144 - - 145. Kaias Breaks the Darkness of the Princess

At the same time, Anti-Anti and his Imperial Academy were steadily gaining points.

At the same time, a deformed Historia came to the royal team led by the reincarnated hero Julius.

>

A monster with countless tentacles sprouting from its body.

Gaius, Sakura, and Elise are the opponents.

Julius has gone with Michael to get the treasure.

The three of them are defending the base, so they must deal with it.

"You two, I'll deal with that thing."

Gaius stands at a distance from the base with his Warriors' Sword in his hand.

"Historia ......"

He calls out the name of his former lover.

>

The flames of his hatred spread to his tentacles, which were black with fire.

"But, Master Gaius!　Please be careful!"

At the base is Dantalion, the leader, who has lost his demon powers.

"His tentacles are shapeshifting!　It even has the power of destruction!"

"...... so. But I'll be fine."

Gaius holds up his Warriors Sword.

"I will protect you all. Because ...... I'm the captain."

>

Tentacles rain down on Gaius.

In a moment, a tremendous number of tentacles reach out toward Gaius.

Gaius sees through them all with his eyes.

He dodges through the barrage, which is said to have not a single gap, with a light step.

"Is that all?"

>

The tentacles merge into a super-dense fist.

A powerful blow to Gaius.

But he thrusts his ice sword forward, and stabs it into one of the points of his fist.

"Musou Ken-Gi [Ice Flower]."

Pyin ......!　And his arms shatter into pieces like flower petals.

"That was amazing! Freezing them at absolute zero and then crushing them: ......"

>

He avoids Gaius with his tentacles and tries to aim directly at the base.

But he disappears in an instant and knocks them all away.

<>

Each tentacle is moved separately, and they come storming in.

But Gaius cuts them all down with his two-handed sword.

His eyes saw everything.

The trajectory of the attack, the flicker of emotion, the next attack.

>

He must have realized that he could not win head-on.

He tries to shake Gaius with a mental attack by whispering demons.

>

"Idiot. You got what you deserved."

Behind Gaius, Sakura says with disgust in her voice.

"Gaius, you know, he trains hard every day to be on par with his brother. I don't put him on the same level as someone like you who's just rotting and doing nothing.

You're just a punk!　Don't get carried away! >>

"Isn't it too soon to say so?"

Para ...... and Sakura take out countless signs from their pockets.

When they are scattered, demons of the Night of One Hundred Demons are summoned from them.

"Devour them all!"

The demons stop the tentacles from moving.

>

Cutting off the tentacles, Historian tries to run into the base.

However, she is blown away by the wards that have been placed around her.

<>

"I'm ...... going to protect the treasure you all brought!"

Elise's wards withstood the attack of Historia, who had gathered a large number of demons.

She is putting up a holy ward that combines sacred magic and warding techniques.

>

The feeling of hatred increases the demon's power of speech and action.

"Elise, Sakura. Elise, Sakura... I'll finish it."

Yes, sir!

Elise thrusts her wand forward and says.

"[Holy Cross Spear (Grand Cross)]!"

A holy cross-shaped spear, which dispels demons, appears and pierces through Historia's body.

Sakura hurls numerous symbols, which stick to her tentacles and attach themselves to the ground.

"But, Gaius-sama!　Wait for me!"

Dantalion pulls Gaius' hand.

"Just his life!　Please save his life!　He's not a bad kid!"

...... She seems to care about her teammate, Historia, despite the fact that Historia tried to kill her.

"I know. I won't kill you."

Gaius smiles gently and goes to the motionless Historia.

>

Gaius closes his eyes and takes a small deep breath.

"I'm sorry, Historia ....... I have to confess that I didn't think about you until now.

His body releases a gentle magic.

It mingles with the fighting spirit at a very high level.

"But you were my lover, even if only once. I'm ...... sorry that I forgot you and left you alone to be happy.

Gaius stands in front of Historia.

"So now I will save you."

He raises both swords above his head.

"[Deployment of the spiritual armament]"

Gaius and Saber, the god of swords, become one.

He is dressed in pure white and holds a sword in his hand.

...... It is the holy sword that Eugene the Brave is said to have used in the past.

It is a replica of the Holy Sword of the Brave Eugene.

"Amazing ...... that you have materialized the lost Holy Sword of the Brave!

Dantalion rolls his eyes as he witnesses the miracle.

Gaius has created a sword that has disappeared from the world with Eugene's death.

"It's a replica, and it won't last long. ...... Historia, with this, I will purge you of your evil."

<<>

Historia opens her mouth, and a flood of tentacles rushes out of it.

But the new hero, with his imitation holy sword in his hand, swings it silently.

"Seyaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

The glowing blade rips apart the evil that it spits out.

The blade cuts through the demonic power that was trapped inside of Historia.

The blade cuts apart the demonic force and Historia's body.

With a gulp......, Gaius pulls it out, and a naked Historia appears.

>

Only the black armor remains.

"Historia!"

Dantalion leaves the base and embraces his teammate, Historia.

>

The black armor, the crystallization of the devil's power, speaks as if it has a will of its own.

<>

The mud ...... turns into black mud and disappears into the ground.

Gaius removes his spiritual armor and wobbles on the spot.

"Good work. You did your best even though Julius is not here.

Supporting her back were Sakura and Elise.

"Thank you, both of you."

And then it was time.
