The Devil Tears: Lord of the Night
Arc 1 Chapter 49: Elizabeth's Will

After fighting against the Red Sun, Alfonso then left the city with – very severe injuries. He then rested in the forest of the Western City and sat under a tree.

“Hahh... hahhh... 2 my rescue artifact has been destroyed and I was forced to accrue the Holy Spaniard Dagger. What a stubborn witch.” Alfonso then saw his favorite robe given by his mother Queen Jimena Kingdom and a bracelet given by his beloved woman. Alfonso was very reluctant to use the Spaniard Holy Weapon because of the Cooldown time is quite long, which is 2 months.

He then drank some healing potions and waited to recover a bit before returning to his hiding place. Shortly after, he saw a tattoo on his wrist moving and shining.

‘Elixir you are looking for, is in one of the sacred places in the Great Forest of Greenwood.’ A voice sounded in his head.

The tattoo on his wrist then disappears sign his contract with Vlad ur Dracul is done.

“Letizia... I will get closer to awaken you..wait....“ Alfonso muttered while looking at the two moonlight in the sky while shedding tears.

“In this world …. Your smile is the most precious to me.”.

Liz POVs

“Why did the Master kill those Holy Knights?” asked Liz who still called him Master even though it was clear that he was a Devil Cult.

“Why Master chose this path!” liz's voice sounded disappointed and angry.

Rolf then stood up and clasped his sword tightly.

“Someday, you will understand my actions Liz,” said Rolf.

Seeing his Master looking prepared to fight, Liz looked surprised.

“No Master, I don't want to fight you.” Liz is weak.

Looking at the somewhat shaken Liz, Rolf then strengthened himself and spoke firmly just as he was training Liz.

“Do not show your weak side to Liz's opponent!” firmly Rolf. “Hold tightly to your sword, and hold fast to your Knight principles. I am one of the Devil Cults! I killed – innocent people and caused damage to mankind!.” Shouted Rolf.

“Be prepared Liz!” Rolf then started running towards Liz intending to fight him using only one hand.

Seeing this Liz then prepared her horse – and held Rolf's sword. Clangs! Clangs! Clangs! Their swords clashed. Each clash of their swords made Liz remember a few days while training together with him. Clang!!! Liz bounced away from holding Rolf's attack half-heartedly.

“Fight Liz! Is it just your determination?! And you think you want to be the best knight in the continent?! don't make me laugh!” Rolf then began to attack Liz again.

Although the balance of his body was disturbed due to the loss of an arm, Rolf's attack still had good strength and accuracy. Clangs! Clangs! Clangs! Liz stepped back to accept all of Rolf's attacks.

“Bughhh!!” Rolf then kicked Liz in the stomach and made her bounce.

Liz then tried to get up, but her hand felt a wet sensation from the blood of the – knights that Rolf had killed. The bodies of – of their bodies seemed to tell Liz about her naivety when dealing with crimes committed by people closest to her.

‘Mentalku is still weak..’ thought Liz.

Liz then stood up and breathed a long breath and rounded her resolve. He clasped his sword tightly then looked at Rolf seriously. Seeing his expression, Rolf then smiled.

“Master, I will wash away your – sins all this time. I will bear this mental burden and will become stronger!” liz said confidently.

“Please!”

Liz then starts running and begins to launch an attack on Rolf. Clangs! Clangs! Clangs! Some of his slashes were able to be easily tackled by Rolf.

“Still less! Has your training been in vain – sia?!” Rolf started to provoke him.

Liz then uses acceleration magic and slashes her sword towards Rolf's neck. But Rolf dodged and there was an incision wound on his cheek.

“White Death” puffs of smoke escape from his body and form 2 solid bodies.

Rofl then turned to attack Liz. Clangs! Clangs! Clangs! Liz then keeps her distance from her 3 enemies and casts magic.

“Fire Ball!” Boshh. But the fire magic did not make the body of Rolf clone scattered.

‘Should how this?’ Liz starts to get confused against her Master who, although dying, is able to give her a tough fight. Looking at his expression, then Rolf started talking.

“Is that all you are capable of? Have you forgotten what I taught you?”

Liz then thought and started preparing her horse –. Rolf and his 2 solid embodiments then ran towards Liz. Liz then started running and prepared to use reinforcement magic on her legs.

They then passed each other and passed each other while shaking their swords. SPLURTT!!!

2 Rolf's guard was split in two and with a slash wound on his chest, he knelt down and dropped his sword.

“You managed to master it, Liz,” said weak Rolf.

“Master!” Liz came to her Master and knelt in front of him.

Liz looked at her master who was already having trouble breathing. Rolf had also long lost a lot of blood due to the injuries he suffered during the battle earlier.

“Master... a-I.” Seeing the condition of his Master Liz began to shed tears while bowed.

“Liz.... Listen to me..” said Rolf who began to have difficulty speaking. “I did a contract... to heal my son.. from a curse he had a few years ago,”.

Liz looked into the Master's eyes.

“In this world.. hahhh... there is no truth…. And white... Liz,” clear Rolf.

“Find it...your path... as... a True Knight....hahh...Make your vow......guidance of your life...” Rolf then holds Liz's shoulder.

“Training with…. Reminds me of my son. His name is Theo..He is the only –...memories left behind... by my wife Liz felt Rolf's pulse begin to weaken.

“He's the same age .. with you. hahh... if you meet him …. Say it.. Her mother and father loved her very much..” Rolf's body collapsed in Liz's arms.

“Thank you .. Liz.. for making the end of my life better..” after saying the word – said it Rolf then breathed his last.

“Master... Master.. Thank you for your guidance all this time” Liz cried and hugged her Master's body.

On the other hand, Luciel watched the battle of Liz and her Master clenched his hands looking at Liz who was crying before the corpse of her Master.
