I wanted to be a bad actor in the anime, but I failed.

Swish! Swish——!

The flashing swords and shadows under the moonlight dragged the splattered blood.

The two shadows were already looking a little tired after fighting for so long.

"Cough... huh... cough!"

The severe pain in the chest made the boy feel suffocated. Not only did he have to face the enemy's fierce attack in this situation, but he also had to control his injuries so that his boiling blood could get nourished by oxygen.

However, the priest, who looked extremely holy and dressed in priest's clothes, was very cruel and took advantage of the perfect moment when the boy felt suffocated to attack him.

But even with such insidiousness, he could only inflict a few more wounds on the young man but could not kill him!

It seemed that the boy was at a disadvantage, but the priest became anxious.

The opponent was like a tenacious tumbler, giving people the feeling that he could always stand up and would never be killed by him.

This undoubtedly dealt a huge blow to the priest who was arrogant about his own strength.

Especially when others are seriously injured...

"Haha."

For some reason, the corners of the priest's mouth curled up again.

He seemed to enjoy this unjust battle, which went against the spirit of chivalry.

His empty eyes seemed to be filled with some life.

Looking at the young man holding the black keys with several cracks in the dust, holding his chest and coughing hard.

It is easy for hard swords to cut into each other when they collide with each other.

The opponent was able to skillfully swing his sword with just that one black key and break his fourth black key, which showed that the boy's swordsmanship was far superior to his.

"You can actually fight me to this extent with your lung disease."

The priest said as he threw away the fourth scrapped Black Key hilt and bent over to scoop up a handful of dust as if it were holy water.

As the young man was puzzled, the priest rushed towards him with dust in his hands in a strange posture.

"You are looking for death." The young man said coldly, holding the black key and rushing towards him.

It can be done when the two people are 3m apart.

"puff--!"

The priest suddenly threw the dust in his hands forward!

A large cloud of dust swept over. The young man, who had anticipated this, covered his eyes with one hand to block the dust and held the black key with the other hand. With his blinded vision, following his memory and the sound feedback from his ears, he approached the priest's position and wanted to swing his knife at him!

The sharp blade light tore through the dust.

But just as the young man was planning to hit the priest with his unstoppable sword, wait for him to become stiff, and then take the opportunity to rush out of the smoke and kill him with a sword.

Sudden......

"Wow! Cough cough cough! Cough cough——!"

The dust invaded the mouth and nose and poured into the lungs, causing great stimulation to the lungs, which were already feeling abnormal.

It was like throwing sparks on an oil drum and causing it to burn violently!

This was the most painful time! It was like countless ants were biting and shuttling in my alveoli!

I can't breathe at all!

The pain was so severe that the boy fell to the ground, holding his chest and howling like a dying animal.

"I've already seen that you seem to have lung disease."

The priest looked down proudly at the now extremely embarrassed young man.

He slowly approached, kicked the boy's hands away, and stepped hard on his chest, making him scream in pain!

Looking at the face that was distorted by pain, the priest smiled strangely, as if he had seen something beautiful.

"Dust is the treasure that nourishes us, but also the coffin that buries our death."

"Now it's my weapon, but it's your weakness."

The priest increased his force, and the sound of the boy's ribs breaking filled the air.

"What kind of pain is so unbearable that even such a strong person can't bear it?"

"Or is it that he is so powerful because of his talent, but he has not actually gone through severe hardships?"

"Young man, if you had gone through the training I had gone through, perhaps you could have become the strongest person in this world."

"Unfortunately, you made a big mistake. That was disrespectful to God!"

As he spoke like he was taking an oath, the priest took out a black key and chopped it off the boy's left hand!

"Tear!"

The sound of flesh and bones being torn apart makes one's scalp tingle.

Blood splattered, and the young man was already missing an arm.

But he seemed to not care at all, as if he didn't feel any pain.

No, there is still pain.

His face, flushed with suffocation, was enduring the pain. His right hand slapped the priest's feet with weak strength, as if he wanted to protect his chest from the pain that was invading his brain.

Obviously.

The pain in his chest was far greater than the pain of his broken arm, so he had no intention of feeling the latter.

"It's sad. Because of suffocation, he couldn't even scream out in pain."

The priest said with a smile.

"almost."

"It's time for you to die."

Like the god of death, he pronounces the fate of others.

The priest held up the black key, using the power given to him by God, and soon a small flame spread over the blade.

Then, the black key turned into a blade of fire.

The flaming blades danced, drawing a fan-shaped red pattern in the night, and then slashed towards the boy's neck.

