The foothills are surrounded by mountain ranges.
Normally, the scenery would have been majestic.
But not now.
You look terrible, don't you?
Aigel muttered.
The mountains are chipped, and smoke and fire are in the air.
I heard people screaming out loud.
This place is like a battlefield.
No, it's too much to call a battlefield.
What's that?
"Probably a spirit." It's quite a number. Moreover, all the top spirits..... "
Spirit.
By the way, I was summoned to the Elves. You mean one of their kind.
"I think Sheila is probably over there... hmmm"
Point to the part of the forest where Aigel is deep. There is a lot of greenery, and people are invisible.
However, I can also sense the magic power of humans by using detection magic.
"It looks like you're here." I'll let you go first. "
"Roger that. I'll move on to dealing with the spirits." I hope you can help me as soon as you're done with your requirements. ”
Is Sheila okay?
"One way or another, we have to prioritize Sufi-san." These spirits aren't going to be a little chatty. "
There seems to be plenty of room for him to say it with a cool face.
But it doesn't look too strong.
I'm sure you have the battle skills, but I wonder if you really have enough power to rescue Suffi.
Rather, it must not seem like the right choice for him to run away from here.
Still, I believe that Agel seems to have a strong sense of self-confidence.
It is more innocent to bother to stop imitating.
Above all, there was something I had to prioritize.
Well then, please take care of Spi.
You may not have to go though.
Looks like Aigel knows that too.
My detection magic has captured a powerful man to protect Spi. Some of them seemed to have extraordinary abilities.
If he fights Nerim, Sheila's body won't survive.
Defeat the violent spirits, avoid them, and reach Nerim.
It seemed like he was wielding an evil sword and summoning spirits while creating cracks in space. The Elves have different methods.
I guess it was a prerequisite summoning procedure.
I don't mean to use it from the beginning, but I know I'm calling it in to destroy a whole area.
"You seem to know a lot of magic." You're not a swordsman, but actually a wise man? "
I'm better at sword technique.
He replied flatly without glancing at me. [M]
Is the evil sword in your hand your shell or something?
"This is the original evil sword." I was magically imitating the shape and performance of this evil sword. It was easy to imagine because it was my favorite product when I was a person. So, how did you get here? "
"Good luck."
"... that..."
My questioning seemed boring.
I sighed and stood up my sword.
"I'm not going to fight."
Then what?
"Give me back Sheila." And I want you to come with me to the riff. "
Riff. That little girl, isn't she? Why?
Pretty skeptical.
I don't know why either.
I just wanted you to bring me here, so I took you there.... no matter what I say, I don't think you're going to nod honestly.
I trust Rif, but Nerim isn't.
"On the contrary, I would like to hear it." Why are you rambling? Sheila's body wasn't all you wanted... right? "
"Do you think my original body is decaying?" I'll give you back this body as much as I can. "
Well then, what do you--?
Say it and stop.
Nerim's metastasis.
I wiped out the magic and interrupted the magic.
No, you can't.
I can't make it.
Wait!
"I can't wait. I'll give you some advice." You don't have much to do with Astaire. ”
The next moment, Nerim was gone.
Instantly unleashes a wide range of detection magic. ― …… I found it.
Sheila had possession for a long time, but she didn't know the effective range of my detection magic.
Or maybe you can escape right away.
(I want to contact Quena.)
Use your Alliance Card to tell Quena where Nerim is going. Just give us an approximate location and we'll be able to track you down.
... I added a couple more words.
(Now, and)
Go to the spirits who are still on the run.
We must be in a hurry.
The form of the spirits varied a lot.
Some resemble monsters, while others resemble nature itself. The flames, for example. There were others that seemed to have grown.
If there is a problem, is there no reason?
Nerim is deliberately rampaging them, so it's only natural.
Okey-dokey.
The Spirit's defeat method was easy.
Provide more than a certain amount of stimulus.
Whatever.
Hit me.
Kicking.
Hit magic.
Then we'll be back where we came from.
