The approaching soldiers' movements are quick and their swords are sharp.
With flames lighting up their armor and small hands, they are unable to wield their 'body arts' in their pockets.
''Kook--!
The [Level Up] soldiers are unable to subdue them in one breath, and it takes a lot of time.
In the meantime, my master, who had stunned two soldiers late to me, shouts while approaching Romis.
''Haha, haha, haha--! Lomis Neysha! Where are you getting that element of fire, the 'demonic poison', from!
'What, you didn't notice? From the ground, of course it's a fancier, right? I am a lord, after all. I'm entitled to take it from these lords as tax revenue.
The master questioned Romis, aware of the answer.
He wanted to hear a different answer than he had guessed, but the enemy did not respond to his expectations.
''As long as the people receive treatment, any number of 'demonic poisons' will be supplied through the right arm, left arm, right leg, and left leg of the Fire God scattered in various places. So, in other words, I can now control the flames extravagantly without any worries.
'You ......! Don't help the people you can help! Keep cutting up girls' bodies, tricking them all into praying! Is that what a lord who should be protecting everyone should do!
'Would I be so bad? As a lord, you just had to do your job tightly and save the strength you needed in case of an emergency, right? In fact, I am now using my accumulated strength to secure the God of Light to enrich Phania. This is all thanks to the preparations I made in advance. Considering Fania's prosperity, aren't all my decisions correct?
Hearing the reply, Master stopped and refuted it, looking at the 'one who steals the reason for the fire' that was sleeping surrounded by soldiers just a few feet away.
''You drove her to that point! Correct? The real right thing to do would have been to work with her to go around and heal as many people as possible who suffer from this phania! It was your greed that kept you from doing so! Because I wanted to keep her miracle power all to myself!
'Yeah, you're right about that too. There's no denying it. ...... God of Light, the power of this fire is truly amazing. I don't have to rely on the power of the group while being a lord. Now I don't have to trust anyone anymore. I don't need to rely on anyone else, I can solve everything by myself. If it's just me, I will never fail again--
Romis, with room to spare, accepted all of his master's arguments.
In the face of this attitude, the master trembled with anger and ran out. Then, in front of the soldiers who were standing in front of him, he would formulate a 'spell' with all his might.
''Now, give her everything back! Cut-throat flame! --Cursed Flames!
Just like Romis, the master created flames from his entire body and let them strike the soldiers in front of him.
The soldiers were unable to avoid the flames that crawled at them with their snake-like movements. However, the 《Flame》 that Master had created did not burn the enemy to death.
What the 《Flame》 was targeting was not human flesh, but the flames of Romis.
The flames intertwined with the flames, interfering with each other and trying to devour each other.
--At the end, the flames and the flames canceled each other out and disappeared.
The soldiers, stripped of their enhancements and flame blessings, were challenged by their master to a close battle in the flesh.
Seeing this scene, I was surprised, but I switched tactics, saying that I couldn't afford to be late to my master.
As I recall, the flames of the 'spellcasting' technique were 'compensating' for the memories. If this continues, Master will throw away his memories without limit. I won't allow that to happen, so I will also allow myself to be consumed.
I wrote in my mind, "The pain of being burned by the flesh is not so bad. After writing "the pain of being burned by the flesh is light, it's as good as nothing", I take the arm of the enemy covered in fire.
Then, with a technique you learned from your sister, you twist and break the arm.
The soldiers were overconfident in the flames they wore. As a result, instead of my flesh being scorched and burnt, the limbs of the soldiers facing me were broken one by one.
The soldiers collapsed in pain from the broken bones and let out inarticulate screams.
I jump over their heads and make my way to Romis. On the other side of me, my mentor is also approaching the soldiers, incapacitating them.
If this continues, my master and I will be able to pin the hated Lomis down.
When I thought that, Romis changed his expression and muttered.
''Shall we use fire as well? I'm happy to say that the Light God seems to be moderately adept at it. For the sake of future battles, I wanted to win without wear and tear, but ...... this can't be helped. Let's switch to a tactic that allows for attrition and get a solid victory.
Romis raised his heart in his hand.
Instantly, the 'demonic poison' in the room rushed like a storm. After the illusion of being swallowed by a tsunami, the sound of flames burning behind them could be heard.
Feeling the unusual 'demonic poison' and heat, I turned around.
''What--?''
The soldiers who were supposed to have been defeated earlier were on fire.
It wasn't just an easy flame to light on their armor from earlier.
