'Aa, I see' Claudia understood inside her hazy consciousness
The tiuy" who took away both her parents let only herself escaped It was the ti ti and thunderous wind hit her ears The wind that caressed her skin accoony and the dull pain in her solar plexus were gradually awakening her consciousness
Claudia groaned while slowly opening her eyes She was in a state where her consciousness was still half in the dreaony, and the intense out of place feeling that gave her the sense of weightlessness was pushing her consciousness rapidly to the surface
「――kuh」
Her consciousness that beca around her torso That sensation, presence thatsick in display of her soul's rejection of that thing that was just too repulsive
『The ti that was unthinkable to come from this world reached her ears
It wasn't a dream It wasn't a voice that could be heard froht now!
「――!?」
Claudia raised a soundless screa the red alert alar her consciousness
『The false kings has vanished, the annoying seal was undone My e, Claudia The body that will give birth toscratched by claw resounded once more Just from that, it felt like hu voice was just too blaspheaze was a nightmarish reality
"Shadow" A condensed "shadow" that took the shape of hu out from the cracks of the "shadow" Its eyes, mouth, nose, were existences shaped by hell fire The left ar Claudia's body!
「You are-――kafuh, cough-!?」
Claudia opened her eyes wide and tried to say so, but the dull pain on her solar plexus caused her to cough
At the same time, that dull pain shook her memory back
「-, Aziz! Au carried by the thing's arm She could only see storm of bloody wind and desolated townscape The people she was looking for, weren't there
But, the answer unexpectedly came from her arch-enemy
『Kakaka- If it's that human, he already beca useful』
「A, aa, such thing……」
"That huuessed that it undoubtedly referred to Aumale
Aumale Garret He was Claudia's comrade and also her subordinate And then――the "traitor" who caused the incident this tiether with Aziz she hurried to the "hall of n world――to "hell" in a hurry
Auate" was loosening, that at that rate the "gate of hell" would open
But, as reflected on the eyes of Claudia who arrived at that hall was the "ate" with its seal in pristine condition
When Claudia was going to ask as the uished voice which entered Claudia's ear
When she turned around to see what happened, she saw the figures of the two clinging on each other as though they were eh, when Aziz turned around just like Claudia to ask as going on, Auer brother fell on his knees
They weren't related by blood However, since the time he was taken in when he was a child with sih he was her little brother And that beloved little brother of her was sinking on his own puddle of blood
Why? Why, Aziz was collapsing? Why, a knife was stabbed into his sto out like that?
Claudia as unable to i in front of her eyes screamed to call out at Aziz Aumale smoothly approached her as like that
What Claudia reht after that on her solar plexus, and how the "Heavenly Light Cross" she carried was taken and throay
There, Claudia was taken aback with surprise and felt around her chest Because she was ht Cross", she confir 'could it be', but……
The result that was just as expected caused blood to leave fro for?』
「! Return it!」
Even though Claudia understood that it was pointless, hable, she couldn't help but to yell it
So out from the shoulder of the "shadow" had an antique reddish brown cross with chain attached dangling from there That was exactly the reason why Claudia's face went pale It was the secret treasure that only Claudia was per It must not be handed over to the ene at Claudia's agitation, she slowly closed her eyes
She wasn't giving up
It was the reverse
It was for fighting
She had no weapon and also no cohtmarish scene of her childhood was carved into her heart, she had determined, resolved, and prepared herself!
「――Oh Lord, please hear the prayer of Thy child Please grant Thy co voice within mine heart Please bestow the divine protection to Thy devout believer――」
It was the manifestation of power that could only be used by very little part of people even within the organization Claudia belonged too The exercise of ht wrapped around Claudia and burned the ar her!
