"You are the Queen!"
Pah! Ahh, thank you for the reward!
Her Majesty the Queen of the Republic was enjoying herself being whipped and having her back trodden on, and she looked like someone who had endured years of hardship and suffering and was finally liberated.
...Her Majesty the Queen was 'liberated' long ago.
Mei'er finally had tears in her eyes and displayed an even rarer expression as she begged for help from Meredith.
Meredith took a deep breath, as if accepting the shock of this, and closed her eyes... Then her expression changed. With her left hand on her waist and her right index finger pressed against her cheek, she blinked with a bright smile.
"You two are a perfect match♡"
Xiaomi was still as annoying as ever, and Mei'er's eyes were dead.
"Miss Meredith, you actually acknowledged my feelings for Onee-sama... How kind. Miss Meredith, please call me Ryu as well. Don't worry, I'll explain to everyone that we're both Age of God Magicians, and this is proof of our mutual trust."
"Got it. I'll call you Xiao Liu then! Please give me your guidance from now on! You can also call me Mi Mi!"
"Xiao Liu... This is the first time someone calls me that... I'm so happy... Mimi."
Huh? Lutilis looks a little strange...
Meredith didn't have a sadistic temperament. On the contrary, she was very friendly, but Lutilis was also very happy.
"This is Xiaonai."
"Hello, hello, I'm—"
"You must be Mr. Konai, right?"
"The names are starting to contradict each other."
"I can actually call a guy by a nickname... This is also my first time... I finally have a 'BOY FRIEND', hehe."
"This guy also doesn't listen to others..."
Oh no, this queen's stern demeanor is purely superficial. Deep down, she's a bit of a pervert and ignorant of the ways of the world... It's a shame her subjects haven't discovered her yet... No, I should ask why most magicians in the Age of Gods have personality problems...
Natsu held his head in worry, but he was still too naive.
──Rustle, rustle, rustle, rustle!
──Beep beep beep beep!
Ouch? I seem to have heard this horrible sound before...
"Onee-sama, Mimi, and Kona-san, now it's my turn to introduce my friends to you."
"Uh, wait a minute, Xiaoliu, um, I think I heard a strange sound..."
"Oh, ouch? Onee-san, I have goosebumps. I already had them when Ryu touched me, but now it feels even worse."
“This… could it be…!?”
The only one who had a clear memory was Niez, who seemed to have guessed it. Niez's face turned pale and he suddenly looked at the Pasha.
The Vizier Pasha wore a look of relief. After all, the secret she had been unable to share with anyone in her country was finally revealed, and now that she had been accepted, she felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders. Incidentally, she seemed to be saying, since she had accepted Lutilis, she should accept her completely.
"Besides sublimation magic, I also have a vocation."
Even though she was being stepped on by Mei, Lutilis had a smug look on her face.
"No, so, Xiaoliu, now is not the time to talk about that kind of thing—"
"I can make an exception and tell you all this because we are friends!"
"I just have a bad feeling. I don't want to hear it."
"Onee-sama, please don't be so polite! My vocation is a 'Bug Mind Reader'—I have unparalleled observation and understanding of insects, and they easily attract me. It's a very rare vocation. If I combine it with sublimation magic... hehe, I have a million friends."
The ominous sound grew closer, and the lid of her memory threatened to open. Meredith desperately pressed down the shaking lid in her mind. But Meredith instinctively knew that what lay within was a vision of hell. She was already losing her composure and could only stand there trembling.
"Because I'm special..."
Among humans, no one could interact with her as an equal, and she had no idea how to make friends. When they talked, their expressions froze for some reason. The sorrowful Queen, smiling, recounted her heartbreaking past.
So that's how it is. It seems this Queen has been 'friendless' since childhood, and Lutilis's only solace has always been her inhuman 'friends'.
Yes, that is...
"Let me introduce him to you all! He's my first and most proud friend! No, my best friend!"
Lutilis crawled out from under Mei's feet and stood up, her arms spread out.
