The Evil Noble Desires A Beautiful Demise - Could It Be That You're Stuck In A Loop? - "Gather around me!! Stay alert to your surroundings!!" So far, so good. We are becoming capable of annihilating the ogres without any difficulty. "Salifa! Bring down the ice!" "......Yeah. Ice Rain." Due to Salifa's magic, sparkling ice shards rain down. They are meant to reveal the form of the great serpent, and there is no pain. Nevertheless, to be able to use magic of the fifth tier, Salifa's abilities are truly unfathomable. Up to this point, it's fine. From the appearance of the giant serpent, the seventh attempt. Yes, we have already experienced total annihilation six times. In each of those instances, Salifa died protecting me. I don't understand why she goes that far for me. I don't understand, but her actions are devoid of any hesitation and come from the bottom of her heart, genuinely concerned for my well-being. There has never been anyone who would try to protect me even at the cost of their own well-being. At the same time as feeling ashamed of my own lack of ability, I also feel an unprecedented sense of security. However, this cannot continue as it is. I don't want to remain someone who is just protected by Salifa. After a while, the giant serpent appeared. Due to the icy rain, its figure is emerging. "Salifa, take care of that serpent over there! I'll handle the other one!" "...I understand." "Others, keep watch around! Kill any small snakes you find immediately!!" "Huh!!" Having finished the division of roles, I turn to face the serpent I am in charge of. This should be good. Based on the information obtained from previous trials, we will arrange the formation. Organizing information about the giant snake. The greatest threat is its invisibility. It cannot be seen, and its presence becomes faint, but it has a physical form, so it could be made visible by Salifa's magic. Its attacks mainly consist of bites with its fangs and charges that crush with its massive body. Its movements are swift, making it difficult to land an attack. Moreover, the troublesome part is that most magic does not work on it. This was also the case with Salifa's ice magic. In other words, we have no choice but to continue our steady attacks until we wear them down. However, its massive body also comes with durability, which takes time. Last time, we were too cautious, and our soldiers couldn't contain the small snakes, resulting in total annihilation. Therefore, this time we will attack all at once. "Crimson Sword, First Form" Martial arts passed down in the Olbraim royal family. This swordsmanship, specialized in offense, is suitable for the current situation. "Red Sword, Second Form" Swordsmanship that focuses solely on moving forward does not consider defense. "Crimson Sword, Third Form" Just swordsmanship for the sake of leading the charge and swinging the sword. Merely commanding from the rear is not what the Olbraim royal family does. Their path to dominance is forged by their own hands. "Red Sword, Fourth Form" However, it cannot be established without someone to trust with your back. It is precisely because there are trustworthy people that one can move forward without hesitation. In front of me, a battered giant snake. The mindless sword strikes had finally cornered the great serpent. "......Endens, can you do it?" The voice of Salifa from behind. When I hear this voice, I feel like my energy is being revitalized. "Ah, of course." Up until now, I had been completely relying on Salifa. At least I have to finish it myself in the end. "......Yeah. Then I'll help everyone else." Saying that, Salifa's presence fades away. He should take a break, but he's a diligent man until the very end. Alright, let's finish this. "Final Style: Crimson Lotus Sword" The strike from above cleaved the giant serpent. Finally, with this... "Uh-oh~? Did you get defeated~?" What is it? Whose voice is that? Where is that coming from? "It was a masterpiece, wasn't it? But, I guess it can't be helped..." A voice that doesn't belong on the battlefield can be heard. Sitting on the branch of a large tree was a woman in green attire. "Alright then, time to finish up~" No matter how you think about it, that's the enemy. If we don't eliminate it, bad things will happen. At that moment, when I was about to dash towards the green-clad figure. The battlefield shone, and a magic circle appeared. "〈The World That Entangles Everything: Bind World〉" The installation-type magic activates, and black shadows entwine around the feet. My leg has completely locked up. What is this? From the beginning, were we fighting in the enemy's trap...? I can hear the soldiers' clamoring voices. Are all the ones on this battlefield captured? "Good thing we prepared just in case, right? I'm so awesome!" "......