I moped and felt it on my body for the first time.

This silver liquid is what magic takes shape.

The magic of the artificial empireo drizzled and smudged out of the petals, trying to transform the bears into biological parts one by one.

But he was afraid.

You must have feared the red sword I had and thought you couldn't beat me as you are now.

So all of a sudden I'm trying to take in Beato and get full power.

I'm rapidly changing that kid's body and trying to be a part of his own.

... I'll never let you do that.

(... Beat was being moved more and more by the fundamental)

If we go downstairs, we should get to Beat.

A little further along the silver liquid with zero vision, it went out into a thin tube full of translucent black liquid.

This liquid, apparently, is oil.

(You mean this bucket of oil is moving all over your body like blood)

Of course, this oil has plenty of magic as well as the main body.

Trying to burn it with normal flame or flame magic would be ineffective.

Anyway, now, above all, helping Beato is the top priority.

If you attack badly, Beato might roll up and eat.

I arrived at the end of the tube with no creepy resistance to being stuck in my body.

There was a thin membrane strained at the bottom, and over there I could see the light.

If I slash and tear with my sword, my body will also be poured out with the oil that flows out.

"Pfft......! Beat is..."

Looking around breathlessly, Beato was quickly found.

It's not exactly a bear, it's a silver pile with a bear on it.

What happened to the membrane was a space made of tentacles of the machine.

Probably around the roots of the artificial empireo.

In the indentations made in the middle of this space, a round circle of bears fitted perfectly.

Looks like more tentacles are wrapped around it and more and more artificial Empireo magic is being infused.

"Beat!

Tentacles tease my ankle the moment I try to rush to the heap to slash my tentacles.

Well, I thought this would happen.

If it wasn't Beat who was taken in, I wouldn't have made a fuss like jumping into the enemy's stomach either.

But Beat's life is at stake.

I'll do whatever it takes, and I'll do whatever dangerous eyes you have.

"That's why it frightens me."

"Try it, you bucket of stuff... Huh!

Slash the tentacles around your ankles with a red sword.

Immediately after that, now the tentacles wrapped around his right arm, left leg, neck and stomach.

"Gu......!

You're going to strangle me and try to strangle me.

Do you ever get hit that easily?

Immediately hold the sword in your free left hand and slash and carve your tentacles.

"No smell, no smell."

The moment I was free, now more than double the number of tentacles hit me.

Shit, I'm too sorry to avoid it, so I'll do my best.

I need to do something about this tentacle and help Beat.

I'm talking about how we can help.

(Coating Beato's body is a consolidation of artificial empireo magic. If so......)

This sword should be able to destroy the coating.

There's a chance we can help Beato, right?

The possibility is not zero.

... Yes.

Maybe.

I mean, I might not be able to help.

"... Gu"

Beat's body is shattered and scattered with each coating, and that child's body is scattered in this space in pieces.

I imagined such a sight, and my sword-watering hands tremble.

... No, focus.

Now, anyway, do something about this tentacle.

"Shinshin, shin, shin, shin, shin, shin"

The tentacles of the machine are playing more and more from the edge of the slash.

... think, don't give up until the end.

There must be some way.

"... Beat!

I don't know if I can hear you, but I'll call Beat out loud.

It also makes sense to inspire (kobu) yourself that it's going to break.

"Just wait a little longer......! Always, always help...... Huh!!

In a dark space, I was floating puffy.

Dark, no-one spaces anywhere.

Somehow, I know it's not real.

It must be in my heart here.

It is in the heart of the mechanical god (Pyrea exmakina).

In this dark space, suddenly she appeared.

I'm Archbishop Fixer.

This guy has a lot to say.

"Fixer. Were you using your sister for this...?

"Exactly. Everything for me to be God."

Is it because it's not the real world?

A voice comes out of my throat.

I'm sure they're talking to each other's souls, like that.

"Come on, Beat. Let you be the same as me. It melts and becomes one, part of this new God. This has already been decided since you were born"

"... I don't like it"

"Why, why do you refuse?

Guru, and Fixer snapped his neck.

Instead of 90 degrees, nearly 180 degrees, I twist my neck and wonder as much as I feel like I'm losing my head.

That's when I understood.

Tell this person that there is no dialogue.

"It's so, so comfortable. It's comfortable, right?? Oh, it's comforting..."

For the first time her body collapsed, it turned into a flower of meat.

Raise your voice, which seems very pleasant.

This man is no longer human to his soul...

A tentacle of flesh extends from the fundamentals of the Fixer to tease my body —— my soul.

"... eh"

And he's been pouring artificial empireo magic into my soul.

Little by little, little by little, a very scary and disgusting feeling that I am no longer myself.

Will I remain the same as Fixer?

"--Ato......"

"... Killier,?

I just heard Mr. Killier.

That guy is almost there...?

I want to see that guy again.

I absolutely don't like being turned into a monster in this place......!

"--No,... Can you... eh"

"Mr. Killier...... Yes......, that guy never gave up at any time...... He still fights for me, without giving up... If so......"

No matter how strong they were, Mr. Killier didn't give up.

I'm watching. As hard as this one gets, I messed up, wore it down, and still won at the end of the day.

Then I too......

"Even I won't give up......!

I can tell by some sensation.

The artificial Empireo magic that is now flowing in me is the opposite of the real Empireo, and if you bump it, you can strike it off.

If it's stronger, it can be undone.

"Come on, Beat, come on, for one thing, Beat..."

"Absolutely..., I don't like it...! 'Cause Killier's here for me, so far...!

When you take me in completely, the link between Empireo and me is blocked.

For the first time, I became a part of this monster.

Then still, I'm still connected to Empireo.

If you're connected, you should be able to extract magic.

"So you... eh"

It calls to a different being, connected deep within the body.

Whatever that price may be, I will not regret it.

That guy's, if you can go back to Mr. Killier's.

So I drew on the magic of Empireo and shouted as much as I wanted.

Like my favorite Killier.

"You are alone, fuck you -!!

In the midst of shaking off tentacles, slashing them off, and repeated endless, invisible offenses desperately thinking about the means to help that kid.

Pi.

Beat's pile of buried silver made a cracking noise.

"No, no, no, no."

"Hey, what...?

Soothing magic that leaks out of a cracked skimmer.

That's so hard to compare to an artificial empireo or something.

"It's possible, it's possible."

I wander around so much that I don't have any more bucket stuff.

Tentacles trying to catch me also totally stopped moving.

"Agi, ahhhhhhh"

I heard Fixer's bitter groans,

Pakkkkkkkkkkk!!

The silver pile was shattered and scattered, and the tentacles that were wrapped around flew a thousand pieces.

And it emerged from the shattered heap of

"Beat......?

Thin, blue, white hair.

Blue eyes as deep as the sea.

I don't wear anything but collars and hair decorations.

It's not too bad, my dearest was there.

"………………"

Beato looked at my face, and Nico laughed at me, and then

…… ……

He loses consciousness and falls into the spot.

"Beat!

I rushed right over and supported my thin little body.

The soft, soft feeling I feel in my arms.

He's alive.

He's breathing, too.

"Good, he's alive..."

Horrified from the bottom of his heart, he hugged Beat all the time.

It's been a long time since I've received my victory bluff, but don't feel it.

Earlier, I don't know what happened, and to be honest, I'm very worried.

But now let's be honest and happy to reunite with Beat.

Kill this pathetic bucket and go home with Beato.
