Chapter 198: Sacrifice
The rapier in her right hand was pointed at Lin Yiyan, Yugeo, and Cardinal. The blade of the sword is surrounded by pure white sparks.
"Don't get your way!!" The one who shouted in response was Alice, the integration knight. The sword of Jinmuxi, which should have reached the limit of the Mandate of Heaven, split with a click, turning into a golden chain and galloping in the air. Almost at the same time, a huge thunderbolt with a deafening roar struck straight in this direction.
The tip of the chain is in contact with a pure white lightning bolt. Immediately afterward, the rushing energy struck Alice's right hand along the chain in one go. At this moment, however, the golden chain reached out again, and the small blade at the end stood on the marble floor. The lightning could not get out of this loop, and the huge energy hit the entire tower at once, and it disappeared with only the sound of explosions and white smoke.
Alice's left index finger pointed straight at the administrator and exclaimed, "Lightning strikes didn't work for me!!" ”
"You knight doll bitch...... Less arrogant!! The ruler with crooked lips and scolding once again appeared with a sad smile and waved his silver sword high.
"So...... What about this!? ”
Bang bang!! With a low roar, countless red dots appeared around the blade. No matter how you look at it, the number has exceeded thirty. If all of these were to become hot elements, it would easily exceed the limit of twenty elements that humans could control.
The Sword of Gold's total domination is not very good at dealing with amorphous attacks like flames, as had been evident in previous battles with Chuderkin. However, the Golden Knight had no intention of retreating, and instead stepped forward with his right foot, the heel of his boot rattling on the ground. As if sensing the determination of the owner, the small pieces that had been combined into chains made a metallic sound and lined up in the air with a metallic sound.
As the two confronted each other, the purple glow that surrounded Yugeo continued to grow infinitely. Suddenly, Yugeo's body suddenly lost strength, but instead of falling, he floated slightly in the air. With his eyes closed, the clothes on Yugeo's body, floating horizontally in the air, disappeared as if evaporated.
Pillars of light protruding from his forehead reached the ceiling. Then, as if in response to this call, a crystal embedded in the eye of a bird flying in the ancient sky in the intricate painting glows with dazzling brilliance. The thirty or so crystals buried in the ceiling, which are the memory fragments that were taken away by the integrated knights, should all be activated as the 'owner' of the Colossus of the Sword. However, the bird's crystal broke away from the ceiling as if it were pulsating, and kept descending in the pillar of light.
That crystal
Maybe, no, absolutely, yes. That's the fragment of Knight Alice's memory.
It was previously speculated that Alice was taken away during the integration ceremony, perhaps it was a memory related to her sister Serka. However, if that had happened, Serka would have been taken out of the Loulid Church two years ago and turned into a sword in this room.
If it's not a selka...... Who are the memories stored in that crystal? The double-pointed hexagonal act-shaped crystal did not answer the question surging in Lin Yiyan's heart, and fell quietly from above. The sword of the green rose on the ground also floated into the air, slowly spinning, and the tip of the sword stopped at the heart of Yugeo.
Eugeo's well-trained white body is lined up in a straight line with the ice-blue blade of the Sword of the Green Rose, and the transparent crystal prism. At the same time, the administrator in the distance also swung his rapier with a scream.
"Burn them all down!!" The thirty hot elements floating around the rapier fused into one and launched into a huge fireball.
"I said it...... I won't let you get away with it!! Alice, who replied awe-inspiringly, pointed her right hand towards the flame vortex. The small cross blade floating beside her condensed in an instant, turning into a huge shield. The knight waved his shield in his right hand and jumped high, throwing his whole body into a large and astonishing fireball.
Spikes.
There was a brief silence.
The explosion that followed, large enough to shake the enclosed space. The heat and flashes of light, as well as the shock waves, spread through the spacious room, scorching most of the blanket that lay out in the room. The body of the Colossus of the Sword that stopped in the distance shook violently, and even the administrator on the other end covered his face with his left arm.
However, protected by Alice's body, I could only breathe rapidly in the heat fluctuations. Neither the floating Yugeo nor Cardinal, who was held between Lin Yiyan's arms, were affected by the explosion. After a few seconds, the flames that swept through the room vanished like child's play
Alice fell with a thud from the center of the explosion. After a short while, the sword of Kaneki, which had regained its original shape, also stuck into the ground beside its master as if it had lost its strength.
Alice's blue and white knight's uniform was charred and smoking everywhere. The skin was extensively injured, and the Mandate of Heaven was undoubtedly lost. Although she seemed to have lost consciousness and never moved her body again, the precious few seconds that Alice had won finally allowed Cardinal to complete the final operation.
