Chapter 43. Don’t stop (3)
I knew it wasn’t the case.
But they were very similar.
It was so similar that it reminded me of Planz from sometime ago, and a sudden confusion came over me.
Because of that confusion, I ended up experiencing unbelievable confusion. Memories of keeping Evan’s sword open in my mind were mixed up.
In an instant, another fragment of memory emerged from the chaos. In addition to the memories of Plants, the memories of Bern that Calian had came up.
– What did the child disturb his father?
– Is there any need to ask the reason for a sword that has already been swung?
– Even if we already killed it, we need to know the reason.
– Does anything change if you know that now?
– If you don’t answer, I will make the guard standing over there look like that child and ask the question again. What kind of hindrance was that child to his father?
– This is the successor to the place you visited last month.
heir. And a child.
I just barely thought about it.
A moment in my memory engulfed my mind without any pause.
– So I sent you back. Shouldn’t the later troubles be eliminated in advance?
– Just for that reason…
– Just for that reason. What if you leave that child alone and grow up to be as vicious as you?
Because that kid who suddenly appeared and some damn guy who was sleeping in the palace looked similar. And by chance, a memory of another child who was similar to that child came to mind.
It was a short period of time, barely enough to take a single breath, but it definitely caught my attention. Even though I’ve been told that I shouldn’t think too much, I still thought.
therefore.
The momentary gap created by that thought. that.
– Phew!
Evan didn’t miss out.
“…… under.”
This…
seems like a ruined family.
Because this guy and that guy are all green.
Wait… I was confused. I.
“I’m going to be amazed…”
What is a grass field?
* * *
I was worried that it would be too late.
I can’t sit still, so what should I do?
If Evan died, the oath on Alan’s heart would be released along with it. So, even without looking at the window, I could tell that the situation was over. Nevertheless, I had no idea that Alan’s eyes would fall outside the window as he stood by the window. My pacing footsteps could not leave in front of the window.
It’s time to come.
‘Calian.’
I couldn’t leave Lemain’s side.
Although he was Calian’s teacher, Alan was the commander of a corps in Balkan.
There was no telling what would happen when the palace defenses were reduced, so no matter how many wizards there were, Alan had to be by Lemain’s side. Rationally, I knew.
“count.”
Lemain, who was sitting on the sofa without saying a word, called Alan.
Alan quietly turned his head and looked at the person who called him out.
“I’m having a hard time waiting any longer, so I’d like you to come.”
LeMaine, who was just sitting on the sofa and had the same heart as Alan, was also looking out the window.
“Nothing will happen.”
Alan, suppressing the desire to run out immediately and thinking for the thousandth time why he had to be here, checked out the window once again and answered quietly.
Lemain, who was quietly looking at Alan, said.
“Go and get him. I will take responsibility for whatever you do.”
I asked for a favor.
The King of Kairis to the Commander-in-Chief of the Balkan Legions.
A man who was just incompetent to the great wizard.
Kalyan’s father to Kalyan’s father.
* * *
Ha.
Another sound, I don’t know if it was a laugh or a sigh, escaped.
“There’s nothing you can’t do in front of a child.”
Drip, drip, drip.
Thick drops of blood, as bright as a dark red sword with the tip touching the floor, dotted down.
Calian glanced down at the blade embedded deep in the middle of his abdomen and tightened the hand holding his sword. Evan answered, having suffered quite a bit of pain as a reward for turning a blind eye for just a moment.
“I told you, I can’t leave this place.”
Calian did not react to Evan’s words.
Calian took his gaze away from the sword he had cut inside and smiled pretty at the green-eyed child standing in the distance. A soft voice came out that did not suit the current situation at all.
“I’m dreaming.”
Think of it as a dream.
[Sleep]
“Because it’s a nightmare… don’t remember.”
– Shake it off!
The child, who was looking at Evan, Calian, and the sword in Evan’s hands with wide open eyes, and Calian who was pierced by the sword, fell to the floor.
After confirming that the child, whose identity he did not know, was asleep, Calian gathered all the Aurors who had been protecting his body and prevented Evan’s sword from entering the body any further.
Either way, Evan wrenched out the sword that was stuck in Calian’s body.
– Patter!
As the sword blocking the wound disappeared, a handful of blood poured onto the floor.
In an instant, Calian’s body swayed.
Evan’s two swords swung towards Calian’s neck and heart.
– Kaaaang!
Calian managed to raise his sword and block Evan’s attack. And laughed.
Evan, who was frowning, kicked the floor. Before I knew it, Calian was rushing towards me with a gust of wind. Like someone who has forgotten what came in and out of their body just moments ago.
Evan urgently turned his body to avoid Calian’s sword aimed at his heart. No, I tried to avoid it.
I couldn’t block all the dark red attacks that came at me faster than I thought. Calian’s sword opened a deep gash on the left side of Evan’s heart as he twisted his body.
– Wow!
Drops of blood bursting from Evan’s wounds dotted the hallway walls. Drops of bright red blood flowed down to the floor.
– Taaat!
Before I could get used to the pain coming from that deep wound, I saw Calian’s feet kicking the ground. Evan, who postponed attacking with his left side, which did not require much force, raised the sword in his right hand.
Calian, who was throwing his body, suddenly jumped up again, stepping on the tip of Evan’s sword.
Because Calian’s sword was a little faster, Evan hurriedly took a few steps while holding the sword. I tried to move away, but the narrow distance did not easily widen. A sharp pain continued to run down my spine and I shook my head.
