"Yuri!"

Ellea screams.

And even if I try to rush over to the Illiteum, which doesn't move while falling, avoiding multiple installed light spheres, I can't move forward as I would like.

Furthermore, Spaces, who changed his target to Teneritas, did not allow it.

"You're next. You don't even know your name. But I want you to know how wonderful Orihalcon is."

There's no moves or snags in Spaces.

Errea dodges trickery as she stretches out her hand and foot made of Scylla, rolling out of her groan.

"Haha, disgusting move!

Sainse leaks candid thoughts about Teneritus's behavior as if it were being moved by his hands and feet, rather than by his hands and feet.

But Ellea didn't care at all.

Rather ugly, it felt good to see my nature exposed.

Still, it doesn't make sense to keep dodging at such close range.

Apparently, conveniently, neither the heat emitted by Spaces herself nor the heat waves on the meltbomb sole will affect her in any way.

In other words, Ellea is the only one who is unilaterally depleted by heat.

"Eat, eat, eat. Eh!

Franças, who just got hit unilaterally and accumulated frustration, comes down from above Spaces.

Gaggyyyy -!

A blow all over Arkedia's body is stopped with one hand.

It was a clear result, and I still have to do it.

Tentacles on Teneritus' right arm become deformed and sharp swords.

"Ahhh!

It is merely a burning blade, such as an unfamiliar sword.

Spaces reached for the other hand in an attempt to stop the sword.

but the sword unravels just before touching his hand. As he passes, he now changes shape to a spear in front of his body.

Gyooooooo!

The spear pierced its chest as it twisted at high speed in front of Spaces.

"I am clever, convenient and envious"

Sasakse said so with a mixed smile.

Ellea unleashed the attack with the intention of mimicking the drill, but the effect seems to be weak.

Arkedia, planted from above, is thrown away, Teneritus grabs the spear and is drawn, and Spaces' knee is engulfed in his abdomen.

Goh!

Dull sound, sharp impact.

Ellea remembers a light glare and her feet flutter.

On that face, Spaces slapped his fist in.

"Hagu......!

"Errea!"

Lily's voice sounds.

Teneritas was decent and blown away with the power of Spaces.

"I don't even know your name. You look around and you die?

"I said it's that way to die!

Instantly approaching spaces to distracted Frances.

Goo-wow!

The shock wave rocked the surrounding flames as Arkedia hit the puncher on the rolled out right fist.

Continue to respond with your left fist, your grasping right hand, your stretching left hand again and hitting the Punisher on all attacks.

It was a battle that seemed antagonistic at first glance, but Arkedia's feet were twitching and retreating.

Differences in power are difficult.

No matter how low the original specs of the spaces are, there's no way that Orihalcon can handle the multiple-expanded output with raw animators.

And watching Ellea and Francus gradually being hunted down - Lily watched as she fell to the ground.

I'm doing something about it now, but it won't last that long.

The unusually tough arkedia is still not as expensive as the Teneritus HP.

To fight a space where HP is already diminishing just by getting closer, you should be in a state where you can say the limit.

I regretted it.

I knew it, but I couldn't do anything.

The difference in power from Ultio has been evident for a long time.

But now, instead of the Cape, Ellea and Francis - no, not even a lot of other people have arrived.

I can't believe they're dealing with Anima using the struggling Orihalcon like that.

All I could say was reckless.

Still, I was wondering if it might help, and I stood on the battlefield - but this seems to be the case.

HP ran out, my legs broke, and now I can't even stand up.

"I... to do this... eh"

Cape won't be mad to see a lily like this, and he'll love you as much as he ever did.

That was extra miserable.

Perhaps the Cape didn't expect Lily to be a force of war.

I let her accompany me on my journey, purely because I wanted to be with her, that's all.

He also asked me many times on the journey, every time I felt the desire inside me satisfied.

At first it was just dependency.

She had no more but a cape, so I relied on her to shrink.

But now, purely - chest up, I can tell you I love you.

That's why I want to be useful.

I want to be more myself than I want, otherwise, I can't say I'm worthy of the Cape.

"Ugh, guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Ilithum stood up, supporting a building that was hard to survive.

