Last night-Magiland Guild dining hall--balcony
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRqMo5Cp0q
The night seems to be very long. On the eve of the decisive battle, everyone did not take a rest but walked and talked. The balcony is a popular choice for late-night chat. At night, there were 3 female seraphim talking. The night scene in the romantic literary world is always beautiful, but there was only a decadent scene here, not like this is a world of romantic literature anyway. After being ravaged by countless dragons and hellions, the scene was only beautiful from the point of view of the ruins.The faintly shining stars always hanging in the sky had become the only consolation in the scenery.

It is precisely because of the darkness that light is so cherished, and people want to hold on to that glimmer of hope, and the road behind it has long been buried in the darkness.

"You sure not to go with them? I mean this is certainly the last." Ophelia smiled, asking for answers knowingly.
Rose didn't feel irritated either. She didn't spare any effort to shook her head, speaking indifferently with the unfortunate prediction:
"It is impossible to go with them, I must give instructions here, and... if they fail, the next battlefield is here."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGXNwYLmRZ
Watching the scenery beneath the balcony, those memories calling to her. When she led the people here to answer the wish of the old mayor, she built a base to construct linkages between human and seraphim. When she was led by her old soul, completing the achievement last by her Shepherd's life. Those memories held emotion enough to lead her to sigh:" Afterall, I built this place, I think this is enough for me to defend this place until the end."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtzcdqwBIt3
Then, a seraph stepped next to Rose softly, once the queen of Hyland who work and fight hard for her people, also once the squire of Shepherd Sorey and Rose, devoted her life into both, even became a seraph, it didn’t change her mind and she is still there to support her friends.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dsodxj64R
Now, Alisha expressed her determination as the Vice president of Magiland and decided to follow Rose: “ We built Magiland and we will protect her together till the end.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCb7mnVVU5S
Rose turned her head, met Alisha’s eyes, smiled: “Yeah, Magiland would not stay without you.”
“Okay,okay, blind my eyes. It doesn’t matter to me, so you two are going to be the last defensive line.” Ophelia stated helplessly, these two know how to flash and blind her eyes like that.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu1flcaRMR
“Yes, it is to let them fight Tartarus focusly and without worry.” Alisha said.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc3Zcmq6B1
“I don’t particularly hold a comment against that. Though I would say, you two are still his squire after all the time.” Ophelia said while shrugging her shoulders.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhD5xWDc2a
“Nope, let’s take Sorey’s word here, I just want to help a friend, and I am doing it for myself. Tomorrow will judge the destiny of Magiland, what are you planning to do?”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGbLXoCaqv
Rose denied she was doing it because of being Sorey’s squire, though it didn’t really make a difference. To support him as people with the same vision, whether keeping the pact or not, they are doing this as his companions, then they are still his squire.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW3KpI5B8Ko
“They don’t need my help. I will just come back after setting up the large portal.” Ophelia said carefreely.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKocTjgnQv
“I thought you were interested in your lord.” Rose teased.
“I heard you were her companion.” Alisha said.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSKUlzFp13
“Companion? I don’t think so, we were just a team that shared the same need but with different goals. We used each other as we walked together.Yes, she is interesting but we are not companions.” Ophelia said.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgNpJosnkj
"You guys hold a deep relationship, but you are all being way too dishonest, whether it's Rokurou or you. Obviously, you will pay attention to her affairs and will be happy and sad for her, but you just don't know how to be frank. It is because you are friends that you can use to each other; and It’s because you are friends, you are willing to be used.” Alisha couldn’t believe the relationship between Velvet and her former companions. It can’t be said to be bad, maybe this is the relationship between wicked people. Still, she does think there is a bond between them, so she denies Ophelia's denial.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZdg1VcXuc
“……” Ophelia gazed at the serious vice-president speechlessly. This type of person is interesting to tease but also makes people feel tired, she doesn’t want to explain or refute.
“I believe you want Velvet to survive this battle, and I believe you also want to witness the way she survived.” Alisha added, since she was not willing to believe Ophelia’s indifference towards Velvet by what she defined as companion.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFnr9ugcc2
“That’s true,” Ophelia eventually gave up, she either can’t deny such feeling.
“Let her be, Alisha. She lived her whole life like that.” Rose smirked.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmqrl0DYHR
“Fine, fine……’my lord’ is so popular, there are people standing around her, and there are two knights by her sideas I have to look at her from a distance. Really...like a main character in an inverse harem game ," Ophelia looked aside unconvinced.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOo4NVuMyoX
"That said, you actually seem to be quite happy about this situation. It seems that you are not really being indifferent to anything~" Rose deliberately walked around her and pretended to whisper.
"It's just a whim. I just want to see more interesting things, and when the devil-pretending lord is in the group with the hero, things become more interesting." Ophelia continued to look for excuses to pretend not to care about Velvet.
"In my opinion, you seem to be jealous~" Rose teased her without giving up.
"...You are too young to guess my mind, Rose."
"You just don't want to admit it lightly. At this point, you are the same as Velvet and Eleanor," Rose continued.
"After all, people alike gather together." Alisha added agreeably, giving a reasonable reason for the three of Velvet, Eleanor and Magilou to walk together.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwx86IZ4gn
"Now, what happened to my request?"
"Already doing it, almost done."
"That would be great. I have no opinion on your decision not to stay there. It's better to say that this is a great help since we need force here too, thanks."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMvq4a1nYb
"Huh... actually thanked me, I don't think the sky will light up tomorrow morning."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUySZe6SmP
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemHkOeprF7
The 3 people are not exactly the same, but they also have a little hope for the future, and this hope for the future lasts until the next morning.
-------------------------------
In the morning-Magiland City gate-before leaving
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1tUEvLGKJ
The long chirping of birds cut through the silent air, the sky has not yet been fully lit, the sky is purple and iridescent, the distant mountains and natural stone pillars, and the fragmentary woods left after the war have become layers of black silhouette under the scattering of the fresh sunlight.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwRmPViV8I
Lit on the half-ruined city gate, it was the first morning after the last fierce battle. The great wall is breaking, so is the army strength. On this land which used to be peaceful, now recorded cruelty with hills of corpses and river of blood, desolations engulfed the land. However, no matter how many times they fall, they have to stand up again. Everyone is praying, and they are looking forward to a hope, it is all for their important people. The city is already scarred, but the other side is also the same. When it is a decisive battle, time must be tight. They all understand this and cannot allow the next attack to occur. They must be preemptive.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc8NyGvkhT
The group team up in the foreline, determined expression on their face is telling the importance of the victory, this would be the last battle. No, they must let this become the final.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhihfGBKJhF
"You all wake up so early, I think it is forgivable to have more rest."
As Alisha pushes Rose's wheelchair slowly, Rose shows up. Rokurou also followed to see the group off. It is obvious that Rose can't walk or fight directly on the wheelchair, but this is not putting out the flame in her heart, she would still do her best.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpfvnMCjLe
"I don't think we can have a peaceful sleep though," Zaveid smirked.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37N0lRFeLV
"Right, I am sorry about that, I look forward to good news from you guys," Rose said with a hope, praying for their return.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wRqWH7pgR
"And I expect we will get rewards." Zaveid added, but it seems just a joke.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhcBDCLAc4
"Okay, okay...You may expect." Rose responded somewhat perfunctorily, but she actually thanked them very much.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qlCeYdUW8
"This day has finally arrived." Alpha murmured. Recalling the experience so far, for his the cursed connection with Tartarus, he could tell that he has been living in Tartarus's shadow, no matter from being a homunculus or becoming a Shepherd or being defeated, he was the ultimately losing side and he almost lost hope.
Until he met these people, who once again awakened his courage and heart, told him that he did not have to fight as a hero, and guided him to have the desire of life. He felt that these people would not lose to Tartarus. This day is to cut off the chain of curse. The time has come.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPm21PvJBVy
“The remaining time is not so rich and this would be a harsh fight, are you ready?” Rose reminded them about the situation and their aim, stating the risk. There is no next chance for this battle, the attack from the opposite side is imminent at any time.The defensive battle is meaningless and only increases the casualties, so they must break through their base camp before the next attack.
"We must go all out." Sorey said with his enlightenment.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsXDgAG95E
"Very well, then start a temporary operation meeting. This time you are going to the Great Rift Valley near the earthpulse point. It is the last protection of the few unspoiled nature in modern times." From Rose's description, Sorey can recall somewhere he visited during his travels, there was a malevolent crucible, which was used to cultivate hellions, and naturally it is the most suitable location for the Tartarus base. That was a place surprisingly near to here.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7b0RCdKRc
"Then she will take you guys to the destination." There is a large car in the direction that Rose showed. Although I have seen similar objects in Ladylake, it is the first time to see it up close. In terms of size, it is estimated to be a car that can carry 7 people. It is very ordinary but feels very sturdy. A familiar girl leaned on the car door, standing with her arms around her chest, as if waiting for someone. Beta looked at the whole team, carefully estimated it, and thought that the two people he first met were finally dragged into a battle of this scale. It was incredible to think about it. She didn't know what the two people were in the past, but their resolution was genuine. She felt that they really wanted to protect them, so even if she still didn't like Velvet, she would still go to help them with all her strength.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hE3LhiRiK
Seeing that Beta was the driver who picked them up, there was nothing to complain about. After the first battle of the purification hellion Velvet, everyone knew that Beta was a person who would seriously do what she could do, as an incompetent person. It is worthy of admiration to try their best to participate in such a battle. They all believe in Beta's personality and ability. It is a bit surprising to everyone that she can drive. Everyone is planning to get in the car obediently when the scream "Bi-en" broke the serious air.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiouPJGjXCk
The group only heard the mechanical sound beating something rhythmically. Turning their head and looking at the sound source, they saw that the camera-mechanical bird was pecking Bienfu with its iron beak, and the poor normin was escaping from the evil beak with all his strength.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdesAt1MqP
"Good morning, everyone! Have you forgotten any important person?" Ophelia walked out leisurely, and suddenly all the wind was blowing towards her, making her look like she was very powerful. In fact, she is indeed a very powerful person in the technology of seraphim and human beings, but her words and deeds always make people unable to admire her.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzAsL8XDPA
"Is there any?" Velvet continued walking while pretending not to know.
"Cruel!"
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLAhgA5T1E
"Cool! I want to try that kind of appearance too! Just use it next time I say a pun" Lailah clapped her hands and said her feelings naturally.
"Oh, please ask me when you want it, Lailah." Zaveid jokes.
"The surrounding air will be colder by then." Edna complained, and imagined a bad pun plus such an appearance effect. This is a nightmare that can instantly freeze the air.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWIQwtw5zt
"So, Ophelia, may I expect the things are done?" Ignoring Lailah's words, Rose smiled at Ophelia, and stretched out her palms as if asking for something.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVqDn3pz6o
"Of course it is done." Ophelia smirked and took out several high-tech-looking objects from the bag. One was something like a metal bracelet, and the other was an object connected to a large streamlined hook. It looks like the curvature of the ear, like a mechanical hook on the ear.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5mi4s93uE
"Velvet, Sorey, Alpha, here you are, equipped on your wrist and your ear, this is a gift from the witch, it's free!" Ophelia Waved to the three to come and get the equipment.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YJyXjuyTj
"The gift of the witch is suspicious." Velvet said while observing the object.
"Your mouth is as bad as ever, Velvet," Ophelia pretended that she was hurt, but, literally, the reaction was false.
"Ease, I asked her to prepare it." Rose urged Velvet not to think too much, and to prepare before complaining.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi35vRJq8uJ
Sorry tried to bend while studying the material of the earphones: "This is a watch and... earphones? It seems very sturdy!"
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hnc1eawUc
"It's rare that you know modern objects. Yes! This is prepared for communication, so the texture is not easily damaged in order to correspond to the battle." Rose was surprised that ancient people who lacked modern knowledge still knew the name of this thing. Now she may explain it easily.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeeQHZGnas1
"Oh, don't, you will hurt my waist like this." Ophelia made a strange noise, pretending to complain to Sorey while pretending to be earphones, and Velvet just silently rolled her eyes.
"It's amazing, can you speak for yourself?" Sorey reacted to Ophelia's realistic acting like a child and he is still looking at his earphone.
"Yeah, I can talk. Now let go, you are making me shy." Ophelia continued to act enthusiastically, and Sorey really had a troubled expression that he thinks the earphone really speaks, and it feels shy.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaOmOjhwbD
"Sorey...that's---" Mikleo just wanted to tell Sorey the truth but was stopped by Edna. At this time, Edna's expression was also a little mischievous, and Velvet and Eleanor continued to look helplessly but did not intend to stop.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymKNBcbl1R
"Now, black woman, are you holding me for so long and don't plan to equip?" Does anyone know who is pretending to speak as earphones with a cute and rude voice? That person definitely wants to tease Velvet like Magilou did.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5LmUGRDnK
"..." Velvet reluctantly did not intend to respond.
"It's rude, I'm talking to you." The ‘little earphones girl’ continued talking.
"...So where should I put you?" Velvet decided to give up the confrontation after recognizing that it was Edna's voice, and decided to let her play until she was satisfied.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGFxe0dPQx
"...What, you don't even know this? Put it on your ear, Let’s punish you for dancing the normin dance in the square."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3l6ANqiNI
"Why should I be punished by you?" Velvet said helplessly after wearing the earphone.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLVrmZ21T2
"Because it's fun."
"That's it."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHd2Unq8CTi
"What a boring master."
"........."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNbd69zcM5
After various funny situations, both of them are equipped with earphones and watches.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0n9kyE3HD
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzu9IV7n3E
Alisha smiled bitterly and forced the topic back: "...cough cough...Next, you will go deep into the enemy line. It may be far more dangerous than the previous battle. We hope to provide long-distance support as much as possible."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIy8DYxXvO
"It has the most limited communication and map display functions. The watch is a communication terminal, with a video mode and a pure communication mode. We have the technology to directly connect to your communication terminal and monitor the situation around you." Rose went on to explain and demonstrate the function of this thing.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQsg6xyzcW
Velvet: "Thank you, I probably understand."
Sorey: "I also understand. In case of distraction or danger, I can call for help through the watch."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqZYZYUz7e
Rose: "Yes, the specific usage is up to you. After all, everything can happen on site."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWZg5Kcfez
Just as the three people who were assigned to the earphones in Rose’s demonstration pressed the power switch, they heard the beep of "Power ON, searching for the targeting device, BI——-EN, connected". What's bad is that the dubbing of the system sound is BIENFU, impolitely said: it is very noisy. Velvet frowned slightly displeased and rolled her eyes.
Sorey responded to the voice and said: "Huh? The sound of the earphone has changed."
"...Because it was not the earphone itself that was talking to you just now." Mikleo said helplessly.
". So that’s it..." Sorey smiled wryly.
The alpha who is accustomed to the high-tech environment doesn't say much.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuAJD1PFvQ
Bienfu: “Because Mag--Ophelia is going to follow to open the portal this time, Eternal and I also followed.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEBtzdnpYi
Lovely footsteps came from behind Ophelia, and the little black Normin showed his head and walked towards Velvet.
Eternal: “Velvet-han, please let me follow you this time.”
The words are full of sincerity, which makes it hard to refuse.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHNjTWalXY
Several dying experiences and blames from friends made Velvet realize that she seemed a little self-centered .She does not rule out that she wants to punish herself so that she has the habit of carrying everything on her own, but now it seems to be punishing her friends. She didn't pay attention to the people around her seriously, but blindly fell into her own guilt. She never felt that her death was related to others, so she always despised her own value.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaftBWCa1m
But this battle is a matter of life and death. She has no spare time to sink into a sense of guilt and punish herself. She has to win anyway, so she starts to rely on others, she must survive. Her body now had become a weakness that couldn't stand the battles for her not cherishing herself too much. This was really a great price, but it still couldn't stop her from fighting.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOJDfeRPFi
Recognizing her own weakness and relying on the strong is the only thing she can do now, so if someone asks for help, of course she has to accept it, and there is no room left not to accept it. There is nothing wrong with accepting Eternal's help. The current situation is that the more people help, the better. She accepted his kindness.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszcETC9Xkl
Velvet: “Okay, please tell me what you can do in a while”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymE2SfGR4Z
"Ok!"
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2p15zehql
Sorey smiled happily when he saw the situation, and then looked thoughtfully at the town behind Rose, recalling that the previous few attacks had greatly reduced the strength of the town. Whether it was manpower or material resources, he was very worried about whether the town was still strong enough to resist the enemy.
"Don't worry about the town, we are here to guard." Roukurou said with a smile, making everyone feel at ease. It seems that this guy knows more about comforting people than he did a thousand years ago.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJSyddeMrN
Alisha reports on the distribution of work, so that everyone does not worry about them: "Maotelus sama will also join in support, and Rose is the command tower that takes care of the monitoring of the situation on both sides."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8MbD6y7Vn
Lailah was still a little worried about Rose's workload. After all, it is not easy to be a backup. "Rose, don't be too reluctant."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvUhCtagvr
"Don't worry, I'm not trying to force myself." Rose smiled firmly, without showing a trace of fatigue or weakness.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtHV9bUyKV
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEsjeb90fJ
Sorey: "The commando team here is composed of 8 people including me, Velvet, Alpha, Lailah, Mikleo, Edna, Zavied, and Eleanor... plus Ophelia, Bienfu and Eternal."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9DLVfMoie
It seems that there are too many people, but everyone knows that it is necessary to deal with Tartarus. After all, that guy is not just ordinary strong, no one has forgotten the last time they fought at the bottom of the valley. There are also 8 people here, but a simple head-to-head can't hurt Tartarus. That victory can be said to be lucky.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxTswmAnD7
"Let's divide into 2 teams, so that we can take care of them when we are separated." Given that there are too many people, Velvet proposes to split into 2 teams.
"Agree, too many people in a team is not a good thing." Mikleo agreed that a team with more than 5 people would be very messy.
"How about Sorey and Velvet as the captains of the two teams respectively?" Lailah suggested that in terms of cooperation experience, they haven’t teamed up with Velvet for long enough time, and Sorey and Velvet have the qualities of captains respectively, so being on the same team at the same time is really wasting of their ability.
"It's true that I can hardly imagine Velvet being obedient," Zaveid teased Velvet.
"...You are right, I can hardly imagine you are obedient too, Zaveid." Velvet countered blankly.
"Haha, both of you have a good relationship," Lailah said.
"What led you to that conclusion?" Velvet and Zaveid said in unison.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgCtBYOgHt
"I will follow Velvet." Edna stepped forward and asked for a team with Velvet, she didn't explain much. Except that she can't let go of her messing around alone, this is also a return to yesterday's Velvet.
Her visit late at night was an accident, but what made Edna even more surprised was that she cried out in front of this person. This was the first time in hundreds of years. Perhaps it was because this person was clumsy and gentle like Eizen. She came to the door of her room so tired, but still accepted her request and listened to her all night. Edna rarely likes a human being, and she will be troubled if she dies today... She wants to stay by her side at this important time.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xwV3TKdMX
"If you follow Velvet, I will also go along." Zaveid naturally did not want Velvet to be dangerous as a companion, but before that, he valued the brotherhood with Eizen and consciously wanted to take care of Edna.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UXNIh9ZxO
"Of course, I will be by your side, Velvet. Please avoid fighting as much as possible." Eleamor said firmly and meaningfully.
"...I know, and I am counting on you guys.”
"It seems that the people over there are full, so it's Mikleo, Lailah and Alpha with me in another team." Sorey saw that the people over there so quickly, a little helpless and a little relieved, it is a good thing that Velvet can get along well with them.
Mikleo and Alpha nod to each other to confirm.
Lailah: "Understood, then let's go.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkitNt2cLn
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaAX5HNTLI
"Be careful on the road!" Alisha prayed sincerely.
Velvet searched for a while but she didn’t see Maotelus’s presence, and she felt a bit off. Somewhere in her heart is waiting for the little boy here. When she sighed and was about to walk towards the seven-person car and the team is about to leave, the Empyrean arrived.
“All set up now.”
Hearing the familiar voice, Velvet turns and sees the person.
The little boy is standing there with a cheerful smile: “Sorry to be late.”
“It is never late for the Empyrean’s arrival.” Sorey said.
“Hahaha…..Everyone, good luck, I can’t promise my blessing but I pray for your safe return. You will have back here.” Laphicet said.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsivQfseay5
"....Velvet, please take care of yourself." The Empyrean added softly, announcing that this time he was also one of the supporters. Velvet was determined to let him use all the strength to protect the town. This would ultimately mean that Velvet's and Sorey’s life blessings disappeared, and it also meant that the possibility of surviving was reduced. So he chose to protect the town while also helping the team.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOAUmnlmq9
"You too, take care of yourself." Velvet knew what Maotelus meant, and pretended to respond calmly, and she felt much calmer after Phi’s presence in fact.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaVD0MdXpe
Strictly speaking, this is not a farewell, because they are only leaving here temporarily. They are about to set off, and the team have walked out of this town that is very related to them.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBDrdV0pQ1
Before they walked out of the city gate and waved back, facing the people who were seeing them off behind, the group started to go to the enemy's base camp, to launch the counterattack.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosgTgbuF7d
"Then act according to the plan."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUyg13HWmc
"Is everything settled?" Beta waited unconcernedly for them to come over to her side.
Sorey: "Yeah, let's go."
"Then please fasten your seat belt, or you will regret it." Beta said without explanation, the sentence confusing.
"Beta, be merciful, they will have to fight for a while." Rose said with a wry smile, and the words were even more confusing.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfZbhStih2
However, someone had already buckled the seat belt, and that person was actually Zaveid, who was usually unruly. It seemed that serious things would happen if the seat belt was not buckled properly. After everyone buckled their seat belts, Beta stepped on the accelerator ------

