Instant Death

Kensei walks out of the square to the woods. Those who were in the square rushed around about after Kensei.

The night fog is sloppily walking at the rear of the group.

I guess I should show the temper to follow anything if I'm going for Kensei. But it was just a hassle for the night fog that didn't matter, such as Kensei.

There is naturally Chichichika next to the mist at night. Next to it is a long-time young man with an apology stone and a dot. Further next door was a swordsman in silver armor walking. The dragon girl is walking a little further to lead the unmotivated night fog.

"I've been unlucky for a long time. As strange as it is that I was able to live to high school. You can't count how many times you've been stuck in a car. So much so that they called you Hitter Shin. I didn't get any compensation, but it's not like I make any money. You'll miss your parents."

An apologetic stone youth was speaking to Chichika. Was it because you got help, or was strangely intimate.

"In the end, I was caught by cult religion, sacrificed for rituals, and I died."

"That was a disaster."

"So now I get an apology stone."

"You talk too much!

If he thought anything was dead, a woman named God appeared and was grounded. And it seems that his ordeal will continue even when he is reborn, and he has given him an item called the Star Crystal as a complement.

"But is such a godlike being something that shapes a person's destiny?

Chichika spoke with Bozuri next door.

All I can say is, "By people. As some are protected by guardian spirits like me, others have decided their fate with God. '

Neither the ghost nor this one answers that. Neither did this one look like the others.

"You're talking about being able to chatter with that apologetic stone, right? Uh, for that..."

Rude remark, Chichika didn't seem to suppress her curiosity.

"Oh, you're supposed to be getting awesome items in the chatter, your buddies, why did they do it! I told you I was very unlucky."

"Oh, I kind of get it..."

I mean, I guess a lot of stuff didn't come out.

"So now I'm for an apology stone! If you're a dozen chaps, you have the lowest coverage for rarity!

"Good luck with that"

Chichika didn't seem to know how to react to the mysterious system of chatter etc.

"Well. Isn't it a shame we don't even know each other's names when we say we've known each other this way?

Where there's a paragraph in the story, a silver swordsman has suggested we name each other.

It's been like a quintuple at some point, and I had no objection to everyone.

"You start with me. There are a lot of things you might think about, but wouldn't you just keep Rick here?

Silver Swordsman, Rick showed a subtle glance.

"I don't know if they tell me like celebrities are being nice to you!?"

I have trouble knowing and being told as a matter of course. Chichika reacted like that, but Rick didn't seem to care.

"I say Rhineal. I wasn't that interested in becoming a sword saint, but my friends forced me to invite you..."

A little young man, Rhineal, puts his head to sorrow.

"Where's my friend gone?

"Maybe you just went first thinking you were dead..."

Anyway, he was a seemingly blessed young man.

"Non is Attila. He's the one who's rooting around here."

Says the dragon girl. It didn't seem like he was going to reveal who he was.

"I'm a high night fog. I got caught up just passing through."

"My name is Chika Tanopurachi. I was on my way to Wang Du, but I got caught up."

I finished introducing myself as a whole. And when I realized, there was no one around.

"Hmm? Could they have left you? Then you don't have to go anymore."

Night fog gave up lightly.

"Wait a minute! Here! You just have to go first from here!

Attila stops and points a little further. But there was just a forest going on there, too, and there was no sign of people.

"Nothing, though?

"There's a line here. You can't look inside."

Sure, it's odd that so many queues disappear neglectfully without any indication. Then I proceeded to wonder if that was the case, and Attila stayed still.

"Non can't go first from here."

"What are you going to do about your guide to Wang Du?

"When you're done, you can call the name of Non. Then, by the way, let's reveal ourselves."

Put Atila down and the four moved on.

Crossing boundaries.

At that moment, the tower suddenly appeared.

"To?"

Chichika looked distracted. No one else has been able to hide their surprises in the presence of a standing tower.

The air was changing.

There is no difference in scenery outside the tower. However, I felt the cold air stinging my skin at night.

The queue ahead was showing itself again. It's headed for the tower, naturally. I guess that's the destination.

'Hey! Get out of here now! I don't care about Kensei or anything!

One, and all, this surprise was the only thing that changed the way things looked. It's like I'm in a deep panic.

"What's wrong? Sure, I was surprised, but there's just a tower, right?

'That's not what I meant! You don't realize! This is so intense! Ahead! Something evil is ahead of us!

Chichika looks around for a moment, but I guess she doesn't feel anything.

But the night fog was sensing signs of death drifting around. The sun seemed to be shading.

"Oops!

"Mr. Rainier!?"

As soon as Rhineal was ready, he began to fold his body and puke.

There are people who are similarly vomiting or falling if you look around.

"You've been distracted."

I don't know what I'm talking about.

"The Lord preserves me, I wonder what the lad will do."

"Are you angry? In my case, it doesn't have an impact to this extent, but Mr. Reinell seems to be comfortable with it."

Looking at what was wrong, Reinir's body glowed.