I can't get my left foot well into it, when I can float it, it shakes every bit, and at the same time, it runs painfully intense pain.

I'm guessing it's a fractured condition where humans say it is.

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."

If I hadn't groaned, I couldn't stand the pain.

What the hell am I supposed to do with walking?

Ask yourself, there's no answer.

Only the strong will to ”do something" was there.

Dagger missiles are useless because they don't arrive and Misericorde and Scard Blades are impossible to use right now, such as melee combat.

The most effective is probably Vanitas.

But now that Arkedia is somehow outmaneuvering Spaces' offense, I didn't feel like it would stand in Frances' way to break in with a single person.

"There's still something else... ghoul, something... there should be!

It's useless.

But there must be something somewhere somewhere that can be of no use and even a little advantage to the war situation.

Believe that, a lily that spins thoughts.

But - it can't be that easy to find.

"Still, I can go. Huh!

It was Francus who excites himself in his own words, but its limits are approaching.

Ellea occasionally covered for Arkedia in Tentacles Ray, but I guess not trying to get close leaves no more HP.

Right now, we can do something about this situation in all directions.

"Just me, yet......!

There has to be something, somewhere, somewhere in this soul.

You have to look for it even if you can't find it.

If it wasn't there, I'd have to make it.

thirst.

Make yourself strong, strong, stronger than you are now, more useful to the Cape.

But... such things don't exist anywhere in her.

No, to her in the first place, there was no such thing as strength from the beginning.

Because everything was a disguise.

An excellent childhood tame named Shiro Hirose, an even better friend named Gui Weiyue, himself attached there.

To be the person who deserves to stand, Lily has painted herself with all sorts of lies.

I really don't even like hanging out with people, I'm clumsy with my hands, I hate studying, I shouldn't have been able to help myself, but I've been faking myself just to look good, to stay in the ”winners”.

So Lily's skills are a lonely lie (affectation).

It is the existence of that skill that makes her true.

- What I wanted, what it was.

Lily, who kept falsifying herself, had lost sight of her true self if she realized it.

That reminded me of nothing else, Cape.

Sweet, drowning, dependent.

Sweet sweet mud that doesn't require an unwanted effort, just someone to be supple.

That's what the weak lilies really wanted the most.

Yet at some point, I liked the Cape too much, and I made the same mistake again.

I didn't need to change myself.

"Oh, shit, I..."

Scream, bloody, big reversal, what a pattern.

You don't have to try to be strong.

I can't do what I can't do from the start.

I can't believe Lily can do it in front of an overwhelming threat, just to be as vain and lie as ever at best.

If you think you're powerless, it wasn't yourself you should change, it was the lies you were haunting.

"I can't... I don't have to"

The path, if you accept yourself as it is, looks natural.

Hands up is on the extension line of the route I've been walking on.

"I, like me... lie, let's"

Grabbing is something similar and non-existent.

Lily was unconsciously uttering that word that came to mind in her soul.

"Skill Activated (Boot)... Walking Alone Void (Affection)"

Words remain the same.

He hasn't changed either.

But the lies are even more colorful, moving away from the truth.

When a skill activation is declared, an identical Illiteum identity is created, approaching the enemy the same as usual.

Sasakse didn't even care.

Because to such a degree of separation, it dissolves with heat anyway and disappears on its own.

"Is that not gone?

But not this time.

I can't be in the sun (burnout) heat wave range, but there's no change in my split, and I'm going straight to the space.

"Something has changed...? Ha-ha-ha! Whatever you've done now, there's no way you can compete with the beauty of Orihalcon!

Spaces stops meeting with Arkedia and heads to destroy his identity.

"Don't run away!

Francus gets angry, but Sainse didn't even glance.

The heated fists rolled out hit the chest of the splinter, penetrating - and yet the statue was flat there.

No, isn't it even a hit in the first place?

There was absolutely no feeling of touching anything.

Rather than that, there were no entities in the newly created identities.

"Oh, my God, it's just a mess."

Gun!

However, the disfigurement mercilessly mutilated Spaces, who showed his back, in Misericorde.

"... Huh?

