therefore……
Oscar pushed his glasses and leaned over to face Royce. As long as he raised his hand, the hundred black knights in formation would draw their swords and raise them to their chests in unison.
He no longer needed to control them directly with wires. Simply by gesture or verbal command, the Black Knights could perform simple autonomous actions. They were the Golem Knights, created through a blend of transformation and creation magic.
The clamor of the battlefield seemed to be far away. They were staring at each other.
"If you have a way to stop me, then try it. Oscar Orcus. Come and stop me, stop the tide of this world!"
"Of course. I'll prove it to you once again. We are the ones who are suitable to go on with Ross Byrne!"
Although Ross Byrne currently has no way to recover his strength, he is using a self-sacrificing attack. How far can Oscar really stand against him?
Oscar is currently in a state where he has not been sublimated and cannot kill Ross. The conditions are very harsh.
Oscar smiled wryly, thinking, "Do I really need to convince him?" However, he still wore a fearless smile and stepped onto the stage of the death battle with the Black Knights.
He believed more than anyone else that Meredith would win.
Then, the person involved, Meredith, is──
“Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!”
The gravity that she was most familiar with and best at controlling was now causing her great pain.
Free fall was too slow. At that speed, she would be caught in an instant. Therefore, she had to constantly exert a gravity field dozens of times stronger in the direction of flight, maintaining a speed faster than the wind.
However, the enemy—the "Apostle of God" Ahart would not miss such a simple movement trajectory.
She fired a relentless barrage of deadly magic bullets, Silver Feather, capable of disintegrating and piercing everything. These bullets, of course, had the ability to track themselves. They swung upwards and downwards, left and right, attacking Meredith in all directions, along all possible paths.
Of course, she also deployed her two guardian satellites, Absolute Disaster and Heaven of Disaster. However, this alone was no longer enough to completely resist the attack. Ahart's attacks were overwhelming, breaking down Miredi's defenses.
Therefore, Miledi had to constantly brake suddenly, sprint, turn sharply, rotate, and roll, constantly ignoring the law of inertia and carrying out aerial combat maneuvers.
Every time she moved, it put an unimaginable strain on her body. Every second she almost lost consciousness, her internal organs churning, and her body felt like it was about to be torn apart.
This irrational and destructive action should have caused her to self-destruct quickly. The reason she was able to hold on was because—
(If it weren't for Sister Mei'er and Xiao Liu protecting me, I would have died long ago!)
That's it. Because the sublimation magic strengthened her body to the limit, and because her body, which was about to be destroyed, was repaired every second, Meredith was able to escape the Silver Wings of Death until now. However—
"Fall."
“──!!”
She managed to exert her super speed, but was easily overtaken by the monster called "God's Apostle".
The shadow that blocked the sunlight moved closer. She knew that a large sword wrapped in silver light was swinging down at her from behind.
She dodged the attacks while spinning like a top.
The breath of death brushing past her made her hair stand on end—the greatsword did not stop, but changed its trajectory at a sharp angle and slashed directly at Meredi's body.
"Don't underestimate me!"
The sword strike came like a flash of light, but Meredy firmly locked onto the opponent's attack trajectory with her eyes.
──Miletti's special artifact: red-framed glasses.
Thanks to the amplified senses of her red-framed glasses, she was able to catch up. With a whoosh, she swung a piece of cloth, sending it flying through the air.
──Miledi's special defensive artifact, the Sky-Guarding Feather Cloak.
The Heavenly Feather had saved Meredith's life several times during this battle, becoming tattered and tattered. However, this time, it still truly protected Meredith. The Heavenly Feather distributed the impact force to both sides, using the metal threads of "Vajra" to resist the disintegration ability. Although the Heavenly Feather was soon cut off, it only held off for a moment, which was enough.
“—『Collective Black Jade』!”
Meredi compressed the gravity bullet "Great Black Jade" and launched a powerful penetrating attack at extremely close range.
Ahart twisted her body to avoid the blow, just as Meredith had done a moment before. Then, she continued to swing the Second Great Sword diagonally at Meredith.
"Bachuram!"
The one who responded was Slime, Meredith's best butler, who appreciated Meredith's strange address. He shrank and condensed his body, clinging to Meredith's clothes, using his inherent magic to become as hard as steel. He transformed himself into a shield, blocking the blow and dissipating the force. While he couldn't completely defend himself, and a piece of himself was cut off, he did manage to protect Meredith.
Behind the shield that Bartram had transformed into, Meredith saw Ahart spread his silver wings.
