43 – Closer or Farther

Rion was acutely aware of his mistakes.

Death is something I absolutely want to avoid. Never want to face

I’m not talking about your own death. I’m talking about the death of those who will give you death.

They are entrusted with the salvation of oneself in a small way, and the salvation of the world in a large way.

If you die, where is the bigger loss than that? I was entangled in that thought.

So even though they said they dealt with it harshly, they couldn’t.

But not anymore. He himself acknowledged its limitations.

If this is the case, neither Enlil nor Seria will continue to grow.

Those who are not criminals like those women have to overcome even greater adversity.

Only then will there be a driving force for further growth.

Of course, it’s still rough. No, i’m afraid Or do I really want to die?

How can you see the two women who survived the tower dying in awe?

If you watch that scene, you might vomit blood first and collapse.

‘If not dying is a trap, then it must be a trap.’

Rion laughed bitterly and placed the clothes on top of Seria.

“Stop it!”

“I’m sorry, but hold on. Ceria. Even if it feels like your heart is about to burst, even if it feels like your lungs are about to explode.”

As if she knew it herself, her holy woman stirred her arms wildly.

A very disastrous defeat. That’s why I want to win even more.

It’s not just a sense of selfishness, it’s still the will to save the world.

So this process can be said to be indispensable.

“I will do it. Instructor Leon.”

“Are you okay? If anything really happens, I….”

“Since you entrusted it to me, I must take responsibility no matter what happens.”

From Seria’s point of view, who was listening to her conversation, she was astounded.

She thinks she’ll die without adding a single joke.

She said that in front of him, people exuding a strange atmosphere were talking.

If it wasn’t for her mana practice training, she might have grumbled to be moderate. She

She says that she is not a folding screen or a bench, but a person who listens to everything.

“… Okay. If you were on the verge of death, you would be better off than me.”

“I will do my best to produce meaningful results.”

“If that’s true, I will do anything you ask for.”

At the moment, Enlil’s eyes twinkle and put Leon in her eyes.

Really? It was full of inner feelings that you shouldn’t change your words later.

“It’s really everything, unless it’s weird. I’m not going to ask if it’s true.”

Leon walked away from the training ground with a smile on his face.

If you’ve decided to trust Enlil, it’s true that she doesn’t even show signs of worrying anymore.

Even these little things will help her improve her skills in the future.

‘And it will be a reason to burn the flames of great anger at the end of the last.’

Suddenly, I think that the person himself is an incurable piece of trash.

He made excuses for being treated so well, but in the end it was for himself.

Even later, when Enlil found out the truth about her, she would even try to kill herself.

It’s bittersweet. It’s embarrassing. It’s annoying and I’m going crazy, but I can’t help it.

What can I do? It’s an excuse, but it’s also true. The world is not far away now.

‘Now let’s see if it gets longer… A little over half a year left.’

People don’t know, but the owner of the tower, Leon, feels more and more deeply.

The tower is shaking. I’m not trying to collapse, but I’m trying to increase the power even more.

However, there is no available space. When this happens, I will spit it all out.

From noble mtl dot com

Yes. That moment is the day when the world recorded in the prophecy will be reduced to ashes by chaos.

The end of the world is right around the corner. This is something even Leon can’t do.

It is said that he is the owner of the tower, but the demon beasts do not dare to raise their heads.

Looking at it in a big way, it is also one of the fragments of chaos. Only the darker and bigger of them.

You can never be free from the chaos itself to come.

There is only one way to cut through that chaos. Knocking down the tower.

In order for the tower to collapse, the owner must be defeated within the tower.

Those who have a duty to fulfill are right there.

“Huh! hehehe! Khehehehe!”

“Be patient with me a little longer, saintess. Not even five minutes have passed yet!”

“….”

Still, blocking the mana circulation for nearly five minutes must have been a bit too much.

*

In conclusion, Enlil’s method was miraculously effective.

Seria’s mana flow, which had not even noticed a change no matter what he tried, changed.

She tried to kill the circulation of mana through her skin, so it seemed that the instinct to live without her knowledge had changed her body.

Thanks to that, Seria’s situation, which had been unable to enter the stadium, let alone her starting line, was improved.

She barely entered the arena, now she’s ready to start, jump as hard as she can and run my run.

