835. [Western Front] – Bloody Battle (111)

***

Meanwhile, the reality outside the sealing ceremony.

A long hour has already passed since they confronted each other in the deep dark zone through Sekhmet’s unique territory and the opening that several officers and Isabelle appeared.

“ha… … .”

“Whoa.”

Rough breathing sounded simultaneously. Leria and Roxanna were breathing heavily, and Eunik’s Ben Gale and Seril were also breathing heavily and complaining of extreme fatigue.

The only decent forces were Isabelle and Gezer, a special officer.

Zeon, another special officer, had just wiped away the flames and hastily stepped back.

Good! Grumble!!

Zeon, who skidded roughly on the ground, barely managed to control himself.

“Cough!”

However, as he coughed up blood and could not control himself, the complexions of the other officers and Isabelle who looked at him darkened rapidly.

Swish!

“Get ready for a moment, I will block the battle lines.”

“… … okay. “Please.”

When Gezer hurriedly stepped forward on behalf of Zeon, Zeon stared straight ahead with half-death eyes.

There was an incarnation of flame there.

He is too powerful to be an apostle.

No, the flames emitted by the man engulfed in red flames were so sacred that one wondered if he could truly be considered an apostle.

It wards off all the darkness in the dark area, and scatters huge flames around as if it were the incarnation of the Holy Fire itself.

“Humans have quite a bit of potential. I thought it was just an insignificant insect… … No, should I say that I have become that weak? Any way you look at it, it’s absurd.”

As Sekhmet continued speaking as if laughing, no one dared to take the initiative.

““… … .””

Sekhmet wrapped himself in flames like hell. Even now that his unique territory encompasses a wide area of ​​darkness.

It was impossible to even approach him with a decent amount of mana.

The mana consumed to withstand that huge fire increased exponentially as the distance narrowed, so everyone was cautious.

Grumble!

Then, Sekhmet waved his hand widely again, and pure white flames rose up wildly, immediately covering the space.

Immediately after, Roxanna and Seryl came to the front at once.

At the same time, he powerfully displayed his power along with Gezer, who was already in the front line.

Puff puff puff!!

Roxanna’s suppression of the atmosphere exploded the space before the huge flames could approach, erasing a certain amount of space, and Seril’s cold waves that spiraled in succession immediately covered the space, confronting the huge flames.

Saaa… … !!

The flames and the waterway were canceled out at the same time by the huge amount of steam, but all that was possible was erasing half of the flames.

When Gezer, the remaining special officer, crossed his hands as if forming a cross, a strange phenomenon appeared.

Flash! Grumbling!!

The part of the space that was touched by his gaze exploded into a completely different space, as if it had been transferred.

When the three cleverly combined to erase Sekhmet’s flames, a counterattack immediately followed.

■■■■■■■■■!

The bloody slashes unleashed by Leria turn the space red in succession.

And at the same time, as if aiming for a blind spot, Isabelle’s golden lion rushes toward Sekhmet, even braving the flames of hell.

Swish!

Sekhmet, who was looking at it, lightly waved his hand, and the huge fire surrounding his body burned even more fiercely, canceling out its power.

RURRRRRRR!!!

And a wall of flames reaching dozens of layers appeared all at once!

The bloody slash erased more than a dozen walls of fire, but it faded away as its strength was exhausted. The golden lion rushed forward while enduring the wall of fire, but soon its energy was used up and it lost its form.

“Is that fire a power that has no limits?”

“Leria. “In times like these, we need to be more cautious.”

Leria’s distrustful tone and Isabelle’s cold voice intersect.

This type of battle has already taken place more than a dozen times. It’s all meaningless.

Sekhmet was unable to inflict serious fatal wounds on the combined efforts of the high-ranking officers, and the six officers and Isabelle were also unable to inflict effective damage on Sekhmet.

In a way, it’s a burden.

It seemed like they were fiercely engaged, but the reality was completely different.

“Hehehe. That’s good. “It would be fun to try it and see how far it goes.”

While Sekhmet, the apostle, did not feel a significant drain on his power no matter how much he used his flames, the humans who dealt with them were different.

We are very tired, and the more strength we exert, the more fatigue we all feel.

It was a dangerous competition where every moment was close to death,

The moment you make a mistake, even other beings die.

And now, the fierce battle has been going on for over an hour. It was no wonder that their bodies and minds were pushed to extremes.

“… … .”

