Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence

Episode 22: The Lord of Darris (top)

"Are you all right?

"Yeah......"

Seiya, who strongly embraces Yua to keep her from leaving, and Yua, who is strongly embraced by Seiya's arms, were currently in a progressive form and fell vertically.

Shortly after the two men had finished the Thunderbeast, suddenly the ground began to collapse and the two began to fall. But this time, if not in the dark, the ground below is also well visible.

"Oops."

Seyya turns her body in the air as she falls and lands beautifully on the ground. And I unloaded next door about Youre holding her in such a way that she would hold her princess.

Yua's face, unloaded by Seyya, looked blushing somewhere, but Seyya doesn't realize that.

"Well, what are we gonna do from here?"

Saiya says as she looks around.

The place where the two of them stepped down is a further open place than the earlier one, surrounded by water.

If you're going to describe the place, it feels like a lonely island floating on a lake.

And the most distinctive thing about the place would be the water that fills around the island.

Water that is clear enough to afford visibility of the far water bottom. The water did not seem like a natural gushing water.

"Weird."

"Yeah......"

I searched around for an entrance and exit, Seiya, but unfortunately I can't find it. Yua also looked around, but still can't find the entrance or exit.

That was the time. A woman's voice echoes on the island.

"If you think it's noisy, you got a rat in there"

The two are surprised by the suddenly sounding colorful voice. Because this was a nest of powerful warcraft, and there couldn't have been anyone but the two of us.

Seiya immediately sees those who spoke. Then, there she was, a woman sitting in a chair floating in the air with a cheek wand.

A woman with blue hair and eyes as if she were a sapphire, most of all a double hill that is so characteristic that it is likely to fall in pieces.

And the glossy atmosphere of women makes the women look even more colorful, so much so that as soon as the adolescent boys see it, they are likely to be foreboding.

But Seyya will never come forward. It wasn't Saiya who could be optimistic about the situation now enough to have such an evil mind.

"No way......"

It is the same for Youre. There can't be a man in the Darris Grand Canyon, or deep down. When it came to that, I knew the answer every second.

"You, Undine?

"Yeah, you know me"

A woman affirming Seyya's inquiry. Yes, she is the water fairy Undine who lives in the Great Darris Canyon.

I wasn't expecting Undine to come out, Seiya, but this is, in a way, lucky.

The warcraft that have fought so far have fought with their animal instincts, but now the undine in front of them is different.

Unlike the Warcraft, she can have a conversation. That means we can discuss it without fighting.

Seyya just talks to Undine.

"I want to talk. Listen to me."

"Talk? What could it be?

I'm glad Undine is a well-spoken being, Seiya. Seiya just got down to business.

"We're not willing to fight. Our purpose is to return to the kingdom of Leiria through this great canyon of Daris."

"Yes, so?

"I want you out of here. Naturally, it won't hurt you."

That's Saiya's suggestion. Nothing is more barren than arguing here. Seiya wants to avoid a fight and settle it peacefully, if possible.

Undine's answer to that was no.

"I say no. The only way out of here is to take me down. And I don't want you to take me down."

Seiya listens to Undine and wonders.

No matter how much, there's no way that's happening. Unless this is also within the intrinsic boundaries created by Undine, it is possible to go outside without defeating Undine.

"Why are you lying? I don't have to take you down to get out there."

On Seyya's words, Undine gives a slightly surprising look.

"Oh, you see. Everyone who's ever been here has been attacking me, right?

"I told you. He said he wasn't going to fight this way."

That is the true intent of Seyya. Even though it's a state of consuming magic, it's ridiculous, such as fighting fairies in addition to that. Running away is a stone when dealing with fairies and spirits.

"But it's a shame. I'm not going to let you out."

"Why?

"'Cause you're gonna know I exist. I don't like that."

Undine utters words oddly colorful.

Her wish is to live quietly in this Great Darris Canyon. It is her policy that if anyone knows that they exist, they will soon disappear.

That's why Undine was trying to erase the Saiyas' existence.

"Then don't worry. We don't talk about your existence."

"You want me to believe that?

"Oh, yeah"

Seiya stares at Undine with a serious eye. That's the same for Youre. Youre didn't even want to fight fairies in this place.

But not so easily, such as someone you can believe when the first person you meet tells you to believe. Not to mention if that's the kind of Undine who has refused to make contact with people.

"I'm sorry, but I can't"

Undine looks down about Seyya, and when she shows her willingness to reject, she begins to expand her magic formation towards Seyya.

"I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have you disappear."

Undine shoots the water laser from the deployed magic formation towards Seyya. The laser was so strong and powerful that it could not even be compared to the water shot out by the sea dragon.

But when Seyya exercised the 'dark wave' against the laser of the water, the laser of the water vanished in an instant to such an extent that its presence might not have existed in the first place.

"Yeah, I'll do it."

"Sort of."

Undine sees the dark attributes of Seyya and soon realizes she is a magician who can do Seyya.

By the way, why was Seyya's 'Dark Wave' made to easily extinguish a more powerful attack than the Sea Dragon's?

