"Your opponent is us." Jenova blocked the path to where Ito Sei was standing and said to Mad Father Frid, who was standing opposite him.
"Lias Jimenez's [Knight], if our united front still counts, let's destroy the King's Sword together." Then, Jenova said to Kiba Yuto without looking back.
"Is that okay?" Kiba Yuto asked.
"No matter what, as long as we can bring back the [Fragment] that forms the core of the King's Sword. Since the person who wielded the sword is Fred, even if the sword is a holy sword, it can't be considered a holy sword. The holy sword is the same as any other weapon. Different people use different weapons, so the situation is different. That is the sword of heresy. "Jenova smiled arrogantly.
"Hehehe …" Hearing Jenova's words, Barpa let out a strange laugh.
"Barpa Galileo, I am a survivor of the [Holy Sword Project]. No, to be precise, I am someone who died by your hands. I was reincarnated as a demon to live until today. "Kiba Yuto looked at Barpa who was still standing in the magic circle with a murderous look.
"Oh? A survivor of that project. Fate really makes fools of people. I didn't expect to meet in a Far Eastern country. We are really fated. Hehehe. "Barpa also seemed to be surprised.
"I like the holy sword very much. I like it so much that I even dream of it. Probably because I read the biography of the [King's Sword] before, it made my heart jump. Because of this, when I knew that I couldn't become a Sword Saint, I was really desperate. "Then, without waiting for Kiba Yuto to speak. Then, he continued to speak.
"Because I couldn't use the holy sword myself, I had a vision for someone who could use it. My heart grew stronger day by day. So I buried myself in research on how to artificially create someone who could use the holy sword. Thanks to your help, the research was successful. "
"What? Successful? You obviously treated us as failures? "Kiba Yuto raised his eyebrows.
"I noticed that using the holy sword required a certain factor, so I used the factor to investigate the suitability. Almost all of the young men and women who participated in the experiment had a factor, but none of them could use the [King's Sword]. So, I came to a conclusion. If that's the case, 'I wonder if I can extract and collect those factors?' "Barpa shook his head.
"I see. I understand now. When Sword Saints receive blessings, the thing they put into their bodies is … "Jenova seemed to have thought of something, and a look of realization appeared on his face.
"That's right. A female Sword Saint. We extract and crystallize the Divine Factor from the human body. Just like this. "As he spoke, Barpa took out a spherical crystal that emitted a blue light.
The crystal was sparkling and translucent, and together with the blue light it emitted, it looked exceptionally magnificent.
"After obtaining this, the research on the Sword Saint made great progress. However, the people of the Church treated me as a heretic and excluded me. He even snatched the research materials away. Since there is a swordsman like you, it means that there is someone who wants to continue my research. Damned Michael. He tried so hard to turn me into a sinner, but he ended up the same. Well, with that angel's way of doing things, even if the test subject's factor was extracted. At the very least, he was more humane than me. Hahahaha. "Barpa snickered.
"You killed my companions and extracted the suitable factor of their Holy Swords?" Shiba exuded a cold murderous aura as he questioned.
"That's right. This sphere is what was completed at that time, right? But three of them were used on Freed and the others. This is the last one. "Barpa admitted straightforwardly.
"Ahahahaha! Other than me, everyone else died in the process because their bodies couldn't match the factor! Hmm ~ ~ Looks like I'm really special! "Freed said narcissistically with pride.
"Barpa Galileo. You did it for your own research, for your own desires. How many lives have been sacrificed … "Shiba Yuto's hands trembled as he spoke. At the same time, a violent magic burst out from his body. They surrounded him tightly, exuding an astonishing aura.
"Hmph. Since you said so, why don't I give you this factor crystal. My research has progressed to the stage where it can be mass-produced. As long as the production environment is prepared, it can be carried out at any time. I'm going to first destroy this town with Kobil, then I'll collect the legendary Holy Swords from all over the world. Then I'll mass-produce Holy Swordsman and use the combined King's Sword to wage war against Michael and the Vatican. I'll let the stupid angels and believers who made me a sinner see my research. "Barpa said.
After that, he threw the sphere on the ground as if it was trash and let it roll in front of Shiba Yuto.
Shiba Yuto squatted down, picked up the crystal with both hands, and held it in front of his chest.
"… Everyone …" Shiba Yuto said softly.
A tear fell from the corner of his eye.
But at this moment, the blue sphere that didn't receive any stimulation suddenly bloomed with a bright light. The light gradually dispersed and covered the entire field. Then, one after another, small blue light spots appeared in the air above the field. Under the influence of an unknown force, they condensed into human figures one after another.
