The Branded Female Fencer
Battle of the Dark Forest, Part 20 - Relics of Memory ⑤
"(The lineage is different from any of the existing sorceries. I'm not saying it's not feasible, but this is already a form of magic. I wonder if Oranzeble knows about this)"
Anomaly arrived with a chunk of letters revolving around one sphere. The sphere, composed of incomprehensible letters, drifts as it slowly rotates. It was already up so high that the ground could no longer be seen, but still the ceiling of the building could not be seen. Once the floor also stops, there are no signs of movement. Anomaly realized this was the end.
"Is this...?
As Anomaly slowly reached out and touched that sphere to be sure, the sphere rapidly began to spin faster and pull as if to take Anomaly into it.
"Wow!? What is this, sucked off..."
Before I could finish the words, Anomaly was dragged inside a chunk of letters. Outside I was laughing all the time as the girl I was chasing watched how it went.
"This ruin gives you what you need - but I haven't said a word that it doesn't come with a price. If what you seek exceeds your capacity in the first place, then whoever you seek will only perish. That is why this ruin must continue to be sealed. The bigger you seek, the more qualified you are. Well, I don't know about you."
The girl was staring at the sphere that slowly began to turn again.
Anomaly was in the whirlpool of information. Numerous footage pops into his sight at the same time, and they disappear to blink, or to fog, or to strike anomalies. That was some sights that Anomaly had seen, and on the other hand a number of sights that she did not imagine.
A meadow made of gems as far as you can see, like covering up the ground. Fish waiting with their mouths open, beneath waterfalls so big that they wonder if the earth has broken. A giant bug sitting on a mountain much higher than Pilebos, as if it were a hipster. Walking on the sea, a giant taller than a cloud. None of that was an impossible sight, and at the same time Anomaly understood that she could have been in this world, but Anomaly's thoughts could not keep up with the information that struck her like turbulence.
"What... ah. My head... it's bursting!
Even Anomaly was depressed more and more, and his spirit was one step ahead of the collapse to that amount of information that was painful. Connecting Anomaly's consciousness was his intellectual curiosity and his tireless obsession with the "Book of Life" he sought, not letting go of all that information.
And when Anomaly's consciousness was about to flow to such vast amounts of information that it seemed infinite, he suddenly awoke. He stifled and encircled the ocean of information that was only to be flown, and now he jumped in with a view of the ocean of information. And he finally got the answer.
"Phew... Ha ha ha ha! Right, you mean that! What is the Book of Life?"
Anomaly's consciousness returned to reality. It was only temporarily that his consciousness was buried in an ocean of information, but what Anomaly had gained in that time was better than what it had been a hundred years ago.
The girl stared at Anomaly, whose consciousness was drawn back and she laughed like crazy, without any emotion.
"You got it?
"Oh - oh, I got it. I do have the Book of Life! Damn, Pharmaceutical's master is a bad person, too. I didn't know I was the Book of Life! You think so, too?
"Come on, I don't know. I don't even know what you got, and I don't need to. It doesn't matter in itself that you've gained knowledge. I just continue my role"
"That role - I'm in trouble if it keeps going"
Anomaly turns her hands on the girl softly. In its eyes lived a brutal light.
I see you're going to destroy this ruin.
"You're right. Sometimes if this ruin brings the right knowledge to those who seek it, they will gain the knowledge to counter me. That's very bad. Hopefully, this ruin will be destroyed. Even if I look like this, I'm careful."
"It makes sense. But I can't say much about it. Because -"
The array of letters changed over Anomaly's head. When Anomaly sees it, it's apparently a magical chant. Anomaly tongued lightly.
"After all, are there features like this too"
"Of course. Interception in the ruins is more expensive than any of the outside squire. You can't even fight it."
"You think you have something you want to protect until then?
"I'm not the one who decides if there's one. This ruin is hope and despair. What you grab depends on the visitor. But something you grabbed is going to be desperate."
"No, hope. For humans. I look like a fraternity guy. Especially when it comes to human love.
"You should ask a human once. Whether your love is acceptable"
"The supreme love is incomprehensible."
"dictator or madman."
"That's a compliment, thank you"
Anomaly bowed politely and left the spot. The girl crushes her back in the name of a drop-off.
"... Visit this ruin quickly, O truly qualified one. Time is running out, but if we are not more hasty, the earth will be anointed with despair by that one. by despair in the name of love and salvation."
The girl didn't make anyone listen, but disappeared after saying so.
