Chapter 03

TL-Mechatronic

She was numb. A dizzying feeling of falling, or soaring into the sky, flew through her limbs.

He was the first person in three years to sympathize with her feelings. He looked into how she felt after killing even her family with her own hands. He recognized the misery she was feeling.

Echinacea was thrilled.

“Do you understand me? That’s right, I didn’t want to do this. I, really……!!

The body, which was stolen by the demon sword, immediately sympathized with her intense feelings

The resistance stopped. Tears welled up, and one lonely drop flowed down.

His eyes looking down at her, grew bigger. Eki thought his blue eyes were dazzling. Every move he made was seen in detail. His lips move slowly.

“Tears.”

“Leader?”

“She’s crying.”

“….Who? No way.”

“That can’t be true.”

“You said that if the person is eaten by the demon sword, there will be no ego left. Leader, that’s just an empty body wielded by a demonic sword.”

The knights refuted one after another, but Yurien shook his head.

“She remains. They’re fighting.”

“Fighting? With what?”

“The Demon sword and her will.”

It was as he said. Echinacea fought endlessly with the black stains that were encroaching on her body. She had never won, but she continued to fight. She hasn’t given up yet. Otherwise, she would have lost her ego earlier.

No one may know that she was trying to stop the sword and regain control of her body from it, but her consciousness was holding out like that.

The fighting was noticed for the first time, by the man who blocked her.

It was a feeling difficult to express in words.

Eki wanted to burst into tears. She wanted to hang on to someone and cry. It was painful, it was a terrible time, she was sorry to everyone, but the truth was that she didn’t want to die like a demon. ‘Please anyone help me!’ She wanted to pour out those words.

But that single drop of tear was the end. Soon, Echinacea’s body began to struggle with dry eyes. She showed her teeth like a beast and growled. The red haired knight kicked his tongue.

“This doesn’t feel right. Let’s finish it quickly and go

back.”

“It doesn’t matter if you say she still has a conscience of self. Because things we have to do don’t change.”

The blonde female knight urged. Still, Yurien did not move. He peered through the eyes of Echinacea who was struggling around and said.

“I can’t do that”.

“What?”

“I think there’s a possibility.”

“What are you talking about…oh, leader. Hold on. Right now…….”

As if embarrassed, the red hair stuttered. A large knight, who immediately understood what he meant, said honestly.

“Captain. It is impossible to defeat the Demon Sword.”

“No, there’s a precedent.”

“You are not talking about a magic swordsman who one can’t tell if it’s a legend or a true story, are you?”

“Commander, even if that’s possible, the body possessed by the demon sword has already done something irreversible. You know how many territories have reached the level of destruction in her hands.”

“Is it just about territories in the empire, the knights that had to join forces to form a squad of subjugation with the city guards and all the magicians on the upper part of the Tower, died, not a single soul left to tell the tale. Some royals and nobles also died, right? This is the death penalty no matter the end result.”

As the knights took turns speaking, Yurien, who had been silently listening, responded.

“The increase in damage is partly due to our late arrival.”

“Are we late because we wanted to be late? It’s come to this point after the Imperial bastards insisted that they could do it!”

The red-haired knight protested. Yurien did not respond and removed the sword that weighed down on Echinacea’s neck and swung it before she could react.

The pommel at the end of the hilt accumulated mana and hit her solar plexus. Her body, which was already injured and was hit in a vital point, fainted as it was. She listened to their conversation with a blurred consciousness.

“You cannot condemn an unintended crime.”

“This is crazy. Hey Yul, I usually respect such Knights, but I don’t think this is right.”

“Leader, what are you going to do?”

“That woman….”

“Why…”

“Too much…punishment…”

While other words were blurred, his voice remained clearly in my mind.

“I’ll give her a chance.”

It was a ray of light that came down like a miracle,

It would have been nice to be able to separate the demon sword by cutting off the arm that was holding it, but that was impossible. The Magic Sword Verdergiosa was a sword that was engraved on the soul like other swords of the Giosa series.

Echinacea was imprisoned in the dungeon of the Celestial Knights headquarters in the city of Azenka, Just in case, a specially made seal was applied and a chain was attached to her limbs.

The Empire wanted to execute the demon of the Demon Sword, but Yurien rejected that opinion. The past remarks of the empire, which insisted that they could handle the demon by themselves, caused a lot of damage and thanks to their powerless state of affairs, they eventually opened their hands to the Celestial Knights.

Eki didn’t want to miss the opportunity Yurien gave her. She focused only on the fight to reclaim her body from the demon sword.

The sensation of killing people was so intense that it was difficult to escape from it when the demon sword massacred. Now was the right time for her, since the body was unable to slaughter

The unconscious was beneath her feet, and the void above her head. Standing on top of her unconscious sleep, she fought herself who was blackened by the mana of the demon sword.

She didn’t know how much time was passing. She had suffered hundreds of defeats, and many times she almost fell into the subconscious under the surface. Still, she kept fighting.

