On the steep roof of the library, the base of the Exploration Sect.

The rooftops around the spire, where numerous weapons were bombarded, were quiet. The fight between the roof and the ground protected by defensive magic just moments ago felt like a lie.

I was standing there on a flying sword.

“… ”

The violent mob wave stopped.

[Priest of Conflict], the clones left behind by Ofnir all maintained a cold silence. It was as quiet as the office scene the day after news of restructuring spread. Because of the silence where not even the sound of breathing flowed, I felt like I was trapped in a world of the moment.

“… ”

Ofnir’s numerous clones stuck out like cockroaches.

Those menacing black suns stopped their action all at once.

‘… Is it over? Ah, ah… ! ‘You shouldn’t say things like this.’

A line I almost said without realizing it made me break into a cold sweat.

If my identity was a passing Yellow Turban A, I would have died the moment I just said the line. However, since he did not utter the ominous line, nothing special happened.

Come to your senses… !

‘No matter how special the mob wave is, the opponent is a priest-level boss with basic ether resistance. Now I can’t catch him like the [Priest of Erosion]… I don’t know how long blindly hitting the clones with weapons will work. ‘We’re just buying time until Hilde’s hands are empty.’

I took a deep breath to keep from feeling tense.

“Phew… !”

Then, I vividly feel the cold texture of the red spear in my hand.

Boom!

A weapon given to Mila after buying a timidly frowning rabbit.

However, a very slight repulsive force occurs in a tightly gripped spear.

Feeling the repulsive force of subtly rejecting the other person, he smiles bitterly.

‘Is this because it was a weapon given by an explorer who is skilled in using ether? Unless it’s the weapon my cat gave me, I guess everything feels like this.’

In order to minimize the repulsive force felt by the spear, I adjusted my posture on the great sword controlled by Mila. However, visibility was not secured due to the ambiguous altitude.

‘If only I had a small radio or something, I’d like to ask Mila to raise my flight altitude a little more… ‘

But there is nothing like that here.

Inside the ‘Sage’s Room’, they will also be busy preparing for bombardment centered on Freya. Anyway, that side needs to be sorted out quickly so that full-scale support can come here…

I am the only one who has to fight directly here and now.

Safely physically removes random mobs until the main body arrives.

okay.

Mission reconfirmation complete.

In the breathtaking silence.

Because of the tension, several thoughts pass through your mind.

“… ”

If you overdo it this time and get hurt…

I am imprisoned in a cave where bad people go. If you’re trapped there, you’ll probably be punished by being cute and funny for cat events for the rest of your life, and being forgotten in the main story.

It’s not the players that I have to show cuteness and jokes about, but Hilde, who seems to be the likely cave owner. I had no idea she had a hobby of imprisoning her friends.

‘Is this a hell that can only be released by wearing shameless swimsuits and performing well in summer? ‘That’s a bit embarrassing.’

Interchange in the state of the natural body.

Even if you do everything else, that’s it… That was my final limit. Is that why you have always refused invitations from your juniors to take a bath together?

But I have to become Clara for the limited-time 5-star event swimsuit…

It is truly terrifying.

No matter how much it is a swimsuit… If one side wears a swimsuit, it is only fair that the other side wears a swimsuit as well. Hilde probably wouldn’t have worn it, saying it wouldn’t save her face. Then what is the difference between being naked alone?

Due to the tension, all kinds of bullshit is rising.

Suddenly, a vague sincerity came out of my heart.

‘… And if you ask me why I kissed you on the forehead, you won’t answer.’

Still clear… The softness I felt on my forehead.

Is it common for friends to engage in that kind of skinship?

I don’t know because I’ve never been a high school girl in my past life.

“… ”

While I was thinking about this for a while, I continued to roll my eyes and look around. Because of that, I showed more than three times the usual level of insight.

“… ”

sense…

Many black suns are still standing still.

While Ofnir’s clones stopped, the main body still did not appear… I wasn’t sure.

This is because my cognitive abilities were limited.

