Konjiki no Moji Tsukai (Reboot)

174: The source of Avolos

Once Ten returned to the color of the sun and returned to [Magic Kingdom Haos], the city that was being raided by Avolos and others was reflected in Ten's eyes.

Demonstrating its lightness, Ten switches up to the tallest spot in the castle, from where he overlooks the city.

It was Avolos and two others in black who came to the country. The two of them seem to be running wild throughout the city, keeping their distance from Avolos.

No, Avolos is the only one in trouble. With just a swing of the sword in Avolos' hand, it disappears as if the ground had been decimated. Even if you shake it toward the building, the cut part disappears instantly.

As Xel was talking about, that sword is the Magic Sword Sacrifice. Xel told me about his abilities, but I still thought it was a weapon that suited Avolos as he walked in his clothes.

The citizens fled one by one, and the soldiers stood by to prevent Avolos' invasion. Some of them seem to be Marione, but Ten was looking for someone.

"Oh, my God!

Under Ten's gaze is a castle training ground, where many troops are assembled and dispatched one after the other. And Yveam the Devil King is in charge of it.

Ten turned his body dextrously toward Yveam.

"Demon King!

"Hmm? That's Ten! Where were you when I thought you were gone?

Ten had been observing the Avoros raid for some time, but returned to the Japanese color to reward Yveam for it without a report.

"Bad, bad. It's a little hillbilly."

"Huh? Are you okay over there?

"Whoa, I was pinching!

"Well, that's good."

Yveam strokes his chest down. Ten knows Yveam was bluishing his face when he heard that Herb Reed was killed in battle and that many soldiers' lives were scattered.

That's why we know we sent reinforcements to the bridge to avoid any more dead. That being said, life is heavy for her. Especially if it's one of us.

So it seems to be relieved to hear the survival of the sun. Well, Ten knows that it probably contains the feelings of a maiden in love.

"What's it like now?

"Marione is leading his troops to the defense. From Tekkail's intel, it looks like there's only three of them."

"Ho ho."

"Among them....."

Hmm?

Yveam had a bitter look on his face, so Ten was curious, but he asked about the future.

"Hey, demon king, do you know what your ancestors were after?

"... probably my neck."

Sure, if you think about it normally. If we can drop the Demon King here, we will have complete control of the war. Not only that, but it also includes the fear that if we succeed, we will lose the reason for fighting the "Magus".

The Demon King cannot be dropped here. But Ten is concerned about something.

"The neck of the demon king... really?

"Huh? What do you mean?

"Of course, I think it was the invasion of this country that ripped off the old lady with the red hair and the wolf's face, but I think they'll bring more power."

"Yes, that's true...."

"But there were only three of them. You didn't find any ambushes, did you?

"At least it's what Tekkail investigated and judged."

I know that Techcail, who is good at gathering information, has deployed his magical birds all over the country and is on alert. She felt a little uncomfortable and immediately conveyed the symptoms to Tekkail.

But for now, there are only three Avolos.

"That's why it's strange. If you really want to crush the demon King, I think you need to concentrate more power."

"Isn't that a limited number that can be metastasized? And it's Avolos. Maybe he's stepping on killing as much as he can kill me."

"I can't tell you that....."

But there's something caught in the tent. In the first place, this situation is probably the result of a brilliant operation planned by Avolos.

If we had anticipated this beforehand, we could have prepared ourselves for it.

And the enemy must have some kind of transfer magic. With that, we should be able to carry more than three people here.

And as a result, there were only three enemies. And for some reason Avolos is the only one fighting. The other two are just standing by like servants.

(Yah ~, looks like you're up to something.)

Ten feels his thoughts gradually becoming more realistic. But I don't know what that is.

(It's not about the neck of the demon king... what the hell is going on?

Marione, the second in the series in Creuer, stares at the ex-Demonic King from a distance ahead.

"I didn't expect him to attack himself. All right, you guys! There are three of them, but never let them down! You heard about Avolos' sword! Stay away from me! If it eats you, you'll take your life in an instant!

