Over The Infinite

Ligaritian Empire.

A military state that bisects the Kingdom of Orendia and the continent and always has a front on its borders. Seven hundred years, unlike the kingdom of Orendia, which has more than a thousand years of history if it is to include pre-succession, it is a country with the precarious foundations and momentum of the late emerging nations.

The main method taken by the Empire to widen its prints was the annexation of disturbing states, which resulted in a huge state that retained the most vast territory on the continent, but many small states in the eastern part of the continent still continue to resist annexation.

Meanwhile, the last decade or so has also been marked by Northern pioneering, which has been considered untouched on a millennial basis in the past. The concentration of a large part of the border with the opposing Kingdom of Orendia in the north is the fundamental reason for the pioneering, but for the next decade or twenty years, such pioneering can also be called part of the Empire's expansionary policy for generations. Its pioneering business was also finally starting to bud, and a new generation on the ground was beginning to become a workforce.

It is only natural that the development of untouched areas has not taken place before, but the corresponding reasons exist.

It seems that even opening up harsh environments, unknown plagues, vicious monsters, vermin, and tiny areas will require military mobilisation. In such a harsh environment, it seems that the creation of multiple settlements in the last decade is due in large part to the support of a certain city.

Nevertheless, those living in the pioneering lands are unaware of those circumstances. What the inhabitants need is food and a living foundation to live in the present.

"And well, since you are the daughter of the village chief, it shouldn't hurt to know as much about how Pioneering Village was born. It could be useful somewhere."

A man in a mask while stabbing a pin in a map spread over a wooden table...... says the teacher.

I've never been down a mountain in my life.

"As I said earlier, it's dangerous outside the village. Except for the military, mercenaries, and those with the art of fighting like adventurers, I can't even travel without hitchhiking the merchants. And then there's the village men and all that."

"Fathers, you're strong."

It's hard to compare how much, but only to open up such a secret, and the men who live in the village are all confident in their arms. Exceptions are about children and teachers in front of them. Conversely, only a teacher can teach someone this kind of knowledge.

It does not constitute a direct workforce, but can be considered an indispensable and valuable person in other areas. Specifically, the risk of the village being devastated increases steadily when the teacher is gone. If you suck, even involve neighboring settlements.

"They're stronger than bad adventurers. It is also because of them that we live in safety. So I can immerse myself in research except to teach the few village children to study like this. Thank you."

The teacher lives in this village in the position of a doctor. He is a doctor, pharmacist and craftsman to be precise, and finally a teacher for his children, but his original profession seems to be that of an alchemist. I don't really know what an alchemist does, but that's what I'm talking about.

It seems that the mask you always wear also hides burns when you fail in an alchemy experiment.

... it should be worn for that purpose, but for some reason one side of the room was decorated with lots of masks. It seems stylish for the teacher to say, but honestly being surrounded by lots of masks seems to be watchful and unsettling.

He is a valuable craftsman who supports the foundations of the village, but he is also certainly estranged from some villagers. When I talk to her, she's a little different.

"How did the teacher come to this village when he could do all sorts of things?

"I guess it's a disagreement. Imperial capital has a lot of magicians and scholars and a lot of research, but there's also a lot of fighting over its faction valves. I'm in trouble."

"You mean a fight?

"No, I wonder if it's such a smile. If I hadn't run away at night, I'd have almost tied myself up."

It was a little unimaginable noise. Urban is scary.

"Well, not just this village, but all the pioneering villages in the north have something going on."

"I've never heard of it, but is that what we do?

"Even though it's a small pioneering village, its identity will be clear because it's enough to be entrusted with representation. I'm from the southern part of the continent, so I'm guessing there's something about coming this far away."

They do change the name of our family, including me. Most of them are called abbreviations, but they're names we all read twice.

"That's why it's not a good idea to pry into darkless arrow cod. I'm fine, but not everyone is."

"Yes."

Even as far as I know, it's like a misdemeanor, an ex-slave, or a wreck in the kingdom. It could expose unnecessary darkness. For now, because they're just good people for what they normally do.

"Uh, excuse me. I heard you can make medicine here..."

As we chatted a little away from our usual classes like that, a woman appeared unfamiliar from the entrance to the cabin.

Probably an adventurer to detect from that heavy weapon. He may be the applicant because he was recruiting because he thought he was going to massively interrupt a neighborhood monster.

But isn't it unusual for a female adventurer?

"Oh, the example adventurer. I wonder if he even got hurt."

"Ah, yes. Mercenaries belonging to the mercenaries suffered monster damage on their way here...... And if there's any surplus, I'd like to buy it for the future."

Confused by the teacher's mask, the female adventurer goes on without touching it.

"It doesn't seem rushed to see that, but what about the mercenary's condition that he was harmed?

Bruises and lacerations.

"Monsters and plants around here are a lot poisonous, so we might need to deal with that. Just give me a minute. I was wondering if Tilia could offer her a cup of tea."

So the teacher went outside the cabin. Probably headed to an outdoor warehouse to check stock.

"Oh, just sit down, please"

"Hi...... er, Mr. Tilia?

"Yes, this is the daughter of the village chief here."

The adventurer was tilting his neck. I don't think it's such a rare name if it's just Tilia. Rather, a woman adventurer would be rarer.

"Um, something...?

"Oh, no, I'm a little surprised because I'm also called Tilia"

"Oh, is that so? Sounds like the first person I met suddenly told me to make tea."

It's obvious, but there's no way I'm going to let my customers prepare tea, and I'm going to start preparing it.

The teacher's house is convenient because hot water is always available. Oh, I have cookies. Let's eat it in confidence.

"But it's unusual for a female adventurer. Or a mercenary?

"I'm an adventurer. I've never met a female adventurer, have I? According to my master, there are plenty of labyrinth cities."

Is there such a city? Women are the only things that seem to have a lot of handles.

"If you're asking for an example, it's a long stay, right? Let me tell you a lot if you like."

"Yes. Well, if you have time. I'd also like to hear about this area instead of gathering information. Monster emergence information, terrain."