But,
『Kakaka- Good, struggle It's a delicacy』
The unbothered sneering laugh and hell fire that was mixed with blackness coiled around Claudia And then, an even more intense pressure assaulted Claudia An unpleasant sound rang out froh her brain
「Kuh!? ――Oh Lord, I beg You to cut down the evil of the wicked, and help the righteous to stand firmly The shield of God protects me Those with just heart is saved by God」
But, Claudia didn't stop praying She wouldn't stop just because of pain
The gentle phosphorescence wrapping around Claudia like firefly light was increasing in radiance, causing the arm of the "shadow" to smoke white
In front of such Claudia, the lu your mother?』
「-!?」
The prayer that caused h she immediately restarted,
『How horrible you are, Claire You are still planning to torment your father?』
「Sto, stop!」
She missed those voices, and yet those voices contained hatred that stopped her prayer for sure this tiures of her dear mother and father The tho only had their head left
She got flashback of that day's scene To shake it off, Claudia tried to strengthen the power ofas pained in proportion with her effort
「u, aa――」
Shadow loomed over her determination frohtn world and the "shadow" showed her
She understood
But,
『Stop it, Claireee』
『Please, don't hurt us even more than this』
To think, that her heart was this weak Claudia harbored an e her words of prayer co hell fire It burned Claudia's skin as though to say that it was her punishreatest flesh that will conceive h it wouldn't destroy the body, it seemed it didn't mean that it wouldn't torment her Unpleasant voice that was smeared with sadism and scorn scorched the wound
Burn scar that was like as carved on Claudia's body like a seal Intense pain blocked her throat Far fro, even her will of resistance was messed up
Small tears spilled out from Claudia's eyes
The tears that were i by the bloody eren't because of the pain, but because of her ent study for more than ten years for the sake of this day
She repressed the negative eth to the "shadow", in order to fight with heart of purity and unselfishness, in order to negate the night inside her heart
And yet, she couldn't do anything
Because she was betrayed by a person who she believed in Because she witnessed her little brother was lethally wounded Because she didn't have any weapon in hand
She couldn't even make those excuses
She believed that she could do ent study and experience she had accumulated, her daily prayers, and her faithful heart, she believed that she had been bestoith the strength to overcorant th-」
『Kakaka-』
She asked for salvation to God pleadingly, but what caht of salvation didn't shine down――
(O Lord, on't You answer me……)
She couldn't hear God's voice――
Then, at the very least,
(……Please, please)
She wanted to be punished as soreat sinner for iven punish unable to resist evil
And then, she prayed for salvation even if only slightly to her coht until the bitter end――
『……?……Human?』
That call wasn't directed to Claudia
The "shadow" suddenly stopped Even while gasping in pain, Claudia somehow lifted up her face And then, she understood even within her hazy mind It wasn't her as addressed
The "shadow" looked around the surrounding suspiciously
Right after that, there were countless sounds of slicing wind!
『!?』
The "shadoept its ar its arm's trajectory, a whip of hell fire flew and struck down the countless things flying toward it
One of the things stabbed ahead of the gaze of Claudia as being held
It was a short sith shape that Claudia had never seen before A blade of extended diauardless handle attached, at the end of the handle it becah it was jet black colored as though to absorb light, for so faintly
「This is……」
Her eyes opened wide She understood even though she had never seen it before It was a short sword that was suitable to be thrown even while containingthat shouldn't be used by the existence of this foreign world
Yes, it was a "weapon that hu?」
A hu man It came from the other side of the bloody wind in front
「I don't know the situation, but let me say that I cannot admire this Learn some more about the way to escort woman」
The "shadow" narrowed its eyes quietly
Claudia too was also directing her gaze toward the voice in surprise
Like that, he appeared
「Although, perhaps this warning is a bit too harsh for you whose figure is only like a shoddy portrayal……in any case, this is a request froeous little brother I'll have you return that wo out frolasses and thealure walking calet that this was a foreign world that was like hell
She thought that her coure didn't exist within Claudia's er than her but……
Thata turn adroitly for solasses sharply He crossed his ar pose! Just why in the world!
Claudia's brain was flooded with questions!
The "shadoung its hell fire ith no question asked Perhaps the whip broke through sound barrier instantly, because it left the bursting sound PAN- in its wake, arriving at its target within an instant
Normally, the youth would be struck by the hell fire ithout even any tiot burned to ash, or his body would be bisected and his life ca Claudia orn-out froh of the "shadow" that was filled with delight which he could hear while he was approaching the two of the hot short sword
The eyes of the "shadow" snapped wide open And Claudia was also the san world and the worinned fearlessly――and declared
「From here on, unreasonableness will be perfor in front of the abyss and fall to ruin」
Claudia thought
'Aa, rant salvation to this one
But, o Lord
Please, telland posing like that?'
