The world is in flames. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info She looked up in confusion, the scarlet sky seemed to herald the imminent end of this world. Hints of failed missions echoed in her mind, and she couldn't understand why it had become the way it had been. She looked at the bow she was holding in her hand, it was supposed to be like a god's power, even the sun could annihilate it, Ariel's bow. But she was still defeated, and she was defeated very completely. She didn't take into account the threats beyond the dragons - vampires, dragonborns across the sea, or forces in the Mage Academy that didn't belong to this world, all of them were potential threats to this world.

She failed to complete her mission, failed to protect the world.

Again.

She smiled miserably, the name of God, it didn't matter to her anymore. Even God, in the end, can't do anything.

"You can do it."

The figure, standing in front of her, held out its hand to her.

"Even if the future is going to be like this, you can save the world. You can do it, even if it doesn't work out this time... You can, there will come a day, you can, even if you can't do it alone, just the two of us together. And then add the people who are likely to act together in the future, and the world will be safe and sound... Don't believe in yourself, believe in me, believe in me. ”

She was silent, and then... Like a walking corpse, he grabbed the man's hand.

Yes, definitely.

Someday...

Isn't it all in the plan? Everything so far.

She laughed.

Yes, this heart leaf, you will end your journey here, forever.

――――

The battle will soon be over.

Not even needing to do anything at all, Maika quietly crept around Milak during the stalemate between Hakong and Mirak. Just as Mirak's dragon roar froze Hakong's body, the ugly monster could only roar in the face of Mirak's last dragon roar... Just then, Maika appeared from behind Milak. At that moment, strange words came out of her mouth, and Milak hadn't even reacted to what was happening.

To be precise, the heart leaves didn't know what was going on. She never looked away, but she didn't see Maika's movements at all. The next moment, Milak's chest was pierced by a short dagger.

"No... No way... No way! ”

Milak clutched his chest, his face under the mask unaware of the look of horror.

"The dragon's roar of time-pausing... How could you..."

"Even if it's only for seven seconds," Maika seemed to have consumed a lot of physical strength, she gasped and sneered at the dragonborn who was still breathing in front of her, "It's enough to kill you!" ”

“... Don't try to catch me! This is my plane! I'll go back... Back to my home!! ”

Milak suddenly disappeared from the spot, leaving only a trail of blood. But his sudden disappearance didn't panic Maika, the petite cat lady just stood there and watched coldly at where Milak had disappeared. Soon, Mirak's body reappeared from there - with a large amount of blood. Pitch-black tentacles pierced his chest, and a giant eye appeared above his head.

"My dear servant, Mirak. I need to correct you a little, this is my plane. ”

Hermanes Mora would not allow Milak to live.

"The useless should have the posture of the useless, to welcome the ugly death of your ugly life... Farewell, Milac. ”

Mora looked at Milak sarcastically, then withdrew his tentacles, and the body fell to the ground.

"Good... Dragonborn, you're more useful than I thought you would," Mora looked at Maika again, "Guys over there, now, get out of my plane... Of course, you can see that the companion is safe and sound. ”

“... Do your will. ”

Kokoba lowered his head unwillingly. Only, when she lowered her head, she smiled again—she thought she should probably laugh.

"Mission - Dawn is Coming (Main Story, Legendary) Completed: Kill Hakon early. Team Rewards: Base Rewards of your choice x1. Personal Reward: Skill: Vampire Maharaja"

[Altered: Vampire Lord (Legendary, Intrinsic Skill): Can only be obtained from the 'Dawn is Coming' quest. Can only be obtained with Vampire Blood. With the bloodline of the Perfect Vampire Species, this skill gains a whole new effect. Passively increases the bonus gained by the Vampire's bloodline and gains the ability to fly. The Vampire Talent allows you to appear in human form, but also to use the blood magic of the Vampire Maharaja, ordinary swords are difficult to penetrate your skin, and blood manipulation skills and life absorption skills will be ineffective against you."

Her mind moved, and a gap opened up from under her feet, and she didn't look at Maihua from beginning to end. When Kokoba returned to the castle of Hakong, the main plane, the priest suddenly initiated a conversation with her. Through the gap, Kokoba saw Alexander Anderson's somewhat strange face.

"Is there a situation?" Kokoba couldn't help asking.

