182 Episode 75: Rainbow On The Ethereal Dome Of Dawn (1)
If I perceived the sensation of my body, I noticed the warmth that was touching my lips.
If I moved my hand and touched it, I slowly opened my eyes when I realized it was a loving person I was used to touching.
Yufi\'s face, overlapping her lips as she closed her eyes to pray and breathed into me, widens all over my sight.
Uffi opens his eyes when he realizes I put my hand on Uffi. And when you look me in the eye, let go of your lips in momentum and grab my face.
"Anisu!"
"I was there, I wanted to, Ufi..."
I wonder if Uffi was staring at my face, and I\'m tearing at it crooked and distorted. Yufi\'s crying face is too rare for me to look seriously.
Yufi was trembling with her face buried in her neck, hugging me vigorously as she was impressed. Hands around its back and stroke it to calm it down.
"Anis... Anis...!
"I\'m sorry, I worried you"
More than that, speechless. Uffi just hugs me hard. I\'d really like to hold you like this, but there was something I had to do.
Slap Yuffi\'s hand gently. I try to get away from Yuffi. For a moment, it was Ufi who tried to grab me as he didn\'t like it, but he bit my teeth off and then let me go scared.
"Thank you, Uffi. \'Cause it\'s okay now."
Pick up the celestial, I get up. At that time, I only smile for a moment when I feel something full of my whole body. Then I stroke my chest only once and then I glance forward.
It collapsed so that a corner of the knights that I was sieging at the same time as I turned my gaze. At the end of that collapsed siege net, Lilana, standing at its center, was turning her gaze to me.
The expression ends in a word of amazement. I can\'t believe it, all I\'m saying is, I\'m shaking as I open my eyes and stare at me.
"... why? Why won\'t you accept me!?"
……
"You would have been happy!? How could you deny it if no one ever denied it!? How could you!? How could you have destroyed that world!? How could you do such a terrible thing!?"
"It sure was a happy dream. If so, I guess I would have been much happier than I am now, I thought. - But that\'s all."
I look straight at Lilana\'s shouting and just slap the words.
"The complete world you speak of has nothing but a past."
"... only the past...?
"Because the past was hard. Because it hurts now. Because I\'m afraid of the future. So created backwards from the misery of the past" the world of what if ". A lovely world where everyone can be happy by deciding that they never did anything inconvenient. But that\'s only the past. Such a world is only worth it in delusion. Accepting that world means denying living."
"No! I\'m not denying living! Instead, they need it for everyone to live! No pain, no sorrow, no misfortune in this world!
"It\'s not up to you to decide that. If it\'s a temporary dream, but if you want to push it to reality, you\'re my" enemy "clearly.
I fluttered underfoot as Lilana curled at my words. After shaking his neck left and right several times, he stared at me with a face whose expression fell out.
"... so sad. Very, very sad. My chest hurts, because it hurts...! Until you understand! Melt in me!!"
And how many times has it been, the head of a snake that appeared as it swelled up from Lylana\'s body presses me not to swallow it whole.
"Anisu!"
Roughing up my voice as Ufi guides me. I leave the Celestial untouched. If you shake it to pay lightly - the head of the snake that approached me was severed in two. The shock of both of those breaks plundered Lilana\'s arm and pulled her off a thousand times.
"... is...?
Look at me as Lilana regenerates her arms. Those eyes are filled with the colour of confusion.
Meanwhile, I got spooked, too. I see, it\'s something so different......
"No way... no way...! That\'s your true power!?"
"Right. Oh, really... it makes me feel nostalgic. I was on the side of this force then, too. It might be ironic that this power should be mine entirely."
The magic that fills my whole body is no longer my original magic. Because my complete acceptance of the engraved imprint of the dragon has replaced the magic of the dragon with the formation of the demonic stone of the dragon in my heart.
I am frightened by the omnipotence I feel when the magic of the dragon fills my body. I can\'t believe how ridiculous it was to be able to handle the magic of a dragon that used to be handled through an engraved mark "without any restrictions at all".
"The fictional Dragon Devil\'s Heart (Dragon Heart)" "The true Dragon Devil\'s Heart (Dragon Heart)"... It\'s not fictional, it\'s really a horse.