At that moment, there was a loud bang, and black mist gushed out! In addition, perhaps climbing up the trunk of the tree, those terrifying black creatures appeared like an avalanche.
In a flash, the treetops were engulfed by a black whirlwind and waves. Lutilis smiled beautifully and extended her hand to Mel and Meredith.
At this moment, a black creature flew over and landed on her hand.
"This is the supreme perceiver who rules the Deep Forest, the supremely noble Dark Sage King—Ouroboros, the Swaying Darkness! Please, with affection, call him Little Wo."
I saw Xiao Wo raise his antennae, as if to say, "Hello everyone! Please give me your guidance!" Although no matter how you look at it, it is still a cockroach.
When the sea of trees was misunderstood and about to be attacked, it was probably, perhaps, very likely, it that intervened...
Although there are many things I want to say, such as...
What's with that exaggerated nickname?
Or, no matter how you think about it, that wasn't the name it gave it, but one you gave it.
Or, your only best friend is a mantis. Do you think that's a good thing?
And what Bart said, "No matter where you are in the forest, you'll know." So that's what happened. So, you were the one who sent the swarm of cockroaches back then.
But, in conclusion…
“Ah…”
"Miledy~~! Mel~~!!"
After regaining their memories, Miley and Mel leave reality behind.
Natsu tried his best to ignore his surroundings and desperately took care of the two... Or maybe he was thinking, "Don't leave me alone in this terrible reality!" Natsu slapped the two back and forth, trying to wake them up, but deep down, he couldn't help but think -
'Appearance deception', 'naive', 'masochistic pervert', 'no friends', 'only bugs as friends', 'extremely childish naming taste'...this regrettable queen has too many attributes.
"Um~ Belle, I can't go to your side yet."
"Tigne! Ahhh, my healer!"
"How long are you two going to keep running away from reality? Oscar, Bandu! I've reached my limit! Come on, hurry up~~!"
Surrounded by millions of his friends, Natsu roared loudly.
Seeing his reaction, Lutilis and Xiaowo tilted their heads in confusion, while Prime Minister Pasha sighed.
Prequel 4 Chapter 3: Shared Destiny
Above the White Battlefield Plain, the mist thinned under the influence of white flames and violent winds. Countless clashes broke out between the two immense forces.
One is the sky.
The other is dark night.
“Aa ...
“Drink aaaaaaaaaa!”
A loud rumbling sound echoed through the atmosphere, and a massive black vortex sphere—"Black Jade"—flew out, and a shock wave that shook the space met the Black Jade head-on.
The moment the two forces collided, the air blew apart like a ball, and the elite troops of the White Light Knights, deployed around them, stumbled in the air. Furthermore, the elite Holy Dragon troops directly under the leader of the Beast Light Knights, also deployed, struggled to maintain their balance.
"Well, while she must have absorbed the power of the Son of God, I didn't expect it to be this powerful."
Mulu cursed, riding on Holy Dragon King Aedra. Even if Aedra tried to fire Aurora, the target girl, Meredi, soared like an eagle, and her agility would disrupt her, making it difficult to aim. If she fired carelessly, she'd likely hit the surrounding friendly forces.
Even though I was shooting with the guaranteed-hit Holy Bow, no matter how many arrows I fired...
"I'm in the way!"
When the arrow was about to hit, the two black spheres that always expanded around Meredith would deflect the arrow in another direction or swallow it up and shatter it. Then, as if in return...
“—‘Scarlet Spear: Thousand Wheels’!!”
An astonishing number of fire spears were fired like a sudden downpour. It was thought that this was a bluffing tactic to win by sheer numbers, but each shot contained terrifying heat energy. Once hit, even the knights of the Three Lights would be in danger.
Being able to cast such magic instantly while fighting against the church's strongest man, Ross Byrne, is terrifying.
Having said that, it would be wrong to say that the encirclement and assists of the two knight groups, "Beast Light" and "White Light", were meaningless.
“Oooooohh ...
