□ [Armored Pilot] Hugo Receps

Even after correspondence with our master, we were looking for those two… [Murder Princess] and his companions.

I also know about the [Murder Princess] being wanted.

Before visiting Cardina, I even heard it many times when I was in the Triangle of Wisdom.

To be honest, I'm half-hearted about whether that kid is that [murdering princess].

Because that kid was a little young, but he looked like a normal kid.

But you have to act.

In case she was a [murder princess], it could be irrevocable.

"Cuco, do you feel anything?

"Mmm. He's not here."

Cuco can sensibly see the number of fellow creatures crusading around him… within the deployable range of Hellgate.

So I'd be changing my appearance and status. It's a great way to find that kid, but this cortana is so vast in the first place.

It's a donut-shaped city because of the large lake in the center, but based on that, it has a large area.

Cuco's range of detection is also like a dot compared to the size of the city.

"As long as it takes in this town... from after me, no"

Ah...... I am a little depressed.

"as if it were a real-life Hugo plump"

But she still had the energy to spit out her poisonous tongue.

... It's not tiny. I'm just going to grow up.

"Horns on the rabbit, now we have to look for lice. It's too late for something to happen."

"Yeah. Leave Hugo alone, and all the things he calls me from over there"

"... indeed"

The other side looks at me and my master's face.

If the master realizes he is part of Sephiroto, there is also the possibility of ambushing him from there.

I'm not going around [White Rose] because it's all over the city, but let's just get ready to get it out of the Immediate Release item box.

◇

That's how we continue our search throughout the city for dozens more minutes.

We entered the bazaar where people do business while carpeting the pavement.

If you look at it, some people deal in large products, and in the distance you can see monsters in large cages.

I moved to a less crowded alley to avoid being flushed by people's waves.

In that case,

"Hmm? I saw Maiden somewhere."

Someone called me.

I'll look around, but there was no one pointed this way anywhere.

"... by whom?

I mean Maiden. Probably Cuco, but I have one question.

Cuco now applies the "Seal Disguise," as he did when he first met Ray, as an informational response to the [Murder Princess] side.

On top of that I'm referring to Cuco as Maiden.

If I think of it in conjunction with the phrase 'Maiden I saw somewhere', do I know him?

But nowhere does he look around but he looks familiar......

"... the concubine will also be hurt by this vegan, unaware reaction?

"Hugo, I did"

"Huh?"

I'm told, I'll lower my gaze.

Then I saw purple hair in the lower position than my dovetail now.

Apparently, the person who spoke was too short to be in sight.

... I set this avatar a lot taller than real, so you have a higher gaze, too.

"If you call out to the person you see, you can't possibly be demeaned as a 'dodgy'... The concubine is sad..."

The little girl, smaller than Cuco with purple hair, said so and covered her face.

I can't see my face because of it, I can only see an ancient Greek style dress with a small body and shoulders out. The dress is the same purple color as the hair.

But with that 'purple' thing...... past memories dug back.

"... you, Persepone?

"Oh? Did you remember the concubine? So I never talked directly to each other at the conference or at the lab, so I was actually a little nervous... but I have a good memory!

That's what I said. She - stretched her back - slapped her pom pom and my shoulder to praise.

"Well, the concubines had been told a lot by Franklin," I'm a newcomer to expectations, I'm the same Maiden's Master as my husband "! Are you glad your name was Hugo and Cooko?

"... I am Cuco"

"Wrong! I'm so sorry!

"Fine. It looks like a colored leopard from Murasaki, so I'm sure it's just enough for now. Loose."

"This is the first time I've talked to him, but isn't it too poisonous?!?"

... Set aside Cuco's poisonous tongue, I know her.

Her name is Persepone, just like Cuco is Maiden's.

And what she calls her husband is... her < master >.

It's [Pluto] Benetnache, who used to do collaborative research with his sister.

"Does the lord of the Triangle of Wisdom stay in Cardina even on his journey?

"That's the place... but it means I have you"

"Mm-hmm. Whether your husband is in this city or not. Oh, now he's engaged with a ride at the mayor's residence. Looks like you're fighting a pale airframe."