〈Ice Lance〉" From behind, Salifa cast a spell. I see, if it's magic. "Fire Bullet!!" "Ahaha! It's useless, you know~?" Even the magic that was cast was entwined by a black shadow, and it did not reach the green-clad figure. I've never heard of such magic before. "Hmm, are you different? If that's the case, I guess I have no choice but to kill you?" The figure in green garb jumps down from the tree and looks this way. I defeated the ogre, defeated the giant serpent, and made it this far. Even so, in such an incomprehensible situation... "Hehe, you can't move anymore, can you?" Right after the figure in green said that, the black shadow wrapped around his hands and shoulders, completely immobilizing him. "What the hell are you...?!!!" "Ahaha, that's something you don't need to know~" The person in green attire laughed happily and took out a knife. "Okay, bye-bye~" The knife was thrown, but there was no way for me, unable to move, to avoid it. Am I going to die here again? Right after I thought that, In front of me, Salifa's back appeared. "Wh...!!" How did it move? Salifa should have been captured too... "......Endens, are you okay?" "Ah, ah..." "Whoa, what's that? That's gross. Did you cut your own leg?" At the words of the person in green attire, I instinctively look at Salifa's feet. The legs that were already entwined, The lower legs were made of ice. "Salifa, what have you done...!!" "......This is nothing to worry about." Without turning around, Salifa says. There's no way that's true...!! The place was silent. "Ah, it kind of fell flat." The tone of the person in green attire changes. "Anyway, you can't do anything either." That's right, this magic can entangle the entire body... "......〈Ice Armor〉" Just before the black shadow could entwine with Salifa, a beautiful ice armor enveloped her entire body. "......This magic will only entangle a single target, right?" "Huh? So what? In the end, you still can't move." The figure in green attire said that with a displeased expression and took out a knife. "...If I do it this way, I can move." Saying that, Salifa released the ice armor, and the entwined shadows dissipated into mist. However, immediately, the black shadows approached Salifa again, trying to entwine her once more. Just before that, Salifa was once again clad in ice armor. "Huh? What's that? Are you saying it moved because of that?" The figure in green attire mocks. Indeed, this is just too... "...But, I moved forward." Upon closer inspection, Salifa's right foot had taken a step forward. She released the ice foot and created another one a step ahead. "......So, wait there." "Ahhhhh, so annoying, so annoying, so annoying, so annoying!!!!" The figure in green throws multiple knives at Salifa. The ice armor blocks them all, but a small crack appears. Next, magic was unleashed, and cracks appeared in the ice armor. Even so, Salifa takes another step forward. "...I'll protect you." It might not have been words that were meant to be heard. However, those words struck a chord in Endens. "Why, to that extent... I... you..." I'm not the kind of person who can be protected. Arrogant and foolish, a weak person. "...because I love you." One step forward again. "...getting back up over and over without giving up" Barely defending against the magic unleashed by the green-clad figure. However, the new ice armor seemed like it would shatter as well. "...the thing about moving forward with Endens." "That's about you, isn't it...!! I, I...!!" If it weren't for Salifa, we wouldn't have made it this far. If Salifa hadn't shown up, I would have given up. "......Endens is not alone." I couldn't help but gasp. "Until you stand up, I'll pave the way." One step forward again. There's no way that kind of magic usage can last long. The armor's strength is continuously decreasing, and Salifa keeps getting injured. I can't watch this anymore. "Salifa, I, I...!!" "......If it's Endens, I can do it." Salifa's back looks unusually large. Ah, that's right. I, a man like this... "......I know, you know." "Ahhh—! Damn it! Die already!!" The green-clad figure, whose irritation had reached its peak, unleashed a massive spell. Salifa was still looking ahead. I can't seem to forgive myself for only being able to watch from behind. But I mustn't look away. "……Behind you, many people follow." I engrave the beautiful sight of you moving forward in my mind. "......Don't forget that." A black torrent approaches. And then, Salifa managed to completely block the magic... Dead. "Salifa... Salifa...!!" "Hah, hah... haha!! What the hell! You acted all cool and tough, but in the end, you just died like a dog!!" Dying like a dog, you say? "In the end, nothing has changed! Nothing has been saved! Serves you right!!" Haven't you changed? Aren't you saving them? "Enough already! Everything is just so annoying!!" Once again, a massive spell is about to be unleashed. There is no way to prevent it. "Your Highness! Your Highness!!" "Damn it...!! I... too...!!" "We have to protect His Highness...!!" I can hear the soldiers' voices very clearly. Remembering Salifa's last words, I realize that I had unconsciously come to accept the sacrifices. Ah, this is no good. With things like this, there's no way I could ever catch up to that man. I can't even stand shoulder to shoulder with Salifa. If time could turn back once more, I won't give up on all lives. First, let's do that. "Die!!!" But, before that... "You too, dieeeeee!! !!!" I will never forgive you for laughing at Salifa's death. Unleash all magic and incinerate everything in front of you, including yourself. I don't know what happened. Let's believe that we have struck back. "I will never give up again...!!" Shot by magic, I died.

