The trail of the sky The light belongs to you

In the noble and elegant city of Gransail, the sky has not yet faded from the atmosphere of the night, and it is glowing with a silvery luster, quietly waiting for the first ray of sunlight.

However, at the moment when the cloud had just dissipated, not everyone could sleep peacefully.

Or even though he was asleep, something had been taken from him somewhere in his heart.

Dragging her tired body, Onasa came to the Sky Garden alone after Joshua left.

In the courtyard surrounded by lush trees, Grancel's vision expanded with each step closer to the edge, and there, Onasa saw unexpected figures.

"Cassius... sir..."

The chestnut-haired middle-aged man overlooked the sleeping city, turned his head, his face was full of seriousness.

"Has the military affairs been dealt with?"

"Ah...it's almost...Is Estelle still awake?"

"..." Onasa closed her eyes in silence, "You are asking the question knowingly."

"Did you see it too? There's no way. Since that guy chose it himself, I can only follow him... We have made a promise from the beginning, and I already knew that this moment would come."

"I have a question I want to ask you."

"Do you want to ask who Joshua used to be?"

"...No, although this is also very important, there is something more important than this," Onasha stepped forward, holding on to the railing, her blue eyes drooping, and her eyelashes covered her gaze, "You Haven't you considered Estier's feelings..."

"...Although it is difficult to accept, she must also..."

"Haven't you considered preventing Joshua from leaving?"

"As early as five years ago, when Joshua came to my house for the first time, we had an agreement that if one day he thought his existence would hinder us, he would leave voluntarily."

"As for Estelle... she can only get used to it slowly."

"impossible."

"what?"

Cassius raised his head and opened his eyes wide at the calm, almost cold voice of the girl in front of him. Onasa's eyes were full of determination.

"I think you know Estier better than I do. Her radiance is very similar to yours. It is a kind of courage that can lead your companions to move forward hand in hand no matter what difficulties you encounter...

It's like you still choose not to escape and return to the army after ten years.

Estelle, it is impossible to accept the fact that Joshua is gone, she will definitely... be able to find Joshua back. "

Cassius was silent for a moment, his eyes suddenly became gentle.

"Onasha, compared to that time...you have grown a lot..."

Onasa didn't participate in the next thing, but she heard about it.

After Estier returned home and found that Joshua had really disappeared, she decided to embark on a journey to find him. In order to be able to compete with the "Body Snake", Estier went to the [Lou Rocker] 】Training at the training ground to improve your strength...

However, she is not the only one who needs to improve her strength.

After the birthday celebration, Onasa disappeared from the world for a while, and even Agathe didn't know her whereabouts.

Didn't go back to the village of Ravenu, and didn't show up at the guerrilla associations in any of the cities in Liber...

Just like Joshua, he didn't even say goodbye.

Estier went abroad, Joshua left, Onasa disappeared... These triple blows even made Tita depressed for a while, only Agathe was sure that she must be doing something very important and would definitely come back .

The truth...it is.

For Onasa, the thing that can be called [very important] at this moment—probably the only one.

Walking on the road that has been abandoned for a long time, there are scattered gravel and burnt trees everywhere. Once the wind blows, the choking breath will go straight into the nostrils, making it difficult to breathe.

【Hammel Village】

That's what it was called ten years ago.

Now, it is nothing more than a village destroyed by natural disasters.

There was a rustling sound from the boots on the ground, and there was a deathly silence all around. It was not only the air that was silent, but also the history of this place.

Although the weather is not cold, there is a faint chill all around, as if it is a kind of silence that is ready to shout at any time.

Onasa took advantage of her position as a guerrilla fighter for many years... to be able to reach this place.

Perhaps, under that tree, he practiced swinging the wooden sword countless times.

Perhaps, on that road, he has run countless times...

Suddenly there was a sound of something moving in the grass beside him...

Almost instinctively, he turned back and drew his sword, aiming the rapier at the leaping great hound, knocking it to the ground.

"Grayscale space!"

The blond girl placed the rapier in front of her body, and used her thoughts to create a void in front of nothingness. The second hound sank deep into it and quickly disappeared.

Turning around quickly, the sensitive sword energy cut off some withered branches on the ground, and Onasa moved quickly among the remaining three hounds, constantly repelling their attacks.

"Finally... the blood turns!"

The red gas gradually lingered on the side of the white and dazzling sword. With a vigorous swing, the red gas formed a boomerang, turning all the hounds into smoke and dust, leaving only the shining chips scattered all over the place.

"There are only five...is that all?" After confirming that there was no threat around, Onasa put away her sword and straightened her messy long hair.

It has been nearly two months since the coup d'état ended—the practice day and night during the two months had greatly improved her strength.

The power guide has also been upgraded - the magic limit is still in the center, and the number of crystal holes has been increased to 7.

"Silver Thorn"

This is the magic that Second Lieutenant Lawrence used on the rooftop, and she has mastered it now.

Yes, Onasa Barlowka, if you want to bring Levi out of the darkness, you must become stronger, this is her oath.

The pace continued to move towards the end of the road, without the infestation of monsters, tired of the lifeless scenery around, the road seemed to have no end, and it just continued forward.

Until, an irregular stone tablet came into her vision.

There was also a bunch of pure white flowers in front of the stele, and the petals swayed gently in the wind, forming a sharp contrast with the barely legible handwriting on the stele.

