462 458. Someday, the monster will reach 100 layers. The girl has never forgotten you..txt (2/2)

It's Kanami who's calming down. Where have you been looking earlier?　Really, you can't see your eyes anymore ......, can you?

But the 'penetrating eye' saw through all the mending.

”The eyes can see ......, they can see. What the hell are you talking about earlier, Maria?

The epidermis may look normal, but it's not normal at all. It's a good idea to have a good time with your friends. --That's the Zero Guardian, Kanami-san.

Solemnly, one-sidedly, the story is told.

Then, as if concerned for my blindness, Maria stepped forward, speaking aloud.

'Here, in this tenth layer of Mr. Arti, before you, Maria stands...' --and someday (...) is coming.

A bright red flame gushed out at Maria's first step.

The stone floor on which I walked melted into a sludge.

The second and third steps were the same.

The second and third steps are the same. The marks of the walk have turned into molten rock (magma).

You could tell by looking at it that it was hot.

But the floor of the labyrinth was not made to melt at a mere high temperature.

When I confirmed the anomaly, the flames at Maria's feet grew even stronger, surpassing all the light sources in this room. My shadow, which had been extending in all directions, gathered in one place and stretched far backwards.

'Reapers, please protect that side. Not Noi-san, but that new girl over there. Kanami's new victim is a protection case.

I turn my face back slightly, and there's a brown girl Reaper from my shadow, leaning against the cleaner.

And Noi's, whose name was now counted, completely missed the time to escape in my mind. --he was trembling. Like the current reaper, I guess I want to get out too. But I can't take that first step because Maria has firmly captured it as ”Noi-san”.

Noi has been watching the various battles from a thousand years ago.

So I know.

--If we leave now, we'll be burned to charcoal in an instant.

The firepower that could frighten even the ”Lord of the World” was present in ”The One Who Steals the Theory of Fire”.

That's why Arti was a Ten Guardian.

The reason why he left out all the other logic-stealers and made maximum use of the circulation function of the stars to reduce their power. Does Maria understand this correctly?

I can see you, Maria, I can see and hear you. He can also hear me. That's why I want you to listen to what I have to say. Arti's full attention is really dangerous. Didn't you carve an entire continent out of Palinkron just a year ago, just for peace?　The power of 'The One Who Steals the Reason of Fire' is not a power that the now-grown Maria can use with all her might. It's not going to be an ice age thing.

I said quickly.

However, seeing me still trying to avoid the 'ordeal', Maria shows a surprised look on her face.

''Is it Arti-san's full strength ......?　Now I said a hundred and ten layers: ....... The power of 'affinity' is to go beyond a hundred (alone). If you're calculating me now as much as Arti-san in his prime, Kanami-san, that's a bit--

I was also a little disappointed.

It was as if she was taking pity on me, who was blind.

''If I become the 'Lord of the World', I will help 'Rastiara' in place of Kanami-san. I will firmly inherit both your sister and Tiara-san. Please don't worry about that. -- 'I promise'.

In a gentle voice, Maria said 'promise', not 'contract'.

Somehow it was easy to read that this was the only truth.

Now, Maria is thinking this--.

I'm warmer than I thought I'd be. The nosiness is weak. The flow is slow.

If I win, then that's the time.

Will I be the new master of the world? It's just the way it is.

-- With about as light a touch, I take the fourth and fifth steps and try to start the 'Hundred and Tenth Trial'.

The heat source that will melt even the ground of the labyrinth is approaching, but more importantly, you're going to help 'Rustyala' instead?

I was unconsciously constructing an icy spell, wondering if I could make it work.

''-- 《Freeze》''

The Flame.

Without pause, Maria responded.

Two rudimentary magic clashes.

A moment.

The field of ten layers was bisected like a knife between me and Maria.

Cold air and hot air.

The two conflicting attributes rubbed against each other to expand their territory.

A hot wind arises and steam fills the air - no. They didn't cancel each other out, and my ”Freeze” had been defeated and swallowed up one way or another, and the cold air had disappeared without a trace.

In contrast, Maria's flame is not attenuated at all.

The unextinguished flame (・・・・・) dissolved further without losing its momentum.

Following the 《Freeze》, even the ground.

The slabs of stone caught between the ten and eleven layers melted sloppily, like chocolate melting.

--Ugly.

Maria had used a flame worthy of the 110th layer, as declared.

But this is 10 layers.

The durability of the labyrinth envisioned by the progenitor Kanami a thousand years ago was probably up to ten times that of the guardian (Guardian) Arti.

That's why the 10 layers of ground couldn't withstand Maria's heat, melting and falling out.

I lost my footing and I was struck by a floating sensation.

Immediately, I try to find a way out of the situation with my 'future vision', but it's still hot.

The sensation of dimensional magic I tried to spread was interrupted, burning as if I had touched a hot iron.

Quickly, he stretched out about twenty of the 'Purple Threads' from the sleeve of his robe.

It's not very complete, but any one of them. Just one second is all it takes.

If I connect them together, the reason for this Maria's extraordinary strength will be revealed.

She can read through the thoughts, actions, objectives, and principles, and can move through analysis, countermeasures, planning, and execution with instantaneous 'fast thinking'.

However, if there is a problem, the heat emanating from Maria, who calls herself the 110th layer, greatly exceeds the vibration of the 80th layer of Seldora - and when I felt uneasy, I saw Maria's figure falling at the same height.

Their gazes met.

In the same levitation, Maria was holding one hand forward as she released her magic forward.

As if out of habit, I take the exact same stance.

”'Okore cutting flame'--

”Tell 'em to break the ice...

The nostalgic 'chanting' echoes.

”'Swallow the stars...'

”'Swallow the stars...'

The flame spell, Midgard's Blaze.

The freezing spell, Midgard's Freeze.

The magic of the serpent.

Both of them had magic power that could be built in a size that could make a star go around.

However, two of the best serpents that could condense and swim through this space.

In the crumbling and melting labyrinth, an ice snake and a fire snake were generated and floated.

The magic of the two conflicting attributes faced each other, swimming and biting each other in the air at the same time.

The magic collided again, causing even more shock and heat to rush through the air than before.

So, not only ten layers, but eleven layers as well.

That ground can't withstand the heat, it melts and exits.

Further down, me and Maria fall down the labyrinth.

The fall was the signal for the beginning of The Hundred and Tenth Trial.
