Chapter 279

"Is that so?"

Hikigaya climbed up staggeringly.

That sleazy man was actually his classmate's father?

So because of his momentary kindness, because of a misunderstanding, it led to the loss of a fresh life.

What a joke.

What a joke!!!

How could he accept such a ridiculous result?

He stood tall.

A meaningless charge.

He also knew it, but ah, even if there was only a trace of possibility, even if he expected a miracle, even if...

He thought of a lot.

Thought of the chuunibyou fantasies of the past.

Thought of playing Kamen Rider games with friends when he was a kid, where he, the lonely one, always played the monster.

Thought of the Sky Curtain that spanned the era, where on the ancient land, heroes knelt down and received the King's investiture.

Subconsciously gripping the Savior Sword peripheral he had secretly bought.

Knight!

That's right, he also wanted to be a hero, to be a knight.

Whether it was the Sword of Promised Victory or the Lake Light of No Regrets, he liked them all.

He also wanted to wield the Sword of Creation to open up humanity's future under that majestic figure radiating infinite light.

In a trance.

He seemed to hear a chuckle.

"Is that so, you want to become my knight?"

His heart, hidden behind his lonely exterior, had responded on its own:

【Yes!】

【I want to become your knight.】

"Why?"

The voice seemed to come from the unreachable other shore, ethereal and indifferent.

【Because of longing, longing for your knight, longing to wield the sword for the glory of humanity, to open up humanity's future...】

"Is that so..."

The voice became solemn.

"Then... swear."

【Yes, I swear...】

In the dark, the oath naturally reappeared in his heart.

He couldn't help but speak.

"Under the witness of the Eternal Light, I will..."

"Humility."

"Honesty."

"Compassion."

"Valor."

"Sacrifice."

His voice grew louder and louder, more and more resonant, piercing through his body and soul, almost roaring it out.

Endless radiance bloomed from his heart, overflowing from his whole body, blooming with brilliant, gorgeous, holy light.

His wounds were healing.

His blood was burning.

His muscles were bulging, reaching the perfect growth state that only existed in his theory.

A sudden, shocking change.

The evil beast that was playing with its prey like a cat was stunned.

The desperate girl was now completely dumbfounded.

Many fans who were watching this step through her live stream were also dumbfounded.

Yes.

The girl wasn't stupid; no matter how strong her self-esteem was, she wouldn't go find a man so late at night.

Because of the appearance of the Sky Curtain, the girl who had embarked on the path of streaming had a flash of inspiration and simply opened a live stream.

This way, if anything happened, it would be convenient for fans to call the police for her in time.

Who knew that the boy was not only her classmate.

But also encountered a monster that only appeared in rumors.

The other side of the world smashed into her and the soaring live stream audience.

That terrifying monster that made people suffocate just by existing.

That boy who was so selfless he was almost a saint, charging in vain time and time again.

Made all the fans gasp, and the live stream audience exploded like crazy.

5312.... 12752.... 51385.... 25512....

It rushed to a million, two million, five million... almost without hindrance.

Only when they found the streamer wanted to run did they get anxious.

"Streamer, don't go, you can't run anyway, as long as you keep streaming, I'll tip you 500,000 yen."

"Me too, me too, I'll tip a million."

"I'll do 800,000."

"I'll do 10 million, give me the address, the whole platform will testify, I'll pay it to your family."

It added up to nearly 100 million yen.

Even if she was a dead person in the audience's hearts at this moment.

She was shamefully moved.

No way, the most terrifying terminal illness in the world is called: Poverty.

If her death could make her parents, her younger siblings live a happy life, then death perhaps wasn't so scary.

So.

Now looking at Hikigaya, who had clearly stepped into the mysterious realm, people exploded.

"Holy crap, magic awakening?"

"Mom, my eyeballs are red with jealousy, this is clearly not an ordinary awakening."

"I'm not jealous, I have a sense of whether I'll die or awaken in this situation."

"Er, now that you mention it, I'm not jealous anymore."

"Wait, don't you guys think this light looks a bit familiar?"

"Now that you mention it... HOLY CRAP!!!!"

Under the night sky.

Countless howls that shattered the roof rang out.

……

The boy roared, bellowed, and swore the oath that pierced through soul and time and space.

"Tie my soul and glory to this sword, forever wield it for the glory of humanity, bathe in the light of the Holy King..."

With his words, he actually grabbed an ancient, vast Holy Sword from the void.

That appearance.

Earthlings couldn't be more familiar with it.

That was exactly the Holy Sword possessed by one of the eight knights under that person on the Sky Curtain — 【Durandal, the Unbroken Holy Sword】. ===== CHAPTER 280 =====
