Twisted Mutual Love
“Aah……aaaaaaah!!!”
Fistoria screams because of the Phantom Pain that I’m showing her. Hah, I guess she has never suffered such pain before even after becoming an Angel and a Goddess.
“Guuuu……let, let goooo!!!”
Fistoria, who sheds tears and scatters spit at the pain that she has never experienced before, holds her hand out and releases balls of light at me to escape from this pain.
I can’t devote any energy into defence because I’m almost entirely preoccupied with grabbing Fistoria’s arm to make sure she doesn’t escape and giving her the Phantom Pain. I simply protect the minimum necessary vital spots and receive the rest of the attacks. The balls of light penetrate and hollow my body, but I ignore the pain and concentrate my effort on the Phantom Pain.
“Mylene. Maybe you really do hate me from the bottom of your heart. You probably hate me, who showered the captured you with various pain, ignored your crying pleads, and forcefully enslaved you.
I just simply wanted to increase the number of usable pieces at that time, but it’s different now! Feeling your warmth and your gentleness; I’ve come to cherish you. You became an irreplaceable existence that I have to have by my side!
Mylene, the real you may hate it. However, I won’t let you go no matter what you say! That’s why, Mylene! If you hate it, then I want you to say it with your own words! Not controlled by such a disgusting Goddess, but with your own words!”
I give her Phantom Pain until the limit. Furthermore, I approach Fistoria……no, I approach Mylene and hug her tightly. The spear that pierces my abdomen stabs further, but it’s too late for that now.
“……Ha……rdt……sa, ma”
“Mylene!”
The moment Fistoria’s presence faded because of the pain, Mylene surfaced. The balls of light she’s releasing to tear me off disappear and the strength that she’s putting into the spear also reduces.
“Sorry……because of me, Hardt-sama is……”
“This much is nothing. It’s for the sake of saving you. There’s nothing to worry about. More importantly, could you hear what I say?”
“……yes. My true feeling is, that I hate Hardt-sama. The pain that does not lessen no matter how much I cry and shout; the fear of being forcefully enslaved. There was not a single day that I do not hate Hardt-sama since that time.
I hate Hardt-sama so so so much; I didn’t forget about Hardt-sama even for a moment.
However, during the time we were together, that hatred had also gradually turned into love. Hardt-sama is lovely. Like the part of you where you are forcing yourself to act as an adult, like the part of you where you hug me tightly when you are sleeping.
I indeed hate Hardt-sama. However, I adore Hardt-sama even more so. That is why Hardt-sama……please kill me”
Mylene, who’s saying to me the cruellest thing I’ve heard from her until now while showing me the most charming smile I’ve seen from her until now. But, her expression was gradually turning callous.
“Haah……haah……you went and did it. Furthermore, the woman who’s supposed to be sealed came out as well. I ended up using my power again to suppress this pain! What are you going to do about it!?”
While lashing out, Fistoria, who’s no longer in pain, removed the spear that’s stabbed into my abdomen and cut off my arm that’s grabbing her. As my right arm flies in the air, Fistoria takes off high in the sky.
Fistoria is yelling something in the sky, but I can’t hear anything. I gather Magic Power in my remaining left arm. A shining black light is gathering to my left and forming a shape.
What appeared was a jet black sword, but it’s still incomplete. In order to let it absorb my blood, I pour the blood that spouts from my right hand onto it. Immediately after, the sword absorbs my blood and pulses.
“……wha, what’s with that, that disgusting sword. Are, are you planning to point something like that at ME!?”
“Aah, I’ll……kill you”
I mutter just that and head towards Fistoria, who flies in the sky. Fistoria releases balls of light at me one after another, trying to shoot me down, but I head straight at her without dodging.
I advance straight ahead even when my shoulders were gouged, my legs were blown off, and my abdomen was hollowed. Fistoria was terrified for the first time by such me. Aah……what an inciting look. How pleasant it is for the face of the individual whom I want to kill to warp in fear.
“Go, go awayyyy!!”
Fistoria, whose shout is close to a scream. The sword I created, God-Eating Demon Sword Dáinsleif, battles the barrier that’s erected along with that shouting.
“Uoooooo!!!”
I muster every ounce of strength I have left and head towards Fistoria. But, I was hindered by the barrier and couldn’t proceed. In fact, I started being pushed back.
I’ll be out pushed at this rate, but I’m not panicking. I mean, I have my reliable subordinate after all.
“Like I’ll let Master shoulder it alone! Third Sword Ultimate・Blast Blaze King(Sword Three Mastery・Prominence Ray)”
Liscia releases her ultimate behind Fistoria. The part where the sword explodes on contact is the same, but the scale of it on a whole new level. It’s an explosion that’ll undoubtedly blow the town away if it occurred in the middle of the town instead of the sky.
It’s so hot that it instantly evaporates the moisture around and leaves not even a speck of ash behind. Even so, that strike didn’t manage to crack the barrier, and Fistoria remains unharmed, but I, who didn’t activate a barrier, was also unharmed. The reason is
“Guguu……you, shitty woman! You saved that fellow……Hardt-sama! Do it now…..shut up!!”
Fistoria grasps her head and screams. The reason I was saved, is because I was saved by Mylene, who surfaced once again. I’m now inside the barrier Fistotia erected. In other words
“Go away go away go awayyyy!!”
No barrier stands between Fistoria and me! I extend my left arm to its limit and stab the Demon Sword towards Fistoria……towards Mylene’s body. The Demon Sword pierced her without any resistance. Mylene spits out blood from her mouth.
And then, the barrier vanished simultaneously. The irritable presence of Fistoria also disappeared. I erased the Demon Sword and tightly hugged Mylene with my remaining left arm.
“……fufu……it is warm”
“Aah, me too, Mylene”
“……Hardt-sama, I have a request”
“What is it, Mylene. I’ll listen to anything, alright?”
“In that case, please hug me even more tightly. So that your warmth does not disappear from my body”
“Aah, I’ll hug you so tightly that it’s painful and you tell me to stop”
I hug Mylene tightly as I was told by Mylene. Mylene says thank you and smiles in my arm. However, I can tell that her strength is gradually slipping away. I end up putting in my strength naturally.
By the time Mylene and I arrive on the ground, Mylene had stopped moving. Her eyes are no longer opened……at this rate.
“Master, is that what Mylene wished for?”
“……don’t ask strange things at this point in time, Liscia. It doesn’t matter whether Mylene wishes for it or not. I’ll do as I please. I’ve done so until now after all, and it won’t change from now either. Is it no good?”
“No way, I just wanted to confirm. Besides, I simply obey Master’s instructions. Now then, Mylene is waiting, you know”
Liscia says that and moves away slightly. I guess it’s Liscia’s way of expressing concern. Fuu, I’m almost at my limit from bleeding too much. Let’s quickly do it.
I place my left hand on the ground and pour my Magic Power. Immediately after, my Magic Power flowed in a large amount and reacted to my blood. My blood, that mixed with the Magic Power, is flowing towards Mylene.
Mylene’s body is newly reconstructed from my Magic Power and blood. Mylene’s beautiful golden hair turns black, and the wings that grew on her back also turns black. And then, horns grew from her head.
“Uu……”
And then, her slightly opened eyes were shining gold and looking at me blankly. And then, when her hazy consciousness became clear, she pointed a beautiful smile at me.
“Hardt-sama really will not let me die huh”
“That’s a given, isn’t it? I said it. I’ll have Mylene stay by my side from now until forever. I’ll definitely not let you go”
Mylene’s face and my face move closer naturally. And then, our lips touch. My first kiss with Mylene after a long time was the taste of blood.
