Chapter 178

“… … ?”

Enrite was seized with suspicion, albeit for a moment.

Maybe I heard it wrong, why was it unexpected, why did the word to go for a walk suddenly come out?

Above all, it was not a request worth mentioning about power.

“… I can’t go alone anyway.”

“Wouldn’t that be a little different? I’m going because I want to.”

“You mean the subject is different?”

“This is a request from me, and if you do, you have to do as I say. I have to follow me.”

“Where are you going?”

Enrite shows a suspicious look while immersed in trouble.

Could it be that he was trying to get out of the capital of the Alain Kingdom?

Of course they wouldn’t, but I had to find out why.

“There is no place I want to go. I just need to be able to go for a walk.”

“Tell me why you want to go for a walk.”

“reason? Well… Do you hate being alone here? Because you look frustrated? Umm… In addition… … .”

“… … .”

Enrite sinks into silence and waits for another answer to come.

It was a very simple and ordinary reason.

Wouldn’t it have seemed more natural if he had made a request that was difficult to listen to?

“I don’t think I’ve ever taken a comfortable walk with you. Wouldn’t it be nice to do it now?”

“Is there any other reason?”

“Should I make up more reasons?”

“… I didn’t mean it that way.”

Only then did Enritte put down the pen stand and ponder over and over again.

It didn’t look like he had any bad intentions, but he couldn’t be reassured.

Even though he proved his worth by making contributions, the shadow of Acid Rain did not disappear.

‘I wonder if I’ve come this far and still have doubts.’

To be precise, it wasn’t Lesia, it was close to not believing in herself.

It has gone through a long time and reached the present, and in the process, it has been engulfed in numerous accidents and transformations.

He realized that his judgment was not necessarily correct and that the result could be distorted by luck.

I was trying to make a decision even more carefully because I had doubts while blindly trusting myself.

‘I haven’t done anything. I just met Black and Hanette.’

From the shadow dragon to the slime dragon subjugation, Shion and Hanette were present.

Even when fighting the Narak King, the Great Sea King, and the Demon God, the two did not leave their seats.

Of course, he participated in the battle, but compared to the two, he could not be considered active.

‘Black said he believed in Lesia.’

The reason why Shion believed in Lesia was monotonous and clear.

In the meantime, he did not cause an accident, did not betray, and cooperated well.

Most of all, I couldn’t help but wonder because he even mentioned an abstract reason.

‘You cannot have faith just because you resemble me.’

Of course, it wasn’t just about looks.

Atmosphere, unique feeling, intuition.

Since Shion believed in Enrite, he wanted to trust Lesia, who was similar to him.

‘If I believe in myself, can Lesia be trusted?’

Enrite couldn’t trust herself, but she could trust Shion.

However, if you believe in Zion, you will believe in yourself.

In the end, he would have to trust Lesia as well.

‘… You have to believe it.’

Enrite closed the folder and stood up slowly.

It’s a logic made up of contradictions, but I was able to understand it if I had to do it this way.

Because he was so weak, and he was always swayed by worry and anxiety.

I had to agree because it was what Shion Regard said, the black knight.

“Since you asked to go, I will adapt to you. Take the lead.”

“Hmm… When should I come back?”

“You asked me for a feat. Since your contribution is not small, shouldn’t it be given according to your will?”

“Even if I go for a walk all day?”

“… I will do whatever you want.”

“uh… … .”

At the unexpected answer, Lecia hesitates in embarrassment.

Enrite also had work to do, so she tried to be content with coming back for a while.

However, I wondered if I would be hesitant to say that he would hang out with me for the day.

‘I was just trying to let you rest for a while… … .’

Of course, it wasn’t that I didn’t want to get out of here.

Being in the same place for a long time was boring, and he just wanted to do something different with Enrite.

What was Enrite thinking when he accepted his request?

“I might not just go for a walk… … .”

“I have the money. Is there anything you want to buy?”

“no… Not necessarily… … .”

“I’m not the type to enjoy spending money, but I never felt like I was lacking. If it’s not too expensive, I can buy it.”

“I can meet them while I’m out… … .”

“You mean black and harness? There’s no reason we can’t meet. But the letter will have to be sent in advance.”

“I don’t mean to meet you… … .”

“You were the one who said you would go for a walk with me. You don’t get an opportunity like this often.”

Enrite pushed hard with a calm voice.

Lesia took a step backwards without realizing it, and soon showed an awkward smile.

“go… gotta go When are you going?”

“You can go now.”

“Shouldn’t I just finish what I was doing?”

“Why are you worried about me? I will take care of it.”

“uh… uh… … .”

Lesia seems to notice for a moment, but then turns her back and steps forward.

Enritte quickly follows him and laughs.

‘Sometimes will be fine.’

Taking a walk with someone and going somewhere.

He had never experienced it in his entire life, and he could not even imagine such an act.

