Vol 3 Chapter 4 (2/2)

But…

Vuh!

Seagulls Magic again done a hole in a maze

In the next hole seeull, reses the mother cat

Although there is no word “beast” does not fit here Let his forer, but his skin was covered with strong armor of silver in the form of scales

Frederick

As Feil-dragoon, it could take any for a human

Typically, the most convenient for battle andbody and the wings would be advisable to go through the valley So now she took aniull easier

Gull is totally focused on the ic

Whenever Frederick stopped, it adjusts the “Ruler” and shot them

Torah and Akari ran straight “road”, which paved the Seagull

Their ulti mist

And for that, they came up with this plan

– …

Forward Only forward

Run Run Run Run and do not look around

Just run there, where they point

And this…

“The reward for their trust,” – thought the Torah

What a pleasant feeling

How refreshi+ng to the soul when you can forget about everything and just carried on

Of course, there was the danger

If you betray you and co at full speed into the arms of death Or if there is no one to whom you could trust And if you deviate from the course, then himself and pribesh

Therefore, the first thing to do – to doubt

Think struggling … and decide

Faith – this is a difficult choice that needs to be done before the start of operations

So when you decide to becoood at heart

Just believe huhts – of doubt and speculation about whether this man be trusted

But only those who have passed through the flour, can experience the true pleasure of faith

Even if they betray, they just smile and think “that’s a surprise”

Because there is a balance between pleasure and torment

– Hey, Akari, – said the Torah through the mask

– What’s up, brother?

– What would you do if I gave you for the sake of Seagulls?

– If you … – Akari thoughtfully tilted her head, without reducing the speed – Soine such a situation

That’s how she trusted the Torah

– Well, let’s say, for exa, and I have to leave you

– … – Akari frowned In ait would be a betrayal?

Instead of answering the question Toru heard uttered thoughtful voice

– Life is lory saboteurs … is not it?

– Well … that’s the way it so …

Vuh!

Torah and Akari juh another distorted wall

They happened almost simultaneously

– If it is set in front of you for the sake of the goal, then perhaps you should not carry it out?

– Well … fro about you, Akari

She could become a victim for the purpose of the Torah

Did she considers it natural?

– Brother, you are so selfish … but, no Maybe you lack horizons – suddenly said Akari

– What did you say?

– Reoal”? That’s what I thought as well

– But … these are hts

– I’ht the same

– …

In other words, the Torah, “the ull

And for Akari – the Torah

And then …

– Oh, brother, what are you reckless – Akari said with a hint of brokenness in her voice – Feelings take over the top of you, and you rushi+ng forward And yet … you can not stop thinking, and then stopping and thinkingFor this, I love you and respect you, but to be honest, sometimes I think that you’re not really pull on the saboteur

– … – The Torah found in her words are so ree that the answer did not coe Apparently, not in vain …

In a sense, the thought Akari were several ti than the Torah

That conclusion, which the Torah cao

– What’s up, brother? Did I say so?

– There is nothing

Tohru smiled, then jumped with Akari opened in another hole

Most likely … once it was a big machine

However, after several modifications and due to the fact that several layers of fabric enveloped in it, reseinal forives an indication of what they saw

It stood on a platform, surrounded on all sides by stone walls

Many Gundo, located in the heart of the valley

It was like a giant heart, and entangles its ht In some places penetrated projections like horns between vessels Around on the ground littered with old parts, apparently, no longer required after theof abandonment

This picture came up only one word – unnatural

A huge heart that beats in the depths of the labyrinth

Of course, through it is not circulating blood, and the ic valleyTherefore, around the “heart” of the fog was particularly dense Careless atteet close to clearly hit a power over illusions

And besides …

– Clearly, – Torah, squinting said – Initially, it is the same spell as that of the Gulls

– Uull

In other words, all illusions “of the valley, froe-scale “Ruler” Or, at least, in the spell of the same type and works on the same principle Of course, the power of spells and scale varied drae Gundo made out of the car, as well as, ic

A fog played only two functions – ns

Of course, this spell could operate as usual “ruler”

Namely…

– I never thought that this comes up …

– … I think there are about 50, – I figured Akari’s eyes narrowed

Directly in front of a detached to enter the territory of the site) stood soe to the “heart”

Weak es needed protection

It is therefore natural to assuician has attended to search for a ull, hired spies

But…

– Brother, we are with you … Seagulls and Frederica is not too small? – Akari whispered

All of these figures were in the forulls and Frederica As is the fictional Gull, they are actually composed of matter

– They copy the look, but not technology, – said Thor, recalling false Alberic – This is just a puppetIndividually, they do not represent themselves That’s just …

Puppets together took up arms

Torah and Akari stood with stilettos and haulls were armed with spears and axes, because of what looked ridiculous and absurd Most likely, the Magic could not simulate Gundo and therefore replaced it with a similar weapon As for the false Frederick, they were unarmed

– Here, apparently, the idea is to confuse us?

