Instant Death

The tower appeared abruptly.

A short time ago, it was a building with a glimpse. It was not an illusion or the like, but stood with sufficient presence.

"I can't believe you couldn't see anything like this..."

Aoi and Hanakawa were on the high ground.

If you see a tower, you're on your way to thinking a bucket with a blade all over your body flew away.

The tower, suddenly revealed, is so high that it stands out in a canyon with no other artifacts. Aoi inferred that there would be about five hundred meters.

"Looks like there was some kind of juncture. It's a big deal because it covered something so huge. Well, it's under Kensei's control around here, so we never got too close."

"Isn't that Kensei? They're training brave men and stuff."

"Though the brave man seems to be the sword saint and loser. Rumor I've heard is that you occasionally gather prospective guys to impose trials and train survivors? Sage does something similar."

"Oh, speaking of which, I think the awkward one was told to be a wise man,"

"To whom?

He said, "Theon."

"Oh, my grief."

Aoi, who just thought he was just an unrelenting fat guy about Hanakawa, suddenly got a sense of pity.

"Wait a minute, will you! I've just been seen with the eyes of a bug with wings on the ground!

"Theon has a zero or a hundred policy. I don't want to nurture or anything. If you grow up properly, you might grow up, but if you survive chasing them down unchecked, long live! It's like a way of doing things. So you're going to have a terrible time."

"I think I'm still seeing it bad enough! Oh, you know, help the awkward guy who followed me all the way here? Look, I'm with you all the time, so don't you think you're gonna get attached or something cute? Stockholm syndrome!

That's what they said. Aoi took a closer look at Hanakawa. I couldn't.

"I'm sorry. Because it means no interference in the treatment of sage candidates."

"Then why don't you let me go home! Because we will strive for sage!

"'Cause it's okay.' Cause I think it's gonna be a good time to stay with me."

"Either way, I only have a feeling I'm going to die! Or are you trying to stick one foot to the coffin right now? What are you chasing that bucket of stuff for!

"I'm just on my way to someone who's about to get something going. But I'm not even willing to fight that properly. The target is a high-altitude night fog, so we'll just have to dodge that."

"No, you know what? If high altitude was the aim, as I've been saying before, you wouldn't need an awkward man!

"Right. Didn't you explain it around there? Right, Nobunaga Oda, for example."

"Yes?"

"Don't you know? Nobunaga Oda?"

"Ho? You think an awkward man doesn't know about the Sixth Heavenly Demon King? Please don't make fun of me!

"You can't kill someone like him, someone with a high fate value. You won't die if you get shot by Sekiya Sunsuku, you won't die if you mix your feet and fight on the front line, and you won't die if you make a reckless assault in the barrel narrow. He's a good cheat from the enemy. But there's a way to kill him like that."

"Doesn't that mean it's weird in the main temple?

"Yes. The only way to kill a being protected by destiny is to use destiny. You can't just try to kill me in the dark clouds. It's dramatic, you create a situation where if you die here, it's exciting. Fate prefers situations that seem more interesting. Create a situation where it's more interesting to die."

"Uh, well, you were talking about why you're taking the awkward, weren't you?

"Am I right? Wouldn't it be dramatic to reunite with a classmate or something?

"But if you seal the ability of Mr. Aoi to go high, it's easy to win! Isn't that a story like that?

"I don't have much information on high altitude night fog yet, and I'm not overconfident in my abilities. In the end, winning or losing is a matter of fate. Direct that muscle in a way that fate prefers, as convenient to me. To the extent that it helps..."

I don't expect so much from Hanakawa. Aoi was about to say that, but the line was undone by a sudden roar.

"... you can't see the tower anymore, but it's sealed in the junction again or something like that?

You wouldn't think that, but Hanakawa asks terribly.

"Whatever you think, it feels like it's physically gone."

The tower was gone clean and refreshing.

It's not just the tower. The canyons and the surrounding woods had disappeared.

And there were beings floating in the universe who would have done it.

From above to below. It would have unleashed something and extinguished it in a straight line.

