The Dungeon Struggle of an Earth Dragon!

16. Beyond VS Dream Mist Nightmare

- My left eye hurts.

Collapsed building.

As he hid in the shadow of the rubble, Beldee watched Ann and Joker struggle.

No, to be precise, it's just the hell that that gaze is pouring.

Black Ant Demon - It's Ann.

"... why not? Why are you here?

You must be in the dungeon.

Far from here, in a dungeon in the Erdo wilderness.

You must be at the back of the dungeon you should be challenging and attacking.

Why is that, on the ground, out in a place like this?

Mumble like a solitary but no one answers.

I want to get out of here right now and ask why I'm here.

But you can't leave.

Look at your feet.

"... ha... ha"

A scratchy, sleeping furry figure.

Like other adventurers, she was fighting a black fog, but she was sucked away by magic without power. He is further involved in the collapse of the building, with all the wounds on his body.

I couldn't leave.

I have to protect it.

Unexpectedly, Farley's eyes opened.

"BE, BELDIE............?

"Furry!? Have you noticed? It's okay, I'm here. Don't worry."

As I tell myself, Beldee says quickly.

Don't let them understand what's inside you.

Don't make me worry.

Because I'm a much stronger S-ranked adventurer than Farley.

You can't show pity on the side.

I can't tell you even if my mouth rips open that I was upset, etc. in front of my once sister's revenge.

………

Farley stares at Beldy with vain eyes.

And slowly its mouth opened.

"Something... happened?

For a moment, I'm thrilled with the word.

But don't put it on the surface. Beldy makes her drink potion.

"It's not anywhere. Because of this black fog, the Imperial City is a mayhem everywhere. Come on, drink. Just take your time."

Slowly let the furry drink the potion so that it is included in your mouth.

She looks a little better.

But where can I take Farley after this?

Is there a safe place in the Empire today?

I was lost.

Between my desire to protect Farley and my desire to head to the battlefield now.

But Farley opened his mouth as if he had seen through the stray.

"" Something "... something happened..."

"Eh."

"... go... please"

"Hey, what?

"... Wow, I would be fine. So... go"

"Hey, what are you saying? You want me to abandon you?

There's no way I can do that.

I have to protect myself.

Because I wasn't there once, my sister, Pardey, is dead.

So she's within sight. She has to be protected at all costs.

But Farley laughed.

In a way that you don't have to worry.

"It's okay... And I, Mr. Beldee, don't want you to regret it anymore. 'Cause now you look like Mr. Beldee, when Mr. Pardee died...?

"-"

"I'm sorry. It's just a clump of legs... But it's okay. Hide somewhere, I'm jittery. I can handle enough to protect myself..."

"Yes, but it's dangerous. I'll... I'll take care of it."

"Fool... please don't!

"- Huh!?

Beldee faces the sudden fury of Farley.

"Do you want to protect me? That's not true, Mr. Beldee...... I have to protect myself more than I am an adventurer. Just revoke the word now."

The weakness seems regrettable, but still, with a strong will, Farley says.

Farley was once protected.

No, I've been protected before.

A sorcerer's girl who died, ate her soul by the golem, and still tried to help herself on it.

She kept me alive, ran away, and lived this far like no other.

I've always regretted that.

That's not all.

Even the other day, I pulled Valed and Beldee's legs.

Just being protected?

I'm not kidding.

I'm an adventurer myself.

Even if it's weak, there's a will that you can't give away - I'm proud of it.

"Even I'm an adventurer.” So... go "

When he saw the determination, the eyes of his strong will, Beldee was deflected by accident.

And I disgraced myself for trampling that pride inexorably.

Zukin, and.

I felt more pain in my left eye.

- What you're saying is an “insult” to my sister.

Once told to the enemy, that line.

Did you let Pardee die because I wasn't here?

I'm here. Can you protect Farley?

What, an arrogant idea?

Beldee finally understood what it meant.

"Oh well...... You're right."

Like talking to herself, Beldee shrugged.

I didn't know anything.

I wasn't even trying to understand.

How important was that?

…………

Beldee makes him drink the rest of the potion he had.

"Now we should be able to move somewhat. On top of that, I'm sorry but... just stay away from me as long as you can."

"Yes, come on in"

"Oh, I'm coming"

I don't want to waste her resolve.

And Beldee stepped down to the battlefield.

And at the Farbnil canopy site...

"Answer me," Cross the border. "Beldy Raven. Why are you here, asshole?

