Chapter 49 Part 11 – A memory from the previous「108 times」. The conclusion. They are dying, but their feelings transcend time. And the loop begins again.

Bradd gasped. His chest chilled with fear.

Arnold was too reckless. It was tantamount to taking a carefree stroll through a crater on the verge of eruption.

「Don’t be pretentious and just come at me. Isn’t it because you actually don’t have the confidence? You talk too much. I’ll shoot you head-on with my six consecutive arrows, so go ahead and shoot that Demon’s Bullet.」

Arnold continued to talk with a proud tone. It’s not just reckless, it’s more like a suicidal act.

Alisa is as capricious as a thundercloud, but she is also strangely generous. Even when someone is hostile toward her, she sometimes laughs and lets them go. However, she will never tolerate insults. Leaving aside the time when she acted as a flower-like young lady, Bradd doesn’t know anyone who has ever insulted Alisa when she is showing her true colors and made it out alive.

「…… I’ll do as you wish. I’ll let you be torn to shreds.」

The blue flames of his death sentence leaked from Alisa’s clenched teeth.
Alisa’s beauty turned into a mass of murderous intent. Her seamless beauty has no trace of ridiculousness, but pure dreadfulness. It was just plain sinister.

A buzzing sound like a group of hornets gathered on Alisa’s right hand that had drawn back far behind. The huge red wings on her back created a vortex around Alisa. She was like a dragon whose reverse scale was touched and became infuriated. A mad rage must be swirling in Alisa’s heart. It was completely different from the previous Demon’s Bullet.

Even Bradd who was standing at a distance could feel the abnormality on his skin. The dreadfulness gave him goosebumps. Even if he was there, he would be able to defend against it. He has a gut feeling that if it was released, he would probably be obliterated without any way to do anything against it.
A cry to stop Arnold rose up from the back of Bradd’s throat. But Alisa is like a walking bomb right now. The slightest provocation could set her off. Bradd’s cry might just trigger her. As Bradd racked his brains, he locked eyes with Arnold who was glancing sideways. His golden eyes, contrary to his expectations, were very calm. It was not the gaze of a man that did not know his standing. His eyes were like a full moon illuminating a dense forest.
The look in his eyes dissuaded Bradd. And Bradd’s impression was correct.

「…… My right hand is …… numb ……!?」

A surprised voice spilled out of Alisa’s mouth. Alisa could not swing her right arm.
Her arm, which had begun to slide gracefully, came to an abrupt stop with a sharp pain. Her muscles were paralyzed and the flow of power was blocked. The power of the Demon’s Bullet, which had lost its way, tinkled sadly at her twitching fingertips.

Arnold observed the situation calmly with his golden eyes. They were the eyes of a hunter in pursuit of his prey.
The scene of him appearing to be ecstatic because the power of the blessing was all an act.

「…… That’s right, no matter how monstrous your techniques are, your body is that of a woman. It’s time for you to pay the price for all the reckless moves you’ve made. The more monstrous the technique, the greater the repercussions. You’re not like old man Matzo, whose body is like a block of steel. As you were too strong, you didn’t even notice it. If you push it too hard, you’ll break the rest of your right hand.」

He told Alisa coldly. The archer who coldly hunts down his opponents was standing there.

「…… And I’ll tell you one thing. Seraphy didn’t raise his hand to say goodbye. It was a signal for me to make you use the Demon’s Bullet two more times. I told you …… if you mock Seraphy, you will regret it.」

Alisa remembered that the dying Seraphy had unsteadily raised his hand. From that moment on, the two had been laying a trap. The series of actions of the two men were not intended to be a gesture of regret from their parting. It was meant to set Alisa up. Arnold’s words about delivering to Alisa what he had received from Seraphy were not a flimsy play of friendship.

Alisa stopped gnashing her teeth and her expression gradually calmed down, then she finally started to laugh out loud.

「…… Haha, ahaha!! That was brilliant. I apologize for underestimating you. I offer you this right arm as an apology, so give me a break.」

By the time Arnold and Bradd realized what was happening, it was too late.

「…… Demon’s Bullet.」

Without a moment’s hesitation, Alisa swung her right hand down. The tendons and muscles in her arm snapped apart. The bone creaked, made a sound of a snapping dead wood, and was broken in several places. The skin burst open like a pomegranate from the inside, opening wounds here and there. Alisa didn’t even look at her wrecked right arm. A piercing cry reverberated through the air. The power that had been building up in her body was released all at once and swallowed Arnold whole with a loud roar.

「Arnold!!」

The indescribable, spine-chilling sound of chewing drowned out Bradd’s screams. The force of several 「Frenzy」 shots competed with Arnold’s body, biting away at him. The flower of blood bloomed. In the midst of the blood, Alisa praised Arnold.

「…… You did great. You did not rely on the power of the blessing, but on the ingenuity of a man to cause a miracle. You have indeed shown me the willpower of a man. Then I too must show a woman’s willpower. There is no way I will let myself be defeated for the mere reason of being a woman. The seven phantoms would laugh at me. A woman can sacrifice everything in order to take away the one she loves. Sacrificing a single right arm is nothing. Goodnight, Arnold.」

Alisa spoke softly with both of her arms hanging limply, but her beauty was still intact.
She showed respect to her opponents whom she recognized.

At the end of her affectionate gaze, Arnold wobbled with blood spurting out of his body.
His bow was still ready with an arrow fixed to the bowstring. It’s a miracle, Arnold thought absently. Half of his body had burst open.
It was a terrible sight, as if he had been caught in a huge mincing machine and the right half of his body had been crushed. Half of his vision was stained with blood. His right eye socket was full of red stuff. The entire eyeball had been crushed. The little finger was bent in a strange direction, and a white object was peeking out of his right arm, which had been torn wide open. The bones were exposed. The Demon’s Bullet that Alisa shot had ripped a large chunk out of Arnold’s well-trained body. It was instantaneous. He didn’t even realize what had happened. Even if his entire body had been protected by armor, the result would have been the same.

‘…… Haha, how ridiculous. What a strong force …… my dominant arm is shattered …… I can’t even draw the bow anymore …….’

He let out a dry laugh at the devastation.
He realized that he was going to die soon.
He wondered how Bradd and Seraphy had been able to stand up again and again after being hit by Alisa’s terrible attacks, he was amazed as if he was talking about somebody else’s problem. His consciousness was already dim. Some parts of his brain or nerves must have been damaged. He heard an intense ringing in his ears. Eventually, it turned into a human voice. His train of thought was distorted, as if he were falling asleep. His consciousness was being detached from reality.

…… It hurts like his whole body was burning …… Arnold wondered why he gritted his teeth and endured such intense pain. Hasn’t he done enough? He has already shot hundreds of arrows. Blood was dripping from his armguard. He wished to be released soon.

Before he knew it, Arnold’s intense pain had been replaced by the pain in his hands during the training.
His mind was not present, it was flying somewhere else.

「Master …… I can’t do it anymore …… at least let me rest a little. Look at this, the skin of my hand is so torn ……」

Arnold was dreaming. He found himself crying out in a child’s voice. Arnold thought it a little funny, in spite of the child being himself, that the tone of his voice had a puppy-like sadness to it. Arnold had changed into the form of a child about eight years old. That in itself did not strike him as strange. Because dreams are always unexpected. He accepted it as a matter of course that he was not in the burning castle that he had been at until just a moment ago, but in a sunny green garden practicing his archery.