‘Who the hell is that guy!’
Evan’s wounds were deep.
The wound given to Calian was fatal.
Even without having to see it with the eyes, it is clear that the depth of the wound is different. However, just looking at what he is doing creates the illusion that Calian’s wounds are much milder.
– Hwiik!
Calian approached Evan in a short leap and swung his sword. Evan also responded by forcing his arm, which was not moving well.
While cutting horizontally with the sword in his right hand, he grabbed the sword in his left hand and struck it down. Calian, who struck down the sword coming from above, continued to swing the sword in the same direction it was moving. The sword that was cutting quickly fell towards the floor and lost direction.
– Kaaaang! Kagang!
Rather, the attack became more intense.
Evan’s posture began to change little by little due to the clearly changed movements of the dark red sword. My mind, which had been focusing again on dealing with Calian, began to become a little untidy.
– Kaaang kang kaang!
Drip, drip, drip.
Blood flowed from Evan’s wound, which exposed his red insides. Blood poured out from Calian’s wound, which was hard to see because of his black clothes. It had been a while since my black clothes had become even more wet.
Calian, who stumbled once and straightened up again, opened his mouth as was his habit.
“Oh right.”
Evan, who had lost his relaxed appearance and was out of breath, looked at Calian.
“The reason I noticed it earlier… I couldn’t tell you properly.”
What on earth are you talking about in the middle of this!
Evan, who had no intention of listening to the will of the person who had hurt him, frowned and took a step forward. All I could think about was that I had to kill that guy as quickly as possible.
– Shhh!
Evan seemed to think he didn’t have to use the arm on the side of the deep cut, so he extended only the sword in his right hand to Calian.
Seeing this, Calian took a step back and let go of the sword he was holding. Then he moved again, dropping his arms toward the floor.
Calian’s appearance disappeared without a trace.
Whether it’s blood or auras, things that can’t be distinguished anymore are splattered on the floor.
Evan felt a cool energy coming from behind him and quickly turned around and raised his sword.
– Ugh!
– Ugh!
Two sounds.
A sword that changes into whatever form you want at any time.
This time instead of a long sword, instead of a dagger, instead of a shield, or instead of a club or Lucy toy.
A sword that was thinner than usual was in Calian’s hand.
Evan crossed his two swords to block Calian’s sword.
– Kaaaang!
Evan blocked Calian’s attack.
With a sharp clanging sound, the dark red sword stopped in the air.
– …… Kwasik!
Only one was blocked.
“I’m not using it.”
Two swords that changed shape in an instant were held in each hand of Calian. One is blocked and the other is.
“… It’s not that I can’t use it. Me too.”
Calian concluded his words while looking at the second dark red sword that pierced Evan’s heart exactly.
slowly.
Evan slowly raised his head.
I looked at Calian.
Bright red light.
It also reminded me of the red cloak I wore that day.
-Whose son am I?
It reminds me of bright red hair that closely resembles the flowing blood that I saw one day long ago.
“You…”
A cold aura appeared on Calian’s face as he looked at Evan with eyes of similar color.
– Get it!
Since he meant to say what he wanted to say, not to have a conversation, Calian threw away the sword in his hand.
There was no longer any need to look Evan in the eyes and there was no reason to listen to him.
“That’s right. Why did you say you would teach me?”
…… Don’t do that.
– Shake it off.
Evan’s body lost strength and fell to its knees, having no support.
The eyes that were looking at Calian moved slightly. He looked at the swords in Calian’s hands one by one and then said that.
– Coo!
I collapsed onto the cold floor.
I closed my eyes.
Calian, who was watching the scene until the end, let out a long breath. I took a long, long breath.
– Saaaa…
I immediately felt two types of magical power dissipating.
Some that are a little older and some that are a lot older.
Calian, who clearly felt that the seal of oath that Plants and Alan had made with Evan was disappearing, smiled faintly.
“I’m sick of it.”
Calian took a slow step and picked up the black pebble that had fallen near Evan’s body and placed it in his arms.
Then, he took a few more steps, picked up the robe he had taken off a moment ago, and returned to Evan’s side, who had already stopped breathing. I raised my unmovable arm and unfolded the black cloth.
– Flap!
He didn’t bother to cover Evan’s body with his robe.
It was not courtesy to the marquis or to the knight with whom he had been fighting for a long time.
I wanted to move the child who had fallen asleep at the end of the hallway to another place, but I was not in a position to do so. There was no way I could put that child anywhere, so I had no choice but to cover up Evan’s body.
“I don’t think I’m in a position to be considerate.”
still.
I hope that what that child, who knows nothing, wakes up and sees before the people come to clean up this place is at least the corpse of my own flesh and blood.
I don’t know where or how I will live in the future.
I was too young to realize that what I thought was a nightmare was actually reality. Because that’s a bit harsh.
– Drop, drop, patter.
When I straightened my lower back, the dark red blood once again fell to the floor.
“Planz… this head of grass.”
Outside the dark window, he saw a shimmering light gathering. Unable to think about what it was, Kalian just kept moving his feet.
Calian, clutching the wound on his abdomen, stumbled around and eventually stopped and leaned against the wall.
“You seem like an enemy brother…”
The seal of the oath bound to Calian’s heart was still there.
So the light green peas are still green.
Damn you.
A bastard who is stubborn at not listening.
Still, I’m sure I won’t sell my heart and come back somewhere else.
Otherwise.
– Toad, toad, toad.
No problem.
You’ll live longer than a cat
