Passing through the huge Wonder Ride Book unfolding in front of him, several miracles were incarnated and soared in the sky with him. Following a spin maneuver in the air, they then bombarded Piero below like a comet plummeting to the earth!
"I am Ash!"
The reason why I pursue darkness and collect countless Dark Echo that represent resentment and negativity in the world is precisely because I long for heroes and want the story of heroes to continue!
Yes! I'm back, I remember it all!
"Readers who like heroic stories!"
The emerald green hurricane kicked into the belly from below, causing it to break through the clouds and fly to the sky. The scissor hand thrown down by the cute yellow lightning caused the lightning and thunder from outside the universe to tremble uncontrollably. After the blue ice arrow shot from the distance pierced the chest and froze the whole body, the red-orange fireball fell from the sky and lit up the entire world like the sun falling to the ground.
Ash, who was carrying Miyuki, held the hand that went from behind to his chest. After the two landed together, they saw that in the deep pit on the ground, countless tiny fragments that had been aggregated and reconstructed to form Piero began to emit more and greater auras of despair.
"All Tragedy Energy, turn into despair that engulfs the world!"
When Piero desperately used all his strength and gathered the complete explosion of Tragedy Energy from all mankind, no, almost the entire universe, everyone looked up to the sky outside the earth. It was an energy black hole comparable to the size of a planet. In the deep core composed entirely of Tragedy Energy, even light was attracted into it, and fluctuations like Piero's face could be vaguely seen.
If no one agrees that the tragic ending exists, then I will destroy the story itself!
Before the joy of just defeating a powerful enemy came, Reika and others outside were greeted by the black hole above their heads. Looking at the desperate power, they felt powerless and speechless for a while.
At this moment, a white light from the distance blasted into the sky. Although it only stopped for a short moment and was attracted by the black hole, it also brought them back to their senses.
"Qian, Zhi, Yayoi." Suiseiken Nagare on the left and Reika on the right Princess Holy Candle called out everyone's names one by one. "Now, let's do our best."
"You're wrong, Reika." He patted his friend on the shoulder, and the fear of despair disappeared from his straight face. "It must be successful! After all, Miyuki, Ash, everyone is still waiting for us."
"Yes!" Akane walked up and put the weapons in her hands together, drawing out the same flame from the top. "There are still many things we want to try and do! For example... fall in love or something?"
"In that case, I know a good place!" Yayoi, who was jumping up and down, suggested. "After defeating the enemy, let's all celebrate together!"
"It's rare to have a good idea!"
"Then it's settled Yayoi~!"
The joyful atmosphere eliminated the despair of the ending, and the girls mobilized their determination and strength. When the gradually brighter light merged and sublimated them, a pink light and shadow with wings on its back also came together with them from behind.
"Pegasus, you are now free here. Run towards the endless Mirai, and open up our world, our Mirai!"
The flying five-color Pegasus merged into one and became the fire phoenix that symbolizes absolute hope in the fairy tale kingdom legend. After the fire phoenix let out a high-pitched chirp facing the future, it soared towards the absolutely dark black hole outside the universe!
"Precure Miracle Rainbow Burst (Pretty Cure Miracle Rainbow Burst)——!"
"How could it be possible that even they have overcome despair?!"
"So I said it,"
The Fire Phoenix above the head and the wrapped rainbow light wave abruptly eliminated the black hole, and began to revive the entire world. At the same time, Ash and Miyuki flapped their wings together to push Piero's and push it out.
"It's not you who decides the ending of the story, it's us!"
"As long as our bond remains together, our hope will never die."
The goddess who was carrying Ash raised her hands, and the baptism of shining joy hit Piero's face one after another, causing the Tragedy Energy composed of it to begin to be liberated from the resentment and dissipate!
"As long as everyone is here, no matter how difficult Mirai is, we can move forward with a smile on our face."
Are you talking about friends? Obviously I have no friends...
"Shut up! The outcome of the world has already been determined!"
The extremely angry Piero aimed at the Rider in front of him and punched him, finally knocking the enemy who had always suppressed him to the ground this time.
"Ash——!"
Miyuki behind her called out with emotion for the first time, but there was no reason to worry her more. Ash shook her head and put down the left hand covering her face.
