(EP.346)# 3
346 – Spider #3
Ira said.
“You can’t knock that guy down. It’s irreversible. Everything will fall apart, and everything will flow in. all, all… .”
Aira seemed to want to stop us from playing against number one Bael. Why? The reason is unknown, but Aira’s eyes are quite clear.
It wasn’t clear whether his mind had returned or if he remembered us, but there was something in his eyes that could be called a firm will.
“But, Aira-sama, if you don’t defeat that guy, you’ll have to live with that crouched guy for the rest of your life. One day, he might be strangled.”
Maybe the first and last day could be the only chance. If we don’t defeat that monster like this, the wounded and angry spider could rip Aira’s heart to pieces.
But Ira shook her head.
“It’s something I have to deal with. I have no reason to come and ask you for help now. If you take down that guy, everything will collapse. Barriers and people’s safety… !”
“Is the barrier going down?”
It was a very annoying word, so I harvested the magical energy I had been capturing. The barrier that Aira is talking about must mean the Great Wall – Clarisse that penetrates the northern part.
Suddenly, something flashed through my mind.
Shortly after Aira’s execution, a huge wall collapsed and the demonic forces rushed into the world.
If Bael was supporting the wall with some kind of strength.
As Aira was executed, Ars Nova Bael, who was in her inner life, disappeared together, so if the wall collapsed, many things were explained.
“It doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not. The world needs that guy. That’s the weight of my crown. One of the undisclosed secrets… .”
“secret… .”
My butt hurts.
In the end, I was faced with a choice.
If you defeat that monster like this, the wall will collapse after a while.
But if you don’t defeat that monster like this, Aira’s life will suffer forever. Sacrificing cows for the sake of the generations was, in a sense, a reasonable act.
Of course, for me, Aira’s calculation method was wrong.
Sometimes one is better than all.
For me, Aira was just that. She, whom I have worked so hard to protect so far, is more precious than the people of Chun and Man, who honestly don’t know their faces.
Shh.
Ira grabbed my hand, perhaps noticing my decision.
“Tae-oh… .”
I also hold Aira’s hand like that.
“I told you. I will save you.”
At my words, Ira slowly closed her eyes. All the chaotic situations around her are lumped together, and she becomes quiet as if she is the only one left in the world.
Her breath and scent, her hair gently swaying. Wet lips and dripping water droplets were very beautiful things. Even though I know that this is a dream and a lie, my gaze is taken away.
“… Why are you doing that for me?”
why.
When I asked why, I was speechless for a moment.
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No, I actually knew the answer.
“That’s me—.”
But the answer from my lips never reached Aira’s ears.
The reason is that there were intense lightning strikes, pillars of fire, and what could be called an awl of ice, raging towards us.
He moved quickly to avoid the attack.
When I turned my head, Elgar and Mirna, who were fighting the spider, had a lot of injuries on their faces and bodies.
“This guy is getting more and more rampant! They even use magic on the spider theme! Hey, Tae! Is the next magic far away!”
“A candle is the brightest right before it goes out. The fact that this guy is running rampant means that the limit has come so close!”
The situation between Elgar and Mirna seems urgent. Although they are holding up well, it seems that they lack the decisive fighting power to defeat the wounded monster.
wooo much
That was then.
The nine legs of a spider move in a strange way. At the same time, a magic circle in the form of a red circle appeared around his body.
What it is forming is a long black spear.
The 7th rank magic, Gungnir, that I shot.
I felt a chilling goosebumps that he was chanting the same thing. If you get hit by that, Elgar and Mirna, who are exhausted now, will disappear in an instant.
You have to block the chant.
Or you have to turn the track.
I suppressed my spiky hair and squeezed my magic power. But the spider monster’s magic chant far exceeded my expectations.
The tip of the spear he fired was fired at me without even having to do anything with my hands. Wasn’t it me, not Elga or Mirna?
extinction.
Death comes to mind. No matter how quickly I chant the protection magic, I don’t have enough defense to block that power.
Are you failing like this?
As I was swallowing my resentment, I felt something pushing my back with strong force. When the body that had floated in the air was slammed back into the floor.
when I lifted my head again.
I could find a nymph spewing blood pierced through a gigantic spear.
“… Hey, me, why-“
The guy didn’t seem to understand what was happening to him. Perhaps pushing my back or blocking the demon spear by myself was not an intentional act.
It was Elgar who screamed at that time.
“Leonor… !!!”
At that call, I too was awakened. I didn’t say anything, but I guess Elgar knew it too. who is this guy
“Did you tell me, my name… . I don’t know, I don’t remember. I can’t remember, but a familiar voice… . You must find your heart and get out of this castle… .”
life is falling apart
Although she knew this was a dream, she could not have been able to see the scene, so Elgar slowly closed her eyes.