There were both men and women among these humanoids, but they were all quite young. Judging from their appearances, the oldest one was no more than 18 years old, while the youngest one was no more than 10 years old. They all wore the same clothes and stood in front of Shiba Yudou, their mouths silently opening and closing.
"I've been … I've been thinking. Is it really okay for me to be the only one alive … Some of you have bigger dreams than me, some want to live more than me. Is it really okay for me to live a peaceful life alone … "Shiba Yuto cried.
"[Don't worry about us. Even if it's only you, you have to live.] They said so. "Zhu Nai acted as a translator and conveyed the voices of the ghosts. She really did sound like a Miko/Psychic.
Then, the lips of the ghosts moved again and changed into a unified rhythm.
"It's a hymn." Jenova said.
Shiba Yuto heard this and sang the hymn while shedding tears.
Then, a new light spread with Shiba Yuto as the center and became more and more dazzling. And in this dazzling light, strange voices sounded in the silent field.
It was the voices of the ghosts. They sang the hymn with a clear child's voice.
The song was loud until it ended. The souls of the young man and the child flew into the sky and turned into blue light spots and surged into the body of Shiba Yuto who was kneeling on the ground.
After a moment of silence, Shiba Yuto opened his eyes and looked at Barpa with a cold but no longer angry gaze. "Barpa Galileo. If I don't destroy you, there will only be a second and third batch of people like us, people who don't care about their lives. "
"Hmph. Research is always accompanied by sacrifice. It has been so since ancient times. Isn't that all there is to it? "
"Yuto! Do it! Take care of everything yourself! Surpass the Sword of the King! You are the kin of I, Riaz Jimenez! My [Knight] will not lose to something like the Sword of the King! " Perhaps the demons and fallen angels of this world were all so polite, but ever since Shiba Yuto's side changed, the battle that was supposed to be going on in the sky had stopped, and Rheas, who was now free, said with a prideful tone.
"Yuto! I believe in you! "Zhu Nai said.
"Yuto senpai! Do your best! "Kitten encouraged.
"Yuto, go. Be a man." Sei Itō laughed.
"Hahaha! What are you crying for? You even sang so happily in the middle of the battlefield with those ghosts. It's so annoying. What bad luck, I hate that song the most. Just hearing it makes my skin break out in hives! I've had enough. My patience has reached its limit! I'm going to cut you into a thousand pieces to calm myself down! I'm going to use this invincible holy sword that combines four Swords of the King! "Friede said arrogantly.
"I'm going to transform into a sword. I'm going to transform into the sword of the president and my companions! Respond to my will! Demon Sword Creation! "Shiba Yuto ignored Friede's clamor and took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
Instantly, holy light and evil aura spread out from his hand, intertwining and colliding with each other, and finally fused into a black and white longsword that fell into Shiba Yuto's hand.
"Forbidden hand — Dual Tyrant's Holy Demon Sword! Possessing both holy and demonic swords at the same time, you'll have a taste of its power. "With that, Shiba Yuto charged at Friede.
"Since my knight is working so hard, I can't lose either. Kokebor, take this! "Riaz looked down at Shiba Yuto who was fighting with Friede and smiled. She then looked up at Kokebor and said loudly.
With that, she created a Destruction Magic Ball the size of a basketball in her hand.
"Don't even think about it!" Kokebor, who already knew that Riaz was no weaker than him, or even more powerful than him, would not stupidly take Riaz's attacks head-on. He immediately sneered and appeared behind Riaz in light form, opened his hand, and launched an attack at Riaz.
In an instant, a large amount of photon energy formed a ball and blasted at Riaz.
"You seem to have forgotten about me." At that moment, Zhu Nai's figure suddenly appeared behind Riaz. He stretched out his hands and created a large magic circle in front of him, blocking in front of her.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
Then, a violent roar sounded.
Riaz flew out in a flash and shot the Destruction Magic Ball in her hand at Kokebor.
Kokebor's figure flashed and dodged the Destruction Magic Ball's attack path. With a wave of his hand, hundreds of light javelins were created around him and shot at Riaz like a swarm of bees.
Zhu Nai put his hands together and created a series of lightning bolts, and pushed them out.
"Boom boom boom boom …"
The lightning bolts immediately clashed with the light javelins, creating a series of loud explosions.
"As expected of the guy who survived the last battle, he's really hard to deal with when he gets serious," Sei Itō could not help but exclaim as he looked at Kokebor who was fighting one against two in the sky.
