I Reincarnated as a Losing Heroine, the Hero’s Childhood Friend Who Lost to the Main Heroine, so I Switched Jobs to Alchemist - Chapter 152 150
Across the “real” staircase beyond the walls that Arnold magically broke.That was, surprisingly, the top of the tower.
The forest where we once broke apart is far below.I can hear the wind blowing, but there is no wind blowing in this space.The strong wind never touches your hair, nor does the faint wind touch your cheeks.What a strange space.
Arnold, who was leading the way, stood up.–Beyond his gaze, a giant monster sat down.A metaphorical expression would be the boss of this dungeon.
I’ve been expecting you.
A monster who greets us with a calm voice that does not resemble his body and bows his head respectfully.The soft waist seemed like a strong man’s leeway, and tension ran among his companions at once.
Everyone hold their weapons. I also held a crossbow at the rear and set my sights on the boss.
Quite a big one in general. Aim well and be able to help at all.
(This will be the last battle here, and no spare…!)
Lukash takes the lead. After that, Vake followed, and Julius entered the follow-up system somewhat behind him.
Arnold and Diona help magically from behind, and I aim for the crossbow from the same position.Malta stepped out in front of us to defend the guard and stared at the boss.
When I called Avour’s name in my heart, an arrow wrapped in red light to respond.Fire arrows. It will be a powerful blow, so it cannot be removed.
(If Lukash’s cooperation breaks down, then….)
Don’t be greedy, wait for it.
Lukash was cut, Julius connected, and Vake struck a powerful blow.In the meantime, Arnold and Diona’s magic attacked the boss, and Malta didn’t miss the moment when the boss’s body swayed. By piercing the dagger into his feet with quick movements, the monster completely fell to the floor.
If you don’t miss this opportunity, Lukash and the others will rush together.But the boulder is the boss of the dungeon, and he ripped off his big arms in a fallen position, keeping Lukash and the others away.
Our attack is temporarily interrupted.The avant-garde wobbled against the monster’s resistance and paved the way.
(Now!)
I set my sights and pulled the crossbow trigger.
With the help of the Spirit, the released arrows go straight to the monster.Along the way, an arrow was wrapped in flames with a bang.The fire’s momentum was more like a fireball than an arrow of fire.
The timing was difficult, but in itself quite significant.I shouldn’t have taken it off.
Gah!
The moment the arrow hits, the monster’s body bursts into flames.Arnold immediately pursued them with flame magic, and the monster was wrapped in flames.
The monster’s roar echoes around. We’re almost there.
The momentum of fire has subsided.Looking at it, Lukash holds his sword.- The monster ran out of power with the brave blow.
(Hey, did it!)
I swallowed the impression that you were unexpectedly stunned.With the remarkable cooperation of the Lukash, we were able to defeat almost any counterattack from the monsters.
The monster’s body turns to ash and disappears.Then the altar appeared, hiding behind the big body of the boss.
It’s probably an altar dedicated to spirits.As Lukash slowly approached, the emblem engraved on the altar-
“Su, thank you for saving me… um…”
A beautiful dragon appeared.This dragon must be Sierro the Spirit of the Sky.
Even though he looks great, he speaks to the brave in shame.
Thank you for saving me… please…
A ball of light appears above Lukash’s head.And he went down, and lifted out his hands, and landed on the palm of his hand.
Out of the light emerged a clear, beautiful stone. –Spirit Stones.
(At last we have all the Spirit Stones!)
While watching the interaction between the childhood familiarity and the Empty Spirit Sierro from behind, I desperately suppressed my feelings of doing so.
We have all the Spirit Stones.Then, the Holy Sword.And if you can get the Holy Sword, you can finally become the Devil.
“Where is the sanctuary where the Holy Sword is sleeping?”
Lukash asks faster than usual.Though Sierro shrunk his body, he desperately explained it with his big mouth.
“I’ll show you around, gentlemen…”
We approach the altar as they say.Looking at it from a close up, Sierro was touched by his splendid appearance with a dragon like the one in the picture.In that case, it seems to have a fairly gentle character, but I think that the spirits are rude to the gap of “cute”.
It seems to be floating a lot without even noticing it.I noticed that I was laughing alone.
As one of his companions, he was able to rescue the last Spirit without major injury.Once you have the Holy Sword, you will go to the Devil. Everything’s fine.
Well then, let’s go…
I thought Sierro-sama signaled with a trembling voice, and my body floated.A floating feeling with a wobbly head. —-It’s mobile magic.
I close my eyes and go through a feeling of levitation that I can’t escape.I felt uncomfortable with a feeling similar to motion sickness, but a few seconds later the soles of my shoes were stepping on the ground.
Slowly open your eyelids. It was in the woods.
“Where are we…?”
“Holy Forest… brave man, near the village where you were born.”
It seems to be near the village where the brave man was born – in the woods near the village of Eme.Usually hidden at the border, there would never be any mistakes for Eme villagers to get lost, but it seemed like an RPG “seemingly” development to come back to the first village at the end.
(It feels like a royal road RPG)
Looking around – I noticed that the old temple was built to welcome us.The stone temple is mossy everywhere, but it seems to be quite sturdy, with no scratches on the walls or pillars.
This is where this temple is sanctuary, where the Holy Sword sleeps.
Sierro walked slowly to the entrance of the temple, showing the stone pedestal in front of the large door.The pedestal has five holes.
Spirit stones on your pedestal……
As I was told, Lukash put on the Spirit Stone.Wind, fire, one flying dirt, and this time the sky.I had to put a water spiritual stone in the middle hole.