– Confuse? Than? – I surprised Akari

– Well, would not want to fight against friends and fah there is Not in this case

Sister Torah wake hi with a haht with her, and a few copies of it would not be confused With the illusion of seagulls, he also had an affair and did not feel any doubt at the sight of a puppet with her appearance On the contrary, small differences like the saulls

But Frederick certainly would gladly pereubivala all illusions Torah

But…

– What a dangerous eneht in the weak spot

– What? Do you want to hit rinned

But Akari immediately shook her head

– Why? No

– …

– On the contrary, I can not wait Not sure I can keep calm

– … It is clear, of course, – the Torah sighed, once again berated myself for what to expect from it is impossible

– Although, no, brother, wait ahis left fist to his chest, as if trying to stop shi+vering – In your words there is a grain of truth

– ABOUT?

– If they are now together undress …

– … You think about it?

– Well, can you be excited that you can not fight, brother

– Here’s another!

All of these “soldiers” consisted entirely of ht say, was not It turns out they are already naked

– Can not be If my brother undressed, I … – Akari paused for a few seconds, so – Invented

Co finally to some kind of conclusion, she clapped her hands

– Let’s finish them off, and then I’ll do all I can and stuffed consider carefully

– … Maybe it’s better to forget about the trust and kill you until it’s too late? – Growled the Torah, and then snatched komboklinki

Seals on the pal the extension of the senses Thor turned into a living weapon with blades instead of nails After using the “Zheleznokroviya” it was still very little tiht as usual … but this is not a problem

In the end, though, “Zheleznokrovie” and trump card is just one of the techniques in the arsenal of saboteursMoreover, it is not a panacea that can save any situation In the battle against a large number of enemies is more important than, for exa it in seconds

But back to the topic …

– Seagull Fakes ill undertake – Tohru said, looking at how the “soldiers” has gradually becooal – base

– Base?

– That one gizmo – the Torah have to continue to pulsate blue “heart”

If the ic works in the same way as the “Ruler”, the vulnerability “soldier” was not in their bodies, not on the matter, and in the Gundo If the mechanism will be able to break down, it will stop immediately “soldiers”

The only question is, how to destroy it “heart”

Even though they were on a large site on all sides was surrounded by a wall Rebounding from a powerful spell could hurt the squad Torah In addition, the preparation of powerful spells require time

So count only accounts for a surgical strike

And no one, except seagulls, did not know exactly where to apply spot-kick when it coical equipment

– I have no idea where he had a weak spot You’ll be able to understand soull?

– Realized – Seagull nodded

– I expect you … my mistress

– M … – she replied … and then added with a se …

– Heh – Toru shtly and nodded, then turned to Akari – Come on

– Yeah … – Akari responded somewhat acidly

Ad” it proved so weak that it could only h their experience

– … And try not inal”, – he added the Torah with a forced smile … and Akari sour nodded

– …I will try to

– Wait, what it means to “Try”?

“I’ll try” means “do not be offended if suddenly will not work”

Or, if you get on the other hand, just the words that she would have said, if expected to hit him

– Are you mad?

– Do not get angry, – Akari said – Just duyus

– …

“I do not understand anything, but currently do not say,” – I was about to answer the Torah …

But at this very moment 50 fakes amicably rushed to the attack

Return here Return here Return here

Torah, Akari, Seagull, Frederica

Odnolikih figures with prodigious speed changed places, like i

– U Gundo

Own clones it is not particularly bothered Seagull well aware that it is real, and all the rest – fake, and therefore not afraid of accidentally hurt themselves spell

The same applies to Frederica

This Frederick reull in the form of an animal

According to the Torah, he did not understand what this girl thinks, rather, feil, and Seagull fully agree with him However, if we assume that it is not an enemy, it is easy to believe that she has decided to protect the Seagull

Therefore, all other Frederica immediately turned out to be fakes, which you can not hesitate to fire at the attacking ic

The problem lay in the Torah and Akari

In general, the “soldiers” were slightly different froinals

This concerned Gulls Frederick Shtly different facial features, slightly rowth or parts of weapons Perhaps this mist operation costs Perhaps the error es But the fact is that there is imitation imitation, fake fake there, and if you put theinals, the difference is not difficult to notice

But as soon as they begin to move, the situation has dramatically complicated

Stop theull easy to determine where the real Torah and Akari are In this coinal differences perforce conspicuous

