Chapter 542 Branches and Responsibilities

000

In the darkness that engulfed him, Cleon showed no will to resist.

No, maybe he was hoping it would be like this.

May the Pandora inside Lilim appear directly in front of him.

In Cain’s memories we saw earlier, Lilim had dark magic, but it wasn’t that powerful.

In any case, the amount of magic power equal to that of a normal dark horse clan.

When she met her again after Cain’s memory was over, no matter how demonized she was, she was dealing with extra-standard powers.

The cause was none other than this demonic sword, ‘Pandora’, because Cleon thought.

Soon, when Pandora’s darkness dyed the surroundings, Cleon entered the barrier of her small realm.

Now he is bare-handed and unarmed.

In front of him, Pandora, who has a body part melting like mud, crawls on the ground and approaches Cleon.

“Ka, in… Hold me. Once again… You and I… Can devour the world…”

Hoping for a ‘magic swordsman’ to catch her, she begs a young man who resembles her lover, family, and colleague her.

“…I’m sorry, but I’m not Cain.”

However, Cleon pushes her like that to the point where she can be considered a bit heartless.

“Why…”

She voices her despair at Cleon, who rejects her.

Cleon looks down at her and tells her calmly.

“I cut off all connections with Cain and all previous lives that were inside of me.”

It is a choice to believe in the light within you and escape from your own destiny.

He had no regrets about that choice.

Like her-except for those who have to share her own destiny with someone from her former life-her to be abandoned.

“So, then… Cain is no more? Nowhere in this world…”

“…Okay.”

As soon as Cleon’s words fell heavy, her molten body her bubbled up.

And the explosion of black magic that is terrifyingly expanding.

This phenomenon has been felt before.

‘Rampage of swords…’

In the decisive battle against Alvein in Elesia, the Caliburn runaway caused by the defeated Alvein.

The haewooi created by the holy sword to protect itself or its user, to free itself from the limitations of its magical power and to aim for mutual destruction with the other party.

The fact that she, the demonic sword, is causing it means that her feelings for her for Cain, and everything, must come from the truth.

Although partly intentional, Cleon felt his legs being pushed away by the endless torrent of magic gushing from her body.

What Cleon wanted was for Pandora to separate completely from Lilim’s body of hers.

It would have been true that Lilim had imprisoned her Pandora in her own body her, allowing her to use her powers her-

The demonic sword, even if it was her original owner of her, had power so strong that she could erode the spirit.

She may have thought that Lilim, who was not her original owner her, was controlling her by absorbing her her Pandora her, but in reality, it was highly likely that her will her was controlled to some extent by her her Pandora her.

Cleon didn’t quite know where it was going.

At least, if she does n’t let her her Pandora her fall away from her her, Lilim will continue to act like she’s standing on a dangerous and dangerous blade under the influence of her her Pandora’s will her.

And- this was for Pandora too.

No more Cain.

Cain’s memory, soul, and experience were shattered by Cleon’s hand his and disappeared.

So, Pandora’s wish will never come true.

Then he wanted to at least make her comfortable with his own hands her.

Because she thought it was her own responsibility her for taking away her her wish her.

For her sake her, she brought her out her, told her the truth, and let her run wild.

The runaway of the sword also reveals the vital point of the sword.

Thinking so, what Cleon saw in the flow of turbid black magic power was a slow-moving human upper body that seemed to rise from the ground.

The torso of the giant Pandora.

Starting with the collapsed face and the ugly eyes of her, he was trying to squeeze Cleon’s body her little by little.

Meanwhile, the glow of magical power shining red was visible from the part of her heart.

The core of the sword.

The part that can be said to be the heart of a sword that exists regardless of the magic sword and holy sword is the part that has a physical substance and has magical properties.

All magic swords and holy swords are formed around that core, and all the information the sword has in it-

A combination of ability, appearance, personality and magic nerve.

And soul.

