Chapter 318

Chapter 318

TL: Zimmings

She became more and more bizarre.

The cheeks soaked in blood tears were filled with disgusting scales like a fish.

Suddenly, Mina rushed toward me. It happened so quickly that I couldn't avoid it.

As soon as Mina's blade-like nails were about to touch me...

Someone wrapped one arm around me and pulled me back.

"Baal!"

I could see Baal's hair on mine.

"You can't fight that beast with your own strength right now, so run away."

"A beast... are you talking about Mina who has become a holy beast?"

"Yes."

Usually, when devils call Mina, they call her Neliard's Child.

Otherwise, I sometimes call her child of fate but it was the first time to say monster.

Things with amazing power are often described as 'monstrous', but Baal doesn't seem to mean that.

'It's like a real beast... no way.'

I asked, clutching Baal's collar.

"Did Mina become a holy beast? Completely?"

"Yes. The devils you had as well."

"Are you sure? Huh? Really? Can you take responsibility for your words?"

"......."

Baal sighed softly.

"I don't understand how the devils could tolerate you up until now. Unbelievable."

In a distance, I could see Pur's ears perked up, and Boone's twitching.

I laughed awkwardly.

Pur and Boone were precious to me, but I didn't really know much about them.

"No, I didn't know that Boone and Pur were considered holy beasts as well..."

Baal said, blocking Mina's attack with one hand.

"You can trust me. The ancient people used to call me the seer."

Come to think of it, Baal was the only devil with two powers.

The ability to control plants, <Abundance> and <Truth>, the ability to see through the opponent.

'The wise devil is the best!'

The best strategist inside my etwal could borrow wisdom from my devils, but I had never used it properly because I liked to call out devils with powerful offensive power instead.

'A devil I can rely on is precious!'

Pur and Boone looked at me sadly.

I thought after ignoring their gaze.

'Anyway, that's why humans couldn't kill the holy beast.'

Because it has become an existence from another world. It was impossible to kill them with the power of the human world, and only me who used the power of the devil was able to kill those holy beasts.

'Then if I find a way to get rid of it, I can deal with those holy beasts at once.'

In that case, the power of the temple could be neutralized.

At that time.

Swish-!

A sharp wave flew from the 5 o'clock direction.

"You're relaxed, Baal. You dare to take your eyes off me from your opponents."

It was Agareth.

Baal, who avoided the waves by leaping, put me down.

The place where Agareth's wave passed was ruined.

I hid behind Baal and looked at Agareth.

After Mina turned into a holy beast, the appearance of the devils on Mina's side also changed.

It looked terribly terrifying, like Boone and Pur, who had been assimilated to my anger in the past.

I asked Baal.

"Can you win?"

"It depends on how much power you have left."

Then I noticed that the veins were visible from my forearm.

'The next 10-20 minutes, I won't be able to keep the devil.'

Unlike Mina, which draws mana from people, I was maintaining the devil with my own power.

Pur and Bune were using this power at the same time, and in addition, another devil, Baal, was called out.

I'm glad I didn't collapse already.

"Then what do we do now?"

Baal said as he blocked the wave from Agareth.

"Can you cut off the power that leads to Agareth for about five minutes?"

"You want to subdue Mina?"

"Yes."

It's impossible.

Pur and Boone are having a hard time fighting against Bardin, and Baal is against Agareth.

Humans are the only ones left, but human power cannot overpower Mina, who has become a holy beast.

If we approach it rather than suppress it, we may.

'If I had more power...... No, at least if there's something that'll make Mina wake up......!'

At that moment.

The surroundings shone, and a considerable number of people appeared from the east. The one who led them is......,

"Lionel?"

"Hi, lady."

It was Lionel, the grandchild of my godmother and successor of Archduke Locard.

Lionel, who grew up a lot and was taller than me, smiled.

Lionel exclaimed.

"Locard's army, we support Dubblede."

At the same time, someone appeared from the west.

"5,000 soldiers, we will join Dubled."

It was Deglid.

And from the south...

"Shuheil, prepare to advance."

Edgar Shuheil appeared.

Finally from the north...

With a dazzling light, the emperor appeared in golden armor.

When I saw a man standing at the front, I hardened.

A white horse that was contrasting with my dad's black horse.

A silver armor, a symbol of the Imperial Army, and a robe with the pattern of a golden lion.