The roar of the flames and the cold edge of the blade.

Death is approaching.

But just when the flames were like ferocious beasts and wanted to bite the boy, at a certain moment, they screamed as if they saw something terrible!

The flames that were heading straight for the young man suddenly rolled back like a curtain of fire blown by the wind.

In the end, the priest was mysteriously devoured by the fire he summoned.

The burning pain made him groan, and he quickly used both hands to put out the flames on his body.

And at this moment, the suffering young man stood up with the courage of a broken hand.

The brilliant black eyes illuminated by the flames flashed with murderous chill.

He held the broken black key and swung it into the air. The flames leaped like living creatures and attached themselves to the blade, forming a fire blade.

Then, he swung the flaming blade and chopped straight at the neck of the priest who was burning into a fire man!

The situation of Jedi's counterattack is very exciting.

But the God of Fire, who had been watching the show, finally turned cold in expression.

"Kotomine Kirei, it seems that I have overestimated a worthless person like you."

The oracle bursts out in the void!

Even the boiling flames stopped!

The young man's fatal attack came to an abrupt end, and instead, a dizzying thrust sent him flying more than ten meters away!

"boom!"

Crashed into the rubble, the boy was buried under the rubble.

At the same time, the flames on the priest's body that were being burned by the flames were instantly extinguished. The severe pain distorted his face, but at a certain moment, his expression became extremely indifferent.

The most bizarre thing was that his eyes changed color.

Her eyes, which were originally brown, were now burning red like flames!

His already tall physique suddenly became even more unattainable at this moment.

If any mortal were here, he would kneel down before him without a second thought, seeing the aura emanating from his body.

The priest, or Hephaestus, stood there, staring at the young man buried in the ruins with his disdainful eyes.

Soon after, the rubble of the ruins rolled and the boy stood up in a panic.

Without his left hand, he stood proudly on the top of the ruins. Even though he was about to lose consciousness due to excessive blood loss and even though he had severe pain in his chest, he still looked at the terrifying divine eyes with a firm gaze!

"Finally out? Bastard!"

As if he was the God, the boy spoke like this to the real God!

Hephaestus smiled grimly and snapped his fingers lightly, and a small string of flames appeared on his index finger.

"This is the god that you humans imagined."

"The weak ones can only cause volcanoes and earthquakes, and there are also garbage gods hiding in volcanoes to forge iron."

The indescribable thing was cursing the dead Hephaestus himself, and then he gently waved his fingers, and the string of small flames slowly flew towards the boy.

But after a brief moment of vigilance, the boy frowned in confusion.

I saw this string of flames attached to the black key he was holding.

After a burst of sound of smelting steel.

soon.

A perfect, blindingly cold, and seemingly extremely sharp knife emerged from the fire.

This is...the enemy helped him forge a better weapon.

The boy looked at Hephaestus in confusion.

The latter grinned and said, "Fragile humans are still fragile even if they are blessed by gods."

"This is my gift as a reward for your courage to challenge me."

"Similarly, this is also our final respect as the new gods to the survivors of the old era, even if this survivor is a disgusting human!"

"Then, launch your unbearable attack on me as much as you can!"

Hephaestus spread out his hands, and endless flames enveloped the surroundings, locking him and those who challenged him in a flaming prison for a life-and-death battle.

The young man swayed and was about to fall, but he bit the handle of the knife and held the blade tightly with his only hand.

"Huh—!"

The sharp knife cut through the palm of my hand without any hindrance, and drops of blood flowed down along the blade.

This was both to measure the sharpness of the knife and to allow the pain to keep him awake.

Afterwards, he fixed his lifeless eyes, and then, holding the hilt of the knife with one arm, he looked at the god in the distance.

After a long time.

At some point, the young man suddenly rushed towards it!

Like an arrow shot from a bow, it was so fast that it left a shadow in the firelight!

With the help of the surrounding flames, the Black Key was quickly wrapped in flames and slashed towards Hephaestus!

"You actually want to hurt me with fire?"

Hephaestus seemed to be angered. He easily caught the blade with his burning right hand, and then kicked the boy in the abdomen with his burning right foot!

The speed was so fast that the flames had no time to catch up. In an instant, the black shadow hit the boy's abdomen.

The muffled sound caused by the huge force was frightening.

The boy flew backwards to the edge of the flaming prison as if he was hit by a train!

"puff--!"

A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth. After getting used to the pain that could make a person collapse, the boy was too lazy to even scream.

