Overlimit Skill Holder

Dragons and demons, sacrifices and blame.

It was passed through a compact room with a reading deck and a magic lamp lighting up slightly.

The book that was opened was a square of about one meter in size, and was preceded by a person who was seated a little bit.

The fluffy gray hair is long enough to reach the floor, the eyebrows and beard cover the face, and I don't understand the expression at all.

The clothes worn were the same as those of the man who guided me, but the metal chains that were loosely wrapped around both hands and feet were kind of creepy - according to [Mora Vientiane], the metal was like an alloy containing sky silver and emitted mysterious magic.

"Sage, I brought you."

…………

The little old man - the wise man - had been staring at me for a long time before the man said so.From under the fluffy eyebrows.

My name is Raige.

…………

I don't say anything.

As the man left the room, the wise man slipped out of the chair on the reading deck.Walking slightly —— to a wall with a bookshelf.

When I put my hand against a wall less than two metres wide between the bookshelf and the bookshelf, the wall was gone and the road was cleared.

Just looking back, the wise man moved on.

"... you mean follow me?

My [Morira Magnificent] showed a strange reaction to the wise man.

--" incomprehensible ".

It doesn't matter if it's not a human race, but if it's not a Librarian-like reaction, it just repeated the error judgment of "incomprehensible".

"That's why... you can't turn back here."

I stepped into the wise man's vanished passageway.

"--Eh?"

When I realized it was a meadow.

It wasn't like that when I went out, I learned that there were no mountains or dense forests with a grassland all around me.

The anomaly is empty.

Because the sky without a cloud was a mixture of azure, blue sky, and darkness at night.

Looking at it, it was empty and was attacked by anxiety.

The wise man was rushing through the meadow.As if you were sure I'd follow you.It was a little tricky, but I followed the wise man.

After a while, a place with a square cloth appeared on the front of the meadow.Like a leisure seat, it is a colorful cloth woven in a mosaic pattern.

There was already an old man sitting there dressed very similar to the wise man, but your old man was cutting his gray hair and his eyebrows were not fluffy without beard.

It has a deep carved face and purple eyes.

But the characteristic is the forehead, no, the hairline.

There were two protrusions —— it was like a horn.

"... what do you know about bringing me here?"

With a crouched voice, the old man on the horn said.

My [Mori Ra Vientiane] is also throwing an "incomprehensible" error at this old man —— but I've already started to figure out who he is, or who they are (...).

"Are you... just a fantasy demon (Vision Auger)?"

Oh, yes, the old man on the horn said so.



In the "back world," the human money said.

--We were born to maintain the equilibrium of this world… so to speak, pillars.The two worlds divided by the goddess.The world was entrusted to the Vision ogres, who created us.

The black people, known as "mediators," are automatic dolls created by fantasy demons.

If he is a fantasy demon, the other wise man —— the old man.

"... sit down. Hospitality is impossible."

The mouth beneath the fluffy beard moves with the thighs and utterances.The tone was that of an old man, but the voice was surprisingly young.

I took off my shoes and sat on the rug while I took a sip of it. [M]The phantom ghost looked at me with interest - he and the wise man were barefoot, by the way.

"As you know, I am a dragon."



The wise man said before I asked. [M]

"I'm just showing you this way.I don't need to explain the details. "

"... don't you have to explain to the librarian that the blood of the dragon is flowing?

I realized that people called Librarians were different from the human race - wearing dragon-like signs.

"Did you know?His people said they wanted to follow me.Originally a human race, he was given blood because of his aptitude.But it's trivial. "

"Does triviality mean... triviality compared to the reason I was called here?"

The wise man nodded slowly.

"But I'm just looking for a cure for Lark's sister.I fought the 'mediator' because they attacked me.... "

Speaking of the "mediator," the phantom demon blushed with a disgusting face."How hard it must be to make one of those..."

If you wanted to take care of it so much, you should have left it.I use it to disrupt the world, so I'm desperate to destroy it.

"The daughter who paid the price for using a 6-Star Talent Ball."

Do you know the wise man?

"... I am the 'mediator' of this world.The ball of talent supports the world.It's natural to focus on the gifted ball of power. "

"Lark is losing vitality.How can I raise it? "

"Break it."

"... eh?

"Destroy the 6-Star Talent Ball.This will restore the vitality that was trapped in the Ball of Talent. "

"But I can't destroy the gifted ball...."

"That's the gift of Orb Destruction."