At work, the adventurer still seems to care about the area.

"Yes, go ahead. The tea contract was hidden, so was this."

"Duh, thanks..."

The adventurer Tilia looks good, but she won't mind anything. It's just a bone powder cookie. Never, I don't dash and delude Mr. Adventurer because I want to.

"I'll show you to us later. I know you'd be surprised if I said your name."

"Uh, but the truth is, Tilia was nicknamed. My full name is Tiliatiel. It's confusing, so why don't we call ourselves Thiel during our stay?"

"What?"

"Huh?"

We solidified each other by introducing ourselves and reacting to it. Tilia looks anxious that something bad has been said. You look a little weak doing what an adventurer does.

"Uh, actually, I was also named Tiliatiel... that's an amazing coincidence"

... but what kind of coincidence is this? I don't think it's unusual to have the same name with such a rare name.

It's a forgotten encounter from the world.

Covered up, disguised, erased from anyone's memory, it is a coincidence.

-1 -

"Soo, Tilia, for sure. Tiliatiel. You, Recovery Srl '

I couldn't understand what you were saying to a name that came out too abruptly. The moment a word penetrates your brain, a word without so much context that you refuse to believe it's some kind of mistake. However, even adding the fact that it was a monster made of countless faces that emitted it, the name was distinctive.

It's not surprising that there are some deficiencies in the language converted in Translation, but the unique noun name should basically remain intact.

"... to?

On the other hand, the person whose name was called had a missing reaction between them.... This doesn't seem to make any sense at all.

But it's hard to even think of it as just a mistake.

"Part of God and the nall purpose is Dashita. De, on the other hand, Omae's presence is totally narui regular. Actual Ni Interesting... Interesting Yi, Next Unit Heto Maybe Food Tonal Ni '

By "God," you mean... the innumerable appearance? Are you telling me that this guy liked and integrated?

I feel some will come up on each end of the word. There are individuals who lead among the myriad intentions that are structured in a disorderly fold, calling on them to come here. Or as if this is the smallest unit as an unlimited appearance. Covering this celestial body, you think the flock of faces we've chopped up is less than even the smallest unit?

"More unity with Almighty. That makes the world one. Oh, God, I wish I were more sinful!

The figure made me think of just one fanatic rather than a coexistence of a large number of intentions.

- Action Magic.

A collection of faces named Nirvana Silence swelled and burst.

We rush to intercept, but the scattered fragments do not attack us, but assimilate us to the faces that were around us.

I don't know what happened, but it's no reason to loosen your guard in this situation.

"Everybody, take a dense formation!! Get out of this hall while you're alert!

If you're gone like this, you can move on, but there's nothing like that gag where all those meaningful beings just came to rupture.

Shortly before it burst, he activated some kind of skill. I don't know its effect, but something that affects the surrounding face in a situational way......

A collection of faces, similar to Nirvana silence, takes shape at the tip of the splash before everyone gets in position. The whole thing is smaller than the first collection, but does not match the mass and appearance. At least, it didn't feel like the total volume had decreased. But I don't even think of it as a skill that simply adds more individuals.

"... a mask?

A collection of faces that start to stand upright as they get up make up their bodies A different face than that...... wearing something like a mask. It gave the impression that it embedded things that should be where they were supposed to be.

"The Unbehaved Lose the Root of Being With the End of The Realm of Fame."

"The end of the world is a ritual for integrating with God and becoming part of it"

"Discarded Shells Are Dolls"

"Let's fill the empty hole with a tentative appearance."

"Automatic doll for lost appearance and name and further collection"

"If something is to be lost eventually, I will use it effectively"

"As Nirvana's Fingers, My Hands and Feet"

With some proclaimed word, the facial assembly changes its appearance.

That's a snail of a person. Probably the same thing as Kaonashi. But something's different. I'm not just saying I put a mask on a face area that doesn't exist. Unlike the kaonashi that was moving automatically, I feel a clear will.

"... adventurer"

Shaped kaonashi are human. Probably the same labyrinth city adventurer we are. Perhaps those who were deprived of their faces in The Realm of Namelessness.

If it's just an adventurer's kaonashi, I've fought so many. But I can tell that that standing alone is something else. Obviously some kind of hand is being applied.

A huge mass pounded the floor just around the corner. That's the sound of Berenvar standing behind me on my left.

"... Berenvar"

"Oh yeah!! I imagined that was happening! It's not a big deal. At best, it's to the extent that I dated a mock battle during my voyage. But even if that's all I had to do with it, I've seen it!! You can't possibly be allowed to do business like this!

There's only one of us, Berenvar, who unleashes emotions by the time they're violent.

"Damn!! Why me? Why am I the only one who remembers this?!?"

I know why you can't empathize with that anger that explodes.

Kaonashi standing in front of us...... The human form known as Nirvana's finger must have been made of materials for those who are marginal to us.

We only have the perception that we probably will be. Because the very foundation that grieves it is being usurped.

Berenvar is just one person, suffering from a fall from us who can't understand grief.

A tiger beast man with a long weapon barks. That was the signal and multiple Nirvana fingers moved out.

Fox beast man in high waste. A female knight with a fine sword. Far from the ceiling are multiple archers connecting bows. Golden knights united in the same arms. Many magician-like people were also seen, and a raven-winged birdman unfolded a magic formation in its center. What is seen in Nirvana's fingers, which come packed with distance to crush from all around them, is not disorderly behavior, but neat troop behavior.

Immediately thereafter, everyone moves into a combat posture.

- Action Skill: Power Slash

"Huh!?"

Lizardman Kaonashi, who fleshly came to my front, wrapped a green light around the song knife and released his wapon skills.

The movement belonged to a purified adventurer and was a familiar one.

The body reacts. Over and over again, he said he took that sword and made it his own flesh.

Upon receiving the sword in the smallest motion, Lizardman takes a small distance. It minimizes the effects of post-move rigidity and performs further pursuits while stopping counterattacks.... I know it well. Yet I don't.

