I Reincarnated as a Losing Heroine, the Hero’s Childhood Friend Who Lost to the Main Heroine, so I Switched Jobs to Alchemist - Chapter 153 151
The children who lie in the sanctuary.Not Arnold, but the Demon King, who was kicking them in the footsteps.
When did Arnold take over his body from the Demon King?I thought about it when I fell apart in the woods before I was set foot in the tower of Cielo.Perhaps the Demon Lord set up a trap that was scattered by magic in order to take over the body of one of his allies from the beginning.
But after thinking about it, I can’t do anything now.
The demon king narrowed his red eyes and looked at the holy sword in his hand.
This is the Holy Sword?
At that moment, I murmured satisfactorily.With a loud noise, the Holy Sword rejected the Devil’s hand.
The Holy Sword fell to the ground when the Demon King let go of his hand.
”I’ll say no… or I’ll say no.”
The Demon King’s gaze was turned towards the Holy Sword that fell on the ground and strayed from us.Don’t miss the gap, the Spirit of Water, who has become a beast, peels off his fangs and flies.
Waff!
“Out of my way.”
–But the Demon King paid me lightly by hand.
The body of the Spirit of Water strikes the ground.Cang, desperately suppressed the body that was about to rush to the spirits that made a painful noise.
In front of me, Wentor-sama stood up to protect me.But if you take the Spirit of Water from the Demon King who lightly treats it with his right hand, honestly, it won’t buy you any time.The same goes for the crossbow arrow.
What am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to do?
(If the Demon King, the prototype might work)
A prototype that has succeeded in expelling the Demon King, who was parasitic to Elvira’s body.Because it also works against monsters, I always carried it in my bag in case something happened.
If we can get Arnold to drink the prototype somehow, we may be able to get the Demon King out of his body, just like before.
To do that – we need to stay close.
I held the prototype in my right hand and removed the bag from my shoulder.It would be better if you were a little light.
The Demon King is approaching.Once in a while. Should we set it up or wait?
Eating teeth that make too much noise with fear.I stared at the Demon King. Prepare yourself!
Lukash, who was supposed to have collapsed a few moments before I kicked him into the ground, stepped on the ground to penetrate it.
“Get away from Laura!”
A brave man!
The Demon King used magic to play Lukash’s sword.He held the holy sword in his hand, which was supposed to fall to the ground.
It was then Vake who cut the Demon King.Without any hesitation, he waved his sword at Arnold’s body.
“Wake up, Arnold!”
Vake’s powerful strike blew Arnold’s body toward the tree.However, on the verge of being struck by Daiki, the Demon King regained his posture.Once the right arm, which would have been attacked by Vake, drooped according to gravity without force.
In that painful appearance, I lose my words.
Arnold, Arnold, wake up.
Arnold!
When I realized it, I was shouting the name.Arnold’s shoulders would then shake.I thought uuuuu, he gripped hard around his heart and curled himself.
–Perhaps Arnold, who had been taken over by the Demon King, was desperately resisting.
“Lady! Keep calling!”
That’s how Wake pushes in again.I repeated Arnold’s name as I was told.
There was nothing wrong with Vake’s sword.I’m sure he’s ready.In the unlikely event, I will cut off all Arnold’s demon kings.
–But I definitely don’t like that.There are people waiting for him to return.He is a man who must live from now on.A lot of people need it.It’s not a good place to end up like this!
“Stay out of my way!”
The Demon King shouts. Vake’s body was struck by magic against the temple wall.I looked at you in a hurry, but it seemed that Vake had lost consciousness with frustration.
We need to get better. I think so, but I can’t move in front of the Demon King.
The Demon King’s red eyes captured Lukash.I suppose you planned this to destroy the Holy Sword in the Sanctuary and destroy the brave.If so, the plan alone must be stopped no matter what happens.
Looking back at Lukash, the hand holding his holy sword trembled.Of course. He who is too kind must be hesitant to cut off his people.Besides, he was injured in the first explosion.
I stood between the Demon King and Lukash.Laura and I were called by their names from behind, but they didn’t look back.
Out of the way, little girl.
The Demon King squeaks his jaw.I shook my head and called Arnold “inside” with a trembling voice.
“Arnold! What about Elvira!She’s been waiting for you to come home! ”
Demon King – Arnold’s eyes twitched.For a moment, my legs also stopped.
Definitely. Arnold is now desperately fighting the Demon King.His consciousness is still there.
Bright red eyes like sipping human blood.My feet tremble with fear.But definitely, Arnold is behind those eyes.
“What happens to the promise that your parents will take you to the Elf Village with Luca?!”I’m sure Arnold was the one who supported my dream of helping the town’s blenders, even though I still owe him a proper thank you! ”
I didn’t know what I was talking about.Still, without interruption, I called Arnold inside the Demon King.
You can’t just leave me here to die.What am I supposed to tell Elvira?Did your brother die for this world?Was it a splendid end? Such words are no consolation to me!
Even Elvira, Mr. Merzedes, the Master, and even Lukash and his travel companions, even if they could save the world, if Arnold were dead, they would have to live with a big hole that they couldn’t bury for the rest of their lives.- Yeah, me too.