The runaway swords could not withstand the force of the magical power emanating from the core, and as the surroundings began to melt, they exposed vital points to the enemy.

Of course, the enemies will also realize this and try to attack that part intensively, but they can’t stand the power of the runaway swords and fall to their knees.

In the past, numerous beings called demon lords were defeated by the heroes who came to defeat them like that.

Thinking that far, Cleon laughed in vain.

There is no doubt that the demonic sword in front of her now is her own.

However, she was undoubtedly the ‘incarnation of love’ who was running amok with the sadness, anger and loss of the man she loved.

It is usually a position befitting her ‘her her hero’ her, and her her self her, who took her precious things from her her, must have been seen as an existence that was nothing other than her her ‘demon king’ to her.

Then, according to the order of her story her, is it the right flow for her to be defeated by her her?

“… I’m sorry Pandora. But, I don’t intend to end up as the Demon King.”

The moment Cleon put such an apology into his mouth her, Pandora’s huge arm her, which began to control the overflowing magical power her, changed like the blade of a greatsword.

When a huge blow pulled out of the mud swung sideways to split Cleon’s body in half, Cleon dodged the blow by infusing his magic her into his legs her and leaping into the sky.

Booung! Cleon watched from the air as the blade passed under him.

However, in the next moment, countless great swords appeared surrounding his body her and pointed their swords at him.

Although the shape is slightly different, all of them resembled the great sword, the original form of ‘Pandora’.

Maybe- Pandora can’t even remember her real self her.

Even while thinking about that, the alignment of the swords aiming at Cleon did not stop.

Aiming at Cleon, who has limited evasion because he is floating in the air, a greatsword is inserted in an instant.

Kagi Geek! Kagak! Wow!

The sound of metal clashing, the sound of sparks popping, and the sound of iron cracking and breaking.

Each one resonated with a vicious sound, and Cleon’s body didn’t look like it could survive in it.

Numerous knives were stuck in the giant iron ball in the air, like the thorns of a porcupine.

Naturally, there seems to be no space for one person to enter.

As if Pandora thought that Cleon had died inside, he slowly reached out his arm toward the iron ball and seemed to check his condition her.

Then the next moment.

Just when I thought I heard a whimpering sound, several of the knives in the middle snapped with a scream-like sound.

Then, the broken blades were pulled out and poured down like heavy rain toward Pandora, who was moving in a different direction.

Of course, the blades that were part of her did not betray her.

Looking at the swords that tore apart her own body her, her blades her were clinging to their blades her with jet-black magic power that was different from her own her.

And, it was the same color and type of magic as the magical power that dyed Cleon’s finger as he reached out from inside the iron ball where parts had fallen off.

The swords that were thought to have finished off Cleon were all stained with that magical power and bent in an impossible direction.

Between the gaps created like that, Cleon stood still and he reversed the swords that attacked him.

Those swords were much more vulnerable to illusions made of black magic, of course, to the erosion of magic than anything in the pure material world.

After fixing her body in space as if it were a wedge, Cleon opened her mouth.

“It is your own power, not the power from the outside, that can damage your body that is overflowing with magical power. Pandora.”

That’s why Cleon deliberately dodged into the air, which was difficult to avoid, so that Pandora could attack him with relatively small swords.

The reason why she expected to do so was probably because she had memories of the battle of the Demonic Sword Emperor that Cleon had seen.

Thanks to this, Pandora’s body her could no longer move from the spot, and the greatsword on her arm her also became immobile.

And- one more thing Pandora misjudged about Cleon was that Cleon could use flight magic to move through the air.

This time, with a little more strength and resistance to magical erosion, the army of swords created to tear Cleon apart once again.

However, thanks to that, the trajectory of the movement became easier to read than before, so when Cleon’s eye saw the power of the hunter’s imprint activated.

It flew like an acrobatic flight to get out of the group of swords and take her core of her.

It was impossible to dodge on the spot, and the swords couldn’t pursue Cleon.