Blurred vision. Receive swords rolled out one after the other with blurred vision.... Am I crying?

"Ahhh!!"

I raised my voice and waved my sword. I was supposed to say something, but I was speechless.

Every word I want to say has disappeared and turned into a giant cavity. No matter how much you strip that cavity, there's nothing left.

- Action Skill.

It is the blade of possibility that strikes from all directions that is released.

... Oh, I know that skill well. Extremely difficult to deal with. I just prevented it from the front, and one of them hits. That's what this is all about.

That's why we recieve all of that. The image remains strongly in the body. A knot of swords that don't give anything away. Because the sword kingdom I learned in the Four Divine Nerves embodies that image.

Play, drop, and recieve. I would argue that this is my territory. I can't be immature enough to keep everything from happening. But I don't get fatal injuries. Can you take it? Do you admit what the doll unleashed?

- Action Skill: Power Slash

Don't wait to cut off all sword strikes, move forcefully to counterattack. It's the Power Slash of Return of Interest that releases.

Not a good hand in a situation with a large number of enemies around. But I felt I should.

- Skill Chain: High Power Slash

My body moves on its own, even if it's slightly more forceful. It's like they're telling you to do that.

... Oh, I wonder why. Why do you make me so sad? But I just used the basic Weapon Skills collaboration. I don't know what you think you want to show me when you grow up.

- Skill Chain: Maximum Power Slash

Lizardman falls ill by hitting a series of hits directly. The next target is a heterogeneous spot that anyone can see. Hit the sword on Lizardman's mask with all your might.

The biggest difference between normal Kaonashi and Nirvana fingers is this mask. Then it's not unnatural to assume that this has some effect. Whether it's a weakness or not, it would be worth a try.

And he also had some pale desire that maybe it would go back to normal with it.

There's no way there's such a convenient story. We know that there is no such easy remedy. There's no way that such a monster could let go of what he took once.

But I couldn't help but seek salvation there. I was looking for an easy remedy. In the end too bad, my heart is screaming.

Despite the tricks prepared by the paranormal presence, the mask was shattered too lightly.

I had a response. The shattering feel of the mask is conveyed through the sword. Not a great deal of strength. This is just a mask......

Peeping from under the slapped sword is Kaonashi, as you can imagine. There is no material for who this is. There can't be a way to break the mask and get back to normal.

I wasn't expecting it. It's so easy, there's no way you can get what you lost back. I know. Oh, shit......

I shook my sword off as it was. I can handle a lot of damage, but I can't even pin my Nirvana finger down.

Lizardman even uses the beaten momentum to jump and turn to me for more meat. I don't use a sword, I don't use some skill, I just straighten it out so much that I think it's a body hit.

And the impending kaonashi blew up until recently.

"Shit!!"

The aim is not the damage caused by the explosion. The scattered kaonashi returned to countless faces, all of which reached out for the seizure.

Just look at the behavioral pattern, it's the same as your previous face. But more active and aggressive means. A hot, malicious attack, even a suicide bomber.

I can't deal with it in time to reach out and jump back. Regardless of the Lizard Man we were meeting just before, if it's just a face, we can do anything to earn distance. Only thing to be wary of is Nirvana's fingers. And it's the next hand in Nirvana silence.

I didn't want to jump away, but I tried my best to rip him off, and a lot of bullets passed to where I was until then.

If you look him in the eye, Tomato has a sub-machine gun there. The beautiful bow that was nearby just nodded when he looked at me.

-2 -

"Go through this hall as densely as you can! Be alert to seizures by suicide bombers! Keep your beauty bow just aimed at your face and hands!!"

In addition to being surrounded in all directions, the passage leading to the back is blocked.

You don't have to deal with these guys. We have to move on somehow.

In particular, it is a matter of concern that communication with Ladine has been completely cut off from around the appearance of Nirvana's fingers.

"Stronger than Kaonashi so far, but less collaborative. There's nothing you can't do if you separate your actions."

He's got two lightly equipped warriors, Gaul says over his back.

"The guy who's flying will snipe if he shows a slight gap. We have to do something about it..."

The wingman near the ceiling, Clarice says, is not aimed at simultaneous fire, but only at individual sniping.

An arrow that is unleashed to surprise you every time you act will be aimed more at supporting the avant-garde than at damage. Just because they're flying limits our behavior.

Tilia and Moyer are stopping by the two of us. Tiger beasts and ravens preparing the great sorcery in the back are also dangerous, but the first thing to do is process the top. Originally, archers dancing near the ceiling should be done by Beauty Bow, an expert in flying tools, but you can't just leave running to the guy at last. But you can't just leave it.

Tomatoes don't have enough firepower. Berenvar's "engraving technique" should have run out of shooting magic before he came here. When that happens, the hands available are limited.

"Yuki, Moya, Sky Dragon! Whatever, shut up those guys in the air!! Gaul turn to Tiger Beast Phantom support!

It's tough as an additional demand to do while dealing with one Nirvana finger after another, but I just have to get it done.

Regardless of the sky dragon with a means of ranged attack by witchcraft, all Yuki and Moya can do is throw weapons at best. At this distance, Clear Hand is also in range, but adding to that is not enough trouble.

"Tsuna!! The flying guy will deal with me and Chimera!

Wyburn's wings spread on the back of the chimera at the same time Berenvar said so.

Well...... nothing has to be finished with a long range attack. If you can get in close proximity, that's fine. Chimera can fly, and Berenvar can use the ceiling, even if there are restrictions.

"Please, be careful."

Berenvar on the back of the chimera leaves at the same time as the wingman releases an arrow. Moved straight to the ceiling.

You shouldn't be able to stick with the ceiling that long anyway, but keep changing directions and jump. After finishing the wingman's unity, it is retrieved by the flying chimera and leaps again. Until Berenvar was recovered, the chimeras also extended their arms to the walls and ceilings and continued to assault the wingers as they made a rapid swirl. The two linear and tricky orbits flirt with the Wingmen and instantly improve their results.