Soldiers respond cheerfully to Marione's advice. Soldiers then take advantage of the building to launch ranged attacks from all directions.

Far away, the magic from the surroundings also appears to be eating the magic itself with Avolos' sword changing shape. And whether it absorbs that energy or not, it's huge.

Moreover, the sword appears to be moving freely independently of Avolos' will. It stretches and spreads and shows movement that does not seem to be a sword.

"The Magic Sword that eats everything... monster"

Marione shoots magic no more, absorbs and strengthens it, decides it's the end of the line, and instructs the soldiers to stop casting magic.

However, one of the soldiers advises Marione that the attack cannot be prevented and the other's invasion cannot be prevented.

"I know that!

Marione leaps forward with her soldiers.

"I'm coming out! You look into the gap and let the magic go with my signal."

Marione decided to stop the Avolos. On top of that, I thought about finding a gap and trying to get rid of it.

No matter how much marionette, I don't think I can hold down three Avolos by myself. But we can draw the enemy's attention a little bit and create a gap.

In the meantime, we decided that if we launched a simultaneous attack of the soldiers waiting around us, there would be no accumulation of them.

Marione shakes her big body and takes a big step closer to the Avolos. And Avolos also noticed the presence of Marione and stopped moving and smiled.

"Hi, Marione, it's been a while."

Looks like it.

"Well, I'm still your boss, so I think you should use honorific language.

"His Majesty Yveam is my boss now. You are nothing but an enemy. And...."

Chilari and Marione turn their gaze to No. 05, who is standing next to Avolos.

"You've come here a lot, Kiria."

"Long time no see, Marione."

No. 05 lowers his head with an inorganic expression unchanged.

"Just don't make a mistake. My name is Valkyria 05."

"... how dare you betray His Majesty?"

…………

"You're the only one I can take care of on your behalf!

When Marione pulled out the sword that was on her waist, she stood up for the three of them.

"Kuku, will you show me the strength of the Sword Shogun for a long time?

Avolos raised his mouth with pleasure.

"Let me show you how much I can spare."

Marione kicks the earth and closes the distance with Avolos.

Having heard from the soldiers that Marione was facing Avolos, Yveam decided he couldn't do it alone and sent the soldiers for reinforcements.

"But, demon king, don't you want to dilute your defenses here any more?

Yveam has a sharp expression on Ten's advice.

"I know. But no matter how much marionette, it's too dangerous for that Avolos opponent. There are a few of them, so if you decide at once..."

Certainly numbers are combat power. If you hit only three opponents and tens of thousands of soldiers, you can win. However, Ten thinks that the other party is taking it into account.

What's he really up to? There are only three of them, so it should still be easier to get close to Demon King than to act in hiding. But why do you bother to act prominently?

I still didn't know why. If you were supposed to assassinate, you should hide in the shadows without being spotted by the enemy. Nevertheless, Avolos is making his presence more visible than necessary and behaving in such a way that his strength is focused on him.

(Hmm, I knew something like that would happen.)

Ten is giving instructions to the soldiers when they approach Yveam.

"Hey, Demon King, if he has a purpose other than the neck of Demon King, what do you think it is?

"Huh? Is there such a thing?

"Well, there's a lot to predict, so think about it for now."

"Mm... that's right. If my neck wasn't my purpose, then Avolos came here looking for something...?

"Until now. That idea makes sense. Well, I'll ask the Devil, but do you think there's anything here that would interest the ancestors?

Yveam returns silence to Ten's question. Looks like I can't think of anything. It should be the same, this is the country that Avolos ruled originally. I don't think we have what we're looking for. If there was something important here, I would have gotten it before it disappeared.

"I don't know what you're looking for... but why else would he be here..."

"No, it's still just my life, isn't it?

"Hmm... I wonder"

Currently, that is the strongest reason, but Ten still has the feeling that it is not clear.

But things that make Ten's idea a reality will happen in a few minutes.

"Haaaa!

The sword lines produced by Marione are sharp and blinking enough to be cut several times a second. However, Avolos continues to evade the small body slightly.

Marione is alert to Avolos' Sacrifice and chooses a hit and away way to fight once she enters her pocket.

