Chapter 175

Harnette can’t take her eyes off Shion, barely suppressing her sorrowful feelings.

Despite being armed with armor, it is reported that he has become weak.

The technique from earlier consumed a considerable amount of mana, and even his physical strength was low.

He must have squeezed out all his strength to die along with him.

“Sigh… Sigh… … .”

Shion sits down and barely supports himself.

The armor created by Acid Rain’s unique ability was slowly disappearing.

Shion was drenched in sweat and could only catch his breath.

“Are you okay? Oh really… … .”

Harnette hurriedly grabbed Shion and chewed her lips.

If he had come a little later, Zion would not have died.

At least it was over because he had disabled the technology by force.

“Sister… Is that right?”

“Whoa… I am.”

“sister… … .”

Shion slowly raised her hand and placed it on Hanette’s cheek.

The warmth that had faded had been filled in.

I was able to erase my doubts, albeit belatedly, because I could feel my heartbeat, albeit weakly.

“Because of me, sister… … .”

“It’s not your fault. I was stupid.”

“I had to protect my sister.”

“Thank you for thinking of me, but I did not follow you to be protected. Because this is my mistake… You don’t have to be sorry.”

Hanette barely manages to continue talking without making eye contact with Shion.

I couldn’t bear to watch Shion cry.

On the contrary, I only tried to listen to her voice because I was disturbed.

“I… Are you going to say I was wrong?”

“I won’t do that this time. I haven’t done anything good either.”

It happened because he allowed the attack.

It would have been enough to evade quickly like Lesia or block it with flames.

I was caught in a surprise attack while chasing after him without thinking, so shouldn’t I see it as my own fault?

“He’s not dead yet… … .”

“Kahha… Dumb… … .”

The slime dragon raises its body slowly and raises its mana.

It was not easy to even move his body because he had suffered quite a bit of damage from that technique.

But luckily he survived, and now he should be able to wipe out the humans.

“Did you save me? A single human could have killed me!”

The slime dragon condensed bright red spheres and glared at the two.

He fell into a crisis for a moment, but another human had to save him.

It was a foolish thing to do to save the same human being.

“This is why humans… … .”

“Quiet.”

Harnette sends out flames with fierce eyes.

Having reached the source, there was no need to convert mana into flame.

You are the flame itself, and the flame has become your source.

“Big… Kaaagh!”

The slime dragon screamed as soon as it touched the golden flame.

The flames spread quickly and covered the slime dragon’s body in an instant.

He rolled over, pouring out his mana, but the flames did not subside at all.

In the meantime, the flames reached the surrounding trees and grass, but there was not even soot to be found.

“It’s still annoying, but why are you teasing your mouth?”

Hanette hugged Shion with a disapproving expression on her face.

Because of that one guy, he died, and Shion risked his life to attack.

In addition, the other knights took the risk, so I couldn’t help but get even more angry.

“Sister, I can’t fight anymore. If it takes time… … .”

“Do you still want to fight at this point? I’ll take care of it.”

“still… … .”

“You’re going to take care of it? You just need to be by my side.”

Harnette answered aloofly and looked in the direction of the slime dragon.

I deliberately lowered the concentration of the flame, and even reduced the speed at which the flame penetrated.

It was to inflict greater pain in order to repay more than what was suffered.

“I will not die leaving you behind.”

Harnette stroked Shion’s head and made another promise.

I promised to go to the end with Zion.

Even if they die together when they die, neither one of them will leave first.

I will definitely do that.

“You’ve become stronger, more than me… … .”

Shion slowly recognizes Hanette’s flame and slowly leans in.

I couldn’t feel any more magic power from Harnette.

Only the bright flame overflowed and wrapped itself in it.

After going through awakening, I wondered if I was in a similar state to myself.

“… really?”

“Yeah, I think I’ll lose if we fight.”

“Huh! Why am I fighting with you?”

“You could have a couple fight or something.”

“Relax. I will not use magic.”

“Are you going to lift a club?”

“I’ll have to think about that. You don’t listen too much.”

“Kheaaagh!”

The slime dragon still roared and rolled on the ground.

However, Shion and Hanette ignored even that and just had a friendly conversation.

Enrite and Lecia arrived late and were observing the two closely.

“… Are you relaxed?”

“It’s probably meant to cause more pain.”

Enrite answered calmly and approached the two.

It must have been that he was trying to fool the enemy because he had awakened and gained overwhelming force.

However, from the moment I was careless, the enemy had a chance to counterattack, so I had to end it quickly.

“Hanet, I understand how you feel, but it is better to dissipate quickly. You never know how the enemy will respond.”

“Did you just listen to me?”

“… You can call it whatever you want to call it.”

Enrite couldn’t bear to say the word and showed a puzzled expression.

Harnette smiles quietly and supports Shion.

