Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician
680 souls and perseverance
I just saw his body disappear without staying - on my knees.
... - Won, huh?
The sense of accomplishment and the overload and damage done to the whole body make you lose strength, but you can't give up control of your consciousness or your surgical formula. Because the healing of the wounded heart, and then one of the last guardians and beads, hasn't been solved yet.
Uroboros, Nemea and Capella roared their throats worryingly, and Cadkeus, who was following the protection of the ritual venue, also spoke with a five-sense link to connect my consciousness.
As the little spirits gathering say when they fall asleep, show them how to tap my hands and feet lightly...
"... oh. It's okay. I'm not gonna die yet."
Smile small and stand up to support Uroboros.
"Theo!"
"Dear Theodore!
There - everyone rushed in. Ashley and Rosetta are with us because Istrum disappeared, and the demons under his control stopped moving. Durahan also confirmed the disappearance of Istrum, and gave me a signal. From the Sirius, one jump after the other with a face everyone seems worried about.
The demons have settled down, so there's plenty of room for ceremonial protection and healing of the injured.
So I'm going to be the suddenest injured person? It seems Cadkeus passed a five-sense link about my damage and informed Grace.
"And I can't believe it's the heart...!
"Calm down, Ashley. If you keep the bleeding down and do it right, there's no cure for it."
"Yes, Doctor!
Ashley snorts as she fades. Although Rosetta also looks serious, there is no such thing as giving up.
"I'm stopping the bleeding, and I'm controlling the blood flow, with water magic. It shouldn't happen right away."
"Don't force me to talk to you. But yeah. After that, if you can successfully heal the heart muscles...!
Rosetta purifies part of the mining site with water magic and is put to sleep there.
When Ashley put her hand on my wound with her trembling hand... There was a softly layered hand on Ashley's hand.
... Huh?
"... Mother...?
"Dear Lisa!
"Ri, Lisa......!
Faces like Grace and Rosetta, as well as the Siegmund Olds and Valentina and Princess Stephania, round their eyes.
Make sure you hold Ashley's shoulder and lay your own hands on your hands trying to heal. It was a blurry contour...... mother that person.
- Oh. Right. Istrum disappeared. No more need to maintain that soul or the sealing technique. So, as in the case of the Mercy Mother of Grantios, this is how......
"It's OK" and its lips move on Ashley, who rounds her eyes. To her smiling mother, Ashley nods and the tremor in her hand stops.
Ashley and her mother closed their eyes. And the healing magic glow spread on the spot.
That's two kinds of light. Water magic and light magic. Magic to rebuild the flesh. It's a kind of healing magic that my mother was good at.
"Wow... wow"
Rosemary squeaks. Mallane snorted as she watched as she devoured the healing magic glow.
I can't use it on myself because it disrupts my internal magic. If you used it, it wouldn't have been long.
I don't have time to bleed. My heart wound gets blocked. Synergy between Ashley's water magic and her mother's surgery?
Exterior wound when pierced through the heart. My mother left Ashley when the healing ended with no residue, including the wounds from clashing and rolling around everywhere and the capillaries on her hands and feet.
"Dear Lisa..."
"Patricia, Lord..."
Mother smiles at everyone she sees with a flashing look. Because I used my power, is it? He seemed fainter than he had just been.
I can't touch it. A mother who is a spiritual body, no one can touch her. Even if I try to hug you or take your hand, I'll get through it, though.
He strokes Grace and Ashley's head, shows them how to hold old Siegmund's shoulders, and tries to connect hands with Rosetta.
Then Claudia and Rosemary, Mallane bow their heads to greet them, and their mother grins and nods.
That's the last time you came to me. Touch the flutter on your cheeks and try to hold it tight.
Then the figure slowly faded away.
... disappeared, not. My mother is watching over me.
So. So we need to try harder. Because behind the mining site trail, there is still something that needs to be done.
Stand up. I saw everyone looking at me, and I opened my mouth.
"I'm okay now. Let's get back in shape and then get it over with."
"Ha!"
"Lisa's coming to see us too!
- In an effort to sort out the situation, when I spoke to Auria at the counter ceremonial venue, she laughed in such a good mood after she had told me all the information.
My mother also went to the ceremony to say hello. Looks like Aulia and I were close.
Anyway, I understand the current situation.
We went to the back of the mining site to help the injured recover their health and magic.
The remaining enemies are...... Last Guardian. We have to do something about the crack of the original Spirit that dwells in it.
As far as monoculars are concerned, the underground area of the mining site - the deepest ritual site - seems to have more magic swirling than ever before.
Auria's story suggests that one crack in the original Spirit is something like a state of well-being, but to the extent that volcanic activity has temporarily calmed down, it still seems to be an unacceptable situation to predict what will happen.
Istrum's ritual venue is still alive as a formality. Opaque whether it resonates with the Spirit of the Moon even if it calms down temporarily.
On the other hand, the original Spirit, who slept in Rungard, also seems to be reacting, but is also a being that he cannot exert great power as a high-ranking Spirit.
Then there's the bead and the beristio that lives there...
As I took everyone and Queen Aurelia down the mining site trail as I toured through all this thinking - I went out to an open place.
"It's amazing magic. I can't believe how distorted the space is."
said Queen Aurelia.
It is so full of magic that I accidentally flaunt my face. It seems like a mass of magic flies in a sphere and scatters sparks, distorting space here and there.
And - Last Guardian in the center of the square. In it, surrounded by magic formations, as if you were asleep, you don't move while lying down.