Caroline Astray - Tomb

"Asterley..."

Onasa unloaded her equipment, knelt in front of the tomb, and repeated the last name in a murmur.

In my mind, there is finally a thread that connects everything together.

The slender fingers slowly caressed the white petals. It was a kind of pure beauty, as if it would break if too much force was applied.

Onassa closed her eyes, prayed silently for a while, and then stood up.

"What a... idiot..."

The girl turned around and looked forward more calmly. The tombstone behind her was getting farther and farther away.

"Whether it's Levi or Joshua... they're all idiots..."

Goddess... this time, please give me the courage to persevere to the end.

In front of the broken ruins, the silver-haired youth sat alone on the steps.

There is still about an hour left before the appointed time.

Looking at the starry sky at night in boredom, the appearance of that girl unexpectedly appeared in my mind.

"I can't bear it... What are you thinking..."

Levi held his forehead helplessly, but still couldn't control his thoughts.

It's been two months, what are you doing now?

[Why do I have to face your sword while protecting those people? 】

【Why...my enemy is also one of the objects I want to protect...】

Why do you say such things to a person who has nothing to do with you?

[Levi, I seem to like you. 】

This short sentence makes Levi feel sore every time he recalls it.

He was clearly determined to abandon everything, but he was unconsciously attracted by the light and wanted to reach out.

can't touch-

If you touch it, you will be burned.

The corner of the mouth curled up in a sarcasm, clearly swearing to become [Sura], but still can't escape human emotions?

The air suddenly twisted, and a strong murderous air was approaching.

Levi was not surprised, and said calmly, "Even if you hide your aura, you still can't hide that murderous aura..." Levi stood up, turned around and looked at the tall figure behind him, "'Skinny Wolf' Varut, long time no see."

"Hmph, of course," the man wearing sunglasses clenched his fists, his joints creaking, "I can't wait...how about it, let's have a fight now?"

"I will not accompany you."

"Ah, ah, it really hasn't changed at all," a scantily dressed woman came out from another corner, holding a folding fan with a coquettish pattern in her hand, her vermilion lips seemed to be dripping with blood.

——【The Bell of Delusion】Luciola

"Hehe, next time," the blue-haired young man was wearing a mask, with a cloak fluttering behind him, and saluted respectfully, "I have no intention of hiding, I just want to see who will arrive first."

——【Gentleman of the Strange Thief】Bulubran

"Levi~ Long time no see~"

A little girl came bouncing from the depths of the night, her amber eyes gleamed, and she threw herself into Levi's arms.

"Ling, I'm waiting for you." Levi's eyes were gentle, and he stroked the girl's head tenderly.

"Is everyone here?"

Everyone looked towards the direction where the cold voice came from. There was a man in a white robe wearing glasses, and beside him was a boy in pink.

"[White Flour] Wiseman..."

"Hmph, there's me," the boy said with his left foot slightly backwards, making a polite gesture, and said in a strange tone, "Long time no see, everyone. I'm the supervisor of this project [clown] Keparella." .”

"Now that everyone is here..." Wiseman walked to the top of the steps, facing all the people gathered here, and opened his arms, "Then it's up to me... to tell the truth about the coup and the next plan Tell everyone one by one!"

After learning that the content of the mission was to carry out experiments in various cities in Libel with a black power guide named [Gospel], most people initially refused.

However, Professor Wiseman is worthy of being a sinister and vicious poisonous snake. Using the [Guerrilla Association] as a bait, he finally persuaded all members to participate.

"Hey... Levi," Varut weighed the power guide in his hand and asked absently, "Is there anyone interesting in this coup?"

The blond girl flashed in his mind, and Levi's fingers trembled unconsciously.

"……some."

"Hmph, is that so, then I'm looking forward to it."

"...You'd better not do anything other than the task."

"what?"

"No... nothing..."

Levi approached the box full of gospels, took one out of it, and looked at it carefully.

It has a dark appearance, exudes a mysterious atmosphere, and is an object that exists as a terminal to open the [Ring of Radiance].

Just participate in the experiment...

Will we see her again?

To reveal the truth of this world full of deceit to the world, and to challenge the world—this is the oath of "Sword Emperor" Reinhardt.

Only by forgetting all emotions can we become stronger.

Just when Levi was in a trance, Wiseman suddenly said, "Levi, regarding your part of the experiment, I have already arranged a good subject for you."

"is it?"

"Oh, that's right," the professor straightened his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and slightly twitched his eyebrows, "I heard that this coup d'état, you met a very interesting guy, right?"

"!!"

"Hmph... It seems that the future plan will be a good foil, and the leader will be very satisfied, right?"

Levi's purple eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a dangerous light flowing in them. He immediately closed his eyes to cover them up, "It's nothing special, it's nothing more than a group of guerrillas."

"Hehe...is that so?"

The professor let out a trembling laugh from the depths of his throat, once again facing everyone involved in this project.

"Everyone... Now I announce that the [Gospel Project] is officially launched!"

"Reveal the brutal truth to the ignorant humans!"

The night wind could not disperse Levi's chaotic thoughts, and many images were intricately intertwined.

Carling...

Joshua...

Onasa...

There is boundless loneliness in the purple eyes, maybe, [Sword Emperor] is no longer complete.

Regardless, his purpose never changed.

In order to let the world know the truth, he will do whatever it takes, even if it is that light, it is the same, and one day he will not be able to shake him anymore.
