"Take it! Kirkbor! ”

Boom~~~~~~~~~!

A huge mass of magic is knocked out of the hands of Minister Lias!

"It's huge!"

That blow struck at a very fast speed towards the fallen angel cadre sitting in the air!

A devastating blow hits Kirkbor! Destroy it like that!

But—

The guy raised a hand forward.

Rumble~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!

Blocked the minister's attack with just one hand!?

Boom~!

Kirkbol raised his hand. The attack trajectory released by the minister changed, and it flew to the other side of the night, disappearing.

Kirkbol looked at the smoking palm and looked happy.

"I see. With the strength of the Red Dragon Emperor, Lias Jimonri's strength can be increased to this level—it's really interesting. It's just so much fun. ”

Kirkbol was alone in the air, talking funny and laughing.

"—done."

Barupa's voice. At that time, the four Excaliburs, located in the center of the school hall, began to shine very brightly.

Kirkbol clapped his hands in the air.

"Four Excalibur turned into one."

The divine light spread throughout the schoolyard.

Excalibur was originally a handful, and although it was divided into seven, the four over there were becoming one.

After the dazzling light ended, in the center of the school courtyard was a holy sword that released a blue-white aura.

Thanks to the light that comes from Excalibur when it turns into a handful, the rest of the spell is complete. In less than twenty minutes, the city will collapse. The only way to get rid of it is to defeat Kirkbor. ”

Barupa uttered the shocking words.

What the......

In twenty minutes the city we live in will collapse!?

The Rubik's Cube array, which spread throughout the school courtyard, emitted light and began to gather strength.

In this way, you can't wait for the arrival of the demon king, is it possible······

Want to use my sword?

“·········” Issei hesitated a little, because he didn't know what the consequences would be if his sword and the power of the holy sword collided with each other.

Chances are, it will lead to a larger area than the city limits being razed to the ground!

"Fried!" Kirkbol called the priest's name.

"Yes, boss." The white-haired young priest stepped out of the darkness.

"Go use that Excalibur. It's the last bit of fun. Let me see the battle of the four Excaliburs. ”

"Hey, hey. Really, my boss is so good. But! How honorable it is to be able to use the super wonderful Excalibur? Uh-huh, hey, hey! Let's play with the devil a little! ”

Fried laughed maniacally as he shook the Excalibur in the schoolyard.

"Lias Gimmonri's [Knight], if the common front is still effective, will we destroy the Excalibur together?" Janova said to Kiba.

"Is that okay?" After Kiba asked, Jenova smiled fearlessly.

"In the worst-case scenario, I'll have no problem recovering the [debris] that Excalibur turned into a nucleus. Since it was used by Fried, it was already a holy sword, and it was not a holy sword. The so-called holy sword is also the same as ordinary weapons. It changes depending on the user and the occasion - it's a alien sword. ”

"Hehehe......"

Someone was laughing – it was Barupa.

"Barupa Galileo. I am a survivor of the Holy Sword Project. No, it was killed, to be precise. He was reincarnated as a demon and survived. ”

Although Kiba coldly announced to Barupa, there was a flame of hatred in his eyes. Now, according to Barupa's answer, it will be a touch.

"Oh, the survivor of that plan. This is really unfortunate. You can meet in this island nation in the far east. This is also fate. Hehehe. ”

"-Me. It's a love of holy swords. So, even dreaming about it. As a child, the legend of Excalibur has always fascinated me. So, when I knew I didn't have the right fit to become a holy sword maker, I immediately despaired. Suddenly, Barupa spoke.

"I can't use it myself, so I'm looking forward to someone who can use it. This idea escalated, and eventually I immersed myself in the research of the artificial creation of the Holy Sword Envoy. And then it was done. Thanks to you. ”

"What? Finish? Aren't we judged to be defeated and punished? ”

Kiba raised his eyebrows, very surprised.

According to the words of Kiba, Minister Lias and Janova, Kiba should be a failure of the research institute.

That's why it's punished after it's used up, right?

"Noticing that the use of the Holy Sword requires a necessary factor, I investigated the numerical fitness of that factor. Basically all the teenagers and girls of the tested person have a factor, and no matter which one of them is the value that satisfies the control of Excalibur. Then I came to a conclusion. In this case, can you do such a thing as just extracting the factor? —and then ········"

"I see. I know. When the Holy Sword Envoy receives the blessing, what is placed in his body is—"

Jenova seemed to notice the truth, and gritted his teeth in displeasure.

"That's right, the maiden of the Holy Sword Messenger. From the person who possesses the factor, the divine factor is extracted and crystallized. Like this. ”

Barupa took out a glowing orb from his bosom. Very dazzling light. And it also exudes a divine aura.