………

Beldee was confronted with a clown-like man with a hateful black ant on his back.

I feel awesome magic.

Disaster...... no disastrous disaster, more than that?

I'm pretty sure this guy has something to do with this black fog, even after watching the fight earlier.

Who the hell is that?

Awesome magic.

And black fog covering the surrounding area.

(No way......)

Beldee was half anticipating the answer.

Three Divine Disaster classes registered in the official records of the Alliance.

The whole thing in it, “Dream Mist".

A fog demon that once drove one continent to death.

I wonder if the demon in front of me is the existence of that legend.

Be wary, the man in front of you looks flat.

"What's the matter, sss? Ignorance is terrible, isn't it?

The joker keeps talking as he turns the baton in his hand.

"In the first place, why would you help that demon? I don't know the details, but that demon must be your vengeance, right? He killed your sister or something. But why, help us?

………

A joker who puts his neck up if he doesn't understand.

Verdi, by contrast, is silent.

But only for a moment, the spear moved pickly.

Mm-hmm. Joker groans.

"Oh, well. Could it be that you couldn't put up with someone else taking your prey? Well, I don't mind, then, sus. If you want to kill him, if you want to stop stabbing him, don't give up. Go ahead, go ahead. You can boil it, you can cook it, you can cook it."

"- Rarely..."

"Huh? What the fuck? You can't hear me, can you?

"I said shut up!

A high density of magic piercing emanates from the spear.

Joker put it on paper.

"Whoa!? Hey, what the fuck...? What are you so angry about?"

"Hate...... oh, I still hate you. Hundreds of times, thousands of times, it's not enough hatred."

Beldee says as she squeaks, holding down her left eye covered with her eyelids.

But.

"This isn't where I'm supposed to kill this guy."

"To?"

I point to Anne who's falling and say.

"It's in this dungeon that I kill this guy. Step through all of this dungeon, ravage all of him, and kill him. That's my answer as an adventurer."

Only one eye dwells on determination.

That's the answer Beldy gave.

As an adventurer, as a sister, attracting a life without shame.

That is the atonement for my sister and for my hand.

"... you don't like it, sucker."

Joker said to throw it away.

"I don't like it, the way you think about it. You're supposed to be an adventurer. Of those who kill demons, earn money, and do adventures. What a nauseating mindset like such a damn sweet sugar candy to have a chance to kill but not to. It's out of the nature of the adventurer, sss."

Joker stops turning the baton.

Step forward, step forward.

Tons, and.

In an instant, Joker turned around behind Beldee.

"Become!?

- You're a fake, too.

A mixed voice with a loss of laughter.

Zdong!!

At the same time, a black baton was slammed into Beldee's flank.

"Ha......!?

But Beldee reflexively developed a defense by wind magic.

Damage could be mitigated, but it is blown off for more than ten meters with a no-bound as it is.

"Ha ha, combo connected, ss"

"Become!?

But before he was blown away, the joker had already turned around.

Plus now full swing from the front.

"Ha...!!

Beldee dances through the universe, folding into the Kuno script.

Furthermore, the joker also generates a trampoline of black mist at his feet, which he follows.

Another blow.

Without getting busy with his passive, Beldee was slammed to the ground.

"Gu - heh!!

Step out of your head Berdie trying to get up.

Like rubbing it to the ground with grime.

"Ha, but you think every S-rank adventurer is going to compete against the demons of Divine Disaster? Just kidding, tough guy, not funny."

Joker says as if to grin.

Like I'm telling you, there's no point in your actions.

"Uh, and that's really funny. You know, I said something cool, and I was ready to - look like that, and you look more like a clown than I do from such an unsightly exposure."

Strengthen your ability to step on it.

Beldee groans in bitterness.

Joker's gaze turns to the spear in her hand.

The moment he tried to cage his power in the spear in an attempt to magic, the joker struck that hand hard.

"Grr!!

"In the first place, that spear - you now not recognized by Gungnir. Then there's no shortage of actors at all"

"What... so...?

Can Gungnir admit it?

What the hell are you talking about?

Zukin and my left eye hurts.

My left eye crushed when I became the owner of Gungnir.

From earlier on, the pain only increases.

What the hell is wrong with you?

"Whoa, this is a slippery mouth, huh? Well, if you kill him now, there's nothing wrong with him."

Joker concentrates his magic.

The baton in my hand is pointy as a spear.