And at the moment of separation, he attacked with the magic of earth, which he was good at. An enormous hand was created from the ground and attacked Avolos.

However, Sacrifice literally eats the hands of the soil with twisted teeth born of the sword.

"Gagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagagada!

Marione's magic is naturally different in quality than other soldiers. Because he is in the top two in [Magic Kingdom Haos].

"... does magic still work?"

Marione grudgingly distorts her face and Avolos opens her mouth with joy.

"Ahaha, hey, Marione, are you still trying to help me with the rest? While you're doing that, you'll do this.

Avolos waved his sword at the nearby building, not at Marione. Then the slash flew, and destroyed the building, and Marione's men, who were lurking there, were eaten of a part of their bodies by the slash.

"Ahahah! Now... is that you?

Avolos' blue eyes glowed suspiciously, increasing his ferocity. And Marione's men must be hiding in the direction he's looking.

"Kh! Let me! Darth Impact!"

The magic of Marione blows up, and a black lump is thrown from his right hand towards Avoros.

"That's why you can't do that."

Avolos turned to Sacrifice without panic and was swallowed by the sword like the hands of the earth. But Marione was doing the following:

I instantly filled it with Avolos and slashed it from bottom to top with the sword I had in my hand. Avolos held his face slightly with a sword, but his little body was easily pushed up into the air.

"It's you now, damn it! The city will collapse a little bit, but we need to put all the magic into him!

Marriott's men appeared behind the surrounding buildings, releasing the best magic of each, not to mention waiting, towards Avolos, who was disoriented in the air.

"I'm coming too! Come on, Ji Earthu!

Gogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogo

And not only that, but there are multiple magic releases blocking the escape route from around Avolos. I should have felt a sense of crisis about the situation...

Avolos certainly laughs and says:

"I've been waiting for that!

Something like a tentacle appeared from Sacrifice, piercing Avolos' body and sucking something up. And it turns out that at some point, there were two others beside Avolos.

Marione smiles when she can attack three people at the same time, but the next moment, the shape of Sacrifice changes to a huge sphere, and when she thinks that the sphere has cracked, it rips apart and looks like she opened her mouth.

"Nh, what is that...?!?

Strange sights occur in front of Marione's eyes. The magic released from the surrounding area falls into the mouth of the sphere one by one. And it's getting bigger and bigger.

The only thing left was a Marione rock dragon, but his greatest magic, The Earth, was swallowed by the sphere.

"What is it!?

And the voice of Avolos reaches Marione from behind the sphere.

"Now, let me give you a taste of despair."

A dark aura that doesn't seem to belong in the world is produced at a high density and floats around. Marione immediately realized it was dangerous.

"You guys, get out of here!

His screams only forced the soldiers for a moment. At that moment, the power of terror, which foreshadowed cruel death, was unleashed from above them towards the earth.

"... Kunigu!

The castle also fell into the city with an enormous mouth, a bright black mass that was huge enough to swallow.

--------------------------------------------------------!

Avolos' attack was also visible in the eyes of Ten and Yveam, who were supposed to be quite far away. A huge chunk of killing intent. And now, the moment it was released into the country, a dead line was born beside them.

"Demon King!?

"Yikes!?

Ten instantly releases his power, and the moment he returns to the human form, he climbs to the castle's high ground with Yveam's body in his arms.

And with a loud shock, the wind pressure that contained the maximum amount of violence struck both of them.

"Chi!

"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Ten holds magic at his feet, explodes it and rises to the sky with an electrolithographic fire to escape the wind pressure. Yveam kept screaming without knowing what was going on.

Ten was about to lose his posture, but he realized that this was going to happen very quickly, so he jumped up into the sky without any damage.

And he lost his words without thinking about the sight that was spreading under his nose.

Magic Kingdom Haos is the largest of the three continents. The size is as huge as a cluster of cities, but the country overlooking from the sky... no, it wasn't connected to the prototype enough to be called a country anymore.

A crater that might have a radius of more than 200 meters existed as if it had been destroyed in the country, and many of the buildings that were supposed to be around it were blown up and reborn like wilderness.

