Instant Death

Back home, Theon headed to the room he was using for the meeting.

Not everyone gathers together directly, but each of them projects a figure and meets simultaneously.

Therefore, there is no way to know where their body is. Basically, the sages didn't know where each of them was.

As Theon used his projection technique, the figure of the sages appeared in the room.

Aoi, Alice, Yoshifumi, and Van. Others didn't get together as actively as usual, so it was their usual face.

Liza is the type not to show her face at the rally, but even if she wants to come, she won't be able to do it now. After all, the night fog is killing limbs and vital organs, so it's impossible to communicate when you participate.

"What do you mean, this?"

Yoshifumi questioned Van, but there was no domination there. The usual Yoshifumi would be flying with a mighty groan.

"When I stopped playing in the sky, Seira fell." I was inadvertent. "

"By accident, you..."

Yoshifumi was dumbfounded. Yoshifumi is a bit of a mess, but there are parts that restrict unconsciously. It doesn't even affect the whole world.

Can't you seal Seila in the game again?

Theon asked. That should be the fastest way to do it. It has been sealed so far, so you can do the same.

"My participation in the game requires the player's consent. When I sealed up the Forking Dam, I was barely conscious before Seira grew. Moreover, I was willing not to cause trouble to my surroundings, so I was able to obtain consent. However, Seira doesn't know herself anymore. And I can't agree with everything that's been added too much."

"It's another human resources thing, huh?"

"I feel responsible even for this." That's why we made it possible for anyone who wished to participate in the game. Because we're going to choose more carefully. ”

Isn't Grandpa going to take care of it?

"You haven't decided yet that the world will perish, have you?" If it's about to perish, it might be a good stimulus for Grandpa as well. "

Isn't Seira a weak spot?

"Hmm. You guys aren't strong enough to bother me, are you?" I just don't want to die, so maybe I can put it somewhere. Falling from the sky will calm down soon enough, so you just need to secure a safe place. ”

"Isn't that the problem?" We are very annoyed. I wonder if there's anything to apologize for? "

Alice herself is the type who is stuck in the realm she created, so she shouldn't be harmed so much, but as expected, she will want to complain about one thing when the environment around the world changes drastically.

"So you guys are going to join the game?" It's safe inside, isn't it? "

"You're not going, you son of a bitch!"

If you join Van's game, you won't be able to escape Van's rules, even if you're a wise man.

I can't trust the same sage, and I can't leave everything to Van to say that the world was inadvertently causing a situation that could perish.

"Don't play, don't say shit." Certainly, there were a lot of things wrong with the Forking Dam. I'll admit it. That's why this game is different. Based on my reflections, the Underground Quest was oriented towards a simpler, more intelligible design. Besides, I left the detailed settings to Shiloh. That's what he's good at. "

I thought there was no soundtrack to Shiloh at all, but were you in the underground quest game from this point on?

Sage Shiloh, a young man with the skin of a researcher in charge of the Zabora region.

Theon is more or less attentive to the trends of other wise men, but from a certain time on, Shiloh's whereabouts became almost unknown.

"Yeah. He's working as a submaster." I'm sure Grandpa will be pleased this time. So this gathering means you want to complain to me? I'm sorry about that. I'm sorry. "

Van apologized reluctantly. You didn't like the shitty call, did you? You looked a little grumpy.

“Did Shiloh agree to participate in your game?”

"I wonder if it's different from joining. I'm not a player because I'm a submaster. He manages the resources. I've been asked to allocate resources and set up object details."

In other words, Shiloh isn't in the game with Van taking control of his life.

"So, this gathering is hosted by Aoi, right?" You don't mean you just want to complain to Van, do you? "

Alice asked.

"Oh, it's about the distant night fog." I want to talk about him. "

"Shit! That's him."

"Ahh... that girl..."

"I think you were a lot impatient when I met you before, but is it okay to talk about it?"

"I didn't experience it in person now, did I?"

I hear that the brain may undergo organic changes due to trauma. The brain is in its original state because the current aoi was before it met the night fog. Even if you have memories, your real feelings may be fading.

"Everyone knows that my power as a wise man is the [Eye of the Hero], right?"

"Ah, that's what happened." If I see it, the enemy dies? "

“No, I can see the flow of destiny.”

There were two main forces of Aoi. "The Eye of Hero Killing" and "A cruel world where only hard work is rewarded."

"Eye of the Hero" is the power to see fate. "A cruel world where only hard work is rewarded" is the ability to involve the other person in his own world and modify events as Aoi believes.

With its mighty power, Aoi had the role of a killer who had the power of a wise man but not a wise man.

"We talked about killing at the rally." But that night fog guy showed up in front of me, so Aoi failed? "

Sage Santa Rowe is dead, and it is possible that the night fog is involved in Rain's disappearance.

It was just a candidate for a wise man summoned by Theon, but if there was anything to do with it, it was decided at the rally to kill him, and Aoi moved to deal with the faraway night fog.