"Die, fake"

"- Whoa! Noooooooo!!

Zdong!!

It erupts magic at zero distance from the gunnil in your hand.

Using that recoil, Beldee escaped Joker's foot.

"Oh, my gosh. - Okay, next time."

Joker packing the distance and swinging the baton again.

Beldee rolls and pounds the baton.

Stay up in recoil and release the spear toward the joker.

"Sick!

"Oops, sss."

But it was easy.

Baton looms over the counter.

It also comes from the left eye, which is the blind spot.

"- Huh!"

But this is critical.

"Successfully..."

The joker shrugs like a real pain in the ass.

"Phew... I can't break any more magic on you."

Pattin and, as he rang his fingers, countless black tentacles occurred around him.

"What!?

The black tentacles strike Beldee.

Immediately Beldee also waves the spear, but that number is too high.

Immediately he was entangled all over his body, unable to take one physical movement.

"Gu... damn..." Wind, I want to be a blade - "

The moment I tried to chant magic, my black tentacles wrapped around my mouth, preventing me from chanting.

"I'll waste it. In the first place, that fog absorbs magic, sss. Even though it doesn't make sense where you say it, just in case."

"Phew... phew..."

"Ooh, boulder, tentacle seniors. Well, tentacles are usually tough if you don't have the ability to cheat like a fake that's falling down there."

Yeah, nodding, Joker expands his tentacles even further.

Tentacles tighten Beldee so as to emphasize its feminine flesh.

"Colour... ugh..."

Beldee also tries desperate resistance, but she can't get out.

Instead, the deeper the tentacles become tangled.

(- Eh. I can't even stretch the gunnil. The magic is sucking...)

The tentacles are also tangled in the gunnil.

Even if the magic seems to flow, it is immediately absorbed by the black tentacles and cannot be stretched.

"Yeah. Now you're stuffed."

"... ugh."

"Is that it? You're not gonna say 'fuck kill' or anything? Aoba, what did you say about promises made at times like this?... Is it not?

Pattin 'and a joker ringing his fingers.

Then the tentacles leave Beldee's mouth.

I guess it's to make you say.

"Look, if you tell me to kill you quickly, I'll kill you there with ease, okay? Or are you just gonna beg for your life?

"What... are you kidding me?"

Who wants to kill me?

Who begs for life but pleads?

I can't die yet.

You can't die.

Squeezing the power of all Alan, Beldee tries to get out of her tentacles.

"Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

"Ha, there's nothing I can do about it where I screamed. Then it's time, Todmes"

Magic cages in the baton of the joker.

That's what I get at.

I have a feeling about death.

But...

"Dead... as if!

I took an oath.

Killing that black ant.

Attacking the dungeon he built.

So in this place, you can't die!

You can't lose to someone like this!

- Zukin.

The pain ran.

From my left eye, there was blood.

Beldee can put his strength into a hand with a spear.

My... Hear my voice! It's Gungnir!

A demonic spear that wears a god!

If you're a weapon that bears a name to the artifact, show me what you mean!

Give me your help!

With me, fight me!

To live, to move on!

Help me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

- - Zukin '!!!

"Agu!?

Unexpectedly, the left eye ran with unparalleled severe pain.

A glowing red spear at the same time.

"Is this... Huh!?

Beldee's eyelids fall off.

Left eye dedicated when he became the owner of Gungnir.

My left eye, which I should have chosen and pierced by the spear, was there.

Glowing golden eyes.

"Become a fool..." Awakened, "eh?

The next moment, Gungnir stretched.

He changed orbit at will of the phantom and tore off the tentacles that were intertwining Beldee.

"Hey, what... these eyes...?

I see a different view than before.

This...

Joker stares abominably at Beldee.

"Shit!"

The black tentacles strike Beldee again.

But Beldee snorts.

Attacking tentacles, tearing them all apart.

It's like a different speed than earlier.

That was enough to stun the joker.

"- Oh, shit! Ah, no more! I don't want to consume any more magic, though!

Zozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozozo

Awesome magic gathers around the joker.

"Invitation/Kuroshima!

A black beast appears behind the joker.

That's the black beard that swallowed Ann earlier.

For the second major move, the boulder joker also gets a bitter look.

"Ha... ha... come on, disappear but be good, 'cross the line'!!

Overwhelming magic runoff.

The mouth of the beast, which devours dreams and brings nightmares, opened wide as it swallowed Beldee.

…………

But the sight, the threat, seemed slower to Beldee today.

