□ [Brilliant Cavalry] Ray Sterling

How much time has passed since I fell after my battle with [General Demon].

Being exposed to a triple state anomaly and physical and mental fatigue caused by the battle against a powerful enemy keeps my back off the ground.

While falling on your back, take [Potion] to avoid a death penalty for [Violent] damage, and at the same time check the outcome of this battle.

The level of [Brilliant Cavalry] had reached 21 after a battle with [Demon General]. This way of rising reminds me of fighting Franklin. Again, there is a lot of experience per experience only far above the level and in the form reached.

On the other hand, I don't remember leveling up during the battle, so the devil's share didn't seem to be in there. I guess that's what it is.

"The increased skills are…" Brilliant Ball Beast Enhancement "and" Brilliant Ball Authority, "these two?"

The skills I got this time are two of them, both with a skill level of one.

"Brilliant Jade Beast Enhancement" is a skill that enhances the performance of brilliant jade beasts, including brilliant jade horses, as written. Increased mobility and enhanced equipment skills performance are the main factors, and are now enhanced by 10%.

The Brilliant Ball Authority... I'm not sure.

The description reads' Opening of the Restrictive Functions of Some Brilliant Ball Beasts', but does not say anything specific.

Thought it might have something to do with Silver's skills, but as you can see, Silver lent them to Azrite.

"… wait"

Nemesis had me take a recovery item right after that to go check on the damage to the surrounding area, especially the orphanage. The children of the orphanage are also being evacuated.

The world feels terribly quiet when you stop moving because there is no one beside you.

In doing so, the eyelids gradually become heavier.

There is also continuous damage caused by [fierce poison], you shouldn't be able to sleep and so on, but your body is heavy with… [debilitating], and your vision distorted with [intoxication] is hard even with your eyes open.

That's how I keep my eyes closed, spending a few minutes not dreaming or presenting...

".................. ugh"

In my vain consciousness, I felt someone touch my body.

The guy put his hand on my forehead and neck and looked breathtaking.

Then there was the feeling of something hard hitting my lips, the feeling of being poured into something like a drug.

"... it won't heal, why...!

What I hear is Azrite's voice.

Apparently, he ran after the Knights rescue.

If she's back, so am I...

"[The healing panacea] is ineffective, you haven't been able to swallow it...? Then..."

I heard a chatter and something coming off, and then I felt a ghost temperature on my face.

To that sign, when I open my lid......

…………

…………

... Azrite's face was right around the corner and his eyes met.

At a distance so close that my lips might touch it, like the touch of exhalation...... I saw her face.

Azrite is not wearing a mask right now.

I just can tell it's her by the color of her eyes and the contour of her face.

I saw her look for the first time...... I thought she was purely beautiful.

"... ugh!?"

You were surprised that you and I met eye to eye, Azrite jumped away and swallowed something that was in her mouth.

She has a [soothing all-purpose psychic] medicine bottle in her hand.

Perhaps he mistakenly assumed that I couldn't take it because he didn't fully heal me for drugging me falling down, and he tried to make me take it by mouth transfer directly.

I've been worried sick for a long time.

"Thank you, Azrite. But I'll be fine. And because this state anomaly is a recoil of skill, [healing panacea] doesn't cure it."

"Oh, yeah!

That's what she said as she put her mask back on in a hurry.

Maybe he took it off because he was in the way to mouth it.

... Glad I woke up early.

Because it's a life-saving operation, but Azrite would have been pre-dowry and might regret it.

"... but Ray. Are you okay with a condition abnormality that doesn't heal?

"This condition anomaly disappears over time, so no problem."

Looking at the clocks installed throughout the city, it was like fifteen minutes from the settlement with [the Demon General].

Then is it time to solve the disadvantages after 1200 seconds from the end of the summons?

However, [Gardranda] used "Zero" and the "Armor" is still not working correctly.

I guess that Zero exerted all that power in exchange for the recoil of prolonged usage restrictions.

Will it take some time now to use Purgatory Fire and Hellfire again?

... Nevertheless, I looked at the clock and noticed, is it still after 6: 00 in the morning?

It's a battle that started around dawn, so you still had that time. The sun is still not out of the eastern mountains.

"Azrite, how'd it go over there?

"... the Kalceratan Knights have been rescued. Most of the remaining demons have been defeated... and the remaining demons have disappeared."

"Right."

I knew that the third and fourth [Geeganite] he was putting out had disappeared, but he still said the summons would be lifted when the summoner became a death penalty even in the demon summons.

That would be the same for me and [Gardranda], so we'll need to be careful in the future.

"If the rescue was done in time, would it have been correct to lend silver"

"You know, Ray,... that was so helpful, but you should stop lending people brilliant jade horses next time.... because it's dangerous"

"I'll do it right."

I'll lend it to you again in case of an emergency.

"So where are the residents evacuated?

"We got confused about where we were going to evacuate while the devil was here, but now that the devil's gone, we're all on the move to a city facility. I left that to the Knights who can move."

Right. There are no more enemies in the city, and that's a relief.

"So that's why the devil disappeared... you defeated [the demon general]?

"Oh."

"... yes"

Azrite meditated to think of something.

For a moment, I also thought it was because I wanted to fight [the Demon General], my master's enemy, with my own hands, but I felt a little different.

It's like, I regret something......

"Azrite?"

"... no, nothing"

"What about the innkeepers in that mountain?

