...What?
　Those words leaked out of my mouth.

　The brave man of light (Sagarikun) lost?
　You defeated the Demon King in a single blow, Sakurai-kun?

Oh no...
　I can hear Furiae's muttering.

　I can't believe it, but Sakurai-kun, who was blown up behind us, is lying on the ground.
　This is real.

''Ryouske!''
　Yokoyama-san screamed and ran to Sakurai-kun, using the recovery tool.
　However, there is no sign of him regaining consciousness immediately.

　

''Then let's take the moon maiden.
　It was me and Lucy who responded to those words.


　--Spirit's right hand.


　My right arm glows blue and my magic (mana) gathers.

"King-class ice magic, ice phoenix!
"King-class fire magic, flaming phoenix!　
　I, who needed a little time to activate it due to the power of the spirits, and Lucy's royal grade magic, which required spell chanting, were released at the same time.

　Like a giant blue and red phoenix intertwined, it stabbed into the brave man of the sun.

　''Gow!　And then an explosion occurs with a sound.
　It was a power that convinced me that even a dragon could be buried with a single blow.
　But.........

It's a bit of a stretch, isn't it?
　A brave man of the sun, who hadn't suffered a single burn, appeared from the explosion.
　Unharmed by that attack!

''Moon Priestess, don't put up a fight.
"?
　Suddenly, a brave man in the sun moved right behind us.
　I can't see him at all!

Let go of me!　.... "Enchantment" is not working?　Why!
　Furiae-san is struggling with her arms.
　When Saasan and I tried to help her up.

　Don!　and I found myself blown a few feet away.
　I tasted blood in my mouth.
　My whole body was screaming in pain.
　Lucy fell next to me, blood dripping from her lips.

'Lucy!　Are you okay?
I'm fine.
　He looks distressed, but he's conscious.

　Sa-san has been blown to the other side.
　What did they do to you...?

You!　The Moon Priestess is under the curse of vengeance.　As long as you hurt me, I'll hurt you too!　If you kill me, you will die too!
　Friae yelled.

　'Yes!
　Mr. Furiae had the 'Curse of Retribution'!

　Hearing this, the brave man of the sun scratched his head in a troublesome manner.

''The curse doesn't work on me, you know.
Let go of me!　d*mn you, you stupid power!
Shut up!
Ugh!
　The Sun Brave grabbed Friae by the neck.
　What did she do?

Oh.
'See, what happened to the Curse of Retribution?　I'm not going to lose my head, though?
　The brave man of the sun is laughing merrily.

　The bastard who takes pleasure in strangling women!
　Just as he was about to explode with anger and was about to use spirit magic - there was a figure that moved ahead of him.

''This!　Let go of Fu-chan!
　The seven-colored Sa-san struck at the hero of the sun.


　--'Action Game Player' skill invincibility time.


　Sa-san's special move.
　This attack should get through to him!

"Law.
　The brave man of the sun, who had been grinning all along, changed his expression for the first time.
　He looked interested.

''Interesting. You've got one foot in the divine realm.''
　The brave man of the sun stopped Sa-san's fist from being defeated.

"....
　Sa-san's expression twisted in frustration.
　He was able to stop the Invincible Time punch!
　The invincible time attack that nullifies all defenses!

''Hmm, you're going to feel some pain.
　The brave man of the sun (Alexandre) twisted his face in displeasure.

''Then it's my turn to be the next one.
　The fists of the sun's brave men shone in seven colors.
　No, it flared up.
　That was like Sa-san's invincible time........

　A chill ran through me.
　No, I can't take that attack........

''Sa-san, run!
Late, late, late.
　The sun brave mocked my cry.

　The next moment, the sun brave's thrust, like a flash of light, pierced Sa-san.
　A horrible sound of a thud reached my ears.

''Kyaaaaaah!''
　It was Lucy who screamed.

　The sun's heroic fist pierced (...) through (...) Sa-san's stomach (...) part (...).


　...What's going on?


　My brain didn't understand what was happening in front of me.
　Haha, Sa-san spat out a lot of blood and convulsed.

　Sa-san, Sa-san...?
　You're lying...

No, you killed it...
　The sun's brave voice brought me back to myself.

　At that moment, Sa-san's body glowed white and suddenly disappeared.

''Ah........''
　Lucy let out a small voice.

　That was probably the 'Remaining Machine' skill of Sa-san's 'Action Game Player' triggered.　
The calm part of her in 'Clearing Water' told her so.


　But already.........I had lost my normalcy.


''Ah.............................''
　Friae is grabbed by the neck, bubbling and nearly losing consciousness.

　Lucy next to her is crying and chanting the next magic spell.
　It's a holy class magic chant.
　He probably won't be able to understand it.
　No, he might be killed before he finishes chanting.

　Sakurai-kun is still lying on the ground.
　Yokoyama-san isn't going to be able to move either.


　........Noah-sama?
.............
　No response.



　--100% clearing water


　Something....................
　



'Will you dedicate yourself to defeat the brave man of the sun (Alexandre)?'

　Yes, sir.
　No.



　I didn't hesitate.
　It was the only thing I could do.

　This is the only way to beat up the bastard who killed Sa-san.
　Glancing over, I see Lucy next to me, shivering and chanting a spell.

"...I'm sorry, Lucy.
Well, Makoto...?
　I made a small apology to my companion.

(Sorry Master Noah.)
　I confessed to the Goddess.

(..................! ........)
　The voice of reply did not reach me.

　I placed Goddess Noah's dagger on my right arm - the seal emblem drawn with Noah's "divine energy" - and shattered it with my God-killing blade.

　The magic of "Spiritualization" that had stopped due to Noah-sama's miracle begins to invade my body.

　From my right arm to my shoulder, and my body begins to glow blue.
　I didn't stop it.



　--I'm going to save the princess and give me the power to defeat the sun brave (that guy).



　I poured a lifetime into self-destructing magic and prayed to .........