‘Standing on that starting line won’t be easy, though.’

It’s not like a day or two has passed. More than a month has passed since the uproar.

In the meantime, Enlil and Seria each ascended to the tower once more, and again challenged Leon.

Of course, both of them were beautifully defeated and thrown out again.

“Whoops. Whoop whoop!”

The moment he was driven out of the tower, Enlil laughed.

Something that never happened. But now it’s going to continue to happen.

She was smiling because she managed to do something she could never have imagined.

“Instructor! Finally, finally! I landed a hit on him! He wounded the arm of the arrogant!”

You cut my arm the other day. It wasn’t as big as it is now.

Even if it was just a slight cut, it should be considered a valid hit after all. Leon had barely endured the itching of the word

.

With the words of congratulations, he left the words to work harder and be more nervous.

“You must be very careful from now on, Enlil. He must have realized the seriousness of the situation. He let me go because he said it was the mercy of the great and strong, but he’s starting to get nervous, so he might not give me that opportunity anymore.”

Of course, he never intended to do that, but from Enlil’s point of view, it was quite possible.

So I gave a sneaky warning, and Enlil thought so too, so I clung to training right away.

There is only one reason why I have to say this. That’s because it’s only half a year left.

Seria finally got a feel for Enlil’s training to and from the threshold of hell, but she still has a long way to go.

Among the other candidates heading for the tower, there were people who knew how to start mana training, but with that alone, the limits were clear.

Something I always feel. All that remains now is Enlil. Only she hopes.

It’s good right now, but I want to become a little bit faster and definitely stronger.

So, since then, I have been giving her the same training as her real battle.

“Me, Instructor.”

Enlil appeared quietly from the side and called for Rion.

It’s obvious without looking at it. He must be fighting with a real sword and wrapped in mana.

Practical training will tell you more than just training.

Thanks to this, Leon had to deal with Enlil while sweating inside.

It’s a problem to expose the injured part, but it’s a bigger problem if the power of the main body comes out.

I used to use some of the mana as a wall to prevent that from happening in the first place.

“Let’s play a round today. Wait a bit I have some work to do….”

“No. Today is a little different.”

Other things? What else?

Enlil wiggled her fingers as Leon looked at him with such a question.

“You promised that last time. If the training of the saintess succeeds, they will grant you a favor.”

“… Ah. It did. It was.”

I was oblivious to the fact that both Enlil and Seria were growing little by little.

I almost became an instructor who only made promises and shut his mouth.

“Sorry, Enlil. I must have forgotten for a moment. So, what is that request?”

“Wait a minute with me… I wanted you to come with me.”

“As much as you like. Where are you thinking of going?”

Then Enlil put a slightly embarrassed smile on his lips.

“Enlil?”

“Where to go… I don’t know exactly.”

“You don’t know?”

Let’s go somewhere together but don’t know the destination?

Enlil removed her lips as Leon blinked her eyes.

“Well, I don’t want to go ‘where’… Because going with ‘someone’ itself is more important.”

The moment the words

Flowed out of Enlil’s mouth.

Leone, who was staring blankly at her, avoided her gaze without realizing it.

The moment she spoke with Enlil, she noticed it almost instinctively.

Ah, it shouldn’t be like this. It’s really hard to think otherwise.

I was able to endure those long years that would have been enough for me to go crazy with just one thought of wanting to go back.

Why did he try to blunt that determination even for a moment?

“You said rest is part of training. That’s why I’m begging you.”

When Leon’s answer was delayed, Enlil hurriedly added the reason.

It’s not because I want to rest or there’s something else, it’s just an extension of my training.

“… That, I think the other cadets should also take care of it.”

“Ah. Is that so? Okay. Sorry. I don’t even know that.”

It was Enlil who immediately gave up on his intentions, saying that he would understand if there were circumstances.

Rion, who was looking at that figure, only bit her lip in embarrassment.

If by any chance this action creates a gap for Enlil.

If you fight in the tower and get bad things because of that gap.

Wouldn’t it be yourself who suffers the most loss?

When she thinks like that, her determination to take a step away dulls.

No, maybe this is what I hoped for.

“Not today or tomorrow, but in two days.”

In the end, instead of backing down, I took a step closer.