I didn't think it was horrible.

The threat and I didn't feel it.

- I can see.

The flow of magic, the orbit, all of it.

- I get it.

How can I wave a spear?

Where to pierce and wear it.

I understood all of that.

I can see the dots of light.

A few places on the black beast.

I can see the line of light.

A thread-like ray of light extending from the point of light.

Beldy waves her spear like spinning that yarn.

I don't need strength.

I don't even need speed.

However, my body moved so that I could see the line.

Wear.

"NUBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

And lightly - Gungnir pierced the black beard.

"Become...!?

A joker shouts his amazement as he sees the foggy black beard.

"The power... overflows..."

The result surprised even Beldy.

It's just that the only red spear she had was so strong that she didn't just say 'naturally'.

The true power of the Divine Killer Gungnir, combined with the dedicated left eye, is exerted for the first time.

Anything recognized as the owner of a gunnil is given an "eye” that sees everything.

Magic flow, signs, weaknesses, orbits.

The strongest eyes that can visualize all of that.

Beldee was admitted.

Her partner recognized the eye as worthy of giving - the true power of the God-killing Gungnir.

"-"

The joker bites his teeth.

"Duh, true awakening of power in the earthen pitch or whatever protagonist...... Well, then, it's like I'm Mitsuboshi, isn't it? I'm not kidding. I'm a sucker!

Countless identities appear from around the joker.

I can't use magic for nothing anymore.

Any more interference with the juncture.

Somehow, just this stature, I just have to tail this woman.

But against Beldy now, that was too bad.

Visible.

I can see the movement of my body, the flow of magic, all of it in my hand.

"Ha!!

Beldee waves the spear.

Stretching and stretching, Gungnil wears his body one after the other, stitching it together.

Split to go with a reduced number of occasions.

Joker rushes into the situation.

"... Awkward sss. What shall we do, what shall we do... Then I can't help Senior Lias..."

There's not much magic left.

I won't be able to maintain my boundaries.

I can't believe I'm dealing with such a troublesome guy in such a state...

"... hmm? No, wait, Sz. Nothing. You don't have to deal with him, do you, suss?

That's right.

If you're a troublesome opponent, you don't have to fight for anything.

- You just have to run.

Oh, dear. Only Berdie in front of me can be said to be a threat.

The fake black ants are still in nightmares.

I would give up my space, but I don't mind.

You just need to get back on your feet and set up some kind of surprise attack.

What a shift in ideas.

If so, goodness hastened.

"" Black Smokescreen "!"

Spray black smoke from all over your body.

I'm blind.

"Ha-ha-ha, I'm sorry, but let me pull this off once! At best, you're not walking the night lane alone!

Joker tries to escape by throwing up a throwaway dialogue like Sanoshita.

But...

"... That's a bad idea, Dodo"

Pompous, Beldee squeaks.

And

- Yeah, you're right.

I heard voices.

A clear, beautiful woman's voice echoes directly into the joker's head.

"Eh."

The next moment.

Bashhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! and.

All the black fog - fogged.

As if the magic itself had been “deactivated”.

"Become... ah... eh?

Joker knows this phenomenon.

Cold sweat tells.

Turning around, there was...

"Oh my... such a stupid ssss..."

Impossible.

That's what the joker shrugged.

Because he fitted his nightmare and couldn't get out.

It must have turned out to be an unspeakable puppet like an abandoned man.

And yet why,

"Why...... why are you waking up ssssssssssssssssss!!?

What was there was the figure of a black ant dressed in blue armor.

I woke up more than a nightmare, Anne's figure was there.

And the great sword in its hand shook straight down to the joker.

- Anne was drifting through the dark, deep darkness.

It was the worst nightmare I could think of.

Repeat it over and over, Anne had been shown over and over.

Feels like hundreds of years have passed in less than a few seconds in reality.

Anne, who had subdued her spirit to the extreme and had become just a doll, was drifting through the end of her nightmare, the darkness of ignorance.

I don't feel like doing anything.

I didn't want to think about it.

- Get out, I don't need you.

Earth's words in the nightmare refrain.

It erodes Ann's spirit.

Woo-hoo-hoo.

I can't believe you're replacing me, as much as you want.

Elibel is here.

It's plump.

Una is here.

Doss is here.

Torres is here.

Elja, Rasetz, Gonzo, Berk...

Nothing. Even if I'm gone alone, Master Earth won't be in trouble.

