The body swells like a foam.

"Chii...!"

I can't leave it like this.

Go to Bartolo, where the icicle released from Iris's hand swells.

"Ah, idiot..."

I tried to stop it, but I didn't make it.

The ice pillar that flew away warped and disappeared 10 meters away.

"Without [the world], ah." It doesn't change our magic. "

Well then, what do we do?

"Slap it directly"

I approached the inflating Bartolo and slammed my sword.

"...!?"

However, just before it hit the swelling meat, it was captured by the force of blade blindness.

Iris attacks somewhere else. But the same invisible force prevents it.

Immediately suspect a barrier of magic or skill.

No, that's impossible with the Divine Sword.

A sword that can cut anything. It's supposed to tear apart in one piece, even if there's a barrier... but it doesn't look like it's tearing at all. I can't understand what I'm being taken into.

Iris felt the same way.

The sword is being slammed into the air, so the swell from that spot is contained. But the inflation from the rest of the world is continuing, and it's closing in on us.

Would you mind a little?

"Melissa!?"

A message from Melissa.

I usually avoid talking because sudden voices in my head can be confusing and dangerous. Still, there is a good reason why we talked to each other.

What's going on over there?

No, there's nothing here. Thanks to [Labyrinth Synchronization], I know your situation. ”

Then come to the rescue.

I have a desire to do that, but I can't get into it.

I remembered while I was saying it. The surrounding space was so distorted that it couldn't be lived without [World]. Melissa and the others may be able to hold out for a few seconds, but if we don't make it in time, we're going to have a terrible end. I can't force you to come in.

"Well, I'll pick you up from here. Come closer."

Jump back and get away from Bartolo.

Immediately after that, the swollen meat from the back of my neck changed shape and flew towards me with a pointed tail.

When I slashed it with my sword, I was able to cut off the tip of its tail.

It looks like we don't have any defenses here.

A monster that decides it can't pierce can retract its tail.

Well...

We need to get to the other side of where Bartolo is in order to rendezvous with his family from the first location.

More changes appear in Bartolo's body as he thinks about running across the side.

On the left side of the body, an arm with crab-like hair grows, and on the right side, a thick arm covered with hair like a great monkey grows. The lower body changes to a hoof-like leg.

I realized that I was trying to run through my side and changed my body into a suitable form.

"It's not going to be easy for me to get through."

When I looked back, the tip of the slashed tail was playing in no time.

"The rendezvous is cancelled." We'll take him down together. "

Roger

Finally, a human head grows from the top of the meat mass. His face was Bartolo's, but his expression was full of bitterness. I don't know how much of the spirit of Bartolo remains in him now. Still, if you look at the face, the pain will be passed on to those who see it.

That's why I told him to leave.

Bartolo pushed in as he pushed his fist.

I slashed my sword just like I slashed my tail.

"...!?"

However, this time, unlike the tail, it is prevented by invisible force.

Excuse me. It seems that the space is distorted. "

Tell me that first!

I'm not sure what kind of force it is. I can't feel my intelligence in Bartolo. There was no doubt that it was not the [Space Magic] power that required meticulous calculations, but by distorting the space itself, we were able to prevent our attack.

It's Melissa's analysis of the situation with the help of my and Ellis's sight. Probably no mistake.

And then it came from Sylvia-san.

"What is it!?"

I was approaching from beyond the distorted space.

Ask Sylvia to turn back and dodge.

It's distorted.

I heard that from Melissa!

No, it's not a space. the very existence of the enemy in front of you, ”

Well, that's unusual.

Iris tried to slash it.

However, the monster that was Bartolo was simultaneously trying to swing down the arm of the monkey, so it stopped attacking and jumped to the side. I usually attacked my arm with my defense. However, we may not be able to stop the defense of distorted space.

I jumped to get away from my arm trying to get slammed into the ground.

"Ah, I'm so sorry...!"

I noticed it after jumping. The arm that was slammed was about to be slammed between me and Iris. Efficient evasion means jumping in the opposite direction to each other's knocked out arms.

Which means that I'm leaving with Ellis.

If this was a normal space, there would be no problem, but now we are in a space where we are not allowed to leave.

"In the meantime, let's...!"

Anyway, I used Jump to avoid leaving.

I managed to get close to Iris while I was still in range.

"Phew......"

"...... Tsk!"

Iris jumped to the destination.

Although Jump allows for the transfer to a visible location, the orientation when moving through the space is the state before the movement. Therefore, after moving, I turned my back on Iris. Iris couldn't handle the sudden appearance.

As a result, each other's bodies will collide.

"Let's run."

Even while enduring the pain, Bartolo grew a new one on the back of his waist, and after he grew legs, he walked on all fours. The lower half is now entirely a horse.

I ran with Yilis in my arms so that I wouldn't leave anymore.

”...... you can't attack with this”

"Ten meters is too narrow for two people to fight."

The impending body of Bartolo is about to create a new body, floating with bumps and chunks of meat. If I left it like this, it would definitely be a troublesome existence.

Sylvia said, "He's crooked."

So?

"Then you just have to make it right."

Gradually loosens the rate of escape.

Then, he jumped up close enough to reach Bartolo's attack.

Vartoro, who was going to attack, was slow to react to the opponent who jumped over his head, only to turn his head upwards.

"Do it."

Iris's icicles in the air approach Bartolo.

A dozen columns of ice rushed to Bartolo, but they bounced without being hit by distorted space.

Space distortions existed to cover the entire body, and all the icicles that had been released to multiple locations had been successfully played.

Yeah, that's fine.

Land on Bartolo's back. The production of the hind legs made it easier to land because it seemed to be riding on a horse.

There is a strange feeling in the soles of my feet. So this is on top of the distorted space.

It looks like you can play or catch an attack, but you can't blow me off when I land.

It literally serves only as a wall. If you give a strong force, it will be bounced by the rebounding force, but if you just touch it, it won't interfere with anything.

"-Get out!"

The [World] with all its might is unleashed on me.
