Sylvia said that.

- It's twisted.

The same is true of the distortion of space that is unfolding to protect the changed Bartolo, but the Bartolo himself is distorted. It is also not the flesh, but the existence is distorted.

I hadn't tried humans against them, but if they were monsters, they would be perfect for them.

The use of World on humans.

Return the perverted being to its original state.

Fortunately, I knew what it was like, and the procedure was the same as Iris's [regression].

"-Get back!"

The swollen flesh is shriveling up and returning to its human form.

Space is distorted for defense, but I restored the figure of Bartolo on the other side of the distortion without worrying about it.

“So, what do we do from here?”

Ellis asks.

Now you can move thanks to the transformation of existence, but if you completely return it to humans, you will be affected by the time stop and will not be able to move.

In the end, it was comparable to the power of Bartolo's metamorphosis.

"Of course I've thought of a way."

In the first place, Bartolo's body had deteriorated only because he had the ability to withstand spatial anomalies. It is the necklace lifted from the neck that makes it possible.

"... I'm sorry."

I used World on the necklace to cancel out all the magic effects I had. Now it is no different from an ordinary necklace.

But this means that there is nothing left to protect Bartolo.

"Guuuuu!?"

Bartolo twists and disappears with a voice full of suffering.

There was nothing left on the spot that showed any sign of Bartolo.

"Ranking up may have been important." But if you die, there's nothing left. "

It echoes in a world where time has stopped thinking about Bartolo, who really didn't leave anything behind.



I-Is everything okay?!

Sylvia worries about me and touches my body when I get back to where I came from. I understand that I was not seriously injured because I could not rendezvous, but I was watching the situation.

Still, it seemed too dangerous to worry about.

"I'm fine." More than that, has anything changed here? "

I feel like there are more knights and soldiers than there were before I left.

"I'll explain that to you."

Spatial distortions prevented the sound or impact of the battle. Still, the knights have noticed that something has happened because the remaining Sylvia's rattling.

For Paulid, whose mission was to escort Mishrina, Sylvia could not wait without doing anything.

"That's why we launched the flare and gathered the knights."

I don't care if it's me, though.

It was just right because I needed to pay attention again.

Bartolo proved that it was dangerous to just get close to the earth walls that covered the dodo town. The knights were patrolling along the earthen walls, but it was necessary to tell them that it was not safe either.

And most importantly, the dangerous space is expanding.

"So... what happens if I just leave you like this?"

"That's..."

I couldn't answer.

Eventually, it would be good if the limit of expansion came to a halt, but if you continue to expand indefinitely, you will crush everything around you.

The moment Bartolo and his allies disappeared, the Knights were shown a phantom.

"This is...!"

"It's terrible..."

"...... ah"

Everyone felt pain in the sight in front of them and swallowed their breaths.

This must not be repeated.

"... what should I do?"

“It's easy to see what we're up to.”

You can throw something in. If the thrown object disappears, the space beyond it is distorted.

There's no mistake in the map.

Magically show the surrounding map in the air.

Although there was only one small village to the north, the next closest city was Melston.

"Perhaps we should issue an evacuation order to the village." I don't know how fast the spatial distortions are going, and I think we should give priority to rescuing people. ”

"Ah, ahhh...!"

I only understood the imminent danger of being unable to grasp the situation.

Since the villagers have no visible crisis, they cannot help but follow the advice of the knights of what they suspect.

"The problem is Melston."

Paulid's expression was serious.

There are as many as 100 people living in the village.

However, thousands of people live in Melston, and many visit the city and are buzzing with trade.

"It's impossible to evacuate people in that city..."

Paulid's eyes are on me.

Without giving any answers, he picks up the stone at his feet and throws it towards the earth wall. Then, it warped and disappeared ahead of the earth wall.

Even though the soil wall remains safe, the space in front of it is distorted.

"What am I supposed to do with this!"

There was nothing I could do about it, even if it was a knight, such as the distortion of space.

"Mars, what are you going to do?"

"I don't care what you say..."

I can figure out a way to do it. However, I needed a little more information.

"... I can't help it." I undertook the investigation, but it seems that I have to solve the problem. "

Would you be willing to cooperate?

"I can't just leave you like this."

If we don't resolve this situation, in the worst case scenario, the Principality of Ishgaria... no, the world itself may disappear.

We should get involved as early as we can if we have to.

“In the meantime, we need to try to get inside again.”

Can you do me a favor?

Bitterness-crushed expression.

As a knight, I'm sure you can't help but rely on me.

"Yeah, find the cause somehow..."

I pulled out my sword and slashed toward the earthen wall.

I managed to wipe out something that was flying at me. Sylvia and the others were assembling to intercept the presence of a sphere created by the compression of energy as it came over the earth wall.

Eh-

But it's an energy I've never seen before. I was unable to sense it until it was close enough.

And just as I was focused on the power that was released to me, I was delayed in noticing another attack that was released at the same time.

Paulid-san!

It had disappeared around Paulid's left elbow. From the left wrist, it fell to the ground, and because it was forcibly extinguished, there was a lot of blood flowing out from the disappeared part.

Iris!

I know!

I don't want him to die in charge.

"Did you take it off? No, it looks like the delicious guy next to you is in pain." Fine, it's a great feast. "

"That was..."

A creepy voice heard from the other side of the earth wall.

It feels like a young girl, but her voice has an ugly feel to it.

Well then, how about this?

"Step back, please."

Melissa tells us to step back. Melissa, who can handle Spatial Magic , can sense spatial anomalies.

"The space in front of me has been newly distorted."

A place where no one was present was distorted.

A space where nothing seems to change with the naked eye. There, people are thrown into the air and landed.

Noto, Charles-and even Gain and Boros!

There appeared to be three male knights and one female knight.

The two knights, who were invisible before the rendezvous, did not rendezvous even with a flare.

All four of them seem to be safe, but I know because I have just seen a similar presence.

"Wait a minute."

What the hell!

"They're already..."

She finds the missing knight and stops him with her hand on the knight's shoulder.

The next moment, the four knights that appeared transform the flesh.
