What is that?

Minerva grew her mouth, her vocal cords unable to vibrate the doubts in her heart, and stared blankly at the sky. All kinds of abrupt colors bloom in the sky, but it is not the scenery that should be in the world, looking up at the scenery that even magic cannot reproduce. There are no moving emotions in my heart, only fear fills my chest.

"What are you talking about?loud, I can't hear ......!!"

The spider held the microphone and roared, and under the strong electromagnetic interference, the microphone was filled with the "rustling" noise of electrical interference. The emergency warnings emanating from the Axis and relayed by other ships could not avoid the invisible wall, and the spiders almost shoved the receiver into their ears to hear what they were saying.

"What? The sensing frame resonates and makes us urgently avoid 20 nautical miles away? What are you kidding?! This is just an old sail cargo ship, even with the help of the 'Abyss', it can't run fast! What? This is the supreme order? Don't talk nonsense! Even if the Mother God is here, what can't be done is not possible!"

Unable to hold back the emotion, the microphone was heavily buckled, and the girl grabbed her scalp hard.

Even if she didn't have this warning and didn't see the Axis being left far behind, she wanted to leave as soon as possible.

It's not just a luminous phenomenon, it's a ray of light that sucks away human life.

Saying this for no reason, the goosebumps on her back kept standing on her back - the professional killers she had trained were not the type to follow her feelings, but her body's reaction no longer allowed her to be calm.

As far as the eye can see, two incompatible waves of light are facing each other. The aftermath of the rivalry stirred the sea of clouds and the real sea below. In the face of that strong wave, this small sampan will fall apart and sink into the sea in three or two clicks.

"What kind of monster is being sent from above......"

Try to make your voice sound less like a tremble, but the fist hidden in the sleeve is uncontrollable and swings slightly.

The inductive framework, the resonance, the mental stance, the transformation of thoughts into physical energy, the analogous reaction of mana - I don't understand the logic of those terms, but I also understand that the farther away from the storm, the better. Restlessly trying to discuss with dolphins and killer whales, he sped away when he caught a glimpse of Minerva's movements.

The restless Mana gathered around Minerva, slowly but surely and steadily constructing the surgical circuit, the center of the brilliant circuit of the floating surgical pattern plate, and the petite body left the deck little by little.

"Stop. ”

The filaments of the fingertips wrapped around the girl's wrists, and they looked at each other with an annoyed expression that showed "why stop me", and the killer's characteristic cold and hard door shook in the air.

The jade-like eyes emitted the courage of "no rudeness". Face that invisible force. Ordinary people will be more or less sluggish, and even kneel on the spot if they are not good, but the spider has no intention of backing down.

"You don't think you've done enough and want to do it again. Will you kill him?"

"What?"

Forced by prickly words. The flashes of light in the circuit flickered on and off like breathing.

"Even if you are the so-called 'Your Highness'. There must be a limit to willfulness. What do you think he's working so hard for? A burden that can't be used for anything, even if he flies to his side. In addition to distracting their precious energy in the battle, in the end, the two of them were killed together. What else do you think you can do?"

“......！！”

Relentless harsh reproaches take away the strength of the body. The light of the circuit became more and more dim, and eventually disappeared completely.

Feelings of disgust that I had never felt before came to my mind, unwillingness, remorse, anger, self-blame, guilt, powerlessness - alternately in my mind.

She knew very well that the spider was only stating the facts, and that there was no room or need to accept blame, and she knew what she should do now, which was as natural as breathing and blinking an eye for Minerva, who grew up in an environment where she had to be calculating, to survive.

But it was precisely because he knew how powerless and willful he was, causing the boy to hurt himself again and again, that he wanted to do something, even if it was the most insignificant thing.

Minerva's fingers were tangled and clenched, and her clenched fists were placed at her lips.

It was the Wiltrie created by God, the ubiquitous "prayer service".

Joy, gratitude, sorrow, repentance, praise, supplication - the actions that people do when they express something to the Mother Goddess.

"What's the use of praying to God at times like these......

Squinting at the silent princess, the corners of her mouth twisted and spat out obvious prickly words, which immediately attracted several unfriendly side glances on the deck.

Even V.E., which has a strong atmosphere of internal competence supremacy, has a considerable number of followers. Spider's overly realistic, even atheistic remarks will naturally be exchanged for angry eyes.

"But ......"

The face remained resolute, but for the first time in Minerva's voice, there was color in it, and the prayers and earnestness from the bottom of my heart trembled in the air.

"That's all I can help with now, and I don't want to miss out on the only thing I can do. ”

“...... Prayer...... Is it?"

The momentum was slightly reduced, and the spider looked at the colorful battle hell surging in the sky.

Even if she didn't witness it with her own eyes, she knew very well that Roland's chances of winning were extremely low, and even with the help of the new MDS, it would still be extremely courageous and unscrupulous to challenge the strengthened ancient species with the flesh and blood of the intelligent species.

But-

If it's him.

If it's the one who is in a different realm from himself, the gentle is almost stupid. It's obviously the adopted son of that adult, but he doesn't have any shelf. I was tricked by myself to the point of being at a loss.,At the same time, there are words of a young man who shines as brightly as the sun...... The spider couldn't help but want to believe, wanted to regard the boy as his "light", and wanted to see him return safely.

"That's right......"

With a wry smile, the girl did the same, and in Minerva's alternately confused and relieved eyes, she put her clasped hands to her mouth and closed her eyes.

It's not an earth-shattering move, and it's not too strong.

Only, as Minerva said, the only thing that could be done - praying for the clumsy rotten good man to return safely from the battlefield - was the only act of doing his best.

It's not that the gods are used as an excuse to prevaricate, and it's not that we're driven by laziness and death to give up our efforts. The maidens and the people on the cargo ship are just a simple and strong desire to "live" and "see the boy return safely", watching the little candle called "hope" in the storm of despair.

Everyone reverently closed their eyes and curled up like babies, so that they could not see a small point of light appear in front of everyone. Interlaced with a rainbow of light, finger-sized balls of light floated high in the air and flew towards the center of the distant storm. (To be continued......)
