“《Activate》”

I’m pushed away by King Kalzart, who takes my place, and fall. But even as I’m falling, I manage to activate a scroll.

It’s a 《Restrain》 scroll, with its toughness pushed to the limit.

The scroll pushes upwards from under Gahn’s outstretched arm to stop him from touching the box.

Crunch.

The handles of the scroll break Gahn’s right arm.

So he can be attacked when not in that shadow form! Then…!

“《Restrain》”

The scroll unravels from Gahn’s arm, and goes towards his face.

I’m aiming for his vision and breathing!

But just as the scroll is about to wrap around his face, Gahn’s face collapses into what looks like a liquid.

He’s turning just his head into a shadow, and he manages to evade the scroll.

Gahn then uses this opportunity to go for the box with his left hand, and I don’t have time to send the scroll back!

I’m panicking, but then I feel wind blow past me.

It’s Roa.

She uses her transmuted beast spear to pierce Gahn’s left hand, almost like it’s payback for what he did to Ahri.

The tip of the spear is still stuck on Gahn’s hand, but then it stretches and changes direction, going for his body.

But Gahn isn’t stopping it, or even turning his body into shadow.

He instead takes a step forward, and Roa’s spear pierces his heart.

Eh… Ah! This is bad…

He takes another step forward, not caring that Roa’s spear is piercing deeper and deeper.

His face that was transformed into shadow goes back to normal, and the box is hovering right in front of it.

Gahn’s head is clad in purifying light, and he pulls it back to headbutt the box.

“《Activate》《Activate》《Activate》《Restrain》!”

I send the Restrain scroll that’s already active to bind Gahn, although it’s too late.

The box disappears, and the points inside it flow into Gahn.

Gahn spits blood from a gap in the Restrain scroll.

“Gufuh… Ahh… Ahh… Objective, complete. I couldn’t, hit the one who controls a dragon, but the old blood, was hit. And, the points. I got them, lord, Zwei.”

His voice sounds different from the Gahn I remember. I’m guessing the reincarnated people’s bodies really do have someone else inside them.

Gahn’s body seems to be struggling, as it envelops itself in purifying light and gradually disappears.

Kuh! Isn’t there anything I can do!? Ah, King Kalzart.

I think just as Princess Lily screams with sorrow.

“Father! Ah, ah! Your body! Father!”

Princess Lily is bawling like a child as she clings to her father’s body.

King Kalzart is also covered in purifying light, and his body is slowly disappearing.

I run to him as I take out a potion and open it, before turning in upside down and swinging my arm to scatter it all over his body.

But just before the potion touches his body, King Kalzart disappears completely.

The potion drips on the ground.

A silence falls into the room, broken only by the sound of Princess Lily sobbing.