Meredy hurriedly retreated to the rear, using the supergravity field to drag herself up. By the time Bartram changed back into his clothes, a barrage of bullets, dense enough to be called a "wall," was already closing in behind her.
So, behind her, she unfolded the new Oscar artifact sent by Bartram.
——Transfer artifact - variable ring blade.
The ring blade first split into four equal parts, then expanded to a size large enough for one person to enter. A film of light coated the inner side of the metal wire connection—forming a "portal."
Meredi rushed back in and then emerged from the other pair of ring blades, looking behind Ahart.
“—[Black Vortex: Sky Strike]!”
He used the gravity magic "Black Vortex" to compress the highest-level fire magic "Sky" and cast a bombardment magic specialized in penetration.
A blue flash sniped from behind Ahart.
"it's useless."
Ahart turned around and unleashed a single-handed artillery attack. The silver decomposition bombardment, launched with zero delay, pierced through the combined artillery magic that Meredi had used with all his might.
“Ugh!!”
Meredi dodged the attack by dropping down. However, the enemy's bombardment transformed into a gigantic silver sword and swung down.
Meredy activated her chakram once more, instantly moving high into the air to avoid the attack. With a cold sweat dripping from her face, she looked down at the silvery greatsword that shone like divine retribution, watching as the chakram was devoured and destroyed by the greatsword.
Of the ten to twenty ring blades scattered across the sky battlefield, five had already been destroyed, as if Meredi's lifelines were being cut one by one.
“H-huh… Seriously, you were already as terrifying as a nightmare, but now you’ve become even stronger… This is hilarious.”
Smile, smile. Swallow the pain, anxiety, and fear, and laugh. Meredith told herself this while forcing a full smile, just as that person had taught her. Besides—
"But I don't think I'll lose at all. Isn't it time for you to get serious? Ah, haven't you already shown your true abilities? Sorry! While your strength has indeed increased, it seems that you rely too much on your abilities. It doesn't seem that it's that great."
Put on that annoying smile you learned from that person.
Yes, that person. My benefactor and my beloved sister—Bertha Liebl.
“The Lord is very pleased.”
Ahart's voice suddenly rang out. Meredith, still smiling, tilted her head with a puzzled expression.
"The Lord stated that eliminating the previous oracle maiden produced interesting results."
Meredy's smile faded.
"The Lord loves humanity. Humanity can be fearful, mad, rebellious, lost, distressed, hopeful—and then despairing. There is no being more lovable than humanity."
That's enough. Shut up. I can't stand it any longer. Even after Meredith said that, Ahart didn't stop.
"I am God's apostle. I carry out God's will in the world. Therefore, Meredith Lessen, the former oracle, has found hope. Despair for the Lord. Your despair will be the Lord's greatest amusement."
Even though Meredith forced herself to smile, her expression was still twisted by anger. Berta wasn't killed for something like this, she didn't survive, travel, or risk her life to make me a "human"!
Meredith wanted to scream, but the words remained. The unimaginable sight before her left her speechless.
"To achieve even greater despair, I will, as you wish, use my true abilities."
The world was shaken—she even had this illusion. A staggering pressure erupted, a pressure that made even the pressure of a waterfall seem rather charming.
A silver light surrounded Ahart, and the surrounding space seemed to distort. A power from an entirely different dimension surged like a flooded river. It was as if Rolls's "Limit Break" or Lutilis's sublimation magic, "Forbidden Zone Release," had been activated.
"Dance, pawns on the chessboard (Milledy Lessen)."
The sound came from the side. Ahat's figure in front of her swung and vanished. The blurry afterimage gradually overlapped with Ahat's image to the side. Meredith couldn't see the flash of her sword.
“Ahgu!”
It was a miracle she wasn't cut in two. Her inner alarm bells had rattled, and instinct had forced her to move slightly, so only her right hand was severed. Even so, an unusual amount of blood foam still flew into the air. The excruciating pain made it almost impossible for her to maintain consciousness.
However, now was not the time to faint from the pain. She allowed Keon to regenerate her right hand while rapidly ascending to distance herself from him.
"First, let's peel that monster off of you."
However, Meredith was unable to distance herself. Perhaps driven by demonic instinct, Bartram quickly transformed himself into steel, enveloping Meredith's body. In an instant, dozens of slashing blows descended, sending Bartram's body shattering and scattering.
"Bachuram!?"
Turning, swerving, turning left and right. Meredith performed acrobatic maneuvers at a speed so intense it would make her vomit blood, but—still unable to escape Ahart! Ahart's overwhelming speed caused her figure to appear in double and triple afterimages. The trajectory of the slashing blows was like a flash of light to Meredith's eyes, completely unable to react. Thus, Bartram, who risked his life to defend Meredith, was slashed away by Ahart's astonishing momentum, one sword after another.
