Chapter 55: Arthur vs Lily, Ion<hr>


    Arthur will face Lily first. Arthur''s weapons are a one-handed sword and a shield. The battle begins in full destruction mode. When Lily unleashes a heavy sh, Arthur catches it with his sword and parries it.


    And if a martial art is repelled or forced off, it will go into a hardened state for a few seconds. In other words, Lily would have to take the attack. But Arthur didn''t attack Lily...this guy.


    Then, Lily''s sh, heavy sh and otherrge attacks were repeatedly used, but all of them were parried by the shield. And yet, he doesn''t attack at all. There''s no doubt about it...he''s ying with Lily.


    "Huhu, what''s the matter? What''s wrong, little girl? You can''t reach me with such an evil attack"


    "Yaa!"


    Lily and Ion must know by now that they''re being yed with.


    "Lily, that''s enough. Stop it"


    "!!? But Takuto"


    "Unfortunately I can''t allow that"


    When I told Lily to stop the fight, Arthur suddenly shed at her. Wait a minute, you''re shing at her when I''m stopping the fight?


    Lily tries to defend herself against the surprise attack, but her sword is flicked away, leaving her defenseless.


    "This is the difference in PS. Little girl. Heavy sh"


    Arthur''s Heavy sh hits Lily and she falls to us.


    "Lily!


    "Lily! Stay with me!"


    Lily burst into tears as we rushed towards her.


    "So...rry...Ta...kuto..."


    Lily then turned back into a summoned stone in front of us....


    Seeing this scene, something that had been sleeping inside me was about to awaken.


    "H, How dare you Lily!"


    Ion shes at Arthur. But Arthur stopped her with his shield.


    "You''re blue, you''re a speed type. It''s a shame you don''t have PS!"


    She''s pushed away by Arthurs force.


    "Kuu...I won''t forgive...I won''t forgive Lily''s battle...only you who trampled her thoughts!"


    Ion attacks from both sides at high speed, but just like Lily, she''s just flipped off.


    "Kuu!"


    "Huhu, Im sorry. It''s a shame, but you have to hate your ipetent master"


    Arthur then flicked one of Ion''s daggers away and a heavy sh hit her where she was defenseless.


    "Ion!?"


    Ion rolls in front of me.


    "Sorry...I...Takuto...san..."


    And even Ion has returned to her summoned stone....


    "Ahahaha! Look! Everyone! Look at that unsightly summoner!"


    Arthur said and the tamers that I had defeated before appeared from among Arthur and the others.


    "That''s right! Look at you!"


    "Punishment!"


    "Well done! Arthur!"


    I knew these guys were behind all of this. And they came all this way to watch Lily and Ion get beaten up....


    "Yes. Yes. Justice always wins!"


    "But, Arthur. This is too much. They were crying, you know. And there''s something wrong with the story"


    "I don''t know anything about that! I don''t give in to the tears of evil!"


    You don''t know what Lily and her friends are fighting for? They fought to protect my pride. They fought a battle they knew they would lose. That...thats it!!


    I can see the tears of Lily and Ion floating in my mind. Did you say those pure tears were evil? This guy! And the voices of those who areughing at them release the seal on my heart.


    "Okay, now for the finale. Let''s kill the bad guy! It''s the least I can do for you. I''ll allow you to stand. I''m so sweet~"


    I stood up, closing my eyes.


    At that moment, I remembered a scene from the past. It was a memory of the day I parted ways with a certain old man.


    "I was not mad in my eyes. Seigo. You are loved by your talent. You have absorbed my skills in no time at all. Today, as promised, your apprenticeship is over"


    "Yes. Thank you very much"


    "There is onest thing I must tell you. The power you have gained must not be used in real life"


    The old man warns.


    "I know"


    "Good. But there wille a time when you must unleash your power"


    "Will that day evere?"


    At that time, I really thought that such a day would nevere. But the old man assured me.


    "It wille. The day wille when you will need your strength more than ever"


    Then he told me an important lesson.


    "At that time, ask your heart. The good and evil of power is not decided by people. It is decided by your own heart. And if you judge that your heart is good, release your power"


    I ask my heart.


    Can I just kill them all?


    Kill them all? That''s not even close.


    Then should I show them hell?


    You should show them. And tell them.


    And tell them that their existence has touched my reverse scale!


    I stand up and Arthur uses a martial art.


    "Gale thrust!"


    Arthur''s sword shines with light as he activates his martial art and closes in on me.
