753 The End Of The Nightmare
Cecilia slurped her throat as she watched the newly emerged figure.
Because at first sight I realized that it was something other than a person.
I felt something similar from things like the boy I saw earlier... is that what the devil is?
Though I heard some stories...... to be honest, I didn't even think I could beat it fine dust.
I never thought Isaac would be using illusion all the time, and I don't think Soma, who spotted it, is really amazing, as always.
But obviously, that man is not the winnable opponent of man.
I don't care how much soma it is, I don't feel I can beat it... if I looked sideways, I could tell that the Ainas would think the same thing.
But the difference with Cecilia is that you're definitely supposed to think so, but you have trust in your eyes?
I don't think I can win... but if it's soma, I'm sure that's what you think.
Regardless of Cecilia, if that's what you think, I'd like to think.
But... the man's presence is so overwhelming that it's impossible.
What the hell is Soma going to do with that guy?
Staring at her like that, Soma opened her mouth like she had no feelings whatsoever.
"Well... it's already been a long time since I've been late at night, and I just want to get it over with if I can... can I just ask you one thing?
'Hmm... as far as I'm concerned, I have no reason to snort at that word... well, I don't mind. The reward of defeating the man... and he should give me one or so of the souvenirs of the underworld. "
"Ho...? That's pretty disciplined, isn't it?
'Whatever. That's what demons are for. "
"- He said he was cheating on this man, is it?
Deceiving, the man had no great reaction to the word.
Instead, I just need to know what I'm talking about, tilting my neck.
'Deceive...? I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't cheat on the guy, did I?
"Are you going to blur? What this man didn't realize when he was in the illusion himself... well, it wouldn't be something he had to do if he said he had no choice. But why didn't you notice?
It was, indeed, right.
That's all there is.
It wouldn't be surprising if the hallucinations themselves hadn't worked, as Soma did.
I mean...
'Hmm... I see, that's certainly not true, but I'm still not fooled, am I? You didn't ask me that. "
"And it was like you had fooled this man?
"That would be an unfortunate mistake. I did say I could have the strongest power... in reality, I don't remember saying. It's only a hallucination… and until you showed up, you were actually able to wield the strongest power. It's your fault that it's impossible, and I'm not responsible?
"I see... what a rhetoric. Then change your words a little. Why did you say something to make me mistaken?
'I have no reason to answer the second question more than I have already answered the question... no. Speaking of which, wasn't that a question earlier?'
"That's right. You just answered my confirmation."
"Knock... well, then there's no choice. So, why did you say something to make me mistake it? 'Cause it's more efficient.'
efficiency, it was convincing, to be honest, that Cecilia held first.
Because if Isaac had realized that everything was only hallucinations, he wouldn't have been able to get that far.
I guess I was able to do what I wanted because I thought I really had the strongest power in my hands.
Or, if they had told the truth from the beginning, how would they have been?
... Maybe there was someone there who looked very much the same as Isaac I knew.
I think about that, confirming my own limbs and legs freed by the commandment being broken...... but it is also a pointless assumption.
In fact, Isaac was never informed of the truth until the end, after he had already done irrevocable things.
I can't undo that fact... and regardless, just because it's efficient doesn't mean I agree with that method.
'And also because the man would be happier. In fact, he's been happy ever since he got the power, hasn't he? Well, the despair seemed huge when I learned the truth for that matter... but I can't help it either. I need consideration for everything. If you felt the despair for being happy, you would have had enough'
"... is that so? Then to be honest, I was relieved."
"Relieved...?
"Uhm. - I think I can crush you without any hesitation. You know, showing up also means you're ready."
"Ha... you wanted it, like a demon king. Have you grown by not being able to defeat the man without difficulty? Or was he called the Demon King and you got it wrong? I am the devil - the thing that makes the hands and feet of the world, obeys its will, and performs its will. Don't think of humans as enemies."