Simply good that the output went up, but still not all good. First of all, I\'m not used to it yet, so I can\'t control it in detail. If I accidentally put too much effort into it, I\'m going to break it to the extra.
(And... it\'s not just pure dragon power, this)
Looks like they\'re taking in the effects of vampire erosion as well as dragons. I don\'t feel any blood-sucking impulses or the way my eyes have changed into demonic eyes. The traits of the vampires I have taken in are "properties that tame me with the power I have ingested from the outside.
Originally, the magic of a dragon never fits me intact with a magic that fits the flesh of a dragon. By taking in the traits of a vampire, I became a body that could best handle the magic of a dragon as a person.
Originally, my body was in the process of degeneration to adapt so that the magic of the dragon could handle it. I suppose this is the result of the mixing of influences from the vampires where these signs appeared.
It is believed that the part of the nature that transforms into food by incorporating the vampire factor where it was originally necessary to degenerate over more time and making it tame to its own body by eating it together with the nature of the dragon has degenerated and remains.
"And then... this"
The by-product is physical change. I have been able to reproduce the parts of the dragon pseudo in the aura for a long time, but the nature of the vampire is mixed here so that I can change my flesh to the parts of the dragon.
It\'s not like we can grow scales on boulders, but it looks like even people\'s arms can have different contents or something. This may be a little close to the nature that is also found in Lilana.
I mean, the changes that have happened to me are places like 20% vampires with 80% dragons, and now I might call them human-shaped dragons.
"... a place called Shizuku Dracula."
A word came to mind about vampires in a previous life. I\'m sure it meant dragon kids, I guess one of the models that became a vampire motif was involved.
It wasn\'t a fateful coincidence to turn to disaster and exchange it for blessings, but it was so fateful that it seemed ironic in a way.
"... Well, you know what I mean, don\'t you?
I look to Lilana as I squeal my bones with force on my fingers. Lilana, who got my gaze, stepped aside.
"Your regenerative powers are different digits. Take the magic, and then erode it enough to disassemble in time. You deserve the surprise. - But now that I\'m above your regenerative power, I can brush it to my power."
"- Huh!"
"Stop the resistance and surrender. The world you want destroys too much."
"... destroy the world, is that bad?!?"
Lilana yelled back in a sad voice at my surrender recommendation.
"You don\'t deny everything about me either. I guess that\'s because you admit it!? That\'s why you deliver the word to me!? You\'re telling me to give up because you can\'t deny it!? Because it just destroys the world today, just for that reason!
……
"Isn\'t the world sweet! Even spiritual contractors with immense power in their contractors, of the Spirit who pictures the world, can\'t save people! It\'s not universal! So if someone has to save the world, don\'t you think so?!? What are you saying is a sin in trying to go for it!?"
"It\'s a sin. It is a sin that can only be broken, no matter what the cause. And even if you can\'t change everything in the world, even if you can\'t save everything, the Spirit is the Spirit. The Contractor has saved many people. That\'s not a lie."
"Can you say that even if you know that it was the ancestors of the Subhumans, of the Kingdom of Cambus, who were driven by the power of their Spirit!?"
Lilana spreads her arms and screams as she looks at me with tearful eyes.
"When the Kingdom of Palletia was founded, it was the ancestors of the present subpeoples who were driven to the other side of that mountain range! All they could do was sign with a great demon to live and incorporate that blood! They were closed because they had such a history!
"Heh, it\'s my first ear. I had such a history with the Subhumans.... so?
"... that\'s why...!
I tell Lilana, who loses her words like she\'s out of sentence, to teach her pale.
"The people I should protect are the people of the Kingdom of Palletia. Of the kingdom of Cambus, not descendants of the subpeoples. If those people say we hate them, we\'ll face it. If you want me to forgive you, let\'s have a dialogue. But if you leave it to resentment to say you want to destroy us, we resist, too. Because that\'s the role I have to play."
"Is that what you say when you only save your country while you have enough power to save the world?!?"
"I\'m not complacent that I can save the world, it\'s in my hands. All I can do is show tomorrow."
"Tomorrow...?