It doesn't have much power.

But the blow was too much to stun Sasakse.

I certainly couldn't touch it earlier.

But the assault on the splinter is hitting for some reason.

Even if you reach for Misericorde with a quick move that maybe only the dagger has an entity, it still slips through.

Then the statue shook up the dagger again and tore apart Spaces' torso.

Zach!

A dagger that hits deeper than earlier.

"You touch them, but you don't touch them from me...?

Yes, the new skills that Lily has gained are exactly what being itself is a lie and a tick.

As long as the body is alive, it will not disappear, producing a body for unilaterally attacking.

Illiteum's performance is still not very strong compared to the other Four generals and Errea.

It's a copy of the body, not so intensely armed as a split body, but if you don't accept any attacks from the target, it's different.

And another remarkable characteristic of a new identity.

"Vanitas"

Do-o-o-o-oon!

When the lilies squeal so, the statues thrive, involving their surroundings and blowing themselves up.

- Still, my stature hasn't taken any damage.

Due to the armed trait of Vanitas, the presence of an enemy who walks flat through the flames while still bombing himself is far too troublesome, even though his stature is not immediately capable of a series because he is alive.

"Eh... but as long as we take down the main body!

Illiteum would be able to stab the todome already in a state of imminent death, without having to touch it directly, or just punch a sole in the vicinity.

A space that puts a lot of effort into your legs and tries to jump all at once.

"How long have you been turning your back on me?

But behind it was Arkedia already approaching.

Gagong!

Punishers burst into defenseless backs.

"Agoo!

Spaces manages to regain his posture, although he is about to roll over at the forefront.

But the next moment, Teneritus was imminent in front of me.

I tied the tentacles of both arms together and deformed them into a disfigured axe, slamming them into the belly of Spaces.

Baggy!

"Gu, gu"

The fuselage floated to a strong impact on the abdomen.

As the iritum split closer to the falling point of the spaces drawing further parabola, it rotates creasely and cleaves with a skirt blade.

Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Spaces, who was furiously attacked without a foot on the ground, failed to land and fell to the ground.

It's not Francus who doesn't miss it there.

Approaching quickly, smashing down enemies or waving down the Punisher.

"Hih."

Roll over and dodge on the brink with a frightened voice.

I thought I'd get up and feel safe.

Convinced that this is the time to attack, Ellea still hasn't loosened his hand in the attack.

Now the beating by deforming Scylla into a flail.

Arkedia launches even higher where the spaces have risen.

There, a large number of dagger missiles punched in by separation and Tentacles Ray of Teneritas.

Punishers slapped him where he fell, and again Teneritus, three times Illiteum's split.

Spaces will no longer have to be flirted with without the art of exchange for a coordinated attack of three planes that strike in a row without letting their hair in.

"Oh, Oli... Hal, Conn's... no, Chichi... but...!

"No matter how much performance is boosted by Orihalcon, your HP doesn't have as much as 100,000 to estimate. I mean, if you keep hitting me like this, heh!

"Now we're done!

Teneritas and Arkedia pinch down Spaces.

A blunt instrument made of tentacles on one side and a blunt glowing puncher on the other.

Almost at the same time, I slapped him on the belly and back.

Dogshah!

It's not like before, something sounds crushed.

It was evidence of damage to Orihalcon wrapped around his whole body.

"Lily, give me a toddle!

"Come on, kill him!

"Come on, my lie......!

Countless daggers fall apart from its interior as Illiteum's split pinches the edge of the skirt blade.

Those daggers arrived in a space of full-blown creativity to have the will.

Dodd, dodd, dodd!

The tracked small bomb in the form of a dagger. It explodes every time it touches an enemy aircraft.

One by one is a small flame of explosion, but by the countless gatherings it brings together - Spaces danced through the universe, wrapped in a great flame and smashing through the fragments of the Orihalcon.

And - the space slammed to the ground, stops the movement perfectly.

There was still breath in Sainse, but I guess he lost consciousness due to a strong external shock.

"I won... of...?

I couldn't be relieved if my opponent stopped moving because I had seen a monster called Haylos.