"Tuna... you know"

"What?

During the battle, Yuki accidentally spoke. He's usually a chatty guy, but he's also a guy who doesn't say anything that has little to do with a word or two at best, even if it's in battle. You wouldn't even be joking at this time.

"He said it was the smallest unit, but it doesn't mean the goal is just here, does it?

"... right"

I even thought about it. But even so, it's not like we can do anything.

Perhaps there is a similar sight going on elsewhere where resistance continues. Or the adventurers we're fighting right now could be the ones there.

Perhaps Nirvana's fingers are not Kaonashi itself, but mimic it. I guess those guys with everything connected can do it instantly enough to copy the subject they took away.

What you can imagine as the place where the Nirvana silence appears is here and Kugelschreiber, the shelter where the residual group is evacuated, and then Mr. Glenn and the center of the ruins where the realm dragon headed. It's dangerous wherever they drop it.

And the worst yet is not limited to appearing in each place, other than that… it is possible that there is also a large number of appearances on the road. In other words, even if we make it through this scene now, it is possible that another individual is waiting for us before we withdraw. No, I guess it almost is.

Whatever, there are too few targeted beings in this world. There can't be enough hands for a guy like him to exist on a celestial scale.

But even if I knew that, I didn't have room to cut through here and head for reinforcements.

In a situation where unilateral attacks from the air have been stopped, there are two obvious threats that remain.

Tiger beasts and ravens that Tilia and Moyer are stopping because of the two of them. Tigers, though on the one hand, are suppressed with Tyria at the centre.

"Yuki, if I finish the guy in front of me, I'm going in!! Stop that great sorcery!! Sky Dragon and Clarice follow!

"Ok!!"

At this point, there is no choice but to break the dense formation. There's no way I can leave you alone, and I don't have the means to do this from a distance.

Unlike the wingmen in the air, there are many escorts. If so, even if it's slightly forceful, we'll set up a raid from the front and leave!

- Action Skill: Power Slash

- Action Skill "Spin Edge"

I don't need todome. An attack that just creates time to take action.

Me and Yuki created a gap in the golden warrior in front of us at about the same time, with minimal effort. I'll leave the rest to Sky Dragon and Clarice.

I can put my strength at my feet. Keep going in with Boost Dash...

But the thought was shattered. Yuki noticed too, stop that leg.

"... you're kidding"

"... no kiri, dude"

Nirvana fingers appeared again in the blank area that was supposed to rush past us.

That figure includes the Lizard Man I put in place, and the Kaonashi who has crushed his mask so far. The mask that should have been crushed is back to normal.

The chaos with Nirvana's fingers, which soon came to regenerate, began.

If you look near the ceiling during the battle, it still doesn't look like it's diminishing there either.

The masked Nirvana fingers are not the only ones to be regenerated. At the same time, the same person doesn't seem to show up, but the guy who blew himself up at the damaged stage plays it as well.

Damn, not good. It's taking too long.

In a hurry, I saw the light overflow from the magic formation in the back.

- Action Magic "Havens Pilar" -

In the end, I couldn't inhibit it, and I activated the magic as it was.

But nothing has happened, even though we were deploying such a massive magic formation.

"Hey, something's coming! Extraordinary huge mass coming from above!!"

It was Sky Dragon who detected it early. I also felt the magic flow pushing through the ceiling and stretching up late.

"Gather 'em all!!"

Huge vibrations rock the whole hall at the same time I scream. No, it's not just the hall that's shaking. This underground passage itself is vibrating.

The next moment. Huge columns appeared in the central part of the hall, rising from the floor of the hall to the ceiling.

It appears to have suddenly appeared, but this is what came down from the top. And countless pillars fall continuously, not one of these.

Bad. The tunnel collapses. I can't even stand on a floor or ceiling that starts to collapse.

Despite that situation, the Nirvana fingers don't mind launching an attack. Don't tell me there's no harm to be done.

"Damn............!!"

Pay for the Lizardman sword attack you've raided again. Shortly afterwards, columns fell at close distances of a few meters.

It's not dangerous to run anywhere, but it's more dangerous to just stand still. He dies when he eats a direct hit of a pillar.

The ground is already peering through some of the ceilings. What I saw there were countless pillars.

A huge noise sounded and there was a huge hole in the floor.

Even though this is the underground tunnel, what you see below is a cavity. There is a vast, invisible space at the bottom.

I don't know why there's such a cavity, but I'm just sorry if I fell into this place.

"Haaaa!!"

Gaul's voice rang from side to side. In that direction, the figure of Gaul and Moyer falling down before the fierce tiger beast man. Neither Tilia, who stands alone, has broken the attack.

- Action Skill.

A giant long-held weapon of the Tiger Beast Man was slammed on the floor that continued to collapse.

Whether the impact of running in circles from there has become todomy, the floor of the entire hall collapses.

My body danced the universe. No scaffolding.

In the midst of the fall, what I saw was Nirvana's fingers trying to chase us through the columns that continue to descend and the structures that continue to collapse, and his face coming in like a turbulent avalanche from the hole that leads up. And he was the figure of a beautiful bow who tried to shelter himself from that face and thrust the sky dragon.

-3-

"... Nah!! Tuna!

Interrupted consciousness is evoked by screaming.

I don't even know when I lost my mind, as if what happened before was a dream.

Yuki's voice, audible in a semi-awakening state, was screaming and gave him a glimpse that he had no time to faint for a long time.

"Yuki...... Huh!!"

When I wake up in a hurry, I get a severe headache running on my head. Did you hit him in the head... No, from that situation, should I be lucky to be alive?

"Good. He said he might not wake up because he was hitting the area while he was falling..."

"Damn...... how long have you lost your mind? What's going on here?"

"It's only been about a minute since I collapsed. This is... maybe even more underground in the basement. I don't know why there's such a cavity."

Is it dark because the lights in the basement haven't arrived? Items, magic or light emitters floating in the universe to look around, but not very good vision.