The ignition point of the flames was their flesh and blood. The smell of burning human flesh filled the room vigorously, and one by one, the soldiers burst into flames. And it was no exception to the healthy soldiers.
''Lady Neysha!''
The soldiers, still able to fight, didn't know why they were being burned, and called out their superiors' names.
'Yeah. I'm sorry, but the material for this is strictly confidential. It needs to be kept quiet.
Oh, no...
But in the middle of the words, the soldiers were easily swallowed up by the flames and lost their voices.
One after another, the lives of the soldiers were turned into woodwood, and a new flame was born.
All of the soldiers turned into flames, leaving one Director holding his head at the edge. The flames were about twice the volume of a person - and on top of that, they retained the shape of a person.
The monsters that should be called flaming giants spawned and fell, and Master muttered as he trembled.
''This flame momentum ....... ''The 'price' ......? And that's just one person's body at ......?
Hearing those words, Romis replies with a brighter expression.
''Ah, so the Light God knows how it works too. If it's ......, why doesn't the Light God also use 'compensation'? Are you paying the 'price' for yourself earlier, or is that a slight to me? If so, you're not becoming just like the flame god there: ....... Oh, it's not as if you're not becoming, God of Light! Why don't you impose the 'price' on others! Even a child knows what the word 'sacrifice' means! If you're going to make me lose money, it's going to be someone else rather than yourself! That's what it means to live in the world!
Neyshiaaaa--!
In the face of incompatible ideas, the master shouted, picked up his sword and slashed at it.
However, he was blocked by flames with substance on the way. They were the flaming giants that had become monsters earlier.
Using the monsters as a shield, Romis continues to speak.
''So don't be so angry. This is what the Altfel religion is all about. Isn't it great? I'll make the lords pay for the 'Demon Poison' and 'Price', leave the conversion work to the 'Flame God', and I, the lord, will only wield the power of the 'Miracle'! Crap, I've always wanted to make someone else proud of this city! God of Light, will you listen to me more and more?!
'We're all praying for you! I believe in you, my lord, and I pray for you every day! All day, every day, in the hope that one day it will heal! You're going to 'pay for' that prayer, my dear!
Yeah, it's all because of prayer. And those innocent prayers are now the force that will bring you down.
Romis waved his hand to the side.
Then, the fire giants that were nearby all jumped at once towards their master. The flame giants born behind me rushed at me with an agility that wasn't matched by their stature as well.
Unable to bear it, my master and I jumped back and took distance from Romis.
I was forced to focus on intercepting the fire giants.
I dodged with my 'body technique' and Master counteracted the flames with his 'spell technique'. However, the enemy's amount of materials pushed us inch by inch, and the distance to the hated Lomis only grew longer.
The situation frustrated his master from the bottom of his heart, and he let out a cursed voice.
''It's your fault ......! There was a child who should have been saved but wasn't: ......! You're on your own, for your own evil! An innocent child dies unreasonably: ......!
But no matter how many words we say, it doesn't reflect on the situation.
We continue to be overwhelmed by the flaming giants.
Seeing the situation, Romis stops his previous man-eating mannerisms and spills out a soliloquy.
'...... that's it? It's a bit of a shame. There have been changes in the way you're treated depending on how this battle went, but you're still children. You can't help but cry when you're hounded, you can't help but distort the order by wielding borrowed power. The only thing that serves the world well is for me to siphon off my power.
I was faintly aware of it, but it seems that Romis' agitated tone was to gauge his master's ability, values, ideology and purpose.
And now that our price tag is over, Romis is going to end the fight.
With a light wave of Romis' hand, the heat of the relative fire giants increases.
The speed and skill of their movements have both increased, and I realize that they've been holding back all along.
I was slowly becoming unable to handle the relative flame giants, and my master was approaching the limit with only his sword and 'spellcasting'.
If we continued like this, we would be defeated and captured by the enemy.
I had already finished anticipating the end of that story (Mirai) with my usual senses (skills).
--It's not so bad, I think.
If my priority is to protect my master's life, then it's best to lose in this area. Master will receive life-prolonging treatment as the God of Light, and I will be kept alive as a pawn of value to be used. --and sister Youtaki is free.
Including Romis's words and actions up to this point, I was almost convinced now that I was an enemy worthy of being defeated.
It's going to be hard on him in its own way, but not to that extent.
It's on the warm side of some of the more badly-ended books I've read.
The Fania version was moderately enjoyable, and with a smile on my face, when I was about to close the book - I could feel the swell of the 'demonic poison' like a tsunami from my master's direction.
''--?