But when I can confirm that the melting bullet sole installed around me has disappeared and that the heat that Spaces himself was releasing is gone, I finally get a sense of reality.

"Yes, apparently we win"

"Pfft, Empire...... not our strength, you know!

Arkedia pokes her arms up to heaven and gets drunk on victory.

Seeing that figure, Lily felt her strength fall all the way out of her body.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Why, why, why, what do you do!

Meanwhile, the battles between Gladiato and Avaritia (Xynia) and Eela (Crypto) were also in good hands.

They were two people who were on the defensive side until halfway there, but if you realize it, the war situation is reversed.

Gladiato wields a mortar and vegarta in a grump.

But the knife doesn't even scratch the two of us.

"Anima's performance is supposed to be overwhelmingly higher on me!

Gladiato instantly dives behind Avaritia and is slashed.

But Xynia seemed to have read the motion from the beginning, and let her try to dodge it gently, as if with eyes on her back.

I've been doing this since just now.

One day, Gladiato's attacks stopped hitting two people in any way.

And eventually, it becomes unilaterally damaging, and now I even feel two letters of defeat approaching.

"The power of Orihalcon is so wonderful! No, no, no, no. Something's wrong! There's no way I'm just gonna lose to Anima! 'Cause it's Orihalcon!? I'm an Orihalcon!?

There is no longer too much room, even the words uttered are disjointed.

Xynia and Crypto heard it and laughed "ha" almost simultaneously.

"I don't know if you're an Orihalcon, but you're a shirot with a sword."

"There's no way I'm an amateur, I've been trained!

"Then that's what caused it, boy."

Crypto said, lightly taking Gladiato's sword away.

"I'm trained in half, so it's easy to read. It's harder to do amateurs wielding swords than you are right now."

"Ku - don't be ridiculous. Ah!

"I'm not making a fool of myself. Uh, I'm gonna be emotional, so that's how I'm gonna be monotonous."

The Avaritia gently avoided a series of attacks that would be launched quickly, even dancing.

Whether they take the back again or even an ambush from the sides or overhead, it doesn't hit them at all when they read it.

"This is what happens. Whoa!

"Calm down a little. I can see the habit."

Breathe in time, the trajectory of the sword tip, slight body movements.

All of them had taught Xynia and Crypto what Linzaki would do next.

So his attack won't hit, and the two attacks hit Gladiato precisely.

When Xynia dodges a critical slaughter by Vegarta, she steps into the next moment and targets that wrist with a parashrama.

Gun!

Unable to withstand the strong shock, a mortar was bounced off its hands and stabbed away.

"Oh, you've seen it."

"This is how Orihalcon's power..."

"The other way around, that's what happens because you rely on foreign powers"

Crypto says so, approaching Gladiato from the side.

Rikizaki showed his defense in Vegarta, where he left the sword, but Ella's sword (Floss) altered its orbit along the way.

And just like Xynia earlier, I aim at her wrist and slap off her sword.

"I feel sorry for the swordsman."

"Ah... ah..."

"After all, it wasn't a difference to be filled with force, boy."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...!

Elia approaches Rinzaki slowly, where she can only lose her prey and groan.

"Xenia, okay?

"Kississi, I'll give it to you this time. Because I don't have the skills to make decisions like you do."

"Then don't hesitate."

Grasp the floss pattern tightly with both hands and stop your legs a little further away from Gladiato.

I pointed my cutting edge at Gladiato and exhaled lightly - pushing it in a straight line toward an enemy that could no longer even move.

"Apertio Florissi!"

Ella wields her sword without mistake.

The slaughter rolled out splits into four parts so that the flower opens at the moment of hit.

Zashu!

They all deeply chop enemies and Gladiato kneels on the spot.

"Orihal, Conn... why..."

He fell into depression as he threw up a polluter-like dialogue to the end.

A crypt that bites the aftertaste with its sword in place.

He was not as much a combat fanatic as Xynia, but to the extent that he enjoyed fighting his mighty enemies, he is a samurai.

"Brilliant."

Half-kidding, Xenia applauds admirably.

However, even if we applaud each other with anima, it only makes the sound of boneless metal bumping into each other.

