episode_0071

A loud noise caused by the bombardment of golden cats.

The head of the ‘snake’ cannot move, perhaps due to shock.

Among those confusing scenes.

Ofnir threatened, raising his forelimbs that looked like those of a mantis.

“You call yourself a god? You’re arrogant, you’re arrogant… ! An inferior species that is only fading away in the movement of the stars, dare to discuss God? Sigh… ! Those who don’t know who they should serve… !”

Under the cloudy sky,

The shadow created by the huge blade is cast.

The two front legs are stretched out like a believer praying toward the sky.

A truly angry [Priest of Conflict].

Uncharacteristically for someone who is always full of ridicule, the murder on the blade became darker than usual. And in accordance with the movement, tens of thousands of weapons decorate the cloudy sky. The power of the ‘snake’ made of black ether arose countless times.

Rumbling──!

At the same time.

The floor swells and throbs with black ether.

The ominous voice and presence tremble, stimulating the five senses.

An environment created as if it were an imminent emergency situation.

“… !”

“… !”

Hilde and Freya sense an unusual change.

They hurriedly got into a battle stance. And even now, he tried to charge towards Ofnir’s open body.

“Jo, be careful… !”

“Lara, the floor… !”

“Yes☆ I know─♪ That guy seems to be trying to summon a lot of clones this time☆ Since I was seen through it once, it seems like I’m in a hurry─☆ But if I go in now, I’m sure I’ll be taken by surprise~ Just wait a moment♪”

“What… ?!”

The two people stopped in the same position as if they were about to run away.

Offnir’s disapproving sigh was heard as he looked at them. The sound was so quiet that Hilde and Freya didn’t seem to hear it…

“… Tsk.”

okay.

That guy is always like that.

No matter how different it was from the movements in the game, that tendency was still the same. And my cognitive ability was able to detect and find each and every one of those signs.

‘He’s like a guy who pretends to have a bug by moving like he’s dazed, or uses background music and graphics to use counter patterns that appear when the player flinches… ‘

Spoiler for the deceased character’s strategy.

I carefully looked at the guy’s facial expressions and carefully held the golden cat dagger. Rota’s voice seemed to come faintly from the palm of my hand.

“Da, how did you do that…? ?”

“… ”

But Freya seemed puzzled by my confident attitude. Hilde also seemed to have a lot to ask, but she was keeping her promise to trust me.

‘Well, the fight I had with the guys, it was always me who was at the center of that bad relationship… And now I think we all need to take measures against the ‘prophet’… ‘

I couldn’t live with misunderstandings about [Faded Spiral] or anything like that forever. Wasn’t Hilde already worried because she thought the golden petals flowing out of my wound had some grand meaning?

“… ”

This fight is not the last time.

Let’s use this as an excuse to really move forward.

Once this fight was over, I felt like I would have to tell many stories.

‘I don’t know how much you will believe me.’

my memories.

my memory.

my heart… My heart is still shaking.

‘Toward you… My heart too. Not sure yet… Including everything.’

I looked at Hilde next to me.

There was still no sign of shaking in the two silver eyes that met each other.

Grumbling—!!

Fluctuating lightning flashes and illuminates the silver-white girl.

Hilde held a huge lance, raised blue-white ether, and looked at me quietly. She had a lot to say, but she only said one word to me.

“I’m happy to be able to fight with Lala again.”

“… ”

My heart swelled because of his pure heart, and I answered playfully to cover up my embarrassment.

“This time we are fighting against the same opponent─☆”

“… I’m happy about that too.”

“Me too─☆”

“That too… I’m happy.”

“… ”

really… When will I be able to win over this girl again?

Rather than the road to the state of no end,

I thought I needed to learn how to overcome human relationships.

With that thought in mind, I blurted out an answer.

“… I’m glad I can fight Hilde too.”

“… Yes!”

He seemed finally satisfied with my answer.

Hilde smiled faintly and nodded. I could smell a subtle mint scent from my flowing silver hair.

A smile without any hesitation.

For some reason, I was embarrassed to see that smile, so I turned my head forward again.

“… ”

Upright

Now the friendly purple cat ears are pricking up.

Wow!!

Freya slowly activated the [Spinning Wheel of Eternity] behind her back and spoke in an absurd voice. In that voice, the hostility that had built up like a thorn was no longer found.

“In this situation, uh, it’s quite difficult, you guys… ”

“I’ll tell you a lot about the stray cat~♪ Oh, and while we’re talking, let’s have some girls’ talk… !”

“Okay, that’s okay… And how long will it be a stray cat? My name is… !”

Rumbling──!!

“… !”

“… !”

“… It seems like it has started.”

Black ether slowly boiling.

The ground we stand on… Black ether flowed from the ‘snake’s’ head. Various signs were slowly emerging from the turbid floor, as if it had been made by mixing different colors of paint.

Offnir’s clone creation pattern has been prepared. However, he did not have the aura of a successful person.

“… ”

A purple spinning wheel starting to turn.

Blue-white lightning that sparkles and blinks endlessly.

And the cat weapons that are firmly behind me.

We are also fully prepared and ready for battle.

‘It’s enough to cut down the minor mobs, but that guy’s counter attack is really painful. Rather, it is more profitable this way.’

Pretending to reveal a gap, Ofnir, who was preparing a counter, lowered his blade-like front leg in vain.

“… ”

However, even though his specialty counterattack pattern failed, he seemed completely unfazed. Rather, he seemed to have understood something.

“… He’s a dangerous guy. perhaps… Even more so than the [Blue and White Thunder Spear] that killed the old man… The traces of a ‘prophet’ are always like that… ”

“… Old man?”