……!?

She closed one eye and casually said that.

If her words are true, it will mean that her master is now engaged with [Pluto] Benetnache.

I think about how that happened, and I think about what my master was talking about at the cafe.

"This cortana has... to get the beads?

"You know very well. No? If they're looking for you, just like your husband? That's an odd encounter!

The master said, Moving for the beads.

I can't believe that one of them was that [Pluto]......

"Why, Cortana beads...?

"Oh. That's something called your husband's private. I can't tell you the details. But let me give you an overview."

"Huh?"

"If I tell you, I'm looking for something that won't come true. I'm looking for something that can (...) do something about the impossible that my husband is trying to do. The best candidate is the concubine herself."

…………

Persephone's words are abstract and I don't know the details.

But there's one thing I can tell.

Persepone is the seventh form.

[Pluto] Benetnache is trying to do what it will not be able to do unless it becomes the eighth form, which is not even confirmed to exist, which is the next level......

I mean I'm in the middle of taking it away from my master now because I might be able to do that with this' giving new eternal raw 'bead of Cortana.

"As a concubine, I want you to concentrate on your destiny, not a stopover that's only such hard work... And if it comes true there will be no concubine standing."

"... oh. So what?"

To Persepone's words, Cuco said so as if he was good at something.

"So you haven't been with AR-I CA?"

"The very act of searching for beads is more than that. My concubine is in a great boycott!

... Apparently, Persepone doesn't care about the bead hunt itself and is walking alone leaving < master > dedicated to the bead hunt.

A part of it is that I spoke about the purpose of my Master, albeit an overview.

Wouldn't this Persephone run too far, though Gardner, close to Maiden and people, says he moves of his own free will?

"Speaking of which, your husband was fighting for a ride. Are you one of them?

"... if you say yes"

"I pray you take the beads from my husband! I don't want to leave you beside my husband because you're in the way of something like that, and I don't feel right!

... I've never seen Embrio pray for his defeat.

But what does it mean to feel bad?

"Therefore, the concubine is unaware of the battle there.... so don't put your hands on the concubine!

...... yeah?

"Don't let them defeat your concubine by saying," Cover your people "and so on!

Oh, is it possible that we might act like that?

Persephone is Benetnache's Embrio, and even if he's not helping now, it's not always the same when he's pushed to the brink of a death penalty.

There is indeed an option to 'keep it down to increase the Master's chances of winning'.

"Hey, what, those eyes! I tell you, my concubine is weak! You're low enough to make a junior Gardner cry like that! So don't attack! That '... what are you talking about, you super embrio', stop looking like that!?"

... What are you talking about, you super embrio.

"Super Embrio is all strong and fantastic! Especially if the concubine and other art specializations are too weak! It's like Franklin's Pandemonium, the clan owner, saying," It's a monster factory! But just because you're big, you're strong enough to crush it! And I can do optical camouflage! 'What a greedy specification!

... I felt unspeakable about claiming harmlessness in the "I'm weak" appeal.

Something already, I even feel like leaving you alone.

Either way, when [Pluto] Benetnache is engaged with his master, he can't even leave him alone.

But there's also a search for [Murder Princess], and what's the matter...

"Hugo by the way"

Something, Cuco.

"Persephone. You're in a bit of a nemesis. It's tinier than nemesis, though. '

... Oh, that's what I was thinking a little too.

The appearance and behavior are similar to the extent that there are many similarities rather than unanimity.

Until then, I don't know why.

◇ ◆ ◇

□ ■ Commercial city Cortana/Mayoral residence

Fighting continued in the Mayor's Mansion when Hugo was meeting unexpected opponents.

Supersonic but lightly dancing through the universe [Blue Opera].

The shells and bombs pouring out of the sky had already transformed the garden of the mayor's residence into a battlefield trail.

But Benettonache is alive and well.

"Necro Aura, Necro Repair"

"This is the third time... I want to take the book for granted!

He is a former dragon king and is protected by Aragorn, who specializes in STR and END.

[Pluto] The fighting style of Benettonache is typical of Tank and Wizard.

