Chương 141: Chapter 32:”Sneak into Central Tower 6″

"You gave me quite a hard time. But, your luck ends here— finally I can kill you." Lilna smiled kusuri alluringly. But that was only for a moment. Tightening her face immediately, she announces in a cold tone.

"Put down the Chilion you are carrying."

"............" I dared to ignore it. Putting down Ryuto, who cannot move now, is the same as abandoning him. I can't do just that. As if seeing through my feelings, Lilna urges again with a strong tone.

"Put him down right now. I'll dispose of that one after you."

"Is that true?"

"Do you want to be cut down without resistance while carrying a child?"

"... Understood." I decided to believe Lilna's words. As far as I have faced her, she is not the type to tell silly lies. Then, at least while I'm fighting, Ryuto should be safe. Plato behind is not to be trusted, but— Either way, it's painful, but I have no choice now. Walking to the edge of the connecting bridge, I laid Ryuto there. During that time, Lilna was observing me with sharp eyes, but didn't do anything in particular. Plato is positioned slightly behind me, on the Central Government Headquarters side.

Waiting while blocking the escape route. Returning to the center of the bridge again. Taking out the Qi Sword from my left hand, I confront her. Just standing there, killing intent enough to freeze my body and fierce hatred enough to scorch conversely pierce me. No escape. All is lost—!

"With this, there are no more hindrances. Die." Lilna disappears. 《Passtrive》. Don't be confused by fast movements. Don't make useless movements. The attack to prevent is the moment she tries to finish me. Concentrate only on that! Coming! From the right! Bachiii! Swinging down the sword in the direction I captured. Her light blade and my Qi Sword collide and scatter fierce sparks. Without time to breathe, Lilna disappeared again.

In the next moment, a horizontal slash that would be fatal if hit was already approaching from right behind. Barely dodging by lying down instantly. Lilna disappears again. This time, she was trying to pierce from directly above where my posture was broken. Rolling my body, avoiding it clumsily— Can't! Hit— 『Switch! 』"Watashi" brought out my body to the surface and changed the position subtly. Thereby forcibly avoiding the blow that was about to take my head. If I stay as "Watashi", I'll be beaten.

From the previous reflection, I returned Yu to the surface immediately.

"Ore", who returned to the surface by switching with "Watashi", took a distance immediately. While being wary of her who was silent in the posture of swinging the blade through. I know that some distance is not even a consolation in front of 《Passtrive》. I knew it, but I couldn't help trying to escape from her even a little.

"Haa...! Haa...!" In the offense and defense next to death, I was out of breath violently. Because one lung is damaged, breathing is painful as if drowning. Up to here, it was only a short time. In just that much time, how many times did I almost die? While shuddering at Lilna's ability again. She looked back here slowly while brushing up her hair messed up in the fight.

"Really a tenacious guy. Truly annoying."

"I'm just bad at giving up." Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

"I'll make you unable to say such bluffs ever again." Lilna starts moving again. From there too, it was one-sided defense after all. I am desperate just trying not to be beaten moment by moment. There is no gap to attack anywhere, and even if I do, nothing works. Much less, there was no gap to escape at all. Naturally. Nothing has changed from the battle in the prison. No, rather damage accumulates on this side due to continuous battles. And one lung is done, so my body can't catch up even more.

At the point of being involved in this unwinnable battle, am I checkmated? No, don't give up yet. It's over if I give up! Think! However, such a convenient move does not come to mind easily. Eventually, Lilna moved to a new attack. When she approached to point-blank range using 《Passtrive》, muzzles popped out from everywhere on her body. This is—the technique that beat Ryuto! Immediately after. From the muzzles all over the body, blue light bullets are fired like rain. Damn! Too many to dodge!

Have to defend with the Qi Sword as a shield! Stretching the sword into a shield shape. Thrusting it forward, and turning to defense with all my might. Although I manage to prevent the attack somehow, due to the excessive number of bullets, I had to devote all my consciousness to defense. Therefore, I was late in noticing just for a moment. That she had disappeared again before I knew it. Ha! Not there!? Where—"That strange weapon— Let me cut it off." From behind, when I felt a horrifying killing intent zokuri.

The choice left to me was. Just turning around frantically and swinging the sword.