Altar in front. And a bead rested on it. One man with a blurred contour, gently rising his temper, as he sits on the altar...
"... I've been waiting for you"
He sees us... No, he just looks at me and he gets up. And uttered the words clearly. I guess it's a spirit body. Can the word be uttered because Beristio himself, who can possess and change vessels, is a demon man specialized in that direction?
Alliance lord Beristio - his soul. There was one bead that locked him in. One was divided into four parts, and the seal was incomplete. With his liberation from Istrum's surgical ceremony, he is now fully awake and shaped.
I set up Uroboros, but he closed his eyes and laughed.
"Kuk. Don't guide me. I'm not going to be able to cross swords with you guys who fought to save the moon with Rungard. Istrum was doomed, and I was freed by it from unintentional technique. It wouldn't make sense to fight you for what you owe me. I don't mind being cruel to my enemies. But to be despicable and small is unbearable."
"... maybe"
Istrum interrupted the resurrection and used it as a tool to destroy the world, so he was disgusted with it.
That... before I got here, I knew it somehow. When the equilibrium of the field broke after sealing Istrum's properties as a demon, and environmental magic poured in here as an ally, Beristio also felt he was on my side. So it was bigger for the ritual, and the equilibrium leaned this way. The result is the calming of the Last Guardian.
But reason, huh?
"I identified the people of the earth as enemies because I found out that they had betrayed the Moon while being saved by its royal family. I wonder if it's worth keeping such earthly people alive. Therefore... if I take you as enemies, I will be questioned for my legitimacy and admiration as an ally. Not to mention if the royal family of the moon is with us. Pull this upper bow, and your shoulders will be narrower with your hometown."
"Are you..."
Beristio laughs at Forceto clouding his expression.
Claudia said.
"I... don't want revenge on the people on earth. The descendants of the outcasts... are now guilty of what?"
"... yes. Looks like it. And... the man Vallos entrusted to you."
That's what I said, I turned my gaze to the Tesdiros and the others.
"So I'll only work with you once. The fate of my compatriots was entrusted to the end of the people of the Moon, and even the earliest reason to fight was lost. If you've already lost once and left the stage, you can sleep in the beads... or disappear - and you'll have to pay back your debts before then."
Beristio flips himself. At the end of that gaze was the Last Guardian.
"My power is a bond and a curse. He who unites his soul with the vessel in a duel, even without a covenant, and triumphs will bear the consequences of becoming the Lord of the vessel. If we unite our vessel, which sleeps in the depths of the labyrinth by our curse, with the original Spirit, it will be the foundation of that Spirit's permanent sleep, whether victory or defeat"
"It's..."
That you can force your opponent's vessel to be taken away by challenging a duel even in the state of the spiritual body?
But the vessels of the Allied Lord still remain sealed deep in the labyrinth. So if we challenge the fight in that state… what happens?
I mean... the vessel, you want to replace it? Whether you win or lose, that means if Beristio wins... he takes the vessel of the Last Guardian, and one crack of the original Spirit falls out, resulting in a physical replacement.
Conversely, even if Beristio loses, the edge will remain with him and he will automatically receive the same seal as the Allied Lord when the vessel is destroyed -. If this conjecture fits... it is indeed, a curse. But... what happens to Veristio's spirit if he loses in this state?
"If the Spirit falls zero from that vessel, it shall sleep under the seal of the Seven Wise Men. But with that spirit, they seem to be killing quite a bit of power. So if I win... then I will be a dragon. In that case... when you watch the world and decide that you have scorned what was entrusted to you by that man, it is not bad to be a god that causes disaster... etc."
If you have cleaned up the problems of the original Spirit and helped save the world. That means I owed you back.
He said he could be my enemy again then. Yes, Beristio turned over his shoulder and laughed lightly.
"Wait -!"
I don't even have time to stop it. Beristio's spiritual body jumped into the body of the leaning Last Guardian as it became a giant arrow of impatience.
The Last Guardian opens his eyes, holds him around his chest and growls.
A long long long growl and the magic of a ritual venue that reacts to it. A pillar of magic erupts from underground to the moon and the starry sky peeks.
Beristio and the power of the original Spirit swelled up, and bumped into each other. I feel them shredding each other. The battle between the Spirit and the Spirit, inside the vessel.
There is no escape. The kind of battle that poured everything in and beat each other, moment by moment, was eventually settled - in the form of one defeat.
Crushing soul. More playable than in the body of the Last Guardian.
A dragon that raises the roar of victory with an angry burning eye. It is the original Spirit who dwells inside it.
Look at the results and shake the wear.
... because he knew he had bled past.
I guess that's what I thought when I knew I could get my hands on it, but I just didn't deserve to be there. Didn't Pride even allow you to reach out?
Because it doesn't make sense to fight me. There's no reason to fight.
To make my own way. And most importantly, as the allies of the demons, he challenged the original Spirit to protect the Rungald, where his compatriots live. That's what he wants.
"... ok. I'll finish what you left behind. I won't waste it."
The prayers of the Spirits and of everyone dampen the power of the original Spirit. He's been killed even more in the fight against Veristio.
After that, it's just like when you helped Serafina. Kill the first Spirit with every vessel of the Last Guardian, and weaken him - one crack of Rungard's first Spirit reinforces the dominance, and that's it all.
The sealing tip, too, Beristio made it for me. Because one crack of the original Spirit is not such as to be resolved if it is destroyed. If you comfort and serve the Spirit to protect the seal... with the Spirit of Wrath, you can continue to sleep peacefully, it should.
So this is the last fight. Let's get this over with.