A brief fleeting moment.
But that time felt like eternity. I don’t think that time will pass like a nail into my skin.
Shh.
Then Elgar slowly turned her back. with a pitiful attitude. It was a movement that even felt a bit cold.
“—-!!!”
Soon, she ran towards the spider with an unbelievably loud noise. It hits its huge body, crushes it, or even bites it.
It didn’t seem like a human way at all, but choosing revenge rather than mourning was a very Elgar-like act.
The spider, which had been attacking him, began to be greatly pushed back. Each time Elgar’s ax hits, the nine remaining legs of the spider fall one by one.
“… Little Lioness, it’s running rampant!”
Seeing that, Mirna trembled. It may have reminded me of the story of the Lioness Berserkers who pushed the people of the Draco family into countless hardships.
As long as this has happened, no one can stop Elgar. Even if his own body is broken or shattered, he will not stop acting.
“Grrrrrr-!!!”
It felt very beautiful, and at the same time I felt an indescribable sadness. He didn’t want to see Elgar suffering any more.
That’s one way.
Just to end this battle.
match.
I clap my hands and capture emotions and magic.
The 《Calm Thinking》 that I have was a very useful tool in this situation, so it helps me to sing magic without being swayed by sadness or strong emotions.
Although the skin all over the body tingles and the joints and bones feel creaking.

Can’t stop
Break the broken gears of this world.
8 ranks.
“dead march.”

“… … .”
When I woke up, I was lying on a soft bed in a sunny room.
I get annoyed by the curtains blowing in the wind, and I get up to see a pretty table, teacups, cakes and cookies laid out on a sunny spot under the window.
Sitting there is a woman with black hair.
I moved slowly and went out into the garden. The woman just sips the teacup in her hand, not paying attention to what I came out of.
“Ira-sama.”
“… … .”
“No, you are Bael.”
The guy looks at me to see if I’m close to the correct answer. It was both bizarre and eerie to see the corners of his mouth quivering to his ears.
“right.”
“Then stop pretending to be Queen Aira.”
“I like this look. it’s pretty too Also, I heard about it because I was with him for a long time. Or do you like the terrifying looking spider?”
Was he aware that he looked terrible too?
It was quite surprising.
He said whether he had read my thoughts.
“It’s not that I’m doing that because I like my country. Anyone who eats an endless stream of negative wastewater and garbage from the depths of their hearts would be like that.”
Instead of answering, I looked around.
Unlike the underground black waterfall where he was crouching earlier, this place is like a scene from a brightly shining tea party.
I asked.
“Where are you?”
To be honest, I wondered if I would get the answer I was looking for. But Bael, who put down the glass, answered with a calm voice.
“my dream.”
“your?”
“You guys also came into Aira’s dream and found me. But this time I invited you again. In other words, it is a dream within a dream.”
“… … .”
“Did you think it’s impossible now? Of course, it’s impossible for idiots. But for me, Bael, it’s a possible story. Because Solomon made me to do the impossible.”
“But you betrayed Solomon.”
Solomon’s traitor is this guy. I felt the battle with this guy.
Arsnova who handles high-ranking mages with freedom. If such a guy betrayed and fell into the hands of the enemy, it would have been natural for even Solomon, who had reached the 10th rank, to fall.
Bael laughed at him. I didn’t like him because he looked just like Aira, and he felt close to this guy. This guy is the enemy. You’re trying to dazzle me with a friendly look.
the guy said
“Your story is half right and half wrong. I betrayed Solomon. But it wasn’t because of me that he fell. It was just the way it was.”
“How can that be?”
“Tae-oh, you must see me as an enemy. But no. Your enemy is not even this poor queen child.”
“… … .”
“You really don’t know anything. Indeed, there will be no choice but to Because they kept your existence a complete secret. At the same time, I kept everything a secret from you.”
I couldn’t understand it well.
I could see that Bael wanted to tell me something very important. So I decided to listen more to his story.
“Tell me what I don’t know. The reason that you brought me to this place in the first place is probably because I want to tell you about them.”
Otherwise, there would be no way to do such a cumbersome task. It’s not like we’re drinking tea with each other looking at each other’s faces. bael says
“Tae-oh, do you believe in fate? pure. rise and fall. To be born again, to shine brightly, to crumble, and to fade away.”
“You better not try to fool me with such a pun.”
“Anyway, can you deceive Yoseung Tae-oh’s Gospel? But I mean. What I’m trying to say is true. once in a thousand years. This world takes a new form.”
bro wtf