“... You're going to Stormhelm City next, right?" Anderson stared into Kokoba's eyes, "I don't need to remind you, but... I think you should understand that if you want to do anything to the world, the gods of this world will not sit idly by. ”

"I don't have that intention."

Puzzled, Xinye couldn't help but squint his eyes, Anderson's reminder was unreasonable from any point of view, but since he would say so... Konoha paused for a moment, then asked.

"Why do you say that? If you're worried that my plan will anger the gods of this world, I don't think there's any need for that. I can still tell what I can get and what I can't. ”

“... Perhaps," Anderson snorted, and then suddenly turned to say, "Tsuru Juya seems to be interested in you, and he seems to be eager for you to join 'our' team. So... It's no coincidence that I'm in the same world as you, I'm just a witness. Your victory is certainly what he would like to see best, but... It doesn't mean I'm going to do anything for you in this world. ”

“... I haven't heard of anything like that," Kokoba frowned, "Your team... Is it? I don't think you need me very much. Moreover... I don't have any intention of joining any team. ”

I'm just looking for something. She didn't say this, but stopped paying attention to Anderson's call and started talking to Mora.

"You probably understand the current situation," Kokoba said, "you see, both Hakong and Milak are easy to solve. ”

"But your worst enemies aren't these two guys," Mora's voice rang in Kokonoha's mind, "I suddenly discovered a special curse that exists in you... I don't quite understand what this thing is. I'm curious, you haven't found out what effect this curse has on you so far, and I don't know what form this curse is in. It's funny, at least, it's the power of another god of the same level as you. ”

"Cursed? A god of the same level as me? ”

A sudden curse?

"Ah, first of all, this thing is not the power of any god I know," Mora was observing the strange 'curse' on Kokoba's body, and the more excited the demon god became, "It's intoxicating... The only thing I can know about this curse is its existence and its power. Where does it come from and what effect does it have... These things are completely unknown. It's like... That's the same purpose of this curse. The curse itself is meant to make it a given reality by keeping you from knowing the meaning behind it. ”

"Be specific."

Kokoba returned to Hakong's castle and sat back on the seat that originally belonged to Hakong, and the vampires in the castle were still puzzled by her sudden disappearance, but this sudden appearance made the vampires in the castle frightened and frightened. Since the heart leaves can disappear and appear at will at will, it is also possible to appear behind them at any time and take their heads.

"Hehehe, isn't that interesting? The unknown is the most interesting thing," Mora said inexplicably, "this curse... It shouldn't be unpredictable. It is an irrational existence in itself, you know, curses such an unguardable thing, if there is no trace, then no matter what the world, there can be no other profession... The conjuror will become a god. And this curse has a bit of that meaning. It's like a curse from a sorcerer who has become a god of a higher level than you and me, and this curse has made 'itself untraceable' a reality. It can be assumed that this curse is only working for this effect at the moment, so I can't see through what is hidden behind it. ”

"That is to say... You think a god has made this curse on me," Kokoha narrowed his eyes, "and it doesn't belong to the power of any god in this world. ”

"That's right... It looks like you're going to be up against your 'teammates'. ”

Mora came to this conclusion.

"That's true, but..."Konoha raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "I know who made such a curse, and that god has enough time and reason to do this." I really can't imagine that that appearance is exactly the same as mine, just a disguise? I didn't expect to meet a god-chaser of this level every time... Unfortunately, as much as I can know, I don't have any means to fight back. ”

"Oh? You can't help it? ”

"That's right, this power, we call it 'Holy Pattern'," Heart Leaf deep in his own hand, the mysterious pattern on the back of the hand, silently telling the incomparable power it contains, "Even we don't understand why this power appears on us, and we don't know what kind of deep meaning is behind this power." However, this power is to us like an organ that we have since birth, like an arm. We don't need to learn how to use the Holy Emblem, although as newborns, we sometimes don't have a complete grasp of this power. I guess you're also very interested in this power, right? ”

In the face of Xinye's question, Mora was silent. It's a matter of course, and it's not just interested in Maika because she's alone to face Milac and be able to fight him. It's because of the power brought by this peculiar pattern on the back of the dancing flower's hand, which is obviously just an ordinary pattern, why does it bring power? Mora doesn't know, Kokoba doesn't know, and I'm afraid all the God Chasers don't know either.

"What's next... Why don't you put on a good show, what do you think? ”

"I'm looking forward to it."

The two demon gods were very happy.