But now they areinto view only for a moment

And more than that – at least those “soldiers”, which won the Torah and Akari, and turned to mist, thereupon they inificant advantage – the ability to respawn infinitely

Because of this, to make out who is who, it became very difficult

Hinders and what Gundo sight even more narrowed field of vision

– M … um …

Of course, the “fakes” a lot inals

Moreover, Seagull was aiinals, and “antenna” that huge Gundo, which e Simon Scania

The chances of a shot touches the Torah or Akari, small

And, nevertheless, it was a spell to destroy the ull suddenly et off serious injuries, and probably just die on the spot

– Um …

Seagull has cast a spell Even adjust the settings

It reer, but …

– What? You doubt? – Suddenly I heard a voice next to her

There was no need to turn around She said Frederick

Even without being in human form, she went on to say quite flatly, what causes confusion and dissonance It was as if the creature does not use hue on a par with them, but simply learned human habits and looks at them with a bird’s-eye view

– … Uh

Seagull really doubted it

Although she said that the “right”, it turned out that act in a situation where her own actions can seriously injure or kill someone, very hard

Of course, she already has behind him the experience of a serious battle – a battle with Dominica – but this time it has been reduced to the role of the support, and the ) fell on the shoulders of the Torah

But now it’s different Now the Torah and Akari just won her time

The key to victory was in the hands of the Seagulls

– But you are unlikely to accidentally zadenesh and kill theht?

– …Agree

But … but what if touches?

These thoughts gave rise to doubts, postpones the

Although the Torah and Akari said they only “dealers own life,” Chaika is not so stupid as to take these words literally On the contrary, it is most did not want to hurt them just because they talked about themselves

How hard … when you believe in

– And what are you going to watch and not do anything?

Her words did not sound like an accusation

They sounded like the words of a stranger … a surprisingly indifferent to what is happening man

– …

Naturally, Seagull was not going to do nothing

Because then efforts will bethemselves “soldiers” Let their opponents are weak, but arainst them

– How did you wonder – all kept telling Frederick, in spite of the situation – With people

– …

– It’s because you, unlike us, can not be united in “one”, right? Even the ive you access to the consciousness, emotions and memory of another You can never understand each other to the end, and at soe someone or yourself

Perfect true

Then Frederick said:

– You call this judgment “faith”?

– …

Seagull blinked several times

And then…

– That is, – she whispered in the northern language – If they believe in me, and I should

She focused on the iht

And then … he pulled the trigger

On the site there was a high-pitched sound, as if so had shattered

Standing in the heart of a powerfulout of his projections, once cut through at the base

Co like “The Ripper”

Thor has had to see her

Spell with awesome precision flew next to hioing to pounce on him

Do Torah only half a step, dodging attacks or blocking its koht hand

It is a dangerous shot

In the Torah … but what’s there, in the movements of any person has their own characteristics

The same Akari kne to move the Torah She would have immediately realized that an attack of that Frederica he would not stop, and be dodged, stepping aside

But what about the seagulls?

– …

Thor turned in her direction

She fired because surmised his movements?

Or was he just lucky to survive?

– Well … it does not matter – the Torah muttered with a forced smile

The result is still important

Crossing in front of a komboklinki, it took the metallic sound, and hands a little Torah shi+fted under the weight Heavy, sharp, sincere blow, it is not pulling on the “welcome”

– Hey …

– What’s up, brother? – Akari responded as always in a calm voice

– Did not I tell you not to attack the original by mistake?

– I am not in error, – she said confidently – I deliberately attacked his real brother

– That’s even worse! – Exclaimed the Torah, but did not think Akari and clean up his hammer

The outlines of “soldiers” around them quickly blurred in the air, and they broke up, dissipated and disappeared Shot Seagulls destroyed part of er manipulate matter

– I’erous stare

– It’s there for you to be dangerous! – Once said Toru and waved swords, throwing the ha … just briefly turned toward the Gulls

– So you can not too

– Why is that?

– My dear brother can lance

– Yes, I have no such super powers!

In the ed commonplace – even too commonplace for theed dramatically

Initially collapsed stone walls, and behind the over their headsThey all turned to blue round, as if the ashes from the fire

Overview improved

Became visible heavens and the sheer rock walls of the valley

It seems that after the loss of control of the machine could not support the matter even in the mist condition

– Sorry … – dropped Akari

– What a pity?

– I was hoping that at least one false brother left

– Why did you … but, no, I do not want to hear it

– No, let me tell you

– Shut up

– First, I would partition it, and thoroughly washed

– I said, shut up

– Then thoroughly dried

– You do dried huathered?

