Instant Death

Sage Theon wasn't checking in detail on the selection.

Because it's not very interesting to watch the skirmishes of sage candidates who are not very strong.

All I care about is the life and death of the candidates and their escape out of range. They can be grasped through the system, so she waited relaxed in a stronghold in the King's Capital.

"We're almost there. Wasn't there a way? If we succeed, some of you may have been wise."

Lying on a luxurious sofa in a luxurious living room, Scion is relaxing.

Standing before it and complaining was Iowichi, a sage's squire.

It's a familiar pattern from when Ziyuan, Dragon King's Court, was born.

"Have you remembered anything unpleasant?

"Honestly, I don't feel so good."

I guess we remembered our own time. Iowichi had an obviously bitter face.

"But I think you can choose who you want to kill."

"What would you do if you wiped it out? Even a subpoena would take a lot of work."

"I can't help it if it's to the point of total annihilation. And then Van seems to have something to do with it, so why don't I leave it to you?"

Van the Wise, a young man who is the grandson of the Great Wise.

Previously, he used to brazenly say that it was easy to increase the number of wise men without having to do the kind of hassle of calling out sage candidates from different worlds.

"So, how can I help you?

"About the aggressor. Angel-type activity has been rapidly revitalized."

"Oh, that's just a moment, please. Apparently someone is trying to get out of range."

In the space in front of him, Theon showed footage near the boundary.

Several men and women were on their way to the boundaries set as a range of selection battles.

"Wait a minute! What the fuck is this! What's going on!

Iowichi was surprised by the sight shown.

"Right. Based on the scale of the destruction, is it about an atomic bomb?"

The walls that should have been there had disappeared.

Most of the forest trees are also extinguished, so I guess it's near the blast point there.

"These guys, are you walking in here..."

"I mean, even though it's an isolated space where you can wield as much power as you want without worrying about the eye in the corner. I didn't know we could only attack to this extent."

If you awaken to this extent, you are far from becoming a wise man. Yes, Theon thinks.

"Well. You're over it"

Scion thought there was a possibility of turning back. Because the threat of the wise has been well communicated so far.

But they crossed the line.

Two men, Takahiro Night Fog and Daimon Hanakawa, crossed the border and left the selection range.

Theon woke up his body.

Get up and move to a slightly open location.

To keep furniture from getting involved in the transfer.

Theon was able to transfer to a place he had been once. It doesn't matter whether it's a place called the Demonic Realm or not.

"Hey. Are you okay with going to that place?

"Yoichi is worrying."

No wise man can be harmed to this extent. If you can't live in this environment, you don't qualify as a wise man.

Zion smiled lightly at the worried Iowichi and moved to where the fugitive was.

What happened was simple.

All of a sudden, my right ankle was powerless.

Naturally you will not be able to support your weight with your right leg and your body will fall. If you noticed, Theon had buttcakes on him. It would have been easy if it was just about not falling. Theon can fly in the sky. It's not as good as retaining your posture on the spot.

But Theon couldn't understand the sudden anomaly. I couldn't understand it, so I just fell but left it.

And I still didn't understand it.

It's like I don't know why this is happening.

Theon's flesh was complete.

Ever since I became a wise man, I've never even remembered the slightest pain. Theon was so complete that he forgot what pain was.

No anomaly can occur, even if some sort of anomaly occurs, it recovers shortly after instant realization.

Whatever little thing it is, it can't be dysfunctional.

That's why Theon was confused.

It's impossible to fall.

Check your right ankle.

It doesn't hurt. I just didn't move. There's no sense of fingertips, and that's as if there's no tip left from the ankle.

"I killed his right ankle. It's the fruit of practice."

Hearing the words, Zion had not yet understood the anomalies that had occurred to him.

This boy says he can kill anything.

But I didn't think it would work for me.

Multiple stretched magic walls block any attack, and even if you break it all, there is a dimensional fault. Besides, in case it scratches, let alone dies. Such things recover in an instant.

Theon continued to grow. It rapidly increases its power at the rate at which it hits the pulse, and every time every slight anomaly is back on track.

Yet.

I can't move ahead of my right ankle. That's the only place I can't get back to normal. That's as if it had been from the beginning.

Theon couldn't relate it to the boy in front of him.

It was an unexpected reality for Zion, something that could not have happened.