The swell shook the world with a loud thud, like a heartbeat.
As soon as he turned his gaze, he saw his master, who was in a sparring match with the flaming giant's arm and sword, looking straight at Romis alone and spitting a curse.
''Can we lose? ......! I'm not going to let a horrible guy like you get to me: ......! You're right. I'm pretty sure a guy like you is the hardest to forgive. Oh, I couldn't allow it! No matter what the 'cost', that guy can't beat me to it: ......! Absolutely, positively, positively--!
Master was also under the influence of an unidentified obsession, trying to help people.
At the same time, the air around the master became distorted like a bent painting.
It wasn't caused by the heat of the flames. It was the 'power of the dimension' being activated in conjunction with Master's curse. The 'Demonic Poison' leaks out of Master's body, gradually turning a light purple color, shifting everything around him (・・・・・・).
It's the same as when I did an extensive 《level up》 yesterday - that bad one.
I've never seen the power of that misalignment (...) manipulated through the master's will. This should be judged as a state of out of control.
However, it was certain that only that unknown power was able to counter Romis.
In fact, Romis, who sensed his master's abnormalities just like I did, had a look on his face that he had never shown before.
''What's this ......? Isn't he a light user: ......?
Romis observed carefully and resumed his price tag.
I would similarly revise my predictions of future consequences in a big way.
The path of a major reversal comes to mind. From here, if I also fight by all means, there is a good chance that I can reach Romis' place.
While I'm thinking that, my master's power continues to swell. And the moment the path to a new ending is illuminated by a glimmer of hope--
'I'm not done with you yet, Lomis Neysha! Still--
You can't do that, Kanami.
The darkness caused by 'The One Who Steals the Reason of Darkness' closes everything.
As soon as Tida's voice was heard, the cutting edge of a dagger protruded from the master's abdomen. The owner of that dagger was peeking out of his master's shadow with only his upper body, as if he was coming out of a lake.
Tida, lurking in the darkness, stabbed his master from behind with the dagger.
That too sudden and fatal wound left Master voiceless, and he could only poke his knees in the air.
''--? d*mn, ah, ......
Master?
I scream my name.
From the looks of it, it's not a wound that can kill you instantly.
As long as the 'spell' is healed, it's okay even if the organs are damaged.
However, the problem is the mud from The One Who Steals the Dark Reason. Obviously, it was smeared on the dagger and placed inside his body.
From the look on my master's face, it doesn't seem to be double the pain I experienced.
Rather, the opposite.
The pain and the many emotions associated with it seem to be suppressed. So, even though my master is knee-deep in a fatal wound, he is able to very calmly ask the question.
'Hey, why ......? Teada ......
Kanami, that doesn't make any sense.
Coming out of the shadows, Tida emerged completely out of her master's shadow, further amplifying the 'power of darkness'.
At that time, all of the turbulent emotions that seemed to shake Master's world had already subsided. The 'dimensional power' that seemed to be eroding the world had all dissipated.
It is a scene that proves that the power of the 'reason-stealer' is closely related to emotions.
And it also proves that the Darkness Power is uniquely powerful in a battle between the Stealers of Reason.
Hastily, I guessed Tida's purpose.
He seemed to have no choice but to come out because he disliked "the development of 'the one who steals the reason' only to defeat the enemy with overwhelming power".
Romis is as surprised as we are, and opens his mouth with a pout and squeezes the full name of The One Who Steals the Dark Reason out of the back of his throat.
'...... Tida?' Could it be Tida Lands?
Tida looks back at the call.
But she does not answer.
She continues to stare at Romis with the Noh mask of darkness that has become a monster pointed at her.
In front of it, Romis' face brightened.
He seems to be innocently happy, which is the opposite of his previous impressions, and declares the 'Stealer of the Darkness' to be 'Tida Lands'.
'Tida! I knew it was Tida! Hahahaha, I'm looking for you! My friend! Tida Rands!
'You can still tell it's me: ....... Romis: ......
With a look of contemplation, Tida answered the call.
The two of them were old friends, and there was no doubt that Tida was hiding it from him.
But even though she betrayed him so majestically, Tida's voice was - trembling.
There was much to be concerned about.
However, my master's life is my top priority, and I'm running without the two of them.
I kneel next to the severely injured Master and check his condition.
The master had already pressed his hands to the wound and was trying to treat it with 'spellcraft'.
However, the surgeon himself was not able to concentrate due to the pain and the effect was not good. I took out a thick book that I had kept in my pocket as a safeguard. It is a book that describes the "Technique" of "The Price" that my master had given me in the camp before I arrived in Fania. Now, you have time to focus on healing.