"A mixed past may be able to hold hands together, even if it cannot be erased. Even if we can\'t figure it out right now, we might be able to create a future where we can walk together one day. I don\'t know anything. Tomorrow. That\'s why I can dream of happier days than yesterday and today. Believe in that possibility and sow hope for it."
I, after I said that - reached out to Lilana.
Never within reach. Lilana exhaled her trembling breath as she stared blankly at my hand.
"Lylana. I will not deny your thoughts, wishes or prayers. What is painful is painful, I want there to be no more sorrow. That\'s the same for me. If it\'s a temporary dream, I can take your hand if I can swear it\'s for walking out tomorrow. - That\'s why I want you to change. Believe me, there\'s a better tomorrow, not beating down the reality that\'s in this world right now."
Taking my word for it, Lilana... exhaled like she\'d given up. And I slowly shook my head left and right.
"- Too bad. I wanted to know from the bottom of my heart."
"... me too, too, I\'m sorry"
With that word as a last resort, a chimera springs out of Lilana\'s back. Lilana falls backwards, trying to get confused by that gushing chimera.
"I will not give up! Until you destroy this unsaved world and fulfill your ideal home!
"Then I will crush that ideal (selfish) place here and now!
Swing through the celestial for the chimera coming towards me to stop my leg. The amputated chimera is finely chopped a thousand times, and it also tries to split and diffuse into fragmented individuals.
In the meantime, Lilana grows smaller and smaller farther away. That it\'s lizard tail slashing until bright!
"- Dear Anis! Leave this place to us. Ow!
"Gah!
Gakun leaped out of my back, blocking the wound with a bandage, seeping blood into that bandage. The flame momentum of Flamzele only increases, incinerating the split chimera as one and again as one.
"It would be a pain in the ass if they let him get away here and scattered the chimera!? Regrettably, I can\'t help him...! If you want to keep Anise\'s back, you can!
"Gah..."
"You\'re worried, can I leave the chimera here or not? That\'s not shallow either. We\'re injured, and it\'s an attack using demon stones that makes it effective, so maybe it\'s unfavourable to be unfavourable...!
"Still, we are nobles, knights and adventurers of this country!
It was Charne who shouted to take over Gakun\'s words. Though the power of the lightning arrows released from Keravnos is diminishing, Charne nevertheless keeps his bow healthy.
"It\'s not just about being protected by you. If you want to leave us here, give us a chance to honor you! Please protect our pride! Her Royal Highness King Anisphere!
"Navr......"
"Ladies and gentlemen, all you have to do is stop your legs until Gark is finished! Don\'t block Charne\'s rays! Whatever magic you can use, hold back, what you can\'t use, be your eyes, and get your position! Keep working closely together! The enemy has already taken care of it and begun to retreat! You just have to get through here! Until then, let him carry it!
Navre screams to inspire the knights and adventurers around him. A knight who can use magic turns to attack, and many knights and adventurers who cannot use magic become eyes and shields.
The only reason why we can work together that doesn\'t seem like a rally is because we\'re all up against one goal. It was a sight I couldn\'t help but think so.
"What are you doing"
"... al-kun"
And Al, with an elephant spear in his blood, lines up next to me. And stay put, step forward and turn your back.
"Is that how you\'re gonna come and help me? It\'s just a boulder. It would have been a good study if you hadn\'t approximated your favorites."
……
"I thought you knew you had a hand you couldn\'t grab, you idiot with no ability to learn. Then just focus on what you can do with one of your idiots\' memories. It\'s not for you to see things from a wider perspective. Just face forward and move in the direction you want."
"Al, it\'s terrible..."
- You\'ve always been more cruel for not relying on me.
Al-Kun got half-hearted and just turned to me in the face and squealed like that.
That word seeped my vision. Exhales like a cramped throat. I bite my lips off and swallow the words that almost came out aggressively.
"Sister, is there anything I can do?
... Don\'t cry. I\'ll cry later.
Exhale. If I can\'t tell you here, I can\'t name you sister with my chest up anymore.
"- Protect everyone. I\'ll stop her."
"- Oh, come on. I\'ll take this place."
I\'m not allowed to be told so far to stop my leg.
Get out ahead of Al and go ahead. Heading down to Lilana.
Wings open from the back of Wang Tianyi. I still flew in the woods at night, drawing residual light.