Everything is just so annoying!!" Once again, a massive spell is about to be unleashed. There is no way to prevent it. "Your Highness! Your Highness!!" "Damn it...!! I... too...!!" "We have to protect His Highness...!!" I can hear the soldiers' voices very clearly. Remembering Salifa's last words, I realize that I had unconsciously come to accept the sacrifices. Ah, this is no good. With things like this, there's no way I could ever catch up to that man. I can't even stand shoulder to shoulder with Salifa. If time could turn back once more, I won't give up on all lives. First, let's do that. "Die!!!" But, before that... "You too, dieeeeee!! !!!" I will never forgive you for laughing at Salifa's death. Unleash all magic and incinerate everything in front of you, including yourself. I don't know what happened. Let's believe that we have struck back. "I will never give up again...!!" Shot by magic, I died. - Untrodden Battleground

Next

“Charge!!!!!!!”

I’m back.

I managed to come back.

At one point, I even wished for this mysterious phenomenon to end, but now I feel so grateful for it.

“Stoppppppppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!”

From here on, I won’t let anyone die anymore.

“Gather around meeeeeee!!!”

I have no intention of giving up on anything.

For that purpose…

“We will now retreat!!!”

Leaving this place is the best option.

Even if we fight on that magic circle, we have no chance of winning.

The black ogres are just watching us for some reason.

“R-Retreat…?”

The soldiers are agitated.

It’s not surprising. I had steeled myself to enter the forest, and I was just about to launch an attack.

“The enemy is stronger than expected. Fighting here would result in massive damage. My estimates were too optimistic. I’m sorry.”

“Well, it’s not something that His Highness should be apologizing for…!!”

Even though I entered the forest according to my own decision, I had to turn back immediately. I should at least apologize.

“This is not just a retreat. We will lure that ogre to our main base while retreating!”

There was a time long ago when I considered retreating during an attempt.

At that time, I thought that even if I backed down, there was no chance of winning, but the situation has changed.

“Once we leave the forest, we will defeat the enemy!”

Salifa is heading this way.

Then, there is meaning in retreating.

“I will take on the rear guard! Form up and fall back without straying too far!”

“Huh!!”

Alright, here we go.

Let’s raise the signal for counterattack.

“Fire Lance!!”

I cast a greeting spell towards the black ogre.

That became the signal to start the war.

The black ogre, who had dispelled the magic, is looking at us with eyes full of rage.

“GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!”

With a roar, the ogre approaches.

If we can reduce the number of ogres while retreating, that would be great.

“Alright, let’s begin the retreat!”

There are two concerns.

One is a giant snake.

However, based on past experience, the giant serpent appears after the ogres have been defeated. Regardless of the length of the battle, the giant serpent has never intervened when there are still ogres present. In other words, if we can lure the ogres without defeating them, the likelihood of the giant serpent appearing is low.

Another thing is that ridiculous green outfit.

