[Comprehensive] There are thirteen days left until the collapse of the Honmaru

There is a monster parasitic in Candlestick Qie Guangzhong's body.

Everyone knows that.

He even asked Hotaru and the other two swordsmen to take turns guarding him at night.

Yaoken thought it was a wound parasitized after the war.

But Candlestick knew clearly that this monster... didn't actually come from the outside world.

It comes from within oneself.

So, when did it start?

It probably started when I learned that the God Assessor, who is the lord, suddenly disappeared in the main pill at the moment of the catastrophe.

Why is this happening?

he asked himself.

It's probably a mixture of disappointment and resentment.

Watching the companions fall one by one, or else being broken one after another, the longer the person lives, the more painful it will be.

The living bears the dead.

The more I walked, the more tired I became, and the more I thought about it, the more painful it became.

He can still remember Hasebe holding his hand and staring into his eyes before the knife was broken.

It is full of unparalleled despair and sadness.But what this person said was still full of enthusiasm and hope.

"If the lord comes back... please tell me."

——If she doesn't come back, let me sleep in the darkness of hell.

These were the unfinished words of Hasebe, but he was unwilling to say them after all.

Hasebe's loyalty made him ashamed.

That guy, even before he dies, isn't he willing to give up on the lord?

Then, he was so easily shaken and sank into the darkness, how... weak.

"Pharmaceutical research!"

Vaguely, Candlestick Che seemed to hear someone calling the name of another knife.

……who is it……

Yasuhara Tokiha rushed over, Yaken Toshiro was so frightened that his hands trembled and almost slashed on her.

When Yao Yan saw that she rushed over with only a knife in her hand, and that California Qingguang over there was still paralyzed like a useless salted fish, he couldn't get angry.

"General, why are you here to make trouble!"

Didn't you see that Hotaru and he have tried their best to prevent the monster from killing her!

"Qing Guang said that using spiritual power can cure it! I'm here to help you!"

——California Qingguang, you loose-tongued idiot!When the general asked you a question, did you tell me everything?

In front of the great enemy, Yao Yan held back his curse at least, and persuaded angrily and urgently: "Even so, you are not his opponent!"

"Then you are his opponent!" Yasuhara Tokiha argued.

...This time the drug research wants to scold the bastard general.

However, the monster was very dissatisfied with their distracted quarrel before the battle, and roared, ignoring the medicine research that had caused him a lot of harm, turned around and rushed towards the god judge!

"general!"

The opponent's speed almost doubled at once, and he rushed to An Yuan in the blink of an eye, and Yao Yan, who had no time to save him, immediately exclaimed.

However, the god judge's eyes were filled with coldness, and she drew the saber at the same moment, a near-perfect saber light flashed across the air, severing the man and the horse in half!

Yao Yan was almost dumbfounded: "Cass, cassock, cut! What a beautiful knife light!"

——Is your force value so high!Why were we scared to death before that!

California Qingguang, who watched nervously from behind, was also dumbfounded.

No, he just described it to the lord... The new lord, even the gesture of holding the knife at the beginning was wrong!It was only after he corrected it that he barely corrected it!

The most surprised person should be Yasuhara Tokiha herself. She was also secretly shocked when her pretentious skills became so superb, especially swordsmanship.

But when she saw that the monster in front of her didn't dissipate, but started to close her split body, she knew there was no time to hesitate.

She rushed over, raised her right hand high, and hit the monster's forehead accurately.

——like the sound of a bullet hitting the heart with a "bang".

The spiritual power that hadn't appeared in this pill for a long time erupted in the next moment, and these rays of light circled up, like a vortex in the deep sea, tumbling and pouring into the monster's body.

"what--!"

The monster writhed angrily and struggled, making a sizzling sound like meat falling into a frying pan, but it still couldn't break through the encirclement of the mass of spiritual power.

The god judge bit his lips tightly, not letting himself be wasted because of the weakness coming from his body.

Just then, a hand was on her arm, even though it was as cold as a piece of ice.

An Yuan turned his head in surprise, and found that it was the thin short sword Fu Sangshen.

"...Please let me help you." Yao Yan said this sentence with an indifferent look.

He looked a little uncomfortable though.

An Yuan nodded, without saying anything, but his own spiritual power rolled happily - it felt the power from the same source feeding back.

The powerful spiritual power finally broke through the already crumbling barrier protection, and in an instant, the light of spiritual power shone in the sky above Honmaru.

Overnight, the cherry trees in the garden are in full bloom.

And in the wilderness, there are countless pairs of eyes, at this moment, they all looked in the direction of Honmaru.

After the mind examiner threw California Qingguang into Yaoyan's care, he crawled back into the room with weak legs and feet, only to see Yingwan holding a knife and panting against the wall.

"You did a good job." Yingwan raised her eyebrows, but the blood at the corner of her mouth was not wiped off, "...my lord."

No time to distinguish whether it was a joke or a sincere address, Yasuhara Tokiha saw the candlestick Kiri Mitsutada lying on the ground with a hole in his chest the next moment.

Fu Sangshen still had his last breath, and he held on so that he would not be broken.

"You're here..." The usually tall and mighty Candlestick Che could only smile weakly at this time, "Thank you for helping me expel such darkness."

Yasuhara Tokiha was stunned.

"This, what's going on here! Didn't it mean that as long as I purify that monster, Candlestick Cut will return to normal!"

"Because this is what Zhu Keqie has always wanted to do. I just helped him and released that thing."

Hotaru laughed softly, and there was an indescribable desolation in the laughter, "Being parasitized for too long, Candlestick Kiri's soul has already merged with that monster... I just opened a mouth on Candlestick Kiri, that monster The monster came out chasing after your breath. Otherwise... I don’t know how long it will stay.”

