Episode 153. Decisive battle (2)
[Four out of seven are currently moving to the polar east. The other three haven’t responded yet, but they’re within walking distance once the battle begins.]
“Is there a reason you’re going east?”
[The place where Kantra’s light arrives two days later is the west. It’s probably to filter out the spirit king’s bombardment.]
“It looks like the gun can hit them. Then the other three are probably more likely to deal with ships from the west.”
[Yes, and at the very center of the polar region, I began to feel the magic power of Resol. It must have started something, too.]
Kriesha looked down at Yuma while conveying the situation the Balaur had figured out.
And all nearby colleagues, including Duran and Randel, fixed their eyes on Yuma.
It was because if Rizol’s activities had started, Yuma would now have to leave to fight separately.
If Yuma couldn’t keep Risol tied up, the odds of winning the ogre subjugation were infinitely impossible.
Even with the addition of a few of his transcendent magic, the allied forces could not even fight the ogres properly.
In an instant, sharp clouds of war hung over the commander’s procession. The eyes of the commanders staring at Yuma were colored with long lines.
[I must prepare to leave. You have finished preparing to stand before the Lord.]
It was Mahatrisa’s job to drive Yuma to the very center of the polar region.
Even though they lost most of their powers, only Kriesha and Mahatrisha among the Balaur could break through the barrier of Rizol and go to the very center of the polar region.
However, Kriesha had to keep her seat in preparation for the upcoming battle with the ogre and the possible attack by Povian
.
Indeed, for the first time in a long time, my heart beat with two bats. The beating of his chest that he suddenly began to feel was unfamiliar.
It was fear.
It wasn’t that she was afraid of fighting Rizol. He was definitely stronger than Sekmeira or Amanzo, but for some reason he didn’t seem to lose.
It’s just that I’m afraid of what the hell will happen while fighting him.
Perhaps the impact of his descent and fight against Rizol could have made this area completely disappear, and he might have killed the people he loved by himself.
It was for this reason that my palms tingled and my throat felt stuffy and filled with fear.
“yes. I’ll ask you to go to Lord Lord’s place, Miss Kriesha.”
[I understand.]
Yuma made an effort to keep his voice calm and answered. As I took a few steps towards Kriesha, my mouth went dry and I felt dizzy.
This is because each step felt as if it were heading towards the end.
The moment I stood next to Kriesha with a dazed face caught in the sense that the time that only lasted for a few seconds would stretch endlessly.
“My disciple.”
Duran called Yuma.
The towering Yuma stopped walking.
“The world won’t end just because you’re an hour late.”
I couldn’t turn around and look at my master’s face.
For some reason, it seemed that he was not an old eunuch who had returned, but that he had really started his life for the first time and had just turned from a boy to a young man.
Maybe that’s why it was hard to resist the uncontrollable shaking of my shoulders.
Took.
Duran’s palm, which was harder than steel, was lightly placed on Yuma’s head.
“So say goodbye and go.”
A word that melted Yuma’s tense heart, who was even more frozen at this scenery where the cold wind from the polar regions was passing by.
Tears flowed non-stop from Yuma’s eyes as he turned to his teacher. Tears flowed down his cheeks like snowflakes and wet the floor.
The man who is like the hope of mankind is crying.
There were many eyes watching it. From nearby commanders to the elite soldiers of the first line vanguard.
At this point, when the battle was right around the corner, the boss showing tears was usually an act that had no choice but to break morale.
But now it was different. Everyone who saw Yuma’s tears wanted to cry along with him.
It was the same with Duran.
He also wanted to grab hold of the disciple and burst into tears, but was barely holding back.
It wasn’t just Duran who was holding back.
Other comrades, commanders, and soldiers. Everyone was suppressing their emotions so that Yuma’s journey would not be difficult.
because.
Because they are adults. Among those gathered here, not a single one was younger than Yuma, who had just become a young man.
This young man should not show a sad face as he leaves the world on his back.
“Krisya-sama, would that be okay?”
[…Of course Sir Duran.]
“Sure, then. It might be the last time, but you should be able to say hello.”
it may be the last That was something Yuma hadn’t said on purpose.
It was the same when he tried to follow Kriesha to Mahatrisha without saying hello. For some reason, he felt that if he said goodbye, it might be parting with the people he really loved.
So Yuma turned around and looked at the teacher.
“How could it be the last? Master. Why do you say that?”
A voice close to a grumble.
Duran looked at Yuma with a calm face and said this.
“Disciple, you have grown up a lot, but I still like the image of a boy who came to Ahmad.