There are many things we don’t know about him, but he didn’t show himself until he managed to hinder our movements. Given that he is currently far from the location of the magic circle, I believe he won’t show himself. However, this is merely an optimistic assumption, so we need to remain vigilant.

“Keil! Don’t go any further away!”

“Yes!”

“Mark! Hold the right flank! There are too many ogres!”

“Understood!”

While restraining the movements of the black ogre, he commanded the retreat. The withdrawal while fending off the pursuing ogres was extremely intense.

However, whether it’s because of the calmness in his heart or the increased concentration, he can clearly understand the battlefield situation. He can even give instructions to each of the soldiers.

Just a little more, just a little more, and we’ll be out of the forest.

“I won’t allow anyone to drop out! Got it? If we get through this, victory is within reach!”

I remember Salifa’s fighting stance.

Once again, I’ll have to rely on you.

The exit of the forest is coming into view.

At the same time, the sight of a reliable man running towards us.

If there’s a next time, I’ll help you.

So, just this once…

“Help me!! Salifa…!!”

“……Yeah, leave it to me.”

Salifa flew over our heads.

Flying right above the ogres,

“……Secret Technique: Meteor Light Bottom”

I cleaved the black ogre in two.

“Carry the injured! Don’t let anyone die!”

Even after arriving at the main camp, I was moving around busily.

The soldiers need to be allowed to rest and prepare for what comes next. Salifa is pursuing the ogres we missed, but even after that, the threat of the giant serpent remains.

For now, I’ve finished giving the instructions.

There are still things to do, but I can finally take a breather.

“Your Highness, why not take a rest as well?”

Mark is looking worried, but that’s not how it can be.

Salifa still hasn’t returned yet.

There are so many things I want to convey.

“Don’t worry about me. Mark, you take a break.”

“Understood. Please don’t push yourself too hard, okay?”

Saying that, Mark walked towards the tent.

On the contrary, I head towards the forest.

And so, I waited for a while at the entrance of the forest.

“…I’m home. The ogre has been defeated.”

Looking not particularly tired, Salifa returned.

For now, I feel relieved about that.

“Sorry for calling you over right away…”

“……No, it’s fine.”

Salifa, as usual, had an expressionless face, but it seemed like she faintly smiled.

“Um, well, you know…”

There must have been a mountain of things I wanted to say.

I haven’t been able to convey my apologies or my gratitude. To begin with, Salifa doesn’t remember anything right now. Still, it’s wrong to remain silent like this.

However, there’s something welling up in my chest, and I can’t put it into words.

Looking at Salifa.

The man who protected me and encouraged me many times.

The man I admired and wanted to catch up to.

“Salifa…!!”

Naturally, tears overflowed.

I had never cried until now.

“Thanks to you, I was saved…!!”

I will become a man worth protecting for you.

And this time, I’ll protect you.

“Thank you…!!!”

With all my feelings, I say this.

The man who despaired at his own powerlessness and overcame it in solitude is no longer here.

Instead of walking as if to atone while carrying a heavy burden, I began to move forward, trying to catch up with the man I admired.