Meadow of Triumph-on the way to enemy’s place-full engine!
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu3I7RcNNd
The speed of the speed is like a rocket. Before everyone could react, their heads suddenly leaned against the back cushion due to inertia.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2Z9Kd1iO1
Through the woods, through the caves, across the mines, and over the rivers, like the teeth of a giant beast and the sky rushing, if the urge to crush the sky, the ancient and dangerous Great Valley is like jumping out of the ground at high speed like a monster that approached them at high speed. This is the feeling of oppression that the vehicle feels when driving to the place at high speed.
Sorey wanted to say something, but still couldn't make it. . . The speed was really too fast, and it was not of the same level as the cars he saw on the street. Before getting into the car, he was thinking that Beta really knows a lot of skills, but he was scared by the sudden speed and couldn't say anything.
Except for extreme speeding, she was driving on the edge of a rampage. Although she sometimes drives on a flat road, most of the time she ignores the existence of the road and goes straight to the mountains, mud, and woods-that is, ignoring all the normal routes and taking "shortcuts", sometimes even driving up on a rock like a sloping platform, and the vehicle flew to the opposite side. They have experienced a roller coaster-like journey in just a few minutes. The car almost hit a tree, almost reversed, and almost hit a rock. Even though they didn't hit a rock in the end, everyone would think her driving style is dangerous like a nightmare. This should be considered lucky, and perhaps thanks to Beta's own ability as well.
Beta grew in a slum with Zaveid and she learnt to steam with Zaveid, the wild seraph brought Beta everywhere and ended up escaping with his high speed, that trained Beta to have stronger physical strength and dynamic vision than ordinary people. Her dynamic vision is scary, because Zaveid's speed after using the seraph ability is very fast, and Beta has to adapt to the field of vision in this high-speed movement. This is also the reason why she stood last in the battle with hellion Velvet with her skills of attack and escape.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjkPbbAlVX
Between the flashes of lightning, everyone kept their heads blank, and reached the destination near the destination with extreme confusion. The sense of speed, which was so fast that one had to see the past slides of life for a moment, it did not disappear before the car stopped. Except for Zaveid and Edna, the others stared into the distance like having a soul-out experience.
Ophelia smirked and laughed until she couldn't stop laughing: “how. . . . Scary child. . . This is really exciting.”
Even Ophelia could only smile wryly. The kid perfectly copied Velvet's reckless traits, and she couldn't stop laughing.
Lailah was so excited that she said a pun again: “That spee--rit, never worry about that we-lost-city.”
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU17l7SGYzX
Mikleo wanted to say that there was something wrong, but he didn't seem to understand it, so he gave up making complaints.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmShQNLf0Iv
"Your driving skills are getting better and better, I am surprised the car didn't turn upside down this time." Edna commented in an indifferent tone. It seems that this is not the first experience.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoJ8T4VtXI
"I say, this is a big progress, we didn't even hit the tree directly." Zaveid smiled leisurely.
The two listed are outrageous accidents, which would lead to death or serious injury. Perhaps Beta's previous driving skills were worse, so they should be thankful that they did not die. Betta didn't say anything, and didn't know how she thought about it, whether it was a compliment or a joke, or whether she was just so concentrated that she couldn't be distracted from listening to other people's words. After all, this kind of high-speed driving requires considerable skill if it doesn't hit any obstacles, and Sorey believes that it can't be easily distracted. But this couldn't make him forget the feeling of vomiting now.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaH6DWqGqXN
"Beta, you know so much." Sorey finally recovered after the car came to a stop and praised with a wry smile.
"...Because it is a useful technique."
"... where did you learn it?" Velvet asked hard, not hard to hear that she was resisting the urge to swear, or the feeling of dizziness greatly suppressed the dissatisfaction she could express.
"Self-taught."
"..." After receiving this answer, there was a strange silence at the scene. Everyone understood why the car journey was so exciting (bad).
It’s no wonder that it’s hard for people to learn to drive in a normal way when living in a slum. Both Lailah and Mikleo know that driving requires a license. So they should be grateful for how lucky they were to get off the car unscathed. They can only silently agree to the 'progress' Zaveid said.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemLtIqxp8V
"Magikasam! It doesn't matter at all, please be happy to get out of the car safely." Ophelia urged everyone to get off the car. This is not the time to discuss this matter.
"If there is no problem, please get off the car, the destination is in the front, I have to go back as soon as possible." Everyone looked forward---there was nothing ahead. Sorey looked at Beta suspiciously.
"There is an enchantment, just ask Rose for details, you guys be careful." Beta puts the responsibility of explaining on Rose, in fact, she is not good at explaining this kind of thing.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZZcwDUfOP
"Rose, have we arrived here?" Sorey began to communicate with Rose using earphone.
"Yes, the coordinates of yours I saw are the same as the enemy camp I detected.
So they took a few more steps and explored together.Sure enough, they saw a silver marker that seemed to be out of place with the surrounding area. At a glance, they could tell what was the place with the peculiar function, and it seemed that it was the place they were looking for.
"I saw it."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAWWjGm7W2
"As you said, it is probably similar to the barrier at Melchior Volcano. As long as there are enough high-level seraphim to break through."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgG0kxREP1A
"Goodbye, be careful on your way back." Velvet turned his head and said goodbye to Beta.
"Ok."
"Beta, don't force yourself." Alpha didn't speak much all the way, and finally only left a brief message to Beta. He knew her next mission.
"I know."
"Then we go."
-----
Meadow of Triumph-Beta’s driving on the way back to Magiland
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQokbKxyC4s
Running the way back in full engine, stomping on the accelerator, Beta used her self-taught hurricane driving skills to drive back to town. She heard a series of explosions along the way. It seems that they have already started the mission, it sounds like a very violent bombing, but the actual effect is only the people on site clearly understand. Beta didn't want to think much, and drove back to Magiland intently.
After the explosion stopped, she took a distracted look at the rear mirror of the car. The white sky of the fish was dyed red, and a black building flown up was like the final Demon Castle in game. The huge building rose to a high altitude. The reflection made it impossible to look directly at it. It blocked the sun and turned into a black shadow in the backlight. No one wants to imagine what it is. The black mud flows out of it and is accumulating volume at a speed visible to the naked eye. Just after the black mud touches the ground, everything is mutating.
The huge malevolence stained the ground with deep purple-black mud, and the green grass in the vicinity turned lifeless yellow. The sludge seeped into the water, and the river that could have been jumped over soared under unknown forces and turned into an ugly sewage color. Beta had to make the car scratch the road, but huge octopus tentacles appeared in the water and tried to drag Beta into the water with brute force. Fortunately, the car's mobility was so superb that the tentacles could not catch up, but only caused a small fault on the ground. The ground continued to crumble, and the huge rocks that she saw along the way turned into stone giants as they walked with the car, their huge steps could quickly catch up with the Beta. The black mud eroded the land, and the trees growing on it became tree monsters and shrubs were also turned into hellions, leaving only the bare ground like burned out. The seven-seater drove to Magiland at full speed. Beta slightly moved her hand away from the steering wheel and turned on the communication function of the earphone.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkTUDNvrip
"Rose, a large group of monsters are coming to town."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgX9iYY02Ly
"Understood, the mana cannon and great arch are already being prepared, please come back soon."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOebjEZbrf
"Almost, I have already seen the buildings, please open the city gate."
"Okay"
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABu9gT76ot
At the extraordinary speed of the seven-man car, it was impossible to stay away from the monsters, so Beta had to use her driver skills to smash away the followers. A sharp turn without deceleration raised dust, the hellions were spreading their teeth and claws, and the car drove away early and drove to the gate of the town.
The guards hurriedly closed the door after the car drove in. Many of them looked towards the sky, and Beta also looked towards the scene that had not been able to take a closer look. The extra black shadows in the sky slowly rise. As the daybreaks, the outline gradually becomes clear. It is a gyro-shaped building with the thinnest base, on the contrary, the highest floor has the largest area. She is sure that this must not be a building standing on the ground, but a structure buried under the ground. Seeing the small dust, water and gravel falling as it rises can more confirm the authenticity of this inference.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzMDaWudUi
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12EHa6PXHI
Black things gradually overflowed from it, and creatures flew out one by one, flying to Magiland, and there were thousands of hellions on the ground. None of the hellions is truly obedient to Tartarus, all are plants and trees that are hellionized by the pollution of black mud, but they all rush to Magiland. . . The reason may be simple, the seraphim and resonant humans smelled delicious, so enemies came towards them.
It seems that they have touched Tartarus’s nerves of the other party, he thought he can defeat them even by exposing everything in hand.In any case, Beta will choose to go to Maotelus’s place to perform the work he commissioned.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZyxfrD8iy
"I'm back." Beta rushed harshly to the control room.
"Great, the adjustment hasn't been completed yet, let's rest here first."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTCOakOycj
"... I'd better go and help."
"No, you will need a lot of concentration next and it will consume a lot of energy, so take this time to rest."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0dmTdE3Yx
"I see." Beta still sat down a little reluctantly, watching the situation on Sorey's side from the screen in the control room. .

