Chapter 167 – Division (7)

“Aaaaa!”

The demon’s blood gushed out like a fountain. A warm, fishy scent covered his face, then a cold freeze tightened his skin. After skimming his face with his glove, thin red ice splattered in all directions. Orland’s sword pierced the belly of the demon blocking the front.

“Kwaaa!”

When the devil screamed, he grabbed the sword again and Orland, unable to pull himself out, struggled with a puzzled face.

“Orlando!”

Flashes flashed along with Fabian’s voice. The devil’s neck was blown off, and his grip on the blade loosened. Orland drew his sword and ran forward. He didn’t have time to say thanks. Drek – Psy snorted as he faced the two men approaching him.

On all sides demons were disorganized to slay them. Fabian swung his dagger and severed the sinews of the charging demon. The leaning body was decapitated by Orlando. The hulking demon’s body was torn in two pieces, blood pouring out.

Across the flood of his blood that gushed out, Orlando ran forward. His blood-soaked clothes froze in an instant, then spewed red thin ice following his violent movements. As the two walked along, a red color fluttered.

“Every! Ignore those two and charge!”

Drek – Psy shouted as he picked up the stone. The demons nodded and ran away with all their might, while the beastmen attacked the outskirts, away from Orland and Fabian.

The two were surprised to see demons suddenly opening their way to them, but were able to recognize their intentions when they faced Drek-Psy, who smiled and beckoned.

“Do you want to kill me?”

There was no answer. Orland was only running towards Drek-Psy at a higher speed. Drek – Psy admired his aggressive and destructive moves, but he decided that they were not enough to defeat him.

“Die!”

A stone the size of a boar’s head flew toward Orland like a cannonball. The snowflakes spun along the air currents created by the rocks and moved forward, and Orlando fell into the illusion that a black dot was about to attack him in an instant.

And Fabian’s body moved like lightning. The dagger was tilted at an angle to accurately hit the stone Drek-Psy had thrown. The stone, aiming for Orland’s head, hit the back of the demon’s formation and turned 8 demons into hamburger dough.

“Quaaaaagh!”

“Quaaaaagh!”

The demons screamed as they picked up crushed limbs and spilled intestines. Drek-Psy frowned on his face, and Orland rushed in without slowing down.

“Die!”

Drek – Aiming for Psy’s neck, his sword flew. But it moves very slowly. The gap was clearly visible, so Drek-Psy struck the blade with his prosthetic hand. He lost his strength, the sword ricocheted, Orland’s wrist snapped.

Orland frowned and gritted his teeth, and Drek-Pyse got goosebumps all over him.

“This bastard!”

The moment he reflexively turned, Fabian’s sword cut deeply into Drek-Psy’s side. Fabian clicked his tongue and turned in the air, aiming for Fabian, who fell off Drek-Psy’s foot.

“ぅ!”

Fabian’s body ricocheted like bullets at the demon’s heavy footwork. After wiping the snow with my body and rolling on the floor a few times, I quickly got up to check my surroundings. At the same time as he got up, a demon holding an ax screamed and ran right next to him.

“Wow!”

And before Fabian could raise his dagger and respond, an ax flew and slashed his head in two. His hair was cut in front of him and tossed about in the winter wind. The demon slumped forward, and Fabian took a deep breath as he thrust his dagger into the other demon’s chest.

“Under… !”

Orlando staggered to his feet. Drek – Psy frowned at the blood streaming down his side. He shouted as he rushed forward.

“Don’t be so elated! I’m Drek-Psy! The king of all imps! The existence that will become the greatest demon king!”

Both Orlando and Fabian took a deep breath. Demons continued to hinder them, and Drek-Psy was a formidable opponent. Orlando thought his wrist was broken. Fabian felt like a rib had come out of him. But neither of them talked about their injuries.

Fabian pressed his side tightly and pretended nothing was wrong.

Orland picked up his sword as if he were left-handed.

And they both ran at the same time.

“Aaaaa!”

A shout rang out.

****

A shout rang out.

The widespread shouts and embers felt like fireworks for a funeral. Fabian collapsed on the floor, facing the sky. He had no sensation in his body. He must have had his intestines crushed. Every time he breathed he smelled blood.

He didn’t even have the strength to turn his head.

Fabian was just staring at the sky.

From time to time, a red trail crossed my eyes. And there was a deep blue sky.

Beside him was Orland, who was lying on the floor. Orland was staring at Fabian, only blinking his eyes. The stars were shining, but nothing was accomplished. In the last moments of his life, Fabian’s life will fade away, painted over with recklessness.