It means you are still a child to me.”
“What does that matter now…
Yuma fought back against his teacher in a passionate tone, but Duran hugged him so he couldn’t speak anymore.
“I know why you just wanted to leave. But, disciple, this master is. He won the title of King of Knights by stirring up numerous battlefields, but lost hundreds of comrades in the process.”
While being hugged by Duran, Yuma raised her head and exhaled.
“I regret not saying goodbye each time. Just like you now, I always thought they would survive. Looking back, I think it was because I was young.”
“Master.”
“Admit it. that we might die. Take it head on and finally grow up and face the fight.”
It was, above all else, something I didn’t want to admit.
However, hearing Duran’s story, Yuma felt rather calm. The grievance toward him, the resentment towards myself for not doing better until I came here.
I could put it all down.
“If you don’t think you might lose what you want to protect, your knife will become duller. So, engrave the last of the people you love and leave. Do you understand?”
Yuma didn’t even answer and nodded with a wet face.
After Duran, Randel came to Yuma and hugged him. And Randell, as always, scratched his head with an idiotic expression on his face.
“See you again, friend.”
Then Cheryl and Hela came over and hugged Yuma.
“Even if I die and come back, I will revive you, so just come back.”
“The era of Jim was difficult from the start, but it was full of light when I met you.”
Zecca and Malone, who were on the other side of the line, also approached Yuma in a Tulka. And the dragons were bringing Yuma’s comrades here one by one under the command of Chrisa.
Zecca and Marlon said nothing. The three of them just hugged each other in a circle and put a lot of strength into their hands holding each other’s shoulders in silence.
Barinann, who hurriedly performed flight magic and flew with Rakir, was the only one among the colleagues who exchanged greetings, buried in tears and buried in Yuma’s chest.
“I’ll wait bro.”
[Stop talking, kid! Isn’t the lord sad? Wow!]
Igor rode a dragon with Princess Sebra and acted cute.
For some reason, Yuma was filled with emotions again when he saw that cute act, which he had always thought was disgusting.
As time passed, Puang and Cog Cindy Haka, who were in the supply base in the back room, rode Ariel and came to Yuma.
[I don’t know how many times I’ve ridden a human on my back thanks to you. But it’s not too bad.]
“Yuma-sama.”
“Puang.”
Like Marlon and Zeca, Yuma and Puang also held each other for a while without saying anything. The strings of Poin’s glasses were vibrating violently.
“Oh, little master…
“Please come back alive and free me from this ordeal.”
The Emperor of Lhasa and Yuma’s wings also visited Yuma and exchanged greetings, as did the tribes of Mars and Porapora Island.
Zishka came with Kahel Povian and held Yuma’s hand.
“If there are countless people born again because of you, I think I am the most blessed of them all.
Mio needs a straight-looking uncle besides the men of Matan.
got it?”
In addition, comrades who fought together in the east and numerous colleagues visited Yuma.
And finally.
Natalie and Catherine got off the dragon and approached Yuma. Katherine handed Yuma a piece of paper and left, barely hiding her watery eyes.
To you and to Natalie. Say thank you for letting me love you.
I wanted to do it once.
Such a sentence was written on the note, and Yuma held onto it and stared blankly at her back for a while.
Hearing Natalie’s voice, he had no choice but to run to Catherine.
“Isn’t the lady also our colleague?
this child.”
Warak.
As Yuma hugged him from behind, Catherine smiled and ruffled his hair.
“Yuma.”
“Your lady.”
“As a god of reincarnation, do you really think there is reincarnation?”
It was a bright voice. It was a sudden question, but Yuma nodded yes.
“Then, please choose me at least once during that long reincarnation.”
That’s enough for me.
Catherine turned around and smiled broadly. Katherine, who smiled with her wet eyes twinkling, was indescribably overwhelmed.
Can Yuma really say that she has no feelings for her? Yuma knew the answer to that question, but always deliberately set it aside.
As Katherine climbed back onto the dragon’s back, Natalie wrapped her arms around Yuma’s neck.
She kissed Yuma for a long time.
“After meeting you, I became a warm-hearted person from being cold-hearted.
My dirty, stained life has finally become complete. love me forever no matter what you look like.”
The hands we held together were full of warmth and heavy.
She was pretending to be calm, but Natalie’s narrow shoulders were trembling. As Yuma carefully stroked her cheek, she immediately trembled.
“I’ll come back and give you the dream you told me about.”
And Yuma was finally able to leave for the very center of the polar region with a clear face.