"You're too fucked up! I'm at a level where the terrain changes!

Hanakawa exclaims in a high voice.

"You're in trouble. If there was a high night fog in the tower, we can't confirm life or death."

As for undertaking the end, it was an annoying story that the target was dying on its own somewhere.

"If you want to die to this extent, you don't need me."

Aoi began to make his way to where the tower should have been as he dragged the Hanakawa trying to escape.

"Huh? That!?"

Reinir was bewildered when he saw the night fog, Chichichika and the other woman rushing out to a glance.

Should I escape myself, or should I stay and fight?

"Mr. Reinir! Not if you care about Tannoura and the others!

Rick screamed, and Reinir returned to me.

And I realize it's useless to just run away. The opponent is like wiping out most of a hundred-story tower. There's nowhere to run.

Besides, it's supposed to be the family of the demon god floating in the universe. If we do not stop somehow here, the junction will be broken, the demon god will be resurrected and mankind will be extinct.

"It's no use having cowards and such! If you came out of the juncture, you'd be just fine! Now it's time for you to pay homage to my attack!

The girl who shook up her wand and invited Reinir to the Sword Sage trials is Frederica.

She is particularly brilliant at magic, although all her abilities are far from ordinary people, and her magic value exceeds 10,000 times that of ordinary people.

strongest being as far as he could tell, so Reinir moved to hide behind her, even though he felt a little pity.

"Um, I'm not a demon god. You're his family, aren't you?

"That's about all I know! I'll kill you gently when I work for you!

"Mr. Reinir, prepare to use the stone"

Rick pulls out his sword.

Each of the other candidates also took an interception stance.

A family member who was floating in the universe lands slowly, before the Sword Saint.

Sounds like a family member of a demon god, but he's pretty much a person. Speaking of differences, it would be about three pairs of black wings growing on my back. But the overwhelming feeling of its release doesn't make me think of it as a person or anything. It transcended man, was of a different dimension.

"How can we solve the bond? I won't kill you if I tell you."

He was a voice that seemed to fall asleep if the weak-hearted heard. In fact, the voice had magic in it, and one of the rings that Reinir was wearing was smashed and scattered in resistance to spiritual domination.

"Isn't that a lot of kindness? Suddenly you broke the tower."

"I broke the tower because I decided that would likely solve the bond. But that didn't solve it, so we need to explore other ways."

Does that mean Kensei? I was not afraid to answer the question of my family.

I guess the family decided no to Kensei's reply. I pointed to one of the sword saint candidates who was around.

The tip of the finger shines for a moment, and a black thunderlight as thin as thread puts a hole in the candidate's forehead. It was instant death.

"I'm in no hurry now. I'm going to kill you one at a time, so tell me when you're ready to teach me."

"Don't lick me!

One man jumped out between Kensei and his family.

The man is divided into six, each slashed by his family at the same time.

Simultaneous attack from six directions. It was an impossible slaughter, but the family didn't even try to kill him.

The family waved their arms depressingly.

Some blades reached the family. But they couldn't even give him an itch, and only six bodies divided up and down were born.

"Well, I thought it was like a remnant, so you have an entity."

"Heh. I can't afford to slap you lightly like that"

As Frederica was impressed, she spoke to Reinir.

Speaking of Kensei, he was distancing himself from his flying sari family.

You mean you're anticipating the opportunity, or you haven't even pulled out your sword yet.

"If we don't even have a bond, it's one of ours!

Frederica puts up a cane, and the light lights on its tip. It floated little by little as it grew brighter, creating huge light spheres.

"Oh, you know, you can relax like that!? Well, I think it's too big for that!

That was even bigger than what we had created on the roof of the tower. In the sun it jumps up outside the broken tower, far beyond the size that fits inside the tower.

"Full force! No spare time!

"No, well, now we're all involved -"

But Rhineal's worries were useless. The light sphere that covered the sky was so small that it was halfway down. The perimeter of the photosphere was distracted.

I guess I compressed the light sphere, which wields enormous magic, to its limits. But what the hell happens when it lands? I'm just sorry. I had a feeling Rhineal's body began to tremble into small pieces.