I can't help but tighten my chest.

Just to say that I happen to be the first person you meet.

Even if it wasn't me, wouldn't it have been something else?

Didn't mean anything to me in my actions?

It's nothing. I didn't have to be the one beside Master Earth, did I?

Doubts, doubts, humble feelings run around in me.

That's a very, very ugly emotion.

Jealousy, jealousy, exclusivity.

I want to be beside him more than anyone else.

I'm jealous that someone who's not me is beside him.

A black emotion that I can't help but paint Ann's heart.

Anne screamed again and again in a false dungeon.

- He wants to be beside you.

I cried out to all my family.

He asked me to accept me again.

But every time he refused.

The passion, the sword, even killed the family we spent together, albeit illusorily.

And I couldn't help but cry over the ugliness of my sexual roots that I could do that.

I've been so ugly.

Hurt someone. Or kill them. But I want to be there for him.

Yet - the answers that come back are always the same.

I don't need you. I don't need you.

Don't tell me!

Please don't say that!

I... Ann always thinks only of you...

Give me your sword just for you...

So... so...

- Get out of my sight.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

Bottomless despair directs Anne to bottomless darkness.

Only when the spirit wore off and Ann stopped thinking about one thing.

It turned out to be an unspeakable doll.

And her world closed.

In self-contained solitude, Ann was feeling happy.

Thus, without touching anyone, without thinking about it, without doing anything, you will not be hurt or rejected.

To the closed world of self-completion, Ann was fleeing.

Oh, I'm happy.

No one rejects me.

Complete, closed world.

Would there be any more happiness?

How could I have worked so hard?

I can't remember why, but I'm sure that's better than happiness.

Yes - Sonoda should.

"But - really, is that okay?

Unexpectedly, I heard voices.

A voice like a clear and beautiful woman.

That sounded somewhat clearer, even in this darkness.

Who's there?

Please don't come into my world.

"My world? That's funny, isn't it? Your world is not“ here ”. Isn't that right?

No, you don't.

This is where I am.

Nobody, nobody rejects me, nobody needs me, it's my only place.

There's no reason for that, is there?

A voice as if to grin.

How can you be so sure?

What do you think you know about me?

'I get it.' Cause... '

Because?

'Cause, you - aren't you crying?

Huh?

Touch your cheeks.

So, I first noticed.

Shizuku was wetting her cheeks.

It was overflowing from both eyes.

Eh.

How could I... cry...?

"There's no way that someone who can be satisfied in their own closed world can cry for someone. Isn't that more than proof that you haven't given up your connection to the Lord?

No, it's not.

Because he said he didn't need me...

Master Earth turned me down... but I couldn't give up.

Again and again, good luck, betrayed each time, rejected.

So......

Give up that you can't do it anymore...

But...

"But - you couldn't give up, could you?

…………

Oh, yeah.

No matter how many times I scorch myself into despair, I still...

I..., 'Ann' wants to be by your side, Lord Earth...

With that one, I want to laugh and welcome tomorrow.

Together, I want to walk away.

I'm just glad that's all.

It's just that that's all I want.

If that's what you're doing, I 'm-- Anne gets up as many times as she wants.

Someone's voice was laughing.

'That's what it is. Come on, get up.'

A dazzling light plugs in.

Someone grabs his own hand.

'Please, stop them and do it. I... couldn't save those kids. Please save those kids who are wandering around now. Give you the strength to do that. "

Ann's body glowed slightly.

Power overflows.

- What about you?

Ask, but I don't get the answer back.

I just felt like someone in the light, just a little, who looked like me, laughed.

That's right.

I'm not lost anymore.

Soon, the fog was clear.

- The nightmare, it's over.

The dream, I woke up.

"- Huh!?

The face of the joker under the mask is strong.

A moment of stiffness.

That was a decisive gap.

Anne doesn't miss that gap.

"Thank you, Joker... thanks to you, I was able to face myself"

"Behold... what are you saying?"

I was able to expose and confront all the filth in me, the strays, the weaknesses, the emotions, the thoughts.

I could know what was really important.

The nightmare is over.

Dreams are for waking up.

It makes sense to wake up from a dream and move on.

That's why this nightmare also made sense.

I could get over it.

So...

"That's it,“ Dream Mist ”Joker!!

"Uhhhhhhh!

Zdong!!! and.

Ann's sword hits the joker's body.

Pachin ', making noises, the joker's mask shattered and scattered.