A formation of defensive subjects with a benign undead, including Aragorn, as an avant-garde, with Benetnache himself using rear to undead dedicated buffs, debuffs to opponents, and attack magic.

Its defense is robust, and among the < super >, it is difficult for AR · I · CA, a category with low attack power.

Even after repeated attacks, Aragorn's HP can only be shredded in tiny amounts.

The damage is also healed by Necro Repair, a sustained healing buff, which is no damage at the moment.

On the contrary, however, Benetnache and Aragorn were unable to carry out any attacks.

'Yeah, it's a depressing attack.... my friend, the blade cannot be delivered'

"My magic is out of range too..."

Aragorn's attacks are physical attacks using his skeleton only.

I can make leaps, etc., but there is no way I can hit the [Blue Opera] flying freely in the sky with an AR-I CA that makes predictions of future hazards by Cassandra.

On the contrary, you will be despenalized for Benetnache in the gap that turned to attack.

And Benetnache, too, can't get the attack.

At least the curse system condition is abnormal. The magic class is out of range.

Other than that, Benettonache's usable hands include Deadly Explode, which explodes and burns resentment, the depths of [the high spiritualist] paired with Deadly Mixer, the depths of [the Great Necromancer].

That may arrive, but it is still likely to be avoided.

On the contrary, because that mayor had too much resentment for this mayor's mansion, this mayor's mansion itself resembles a gunpowder bank. The entire mansion is sure to blow up if you use it.

Conversely, with all that explosive power, you might be able to guess.

But even if we do not take into account the lives of the mayors who have murdered many human beings and have already stopped humans, we could not use those hands on Benetnache given the recovery of beads and the lives of servants in the mayoral residence.

"Well, there's been too much resentment here... so I'll have to burn it later in the day"

'Right. Intense resentment to the point of anomaly. If it was my resentment ceremony undead, it would have been affected'

Aragorn is undead, but not moving in resentment. It's a question of how to make it as an undead.

The necromancer lineage uses resentment or its own magic to arbitrarily create undead.

Once Hugo's relative [Great Necromancer] maize is the former using resentment, while Benetnache is the latter using magic.

Instead of being less burdensome on the part of the surgeon, the former is unable to make a rational undead and is also in danger of a runoff.

Instead of being burdened by the surgeon, the latter can create an undead that houses the will of the soul as it were in Aragorn.

The latter may or may not obey because they have free will. The disadvantage exists that it depends on the soul, but the undead of Benetnache, including Aragorn, has built a relationship of trust and has no worries about it.

The Undead Legion, which should also be described as a fellow Benetnache, is powerful, including its high combat skills.

But there's nothing in those undead... that can counteract [Blue Opera] here and now.

"After all, should those who can fly have also become members...... But Tenryu's ability to fly drops dramatically when they're undead... Except [Dragon Spirit], but I can't ride it."

Note that monster birds can fly with their ability to fly as is even when they are undead, but they are not on hand.

The reason is because Aragorn hates fur.

It seems that Grounddragon's weird bird haters won't heal when they die.

"If it weren't for Persephone and acting differently, I'd still be able to punch my hands..."

After arriving at Cortana, he said, 'Who would look for beads? -! Cheater!' I remember my own < Embrio >, who said and started acting differently, and Benetnache exhaled.

The war situation is completely glued.

AR · I · CA attacks are inhibited by Aragorn and do not reach.

Benetnache's attacks also do not reach the [Blue Opera] above.

To that situation, AR · I · CA sighs in the cockpit of [Blue Opera].

(Is he a thousand Japanese hands? It would be better than Carl's cheat defense, though)

It's not like we don't really have a hand in breaking through each other.

AR-I CA has Special Abilities that have broken the Thunderbolt Defense of [Thunderbolt Dungeon].

In contrast, the Benetnache side also has a trump card that can defeat AR · I · CA even in the absence of Persephone, which is Super Embrio.

But neither of us will cut that trump card yet.

There are two reasons.

Firstly, that we need to pay huge costs for each other's trump cards and not cut them off lightly.

Secondly, we must be vigilant about more enemies.

A huge force of [Pluto] and [Shooting Down King] has already attacked this mayor's mansion in search of beads.