Quite a distance away, the building has collapsed as if it had been destroyed by an earlier blast.

And even though the castle where the Ten were earlier still has the foundation, most of it has been blown away, creating an unbroken sight to see.

Besides, the worst part is the number of deaths and serious illnesses.

Ten decides that those who were near the crater were obliterated. Others must have suffered countless deaths and minor injuries as a result of the blast. In fact, I would have been sorry if Ten had stayed there for free.

(That bastard... did it all the time)

So I finally understood what Avolos was aiming for.

(Perhaps he made himself attract more attention than he needed because of this technique. That's why he didn't hide, but acted roughly.)

And Avolos' plan was successful, with most of the country's defenses concentrated near him.

(He wasn't after Monkey King's neck, he was after... the country itself)

The collapse of the country. Full of combat power. That's what Avolos was after. But Marione and Yveam, who didn't realize it, put a lot of effort into stopping Avolos' invasion.

As a result, Avolos' strike led to the success of his scheme.

"Ugh... eh... who?

Oh, demon king.

"But, is it possible that it's Ten...?

"That's right. But I'm sorry, demon king."

Huh?

"With my power, only one demon king could protect me."

"Well, what do you mean...."

Yveam's eyes reflected the sight that spread from above to below.

"Ah... ah... ah... everybody!

Even as Yveam has forgotten himself, he forgets what he is held by the Ten.

"Ugh! Hey, demon king! Ahh!"

Trying to catch Yveam again as she fell off Ten's arm, a black wing grew from her back.

"Whoa, you're not worried about falling?"

But I couldn't leave her behind, Ten. If it's true, I'd like to go tell Nikko right away, but don't leave her alone. There should still be Avolos.

In the center of the crater were Avolos and Zero Five, and three Ishka standing intact.

"Phew, it's really hard to let go of all this power."

"Are you all right, Your Majesty?

When No. 05 asked, Avolos slightly shrugged his shoulders.

"Yeah, but has this accomplished one purpose? How's it going, Number 05?

No. 05 takes a crystal ball out of his pocket. There is a black vortex in the center, and it is extremely unusual.

I thought you saved up a lot.

"Yes, that's good. Is this one more step?

At that time, as Ishka, who had been silent, realized something,

There he is, Your Majesty.

"Hmm?... hey, I'm alive, Marione. Well, there are only former employees. I'll give you a compliment."

It was Marione who was breathing while buried in the sand. However, the body is full of wounds and the bleeding amount is complicated. The left arm and right leg have been cut and lost. There is also bright red blood coming out of the right eye.

"I can't believe you're still alive until you're like that."

"Gu... gufu!

Marione spits blood out of her mouth. Looks like the guts are taking a lot of damage. As Avolos approached, he raised his tongue sharply.

"Kuku, don't worry. I'll make good use of your death."

The moment I pushed Sacrifice against Marione,

"Let me waaaaaaaaa!

Yveam appeared there and Avolos took a few steps back from the scene. Avolos looks up at the person standing in front of Marione.

"Hi, it's been a while, my sister."

It was Yveam who showed up with blonde hair.

Yveam cares about the marionette lying behind him with his sword in his hand. The moment she saw him, she decided that he had to be treated at once.

The amount of pal blood flowing out on the ground tells of his crisis.

(But by myself, to these people....!

Yveam bites his teeth and gazes at Avolos and the other two in front of him. And then I find myself confused by the nostalgic face I've been with since I was a little girl.

"Kia, Kilia...!?

"Long time no see, Yveam."

Without showing his emotions, number 05 just quietly lowered his head. I think it's complicated for Yveam. I still don't want to think that she betrayed herself.

But now she's betraying Yveam and waging war. Yveam suffers from the thoughts of Kilia, which remained only slightly in Yveam.

"Well, Yveam."

That's when Avolos came in to break their eyes.

"Do you understand now? The foolishness of facing the blade."

"No, what are you doing!

Yveam stares at his hateful eyes with his teeth snapping.