"Then you should feel a little better, right? I'm sorry to hear you get hit so lightly with such a big mouth."
'Let's give that word back exactly as it was. I've already seen enough of your power. Then there is no chance that this win will shake. I overestimated myself and underestimated this one, I regret it......!
A man screams, and Soma turns her gaze.
We set aside for a moment and clashed shortly after.
Hearing a resounding roar, Cecilia thought that the feeling she had just felt was right.
After all, that man is not the enemy of man.
The sight reflected in the sight was an affirmation that the thought was right.
Every single light bullet that keeps pouring like rain seems to hold tremendous power.
It is the room of this throne, which should be designed to withstand any attack where it comes from, that is shredded slightly each time a light bullet lands.
Just eat one alle, and most people must be fatally wounded even if they don't do it badly.
The man is running around even more vertically and endlessly as such things pour out of the sky countless times.
The appearance is so invisible to Cecilia's eyes that, if you notice, you turn around to Soma's blind spot and this is another slaughter that is invisible to your eyes.
I know it's slaughter even though I can't see it, only because of the sound it sounds right after, otherwise I wouldn't even know what happened.
Furthermore, whenever what appears to be its slaughter is knocked into the ground, walls, etc., this is again heavily shredded.
It definitely has more power than a light bullet, and once it's properly tapped in, you can do the last thing you want to do is live.
And he manipulates those two freely.
If you try to escape the slash, you can use the light bullet, if you try to escape the light bullet, the slash will fly.
If you say so, like Eina and Sheila's top compatibility.
Strike down an attack with two or more collaborations while launching more than one attack each.
There is no gap between close and far, and if you stand in front of something like that, no one must escape.
Or one country… No, can it destroy the world itself?
I even think about that.
Most of all.
'Eh... stupid, why...! I've seen your power, and I'm guessing that you can definitely win. Why... I can't capture your movements...!?
Above all, it would be an amazing soma in front of something like that that, but it would scratch everything without difficulty.
Besides, I don't see a single rush on Soma's face, rather enough to even feel spared.
In contrast, it is the man who is unable to afford it.
At first, he even showed a bare gesture of admiration when he saw a soma that responded to a man's attack, but now he has no remnants of it.
The impatience that was coming up on its face little by little was now so clear that it could be seen clearly.
The man's attacks were gaining momentum in proportion to that, but still Soma's movements have not changed.
Beat down all the light bullets that are likely to hit you, and the slaughter that is emitted bounces back.
Though the man's attacks are on the side of increasing harshness, only Soma has a cool face and continues to groan.
But that's why the sight was so unusual.
Soma really doesn't change.
It's not just the complexion, it's the movement and everything.
Would you know how abnormal the situation is, Cecilia can capture Soma's movements?
Yes, Cecilia knows exactly how Soma works.
It is as if a man does not know.
I don't even have to say again how unusual that is.
In other words, even though Cecilia has no idea what a man's movements are, Cecilia's eyes also capture them, and Soma is somehow able to seal the man's movements perfectly.
You're supposed to be making only visible and understandable moves, but it's as if you don't see why Soma can do that.
What is this other than an anomaly?
"Damn... he's really the same, isn't he?"
and similarly watched the battle of the Somas, whining as Eina shrugged.
Cecilia turned her gaze reflexively because it felt like there was a sound of understanding there.
"Lord Aina... do you know what the hell Lord Soma is doing?
"Yeah? You've decided that, haven't you? - I have no idea."
"Heh...?
"'Cause whoever he's dealing with, whatever he's dealing with, he only makes the same moves? At least that's what I see in my eyes. But then, you overwhelm all the opponents you fight. You can't understand that, can you?
"... Mm, I agree.... but the least I can tell is when I actually tried to fight Soma.... I don't care how you look at it, it's faster this way, but I can stop it all. I don't know why."
Listening to the two words, Cecilia nodded so much that she understood why she thought there was a sound of understanding in Aina's whining earlier.