“Waffle”
The Spirit of Water Stone remains embedded in the Spirit of Water forehead.
Looks at me like Lukash is in trouble.I also saw Sierro with the Spirit of Water in my arms, asking for help.
“Um, um, on the pedestal, I put her…”
And he thanked Sierro-sama, who answered hastily, and sat the Spirit in a hole where he had to put the Spirit Stone of Water, as instructed.Pretty ugly, but is this going to be okay?
Even though I was so worried, the sparkle and the spirit stone lit up at once.And the door of the temple moved slowly.
The stone door makes a loud noise as it moves.Over time, the path to the sanctuary is gradually revealed.Along the way, I wondered if the Spirit of Water would settle down.
I unintentionally hug the spirits to stop moving.And he stared at the door as it opened.
“It’s open….”
All the stone doors open, and the temple – the sanctuary – becomes visible from the front of the pedestal.
–In the middle of the sanctuary, a single sword was “seated”.
In the middle of a space surrounded by stone walls, there is only one sword.Nothing else.The space was so sharp that it seemed that not even one dust was allowed to exist except for the sword.
However, the only sword that exists in that space attracts attention.The scratch-free sword seemed to be shining, and the simple pattern added more beauty.
It was a beautiful sword. I fell in love with her.
“Is that… the Holy Sword?”
Lukash murmured and slowly stepped into the sanctuary.Sierro answered in pursuit of his back.
“Only the brave can have it… the holy sword that wipes out the darkness.”
Lukash puts his hand on the sword.Other companions stepped into the sanctuary one after the other to see the moment the brave man took the sword at a glance.
As I said, I was watching from afar without entering the sanctuary by myself, holding the spirits of water who were still hanging around, whether they were restless on the pedestal.If the Spirit of Water leaves here, it was an act of thinking that the door might close again.
(At last, the Holy Sword is in hand)
Lukash grabbed the handle of the Holy Sword with both hands and lowered his eyelids.–I pulled the Holy Sword from the pedestal.
The brave raised the holy sword in his hand high.The sight was the image of the brave and the sword, and it was like a painting.
I forgot to breathe for a while, and I was staring at the brave man.
(Dear brave man….)
Friends rush to the brave with joy.He smiled with a dazzling expression, and noticed that a figure stood a little further away from the circle of friends without mixing them.
Dark hair, big back.
Laura!
It was the Spirit of Water who shouted my name.
As soon as I thought, the spirit jumped out in front of me.Then the explosion struck the tympanic membrane.
“Ha, what!?”
Exposed to the impact of the explosion and the gust, I crouch down on the spot.I opened my eyelids and looked ahead to see what had happened as soon as possible.
The first thing I saw was the Spirit of Water.It seems that the Spirit kept me close to the explosion.Had it not been for this juncture, it would have blown up by now.
While thanking him, I learned that the smoke made me unable to see inside the temple.But you can’t move around, and if you raise your voice, you’ll let “someone who caused this explosion” know where you are.I could only wait for the smoke to calm down.
(Lukash! Everyone…!)
Gradually, your vision opens up.I looked for a crossbow in my bag by hand.
Someone with the Holy Sword looked beyond the smoke.I wonder if it’s Lukash. No, it’s not.It’s not Lukash.
“Thank you for the directions.”
Holding the sword in his hand, the figure, Arnold, threw up cold.
“A, Arnold…?”
I stopped thinking for a moment about so much.I didn’t understand the meaning.
Why, why did he use the Holy Sword?What do you mean, directions?Where are your people?
I noticed it there. At Arnold’s feet, a blonde young man is lying tight.
Lukash!
Eye catching. Looks like the others are down near Lukash.
–I wonder what’s going on.Defeat the monster, get the last Spirit Stone, and guide him to the Holy Land.When Lukash thought he finally had the Holy Sword, there was an explosion – why did Arnold have the Holy Sword with only one person safe?
Judging by the situation, Arnold must have caused the explosion earlier.I can’t think of anything else. Then why did he explode?I’m sure it’s to take the sword from the brave.
“Laura! Laura!”
The Spirit of Water barks to bring my consciousness back.Upon returning to me, I noticed that Arnold’s “red” eyes were pointing at us.
– Red?
No, Arnold’s eyes are black.Just like Elvira, it’s almost sucked in black.And yet, why are Arnold’s sharp eyes shining red through us?
– Remember, the memories of the past run through my brain.
Arnold overlapped with the “Last Brave” Demon King.The eyes that stared at us in the final showdown were bright red as if they had sipped living blood.–Yes, like Arnold now.
“No way…..”
No way. Impossible.It’s impossible!
I desperately deny my feelings.But the memory of “me”, and reason, continued to present the “possibility” of not turning away from the sight in front of me.
‘Cause I suppose so. Arnold can’t possibly imitate such a betrayal.I know very well that he is not such a person.Arnold lived hard for his sister and continued to support the brave by crushing his body and heart for the world.And above all, it seems like evidence that those red eyes are “yes.”
Arnold is approaching us with tricks, tricks and footsteps.The Spirit of Water turned himself into a great beast, roaring.Three beasts of similar appearance appear from nowhere.Probably Wentor, Avur, and Rykerland.
I raised my crossbow with trembling hands.Arnold then rounded his eyes slightly.And I opened my mouth.
You’ve taken care of yourself, little girl.
An unfamiliar expression. An unfamiliar word. A voice I don’t know.
– Definitely, he is.
“Demon King…!”
When he called out his name, Arnold – the demon king who took over his body – laughed hard.