At any rate, Tida and Lomis left us alone and began to talk.
'Haha, do you understand? Of course. Aren't we the best of friends?
I wonder if our priorities are lower than Tida's for Romis, and the fire giant doesn't attack us either, just blocking our escape route.
I listened and closed up my master's wounds while I listened.
'Tida, I was really worried about you. Rumor has it that you're being treated like a killer in the city, right? If you're under me, you'll never let them do that to you. ......
That's what you do at .......
'But that's a relief now! Just stand next to me again, like in the old days, and all will be well! Now that you're worthy of being called the God of Darkness - the two of us together, we're invincible! ...... Yeah, of course, you're special. After all, you're my friend. I won't let you be treated like the fire god or light god there.
Romis doesn't give Tida a pause to rebut, but goes on to tell her how worried he was about her.
Tida's body continues to tremble as she hears this.
He had said it himself. Originally, the lords of Fania had been waiting to use 'The One Who Steals the Reason of Fire' as a bait to get the 'The One Who Steals the Reason of Darkness'.
Without a doubt, Romis is lying.
He is hiding his true desire to have all of Tida for himself by saying all the words that grate on his ears.
I know this because I'm of Lomis' ilk. He is the one who spread the rumor of the 'Black Hunger' in the city and gradually drove Tida into a corner.
Hey, Tida. You're an adult, just like me: ....... You're not like those children out there who are just children in the name of God. You know what I mean by that, don't you?
Romis reaches out to Tida, who remains silent, sharing memories like a friend.
Three years ago, I abolished the father of House Neysha and became the lord of all the people. "Three years ago, I abolished my father, the head of House Naysha, and became the Lord of Ten Thousand People, and you are now a member of the House of Lands, which supports the House of Naysha. ...... Above all, we have a friendship that has warmed between us since we were children. It's a bond no less than a blood bond. Hey, isn't it?
'Yes, you and I are friends, rotten by birth. There's no doubt about it.
From the conversation, it is clear that the Langs family itself, where Tida was born, was a servant of the Naysha family.
There is also a possibility that it was simply a 'branch of the Neysha family' that shared the blood of the Neysha family. In that case, the two of them would be distant relatives.
Based on that relationship, I watched Tida and Romis reminisce.
'Then what need to hesitate, my friend! It's always been that way, hasn't it! All you have to do is listen to me. That has never been a mistake.
Yeah, I'm very grateful to you, Lomis. You have taught me a lot about how to win battles, how to prepare for them and how to betray my enemies. How to prepare for battle and how to betray the enemy: ...... I can say that I have survived to this day because I learned the art of it.
'Yeah, you're right! It would have been a foolish nobleman's thing to forge a sword in earnest and head for a duel! Tida Langs was the only one who knew! He realized before anyone else that fighting is about moving your mouth, not your sword! They join forces with the stronger, sometimes colluding with their enemies to bring down the few. At the drop of a hat, they take hostages of their dueling opponents, threaten them, manipulate them, and do not shed blood for nothing. That's the smart way to win!
You're right ....... The repetition of betrayal and being betrayed is the essence of human nature ....... Not a single thing you taught me was wrong.
'Yes! The quintessential Teeda, my greatest understanding! I know exactly what I'm talking about! I'm so glad to have someone who understands, you!
Unlike his master, Tida is easily nostalgic for the 'fraud'.
However, from the looks of it, Tida herself does not have the will to resist the 'fraud'.
The two of them throwing the word "friend" at each other seemed to be too late for a lot of things.
'So, Tida. So, Tida, let's settle our misunderstandings and rancor from three years ago now. I'm your best friend, and I forgive you for once trying to betray me. So you, too - you'll forgive me for burning your face off, won't you?
Romis unspokenly repeated his former teaching to "incorporate into something stronger".
Tida lays her hands on top of those black, muddy hands, which are smeared with pitch-black lies.
'...... Oh. I don't care if you forgive me or not. That was some kind of mistake, wasn't it?
'Ha, ha, ha! I always believed in you, Tida! You're my best friend. One misunderstanding is not going to change the bond between us! None!
Yeah, I trusted my best friend, too.
It was decided that Tida and Romis would fight together.
-- in that moment I begin to sort out who Tida is.
First of all, the hole in Tida's self-talk before she left was neatly filled in with the information I have now.
Thanks to this, I can write the introduction to The Story of Tida Lands, like a book, with my usual skill (skill).