"Ah--"

Well, the gift of attachment and removal is [orb attachment and detachment], but this should have been highly rare.

On the other hand, [Orb Break] is not as uncommon as [Orb Attach/Remove], but rather than [Orb Attach/Remove], the gift ball of unique characteristics is basically unusual - it can select and destroy the captured gift.

"Originally, the Orb would be destroyed by the death of the captive.But what's the point?

"Yes...."

If you let Lark take in [Shadow King Magic Swordsmanship] and destroy his talent by killing Lark, it's a good place to fall.

But [Orb Destruction] can be solved easily ---

(... the question is whether Lark will accept it...)

When I remembered my fight with Lark, I wondered if I could convince her.I can't believe you wanted Shadow King Magic Swordsmanship back to Lark and let him destroy it on top of it.

So let's talk about this.

The wise man said.

"I need your help as the Son of Disaster."

"Power?

"You will have the gift of the [Demarcation Treaty]."

"... yes"

There was nothing I could do to spit a lie, so I answered honestly. [M]I left Shadow King Magic Swordsmanship with Cook in the port town of Zucker Halfen, but I can only handle Leaving Covenant so I have it.I still have it in a tool bag hanging from my waist.

Use that power to connect the two worlds.

"--What?"

Sage, no, what the dragon said was simple.I also understood the meaning.But I had no idea.

"Hey, dragon.It's your bad habit to talk too fast. "

The phantom demon said with a crouched voice.

"Hmm... then you can explain.It's a matter of your ability to manage. "

"Ah? You're selling a fight?

For the old man, he was so mighty that he said to the fantasy demon with his blues on his forehead,

"Anyway, could you explain the situation to me?I have no idea. "

"... well, that's good."

So the fantasy demon came out with a story —— things I didn't know, things I didn't want to know if I could.

History of the world.



The two worlds separated by the goddess were supported by "mediators," "covenants," and "gifted jewels," as I already knew by the [Demarcation Treaty].

However, over a long period of history, the ball of talent has been skewed to the "world of the front" - the world I live in.

So the balance of the world went crazy.

"Especially a talented ball with lots of stars.You pulled them out with [Orb Attachment and Removal] and tried not to disappear.Depending on the case, there are many things in the warehouse. "

I have nothing to do with you. [M]

Well, anyway.

In the "back world", where talent balls with many stars no longer circulate, there are significantly fewer species that can handle talent balls, and now it is said to be a threat to survival.

"... maybe that's why the mediators in the Holy Kingdom of Kurvan were obsessed with 'Breaking the Covenant'?"

It's about the "gift ball award ceremony" in which Miss Eva, whom I served, participated.

There, covered in a black dome, the mediator appeared and told His Majesty the Holy King to break the covenant.I destroyed the dome with my bare hands, so it didn't work out.

The fantasy demon nodded with a reluctant face.

"That individual (...) was a lot runaway, but I was given a mission to do something about the covenant.In a sense, it's an expected behavior. "

"Oh no! I made a request to sacrifice my life with 8 star, meaningless talent balls....!

"Sacrifice... well, it's a sacrifice."

The phantom demon broke the covenant.

Covenant for Covenant (Holy Water Man/Underground Man)

By dedicating his noble blood, he can maintain his covenant.

The conciliator shall monitor this, but may not harm the conciliator.

Yes, because of this, noble children could not have talent in the Holy Kingdom of Kurvan until the gift jewel award ceremony.

"Every time, the Underworld is dedicated.It was the Holy Water Man who made the covenant antiquated -- the royal family of a country called Kurvan, where you are. "



"This allows us to remind the world of our covenant and maintain two worlds."

"But... that's..."

"Can't you accept that so many people die every day and give their lives?Then it's your fault. "

"Blame..."

"We do our best to keep the world alive.And I noticed you, the "Son of Disaster"... "Son of Disaster has always brought chaos to the world, but I thought you were a little different."

"Son of Disaster," he is a reborn.

You can possess 16 times more talents than people ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I do think that this power can be used for many things.Unlike powerful power being watched by a lot of people, the power to rely on just one person was not strange to mislead the user-- me.

In other words, I am a chosen person, a special person.

"I... met everyone in Silver Balance, Mino, Dantes, Non, and Lyquila, so I just didn't drown in this power."

And perhaps, Miss Eva, Asha, Zeli... you met Lark.

At that time, for the first time, I felt emotional in the eyes of two old people -- not as transcenders.