"That's right, I failed. I saw it with my own eyes. That's the end of the world, the end of destiny. No one can beat that. You shouldn't do anything more than that!"

”Ahh... I see... we should leave that alone already”

Yoshifumi, who normally would not vomit such a weak line, said powerlessly.

“That's why I have a suggestion. I heard from Theon that the Faraway Night Fog was trying to collect the Wise Man's Stone and return to the original world with its power. So, let's give him the Stone of the Wise Man and let him go home. It's very bad to keep it in this world!”

Theon has already met Aoi since he became Part 2. I was wondering how honestly she gave me the stone of a wise man, but she also seemed to have an idea.

"I can give it to you." I'm in the Imperial Castle, so you can pick it up. "

Yoshifumi had a somewhat optimistic atmosphere. I don't think he wants to get involved in the night fog anymore.

"Well, I'll go." Now I am the point of contact with Takayo-san. What about Alice? "

Huh? I'm not as strong as you are, so I'm a little embarrassed if I don't have Sage Stones!

The Sage's Stone is a vast source of energy that empowers the Sage.

But it's not as necessary for a wise man who's become stronger than he should be.

"Well then, I'll tell Takayo-san so." It's hard for me to betray my family, but if Takayo-san threatens me, I may tell you where Alice-san is... "

Controversy among the wise is forbidden by the great wise, but not by the intercession of others. But since Theon doesn't know exactly where Alice is, this was just a bluff.

"Huh!? Hmm... I can't help it..."

I hated it, but Alice also agreed to transfer the Sage's Stone.

In Part 1, someone with the night fog snatched the Stone of the Sage from Alice. Maybe I didn't want to see the same thing again.

"I'd like you to provide me with a Stone of Van's Sage." You don't care about the Stone of the Wise Man, do you? "

Aoi asks Van.

Hmmm. It doesn't matter if you say it doesn't matter. I'll take care of the rest, so there's no problem if I give it to you, but why should I give it to someone I don't know?

“If it's true, it's just death. You are laughing at the distant night fog. [M] If he cares about it, you will sink into eternal darkness with nothing you can do."

“As far as we know, he can instantly kill any subject, and it doesn't matter how far away it is. And because I can sense the intent to kill, I can't even kill with a first strike."

This explanation alone will make it difficult to convey the true threat of the night fog.

If you have the strength, you can revive it with your Immediate Death Disable, or you can take action against an Immediate Death Attack.

Even when it comes to killing intent sensing, you can think of it as an unavoidable speed attack, or you can just get involved in an unavoidable range of attacks.

Even if you explain that they are useless, people who have never experienced the power of night fog can't really feel it, and they think they can do something about it.

The same was true of the former Theon. I never thought that I might lose.

"Hmm. To be honest, I can't believe there's such a strong guy." I wonder if there's anything between Theon and Aoi, but let's just swallow it... Let's do this. I'll have Takayo take part in my game. [M] That's where I try to identify him. "

"It's not the time to play!" Night fog is a disaster! In fact, even with the power of the Great Sage, the effects of the faraway night fog cannot be ruled out! You should calmly get rid of this world in a way that doesn't hurt your mood! "

Aoi changed his blood and stuck it in Van.

"I'll just wait and see how it goes." Or is he so useless to ask questions? "

I met Takayo-san earlier, but he didn't seem very interested in Van's game.

"Ah! Then I'll keep the Sage Stone in my rewards for completing the Underground Quest." You don't have a problem with this, do you? If he can clear the game, he can get stones and he leaves this world. If you can't finish the game, you're just a guy, not a threat. What do you say, he has to join us, right? "

"I understand." I'll make sure to let you know. ”

Thinking that it had become a hassle, Theon wondered if this was a bad idea.

Escaping and hiding is the most troublesome thing. In this situation, at least Van's stones are clearly located and available.

Van is a proper person, but the rules he has set are strictly enforced.

"... All right, but promise to add all the stones you have to your completion rewards." I can't trust you with your word of mouth. "

Aoi showed a reluctant but receptive attitude.

Huh? I don't feel so trustworthy, do I?

"Hey, man, I think we're in progress and we're doing something about it."

"Okay, I wonder if Aoi will come to me later." I'll go with you where I keep the stones and set it as a reward on the spot. "

"Let's go now without saying later." It's about Van. If you put aside time, you might forget it, right? "

"No." It's hard to say. I can't help it.

Van basically doesn't lie. But sometimes you accidentally forget your promises, and sometimes you get in trouble.

Van and Aoi disappeared. I left the meeting.

If the Sage Stone has been added to your rewards, you'll hear from Aoi.

Well then, is it okay to open up?

"Yes. Ah! Do you have any idea where Akemi and Gorozaburo are?"

You can't just go home. Theon thought of collecting the rest of the Wise Man's stones.
