I rely on myself

Chapter 430: Enlightenment

“Hehehehe…”

Hearing Lukulazia's joyful laughter, Erica couldn't help but frown her beautiful eyebrows, looking puzzled.

As if seeing Erica's puzzled look, Luklacia conveyed the words to Erica through her familiar, the black cat.

"Hehe, just like you said, even if my body was still intact, I would be powerless to deal with the current situation, let alone the current state of being unable to move. But I never said from the beginning that I came here to interfere in this battle. It's just that you think so."

"…………"

Hearing this, Erica fell silent for a moment, because it was the truth.

In response to Erica's silent response, Lukulacia did not stop talking, but took advantage of the victory to pursue: "On the contrary, Erica, although you don't seem to realize it yet, from what you said before, you actually hope that the boy can get help, right!"

The moment she heard this, Erica's face changed, and then she quickly regained her composure. However, this composure seemed forced, like glass full of cracks that would shatter at the slightest touch.

"Haha, it seems you have realized it. So, have you decided what to do?"

In response to Erica's silence, Lukulazia directly pointed out her feelings at the moment and even asked the question about Erica's future.

"…………"

Erica was silent for a while, then a bitter expression appeared on her beautiful face, and she spoke in a low tone that was totally inconsistent with her.

"Maybe it's just like what you said, but even if it's the case, what can I do now? Even you, the witch of Sardinia Island, can't do anything about it. How can I, a so-called child prodigy, help him?"

Faced with the facts that were pointed out directly, Erica finally stopped avoiding her emotions. While expressing her inner helplessness, she looked at the disadvantaged figure with worried eyes.

Looking at Erica in this state, the black cat familiar sighed in a very human way, and then said in a tone of regret: "So you are obsessed with this, it really makes me speechless."

While saying this, the black cat's face showed a human-like speechless expression.

Erica was bewildered after hearing what Lukulacia said, totally unable to understand what she meant.

Lukulazia shouted at Erica, who hadn't fully woken up yet, "Instead of thinking about these things, don't you think you should take action?"

"…………"

"Since you already understand your intention, just go ahead and execute it. Just like before, you knew how reckless it was to face the gods head-on, but you still stood up to protect innocent people, didn't you?"

"…………call------!"

Erica took a deep breath, and her gloomy face regained its composure. Then——

Erica's beautiful face showed her usual confident and gorgeous smile like a lioness, and her spirits instantly lifted as she spoke. "Thanks! Lukulazia, thanks to your stimulation, I can finally face my own heart."

As she spoke, Erica once again gave the black cat familiar the same confident, gorgeous smile she had when they first met.

"Please tell my uncle that I, Erica, have failed to live up to his expectations. Even though it's very irrational and I don't care about the position of the Copper and Black Cross, I still want to help him, so I can only say sorry here."

After saying these farewell-like words, Erica did not wait for Lukulacia to respond. She directly changed into her combat outfit and rushed into the battle between the monsters without looking back.

Looking at Erica's receding figure, Lukulazia's belated reply came from the black cat familiar: "......Apology to Lord Paul? That's not certain, Erica. Maybe Lord Paul won't be disappointed in you after knowing this. Instead, he might be sincerely happy about your decision."

When saying this, Lukulazia's tone revealed infinite emotion.

Back to the battle.

Facing Tony, who had taken out the two powers of "Torn Silver Hand" and "Immortal Steel", which could almost be called the strongest spear and the strongest shield, Kusanagi Godou's situation was indeed not optimistic.

Not only were there obvious wounds all over his body, but the power of the magic sword was left on these wounds, which not only prevented these wounds from healing, but made them even more serious.

This made Kusanagi Godou's condition worse. Although God Slayers were like endangered beasts and the closer they were to desperate situations, the more ferocious their power would be. However, this could not change Kusanagi Godou's increasingly bad situation at this moment.

Just as Godou was thinking about what to do in the face of the unfavorable battle situation, a voice that sounded familiar and trustworthy came to his ears, even though they had only been together for less than a few days.

"Godou!!!!"

Hearing this extremely familiar and trustworthy voice, Godou turned around and subconsciously called out the other person's name: "Erica!!!"

Looking around, he saw that it was Erica. Looking at the beautiful figure, Godou burst out at his fastest speed without hesitation, broke away from the battle, came in front of Erica and caught her.

Tony stopped attacking in confusion at this sudden change. It was not because he was afraid of Erica, but because he was simply confused.

After all, as Tony had said to Godou before, for the God Slayers, there are very few people who can make them take them seriously and truly regard them as opponents. Generally speaking, there are only gods, or their own kind, and of course, there are also those new beings that were born half a year ago.

That's why Tony was puzzled as to what the purpose of this girl who suddenly barged in was.

Unlike Tony's confusion, looking at the girl in his arms, Godou's heart was full of trust.

How did this trust come about?

Is it because he is a layman in the world of magic, while Erica is a child prodigy who often explains relevant knowledge to him?
Or was it the time before when we faced the gods together and overcame difficulties together?

In short, Kusanagi Godou was full of trust in Erica's arrival, and he intuitively felt that she was the turning point in this battle!
