence of this ghost.
At this moment, Gaia, who had been silent for several days, suddenly shouted in Ascar's head.
"Aska! Oh no, this is the power of the Dark Church, and if you don't stop it quickly, this city will fall completely! ”
"......" Aska did not respond to Gaia.
If he had done it before, he would have rushed out without hesitation to destroy these monsters.
But now, after learning about that kind of thing from his mother, he has planned to give up the profession of a hero, seal the transformer forever, and only treat him as an ordinary person, always guarding his family.
However, when a person has power, even if he loses his strength completely, he cannot return to peace.
For example, now, Askar is ready to live as an ordinary person, but reality does not allow him to do so.
Gaia kept convincing Askar to destroy the ghosts and monsters.
To this, Aska just replied: "Even without me, there will be heroes who will appear to solve these monsters and save the city." ”
"Even if a hero comes forward to save the city, can you be sure that no one will be hurt? Can you be sure that there is no family in this injured crowd?! ”
Gaia knows very well that blindly relying on heroes will only make him lose more, and only by standing up can he protect the existence he wants to protect.
It can be said that the current Aska is very similar to Gaia when he was weak.
It's easy to get lost, it's easy to give up, and only when you really lose will you make up your mind.
But Aska is different, he doesn't want to see Aska go his own way, so here he keeps persuading Aska, otherwise, it will be too late to regret it.
However, Ascar, who had already made up his mind, did not listen to Gaia's persuasion at all, and evacuated to a safe place with his mother and Lucy.
Now he just wants to live a peaceful life of his own, heroes and weirdos or something, all of them are left behind, and he is dedicated to guarding his family, which is his greatest satisfaction.
While rushing to the safety zone, Lucy looked at Aska's back and suddenly said, "Aren't you going?" ”
"Huh? Where are you going? Askar didn't understand what Lucy meant.
And Lucy panicked instantly, and quickly explained: "Usually every time you encounter something, you will suddenly disappear, won't you disappear today?" ”
"Ah......" This time it was Ascar's turn to panic, and hurriedly explained: "That's because of the sudden stomach pain, but it's okay today, so don't worry." ”
"Well, it's fine." Lucy smiled sweetly.
Every time he saw this smile, Askar felt healed.
In retrospect, when I wanted to be a hero, I just wanted to protect this smile, but now that I can see this smile so easily, it seems that heroes are not so important.
Askar decided to follow his own path, even if he was not a hero, just an ordinary person, and he had to protect what he wanted to protect.
However, what Askar doesn't know is that what the weak want to protect is so fragile that it can be destroyed very easily.
Askar, who was already planning to give up his power and wanted to live like this.
As they rushed to safety, an explosion suddenly occurred in front of them, and a lizardman appeared in front of them.
"Aha, it turns out that there are still fish caught here, as long as I eat you, my ability will definitely be greatly improved...... Let's go! ”
Before he could finish his words, a huge paw fell from the sky and trampled him directly into pulp.
A giant monster with a physical entity landed in front of Ascar.
And there was a person standing above the monster, and this person was none other than Tianlan.
"What's the matter, Aska, are you frightened by such a scene and are about to give up everything and run for your life?"
In the face of Tianlan's taunt, Aska gritted his teeth and wanted to refute, but he still endured it and ran to the other side with his family.
At this moment, the old mother also realized that something was wrong and asked, "Askar, who is that person?" Do you know? ”
"I don't know, I don't know that mad dog."
Tian Lan, who was standing on top of the monster's head at this moment, pinched the bead on the cane and said, "I actually said that I was a mad dog, it seems that I need some lessons." ”
"I don't think he's ...... Yes~~! ”
Before the woman could finish speaking, Tianlan kicked her down, and then chased the monster towards Aska.
"Aska, that guy is completely playing tricks on you, when he gets tired of playing, you and your family are going to be finished, you have to fight back!"
Gaia kept reminding him in Ascar's mind, but Askar didn't listen, he just wanted to escape the place with his family.
However, with the footsteps of a human, how could it be possible to run past a huge monster.
