Episode XV: Second Phase Liberation

"It's been a long time since you've dived into an underground labyrinth."

"Yeah, I miss my days diving like every day."

Kuna, the fox ear girl, and Anne, the silver-haired girl, snap.

I was coming to the underground labyrinth near Elsier today.

Not as far away as the distance, but with the magic of advanced perceived alienation, he was first prevented from getting lost in this underground labyrinth by chance.

Unlike the sealed city of Erin, the first basement floor was a wilderness.

As a guide, Lyna is captain of Iraqsa, Elsier's special unit, and Kuna's brother.

Like Kuna, he's a musculoskeletal big man with golden hair and fox ears.

"Thanks for coming, Rhina"

"Well, don't worry. It's my job to protect you while you're in Elsier."

Saying so gives me a slightly manly smile.

He also serves as an escort.

One reason we need escorts is that Elsier's underground labyrinth has many powerful demons.

But there's more to fear than that.

The whole Elsier we're letting live in has a bond, and it seems that any metamorphosis magic begins.

But if we get out of Elsier, the people who once called themselves the Knights of the Holy Roses who attacked Kuna. It's not weird when those guys are making metastatic magic.

At that time, we don't care about the power of war right now.

Even though Kuna is wearing [Kyotonization], she can't exert as much power as she did when she was completely crazy. Not to mention that my [Silver Firefox] is just a degradation imitation.

"Let me count on you. Now."

But I can't spoil the situation forever.

Be strong fast and defend Kuna on your own.

Lyna smiles faintly about how I felt.

"Sauge, Kuna, Anne, I'll take the lead. Keep your head down. The demons here are temperamental and strong."

We nodded at Rhina's words... and so the search began.

"Come on, you're strong."

I'm on the third basement floor now.

Still shallow hierarchy. Even so.

Receive the demonic protrusion of a giant dog with its entire body wrapped around a rock-like outline at Orihalcon, which has been transformed into a sword by [Demon Mine Smelting].

Dog agility and hardness more than steel.

He says it's a counter that takes advantage of his opponent's speed, but it can't be slashed.

Pushed by momentum, he retreats.

The opponent's power is about the middle of Rank 2.

"Sauji, I'll cover you."

Kuna unleashed the magic spear of flame, [Gang-Flame Spear].

They flew in at super high speeds. It pierces the stone demon dog, but is it flame-resistant or flames start on the surface of the body and can't do any damage.

But that is fine with me.

"Coona, help me"

Kuna's aim is not to attack. Spread flaming mana around me.

Kuna's powerful magic filled her surroundings with flaming mana.

I can use that one.

"[Spiritualization]!

Meet the surrounding flame mana and your own in-body magic, Odo.

That's how I eat the power I've worked out.

Become one with Flaming Mana and your physical abilities and magic powers will jump.

This is the new power gained in Elsier, [spiritualization].

"Whoa, whoa!

Shouting, he pushes the rock demon dog back.

And change the sword. Suitable for this occasion, to the shape I'm best at.

"[Demon Ore Smelting: Shaped Spear/Wear]!

That's a spear.

Low profile, center of gravity forward.

And he uses his whole body to jump, a poke that concentrates a little bit of that momentum as it is.

How tough an outline, but a blow that binds the increased power with [spiritualization]. There's no reason to be impenetrable.

"Gah, gah, gah, gah!

The demon dog screams.

The spear pushes deeper into the Devil's Dog's forehead.

We can take him down somehow.

Pulling through the spear, I breathed my disturbed breath deeply.

"I see you have a demon on the third floor with a median rank of two."

"Well, here's the thing. Don't get distracted. There's a limit to my support."

I don't have to tell Lina. I know.

We're here to be strong. Wherever possible, we will fight on our own.

But it's not like there's any chance you'll eat a fatal wound in it.

If that happens, how can you not make it to Lyna?

"Sauge, that's your [spiritualization] now. So. It's inferior to when you're using the [crest exterior], but it's able to wiggle."

Anne looks at me with a surprise look.

"Right, it's that perception. Improved force does not reach the [crest exterior] with care. But there is no risk. [Crest exterior] is a sword of blades used while taking damage due to temper, and eats too much arithmetic resources. But [spiritualization] has nothing to do with either."

[Spiritualization] is very user-friendly. If [crest exterior] is used as a trump card, it feels like this one is used everyday.

It consumes magic, but because it consumes less than [crest exterior].

And I've been thinking about one possibility.

[Spiritualization] … No, use the [crest exterior] in the state of [Silver Firefox].

The magic of hosting spirits in your body and the magic of wrapping your mind around them as armor.

The results are together, but the fundamentals are different. That's why I can use it at the same time.

The problem is that the lack of arithmetic resources and spirits and spirits rebound together. As long as we get those two, we'll be able to get overwhelming power.

"Sauge, you look bad again. You're up to something."

"Don't say bad things about people. It's a good idea."

Don't just do what you're given.

We must always think ahead.

"You're not gonna make it to the sausage."

Anne smiles bitterly.

And I pulled out my sword.

"Sauge's [spiritualization] was shown. Then it's my turn to show you my strength."

