The 300 Heroes of the Manga

"Lord...Master...?"

At this time, she was no longer the highest ranking sword elf girl with elf weapons, but she understood the sadness after all.

"Ester... don't show that expression."

Alessia put her still movable right hand on Esther's head, and said to her in a moaning voice that suppressed pain:

"Actually, I knew it would be like this from the beginning."

However, the girl who was only sixteen years old showed an expression of seeing through life.

"Crack—"

The phenomenon of crystallization gradually spread to the fingertips of her left hand.

At this point, the sword wizard finally understood.

It was [Curse] that caused this scene.

The sword elves, who had never contracted with the elves before, trembled uncontrollably.

So far, the curse—all the things transformed by the wizard magic and other spells that were broken by the holy sword, have been hidden in the holy sword.

When the curse breaks the limit of storage, it will start to counteract the girl who is the contractor of the Holy Sword.

Yes, it's not the sword elves who backlashes, but her contractor. This is the price of the power of the holy sword that can break through all laws.

The original name of Astor's magic outfit-[Devil Demon Sword], refers to the sword that can break all curses.

But those curses have not disappeared from the world. At a certain point in time, the holy sword that has accumulated countless curses will feed these curses back to the contractor.

Esther is not a holy sword.

She who allows users to exchange life for powerful power is undoubtedly a magic sword.

"How could... how..."

At this time, Esther could only watch helplessly as the girl's slender hand, which always gently stroked her head, gradually turned into a hard elf ore.

"Master! I... I don't know! I don't know there will be this--"

"It's okay... Esther."

Alicia smiled lightly and looked at the helpless sword elf girl in front of her with a gentle expression.

"Master... you know it will happen, but..."

"Yes. So... it's not Esther's fault."

While stroking Esther's silver hair, the girl tried her best to show a serene expression.

But her voice was trembling, and there were faint tears in her eyes.

This is a matter of course—whether because of fear of death or fear of separation.

Because she is not a saint at all.

It was just an ordinary sixteen-year-old girl who was burdened with unreasonable responsibilities.

After all kinds of battles, facing the enemies of the people and the betrayal behind her, she finally had the opportunity to unload the heavy burden and completely return to her shepherdess' essence.

"the host……"

"Goodbye, Esther... my only good friend."

"No...Master...no..."

As if finally unable to suppress it, as if seeing the end--

Esther said in a small voice, "Don't go...Alessia!"

"Haha... I'm so happy, this is the first time Esther... called me by... name..."

Staring into Esther's eyes, it finally crystallized completely.

"Crack—"

"?!"

Esther can only watch the tragedy happen.

The moment when she watched this girl who had communicated with her for the first time turned into a transparent crystal, and then burst into pieces.

Warm tears came out of her eyes and slid from Esther's cheeks.

"——Alessia!"

The sound of crying echoed in the Demon King's Castle.

This is the saint who bears the expectations of the people and finally saved the world——

The final outcome.

Although he was awakened early, Cao Shurui's mood was still heavy.

Even if I told myself over and over again in my heart, it was just a story of a character modeled on Joan of Arc, and it couldn't restrain the sadness that was uploaded from the engraving of the elves and flowed down the river.

"Really... You are also watching this scene, Esther..."

In order to break this contract, the sword elven girl did not hesitate to dig up her wounds.

But because of this, Cao Shurui didn't want to let go.

The latter thing can be guessed without seeing it.

Astor's time stopped on this day.

Just now, Cao Shurui forcefully let it flow again.

"Is this the reason you refused to make a contract with me?"

In a panic, the dream was shattered, as before, planning to exclude Cao Shurui.

Obviously, Esther's cry was still clear over there, but the whole world began to reject Cao Shurui.

He understood that this was because the sword elven girl thought it was enough.

"Is this the reason why you still insist on finding a way to break the elf contract between you and me?"