"Perhaps, ■ ■... it was the work of General Wu Long who raided us on our way here. I don't know if it was intentional or if it had any purpose, but it must have been moving through the ground."

Berenvar appeared from behind the darkness.

You think he's got holes all over the ground? For once, that is also the cause of the collapse just before joining Gaul......

"Hey, what happened to the others!?"

"It's you, Yuki and me, Tilia, Sky Dragon and Clarice who are here. Gaul and I were completely separated. Just before the collapse, I had it headed for the chimera, but I don't know if we could rendezvous or be safe."

Damn...... It's not just a busy situation.

I remember. I still remember. Even the numbers should fit. Even the beautiful bow swallowed in his face has not yet been seized.

"We don't have much time to rest. The number of faces is small, but it is not known when it will collapse again. Nirvana, not if you can't find it in silence."

"Oh......"

I felt lightheaded just standing up with Yuki's hand. It's a good place to start your head and bruise your whole body, but I'm used to this.

According to the Sky Dragons, who were looking for a way to travel while guarding their surroundings, the hole we fell in is completely filled by the collapse.

They said there were several paths that seemed to be able to travel, but I don't even know where it leads. I can barely tell the direction by magic detection, but I'm suspicious that I can move in that direction.

"In the worst case scenario, there is a hand that I make my way out of Expression... because it is likely to be buried alive"

"That's a last resort."

The same goes for the danger of being buried alive, but it is also a problem that the magic power of the Sky Dragon is depleted. It would be suicidal to devote resources other than combat in this situation.

"Speaking of which, don't Tyria know why they're after us?

Yuki walking in front of us asks.

"Excuse me, but just... but"

"But?"

"That mask... looks familiar... like it's not"

It's a reaction that doesn't get the guidelines, but I guess the line of total irrelevance is thin. Because they are paranormal beings without common sense, it is possible that they were involved just because they do not remember.

In the first place, he said he was here to retrieve Tilia, but if it was possible, he should have been willing to retrieve them all. Finally, I don't even think they'll miss it if there's an individual other than him. Whatever his thoughts, he just fights and resists.

"Berenvar... was the one in your memory who was robbed and fucked up? In any way."

"There he is. Most of the people who fought there are the mainstay of Kugelschreiber. If it's just combat power ■ ■ ■ ■...... that tiger beast man should be third. What's going on with the shelter that he was hitting defense more than he was there as a kaonashi...... no, not even a kugelshriver"

The one who overwhelmed Moya, Gaul and Tilia.

Damn, it's troublesome not knowing who's sacrificing. Even if Berenvar can match the answers, it's only natural for him to remember. I don't care if I have time, but I also waste my time doing that.

"... if the tiger is third, then on top of that is Mr. Glenn and... who?

Berenvar stopped.

Not good...... I can't remember. I know there's only one guy with intense fighting power, but I'm losing my memory of what it's like.

"Are you saying that you were robbed until the stupid... ■ ■ ■ ■ ■? I'm not kidding."

"... are you such a bad opponent?

"Oh shit.... sucks. There's no way I can deal with that. General Wu Long is the kind of guy who overwhelms you with everything."

What is that... can there be such a guy?

... No, more than that. There are even royal dragons, gergials, and innumerable figures in this world. The problem is that a guy like that can only appear as an enemy up there. It would be a copy, but no matter how much you spec it down, it won't be a battle.

"A man as tall and skinny as I am. He doesn't look like a human, but he's a vampire. If Nirvana's fingers show up, one of the escape hands... they won't even forgive me, but don't even think about fighting me if I'm wrong."

Vampires... I guess I shouldn't compare that, although I have combat experience with Lotte if it's just the race.

As long as you're here, you mean ex-monster adventurer or guild employee?

"Hih...... ugh!!"

That's how he moved on, screaming clogged Clarice, who was ahead of him.

If we approached him, there was a space beyond him that seemed to be the underground tunnel we were passing through. It collapsed and fell, but the passage is spread under my eyes, probably because I was climbing up at some point.... I don't care about that, but at least the aisle isn't a situation that seems like it could be used for travel.

The passage is filled with turbulence on the face about inside. It is impossible to travel in such a way unless that is also the junction of the realm dragon.

"There must have been a little crack-like space ahead of us. We're gonna go around."

You can no longer even call it a cave, just go through the gaps in the ground and move on.

"It's okay, it's okay, the beautiful bow isn't dead. I still remember..."

Clarice squeaks like a spell. You must be resisting to forget by rebelling your memories.

"I'm fine. He's more than me when it comes to keeping himself safe. I don't know how, but he's gonna get away with it."

"Blah... please don't put your hands on your head"

"No, I was in just the right position."

I guess I'm feeling a little better. As far as the expression goes, I know what you think.

"All right, it's the Kugelschreiber departure site."

I was also thinking about the possibility of stuck on a road that was no way to go, but unexpectedly I reached my destination lightly.

Kugelschreiber's departure site underground. Apparently it led to a crack in the wall.

For the purpose of using it as a shelter, the number of faces stuck in the aisle is low. Probably blocked by the bulkhead at the entrance. The result is that the roundabout was the right one.

Berenvar cracks open a slight gap in the wall. Pretty handy on sturdy material, but managed to secure the size that people were likely to get through.

"Sounds like it would be quicker to get downstairs once. I'll kick your face first."

There's a distance to the ground, but there's nothing we can't jump off. Berenvar was set to lead the way in securing safety on landing.

The elevator is probably not working. I wouldn't know if I didn't check, but I should have considered that unlikely. It will be easy to go straight to the stairs after everyone gets down.

Leaps down to some distance while Berenvar sticks to the wall. I called in silently when I swept away the face on the floor.

We fly towards the place. To this situation, no one hesitates. Keep waiting for everyone to land and rush out in the direction of the stairs.

... It was that moment.

"Mitsuketa"

Zowari and chills run all over his body.

The shelter bulkhead opened at a time like I had been waiting for, and literally a swarm of tsunami-like faces poured in from behind it.