Actions that Pandora can take are struggling-

However, when she struggled with strength, her arm her-the arm of the sword that had attacked Cleon for the first time earlier-somehow escaped from her restraints her and was swung towards Cleon.

However, her blind hatred and anger towards Cleon soon led to her poor judgment of her.

Awesome!

Her sword her, swung to pursue Cleon, who jumped into her own arms her, cut through her own arms her, into which Cleon jumped.

After the blade, which even he couldn’t stop, cut her upper body up and down again.

Her core her, which she barely missed, was floating in the air and glowing.

Cleon straight away, angling in the air, reached her hand her straight up toward her core her.

The distance was not too far, and Cleon’s speed was faster than her arrows.

That’s why, no matter what Pandora does, he won’t be able to stop him.

However, just before Cleon’s hand her touched the core, the heat emitted by the highly concentrated mana touched Cleon’s hand her.

“Kuh…!”

It’s like putting your hand inside a furnace.

Even if the hands were covered with countless magic powers to protect them, it felt impossible to withstand the heat that engulfed all of that protection.

The pain as if his hands were melting alive hit Cleon’s hands of hers, but he kept his lower lip tightly shut, gathering mana under his feet hers and turning them into footholds.

It wasn’t just flying magic, it was a ulterior motive to use a more powerful repelling force to pierce the magical repulsive force, even if it was forced.

“Ka, in… Cain…!”

Pandora’s ringing voice sounded similar to Cleon’s magic sword Her, Stella, that I heard just yesterday.

However, Cleon knew that her sympathy would only make her suffer even more.

Originally, she should have disappeared together with ‘Cain’.

Someday, if she says she waits for the day when they can meet again, then she will be in hell prepared for her and Cain.

“So- go to sleep now.”

As Cleon muttered, he kicked the foot of his magical power her.

The magic armor that covered his hands his, which had already become like gauntlets, melted in an instant, and even the bottom of his hands his melted beyond the burning of his skin by the heat.

Cleon stopped keeping his mouth shut.

Full body messenger, raising his voice his, breaking through the heat barrier with full force.

Soon, with that hand, he was holding the ‘Pandora’s Core’ in his hand.

And—with all his might, put power into his own hands his.

Among the scars left by the Emperor of the Demonic Sword, it was to shatter the core of the ‘Demonic Sword Pandora’, which must have been the biggest scar.

Clink! And heard the sound of her glass beads breaking.

In the next moment, the connection between Pandora’s core and all the magic it created was severed.

The small area is quickly contracted and dismantled, and the core of the sword is scattered into pieces, losing its heat and magic.

Then, before I knew it, the scenery around me returned to normal, and I was in the small room of the Touhou Country, next to Lilim’s bed her.

Cleon had returned from earlier, standing with her fists outstretched over her body.

“…”

Cleon opened her fist slowly and looked down at it.

In the palm of his own hand his, though by heat did not exist.

The red shards of the shattered core turned sharp and cut the palm, causing blood to flow.

The moment after Cleon stretched out his hand her, vividly remembering that pain and the voices sent to him by the things he had pruned.

When she came to her senses her, all her demonic energy her had disappeared from Lilim’s body her at some point.

Perhaps- it might have been Pandora who was causing the growth of the demon factor in her body.

Perhaps it was because of his mood her, but his expression her became a little more relaxed.

“…Ah. God, it’s not the time.”

After seeing Lilim’s face like that, Cleon lifted up the amulet of the imprint as if coming to his senses her.

The unnecessarily overflowing aura of black magic that she felt in her body had disappeared.

It could even be said that the factor of the devil had completely disappeared.

After Cleon confirms it, she slowly places the talisman on top of her belly and focuses her attention on her.

Once again, as her body her is manipulated by the power of the imprint, Cleon carefully lifts her upper body her.