"Thanks to this, the Holy Sword Envoy's research has made great progress. However, the church guys saw me as a heretic. Research materials were taken away. Seeing you, I guess my research has been inherited by someone. Damn Michael. I wanted to convict me, but it turned out to be like this. Forget it, that's what the angel is. Extracting factors from the subject did not kill. It's a lot more humane than I am. Barupa smiled happily.

"-Kill the comrades and extract the factor of the suitability of the holy sword?" Kiba asked Barupa murderously.

"That's right. This sphere is a product of that time. Fried: They've got three of them. This is the last one. ”

"Hahahaha! The guys except me all died because their bodies couldn't keep up with the factor! Well, I think I'm special. ”

If it's the same as Fried said, the rest of the people who used the stolen Excalibur are dead.

"Are you thinking that this kind of guy is unexpectedly tenacious, Issei-kun? No, no, no. I'm not going to die at that point. ”

“··········” Issei wanted to take out his black holy sword on the spot and give him a glowing cannon.

“…… Barupa Galileo. You have ...... so many lives for the sake of your own research and your own desires."

Kiba's hands trembled, as the magic of anger enveloped the guy all over. Very strong force.

"Hmph. Since you say so, I will give you the crystallization of this factor. Research has been carried out to the point where mass production can be achieved as long as the environment is organized. The first is the destruction of the city with Kirkbor. Then there are the legendary swords that are collected and kept around the world. Then the Holy Sword Envoy was mass-produced, and the unified Excalibur was used to declare war on Michael and the Vatican. Let the stupid angels and the new group who want to condemn me take a good look at my research. ”

That's why Barupa and Kirkbol teamed up. No matter who hates angels. No matter who craves war.

Barupa threw away the crystallization of the no factor as if he had lost interest. The crystals rolled on the ground, to the feet of Kiba.

Kiba quietly bent down and picked up the crystal.

It looked very sad, very loving, and very nostalgic to touch the crystal.

“…… Everybody ......"

Kiba burst into tears. The expression was full of sadness and anger.

That's when it was. The crystals in Kiba's hands began to glow faintly.

The light slowly expanded, eventually expanding to encompass the entire school grounds.

On the floor of the school garden, there are balls of light appearing everywhere and then taking shape.

If you ask what shape it is, it's humanoid.

Surrounding Kiba are young girls who glow with a faint blue and white light.

Could it be, they're —

"The various forces that permeate this battlefield have liberated the forest chaos of the power of the factor sphere." Senior Sister Zhu Nai said.

Kiba looked at them with a sad and nostalgic expression.

"Everyone! I...... I! ”

They are the same people who are involved in the Holy Sword Project as Kiba—the people who have been punished.

“…… Always...... All the time, I thought. Just、I'm the only one who survives...... okay? There are people who pay more attention to dreams than me. There are people who want to survive more than I do. Is it really good for me to live peacefully alone......"

One of the boy's souls smiled and said something to Kiba.

His mouth was moving, but Issei didn't know how to read lips, so he didn't know what he was talking about.

Then, Senior Sister Zhu Nai said in her place.

"...... [Leave it alone, we'll do it. You have to live well. That's what they said. ”

After saying this, Kiba's eyes filled with tears.

The souls of the boys and girls all move their mouths regularly.

Is it singing?

"—the chant."

Senior Sister Zhu Nai said.

They were singing hymns...... Kiba also opened his mouth and sang hymns while crying.

That is, the only thing that was saved and dreamed of under the arduous human trials -

That is, the only motivation to survive in a cruel life -

As they sang, Kiba smiled like young children.

——！

Their souls radiated a blue-white glow. The brightness shines around Kiba.

[We, we can't speak alone-]

[Our ability to control the Holy Sword is not enough. But——]

[If you gather everyone, there will definitely be no problem-]

Even they could hear themselves.

Originally, the demon would have felt pain when he heard the words of the chant.

Now this school court has formed a special force field due to various forces, and even if the demon listens to the chant, he will not feel pain.

On the contrary, I felt warm. The thoughts and warmth of friends and comrades——

Unconsciously, even his own self, who had become a little heartless and tearless due to the influence of the black holy sword, shed tears.

[Accept the Holy Sword——]

[It's not scary-]

[Even if God is gone—]

Even if God isn't watching—]

[Our hearts will all be together——]

"—together."

Their souls rose to the sky, and a great light fell to Kiba.

A gentle divine light envelops Kiba.

[Partner.] At this point, Drager accosted Issei.

[The "knight" has arrived.] 】

[The artifact will change and evolve more and more strongly based on the owner's thoughts. However, there are different areas that exist from this. When the holder's thoughts and wishes can violently reverse the "flow" in this world, the artifact will arrive. That's right, that's—] Draiger laughed happily.

[-Forbidden hands.] 】
