My mother's love song

"That...what is that? Is it the guard dog of hell?"

It is an evil beast with three heads and six evil eyes.

The abyss monster that has never been observed for thousands of years but was named the "King of the Tomb of the Soul" by the Magic Association revealed its huge scarlet body in the darkness.

The scarlet gaze was filled with murderous intent as it stared straight at Rhodes and the others flying towards it.

How can it be! ?

Hasn't Coronzon gained rationality and transformed into a human form?!

Rhodes suddenly felt his throat dry.

If it is Coronzon, then what are the girls I met?

He felt a great sadness, the sadness of gaining and then losing.

If Coronzon loses his mind, will I be so sad?

"Tsk."

Rhodes curled his lips and regained his composure.

"No... the magic power is so low."

Rhodes stared at the huge monster and made the correct judgment: "It's just a fake, not a real beast."

"Fake? Huh?"

But to Luvia and Lanis, Rhodes's words sounded like he was declaring that he knew the "real deal".

Rhodes nodded: The real [King of the Abyss] has become the three sisters of Coronzon, and what appeared before him was just an illusion created by them.

"You deliberately let me see this kind of thing. Your bad taste and sadism are beyond imagination..."

If Coronzon created this thing to disturb Rhodes' state of mind, then they obviously succeeded.

This can be considered as the cycle of cause and effect, retribution for the mistakes one has made.

Having said that, Rhode did not give up his plan to strike hard and teach those three fakes a lesson.

"It doesn't seem like it intends to let us pass easily." Lanis smacked her lips.

"Ahh, it looks like that."

Rhode held the girl's hand behind him and said in a deep voice, "Luvia, the control of the spaceship is in your hands. I'll go kill this guy."

"Hey! Huh? How do I operate this? I don't have a helicopter pilot license...!!!"

Rhodes stood up from the Sky Boat, standing in the howling wind, facing the false King of the Spirit Tomb.

It's been a long time since we've seen an aerial battle... It reminds me of the days when I played with Albion.

……

……

……

"Regular contact. Rod, have you arrived at the fairyland?"

"I'm in the middle of a battle here! If you have anything to say, talk to me later!"

When Scathach's words came again, Rhodes just raised his hand to attack the three-headed, six-eyed monster.

Dozens of large and gorgeous magic circles suddenly appeared around Tianzhou Ma Anna, projecting countless star-like light bullets from them.

The magic bullet with tracking ability was shot straight at the huge body of the false beast, but it was dodged by the monster that nimbly made zigzag jumps on the cliff.

Rumble, rumble...

The continuous explosions created light pollution that illuminated the entire abyss for hundreds of meters above and below.

"It's obviously running automatically, but it's so flexible? Isn't it better than if I were to control it myself? Tsk... Is this the wild intuition that comes from living in the dark for thousands of years?"

Rhodes stood on the shaky sky boat, confronting the fake scarlet beast.

My vision kept shaking, and I couldn't aim properly at this rate.

Having said that, Rhodes couldn't leave the Sky Boat and fly over to kill the enemy. He had to stay here to protect the two of them in case of an emergency where the car was destroyed and people were killed.

"Luvia, please operate the Sky Boat more smoothly."

"Even if you say so... something that can't be done just can't be done!"

Tianzhou Ma Anna was running around in the narrow passage like a headless fly, and the end of the golden bow rubbed against the cliff wall several times.

If Ishtar saw her beloved car being destroyed like this, she would probably shed tears of blood on the spot.

There is no other way, we can only resolve it quickly before the car accident.

Rhodes once again deployed the magic circle and cast a dozen magic bullets, but the beast still dodged the light bullets with their own tail-chasing function with its flexible movement.

"Hmm? It should be possible to hit the target within this range."

Rhodes clearly saw several of the light bullets hit the beast's body.

He held his chin and thought for a moment.

"I see."

Because it's an illusion, is it harder to hit than a real entity?

In other words, this guy's intention from the beginning was not to defeat me, but to delay me?

"In that case... eh!"

Suddenly, Ma Anna stopped abruptly and Rhodes' feet left the Tianzhou.

At the critical moment when he was about to be thrown out, Rhodes grabbed the ankle of the female driver Luvia.

"ah!"

The girl screamed.