The broken eyepiece fragments were in the palm of his hand, and through the cracked mask of the helmet, he could see the dark eyes full of determination behind him.
"[[Finisher Reading]]!"
The burning broken sword was returned to its sheath.
"Aimless pursuit of the so-called darkness, the non-existent mind has forgotten the true meaning of the opposite of the so-called light." Ash held the broken sword with all his concentration, putting his body in a state where he could strike the final blow at any time. "With such a severe sense of déjà vu, I must kill him... no, defeat him."
"So Miyuki, show Mirai before my eyes!"
The so-called existence of a hero is an existence that even if the distance pursued by oneself from the past to the present is still closer to Mugen, even if the performance one wants to perform is just a poor imitation compared to the "real thing", as long as it is the path "he (she)" has traveled, no matter where he or she is, he or she can pursue it with all his strength.
If you want to ask why, her (their) overly noble posture and vision in the battle have surpassed the erased memory and are engraved in this body's reaction.
I don't know why, but I feel like I should be able to do it now.
"Yeah."
The girl responded softly.
I will assist you.
"Stretch your hands further forward."
Miyuki, who closed his eyes, still maintained that gentle smile, holding Ash's arm with his own hands, guiding him bit by bit to the direction of the grudges that must be cut off.
"The real Piero is a little further down."
"I understand."
No matter how you look at the movement, it is a sword that looks like it is imitating someone, but it is not similar to anyone.
It's just beyond the reach of mere imitation! What I really have to do is combine everything I have and all the miscellaneous skills I have mastered, so that I can get something.
"——"
Piero's final counterattack at this time was very frightening. After discovering that the last means of self-destruction had completely failed, it completely concentrated its remaining power and rushed towards Ash and Miyuki regardless of the darkness that would affect it. However, at this time, facing the two people who existed like evil ghosts in front of them, it felt particularly calm for an instant.
Smelling the pleasant smell behind his back, even Dark Echo, who was restless in his body, miraculously fell into tranquility, and the moves on his hands felt further pure.
Whose passionate guardianship is that, with its fiery and wild fighting spirit?
Whose decisiveness and cheerfulness gallop across the earth with such speed?
Whose beautiful and strong heart is not afraid of thunder,
And who depicts the meaning of cold side bones in the grace and magnificence.
And, more importantly than anything else, the sincere smile of a girl who trusts herself—appears in front of her eyes.
Yes, there is still an agreement with her that cannot be forgotten.
"With a heart of kindness, cutting off the space of evil is called——!"
The flying five-color light ball came into contact and merged into the holy sword. Following the man's dancing movements, they condensed on one point and reached the pinnacle!
"[[Miracle Full Draw——!]——!]"
Holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, he poured all his energy and will into the sword. He quickly raised his whole body and slashed away the resentment below.
"[[Miracle Finishing Slash!]!]"
Rainbow light burst out from the sword, followed by a decisive sword that melted everything in the world. The decisive sword roared everywhere, and instantly turned into a huge sword light.
Faced with such a killing sword, Piero, who knew he was unstoppable, stood still without evading, looking at Ash coming from above, and simply responded with all the power of darkness.
Until the light of Mirai finally drowned the darkness of despair.
"[Grand Finale (Grand Finale)!]"
Chapter 208: The Smile Still Not Enough (Volume 3 Finale)
In front of the last sword of heaven, Piero, the Emperor of Darkness, gathered all his strength and faced it without dodging or dodging, until the dark Mirai was pierced by the path of light, and he was also cut off by the two swords of darkness facing the light.
Above the head, in the world, the influence of the dark power is fading away. The world that was devastated by natural disasters and turned into a human hell has returned to its original beautiful appearance under the influence of the miraculous power of the girls.
Similarly, the story [Dragon Be Here] written by the girls for Ash is a brand new story born out of despair and filled with the prayers and miracles of the warriors. Just as Ash said, it is proof of changing the ending.
"I... I am, what's wrong?"
As the first confused person stood up from the Tragedy Energy, the second, and the third, more and more people followed the glimmer of light that appeared in front of them. With their souls and bodies melting together, they stood up from the abyss of the ocean and returned to the human world.
"Pierro." The goddess behind Rider had also ascended to heaven at this moment, and he asked with her back to the enemy as well. "As a villain who fights to the end, can you tell me what you think?"
