Episode 160

“uh… uh?”

“… … ?”

“this is… … .”

It was a fleeting moment, and the halo of light disappeared before anyone knew it.

The demonic swords no longer emitted light, and the voice quickly died down.

Shion repeats those sentences while looking down at the acid lane.

‘Perhaps the five sources… … .’

El Tesoix and Acid Rain were created at the beginning of the demonic swords, but the other five demonic swords were created after that.

If you put the two sentences together, the five sources would have meant the five demonic swords.

‘Creating Salvation… … .’

Shion looks at those who have the magic sword and is confident.

One of those five people must have been placed as the target.

In other words, even if they were alone, they could escape from the crisis of destruction.

‘The one who embraces light and darkness… Are you talking about someone who can use El Tesoicv and Acid Lane together?’

There was no reason to worry.

Because a long time ago, there were people who used El Tesoicve and Acid Rain at the same time.

The result of that was also almost the same as the sentence conveyed by the voice.

‘But I couldn’t completely annihilate it then.’

The human who used the two demonic swords killed the demon and the dragon, but ended up reviving in a different form.

If he really wanted to destroy evil, he would have to clearly resonate with El Tesoicb and Acid Rain.

‘Something is strange… … .’

It seemed like something was mentioned that wasn’t necessary.

If only demons and dragons, or the three great demons and the four great calamities are exterminated, peace will naturally come.

In other words, even if there was only a magic sword of light and a demon sword of darkness, he would be able to achieve what he wanted.

But why did he have to create salvation while using up to five demonic swords?

‘Are there more enemies? Is this world suddenly collapsing?’

It was a sentence made by combining seven demonic swords.

It must have a meaning appropriate to it, and it must have been a warning as a kind of prophecy.

Maybe it wouldn’t end just by annihilating the demons and dragons.

‘What exactly does connecting the five sources mean?’

Since the expression itself is comprehensive, it was not possible to conclude.

That all five demonic swords must be used, or that changes can be derived from five demonic swords, or that five demonic swords must be combined into one.

Depending on the interpretation, there were various ways to come out.

‘If that’s the case, embracing light and darkness… … .’

“Did everyone hear the voice?”

Brandis breaks the silence and scans the surroundings.

Then, they seemed to notice each other, and soon Uter came out first.

“Yes, Your Majesty. I heard.”

“… Have you heard of black?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“How about white?”

“I listened carefully.”

“How can I accept this?”

Even Shion and Enrite couldn’t answer that question.

In the first place, I couldn’t predict what would happen after all the magic swords and magic sword users gathered.

Above all, the content was so abstract that I couldn’t even get a direction right now.

“Unfortunately, I think we should discuss it. Give us some time and we will try to interpret its meaning.”

“Will there be an answer by discussing it? If it had been easy, it would have ended right here.”

Brandis had already noticed the meaning of the two sentences.

According to the contents, the results should have already come out.

Because the prerequisites, the five sources, light and darkness, were in place.

However, it stopped here because those who inherited the five sources and those who embraced light and darkness did not appear.

“Shouldn’t we wait a little longer? Isn’t it something you can get by wishing for it?”

Brandis looked at Shion while erasing Gerganber’s form.

The body only suffered if the mind went ahead.

Demonic sword users, including Shion, must have come this far after going through all sorts of hardships.

Wouldn’t it only increase the burden if I asked them to do so?

“I will try to find a way. So why don’t you guys rest and prepare for the next battle?”

“… I will obey the king’s command.”

Shion bowed her head and answered humbly.

Then, one after another, the others bowed and swallowed silence.

“This is not a royal name. This is my advice as your colleague. Am I not using a demonic sword like you?”

“… … ?”

Brandis steps forward with a smile on her face.

Those who remained couldn’t take their eyes off the figure until Brandis left.

Enrite belatedly shakes off her worries and looks at the acid rain that Shion is holding.

‘If Shion Regiard is a person who embraces light and darkness… I can annihilate them.’

* * *

The residence of the Duke of Adelaira, Zion’s room.

Shion threw away even his regular training and shut himself up in his room.

I would have to try swinging the sword even for a moment, but I was reluctant because I had a lot of worries.

I wish I could catch at least a strand, but I couldn’t dig into anything in detail.

‘Five sources… light and darkness… … .’

Shion tried to find the answer by repeating the sentences he heard then.

Certainly, if this was done, not only would demons and dragons be annihilated, but a firm peace would be established.

Otherwise there could be no mention of creating salvation.

‘Even if evil is destroyed, it’s meaningless if it doesn’t survive.’

In the process of disappearing demons and dragons, many things may be destroyed and die.

