chapter 63
63 – Two Steps to Ruin
Play. A word used to mean having fun and having fun.
“….”
The owner of the tower. No, when I heard that from Leon.
Enlil realized that something he was carrying was being shattered.
“Yu-hee,” He said. All of that.”
The voice that descended to the bottom of that abyss, and the eyes.
Rion’s heart skipped a beat at the sight for a moment. His chest felt like it was sinking.
However, since there is no way to go back now, I tried to part his lips.
“You were the first warrior to come here, to the Throne Hall. It was the only pleasure for me, who had been waiting for the enemy for nearly 100 years. Seriously, if it wasn’t for you, I might have gone mad.”
I was sincere. If it weren’t for her, she would have gone mad.
With all hope thrown into the darkness, he must have howled like a beast, pessimistic about his situation.
To him, a woman named Enlil was truly the only joy and hope.
“By the way, your level is still low. I haven’t been in a while I am grateful that someone came, but after fighting, there was no tension. So it was sent Come back stronger.”
“… Stop.”
“But he was still weak. Eleanor Celestine. It seemed like it would take a while to get to the level I wanted. So I decided to write another number. I am giving you a chance myself.”
“Stop.”
Stop, I want to stop. I want to do that too if I can.
Whether or not I can return to the original world now doesn’t really matter.
That may have been the reason in the beginning, but that is not the only reason so far.
If this is not done, everything will disappear, including Enlil.
The people she wants to protect, and the world, will all fall prey to the beasts.
No matter how many warriors you have, you can’t handle the unlimited number of monsters.
There is no best way to avoid certain destruction.
If there is a way, there is only one. The death of himself, the owner of the Tower.
Clap clap clap—
Would my voice shake or crack while I was talking?
To hide it, Leone even clapped her crazy claps.
“The results were great! You took my lessons and became a very sharp dagger that could kill me! Also, my prediction was correct. You needed a guide, Enlil! And thanks to these faithful teachings, I have come this far! How is it? What teachings did the owner of the tower give you?”
Ugh!—
As if not wanting to hear more, Enlil swung her sword with all her might.
As before, it has strong power and even mana, but the trajectory is completely messed up.
Attack of this level is the same attack as telling the opponent to avoid.
I even thought about getting hit by that blow. It would be really nice if it ended like this.
But Leon had a hunch. Can’t die from that The curse still persists.
A murderous intent pouring down on himself, and an unavoidable fatal blow.
That was the only key to liberation from all hell.
“Ah, of course I admit that I got serious for a while along the way. Stop being drunk on beauty without even realizing it. Umm, if I knew it would be like this, I would have taken not only my mind but also my body. That’s a bit unfortunate.”
Once you make up your mind, even when you think about it, gross words come out easily.
I still feel like my heart is breaking. It feels like my head is burning.
Since this is the only way left, we cannot hesitate.
“… Therefore.”
Enlil, who staggered and retrieved the sword, uttered a subdued voice.
“So, it was all your plan.”
“You should see that.”
“The things that saved me up until now, using the shell of Leone, strengthened me, guided me, and everything I did. It was just a game to appease the boredom of 100 years.”
“… After. Whoops. hahahaha. Ahahahaha….”
hahahaha. Ha ha ha. A hollow laugh fills the throne hall.
Enlil, who had been laughing for a long time, turned her unfocused eyes.
“A lie.”
“….”
“It’s a lie.”
Yes, that’s a lie. I can’t. It is impossible.
It was really a game? Was it simply to appease boredom?
So, what about all the things that a man named Leone has shown you so far?
All that was acting? No, no. No way. I can’t.
Enlil shook her head. Everything she saw was sincere.
Those eyes that she looked at herself, those eyes that were full of worry.
The touch that gently brushed my hair, her cheeks. A hand patting her shoulder.
His back was a place he could rest for a moment.
When we kissed for the first time, the uneasy breathing.
Even though she was full of hesitation, she finally made the gesture that held her in her arms.
He was always worried, always worried, and always conflicted.
Yes, he was like that. That Enlil certainly remembers.
“Disgusting bastard! You stole my memories!? Is that why you’re doing this!?”