"Ahahah, I'm not looking at my brother like that. Besides, this is how we met again, so why don't you treat me as a family for a little bit?

"Fuck off! How dare you... how dare you kill my family..."

Kuku, what are you talking about? This is war, isn't it? Besides, I showed you the way. [M] If I don't turn my blade, I won't take my life. "

He did say such a thing when he proclaimed it to the world. But there is no happiness in the world he controls. Because....

"You always think only of yourself! Put under his control and make the people happy!

Even when Avolos was the Devil King. What he was always looking at was himself and something that had been left far behind in the past. He was always looking up at the sky in the distance.

And there was a strange light in his eyes that talked about the past. Yveam had fears when he was young in that wonder.

Hatred, sorrow, loneliness, pain, eye light that condenses all negative emotions. It was a light that made me think that someone who wanted the end of the world would have it.

"Ahahah! That's right! The rest only think about themselves. But... that's normal, right?"

"What do you mean....?

"Everyone keeps looking for their own happiness. I often say it's for someone else, but after all, it's only for me. For example, the marionette there is dying. I want to heal his wounds and save his life for his future. From the front, this is definitely for someone else's... marionette. But if he dies, Yveam, I'm sad. I don't want to grieve, so I cure him for myself... that's what I mean."

"......!?

"People think about themselves. But don't get me wrong. I'm not saying it's bad. That's obvious. And the rest of them are working for themselves. It's just going to end up being for the rest of them. After all, it's just a by-product of the main purpose for others."

"It was a trick! Even if you can see it that way, what matters is that you want to do something for someone! It's not what it is!

"... it's the same. People are profound creatures of business. Including the spare, of course. That is why grief arises in this world, and hatred and strife arise from it. Don't you know yet, Yveam? People fight. That's what you said, and so is this world."

The smile disappears from Avolos, and a void is reflected in his eyes. There is fear that no emotions can be read.

"Indeed, until now, we have fought and hurt the world. But as long as you still care about people, there are times when people and people are bound by strong ties! It's never just hatred! If people come together, they may pass away and collide because of differences in values and so on! But you can still hold hands with each other's thoughts! Look at us, Avolos! An alliance of tribes that was said to be impossible anymore. That's what it's made of now! Peace is on the horizon! Why are you interrupting that?

Yveam speaks to Avolos with all his thoughts.

"... because I'm uncomfortable."

"... hey, what? Fu, you think it's unpleasant...?

Yes, let me tell you something a little old.

Avolos closed his eyes quietly and started talking.

"The races that once lived in this world were hurting each other over their respective rights and so on. In the meantime, a young man appeared, worried about the state of the world, and tried and mistakenly managed to become peaceful. While carrying a lot of grief and pain, the young man served as a bridge between the world and the foundation for connecting all races."

Yveam listens to the story in silence. Yveam had never been told such a story by him.

"Peace went on. Everyone seemed happy in a world without war..."

Huh?

"One day, I explained the anomaly of a young man whose country was supposed to have saved the world."

"Yes, abnormal?

"Yes, the young man was the only one who fought and won against many races. Whether they were ripped off by their arms or stabbed with a spear in their bellies, the young man struggled for everyone's smile. But even with such fatal wounds, the body that heals in an instant, and its astonishingly strong physical ability, even the powerful who reigns at the top of the world, can retreat. Above all, it attracts people. It was terrifying and neglectful to the representatives of the country."

…………

"So the country feared what would happen if the young man woke up at random and turned the world against him. No, those who didn't like young people spread the idea around the world. And gradually the eyes of those who see young people have changed. Young people, who were called heroes that united the worlds, were sometimes called" Outsiders of Fear ". And there came forth a man who doubted the young man, and denied his power, and sought to keep him away, and to eliminate him.... what do you think happened to the young man?

Yveam didn't know. I saved the world for everyone and hurt it, but now everyone's eyes are white because of its power. Yveam blushes his face, hoping that he would do such a thing.

"If you don't, I'll destroy all those people who are willing to avenge you, no doubt."

Yveam, who knew Avolos, thought he would.

"But this is what the young man thought."

"If I'm gone, peace may return."

