Chapter 40: The Worst Progress (3)

"Bang!"

Moore's kick missed, and the warrior's body was bounced off by the invisible aura before it could make contact with Alphonse. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info is not just as simple as the word "bounce off" describes, the right leg that was kicked out suffered a broken pain, and the seemingly thin body flew out lightly backwards while leaving a blood line in the air.

"Smack!"

There was little he could do to avoid the impact when he fell, and all he could do was turn his paralyzed body to his side a little while trying to lift his head up. The body weight fell to the ground, and the warrior who finally didn't let his head touch the ground immediately turned back, the will to fight was still there but he couldn't get up for the time being, and the blood on his waist was gurgling, which meant that the vitality was slowly draining.

He lost the bet.

Originally, it would have been unwise to rush into hand-to-hand combat without knowing the enemy's capabilities, but the current situation would not allow him to slowly find out the enemy's situation. The condition of his companions is unknown, and only one of them can be regarded as combat power, but the usual weapon has been damaged, the physical strength is good, the magic power is only less than half, and the wound on the waist is bleeding profusely, and everything prompts the warrior to fight quickly.

So, Moore decided to take a gamble, betting that his enemy had already suffered considerable damage in the battle with Kyle. Pure gambling is never advisable, so there is a tactic just now, and to be honest, it is the best solution he can think of in a short period of time.

"Hahaha, it's always so much fun to reverse the outcome of a battle all at once!"

There was a bit of mania in the cold voice, but it seemed to be a precursor to the collapse of reason. Alphonse, who cast the "Barrier" for the third time in a short period of time, was not much better off than Mohr, forcibly using magic to the point that the magic was regurgitating his nerves, and the middle-aged man, who was unable to make any more movements, also fell to the ground defenselessly.

He fell harder than Moore.

The fog gradually dissipated.

After choking on a mouthful of blood, Alphonse immediately had the strength to get back to his feet, looking so badly injured that he couldn't stop laughing, but he wasn't laughing at the enemy's defeat or praising his own victory.

"Hahaha......"

He thought he was going crazy.

So, what should be done at such times is to praise the true God if that thing really exists.

"I have a question before I kill you. Well, I'm not bothered to use the 'I'll spare you if I tell me all' lie, so don't worry. While he spoke calmly, his body kept shaking. Alphonse looked up at the sky, and one of his eyes, which had been temporarily closed by the bright light, quietly opened, and engraved everything in front of him in his mind.

The sky was blue.

However, this blue color is not pure.

"It's okay if you don't answer, it's your freedom. And, even if you don't say it, I know that you're just as ...... No, why do I say that? Hahahaha!"

With his still able right hand caressing his cheek, Alphonse continued to laugh maniacally.

His facial features began to spill blood with this unsettling laughter, presumably the result of a magical backlash.

――What about your question?

It's hard to believe, and Moore himself couldn't have imagined that he would have such a relaxed idea in such an urgent situation in front of him, perhaps because he was also affected by this man's "madness".

The warrior slowed his breathing, trying to squeeze a little more strength out of his body.

"I have a problem too. "Whether they sit back and wait or resign themselves to fate, neither is the path that a warrior will choose. In a matter of life and death, he chose to do what he could, "Have you ever heard of the name 'Lance'?"

Moore also has something that must be confirmed. However, at this time, it seemed that his words were more like the courage to delay time or disturb the thinking of the other side, of course, he did not have any hope that the man in front of him who was close to madness would answer this matter from the beginning.

"Lance? Alphonse replied earnestly, at least as it seemed. Twisting his neck at an eerie angle to Moore's side, the pupils of the only eyes he could open dilate, revealing a fierce gaze, "Who's that?" wait...... Could it be that you are talking about it, that one in the blue robe? that idealist who doesn't know where he came from, who is full of laughing and dead words? Hahahahaha!"

"Haha! That person has great strength, but he is so naïve? Hahahaha, it's really unbearable...... Wait a minute, if you and he are both, I was really abandoned? haha...... No wonder. ”

The maniacal laughter was halfway through, but it turned into a bleak voice as he talked to himself.

His transformation caused Moore to clarify certain facts and raise new questions.

"Hey, I'll ask the second question!" The body finally twisted as well, and Alphonse seemed completely unaware that he hadn't asked "the first time" at all, "You, you! and the one named Lance, you are not Ekavia...... That woman's men?"

- Ikavia?

Suddenly, hearing the name of the female lord, combined with the man's previous speech and behavior, a certain idea that could be called "abnormal" and "ridiculous" appeared in Moore's mind.

"It's not. ”

The warrior's subconscious answer was categorical.

"Really......, not? Kyle, why is he here?!"

"We're kind of companions now. The purpose is different, and the things to be done are the same. Seeing that the enemy is finally no longer almost flawless, although he is very concerned about what he originally wanted to say in his slip of the tongue, Moll, who has gathered a little strength, has already decided to launch another desperate attack, "We want to avenge Lance's death due to your attack, and Kyle is ordered to 'annihilate' you!"

"Poof!"

The sound of a sharp object piercing through flesh abruptly appeared in Moore's ears. In the field of view of the warrior who was about to rise and attack, a hard and sharp stone cone came out of his chest from the left side, which was a cruel and beautiful red.

"Ahem......"

The same bright red flowed from the corners of his mouth, and Moore's voice gradually faded.

The stalagmite of earth elemental magic, which appeared behind the man who fell to the ground and seriously injured him, was a masterpiece of elemental magic.

"So, who is the one who is being distracted?" The corners of his mouth turned into a cruel smile, and the playful words made it impossible to confirm whether he had gone crazy or not.

Maybe it's all just acting, whether it's madness or reason, the answer is probably only known to Alphonse himself.

"Thank you for the information. The warrior who had not moved solemnly gave a military salute, but the middle-aged man's gaze pointed to the other side, where the female magician dressed in flames had already struggled to get up, "Fire elemental mage, phew, after today, I don't want to use enchanted magic again, so how about using your favorite elemental magic to send you to meet your companions?"

"I'm going to give you the same death as him, well, I'm so merciful......"

Covered in blood, he will continue to fight.
