chapter 64
64 – Two Steps to Destruction
Charah―
A ray of light shines in the eyes of those waiting near the tower.
Those who confirmed it immediately got up from their seats and ran there.
Enlil was like that, and the saintess was like that. With that light, the warriors came back alive.
Even though the tower didn’t collapse, there are hopes that hovered right near it.
Maybe God knows that, so he wants to protect them.
“Lord Enlil… Huh!”
But everyone who was about to greet the warrior backs away in fright.
“….”
Enlil’s appearance is beyond words. It’s miserable.
The wounds engraved all over the body are also scars, but they are covered in blood.
Even her hair was dyed red, it was like seeing a blood-mad demon.
Talk― Talk―
The blood running through her hair creates a small puddle on the ground.
From anyone’s point of view, he is seriously injured. You need to treat it right away.
So they rushed at her just about Enlil and tried to support her.
“Don’t come closer!”
A high voice, or a scream. Or that cry that might be both.
The voice was so shrill that everyone froze on the spot.
I am so embarrassed that Enlil suddenly reacted like this.
She is someone who has never been like that. She never raised her voice.
I know that because they have seen Enlil.
Is it because he was defeated by the owner of the tower and couldn’t fulfill his duty as a hero?
Of course, you will feel pressured because of that. But that’s not it.
A man named Enlil used it as fuel to burn more fire.
If so, why the hell do you react like that? Could that be the reason for that horrible and miserable appearance that I have never seen before?
What happened at the tower so that people are vehemently refusing to reach out?
“Lord Enlil! I need to start with treatment….”
“Don’t come closer. Don’t touch No one, no one come.”
Chae-in!―
Even Enlil draws her sword from her girdle.
People are very surprised to see it, and they hurriedly step back.
None of them would dare to take that woman’s sword.
No, it’s going to be hard to find someone who can easily do that even if you search all over the world.
He is a person who has returned from the tower, where no warriors have been able to return alive.
The stage that can be simply dismissed as luck has long passed.
Everything is Enlil, that warrior’s skill. It is an overwhelming force.
But you want me to stand in front of him, in front of the sword he wields?
In the blink of an eye, your body will roll across the spiral floor.
At least they didn’t want to die meaninglessly like that.
“… A moving magic circle.”
“Eh, yes?”
“Tell me to prepare that right away.”
A very sudden request. No, it could be an order.
When Enlil did that, all of her people stared blankly at her, dazed.
“Can’t you hear me?! Get ready right now!”
If you feel like you’re going to tear people to pieces with just your momentum, wouldn’t you say that right away?
People are startled and scatter in all directions. One of them will still deliver the words.
Believing so, Enlil dragged her motionless leg forcibly.
“… Yu-hee, you say.”
I hoped not. I believed it could never happen. It shouldn’t have been.
A place that became a resting place for a weary self.
The bright lighthouse that told me I was this way when I was lost.
The warmest person who held onto his collapsed shoulders.
All that was lost. No, no. Can’t say I’m lost
In the first place, none of them existed. It was just a simple joke.
That’s why it’s absurd to say he lost it.
It’s just that he was a toy.
“Ughhh… Ahahahaha….”
With laughter mingled with sobs, Enlil continued her steps.
The raging fire in my heart keeps trying to spread all over the place.
I want to swing my sword like this and cut down everything in sight.
I want to destroy and break everything that comes into my field of vision.
Uh-
Bite your lips until the blood flows. Come to your senses. That’s what he wants.
That bastard who insulted me and played with me until the end is what I want the most.
I can’t be swayed. Can’t die yes, not yet
Kill. Kill. Sure to kill Even if I risk my soul, I will definitely do it.
“Eh, Lord Enlil. As you said, the movement magic circle….”
In the meantime, a man points to a place with a frightened voice.
There, some people were preparing a moving magic circle without knowing why.
“….”
I didn’t say thank you. It doesn’t mean anything now.