"... eh?

"The young man lamented the fact that his existence had made it a spark and that the struggle that had settled down had begun again. But from those who admired him, it wasn't entirely acceptable for him to be sacrificed for those who didn't know."

Avolos chewed his teeth and revealed his anger for clarity.

"His people persuaded him many times. Over and over again, I told him not to treat his life badly... but one day, his beloved... was killed."

"... eh?

"The country where the young man was supposed to have killed... Of course, his people jumped to retribution. But he said,"

"I don't want to see anybody hurt for me anymore."

"... so lost that he disappeared from his people. I searched for a friend. Rainy days, windy days... and finally found somewhere. It was a small island where he and the woman he loved met for the first time. His body was found there."

"Hmm!?

What a tragedy. Young people who grieved over a damaged world and led themselves to peace even though they were hurt. The young man is now hunted down by those who live in the world, and deprived of the woman he loves. Is there such a tragedy...?

"Do you want to hear about him after he's gone? Easy, people started arguing again about their claims with the disappearance of a stopper named him. Eveam has been building a history of strife ever since, don't you know?

"... is this a fabricated story?

That's what I heard, Yveam, but it was an expression of my desire to deny Avolos at all. My senses somehow tell me he's not lying.

But I didn't want to admit it. The fact that such a thing was happening in the world.

"That's a fabrication... How good would that have been...? They erased him from history. To avoid leaving their own stains on future generations. Well, of course. He saved me, and I drove him away just because he was scared. And the countries."

That's why there are no ancient documents or literature like Avolos said. No, so Yveam remembers a story. It's a hero Kilia read to me when I was a kid.

"...... The Adventure of the Tinklevail ......"

"... heh, you knew that, too. Yes, that's the only truth left in this world. Well, it's a big distortion, but that story is definitely... his story."

There is sorrow in Avolos' eyes. Eveam has never seen him think of anyone and have that look on his face. That is why Yveam was convinced.

"Avolos... maybe you..."

"Kuku, that's right. The rest is Tinklevail... no, I was one of Sink Heikler's people."

Even though Yveam imagined a shocking confession from Avolos, he was still unable to conceal his surprise. Yveam also knew that Avolos had lived for hundreds of years, unlike Yveam.

I may have been too old, but I had little contact with him, who reigned as the Devil King. We just eat together occasionally. And a few times a year.

So Yveam only knew about the surface of Avolos. I was surprised that I had such an experience in the past.

"Yes, the rest were his best friends. The hero who saved the world... betrayed and killed his best friend as if he had turned his hand back. Not only that, but even the world that was so peaceful became chaotic again. Look, Yveam, peace is a fantasy. It's a dream that will eventually disappear into a bubble."

…………

"That's why I feel uncomfortable watching the peace you're trying to make. There's no way that peace is going to last."

"Yes, I won't say that!

"... why can't I just say that?

"Maybe you've been through a tragedy! But still, people can change! Just because you happen to see someone change in the wrong direction...."

At that time, an incredible sense of killing seeped out of Avoros, and Yveam suddenly shut up.

"... by chance...? You really think so?

"... no, what are you saying..."

"I see. Those who don't realize it don't even think of small questions."

Avolos smiled at himself with mockery. Yveam has no idea what he's talking about.

"Then I'll tell you. Listen, Yveam, have you ever wondered living in this world?

"Question...?

"That's right. Haven't you wondered why... when and how the interesting separation of the tribes was possible?

"... eh?

"You used to think that the world had one big continent, and as a result of being divided into three for some reason, each of the three species discussed and divided the continent...?

I felt a strange discomfort in his words. That was true. One day, Yveam was told that the tribes of the three continents were fighting, and he studied why they had fought, but he never wondered why the three continents were splitting up well.

I was unconsciously convinced that it was like that.

"Nobody knew the first time. Of course, there is no literature. And even though everyone cares about the past, they don't question how it started. Nobody wants to find out why there are three continents, why the tribes inhabit and have fought like this, as shown there. Don't you think that's funny?

…………

Yveam feels like he's been hit in the head with a hammer, and he's waking up fast. Avolos continued staring at it with cold eyes.

