185 Episode 78: Rainbow on the Ethereal Dome of Dawn (4) (1/2)

――――――

The voice was so clear that it resonated with the world as if it were the tone of an instrument.

The dragon that Lilana has turned is raising her voice as she sings to heaven. I was blinded by the sight that could even be described as mysterious, but I regain my mind and take my stand.

Although it is certainly beautiful, that is something that should not be in this world. Not if you're in love, so I tried to move on to the attack... my body was pulled somehow.

”That? duh, duh!?”

The power with which the body is pulled is strong, and the body approaches the dragon. It's like gravity. The dragon just sits on the spot and keeps sounding his voice.

When I'm stuck in the universe, I start blurring like the woods have been pulled. It was the birds who showed themselves first. Flying birds in unison gather to dragons as if they were attracted.

And the body of the bird sank and disappeared into the body of the plump dragon.

”Nah...!?”

I kick ass that the bird has been taken in, from the animals living in the woods to the demons, all of which float in the universe and stick to the body of the dragon, taking in more and more.

Ryu - Lilana keeps singing. A pleasant tone, a voice that disappears like a shrivel of war. He spreads his wings so as to speak gently and spread his hands.

Those taken in by Lylana drown in Lylana one after another in comfort. Seeing that, I ran a zoo chill on my spine.

”I'm really willing to swallow the world......!

I fly to distance myself from Lilana, take enough distance, and then wrap my magic blade around Celestial. I took a breath and skipped the slaughter of my full magic blade.

However, as I approached Lylana, I lost momentum and misted Lylana's body.

”... you're kidding”

If you want to get close and touch it, you'll be taken in. Even if you get far enough, if you attack, you will be inhibited. Lilana just gently floats in the universe and keeps sounding her voice.

Is that voice also hypnotic, being sucked into Lilana so that one animal and demon after another is guided? Each time it seems that the range of attraction of gravity is widening. It's like a black hole.

”What do we do...? What, wahoo!?”

Flying as he weighed in time, a demon clashed drawn to Lilana from behind. Fortunately, I was never attacked because the demons were unconscious due to Lylana's voice, but I lost my posture.

”First......!

I lose my posture, my flight becomes unstable, and I get caught by gravity. A light appeared at the edge of my sight as I managed to magic my way out of gravity again.

”- Anisu!”

”- Yufi!?”

That was Ufi wrapped around Wang Tianyi. Uffi was about to be pulled by gravity. Take my hand and fly away from the spot. I was able to regain my flight posture by having Yufi pull my hand back, and I had to face Yufi in the air, where I couldn't pull any gravity.

Yuffi looked at my face and then loosened his anxiety-filled expression to relief before holding me tight. I stroke my back to calm down Uffi like that before asking.

”Ufi, why are you here...”

”I'm worried about you... more than that, Anis, what the hell are you...? Is Lilana...?

Let go of the arms that were holding me and fly slowly swirling around Lilana holding hands with each other.

I will explain to Uffi the end of Lylana and how Lylana made the dragon. Meanwhile, Uffi stared at my side all the time holding my hand.

”So Lilana said she dedicated herself and turned into that dragon...?

”... yeah. The mechanism itself is the same as a spiritual covenant. But that's no more selfless, it's just magic to serve a purpose, it's a demon.”

”... Yes”

Yufi's gaze is directed towards Lilana. I couldn't tell what the emotions in the back of those eyes were.

”... If it's a spiritual manifestation of Uffi, maybe not”

”Yes. My compatibility with Lilana is deadly awful. Perhaps whatever destructive power you gain from my spiritual manifestation will end pointlessly.”

”... So you don't have the means to defeat Lylana?

Such an idiot. No, I thought it was thin, but that's no good. At any rate, Lilana must be stopped. Otherwise the world could really end.

So we have to find a way to make Lilana disappear here and now. But I can only think of about the spiritual covenant of Uffi as the means by which I can manage to have that great presence.

Even my full slaughter has been sucked in, so honestly I have no prospect. Some means, he said, roaring, as Yuffi held my hand.

”... one thing, you may have hands”

”True!?”

”Just until I'm successful or not...”

”What's the means?

”-Annis is going to do the spiritual manifestation.”

”... Yes?

Yufi, what are you talking about all of a sudden? I do spiritual manifestations...?

”Mm, I can't! It's impossible for me to have a spiritual contract, and it's not like I can use magic to manifest spirits!

”Yes, I can't do it by normal means. But there's a precedent called Lylana.”

”... demonic manifestation? To me? So, but I can't use magic, and they say I'm a rare person whose spirits aren't mixed with my soul? I can't believe this willful magic is happening...

”Even if there is no will of the Spirit, there is another will that resides in your demonic stone, right?

I closed my lips when Yufi told me to look straight at me.

The presence of my demon stone, the demon stone created in my heart, is clearly felt. Will there.... That may be true, though.

”... tell me to manifest the dragon...?

”Yes, knit it it in the form of magic and hit Lilana”

”That's theoretically possible, even if you suddenly tell me to do something like...!

”So you're leaving Lilana like this?

”It's...! I can't, but...!

Me hesitating to talk too absurdly. Uffi squeezes my hand so hard, he packs the distance so he can peek into his face.

- Believe me.

”......”

”Always Anis believed me. That's why I was able to come here until today. So, too, Anis... trust me in you.”

”... Ufi”

”You want to stop, don't you? You really wanted to save me, didn't you? You're the one who can't abandon someone who's hurt...”

”... why is Yuffi crying?”

Uffi stares at me with a grain of pompous tears. Yufi cried all the time today and accidentally said it that way.

Uffi reached out the other hand and put his hand on my cheek. They come as they fold their cheeks together.

”Isn't it because you're not crying? I told you that, didn't I? I would cry if I were in front of you. When I want to cry, when you can't...”

”... Ufi”

”Cry with me. I cry with you, too. Because I want to put my heart through it with you as many times as I can. So... trust me. I will support you in what you want to accomplish.”

Uffi's words make me hot in the back of my eyes, and I only nibble one tear. Lean yourself together so that you rub your cheeks against each other, then let go of your cheeks.

Breathe deeply and face Uffi again. Yufi took my gaze by wiping her own tears with her fingers.

”... support me, Uffi. I want the power to stop her.”