Even if the demons and dragons were annihilated, if nothing remained, it would only be futile.

Perhaps the creation of salvation means the act of protecting countless lives while preventing the destruction of this world.

‘Even if I survive, if I can’t destroy the evil, I have to keep fighting.’

Of course, you can try to maintain this situation while neglecting the demons and dragons.

However, you will continue to suffer damage, and you will always have to live with anxiety.

Even if he created salvation and saved his life, the same process would only repeat itself.

‘There is a person out of seven who can do that… ‘

If the premise conditions are examined in detail, they are divided into two categories.

Two people using the original demon sword and five people using the other five demon swords.

Because it was light and darkness, it could destroy evil, and because it had five sources, it could create salvation.

‘I hope no one gets hurt… It’s not easy.’

Shion is haunted by a vague sense of uneasiness as he recalls the battle with Narak.

When fighting the Shadow Dragon, it was so advantageous, and the Great King was quickly defeated by the King with the Magic Sword.

However, he had to give up his life for Narak King, and it was only after he was resurrected that he was able to completely end it.

‘This time, someone else might be like that.’

So far, fortunately, no major forces have been injured.

But that luck wasn’t going to follow him anytime.

That’s why I was trying to find a way to win for sure.

‘This should be the last fight… … .’

Shion was conscious of the slime dragon and even the demon god.

No matter how great the last artificial demon sword is, it cannot be compared to the power of the three great demon kings.

Now that I couldn’t even regain my strength, there was no reason to pay attention.

Still, why are you so concerned?

‘I should have killed him then… … .’

Harnette entered the room with a knock on the door.

Hannette stopped hastily with a displeased expression on her face.

“How long are you going to stay like this?”

“Has it only been two days yet?”

“Why are you always in your room? Don’t you have to do some training?”

“Even if that’s later… … .”

“Where is later? I have to do it right now!”

Harnette grabbed Shion’s wrist and pulled it with all her might.

Zion can’t stand it and is led out as it is.

“Sister, there are still things to think about… … .”

“Don’t think. It’s not what you need.”

“… … .”

Shion looks down at the hand holding her, lost for words.

A small hand gripped her wrist with all her might.

I could get away with it right away, but I had no choice but to reluctantly follow it because the heart was transmitted.

“You think too much. It’s okay even if it’s just for a moment, so do as I say. Okay?”

“… okay.”

At the same time as the answer, the hand holding the wrist loosened.

Shion laughed and cleared his mind.

For some reason, it seemed as if a peaceful future was being drawn.

‘Looks like you’re already married.’

* * *

Caronbelaz Continent, deep inside a cave.

The Demon God arrived with a hard time leading the wounded body.

He escaped by using the demonic sword of eternal life, Gail Verza, but was unable to heal his wounds.

If it hadn’t been sealed due to the side effects of the ability, wouldn’t it have reduced the pain?

“Kahag… … .”

The demon pours out black blood with its body stretched out.

He mixed his magic with the bones of a dragon, but could it be that powerful?

‘Until the wound heals… I have to hide… … .’

In my heart, I wanted to cross over to the borderline of this world and seek safety.

However, since he acquired a body, he could not escape from this world, and even opening the passage consumes mana.

Now, while conserving his strength, he would have to wait for the seal of Gail Verza to be lifted.

‘nothing… I can’t… … .’

The Demon God lamented deeply in a sense of helplessness.

Following King Narak, even King Daehae was beaten by demonic sword users.

Part of the Immortal King’s power was lost, and even the dragon’s sword, Dran Calgonis, was taken away.

It was so miserable, and now I wondered if even the future seemed bleak.

‘Four Great Disasters… Dragon… … .’

It was a last resort and a method that had to be used even by force.

He couldn’t defeat the magic sword users with his own strength.

After the slime dragon ate all the four major disasters, the possibility would arise.

‘I don’t like it… I’ll have to take that power… … .’

The power of the dragon is divided between the four major disasters.

Because the Shadow Dragon was annihilated, it couldn’t be perfected, but that’s why it was able to aim for an opening.

It was best for the slime dragon to devastate humans, and even if it collapsed, he could use it himself.

‘Becoming a drinker… I will give up… … .’

It will be the first and last moment, and there is no choice but to transform into something other than a demon.

Because you have to accept the separated power while losing your own power.

I would probably lose my sanity as well, but even that was bearable.

‘I… nothing to lose… … .’

It was driven to the point of being driven, and there was no place left to retreat.

You can throw your body without hesitation because you don’t have anything.

That’s why I was trying to throw away even my own ego.

‘Surely this world… I will destroy… … .’