Fortunately, the family is not paying attention to Frederica. From what's nearby, I'm just slowly killing one person at a time.

"Fuck you!"

Frederica waves down her wand, pointing to her family. A light sphere compressed to fist magnitude hit his family at a tremendous rate.

The family waved unconstitutionally, without even looking at the light sphere. I grabbed the light bulb, and nothing happened.

"Ha!?"

Frederica solidified. I guess the perception hasn't caught up with reality. Now really, it's supposed to be the best blow I've ever done, and I wouldn't have even thought about getting a light grip on it.

"I think it was powerful for humans. If it hits me, I don't know if you'll burn me."

The voice came from the little boy in front of Frederica. When it was revealed, he stares slightly at Frederica with his hands behind him.

"Well, you can't cross the dimensional barrier, it's useless to do anything."

"This!"

Frederica was hit with a cane reflexively.

The boy took it with his left hand. I couldn't believe it on Rainier. Frederica is unusual in her powers. But that blow, which has even crushed the dragon's head, has been lightly stopped by the boy's slender arms.

"Mm-hmm. I'm sorry, but your sister's not on the stage to fight us. You don't even know what they're doing right now, do you?

"What!

If Frederica doesn't take her cane, she pulls it back.

Frederica gained momentum and butt cake. But the wand remains in the boy's hand, and Frederica's hand also remains holding the wand.

Frederica's right arm was severed by her elbow.

"You like sweet things because you're a girl, don't you? That's why I thought it would be nice to make it a treat.

"Oh, no! What is this!"

Frederica's right arm was brown and discolored. Hard and rough, it's baked confectionery itself.

The boy grabbed the wand and grabbed his right hand, and the splash and shard fell zero. Frederica, who saw it, lost her will and Rick was slashed by the boy. The boy flew away exaggerating it.

"Yeah. Your brother can still fight better. The sword and armor are good. I don't know where you got it, but it can reach us."

"Mr. Reinir! Mr. Frederica, please!

"Oh, yes!

Reinir, who was bewildered by the tragedy that rolled up one after the other, was called back to me by Rick.

"Master Kensei! The unique individual has already been revealed!

A maid doll revealed herself late made a further report.

"Stop calling me a unique individual, right? We have a name too. I'm Lute. Those with wings over there are Orgaine. It may be a short relationship, but thank you."

A boy named Lute greets him with respect.

"That's not good. There's never been a case of two coming out."

A rush was seen on Kensei's face. Until now, the family has emerged from time to time from the kingdom, and Kensei has continued to defeat it. But there has never been more than one at the same time.

"Rhineal! What to do, what to do, what to do! It won't heal! It's a treat!

Frederica was confused. She hasn't been scratched since she was born into this world.

An anomaly in which the injury for the first time in his life collapses when his right arm turns into baked confectionery. There's no way I can stay calm with this.

She was also good at restorative magic and seems desperate to cure it, but it wasn't working as if it had.

The winged demon god's family, Orgaine, slowly kills one at a time.

Lute, a relative of the boy's figure, was frightened to grin Rick's attack.

Kensei, the outline of a request in this situation, was still doing nothing. He's dropping his hips and putting his hands on the sword pattern, so maybe he's trying to set something up, but it doesn't seem useful at the moment.

Rhineal could only look at the tragedy.

Rhineal was helpless.

Originally, I don't have much strength. We've come this far, using and crushing the people we've summoned, and after doing it over and over again.

There are no more many star crystals left, and you won't be able to call all sorts of things. I don't even think it makes so much sense how many times I've redone the family of the demon god against them.

There's nothing more we can do.

It was Reinir laughing powerlessly, but that's when I noticed something luminous in a corner of my sight.

It's a message from the goddess.

Confirm with the thought of straw.

· [Reminder] Decision to hold another UR exclusive cha-cha!

Reinir decided to bet on it.

Meanwhile, around that time.

The night fogs were down the stairs to the basement.