It's just a part of my body.

So I didn't lose, I didn't die.

But even a little bit, there are beings who can influence Scion the wise. Believing it honestly could not be done by Zion.

People decide that they had no events that were unrealistic and could not be drawn in the back of their brains.

Replace it with something else to distort the real image within your imagination.

Theon considered the phenomenon to be an error that rarely expressed itself as a temporary occurrence of a defect. I tried to conceive of a convenient delusion as a fact.

"Hey. Are you hearing me? Don't be confused forever, answer me."

Theon thought about getting rid of these guys for now.

Something's wrong, but you can think about that later.

Firstly, we need to erase and bully the fools who break the rules that Zion has presented.

Theon pointed his palms at the night fog.

Nothing in particular. Just a light bullet that compresses and releases excess magic. You don't have to dare use any other moves, it's Zion's usual attack.

Palms shine and light bullets are produced.

And vanished.

Light bullets disappeared just before they were ejected at high speeds.

"Please don't do that because it's so hard. You're about to kill me."

Finally, Theon understood reality.

"I'll tell you just in case, I'll boil their blood and kill them, because moves like that are useless. You're gonna die before you use it."

Kill the light bullet, Night Mist said.

If you're going to fly something, you can kill it. But moves that directly affect another person's body are troublesome.

Whatever they do, it's possible to deal with it, but if Zion dies before you listen to him, the struggle he's had will be ruined.

"I ask you again, all I want to know is how to get back to the original world. I called, and I thought it was the most likely thing you knew."

Until recently, he looked frightened, but he seemed to have me back when he attacked.

So you must understand this story.

But Theon didn't open his mouth.

Maybe I'm still thinking of something extra, but the night fog wasn't even willing to take much time.

Although compatible with the surrounding environment, it is not preferable to prolong Phase 2.

"Knock."

Theon shouts a shout-out.

The night fog killed Zion's right hand pinky and drug finger.

The only thing I aimed for was my pinky finger, but I'm not skilled enough to exactly end it in one finger.

"I've heard you're going to have to leave three of them in that muscle."

Kill little by little from the end.

Night fog thought that was the best way to not kill and threaten. There seems to be some hesitation there, though. The damage and ordeal suffered by the fogs at night. Because the primary cause of this is Zion. Call out to other worlds, etc. I suppose that would be synonymous with murder, and there shouldn't be any muscle to get hit back and complain about.

"I'm going to scrape one by one until I talk."

Night fog threatens pale. Then, suddenly, Scion disappeared.

It must have metastasized. You were in a hurry, the ground is shredded over a long and wide area. Looks like he got involved and flew away with it.

"Hey! Didn't you get away with it! It came all of a sudden, so it's a sudden escape!

Hanakawa says in a panic.

"It's gonna be okay."

Night fog thought Theon would be back.

Along with massive amounts of dirt and sand, Zion returned to base.

It was an emergency evacuation, so it involved the surrounding area.

The transfer was also imprecise, and I intended to fly upstairs to my room, which appeared in the air in the hallway on the ground floor.

He was beaten to a carpet laid in the hallway in a state of dirt.

"... what the... is that..."

Theon thinks about staying down and down.

That was something completely different from the kind of power I had imagined.

It's not instant death magic or anything.

No barrier or anything, just stop functioning the way you want.

I don't know why, I couldn't find a way to deal with it, and Zion had escaped like no other.

Fortunately, all that can do is kill.

He wasn't supposed to have the ability to move and chase those who fled.

Theon tried to be calm.

Now it's time to calm down. Calm down and analyze the current situation.

Theon woke up his body.

And then chisel your right wrist with your left hand.

The right wrist instantly regenerated. It's working, but my pinkies and my meds don't even move.

It won't have to be tried, and so will the right ankle.

I have feelings. I couldn't do anything while they were doing this.

But I can also say that it was still done to this extent.

The damage would not have been done to this extent if you had twisted your pride and imitated it like a scratch.

Theon stood up fluttered.

Neither the right ankle, nor the fingers of the right hand, is that much of an obstacle if you think there is none.

High altitude night fog is a threat.

But if you know you are, don't get involved. It is not true that a wise man imitates that he escapes and hides.

I don't remember being so frustrated that my head is about to burn out, but you can also manage to get into the depths of my chest.