And in the meantime, Isabelle, who had regained her strength, thought idly.

‘Where on earth have you gone…? .’

The anxiety in my heart just won’t go away.

The fact that the person he was supposed to protect had disappeared weighed heavily on him. It was as if something beyond his power had happened without him even having time to do anything about it.

It was my mission to protect him, and my heart truly believed that I was someone who had to protect him.

But he wasn’t there.

I can’t see it right now, and I can’t even feel the small traces he left behind, even though there is a contract made with blood in the past.

Although his life could not be said to have disappeared, it felt vague and as if it existed too far away.

“I wonder who will die first. And can humans really sacrifice their lives for each other? Hehehe… … .”

Looking at the apostle who burst out in a strange laugh, I chewed my lips.

For now, I know I have to focus on executing the apostles I see right away. But, I just can’t get my mind to do that.

More than the danger of my life.

I feel even more anxious because I don’t know if he is safe after he disappears.

“… … Incarnate body.”

As the energy of the golden lion entered my body, I greatly strengthened my mind.

Saaa!!

Amidst the huge swirling golden energy, it felt like it was time for me to overdo it. No matter how hard the other officers work, the axis of balance is now collapsing.

Someone had to do more.

“I will build a road.”

“Lord Isabelle… … .”

He calmly held his sword and stared at the apostle.

In the end, if I didn’t somehow execute that apostle, the anxiety in my heart would never go away.

***

Time passes.

I also realized that quite a bit of time had passed.

Anastasia suddenly raised her head.

“… … .”

And then he looked at Han Tiansheng, who was lost in thought without saying a word. His eyes, which were unlocked and returned from their golden eyes to their original black eyes, were deeply sunken.

Even after asking for time, several hours have already passed.

But there was still no sign of getting out of that deep thought.

‘What answer did you find?’ … .’

Is he really worried about it like that?

The answer that Eustea would have shown probably contained an overwhelmingly greater logic than the trial and error I am currently experiencing in the gap of imperfect power.

It was clear that Han Tiansheng’s words would soon become a huge key, rather than the dozens of hours I would spend in the future.

The core of this sealing ceremony.

Because you have to be able to see through that.

But actually, Han Cheon-seong, who held the key, did not open his mouth easily.

“ha… … .”

And since he was sighing deeply and looking like he was in deep agony like now, it was difficult for me to approach him or even talk to him.

‘But no matter how difficult it is… … .’

If it were me, I would definitely be able to utilize the power that Eustea showed. It seemed like it was not a light topic for Han Tiansheng to worry about so much.

Then suddenly.

My eyes went to my hands.

“… … .”

There were stab wounds in approximately eight places from the arm to the wrist. I was hurt by the aftereffects of my power.

However, the blood that had been flowing had already stopped, and there was no difficulty in moving my arms. Even the secondary opening had already been lifted, so there was no stress on the body at all.

‘Outside… … Is it okay?’

There are special officers Gezer and Zeon.

In addition, the Golden Knight, Sir Isabelle, would be there, so I thought I could at least endure it.

If they decide to do so, they can endure.

However, I still felt uneasy.

The source of disaster that I have to deal with.

No matter how weak the nine apostles were, they were burdened with too great a burden.

Tuk.

Then I heard a sound.

When I turned my head, I saw Han Tiansheng.

“… … Major Anastasia. “I have a serious request to make.”

“ask?”

“yes. Please. Definitely rude… … I don’t know if it would be a favor. Nevertheless, it is absolutely necessary.”

I nodded without much hesitation as he continued speaking to me with quite a determined will.

“Anything you want to say is okay, so just tell me if that’s what you think is the right answer.”

There is no lie in the eyes that stare at me.

No, he wasn’t the one to tell lies in the first place.

As much as I thought he was the same person as me, I had trust in Han Cheon-seong from a long time ago.

“… … “First, would you please hold out your arm?”

Sreuk.

I held out my arms without even answering.

What on earth are you trying to do, or rather, what have you come up with?

“This will be a kind of proof for my future actions.”

“Proof?”

A moment when I couldn’t understand what was being said.

Slurp.

Han Tiansheng slowly lowered his head toward my arm.

And as I watched that action, an extremely strong feeling of rejection arose.

“What are you doing now… … .”

In an instant, he violently swung his hand and barely suppressed his attempt to hit Han Tiansheng away.

Because it is probably not an action without reason.

So I was forced to accept it.