"Five years ago, a Fania girl and a young man were reborn by 'The Apostle' as 'The One Who Steals the Reason of Fire' and 'The One Who Steals the Reason of Darkness'.
The newly born pair wielded their newfound power to help those suffering around them.
As a result, over the course of a year or so, they reestablished Fania.
However, the credit for the rebirth is snatched away by a man named Lomis Neesha.
Lomis instigated his old friend Tida, the thief of the logic of darkness, to help capture the thief and take over the Neysha family.
Later, after gaining the power of fire, Lomis attempted to capture Tida, who was no longer needed.
Betrayed by his best friend, Tida escaped with his life and hid in the city of Fania as the 'Black Hanged Man' and continued to rebel against Romis' city-building--
In the details, there were probably some important (events) such as the betrayal of the Director of the Seventh Magical Research Institute, but this should be a good approximation of the general history.
I'm confident in this assumption.
That's why I think.
Tida's defiance is too warm (and gentle) after having her face burned and everything taken from her.
But if you look at his current attitude towards Lomis, you can see the reason for this is a bit thin.
-- After his career, we read the heart of "The One Who Steals the Dark Reason".
His heart is terribly fragile and weak.
When he betrayed us earlier, his words of "I'm afraid of being betrayed" and "I need your help" are probably true.
Perhaps, but Tida craves the security of a true 'trusting relationship'.
But because of her unusual cowardice, she is not only unable to find something to believe in, she is also afraid of being trusted by someone else.
This is the condition for being chosen as Tida's "The One Who Steals the Reason".
This is the crack in the heart.
Because of this chack, Tida sees a fleeting dream of the trustworthy relationship she had with her best friend in the past. It's an illusion, and even though he knows that he will be betrayed one day - or perhaps it's because he knows that he will be betrayed from the beginning that he can feel safe on the contrary.
-- in other words, this guy is a troublesome man who is afraid of being betrayed, but can't be trusted unless he's the one who will betray him.
And now Tida is testing her master to see if she can really trust such a troublesome "stealer of the truth of darkness" as a companion.
Oh, for goodness sake. ......
I think I read the thoughts of an overly cumbersome, weak man (Tida) correctly.
But I don't sympathize with him at all.
I'm not ready to forgive him for betraying his master and putting himself in danger.
By way of reprimand, I confirm.
''Hey. Sorry to be on the outside, but are you sure that's what you want to do?
When asked, Tida replied with some hesitation.
'Me and Romis are friends ....... We've always been friends, and we'll always be friends.
But the mud Noh mask that had been burned by that friend or something was ugly and distorted.
It looked as if it was asking for help. Of course, I don't deserve such a look, so I continue to coldly confirm it.
'Hmm. So you're saying that you tricked us into bringing you here and selling us out? Because you want to go back to being that friend?
...... Oh. I don't mind if you think so.
There were many things I wanted to say back, but I didn't say them when I realized it was all for nothing.
'Kukk! Too bad, Princess Hoozeyer's! Come on, Tida! Proof of our friendship!
Romis raised his voice to use his newly acquired pieces.
Pressed by his voice, Tida walked towards us, holding a dagger in both hands.
It was my master next to me who responded to it.
Holding the wound with her left hand and gripping the sword with her right hand, she moves to confront it.
As my first priority is to protect my master's life, I immediately stop him.
''Master, no! Now that he's betrayed us, we'll just have to give up!
'Hah, hah, hah ......! Still at ......! I don't care if Tida is standing over there, it doesn't change what I do!
Even though it was obvious that it was impossible to rescue 'The One Who Steals Fire Reason', Master was stubbornly unwilling to change his opinion.
''There's no way it's going to go according to our initial plan anymore! I'm not even close to helping anyone!
'But I still promised her I'd help her! I can't change that now, not with this much!
'You don't promise me when you'll help me! Maybe next year or so! Now let's bring sister Sis and sister Yotaki and give it a real shot! Hey, Master!
He grips the hem of his master's cloak and pulls him back.
There, Master finally stops, turns around and repeats just one word.
''--Yotaki (...)?''
'Yes! Let's go back to the Hoosier's to get sister Yotaki! Sister Yotaki will be able to handle this situation!
When I repeated Sister Yangtaki's name, Master's momentum, which was like an arrow that was shot out, suddenly decreased.
He relaxed from his entire body and asked me back with an unprecedentedly frustrated face.
''Tiara ....... If it's not Yangtaki, it's not good enough? What's wrong with me?