“S-Sorry! A wall suddenly appeared in front of me, so I…”

Luvia's apology was heard from above.

Rhode raised his head, but his head was covered by the long skirt of Luvia's high-end dress, and his eyes went dark.

"Luvia! Calm down and don't move!"

"But! This is too difficult to operate!"

It turned out to be a wrong choice to hand over the spaceship to her.

Also, the stockings are really slippery when you hold them.

At this point, Rhodes was about to release Luvia's ankle and start flying.

“Ahhhhh it’s coming!”

The screams rang out again.

Rhodes lifted up Luvia's skirt and regained his vision, then he saw the three-headed monster rushing towards Ma Anna aggressively.

"Trimmau, please!"

Lanis yelled.

"Understood! Moon Spirit Marrow Fluid, attack!"

The next moment, the mercury maid on the sky boat jumped up and rushed towards the scarlet beast.

In order to support the mercury maid, Lanis mobilized the magic circuits in her body, letting the magic power flow through her body, and her eyes also turned red.

"Go! Show that guy how powerful you are!"

Following the girl's declaration, the mercury maid refracted the brilliance of moonlight and transformed into a fierce blade.

At the same time, a scarlet three-headed, six-eyed beast was also flying through the void.

Although it was just a created illusion, the extreme horror it contained far exceeded any fantasy species they encountered along the way.

The mercury puppet and the crimson beast collided in the darkness, emitting a demonic light.

"Can we win!?" Luvia shouted nervously.

"■■■■■■……"

In the darkness, a horrible gnawing sound was heard.

The miracle did not happen. The difference between magic from the Age of Gods and modern magic is as great as heaven and earth.

Even if it is just a phantom monster created, it is powerful enough that modern magicians can never surpass it.

The highest ceremonial attire of the famous El-Melloi family of the Moon Spirit Marrow Clock Tower was easily torn in half by the phantom of the beast.

"Rod!"

Lanis called out the boy's name without any hesitation.

At the same time, the mercury maid who was being bitten by three heads suddenly changed her form.

Her body stretched out infinitely, becoming a huge membrane that wrapped the beast.

She was very clear from the beginning that the supreme ceremonial outfit that she was so proud of was no match for this beast.

Her goal was not to attack head-on, but to slow down the monster.

Trimmau, transformed into a slime, wrapped around the beast's limbs, holding it firmly in place.

At the same time, Rhodes released the [Red Moon's Demonic Eye].

Time and space became stagnant, and everything in the universe became hazy and translucent at this moment. Rhodes also saw the true core of the phantom monster.

boom.

The light bullet shot out from Rhodes' palm accurately shattered the beast's spirit core.

The body of the scarlet beast turned to ashes, and Trimmawu fell to the bottom of the abyss along with it.

Fortunately, the chain thrown by Rhodes tied up Mercury who had turned back into human form.

"call……"

Having temporarily overcome the crisis, Rhode breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at the mercury maid hanging below.

"Well done, Trimmawu."

The mercury maid raised her head, slowly raised her right hand expressionlessly, and gave the boy the thumbs-up gesture that Arnold Schwarzenegger made at the end of the movie.

Rhodes smiled bitterly: "You are T-1000, not T-800, right?"

“…Mmmmm.”

At this time, Luvia on the Sky Boat groaned in pain: "Ouch... Lord Rhodes... My legs can't hold on any longer, they're going to break! They're definitely going to break!"

Rhodes then remembered that he was holding Golden Drill's ankle.

"Oh, sorry, I'll go now..."

“It’s too late aaaaaaaaa…!”

Luvia slipped off the sky boat.

The Tianzhou and the four people who had lost control fell straight down.

Luvia: "Aa ...

Lanis: "Aa ...

Trimumawu: "Aaaaaaaaaa (stick reading)."

"Well, there's nothing I can do."

As Rhodes swung his arm, a gust of wind blew up.

In this narrow cave with only two directions, "up" and "down", a whirlwind blew in from all directions.

This wind was not as fierce as the strong wind when falling, which reminded me of the urban legend that "the wind when the car is driving at 60 kilometers is like a girl's breasts."

An extremely gentle whirlwind enveloped the four people's bodies.

"what?"

The four people who were originally falling rapidly, slowed down like drifting snowflakes under Rhodes' wind magic.