“Are you going to kill someone you care about with your own hands, Arnold?”
Lukash shouted behind him. He was crying at the corner of his eyes and trembling with anger and sadness.
Slowly, Arnold’s body shakes.Lukash withered his voice and shouted too much.
“You’ll regret it for the rest of your life!Being manipulated by the Demon King to betray us, to put someone dear in his hands!Even if the world keeps telling you you’re a hero, I won’t forgive you forever! ”
Lukash was crying worn out.The feeling of tears slipping down my cheeks made me realize that I was crying too.
I get used to childhood before me.The hand holding the sword was no longer trembling.
I managed to regain my posture while being protected by the fluttering Lukash.Loosen the lid of the container containing the prototype and stared at the Demon King ─ ─ At that moment, Arnold’s body shook heavily.
And then…
“You said it yourself for a long time.”
–I heard a bass that I couldn’t hear.
Lift your face up. Your eyes seeped with tears, and you didn’t see it right away.
The demon king in front of him— Arnold turned around his heart and turned his face toward us.The colour of his eyes was black.Black, not red!
Lukash rushed to Arnold in a hurry.I was surprised and relieved, and I couldn’t get up immediately.
Arnold, my consciousness…
Lukash tried to ask if he was back.But more and more, Arnold pushed me, and the words broke off on the way.
Ah, Arnold?
Arnold laughs bitterly at Lukash, who casts a bewildered voice.I thought, a large magical formation appeared at his feet.- What are you going to do?
I finally get up and rush to Lukash, who was thrown away.Then, from outside the magic circle, I stared at Arnold, who was in pain.
–I want to rush over now. But I’m sure it won’t come true now.Arnold pushed Lukash to do something.
Kid, you……!
The voice, which seemed to resonate directly in the brain, belonged to the Devil.
In a moment, a black lion came out of Arnold’s body – and Arnold bent over with a big tongue and stomach.
The black bird that ran away from Arnold’s body in a fleeing motion was too familiar.It was an Elvira experiment, carried out with the help of the people of Rustu.The demon king who was eating inside her came out as a black lion.
–In other words, perhaps the demon king has just emerged from Arnold.Then I panicked to see Arnold and lost my word.
The black lion still haunted Arnold’s body.And yet, Arnold laughs thinly.
“I don’t know if I escaped from the main unit…”
Arnold held his fist tightly.Then the magic team glowed suddenly and strongly.
– I wonder what he’s up to.The black cloak that surrounds Arnold’s body is the power of the Demon King.Why, then, is he laughing?
Lukash whispered Arnold’s name in a dazzling tone.That way, he looked us in the eye.Those eyes are black. Definitely, now he’s not the Devil King, he’s Arnold.
“Demon King, the main body has escaped… but some of his power is still inside me.”
At last, Arnold falls on the spot.And so that “it” could not escape from the bottom of his stomach, he retreated even further.
–I finally understand what Arnold is trying to do.
(I’m going to seal part of the Demon King’s power that took over me into my body!)
I rush to the fallen Arnold.But the moment I tried to step into the magic formation, I got hit right.
Arnold!
I laid my knee on the magic circle and called out to Arnold, who was about to let go of his consciousness.Then he turned to us slowly and noticed the prototype I had.
Arnold shook his head loosely.It was a manifestation of intention that I was not willing to drink the prototype.
If Arnold drinks the prototype now, he may be able to kick out some of the Demon King’s power left in him, like Elvira did.But he doesn’t want it.
Arnold smiled calmly as if it reassured me that he would have had a sad expression.
“I’m not going to die… I’m just going to take the power of the Demon King and sleep for a while.”
He continues to breathe in agony with Arnold as he lets out his breath.
“The Demon King body that I possessed is gone.But I’ll shred his power a little… ”
The Black King was the first one to escape.Now that we have sealed the black cloud around Arnold’s body, the Demon King must have fled long ago and returned to the dark clouds.
All that remains in Arnold is part of the power of the Demon King.Arnold, with all his knowledge, tried to seal his consciousness by keeping a part of it in his body to weaken the demon king.
Lukash stood next to me with his knees in the same line.And he looked down at him with tears on his face without saying anything.
Arnold smiled at the familiar gaze.
“Lukash, get rid of the Demon King.Until then, I’ll sleep…. ”
Arnold’s eyelids were descending.The light emitted by the magic team is also stronger.
– Wait a minute!
That being said, I covered my mouth with my palm.Already Arnold and Lukash are ready.I can’t water their resolve with my selfish feelings.
I wiped my tears and saw Arnold.That way, black eyes and eyes are tangled.
I thought it was about to be inhaled.If I don’t think this eye will come true for a while, my chest hurts today.
Arnold narrowed his eyes at me, for some reason.
“Laura”
– I called her by her name.
For a moment, my breath stopped. Arnold laughed as he breathed out at me, astonishedly rounding his eyes.
“I’m sorry, but please take Elle.”… thank you ”
Leaving the words behind, Arnold slept for a long time.
