Lesson 37: Meaning of the Blade

■ About a famous worker

Famous Flagman.

His name, which is still left in many of the goods of civilization in earlier periods, was known throughout the continent when civilization was luxurious in earlier periods.

His knowledge and ideas were outstanding. Shortly before coming into contact with earlier civilizations, it is also said that Lumpur at the end of earlier civilizations was the only flagman who sparked the technological revolution.

Every country greeted his technology as if it had suddenly come from another world, but he never came under one country.

They don't make it by being kept, they don't make it by being asked.

He had provided the product of his research each time to a country that had provided funds, materials and workforce for "what he wanted to research".

His weapons often fought each other in war.

The nations had also contemplated monopolizing him like that, or assassinating him before he was created any more new weapons, but that did not come true.

Instead, he offered “a country that favoured him", including the Empire of Zweir, by studying and offering "what that country seemed to need" rather than what he wanted to make.

It was also the first case of the Empire of Zweir that he made equipment for environmental improvement, not like weapons.

Therefore, no matter what the inside, the nations decided to go out with him in a direction that was not hostile to him.

Thus, a quarter century after the continent began to revolve around Flagman, the "intercontinental ships” and thirteen “incarnations” of earlier civilizations emerged.

Each country contacted carries out a pre-emptive attack with Flagman's weapons.

But even with the greatest weapon of their civilization, they could not fathom the “incarnation”.

In that situation, Fragman resolved to develop a group of weapons that would stand out from the past, and each country embarked on its manufacture with all the remaining power.

Sometimes the reason for this was the crisis on the continent, but pure confrontation was the main thing.

Myself who has had better technology than anyone else and has continued to develop.

I wanted to win the existence of the weapon that I built with a single touch of armor.

That's how it was made: brilliant Jade Dragon, the last weapon group of earlier civilizations such as the Throne.

They were undoubtedly the strongest and would have changed history dramatically if they had been made before the battle against the “incarnation”.

But still no match for "incarnation”.

The Brilliant Jade Dragon lost the battle against the "incarnation” and the throne did not run due to the trouble of not being able to activate due to the dimension of the energy line.

Thus, earlier periods of civilization are doomed in the battle against “incarnation”.

But after the defeat of the last weapon… there exists a weapon that continued to be made after civilization was destroyed.

That's the showdown weapon for the incarnation.

It is a weapon that counteracts “incarnation” by analyzing, reproducing and mounting “incarnation” capabilities in line with the concept.

However, these were the basic design and manufacturing systems handled by Flagman, but the rest were auto-developed.

Because Fragman himself was prepared to die before the onslaught of “incarnation”.

Therefore, I left behind a weapon that would continue to develop even after my death.

Someday, to defeat the Incarnate.

Sleeping in the territory of the former Zweier Empire, Showdown Weapon III [Acra Vaster] is one of them.

The basic design and concepts, the analysis to the halfway point, and the naming were done by Flagman himself, and then created by his automatic machines.

That's as good as any other showdown weapon, but this [Acra Vaster] has only one characteristic.

That it was designed specifically to counter certain “incarnations”.

The subject is - "The Incarnation of the Beast".

Heterogeneous child...... encountering a flagman who is not an exaggeration to say foreign objects of the world, who has recognized the talents of the flagman more than anyone else in the nation of the continent and who has treated him like a family from his heart, the "incarnation", the revenge of King Wolfgang.

Only [Acra Vaster] had on board not only the antagonism to the “incarnation” and the hope of the future, but also the feelings of Flagman as a human being.

□ ■ Carcellatan and urban exterior edges

Having finished the descent [Accra] was now continuing south at normal travel speeds.

[Acra] 's half-body [Vaster] follows over the sky.

[Vaster], an aerial battleship, should be much faster at travel speeds, but the speed at which both aircraft travel is no different.

That's because [Vaster] is on pace because of his two-in-one nature.

It should be noted that although it travels through an enlarged space three hundred times, it is not so when it comes to whether [Vaster] himself has to travel three hundred times.

Since "Space Dilution" is centered around [Vaster], the movement of [Vaster] remains unchanged before and after "Space Dilution".

Also, at normal times, [Vaster] travels a long distance in a way that [Akra] clings to the opposite of when he marches out of the mountains.

But now there are many “incarnate” reactions, albeit microscopic, and because the "space dilution" cannot be lifted, it is still moving in formation during combat.

"-" Incarnate ”reaction, detection"

That's when [Vaster] captured the “incarnation” reaction approaching himself.

[Vaster] 's ability to defy enemies, which can be easily explored from Kalcherathan to Gideon, can also detect opponents through 300,000 Meters of Spatial Dilution.