Surrounded by a pillar of purple light, Yugeo's body lost its physical form and suddenly became transparent. The sword of the green rose sank into the center of his chest as if it had been sucked in, and then it became a translucent light that completely assimilated with its master. Again, there was a strong flash. In front of Lin Yiyan's field of vision, who couldn't help but want to close his eyes, Yugeo's body turned into countless points of light and decomposed. Then the points of light gathered again as if they had been swept into a vortex.
After an instant, what was floating in the air was no longer the body of a close friend. Rather, it was a huge sword with a pure white blade that was slightly bluish, a cross sword, and a hilt.
The blade was about the same length and width as Eugeo's original size, with graceful arcs extending from the root and shrinking into a sharp point. The purple prism, which was still floating in the air, approached as if it was about to be pasted, and clicked into the small groove that ran through the center of the blade.
Cardinal's left arm hung limply and fell to the ground. Her lips trembled slightly, and her last words sounded in the air like a breeze.
release…… recollection.
Cha! With a sharp resonance tone, the fragment of memory of the double-pointed hexagonal prism Alice glowed with a dazzling brilliance. As if in response, Eugeo's sword made a refreshing sound and floated gently higher up.
Now, the white greatsword is moving with self-consciousness through the same logic as the Colossus of the Sword. In other words, it is based on the power of longing for love that connects the sword forged by the human body with the memories of the person who is the owner.
However, there is an element that exists in the Colossus of the Sword that is not present in Eugeo's sword.
In the heart of the Colossus, the Administrator buried a purple triangular column. Devotional module. It was this thing that distorted the power of love that drove the Colossus and turned it into a killing machine.
"Lijelis, bastard...... I did so much superfluous ......!! The administrator turned his face as if he wanted to protect his eyes from the light of the sword, and shouted, "Even if it is an imitation...... A broken sword like that won't be able to fight against my killing weapon at all! It only takes one blow to break completely!! ”
Administrator waved his left hand, and the eyes of the Colossus of the Sword, which had been silent until now, glowed blue and white again. The huge body made a deafening clicking sound and began to move slowly forward. The blade of Eugeo's sword spun horizontally silently, the tip of the sword aimed straight at the five-mel giant.
The pure white blade increased with another layer of brilliance, and particles of light flew around it. Immediately after, the great sword began to fly with a bell-like sound. The pure white light dragged a long trail through the air like a comet.
…… It's beautiful......
Cardinal in Lin Yiyan's arms said weakly.
People's ...... Love, and the will to release ...... Light...... So...... Beauty......
"Ahhh......h Oh, yes. Lin Yiyan felt tears continue to pour out of his eyes, and replied in a low voice.
Yi Yan...... After that, please, ...... Protection...... World...... And also...... Everyone......
cardinal raised his face with the last of his strength, and his clear eyes looked straight at Lin Yiyan, revealing a steady smile. Seeing that Lin Yiyan nodded wordlessly, the young girl, who was the oldest sage in the world, slowly closed her eyes, exhaled smoothly and then stopped breathing.
Lin Yiyan felt the faint weight on his arms that kept disappearing as if they were melting, and fiery tears poured out. In the rainbow-colored vision, the white greatsword infused with Cardinal's legacy flapped its wings of light and flew straight forward.
The golden colossus opened its arms for the attack, with its broadsword and short knife on its ribs. The countless blades wrapped in darkness turned into fierce jaws and opened their mouths. If you only compare the numerical priority, the greatsword made from the body of Yugeo alone and the sword of the green rose will not be able to compete with the colossus converted from 300 people.
Even so, Yugeo's sword picked up speed and slammed into the Prison of Blades ahead. The tip of the sword was aimed at the purple light that leaked from the gap between the three swords in the center of the colossus's body.
Devotional module. In an instant, gold and pure white collided violently. The black and white light swirled, turned into a swirl, and then exploded. Like a wild beast roaring, the Colossus gritted its fangs and made several metallic sounds. However, before this moment, the white greatsword had pierced deep into a small slit in the colossus's spine.
Lin Yiyan's ears caught the faint sound of breaking. The purple light that leaked out of the spine turned into countless fragments and scattered. The thirty swords, which had been connected together like slime, were soaked in the transparent light that extended from the place where the white swords penetrated.
It was simply the scene of the sorrow of lovers who were forcibly separated, and the healing of the love of Eugeo and Alice. The discordant cry of dying turned into a clear voice little by little, and it spread outward with the resonance. Immediately afterward, the killing weapons that forced us to death, the swords of the whole body were dismantled and separated one by one, and flew in all directions.
