Episode 191: The Beginning of the End

I lift my hips off the throne, manage to push and kill my upset, and I walk up to the window.

It's only an intuition, but the vision you see is not such a distant future. Perhaps within a few days, worst of all, every creature on earth will disappear even tomorrow, and this world will perish......

I don't know how the hell the world dies that far. So far, there has been no noticeable change in the view seen through this window. What does it have to do with the "disturbing signs" that Kiel said he feels from the sanctuary of the sky?

I activate [Thousand Eyes] and begin to fly my vision to every corner of the earth. Maybe we'll find some clue as to what caused the world to perish somewhere. That was the best I could do right now.

…………

Western District of the Human Territory. There was Sasha looking up into the sky with a rugged look on her face.

"I went outside early this morning and what the hell is wrong with you?

You worried about Sasha, Lina walks out of Azito and over to her, too.

"Your injury didn't completely heal the other day, and you should have stayed at rest..."

"... sorry. I've been having a nasty heartbeat since this morning, and I can't calm down."

"Disgusting chest noise, is it?

"Soon there will be a hell of a disaster in this world... I have a feeling about that"

"That's scary...... Oh, what did you see in [Forecasting the Future]?

To Lina's inquiry, Sasha shook her neck to the side.

"Speaking of which, you haven't told me yet. I keep my [future predictions] with Ute."

"... to your brother?

"Oh. That's why I don't see the future in me right now. I mean, I guess this is the so-called" woman's exploration. "It's not like I have any basis."

"Woman's inquiry, is it..."

Lina unwittingly laughs at her mouth, which she still doesn't think is a six-year-old girl.

"If anything happens, your brother will do something about it."

"... brother, are you all right"

With an anxious look, Lina lays her eyes down.

"Are you worried about Ute?

"Yes, I haven't seen you in the last few days..."

"You can come and show us your face for a little while, even though it doesn't involve us. I'm also curious to see what happened to Gabriel and the other Seven Star Angels in their struggle. Perhaps under more critical circumstances than I can afford to show my face."

…………

"Oops, I'm sorry, I said something that made me worry more and more. Well, it's about Ute, not even if we're sick. Don't tell me it's good to have no news."

"I hope so..."

Then the two stare silently at the sky for a while. Soon the side of the sky was covered with dark clouds, as if to imply a disturbing future.

Meanwhile, in the southern districts of human territory, there had been anomalies in a clear and visible way.

"What the...!?"

"What's going on...!!"

Most people are out of their private homes and looking up at the sky. Dark as night when it comes to morning time, the sky is experiencing a whirlpool like a typhoon.

Blowing wind. Ringing thunder. I don't know why this phenomenon is happening, but everyone could sense that it was a foretaste of something not good happening.

Eventually there will be a huge crack in the sky. When people look at it, the space is destroyed as if the glass had broken. And from that rift, with the awesome spirit of darkness, "something" descended slowly on the earth.

The sanctuary of the sky and the earth are each present on a different dimensional axis, so they cannot come and go by normal means. The transfer spell could not be used, and the only method was the "gate" generated by [space-time coupling]. But that "something" forcefully broke the law of the dimensional axis and appeared directly on this earth from the sanctuary of the sky.

"What is that...!?"

"Creatures...!!"

People feel unprecedented fear at the emergence of "something" that neither dragons nor ghosts can describe as alien. The body length was superior to a thousand meters and no longer completely deviated from the boundaries of the organism. The identity of the "something" was the "phantom beast" unleashed from the gates of the phantom beast.

I came back after thousands of years of sealing to bring this world back to nothing. Bless you, inferior creatures. End of the world!! "

When the phantom beast quietly raised his right hand, he unleashed a tremendous shell from its palm. It strikes directly into a mountain at an altitude of two thousand meters, which stood in the distance, causing a huge explosion. The area, a few tens of kilometres radius around that mountain, was further transformed in an instant.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!!"

People scream and run out forgetting me. But there was no longer a safe place in this world.

"Stupid......!!"

It didn't take long for me to discover that supermassive "something" in [Chili Eye]. And at the same time, I understood with intuition. That's exactly what the Seven Stars Angel was looking for to revive: the Fantasy Beast.

But it's weird. It is certain that the resurrection of the phantom beast requires a thousand human souls. I stopped the soul hunt by burying Seal, and as a result the souls collected by the Seven Star Angels should have been less than half of them. Yet why is the phantom beast...!?

No, not if you're thinking about that anymore. Now the phantom beast has fulfilled its resurrection. The vision of world annihilation that I saw in [the prediction of the future] was undoubtedly brought about by that phantom beast. Then at all costs, that phantom beast must be buried.

I honestly have no idea that the means exist to defeat such a monster. But if there were to be buried, there would be none but me, the king. Then I'll have to. [M]

The phantom beast is similarly doing everything possible to destroy his breath. I don't have time to work out a ploy anymore. We need to get to the phantom beast as soon as possible.

"Spell [Momentary Move]!!"

"What!? Master Ute, where the hell..."

Before I finished listening to Peta, I left the Great Hall of King's Castle. To fight the phantom beast and bury him with this hand...
