Chapter 11 What is a promise?

What is Promise?

If it's just sweet words spoken in moments of happiness, then it's not called a promise.

What is Promise?

If you don't want to obey, when you say it, then it will be shattered in an instant.

Wherever you go, I will follow in your footsteps.

No matter where you are, I'll be with you.

So, any time you whisper my name, you will understand that this is the promise I have made to you.

Because, that's what I am.

==================

"Night!"

Edward said that he would stay by the side of the night forever, never leave her, and let her be his servant for the rest of his life.

That was his promise, and sadly, Edward could no longer keep it.

"How can this be, how can this be!"

The limbs are paralyzed and stiff, but the pain in my heart will not go away. Edward tried to break free from the barrier, but in the end he could only wriggle his head ugly.

"Edward, don't move...... Huh, what's that?"

Before Idil could hold down Edward's writhing head, he suddenly found that the white moon that he had casually thrown on the ground was actually suspended in mid-air.

The mournful white moon devoured the blood stained with the blades, transforming them into the sharpest rays of blood, shooting into the boundless darkness.

"Oops, this broken dagger actually broke the barrier?Move fast! Don't let them run......"

The barrier is out of control, which means that Edward and Emilia are free again. These two men are clearly not going to continue to be at the mercy of others.

Idill ordered several of his subordinates to gather around Edward in an attempt to keep the silver-haired boy with decadent panda eyes under control, but unfortunately, he underestimated Edward's anger.

The moment the barrier was broken, Edward, who had almost lost his mind, became even more insane. He snapped off his enemy's neck, then slammed his body into the fool who stood in his way, and ran away into the night in desperation.

Edward, who is mild-mannered and even more approachable than ordinary humans, finally reveals his manic side at this moment.

Like a murderous orc, his eyes are bloodshot and he has only one thought in his head - all those who get in the way, die!

"Up, catch him!"

"It's you, Idir!" came an old voice.

"Who?" Hearing a voice from the other side, Idil panicked.

He's already arranged, and there shouldn't be anyone else here except his men. But who is this voice?

"Angelina, quick, can't let them run!

"Old man Kane, can you still do this old bone?"

"Hahaha, don't forget, I'm a ninth-level Grand Magister!

"Hehe, that's up to you!"

"Headmaster of Hoag House, Kane...... Is it you?"

Taking advantage of Idil's stunned efforts, Emilia also ran to Edward's side.

At this moment, the three of them were surrounded by Idil and his men, while Kane and Angelina appeared at the other end of the room.

"I'll talk about it later, anyway...... You guys should survive first!"

Purple arcane chains erupted, and under the suppression of absolute power, all enemies would be knocked down by Kane one by one.

It's just that it takes a little time.

"Why...... Why is this happening......"

Holding the corpse of the night, and letting the blood stain his clothes and pants, Edward's face was expressionless, and the few tears that remained had dried up.

There is no greater mourning than death...... Edward couldn't do anything other than hold her in his arms and feel her body temperature cool a little with his own arms.

Kane had seen this scene in his prophecy.

Last summer, he didn't know Edward's identity or what the future would bring, so he had the audacity to prophesy three things using his newfound prophecy.

The first is the future of Hogg House.

Winning the Knight Tryouts and standing at the pinnacle of the Academy of Magic, Kane finally restored his academy to its former prosperity. Just like the prophecy shows. He stood on the last stage, complacent, and talked endlessly about his feelings.

The prophecy came true.

The third is Edward's future.

He doesn't belong to this world, and his future can't be predicted, so Kane's prophecy fails.

The rest of the prophecy - the second, Emilia's future.

At that time, inside the crystal ball, he saw this sight:

It seems that on that night seven years ago, the brave Emilia fell to the ground, and her life and death were unknown. Bright red blood spilled all over the ground, like blooming roses. Edward crouched beside the Brave, holding a blood-stained silver-white dagger in his hand. And there was a woman next to them, who stared indifferently at the two people in the pool of blood, not knowing whether they were enemies or companions.

The second prophecy also came true.

"The woman, not Emilia, but ...... It's Edward's maid, Night?" Kane gasped.

He was mistaken, very wrong!

