"Megumi."
Break down all obstacles along the way and directly invade the core area. Ash saw Darkness Girl, who was lying on the throne with his head tilted up and looking at him: "Unlovely".
"Ash... ah, my Ash! No one else can get in the way. It's like a dream to meet you again. I've been waiting for so long~"
The girl on the throne had a smile without a trace of haze on her face. She was wholeheartedly happy that Ash responded to her matter.
"Hui, come home with me."
Ash rarely took the initiative to reach out to her, but this time the girl didn't hold it. Instead, she tilted her head as if she didn't understand it at all.
"Home...? Ash, what are you talking about? There is no need to do anything else. Isn't it great here? How about making this our home after abandoning everything?"
I have given up all the happiness in the past, so I am as unfortunate as you to create this world that is exclusive to the two of us.
"Really..."
Ash shook his head silently, saying this in such a relaxed tone, but you still said "no".
Not at all.
Putting aside the last chance, Ash, who had just arrived, looked around and found that this world made of dark shadows seemed to be mixed with many other things. For example, the decoration of Megumi's room that lacked girlishness, the street where they first met, the dilapidated theater where they watched a play together... and the stage built by the palm of Jet Icarus that day.
Everything is a "beautiful" existence for Hui.
"Why is this happening?"
Ash only asks this one simple question that represents everything.
"Why?"
Because you refuse to accept it.
"I never thought that you would do such a thing one day!"
"Then, Ash's impression of Pretty Cure should be the same?" The girl who put down her crossed legs and sat up looked directly at him with extremely "pure" eyes. "That's wrong, Ash."
"I am not Ai, Lei, or Miyuki. Even that white ordinary person Ayumi is different from me. I am not anyone in your memory."
Since I can't be Pretty Cure, I'll become her opposite existence.
"I can only be Aino Megumi, I am Cure Lovely, I am Unlovely, I cannot be anyone else!"
So, don't just associate me with other people in your memory!
I will also be angry.
"Is this why you hurt others?!"
The air wave that burst out from Ash's body in an instant blew away the darkness clinging to his feet. Even through the helmet, the girl could clearly see Ash's ferocious face.
"As long as it's something Ash likes! Whether it's the hero's or Pretty Cure's, I hate them all!"
Ash You don't hate that Phantom Queen either, right? No... you like it, right? So I hate her!
And everyone... I hate them all!
A terrifying shadow appeared behind Hui, who also acted ferocious. The arrogance between the two collided crazily and annihilated each other in this dark world.
"Don't involve other people. If you hate me, just take revenge on me!"
"Hate? Revenge? Hahahahaha... My Ash, how is this possible? Haven't you said it several times? All of this is because I love you, I love you, more than anyone else in the world!"
Therefore, I want to share this pain and sadness with the people you care about and love! Let everyone understand the love between you and me!
"Haha~ Seeing me who is even more unreasonable than myself, and it seems like nothing I can say is of any use, you must have become extremely angry towards this person who hurt your new love, right?"
The girl's smiling provocateur,
"So, stop suppressing yourself."
In the end, the momentum emanating from Ash, who had gone from being silent to saying nothing, was completely overwhelming. It even affected the surrounding "world" and began to shake. The only thing that didn't move was the clear power piercing from the eyes under the black face that was completely covered by shadows.
"I didn't."
I have seen and felt the pain of hurting the people you care about because of the problems between you and me~ You have become incredibly kind, but I actually don't hate it~
"Sa, now it's your turn to make me feel as much pain as you want!"
Facing Ash, who was so powerful that he could tear him apart with just his eyes, Hui Fei was not nervous but excitedly pulled out the red lightsaber in his hand.
"To give the love you gave me back again!"
Chapter 239 Masquerade
You said you want to give me back the love I gave you? In a way that hurts others?
Ash's fists gradually tightened.
"I understand."
Card Case Sword, who was pulled out from the waist, was held tightly by both hands, and his upper body gradually lowered his center of gravity. Ash, who had repeated the confrontation action countless times, breathed out slowly and pointed the sword at the woman he loved.
"Aino Megumi, Cure Lovely, I will save you."
Those eyes that know love are looking for the reason hidden in the darkness.
"Even if it is, knock you down."
"Hehehe, hehehahahahaha, Ash... Hehehehahaha!"
Looking at the weapon that Ash was pointing at himself with utmost seriousness, Hui first covered his mouth and chuckled, then gradually couldn't help it anymore, until finally he turned into a full-throated laugh, and his body was shaking with laughter.
"My Ash, what are you talking about? You want to knock me down just to save me?"
"What are these? But if this is what you think..."
Ash The thought you had before was that you wanted to quickly go to the afterlife world you know to meet Him again, right?
It's impossible, I won't let Ash go. It is for this reason that I created this "distant" world that only we can reach!
"Sa, let's start this masquerade that belongs only to us."
You said you wanted to die, right?
Okay, if that's what you want, let me watch over your eternal sleep!
"Cang!"
The speed that disappears in the blink of an eye, the power that crushes the ground around your feet with every step, the two swords that are hostile to each other for the first time are at full strength!
The colliding weapons sparked sparks in the air. In the ongoing stalemate, Ash was pushed to his knees for the first time by the gradually amplifying force. The shining red sparks turned into materialized malice and ignited on the emperor's body, adding several more scars to the pink armor.
"You seem to be a little out of your depth, Ash."
This is not okay, don't let it spoil the fun anymore, just like I have always spread love by helping others, let us spread this love through "mutual understanding"!
"But I'm sorry, I have no intention of showing off to Ash!"
"You will get carried away with a small advantage."