---------------------------
Meanwhile, On top of Tartarus’s facility
Sorey POV
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWuzXj1bKt
In front of us is a ruin-like building. There are many unknown pillars standing around the huge cone in the middle, like a huge array, which means that each of the sky pillars can be connected into several rings to form The array of buckles, I can't realize the mystery for the time being. And I feel a strangely depressed feeling here.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6mto2vl80
"It's a strange shape."
"It seems to have a function, it is a large-scale arte arrangement. Usually very powerful things are like this large-scale fixed needle with a stone pillar. The legendary warlock said this. This is probably a legend, one of the 10 Stonehenges , look at this perfectly polished slippery surface..." Lailah observed it for a while and came to such an eloquent conclusion. As for the legendary warlock and Stonehenge she said later, remembering that Lailah said about the pangolin seraph when she was at Spiritcrest, I guess it's better not to discuss it too seriously, probably because I can't keep up with the thinking. .
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0wFAHdCmL
The communication device given to us suddenly started, and Rose's voice came from inside.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQIagWOcZm
"Testing. Testing! Can you hear me?"
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOXEZtq9LI
"I heard you." Velvet replied.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsIhELXGuy
"Very well, according to your coordinate position I received, you are directly above the destination, right?"
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAa2UfKG5X
"Yes." Alpha then explained the situation to Rose.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRMoQF8VSH
After Rose understood the situation, together with Lailah, she supplemented and explained the relevant technology, so that everyone could come up with a plan. If the seraphic arte technique is divided according to the elements, it can be classified into 5 categories, and the level and use can be subdivided infinitely, but according to the method of use, it can be divided into two simple categories, that is, instant chanting and preset artes. Usually the pre-set usage will be the best technology, and the on-site setting is like the latter. The technique of instant chanting involves fewer steps and layers of glyphs, the effect is also instant release and there is a time limit. The effect of on-site settings is to make powerful effects take effect for a long time, such as barriers artes.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSpq6Mn10p
"Assuming there is an engraving of the magic circle underground, it is safest to destroy the entire ground at once, right?" Velvet said with her right hand on her hips and her left hand waved away, casually suggesting a terrifying plan.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamJ0oFtXca
"As expected to be our Miss Calamity, the method that you came up with is simple, rude and efficient." After Ophelia put her hands on her head, she smiled as if it had nothing to do with her and praised Velvet teasingly.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegvyOI72ze
"Thank you for your compliment." Velvet pretended to be unaware of her compliment, but she deliberately prolonged every word.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvMts4ggcu
"Is it really that simple? Tartarus should be a well-prepared person." Eleanor seriously considered the feasibility of the plan. In her opinion, although our opponents often deliberately release water to us, they actually have something to deal with. Our ability and preparation. After all, Velvet was also desperate by Tartarus's evil character and methods. And what supports him is his preparation that cannot be accurately calculated.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Z7ExNncPT
"First burn this piece of grass and see what the ground really looks like, Lailah." Edna urged Lailah a little impatiently.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdC4cOIVEl
Lailah nodded and set fire to the vegetation in this area. At first, the first firing sprouts circularly spread and burned to the surrounding area, but they were fixed into regular lines for an instant. The round stone ground is exposed, with ring-shaped engravings connected to each other on it. The flames just now did not spread, but stopped within this range. The lines of the flames were compressed on the front line and then reduced to mana, each being guided and dispersed to the pillars, and finally absorbed.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIlsJbuMLr
"The vegetation above is a camouflage, and here is a power-absorbing technique." Mikleo stared at everything happening, and after a while he analyzed what he saw.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMppaIRMmot
"The power of the energy form doesn't work here. Is the strange feeling from entering this space because of this?" I added my opinions on his conclusion.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tq9z2woVK
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQybWOREay
"Then even with the assistance of Maotelus, it can't destroy the outer layer of the structure." Zavida waved his hand to express his disappointment.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEx6nDMIqXi
"No... Maybe it's simple. What you have to do is easier than you think." Rose said mysteriously.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Sib2MpSgI
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0SSZWpV1Q
She went on to explain that no matter how powerful the seraphic arte using the preset process is, it is the seraphic array that supports its function. When the formation pattern is changed, the technique cannot be launched normally. They need to destroy the formation. The irony is that it coincides with the method proposed by Velvet, which is to destroy the ground. Destruction is always easier than establishing and maintaining.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjL98ZDnaz
However, the fact that the mana will be guided is nerve-wracking. Even the Earth Seraphic arte is made by injecting mana into the ground. If it is cut off from the step of injecting mana, it will not be able to achieve the result of destroying the ground. After many attempts, it was confirmed that the ordinary "monstrous strength" and the power of the armatus could not destroy the ground. It seemed that the material was too hard or their power was weakened due to the influence of the ‘field’s enchantment’. Although they still have the final card of "full-armatization", it is a technique that consumes physical strength and can cause a big commotion. It is not in accordance with the cost and benefit to use it from the beginning.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno0UmLdoOQ
When everyone was worried about how to destroy the ground, Alpha said he had another way. He took out a bottle of liquid from his pocket and let everyone spread the distance. Under everyone's gaze, he open the lid of the mysterious liquid, and a irritating sour smell came out of the opened bottle. Alpha quickly splashed the liquid in the bottle on the ground and jumped a distance.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgy3f6d3l49
The ground made a sound of "za~za~" and a very thick white smoke came out. Just looking at it, I felt a very hot temperature. The mystery of the smoke seemed to imply that something dangerous was happening. After the white smoke dissipated, everyone could see the true face of the ground.
The place where the liquid had been spilled was transformed from the surface with sleek lines into small pits, as if it had been corroded.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihMhwtKuCP
"Successful." The ground that had not been destroyed even by a powerful attack was destroyed in an instant.
"This is a strong acid I brought just in case, I didn't expect it to really come in handy." Alpha explained to himself.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjzzi0iEbr
"Sprinkled by that liquid makes it look like that..." I feel terrible just seeing the actual effect. Mikleo marveled at the powerful destructive power of this liquid, which is as transparent as water.
"Yes, if our skin is spilled, it will be the same, so everyone be careful not to be spilled." Alpha calmly added the terrible information. The light-spoken explanation only makes people imagine the horror of exposing bones and muscles after the body is corroded by the liquid.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxtBdAtXma
"Wow, isn't it dangerous?!" Lailah exaggeratedly showed a fearful reaction.
"Such things are carried with you..." Mikleo commented.
"You really have grown into a dangerous man." Zaveid smirked.
"Just in case, I hope it's so dangerous for him ." Alpha said calmly.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BUz33NbNF
"Alpha you know so much, even I don't know these things." Lailah said with a smile, and once again felt the fact that living long does not mean omniscient and omnipotent.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq3HRfbtfS
"After I separated from you and experienced a period of wandering, because there is no assistance from the power of the seraphim, I went to explore something within the reach of human power - science is what I have explored, and it is different from the natural power than seraphic technique, I am thinking that might be able to deal with Tartarus."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHW03aV7Ak
"You didn't give up completely in the end." Lailah sighed at the same time as she learnt a lesson of being a seraph. She had confidence in her abilities, so she didn't fully understand human knowledge. I believe that many of the seraphim are the same, and I, who grew up by the seraphim, would not have access to human scientific knowledge if it hadn't been because I was living in a doctor's house when I woke up in this era.
Alpha: "It is just in case, I didn't bring too much, I still have a bottle."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsubXDAg7Qu
Mikleo: "There are 2 bottles of such a dangerous thing?"
Alpha: "I don't know how effective it can be, but there is one bottle left for you to use, Velvet. I feel that you have a better chance to use it than I do."
Velvet was silent for a moment in a complicated mood, as if thinking about the situation afterwards. Probably knowing the fragility of her current body, this surprising attack method is a breakthrough, and then she accepted his kindness.
Velvet: " Good, I will accept it with gratitude. I will use it carefully."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6neueUrAf
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kHXUc4FyC
"Then, since the glyph map on the ground is destroyed, we should also test whether our theory is correct."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GHKmSZADO
Lailah nodded and shot 3 small fireballs towards the ground.The fireballs flew into the engraved array and were restored to magical power. As if the overflowing lava wandered along the trajectory, but it turned into flames at the crack of the line and burst out. Blast towards the stone sky pillars.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nopjY0zpx
That was originally a technique to reduce power and channel magical power, but now it seems that the effect has been halved.
mikleo: "It seems to work now."
rose: "Yes, it is detected that the power of the enchantment has decreased, and the communication connection has become smoother."
Sorey: "Ophelia, please."
Ophelia: "I was preparing as early as when you tried there."
Velvet: "No wonder the ears are so quiet."
"How heart-breaking." Ophelia complained while opening the portal. Lailah and Eleanor and others who knew this technique were helping to maintain this huge portal.
Sorey: "Rose, please contact Maao."
Rose: "He was already preparing."
Ophelia "Then the portal is already open, I will leave it all to you guys~bye~"
Although Velvet doesn't expected her to help, seems it is still irritated to hear her say this.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8THmms3aE
Velvet "Okay, go slowly and walk yourself out."
Ophelia: "If you walked me out, the sky would fall down."
velvet: "If it fall down, you would be crushed to death."
Ophelia: "My,my, I have a long life."
Velvet: "It's like a cockroach that you can't die."
Ophelia: "I really hope it is a better description!"
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4MXyl71y0
Making a racket, Ophelia entered her portal, buried in the purple light, and went to Maotelus's place.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISFxaNfQIa
Rose: "Okay! Everyone, please disperse from the front of the portal, now the mana cannon mana compression program is activated."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodGdt0bddS
"The target is confirmed, the trajectory is smooth, and the mana compression rate is detected to be 10%...30%...50%...100%...150%...200%...300%. Reach the limit of transmission of portal, the cannon is ready. The communication function is temporarily closed" Rose reports while observing the data.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjRfJOT4LP
The ancient text appears in the atmosphere under the action of mana, and surrounds the completed portal. Three blue auras released from the front of the portal. Lailah and Eleanor helped stabilize the energy here. There was a magical aura every 30 centimeters apart, which seemed to fix a track. The purple portal began to condense white and silver energy. When the energy was condensed, all the air appeared to be condensed in the portal, and scattered leaves and dust were spirally rolled into the portal and burned in an instant. It's like sucking all things into the air pressure inside the portal. If you stand in front of the portal, you may be drawn into the door immediately! The surrounding air is full of sacred breath, as if malevolence didn't exist at the beginning.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrA46QftI14
"Good luck to you guys." Maotelus said with a smile, sending the most powerful attack with his blessing. The mana cannon that had condensed the mana of Maotelus shot out at the portal connected to our space in front of him.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7sbhs7JGG
The mana of silver filled the air with the blessing of blue light. The magic brought the sacred power through the portal through the ground. As the light cannon from the portal reached the ground here, the ground was bombarded in front of my eyes, and the debris was blown away. Engulfed in the light. The brilliance of blue silver shone on the ground, and the image became meaningless. At this moment, there was only the sound of a rumbling collapse and the feeling of suddenly leaving the ground. I guess the mana exceeded the amount that the damaged arte circle could withstand, and turned into overflowing destructive power, causing the entire ground to collapse.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67CtzqHiJw
"--------"
The next moment I was greeted by the collapsed ground and felt my body heavier several times.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5Tfv3SLGd
"What happened?"
Obviously I felt the multiplication of malevolence and the thinning of the air, and the ground became very uneven. I could not see clearly under the smoke and dust, but I guess that Maotelus’s attack did damage the outer shell of the facility, so the malevolence flowed out from the inside of the facility. When I finally got up, I saw the sky surrounded by sparse clouds except that it was full of rubble on the ground, which was not the scenery I remembered. The portal that was supposed to be above us has disappeared, and the earphone used for communication is making noise.It seems that something is disrupting the signal.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VU15nlMhR
"S...Vel...Listen...?" The communication replied intermittently, and the speaker was a little anxious.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95oRa3VjKn
"Sorey, Velvet, can you hear me?"
"I heard it, did something happen?" I responded, but I couldn't hear Velvet's response.
"Your Z coordinate is rising rapidly, and a strong malevolence response is detected."
"Z what? Malevolence?!"
"Our foothold is rising at a high speed." Zaveid declared solemnly.
"I feel a strong malevolence." Lailah said anxiously.
"----!"
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaN87saUryS
The smoke screen raised from the collapsed ground blinded the horizon, and I felt an ominous premonition in my heart. Hellions suddenly rushed out of the smoke screen. When I realized what it meant, a large number of hellions and drakes poured out in front of us. Suddenly pounced on me from the smoke. Driven by my instinct, I drew my sword and slashed at the opponent. It quickly fell down.It seemed that it was a newborn hellion that had just come into contact with the overflown malevolence and it was easier to be defeated.
"We can’t be stopped here! Fight together!" I cried and attack with the team.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfoahgdObM
Before I could analyze, the other end came up again, wave after wave of the hellions pressed against us under the cover of the smoke, and the surrounding smoke became a barrier to hide the silhouette of the hellions. I had to take a step back and noticed the underground. The feeling of wetness is strangely uncomfortable. I waved my sword and slashed the enemy in a straight line. I was looking at the ground because of the air that was being split by my sword - black mud was all over the ground. I don't know the source of the overflowing malevolence, I only know that the seraphim around me are holding back the evil influence of malevolence.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGoG28cHiH
Then I heard the faint groans of Lailah and Mikleo's perseverance and pain, I realized that this thing is too bad.
"Lailah, Mikleo, it is okay, don't force yourself." Although I was still their vessel, I also felt the strong discomfort caused by the malevolence, and the thought that they were directly in contact with the contaminated black mud made me worried.
Lailah: "It's okay, please continue."
Mikleo: "I can still fight."
They hurriedly reorganized their battles and dealt with the raids. Most of them were hellions that were affected by a sudden and large amount of malevolence. Therefore, they were not strong and did not have teamwork. They could be cleaned up in one blow, but in this amount, they are still difficult to deal with. In the end, we reluctantly purged some weak hellions, but only around us. There were hellions pouring out in the distance beyond our reach, and I don't know how many dragons flew out, but at least it is estimated that there are still many, many hostages that can be turned into dragons, and the number of Seraphim that we have not been captured so far, the destination for all of them is probably Magiland.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGDrxQPszu
Sorey: "Sorry, Rose, there are many hellions flying in your direction."
Rose: "Okay, don't worry, we have a way to deal with it, you can concentrate on your goals. I also need to disconnect the communication first, sorry..."
Then the sound of the device did not appear again for a while, and Rose disconnected the communication.
"Edna and Zaveid, how are you guys?" After the fight was a little idle, I naturally asked about the situation of the other contracted seraphim, but they did not respond.
After a few seconds, Mikleo asked again: "Edna?"
"...It seems they have gone away." Lailah tried to stay calm. I couldn't see her expression clearly, but even through the smoke, I could still feel her worry. I thought everyone was worrying like she did.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU98t5o0Kgz
There are still too many people’s voices that have not appeared. This makes me have a bad guess. Although Velvet is usually quiet, she has not been so quiet. I almost ignored the sound that has never appeared since Rose's last message.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xy1CsJVG5
"Velvet, are you there?" I asked tentatively, but did not respond like the previous question.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmCQo6p1Uo
"Eleanor, how are you doing?"...
"...Alpha are you there?"
"Well, it seems that the explosion just now separated us." Alpha sorted out the situation." Alpha's voice made me feel relieved.
"It seems to be right, then let's end the fight quickly. Luzrov Rulay "
"Sure, Fethmus Mioma."

