SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

4.

Inquisitor of the Circuit.

A first-generation hunter who's been active since the very beginning of the tower. A blonde psychopath who hunted and stabilized towers in various countries, places where countries were not built, places where countries were destroyed, and when thousands of humans came upon him,

“I interpret constellations in two dimensions! ”

Until now, Specialists in the Great War who have kept all the religions on the planet under the Temple of Manchuria smiled widely.

“Personality is simply the law! For example, if there is a law on Earth, which is our world, there must be a law of physics! This law of physics is basically a window-operating system, so it's nothing special! So there's nothing special in our world! ”

Uh, yeah.

“You have a nuke and a gun, right? ”

“As I said, the laws of physics are fundamentally laid out everywhere! So if they're advanced enough, they can emerge from any world! ”

However, the Inquisitor said that it would be difficult to develop technology based purely on the laws of physics if things were universal because of magic. But that doesn't mean that nuclei and guns can't be invented in other worlds.

‘Well, there was a prophecy that was destroyed by nuclear war. The space forge knights that became our 23rd floor were also SF... ’

Is Earth the world's weakest link?

I knew that magic and skills were not universalized until the tower rose, but I felt strange hearing that our home blue star Earth was weak. Or should I say compassion?

“But like you said, guns and nukes are powerful enough! If you spill them both, the Messiah constellation apostles can be defeated in a heartbeat! ”

“Indeed.”

Raviel taps his mouth with the end of his debt.

“The laws of physics are basically laid down. Is physical force also fundamentally universal? ”

“You got it right! It is natural for a person who does not have a physical entity to exert physical force in any way. And if you have a physical entity, it's also a fair result of a physical attack! It leaves a question of whether to fully embrace that physical force or to alleviate it! ”

The wandering sword gives me a little admiration.

- Huh. He's smart.

Does that sound right to you, Mr. Sword? ’

- Right, so he's got a sparkly fever, and I've been working on my knife, and I'm not pushing him anywhere. The mourners who dominated the Black Dragon Guild were able to support the Anglers with beams. Physical strength is a very powerful law.

[Nod your head with a shimmering glow.]

- It depends on how close you are to this law of physics, or how far you can deviate.

I thought that meant something else, but then the Inquisitor explained it.

“Surprisingly important is what I just said about alleviating and accepting your physical strength! It's because it follows the laws of physics, but it's not completely detained! And how is that possible --”

“---The constellations each have their own laws, because the apostles are also against the laws of physics with their own laws. ”

“Oh! What a clever understanding! You must be the king's husband! ’ ’

“Of course it sounds. ”

My husband said a lovely thing to me. I could confidently say that Raviel was shining a light on this little tactical meeting.

- Zombie, can we focus? Is this the moment where you decide whether the world is going to end or not?

[Glitter jumps up and slaps the warrior's back neck.]

Wormé.

Poor bastards who don't know how to love.

- Oh, fuck off, zombie.

[Sparkly looks at the warrior with rotten fish eyes.]

‘Sparkle, you don't have eyes. ’

[Tell her to look at the jewel attached to it with her shimmering dagger embellishment.]

Depending on what you said, you can see that the jewel's color has been blurred from the glistening blade decoration.

Mmm-hmm.

‘Okay, I'll take care of it. ’

- I need you to focus.

Yep.

1. Each constellation has its own law.

2. The apostles also follow the law.

“For example, what laws do you have? ”

“Hmmm! For example, yes. There's a constellation called Babbitt. ”

Inquisitor Ethan supported the so-called "God of Love."

“This constellation [interprets everything in the world as romantic]. In a world ruled by Babbit, power and wealth are meaningless! How strong the romance is determines the human strength. ”

“Romance? What's that? ”

“Mmmm! That's a lot of white paper. ”

The Inquisitor made Demibeasts with both hands.

“The sacred rites, the spirit. ”

Paaaaaah!

The light spreads from the Inquisitor's hands. Not just white, but... a little pink? Anyway, a fog like a slightly darker perfume rose to the top of the ruins.