Ash I don't hate it, at least it is very powerful at what it can do now.
"Really, I lost."
Looking at the darkness that was beginning to fade away from this body, Piero's face did not show the unwilling hatred after the defeat, but instead showed a faint sense of relief.
Since he is an existence that represents negative emotions, in addition to naturally wanting to lead the world to destruction, he also wants the best tragic ending as a tragic emperor.
"I have no dissatisfaction with losing to you."
"No, you didn't lose to me." Ash turned around and showed his own smile to Piero. "It's us."
"Are we...?"
Piero, whose existence began to dissipate, looked up. The four angels were happily watching the saved world slowly descending. In front of him, in the center of the indescribable darkness that swallowed all light, he could really see the only remaining shadow of humanity.
Moreover, the smiles on the shadow's and angel's faces were the same.
"Really? I didn't lose to the greater darkness, but to the tiny light between you and them..."
Piero then imitated his smile and accepted his own tragic ending with satisfaction.
"Ash, finally, please be careful..."
Looking at the scene where the deep darkness turned into light and disappeared, Ash, who felt inexplicably melancholy, let out a long sigh.
We defeated the enemy and saved the world, but Miyuki, if this is the only result, we still can't fulfill the promise...
"Ahem...Ash?"
"Miyuki?!"
The sudden voice from behind almost made me unable to believe it. Until the system reminded me that it was correct, the ecstatic Ash rushed to the clear pool in three steps and two steps at a time, and saw Miyuki climbing out of it, all wet.
"Hey, I can see Ash's expression of feeling sorry for me. Maybe Miyuki made money~"
Seeing the panicked look of Ash in front of her, the devout and sacred temperament like a pure goddess had already been dumped by Miyuki to the Kingdom of Java. The expression on her face now was Ash's most familiar silly smile that was so stupid that no one would be angry even if she saw it.
"In order for Ash to fulfill the agreement, Hoshizora Miyuki has arrived on time as scheduled!"
"... Stupid woman!"
"Ah, that's too much! You're calling me a fool or something like that even at this time--" While Miyuki was immersed in the joyful interaction and teasing with Ash, his expression suddenly changed and he pushed Ash away. "Ash, danger!"
It felt like being hit head-on by a truck reincarnated in another world. Ash rolled backwards several times on the ground and regained his balance. He saw an extremely twisted evil existence in front of him, with various features that looked like evil spirits.
"Gagu——!"
"AAAAA——!" The monster whose name was called out gave a distorted roar. The reason why Ash couldn't react was because this guy was standing in front of him and he couldn't feel the slightest reaction of life. Instead, there was only a chaotic resentment mixed with Piero's reaction when he disappeared.
Judging from his now deranged reaction, which can be described as crazy, this guy must be in some kind of abnormal state, both mentally and physically.
"It's you bitch again -" Gagu grabbed Miyuki who was coughing on the ground and lifted her into the air. A pair of bloodshot compound eyes directed all malice and murderous intent towards her. "You're standing in front of me again!"
"Cough cough cough!" Miyuki's face was short of breath and red, but there was no expression of being frightened by him. "Obviously! You have been hindering us and Ash!"
"Shut up!!!"
Gagu grabbed Miyuki and stood in front of Ash who was about to perform his famous backstab technique. His sharp claws scratched the girl's thin neck.
"You took everything from me - I'm going to take what's yours too!"
"You said you want to change? You want a happy ending?! I won't let her realize such a thing hahahaha - just go ahead and dream that you will have a good ending hahaha!"
Gagu, who was smiling extremely ferociously, raised his thumb and pointed at Ash, then crossed his neck with heavy force.
"Now, either you die! Or she dies!"
"No!!!" Miyuki, who knew Ash's character quite well, also widened his eyes. He kept struggling and kicked the monster in the back, even biting the monster's arm with his teeth until it bled, but he still couldn't get away. "No, no, no, no, no! Ash! No, no!!!"
"Ash ahhhhhh——!!"
Seeing the man in front of her silently raising the broken sword again, the girl let out a scream that was even more pitiful than when she was defeated by Piero and fell into despair.
"Miyuki."
Ash's voice was full of calmness, and the power contained in this calmness actually made Miyuki, who was crying and fussing, slowly calm down.