Meanwhile, in magiland
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk2IXujRC9
Looking up and seeing the sky and the scene in front of him, none of the soldiers were not shaking. The soldiers prayed from the bottom of their heart for the blessing of the Holy Empyrean. Hoping this is just a nightmare, a nightmare that only God can end.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyKCCCR7pC
The white cloud of twilight is no longer there, instead, replaced by layers of black clouds. The flying dragon with thunder light entangled between the black wings and the dark clouds, looming in the clouds that engulfed it. No one wants to know what the "dark cloud" is flying in the distance, whether it is hellions flying in groups or a dragon, say they prefer it as a group of giant eagles. It is certain that the situation is desperate. Days of fighting have left people physically and mentally exhausted, but they have no option to surrender. The splendor of the town was overwhelmed by the malevolent power. The artificial Grand Canyon left by the previous battle temporarily cut off the path of the Hellions Army, and only the hellions in the air could not stop. Even so, the enemy occupying a corner of the sky is still enough to make people feel fear. Now that they are lonely and weak, they seem to be indestructible opponents. The enemies don’t understand the pain and give up. They are just monsters that come back over and over again. The aura and the amount of malevolence make everyone stand up. A sense of oppression. This scene is as ominous as a harbinger of doomsday.
It is difficult for people to continue fighting, but they can only fight. The defensive barrier of the city is still there, and this may be the only thing that can give people peace of mind.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfvlLuJLqN
"Prepare the crossbow to take aim!" A command was issued and the nerve-tight soldier silently executed the command. On the half-destroyed city wall, the soldier pulled the string into a tight state. In order to protect the little remaining combat power, many defensive houses were added to the walls. Although they were vulnerable to dragons, they were still sufficient to block attacks from far away.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSszS9yJ0w
In the next second, the golden arrow rain covered the sky, tearing hundreds of cracks open in the dark sky. The arrows that fell on the ground blasted the ground to rotten and dusty. The arrow still repulsed the flying enemy far away, suspending the crisis.
"Before they came here, knocked them down as many as possible!"
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj2Iiyre7D
"Ay! Ay!"
Continue to draw the bow, aim, and release the arrow, but the enemy still shows no sign of decreasing. As long as the source of the black mud is still there, theoretically the enemy can regenerate infinitely. And those monsters became wiser through the death of their companions in front of them. They lifted the gravel on the ground as a shield to move forward! Seeing this, the taxis on top of the wall became anxious, their hit rate was declining, and the efficiency of eliminating the hellions was also decreasing, and it may not be unthinkable to usher in despair.

"Calm down, everyone! This is for the people behind us! Each group of archers and second archers change positions and rest. Take a good aim and attack again, don't worry, don't be afraid! The Empyrean is with us!"
Relying on Alisha's words, the morale of the soldiers barely improved. The people who failed to calm and those who were calm changed positions, and everyone continued to increase their vigilance and respond to the enemy.

"I'll also make a contribution before the adjustment is completed. Please, monitor the situation if you think it goes wrong, Rose."

Rose nodded and agreed with Mao's decision.