The answer lay in my familiarity with the dark attributes.

When confronted with the sea dragon, Seyya had just regained her dark attributes and was not used to them. So even against the attack of the sea dragon, it was quite a struggle.

But not now.

Seyya approached death once in an earlier battle with the Thunderbeast. Strangely, then, he was becoming more sensitive to dark attributes than ever before, and more familiar with them than ever before.

As a result, the attack of Undine, which is more powerful than the attack of the Sea Dragon, could easily be eliminated.

"I knew you couldn't let him get away with it. If you want to get out of here, take me down and let me do the contract. Then we can get out of here."

"Oh, you have no choice. Yua, let's do it."

"Yeah......"

The two grabbed the weapon again and stood against Undine.

Undine also transforms the surrounding atmosphere in an instant.

And the air on the field changed in an instant.

Seiya, who holds the double-sword Hollins, and Yure, who holds the Rapier, look to Undine, who is still cheeky with a chair that floats in the universe.

Meanwhile, Undine looks down on Seyya and Yua with his cheek cane on. I could still feel room from that look on my face.

It was Undine who made the first move.

"Water Cannon"

Undine shoots water at Seyya and Yua.

"The Dark Wave."

But when Seyya exercises the 'Dark Wave' against Undine's attack, the magic exercised by Undine vanishes without a trace in an instant.

"Youre."

"Leave it to me..."

As soon as Undine's water is extinguished, Yua uses' single light 'on her feet to increase her leg strength and make a leap.

And I approached Undine, sitting in a chair all at once, with a Juliel.

"That's sweet. Water Laser"

Against Youre leaping against himself, Undine attacks Youre by letting the blue magic formation unfold.

The attack is the same magic that Undine exercised earlier towards Seyya.

"Sweet is that way." Dark Waves ""

The water laser vanished in an instant when Seyya exercised the 'Dark Wave' against the laser of the water that was still about to be bombarded by Yua.

Youre, who believed Seyya would protect herself, stabs Juliel toward Undine without hesitation.

"That's it..."

Youre, who pierced Yuriel into Undine, attempts to infuse the magic of light attributes into Undine's body and make that limb bounce from within.

This will determine the victory of the Yours, it should have been.

"That's sweet."

Undine smiled niggardly.

At the next moment, Juliel, who was stabbed in Undine's abdomen, pulls out of Undine's body as if she were being pushed out of her body's interior.

And the wound that should have been done to Undine's abdomen quickly disappeared.

"Oh no..."

Yua loses her words to too many sights. Because Yua has seen it. What the hell is Undine's body made of?

"All water..."

"Correct."

Undine affirms Yua's words with a grin.

Youre right, Undine's body was all made of water. The feeling I felt when I stabbed Juliel in Undine's body was not the same as when I stabbed the Warcraft.

The feeling Yua felt when she stabbed Undine, it was so irresistible that it became suspicious whether she really stabbed her.

But if Undine's body is all made up of water, it also explains how it feels.

And even though they poured in the magic of the light attribute, it's also why Undine still can't let that flesh bounce from within.

Water, it is also composed of water mixed with the magic of the water attributes. In the body of Undine, whatever magic is shed, all of it is sedated and ineffective.

That's probably the same even with Seyya's dark attributes.

In other words, an attack using the attribute's special effects on Undine is pointless.

In an instant you lost your means of confrontation against Undine. But Youre not alone now. I have a partner I can count on.

"There's too much clearance"

Suddenly, behind Undine sitting in a chair, Seiya wrapped around the magic of light attributes. Seiya takes aim at Undine's neck from behind with Hollins holding it in both hands.

I'm aware of that.

Without a glance about Seyya, Undine unfolds a blue magic formation behind her and shoots a laser of water towards Seyya.

But that attack by Undine doesn't go through Seyya already.

"It's no use." Dark Waves ""

Seyya exercised and extinguished the 'Dark Wave' against the laser of water shot from the blue magic formation.

However, Undine is also aware of the fact that Seyya extinguishes the water laser.

Undine's real aim was not to shoot through Seyya, but to buy time against Seyya's attacks.

Having bought time as he aimed, Undine quickly moves on to his next hand.

"Gedo."

The moment Undine called his name, part of the water in the lake that surrounded the island gathered in an instant in front of Seyya to form a giant sphere.

"The Dark Wave."

"I won't let you."

"What!?

Seyya tried to extinguish it by exercising the 'Dark Wave' towards the bulb of water, but Undine unleashed the magic of the water attribute towards Seyya's 'Dark Wave', dampening the ability to extinguish with sedation.

Seyya's "Dark Wave" was sealed, completing the huge sphere of water that Undine was trying to make.

It is a very large sphere of water, and a crack enters the surface of that sphere, revealing its true appearance.

"Oh, come on, you're lying"

"Unbelievable."

I lose my word when I see the sphere of water where the two landed on the ground revealed their true appearance.

"This is a dragon that strengthens to the limit, abbreviated Gedo."

What appeared with Undine's explosively nameless name was a giant dragon formed of water, like Undine, all over her body.