The scene in the prophecy was blurry, only black hair and fair skin were seen, and Kane subconsciously thought that the woman who fell to the ground was Emilia, and the woman on the other side was the murderer.

He was wrong...... It turns out that the injured person is not Emilia, but, Night!

"Why, why is this ......happening," Edward's roar pierced the thick walls, "Kane, save her, save her! Aren't you very good at healing, I'm willing to grant you all the conditions, as long as you revive her, please!"

“......”

I don't know if it was because he was too focused on the battle to hear Edward's question, or because he couldn't bear to say a cruel answer, Kane didn't respond at all, but silently joined the battle with Angelina, trying his best to knock down all the enemies in the room in the shortest possible time and protect their safety.

"No, no, there must be another way, there must be ......"

"Edward, be careful!" Exclaimed Amilia.

The sound of a bell.

Seeing that the situation is not good, Idir no longer intends to capture the two of them alive, but instead intends to use them as hostages and confront Kane.

A hidden arrow aimed at Edward was blocked by Emilia, and she scolded loudly, "What's the matter?

"......" did not respond.

"She's dead, you know that, don't you? So, don't lie to yourself anymore!"

"Are you glad she's dead?" said Edward coldly.

"I-I......" Exhemilia cried out red-faced, "you bastard! she's dead, but you're still alive, what's the use of standing stupidly, do you want to die too?"

"What are you talking about now? Can't even Kane save her, who else can? And ...... Wait!"

At this, Edward was suddenly stunned.

No amount of clever healing techniques can bring the dead back to life, and there is only one way to resurrect the dead.

"Wait...... And, yes, and me!" Edward laughed maniacally.

"Hey, Edward, what do you want to do?" Amilia observed Edward's movements as she dealt with the enemy in front of her.

He picked up a sword from the ground. It was an ordinary black long sword, and he had used it to kill the Black Flame Gang with Emilia before.

It wasn't until the sword was held in Edward's palm again that Emilia finally saw what it looked like.

"The sword...... What? That's, the Sword of Calamity?"

Not only Emilia, but even Idil was shocked.

The mediocre black long sword actually exuded a formidable aura at this moment. A faint black mist, swirling around the long blades of the sword, the gloomy black engulfing the only remaining light in the room, returning everything to chaos.

It seems to be the legendary evil object that symbolizes curse and calamity, the Sword of Calamity.

"If I can turn back time and go back in time, then what's not to do it again?" said Edward to Emilia in an unwavering voice in the darkness, "help me stop them, just a moment!" ”

"Wait, Edward, do you want to travel through the rift in time and space? No, your current body can't stand the turbulence of time and space!"

With only two Demon King Seals, Edward's strength was less than one-third of his peak, and he was powerless to resist in the face of the relentless turbulence of time and space, and would be ground into pulp in a matter of seconds.

"Anyway, there's always a way to ......," Edward muttered irresponsibly.

Now, that's all he can do.

"No, you can't...... Ahh

Suddenly slashed in the ribs, Emilia clutched her wounds and used her remaining Holy Spirit to bounce off the enemy's charge.

As if sensing Edward's actions, Idil rushed towards Edward desperately, desperately trying to snatch the cursed sword from his hand at all costs.

By this time, Edward was ready to bear all the curses.

"Night, I won't let you go away like this. You can't go anywhere without my permission!"

[Protect her, this time]

The cry from the depths of his soul filled Edward with strength.

Although he had never used the Sword of Calamity, for some reason, his body was already familiar with its use. Just holding Calamity lightly, he knew what he needed to do to turn back the damn time.

It was to drive this sword that, therefore, in this world, he chose to become a magic swordsman.

This may be his fate.

"Time...... Give it to me, jump!"

A sword, cut the sky.

The scene around him began to distort, and a huge spatial crack instantly swallowed Edward.

This world has nothing to do with him anymore.

At the last second, what he saw was the poor girl who fell to the ground, her body gradually becoming cold and stiff, and the emaciated black-haired brave man, even if she was stabbed in the ribs and drenched in blood, she still stood firm in blocking all the enemies.

I can't accept such an ending!

If this is the curse of calamity, then ......

No matter how terrible the price is, I am willing to bear all those curses.

Just again, again

This time, I'm going to protect her!!) )