Maotelus, who had just fired a cannon for Sorey and the others to destroy the ground, switched from the control room's consciousness to his dragon-body. The Holy Empyrean of Silver Flame walked out of Rokurou's arsenal to a place where he could see the enemy outside.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ctlYe5sCS
The silver dragon held up his head and saw the desperate sky and dozens of soldiers who had forcibly survived fear and were fighting the enemy. That's right, the number of people couldn't even be counted as an army in the first place, after being consumed by two battles, and only such a pitiful number remained. Some of them are underground union refugees pacing far from Ladylake. Maybe they don't need to die desperately for a place, just find another place, but for the sake of kindness, they still stayed and died with the people in this place.
Some of the residents who originally lived here did not fight much but fought because of sudden changes. They must protect the family behind them. I have promised to go back, but many people have been unable to fulfill their promises in the end.
Some of the seraphim were protected here, and they were oppressed to the end and had to fight. Even those who originally did not want to fight finally stood up to face the enemy.
Maybe they have this technology now, but it's just a group of temporarily unified mobs, which makes the army's consensus that is beginning to disperse even worse.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdHNvdlc74
Human beings are all powerful and weak existences, and he wants to protect and save such existences. This is one of the reasons why he became the fifth Lord. Velvet told him to fight even if the blessing power disappeared. Alisha said that the Holy Empyrean was with them. Maotelus decided to respond to them and stood up to fight as the Empyrean.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDNk0lG6ML
"As long as I am here, no one will be allowed to die." The Empyrean declared that he would not allow the tragedy to happen again, and at the same time restored the Health and strength of everyone on the scene.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyd4OqCn0C
The Empyrean connected his mana to the mana cannon and aimed at the darkness of the sky. The white light converged into a line, entwined with lightning, and cut through the sky. In the next instant, there were continuous explosions on both sides of the orbit where the light traveled.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjAG3VBjlq
Maotelus aimed the cannon at the ground again, destroying the edge of the canyon and widening the crack. A large number of hellions lost their footholds, pulling each other to climb up with each other, but in the end they fell like a large piece of cloth into the rift. In this case, it is temporarily difficult for the enemy to come from the front.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Gf5wsg7nE
A large number of enemies have been resolved, but it is not enough, because the enemy on the opposite side is infinitely reinforced, like a flood. Maotelus also knows this well, and he intends to use all the power of the gods he can use to resist this destruction. 'The Great Flood'.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebCv2ZLR9R
"Indignation."
Once the Mystic arte used when fighting with Velvet side by side, now it has been more than a thousand years since the Empyrean has been used again in his will. He is no longer the boy who was protected back then. He has grown into an Empyrean who can protect more than a hundred people(or more) behind him. His power is not just limited to control only a pair of magical circles, to perform high-speed chanting, he is building numerous glyph arrays in a large area at the same time. A large number of enemies were eliminated and then supplemented by monsters that were later generated, setting foot again A large piece of wasteland ahead.
Hundreds of black and white magic arrays appeared in the sky and underground, the hellions that were coming on the ground were fixed, and those who were in the sky fell down. Dozens of powerful mana gathered by the floating glyph in the sky. They fired all at once, bombarding the ground with explosive mana, destroying hundreds of hellions and drakes. The black and white magic bombarded the entire area that was invaded, until the malevolent creatures returned to nothingness.
"Indignation."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEsjWtiWtQ
The desperate and exhausted soldiers saw the holy Empyrean fighting for them in front of them, and they all recovered their morale along with their strength, determined to throw away their fear and make a last stand.

Meanwhile, Inside Tartarus’s base/ Velvet pov
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHaFW5c5Pue
After Phi fired the mana cannon, the silver light shined on everything, other than that I did not recall what happened. It’s just that my head hurts very much, and I was choked with coughing several times after just a light breath. Am I in a place with a lot of dust? How long has it not been clean to accumulate so much dust? If I live here, I will clean it up soon. In addition to this, I can always feel the suffocation of my heart being suppressed. Although it is different from when I was a daemon , I know this feeling is malevolence. It can be assumed that there is a malevolent environment all around.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunJfiFouf7
There is darkness all around, and walking around is really audacious, but I can only take a gamble. Vision was forcibly plundered by the environment, and the sense of taste was lost long ago after becoming a daemon, so the sense of hearing was unexpectedly reliable. I experienced this in Ladylake Lost Tower. Although it was an embarrassing battle, the sense of hearing did come in handy. The physical abilities that were strengthened during the therion-period did not completely disappear as a result of the transformation back to humans, so even if I changed back to humans, I was still stronger than ordinary people. I listened carefully to all the sounds, even the slightest environmental noise. Following the slight wind and the faint light that gradually became visible, I carefully walked into the dark.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAV5KsFZFi
I stepped on something a little strange, which made a funny sound effect. There was a faint scream from the lower part. I tried to ask if anyone was there.
"Is it Velvet-han?" The other party responded in a cute and steady voice.
The voice and title immediately made me guess that it was Eternal.
"Yes, sorry, Eternal. Where are you? I can't see anything."
"I am probably at your feet, I'll light it up."
Then, he used his handy technique to create a small light ball for lighting to illuminate a small amount of the nearest environment, and his position is indeed at my feet. It seems that the "strange thing" I stepped on is this pitiful Normin. I immediately retracted my foot and apologized. His body was under the broken stones. I carefully removed the stones and pulled him out. The rescued "Eternal" embraced my hand enthusiastically, and I let him sit on my shoulders to rest. He said he would help me illuminate the front, but there is gravel everywhere, so there is not much difference between illuminated and unilluminated.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh53FZlDVy9
"Let's talk about your abilities, I don't know anything about you." I raised a question to start a conversation with Eternal, at least not to let the atmosphere seem so odd after I accidently stepped on him.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH89gEXPY8
"I am also unfamiliar with your business, so let's talk about it along the way." Eternal answered.
"That's right, but I don't have anything special to say. I have always been weak after waking up in this era as a human. Now the body may tear the wounds of the body as soon as the body has gone through the battle, and my companions told me not to participate in the battle desperately. " I answered while remembering Eleanor’s reminders.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVpN3ic137
"I see... but do you still decide to fight?" Eternal asked with a doubt.
"...Yes, this is the battle I must participate in. I have destroyed many towns and destroyed many people's lives. Sorey saved me, even though he knew who I was and what I did, and my friends want me to live... ...I want to try to do the right thing again and atone for all my past….even if it is impossible.” I may not answer so honestly in the past, but I may have been dealing with people who treated me sincerely recently. I think it’s also a good way to be honest…. Not bad.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJR8XTehN3
After listening to Velvet’’s sincere monologue quietly, the black Normin remembered why he asked this person to end the pain of the child he loved. He believes that the person, who can become the family of the gentle Artorius, will also be a gentle person. Even if that person became the Lord of Calamity named by people in that era, he still believed that the person did not lose a part of her tenderness. Velvet who came to the tomb of Artorius's wife(aka her sister) did not look like a bad person. Looking back now, Eternal feels that he really did not believe in the wrong person, and he wanted to help her very much.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKervpzbTVL
"I see... I will also talk about my own things. I am not a particularly powerful seraph, but I can keep states or effects unchanged for a period of time, or extend vitality. I have only followed Artorius, I wandered around after his death, and there was no one I wanted to follow anymore. I wandered aimlessly and I even hated myself a little bit. One day, Maotelus asked me a task that I am very satisfied with: to guard the divided Aball, the place where the child once returned. Finally I realized that I wanted to protect everything that the child had cherished. There I met you again, you were that child’s family and is also my benefactor, and I want to protect you too. So as I said before, I will assist you. Please ask me when you have trouble, I will help you." Eternal also responded sincerely to me after I sincerely expressed my thoughts.
"Well, there may be a lot of things to ask you this time."
"Please ask me as much as possible."

We were walking towards the place where there was faint light and breeze.We reached the end of the road, and the light and wind came out from the cracks between the rocks.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WYXSHvTlb
"----" Suddenly there was a weird cracking sound from the ground, and I immediately judged that I would evade backwards. The stone pillar protruded from below, shattering the gravel in front of me, revealing more light.
Not far away, I was familiar with the person with cute blond hair. A girl in a one-piece dress appeared in the field of vision.
"... Edna, you are very helpful."
"It's just your luck doing." Just a little bit, the stone hit me directly, to say that this is indeed lucky.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafOZEP2j3I
"Not really. My wind did tell me that there is a beautiful woman in it." Does the Wind seraphim all see things only by wind? This can explain why I attacked Zaveid in the backlight back then and he could also see through my attack. Think about it when the wind blows in the bathroom…...Okay. It's really scary to think about it.
Say this is sexual harassment, but it turns out that the breeze that led me just now was Zaveid’s trick. I am grateful to him for this.
"Zaveid, I owe you too... Have you seen anyone else?"
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp71jYteda