“Aha, I am here for a while, but I have descended the sanctuary of Lord Babbit! Do whatever you have to do, my king! ”

"Well…"

I looked around crazily. Late at night, Inquisitor Ethan and I and Raviel and three others were in the ducal palace. Ten days later, we hold a mission meeting to prepare for the coming invasion.

“... it doesn't make much difference except in a pink mist. ”

“Excuse me for a moment! ”

That's when the Inquisitor Tuk tripped over my ankle. I'm leaning, stumbling, "Huh?" I grab Raviel's forearm. "Hmm."

“Huh?” We both fall to the floor of the room.

“Oh.”

Raviel stares down at me. I became a figure struck by Raviel. It happened so fast.

“Confucius. Such affection is unforgiving in front of others. ”

“Er. Er... ”

I was embarrassed.

“Oh, no! No! No, Raviel! I was just about to fall...! ”

“Ah-ha-ha.”

The Inquisitor frowned.

“What a common concept in romantic waters! ”

“Inquisitor Lee, is this...? ”

“In the sanctuary of Lord Babbit, every action leads to romance! They don't just fall over, they attract people nearby. Well, for example, if the king is wearing a shirt and drinking water, there is a 95% chance that the water will spill and the inside of the shirt will glow! It's imperative that people around you shake their heads at it! ”

Oh, my God, what is that? Cosmic horror, right?

“Sanctuary, in short, reinterpretes the world and brainwashes people. The Great Library we were at before is the same! The Librarian interprets the world as a collection of stories, where we are forced to become characters. ”

Pa 'a.

After the Inquisitor reaffirmed the Demibeast, the pink veil on the floor disappeared. I blushed and walked away from Raviel.

Inquisitor Lee smiled widely and said.

“To defeat those who have their own laws with the laws that we can use. I define this as the Temple and the Temple! ”

Temple and Temple.

“Well, what do you suggest we do about the temple in ten days? ”

“We need to know exactly what constellations they're dealing with! As you can guess from what I've told you so far, the laws of the constellation also dictate how to deal with them! ”

“I'm sure. It's important to know information about your enemies before the war. ”

The Inquisitor nods at Raviel's mouth with the tip of his debt.

“Yes! So I ask you, which constellations exactly are the apostles coming in after ten days? ”

Mmm-hmm.

“Can you tell me what the constellations are? ”

“You can do it 100% if you know the truth! You can see it through my skills, the Manchurian Temple! ”

At that point, I remembered information about this young man... or woman... because he is now possessed by the body of a goldfish.

It was on the 13th floor, fighting the anglers. ’

When I was about to blow up the prophet okay, Black Dragonlord said that the Inquisitor was skillful, but also skillful about the religion in this world.

It's good.

“Suffocation... I mean, can we draw a metaphor from the distention of the constellations? ”

“If you're famous, you can! ”

If that's the case.

“[ox harvesting ruins], [horse of eternal plains], and [preacher of immortal happiness]."

"Hmm."

The Inquisitor is on his chin.

“[Cow of the Ruins] is Mutia. The main areas of control are Destruction and Re-Creation. Simple but powerful.”

Destruction and re-creation.

“How do you fight roughly? ”

“Yes, you can exercise your physical strength at your own will! It can take a wide range of areas and knock them down, or it can dismantle the physical bonding structure of a particular existence. We can dismantle it and reunite it to create a golem. Very rarely, you can exert that power in time! Time is also physical! ”

Indeed, the ‘Second Woman' trait of the Golden Hawk was through the power of Mutia.

The Apostle from the outer constellation had already been in this world.

"Is that why the Palindrome Librarian chose this world as his vision? ’

In the opinion of the Librarian of the Corners, not just their own story, but their own, but that of the outside sinfulness that had already been touched, did they also have room to intervene?

Or is it just because there are no constellations in the world, as Raviel said?

‘It seems that the former rather than the latter is more like the propensity of the Paleolithic Librarian. ’

Thinking about it, Inquisitor Ethan continued to say.

“[Forever Plain Horse] is the name of Mahjoth. The main areas of control are [Duel] and [War]. This is also a cheap but powerful force! ”

Duels and wars.