Presence detection range – Things happening beyond a radius of 100 meters could be seen with direct eyes. There was a possibility that the main body writhing in the nearby basement could be a decoy, so I held my breath and looked around.

‘Actually, this level of cognitive ability is beyond imagination compared to other [Unique Ether] abilities, but… ‘

This is the only specialty of [The Pink Spiral].

However, an individual’s ability is only at the individual level.

I guess it wasn’t enough for me to act as a human radar on my own.

“… ”

Among the numerous sounds of bombing.

Our standoff continued.

“… ?”

But now I started to feel a sense of discomfort.

From what I felt, the game of ice dancing continued for almost 2 to 3 minutes.

‘Did these guys just know the automatic tracking function mechanism of the ‘Sage’s Room’ and try to avoid it?’

I clicked my tongue inwardly.

If that was the case, I was scared for no reason.

He wasn’t the priest of Buntang for nothing.

How can you humiliate your opponent by using such a high-level fake?

“… ”

Dozens of Offnir with their mouths tightly shut.

Everyone stopped at the spot where they were about to rush.

As soon as they stopped moving, the lingering scent of black ether stopped flowing from their wounds. So, the barrage of weapons fired from the ‘Sage’s Room’ ignored them, and they moved away to automatically pursue their magic skills throughout the city.

‘I guess it’s because I’m busy with that… It seems like Mila has completely let go of control of the great sword.’

From earlier, the great sword no longer moved. After the strange situation occurred, it seemed like Mila, the rabbit buyer, had something else to focus on.

I glanced at the thousands of bombs rising into the sky.

Shuuu!

“… ”

Purple weapons ignore black suns. And like missiles, they were being fired all over the city. I couldn’t figure out why the Black Suns’ expressions were so cold.

‘Originally, in situations like this, the one who moves first is at a disadvantage… !’

Currently, I am receiving help from the ‘Sage’s Room’.

In that case, even if it is no longer flying, it is worth engaging in hand-to-hand combat.

I jumped from the bayonet and landed on the floor beneath the library building where they had emerged.

Taaa!

I grabbed the spear again and prepared to run. As I slowly prepared to turn their heads back into pots, I was mentally assessing the true meaning of this game of ice dancing.

‘Command confusion? No, all of the clones are connected to Offnir’s spirit anyway… Or, is the main body slowly coming out now? He’s not the kind of guy who announces an attack so openly… ?’

Ta-tat!

When I get off the bayonet and take a stance on the floor. One of the black suns that was icy in the distance spoke in a low voice.

“… Annyang. Munchu. Follicle.”

“What… ?!”

“Guan Yu. Equipment.”

“… ?!”

Swish!

I couldn’t help but widen my eyes and react to what he said.

‘How does he know the Romance of the Three Kingdoms generals…’ ?’

This is … A world in a fantasy game that has nothing to do with the original Earth. That’s why I couldn’t believe it when they suddenly mentioned the names of the generals in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Even that guy is the dark side of this world… A high-ranking executive of . The ability alone has a combat power equivalent to that of three [Unique Ether] abilities.

What comes to mind is despair.

Four wings spread out under the moonlight.

The [Priest of Erosion] was barely captured by burning everything.

‘no way… That guy is also possessed like me… ? The prophet that the [Priest of Strife] and the [Priest of Erosion] spoke of… ?!’

The guy called the Prophet was possessed in the game like me.

What if that prophet is the [Priest of Conflict] in front of me right now…?

‘In a trap… ‘Have I been caught again?’

As my heart beats like crazy, my mind turns white.

but.

There was one thing that came to mind.

“… !”

In a split second, I became certain of one thing.

no.

That guy is not a possessor or a prophet.

What comes to mind are the words the [Priest of Erosion] muttered.

『… And to think that [The Fate of the Three Heroes] would come together… 』

『… It’s really just what ‘he’ said 1500 years ago… 』

There is no way a [Priest of Erosion] would call a [Priest of Conflict] that name.

