#308
“You’re getting married…?!”
Iril’s eyes widened. The daze that had been messing with her head suddenly flew away.
marriage? Did you just say you got married? What do I know?
It was about a minute later that she who had been mute was able to raise her voice again.
“Hey hey… So… So yes it’s not that I don’t like Mr. Schlieffen. Should I say it was a little too sudden….”
Iril stammered. Her white face was as bright as a peach. Her Schlieffen was still holding her close and not letting go.
“Well…what’s so good about an ordinary woman like me in the first place? Her face doesn’t sparkle like the old nobles… First of all she’s much older than Schlieffen. “I’m sure you’ll get tired of it quickly…”
“No I felt it from the first time I saw you… the owner of my heart… is only you.”
Schlieffen muttered as if he were drunk. Her blow was as powerful as his sword skills. The near-lethal amount of blood he had lost allowed him to utter the words that came to his mind without passing through his brain.
“Oh my Chaam….”
Iril cupped her cheek with both hands. She never thought she would hear something like this from her sister’s friend. Unable to overcome her shame she buried her face in Schlieffen’s shoulder.
“Where did you learn to say that? “At most she’s the same age as our Ronan… but I can’t use it if you make fun of an older woman!”
“i love you.”
“It’s like that again…!”
Iril unable to bear it any longer hit Schlieffen’s chest. If she listened any longer her face got so hot that she felt like she was going to explode. The savior who was watching the two clenched her fists.
“…This is a novel feeling again. “I don’t know why but it made me want to kill her friend that Schlieffen.”
“You have to be patient.”
Ade Shan She stopped him. It was a reaction no different from that of the soldiers who served with her in the past whose daughters she had served with. The savior hesitated.
“I know. I don’t deserve it. “It’s a good thing for that friend that I couldn’t serve as her father to Iril.”
No matter how high the lover’s level was his father felt like breaking his legs and wanting to see him. Iril unable to bear it any longer shook off Schlieffen.
“I understand…I understand so let’s get treatment first! “How can you inflict such hurt on the world…”
She felt fine but she couldn’t keep doing this forever. dump. As soon as Schlieffen got away from Iril she fell to the floor.
“Uh…Mr. Schlieffen?”
Iril was embarrassed. She felt like a puppet whose strings had been cut. The result was very different from what I expected which was that she would stand up with a shy smile on her face. She blinked her eyes and quickly shook Schlieffen’s body.
“Mr Schlieffen? Come to your senses! Mr. Schlieffen!”
Schlieffen did not answer. His consciousness was lost from the time he was hit in the chest by Iril who was already shaking.
It was dark.
Still he looked relieved perhaps because he had said everything he wanted to say. Iril sat him down whimpering her eyes filled with tears.
“Oh my god look at this blood! “Lord you must not die…!”
Her breathing was so faint that it was almost impossible to hear. A puddle of dark red blood had accumulated where he sat. Each and every wound from the fight with the archbishops was large and deep.
Schlieffen’s body pushed to its limits was no longer willing to match his master’s bravado. Iril was trying to stop the bleeding by tearing her clothes.
Suddenly a dark shadow appeared over the heads of the two people.
“He’s not dead.”
“…yes?”
Iril raised his head and raised his eyebrows. A huge were tiger was looking down at them. Iril seeing her familiar face covered her mouth.
“Jipa!”
“It’s Jaifa. “I’m glad you look safe.”
Jaifa sighed. As soon as he woke up from his hallucination he ran to where he heard the two voices. Soon Jaifa realized the situation and nodded while looking at Iril.
“…I see. Was it your ability?”
She only remembered him as a beautiful human being but she never expected that he possessed such tremendous power. After being silent for a moment he opened his mouth.
“thanks.”
“yes? “What is it…?”
Iril tilted his head in sudden gratitude. She didn’t even know she was putting people to sleep.
Jaipa did not bother to explain that she was grateful for being able to spend happy time with her dead son even if only for a moment.
“There is such a thing.”
“Well I don’t know what it is but…I’m glad I helped. Even better than that Mr. Schlieffen…!”
“If that’s the case don’t worry. “Because the medical team is already here.”
After saying that Jaipa pointed behind him with his thumb. I saw people waking up from hallucinations. Like them Sita who had just come to her senses was stretching.
“Bwauuung….”
“Hey bird. “When you have had enough sleep heal my disciple.”
Zaifa said. Animals come to their senses faster than humans. Seeing that the surroundings were covered with injured people Sita spread her four wings wide.
“Ttaaa!”
Red ripples spread out. Paaaa…! All the blood scattered on the battlefield became drops and floated. The blood individually sorted began to return to the bodies of its owners.
“Ugh…Ugh….”
“Blood blood…?”
One by one the dying people began to come to their senses. Seriously injured people with unusually deep wounds received special treatment.
A red energy that heals wounds enveloped Schlieffen’s body. His trauma healed and the bone fused. Iril let out an exclamation after confirming that his breathing was stable.
“I’m glad everything happened…thank you!”
“You can thank him when he wakes up. “Because he literally risked everything to save you.”