"Run!!"

Everyone is running without me telling them, but I couldn't help screaming. There's nothing I can do if I'm swallowed up by something like that.

Instantly my face fills up. Fill it up.

Hardly reached the staircase on the outer wall and began to run up as it was, but the flood on his face was imminent right next to his feet.

"Berenvar! Empty Dragon! Get ahead and be safe!! I don't know what's up there for this minute!!"

When you hear my words, you climb up to Berenvar and Sky Dragon without the stairs or anything.

For this amount of money, the same amount of faces could come into an avalanche. If that happens, there's no escape, but you should be wary of some kind of obstacle. In the first place, you can't want to fight in concert on the stairs or on the dance floor along the way.

Run. Just run without thinking about fighting or anything.

From behind, imminent threats from below are already in the realm of disaster. Even the slightest gap in retrospect is dangerous.

In the middle of it, for some reason, my memory comes back like a running light.

I remember < Four Divine Nerves >. Speaking of which, this situation resembles that staircase where Genocide Mantis fought death.

It was Sargess who preceded him then, except... Speaking of which, where is he?

The fact that we haven't forgotten means that we haven't been robbed, but we don't know the trend.

Serafina is probably sticking to a dylk she can't move...... The same goes for Silver Dragon and Xuanlong, but should we assume that all those who have not grasped it are on Kugelschreiber?

... No, that's not what I'm thinking right now. Now just run!

At about half way to the ground, there was a hard distance from my face.

There is a slight lag in the tiglia, but it does not seem to be so much that it is simply a matter of foot speed or weight of equipment that it cannot move due to fatigue.

I'll follow you in the back and prepare for the worst. All right, keep it up...

Soon after even allowing such slight optimism, the chills run again.

Sharpened sensory abilities in extremes are alarming of danger to death. An unprecedented sense of death is imminent.

Far above, the explosion sounds.

Keep your eyes open. Ignore the blast and face the danger. A moment of chi alarm is the right thing to do.

In the blast, it was a masked man with a giant sickle and bat feathers on his back who descended from the top.

Around it there are familiar...... but red piles unfolding in amounts and sizes similar to those known.

-4-

- Action Skill "Crimson Blood Pile" -

Released is the same skill Lotte once unleashed in < Castle of Blood >.

Piles strike at speeds that are not even visible.

"but ahhhhh!!"

A pile ejected at a density like a storm relentlessly chooses my body. With viciousness that doesn't even exist a gap to cut it off.

The stairs collapse. The scaffolding is gone. On the verge of falling, I felt a rope tangle in my hand and held it back.

Bloody yuki at the end of the rope. In front of it lies Tilia, whose shield is half broken. Behind it, Clarice struggles to help Tilia wake up.

Just one shot of skill. That alone put us in a state of total annihilation.

- Over Skill.

The red light blinked in the corner of my vision.

That light, similar to the color of blood, was violent in shape and flew in to prune my life.

I understand that there is no way to prevent it just by looking at it. Too overwhelming a difference in force. Unbridgeable differences exist, regardless of the circumstances or conditions that are unsuitable for combat. It's a difference that cannot be overridden in a legitimate way.

Standing in front of you is an unprecedented and powerful enemy. A threat with an unlikely difference in strength in the condition of head-on killing each other.

"Ahhhhhh!!!!"

- Action Skill "Forced Startup: The Starvation Beast" -

I couldn't have seen the beast of cause and effect in me, and I roared to narrow the difference slightly.

Let go of Yuki's rope and kick the pile that was poking deep into the wall.

At the rate he was born with fierce leg strength, he fleshes to a stagnant vampire.

I feel an unprecedented sense of unity, even though it was forced to start. At the same time, he felt even his soul shredded.

Not so far away.... and that's not enough. The beast is screaming that this is not the person I can defeat right now.

- But you found out!

- Action Skill

Maximum firepower I can provide against vampires. Knock it all in. With the willingness to shatter any obstruction.

But there's no interception I was wary of. Eat straight into the vampire's shoulder and decide the body to such an extent that it might even reach the heart.

The reaction I feel from < no ghost cut > is the feeling of a vampire's torso burning. The Ghost Special Attack is active.

But, but. I was in a rage over an attack that went by so easily.

The mouth painted on the vampire mask looked caught.

- Action Magic "Vampire Territory" -

Vampires activate their skills while still being cut by the body.

Probably that's what I was after from the start. If you don't have to defend yourself or attack me with all my might, that's what you're doing.

They grab my arm. I can't shake it off. I can't get any power into the grabbed part. No, there's a rapid spread of weakness from there to the whole body.

This is Blood Sucking. Probably starting to absorb blood around him indiscriminately, mainly this guy.

Together with the depletion of The Hunger Stormbeast, my vitality is rapidly losing.

- Action Skill "Payne Zapper" -

The next moment I was ready to die, Berenvar descended from just above the vampire.

The figure is applied to the blood and lacerations, indicating that he would have interacted with the vampire just before.

But the sword, which would have been unleashed in readiness to die, was blocked by a sickle waved with one hand. No, it wasn't just blocked, it was amputated.

Berenvar abandoned his sword as it was and was thrown away wondering if he had grabbed my arm.

I just want to ask you to add a little more palm, but I know you can't afford that.

Thanks to this, it reached the critical staircase. It arrived, but my body was in a state where there was nothing more I could do.

The effects of The Hunger Stormbeast have already expired. Besides, this is still under the influence of the Vampire Territory.

"It's the last remnants. Take it!!"

- Action Skill

A black flame rises from Berenvar's body.

Magic for melee wrapping flames around your whole body. It's not meant to be damaging, it would be a hand for leaving.

"Sky Dragon!!"

A slight stepping stone brought about by Berenvar. At that time, the dragon's roar rings.

If you look up, the main body of the sky dragon must be peeking into your face.

- Action Skill: The Roar of Return to Nothingness

A brace released from the mouth of a dragon involved everything linear and struck directly at the vampire.