"The magic is more familiar. Do you know what that is?

I desperately rotate my thoughts, but the words of Avolos earlier are too shocking and confusion does not swirl around.

"That's... status."

"Status... Tas?

"Yes, have you been taught that you exist? It's one of God's powers."

You were right. When God created this world of all things, he was taught that he gave "status" to all living creatures there so that they could see it.

"Didn't you question the existence of Status in the first place? I don't know why I see something like that... because if it's not magic or magic, it's not magic.

"Well, that's...."

"Yes, it looks normal. That's why I don't doubt it, but I think it's only natural... right? But don't you think it's strange to hear the rest of this now? What do you have Status for in the first place? There, the level increases with experience, the parameters increase, and the types of magic and" costume magic "increase. Further titles will be added. That's the title. What's the description for who? If there is a Status, don't you think it would be okay for the person to only describe HP and MP? Because it's directly linked to life. And yet, do we need to quantify and confirm power, speed, accuracy and wisdom? Do you really need something like that to live normally?

For some reason Yveam felt refreshed so that the dark clouds in his heart would clear up.

"It's like the play itself... right? Doesn't it feel like somebody's checking it out and having fun?

"Oh, no way...."

A little silence occurs, and Avolos spits out words pointing to the falsehood.

"Yes, everything that lives in this world is under their control."

…………

"The sea, the mountains, the forests, the earth, the people... it's a boxyard that all of this world has been rebuilt for their enjoyment."

"I don't know... that's why..."

"Are you saying you don't? Then can you explain how this world started? What's your status? Plus, why didn't you question it until Yu said so? It's a fact that they were manipulating everything unconsciously."

…………

"It is manipulated by consciousness so that it does not lead to the idea, and it lives according to the flow of the world without any doubt. Sometimes we enjoy peace, sometimes we break it, we have disputes, and now we summon the presence of brave men from other worlds to quell it, and we enjoy watching the world scratch."

"Hey, who the hell...?

Avolos stared at Yveam with nothing in his eyes but did not answer.

At that time, the marionette lying on the ground exhales blood. Hatched Yveam approaches him and distributes magic to his body to make it a little easier.

I regretted that what I did with Yveam had been taken consciously by Avolos' unexpected story.

Avolos opens his mouth as he stares at those two.

Let's go back a little bit. Let's say that what Yu said is true. If someone can manipulate the consciousness of those who live in this world, what do you think of continuing to see peace?

"Isn't that wonderful?

"No, it's not. This is what I think a long lasting peace is all about, having great power and being able to do anything. Ah, I'm bored."

"Ha!?

"So manipulate someone's consciousness to create a spark of war. Control how people fight and hurt each other. Then he breaks the peace, and when he is tired of strife, he creates a messiah, and returns to peace again, and begins strife and seeks inspiration. It's a grand tour."

"That kind of thing....?

And the system killed the rest of my best friend.

Yveam said, "Ah!?" Remember. If his story is true, the savior of the world, Sink Heikler, was the trigger for breaking the peace.

"What do you think will happen to the weak if you amplify the fear of the strong under people's consciousness?

…………

"People originally have qualities that make it difficult to accept something different from themselves. Furthermore, if the difference is anomalous, it is much more likely to be the subject of fear."

I would take it for granted that it is a person. Man is a creature that naturally seeks ease. So I have a tendency to forgive myself for being the same. Because it's easier.

But obviously, you are more alert and suspicious of heterogeneous beings that are different from you. Not to mention that if its existence is too divergent to be understood, it might be... frightening.

"The hero who once saved the world was an alien."

"Eh!?

There is a boy in Yveam's head.

"Besides, it has an extraordinary magic, and it blends into the world at an incredible speed. And he saved the world with so much power that it could be called the ultimate. However, even the strong who protect themselves from disasters and wars can only see fear in the eyes of the weak-minded when it comes to a peaceful world. Not to mention the fact that the mighty can easily destroy the world by causing a whim, so the kings who rule people and those who are connected to them can only interfere with their existence. Yes, if you manipulate your consciousness, then... you know what I mean?