"That's enough, Bachuram! Go back to Ben!"
Bartram's response contained a refusal. He was, as the name suggests, prepared to sacrifice his life.
"The core... is right there."
Meredi's hair stood on end. Ahart's eyes were fixed on the right side of Meredi's abdomen. Bartram's core was hidden there.
"Don't even think about succeeding—"Bad Tribulation"!!"
In a moment of desperation, Meredith cast a wide-area supergravity field around herself, hoping to knock Ahate down. But Ahate didn't fall. Her decomposition magic and flying power overcame Meredith's gravity magic.
Of course, she swung her sword down mercilessly.
“Ah!”
Meredith let out a piercing scream. As she twisted her body to protect Bartram, she was struck hard in the side. The impact sent Meredith flying, and Bartram's core flew out with it.
Bartram quickly transformed into a flying dragon, but was immediately hit by the disintegration shell. The dragon's body was shot through the center, and Bartram could no longer maintain the "mimicry" and turned back into a slime, falling to the ground along with the remaining wreckage.
"The next thing we need to deal with is that divine weapon."
Of course, she wouldn't let anyone else rescue Meredith. Even if someone else tried to use the chakrams' portal to teleport, Ahart would have severed them before they could. Furthermore, her silver feathers crisscrossed the sky, instantly enveloping and disintegrating all the chakrams.
At the same time, two large swords attacked from both sides of Meredi.
"hateful!!"
Meredi summoned a hundred metal balls from the "treasure house" and used gravity magic to compress the metal balls tightly to create a temporary defense wall.
The massive mass bullet, compressed to its limit, proved difficult to cut through. The makeshift barrier successfully blocked the two greatswords. However, the two swords had already penetrated and began to disintegrate the barrier, causing Meredith to shudder.
Meredi immediately switched gravity's direction in two directions simultaneously. Metal balls shot wildly at Ahart, while Meredi herself flew directly upward, plunging into a particularly large cloud. By blocking Ahart's view and combining this with the random barrage of metal balls, she should be able to buy a little time. Meredi half-praised for a successful delay, half-focused on her next ultimate move.
"Just trying to be clever."
With a loud bang, Ahat blew away the entire cloud and flew to her side to engage in hand-to-hand combat. A pair of silver-shining swords slashed straight down from above, like chopping bamboo.
Meredy quickly raised her "Sky Guardian Feather Robe" and prepared to land. But—
"Alas!"
She groaned in pain. The Heavenly Feathered Garment had finally been slashed. With nothing to block it, the blade naturally struck Meredith's body. Fortunately, the attack's trajectory deflected slightly, saving her from being shattered into three pieces. But she still sustained a deep, V-shaped wound.
Even as blood gushed from her body, Meredith desperately tried to fly. In the next instant, the Eternal Power regenerated her body, but the pain brought tears to her eyes, causing her to miss a silver feather.
The last artifact that enhanced Meredith's perception, the "red-framed glasses," were deflected. If it weren't for the fact that these artifacts were made of a stronger material than ordinary glasses, which deflected the silver feather, she would have lost an eye by now.
The silver feather that brushed past Meredith's temple caused half of her face to be smeared with blood, leaving her with a miserable appearance.
Although this wound can be instantly regenerated by "Eternal", but...
As promised, Ahart followed her plan and destroyed all the demons and artifacts guarding Meredith.
"Ugh—"Meteor Black Jade"!"
Unable to stop it. She cut through all 100 gravity bullets.
Strong. Too strong. Too unreasonably strong.
Even so, I couldn't lose. I didn't want to lose.
With only this thought in mind, Meredith began to fly, dodging the Grim Reaper's scythe. Unable to evade the attack, she was wounded. The wound regenerated, and she launched a small counterattack, only to be easily defeated again...
How long did this period of time pass?
Meredith had completely lost her sense of time and didn't even know where she was flying in the air or where the sky and the ground were.
Breathing was painful. I couldn't breathe properly. My whole body was in excruciating pain, and my vision was blood red. My magic power kept decreasing, as if it was a countdown...
very scary……
All the negative emotions came flooding back.
(This... is too unreasonable...)
Meredith's expression softened. She thought to herself, as a child, her own "Lassen" would have told her in a cold, lifeless voice that this was foolishness and that resisting would "definitely" lead to this fate.
Just give up, it will be much easier...