"Except for a female seraph with a very stable lower body, no more I noticed. I heard that it is a body shape that is very suitable for childbirth."
"...Is it Eleanor?"
"I can’t pretend not to hear this. Where did you get to hear about it, Zaveid?"
"Rokurou said."
"It seems that I have to teach him a lot of lessons when I go back." Eleanor clenched her fists angrily, but in my opinion it was just funny.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Pip9rNrYe
"It seems you are safe." I pointed out.
“And why would you immediately think of me when Zaveid said ‘a female seraph with a very stable lower body’?” Eleanor angrily complained...I wouldn't say it because Rokuro had said it, and I just don’t think Zaveid was referring to Lailah.
"But you were the one who substituted yourself in."
"...Um...huh….Fine!"
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyiEgL7Cg4
When there is no light blocked, the surrounding objects can be clearly perceived. I carefully looked around.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnDZPq7ONt
The bright white metal wall is the main scenery here, and there is no window around it. It has the same feeling as the building I saw at Lost Tower, and it is a modern technological environment.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItGTzKmpLU
Above is the blinking lamp, and behind me and Eternal are the collapsed rocks that we just came out of, and there are no other people except Eleanor, Edna, Eternal, Zaveid and me, it seems that the force that destroyed the ground just now was too big. The power undermines our foothold, and as a result, we are separated from the other side. However, this was originally within our expectations. To say, it is difficult for 8 people to act together. First, it is easy to be found, and then chaos may cause, so we have planned to act in groups long ago, but the timing of separation has been decided now. The original plan is that one group would invade the base, and the other group would destroy related facilities outside. Now the plan has not changed. This is an accident, but it is a planned development again.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnESX9XDmzG
There is no branch in front of us, and the road to go is obviously only the front.
"Eleanor, you came from the front, right? What's on the front?"
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsTMy4fisx
Eleanor suddenly fell silent, her face looked bad, and she slowly said, "...There is a very disgusting scene."
I am a little puzzled: "...what?"
Edna: "Let's go and see anyway."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs1kyiJvpv
We walked slowly and at a general speed, while carefully observing the surroundings. There is no special refreshing scenery along the way. After all, this is not a place for sightseeing, and the scenery is unchanged until we reach the front room.
There is a smell in front of the room that cannot be concealed.It is a smell that I am very familiar with---the smell of blood and corpses.
We were greeted by a large number of "guards" as we entered from the experimental site. We were stabbed with several draggers without seeing the opponent clearly. In a hurry, Eleanor directly used the purifying flame to attach her spear and swept across the guards and burned all the malevolence. They immediately turned back to the original human form, but they started to explode before we got close. Even if this place is a laboratory, it doesn't matter anymore. It can be considered that the enemy thinks this facility is no longer important and he uses this strategy to bury us with the place.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzffDJ1xeP
In the continuous explosion, I was not able to confirm who those humanoids were. A heavy blow knocked us down the floor from the top to the next floor. Since Eleanor protected me with her body, I was not injured. I owe her my whole life, maybe the debt would not clear this lifetime, she is not caring about it, so I need to survive well. This time, I didn't give myself time to hesitate, and immediately rolled on the ground, dodging away the massive strike from above, then I observed the presence of the escape route with my eyes.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGbzJWt9cG
Behind the room is a tragic scene, which Eleanor described very accurately. Observing the surroundings, there are water and broken glass fragments. The surrounding is a broken glass tubular cylinder. There is a small amount of water and a lot of blood remaining. On the ground, the mutilated corpses were stacked on top of each other. The most disgusting thing was that I could see the same face as me in the corpse, as well as the appearance of Artorius and Sorey. Judging from the huge glass tube container the size of which was broken on all sides, it can be guessed that this place was originally a place for cultivating clones.
There must have been some tragedy, such as being attacked by the unknown monster that I encountered just now, this building was originally a monster workshop.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeovRFUTyx8
"There is strong malevolence here."
With the amount of malevolence here, it is enough to hellionize ordinary humans into hellions. It is not difficult to understand if this is the result of a process of a large group of artificial humans being turned into hellions and killing each other. Sure enough what Tartarus did was disgusting.
Why on earth would he turn his source of power, that is, "believers" into hellions, and let them kill themselves? This means that he is weakening his own strength. After thinking about it this way, I noticed an abnormal movement above.
"On top!" Zaveid warned.
How can we forget the final product in the room: the hellion survived last.
After a while, the monster that jumped from above had a huge human body, a bull head with big horns, and a blood stain on its mouth. It was definitely not a herbivore. It was waving with an axe. It was obviously a cruel monster but with eyes reveals immense fear and sadness.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe3NXcRk6o
"Wah!" The monster wailed but it sounded like a child crying.
"It feels like deja vu." Edna said.
"Minotauros..." Eleanor murmured to confirm the type of monster. The hellion representing the victim is going crazy here. It must be another victim of Tartarus' evil deeds, but this is caused by The hellion generated by human infant spirits...To a certain extent, all the artificial humans created by Tartarus can be regarded as newborns, so this is not a contradiction.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyRTnCRkQa
"What's wrong with the ‘Minotauros’ thing?" To care about the origin of hellions has always been something that the Shepherd is worrying about. I never know what the difference between hellions can be. For me, the monsters in front of me are just an object to be defeated.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY0j8YPf2a
"I have fought with the same type in the Trial of Earth with Sorey before. It represents the oppressed soul. it was people that had been bullied or tortured, it could also be children." Edna recalled things when traveling with Sorey.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIUFhFwNdl
"I'm wondering if it is possible... that it is the children born here..." Eleanor murmured.
"It isn't unthinkable." Edna replied flatly.
"In other words, this is the place where Alpha and Beta were born. Is it their "clone family" that formed this Minotauros?"
"...It is unfortunate for those who were born here. If this hellion was formed by them, then they should be defeated and purified. This is the only thing we can do." I said
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSZwMlFN8T
"Now I am surprised, I thought you would say that it's none of your business." Zaveid said with a smile. Probably my bad image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrLRKMaB6C
"... Really, because I'm surrounded by nosy people, so I've become more nosy. But it's just a way of doing it. It is just unnecessary to kill if I can do it another way," I replied ironically, thinking that maybe I am not doing this out of sincere kindness, I was a big villain.
"Sorey makes you gentler than before..." Eleanor sighed with a smile.
"...You praised me too much, just by travelling with him that he will always want to help people so I am used to it. The selfish me inside is still the selfish me" I want to eliminate Eleanor's wrong guess about me.
"Good enough, I expect no more." Edna said.
"Well, I suppose that’s the answer for now." Zaveid laughed.
"Really, can't you just accept compliments from others frankly?" Eleanor shaded her forehead and commented helplessly.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmDkt7bnOw
"...Then, Eleanor, as I said, I leave it to you." I said when ignoring Eleanor’s words.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJ6u5zNydU
I stepped back silently and observed the scene. After all, I was a non-combatant, at least I could not hold them back. If I don't fight, I can only focus on observation.
Standing in front of Eleanor and the others was a big hellion, a very strong orc. Every attack seemed to be powerful but at the same time monotonous and lacking in change. I didn't feel like it was good at fighting, and it didn't know how to make false moves to mislead the enemy. Tartarus will use his followers on ‘ Venomization ’. Perhaps it is to create the most powerful hellion, but the hellion generated in this way is only powerful because of the strong malevolence, and its combat technology is far less well-trained warriors---after all, all the ``children'' born here are isolated from danger, and they won't learn real fighting without need. Even if they rely on temporary cannibalism, they won't learn higher fighting skills. So with Eleanor, Edna and Zaveid, their strength is enough to defeat it.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjKWScLzxv
The battle soon ended. Compared to a bunch of dragons, this Minotauros was indeed already a small case and could be easily killed. It kept screaming sadly during the battle, as if begging for mercy, but the wave of its hand did not stop. I can feel that he just wants to survive, by going through the venomization and to be the last hellion in the battle with a bunch of hellions. I also survived in this way too in Titania, and perhaps I want to save him who overlaps with my own figure. Keeping the life of the Minotauros, Eleanor and I purifiedit , and it eventually turned into a very young human. The victim fell asleep with a calm expression as if his anxiety was taken away. When I look closely, I feel that he looks a bit like Sorey.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYExF9H6hGo
As Eleanor saw what the monster turned, she sighed: “It's a kid. . . . "
Zaveid observed the kid and said: "It's the same face as Sorey….."
That observation almost proved that what we were guessing is the truth.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3e1za6pKP
Edna commented unpleasantly: "It's probably that guy's evil taste again. It's a sample taken when we caught us, he was using that to create clones."
Eleanor: "Is there anything we can do?"
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmYKnm6Bmb
"Since we saved him now, help him to the end." It was meaningless to leave the kid here after purifying him, he would die so quickly, after we destroy here. Knowing Eleanor will feel guilty to let this happen, I just have to suggest this.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pWv6P80QM
Zaveid agreed and proposed a rough plan: "Walk and see if there is a safe place. Where won't be affected after this entire facility collapses."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9suPG6PkQD
Edna said with a smirk: "If there is such a place, it will only be outside the fortress, right?"
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEYwTfpqrt
"The portal can still be used." So far Zaveid’s idea is the only possible solution to take, I suggested the method to achieve it. I remembered that the only entrance here is a portal. It is not impossible to assume that it is a safe place.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWy6SOya6L
Eleanor agreed: "Theoretically feasible"
Zaveid warned: "But before that, the traces of malevolence did not disappear after our purification"
Edna pointed out: “It seems that what we purify is not the source.”
Eleanor said: "Then, first find out the source of the malevolence, it might be the dark mud we aimed for."
"Agree, this was originally one of our goals, but if you stay close to malevolence, you all might become dragons." I warned before we actually started the plan, because the whole team except me consisted of seraphim.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshxfnC3RK9
Zaveid: "I have no problem."
Eleanor: "I am not afraid"
Edna: "If there is something, we will use you as a vessel, so it will be more refreshing to solve it quickly."

“You should just frankly ask for their help, Velvet-han.” Normal Eternal laughed softly, since he still sits on my shoulder, his voice sounds next to my ear.

The bow and arrow, which are filled with mana, are aimed at the dragon's jaw, and the arrow is shot towards the dragon's head with the momentum of penetrating the skull, the refreshing water mana of the arrow colliding with the burning mana of sacred sword and form a hot white light. The flame of silver burns the malevolence around the dragon. The dragon should be something that cannot be purified. Even leaving the corpses of dragons will cause the surrounding environment to be polluted. However it disappeared in a flash, turning into a black wind and flying to the center… to a mysterious crystal.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PYUNEIOsW
That is the statue that emerged after the entire facility ascended to the sky. From our perspective, it is something in the backlight, so we can’t fully perceive it. Through the weak light transmitted by the crystal-like material, we observed the shape of something inside, there is something falling asleep inside it.

"Since just now, the malevolence of purification has been unreasonably low." Mikleo pointed out the phenomenon he observed and raised questions.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIzNYgGckk
"It feels like there are a lot of hellions disappearing before they can be purified, and the malevolence is absorbed. It seems that something has dealt with the malevolence earlier than the inflammation of purification, for example, this thing is doing trouble." Alpha looked at the thing in the center of the battlefield Speculate.
"This is indeed very strange." Mikleo agreed.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmwnMHYqRI
"Is there something that absorbed malevolence earlier than the Flame of Purification? If that is one of the enemy's goals..." Lailah suggested a terrible speculation.
"... where did that malevolence go? I've heard about Dragon Farm from Eleanor, if you apply it practically...." I recalled Eleanor’s words and found out similarity between the information and the case here.
"Perhaps as you said, the malevolence collected and absorbed by the dragon, making it the strongest existence, such a simple plan." Alpha lowered his head while thinking of my words.
"These things seem to have really happened... In these three days, we fought with many hellions and dragons ….the whole malevolent army led by Tartarus. Yet many unpurified dragon corpses have disappeared after the war." Mikleo reasoned carefully.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJMmW3zuM9
I observed and stated " The thing in the center, that's something that popped up after the building was lifted off, which makes it very suspicious."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfgqTrKQES
"Though we don't have a way to explore, and... the enemies don't seem to show up anymore." Lailah seems to try steering the conversation away from this topic but guiding it to a relaxed direction.
"Speaking of it, I started to feel very tired."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXeMvi0qaG
The tiredness wasn't showing up until Lailah pointed out the fact that the last dragon in front of me had fallen, and I felt the obvious thinner malevolence. Aware of that I was willing to relax my tight nerves.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzo35xVB0G
"It seems just like Lailah said, no more hellions or dragons for the time being." Alpha said.
"Is everyone okay?"
"Well, I am good, just exhausted." Mikleo said with a smile. It isn’t hard to understand, I also have the same feeling. The continuous and constantly spawning monster battles are very tiring, it even starts to decline our judgment, but our battle may have just begun.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7mB6BczEQ
"Same feeling, but maybe there will be more afterwards."
"It is not good to overwork yourself, take a break when may. You know May Day is a holiday, if you don't take the May break, you may break!" Soon after the battle, Lailah said a pun, so bad that I sighed that I could understand it.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6c3fJ6aACI
"Hahaha..." It's obviously a forced laugh from Alpha.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWhOgOBAI0
"Is a brake ever present in Lailah's brain…..?" Mikleo facepalmed.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqPWBk80MT
"Apparently not even when she is taking a break." It seems that if you stay with Lailah for too long, your mind will be abnormal. Because I feel myself turned this way.

"Yes, that's why I am un-brak-able!" Lailah gladly accepted the comment towards her.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5Ov6YsR4c

Just when I was about to lie on the ground and gasped for breath, I realized that neither of the two things could do what I wanted. The air here is very thin and cold, perhaps because Roes mentioned in the communication that we were raised thousands of miles above the ground. The rocky ground behind it is not flat, and it has become a bumpy rubble after the destruction of Maotelus. The ground can't let people lie down comfortably, I finally gave up lying down and sat on the ground.

I noticed that a part of the "island" was abnormally complete even after the explosion, like a smooth curved section cut by some force, as if the entire ground had been removed.
At the same time, I think of a few people who are not on the scene, it feels creepy to imagine. I proceeded carefully to the edge of the cut surface, and the probe looked down. At most, I can only see the cut surface of the first floor below. Perhaps this building is not a simple cuboid, after all, it is a building that develops underground and does not need a regular shape. I can barely see the thick and hard walls and floor below, but I haven't seen the people I was looking for.
There were dark clouds outside the building, and the cold wind blew across the back of the neck, and I realized that we were really raised to a very high place. Here, under the shadow of the malevolence, everything has become very vague, even for myself, is just a small existence. I try not to think about the possibility that they have all fallen from such a high place. I secretly shook my head and looked back at the place where I was fighting just now. Because the dust from the ground collapse was scattered, I can see the surrounding situation clearly: the whole ground has collapsed without original skin, Velvet and the others may have been involved in the collapse. After all, her luck seems to be really not good.