Both of them were not stupid enough to have optimistic future expectations such as "there should be no more participants in the contest" in such circumstances.

Well, AR-I CA already knows [Murder Princess] exists.

(Well... what do you want?

If we keep going, it's Benetnache who has the minutes.

Magingear continues to drain MP in combat action due to its specifications.

Well, the use of AR-I CA when boarding a high-performance aircraft, [Blue Opera], and various skills are also active, is significant.

When it comes to AR-I CA, which has a huge MP as a pilot super position [King of Shooting Down], there are limits to combat time.

In contrast, Aragorn, Benetnache's power of war, is undead and no physical limits exist. The MP used for skills would also be much less than AR · I · CA.

Therefore, if we continue to fight for an hour or two, the war situation will naturally benefit Benetnache.

(We'll endure it until we're done. Ma, it's actually as sturdy as it can be. Is that... Dragon King per Ancient Epic Class is the material source.... Hu also made that kind of thing. Right. The contents are girls, but you liked dinosaurs and reptiles)

I miss my memories with my best friend, AR I. CA laughed furiously......

(Shh. I'm jilli poor as it is, and... it's a delivery, but I think I'll use it!

That's what I thought, and I took what was out of my jacket.

It was - the bead of [Thunderbeast Danguy] recovered from Zhang Funeral Qi in Hermine.

With the new owner's will, UBM freely manipulates the lightning.

Thunderlight runs through the pale armored surface of [Blue Opera], but that doesn't hurt [Blue Opera] itself in any way.

Eventually, the thunder light concentrated on [Blue Opera] 's erected rifle,

"BANG!"

With the ejection of the shell, a huge amount of thunder light was wrapped around the bullet.

A thunderous bullet rips open the space and lands a bullet in Aragorn.

……!!

"Ko, he...!!"

He was struck directly by a thunderbolt and one of Aragorn's ribs was smashed and scattered.

The power of [Thunder Beast Dungai] is a precision operable thunder light that can be used as both an armor and a weapon.

The AR-I CA had its thunderous bullets wrapped around it and was looking to raise the bottom of its power.

Its power is rising to the wrong digits, and until recently it will also have a clear scratch on Aragorn's robust skeleton, which played the bullet.

The thunder light was very effective for Aragorn.

Aragorn has become undead and gained powerful physical defenses and inexhaustible health, but has instead lost defensive skills such as Dragon King Qi, which he had in his lifetime, as well as attribute resistance to dragons.

Thus, a storm of bullets weaving thunderlights sharpens Aragorn's HP at a much faster pace than just bullets, which clearly outweighs the amount of recovery in Necro Repair.

In addition, the thunderlight is due to the [dunguy] in the beads, and AR · I · CA itself does not wear out with thunderlight.

"I feel signs of weak but ancient Epic classes over there. My friend, I'm sorry, but we can't wait for the enemy's magic to expire. '

Aragorn calmly analyzed the situation and told Benetnache that his own HP would run out before AR I. CA ran out of gas.

In response to that word, Benetnache nods after a few thoughts......

"... ok, I'll take care of it"

With the glue breakdown, he had decided to be ready to cut his own trump card before AR · I · CA.

"Because you can't use Persepone's special skills... use this"

Benettonache pulls the pendant he put on his neck out of his clothes.

It was shaped like a demon statue (gargoyle) with only the lower body, but made of strange metal.

It looks close to silver, but it's an inexplicably glossy metal that's exquisitely different.

'... you're gonna wake me up?

"I can definitely withstand her attacks. Move my guard over here and you can turn into an offensive."

"But my blade..."

"It's not an attack on her. I want you to follow the mayor and secure the beads. When you return, you will withdraw from the mayor's residence, rendezvous with Persepone throughout the city and escape Cortana."

"I see. I accepted."

"Well... here we go. - Wake up," Stand on the ground (Gray) "

When Benettonache tried to cut one of his trump cards,

"... Huh? Persepone?"

…… Yu? '

They receive readings from their companions at the same time,

- Shortly after, a scream boiled down somewhere in Cortana.

To be continued