“Are you unable to refuse the duel application or something? ”

“Yes! Or disperse a vast array of combat enthusiasts who do not fear death, or gain insight into tactics and strategies! Ah, it is also possible to force a peaceful zone by" banning war itself "in reverse! This is also very rare! ”

“The man in charge of war also controls peace... That sounds strange. ”

Raviel smiles slightly at my muttering.

“What could possibly be strange? Peace is merely the name of [a state in which war is halted]. Therefore, he who is able to force war can force peace. ”

“Again, an accurate understanding! ”

The Inquisitor smiles widely.

“[Immortal Happiness Preacher] doesn't know the truth! It looks like the constellations aren't that famous yet! ”

Unidentified.

"Unfamous means weak. Is that an advantage?" ’

I was shivering in agony.

[Ask me once if I know anything about the Shiny Goddess of Protection.]]

‘Sparkles…. You told me to focus on the meeting.... ’

[I advise you, sparkling is a very important matter!]

‘What's wrong with you...? ’

[To determine whether the information about the heretic's constellations is accurate, I declare that I will never live!]

Mmm-hmm.

“Th-that's a different story. Do you know anything about Goddess of Protection? ”

“Oh.”

The Inquisitor smiled.

“[Goddess of Protection] is the sign of Vhya! The domain that dominates the most is [Guardian], and [Immortal]! It's a pretty powerful democracy, but it's in my skill temple that I've lost my powers because of this kind of work. ”

[The sparkle says he's real and he can be trusted!]

“Duke, what's with the knife all of a sudden? It breaks my eyes.”

“Hold on. I'll wrap it up... ”

[The sparkle screams out, "Stop."]

Anyway, after the glint of the former constellation confirmed (only to me) that the Inquisitor's information was accurate, Raviel placed his jaw at the end of the debt.

“Not good... One enemy of different types. Three hostiles in total. ”

“Depending on the Apostle, we share how much power we can borrow from that personality, which makes it even more complicated! ”

“Nevertheless, you can see the general trend. Thank you for sharing the information. ”

“Aha, saving this world will soon become a bot in our towers! It's efficient to help! ”

“I see.”

“Yes! And my other skill, [Divine Ritual], can almost borrow the power of character to know the truth! If you add your strength to it, you will definitely see the way! ”

Our strengths.

Raviel and I gaze back at each other. And I opened my lips at the same time.

“Love.”

“Love.”

There will be many who fight better than us, and there will be many who are smarter than us, but only one. We can be confident that we love each other deeper than anyone else.

“…… Huh? ”

The Inquisitor tilts his head.

“That's odd. A king. When I see you two hanging around my heart, it gets dull and numb. I don't think I've ever had it before, but what is it? ”

“Myocardial infarction.”

“I also heard that the rate of immersion has risen! How do we interpret this? ”

“No… just pay attention to the flow rate. ”

If the Golden Hawk eats the Inquisitor before the Temple, he will not die or eat.

As I've already told you, Raviel was well acquainted. She said.

“There are other meanings besides the general meaning of ‘love’ that you just said. ”

“What does it mean? ”

“I'm sorry, but it cannot be shared. Let's just say it's a secret weapon. ”

“Hmmm, I can't take into account the tactics.... ”

“Fine. Let's discuss more basic tactics and tactics. I, as the world's ruler, can place the guards at the wedding venue wherever I please. Like borrowing an army from the Emperor... ”

“Wow. How is the combat strength of that special forces...?" ”

So Raviel and the Inquisitor continue to talk face to face.

‘Be.’

The once-loving rivals, of course one of them, now changed the contents, but the decision to fight together beautifully inspired me to be optimistic for some reason.

This is unconditional! ’

As I was being so sure, the messenger put cold water on me.

-Congratulations, pull yourself together. It's not uncommon for three apostles to attack.

What kind of crisis is this? ’

Think of it as an angler approaching from the 12th floor, roughly 1.5.

This is some kind of an emergency unit.

‘Anglers were constellations. The Apostle is attacking now. Of course, an apostle is weaker than a constellation. ’

Based on your top rank, it's roughly a D rank.

Is that the gate from the 12th floor? ’

Angler at -12 floors.

The messenger who cut off his head twitches his ear.

- Well, I'm not worried about you. No, it's "you." You don't have to worry about it.