“That kind of….”
Zyfa turned her body away from the dumbfounded Iril. There was still work to do. On the battlefield where vitality had returned those who had fallen were waking up again.
“I see…Balzac. “Was it a dream?”
【Hahaha! How about you Navardose? I understand that this Mr. Orsay is a true loser…Hmm?】
“Hehe…this is the first time I’ve completely lost consciousness since I reached the 9th Circle.”
The main forces of the Allied Forces also opened their eyes one by one. As soon as they came to their senses they took part in the battle against the giants. Asher who belatedly realized that he was wielding the protection of a huge star let out a scream.
“Hehehe! “Is this what I’m doing right now?!”
“It’s amazing. Asher.”
It didn’t take long for the battle lines to come together. Adeshan helped the people come to their senses gave the necessary commands and collected the shadow’s mana.
‘…Is this enough?’
He used his powers so much that he felt dizzy. It was the car where she caught her breath. The savior next to her coughed violently.
“Cough! Wow…!”
“Are you okay?”
The amount of blood being vomited was unusual. The savior who had been shaking his upper body several times raised his hand to indicate that he was okay. He barely succeeded in calming down and asked Adeshan.
“Now that’s enough…huu you’re dating my son right?”
“…yes?”
Adeshan’s face lit up at the sudden question. How should I answer this? After her hesitation she bit her lower lip.
“…For now yes. “It’s not exactly me though.”
“You can’t fool blood. Hehe I was also crazy about her wife’s long black hair….”
“…Why did you suddenly ask that?”
“I wanted to tell you to take good care of my son. “I feel like I don’t have much time left now.”
The Savior smiled. Adeshan twisted her lips in a somewhat reassuring smile.
I see. It didn’t look like it was in good condition when I first saw it but that’s how it turned out in the end. The savior continued.
“I have to go to the battleship. I already brought it so I need to use it up enough. “What are you going to do?”
“I’ll be there soon too.”
Ade Shan answered without meeting her eyes. The savior smiled once again and trudged up the steps. The battleship Dainhar which was stuck on the ground was making a loud noise as if it were about to take off at any moment.
Beyond that the battle became even more intense. A storm of elements spewed out from the dragons’ mouths and swept across the sky and earth. Every time a spear of light crossed the sky several dragons were falling one by one.
“…Is that enough now?”
Adeshan looking at the back of the savior sighed. After making sure no one was watching her she sat down against a nearby rock. Her legs were shaking and she could no longer stand.
‘Thank goodness. ‘I can fulfill my duty before it’s too late.’
Adeshan smiled faintly as she watched the battle with the giant. She seemed to be on par but it would soon be a showdown. The constant roaring sound indicated that the fight had reached its peak.
It seemed like she had nothing more to do. She wiped her face like Ade Shan washed her face. She mumbled placing her hand on her chest as she caught her breath.
“I don’t have much time left… and so do I.”
I was in no position to worry about my savior. She felt her consciousness fading little by little. The stars were brilliant in the night sky when her clouds had disappeared. Adeshan focused his gaze on the brightest star and quietly recited.
“Seniel…are you done now?”

『Such a ridiculous thing…』
The king of giants muttered. Connections with compatriots were rapidly being lost. He could feel that there were less than ten giants left including himself.
“It doesn’t make sense if it doesn’t make sense.”
At that time I heard a familiar voice at my feet. The king reversed his sword and took a defensive stance. Kaaaaang-! A sharp metallic sound rang out.
“Why are you blocking me again?”
Ronan clicked her tongue. I didn’t like the quick movements of the subject when everyone was dying. Having brought down the king he was conducting the battle on ground that was advantageous to him.
Kagagak! La Mancha who was clashing with the great sword was thrown out again and at the same time dozens of embers bloomed in the air. The king took a step back without realizing it.
『How dare a mortal…!』
The king gritted his teeth. Unlike himself who was getting weaker Ronan was getting stronger. As time passed the curse remaining in his body was slowly melting away like a snowy field welcoming spring.
【Blow it away Ronan!】
At that time Navardose’s voice rang out from the sky. She was alone dealing with hundreds of familiars summoned by the king. Every time crimson flames swept the sky the beasts made of light turned into particles and disappeared.
They were of a different class from the familiars of other giants but they were simply surprising. The king who was aiming for a few more sums grabbed the hilt of his sword.
“cheeky….”
If I was pushed like this there would be no answer. Ronan was still sticking to his strategy of aiming for excessive bleeding so the longer the fight went on the more disadvantaged she was.
‘…Should we retreat?’
He felt ashamed just thinking about it but there was nothing he could do about it. If he brought back the power he had gathered on his home planet he could have taken care of these scum in an instant but it was too wasteful to use it to devour just a small star.
It was the moment when the agonized king was about to make a decision. An eerie sensation came over him as if someone was stroking his heart.
『What.』
He couldn’t understand. Someone was touching his source of power. The king took a deep breath and raised his head to look up at the sky.
Something was happening beyond the magic circle connected to his hometown. Soon the king noticed the presence of an intruder and sighed.
“Abel…!”
