Vol 2: Chapter 39

* Eva Sillys *

A rainbow-colored light emerged from the back of the fallen knight commanderit was the light of a skill orb. The light ofHoly Sword Technique.

When the darkness reached out its hand and entwined the light, the light scattered and disappeared together with a small noise.

Ahh

Someones lament was heard. The countrys best skill orb has now disappeared.

(How did this happen!)

What went wrong for this to happen?

Did I make a fatal mistake?

Did small, random, coincidental mistakes come together to produce this result?

Miss Eva.

She remembered the boy who used to follow her around like a puppy.

He had transformed into that darkness nowEva wanted to turn away from that cruel fact.

Mira, are you here?

Father!?

A huge silhouette approached them. It was Miras father, the Border Earl.

Its too dark to see where Im going.

W-What is going on here!?

Theres no way I would know! But the situation isnt good.

What should we do?

I need a weapon for the time being. Hey, someone lend me a sword.

The Border Earl took the sword of a nearby noble boy.

We should get away from here. No choice but to let His Majesty and El take care of that monster.

But Border Earl, is it okay for us, the vassals, to escape?Ethan asked.

Its fine to be brave, but say that after you have the power to fight. Besides, your job is to protect Kluvshrat-sama.

Yes, the Holy Prince is here as well, Ethan suddenly realized.

Indeed. Excuse me. Kluvshrat-sama, lets get away from here.

There is nothing we can do.

Is that really so?

What?

At that time, Kluvshrats gentle expression tensed.

That skill orb was supposed to be given to me. If so, maybe I could do something?

T-Thats

No one knows for sure, but it holds enough ground to make people think it might be possible.

Exactly As You Say

Before anyone realized, the darkness was only 5 meters ahead of the Holy Prince. No one even saw it coming down the stairs.

(This smell !)

Although it was already dark, it felt as if the darkness was getting even darker still. Mild wind blew from the darkness, and the surroundings were filled with a burning smell.

Your Side Broke The Old Covenant First

Eva was unfamiliar with the word covenant.

However, it seemed that the darkness placed emphasis on the thing called covenant.

The Price Is Great. That Skill Orb Was Extinguished Due To Default Of The Covenant

The skill orb that it mentionedit must be [Holy Sword Technique].

The 6-star skill orb was inherited over the years, and the rare skill was easily erased with the death of the knight commander.

The Holy King was kneeling beside the motionless knight commander. The pinnacle of this country, who was always brimming with confidence and dignity, was stricken with grief. The fact that [Holy Sword Technique] was ineffective, and the death of the knight commander, might have shaken his core.

Not Enough. Entire Household Broke The Covenant. AH! AH! AH! My Brethren Are Screaming! Can You Hear? You Look Tasty, Is What Theyre Saying

When the darkness tried to get closer to Kluvshrat, the Holy King stormed to his feet.

Dont touch Kluvshrat!!!!!

The Holy King shot his staff towards the back of the darkness head. When the darkness turned around and caught the staff, a dull golden electric shock bounced around.

Do you bastards want to continue sucking the blood of the Holy Royal Family forever!!!

The staff bounced on the ground, making noise, before coming to a stop.

Foolish. If So, Revoke The Covenant

Just what I wan

Your Majesty! Please wait!

El hugged the Holy King from behind, and stopped him.

Its a trap sprung by those from the other world! Revoking the covenant is what they desire the most!!

The Holy Sword probably got repelled because we are bound by the covenant! With the covenant acting as a shield, theyre doing whatever they want! If all the shackles disappear, I can destroy those guys in the other world with my Knights Order!

Your Majesty! Your thoughts are clouded by your child!

Shut up! What would someone like you who has a temporary life would know!

Pushed away by the Holy King, El tumbled backwards.

Declare The Revocation Of The Covenant

Thats exactly what Im gonna do! I, the King of Kruvan Holy Kingdom

Something is wrong. Something bad is going to happen, the thoughts crossed Evas mind.

N, No!?

Eva tried to call out, but the darkness was looking at herno, it was Louiss face. Louis lifeless face emerged from the darkness and was looking at Eva. Why are you standing there? Why did you make me do this? Why are you alive?, she felt as though he was asking that, and her courage quickly diminished.

(I cant do it. I cant do anything. In the end, Im just a child who cant do anything without the status of a noble.)

Eva was struck by fear and couldnt move.

Finally, the Holy King uttered the words.

Revoke the damn covenant!!!

(Save me, Reiji!!!)

Eva screamed in her heart.

And the darkness laughed.

Your Declaration, We Acce

However, the darkness was not able to finish its declaration.

Accompanied by a loud noise, like the breaking of glass, light poured in.

UOOHHHHHH! FINALLY!!! It was hella tough to break!

Ah

The person who showed up was the one Eva desperately yearned forher most reliable escort.

Reiji!