“There was no need to steal memories. I am the owner of those memories in the first place.”
“Busssing! I can’t. Impossible! You and him are completely different!”
“Is that so?”
After blocking the flying attack once, Leone took out the body he was using outside the tower.
Until now, Enlil was known as Rion, but only part of it.
The result of projecting yourself in the world where you have to return after being trapped in this world.
What Enlil gave her heart, what she loved was nothing but lies.
“If it’s just because they look different, I’ll do it this way.”
Rion, who appeared in the form he used outside the tower, takes a step forward.
Then Enlil staggered back as if greatly shocked.
“… No. Nonsense.”
“Sure. But this is the truth. Haven’t you already vaguely noticed?”
“No.”
“The Leon you knew may not be human. No, maybe it could be an existence that must disappear for the sake of the world. Why are you doing this when you’ve known for a while?”
“No!!!”
Scream. I can’t accept it. All of that so far is a lie?
No. It can’t be. If that’s true, what the hell have I been doing all this time?
“Coup! Black! Coke, Coke!”
I can’t breathe. My heart feels like it’s about to burst and die.
My vision is blurry, as if it’s foggy, and my body loses strength.
If there is such a thing as a soul, isn’t this how it feels to escape entirely?
I just want to die like this. I wish I never woke up
Enlil involuntarily looked at the sword in his hand.
This is a nightmare. Yes, it must be a nightmare. Otherwise it is not explained
Then wouldn’t it be better to die right now? If I die, won’t I wake up?
My hands are getting stronger and stronger. The sword that was heading towards the owner of the tower sharpened its blade the other way around.
A great temptation that cannot be resisted. The hope that it will all be over with one knife.
When Enlil was drawn to it and gradually pointed the sword at his own throat.
“Don’t pretend to be weak, Enlil.”
In front of him, the one who has now completely transformed into Leone approaches with a cold expression.
“You are strong enough now. Hit it right So far, it’s not a waste of time and effort I’ve put in. I saved you all this time, so shouldn’t I repay you for that?”
“….”
“Stand up. And go for it Fight. I invested my all in this nonsensical play, so shouldn’t I respond as an actor? Let’s do it right You and I, on this stage.”
Yes. I knew this was going to happen, and I tried to make my anger burn somehow.
You may end up taking your own life in despair.
In order to prevent that, Leon wanted all the negative things to pour into himself.
“….”
As if he had made up his mind, Enlil again turned his sword towards Leon.
Red flames are ignited in the pupils that have been staring out of focus.
I’ve never been like that before, but the mana is gushing out like it’s about to explode.
“Absolutely.”
And above the flames, as Enlil declares, slowly recites.
“I will definitely kill you. Before that, after cutting off the limbs and letting them roll. I’m going to ask you again why did you do that? Master of the tower. So, think carefully about your answer.”
“You already know all the answers, but I don’t know why you keep doing that. Enlil. I was just playing. Because it’s boring You’re human, pretending to be human. Since you don’t know men, pretending to be a man.”
Yes. Literally, I treated that person as a woman. She became the man who took the woman to heart.
Knowing full well that he is an opponent who can never achieve anything. In the end, I know for sure that I will be the one who can’t leave anything behind.
Because it is human, because it is human. I was forced to do so.
“… Disgusting fellow.”
Rion laughed. Yeah, he’s kind of like that even if he thinks about it.
No matter what the reason, didn’t you break a person like that?
In addition to this heinous acting. It’s disgusting.
Quarrr!
With the sword Enlil was holding, mana blazed like flames.
It’s like swinging a sword wrapped in fire. Even just looking at it gives me chills down my spine.
I can feel it. From now on, it will truly be a life-or-death battle.
With Enlil’s ability already on track, the reason why he must win was created.
To save the world and people? What is your duty as a warrior? Fatality? Well.
Isn’t there something more primitive, simple and clear than that?
If you are a ‘human’, you can never be free. The very thing that will make anyone run amok.
“I will kill you.”
Rage. Hatred. Plural. Hell itself, all of which came together.
In this truly ridiculous situation, in which we must lead the destruction in order to prevent it.
“Khehehe.”
All Leon could do was laugh.
