[ Episode 360. After that ]
Quaggagak!
The two collided figures retreated with a terrifying clash of metals.
“Huh...”
Sinclair exhaled a long breath and looked at Maximin, who was not disturbed by a single breath.
“How long are you going to relax?”
“spare?”
Maximin tilted his head and asked again.
“I don’t know what you mean.”
“If not using an aura or draw, what is it?”
Sinclair shouted, looking insulted. However, Maximin still only looked at the other person with a calm expression.
“It’s not particularly relaxing, but you can use it if you want.”
“Maximin-!”
The Greatsword flew.
Maximin dodged Sinclair’s thrown sword, but Sinclair, who was running alongside him, was hidden behind the greatsword.
Suung!
Numerous greatswords were stuck on the floor due to Sinclair’s aura rain. Sinclair pulled out one of them and swung it with fierce momentum.
Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The spirit of opening the world shook the heavens and the earth.
However, Maximin held up the betrayal executioner and lightly blocked it as if it had been touched by cotton wool.
Took!
just one step.
Maximin, who was only pushed away, bounced back and stepped back.
“Are you playing with me?”
“No way.”
Maximin’s tone seemed sincere, but Sinclair’s fever rose when he saw that he didn’t use his aura.
“You and I don’t like each other. You must be feeling it.”
“.......”
Sinclair was the owner of supernatural power.
In addition, he was an unmanned man with tremendous stamina.
His Aura Bigi also has the ability to maximize his physical characteristics.
However, all of his abilities were suitable for one-on-one combat.
“Unknown.”
Maximin called Sinclair by his title.
“To put it mildly, he is strong against multiple battles, but weak against one-on-one against strong opponents like me.”
“Shut up.”
Both were spherical.
It was when Maximin caused a terrapin incident while running away with Isabel before he woke up to Biggie.
“You cannot defeat me.”
“Maximin Cronel.......”
Ugh!
With a grinding sound, Sinclair kicked the ground again. The shock alone cracked the ground where he stood, but Maximin lightly sprayed his sword toward such an opponent.
oh oh oh oh ——–!
The aura that was fired violently pushed the approaching Sinclair away. Sinclair raised his greatsword and blocked it with one side, but the explosive power like the first time was greatly reduced.
Even so, he managed to approach Maximin and brandish his sword.
“Use your biggie!”
“If you want that...”
Peruk!
Sinclair fell over from the sudden shock felt in the back of her head.
“There’s nothing I can’t do.”
I knew what was going on inside the castle. However, Maximin was trusting Isabelle and other personnel to deal with Sinclair.
“It was my own courtesy that I did not use Aura Biggi.”
“Keugh.”
Sinclair tried to get up, but a long shadow fell over his neck.
The blue blade touched his neck, exhaling anticipation.
“I didn’t want to win this way.”
Sinclair opened her eyes wide as she saw another Maximin stepping on her body.
“I knew that your aura, Biggi, was an alter ego. I never thought I would have the same power...”
My alter ego didn’t weaken.
That is Maximin’s aura.
Sinclair, who did not know that fact, let out a blank laugh.
“Luna are you okay?”
“what?”
“I thought you were heartbroken that Jerome left.”
At Adrias’s words, Luna slightly turned her gaze to look at the snack, and then quietly put it in her mouth.
“This cookie...is delicious.”
“Luna.”
“I should have brought you more sweets.”
Seeing Luna speak calmly, the people felt more sorry for them and kept silent.
“It’s okay because you said you’d come back.”
“Yes, he said he would definitely come back.”
Shortly after the death of the Blue Knight, Jerome decided to leave Cromwell, saying he wanted to know more about the world. Even though it seemed like it would be a rough journey because of his appearance, no one could stop him because he said that it would be good for him.
“That...is the person called Jerome related to the child you defeated today?”
“......well.”
Adrias was silent at Diene’s question.
“Ha, yes. Rather than that, what are you going to do now?”
“What are you talking about?”
“What is it? Now that you’ve become a tribute to the Empire, are you at peace?”
“Are you worried?”
“what......?!”
When the embarrassed Diene was unable to speak, Lucia laughed and watched from the side.
“I will probably be away for a while.”
“Are you leaving? in this situation?”
“I have something to see.”
These words were incomprehensible to Diene, who did not know that Adrias had many more important things than this war.
“I guess so. He is our senior who is busy with construction.”
“You’re making me sad again.”
Adrias smiled and said to Diene and Lucia.
“You can be here anytime and anywhere. I’ll probably be back soon, so it’s better if you wait.”
“What are you going to do now?”
“Yes, we should go and finish the job as soon as possible.”
What the hell is going on that makes you want to leave right after going through something like this?
It was Diene and Lucia who could not understand at all.
“I want to go too!”
“I will go alone this time. Luna, please play with Diane and Lucia here. Are you my sister?”
“huh!”
Adrias, who persuaded Luna at once, smiled and stroked Luna’s hair. Luna flirted with Adrias, holding her arm with a cookie-stained hand.
“I have to go back to my family.”
“yes.”
“...I will make sure that no matter what happens, I will never attack Cromwell.”
“thank you. I believe you, Diane.”
After finishing his words, Adrias waved his hand and left the room. As he left, a strange silence hung over the room.
“ah!”
“What’s wrong?”
“I didn’t ask. I had a lot to ask.”
“One thing is for sure, Diane.”
“what?”
Lucia washed her hand with the cookies on it and then smiled briskly.
“A senior is never a bad person. Well, there are many things that black magicians hide. At least he’s someone you can trust.”
“That’s what you call someone you can’t trust.”
“Does Diene not trust you?”
“It’s not like that, but...”
Diane, who was speechless, waved her hand.
“Ah, crazy. I will think for myself.”
“all right. Luna, do you want to go to my room?”
“huh? huh!”
Soon after the two of them left, Diene was sprawled on the bed in the really quiet room.
“I don’t know.”
I really don’t know.
She thought so and just closed her eyes.
The identity of Adrias, which he learned belatedly, was too complex, but in the end, only Adrias himself could tell.
It was a night of mixed feelings.