"Gather around me!! Stay alert to your surroundings!!" So far, so good. We are becoming capable of annihilating the ogres without any difficulty. "Salifa! Bring down the ice!" "......Yeah. Ice Rain." Due to Salifa's magic, sparkling ice shards rain down. They are meant to reveal the form of the great serpent, and there is no pain. Nevertheless, to be able to use magic of the fifth tier, Salifa's abilities are truly unfathomable. Up to this point, it's fine. From the appearance of the giant serpent, the seventh attempt. Yes, we have already experienced total annihilation six times. In each of those instances, Salifa died protecting me. I don't understand why she goes that far for me. I don't understand, but her actions are devoid of any hesitation and come from the bottom of her heart, genuinely concerned for my well-being. There has never been anyone who would try to protect me even at the cost of their own well-being. At the same time as feeling ashamed of my own lack of ability, I also feel an unprecedented sense of security. However, this cannot continue as it is. I don't want to remain someone who is just protected by Salifa. After a while, the giant serpent appeared. Due to the icy rain, its figure is emerging. "Salifa, take care of that serpent over there! I'll handle the other one!" "...I understand." "Others, keep watch around! Kill any small snakes you find immediately!!" "Huh!!" Having finished the division of roles, I turn to face the serpent I am in charge of. This should be good. Based on the information obtained from previous trials, we will arrange the formation. Organizing information about the giant snake. The greatest threat is its invisibility. It cannot be seen, and its presence becomes faint, but it has a physical form, so it could be made visible by Salifa's magic. Its attacks mainly consist of bites with its fangs and charges that crush with its massive body. Its movements are swift, making it difficult to land an attack. Moreover, the troublesome part is that most magic does not work on it. This was also the case with Salifa's ice magic. In other words, we have no choice but to continue our steady attacks until we wear them down. However, its massive body also comes with durability, which takes time. Last time, we were too cautious, and our soldiers couldn't contain the small snakes, resulting in total annihilation. Therefore, this time we will attack all at once. "Crimson Sword, First Form" Martial arts passed down in the Olbraim royal family. This swordsmanship, specialized in offense, is suitable for the current situation. "Red Sword, Second Form" Swordsmanship that focuses solely on moving forward does not consider defense. "Crimson Sword, Third Form" Just swordsmanship for the sake of leading the charge and swinging the sword. Merely commanding from the rear is not what the Olbraim royal family does. Their path to dominance is forged by their own hands. "Red Sword, Fourth Form" However, it cannot be established without someone to trust with your back. It is precisely because there are trustworthy people that one can move forward without hesitation. In front of me, a battered giant snake. The mindless sword strikes had finally cornered the great serpent. "......Endens, can you do it?" The voice of Salifa from behind. When I hear this voice, I feel like my energy is being revitalized. "Ah, of course." Up until now, I had been completely relying on Salifa. At least I have to finish it myself in the end. "......Yeah. Then I'll help everyone else." Saying that, Salifa's presence fades away. He should take a break, but he's a diligent man until the very end. Alright, let's finish this. "Final Style: Crimson Lotus Sword" The strike from above cleaved the giant serpent. Finally, with this... "Uh-oh~? Did you get defeated~?" What is it? Whose voice is that? Where is that coming from? "It was a masterpiece, wasn't it? But, I guess it can't be helped..." A voice that doesn't belong on the battlefield can be heard. Sitting on the branch of a large tree was a woman in green attire. "Alright then, time to finish up~" No matter how you think about it, that's the enemy. If we don't eliminate it, bad things will happen. At that moment, when I was about to dash towards the green-clad figure. The battlefield shone, and a magic circle appeared. "〈The World That Entangles Everything: Bind World〉" The installation-type magic activates, and black shadows entwine around the feet. My leg has completely locked up. What is this? From the beginning, were we fighting in the enemy's trap...? I can hear the soldiers' clamoring voices. Are all the ones on this battlefield captured? "Good thing we prepared just in case, right? I'm so awesome!" "......