The situation was given by chance, so I was just trying to get caught up in it.

‘It’s what I want to do… … .’

He had envisioned a future in which he would annihilate his nemesis, but hadn’t thought of it until after that.

Of course, other monsters wouldn’t disappear, but humans would be able to live more peacefully.

Maybe even that is included in life as a human being.

‘When it’s all over… Should I find a new goal?’

* * *

The residence of the Duke of Adelaira, the drawing room.

Not long after Enrite went out, she visited the Duke of Adelaira.

Of course, I sent a letter in advance, and I also confirmed that Zion and Hanette were not away.

Rather, Lesia only wandered here and there and reluctantly chose to go to the Duke of Adelaira.

“How are you feeling?”

“It has improved a lot. Thanks to white.”

Shion smiled and lowered his head.

Enritte cared about herself as much as Hanette, and stopped by the Duke of Adelaira whenever she had time.

There is also a way to send another paladin, but it was a parallel treatment while looking directly at it.

“Hanet. As I always say, don’t worry. Black is recovering smoothly. Contrary to what was expected, the mana is also circulating well. It will be back to normal after a while.”

“Yes. thanks sister.”

“… Great.”

Enrite was embarrassed but reluctantly turned her head.

Looking at that scene, Lecia felt a sense of loss for some reason.

It must have been something that she or Enritte had to say, but why was Hanette saying it?

“That… right. There was something I wanted to ask you.”

“To me? What is it?”

“If I’m right, you would have awakened Brecht. The color of the flame has changed, and the power has increased. But why are you still not summoning the demonic sword?”

It was a very important content for Enrite.

Awakening the demonic sword makes it more powerful than before, and even creates special abilities.

Basically, the magic sword was a weapon that was summoned and used, and he and Shion also realized the shape of the demon sword without fail.

However, Hannett was still using flame magic but did not show the magic sword.

“uh… Didn’t I show you then?”

“Are you talking about me?”

“Lesia, you saw it too.”

“… What did I see?”

“Zion?”

“Why? I know nothing.”

“… … ?”

The four of them just stare at each other in disbelief.

Three did not know what they saw, and one tried to find out why.

Hannette repeats her troubles and later notices the wrong part.

“Ah, since it’s a demonic sword, you thought it was a sword, right?”

“… Well?”

Enrite realized the meaning of the words and looked back at her memories.

Hannett must have turned into a bird and flew away with golden flames all over her body.

Even when dealing with a slime dragon, he spread his flame wings and turned them into thousands of pieces of flame.

“I will show you again.”

Harnette creates a golden flame on her palm and launches it into the air.

Then, the flame seemed to continue to burn, but soon changed into a different shape.

“It is unexpected.”

“Was this a magic sword?”

“… … .”

Shion looks down at the table, blocked by silence.

A bird made of flame was placed on the table.

Even though it was clearly touching the table, there was no smoke, let alone fire.

It was probably the characteristic of Hanette’s flame and the establishment of its existence as a demonic sword.

“This is Brecht.”

“Sister, can this be considered a demonic sword?”

“The magic sword is right. The name has also changed slightly. It is not a demonic sword of flame, but a demonic sword of a thousand days.”

The three still couldn’t accept Brecht.

I had seen him fight as that bird, but he tried to deny it.

It was too small to be called a demonic sword, and it was alive and moving.

“… don’t you believe Come here.”

Harnette extended her left hand and called out to Brecht.

Brecht then flew up quickly and landed on the palm of his hand.

“What are you doing? Everyone seems to be looking at you strangely.”

Harnette carefully stretched out her finger and stroked Brecht.

Brecht quietly felt the touch and then began rubbing his body.

Enrite just watched the scene with a bewildered face.

‘It’s a moving magic sword… A bird made of flame!’

Enrite had encountered other demonic swords during her time as a demonic sword.

I felt its shape and energy, albeit vaguely, and I recognized it immediately after becoming a human.

However, as much as that Brecht, he had completely lost his original form, and before he knew it, he became a small bird and was flying around.

‘I can feel the energy of the magic sword. Brecht is right.’

Even Enrite couldn’t deny that fact.

That bird was holding a demonic sword of flame.

He seemed to have ended his rapport with Harnette, and in some way wondered if he had an ego.

‘There is nothing to think about. Didn’t the answer come out?’

Enrite changes his mind after feeling the reality in front of him.

Among the seven demonic swords, only Brecht had a different form.

Like El Tesoicve and Acid Rain, they had finished their awakening, so there was only one conclusion left.

‘Those who embrace light and darkness will come out between me and black. Whoever connects the five sources… … .’

Enritte looks at Hanette and is convinced.

Brecht, the Thousand Days Magic Sword, was a demonic sword newly created when Hanette was revived.

Above all, he destroyed immortality with his own power, and did not burn anything except the slime dragon.

‘Hanet Adelaira, can you create salvation?’
