453 451 Zephyrd of Heavenly Wall

From the flaming Marquis Mansion, Fran escapes in a flirtatious foothold.

You're no longer holding the original shape by the two fierce fights. Rubble and conditioning are scattered at your feet.

"You should just have a potion for now"

"Mmm..."

While walking, I drank up five of the luxury potions I gave away, and finally recovered about 20% of my vitality and magic. Thanks. Potions don't work well. Perhaps the effects of potential liberation are reducing resilience? Or is it because you tortured your body so badly?

Anyway, it's still dangerous. There was no glory in the movement, either because of the fatigue accumulated.

Besides, I'm in pretty bad shape. Though not as bad as at the time of sword deification, the endurance value was greatly reduced and its fixing was slow. It would be because of the god attribute of the Black Thunder God claw.

Perhaps those who use divine attributes other than Fran are disposing of weapons. In fact, the Beast King said he broke Orihalcon's spear with spear deification.

No, maybe the influence of divine attributes is on Fran as well? It was also possible that the recovery was slow because of this.

(Master, are you okay? I was screaming earlier)

But it seems Fran was the same thing worrying about her partner. I've heard it in a voice that I notice.

"Eat with me." But it's okay. "

(Really?)

'Oh, my disgust has healed already. And the harvest was huge. "

Until now, pseudo-fanatical swords have only increased their magic and endurance values by 1, even if destroyed and eaten together. But the identities of the fanatics that were possessed by the Marquis Ashtoner? Eating something like that had increased my magic and endurance values by as much as 300.

Although it did not receive self-evolution points, it was strengthened by ranking up. I'm really glad I'm putting up with the sickness and eating together.

As we headed straight to the garden, we saw Eliante and Corberto hugging Zephyrd as he leaned against the rubble and sat down.

"What's up?

"Fran! Did you knock him down?

"Mmm."

As Fran nodded, I could see Zephyrd smiling softly.

"Right. Did you knock him out?"

Zephyrd's tone has no bitter colour at all. But he had shed a great deal of blood from his belly, and looked white through the bright blue. This is a dangerous condition. Well, now you can have a quiet face and laugh.

"Fran, healing magic."

"Mm-hmm. I'll fix it now"

But even after Fran's healing magic light wrapped around Zephyrd's body, there was no change in its dying appearance.

Wounds will not block and vitality will not be restored.

"Mm?"

"You can't even franc..."

"Don't you want to recover?

"The potion isn't working either!

You mean the state where the recovery is completely disabled? So this injury sucks!

"What about this wound?

"It's..."

"I just hit a stray bullet"

Zephyrd blocked Colbert from trying to say something in strong language. You don't want Fran to know why you're wounded? But Eliante conjures up the words.

"I should say. Even though Nari is a child, Fran is a one-man adventurer."

"But... No, you're right."

"I know you don't want to push the cause of your own death. I think you know who he is, don't you?

It turns out that Zephyrd himself is already prepared to die, not just Eliante and Corberto. No, I can't move it in a detour in this state, and I don't think there's a way to help if healing magic or potion doesn't work...

What bothered me more than that was the word that the cause was in Fran.

"What happened?

"Shield Stunt has the moves to change the disaster that befalls your people to themselves. Zephyrd used it."

"... to me?

"Zephyrd wants to help at least...... Your battle destroyed the Marquis Mansion, so we could use our skills."

I had an idea. This is the last poke that Marquis Ashtoner unleashed for a match. It was the attack that did stab through Fran that was nullified as if it had been decided not to.

I have physical attack deactivation, but I didn't have time to replace it. I'm going to use it aggressively even if it's somewhat risky in the future, but I didn't put it on then. I didn't have time to think about it carefully, and I went back into battle before I explored the cause, but that is certainly a strange phenomenon.

Is that because of Zephyrd?

But I know that Shield Sacred moves have their pedigree moves. He was tormented once when he fought the Valkyries in the Land of the Beasts. If it was a shield sacred move that would shift even a level of attack that would take a life, surely that phenomenon could be explained as well.

"Lord Black Thunder, thanks to you, I took my fellow vengeance. Thank you... Ohhhh"

After all, Zephyrd bowed his head in a quiet hesitation that he didn't think was dying. Still, the last massive amount of blood you spit out is telling us how he is.

But neither Eliante nor Corberto will try to stop that word. I guess it's because I know he won't help, so I'll let him talk to me as I please.

"Did I help you a little?

"Wow. If you hadn't helped me, I could have been dead"

"Right. One last piece of advice."

"Mmm."

"Something, you used a great ability to recoil, didn't you?

Zephyrd squeezes his last force, spinning his words. Oh, my God, it seems Zephyrd's falling state of healing deactivation was supposed to go down on Fran if it was supposed to. But Zephyrd seemed to take it on for me.

He has a high skill in shield sacred moves, and he understands that to be the recoil or price for some special move Fran used.

"Whatever you think, it would be the price of Fran's liberation of potential"

"Mmm..."

Zephyrd was replacing me for the price and part of the damage. That is why Fran was so close to death. What if there's no Zephyrd's help? Fran would have definitely lost his life. You could have called me a benefactor of your life.

"If you have any idea, be careful... Oops..."

"Are you kidding?"

"There is a rank A adventurer's will. Later. If you show up at the end, you'll be laughed at by the rest of the world."

That's really awesome mental power to be able to stay in this state where your life keeps spilling out. I admire you from the bottom of my heart.

Besides, the figure of a man who accepted his death but for some reason laughed contentedly also appeared overlapping at the end of Chiara. I guess Fran did, too. With a depressing look, he tries to bow his head to Zephyrd. But nothing else blocked it, it was Zephyrd.

"I'm sorry. It's my fault."

"No! Ooh... that's not true. Instead, thanks to you, he blew a bubble. I just have to thank you."

That's what Zephyrd says and laughs niggly. It was Eliante who took over the word.

"That's right. To Zephyrd's death, there's nothing to blame for you. The cause may have been to cover the franc. But it's Zephyrd's fault, Zephyrd's credit. Instead, send out the fellow who did a great job on that monster with his chest stretched."

"That's right. Lady - Fran. Your role was huge, but we and Zephyrd's husband did everything we could. The result. So whatever it is, it's on us. Thank you, but don't apologize."

"... n"

That's what they told me, and Fran seems convinced.

(If it's the other way around, I don't want them to apologize either)

"Right."

Stop looking sorry and stare into Zephyrd's eyes with a straight eye.

"Thank you"

"Heh heh... here it is... Finally, we've got a good job."

That was the last word of Rank A Adventurer, Zephyrd of the Heavenly Wall. We just talked a little bit, but you were a good man. If we'd met sooner, Fran and I could have gotten along.

"Thank you."

……

Did my words sound like he closed his eyes with a smile on his face?
