Inside the incarnation’s mouth, the door leading to ＜Underworld＞ was open.

thought was short. He was far more cunning than I thought.

Even though he said he would do anything, I thought that his spirit would still stay in the incarnation.

The reason he spoke was not to disturb my mind, but to hide the fact that he had already escaped from the incarnation.

“crazy… … .”

“Yes, the thirst for victory is enough to drive a being mad.”

If I had a normal mind, even if I opened the door to ＜Underworld＞, I wouldn’t judge that I would be near the door.

No wonder.

Doors don’t always open in one direction.

If Tia were to bombard the door, everything around it would become a sea of fire.

Perhaps in real life, Tia is pouring her magic excitedly toward the places where the doors are open.

“Aren’t you afraid of solvents?”

If Tia had even appeared here, the [Pyeongwang] standing in front of the door would be scattered to dust.

It was as if [Myungwang], who should have been in the safest place, jumped into the threat of death himself.

A chill runs down your spine at that bold decision.

“You can’t win by staying in a safe place because you’re afraid.”

[Myeongwang] Thanatos is a monster comparable to Tia, if not as good.

The mere presence of him is enough to rip your body apart.

“Ugh… … .”

Don’t stop thinking yet.

Even if you fall into a trap, it’s not over yet.

You shouldn’t be so distracted. There must still be a way.

Yes, just close the door.

[Myungwang] is now mortally wounded.

Eleanor’s strike, which had obviously stained everything, reached the [Pyeongwang].

The wound that runs from the shoulder to the chest proves it.

[Myeongwang] can’t move yet.

“Hmm.”

stepping out again

The door is still unstable as it was not prepared with time in advance.

Didn’t you stir up my spirit and even provoke me for that?

Now, you can close the door with just a little bit of damage.

However, as long as fraud is still spreading around, it won’t be able to reach it with any magic.

yeah, nothing has changed

one thing i have to do getting as close as possible.

And shaking the door in that state.

but… … .

“Can you?”

“… … .”

afraid.

The distance is now about 3 m.

If you get a little closer, you can break down the door with only intermediate magic.

But if I go any further than this, my body won’t be able to withstand it.

If so, there is one way.

[The Ruler of Mana Lv. 2]

“In the end, I have no choice but to rely on luck.”

don’t ask for much

At this distance, any advanced magic would be fine.

[Gust Piercing]

However, despite such a wish, what was completed was intermediate wind magic.

“Damn it… … .”

The [Gust Piercing], which shoots a storm spear, couldn’t even reach the door.

Before that, it was engulfed in fraud, and there was not even a breeze left.

I feel frustrated with despair, but nothing has changed in the end.

The idea of leaving everything to luck in the first place is simply wrong.

You just have to go forward again.

“Whoa… … .”

breathing becomes rough

It seems that my eyes are blurred by the sense of pain and death.

this is suicidal One more step forward and I will die.

If it’s now, you might still be able to get it back. You can run away.

Why should I do this for Marie?

– The sky here is clear and pretty.

Even if Marie dies, the development of the future will not change.

After all, she was destined to die.

Even if you just step back like this, you’ve already reaped enough.

-The clouds, the sun, and most of all, the clear blue color is really pretty… … yep, that’s what i was watching

Trying to get everything in your hands is nothing but arrogance.

Yes, obviously, but… … .

-Things that didn’t exist where I lived.

“Because I am an arrogant person.”

If so, that is enough reason for me to engrave it deeply in my heart.

I’ll get my hands on everything

It moves at the same time as you think. There is no more time to delay.

[The King] is right.

You can’t achieve anything by staying in fear.

“That’s reason enough.”

I stepped forward.

And the moment I stepped out, I was engulfed in intense pain and my vision was blacked out.

[Erosion degree 40%]

* * *

“You can’t forget.”

What I felt along with the intense pain was the fragments of memories flowing in again.

I saw Oz standing alone in the middle of a battlefield littered with corpses.

“Even if you forget everything else, you can never forget that one thing.”

Perhaps it was a promise to himself, Oz was muttering something to himself.

“What was my purpose?”

Oz muttered that while drawing the construction formula toward the air.