I believe they are not that simple to die, but I am still very worried.
"I wonder how Edna, Velvet, Zaveid and Eleanor’s doing."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhwlFjmU5g
"Sorey-san, you may use the pact contract channel to contact them, we have this free time now" Lailah reminded me that we indeed have this way to contact. Thinking of Velvet is my third squire, this is incredible and unbelievable in itself. She is not like a person who is obedient, but according to Lailah, Squire is a partner who walks side by side with the Shepherd. From this point of view, it is true, but from my point of view, she is a more special existence than a squire. Not only because she was a Lord of Calamity and I don’t want to call her that way neither….I just don’t think the title of Squire suits Velvet. I actually don't want to believe what connects us is only such a pact.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1JLiYkjJC
"Then try to contact them now." But now I am very grateful for the connection between us.
"Velvet, Edna, Zaveid, Eleanor, can you hear me?"
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWD0H5yDeg
"... Sorey?! How come the voice came directly from the brain?!" Velvet received my call and sounded surprised, seems like she doesn’t know about this function of our pact.
"Well, this is a contract communication, and anyone with a pact connection with Lailah can hear it. I'm sorry to contact you so late. I was so busy just now." I explained how this function works with my limited knowledge.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zF1csXeed
"Yeah, it's really late, examine yourself, now dance the Normin dance for me." Edna teased.
Velvet commented reasonably, "No, you can't see him even if he does the Normin dance."
Edna "How rude, you want to defend Sorey? Now, YOU dance the Normin dance for me."
Velvet: "I have never heard of such a thing."
Edna "How ignorant, reflect on yourself, as punishment, dance the NORMIN dance..."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLNBwzTObK
Zaveid smirked: "And it never stop, after all these years still the Normin dance Huh~"
Mikleo "Lailah, don't you plan to stop it?"
Lailah "Why should I? It's a good thing that they can improve their relationship!"
Mikleo "How did you come to the conclusion that they are enhancing their relationship?"
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjaQYsz72X
Edna: "It's rude to ignore me and talk to others. As an apology, you dance the Normin dance too."
I laughed helplessly: "Isn’t this enough…?"
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV3Ij0q8gR
Although we were divided, the dialogue felt that we were all together, which made me feel at ease. We are all weirdos, but they are all my best partners. They made me temporarily forget the pressure in these dangerous places.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlwdzAqGv3
"Anyway, how about your side?" Velvet asked, concerned about our situation.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLEdXoUieA
"After the ground collapsed, a lot of hellions appeared but were then beaten by us. The mist of malevolence seemed to be thinning, and there was time for us to breathe." I reported.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOhrLYHiaJ
Velvet said something interesting: "That's it, it seems that we guessed it right."
Edna then followed with a more interesting response: "It's really worthwhile that we bombed for so long."
Zaveid said: "It's really exhausting."
Alpha questioned what they were actually talking about: "BOMBED?"
"Anyway, thank you so much..." I will give my gratitude as I feel like they helped our side.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpFCnlu7R1
Mikleo smirked: "Now that the entire building is in the air, Sorey just wondered if you guys fell off."
I was surprised when Mikleo said: "Weird, did I say it?"
Mikleo: "It's all written on the face."
Alpha: "So what method is used to destroy the source of malevolence?"
Eleanor: "It's very complicated to explain, to conclude it's an explosion."
Lailah: "Although there is no fire seraph on your side?"
Eleanor: "I can cast ‘fireball’, but it was Zaveid that managed to cause the explosion."
Lailah: "Hmm? I think I know what it is."
Velvet "Just making what I've seen come true again."
I guessed it must be a crazy plan again:"Although I don't know the real situation, I feel like it is very crazy."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGG9CRRljuu
Zaveid laughs: "Bro, you guessed too right."
Velvet said: " Now we are still reluctantly in the plan. We are divided into two teams. The first task is to solve the black mud issue and the anti-seraphic device, and then to beat the dragon and Tartarus. Now you are outside and we are inside. Just look for each separately."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYrwWmQhLN
Me: "Well, I understand. If nothing is found, I will meet you guys as soon as possible. Tartarus should be on your side, please be careful."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZMgPwVDyK
"I'll be very careful, knowing my case…..."
She said somewhat sarcastically, looks like she was being in mind with her wounds situation and she cares about how it makes her inconvenient now.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyiT2OZ0qZ
"...it's okay to have weaknesses, that means you are a human being, and I know you are strong with your strength." I said something that came to mind.
Velvet: "...my strength?"
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT8Ly1hPMQ
Just as I was about to answer, the sound of the earphone interrupted my action.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZC0hZdTxbE
"Sorey...Velvet, can you hear me?" Rose called in not very timely.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXVSqqWcwt
"I heard." I responded but Velvet still didn't respond.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmKq72KvwV
Rose: "...I can't contact Velvet, something happened?"
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63Oc4xPjuC
Me: "Velvet, didn't you receive Rose's call?"
Velvet: "Huh? No sound was heard in the earphones except for some noise."
Me: "Well, let me tell Rose about your situation for you."
Velvet "Well, thank you."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBM7P7gOQK
I told Rose about what I know, including Mikleo’s speculation on the amount of abnormal malevolence, and also told her about the current situation on Velvet and the inability to communicate with earphones on her side. Rose thought for a while, and the background over there was full of bombing. They should also be dealing with the monsters that flew away just now.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPoZPKIma8
Rose: "I used my technology to scan the entire facility and analyzed the environment on your side. It is true that your surroundings are close to zero malevolence on the surface, but they cannot be compared with the huge crystal next to you. The crystal is like a piece of highly compressed malevolence mass, which also has a high-energy response. There is a living-body-reaction inside, although it cannot be observed precisely. However, the most conservative estimate is that it is a dragon inside. In the worst case, it is the one we are looking for, that powerful dragon. Thus. I agree with MIKLEO's speculation, please be super careful."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLrkTBgeVh
Me: "I will."
Rose: "In addition, I agree with Velvet's proposal. They carried out the intrusion of the facility, and you found and destroyed the anti-seraphic device. Please help me to pass the message to Velvet, saying that the portal is at the bottom of the facility, and the road is spiraling down. So there is basically only one way, let her be careful."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw3Ud3Kv62
I thanked Rose and passed the necessary information to Velvet. She said she got it, and asked me to thank her on her behalf.
At the same time she said: "I feel that the dragon should be on your side. Be careful."
I didn't tell Velvet about Rose's speculation, but she still guessed that the dragon is on my side, and it seems that her intuition is also unusually strong.
Me: "Well, both of us must be careful, good luck."
Velvet "Good enough, I will contact you later."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxn8B58mejy
The call ended in this way. I don’t know what will happen to Velvet then. I can only trust her and my companions. In order to prevent Velvet from encountering situations where they can’t use the seraphic artes, I will try my best to find that device.
Since the dialogue was over, I could not respond to Velvet’s question about strength. She said she is weak now. Yeah, now her body is weak, but she is strong at the same time. I still remember standing on the edge in that ancient ruin in that abyss when we fought Tartarus. Her body seemed to fall down at any time, but for the sake of her companions who were fighting outside, she resolutely continued to say that she would fight as bait. I know that she is a vulnerable person too but always does her best for the people she loves. Until the goal is reached, no matter how many times she is defeated, she will stand up again.That is the strength of her I know.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRECW1x7Er0
And I will fight with all my strength too.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Inside the Facility-ELEANOR POV
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqyO1phCOvE
The sudden call ended, Velvet took a look at the surrounding environment and prepared for the departure. I also reviewed the environment again, and it turned into a pile of rubble perfectly. Ten minutes ago, here was an experiment field that seemed to be working.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnSgzFKjw4
There were storage vessels of malevolence all around, which are connected to the center by pipes on the ground. In the center, there was a special stone that is very common in the earthpulse realm, the stone attached to a huge glass tube for storage, of course, it stored malevolence. At the moment we entered, the malevolence attached to the ceiling hit us like waves, like covering us with a coffin lid. Fortunately, both Edna and Zaveid reacted so quickly that they bounced it away with a spell. Then the hellions came into being wave after wave, endlessly. It is not sensible to directly attack the malevolence container. It will only allow the inner malevolence to overflow the air and swallow the attacker, and the seraphim present will only sacrifice in vain. However, the container seemed to be strong enough to directly withstand the attacks, and it was abnormal that it was not affected to become a hellion.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqkWtnxfRE
"Retreat first,the attack is not efficient and the risk is great." Velvet probably concluded that after observing it. Everyone else agreed with this conclusion and fled to the entrance of the room with all their strength. The malevolence in the back stretches out like having life, as if it is about to reach out and grab us and eat us. Yet the extended tentacles were all bounced away by our attack, and we ran out of the room all the way while maintaining this state.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpgxFgQ5Li
We were not really safe until we went out and closed the door. Everything about the room is unknown except malevolence, which makes us afraid to act rashly, but we don't have much time. According to the accretion rate of the malevolence in the room, it should overflow from it soon, and it will be more difficult to deal with then.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8AmHJ924L
In this situation where no one can approach but we must destroy it, Velvet proposes a super messy plan---Blown up. the entire room.
"...What are you thinking about again?" I asked helplessly.
"I don't know the strength of the container or how many hellions will be produced, or even how much malevolence overflows. It is too dangerous to stay in the room in this ignorant state.” Velvet answered.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxWcIWcn1p
"We all understand this." Still it has nothing to do with the explosion plan.
"But we still need to destroy the source of malevolence."
"Yes, we need a way to do damage outside while we get out of the way."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOU6XgML15H
"Is there such a way?"
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGuPlacpJf
"Do you want to use..." Zaveid looked at our team and only thought of one possible option that came to mind: "Dust Fire?"
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTcKHuEw11
Velvet nodded. Zaveid scratched his head a little bit irritably, and muttered: "Your thinking is exactly the same as Beta, would it because... she is a clone of you?"
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOS14ResV82
"Be careful not to let the child hear this sentence of yours. I don't agree with this reason. The child has followed you for a while, and her thinking mode will also be affected by you. You guessed what I want to do, which shows your thinking is similar to me, so it’s no surprise that she, who is similar to you, is similar to me." Velvet disagrees with Zaveid’s remarks. She thinks that Zaveid, as a parent equivalent to Beta, should not say these words.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrOjJZXQWR
"That is, Zaveid, you are also a messy and reckless person like Velvet." Edna snickered.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm0gqUZEgY
"...Yeah... Yeah, I lost it. Just as you said, but you have only seen it once, do you have the confidence to implement it smoothly?" Zaveid gave up the argument, and he also knew that such remarks were not justified. However, for the practice of Dust Fire, he felt that Velvet, as an ancient person, should not know the knowledge of Dust Fire clearly. He was sure Velvet had seen it at most once, and he didn't know how she thought she could do it.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLje1GqRkp
"I don't know how to use it, but I remember that it takes dust, fire and you to control the wind to do it. Our team is just enough. I have done what I can do. Then, it is what you should do. You are the one who understands the principles and risks best."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm4xXntgF8
"So are you going to stand behind and watch?" Edna asked without emotion, sounding like she was blaming Velvet. I just wanted to explain to her, but Velvet answered firmly.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL2kZbQvPD
"It's a pity, yes." She seemed to answer with the consciousness of saving her life even if she was blamed.
"That's good, the injured should stay behind. On the contrary, our backs will be left to you." Edna smiled lightly, seemingly satisfied with the answer.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIMiRIFsIH
"Ok."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmFs7u30FQ
"Okay, you have found the right person, I will help you ruin it grandly!" Zaveid laught.
Under hiss instructions, the team arranged everything step by step.
A limited area, a lot of dust, and finally sporadic fire.
These are completed by the division of labor of each Seraphim in the team.
The wind surrounds the room, seeming to guide all the space in. The floor inside is shattered and dust is raised, but the dust follows the flow of the wind and is locked in the room to fly.
Zaveid controls the area so that dust will not fly out of the room and he regularly replenishes oxygen in the locked area.
Edna smashed the floor to manufacture the dusty situation in the area, and finally I ignited the flame.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVSiET6KMG
"Eternal, can you fight on your own?" Velvet asked in the rear.
"Yes, as long as I want to protect, I will protect it to the end," Eternal replied firmly.
"........please."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4F08vsGVp
Then I felt that I was protected by a kind of power, and my strength was greatly improved.
Even my worries about the lack of heat have disappeared. This is the strengthening ability of Normin that Gramps said.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU12W9nhbdj
There is a strong explosion in this nearly-closed room. I don’t know the principle of dust combustion. I knew it only after hearing Zaveid’s explanation. As long as there are a certain number of very fine particles suspended in the air in a poorly ventilated space, a little heat will make the particles vibrate at high speed and cause the burning particles to quickly spread the fire. In other words, the more dusty the place, the more vigorous the fire will be.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqKnvJjQUz
When performing such a precise operation, I once worried that the malevolence container would overflow in large quantities when it disintegrated, and at the same time, there would be hellions that we could not beat in an instant. Now it seems that I have been worrying too much, and the hellions inside seem to have just been born, then were burned to death. The continuous combustion will cause a secondary explosion due to the fire source competing for oxygen. However, if there is Zaveid’s supplemental oxygen, flashover will occur. Continue to increase the internal temperature, until I feel that everything is melting, everything in the room burns on its own, including the hellions.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0blcC8gKh
An attempt was made to forcibly melt the facilities in the room with heat, and the final result was the rubble and ashes in front of me.’
It is estimated that the wall of this room is the main wall that serves as the axis of the building. It is particularly thick. Even if the objects in the room are broken into pieces after successive bombings, they did not fall down. We do not understand the principle that malevolence is produced infinitely, and we have destroyed this place in an extremely violent way. The gangue in the center of the room had been bleakly shattered into fragments, and it should have lost its connection with the earthpulse. The room also lost its investigative value after the severe damage. After the dialogue with Sorey and his team on the top of the building was over, we decided to go to the lowest floor for the teleportation arte and send the kid to a safe place.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk3B7f9Kgy