Even if she was possessed as a [Priest of Conflict] a long time ago, there is no way that a gamer of would not recognize ‘Clara’ of today.

‘… Ofnir is not a possessor.’

then… The identity of the ‘Prophet’ is not Offnir, the [Priest of Conflict].

‘But that guy remembers something from what I said and is thinking about it.’

Knowledge of the Three Kingdoms that I shouted out without thinking.

[Priest of Conflict] has heard from a prophet about the original knowledge in the game and stories related to the Three Kingdoms. And the [Priest of Strife] was convinced that I came from the same place as the Prophet.

‘I got caught shouting like a fool… ‘I learned something.’

[A ‘prophet’ does not have prophetic abilities but is a possessor.]

[And the ‘prophet’ is a person from the same place as me.]

[The ‘Prophet’ played the original game and is a character who was possessed from the past in the game.]

The most threatening possibility…

The possibility that Offnir is both a ‘prophet’ and a ‘possessor’ is completely erased. In its place, clues emerged that could lead to guessing the identity of the ‘prophet.’

With this realization, many of the stories that have gone astray until now become correct. Why was it that what the person with prophetic abilities said was not ‘the future of the current world’ but ‘original knowledge in the game’?

‘What you need to know from now on is… What is the ‘Prophet’ like? And how much does know about the possessed ‘Prophet’? ‘

Ofnir’s clone spoke in a mocking voice.

“kekekekeke… ! Yes, that was it! It was there too, right? I heard that for some reason it doesn’t seem right to me!”

“… ”

“Khahaha!! This is so… !”

I faced Ofnir’s clone.

Ofnir’s clone seemed to have guessed my identity after seeing my momentarily shaken gaze. The guy smiled brightly and had a confident expression on his face.

‘Depending on how much this guy knows about the ‘Prophet’… It may also depend on how much of my identity was revealed.’

The moment that thought passed through my head.

Rumbling――!

The floor shook as if there had been an earthquake, and numerous clones began to disappear. I could feel Ofnir’s main body, which had not moved far underground, approaching.

“… ”

The guy is coming.

Kwaaang-!!

The floor explodes like an explosion.

A huge hole formed when a crack cracks open.

And there, a strange dragon with a mantis-like body appeared.

Gooo――!!

“kekekekekeke… !”

“… ”

Ofnir’s main body clicked its huge claws and lowered its head towards us. Due to the movement, a musty smell spreads and a huge shadow is cast.

Appearance with hundreds of horns sticking out like thorns.

A chaotic dragon tribe that seeks to disrupt the order that exists in this world.

“… ”

While doing that, I got my mindset together.

‘If you provide support fire as much as possible from the wise man’s room… ‘How many minutes can I last?’

Ofnir spoke in a whisper in a creepy voice.

“Hand over the position of the ‘prophet’ over there, hehehe… ! Then I’ll spare you four years… !”

“… ?”

What does this mean again?

Ofnir must have thought that I was scared, as I stiffened from embarrassment, and continued my horrifying persuasion in an even more heated voice.

“It’s no use trying to hide it. Tsk tsk… A ‘prophet’ from outer space… It’s there too, right? Or should I personally search Academy City and look for ‘men who can’t use ether’?”

“… ?”

“Oh! Is this a noble attitude that thinks of its colleagues? Do you think I can’t find it? This is your last chance to make a living by selling your colleagues… ! Tsk tsk tsk… !”

“… ?”

Today, Rota is like this, Offnir is like that too…

I felt left out because they were saying a lot of things I couldn’t understand.

That moment.

Rumbling――!!

Quaaang――!!

Toward the giant mantis dragon.

Dozens of lightning bolts flashed and struck.

And in that huge sparkle, there was a girl holding up a spear.

Hilde spoke to Ofnir with eyes full of murder.

“Die.”

Uh, wait a minute, Hilde… !

There’s something I need to hear more from him… !

However, Hilde scattered hundreds or thousands of thunderbolts and rushed towards Ofnir.

Kwaaang–!!
