264 264. 74. If the night is long, the dream is deep (2) (1/2)

Sigrun raises his hand with less trembling.

A dark stain appeared on the skin and back of the hand, which appeared to have applied honey.

Then the whole back of his hand was covered with a dark blue stain.

It wasn't just the back of the hand.

The skin revealed between her forehead and her forehead, she erects a clan of barbed caribou.

In the midst of the upheaval, a sword blade that did not bury a piece of dust illuminated the owner without distortion.

My skin was dull, and my eyebrows were dull.

It could no longer be what people would call a desirable fairy.

It was just something ugly and hateful.

But what was really horrible was not the look that had changed.

Sigrun grabs the air.

A void with nothing, but visible in Sigrun's eyes.

The millennial ball that collapsed like a sandcastle, the karma that scattered like a grain of sand, and the raging debris were so vivid.

I collapsed.

The sense of loss and deprivation that I felt for the first time in my life filled her empty body.

She soon found out that she was in such a terrible mood.

Ever since today, I've learned that I won't be able to do gumbo anymore.

And intuitive.

Tell the clan that there is no more future.

Sigrun laughed.

At first, she raised her head, then she burst into tears, then she hiccupped like she was breathing, and she laughed like a madman.

Then, after a while, he laughed.

“Not that day, not today. You always surprise me. ”

It wasn't a false accusation, nor a mockery.

She was genuinely surprised.

I didn't even imagine that a young prince of the forgetful Leonberger family would pull out the real power of the dragon slayer. I couldn't even imagine finding an older power that she didn't even know would make her this difficult.

Sigrun opens her blackened eyes and looks at the human in front of her.

“Thanks to you, I have lost the greatest of my powers. The turbulence was corrupted, and the sword could not be used. His abilities have also fallen considerably. At least three? Maybe the more things I lose over time. ”

Dry as sand in the desert.

“But that, like you, would have paid for it if it had been an unauthorized force. And it's only life that you can pay for now. Those who gained momentary power in exchange for life, how long will that take? Now, even at this moment, the time given to you will continue to diminish.”

He didn't answer. I just stared at her unspoken in the helm.

Sigrun wanted to take off his helmet right away if he could.

It was unfortunate that the act of drawing out power in exchange for life itself entailed the pain of dispersion of souls, and that he could not see his face, which was distorted by pain.

However, she continued to speak, repressing her twisted desire to take off her helmet immediately.

“Maybe it's been a while. Once before, you brought out the power of the sword as collateral for your life. Whatever this fight is, it's probably something I'm telling you. ”

She looked at him slippery.

“You can't avoid death. ”

He remained silent.

It was probably just a headache to endure the pain of being scattered, and I didn't want to open my mouth to shorten my life.

Either way, I didn't want to care as a sigrun.

If there was anything important to her,

“I'm glad. That's what I did with that one. ”

It was only the fact that the man before my eyes risked my life and my soul to fight against him.

That made her unbearable.

“I can't repay you for that. ”

It was not a good thing to get out of here if you only had a heart.

But she had no intention of making his life so wasteful.

“Before the rest of your life goes out completely. ”

With her sword blade, the radiant energy begins to flow.

“It's my reward to turn it off by my own hand. ”

And the battle began.

* *

The earth is split at once, and the sky is torn apart.

A fight in a realm that you could not even imagine as a human.

The waves and shocks conveyed from afar shake the fort as if it were about to collapse.

Not much can be done in the face of such a terrible battle.

Get down flat, wrap your head around your head, shaking, denying reality.

But there were those who did not belong to either side.

“Wake up! ”

“Come on, get up! ”

Men who shout aloud and force the completely frightened soldiers to attack.

“Weakened Southern bastards! ”

“I'm stuck in a fortress and I want to die! ”

They were Rangers of Winter Castle.

They run around the fort in an unscrupulous body, pulling the frightened soldiers out of the fort.

“The fortress is about to fall! ”

The knights also shouted Mana unrelentingly and evacuated the soldiers who had been hiding in the depths of the fort.

“Take the injured first! ”

At the heart of it was the winter solstice, Vincent Ballerhard.

“Taking the remains and supplies of the warriors is the last thing! ”

He stands on a wall that shakes like it's going to collapse right now and commands the evacuation of the soldiers.

“Lord, we must withdraw! ”

“We have a lot of troops that haven't evacuated yet! Your Majesty's troops were willing to take the risk! I can't let them die in vain! ”

“But...! ”

“I don't say it twice! Let's go and evacuate the soldiers! ”

Vincent brushed his knights roughly without hesitation.

“Come on!”

“Yes, Lord! ”

Vincent turns his head and looks beyond the plain as he sees them disappear into the fortress.

Bang! Bang!

The golden and sparkling flashes bloom and fade.

And when the light was shattered, the shattered hordes of light overflew the fortress.

Curr.

Above the shaking walls, Vincent's gaze on the plain was depressed before.

“Just like that damn day. ”

The day the Winter Castle collapsed, the day my father never came back.

The crowded dark green waves, burning castles, and desperately fleeing soldiers overlap over the fort.