As Gaia said, Tianlan was playing with him, and whenever Askar's speed began to drop, he controlled the monster to trample on Askar's side, scaring Askar into not letting up in any way.
Gradually, Tianlan looked at Aska, who was only concerned about escaping and never moving, and lost interest.
"It's really boring, you just take your boredom with you, and everything will die."
The monster stopped, opened its mouth, and fired a laser cannon down, destroying all the surrounding buildings, and Aska and his family were buried in the rubble.
In the darkness, Askar felt his consciousness getting weaker and weaker.
He didn't understand why they still refused to let him go if he had given up this power?
Is it really going to be wiped out?
I don't understand, I really don't understand.
"Aska...... Askar, wake up, open your eyes, ......! ”
As consciousness was about to disappear, Aska heard the voices of Gaia and Lucy intertwined.
From their voices, Askar heard anxiety, panic, and fear.
But now Aska doesn't have so many scruples, he feels so tired, so cold, and he wants to sleep.
However, just as Askar was about to give up, Tianlan's voice came again.
"That's it, I don't know what they're worried about. King Ledo, take everything around you as flat. ”
"┗|'O′|┛嗷~~!" The monster at Tianlan's feet roared, and then gathered its strength again, intending to use a super-large mouth cannon to wipe out everything around it.
Is it going to end?
Just as Aska was about to give up, he felt his body being dragged along, and he was weak and tried to open his eyes.
But no matter how hard he tried, he could only open a slit, and he couldn't see everything around him clearly.
"Aska...... You can't die, I still have a lot to say to you, I still want to continue to bully you, and I want to go to school and play with you, so don't give up here. ”
Lucy's voice, am I going to die here?
If I die, what will happen to Lucy and the old mother?
Hehe, do you still need to ask, under such an attack, everyone will die together.
"You've let me down, Aska." Gaia's voice came again: "Originally, I thought that you would be different, to be able to become a great hero, to protect everything you want to protect, but now I have found out that you are a coward, a coward who can't even protect your own family!" ”
"I ...... No! ”
"Then open your dog's eyes and take a good look around! Take a good look at the family members who are working hard for you! ”
Stimulated by Gaia, Askar tried his best to open one of his eyes.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a bright red steel bar, followed by Lucy, who was trying to get out of here with her, and the old mother who was pierced by the steel bar on the side.
Then there was the wreckage of the building, and the monsters that were gathering energy above their heads.
"Do you still want to give up when you see this, and want to live up to the expectations of these people who want you to live?!"
"I ...... I ......"
"Pick up the transformer and go and protect these people who want to protect you."
At this moment, Tian Lan, who was standing on top of the monster's head, frowned slightly, and was not waiting for anything, and directly ordered King Ledo to release the laser.
And at this moment, a large hand suddenly appeared, and pushed King Ledo's jaw, causing the laser to shoot into the sky.
Then Askar kicked King Ledo out, then lowered his mother and Lucy to the ground, releasing a soft light to heal them.
The Mother and Lucy looked at the Giant of Light who had saved them, their faces full of shock, and they wanted to ask everything clearly, but before they could ask, Aska left the place.
He gave up, there was no such thing as a peaceful life in this world, and if he wanted to protect his family, he had to make corresponding sacrifices.
Now Askar has figured out that if he wants to protect his family, he must destroy all the enemies.
Since he has chosen this path, then he must follow through to the end.
Askar chased after him, wanting to completely eliminate Tianlan and avoid such a thing from happening in the future.
And Tianlan, who was still on King Ledo just now, has left at some point, and at this moment, he appeared by the side of Aska's mother and Lucy.
"Yo, it's spectacular."
"What the hell are you trying to do?!" All the old mothers just now saw in their eyes, the person in front of them was his son's enemy, and he couldn't take it lightly, at least he couldn't let himself become a burden to his son.
"Don't be so nervous, I just need you to be hostages, and when it's done, I'll let you go."
"Don't you think about it!"
"I don't want to, it's not your turn to decide."
As soon as Tianlan's words fell, the old mother and Lucy were suddenly restrained by an invisible force and froze in place.