In the first place, we cannot otherwise use laser cannons as interception weapons. The high level of enemy capability was inevitable.

On the other hand, they took most of the output and payload to the laser cannon and enemy device, as well as the Mutual Complementary Repair Function and Space Dilution, so no weapons other than the laser cannon could be loaded and the body's defense performance was not high.

A flawed aircraft with fragile strength when viewed as a single aerial battleship, but no problem.

No matter how much it is destroyed, [Vaster] is also indestructible as long as [Acra] is present.

"- Target, fast and approaching"

[Vaster] 's enemy system continues to capture the exact position of the approaching enemy.

The enemy has attacked in the direction of...

□ Enough ago [Brilliant Cavalry] Ray Sterling

Azrite swore to me that I would defeat the whales in the air, and we split.

Tom seems to turn to Azrite's support, too, so all that's left now is me and Nemesis, and that and Silver.

"So Ray. Is the means of defeating the Lord's mind that skill of [Black Wrap Set]?

"Oh."

Nodding at Nemesis's inquiry, I flip [Black Wrap].

Swallow light in "Light Absorption" and accumulate its energy [Black Wrap].

And releasing the stored energy is that skill used by the original [Black Sky Dead Monochrome]... it would be a huge laser ray.

If there is, I can probably drop the whale.

"Hmm, that's a good compatibility indeed. All you have to do is let me shoot that laser and suck it and accumulate it. And as the Lord said, lasers can't attenuate their power at a distance, so it doesn't matter how far they're going."

"That's not true. We need to get close to him."

"What?

I corrected the most important part of what Nemesis said.

"The distance between us and him is terribly open. If it doesn't work at all, it flies away in a completely different direction. So... at least we need to get close to where he can see us."

Tom's story, experienced, said that the whale was surrounded by different spaces, far from looking at the ground or the sky.

Even Tom's estimate, hundreds of thousands of meters away.

The first challenge is to get that crazy space that far away from him.

"The vacuum is handled by compressing the air with" wind hooves "in silver in advance. Although the MP of [Purple Grievance A] is not enough to operate a wind and hoof bomb or" Princess ", it can keep a significant amount of air compressed."

It's like a space suit, if you ask me.

"Rather than a vacuum, it's more a question of whether we can cover the laser of the interception with a [black entanglement] and black circle shield"

"That's true, too. Ray, the Lord's plan has its faults."

"Cons?"

"He said he would let Silver compress the air in advance, but that's finite too. If you use it to move, it'll poke you right to the bottom, too. Silver aerial driving doesn't work properly in a vacuum. Even in [monochrome], you couldn't run on the way."

"Oh. That's why I won't let you run"

"Nooo?

To my mind, Nemesis makes a difficult face.

"Look, nemesis. This time, it's not a fight to go after someone who keeps rising at supersonic speeds like a fight against [monochrome]"

The obstacle at that time was that the opponent kept moving to far heights.

By contrast, how about that whale?

"There could indeed be a vacuum of hundreds of thousands of meters between us and him. Still, he's around a thousand meters (...) tall (...)"

"Hundreds of thousands of meters is a thousand meters?

"The only thing that's crazy about distance is the boundaries around him, and it hasn't affected him outside of it"

It's a difficult state to understand under normal law, but his altitude is hundreds of thousands of meters, at the same time, only a thousand meters.

So I can use a hand that I couldn't use when [monochrome].

"... Ray, Lord, what are you doing?

I'll give it back with a grin, too, to the pulled grin of Nemesis, who would have half-answered it.

Yes, my answer is simple.

It's a terribly easy way to get to a whale without draining air on silver travel and much faster than that.

The way...

"- Hundreds of thousands of meters directly above him. You just have to fall free (...)"

Because it's exactly the same as a whale attack.

◆ ◇ ◆

□ ■ Carcellatan, urban outer edge and above

"- Enemy, sudden descent from just above (...)"

[Vaster] 's enemy system, and optical sensors were capturing black chunks falling directly from the top - rays and silver.

"- Interception"

[Vaster] activates and targets the upper laser cannon against the Rays, who are gradually accelerating due to a free fall in vacuum.

The Rays, who are completely positioned by the Sovereign System, are inevitable.

But...

"- Effective, unacceptable"

All lasers are black - swallowed by [black entanglement] covering silver.

Dozens of lasers are absorbed without exerting any power.

Being taken upwards was naturally envisaged as a blind spot for [Vaster].

I was supposed to cover that blind spot with a parasol outfit... but I hadn't had enough hate and development time for a thousand years or so.