Afterwards, we came to the end of what Avolos told us earlier. The top of the country, who thought their position would be jeopardized, eliminated all heroes.

"It's up to you. Rather, people's hearts are really easy to dye. Especially those who stand above people....."

That's why Avolos said someone used it to move the world.

"Someone will betray me one day when I grow up wanting to protect someone. I can't stop it. One day the world will betray you for being stronger and taller than anyone else. To be strong in an unusual way..."

Avolos pierces Yveam with his glimpsing gaze.

"Do you have any idea what that is?

"... eh?

Ji and Avolos stared into Yveam's eyes. Then slowly move your mouth.

"... Hyiro Okamura"

"Hmm!?

"He was also chosen as a crossroads of time."

The japanese-colored name Avolos spoke of. And Yveam also had a double shock because he was listening to Avolos and thinking about the Japanese color.

"Hiiro Okamura. Have you ever thought his presence was strange?

"That's not true!

Yveam denies it with the feeling that he can't give it away.

"Ahahah, I assure you. But think about it. How long do you think it's been since he was summoned by this [Idea]?

"That's...."

"It's been less than a year. However, he is now a hero of the" Demon Clan "and a man enough to beat even the Beast King who has polished himself for centuries. And a teenage boy. Don't tell me this is abnormal. What's abnormal?

Avolos is right. It is true that the color of the sun has been in this world for less than a year. And yet, he has acquired more power than anyone else in the world's top class.

It is normal to think that such a thing is impossible.

"Well, it's all part of his magic, but his presence is far too far away."

"But with that power, Hiro is saving us!

"Yes... that's right. Exactly. With that rare power, he's going the way he thinks he is. And many will actually be saved by his power. In a world where strife prevails peacefully, his existence may be equal to that of the Savior."

Exactly. It is true that Japanese color does not fit within the framework of the heroes of the "Magus tribe", and now it is the existence that divides victory and defeat in this war.

"But now I may find his great power fascinating. Maybe that will help us win the peace. But... what do you think happens when it's peaceful?

Huh?

"... his excessive power will surely bring misfortune. Because we don't need that kind of power in a peaceful world. On the contrary, if such a force is nearby, they will surely appear. Leave him alone, and if he wakes you up at random, the world may be destroyed. That's why... you shouldn't exist."

"No, that's not true! We can't be afraid without thanking Hyiro!

"Kuku, isn't that because you have personal feelings?

"Ha...!?

Yveam blushes slightly at the words of Avolos.

"Take a wider look. Hyiro Okamura's extraordinary abilities. Do you really think there's no one in that existence who doesn't remember fear?

"... at least he saved the 'Magus'."

"Hmm, that's for sure, but just because you're saved doesn't mean everyone appreciates it. No, thank you, but after all, he's a stranger and not a" Magus. "Then there will definitely be a skew. The skew gradually grew, the suspicion became complete suspicion, and I began to feel uncomfortable with the existence of Hyiro. Because I told you before. People are too different from themselves, and they want to get rid of them."

"Don't talk any more! You don't know anything about Hiro! He will never destroy the world on his own! There are a lot of people who like him!

Yveam raised his voice to avoid being bewitched by Avolos' words.

"... that's right. But I used to admire the heroes, many of them."

……

"Still, it turned out that way. You know what? He... the Hero Sink and Hiro Okamura have different personalities, but their positions, abilities, and environment are different. Besides, the fact that he was summoned is built into their system."

"System...?

"So even if Hiro Okamura defeated the rest of the war and became famous as a hero, people will definitely try to eliminate him in the near future. That's how you're guided."

"...... no"

"Don't let that happen...! If anyone thinks like that, I'll take care of it! Hiro, I'll show you!

"... you're young, Yveam. When I look at you, I remember who I was."

With a sad expression, Avolos shakes his head lightly.

"But it's no use. As long as they're around, we can't take the liberty. Hiro Okamura will eventually be a victim of the world -"

--------I won't let you!

Suddenly, there was a man who stood between Yveam and Avolos from above.
