Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

Carla said with a trembling voice.

"And, I am truly sorry... for making you worry about my affairs... and please forgive my willfulness - I would like to make a willful request of you."

"......explain."

"Could you please not tell that person what happened next?"

Carla smiled a little sadly: "That person... is my light. I don't want him to risk his life for me. Please don't tell her that I'm going to die. You can lie or hide it. Just let her think that I don't want to see him again."

"Even if I am about to die, I don't want him to die."

Boom!

As she spoke, Carla lowered her head heavily again, causing the floor to shake loudly.

Looking at her kneeling in front of him, Sieg squatted down and said, "Are you... ready to die?"

"I... don't know."

Carla's body was trembling slightly.

"It's just that since this is a problem caused by me, I should accept the punishment. This is... the outcome I should accept."

"...I understand. Since that's your decision, I respect it. I won't tell the truth to Shenwei. I will only say that your workload at the headquarters of the Divine Religion has increased dramatically, and it will be difficult for you to meet him in the future."

"Thank you very much for your gift, Master Sieg..."

Carla didn't look up, but just rested her forehead on the ground and sent Sieg out of her house in the most humble way.

Only after she heard the door closing did she raise her head, her face filled with lingering despair and sorrow.

(Goodbye, Kamui...)

(This time, I will say goodbye to you forever.)

--------------------------

It is located in a cave which is quite far away from the City of God and not close to the Hell Valley.

"Ok?"

Shenwei, who was sitting in the cave with his upper body naked and eating the food he had just hunted, seemed to sense something. He suddenly stood up, walked to the cave entrance and looked outside.

"…An illusion?"

After finding nothing unusual, Shenwei returned to the cave, sat down and fell into deep thought.

At that moment just now, he suddenly felt as if he had lost something very important.

(Could it be that something happened to that stupid woman?)

Shenwei couldn't help but think of it, but he quickly threw the idea away.

Are you kidding? How could anything happen to Carla? She is the most outstanding Saint of Time. The possibility of her being in danger and dying is almost zero. Besides, the Sun God Cult treats her like a treasure. How could he worry about her?

"...Forget it, after this meal, I will go and cause trouble for the Roaring Blood Clan and the Cult of the Sun God!"

“Just wait for me. Even without the magic sword, I can kill both the upper dragon and the dragon slayer!”

81. Execution

For Carla, this conversation with Sieg was her last conversation with anyone other than herself.

In the next five days, no one visited her room again. Although she could see through the window that a group of Time Saints were taken away from time to time, she was never summoned.

Until today.

"Manufacturer number 19835, it's your turn."

The door was roughly pushed open, and a Sun God cult soldier in military uniform walked in.

Carula, who was praying, stood up, walked to him silently, and stretched out her hands consciously.

"Crack!"

Special handcuffs were placed on her hands.

Carula immediately felt the flow of magic power in her body stop.

(Is it a tool that specifically restricts the use of magic? There are such things in the cult.)

I can feel something piercing my skin, it feels cold. It should be an anti-magic item made using the property of silver energy that can freeze magic power, right?

She clearly had no intention of resisting, so was it still necessary to be on guard against her?

"Let's go."

Holding the chain connected to the handcuffs, the soldier pulled hard and forcibly took Carla out of the room.

Soon, through the teleportation magic circle that had been set up long ago, in just a blink of an eye, the scene around Carula changed drastically.

The clean but somewhat monotonous scene of the central tower disappeared in an instant, the temperature that had always been maintained at a suitable level also dropped rapidly, and the bright environment that always occupied the surroundings also quickly returned to darkness.

The dry cold wind blowing in her face made Carla's breathing pause slightly, and she subconsciously looked forward -

(Is this outside... Amen?)

What comes into view is an endless desert.

Although it was night, the desert looked unusually bright at this moment. It was not because the moonlight was shining on the yellow sand, but because there was a strong enough light source not far away to dispel the darkness of the night.

“Crackle…”

The sun-like flame burns quietly.

Not far in front of Carla, there was a throne that was completely out of tune with the overall atmosphere of the desert. In the blazing flames, Carla could clearly see a skeletal figure bound by chains all over his body.

He is the Saint of the Sun.

And on both sides of the Sun Saint, the Dragon Slayers were also standing there.

"..."

She came to the front of the dragon slayers in silence. Without anyone saying anything, Kalula knelt down on her own. Even though her hands were still handcuffed and she felt a little uncomfortable, she still lowered her head deeply and rested it on the deliberately flattened desert.

"Buzz~~~~!"