There seemed to be something lacking in the construction formula, which had never been seen before.

“So don’t stop trying.”

The compositional formula has been completed.

yes, it is finished However, despite its complete form, it lacks something.

“Don’t get lost in your purpose.”

And I already understood that lack.

To prove that Oz took on the challenge and reached the end.

“Don’t forget what we’ve been through all this for.”

“Isn’t this an appeal?”

As if it were natural, I started chanting short paragraphs of sentences.

The figure of Oz standing in the empty field is no longer visible.

However, in the air, the compositional spell that Oz had drawn in his memory was already in place.

『I speak to you who sit on the arrogant throne.』

All I can see is the whirling fraud and the figure of the [Myeongwang] looking at me with interest from beyond.

Fragments of Oz’s memories began to melt into the present.

『The beginning is fixed, but the end is not.』

magic and sorcery.

painting and song.

At the same time as drawing the magic formula, he sings to the world.

The only thing that was completed was magic with an intermediate level of power.

However, what is contained within it is the will of those who have caught up by studying and striving for that power to catch up to God.

The fruit of those who challenged God.

『Know that you have come to twist fate.』

divine magic

[Another Savior]

The divine arts using divine power had an absolute advantage over morale and magic, but there were few offensive effects.

Even if there were, most of them had low power, so it could be said that there was not much use unless it was against the dead and demons.

However, magic tends to have more destructive power.

“Is martial arts not enough?

What was born was a miracle close to a miracle created by a person who challenged divinity and stretched out his hand to its end.

An ability that has the nature of divine power, but is closer to magic in terms of power.

A 2m high divine magic greatsword began to appear above my hand.

Before the completion was complete, he grabbed the handle with both hands and rushed at it.

Since it was a sword made of magic, I didn’t feel the weight.

“Whoa… … .”

I don’t know how to handle a sword.

It’s magic anyway, so just wielding it would be enough, but before I knew it, my body naturally took a posture.

“Have you even dyed me?”

What came into my mind was the image of Eleanor striking the sword.

A product of hard work accumulated by Eleanor, who is crude but upright.

He stretches one leg forward, bends it, and holds it high above his dark hair.

“Huh!”

And at the same time as the point at which the shape of the sword is completed, the finished sword is struck along the trajectory at that time.

Kwajik!

The Greatsword of Light breaks down the door.

Bondi can’t close the door with only intermediate level magic.

However, it’s a different story if it’s a divine power that has the affinity for fraud.

The two react and interfere just by bumping into each other.

“… … It’s nonsense. How can you be a mere human?!”

“Now shut up and get out of here.”

The door to ＜Underworld＞ closes.

“Human beings dare not reach the realm of divinity… … .”

Kwajik!

And the blade that broke the door subsequently shattered the wand, the lock Marie was holding.

And the moment I broke the staff, I knew it instinctively.

“under! Is it worth the hard work?”

The key that [Myungwang] had was split in half.

* * *

Marie looked at Oz, who had collapsed from exhaustion in front of her.

I saw the figure of the saintess who was trying to approach Oz as she fell over and over again.

I looked at Noah, who was trying his best for himself, but reached his limit and collapsed while being overpowered.

I looked at Lucia looking at Noah.

I looked at the figure of the [King of Fist], who leaned back from a distance and quietly observed the situation this way.

“ah… … .”

There were so many things.

She had been reluctant to blend in with her surroundings until now.

Mari, who was born in ＜Underworld＞, was as good as dead alive.

When I was in ＜Underworld＞, I always looked towards the floor, and when I came to ＜Skientia＞, on the contrary, I just looked up at the sky.

‘It was such a scenery… … .’

Her eyes were full of tears, so she couldn’t see anything in front of her eyes, but on the contrary, she seemed to be able to see more than usual.

There is no longer any reason to turn a blind eye to the world.

she got her freedom

“What do you think?”

At that moment, a voice called her.

Oz Quo Vadis.

The person who broke his bondage spoke with difficulty while being treated by the saintess.

The voice that just a moment ago was full of anger and arrogance now sounded kind.

“what… … ?”

Marie replied bluntly.

He didn’t even know why he was doing that.