Theon flew through the universe. Continue down the hallway and head up the stairs to your room upstairs.

And to the abrupt loss of sensation, Theon lost his balance.

Hit the wall and roll into the hallway.

Left ankle.

Theon realized that he had been attacked by night fog.

Confused.

This is the earth, and even space is made with the demonic realm where the night fogs are.

Yet he was attacked.

Fear pushes me closer.

It doesn't matter if he's at present or not, he attacks ignoring distance and space.

If attacked, the area stops functioning and will never come back.

I don't even know who that attack is, so I can't dodge or defend myself, and I can't fight back.

However, it will remain.

"What the hell!? I have no idea what this means!

Theon vandalized his voice.

Left pinky. Right . Left ear.

Little by little, my senses are lost. I'm going crazy about the fear of loss.

"I'm going to scrape one by one until I talk."

That's what Night Mist said.

Wherever he was, Theon realized he was going to go on with it pale.

"Don't be ridiculous! If you're going to kill me anyway, there's no way you're going to talk!

Even if I die, I won't give in. It was my last bully as a wise man.

Theon managed to get to his room.

They'll kill you from the end anyway. As long as you decide to be ready, you won't be in the way of moving.

When I walked into the room, there was Yoichi.

I felt like a long time had passed, but it hadn't been as long since Zion metastasized in front of Iowichi.

"Yoichi..."

Seeing that familiar face, Theon was relieved to say that this was the situation.

Maybe I will die like this.

But if that's the case, it's in front of Yoichi. If Yoichi nurses you to death, you may be convinced that it wasn't so bad as the end of this nagging life.

"Scion!? What's up!

You must have noticed that Scion was soiled. Yoichi rushed over looking worried.

And I fell.

Yoichi had a decent face. I suppose you thought it was strange that you could fall where there was nothing like this.

And I screamed.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Iowichi seized his right ankle and began to suffer.

"Oh no... how..."

Same. Yoichi is under the same attack as he was under.

And Iowichi is not as resistant as Zion. My right ankle died abruptly, and there was no way I could just do it.

"Yoo-ichi!

Next, Iowichi suppressed his right hand with his left. What happened to Zion is beginning to be reproduced even in Iowichi.

How can this happen? How can you do this? Theon has no idea.

And I suddenly remembered.

I summoned you before, about a man in white who knows the fog of the high night.

The man came to this world and suddenly blew himself up. I didn't know what it meant then, but now I feel like I know what it means.

The power of night fog can be activated even via people.

And Theon was relieved.

"... what, it..."

Aoi said before that this world is over.

I had decided it was just going crazy, but Theon was finally starting to understand what the word meant, too.

"Ha, help me! My legs, my hands!

Iowichi is bored. I'm screaming at the pain of loss.

Imagining the end of the Iowichi, Zion's heart was broken.

After a while, as expected by the night fog, Theon returned.

"... help Yoichi..."

"I told you from the beginning. This one just wants to talk. I'm not going to attack you any more if you talk to me properly."

If Theon is back, the night fog is fine.

"I think I already know, wherever you are, I can attack, and so can the person you see."

"I'm too scared of what you're saying! Huh? Then maybe with the awkward?

"Hanakawa hasn't been targeted. Because I can't do it without Phase 2."

Night fog doesn't do that indiscriminately either. I consider myself to be taking due account of it.

"Um... Honestly, I'm pulling a little..."

"You should think it was done just to this extent."

"Uh, yeah. I'm starting to understand what Forgiveness is saying."

Chichika, Kenko, and Carol were also coming to the side.

I don't mean to be drawn to Chichika, but I couldn't have chosen the means to know how to return.

"Then ask again. Tell me how to return."

"... not prepared"

Theon said after a little hesitation. It didn't look like you were lying.

"This Hanakawa. I've been in this world before, and I'm telling you I could have gone home by then."

"That must have remained a link to the original world."

That's like putting a rubber string on it, Theon said.

In other words, in that situation the power to always try to return to the original world is at work, and return can be effortless. All you have to do is remove the stopper you set at the time of the summons.

"You think we're in the absence of that link?

Night fog remembered saying something similar before, both here and here.

"Yeah. If there's a link, we can't do enough in this world."

The night fog sighed.

I was wondering if the Scion I called had any way of returning, but he can't make it home that easy.