The flames covering the entire body of the Sun Saint suddenly swelled up, and scorching waves swept across in an instant. The surging flames slowly condensed in the air, and eventually formed the image of a majestic old man.

[Here we go, the last Carula, manufacturing number 19835]

[The culprit who caused all of Carula to lose control]

The majestic sound like thunder resounded in the night.

[Although the report has been made by the Flame Saint, I will still listen to your words - do you have any excuses? ]

"..."

Carla remained silent, as if her mouth was sewn shut.

【Have you confessed your guilt completely?】

[Forget it, you don't have to excuse yourself, I made the mistake]

[Back then, I mistakenly thought you were a rare and excellent individual. The total amount of magic power that far exceeds that of an ordinary individual, and the time I spent running it, reminded me of the original Carula when she was still alive.]

[If we can mass-produce individuals like you, the combat power of the cult will be greatly improved. Therefore, I order the mass production of individuals of the same specifications as you, and you will be responsible for their education.]

[However, the result is like this - look back and see the evil consequences you have sown]

A strong wind blew across the desert.

The stronger light dispelled the darkness further away.

Carla stood up silently and looked behind her, and the moment she saw the scene behind her clearly, she froze in place as if struck by lightning.

Behind her, the vast sandy land that stretched to the horizon was now filled with countless brackets, and on each bracket was a Kalula's head!

Hundreds? Thousands? Tens of thousands?

Numbers have no meaning at all after this. The only thing that can be understood is that [all] Karula are here now!

[All Carula's loss of control]

[Countless orders were violated, resulting in the collapse of the battle line and the failure of major battles - I think you are accusing the sun god of being unworthy of belief]

[And now, all the Carulas except you have been abandoned. Next, we only need to abandon you as well, and the cult will no longer have any polluted things. Even if there are heavy losses, we can move forward again.]

The words of the Sun Saint echoed in Carula's ears.

But she didn't hear even a word, because now all she could see were the countless heads of Kalula!

Each head was stained with blood, and the corners of the eyes seemed to have shed tears of blood, leaving two bloodstains. The empty eyes of the long-dead combined with the equally empty expressions made people feel that even after death, they were still filled with despair.

They didn't know what they had done wrong. They just did what they wanted to do, but were told that it was an unforgivable crime, and then they were sentenced to death in batches.

"Ah ah ah..."

A sorrowful whine flowed out from Carula's mouth.

Carla, filled with despair, looked at the tragic scene before her and could no longer support her body, like a kite with a broken string that suddenly fell to the ground.

She thought she had prepared for the worst and was ready to accept punishment, but now, when she really had to face the facts, all her preparations disappeared.

(Why......?)

Tears welled up in my eyes and dripped into the desert.

Carula asked herself with tears in her eyes.

(Why...why did it turn out like this...)

(Why......)

She was only teaching her other selves one of the most basic common sense that a person could have. She was just telling them that they could still love each other even if they could be replaced at any time - was this alone such a sin?

(God...if you really exist in the world, please answer me...)

(Is my behavior really so unforgivable?)

Today's picture 2.jpg

82. What are you doing to my woman?

At the side of the Sun Saint, Sieg curled his lips as he looked at Kalula's collapsed figure.

"What a bad taste, a skeleton."

"Is this a punishment? Or torture?"

According to the schedule, today is the second to last day that Sieg stays here, and he originally did not plan to participate in the execution of the Saints of Time.

He could fully imagine what a disgusting scene that would be.

But the Sun Saint requires all Dragon Slayers to participate.

Now, looking at this scene, Zigg really regretted why he didn't have the courage to refuse? Why did he come here to eat shit?

[I know that you have a certain degree of affection for No. 19835. It is understandable that you would feel unhappy about the individual who served you being executed in this way.]

[However, Saint of Flame, I hope that this scene can be deeply engraved in the minds of every Dragon Slayer, so that they can learn from it in the future. I will also reflect on this and strive not to repeat the same mistakes in the future.]

"...Tsk, boring."

Sieg no longer looked at the Sun Saint or Carula, but looked at the sky in the distance.

He just wanted to go back to the Crainshid now.

(…I can’t sense Kamui’s presence. It seems like he really has no intention of coming.)

In the previous five days, Sieg found some time to return the magic sword to Kamui, and by the way, he told him about Carula.

Of course, it was the lie that Carla wanted him to tell.

[I plan to go out and practice for a while. During this time, I need Carla to temporarily replace me as the Dragon Slayer. She probably won't have time to come to you. Be prepared not to see her for ten or twenty years.]

[Also, I'll return the magic sword to you. I borrowed it from you for a while.]