It was the Spirit World, wasn't it?
(But there's a lot of them.)
The spirits were encircling the structure.
Let's talk to the defending faction for the time being.
"Metastasis"
"Whoa!"
One of the knights is amazed at my presence.
I swung my sword and stopped.
"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait." I'm here, so I want to help. "
"Master Zide...!?"
He seemed to know me.
Then it would be quicker to talk.
“Who's the commander? I want you to tell me what I have to do."
"W-Well, if that's the case--"
"I'll take care of your work."
Red hair.
Strong body.
It carried a great sword and was enveloped by sophisticated magic power.
Is he about forty years old?
Lo, Reuters!
“You go. I'll tell Zed.”
Got it!
Reuters.
That's what one of the knights called it.
I see, he was the most powerful adventurer in the world, the [Stellar Drop] Reuters.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." I'm Reuters. I've heard a lot about you. "
Suddenly, I felt uncomfortable with his words.
Nice to meet you.
Is that really the case?
For some reason, I don't think so.
However, there was no memory of affirming or denying that discomfort.
"I've heard a lot about you, too."
"It's an honor." Now, do you know that I was chosen as the Sword Saint? "
Yeah, of course.
If so, do you know who was chosen as the brave man?
Is this disgusting?
Or a pure inquiry?
Whatever it is, it doesn't seem like it's going to make much sense.
We'll have to stop the spirits sooner than that.
"... more than that? Is there anything else I should prioritize besides Master Astaire?"
"Of course. This is how the Knights are fighting now." Mixing us together will do less damage. Then I have to go rather than talk about being a hero or a sword saint or something. "
“I see. The facility will be damaged as it is.”
I feel a little unevenness.
Suddenly.
I saw that the knight was struggling against the spirits.
I don't think it would be right if it stayed that way.
"Let's go get help over there."
"Wait, there's a group of spirits closer to the facility than that." You go first. "
Reuters pointed pale.
"Then you can do it."
"There are many. It's more important to protect the facility than one of the knights." That's where Astaire is benefiting. "
"... what about you?"
Keep my shoulders down and let me hear your own opinions.
Oh, my God.
"You're a brave man." Make your best choice. The life of a knight is heavy. But some things are heavier than that. As leaders of the people, we must have a great deal of happiness. "
Unevenness.
It doesn't suit him.
I had such a feeling.
Numerous sacrifices are added to the peace.
I understand the logic.
Because sometimes you need to make choices.
But I wonder if he really can't protect the facility by himself.
No, that's not true.
His strength was not like that of an enemy where the higher spirits were in a bundle.
What are you trying to hide from me?
"You heard me say no to the brave." There is no reason to follow such a thing. Above all, can you ignore the person who is in danger in front of you? "
Reuters the spirits standing in front of the knight.
The spirits that blew down the trees were pushing them down, and eventually they disappeared.
Are you okay?
"Yes, thank you!"
The knight smiled as he worn out.
If I had abandoned you, I wouldn't have seen such a face.
It would be nice to have someone like Reuters.
But I have no reason to obey it, no righteousness.
I see Reuters staring at me.
"I'll join the fight my way." I won't take your orders. "
"...... Now, look." What happened when you didn't go? ”
Reuters looks back at the facility.
You're not going to help me, are you?
Instantly - Big bang.
But it did a lot of damage to a group of spirits.
"... what?"
Reuters was stunned.
Apparently, it was unexpected to him.
Perhaps... I wonder if it's Aegel.
I could see his magic power in a modest way.
But it was truly subtle.
I didn't expect to be able to cause that much explosion.
"Looks like I got lucky."
"Tsk."
Well, in any case, it would have been in time for the transfer.
However, if Reuters had been serious, there would have been only one group of spirits defeated by the Big Bang.
I wonder if it made sense to use words and time to speak to me.
"Are you kidding me...?"
I don't understand the purpose.
However, for now, it was time to kill the spirits.
There are still a lot of them left.
And when this is over...