– Ability to ht, compact, mobile version of my brother would be a landmark moment for me

– You should ask sorily threw the Torah, turning in the direction of a huge ical Gundo

Although it has lost the ability to control matter, the rest of the machine, which served as the basis of the mechanisician must be intact

If this ht

But…

– So he had not prepared …

Thor took a throwing knife and threw it into the car

Little black blade flew in a straight line, the car hit the wall, which is still cru matter, I carved a few sparks flew off to the side

That’s all

There was no reaction Floay throwing knife flipped in the air and stuck in the ground covered with fallen matter

– Stay where you are, – said the rest of the Torah and walked toward the huge Gundo

And here…

– Thor! – I heard a cry of seagulls

There was a grinding of metal … and then all the exterior walls Gundo fell off and fell It seee of climate has broken the delicate balance The steel plates fell on the ground covered with the matter raised in the air of dust

– I’ his eyes off the car, Toru waved his hand, warning his comrades

The dust has settled quickly, and the eyes Torah detachment appeared insides collapsed car

– It…

… Dry corpse

Apparently, the adult e does not define

It corated – it seems that were buried directly in the oOn the neck wound cord, like a seagull, indicating that he was a ician

– What is it?

Thor went up to the corpse and dropped to one knee

Other icians were not there So, this “valley” ran corpse?

– Thor!

Seagull ran to the Torah with the others

– This Scania Si around the body

– … Unknown – Seagull shaking her head with a puzzled look

Well, in this fornize my own

– Hmm– Frederick newly converted man looked over his shoulder and looked at the Torah corpse – A These bracelets I had seen several times

With these words, she pointed to the bracelet on his left hand of a corpse

Upon closer inspection it turned out to be a bracelet Ars Thor reached out and brushed the raved name: “Simon Scania”

It turns out that this is still a corpse Simon Scania

– So, the reested the Torah and tried to touch the cord sticking out of the neck of the corpse, when suddenly …

– Do not touch!!! – A voice

Toru reflexively stood in a fighting stance

The voice belonged to a very nervous man

Of course, this was not the Torah and have ull, Akari or Frederick

But then who could say …

– Can not be…

Squinting, Toru examined the corpse

And then between himself and the lifeless body suddenly a shadow appeared

Blue, Transparent, similar to the illusion

Perhaps the re near Gundo ull destroyed because only that part Gundo that was responsible for the spread of effect Matter, reine, it is still able to respond to the ic

– Do not touch! Do not touch! Do not co his ar around the corpse

In appearance it reseed man

In itself, his face was serious … but if wearing amy mind because of its seriousness, or rather, the inability to make concessions and compromises

– Do not come! Do not come-and! – Shouted an illusion, still roam

It’s not like she was trying anything to do with a group of Torah Moreover, she did not even look in their direction

– This is the guy I remember – Frederick said – He was in the same squad with Dominica

So … this is really Simon Scania

But…

– What does it mean?

– Probably … – quietly dropped Seagull – Death Connection

– Do you think he died while using the spell?

– Uri

ic activation requires the will of the one who uses it … na person

But powerful automated Gundo may own to consuician run theet stuck in them

– Do not cooing to do with me ?! Back!What are you up to ?! Dont touch me!!! Oh, and the reive, do not give it! – She continued to screaht Simon Scania

Although … maybe he himself was insane

– Is he…

Thor looked at the dried-up face of a corpse, where frozen grimace of horror

He had iined about how this man died

Scania Simon did not believe anyone

So he sat down in the deserted valley … where so happened to him

But as Simon Scania, in principle, I did not trust the people, he had no one to ask for help Even in trouble, he could not rely on anyone Most likely, he had convinced himself that all the people around him – the scoundrels, ill surely betray him

As a result, Scania Si for salvation

– Is he…

– Thor …

Chaika pulled out an object, which is found a the machinery

Book … or rather, the azine

Seagull opened it and began flipping Pages were full of detailed diagraical notes

– Still … the truth, – said Gull, frowning

– True? What exactly?

– … Enjoy

With these words, the rest of the ull

Of course, the Torah, as a layraphs and technical explanations … but even he said the word “betrayal” and “boost” here and there in the text

– Hobbies Simon Scania Betrayal The destruction of trust … Watch and enjoy

– Bad taste, as it is, – summed Akari

It seems that Sier and hatred were killing each other, believing that they had been betrayed

Therefore, the only reason this man has developed ht in the es of those he believed to extract them, create puppets and played out scenes betrayal … The whole complex system existed only for this purpose

And spell continued to work even after the creator’s death by feeding within the valley people of their own illusions In the minds of all the peop