In fact, Eina, I'm sure you do understand.
However, that means that Soma is incomprehensible.
And at the same time, there was another thing I understood.
That is why the two of you have so much faith in Soma.
I just thought Cecilia was the reason for the stacked time.
No, I'm sure there will be that too... but more than that, I guess this figure is the factor.
If they do continue to look like this, they must think that Soma will do something about what the situation would be.
Cecilia figured out so much about Soma, too, but apparently she just really meant it.
If I say so, the more powerful the opponent is, the more he will demonstrate his main office?
Cecilia realized that Soma's strength was in an area that could also be called an anomaly, because that man's power was extraordinary and high.
Otherwise, Cecilia would surely still not have realized the true value of Soma.
It's ironic, but the power of a man is so great that it proves Soma's strength in relative terms.
But naturally, that must not have happened from the person you're dealing with.
In fact, even anger, followed by haste, was emerging in the man's face.
'Eh... this can't be happening... it can't be happening...! Though the Demon King, man outweighs me...!
"Hmm... I don't care what you think, but as a senior... Oh, speaking of which, I heard words earlier that might be appropriate for these situations. - How do you feel about overstating yourself and underestimating this one? Did you regret it?
"You......! Huh... no, that would be good. Oh, let's admit it. Surely you can do quite a bit. [M] However, you are still a human being… this way, we have to deal with it…!
The moment I said it, a man turned his hand towards Cecilia and the others.
What this means was immediately understood because a change in vision occurred shortly thereafter.
The light-bombs that have been aimed only at Soma have poured down on Cecilia and the others at the same time.
"Kuck, come on, protect them. Then you won't be the same as before...! After all, you beat me...!
Hearing the voice of a man laughing high, Cecilia felt blood draw from her face.
How much is the array, as I thought earlier.
There are hundreds of them just by counting them, and just the Ainas can't shoot them down.
If soma becomes responsive to it, that's what the man says--
"I don't know... if being pushed around is something anyone would do the same thing?
"Huh...? Oh, Eina, my lord?
Cecilia accidentally turned a bewildered eye to Aina, who grunted those words, because neither fine dust nor feelings of fear had surfaced in Aina's appearance as she looked up at the falling light bullet.
It doesn't even show frightening at all, as if to say there's nothing like that... as if you understand the end of it.
And.
As if Eina's attitude was correct, the next moment, hundreds of light bullets disappeared without one left.
No sound, as it has been from the beginning.
A man opened his eyes wide.
'If so, stupid......!? This is such a stupid thing......!?
"Oh my God... if they were hunted down, they would try to attack the irrelevant, and so on. Well, I feel like the bottom was shallow from the start."
"Eh... you...!
When Soma stared back at the man who was going to stare at him without looking at him, for the first time since the beginning of this battle, he took his place.
A man takes a step backwards like he was barely pressured by it... but soon, he takes a step backwards just to humiliate it.
'I am the devil......!? It's what the world wants. That's for you...!
"I am tired of hearing such entrustments. Come on, would you be satisfied? Then - I hope it passes into the afterlife with regret for what I have done. I don't know if there is such a thing as the afterlife in the devil."
'Huh... don't lick me, human...!
Screaming, a man jumped to Soma... Soma watched it, just silently.
And.
- Flash.
It was almost at the same time that a potpourring grunt sounded and something like a flash of light ran.
For a moment, I lost sight of Soma for the first time... but soon I'll find him.
Soma stood behind the man who jumped just a little further than he had earlier been in position.
However, the position has just changed and I don't see any difference in the way a man looks or Soma looks...... No.
It's just, I didn't get it.
As soon as Soma had laid his sword upon the sheath, he proved it, and the man's body was dusted.
Is it because Soma doesn't even have to confirm it?
Without even glancing, Soma exhales one loud breath, not even saying it's finally over.
And in fact, it was a signal of the end of this battle… or of this disturbance itself.
