78 - Saints' side 1: 逅逅

It was a dark space with no light of any kind.

There were no walls or ceiling ...... or even a floor.

But as long as you can walk, there must be something that looks like a floor.

It was in the middle of such a space.

There was a chalk round table that seemed to be shining faintly, and seven chairs made of the same material.

There were figures in six of them, and upon seeing her, the man at the far end of the room spoke up.

"--Where have you been?　The vixen."

A stern man with two horns on his forehead.

Nothing. Just going for a walk.

"All the way to Itur?"

"Oh, you're still as sharp as ever, aren't you? Yes, I was just wondering how the boys were doing.

Don't do anything unnecessary. Have you forgotten your position?

Yes, yes, I know. But this is the fifth saint. You will meet Sinus soon, and the day when you will be able to achieve your goal is near.

I suppose so. After all, the last one is already here. Yes?　Shiva, the saint of the Shield.

"Oh, I'm just a fortune teller.　I'm just a fortuneteller, but I still can't find your shield?

The man said in an emotionless voice as usual, "Oh," in response to Shiva's question.

The "shields" are more protective of the human race than the others. Most of them are probably hiding somewhere. Well, there are traitorous vixens like you.

"Of course.　I only side with those who can win. Because I don't want to die.

Now, how much of that is true?

Shiva asked the man who closed his eyes quietly.

So, to get to the point, can you beat them?

Shiva answered, "Of course not. It is true that all the holy tools are in the hands of the saints, but they were originally created by man for man. They are no match for the "Divine Artifact" given to us by our Mother.

Besides," the man said, looking around at the other five.

The physical capabilities of our subhuman race far exceed those of humans. We have the same skills and we will not be slowed down by a mere human girl. If you want, shall I pierce your holy shield, which is renowned for its absolute defense, with my divine sword?

No, I'd rather not. Because there is no advantage for me at all.

Cowering his shoulders, Shiva asked further, "So, the question is, how is the boy?

The problem is with the boy. How in the world are you going to defeat an immortal warrior who has all the rare skills in his body?

If he is immortal, we can kill him with all his attributes," said Shiva. To make this possible, we are looking forward to the birth of the "king". A true king, not some pretender like Vael.

I see. Then his research has been of some help to you?

Yes. Of course, if you had not done anything unnecessary, we would have been able to get even more accurate data.

The man stared at her, but Shiva easily avoided his gaze.

Well, it doesn't matter," he said. The birth of the king is coming soon.

"Well, you're a b*tc*," the man said.

"Well, that makes two of us, doesn't it?"

Shiva broke off and continued with a wry smile.

The saint of the sword chosen by the goddess of the end - Elysian.