Careful not to spill any pills she spit out in strange places, she pulled them up from inside her body and—

“Cool…”

And at the same time as a harsh cough came out of her mouth, the pill of degeneration that had been inside her came out through her mouth her.

Upon seeing the medicine that reduced her size by half, Cleon immediately took it with the cloth he had prepared in advance and opened a small barrier to trap the pill.

Layla said that a little special process was required to dispose of these pills, so we can hand them over to her after this.

Then, Lilim’s body her completes the transformation and slowly begins to stabilize.

“…With this, did it…?”

Cleon said so, and for a moment he let out a sigh of relief and tried to get her back on her bed her.

Like a rattle, her back her curves like a bow and she jumps.

“Ah, kuk. Ugh… Ah…!!”

The next moment, Lilim opens her mouth and clutches at her own chest as her limbs her move with her painful screams, and she struggles as if she can’t breathe properly.

“Lilim!?”

When Cleon raised her voice and examined her body, she could see that all the magic organs in her body her had stopped moving and the magic power was quickly disappearing from that body.

“What… Hey? What happened?”

Unexpectedly, Cleon stared at her for a while, then she got her ‘hot’and came to her senses her, got her her body her up and ran toward her door.

“Quon!”

At the same time as she opened the door and called for Quon, who was waiting outside her, Cleon’s urgency turned his gaze directly toward the bed.

Above it was seen the figure of Lilim, who was slowly dying towards her magical exhaustion of her.

“I’m sorry…!”

Quon jumps right in, places her hand on top of Lilim’s body her, and desperately uses her healing magic her.

However, her magic organ that has lost her function cannot be restored with her healing magic of her.

“That, like that…”

Cleon approaches her her Quon and tries to use her healing magic her with her, but her healing spells her are equally ineffective.

“…How, should I do it?”

When Cleon asks Quon a question, Quon looks at her lilim, shuts her mouth for a moment, and thinks of something about her her.

“… First of all, what she needs is her magic power her. And the restart of her magic organ her.”

“Ah. Otherwise, Lilim will die from her magical exhaustion of her.”

“…If it’s magic, just supply it the way Cleon always does. And once a certain amount of magic is supplied to the magic organ, the magic organ will be reactivated accordingly.”

“…Supply of magical power…”

Of course, you know how to do it.

However, in a situation where she is in a hurry, in a situation where she can’t control her body Her like this?

Then, Quon speaks.

“Wait, Cleon, hold her arm her.”

“…Okay.”

Saying so, Quon kissed Lilim’s mouth as if performing artificial respiration.

Then, when he bites his lower lip, blood flows out and flows into Lilim’s mouth her.

Somewhere, that sight that seems to be a perverted act.

However, Quon, a serious face, removes her mouth after a while, wiping it off with the back of his hand her.

Then, as magic power dwelled in Lilim’s body her, even a little bit, her salivation her also decreased.

“Ha ha… Ha… Kuh…”

“No way, did you temporarily open the magic passage, Quon?”

When her Cleon her talks to her, her Quon her nods at her.

I could see that the magical energy in Quon’s body was flowing towards Lilim at high speed.

However, as soon as Lilim’s body accepts the magic, it disappears without accumulating in the body of her as if digesting it.

The magic power coming through her aisle did not give her body enough stimulation to awaken the magic organ.

“Uh, yes… But, it doesn’t last that long.”

“Dangerous things… ! If her magic organ does not wake up in time, your body, Quon, too… !”

“Yeah… But, if it’s Cleon, it’s definitely…”

After Quon said that, she slowly closed her eyes.

Her body also had a hard time maintaining her spirit her as her mana her was rapidly draining.

Leaning her body her against the wall and staring at Quon, who had lost her mind, Cleon bit her lip.

“…Cl, Leon…Sama…?”

And, conversely, when Lilim, who had been sleeping, opened her eyes.

Cleon held her by the shoulder as if she had made up her mind her.

It was to kiss her in order to pour out even her her own mana into her her.