"Then tell me the coordinates of the original world"

Theon answered honestly about the coordinates, knowing that and what to do.

However, the value of the coordinates is too long for a normal human to remember. So for now, I'm going to remember this one.

"Uhm! Here you go! I would be helpful. If you want to go home, I don't think there's anything I can do!

"Yes, sir. Wow, wow."

Chichika is a throwaway, but he seemed to forgive the battlesuit thing.

"With the coordinates and just the energy to return, you can go home. Do you have any idea about energy?

It's too vague, so this was the original question.

But Zion's reaction to that question was unexpected for the night fog.

Theon stabbed his left hand into his chest.

Then he dragged something out and offered it to the fog at night.

"... is the stone of the wise..."

It was a transparent round stone, to the extent that it fitted into Zion's palm.

"Oh, that! Is that what it means to be treated like a pack?!?"

"Yeah. Hanakawa-kun, shall we shut up for a second?

Chichika stopped Hanakawa from reading too much air.

"You won't be able to do this with one thing... but with some, I think it will be enough to return..."

"Even if it's gone, is it a good thing?

"It's okay. I wasn't originally dependent on anything like this."

"Yes, I'll take it then."

The night fog received the stone from Zion's hand.

"Does that mean that the wise men you've killed have stones too?"

The wise men we have defeated so far are Rain, the boy who has attacked us while traveling by train, and the one who has attacked us indiscriminately in the city of Hanabsa.

If I had prejudged the stone of the wise man, I would have gotten two parts with it.

"Let me give you one piece of advice. When a wise man with a sage stone in his body dies, it is customary for the sage stone to be powerless. Mr. Santaro's sage stone, which you killed in the canyon, has also lost its power."

Sage, who holds the Sage's stone in his body, says the power of the stone makes him almost immortal. The sage's death seemed to mean that the stone had also exhausted its power.

"Well, that's a little rough"

If that's true, if the night fog causes you to die instantly, you won't be able to recover the stones of the wise.

"This is the place for now. Hanakawa. The walls are broken, but what's going on with the exit?

"See? Is it an exit? Oh, it appears on the map of the awkward, so it doesn't seem to be broken. Is it okay if this guy stays like this!

"I'm not. The only purpose is to gather information. It's like a grudge caught up in a shitty thing, because that's true, but it's not as much as wanting to kill pointlessly."

"Yea! Something already matched my scattered eyes. You can do whatever you want. You don't expand to do whatever you want!

Hanakawa began walking with a sleaze when she realized that the three women were looking at her with cold eyes.

The fogs moved around the walls and disappeared from there into the basement.

There, I guess, is a facility where you can move freely within the demonic world.

Theon stared at it blurry.

Night fog, I guess I just really wanted to gather information.

Just to threaten him, I let him kill some of Zion and Iowichi lightly.

Zion has no skill at all to exchange, nor does he want to defy the difference in power when he can show it so far.

I guess I'm glad it's done to this extent.

Fortunately, not so important organs have been lost. Night fog that seemed like it didn't matter, but even then there seemed to be some sort of consideration.

"Oh, we need to make Yoichi's allowance quicker"

I have suffered for a long time, but if I let go of the proper treatment, I will be able to remove the pain.

Theon attempted a metastasis.

Mansion in Wangdu. Imagine your own room with a yoichi.

But I failed.

The metastasis was not activated.

I have given away the stone of the wise, but the magic that Zion inherently possesses is alive and well. There should be as much power as is necessary for the metastasis, but it doesn't activate for some reason.

I looked around to see what was causing it. Because the metastasis of Scion is a transfer of space that includes you, so when a giant obstacle is around you, it can fail.

The cause was immediately known.

Foot. It was buried on the ground from a senseless ankle.

If you noticed, the surrounding appearance had changed.

The burnt earth was transformed into something like peristaltic red and black rot.

The meat boils loudly and waves.

Scion was surrounded by walls of meat.

Theon emitted a light bullet. Light bullets scorch the flesh, even wearing holes, but the surrounding flesh quickly creeps in and fills the scars.

The overwhelming mass made Zion's attack pointless.

While he was doing that, Zion's body was swallowed by meat all the way down to his waist.

It was an absorption. There are no boundaries between meat and Zion, and they are integrated.

"Yoichi..."

At the end of the day, so crushed, Zion disappeared into the meat.
