28 28 Tales: The End of the Avenger Ghost

It's as if it's unrealistic.

Elisia ran down the alley in a heartbeat, nauseated.

- Too Eight lost.

Seeing Too Eight fall with a ton of blood, Elisia thought, "I don't believe it".

Elysia, who had been waving her sword since childhood, was confident in her own strength. But still, I didn't think he was any match for Tuate. Anyway, Too Eight tried to lightly disable herself on the entrance exam. I totally thought Tuate was in one dimension above himself.

The Too Eight lost.

A man who's strong, doesn't know where to get good at, and then strangely depends on him. That too-eight - now I'm lightly defeated.

- No.

I didn't just lose.

With all those wounds, you can't just have to "defeat".

I have to admit.

I'm sure Tuate won't help herself anymore.

From behind me, who keeps running, there's no way Tuate will catch up.

Tuate is......

Tweets, death...

"Go where?

From the front of Elysia running and running, I heard voices.

In front of me, a man wearing a black coat gets stuck.

- The second raider.

Another raider showed up.

Surprisingly, Elysia stops.

In the meantime, he also caught up with the first raider who stabbed Too Eight earlier.

"You were late."

The first raider tells the second raider across Elisia.

"Oh. We had a disturbing pair on the way, so we took a little trouble"

That said, a second raider puts his hand forward that was turning his back.

Make a noise.

Two things, like large spheres, rolled at Elisia's feet.

It was - a human being's neck.

One belongs to the girl.

The other belongs to the boy.

"Woman. Do these two look familiar?

Says the Raider.

The head looked familiar to Elisia.

Gran and Mize.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?

"Do you still know him? Hmm, he was a troublesome hungry man. You're not very strong, but you're very prestigious."

To Elicia squatting with her head down, the raider says in a pale tone.

"Why, why... oh, you're after me, aren't you? But how could you do such a terrible thing..."

In tears, Elisia asked.

"Hey. No way. Now, why did you ask (...)?

A raider man reveals his frustration and says:

The man pounded his tongue violently, opening left and right around the chest of his coat.

What was inside the coat was familiar armor.

"Zhenghong, Knights..."

"That's right. We are the Knights of Phosphorus."

Says the man.

"Now it is we who are knights... but were once orphans picked up by Master Roberto"

To that one word, Elisia opened her eyes.

But if you think calmly, it's not surprising. Unlike the Kingsguard Knights, the Zhenghong Knights, who have a strong meritocracy trend, use it heavily in any capacity as long as they have strength.

"Eight years ago now. It was just the beginning of the war. By demons, we were saved lives by the Knights of Zhenghong, who took our families and our homeland. At that time, it was Master Roberto who was directing the Knights. We joined the Knights with training in order to repay Master Roberto."

The man keeps talking in an angry voice.

"We're still the lower end of the regiment. I'm not even in the other exercise. Therefore, I was about to return the favor to Master Roberto with steady merit.... but Master Roberto died before we could return the favor. By your hand."

Increase your willingness to kill, says the man.

"Do you understand? - My intestines are boiling back. We don't want any brutal hands to kill you right now."

Head hidden in jacket.

In the dark darkness, there were hateful eyes.

"Ah, ah..."

Same.

At the same time as understanding the man, Elisia shook her body in fear.

- Just like me.

The man in front of me was just like Elysia a while ago.

Driven by hatred, drunk by vengeance, filled with a vessel called Himself.

All I can think about is killing hateful enemies.

For that, I don't hate any outrage.

"Huh!?

Elysia ran out reflexively.

"Shit."

A man's tongue strike further accelerates Elisia's escape leg.

But Elisia's body, stained with fear, was heavy as lead. I'm supposed to have my eyes open, but I can't see the view. I felt like I was wandering through endless darkness.

"Ahhh!?

On the edge of the ground, Elisia falls.

To Elysia, who rubbed off her face violently, the man caught up and called out.

"Why, run away"

To the man's inquiry, Elisia's head turns white.

"I would have known as much as this would happen. You were prepared to abandon your future, and you killed Roberto. Then why are you trying to escape now?"

The man was right.

I killed Roberto with the intention of abandoning my future.

How can that be, now I'm trying to escape death?

"Have you wasted your life?"

"-"

The moment I heard the word, my powers fell out of Elisia's body.

It was a picture star.

I understood that was what I meant.

After you finish your revenge.

Alicia, who survived, had a long conversation with Tuate, Gran, and Mize in the face.

As she watched them smile, Elisia began to see the future again. - I am.

Today. For only a moment, Elysia had hope for the future.

For example, a future where you sign up for the Adventurer Guild and aspire to be a first-rate adventurer with Mize. I might be traveling around the world in the process. Might make a roundabout with a new buddy. By the time I was in sophomore year, I might have more friends at school, singing about my school life with ease.

All the time, there's nothing panning about it, maybe we can live a free life.

I saw such a future - I saw it.

"After you killed Roberto, you should have lost your own life. But you didn't. As a result of a mean attempt to pick up the future you should have abandoned once... three human beings have died caught in your fate"

"Ahhh..."

"This is your revenge. Don't think a man who has fulfilled his wish in exchange for the future can reclaim the future without any risk. He wants to live… If you want a future, you should have figured out a way not to abandon it from the start"

Everything, the man was right.

It's my fault that Tuate is dead, and Gran and Mize are dead.

It was the result of abandoning the future and acting without thinking later.

Elysia picked up a future that would have been abandoned, so the wrinkles went to the Tuites.

I was ecstatic when I killed Roberto.

But now I can't remember the emotions at that time at all.

What remained in Elicia's chest after one night was a tasteless, odorless void.

Reminds me of what Tuate was saying.

Revenge is an act to reclaim what you have lost, never to gain something new.

I certainly didn't get anything. This sense of nothingness is proof.

It didn't work out for me.

Have I let three friends die in order to feel such a void...

"If this is the case..."

When I saw the blade the man poked at me, my powers fell out of Elicia's entire body.

I have no more strength to resist.

Elisia holds her head and makes a squeezed out voice.

"There's no vengeance... you shouldn't have..."

"- All right. Don't forget that word."

To the man's words, Elisia opened her eyes.

I don't know what words mean. But before that - my voice sounded familiar.

A man removes his coat.

The moment she saw her hidden face, Elisia was stunned.

"Too, Eight........................?

A man who was stabbed in the stomach and was supposed to be spitting blood.

For some reason, he stood there in plain sight.