She didn’t know it would be possible for her to try this hard. She knew herself well, because she was lazy, liked to sleep, and hated to move her body.

But now she knows. The essence of oneself that came to be known while being driven to the limit. She doesn’t give up. She couldn’t give up. She didn’t want to lose to that demon sword who ruined everything in her life.

The moment she felt so exhausted that she wanted to quit, she imagined after winning.

I’m going to break the bloody magic sword and take a bath. After that, I will get a good night’s sleep that never dreamed of. When I wake up, I want to comb my hair, wear new clothes, eat warm soup and soft bread. And then…

…… To Yurien, let’s confess everything that happened. If he gave me a chance, wouldn’t he tell me what to do next?’

Strictly speaking, all of Echinacea’s slaughter was not hers, but the demon sword’s, but Eki couldn’t draw a line that all the things that happened had nothing to do with her. After all, it was her hands that were wet with blood.

Inside the dungeon, her body growled, screamed incomprehensible words, scraped walls or floors to get the blood flowing, and wriggled like crazy. But it couldn’t kill anyone anymore, and her spirit fought endlessly.

Between those days, Yurien occasionally visited the dungeon.

“Is it still there?”

“Yes.”

He would look into her from a distance through a small window above the iron door.

Human access was prohibited near Echinacea. The magical sword Verdergiosa is a slaughter sword, and instinctively tries to kill humans. If a person approached nearby, it might stimulate the magic sword. So the guard who brought food and water took the method of leaving the bowl inside the middle of the double door and leaving.

Yurien always stood alone in the narrow space, between the gates and watched Echinacea through the iron gates. He never spoke to her.

Just watching with calm blue eyes.

All he could see was a blackened, chained, beastly woman in his eyes, but each time Eki felt he was looking at her. He seemed to be looking at her own soul fighting the demon sword, not her stained body,

“No way.

It was nonsense. Despite such denial, whenever Yurien came, she thought the same thing.

She was happy when he came. He was waiting for her victory. He watched over her, believing that she would overcome the magic sword. Eki wanted to prove that the choice he made believing in her was right.

‘When I get my body back, I will meet him…’

There were many things she wanted to say when she met him. There were infinite things. She collected the words one by one inside her, and those words gave her strength.

I wanted to win. I wanted to greet him, who came to watch her as usual, with a smile not tainted by the magic sword. I dreamed of such a miracle.

But no miracle was performed

In a way, things were bad. But the results were so devastating that she couldn’t turn a blind eye to them, dismissing it as just bad luck.

The guard suddenly opened the double door and came inside. He must have come to check if Echinacea’s body, that had been lying motionless for three days, was dead.

It was the work of the magic sword. As soon as the guard approached her arm, Echinacea strangled the guard with a chain that was hanging down. The jailer died in the blink of an eye

‘No, stop, stop! Please!’

Her screams were meaningless. Because of the powerful seal, her body could not use the main form of the demon sword. So she broke the chains with the sword on the jailer’s waist. I heard that an extremely trained knight could cut metal without mana, but never thought I’d be able to do it myself.

Echinacea rummaged through the guard’s arms, took out his key, opened the double door and went out. She killed all those guarding the prison and found the key to the sealing sphere. The moment the seal that suppressed the sword’s mana was released, Eki felt a catastrophe happening.

If Yurien had only one more Giosa owner there to help him, he would have been able to stop her.

However, Yurien had been away from Azenka for a while, and the only Giosa owner left in Azenka was the Vice – Commander. He was a man named Baron, who was the largest among the knights who came to subdue her.

Echinacea went crazy. Baron blocked her while evacuating the others until his last breath, and at the end, he was decapitated.

When the interfering man died, she killed every living thing on Azenka. She then waited for the other Giosa owners, whom she perceived as a ‘dangerous enemy.

A few days later, Theresa with blonde hair and Dietrich with red hair returned together from their mission. They encountered Echinacea in the redstained Azenka. Dietrich struggled to protect Theresa, but was saved by her. “Someone has to go and tell the Commander.”

“If Theresa goes… … !”

“If you stay, you can’t last even five minutes, so shut up and go!”

Theresa said so and sent him away. Echinacea missed Dietrich when she was caught by Theresa, who had done her best.

She killed Theresa first, and then chased and killed Dietrich, who was fleeing on the mountain all night long.

It was a terrible time. For them and for her.

Finally, Yurien came.

He saw his home, where bodies piled up, rotting. The stench spread everywhere. Echinacea greeted him in front of the mountain of corpses. The fountain behind her back was dyed red.

Yurien turned white, then bit his lips hard enough to bleed, and became as cold as ice. The blue eyes looking at her, seemed to have cracked.

Note: it wasn’t clear, but Giosa Owners are called Protectors of the Giosa Temple. And all of them have Swords of the Giosa series. So they are all level master and above. Baron, Theresa and Dietrich all have Giosa Swords, but what kind of sword is still to be seen.