"We've been evacuated. A lot of people were scared, but don't worry about the skilled Tian who stayed at the inn or the Master guiding them to evacuation."

"Right...... good"

Now I don't have to worry about human harm first.

"Then all you have to do is stop the Huangyu soldier's plant and defeat the Empire after them."

"... Ray, are you still going to fight?

Azrite's atmosphere somehow got heavier and its expression looked a little depressed over the mask as well.

"The state anomaly will disappear soon. We need to get to the ruins."

"You fight that [demon general], you're exhausted enough to fall, and you still fight?

"Oh. This case isn't over in the fight against [the Demon General]. Then we can still do it."

"............ yes. You fight again."

Azrite's words seemed to blame him for something.

I thought it was against me, but it feels different.

Then what is she... who is she blaming?

"Fighting the current [Demon General], the case of the Gozmaids Bandits,... But even that Gideon, how can you... try to fight for someone until you're so hurt?

"... Azrite?

"I heard yesterday that you chose to protect me and this calchelatan. I'm sure you've chosen to do that before. But does that have to go on whether you're so worn out or sacrificing yourself? Why are you repeating that over and over again?

…………

"Because you are the Master, you will not die... Are you always trying to protect someone without saving yourself? But it's not. In this country, we have to protect people…, we have to face hardship more than anyone else…"

"Azrite, that's different"

Azrite's words can be seen in the content itself, with some disturbances before and after.

That came up looking at me rather than at me... I think it was a disturbance caused by her inner emotions.

But against her being cornered by her own words, I point out the misperception of me in the words.

"I stick my neck in the case and I'm worn out, not because I sacrificed myself and tried to protect someone"

"... Huh?

My reason is not such a big deal.

"I'm just... I'm just going in there thinking 'bad aftertaste'"

Just, that's all.

Always thinking so, I just kept sticking my neck in the 'bad aftertaste events' that happened in front of me.

"Overlooking the 'bad aftertaste events' as it were was was harder on me than this avatar hurting or scaring myself. So I moved to not be. That's not the kind of noble self-sacrifice Azrite thinks."

Sacrificing yourself isn't a saint to save someone.

Because I'm still weak and always worn out, that's just what the results look like.

"It's not the saint prince's logic as Azrite thinks. I just made a personal move. I fought [General Demon], I went to help my kids from the Gozmaids Bandits, and I sold a fight to Franklin at that gideon... all of it."

"... said yesterday," Freedom. "

"Exactly. So, I told you. It's my freedom and my endurance to stand in a crisis in the kingdom and to support you."

I'm just a tough player...

"I can't believe you're saying words like you wouldn't even hear in a stage play right now, but the True or False Verdict isn't reacting either... You, the roots are too popular... heh."

What's wrong, Azrite is laughing in tears again, like yesterday.

"But... that's because you are"

Azrite says something and mouths it without words.

Just after a little silence.

Like she was determined to do something, she took off her mask.

"... Ray, I need you to listen to me. I, the real me..."

And so, when she tried to tell me what was going on with her bare face,

"- Huh!"

The ground rocked.

That's a different shake in nature than the earthquake I felt in the village of Torne the other day.

It's a vibration as if something huge is shaking to the ground where we stand in response to it.

"Ray, give me that...!

That's what Azrite pointed to: a mountain with.

But the landscape is heavily transformed.

Until just now, it must have been a common mountain, except that there were ruins in the ground.

But now...

"Crack it, ru?

Cracked into two pieces from the top of the mountain, the interior is exposed.

The vibration created by the opening of the < ruins > disguised as the mountain - is who this earthquake is.

It was a realistic sight, but change doesn't stay there.

Something crawls out of the mountain that's broken in two.

- Sole is as huge as Fort Castle.

- It produces dozens of thorny feet beneath streamlined armor.

- Everything in my body was wrapped in a metallic glow unlikely in nature.

"... what is that?"

In short, it should also be said to be a robot in the form of a whale sticking its head in a helmet crab.

Specifically, the ancient fish Pterictiodes are close to those that have grown the legs of trilobites.

Thore was too gigantic and odd to exist, but what emerged from < ruins > suggests who Thore is.

"That's the weapon that slept in...!

I don't know what triggered the weapon, but it's been activated.

But it's much bigger than I assumed...... it is.

"Ray! Azrite!

"Nemesis!"

Nemesis, who had entrusted the evacuation of the orphanage, returned here.

He stares at the giant weapon while letting me out of breath and asks me.

"Ray, that was...!

"Oh. Just like Azrite said yesterday. Dr. Mario moved because, after all, there were worse weapons than brilliant Jade Soldiers."

It should be noted that the azurite has already put the mask back on.

I don't know what she was about to say, but I guess she herself decided it wasn't the time.

"What are we going to do, Ray?

"Horn on the rabbit, now I need to know what kind of weapon that is..."

From what I've seen, I think it's a kind of manoeuvre weapon, just like the Brilliant Jade soldier, etc., but it sucks if it was a mobile bomb with that look.

That size, and the strong fear that this calceratan will disappear and disappear if you think of it as a weapon of civilization from earlier periods.

"Start with silver and out of the sky......!

That's when I was looking at that weapon at a distance and I realized it.

Someone is attacking that weapon.

It's a few people with the same face and a wooden doll with a firearm.

- Eight puppets, believed to belong to Tom and Dr. Mario, were fighting a giant weapon.