"Well, we can't still lose to the young ones"

"That's an old man's statement. By the way, how much | barrier value (HP) do you have left?

"490."

"Alright, I'm 530!

Saying, Avaritia posed as a gut.

To Xynia, who wins by a slight difference, a crypt that turns back.

"It's a trivial difference, I'm not interested."

"I don't regret it, actually."

"Gu..."

It was a picture star.

It is a humiliating consequence for Crypt, who always did not want to lose to Xynia alone.

"But... These guys weren't as strong as I imagined, either, eh? I definitely thought someone was gonna die. Especially the crypt."

"I thought Xynia was gonna die, too. I guess the specs of the original anima still matter"

"Are you saying that Haylos was the right guy? It's like the future was promised just to use anima, but I can't believe I'm being drunk by something I don't know what to do."

Orihalcon increases Anima's abilities to several fold.

In other words, the difference between the original forces becomes even more pronounced.

Haylos was a great anima full of talent, even in the vegan state.

Compared to that, neither Spaces, nor Gladiato, nor Stoudium still possess the ability to do so only within the bounds of common sense.

That said, if you didn't understand the properties of that anima beforehand, it would have even been difficult to fight for good.

"For the most part, if the Emperor would have left the Emperor's Zoub there, it wouldn't have happened."

"It was just a fight outside then. Well, maybe the town wasn't as damaged as it is now."

Crypto said looking at the fallen Gladiato.

At that time, the corner of the Empire suddenly becomes noisy.

When Xynia saw the sounder, there was a green anima that fell to the ground and the exiles delighted in victory with their hands up.

"Oh, I think we're done over there."

"Stoudium? Looks like you couldn't beat the violence in numbers."

"Looks like we beat Spaces, and now we're settled."

There was no Anima in that unit with outstanding abilities, but it divides quite a few for that matter.

As far as I can tell, the victims are numerous, but the five people who have miraculously exiled have survived.

"Let's end this one by stabbing Todome"

"Aren't you going to let him live and interrogate you?

"I don't think it makes sense. Besides, if you were feathered like Haylos, it wouldn't have happened."

Ella approaching Gladiato with that said.

But he stopped on the way.

'Cause I got unfamiliar anima in my sight.

"Who's that?

An unidentified anima that appears out of nowhere and rushes toward the East Side.

Xynia knew what it looked like.

"Oh, the last of the people who have been in exile. I'm sure... it was Mutsuhira, his anima Fats."

"Mutshila? Surely in a state of mental instability, wasn't he supposed to have evacuated with the residents?

"Hey, what are you out for now?"

◇ ◇ ◇

"Ku-chan, ku-chan!

Hearing such a voice, Lily, Ellea, and Francus turned to the Lord of their voices in unison.

Only Lily seems to have spotted the identity from her voice.

"... Roppei?

"When it comes to Mutshira, you're the one who was summoned with him, aren't you?"

"Yeah, and I'm also Sainse's best friend..."

Fats held that body up as he rushed over to the immobile space while falling.

"What's an inspiring goodbye? I have a bad feeling. I just want to kill him soon."

"Come on, don't kill me! Ku-chan's not bad!

"Yeah, it's awkward... I'll leave it to Lily"

Roppei was the bad type of Francus.

Has it bothered you to deal with them, too, and you deflect your face openly?

"Ku-chan, it's me. Play, huh?

"Oh... Haru... Ko..."

"Good, you get me, don't you?

Obviously, I'm only thinking about Orihalcon, but it seems that Roppei's brain conveniently interpreted that voice as calling its own name.

"I only have Kuku-chan, when Ku-chan is gone, I can't live in a world like this...!

"Soba, apparently..."

"Ku-chan feels the same way, doesn't she? to me... if there's anything I can do..."

I was frightened and watched that exchange with Lily and Ellea, but it was just the limit of my patience.

Sainse isn't dead yet, she won't be safe until she stabs Todome.

"Mr. Roppei, it's too late. Even if you survive, Mr. Sainse won't go back."

"I don't need to go back, if you'll live!

"You won't even be able to call me alive."

"Still fine!

It doesn't make any sense.