〈Ice Lance〉" From behind, Salifa cast a spell. I see, if it's magic. "Fire Bullet!!" "Ahaha! It's useless, you know~?" Even the magic that was cast was entwined by a black shadow, and it did not reach the green-clad figure. I've never heard of such magic before. "Hmm, are you different? If that's the case, I guess I have no choice but to kill you?" The figure in green garb jumps down from the tree and looks this way. I defeated the ogre, defeated the giant serpent, and made it this far. Even so, in such an incomprehensible situation... "Hehe, you can't move anymore, can you?" Right after the figure in green said that, the black shadow wrapped around his hands and shoulders, completely immobilizing him. "What the hell are you...?!!!" "Ahaha, that's something you don't need to know~" The person in green attire laughed happily and took out a knife. "Okay, bye-bye~" The knife was thrown, but there was no way for me, unable to move, to avoid it. Am I going to die here again? Right after I thought that, In front of me, Salifa's back appeared. "Wh...!!" How did it move? Salifa should have been captured too... "......Endens, are you okay?" "Ah, ah..." "Whoa, what's that? That's gross. Did you cut your own leg?" At the words of the person in green attire, I instinctively look at Salifa's feet. The legs that were already entwined, The lower legs were made of ice. "Salifa, what have you done...!!" "......This is nothing to worry about." Without turning around, Salifa says. There's no way that's true...!! The place was silent. "Ah, it kind of fell flat." The tone of the person in green attire changes. "Anyway, you can't do anything either." That's right, this magic can entangle the entire body... "......〈Ice Armor〉" Just before the black shadow could entwine with Salifa, a beautiful ice armor enveloped her entire body. "......This magic will only entangle a single target, right?" "Huh? So what? In the end, you still can't move." The figure in green attire said that with a displeased expression and took out a knife. "...If I do it this way, I can move." Saying that, Salifa released the ice armor, and the entwined shadows dissipated into mist. However, immediately, the black shadows approached Salifa again, trying to entwine her once more. Just before that, Salifa was once again clad in ice armor. "Huh? What's that? Are you saying it moved because of that?" The figure in green attire mocks. Indeed, this is just too... "...But, I moved forward." Upon closer inspection, Salifa's right foot had taken a step forward. She released the ice foot and created another one a step ahead. "......So, wait there." "Ahhhhh, so annoying, so annoying, so annoying, so annoying!!!!" The figure in green throws multiple knives at Salifa. The ice armor blocks them all, but a small crack appears. Next, magic was unleashed, and cracks appeared in the ice armor. Even so, Salifa takes another step forward. "...I'll protect you." It might not have been words that were meant to be heard. However, those words struck a chord in Endens. "Why, to that extent... I... you..." I'm not the kind of person who can be protected. Arrogant and foolish, a weak person. "...because I love you." One step forward again. "...getting back up over and over without giving up" Barely defending against the magic unleashed by the green-clad figure. However, the new ice armor seemed like it would shatter as well. "...the thing about moving forward with Endens." "That's about you, isn't it...!! I, I...!!" If it weren't for Salifa, we wouldn't have made it this far. If Salifa hadn't shown up, I would have given up. "......Endens is not alone." I couldn't help but gasp. "Until you stand up, I'll pave the way." One step forward again. There's no way that kind of magic usage can last long. The armor's strength is continuously decreasing, and Salifa keeps getting injured. I can't watch this anymore. "Salifa, I, I...!!" "......If it's Endens, I can do it." Salifa's back looks unusually large. Ah, that's right. I, a man like this... "......I know, you know." "Ahhh—! Damn it! Die already!!" The green-clad figure, whose irritation had reached its peak, unleashed a massive spell. Salifa was still looking ahead. I can't seem to forgive myself for only being able to watch from behind. But I mustn't look away. "……Behind you, many people follow." I engrave the beautiful sight of you moving forward in my mind. "......Don't forget that." A black torrent approaches. And then, Salifa managed to completely block the magic... Dead. "Salifa... Salifa...!!" "Hah, hah... haha!! What the hell! You acted all cool and tough, but in the end, you just died like a dog!!" Dying like a dog, you say? "In the end, nothing has changed! Nothing has been saved! Serves you right!!" Haven't you changed? Aren't you saving them? "Enough already! Everything is just so annoying!!" Once again, a massive spell is about to be unleashed. There is no way to prevent it. "Your Highness! Your Highness!!" "Damn it...!! I... too...!!" "We have to protect His Highness...!!" I can hear the soldiers' voices very clearly. Remembering Salifa's last words, I realize that I had unconsciously come to accept the sacrifices. Ah, this is no good. With things like this, there's no way I could ever catch up to that man. I can't even stand shoulder to shoulder with Salifa. If time could turn back once more, I won't give up on all lives. First, let's do that. "Die!!!" But, before that... "You too, dieeeeee!! !!!" I will never forgive you for laughing at Salifa's death. Unleash all magic and incinerate everything in front of you, including yourself. I don't know what happened. Let's believe that we have struck back. "I will never give up again...!!" Shot by magic, I died. - Untrodden Battleground
