137. The disappearance of Allegro
“And as time passed, I realized that it was all ephemeral. After knowing that all of this is just a game for those outside Seion.”
“… How did you find out?”
Allegro smiled bitterly at my question.
“One day a guy called GM came to warn me. If you stimulate Heaven a little more, it could disappear in an instant. The reason he didn’t annihilate me is because of my singularity. I didn’t want to believe it, but at the same time I couldn’t help but believe it. Because I knew his power.”
“… … .”
Something gets stuck in the back of my throat and I feel stuffy and tickled.
NPCs have no substance. No matter how close human emotions and intelligence may be, to put it bluntly, it is just a lump of data. Heaven is an existence that can be said to be Seion itself. As far as I know, it is known that even Heaven’s Gate cannot easily touch Heaven, a super quantum computer. Since the game Seion itself was a cyber-earth created by Heaven, it is possible to push it all out and start over from the Paleolithic era if you wish. Of course, the users will all fall away and the game company will be involved in a lawsuit with astronomical damages… … . Anyway, if he knew that, it wouldn’t be unreasonable for the ending to end like this.
“It may sound funny to a user like you, but to me it meant that I finished the sword but couldn’t wield it.”
I kept my mouth shut when he said that I didn’t even have a chance to wield the weapon I had sharpened over countless years. Funny enough, I’m in no position to offer him any consolation.
‘Because I’m a user.’
Even now, the notion that he is an NPC is deeply rooted in a corner of my mind. It means that if you get out of the game called Seion, you can be dismissed as a mere phantom. Of course, people who completely immerse themselves in the game and abandon their assumptions in reality and choose an NPC or choose suicide because they are pessimistic about the death of a loved NPC sometimes appear in Internet articles, but I was not so immersed.
This is the distance between the user and the NPC outside of the role-playing game.
So, on the one hand, I’m really sorry. Because I was a human like the people who created this Seion game. Now that we know that things that we pass by as just amazing can become things that are stuck in their bones and remembered for tens of thousands of years.
But… … .
woo woo woo… … .
The next moment, my eyes suddenly went dark. As if the power had been turned off, Allegro’s voice was heard as my head was filled with bewilderment at the sight that had completely turned black.
“That’s why I’m going to hand over my everything to you.”
“Yes?”
“I’m sorry.”
woo woo woo… … .
[The traditional magic of the ancient elven empire Indegracia begins.]
Geeying!
The low-pitched vibration gradually got stronger, and shapes of six different colors, large and small, appeared in Allegro’s small room and began to become entangled like a spider’s web.
“Ugh… … .”
I can’t move. My whole body is under enormous pressure, and all I can do is stare at the allegro in front of me.
“What is this!”
“This is the imperial vision of the ancient elven empire Indegracia, and it is a secret technique to create a single superman when the empire is in crisis. It won’t hurt you, so don’t resist.”
It is not a question of whether it is harmful or not.
“Why did you do such a secret technique to me… … !”
“Didn’t you tell me? NPCs can’t attack him. So, isn’t it natural to hand it to someone who can attack it?”
“I have no intention of destroying Seion.”
“I have no intention of forcing it on you either.”
“Then why… … .”
“hahahaha, think about that later. Anyway, you’d better keep your mouth shut. If the secret technique fails, it is a secret technique that will not end with your avatar dying… … .”
“Grunt… … .”
I want to give Allegro a slap in the face, but unfortunately his body won’t move. Besides, his eyes as he performs the esoteric technique are somewhat vague.
There is also a way to force termination, but I bit my lip, deciding that it would be better for the avatar to cooperate with the secret arts rather than remain here.
“Good idea. Elksedge… Tyrragul… Akpro Ono… Garverick… … .”
Tsutsutsut… … .
As the secret arts progressed, the light became more intense, and thick beads of sweat began to form on Allegro’s face. Before long, a huge two-armed scale appeared with me at the center.
[Due to causality, 10m in all directions turns into a reset area.]
“Niad… Karum… Leif Sting… … .”
The Philosopher’s Stone in Allegro’s hand was placed on one side of the two-arm scale, and the scale tipped towards the Philosopher’s Stone with a thump. Suddenly, an ominous feeling passes through my mind. The Philosopher’s Stone occupied one side of the scale. That means something has to be put on the other side, and judging from what Allegro has said so far, it’s… … .
“Stop!”
“Niad… Naka room… Leif Sting Allegro Ron Indegracia… … .”
A transparent energy rose from Allegro’s body and seemed to gather on the scale dish on the other side of the Philosopher’s Stone. Red energy emanates from the Philosopher’s Stone on the other side and flows into me. And messages popped up in front of my eyes one after another.
[Imperial secret skill ‘Hero’s succession’ begins.]
[Heir Kay Ironwood]
-The rank of the successor is extremely low, limiting the efficiency of succession.
– Start succession.
– The inheritance of experience begins.
-One%… 3%… 11%… … .
Succession of skill experience begins.
-One%… 2%… 5%… … .
I want to stop this esoteric as soon as possible, leaving the question of whether this is possible.
“damn… … .”
When I first received the quest, I thought that I would be trained by him to bloom the Aura Blade, just like when I was taught before. But what Allegro is doing now is not on that level.
“Why are you doing this!”
Allegro smiled faintly at my cry. The meaningless laugh comes ominously.
“Actually, even the will to take revenge has faded. All I want is to be free from this life where I am swayed by them, but I tried to be patient, and in the end, it turned out that it was because of the power I possessed. So shut up and take it.”
“Why is that target me?”
“hahahaha. Didn’t you come to get the true secret of the sword of destruction?”
“that… that… … .”
“Shut up and take it.”
The transparent aura from his body grew stronger.
“Anark. Nia Doom… Laganga… turn it off… … .”
As the transparent energy that was pulled out grew stronger, a groan escaped from Allegro’s mouth, and in the end, a trickle of blood flowed out. Obviously draining his life force. But he didn’t stop. Rather, the voice of memorizing secret arts grew louder, and each time the transparent energy exploded and accumulated on the other side of the scale and flowed into me.
how much time has passed like that
Awesome… … .
The scale dish containing the Philosopher’s Stone began to rise slowly. It is a Philosopher’s Stone that has been reduced to fit, but it has enough Allegro’s power to converge to the limit of causality on the other side. And it seems that the secret art ends when the center of the scale is completely parallel.
“after… … .”
I let out a sigh of relief.
It was because Allegro’s face, which was performing the esoteric, was turning blue because he was tired of whitening.
I really hated doing this without my permission, but I hate Allegro for that, so I like him more and there are a lot of things I want to learn from him.
But… Allegro’s thoughts are different from mine.
“Niasser Lei… big… Karum… half… cool… … .”
Tsutsutsutsut… … .
The transparent aura that radiated from Allegro’s body turned white.
The energy enveloped the entire scale, and the scale dish with the Philosopher’s Stone, now almost completely gone, began to go down.

“Aww!”
Huge messages filled my eyes. What I intuitively knew was that Allegro had handed everything over to me.
“no!”
Allegro’s body began to turn gray. It loses color as if a black and white blur was added to a landscape painting. And now I think I know. What Allegro wants… … . He intends to hand over all of himself to me and exit this world forever.
“Whoops, you shouldn’t regret like I did, using your current helplessness as a fertilizer.”
said Allegro, waving his hand. with a bitter smile on his face.