'...... Master isn't sister Yotaki. Master has his own good qualities, and there are things that only he can do. If Sister Yotaki were here, I'd definitely say the same thing.
My goodness, ......? If you can't do it for Yangtaki, what can I do for you: ......? It's not like that: ......--
Master's voice trembled.
It's good that he finally stops, but this time he seems to have completely lost his will to fight. Tida gently calls out to her master, whose face is distorted.
''Kanami, can you still do it?''
He kept his distance and waited for his master's decision.
And then they exchanged words again that only the 'stealers of reason' can understand each other.
'Tida, I still believe that I am your friend! I know exactly what you're feeling right now: ......! I'm the same way (・・・・・)! I just need a little more time! I'll be back soon, ....... I'll be able to help you then. ......!
Unlike me, who had completely abandoned him, the Master was still trying to help Tida.
There was an empathy and understanding for the weak (Tida) that I didn't have.
But Tida herself shook her head and denied it.
'That won't work. It is useless if it is not in this situation. I want to know what Kanami's spur-of-the-moment choices are now: ......!
Saying that, Tida rushed out.
In contrast, Master, after a slight hesitation, squeezes out a large amount of 'dimensional power' from his body.
Although it's not as dense as when he ran out of control, it can be seen from his expression that this is the maximum output for his master.
''Tiara! Use the power you just had, like a 'spell'!
Uh-huh!
I brace myself as I'm instructed and watch the power of the thing.
'Twist, bend--!
The Master's 'dimensional power' that was about to fill the room acted to fill his vision.
First, the room distorted languidly, like bending ironwork that had been softened by heat.
It's close to the power of misalignment (...) that Master showed during the runaway, breaking the world's laws (rules) of space and distance.
Unlike the time of the runaway, there was a regularity to the way the room was distorted.
Master had almost mastered the use of the new 'dimensional power' in the short time he had spent in this fania.
The misalignment (...) distorted clockwise with Tida at the center.
In other words, Romis, who is now behind Tida, moves in a curve to the right. On the other hand, Lomis and I, who are now in front of the Tida, curve to the left.
The two positions were forcibly replaced by Master with the power of dimension.
Thus, we crossed the wall of the flaming giants and gained a dominant position in front of the doorway of the room.
In that reasonably controlled (and controlled) escape move, I understood that my master had given up on rescuing the One Who Steals Fire's Reason.
While Romis and Tida were amazed at the 'dimensional power', I pulled my Master's hand and opened the doorway and began my escape.
On the way through the corridor without a sideways glance, several soldiers in the rear of the group stand in their way, but with the help of their physical strength and speed, they brush them off and leave them behind.
On the way up the stairs leading to the ground, Master muttered abominably while protecting the wound in his abdomen.
''Hah, hah, hah ......! d*mn, it's happening again: ......! Also I'm not helping anyone ....... I'm trying to put it all on my sister .......
I was ashamed of myself for running away from this place and trying to bring the problem home in its entirety.
I grasped my mentor's hand tightly and didn't slow down my running to argue with him.
'He said he had no choice this time! Besides, the Hoosiers don't just have a Yotaki sister, they have a Sis sister and all! Next time, we can all fight together! Then sister Yangtaki's burden should be light!
Mi, 'all together'?
'Yes! Now let's get those traitorous bastards on the platform over here and beat them to a pulp!
......
When I persuaded him to do so, the master finally loosened his grim face. He regrets his own weakness, but he looks forward and increases the speed of his drive.
After climbing the long, dark staircase, we emerge to the ground.
To save time, I choose the same route I escaped on yesterday. Then I roughly open the door to enter the central sanatorium.
At the same time, a brilliant light fills my vision.
I involuntarily stopped in my tracks with surprise.
''Wha--?
All of the 'Fire God's Stones' were burning with an uncommon intensity.
That strong light burned our eyes, which were used to the darkness.
''Oh, bright?''
The Master, who entered the room next, was equally surprised, his eyes burned, and he voiced his doubts.
As my eyes became accustomed to the situation in the central sanatorium first, I checked the situation in the central sanatorium.
''Moreover, are you already--are you all awake?
It couldn't have been much time since the night's intrusion yet. And yet, the scene was almost identical to the one I saw yesterday.
All of the patients who should have been asleep were on their knees, their hands clasped together toward the giant statue in the center of the room.
In the light, everyone was muttering words of thanks.
I can feel on my skin that each and every one of these actions is a 'price' to pay.
I knew this intuitively.
Now the patients were 'chanting'.