He gritted his teeth, endured the severe pain all over his body, and stood up with difficulty.

"I will kill you." The boy said coldly.

"Hahahahaha."

Hephaestus was laughing wildly, standing on the high ground in an invincible posture, patiently waiting for the young man to come and die.

Next.

There is no doubt that the boy was fighting desperately for the desire to survive like a dying rabbit.

But what can he do? The enemy is a lion who is playing with him, a mighty army with a burning body!

at last.

It was like the blood that could never be burned finally burned out.

It was like all the energy that had been endlessly exerted had finally been used up.

Tears and blood continued to flow.

Despair still came.

The boy collapsed from exhaustion in the middle of his final attack on Hephaestus.

The confusion in his mind temporarily distracted him from the pain in his body. He rolled on the ground, trying to get up and fight again countless times, but fell down countless times.

In the end, he accepted his fate with a wry smile.

He turned over weakly, as if trying to find a better death posture.

He lay comfortably on the ground, surrounded by burning flames, and he could turn his head to see the fireworks in the Tokyo night sky in the distance.

Heavy footsteps were heard from the side.

Hephaestus stood beside him, He spread his hands, and the fire went out.

He was looking at the fireworks in the distance just like him.

Under the colorful fireworks is a quiet, beautiful and prosperous city.

Hephaestus seemed to be reminiscing about the past, and also offering a death curse to the legend that was once worthy of respect.

【Look at this world.】

【How beautiful, how harmonious. 】

[There is no cruelty of corpses, the viciousness of the salamanders, the rampage of strange beasts, the rampage of divine beasts, and there is no so-called god! ]

【A world where only humans exist! 】

[It really is a world that only has humans! 】

[What a peaceful daily life! ]

【How enviable! 】

[Even if there are still people who have evil thoughts, they are few in number. Even if there are people who have power, they will restrain themselves.]

[Wow, it's so sad that I want to live here forever. ]

【but......】

【The legendary human king. 】

[This still cannot compare to the world you ruled before. ]

【At that time.】

【Everything is in perfect balance.】

[There is no meaningless fighting, no meaningless blood. ]

[All the corpses have been subdued by you, and the salamander tribe all obey you. ]

【The strange beasts bowed their heads and submitted. 】

[The divine beast is willing to obey you and become the guardian beast of the human territory! ]

【And we, the gods who only have some power, don't even have the courage to offend you. 】

[That is a world that respects you and human beings! ]

【Hahahahaha! 】

[What a pity. What a pity. ]

【At an unknown time. 】

People begin to doubt you.

【Questioning you is too cruel. 】

[Corpses, salamanders, strange beasts, and divine beasts have all betrayed you. ]

[In the end, even humans betrayed you! ]

[The human heart is hard to guess, even in this world. ]

[That chaos made us, as gods, laugh our heads off.]

[But you have abandoned everything and are living a miserable life here, talking about love and fighting with some powers that are smaller than the antennae of an ant.]

[Have you fallen to this level? ]

【Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! ! 】

[Hahahahahahahahahaha! 】

[How ridiculous! How ridiculous!!]

The more Hephaestus spoke, the more excited he became, and in the end he was laughing almost unscrupulously.

【How sad.】

[I still think that in order to protect this world and not attract more harm, I dare not use more powerful means to deal with me. 】

[Your eyes are full of pleading, begging me not to harm this world, not to let more of your kind humiliate this world.]

【Then, as a sign of my arrogance, I agree. 】

The oracle ends here.

Hephaestus looked down at the boy with gray eyes.

He nodded as if in agreement, and spoke tremblingly with the most beautiful and brilliant smile of a human being.

"Just kill me."

"I would have died a long time ago."

"This time I ask to kill me completely."

[Huh? Since you have already realized this, I will tell you a secret.]

[In fact, the fate of the human dynasty that we dared not offend in the past was overthrown by us and humans.]

[Don’t you want revenge? ]

“Nothing has any meaning anymore.”

"Are you the new god?"

【Um? 】

Looking at Hephaestus's puzzled expression.

The teenager laughed.

“Haha, the old gods would never dare to be so arrogant in front of me, even in this situation.”

[Hmph, you hypocritical person who pretends to be mysterious, then die! ]

After whispering, Hephaestus held the pure flaming sword and placed it diagonally on the boy's neck.

The flames devoured the flesh and blood, slowly leaving hideous marks on its neck.

Just as Hephaestus was about to pull the hilt of the sword to behead the boy, another sudden oracle burst out in the void!

[Hephaestus, don't kill him! ]