The sword that seemed to have been thrown away was suddenly deflected in Ash's hand, right in front of the girl. With a crisp sound of flicking the knife, Hui, who left a trace of green smoke burning on his hand, was knocked back!
"I don't remember teaching you this way, Megumi!"
"Ah... I feel it. This is what Ash taught me, pain——!"
"Swipe Lala——" Hui, who was about to be stabbed by the sword, repeated his old trick. Focusing on the target, he instantly split into three clouds of mist around him and then turned back into three Unlovelys. Just when they each raised their swords and attacked the center Ash with great excitement, they were shocked to find that their weapons went straight through the Phantom left behind by Ash. The skills they had used to deal with Ash were completely returned to them by Ash!
Where have you gone? Ash has gone there!
The Unlovelys who couldn't find their "love" leaned against each other with ferocious faces, and then gradually they saw the same three emperor knights standing in front of their respective Hui with murderous aura.
"[AttackRide(AttackRide)Illusion!]"
"What, Ash is full of love, isn't it?"
Ash said nothing.
"..."
Ash just raised their weapons and pointed them at each other, then rushed forward without even saying hello. Not long after, there was a burst of "playful" laughter.
"Hahaha, I'm so happy Ash! I completely understand your past thoughts, what about you?"
Staring at the girl's red face, he didn't even have the freedom to feel sadness.
One Imperial Cavalry and one Unlovely each stabbed their weapons into each other's hearts and died together. Another Imperial Cavalry kicked the other Unlovely back into the mist. Hui, who was behind her, struck him directly with a sword through the heart and quickly stepped back. Almost at the same time, the long sword thrust out of Ash's hand on her side drew a slender line of blood between her fingers.
"Suck~"
Licking the back of her hand like a kung fu movie star, she stood opposite the man holding the sword high in a solemn manner. The girl looked at him with great satisfaction.
"Whether you want it or not, even if you say you don't want it, your body is as honest as ever."
You will never bear the influence of others when you are doing good things. I like this about you!
"I will never forget the battle on the battlefield."
Shaking off the black energy that had entangled him from unknown time, Ride Booker Sword, who held the sword lightly in his hand, pointed the scarred sword blade at the enthusiastic Kei again.
"What a great expression, so full of fighting spirit and fighting spirit! Sure enough, you are the real you only when you are fighting. This is the Ash I know! This is the man I love!" The girl who took her hand off her chin said happily but sinisterly. "Seeing that you can find your true self, I am really happy for you!"
"The joke ends here."
"What's wrong? This look in your eyes doesn't seem to recognize me. It's so cold~ It's so cold that it hurts my heart."
Ash's eyes became more focused, but in addition to the overflowing courage deep in those burning black pupils, grief and regret were also clearly visible.
"In return, I will use my resentment to attack you who I love most with all my strength!"
Hui once again took the initiative to provoke a fight.
The weapon is an extension of the two people's hands and feet. In such a high-speed confrontation, neither person has the opportunity to use other special abilities. Finally, in the confrontation with countless sparks, a buzzing sound echoed between the two, and Ride Booker Sword's cracked sword shattered into pieces.
"Ha, it seems my love has won!"
Hui, who was extremely excited, naturally would not give up this hard-won opportunity. The lightsaber in his hand flashed straight at Ash's head.
Whether it is the power of hatred of Red God, the power of darkness belonging to Evil God Grimde, or the power of love and hatred that Kei has concentrated all these powers at this moment, the height it has reached has far exceeded the level of the evil BOSS in this world, so much so that it can easily suppress Ash at the beginning.
"...!"
Facing the red blade of light falling straight down, Ash didn't panic. After his retracted fist made a tight sound like exploding beans at his waist, the next second amidst the sound of breaking wind that turned the surrounding darkness into pure white, Ash took action brazenly!
"Click!"
Megumi's eyes widened in disbelief when he heard the voice again, in front of Ash's fist.
The red lightsaber she made by deliberately condensing her hatred was shattered into photon fragments all over the sky, just like the blade fragments stuck on the ground at their feet.
Chapter 240: Even the things you loved deeply will be forgotten as long as you wear the mask of sin.
The place where they are fighting now belongs to Hui's world, and there is no doubt that she has the advantage of the situation.
But Ash managed to pull the situation back in the worst possible situation, not to mention that Ash, who was no longer fighting for death for what he was carrying in his heart and for what he was carrying now, was even more so at this moment -
Stronger than ghosts and gods!
"Boom!"
The huge shadow of counterattack gradually enlarged in the girl's sight, and then there was a pain that was enough to "wake up" her.
Hui's mind was racing with a fist pressed on his face. Did you realize that my sword was about to break a long time ago, so you deliberately exposed it? She didn't have time to think about it, and without losing her ruthlessness, she directly inserted the broken lightsaber into it again!
"Chi-!"
The violent impact pushed the two men away in opposite directions. After Hui, who was smiling but not smiling, touched the mud off her face, Ash also pulled out the hilt of the sword inserted in her waist.
The ground beneath both sides gradually turned scarlet.
As Hui said, this desperate fight between the two sides is like a dance where each other dances in masks.
It's just that one person wears it on his face, and another person wears it in his heart.
"It hurts... is this my blood?" He took his palm off the tip of his nose, and the scarlet liquid kept dripping down. "Hehehe, as expected, pain and sadness can make both parties feel each other's love. Ash Isn't this giving me the love I expect?"
"This is not love, just violence."
"You still think so? You obviously have a beautiful color, what a waste~" Seeing the bright red scattered on the ground, the girl shook her head regretfully and suddenly raised her hand, quickly concentrating the energy that could absorb the light. "Then let's continue to see it!"