"... the 'Bad Kid' I was before, I took off my shoes before I sat on the rug like you.But after years in this world, my behavior changed... and I became aggressive.Eventually, to clear the child of blame - after all, to kill the child, the human race sacrificed tens of thousands of lives. "

Tens of thousands of lives were unthinkable and unrealistic to me.But the fact that this is not another HR comes from the serious expression of the two old people.

Until then, the wise man who remained silent opened his mouth.

"... we don't know what the goddess thinks, but maybe this is what a reincarnated person like you would expect.That's why talent exists beyond 8 stars. "

In the first place, it was strange that even though there were only eight skill holders, there was talent beyond that.

Without 16 skill holders, there's a talent you can't handle —— to prevent the world from collapsing.

The goddess had prepared a reincarnation as a safety net...

It's about me.My head feels dizzy because I don't feel it.

A fantasy demon who saw me like that,

"In any case, I would like to ask you to use the [Demarcation Treaty] to break the treaty.I don't mind if the covenant destroys it, but it will be difficult to convince.The covenant holders are beginning to feel comfortable maintaining the covenant unless it's too much. "

"... is it like a suggestion?

Well, yes.

"What happens when the two worlds are connected?"

"Hmm... maybe, but the density of life is temporarily doubled.Each creature will be kept alive and will live in one world. "

It was a little relieved.I don't want to pull the trigger as much as I can if the world comes together and there will be sacrifices.

"But as you know, the monsters of my world have evolved violently. They have produced eight giant species, but they were not well controlled.Those monsters are coming again.If we don't take adequate measures, there will be many sacrifices... that's not what we want. "

That's right. When those monsters arrive, none of our residents will stand a chance.

"In the end, if it comes to sacrifices, you don't want to do it."

"... that's obvious.Nobody wants to be a party. "

If you leave me alone, the world will perish.

"Can't you stop it?For example, to improve the bias of talent balls.... "

"Are you going to destroy 5 or 6 Talent Balls?

…………

I can't.

A 6-Star Ball of Talent is more than a national treasure.

If you say, "The world is about to collapse, let it collapse," you won't listen to me.

Then we'll have to do everything we can.

"The world will perish... what exactly will happen?"

"Huh. You want to collapse yourself?

"No, well... you want to know all the possibilities?"

It's simple.

The wise man said.

"Life activities of all creatures are forced to stop.And back to nothing.I may remain a fantasy demon, but I'm not sure. "

It was more urgent than I thought.

"... how much time limit do you have?"

The phantom demon shook his head sideways, saying, "I don't know."

"Maybe tomorrow, maybe next year, maybe 100 years later.The world is made up of various elements while circulating, but the world of eagles is now clogged (...) at many points.Most importantly, the holy water man's noble blood was not provided.I don't allow prediction. "

"Oh no...."

At that time, the "gift jewel award ceremony" of the Holy Kingdom of Kurvan had such a big impact.

"The Red Gate... what happens when the two worlds are connected by a red crack?"

"I felt that it might help me clear a lot of clogging."

"That's out of the rules.I felt it accelerated the collapse. "

The old man's opinion was the opposite.

So the mediator tried to break through the crack, and the dragons tried to close it?

"There are few points of agreement between the eagle and the dragon... but I think it is certain that there are points of agreement.As you suggested, it might be nice to break the ball of genius and correct the bias, but it's not in time —— there's no time. "

…………

Does it mean that there is virtually no choice?

"... alarm at the appearance of many monsters, get countries ready for battle as soon as possible, and destroy their covenants as soon as possible..."

I even felt nauseated at the difficulty.

"Why... me?Why should I do such a thing? [M]I can't... there's no way I can do it. "

I would have liked to cry without anyone.

I'm not here to hear this.

I just wanted Lark's body to be healed.

Is it so bad to wish a single sister good health?

"... I put too much baggage on you as a child.Fine. You don't have to decide.As Fantasy said earlier, the world may still be there. "

"Dragon, you're so sweet to him.Can the world be destroyed?With about this much power, we can protect the lives of our people. "

"This child, who can imagine the lives of not only his companions, but also of strangers... is still too kind, unlike the" Son of Disaster "he used to be.It's fine. You don't have to carry it. "

The wise man reached out and licked my head. [M]

I chewed my back teeth to make sure that I would never cry because of the tenderness of my frightened hands, which did not make me feel the temperature of a person's body, but the tenderness of the way I touched them so surprisingly.