An iron mask with horns in the center of the forehead.

It was Vincent Amity, the hero of the empire, which made the people cheer and the enemy tremble just by appearing on the battlefield.

He shouted.

"Central army, annihilate the group that ruined our reputation."

Thump, Thump, Thump, Thump-!

Soldiers thumped their feet to announce their participation from all sides, and at the same time, cheers burst out.

With this kind of force, Mina may be able to be subdued.

'Since the Duke Amity had come...!'

I looked at Mina.

The Duke of Amity took off his iron mask and looked at Mina, who was looking at him frantically.

"...How did it happen?"

"......."

"How did it happen?"

"...Don't."

"Mina."

"Don't look, don't look, don't look, don't look at me, don't look at me."

I said to Baal.

"Now."

He hit Agareth.

Baal stretched out his hand, and a sprout grew out of a vacant lot that was nothing more than a wasteland.

It became a tree in an instant and wrapped around Agareth.

"This......!"

Agareth shouted.

At the same time, I leapt to the base of Baal's wooden pole and ran to Mina and the Duke of Amity.

Duke Amity looked at Mina with a bewildered expression.

"......."

"D- don't look at me, don't look at me, father, father, ah, father."

Duke Amity closed his eyes tightly.

Little by little, Mina's appearance returned to her human form.

The scales were still attached to the cheeks, and her eyes did not return, but the face was recognizable.

She hid her face between her winged arms.

I hurriedly threw a chain of light made of divine power at her.

Kiik!!

When Mina screamed, the Duke of Amity shouted.

"Leblaine!"

"You brought the mages right? Hurry up and overpower Mina. Those who can't use magic, please step back!"

"She was your sister."

At Duke Amity's words, I glanced at him.

He asked with a stern expression on his face.

"Doesn't it make you feel sad?"

"I would feel more pitt for the people Mina killed to become like that."

"I won't deny that she's guilty. But..."

"But because of the same words, Mina has become like this!"

I pounded my chest.

"Because you taught me that! By teaching hypocrisy and how to make excuses!

"......."

"Why are you making excuses for the war? Which are the victims and perpetrators? From the moment of the war, Mina and I were nothing more than killers!"

"......."

He was exactly like Mina.

They say that Duke Amity's first love resembles her as if she was born in another world.

But now I don't think so.

"Mina is a product of Duke Amity."

"......What?"

"Because she was raised that way."

"......."

"She was taught that killing people in war is inevitable for the sake of the commoners."

"......."

"The reason why she repeatedly confronted Dubblede was not because my father's method was evil, but because it did not meet the duke's standards. You were jealous that my mother was taken away, and you made an excuse by saying, 'Dubblede is not moral.' You taught Mina how to make excuses!"

"......."

Duke Amity looked at me blankly, as if in shock.

"That's what Mina was taught, how to make an excuse for malice into goodness!"

"......."

"But now you're going to give her another excuse? Stop it!"

The Duke of Amity murmured.

"I'm not like that... I'm..."

"Don't say you love me, because it's disgusting."

"Leblaine..."

"Did you really love us? Then you shouldn't discriminate against me."

"......."

"Why did you love Mina more than me? Because she resembles your first love?"

"......."

"If you love Mina so much, why did you bring the soldiers to this place? You love me more this time?"

"......."

I burst out laughing.

"No? It's not Mina or me that the duke loved, but the duke himself. You're obsessed with your first love that you couldn't get."

"......."

"And we ended up like this with the duke's emotional play."

"......."

Mina shouted.

"Ha, don't, don't, don't, don't, father's not bad, bad, not bad."

"......."

"Father, father, father, father, father, father."

At that moment, Mina was arrested by the mages.

Mina cried out in pain, and when he heard the scream, the Duke of Amity's expression collapsed.

I took out the bow I was carrying on my shoulder and aimed the bow at Mina.

"Le, Leblaine, Leblaine. Leblaine, Leblaine..."

"Sister!"

"I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you, I hate you."

"Thanks for being my sister."

"Take it, take it away, take it away, everything, everything, everything, you, everything.

"Let's be born as real sisters in the next life."

I looked at Mina and said.

"No, Mina."

"Le, Leblaine, Leblaine."

"I never want to meet you in my next life."

"Le, Leblaine, Leblaine, Leblaine, Leblaine."

"Now let's finish up."