"No way, you can do a second phase of liberation now?

"No, not yet. But we got to that entrance. Sauge, if I'm swallowed, stop."

"…… you mean. Leave it to me."

There are a number of red muscles running on the demon sword Kvar Beste.

It is a testament to the first phase of liberation.

Kvar Beste exerts the power of [bulimia] in the first-stage liberation state.

It's temper, shelter, magic, mana. The power to eat everything you touch.

Therefore, there is no other way to prevent Kvar Beste than to increase its pure physical hardness.

"Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock."

Anne screams.

My body is suffering from severe pain.

Kvar Beste's fullness pulsates.

Anne's soul is connected to Kvar Beste.

Anne's screams gather. Flirt and flutter like a ghost.

"Anne, are you okay?"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Kuhihi."

Anne doesn't look like her, she smiles.

Violent grin.

Bad, half of it is about to be swallowed up by Kvar Beste.

Stun him, but will you stop him? When I thought about it that way, Anne's eyes glow in madness.

"Found, Prey"

Anne turns her neck all the way. Beyond that was the same rock demon dog I just knocked down.

Stick it in a straight line.

It's like a starving beast.

No vigilance, no tactics, nothing. It just seems instinctively driven.

I go after her tongue-in-cheek.

The rock demon dog sees Anne better.

And I tried to get myself together. However………

"It's too late. What a curse."

Anne walked past the side. He waved his sword to stroke his neck at a speed that only seemed to be the case. That's all my neck falls off Goron.

I cannot scratch a scratch in the normal state, and gently cut off the demon that even [spiritualized] the spear needed a point of concentration.

"Not enough, not enough, now, hunger, more, more, more, want, more"

Anne cuts at me.

When I tried to put up a spear.

Anne herself stopped her sword-wielding right hand with her left hand.

"Sauge, I'm sorry. As you can see, it's still unstable."

While Anne sweats, she eats away her teeth.

I'm trying to disconnect my soul from the sword, but Kvar Beste won't let Anne go.

Forced her to cut it off.

The red line that crawls through Kvar Beste's fullness fits.

Anne goes sane.

"You connected too much with Kvar Beste."

"Yeah, right. But I need to get used to it. Because the second stage of liberation is to draw strength and dominate."

She smiled powerless.

Kvar Beste's bulimia.

That eaten power does not disappear. It exists properly.

Yes, Kvar Beste himself is eating as his name suggests. For hundreds of years, all the time. The total quantity is unimaginable.

The first stage, for Kvar Beste, is only cooperative in getting him to help with the meal, but the second stage causes Kvar Beste to spit out the force he has engulfed. To do this, you have to beat Kvar Beste with your heart and soul connected. But connecting the mind and soul entails the danger of being eaten by Kvar Beste himself.

Kvar Beste tries to dominate his owner to a handy doll to devour his powers.

Kvar Beste is a living, willing demon sword. The strength of its will transcends the realm of man.

Anne just blurted out some leftovers now. If I really tried to draw the power of Kvar Beste, it would have been broken.

Not so much dangerous power.

"Anne, I fought well. It doesn't change anything, but it does succeed in drawing strength. It's a big step forward."

"I'm glad you said that. If you're going to be taken, hold back. Sauge would be able to do that, right?

"Yeah, leave it to me. 'Cause I'm not gonna let you take Anne."

Soul related magic is my specialty.

That, too, would allow a well-known Anne counterpart to intervene.

There's no way you won't be able to come back.

"But promise me. Never try to dive deeper than now. And when it's not me or Mr. Cyril, stop being more powerful than the first phase of liberation."

"Absolutely. I'm not that stupid. I know enough to say I don't like the fear of going first. In fact, if Mr. Cyril hadn't been around during practice, I would have been erased. Fear is burning in the back of my brain."

Anne hugs her own body.

If you knew that fear, you wouldn't be impotent. Maybe Cyril rubbed that fear deliberately.

"But that's strange. Even though I'm scared, I feel warm when I connect with Kvar Beste."

"Or maybe the heart of an historic oak rail dwells and protects Anne"

It's not impossible.

Even without releasing the power of the first phase, Kvar Beste always eats the power and will of his surroundings with a small amount.

It was with the swordsmen of Oakrail for generations. No wonder you're under some influence.

No, there is for sure. Oakrail swordsman who has always been with Kvar Beste. Their hearts and souls are protecting her.

That's why I drew strength, albeit leftovers, in the short term. Kvar Beste is truly the sword of Oakrail.

That said, the more power you draw, the more exponentially the danger increases. I even went beyond the second stage, ahead. There's nothing a swordsman can do to get there alone. It assimilates powerful, friendly and compatible souls with the Devil's Sword into Kvar Beste. I have to take the means to say so. That's why......

"Sauge, what's wrong?

"No, give me a little glimpse of standing. Better than that, me and Anne showed strength. Kuna is next. Show me the results of the special training."

"I'll take care of it. Sauji, I won't let you two dress up."

Kuna begins [spiritualization].

She doesn't run wild and the normal [spiritualization] seems to be ready to use.

Thus, for the first time in a long time, the hunt proceeded with the full use of new powers.