19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BONqJ2wuq
We opened another door at the end of the room. In the front is a corridor, and a row of rooms that look very solid. There are small windows outside the rooms to see the situation inside. I looked curiously from the small window. It was blank inside, there was only one person inside. The person inside had desperate eyes and seemed unwilling to stay in the room. After a while, I recalled the fact that this was a cell.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4mZGPTZY7
"This is it, where I was imprisoned." Edna said, looking at the room.
"That is to say, it may not be possible to use the seraphic arte here." Zaveid's eyes sharpened for a moment.
I also tried to destroy the door using the seraphic artes, but nothing appeared.
"Really, it can't be used." I looked at the door that was not damaged in any way, but I didn't think of giving up in my mind.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C1pAiN9IG
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA0tJ5r7Y4
"If you want to save them, don't stop here... find another way to open the cell." Velvet said helplessly. Although her tone was helpless, her expression was not reluctant or disgusting.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9e7v5G37u9
"Why are you so surprised? What you are thinking about is inseparable from helping others." Velvet pointed out.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly when she said that, I asked: "But you agree to help them?"
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMywOwEC1w
"If I disagree, you will be upset for a long time. If you are distracted in the action, you will be prone to accidents. Then it is better to solve your troubles as soon as possible, and the rescued people… could be our combat power.” Since most of the prisoners are seraphim, they still have a little combat power. I probably understand why Velvet said so. Still, I think Velvet still wants to help them herself too. The consideration of combat power is only an excuse…... This person is always being so awkward instead of being honest, really can't help her.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSihSh69gfa
"Then, you came to rescue me before, so you know the way, right?" Edna said.
"Well, there is a control room below, where you can control the opening and closing of all the doors."
"Then go quickly. Edna and Zaveid, stay here please, and bring the prisoners down as soon as the door opens." Velvet instructed.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW0iozCgW3
"Eh?" Velvet said like she is going with me, did I get it wrong?
"You are really surprised at everything. Although you are strong, I can't let you go alone, for the sake of any accidents. Eternal and I will also follow." Velvet is talking things as if nothing has happened. She was always very caring, and I think she became gentle under the influence of Sorey.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3wNNa2zTK
"Fine then, let's go to the control room together." Then I will happily accept her kindness.
"Good luck, three of you," Zaveid smiled and waved.
"Ha, you clearly know that there is no such thing as good luck in me." Velvet sighed lightly and waved her hand.
"No, it's already very lucky for you to meet Sorey in this era, right?" Zaveid said with a smile on his face.
"...You got me there." Velvet replied a little bit complaining.
"Oh, I'm just talking about things on my mind. See you later. Velvet, Eleanor, Eternal." Zaveid said.
"See you later."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFig8I7aSX
After a brief separation, we went to the lower level. The road of this facility is relatively single direction, it is either a room or a road, and there is no superfluous thing. Perhaps because this is not a facility for others to use, it is relatively shallow in various aspects White, there is obviously only one stairway connecting the whole building.It is a one-way street for one person to walk.It is narrow and long, and there is no window looking out.The atmosphere is very depressing under not enough light.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVN2mmyZk3
"It looks like it is here."
"Yes it is,"
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU31b1aoPxy
"We must be ready to rush to the bottom in one breath. When we open the door of the cell, our whereabouts may be discovered soon."
"...You are right, before opening the door, let's explore what else we can do."
Perhaps it is because she is more prepared to deal with various situations than she is preparing to fight. The things that Velvet takes into consideration have increased significantly and considered more carefully. I again think she is reliable as a companion and absolutely does not want to be an enemy. .
And she who planned things so rationally made me feel that she is indeed the sister of Artorius.
When I was still an exorcist, I didn't notice it because of the different positions, but now I can perceive that-whether it is Velvet who hated Artorius at the time or the Velvet who wants to start again now, she also has the teachings of Artorius in mind. That Artorius's instructions she may even recite it backward, and she plans things to avoid being affected by feelings as much as possible.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5P9EUeGMEF
Maybe she is still unable to separate sensibility and rationality when she is tough on the outside but a softie on the inside, but overall she still maintains her thinking on the rational side. When she thinks rationally, even the ‘former I’ would think that she is the kind of unscrupulous means to achieve goals, even though she herself often claims to be like this, and at the time I was deceived by her disguised indifference. In fact, from the point of view of unscrupulous means, Artorius is the same, but Velvet's so-called unscrupulous means still retains the option of humanization. Her human side of this may be what made me choose to follow her in the end.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoA0RCwkUHm
"Velvet-han, this thing seems to be written to you." Eternal held a crumpled piece of paper and walked towards Velvet. It was obvious that it had been crushed into a ball and thrown aside as rubbish.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8PXO2AmDg
"Thank you, Eternal...it turned out to be here. I didn't expect him to pick up the letter and read it." Velvet took the paper from Eternal and took a closer look and said something like this. It sounds like when she was trapped, something was accidentally lost here.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9liU0VGn30
"What's that?" After hearing her speak in a slightly nostalgic and gentle voice after seeing the letter, I was curious about who wrote it to her.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKlwsTYI3Y
"This... is the letter you wrote to me before, Phi gave me when I saw him. Really, only you can think of writing to me." She was a little shy to say this awkwardly.
"The old me.....?.... Ah... I'm SO SORRY, I just sent you letters, SO STRANGE of me." Looking back, there was indeed such a thing, when I was still a human being. I wrote a bunch of letters to this person who I might never see again. It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s like writing a diary. Now that I see the letter appearing in front of me, even if there is only one, I can’t help but feel a little shy. I couldn't help it, and I responded awkwardly to her with complaints.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsyqtWwkDF
"So, why does it appear in this place, and it seems to have been crumpled into a ball of paper?" My shy mood made me couldn't help but speak in a wrong tone, but I still controlled myself not to speak too much.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIr3Wj1Nm3
"At that time, I suddenly received a lot of letters, which made me unable to read it for a while. I probably didn't finish reading one tenth. This is the last one I read at that time...this letter just happened to be in my pocket. Maybe it was trapped here and accidentally lost here, and then Tartarus picked it up. The letter was not like this when I had it in my hand. Maybe he felt very unwilling after reading the letter, so he crumpled it up angrily." Velvet calmly answered, stay not irritated.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE8LvA4AdP
"... Hmm... I remember I didn't write anything maddening on it..."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiePLUU5NN
"This is not your problem, it's just his unilateral psychological distortion, because he has always been jealous that I have companions. This letter is the evidence of this, and I should be grateful that he didn't tear it up directly."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBHkbpKTLC
"...That's it."
"Moreover, I am grateful that you wrote to me...That was the first time I received a letter in my life, and this letter encouraged me to think again when I was about to give up, to work hard... and now... I am very fortunate to have you by my side."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRa8EZYOrv
"Velvet..." To be honest, I didn't expect Velvet to say this at all. She was never a frank person. It is rare for her to express her feelings honestly. I used to hear her reaction like this. I wonder if the sky is going to fall, maybe it's not much different from this meaning, because the last time I clearly felt this sense of violation, she secretly decided to sacrifice herself to seal Innominat, and she disappeared under the stigma. Yet, now I don’t think this will happen again.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzDmedeJz8
I dare not conclude that she has completely changed, but her actions showed the will to work hard to live, so what she is expressing at this moment is her pure gratitude. Today, she seems to have a lot of words and deeds that are weird to me. They are different from my previous acquaintance of hers, she seems to have become more straightforward. No, maybe the Velvet before that happened was like this, I also saw it in the illusion of Aball, she just changed to her original little by little. It's all thanks to the frank people around her, which must have Sorey's influence. Although she still won't be exactly the same as her before, I am very happy to see her change like this.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzl3plsJbt
"I am also glad that you are with me, Velvet."
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYKoStpQi2
"...Okay, no more nonsense... Keep searching, time is running out." She was a little shy and turned away her eyes.
……. Well, sure enough, she is still not frank! But she is such a person, she rarely expresses herself actively, but she would always stay in mind to those important people in her heart... I like her a lot in this aspect... .. so I will always be by her side.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRLbg6vGTg
"This is..." In the control room, the images of all the monitored facilities are being shown. Unlike the last time I came, more things are displayed. It seems that the next rescue operation went smoothly. It is the reason why Tartarus deliberately released us. From the beginning, he wanted to make Velvet desperate with false hope to let SoreyY be released. The only thing he miscalculated was that he underestimated Sorey and his companion. What I saw now is the original appearance of this place.

Even so, the information I reviewed last time is correct. It proves that Tartarus is creating powerful hellions and dragons, and that is the information he thinks it doesn’t matter if I know it. Then the facilities related to malevolence up there won't be the only the destroyed, I found another terrible device being shown on the main screen, with various parameters and indicators on it.
``Malevolence fill rate'', ``Malevolence absorption rate'', ``Remaining from awakening 45minutes'', etc., are all disturbing items shown on screen.
"Seems like very bad things, is there a way to force it to stop?" Velvet saw it and said the same. Her instincts have always been accurate, and I feel the same.

"I'll give it a try." As I said this, I used the intelligence implanted in my brain when it was controlled by Tartarus to operate the computer, trying to cut off the connection between control and other devices, but the strange thing is that the computer does not seem to have complete control, because the subject is not a simple scientific instrument. Velvet is also trying to get in touch with Rose, but there are barriers that hinder communication.

"Eleanor, try to connect the system and communication of this ‘watch device’ directly to the main computer in this control room."
"Are you serious? This is for communication, and my knowledge of computer operation comes from Tartarus."
"If I can't communicate, it's useless to keep it, so why don't you try something more useful? Can you do it?"
"...Okay, let me try." At the suggestion of Velvet, I connected Rose's communication system for Velvet to the Tartarus system. I think Rose will feel troubled that she will receive a lot of information for a while.
"...-----Eh?...What?... Suddenly something? This is the connection of the Velvet’s terminal?! VELVET, what did you do."
"Connect the watch system you gave me to the Tartarus control room, and now I can finally contact you."
"...What...I said you are really messy and reckless. You connected such a dangerous thing."
"...Then, can you control the system here?"

"...Let me see, it is okay for the time being, and I can also see the system information. Thanks to this, I can support the situation on Sorey's side. But Tartarus also has the right to mind control the system, which cannot be eliminated."

Then Rose seemed to tell Sorey’s side of the information she knew from the system, and stopped the operation of crystals to absorb malevolence, and at the same time I opened all the doors of the cell.

"Illegal intruder is detected and the system is being scanned. The destruction of the first malevolence facility is confirmed... Attempt to repair... Failed... Restart... ERROR. ..ERROR..... The system is overloaded and attacked by the system for unknown reasons. It will self-destruct within ten minutes."

"... Rose, what did you do?"
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXL0tE6rqpm
"...Hmm.... I tried to press it everywhere, and then it seemed that an isolated virus was accidentally removed, because it would be very dangerous here too, so I stopped the connection now, good luck!"

"...Hey, ROSE---" the situation has returned to the state where communication is not possible, and Rose has unilaterally disconnected.
"She has no right to say that I am crazy." Velvet rolled her eyes while complaining.
"...Really.".......I think both of you should examine yourself!
"If this goes on, we will be discovered. If we finish everything we need to do, then we will run away." Before I finished speaking, Velvet had already taken my hand and started running.

While checking the holographic facility map stored on the watch, she drove down the stairs.
The facility is a gyro-shaped structure, and the further down the floor, the smaller the space.
We haven't encountered Tartarus in the space ahead, so it's not surprising that we will meet him in the front.

Originally, the scenery on the lower floor should be similar to the upper floor, but the lower floor I saw became an outdoor scenery. It became an infinite wilderness, and above it was not the ceiling but the scarlet sky.

In the middle of the wilderness, under the red moon, stood a figure that we all know and hate...

A.N.
I have forgotten how many months it took to finish writing this chapter. Although I have thought about what will happen, it is... difficult to connect them logically and interestingly. Originally I didn’t plan to have Velvet not fight, that is also one of the reasons for difficulty. I tried to remember what was the Master doing in FGO as a character not being able to fight in the story when the story is full of battles. At the same time, it is really difficult to write a lot of characters. It will squeeze my brain juice to do, the inspiration is about to wither.

But ..... I have to thank Ina(hololive) for letting me realize what PUN is. For the first time I don’t use PUN GENERATOR to write a pun. I hope it can be regarded as a pun... .... It's really hard to write dad jokes in non-native languages.
