Episode 209: Once Upon a Time

The scream of the phantom beast strikes all over the world. Finally, we were able to set his HP to zero. But......

'You did it, Mr. Ute!

"... no"

While Raphael raised his voice of joy, I was still not relaxed.

"Do it... you gave it to me...!! But... I will not perish... I will not perish...!!"

Not yet. That's not the end of it. I don't think he's going to stop his breath to the point where he has his HP set to 0. If my predictions are correct...

"Spell [Destiny Distortion]!!"

A boring but phantom beast chanted a spell. A spell that twisted past reincarnated once as my champion. Perhaps what he's trying to do...

"With this spell... let me distort my dead future...!!"

Again. If you can twist the past, it's not surprising that you've been twisted the future. Do you intend to avoid your own death by activating [fate distortion] against yourself?

"Too bad... this will make your struggle a bubble of water... as long as this spell exists... I am immortal...!!"

I don't know about that.

But this development was predicted. When HP reaches zero, he will always use [Destiny Distortion].

"Unlock the spell [Future Giving]!

And here I am, starting a last resort.

"What... that spell...!!"

"Oh. It's a spell written off by your [Proclamation of Despair]"

But before it was written off, I was flying some spell into the future by [Future Giving]. Even if it disappeared from my possession spell, it didn't disappear to its effect.

"Oh, again [the light of life]... what the hell does that mean when I activate it now?"

"Who told you to activate [the light of life]?

Indeed, I have made many revivals in this struggle with a combo of [future gifts] and [light of life]. But it wasn't [the light of life] that flew into the future in the last [future gift].

"This will be the spell that will give you guidance… scratch it. Spell [Event Conversion]!!"

This [Event Conversion] is a sixth star spell. It is obvious that MP will be lacking with the status corrected by [Weak World]. So I was flying [Event Conversion] spells into the future before [World of the Weak] was activated.

"I don't know what you're going to do... I don't get it...!!! Spell [Curse Forever]!!"

"It's no use. You said that the [Eternal Curse]" erases every spell that is activated against you. "I didn't activate this spell against you."

Prior to that, as Kiel explained, [Event Conversion] takes time for the effect to take effect in proportion to the size of the subject. It is therefore practically impossible to exercise this against phantom beasts.

"What... then what are you...!?"

"Exercising [Event Conversion] is against the spell you chanted - [Destiny Distortion]"

……!?

Yes, [Event Conversion] is valid for spells, not just objects. Spells don't take time because the concept of size doesn't exist.

but just in an instant it is impossible to rewrite the very effects of [fate distortion]. So I rewrote...

"It seems that you intended to distort the future of your own death by [distortion of destiny], but that is not the case. The spell will be activated in a different way than your will."

"What do you mean………!?"

"We'll see soon enough. Well, then, enjoy yourself for a long time.

That's what I said, I snapped my fingers.

"Do it... you gave it to me...!! But... I will not perish... I will not perish...!!"

"Spell [Destiny Distortion]!!"

!?

"Do it... you gave it to me...!! But... I will not perish... I will not perish...!!"

"Spell [Destiny Distortion]!!"

"(WHAT... IS THIS...!?)"

"Do it... you gave it to me...!! But... I will not perish... I will not perish...!!"

"Spell [Destiny Distortion]!!"

"(What the hell... what's going on...!?)"

"Joy. As you wish, your future of death has changed. Maybe it's more brutal than just dying."

The phantom beast in front of you is repeating the exact same motion over and over again. It's as if they've shown repeat footage over and over again.

"Let me tell you something. The rest were rewritten by [Event Conversion] to your [Destiny Distortion] subject. That's how I connected your future to the past.

"(What... and...!?))

"In other words, you will permanently repeat the future that continues into the past, one step ahead of death. I can't imagine how painful and humiliating that is."

And this was also a return of interest to him for twisting my past.

"(Bullshit... don't... my... this...!!)"

"But there's only one way out of this loop. It's about you accepting your own death. You activated [Destiny Distortion] from your obsession with raw. Then the loop stops once and for all as long as you throw away your obsession with raw. That would also mean your death."

"(of…………………!!)"

"Well, phantom beast. Choose between repeating the same time indefinitely or accepting death cleanly. That said, the answer would be something that is decided..."

Until then, I decided to look away quietly. [M]

"Do it... you gave it to me...!! But... I will not perish... I will not perish...!!"

"Spell [Destiny Distortion]!!"

"Do it... you gave it to me...!! But... I will not perish... I will not perish...!!"

"Spell [Destiny Distortion]!!"

"Do it... you gave it to me...!! But... I will not perish... I will not perish...!!"

"Spell [Destiny Distortion]!!"

Ten, twenty times and even a loop is demonstrated in front of me.

"Gu... Ooooooooooo...!!"

And around eighty times over, the loop finally stops. It meant that the phantom beast abandoned his obsession with life and accepted his own death.

"Why... this immensely powerful man... who was once a fragile man... why would he lose...!?"

Looking at the flesh of the phantom beast that turns into dust, I said.

"It is not the power that divided the victory or loss of this struggle"

I would not have been able to defeat the phantom beast alone. [M] It was the devil's, the angels', and the human companions that made me victorious.

"... sleep in peace. A phantom beast."

Eventually, the phantom beast's flesh can disappear without a trace. The presence of the Phantom Beast was completely extinguished from the world.
