Break up with a line of carriages and run a magic guide bike. After a while, the green earth I have seen.

The appearance of Potsung in the dead earth was very heterogeneous.

As I walked in there, I smelled slightly sweet. This is the same as when I visited before.

The only difference is......

"Most of the people who already live here don't seem to be here."

Roxy, sitting behind a motorcycle, was looking at the surrounding houses.

She's right. With the evacuees leaving earlier, there was no more liveliness here.

Last time I came, various crops were being grown, taking advantage of the bounty of the rich earth. They were also used as fodder, and a lot of livestock was seen.

But when I got off the bike and looked at it, it was very different.

The farmland is desolate and is being forcibly harvested without waiting to grow well. I don't see a single livestock. The fences they encircled to keep them from escaping can be broken everywhere.

"Unlike the other day, there's no shadow to see."

"Sounds like you ran away in a hurry."

"Sounds like it..."

As Roxy and I were discussing the city's information, Ellis and Memil, who stopped the bike, also walked this way.

They felt the same way about us.

"Heh, I didn't know there was such a city. I guess I've been able to do it quite recently. I don't know if it's a city now, but it's subtle."

"Right. I'm guessing the people we met earlier were the last evacuees."

The looking building is new. It's not abandoned, but I can't feel how people do it.

The city we were looking at had an unusual sense of quiet.

"What do you want to do? Do you want to find someone who's still in the city to talk to?

"Oh, let's do that. Memil and Roxy, can you ask for them?

"" Yes ""

Leave it to the two of them, and I'll gaze at Snow clinging to my feet.

For some reason, she started to get scared after entering the city. It sticks to me a lot, so I thought it would be the usual. But with Snow's tremor coming through to me, I noticed something was wrong.

I don't know what it looks like because my face has an expression that is nothing at all.

I didn't want to worry about the Roxies needlessly, so I hadn't talked about this yet.

But someone noticed Snow's modulation.

"Hey, Faith. She looks just like me."

"That's quite insightful."

It was Ellis who smiled powerlessly and answered. After I heard the name Livra, I lost my energy.

Roxy and Memil also knew about this. Therefore, there was nothing in particular to say about the candidates for interview with the people of the city.

"Don't push it. If it's hard to meet with the libra, you can stay."

"It's okay... I'm more concerned about Snow than that"

"I'm supposed to be losing my memory"

Maybe he's instinctively feeling something.

"But if it's like this, this kid's gonna have a problem with the libra."

"Well, even if it did... this is the state. Now he doesn't even know what happened in the past."

Says as he hugs me and strokes his tenacious snow. After a while, she seemed to have calmed down.

"Okay, good boy. I'd like to go to the Roxies, okay?

"Yeah. I'm scared. Be careful."

"Thanks"

Hold hands with Snow and nod. Let's go to the Roxies.

That's what you think.

"Dear Faith!

I've been looking for residents. It's Memil. Seems like a good story to see that Doya face.

"I found a few people.

"Where?

"It's a big mansion ahead of us. It's a family that's partitioning this city... or partitioning it."

"Okay. Show me."

After Memil, we move on. The mansion seemed to be near the center of the city.

Along the way, he was passing a boulevard surrounded by street trees. A few trees in his eyes were dying.

Is it because the residents are gone, and they can no longer be taken care of? Still, I feel like I'm dying too soon.

"What's wrong with you? Faith?"

"No, it's nothing"

Ellis walking beside me, he called me. But I thought it was about no other love, so it wouldn't be about telling her.

"Dear Faith, Ellis, hurry up!

"Oh, okay"

"I'm coming."

It would be more precedent to listen to those who were representatives of this city than that. I'll pull Snow's hand and go after Memil.

And it even came near the center of the city.

"Oh, this is..."

"What's wrong with you?

"The lake that should have been there when I came before this is gone"

In the direction I pointed, there was a dried up lake. The ground would be cracked and not contain a drop of water.

"There was a big lake out there."

The water was something special.

If I drank it, I had the power to heal my body wounds, fatigue, etc. Furthermore, it grows faster than usual if given to crops and is fruitful.

It was a nice piece of water.

"I see. Without such a lake, the advantages of living on this land would be lost."

Ellis nodded, looking out at the dead lake for a while.

Where Roxy came out of the mansion, the story of the lake ends first.

"Gentlemen, this way. The people in this house are suddenly going crazy."

"What!?

Living in this mansion is said to be a family of three.

If you go inside, it's a spacious front door.

If this is all the mansion, we'll have to hire servants, we won't be able to manage it.

According to what Roxy heard, the people who worked here stopped doing it on this one.

Walk down the long corridor. There was a young man waiting in the room ahead.

She looked pale and seemed to have some kind of illness.

"My name is Ted. He's the son of a representative of this city. First of all, Holy Knight...... thank you for coming to such a place. As you can see, this place no longer functions as a city. So we can't even offer you a satisfactory hospitality and we apologize"

"No, that's fine."

