"Hmm. Lyna, wasn't your chosen staircase off?

There are a total of five staircases leading up to the heavenly edge of the tree.

We draw three of them, and besides me, Ray and Mass are on their way.

Lyna's chosen staircase should certainly have been off.

"Oh, yeah. It was off. Because it was a downstairs staircase."

If you go down that staircase, you should have returned again during the trials, as the great tree of Enunien said.

If you hit the stairs I'm on, you won't be able to meet me on the way.

It is forbidden to destroy walls and the like and to go through anything other than the way it should be.

Then I can think of...

"... a hidden passage?

When asked, Lyna nodded coldly.

I guess hidden passages can also count on the path that should be.

"When I was down the stairs, I remembered. I knew you'd been here before. I don't think Gunierre's stairs were the main road, so if you're looking for a wall, a hidden passage will show up like now."

I see.

So luck wasn't the only test to be dropped.

"You hear me?

Talk to everyone under your command.

"There also seems to be a hidden passage on the stairs outside. If we find it, it will lead us to the path that leads to the heavenly side. You should look."

"Okay."

"Mmm."

"I get it!

Misha and the others responded with an acknowledgement.

If it works, we'll all be able to reach the heavenly side.

"Well, Lyna. If you've ever been through here, you've been tested by spirits, haven't you?

When asked that, she twisted her neck.

"... um, you can't remember anything about being tested by the Spirit... but I feel like I went through the Gniere stairs to the heavens..."

Can't you just remember, or were you in a position to meet the Spirit King without being tried?

"Sure, I think there was a shortcut somewhere"

"That's what I'm looking for."

Use the magic of < Remote Clairvoyance (Limneto) > to reflect the vision of the Rays there.

I decide to move on while I show that to Lyna.

"If you remember anything, say it"

"Yeah."

I'm going up the stairs.

While following me, Lina was still gazing at Rays' sight as it appeared in Remote Clairvoyance.

Moving on for a while, the end of the stairs was interrupted.

"Hmm."

Faced out of it, he circled his gaze and saw a dozen or so cylindrical trees stretching toward the heavenly side. They are all the sizes a person can put in about three people.

Perhaps some of those cylindrical trees have stairs with rays and masses up them.

Looking down, I could see between trials.

"This is like a trial, isn't it?

Lina raises her voice and points to a wooden plate that was nearby.

- A test of wisdom and courage -

If you step out onto a path without a path, that is, a path appears.

This path will reject everything but courage and drop it into Nara.

"Hmm. You mean believe there's a way forward? Perhaps if you try to take safety precautions with the magic of flying, they will let you fall and fail."

Without hesitation, I set foot in the air.

Cottons, and footsteps. I guess there's an invisible staircase there.

"Follow me."

"... yeah"

Behind me, Lyna walks a little surprised.

Moving on for a while, I stopped.

"I'll call you back here."

Believing the dance floor on the stairs was there, I turned.

The tricks and legs step on the universe and go up the stairs that are folding back.

"... how do you know?

"Think about it. Every hundred steps up the stairs you've ever gone up, you'd have always folded back, wouldn't you? Everything was at the same intervals from the size of the dance floor to what. I can only assume that he was giving me some tips to try this trial."

It's a test of wisdom and courage.

Along with courage, wisdom was also being tested to see if they noticed it.

"... I couldn't care less about the number of stairs, let alone the size..."

"Right. Well, I don't mind. You just have to concentrate on remembering the shortcuts and what you did."

Lina said, staring at my back.

"Wow. You just looked like you were walking."

"What, this degree should be nothing but child deception. The further up you go, the less stringent the trials must be."

When I said so, Lyna stopped.

She turns to the side and stares into the void.

"What's wrong?

"... I remember... I feel... there must be a way here..."

The stairs fold back every hundred steps up.

Now from the dance floor, just around Sansan stage?

There shouldn't have been any particular hint to go sideways, but if Lyna says so, it's not strange that there's a way.

"Is that a hidden passage?

"Probably. But I don't know if it's a shortcut..."

Lina takes a step forward thinking about it.

It should be completely off the stairs, but she didn't fall.

There's a path you can't see.

"... me, can I go this way...? I feel like there was something important over here..."

With a true look, Lyna said so.

"Let's go together"

"Are you sure? Could be a long way around, huh?

"I think you should know who you are."

I know so much about the Spirit's school building, and I'm about to meet the Spirit King.

If she remembers, it could be a clue as to who the Spirit King is.