Hilde asked a very small question,

Ofnir did not answer but glared at me.

“kekeke… I see. Now I understand… In this [conflict], my real nemesis is… It was you.”

A low, muttering voice, as if realizing something.

[Priest of Conflict] Ofnir spoke in an emotionless voice for the first time.

“Yes, you… I need to kill you right here. Maybe even this belongs to my [fate]… For the things that remain in the future… ”

“Are you saying that to yourself? He’s such a troublemaker that I can’t stop him─☆”

“… Yes, I declare before the center of this universe.”

Rumbling──!!

The black ether rises in waves like a sea of mud.

Black weapons fall toward us like heavy rain.

Shoo shoo shoo ──!!

Wow ──!!

Hundreds of self-immolations with solemn expressions.

Ofnir’s clones attacked us. The deadly force contained in the black ether contained in their outstretched hands spurted out like a storm.

“The traces of another ‘prophet’… !”

“Must… !”

“Must be killed… !”

“For the coming era of chaos──!!”

“Must be killed… !!”

“For my true God!! For the cycle of [fate]!!”

“Must be killed!!”

“Everything must be torn to pieces and killed!!”

[Everyone disappear in the conflict──!!!]

Black weapons raining down from the sky.

Dozens of clones rising from the ground.

The cries of a priest who swings a huge blade in the distance and creates a black wind. A fierce storm of death.

“… ”

In every sight.

I moved forward and caught my breath.

With the help of golden ether, [Spiral]’s cognitive abilities are raised.

“Hueup… !”

A world of moments.

Gooo──

Everything moves slowly.

The flow of all existence begins to become visible.

Like everything flows in water.

I can feel the sounds and waves of everything approaching and shaking. I can feel the sense of air and existence that makes up the world. Everything in this world is made to flow.

My love, my friendship, my memories…

My anger, my despair, my enemies…

Everything flows.

Everything flows and vibrates.

It endlessly collides and resonates with the world.

We recognize all those ‘moments’ by calling them ‘world’.

A dagger spinning in your hand.

I held the golden dagger backwards.

Ji-ing—!!

The girl’s memories flowed from the golden dagger. That golden memory, filled with the warmth of an evening sunset, resonated and seeped into my heart.

Lothar’s dream.

My older sister passed away early due to illness.

Memories of holding hands and playing with her in the golden garden.

A golden dream I had after hearing the story left behind by the [Golden Witch].

-You know, sister… ! I’m going to create a wonderful magic where everyone can get to know each other! I will create the prettiest magic in the world!

-Yeah, cool! Lotta can definitely do it!

-okay? yes? I will have a lot of friends like [Golden Witch], right?

-huh! You will have many friends who support your dreams… !

I secretly laughed.

‘Yes, it was a really wonderful dream.’

A true dream that only one person believed in.

That’s why it was buried somewhere in Lothar’s memories.

At this moment, the memories had become a fairy tale and were seeping into me.

Dreams become memories.

Memories become fairy tales.

Fairy tales flow through the heart.

Everything flows like that.

The world existed in such a beautiful flow.

I stretched my arm back to swing the dagger.

Then, dazzling ether shined from the golden dagger,

It filled with countless memories and gave me strength.

I swore to Lotta’s older sister, who appeared in a golden fairy tale.

‘I will support that dream too. Please watch from there. I must… I’ll make sure everyone gets a happy ending!’

In the memory, she looked at me and nodded.

-… thank you.

“… !”

Is it an illusion?

Is it an illusion?

Even in that unknown miracle… Everything was flowing.

Everything flows and [vibrates].

And [vibration] gives rise to ‘change’.

The power to ‘change’ the world as ether.

In this world, it is called [wave ether].

I looked at the endless crowd of enemies and swung my dagger. What was contained in the golden, brilliantly shining trajectory was the heart.

In front of everyone else.

Swing at your enemies.

I go beyond nothingness and head towards nothingness.

World, change according to my will.

This is not a simple swing of power, but a strike of martial arts.

[Spiral] goes beyond the non-polar and towards the non-polar.

With that in mind, I uttered my second utterance.

“[Blue Sweet Macaron]──!!”

Paaa!!

A swinging dagger.

Golden ether begins to glow at the tip of the dagger.

The endlessly compressed ether blinks white.

And like a spring being released, waves of ether advance.

A [wave] of deafening destruction.

They flowed towards dozens or hundreds of enemies.

Kwaaang—─!!!

“Khaaagh?!”

“Ugh!!”

“Kuhgh?!”

If [Red Flower Darjeeling] is a simple flash of destruction,

[Blue Sweet Macaron] was a wave chasing the enemies.

Countless clones were shattered and disappeared with a single blow from me. But that alone wasn’t enough to crush them all.

But there was an attack coming from behind to help me.

Waves of purple armor.

A charge of blue-white lightning.

“Lala!!”

“Rude!!”

The shouts of [Purple Spinning Wheel] and [Blue and White Thunder Spear].

The waves flow.

Moving forward in the flow of power.

“Ofnir─!!!”

I approached Ofnir faster than anyone else.

Eyes focused on me.

Ofnir retreated to avoid the wave of [Blue Sweet Macaron] I fired. An eerie sound emanated from his wide spread wings. The green body nimbly flies into the air.

“Haaa!!”

Ta-tat!

I jumped up and chased Ofnir.

Ofnir crossed his huge arms and launched a black whirlwind towards me as I approached. They came with a sharp sound and came to cut off my neck.

-Aeowong──!!

Another golden cat being held in one’s arms.

Eventually it turned into a dazzling golden window.

I held the spear high and went through the rushing whirlwind.
