285-Keys ④




 Quickly, Mizuho pulls in the wind spirit and releases a Kamitachi towards Julian.
 As if to match it, Yi Cheng shoots a rapid fire bullet from behind.
 Then he was prevented from being blocked by a strong wind that fell like a downburst from above.

''What!?''

 Looking up at the sky above, Mizushige shot down Mizuho's attack.
 In addition, Marion used a barrier to block the strong winds that were attacking Mizuho and the others.

''Sanzenin Mizushige! That place!

I'll go.

 As Alfred said this, he grabbed his sword and tried to move, but the earth shook and distorted, preventing him from moving.

''You'd better not! If you attack me now, the jutsu will go off and we'll all die. Mizushige, you protected everyone in a way, right?

 I know that the words Julian says as he squeezes them out aren't a lie. That's how much pressure I feel in that monstrous art.

(.........I have no choice but to do it.)

 A horrific scene in the demon world spread in Yuto's mind.
 Yuto has seen it.
 Before the great war in the demon world, the demon gods had set up and manipulated him to create a world where they could not trust each other.
 The demon gods fed on the distrust, fear, resignation, and distortions of humans and human beings to accumulate their power.
 At that time, it was becoming the most comfortable environment for the demon gods and demonkind.
 And when the weak and the strong lost their goals and could no longer find hope in the world, the demon gods invaded the entire human race.
 Lieselotte and the other Yuto realized their aim and desperately resisted, but in the end they were unable to stop the war that involved the entire human race.
 But.........
 In the midst of his despair, he had many close friends and rivals who had fought for their lives, valuing faith and relying on love.
 What Lieselotte had done was not in vain.
 The seeds of hope sown by Lieselotte had blossomed just before the Great War.
 Immediately after the war began, there were five groups of people as the maximum strength of the human race, and in addition to them, Lieselotte and his team, which included Yuto, were to be deployed on each front.
 The plan was as follows.
 The plan was to deploy the five largest forces on all fronts, create a stalemate on the battlefield, and deliver Masato to the king who united the demon gods during that time.
 The images of that time came back to Yuto.
 The human race has no time to spare. The lives of the strongest force in the demon world are also cheap.
 While sacrificing his friends, he avoided attrition, gritted his teeth, cried tears of blood, and arrived at the destination, the figure of the king of the demon gods.

(Demon King........Parsus!)

 Yuto had never forgotten that figure.
 And now, he could sense a slight hint of that Parsus from Julian.

But.........)

 

(Maybe it's not that simple. There's definitely a connection to the demon world. No way.........that they are behind these guys.......)

 Yuto stretched out his arms holding a white and silver sword with a white flange and a jet-black long blade [ETOBAI].
 ETIbai and ETI-Kuro's blades glowed suspiciously.
 ETIbai draws spiritual power and ETI-Kuro searches for magical power to draw.
 Both swords were waiting for the spiritual and magical power hidden inside Yujin.

(If that's the case! I can't leave any stone unturned! This whole world matters! (And if you need more unsealing...)

 That's what he thinks, but at this moment Yuto is thinking of..........his friends and acquaintances.
 Mari, Mizuho, Marion, Marion, Nina, Ichigo, Shizuka...............and the winning girls.
 They're all important to Yuto now........irreplaceable people.

(Still! I'm Yuto Du Du. I'm the trueborn son of the Du Du family. I'll be the King of Du Du! (Even if that makes everyone forget about you!)

 At that time when the fierce flames lit up in Yuto's eyes........
 A gentle haze appeared over the entire square.
 That white, sparkling haze drifted over the entire square and began to envelop it.

''What is this...?

 Mizuho and Marion, who had been watching Yuto's back, noticed this situation. At the same time, all the people in the square looked up at this phenomenon.

''What's with this unpleasantness in the air!

 Julian, who had finally completed the jutsu and was now trying to unleash it, looked blatantly uncomfortable.
 Mizushige's shaped eyebrows knit together in the sky above and his eyes narrowed.
 The haze was followed by the sound of a pleasant bell with a shamble.
 Noticing that the sound was coming from the direction of the Shitenji family's heavyweight seat, Mizushige turned around.

