It's over.

Rafer for Arseus.

It was quite a strong enemy, but I managed to defeat it by working with Ray.

Looking down, it looks like Dudley and the others have settled down.

The party leader, Manuza, is lying down in large letters.There are no more signs of counterattack.

Besides,

"Dudley, you...."

His change was, frankly, nothing but surprise.It's stronger than when I fought Formus earlier.

Did you notice my gaze, Dudley smiled. [M]

"What do you think? Skill [Silver Sword Saint]... I don't feel like losing to you anymore, do I?

I see. Why don't we fight later?

"Oops, you can do it now, right?

We're gonna stand up for each other.

"Hey, both of you.Stop it. "

Ray arbitrates like he's stunned.

"Ha... bad.I'm just kidding. "

I smiled bitterly, and now I reached out to Dudley honestly. [M]

"But I really appreciate it.I'm glad you're here. "

"Ahh...?

He was strong, wasn't he?Had it not been for Dudley, I might have struggled.So thank you. "

"Ah... thank you...?

Dudley shook his body for some reason, and he grabbed back my hand with a very violent move.

"Yes! It's not for you!I just did my best for M-chan!

"... what are you illuminated for?

"Oh, you're not illuminated, Master Leimira!!

Hmm.

Ray smiles deeply.

"Well, that's fine.It's better to be close. "

"" I'm not getting along!

Dudley and I got into it at the same time.

Fufu

Em stares at us with a smile.

... that's not what you're talking about.

Not all cases have been solved yet.

Again, I looked down at Rafer crawling on the ground. [M]

With Ray and I working together, the dark aura surrounding him disappeared.I didn't kill him, but he must have sustained a pretty deep wound.I won't be able to move satisfactorily for the time being.

"Gu... nu...!

Such a raffer wakes up with moaning.

"Gu... uhh..."

He slowly woke up his torso as he rubbed his head.

"Here..."

"Rafer. Looks like you're awake."

"You're... right.I guess I lost.... "

Raffer with a nostalgic expression.

Honestly, I'm relieved.

I was wondering what I would do if I suddenly burst out again, but I think I still have reason.

"Haha... Arios... you really are a great person.I didn't expect to defeat us.Gathering S-rank adventurers in the Kingdom won't be that easy. "

"Ah... maybe."

As I nodded, I fell on one knee and gazed at Rafer.

"... I want you to tell me about it.What were you doing here...?Where are we in the first place?

…………

Rafer closed his eyes and shut up for a few seconds.

Start talking slowly so that you have a smooth memory.

"I don't know the details of this space.I was just developing a path to the back while being guided by my inner voice. "

"Develop a path to the back...?

Ray rebukes his brother's words.

"Oh, the original Out Avnir didn't have a way.We developed it in a hurry. "

I see.

So you mobilized the Arseus Relief Party and the 19th Division.It must have taken quite a while to think about the long journey.

And one more thing.

The Prince's testimony just now contained worrying words.

"Rafer. What did you just say..." Inner Voice "?

"--a strange voice that only we can hear."

That was not Rafer's answer.

Manuza Byrens.

He seems to have regained consciousness, waking only his upper body.

Manuza said, "Wha...!"She continued her words as she rubbed her right arm.

"Is it (...) the same person who entrusted us with the stone... it is unclear, but it is true that it has been driven by an inner voice"

…………

This is what happens when we sort things out.

Rafer and Manuza were guided by The Voice of the Inner and came to this different dimension.

And you've come as far as the deepest part of it as you can be guided by that voice....

"Sure, this place is perfect for lurking..."

We can't build an experiment, we can't hide terrorists... nobody will notice us here.

"Well then... what are you going to do now?

M raised a natural question.

"Come to the back of Out Avnir... that's not the end, is it?I think there's still something going on. "

Hmm. That's right.

That's what Rafer said, looking at the gravel placed on the altar.

That shadowstone is huge.

The colors and shapes are exactly the same as the other stones, but they seem to be three times the size of normal stones.It is intimidating enough to feel the cold just by looking at it.

"Place that shadowstone on the altar.That seems to have been our mission.I have heard that breaking the strong chains that have existed for thousands of years..... "

"It has existed for thousands of years... strong chains...?

What is it?

I think I've heard similar stories somewhere....

--Oh, I could have left thousands of years ago.It didn't lead to a crusade.

The words of Pharaoh, the founder of the McBa-style.

The Great Enemy, which appeared thousands of years ago, said that even Pharaoh and the others could not achieve a crusade, and that they did their best by retreating.

--The Shadowstone is a relic of the "Great Enemy" in modern times.So we can create phenomena that we don't understand today.

The granite left by the great enemy.

By placing it here, you can break the chains that tie something up...?

No way!!

At the moment, something cold ran over my spine. [M]

".........!!

I hurried to the altar.

--But I didn't make it.

The stones enshrined on the altar suddenly began to shine creepy.

The surrounding area is dyed black.

- Liberation.

The descendant of Avnirno, Koko diphenari.Arseus is desperate.

and.

Suddenly, two huge doors appeared where it was thought to be on the wall.

From there, a familiar monster appeared.

"Whoa whoa whoa...!Seriously....!!

Dudley makes a crying voice.

Yes, it is.

The monster that has just appeared is a big enemy strongly rooted in my memory and that of Dudley.

A shadow of loneliness - Vanitaroa.

The monster appeared from the granite in the duel with Dudley.

But the details are slightly different from what they used to be.

Vanitaroa, who fought in the Battle Arena, had red eyes and glow - but now he's dyed in creepy blue.

"Ghoiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

Vanitathlore leans back and sounds a gruesome midsection.

It's as intimidating as ever.

"Bye, stupid....."

Raifer looks up at the vanitas lore with his eyes wide open.

"Impossible...Am I... moving to create such a monster...!?

"Mr. Rayfer...."

But not when you're immersed in your thoughts.

I know his horror with my own hands. [M]

Leave him alone - he'll definitely kill him.

"Mr. Arios... let me take responsibility."

Oh, my God.

Rafer stood up intentionally, even though he was supposed to be seriously injured.

"I'll take him down...!!You guys run...!!

"No! Fighting such a thing alone....."

But Rafer didn't have the ear to listen.

With a ready face to die, he plunges into Vanitaroa.

"Onii-sama!!

"Damn it...!

and.

It was that moment.

――――――

Accept. Accept.

The First King gave me the cheat code "% $".

Do you want to start?

――――――

A familiar message came to my attention.