「!?」
Rouse didn't miss the split second Meredith left open, leaping through the air. His powerful strides gave the illusion of an atmospheric explosion, and in an instant, he was in front of Meredith, swinging his massive holy hammer.
“Guuuu!? Aaaaaaaaa!”
The extraordinary destructive force struck his right arm and flank, causing Meredith to let out a cry of pain.
Even with Oscar's special defensive artifact for Miledi to dissipate the impact and deploy a magic barrier in time, the impact could not be completely eliminated, and Miledi's consciousness was almost shaken away.
A cracking sound was heard, and Meredith flew horizontally like a cannonball. The white light knights waiting in front pounced on her, wanting to cut her in half before she could dodge.
"Don't let them succeed, provide covering fire!"
Countless arrows flew from behind the fog, accompanied by a barrage of wind bombardments. This was aided by the Aerial Warriors, including Neilk, who were hiding in the surrounding fog. The assist worked, and the White Light Knights' movements instantly ceased.
During that time, Meredi flipped in the air, and the Holy Dragon Force's Aurora Breath Storm chased after her.
“—『Bad Tribulation』!!”
Meredi used a range-based supergravity field to shoot down all the pursuers. At that moment, a shadow passed overhead, and Meredi's eyes widened in surprise. In an instant, Rouse circled behind them and gave chase.
“—‘Giant Black Jade’!!”
"Die! Holy Hammer!"
Miledi turned around and fired a gravity bullet. The moment he raised the gravity bullet like a shield, the powerful destructive force came down on his head.
The air exploded again, and the spherical shockwave blew both sides away, along with the mist gun. Due to the overwhelming force, Milady and Rouse, who had used their moves, were sent flying like marbles.
Meredy manipulated gravity, while Royce broke several footholds in the air before finally stopping. They both gasped and stared at each other.
"Huff, still as difficult as ever..."
"Huhu, you too."
At the same time, light fell on both of them, white light on Laus and morning glow-colored light on Meredith.
The light that descended upon Rouse was the combined power of Murru and Adra's supreme restoration magic, combined with the superior magic of a hundred holy dragons. The light that descended upon Meredy was, needless to say, Mel's regeneration magic.
"I've already reached 'Sublimation', so why are you still so strong? Didn't you use your full strength back in Andica?"
"I tried my best, but I simply wasn't strong enough. I've been training, that's all. When you reach your limit, you just have to overcome it."
"How reckless are you? You've become incredibly strong in just a few months."
Meredith stuck out her tongue, her expression showing disgust, but then her face immediately turned into an indescribable seriousness.
"But it's more than that, isn't it? While it's true that basic strength has improved, that almost foul-like increase in ability, since it's being restricted by Age of Gods magic, that's a significant side effect, isn't it?"
A move that can surpass human limits multiple times cannot be used without risk.
Meredith received Lutilis's sublimation magic to enhance her strength. The reason why Ross was able to fight her on equal terms was certainly due to the extraordinary training he underwent after his defeat in the West Sea, but the main reason must be that he was truly fighting with his life sacrificed.
"So what if there are side effects? I can't let you run amok. If I'm the only one who can stand up to you, then I'll fight with all my might. As long as I survive, I'll push myself past my limits, no matter how many times."
With a bang, dark night magic erupted from Ross's body. The magic that soared through the sky and penetrated the earth was indeed the radiance of Ross's soul. The radiance of his life, the life he sacrificed for the faith he had protected until now, regardless of his own life.
"……Fool."
For Meredith, such brilliance made her feel sad...
So she glared and emitted the light of the sky.
Then, when the two giant stars were about to collide—
"Ross, retreat! The Federation Army has collapsed! Lilith and the others will be surrounded at this rate!"
Perhaps he had received news from the Holy Beast Corps assisting the Knights on the ground, so Mulu continued to listen and shouted loudly with a bitter expression on his face.
“…Understood.”
The dark night light ceased, and his gaze met that of Meredi, who had also retracted her celestial light. But that was only for a moment. Rouse gave the order to the Knights of White Light and turned away.