It was in the first small room I entered, so I didn't have to look around, but there was a new problem.

The staircase seemed endlessly underground.

That was an unusual sight. This tower exists on a cliff. If the stairs were still looking, they would have jumped out through the cliff.

But I can't be depressed because it's an impossible sight.

The three went down the stairs. But no matter how far down I go, I don't even show signs that I can see the end. And as soon as we got up the stairs, we got to the original little room.

"I wonder if there's a line here, too"

In the meantime, the night fog said as I went down the stairs again.

"Hmm. If there's an interfering junction at times, maybe there's an interfering junction in space. It's like extending the distance to the underground for an unlimited amount of time. '

"If what lies ahead is where we control the junction, is it natural to defend it?"

Trials are being conducted on the tower. There was no easy way for strangers to get in.

"Does my buddy feel like he's ahead of us?

"Definitely. I started to feel stronger."

"Hmm. Is something like that arriving unobstructed by the bonds? I wonder what that means. '

"Perhaps, but it is the compatriots who are creating this juncture"

"I see. I wondered if the tower absorbs souls and maintains its boundaries, but does that use semidemons as independent energy sources and develop its boundaries in part '

"It's nice to think about how it works. What are you gonna do? This?"

Chichika says it seems boring that you haven't been following the story much.

"This would be our destiny, and we'll just have to get down there somehow, but I don't know what's going on"

"Ah, if that's the case. Who says Takahiro will kill you? I don't know if this is the world."

I thought about the night fog to see if I could do that.

"This is hard. What are you going to kill in this case?

"... space?

"I don't know what it means to kill space."

"I don't know enough about killing ice or killing doors!

"For example, if this kingdom is trying to trap me, it is possible to kill the kingdom itself by recognizing it as a threat. But this isn't a winged situation where you just can't move on, and you have to go first to die."

To kill, the night fog needs to recognize the subject, but space is too vague. Even if it is unrecognizable, it can be activated against the threat of death, but not this time.

"I don't know what happens when you kill a space, so I don't think you should stop unless it's all about"

Worst case scenario, the world could even collapse. It would be one of the forbidden hands.

"How did you help Kosan? Look, you stopped the tower from absorbing your soul, didn't you? Can't you break it like that?

"Um, in this case, it might be Mr. Theodigia's people who are the source of this bond, right? If I broke the source of the bond, the person who was supposed to help me was dead, then there's no point at all."

'Maybe I could go alone. It's not like there's an entity.'

"No, you don't really know what a ghost means either..."

Hakotoko said that he would be strained by his spatial perception when he was acting with the Mists at night.

"It seems that the signs will arrive. So let's see how things go ahead of time. If we could identify the origin of the junction, we could make a path to Theodisia, and the kid could tell us that path and kill a place where the junction was likely to be stopped '.

"No, I don't know what it is anymore, so try it well."

"Uhm. So... oh?

This one also strapped his neck.

"What's wrong?

"Something, I feel like I'm shaking"

"I don't feel anything, though?

"I don't know what it is, it's a shake that I feel with my heart."

"I don't care what you say."

Luoh-oh!

I can hear you roaring in your ears. And the space deviated. Night fog captured the phenomenon that way.

A line runs perpendicular to the space with the stairs and moves up and down slightly to its left and right.

It was an instant, and it immediately returned to normal, but the phenomenon had made a difference in the stairs.

The staircase, which was straight, slowly became invisible. That's what this staircase is all about, and I guess this is a big spiral staircase built around the inner circumference of the tower.

"Mm-hmm? You've broken the line? What's this all about?

"I saved you the trouble of doing something, and you shouldn't have gone down there."

The night fog continued as I tried to descend the stairs and a gust of wind blew from below.

As soon as possible, Chichika stuck to the night fog arm.

"What's going on?

Chichika was trembling.

"Something... black once came through... like a bladed bucket from all over my body..."

That's what Chika saw. However, I guess that didn't matter about the night fogs or anything.

The night fog looked back.

That's the stain on the street. Nowhere else. But it seemed like it was going straight to the ground.