A blow that wears through the walls of the shelter and wipes out a large number of faces approaching the bottom. Literally, a trump card infused with all of Sky Dragon's magic, but no more warmth would have been possible. No more timing and power.

... the problem is that this ultimate blow won't be enough to kill him.

We still don't know how aggressive Sky Dragon's braces are, but that doesn't work on him without any relation. I'm so sure.

The vampire came out of the brace's irradiation range as if nothing had happened. And the pile of red that unfolds again. Aim... everyone around me.

Already, my health is at the bottom. "The Hunger Storm Beast" doesn't regenerate wounds that should be curable either. It's so deadly that it doesn't even seem possible to get up. We cannot avoid such massive piles. There's a miracle, and I avoided all the bullets, and it seems I just cut through the attack with one hand. I can't connect next.

What are we gonna do? I ran out of hands. The pile will soon be released and will decide us. There is an impending turbidity in your face just below.

- Action Skill "Crimson Blood Pile" -

At the same time the pile was released, he stood in front of me. The shattered tower shield, the plate armor, the raw one is bloodier, and it's supposed to be difficult to even stand like me.

"You know what, Mr. Leader? The role of the tank is not to let anyone die until they do it."

"Ti... Ria, stop..."

"A little, I remember. … I have to be Tiliatiel"

Countless piles shred Tilia's shield, crushing armor and wearing her body.

Tilia was still standing in front of me when the pile stopped raining. With a number of piles pierced and pierced.

As if, if the "Crimson Blood Pile" could be prevented, the role was only at the end, its body collapsed and fell off the edge of the stairs.

"Oh...... Ahhhhhhh!!"

Tilia's body is swallowed up in her face. be seized. I don't have the power to stop it anymore, I can only be blamed for my saved helplessness.

Vampires who just unleashed the attack are alive and well. It doesn't even look like there's any damage to The Roar of Return to Nothingness.

Tilia was being poked at by the reality in front of her, saying that the last force she grabbed was just a few seconds ahead of her.

"Tuna......"

If you noticed, Yuki was close by. equally worn out, without even walking in a busy manner.

"Tuna."

"Tuna."

"Watanabe Tsunami"

Yuki calling my name over and over again. Obviously things are not right.

"... Yuki?

"Observation of the Watanabe Tsunami is judged to be a limit. I will now exercise observer authority. '

"You... what did you say..."

Red eyes swayed. At the next moment Yuki stands up as if nothing had happened and grips the weapon backwards.

The look I gave over my shoulder for just a moment didn't belong to Yuki, who I knew well, but gave me the impression of a mechanical, wax doll somewhere.

- Action Skill

Intense magic rises. It was dense and emitted intense light, even compared to that of the sorcerer.

Completely unknown skill. It's too uncomfortable to say that I just remembered.

At the next moment, Yuki's body disappeared and the light could play.

- Action Skill

Yuki, appearing in front of the vampire's eyes, pays his sword at an unrecognizable rate.

Vampires reacting on the verge shook up the sickle to intercept it. It's just that much action, and the pile that was redeployed disappears.

What... what's going on? I'm an observer. What is Yuki doing?

- Action Skill "Cyclone Rush"

A vampire sickle dances. A sickle shaking like a storm turns into a ruthless blade that slashes off everything that comes close.

But Yuki kicks the universe of nothing and keeps paying for it all with his sword.

- Action Skill: Rapid Storm

A series of attacks that trigger only the return of Cyclone Rush. White rabbits run through the sky as they emit red light.

I don't know anything like that. Yuki shouldn't remember anything like that.

It was a sight that was unrealistic as if he claimed to be someone else himself.

An unintentionally huge vibration struck the entire shelter.

I don't know the cause. It is natural that if we continue to destroy this much, something will go crazy. And naturally, the stairs, which were just painfully kept in shape, collapse without withstanding the vibrations.

As I fell to my face, what I was feeling was not fear or despair, but a sense of loss of too much.

A few moments until you are swallowed by your face feel like an eternity. The figure of Yuki I saw in it seemed like a completely different being, just the same looking.

The turbidity in my face swallows me up.

I had already lost my temper to resist, waiting for the time of usurpation just to be flushed.

- Is this where you end up?

I feel the beast of cause and effect talking to me.

- You're giving up everything? -

Or maybe that's my own word.

- That would be nice, too. Nobody stops it. Because that's not one decision.

I can't feel the colour of blame in that voice. Maybe you really think that's okay.

- Either way, Watanabe Tsuna's game board is collapsing. Just a little bit more, and the pain just keeps coming.

What the hell do you want me to do? What should I have done? Are you saying there was a way to avoid this ending?

- No. I just didn't give up, and all I have to wait for is further despair -

What more can I do for you?

That's what only those who keep fighting should know.

Then this must be the end of me.

- Maybe so. But even if you give up, there are those who keep fighting...

fading consciousness. A fading presence. Feeling my fading soul, I saw it.

In this irresistible situation, the figure of those who continue to resist.

"Sir..."

In the turbulence of my face, I saw a strange man who wasn't supposed to be there.

-5-

"... What is this place?

Waking up was a continuation of hell.

I look up to heaven with a smile on my face, and my body remains worn out. And there's a big hole in my heart.

Are you awake?

"... Berenvar"

Equally worn out, a man staring down at me wondering why he's standing.

"The restorative magic of the item and" engraving "only allowed for treatment far from being fully healed. I almost stopped holding it."

Apparently, some of this is still the result of the recovery.

"What the hell happened? What happened to Yuki?"

Yuki...... yes, I still remember. What happened to Yuki?

"... I don't know what he did. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ I didn't see the fight until the end."

It would be that vampire's name you don't recognize. Berenvar has been struck again, so much so that he has no energy to supplement it.

"If you're awake, let's go."

"... to where?

Where do we go to escape any further?

"Looks like Kugelschreiber has set off. I checked the small boats, but they were all broken. Even if you run into a corridor between worlds, you're still alive."

"It feels like you don't want to be rude."