But even without it, you could normally have shot it down with a concentrated laser fire.

The problem is, if the laser didn't work.

When [Vaster] 's artificial intelligence begins the operation to deal with cases that have happened in reality….

- Enemy, appear.

Such information was shared from [Acra] on the ground.

◆ ◇ ◆

□ ■ Carcellatan, urban outer edge,

"- Enemy, Appear"

Nine humans stood in front of [Accra], who was continuing south.

"Are you sure you want to do this alone? And you're okay with taking it off to the mask?

"... Yeah, it's a decision I've already made. And about this face... you must have noticed?

"That's right.... I don't realize, Ray, you're weird, right?

"Phew, I really think so"

The eight of them are Tom, who [Accra] also already has experience in combat.

They left one, not Tom, scattered in pieces.

The last person left to do so had no data in [Accra] 's log.

"-" Incarnate ”reaction, none"

The last one is not an incarnation.

However, [Acra Vaster] has already stipulated that “incarnation” is to be considered regardless of human harm.

Therefore, regardless of whether you are just a human being or not, there is no choice but to kick ass if you hold back the advance.

"- Keep up the speed, move forward"

Just move on.

That's [Accra] the only and absolute weapon.

The absolute defense gained by Spatial Fixation is synonymous with the body that never "smashes" when hit.

Whatever it may be, this strength cannot be exceeded.

Before the progression of [Acra] calling for death, Azrite does not move a single step.

I just grabbed [Job Crystal] in my hand,

"Job Change - [■ ■ ■]"

With words, crush the crystal.

Thus, [Akra] 's twisted spine-like legs run through the ground, involving the thin body of the azurite that was on the path and tearing it apart -

"Sword Drawing (Release)"

- I thought so.

――

Azrite continues to stand after [Acra] 's giant passes.

Even though he seemed to have been caught in the legs of absolute strength now, his hair wasn't even disturbed.

Her difference is just one thing.

A pale sword in my hand - shining.

"- Re-attack,... Error"

Understanding his own attack failure, [Accra] changes its orbit and turns back to Azrite.

But that can't be achieved.

The moment I try to flip...... a few legs expose the cross section and peel off its body and fall.

"- Confirmation of damage, commencement of repair"

[Acra], the machine, is also not upset that the "never to be broken” defense has been broken.

Just mechanically, fix that foot with the Reciprocal Repair feature.

But that's...

"- Repair, impossible (...)"

It was never going to happen again (...).

"The wound is the beginning."

Azrite says quietly, with his legs, which are supposed to be indestructible, being protected by Spatial Fixation, turned his back on [Acra], where the restorative function, which is supposed to be fully repaired, is not activated.

"That wound didn't make you miss you, it was you with a missing leg that became the" beginning ”one (...)"

That's why I can't fix it anymore.

The repair function should be in [Vaster], not [Acra], but even transcend it and carve the wound... No, "I re-carved the" beginning, "Azrite says.

"Nothing you can't say no to this pale blade.

Nothing can heal that slash.

This is the blade that carves the inevitable “beginning," … yes "

When Azrite slowly waves his sword as he speaks, the space rips open where nothing is supposed to go as the sword flashes.

The sharpness outside that common sense is who Azrite's blade is.

That is,

"- [Original Holy Sword Alter] slashes and engraves all of you (...)"

A non-standard relic alongside the [throne] of Drife, making it the greatest treasure of the Kingdom of Alter.

The most powerful sword of the founding legend, supposedly wielded by the first king of the Kingdom of Alter.

Turn it into a sword - < Irregular (...) >.

"- [Original Holy Sword Alter], data available.

- User, no data '

There is also a record of [Alter] in the database that I took over from civilization in the previous period.

Naturally, however, there is no data on contemporary users.

Thus emits an audio similar to [Acra] 's question, and Azrite answers it.

"I am [the original Holy Sword Alter] in my hand, the one who leads with them and resists the power that threatens the kingdom"

The word is a statement of her will and determination.

The words that follow prove that she is the only person on this earth who is sufficient to wield [Alter].

"I am the First Princess of the Kingdom of Alter - [Sacred Sword Princess" Sacrid Princess "] Ultimia A (Azrite) Alter"

That is the name of those who will inherit the Kingdom of Alter, which bears [Alter] by its name.

Azrite - [Princess Holy Sword] Ultimia sees [Acra] with her eyes no longer hidden by a mask.

Speak up as you face [Acra], who rises with his remaining legs.

"This name and duty, my will, will not forgive what hurts the people of the kingdom"

Turning the tip of the pale blade towards [Acra] - she declares with an invincible grin.

- Are you ready?
