I Can’t Run Away From the Girl Who Saved Me

204 – The End (6)

＊

The moment the Demon King saw Sylvia, he felt greatly relieved.

This was because Sylvia knew that her sword would not cause much damage to her.

It seemed that the saint had saved Sylvia’s life, as there were no wounds left on her chest where there should have been a large hole.

The saint herself is nowhere to be seen.

Judging from her strange appearance, with no lower body, she seemed to be in no condition to fight properly.

‘The warrior alone cannot kill me.’

The Demon King thought so and smiled wickedly.

Of course, it didn’t take a second for that thought to change.

“…What?”

The severed wings do not regenerate.

The body continues to plummet towards the ground.

Only then did the Demon King realize.

The sword in Sylvia’s hand was emitting a brilliant light,

“…!”

It wasn’t Sylvia’s sword.

“no…”

“what,”

Sylvia grabbed the falling Demon King by the neck and threw him hard towards the ground.

bang!

The Demon King fell to the ground with a sound like a shell full of gunpowder exploding.

It was such an incredible force that even the Demon King, who thought much faster than a normal human, felt as if he had been thrown and hit the ground at the same time.

A spiderweb-like pattern appeared clearly on the solid marble floor, centered around the point where the Demon King fell.

“Ugh!”

The Demon King immediately got up.

It was a bizarre movement, with the wings pushing against his body, as if his body had risen of its own accord.

But Sylvia was not one to be frightened by such actions.

Sylvia immediately swung the holy sword.

The Demon King let out a disgusting roar and swung his sharp forelegs at Sylvia, but Sylvia easily blocked the attack with her sword in her left hand, then caught the holy sword she was swinging with her right hand in the air and slashed at an angle.

A trajectory of golden light, seemingly a large wall appearing in the air, turned 90 degrees and flew in at an unexpected angle.

The Demon King’s elbow, which had been grazed by the trajectory, was more than half cut off and dangled, but could no longer hold on and flew into the air.

“brave…!”

“…!”

The Demon King opened his mouth wide and spewed out thick magical energy.

It was a threat, but it was also to create an environment where his severed body could recover.

Sylvia was very conscious of the magic.

Even though Alice saved Ash from the brink of death, the magical energy accumulated in his body was still there.

The magical energy already accumulated in Ash’s body was dangerous enough, but if Ash inhaled any more magical energy, there might really be nothing that could be done.

Sylvia immediately closed the Demon King’s mouth with her sword-holding fist.

With a horrible, indescribable cracking sound, teeth the size of fingers shattered into pieces and scattered into the air.

Sylvia pushed the Demon King’s body against the wall and then rushed at him.

Both swords pierced the Demon King’s abdomen and were firmly embedded in the wall behind him.

Before the Demon King could even scream, Sylvia immediately raised her foot and kicked the hilt of the sword stuck in the Demon King’s stomach hard.

bang!

With the sound of another shell being heard, the Demon King’s body was thrown out of the wall.

Sylvia ran straight through the hole in the wall without hesitation.

＊

“…”

“Well, that’s just how Sylvia was.”

Sister Maria muttered quietly, then knelt down on one knee and looked at Sister Alice, who was lying on her lap.

“How’s Alice?”

“I treated Sylvia and then she collapsed right away. She was still breathing, but…”

Sister Alice’s condition could not be described as good even in empty words.

No, not only was it nothing short of a miracle that he came back to life in the first place, but that miraculous resurrection was accomplished without more than half of his body being lost.

Even in the midst of all that, he squeezed out all the remaining divine power and shared it with Sylvia, and after that, Sister Alice’s body was left abandoned with its cut sections exposed, looking like a corpse.

In fact, the divine power now flowing out of Sister Alice’s body was smaller and fainter than when only her heart existed.

“… Alice”

Sister Maria looked at Sister Alice with a pitiful expression.

“Thank you, bestie. You saved me… from being trapped in that body and being a puppet…”

“Sister…”

I stroked Sister Alice’s face and casually placed my finger under her nose.

Her breathing was so thin that it seemed as if it would stop at any moment.

I said, shaking my head.

“I know you’re worried, but… you can’t miss this moment. I’ll be taking care of Sister Alice. Help Sylvia.”