In fact, I should have bowed my head right away and thanked him.

But Marie couldn’t.

“I asked how it feels to be free from bondage.”

But Oz didn’t care about Marie’s attitude.

There was something annoying about that, but Marie tried to ignore that ungrateful feeling and said,

“Well… … .”

How should I answer? Marie looked up at the sky.

The sky of this world, which I thought was so blue, clear, and beautiful, no longer looked beautiful.

Even more beautiful things were around her now.

Recognizing that fact, Marie was able to realize how valuable she had gained.

“I don’t think it’s bad.”

lie.

In fact, she was feeling so elevated that she didn’t know how to express it, but Marie lied.

Like the tree frog in a fairy tale, she couldn’t be honest.

“yes? Well, life isn’t that dramatic.”

“yes… … ?”

Marie looked down at Oz, who had a sad smile on his face as if he was dumbfounded.

‘What are you talking about? Is there some hidden meaning I don’t know about?’

It was something I couldn’t understand at all.

I couldn’t understand why Oz, who should be living a more dramatic and dense life than anyone else, would say such a thing.

So is Marie.

Her life has changed dramatically since this moment.

“So what is the answer?”

“uh?”

“Have you thought about it?”

“… … no.”

To be honest, I didn’t have time to think about that.

How could you think otherwise when there is a person who is risking a risk right in front of you?

“Then think about it now. Until Arietta’s treatment is over.”

“… … .”

Marie started wringing her hair desperately at Oz’s words.

It was obviously an ordinary greeting.

When I asked to hear the answer, it was difficult, but I didn’t worry.

Because I thought there would be no answer anyway.

‘Rather than that, how should I respond to the target who risked death for me?’

The biggest problem was that.

heavy. Considering Oz’s tenacity to hear only one answer, it seemed that he would not be able to answer with a simple greeting.

I knew it was an excuse, but at the same time I knew it was the end of this affair.

‘mop… … ?’

Marie suddenly remembered the word and felt bad.

I didn’t want to end it.

Her relationship with Oz is only at the level of acquaintance.

Oz risked his life for her and challenged [Myungwang] to a fight, but she did nothing.

But all Oz wants is an answer to the greeting.

Then, what would happen if we ended with that greeting?

Wouldn’t the relationship between him and her go back to being acquaintances enough to greet each other like before?

‘I don’t like that… … .’

Marie stopped tearing her hair and took a deep breath as she looked at Oz, who was being treated.

I don’t know.

I don’t know what kind of person he is.

I still don’t know what kind of person he is who risked his life for himself.

“Ah, answer. did you think?”

Perhaps noticing Marie’s gaze, Oz started talking to her again.

Marie met Oz’s eyes. There was a color more beautiful than the sky she liked.

“no.”

In fact, it wasn’t that I didn’t have an answer in mind.

First of all, I tried to say thank you by starting with a simple regards.

But I quit.

“Nothing comes to mind.”

“What… … . Is that what you were thinking?”

“I can’t because I’m tired.”

“Ah, um… … . I guess so. You must have suffered a lot too.”

“Yes, I am very tired today. You must be tired today, so how about taking a break?”

Marie turned around so Oz couldn’t see through her lies.

Not yet.

I can’t do as much as the answer.

That is the only line connecting her and Oz now.

“Then next time.”

Marie made up an excuse.

“If you don’t think of it until the next time we meet, next time.”

I created an opportunity to interact with him several times.

“therefore… … .”

next.

Until now, it was a word that did not exist for Marie.

For her, who did not know that even tomorrow she would die at the command of the [Myeongwang], the word ‘next’ was a word that could not be rushed out.

But now it’s different.

The word ‘next’ contained expectations.

“Let’s say hello again and again.”

“yes… … . next time… … .”

Oz fainted at the end of those words.

It must have been difficult to break through the fraud of the [Myeongwang].

There would be mental fatigue as well as physical wounds, so he fell asleep while entrusting himself to Arrieta’s cozy divine power.

“thanks. Oz.”

Marie was born in death and had expectations for the first time.

She smiled, having only had an expressionless and hopeless expression on her face.

That expression was still a secret to the benefactor who saved her.