"Uoooooooh————!" 《Senkraze—》! Supan———— An instant that seems like eternity. At first, I didn't understand what happened—. —Zusha! Recognized slightly later. It was—. My Left Arm —. Cut off cleanly from the root by her light blade. The sound of it rolling onto the ground." Guaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa———————!" From the root. Of the left arm, blood is pouring out—! Damn! It won't stop!

"With this, you can't fight satisfactorily anymore." Lilna—! Damn it! My dominant arm was taken! 『Yu! Calm down! Don't panic! 』 『Ha!? 』 『Control Qi and stop the bleeding! Hurry! You'll really die! 』 Right. That's right. Calm down! Managed to recover with "Watashi's" voice. I concentrated my consciousness on the root of the lost arm and tried to stop bleeding desperately. But the amount of blood already lost is large.

Qi Reinforcement, which depends on the strength of vitality, was gradually losing its effect in this crisis of life. The power to fight is beginning to be lost from the whole body.

"Match over." Did she judge that there is no need to use 《Passtrive》 anymore? Lilna walked towards me dignifiedly. After staring at my face and showing a gesture of thinking a little, she thrusts the blade. Aiming accurately at the heart. Like hell I'll die! I was bad at giving up. Moving my body desperately, jumping sideways to avoid the attack. But I, who could no longer control Qi Reinforcement, fall and roll goro-goro. Falling in an unsightly appearance, crawling on the ground.

Still capturing Lilna firmly with my eyes. At the too miserable figure, even she frowns as if confused.

"Useless struggle. You will die of blood loss sooner or later. Before that, I say I'll finish you off at once. Give up and accept it."

"Not yet... Not yet, can't die...!" Like hell it ends in such a place! At least, Ryuto only. Looking at the place where I laid him—. Ha!? Not there!? Where!?

"Kukuku... To cling to life that much. Ridiculous." When I looked at Plato mocking, I was stunned. This guy was holding the unconscious Ryuto under his arm before I knew it!

"Ryuto! Plato! You! What are you doing!"

"... Plato. That's in bad taste as expected. Leave the child for later." Plato didn't follow Lilna's admonishing words either.

"No, Lilna. This guy is a felon who hurt many of our comrades. Before killing him, we should show him at least one bad dream. I think so."

"But..."

"Besides, this Chilion is a Violation Unit in the first place—subject to disposal."

"That is... true but..." Probably a nature that dislikes cowardice. Glancing at her who was reluctant, Plato looked at the edge.

"Disposal is natural... The Central Processing Plant below suits him." He picked up Ryuto's body he was holding with one arm. The unconscious Ryuto's body is hanging down powerlessly.

"You, what—" No way. No way—!" Stop... Stop it...!" I, who can no longer move properly, tried to search the waist pouch desperately with my remaining right hand. I was desperate to find something that could be a weapon. However naturally, Plato was not good-natured enough to watch it silently.

"Stop useless resistance." The Beam Gun equipped on his right hand breathed fire.

"Ah!" The important waist pouch received from Sensei was—completely finished off by the beam just now. The string is completely torn off, and it is flipped far away.

"Kuh...!" A large hole that can be understood at a glance has opened. It's useless anymore. Plato directed a clear expression of contempt at me who was struggling badly. And, Ryuto—. Without hesitation. Threw him out of the connecting bridge, into the empty air." Ryuto!" 《Passtrive》! How many times have I used the ability. The moment I used it, I heard something snap inside my body. But I couldn't care about appearances.

"Ryuto!" Catching him skillfully with only both legs. Grabbing the edge of the bridge with my right hand. I said I'd protect you! Like hell I'll let you die! But, damn it! No power, enters my arm—! When I noticed, Lilna was standing looking down at me clinging desperately to the edge. She is waiting silently for me to come up. She intends to finish me off with her own hands this time when I come up. No good. If I go up, I will definitely be killed by Lilna. Even if I fall at this height, I will definitely die.

Damn! To think it would come to this...! Completely Checkmated. My journey in this world seems to be up to here.... If it's the end anyway, I'll use 【Rebellion】 or whatever. So, Ryuto. Even in exchange for this life, at least you—.............!" Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa———————————————————————!" I let go of my hand. Falling. Falling down. When I looked up at the end, what was reflected in my eyes was.

Looking down at us with eyes cold like ice, confirming our death— The figures of Lilna and Plato.