Hearing this, the God Judge's pupils widened. Since she came here, it was not the first time that she felt her heart trembling, but the remorse and complicated emotions like this time were unprecedented.

Candlestick Qie Guangzhong saw her shock and remorse, but smiled.

"Don't blame Hotaru and Yaken. My lord, don't blame yourself for it."

Fu Sangshen said softly, "The reason for all this is because I have a qualified appearance but my heart is too fragile."

Hotaru sat in the dark, closed his eyes without saying a word, as if he couldn't bear to look any more.

It would be nice if you could hold on a little longer.

If only I could trust you a little more like Hasebe.

To be reduced to this point, to put it bluntly, is also my own fault.

"Candlestick cut..."

An Yuan drooped his head, sat down on his knees, and took the opponent's hand so that his head could rest on his lap.

Fu Sangshen seemed a little surprised, and then looked at her helplessly, "It doesn't have to be like this. I... don't deserve to be treated like this by you."

"No." The interrogator retorted stubbornly. She didn't know whether her words were more of a show or more of the truth, but she just wanted to say this in her heart, so she did say it.

"I am a failed lord, and I finally came back to your side—please, let me bear some of the pain of my subordinates at the end."

"Is that so... Even if you get hurt after listening to it, aren't you afraid?"

Yasuhara Tokiha replied in a low voice: "My pain, how can it be compared with the pain you have suffered so far."

"So that's how it is, that's how it is..." Candlestick cut's eyes turned back to the original golden yellow, in the darkness, like rippling water waves, clear and warm, "Then I will say it boldly."

"Even if everyone says that the monster's intention is not my will, I will lose my mind at night, but it is not."

In fact, it can be seen very clearly.

Every night, I can clearly remember those things that went mad, those rampages, and finally being suppressed by my companions and chained up.

"I'm sorry, Candlestick cut."

"I can't save you."

"Be patient, maybe the lord will come back tomorrow? Candlestick cut."

That's what everyone said.

He didn't feel angry, on the contrary, he just resented the lord more and more in his heart.

Why leave us?How can you be so cruel!

So when he watched the monster, manipulated himself, and slashed at the sleepy little girl with a knife, he felt a distorted pleasure in his heart that he would get revenge.

As if this is the correct answer.

But...wrong?

How can you think like this!anyway!As a subordinate, it is wrong to kill the master!

He... he really fell in the dark.

It's hopelessly rotten from the inside out.

He is Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada, the Taidao who should be single-minded.

"It wasn't until I met you again that I realized..." Candlestick Kirimitsu said in a narrating manner, his voice was so low that Yasuhara had to lower his head to barely hear clearly.

"You are just as involuntary as I am."

There are so many involuntary things in life, why this time?

At first, you didn't want to leave us, and I didn't expect to come to this point.

"But I can't refute it. The monster's behavior is my own will. It wants to kill you. That is to say, I did have such disrespectful thoughts—and this is the darkness that was born in my heart. ……original sin."

He suddenly grabbed the judge's hand tightly, sat up all of a sudden, and asked excitedly, "Can you forgive me! My lord! Can you forgive... me who tried to make a big mistake!"

Yasuhara Tokiha lowered his head and looked at him silently, his expression was mixed with sadness and joy, and he didn't speak for a long time.

"This, that's it..."

Candlestick let go of his hand dejectedly, and lay down on his back, laughing in despair.

"Sure enough, I beg your forgiveness for a crime that even I myself cannot forgive!"

"Such an ugly idea is really... really ridiculous..."

He covered his face with his black gloved hands stained with his own blood, his bangs drooped messily, and he let out a choked sob like crying.

His spiritual power is about to dissipate.

But even so, even the imminent collapse was not worth the sadness and self-blame in his heart at this moment.

"Please don't say that." Yasuhara Tokiha finally spoke, she gently pushed his hand away, caressed his bloodless face, and helped him straighten his hair.

Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada is a man who pays attention to his appearance.The Inquisitor remembers this.

"...I was just thinking about how to express my inner emotions with more appropriate words."

"You are the first sword to come to Honmaru, Candlestick Kiri. Kiyomitsu is my first sword, Hotaru is the first big sword, as for Yakuken, it is the first short sword you brought back from the battlefield. Speaking of it, it is really fate...There are so many swords in Honmaru, I can't remember too many things, but for this, I still remember clearly."

"Constrained by the player's consciousness, my scope of action is limited. In fact, I don't know much about your specific lives. But you, Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada, is known as the best housekeeper, handsome and well-behaved... How could I do not like you?"

Candlestick suddenly opened his eyes wide, it was hard to believe that he would hear such high praise from the lord when he was dying.

"...Thanks to your great love..." He said tremblingly, "In the end, I let you down..."

"There's no such thing. I'm the lord spoiled by you." Tokiha Yasuhara laughed, not realizing that tears were streaming down her eyes uncontrollably. She just continued, "And , I should be the one to apologize."

She leaned down, and whispered in Candlestick Che's ear:

"I'm sorry, I'm late... Also, I forgive your sins, please... forgive me."

"That's really..."

There was also a layer of water vapor in Candlestick Che's only exposed eyes, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his breath became serene and peaceful.

"--It could not be better."

I have long since forgiven you, my lord.

Thank you...you can give me such salvation.

The last spiritual power on Fu Sangshen's body began to dissipate quickly, and finally, in that person's relieved smile, a slender sword full of scars lay quietly on Yasuhara Tokiha's lap, no longer sharp.

The god judge held the handle of the knife with tears streaming down his face, as if he heard the other party's confident words when they first met.

My name is Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada, a candlestick that can cut bronze... Well, I'm still not handsome.

No, you were super handsome from the beginning to the end, Candlestick Cut.