“… okay.”

Sister Maria nodded obediently and got up.

However, her expression was filled with regret and guilt, and her hesitation, as if it was painful to turn her back on Sister Alice, was slowing down her movements.

“…”

For some reason, I felt a great sense of discomfort when I saw Sister Maria like that.

Sister Maria was the type of person who would definitely say no if she didn’t like something.

No matter what the situation or conditions, he was a person with strong self-esteem who did not allow anyone to interfere with his opinions and actions, and he was a person who never did anything that his heart refused to do.

But now, my older sister wasn’t like that.

He was moving his body slowly, clearly expressing with his whole body that he did not want to go.

Is it because I know how urgent the situation is now?

Or maybe it’s because she’s a spirit who has no choice but to do as I ask.

If my sister, who had become a spirit, had lost her free will and had no choice but to follow my orders, that would have been quite a terrible thing.

It would be no different from me taking away Sister Maria’s will.

But, unfortunately, now was not the time to discuss such things.

Even if Sylvia is holding the Holy Sword, the opponent is the Demon King.

I closed my eyes tightly and spoke firmly.

“Please, Sister Maria.”

“… huh,”

“You can use all your remaining magic power. Me too… I’ll rest a little more and then catch up. Pia stays here. Please wake me up later.”

Pia made a trembling expression.

It might be because he was worried about me, who was dying just a little while ago.

When Sister Alice’s divine power woke me up, Pia’s eyes, which had been crying while looking at me alive and well, were bright red.

Pia said in a trembling voice.

“Okay… Ash will do whatever I say anyway… Okay. But… Is Ash okay with it?”

“…”

“And if I die again… what should I do…”

“Again… I’m not dead yet.”

“It’s as good as dead. He’s barely breathing, but the magic energy inside his body is still there.”

“Yeah… but I don’t think I’ll die.”

It was just as Pia said.

The divine power I received from Sister Alice was barely holding on to my life, and my current condition was not much different from that of Sister Alice lying in my arms.

Every time I breathe, it feels like my lungs are burning.

My bones and organs were all aching as if they were twisted and twisted, and there was a large tumor on the sole of my foot that was swollen and felt like it was burning.

Even the once abundant magical power was now almost completely depleted to maintain Sister Maria’s protective magic.

But it didn’t matter.

Pia might hate it, but I was ready to die at any time.

In other words, it also meant that even if I were to die, I wouldn’t be able to touch even a single hair on the Demon King with my own power.

In order for me to fight the Demon King… no, in order to be of even the slightest help to Sylvia, I desperately needed the cooperation of Sister Maria and Pia.

I continued, gently running my hand through my hair.

“At least I won’t die right now.”

Sister Maria slowly turned her body and slid into the hole in the wall.

That was when.

Sister Alice, who was lying in my arms, jerked violently in her body.

“… Leah?”

“Sister Alice? Are you okay…”

Sister Alice’s golden eyes flashed open, and her slender, trembling arms reached out and barely touched my shoulder.

A voice as delicate as the fingers that had brushed my shoulder barely escaped Sister Alice’s lips.

“Right now… Maria…?”

“…”

＊

The Demon King flew through the wall and crossed over the moat before finally crashing onto the ground and rolling around.

Because of that, the two blades embedded in his stomach hit the ground and mangled his stomach.

The Demon King writhe in pain, but he pulls out the Holy Sword, which has become loose due to the heavy impact on the ground, and throws it away.

Even with just a brief touch, the Demon King’s hand began to bubble and burst.

The pain felt like boiling water was being poured into my stomach, and my palms felt like they were all burned, so it was difficult to even get up.

But now was the chance.

The only chance to escape from Sylvia.

The Demon King staggered to his feet.

After pulling out Sylvia’s sword that was still stuck in his stomach, he quickly pulled out his tentacles again to replace his lost wings.

“Stupid, thank goodness you got me out of there,”

If we continue to rise up into the night sky like this, everything will end.

It was ridiculous that a young woman like Yongsa would make such a fatal mistake.

“… krrr”

The Demon King slowly lowered his forelegs and prepared to leap again.

It was clear that Sylvia would soon be in pursuit.