Also, I thought it was a very reckless operation.

Drek-Psy sat down on the floor, gnashing his teeth, looking at Fabian and Orland. His body was full of wounds because he relentlessly attacked every time he showed a gap. Even if he sat down for a moment, his blood ran down, and it was difficult to make any vigorous movements.

“Wait a little. Drek – Psy. A wizard will come soon to heal you.”

“Nice… ! They’re pretty strong guys. How is the war situation?”

“It is rapidly collapsing. With the commanders dead, we can’t hold out any longer. What will these guys do?”

“Once this place is cleared, take your breath away and bury it.”

Fabian blinked. Now she didn’t realize that he was going to die soon. A dagger was clutched in his hand, and his heart was beating, but the diagnosis did not make sense because all of it meant nothing.

After all, why did he come here?

[I want to become a star.]

He had said so His eyes were watching the setting sun. The boundary between the light blue and ultramarine sky was filled with deep blue like silk. Like scattering sparkling jewels, the stars with their backs to the sun then shone towards us. Fabian had said that while looking at the stars through the window.

[For love and justice]

Evan, who faced Fabian at that time, said so. Evan, who said he wanted to have a cool name, said strange things to Fabian while having a cool name.

“Cow, Sophia… !”

Orlando’s voice was heard. He opened his eyes, trying to get up somehow. However, the demon guarding his side pressed his body and said.

“Stay calm! You guys will be executed as an example!”

Fabian looked at him and shook his head. Stay still. So that you can live a little more, keep your head down.

And he fiddled with the dagger.

Why did you want to become a star?

Why did I want to become a star instead of the moon?

Orlando shouted.

“No… ! At this rate… ! No!”

Once again, the demon beat Orlando’s body. Even being trampled on, Orlando kept trying to get up. Fabian thought.

Why did I want to be a star?

For what?

“Aaaaa!”

Orlando raised himself up and screamed. The demon oppressing him bounced off, and Orland drew his weapon. His whole body was bruised, but his fighting spirit was clear. Drek – Psy said from a seated position.

“You can’t beat me. Warrior. Isn’t that assassin stronger than you lying down? Lie down again. You’ve already proven yourself to be a great fighter! Do not hasten your short life any longer! You can’t beat me!”

Orlando gripped his sword. His broken hand trembled. He shouted.

“The North is our land!”

Orlando ran with his sword. Drek – Jumped up and swung his sword as if to cut off Psy’s body. Fabian knew what was going to happen in the next second. Drek – Psy’s fist crushed Orlando’s face.

Orland, who floated up in the air, rolled back next to Fabian. Fabian met Orlando’s eyes. His eyes were talking. Why did he do such a reckless thing?

Now we lost

And Orlando shook his head. He coughed up blood and he cried out.

“Out of us… ! Doesn’t exist… !”

I wanted to become a star. Even if people don’t know, I wanted to become a star that helps the bright moon.

“I can save people… ! Outside of us… ! No… !”

And here, there was the moon. The moon was setting. When this moment is over, the moonlight that will never shine again shines brightly on her.

Fabian couldn’t help but laugh. For all these years, the star he was looking for was this,

It was not the cause of being a hero, but a pure heart that wanted to protect and help others. He only wanted to follow the moon like this.

He wanted to do a good job.

I wanted to be a good person.

That’s why he became the shadow of a hero and accumulated evil deeds.

I couldn’t find a simple concept that could be expressed in one sentence, so I was wandering for a long time.

Fabian stood up. My body was strangely light. He seemed capable of anything.

Drek – Psy glared at him with murderous eyes. He too rose up and defeated the demons around him. Since we had already evaluated each other’s skills, there was no next time. Drek – shouted Psy.

“You are a tenacious guy. What are you fighting for? I bet the glory and future of the Imps. What did you risk to come here?”

Fabian straightened his grip on the dagger. What did you come to this place for? There were many reasons.

I was disappointed in the hero, and I hated myself for following such a hero.

I’ve seen people suffer, and I know that this is the front line in the North.

Because the North is home.

If we don’t defeat it now, there won’t be another.

Here, he said, if he defeats the demon himself, Wolf, who is being attacked in the capital, will be able to breathe a little.

But there was no time to list the reasons.

So Fabian said:

“For love and justice.”

Drek – Psy laughed.

“For a great reason. But I can’t die either. The future of the imps hangs on my shoulders. To enslave all humans and rule the world by imps! That is my dream!”

Fabian laughed even louder.

One demon and one human. The two bumped into each other.