''Mother!''

 The heavyweight seats are set up like a Noh stage, surrounded by men with flutes, bells, and tsukumi (tsukumi). At the center of the stage, Akane, dressed like a heavenly maiden, performs a dance.
 Behind Zhu Yin, Zamanosuke Kamizen and Soun Omine were waiting with mysterious faces, and Zhu Yin's dance was elegant and incendiary, but also had a solemnity to it.
 Witnessing the spirit maiden's dance, the spirit messengers felt the power and courage that rose up within them. When touched by the haze, they feel a sympathy that makes them lose track of the boundary between the spirits and themselves.
 It can be considered that this is exactly what all the spirit users here have become, a few ranks above them.
 Furthermore.........they all huff and puff.

''This! Yuto?
Eugene?
Yuto-kun!
"My son-in-law!

 Touching the haze, the strong feelings of the humans who had put themselves in battle seemed to be vaguely shared.
 The feelings of those who had a particularly strong will and determination could be felt. I don't know what exactly it is. It's just that the feelings can be felt.
 As Zhu Yin danced the dance, she smiled.

''Now, as the spirits go........ Now that you know what to do, the spirit masters should follow their thoughts. We will protect those who tried to protect everyone.

 The expressions of the spirit users in Shitennji changed.

''The remnants of the demons will be hit by Omine Tohrule, Luna's troops in front of the gods! Everyone else is going to the son-in-law's place! Defend that enemy's art!

 Ming Liang gave the command, and the spirit masters of Shitenji, who seemed to have a splendid level of skill, started to move.

''Yuto! Wait!

 Mizuho yells at Yuto to scold him.
 Marion then jumped on Yuto's right arm.

''Yuto-san!''

 Here, Yuto turns around in surprise.

'No! This is not the time to talk about... what? Is this...?

 Yuto seemed to be so focused on his enemy Julian that he didn't notice the phenomenon that covered the square.
 Furthermore, he could feel a dignity he had never felt before from the Mizuho in front of him.
 In Marion's eyes as she looked up at herself with tears in her eyes, there was a strength that was filled with a firm will, and Rafael's vestments that glowed emerald green seemed to make Marion fly to greater heights.

''Yuto-san will soon try to do it alone! As I've said many times, it's a really bad habit!

'Yuto! I ask. You don't have time for this, do you? Just answer the question.

 Mizuho says as she looks forward.

'That was so bad.

 Yuto answered Mizuho's question without a moment to think.

''Yeah, that one.......could easily blow up this whole vast area. And if it's the same as what I have in mind, the person who ate it will be mentally ill.

All right. Will that prevent it?

'I don't think we can do it all. We'll have to try to counter-annihilate it, or have it released into the sky. Even if we annihilate them with an attack of equal power, the aftermath will take its toll.

I'm sorry, that's not very nice.

....

 Yuto exhaled heavily and looked at Mizuho and the others.

''So ... I'll do it. And then I'll beat those guys too.

You can't do that.

No.

 Yuto's eyes widen as Mizuho and Marion respond immediately.

''Why, why...! Now.....

If you're willing to pay for the memory of you, it's because it's too expensive! Not that I'm going to forget it!

'Yes, sir! It's not worth it at all! I'll never forget it either.

"...and...?

 Masato is taken aback by the unexpected answer.
 But as soon as he tries to open his mouth.

"This is not good........Yuto. You are the only one who is overly concerned. I think you should take it easy on yourself.

What?
Yeah?
Yeah!

 Suddenly, he was surprised to see a joking masked figure enter the conversation from below.
 There was ...............twenty years old.
 Ten-chan sighed and folded his arms.

''So-ah! Why are you protecting us, you're the one who's leading us to the front lines of danger?

No, the house is a bit large. I don't know which way to go, so I'll just ask...

You idiot! Stupid! Obviously, we could die! What if the Huang family's direct lineage is wiped out! I won't call you Grandfather anymore!

'Ouch! Ow! Wait, wait, wait.

 Akihana had made countless plunges today.