But I'm afraid it sounds a little better than the impotence so far. Besides, if the Kugelschreiber had been launched, there would still have been salvation.

Corridors between worlds are of the same nature as dungeons. In other words, once in, there will be a discrepancy in time. Even a few moments later, there will be no such thing as being pursued. The problem is if something was going on on on the labyrinth city side too......

"When..."

Force your painful body to wake up. Honestly, I don't know why he's alive, but he's not dead because he's in pain.

"Dear Watanabe, Good..."

Apparently, Sky Dragon also managed to be safe. But even if it seems safe at first sight, the magic should be depleted. You can't expect power as much as we do.

It was Clarice who came late to Sky Dragon. Leaning silently. If all that had happened, there would be no choice.

... Four. There are only four of them.

A short silence flows.

It was the light that broke the air in the distance.

"The kingdom... your brother..."

Sky dragon squeaks. Apparently, the realm dragon succeeded in rebuilding the boundaries.

... That guy is amazing. I can't believe I shake off the immortal Kaonashi Wu Long and rebuild my ties "alone".

I don't know if that makes sense. I want to believe there is, but I couldn't even be so optimistic about it.

Too many sacrifices were made. The details were taken from every memory, and I have no idea how many sacrifices there were.

But the size of the hole in my heart tells the story of its sacrifice.

And I don't know why, but in that emptiness, I felt like they were telling me not to give up even in this despair.

... Never stop.

"... let's go. Continuing retreat. I don't know if it makes sense, but it would be better than waiting here for the end"

Almost silently, we head to the holes of the world.

I don't know if it's just around here, or more extensive, but I didn't see any swarms of faces that were all there.

I don't know why, and I didn't have the energy to pursue it.

I reached the huge gate so lightly that I wondered what it had been on the road like a nightmare so far.

It's for Kugelschreiber, but it's only about size, and if you dive, it should lead you to the corridor that leads to the labyrinth city.

"For once, keep your space gear available."

Sky Dragon may be fine, but it's got to be a pretty peculiar environment in here. I don't even know if it makes sense with space gear, but I've never done anything to prepare it.... Though I have heard from Ladine that she will not die in life.

As I twisted up the edge of the gate and stepped inside, a space of odd colors awaited me, the same as what I saw one day when I came to this world.

"This... is tight in a different way than I imagined"

You won't die for now. For once, there is thin but air. It's not like I can't move without gravity. These are connected to a labyrinth city, so it would be the result of a matching environment.

However, there were many other elements that hindered the activity.

Feet on the ground, gravitational to the extent that you can walk, but feel different gravitational pulls and repellence from the entire space. The kind of discomfort even the mixer is making me feel, even though I'm just standing there. I'm going to fall in if I don't have a strong will. Though it seems tough even in full condition to tread to the labyrinth city.

"... weird"

Sky Dragon shrugged as he pioneered into the feeling of being pulled from all directions.

"Mr. Clarice. Can you get out of here and come in once?

"Huh? Ah, yes"

Wait a minute. If I did that, I'd have to wait how long... and soon after I stopped, Clarice slipped through the gate.

... and came back a few seconds later.

…………

"Uh, now what?

He was silent, except for the person of the day.

... What is this all about? Why is the flow of time with you outside?

"Huh!"

Berenvar waved a spare sword. There was something there that should not have been.

"... face"

The severed face disappears. And the moment I recognized it, I felt countless gazes from behind the cave.

... No way, is there so much innumerable appearance in here?

"This is the reason… it's an integrated site, so the corridor and the world stay synchronized in tandem…"

Sky Dragon's words awaken the fears he had forgotten.

If I recognised that, I could see my face floating where the corridor came from.

... I'm not kidding. If it had been eroded to this point, it wouldn't be the noise of the retreat.... No, that's not the only problem.

"... let's hurry. Kugelschreiber is in danger."

Everyone nods silently and runs out.

Why wasn't there a face in front of the gate? Why can only a few people be seen here?

If the walls of time, the largest barrier, do not exist, there is no security in the escaped Kugelschreiber. Anticipation tells the worst.

Run. Run in disregard of the environment where you are about to throw up.

The face that strikes is sporadic in a small number. Nothing like this is a threat, not to mention on the road so far.

Run or run, I don't see a goal. That's good. As far as distance is concerned, the danger is far from here.

But the more I go, the more anxiety I get.

- No. I just didn't give up, and all I have to wait for is further despair -

I'm convinced it's hopelessness waiting ahead.

But don't stop. I moved on so that something I didn't know would poke me.

"... Empty Dragon?

In the meantime, Sky Dragon's leg stops.

That doesn't come from fatigue or injury, but the look on your face like you know something you don't want to know.

The Sky Dragon collapsed, confusing us.

"Whoa! What's up?"

"... your mother... died"

It took some time for the word to penetrate. Because it was so unacceptable.

I don't care how you found out or anything like that. I wonder if he has the ability to communicate. The problem is that fact.

... The world of the Imperial Dragon collapses. No, even this corridor if the space stays connected...

"I can't tell if that's true or not, but it doesn't change what I do. Let's go."

"But..."

"They're telling me to take you away!! At least let me fulfill that!!"

I don't know what that means. I'm just not going to keep my word until I get here.

I just wanted an excuse to move an empty dragon. As it were, nothing would change where I was squatting here.

"... I see, is there still something going on?"

But it wasn't Sky Dragon who reacted.

The Lord of that voice walked slowly from the direction where we came in… where we could not even secure our sight in a busy manner.

"That degraded dragon stopped. Yet I felt the trial was not over. He said the stage wasn't up."

Except for the fact that he's getting exposed.

"... Apparently, he had insurance far beyond my common sense"

"Gel...... geal"

The first dragon man shows up.

Its appearance is hard to say is complete.

I guess the lack of some parts and the lack of recovery and regeneration speak of a fierce struggle with the Imperial Dragon.

And at the same time, he seemed to be telling us that the death of the Imperial Dragon was true.