Lily sighed heavily.

I wasn't much of a favorite type of girl from the beginning, but I didn't mean this far.

"Lily, we're going to have to exercise our strength."

"Right, well, it shouldn't have been heavily armed. Can I take care of it?

"Absolutely."

Illiteum has managed to stand with Teneritus' shoulders.

There was no way I could fight or anything like this, and I had to leave it to Ellea.

……

Roppei exposes his vigilance when he hears such an exchange between the two.

Fats turned to Illiteum and Teneritus when he gripped a small sausage gun shaped like a pistol.

"I won't let you... I'll protect Ku...!

"Come on, Roppei. We're fighting for our lives, and we can't afford to hear such selfishness."

"Selfish isn't you guys. No! People are dying!? Of course I can't overlook that!

Theoretical arming by sudden correctness.

Deciding that a verbal solution was no longer possible, Teneritas began preparing to release Tentacles Ray.

Roppei and I know about how poor my anima is.

I guess I didn't get him to take part in this fight for some reason, because of course he was mentally unstable or because of Sainse's presence, but the primary cause was Fats' weakness.

Less armed and less skilled.

That toothache was making Roppei even more mean.

That's when the letters in her eyes appear.

An unfamiliar word, never shown before. It was - hidden by Fats, a skill.

Activation condition 1, the presence of HP0 ally anima around.

Activation condition 2, that your own HPMP is in the state of maximum value.

If you are normally in combat, the conditions you will never meet.

It never showed up before and there was no other way for Roppei to fail to realize its existence.

Even now, she was able to satisfy the conditions because of the distorted situation in which she herself recognized Sasakse as her ally.

"Well, if I help you with this..."

Roppei was not lost.

With this skill, you can save Ku-chan.

No longer in her head, that was all she had left.

It is only less than dust to her today, such as the lives of others.

"Ku-chan, I'll help you in a minute! Skill Activation (Boot), Irresponsible Self-Sacrifice (Sacrifice)!"

At the same time as the proclamation, all magic is unleashed from Fats.

The HP and MP values reflected in Roppei's vision instantly went to 0, and the energy became particles of light and scattered across Teito.

A grain of light pouring out of the sky as if it were snow.

They do not accumulate on the ground, but slowly gather in a particular anima.

"The Fats didn't have any skills!?

"The light... envelops the spaces"

And the light that covers the fuselage enters the wound to fill the cracked orihalcon, healing (...).

Spaces wasn't the only one who benefited from it.

Both Gladiato and Studium were similarly enveloped in light.

irresponsible self-sacrifice (Sacrifice).

Its effect is to consume all HPMP and restore all surrounding ally anima.

A lot of people died.

Survivors are scratched, too, not in a position to fight anymore.

That's it, the three Animas, who made a lot of sacrifices and were finally able to defeat them, were now - intact - about to rise again.

"Lies......"

I wanted to think it was a dream.

But I can hear the stood up space, the saddle voice I hear from it, and make you realize that it's real, even if you don't like it.

"Thanks, Mm-hmm. I thought I lost, but I can't believe I got up again. I knew Orihalcon was a great substance."

"Good, Ku-chan's safe. If Ku wasn't here, I, I...!

"Yeah, yeah, you're sad without Orihalcon, you know. But, you know, we have to fight now, so wait a little further. Because I'll teach you Orihalcon right away."

"Okay!

She was asked a conversation where her brain refused to understand, and Lily felt dazzled.

Ellea, who lends her shoulders, likewise loses her words to a situation that can only be described as a nightmare.

"Everybody worked hard, but this, this irrational thing -!"

Even while the lilies are in despair, the three animas move out.

You noticed that they were each fighting incompatible opponents, Spaces flew to the displaced, Gladiato to the lilies, and Studium to Crypto and Xynia.

Crypt is convinced.

This is a loss, he said.

But the war had not vanished from Lily's eyes.

No matter how irrational your opponent is, you won't die until you meet Cape again.

You can't give up, no matter who they are or who they are already dying of.

Lay lies on lies and let them survive no matter what.

And the second round of despair opened the curtain in case there was no victory or anything.
