The blinding vision had returned to its original scene.
However, the wreckage of the slaughtered assassins has turned the area into a pool of blood, and the smell of iron rust fills the air.
“Seti is gone! Damn, where the hell are you ……?”
Alta raised himself up and moved his head to look around.
drip.
Suddenly, something spills out from his hand.
It was the right wrist holding the “Magic Sword Ansalar”.
A large amount of fresh blood pours out from the severed end of the arm like a waterfall.
“Huh? My right hand is missing…..huh. My back looks like it’s right below me. ……Why?
Alta felt a sense of discomfort but did not know what had happened.
(I was cut? …long ago.)
When he finally realized, it was too late.
Alta had been beheaded.
His head was just placed on top of his torso.
By moving the head while the nerves were barely connected, he must have shifted the head.
A moment later, he did not even notice that he had been cut, let alone feel any pain.
It was already a done deal.
Blood spurts from the section of the torso, and Alta’s head flies through the air and falls to the floor.
At the end of the rolling mass, I was standing there, covered in fresh blood.
Having released all my strength, my breathing is ragged and both shoulders are shaking heavily.
“…… Haa, Haa, Haa. The blood in my abdomen has stopped,…… and the spell cast by Mors has finally been lifted.”
The wound in my abdomen was able to be sealed by 《biological function amplification and enhancement》.
This would have saved me from bleeding to death.
However, the fact remains that I lost a large amount of blood.
I crouched down and deactivated the “Enhanced Biofunction Amplification”.
“…..S-Seti,….you,……You cut off my head,………….”
Alta is still connected to consciousness despite being in a head-only state.
Surely it’s the effect of sharing a body with Mors, either way it’s the last light.
“Yeah …… you may be the first person ever to have me driven to this point. I sincerely admire your persistence, …… even though you went about it the wrong way.”
“…I don’t care about the means…Even if I train properly, I’ll never reach the level of a monster like you…That’s why I’m satisfied. Even if it was just for a moment, I was able to match Seti…you… ”
Is it with Alta’s own determination?
He seems to be the type who shows his strength only after being cornered.
But I can’t approve of what he’s done.
“Is Mors there?”
“Yes, Seti?”
Unlike Alta, who is on the verge of losing consciousness, this one is in much better shape.
“Why are you using Alta? What do you really want?”
“Don’t make me repeat it. You have known it for a long time. I want your body, Seti.”
“You mean you’re going to take over my body like you did Alta?”
“That’s the simple answer. I failed this time, but I’ll think of another move ……”
“Wait, boss! What is your true identity? ? What kind of a being are you?”
“I won’t tell you. No, you will find out sooner or later. …… But now that you understand, there is no one in this world who can kill me. Even if you are the Grim Reaper, your scythe will never be able to erase my existence.”
He was so relaxed that it was as if he had no body to begin with.
“Don’t get too comfortable, boss! I will surely find out who you are and slaughter you in the name of …… Seti, the God of Death!”
“…… I’ll be looking forward to it, Seti. My beloved son…”
Mors spat out a few words and disappeared from existence.
“Seti, are you all right?!”
Karina voice rang out for a brief moment. She entered the audience chamber.
Behind her are Fiala, Miriel, and Manisa.
It seems that they have safely rescued Queen Eliza.
“…… Karina, as you can see. But I lost a lot of blood. …… I can’t move for a while.”
“Wait for me, Seti san! You will recover now!”
“Thank you, Fiala,……, you are always so helpful.”
When I thank her, she smiles at me, her cheeks tinted, “Of course,” she says.
She puts her hand on the wound on my abdomen and performs 《Healing Magic》.
But the lost blood can’t be regained, so the only way to recover is to take nourishment.
“Seti …… is the one lying there ……?”
“Yeah, Miri. It’s Alta,…… he died.”
“I see,…… he really is a stupid man. If he had been a little more heroic,…… even we might have changed our views,…….”
Manisa looks at Alta with sad eyes over her glasses.
“……Karina, Fiala, Miri, Manisa……Ah, my girls…… give it back, Seti… …Give me back …….”
You’re still alive, Alta.
I’d say he’s stubborn, but he already looks dazed.
“Alta…… you are so selfish. We are not things! I decide how I live my life! And I have decided that the answer to that question is to walk with Seti dono!”
“I want to be with Seti san. That is the will of all of us and that is all. We have not had the slightest thought of you from the beginning!”
“So don’t get me wrong, Alta. We all love Seti!”
“Next time you are born again, I hope you will be a true human being. …… We will live together supporting Seti. bye.”
Everyone supports my body and makes me stand.
Each of them said their thoughts as their last words.
Even though it was a political ploy, they were once the fiancées of the hero Alta.
I guess Alta wanted to get them back from me.
Even if it meant selling his soul to the devil, he would have …… them back.
The result of that is the Alta of today.
“………… Damn it.”
Alta’s eyes turned white with his last words, and he completely lost consciousness.
“Looks like it’s over. …… ”
I muttered to myself, and for some reason I felt a sense of wretchedness, as if I had lost all my strength.
I’m not really sad about Alta’s death.
It’s just a self-inflicted ending.
But when I think about it, I don’t think there’s ever been a man who has penetrated so deeply into my role as a lone assassin.
We never once understood each other, but we had something strange in common.
–We were both fake heroes.
Maybe that’s why Alta wanted to be a real hero.
I heard such a line in every word he said.
I’m sure he thought that by becoming a ‘real hero’ he could get back his lost fiancées.
(…… Alta. I don’t want to be ‘real’. But I will make them happy in my own way. If you feel resentment in the afterlife, go ahead and do it.)
I will live and enjoy a slow life with my loved ones.
That’s all.
Soon after, Queen Eliza visited the audience chamber.
She looked somewhat gaunt, as if she hadn’t been fed.
“Rotakka!”
“Eliza-chan~ uwaa!”
They ran out and hugged each other.
I, an outsider, could not understand, but it seemed as if their bond as husband and wife had been strengthened by this incident.
Now the Holy Land of Grática would not be a problem.
We had successfully stopped Alta’s plan to take over the Holy Land of Grateka.
“Well then, we’re off …….”
I was about to leave the room, supported by the girls.
But then I noticed something important and turned around.
I turned around and saw that something was missing.
“What’s the matter, Seti dono?”
Karina tilted her head.
“The …… magic sword Ansalar is missing. The …… boss has disappeared again. I still can’t kill him, can I?”
Mors is also known as the one with a thousand bodies.
The next time we meet, I wonder what he will look like.
How can I kill him?
I am lost in a bloody “killing loop” that repeats endlessly.
I am sure that I will continue to be targeted by assassins, and that I and Mors will kill each other.
I turned my eyes away from the gruesome scene and looked at the four beautiful girls.
They are walking forward with me, supporting my body with all their might.
My heart tightened hotly in my chest.
(If that’s the case, so be it. …… To protect everyone I care about, I’ll fight the boss a thousand times, or even tens of thousands of times!)
I made a firm resolution and vowed to do so.