More than that, we talked about what we wanted to ask.

"First, uh, what about your parents?

"I've fallen down as much as I did earlier, and I'm letting you sleep in my bedroom. Thank you Roxy for your help."

He smiles back when he looks at Roxy.

"As I see it, it seems to be gradually weak. This land may be the cause. Is there something going on with the urban eating demon, or is something about to happen by a man named Livra? I don't know, but I don't like it."

"Indeed..."

A man named Ted still seems to be feeling a little worse now. Sweat is seeping through my forehead.

You should make the conversation brief and give it a rest.

"Ask me straight in. When did the libra arrive when the man came to this city?

"It was about a month ago. Then gradually the water in the lake decreased. He has evil things on us - demons deep underground. I told you to get out of this city fast. We got rid of him without listening to him."

"Uh, you were out of here once."

"Yes, and in the meantime, the number of places on the lake has decreased. Outside the city is the wilderness. Those waters were supported by strange forces, and the inhabitants, who were supported in their lives, left one after the other with a disconnect. And that man - after the libra came back, the situation on the lake got even more serious"

"So most of the city's residents went?

"Yes, there are only about ten more people in this city besides us..."

The lake has dried up, and they can't even grow crops anymore. He said the drinking water is somehow surpassed by what he is saving now.

I guess I know what I'm trying to say from our bewildered look.

Ted gives me an answer before I ask why.

"That's the face you want to know why you stay that far. The people who stay here, including me, are the ones who first found the oasis of this wasteland. Originally, we were exhausted without a place to go, and it was a real pleasure to find this place. We swore then that we would leave this paradise no matter what..."

"It's not paradise anymore, but still?

"Yes, I told you. Whatever happens, I'm not leaving."

They even modulate the body.

Still, when I tried to tell you I should get away from here, Ellis put her hand on my shoulder.

"Faith, it's no use talking any more."

"But..."

"You're right about what you want to do. But for them, thank you for annoying me."

Ellis says as she stares straight at Ted.

"Fine."

Asked, he never lost his way… replied unchanged.

sighing, looking out the window. Aren't the colors of the trees outside changing?

The blue leaves wither away as I try to lose my vitality.

I remember what it's like to fast forward time.

"Look at the ground."

"This is..."

When we rush outside, there are countless big cracks running into the dry lake.

Or there was a big earthquake.

The trees fall, so much so that there's a crack in the building.

"No way, this magic..."

"Sounds like someone's fighting underground."

Feel the swollen pressure from your feet at once.

I could not feel the appearance or signs of a libra in this city. Definitely. This magical feeling is the same as the Libra when it was Tetra.

Snow holding hands with me is tense. And she groans as she looks at the ground.

"Faith, I'm coming."

"Become!? Everybody! Get away from here!

"Faye."

"Dear Faith,"

"That's pretty good."

From beneath the ground that flew away, huge plant roots popped up.

It's too thick, so much so that my vision is full of it.

"Memil! Snow, please!

"Yes."

Roxy needs to clear the way out.

"Okay."

Me and Ellis, we take the weapon and we slash the roots out in front of us.

"Faith, it's slashing thickness."

"If that's what you're saying. Is this an urban eating demon?

This root was everywhere in the city, with a face.

Counting was such a number that it seemed futile.

Even if I slash it off with a black sword, the roots are stretching from next to next. And there's a lot of roots overflowing from the slaughter mouth.

'Oh, yeah. It's still a young body, so it's still small. Perhaps the libra did something and it's rampant. And the first thing you have to do is slash it away. "

"Why... come on, you're lying"

There were slashed roots, and new roots came out of them.

This is not a dimension of playability.

"When this happens!

I'll pour flamebullet magic into the black sword.

Attack again with the Flaming Sword,

"Seriously."

"You seem to be flame-resistant to wooden crusts."

"Is there a tree that doesn't burn?"

Apparently the enemy is not in E's domain, so even Roxy and Memil can attack.

But you can't fight poorly if you even have something like the ability to divide beyond the overwhelming ability to regenerate. Because it will increase and make things worse.

"This is a little bad. Evacuate the city once?

"I don't think I'm gonna make it."

Branched roots surrounded us like cages. The attack isn't damaged because it's understated.

That's why it's on the defensive side that you can't attack poorly.

Too little information about urban eating demons. I checked with Greed, but he didn't even seem to know how to take it down.

"Do we have to attack..."

Squeeze the black sword. And toward the roots that loom before us, when I tried to swing it down,

"Wait, Faith."

"What's up?

"Something's wrong"

I didn't know as soon as they said that. But the root momentum disappeared as I saw it.

"It withers... no. Decaying."

"Faith."

So much so that the roots were crawling out of the ground vibrantly.

That's what wore them down like sand. Ellis is terrified of his power.

I mean, whoever did this...

From among the crumbling roots, a man walked here slowly.