“OK. I will do as you say, so please heal Shion.”

“… i get it.”

“sister?”

Lecia asked back in doubt.

However, Enrite tried to look away and reached out to Shion.

“Lesia, you help me.”

“It should be.”

When Lesia sticks next to Hanette, Enrite is relieved only then and sends her magic to Shion.

Shion avoided Enrite’s gaze and quietly began to notice.

“Black, why do you keep going out alone?”

“… sorry.”

“It wasn’t what Hanette wanted. What would you have done if you died like this?”

“I must have regretted it a lot.”

“I won’t blame black. Because I couldn’t keep my promise.”

In the end, he couldn’t heal Hannett with his own power.

At least, because Hanette had revived on her own, it only relieved her mind a little.

“Didn’t you come back alive? That is enough.”

Shion feels her body recover and looks at Hanette’s back.

It was blocking the slime dragon while being engulfed in golden flames.

Since he overpowered the slime dragon with only a brief effort, wouldn’t it be possible to finish it in an instant if he put his heart into it?

“Maybe I’m being too relaxed? What are you going to do if that happens all of a sudden?”

“You’re mean. If you kill me quickly, my anger won’t go away.”

Harnette was looking for something while keeping an eye on the slime dragon.

Lecia nodded slightly and thrust Dran Calgonis in.

“I do understand. I’m sorry too.”

“You have nothing to be sorry for. I’m stupid for not avoiding it.”

Harnette slowly noticed the flow and widened her eyes.

Inside the slime dragon’s body, there were objects other than slime.

I wondered if it was probably the vital point and the artificial magic sword that Shion had told me about.

“And… I left it alone because there was something I wanted to know. Shouldn’t it be over in one go?”

“ah… I understand what you mean.”

Lecia was also looking for the Slime Dragon’s core and an artificial magic sword.

However, it was thoroughly hidden, and the distance was far, so there were many difficulties in many ways.

It was only after seeing it up close that I was able to read its movements a little bit.

“I will attack first. You just have to catch what you missed.”

“Um… I guess that’s right. Are you stronger than me?”

“My attack range is wider. Do you think your power is better?”

“I can’t do that?”

Lesia answered honestly and infused magic into Dran Calgonis.

Of course, the attack range was overwhelming on the side of Harnet, and the power was barely enough to catch up.

Even the slime dragon, which regenerated every time it was cut, only slowly died in front of the golden flame.

“I can’t break them all by myself.”

“So you want to leave the other one to me?”

“Why? can’t you?”

“You can do it, but I can’t do it.”

Every time the slime dragon rolls its body, the ground vibrates.

Occasionally, slime came out, but it came back wrapped in flames.

In order to completely annihilate the slime dragon and exclude the demon, the core and the artificial demon sword had to be destroyed at the same time.

“Then let’s begin.”

Harnett looks carefully and quickly spreads the flames.

The golden flame stretched out and created a pair of wings, which continued to burn and quickly condensed.

Eventually, the wings seemed to fold slowly, but soon they spread widely and were divided into thousands of pieces.

Harnette manipulated the pieces of flame and dug into the weak spots.

The part that has been exposed to the flame the longest and is regenerating.

While creating a path with these pieces, he intended to advance to the place where the nuclear weapons and artificial swords were located.

“Kiaaa!”

The slime dragon let out a roar and broke its back.

Losing reason, even the body was tangled up in its own way.

Harnette does not miss the gap and pushes the pieces deeper.

‘Where are you?’

As the slime was evaporated by the flames, the slime dragon’s body was considerably dwarfed.

As a result, the space for the nuclear and artificial swords to move was reduced, and he must have been busy concentrating on regeneration.

If I was pushed to this extent, I was bound to make mistakes in the end.

‘It’s only half left.’

The number of flame fragments continued to decrease even now.

It was stirring inside the slime dragon’s body, but another slime quickly filled the void.

It would be okay to give up and try one more attack, but if it dragged on for a long time, the demon could intervene through the artificial demon sword.

‘If I don’t let go here, Shion will worry again.’

Zion always lived in trouble.

I tried to solve it by myself somehow, and it took a lot of time before I told myself the truth.

I knew the reason why I wanted to hug him alone, so I had no choice but to be greedy.

‘I was looking for it… … .’

There were not even 100 pieces of flame left.

I found both the nuclear and artificial swords, but I had to give up one to aim for the other.

Harnette had faith and poured all the sparks into the core.

“Stay close!”

“You look better now.”

Lesia glared at her sharply, then threw out Dran Calgonis.

A flash of light flashed in an instant, and a white beam of light shot straight out.

The flame fragments were already burning without hesitation while touching the core.

At the same time, the pure white light passed by and even split the artificial sword.

The slime dragon’s entire body stiffens without being able to breathe.

“I… Die? die? it can’t be… … .”