Why do I have to have that kind of emotion or mind as a person?
“Me! First of all, even if you tell me where you want to go! Lord Enlil!”
Leaving behind her urgent voice, she led her body onto the blue light.
Charah—
The soft wind lingers on the skin and then gradually disappears.
The warm sunlight tries to melt my frozen heart.
The fragrant flower scent and fresh grass mask the fishy smell of blood.
“….”
Enlil looked around blankly.
This is the first place where she is allowed to rest.
The precious place I was with that man and I must not forget.
A sanctuary of her own that no one has secretly included in her place to be protected.
Kwajik!―
The place, Enlil with her own hands, began to break and dig.
Quaguaguagua!―
Every time the sword is swung, the green world collapses.
The blue stream turned into disgusting muddy water that polluted the flowers and grass.
The growing vegetation is dug up to the root and faces an irreversible end.
It destroys everything that has become someone’s shelter and memories.
“Ah. Ahhh! aaagh!”
Screaming, spewing out this unquenchable flame.
Enlil swung her sword in all directions. Her surging burst all her mana.
Every time that happened, it was so beautiful, so precious, so I wanted to protect it.
As much as hometown. No, maybe it erased everything she longed for even more than her hometown.
“Aagh! aaa!!”
Everything disappears. Kick it out get out of my head forever
Don’t even think about it again. More terrible than any hell, deadlier than any ruin.
For now, it is the duty and destiny of a warrior, and this is more important than anything else.
I will erase them all without leaving a trace. Will turn everything to nothing.
And with nothing left behind, only flames and ashes.
Climb up the tower one last time, dig out the damn thing’s heart, chew it, and eat it.
So did Enlil three days and three nights, without taking any treatment or eating or drinking anything.
I was only focused on crushing, destroying, and erasing all the memories in front of me.
*
The reborn Enlil is strange. It’s a look I’ve never seen before.
The degree of injury is strange, but more than that, his mental state is very unstable.
The strange words began to spread in all directions like poison fog.
As soon as he returned, he threatened people and demanded a moving magic circle.
Then he got on the moving magic circle and disappeared somewhere.
There was no word of where he was going or a promise of when he would return.
After that, the surprised people released people and started looking for the whereabouts.
It didn’t take long. A place was in the process of being completely crushed.
According to the people involved, it was a very beautiful field.
Suddenly, no one knew why Enlil hated the place so much that he was overthrowing it.
One thing is certain, though, that if Enlil is stopped there, he will die unconditionally.
So no one could approach her to stop her.
Some even went looking for Instructor Leone, who seemed to be close to Enlil.
But he said he took a vacation like before and he still hasn’t returned.
No one knew what had happened or if it was just a brief delay.
In the end, no one can step out until Enlil returns on his own.
In the midst of everyone trembling in fear because this had never happened before.
I wondered if a ray of light was coming down from the tower, and then he spit out a woman.
“Saint!”
Looking at the time before, she was Seria who returned more than a few days late.
Because Enlil had business, the people who greeted her hurriedly checked her appearance.
Have you been seriously injured like Enlil, or have you been overcome with anger?
“Saint? Holy Lady!”
“… Ah. Yes. Did you call?”
But Seria’s appearance was completely different from Enlil’s.
A completely bewildered expression. A face that seems to keep thinking about something else even when people talk to it.
When the people around her asked why, she let out a sigh and finally removed her lips.
“Pi, I guess it’s because I’m tired. I’m OK. Really, really.”
“Is that so? Fortunately, it seems that there are no serious injuries. Come on.”
“More than that… If there is any news about Sister Enlil….”
People let out a deep sigh and explained the situation.
Enlil, who returned a few days ago, has become a completely different person.
I don’t know what the hell happened, but no one can approach it carelessly now.
I feel like I’ve become a flame that literally sets my soul on fire.
“… Okay.”
Seria was not surprised to hear that.
Rather, her voice, which seemed to be drooping, was thick with regret.