However, she carelessly thrust both swords into the Demon King’s stomach and failed to retrieve them.

That is, the Demon King clearly realized that even if Sylvia appeared this time, there was no way to destroy his wings or body parts.

“Ugh!”

The Demon King gritted his teeth to endure the pain.

Black, magic-mixed saliva dripped from between the teeth that were all broken in the tightly closed mouth.

Overcoming the pain, he spread his wings wide as wide as possible and swung them down sharply in one breath.

The Demon King rose into the air in an instant.

The sight of it rising toward the sky under the moonlight was unmistakably that of a legendary dragon.

“…Stop!”

Sylvia ran towards the demon lord and screamed.

Sylvia held the Holy Sword in her hand.

It seems that the Demon King had been given a chance to fly up while picking up the sword.

The Demon King laughed at Sylvia and flew into the darkness of the night sky.

Sylvia, who was running quickly, jumped towards the Demon King.

“It’s no use. It’s stupid!”

The Demon King’s rebuke was true.

Even if Sylvia’s leap was of a superhuman strength, it was no match for a flying dragon.

It was too far to reach the Demon King who had already risen into the air.

“Don’t make me laugh, you came all the way here!”

Sylvia threw the holy sword into the air.

A large sword flew towards the Demon King like an arrow.

However, the Demon King had already anticipated that much.

“Ugh!”

The Demon King used the sword he was holding, Sylvia’s, to block the flying holy sword.

It was entirely predictable for the Demon King that she would throw her sword at him.

That’s why I flew up with Sylvia’s sword in my hand.

The Demon King was confident of victory.

Five years ago, and today too.

They couldn’t kill themselves.

All the absurd powers the goddess prepared to kill herself.

I endured it all and survived.

“Admit it, you were stronger than me, warrior. As expected, the Demon King was destined to fall to the warrior.”

Sylvia’s body began to slowly fall to the ground.

The Demon King looked down at Sylvia and grumbled.

“But I overcame fate.”

Sylvia’s body disappears between the trees in the forest where she lies.

The Demon King spread his wings widely once again.

“The new world I will establish…”

The Demon King could not finish speaking.

“…!”

This was because his body began to rapidly fall toward the ground.

It wasn’t a crash.

This wasn’t falling, this was being pulled.

“what…!”

The Demon King discovered turquoise chains holding his feet and tail.

An unbreakable chain made of magic.

It was clearly an ancient, advanced magic that humans used long ago to hunt dragons.

A very old magic that can now only be found in ancient books.

There is no way an ordinary wizard would know this kind of magic.

The Demon King already ground his broken teeth.

“That woman again!”

“Where are you flying around, you bug?”

Maria stood at the eye level of the falling demon king.

Unlike Sylvia, for Maria, flying magic was a simple task that did not require any spells to be memorized.

The Demon King looked at Maria and screamed in frustration.

“How could this magic…!”

“Ash gave me permission to use all my magic power.”

The Demon King hurled curses at Maria, who answered shamelessly.

“Disgusting! You dead b*tch, you’re still interfering with me!”

“It’s because you did something stupid to try to make me work for you.”

“Let go now, you phantom!”

Maria recited the spell.

descend, quickly, pull.

Maria’s pronunciation was so fast and precise that it was like watching a native speaker of the magical language.

The Demon King used spirit magic to attack Maria.

“You really can’t use magic.”

Maria muttered and lifted all of the Demon King’s spirit spells.

“That’s ridiculous…”

“In the past, I would not have expected the existence of spirits, but not anymore.”

“Maria!”

“Now that I’ve become a spirit myself, I can kind of understand it.”

At that moment, the Demon King felt the scales on his entire body stand up.

For humans, it was like giving them goosebumps.

At the warning of his eerie instinct, the Demon King turned his eyes and looked down.

The ground has become closer before we knew it.

There, Sylvia was waiting, looking straight at him, holding the holy sword tightly in her hands.

The turquoise chain wound faster, pulling the dragon to the ground.

“No, stop!”

“That’s funny, when I was being tortured to death by you, that’s exactly what I said.”

“…Stop, wait a minute!”

Sylvia answered.

“no.”