The messenger who speaks that way clears Raviel out.

You've spent a long time with me, so you're guessing Raviel mentioned the secret weapon.

It was the same for me. Therefore, I did not think that I would not be able to overcome the invasion itself.

However.

- But zombie, you want to wake up with zero casualties, right?

‘Yes, it is. ’

- You're gonna have to do a lot of real work. The tactical part is that Brainy and your husband will handle it, and you're gonna need to develop some personal combat skills.

The messenger folded his arms and looked down at me.

By the way, your rank was D, right? You're not going to stay in that rank forever, are you?

Of course not.

5.

And ten days went by like a shot.

“Wedding day at last! ”

In the Empire, weddings are held at night.

Marriage is the combination of the sun and the moon. The night sky where the two heavenly bodies blend is the perfect fit for marriage. The clearer and redder the sunset, the better the wedding day, and today was that day.

“You look amazing today! Duchess!”

I felt a strange emotion surrounded by servants.

Up to five acolytes clammed together like beetles and coddled me. Without rest, he said, "How sweet! ”

"You're lucky, Duke!” I was hesitant. I was losing my mind.

“Stir. Thanks for everything. I can't just shake my head like this... ”

“No, no! ”

The acolytes responded decisively.

“At least for today, the duchess should be the most beautiful bridegroom in the country! Even if modesty and humility are virtues, you shouldn't do that! Today, beauty is literally the only virtue! ”

Oh, I've felt this before...

It's the same as when the Giant Guild Master and the Black Dragon Master were in a frenzy to take pictures of me...

Of course, there's something different about it.

“Congratulations on your wedding. Duchess.”

An old man with a nice beard came into the dressing room and greeted him. I was confused because I didn't know who he was. Seeing my face, the old man smiled bitterly.

“I'm going to be your stepfather. In the Imperial Court, she is taking on a small position to make a living. I've heard a lot about your wife from the new Duke of Ivan. ”

“Ah…. ”

Oh, my God. I thought you were somebody. I've never seen you before!

“My wife, I haven't seen you. Well, you know, it's... ”

“Call me Father at ease. Don't worry, I know the duchess won't take me as her father in her heart. Even if I did, I would never mess with the Duke to protect his wife. ”

The old man bowed very politely.

“I will retire at the end of this wedding. Your husband has been very considerate to me. Haha. No need to worry about old age anymore. ”

"......."

A sigh breaks out. How hard did Raviel work for this day?

I put this word in my mouth for the first time since I was born.

“…… Father. ”

“Yes, the moon of Ivan. ”

“I don't know the situation because I'm not socially connected and politically literate. So I have to ask, what did the Imperial people say about this marriage? ”

“In other words, it's a series of ripples. ”

The old gentleman said politely.

“The marriage of the Duke of Ivanca is a marriage. It's usually very difficult to prepare for the event within a month. How much more did He divorce His Majesty and inherit the royal family, whichever was..."

At that time, the old man kept his mouth shut. It's because the dressing room outside has become noisy. There was a loud noise from the guests.

“…… Neither would it have been possible if the Duke of the Valley Lily had not persuaded the Emperor. ”

The old man grinned as he stroked his beard.

“Duchess, your husband is a very capable man. His loyalty to His Majesty is a great blessing to the Empire. Although this is just the fate of a wealthy child for today.... Let me just put this up. ”

At that moment, the old man narrowed his eyes.

At the same time, a vigorous force extends from the old man's body, almost comparable to the sword.

“Your husband and wife also asked for my ‘other position’, and judging by the placement of the guards at the ceremony, today's marriage is not going to go well.” Imperial Grand Chamberlain.

The moment the sword and imperial commander said so, the commotion outside the makeup room suddenly turned into screaming.

- Zombies, get ready.

I looked out the window.

- Here she is.

Just like the messenger said.

[The Apostle of the 'Cow of the Waste Harvest’ is a phenomenon.]

[The apostle of 'The Eternal Plain Horse’ is realized.]

[The apostle of the 'Immortal Happiness evangelist’ is realized.]

A red sky with two celestial bodies mixed together.

As the sunset falls, the enemies who were waiting reveal themselves.