There is no more harm in keeping information in hand than it is unclear whether the Spirit King is an enemy or an ally.

"Thanks"

Nico laughs and Lyna goes on an invisible staircase.

I thought you were going up there, and the stairs were down.

"... after all, I think I'm going a long way to get to Heaven...?

"What, the Rays are on their way, too. It's not a bad idea to find out what's here."

Moving on further, Lyna stopped.

He reaches right in front of me and touches something invisible to me.

"Probably, there's a door here"

"Why don't you open it?"

Switch positions with Lina and reach into a space where you can't see anything.

Sure, the door-like feel conveys my fingers.

By hand, find the knob and turn it around.

No, I made an old noise, and the door opened.

I walked out into it.

"Ah..."

Lyna raises her voice.

As if I had repainted the world with a brush, one side turns into a flower garden.

Colorful flowers that I had never seen as red, blue or yellow were just blooming overflowing.

Wooden doors nestle on the hill where we are.

If we open this, we will be able to go back to where we came from.

"Do you remember anything?

"... uhh..."

He shook his neck sideways and Lyna stared at the flower garden in front of him.

How long have you been doing that?

Harari, and Shizuku of tears spill out of her eyes.

"... Oh, that...? That's crazy... what's going on...?

To the overflow of tears, Lyna wipes it with her hands, bewildered.

"I don't know... I can't remember at all... but I feel like I've been here many times..."

She walks out to be drawn to memories.

"Wait."

Grabbing her shoulder, Lyna looked back wondering.

"I know you're there. Show yourself."

Stick the Devil's Eye in the flower garden.

Then a black clan gathered in one place, and a demon clan with six horns appeared out of it.

It's Kaihilam Dyste, the cursed king.

"Sorry to surprise you, Demon King"

said the Cursed King in a female tone.

Do you still remain a dyste personality now?

"I was waiting for someone to come here. If you're here, you won't even notice the great tree of Enniunien. Because we can escape the Spirit King's surveillance."

I see no hostility.

In the first place, when it comes to dyste personality, magic is a few steps inferior compared to Kaihilam.

Whatever you're up to, you can't hurt me.

"Hmm. A mouthful that sounds hostile to the Spirit King, though?

Dyste nodded, and said.

"The Cursed King is in hiding. I didn't take the fall point, but on the orders of the Spirit King. If you want to take back the Cursed King, you're threatened to do exactly what I say, and the Gerard of the Cursed King went to Delzogate."

Was it in hiding, huh?

The body of the cursed king Kaihilam is the same as that of the dyste now here.

Is it possible to match only its roots with divine concealment?

Well, the Curse King himself is special, and his opponent is the Spirit.

It's not unlikely either.

It is also possible that Kaihilam's personality was sealed so that he could not appear on the table.

The Scarlet Monument King, whatever its sincerity, is now definitely under the Spirit King.

If the cursed king's subordination was threatened by the Spirit King, is it reasonable to assume that all three demons who came to Delzogate were moved by the thought of the Spirit King?

"Does the Pluto Aegis also have an association with the Spirit King?

"The Pluto is probably holding his men hostage. So, like me, I think I'm reluctantly in this spiritual school building."

Pluto Aeges said it was the work of the Spirit that the Four Evil Royals were fighting together.

If you wanted to help the subordinates, you should have explained the details to me, but then, you mean the life of the subordinates was in danger?

Well, Aegis is a proud man.

In any case, isn't it the kind of character that makes me look weak?

"At the behest of the Cursed King, Gerard had half the Devil's Sword. It's the looting sword Giglionojes owned by Sin Reglia. You know where I got it?

"... I think I got it from the Spirit King. So, you asked me to lure out Mass Iliologue."

Sin is in hiding.

It is not unnatural to think that the Spirit King took half the Devil's Sword and gave it to the Curse King's command.

"Who is the Spirit King?

Dyste shook her head left and right.

"... I don't know... But I think I've been in this ahalt hern for a long time, two thousand years. Soon after the demon king was reincarnated, the great spirit Leno disappeared, and then as a cauldron, I heard he was protecting the spirits."

Dyste draws a magic formation.

Magic particles gather and the figure there is depicted.

"Only once, I saw the Spirit King. He's like this."

What Dyste portrayed with magic is a full body armor of pitch-black and a disastrous mask.

He was the man who broke into Melhayce's Made < Dimensional Prison (Azeissis) > at that Demon Sword Games.