"Ugh, thanks to the apology stone, it helped!

"So nauseating, is it something you can use? That!?"

"But I can't move if I keep doing this."

The whole apologetic stone thing is unknown, but Reinir seemed to have gained some resistance to temper.

"So, what do we do? It's a suspicious atmosphere, and Kosan says," Oh. "

Chichika confirms to the mist at night.

"Surely there have been signs of death since you've slipped out of the juncture and doings. It looks a little shady in my eyes around here."

But it's not pressing, it's subtle enough to turn back.

When it comes to turning back, it will sag the canyon again. I would have no choice but to repeat the same thing without any help. That shouldn't be long since there's nothing else I can do.

"Well, I guess it's okay. I'm not in danger right now."

'Well, it's about the Lord. I don't know what I can do, but I need you to pay close attention.'

"What's wrong?

"Oh, I'm just surprised. You just have to go to the tower."

Rick asked, but the night fog cluttered and moved on.

It was a circular tower.

It's about fifty meters in diameter. The tip was not visible as the fog looked up at night. It would be quite high.

The huge door stays open, so we follow the queue inside.

It was a killer landscape place, and soon there was another door. I see Kensei and many others in it.

"Give it to me. I'll leave you."

"It doesn't matter."

The Night Mist is further inside, as Kensei complains.

Then the door closed on its own and the room began to shake with rattles and loud noises.

This room was elevated and seemed to be headed up.

From the roof there was a view of the canyon.

A world of dry soil and rocks that goes on everywhere. I guess the only exception is the green around the tower.

Kensei goes to the edge of the roof and points down. Those who followed witnessed a different sight.

The canyon is smooth.

It reminded me of a spherical space about ten kilometres in diameter. The whole thing that was there disappeared. Looks that way.

And its center.

Chichichika, with her similarly sighted sight, saw two figures in the center of that space.

Am I in the middle of a fight? But there was no movement there, and something hardened like a statue was floating in the universe.

"This is the end of the world. Whenever this world ends, it's not strange, it's at a critical point. There is no such thing as Kensei. It's just their watch."

"I know all about that!

Out of the group, a girl in flashy clothes came out a step back.

"Because I've come here to put an end to a thousand years of fighting against demons!

"Well, that's very prestigious."

"Your role ends with today! You should have a peaceful afterlife in the future!

A girl raises one hand.

The surroundings were deflected by the heat generated as soon as possible.

It is the heat emitted by the light sphere that appeared in the space above the point where the girl's palms point.

Even Chichika, who knows so little about magic, easily figured out that it contained energy up to awesome. The sparkling light sphere was like a small sun.

A girl waves one hand down.

The light bulb disappeared after a moment of delay. They were ejected at high speeds towards the junction.

The girl was proud to win. I guess you're sure of the victory. Chichika also thinks that if you do eat that, you shouldn't be safe as to what it might be.

But the anomaly came the moment the photosphere touched the junction.

The speed of the light bulb dropped visibly.

The light sphere, which also lost its cursory shadow, eventually stopped the movement.

"Yes?"

The girl had a pompous face. I guess I can't believe the phenomenon I saw.

"Sounds like it's getting late in the junction. They say the more you go inside, the slower it gets. It seems that something in the center has almost stopped. So I guess it'll be hundreds of years before it arrives, so I don't think I can afford to spend the rest of my life."

Said Kensei as a tease.

"I'm supposed to show you this junction once and for all. Did you see that? Then it's a continuation of selection. I'll wait on the first floor of the tower, so come down. But I can't use the elevator, so do something about it."

Kensei boards the elevator and the door closes. I went down. I guess that won't come back.

The Kensei candidates behave differently.

The majority of people acted quickly, but some did nothing, and others remained staring at the juncture.

"Um, the friend who invited me is the girl who just used magic..."

The girl still stood on her feet. He hasn't been able to get out of the state of relaxation.

"Don't you have to go?

"Hey, I'm scared... I'll do what I can when I get my sanity back..."

Rick urged, Reinir replied with a frightened voice.

"I wasn't sure what that kid was doing here, but he said demon gods and stuff, right? Is he over there?

"Right. A thousand years ago, there was a battle that rocked the world in this land."

I hear Rick knows about the demon gods. But Chichika had more to worry about than that.

"Hey, Takahiro..."

You can kill a demon, right? Chichika immediately shut her mouth trying to say so.

- You have no reason to kill me, do you? Or so you're going to say.

At the moment, we have no idea who the demon god is. It would be too early to kill just because it seems somehow evil. Chichika, who ran ahead, reflected and saw the night fog.

Night fog looked like it at first.

"What's going on?

Chichika snapped her neck. It's a nocturnal fog reaction that never happens.

"Maybe a demon god? I accidentally killed him because of his temper over there."

"... Yes?

The night fog was pointing to the center of the junction.

"I feel like it first. I'm sorry."

Rick tells a mysterious story about the millennial battle between the Demon God and the Holy King.

I followed you. It was a hard atmosphere to say.
