This is not the date I wanted.

"Raphael (Hurricane Knight) - The Binder!"

[The wild wolves were killed! ]

In less than a breath of time, before the terrifying wolves could even howl, they were all killed by the hodgepodge of attacks unleashed by the elves and AST aces in front of them, turning into particles of light and returning to the air.

Because the battle was so brutal, Shidao couldn't bear to watch it and covered his eyes with his hands.

In fact, this is not the first time this situation has occurred.

……

[Wild Goblins have appeared! ]

——Behead!

[A wild giant bear appears! ]

——Behead!

[A wild ancient dragon appeared! ]

——Behead!

[Wild Demon King...]

"Sorry I'm really in a hurry."

——Behead!

……

To be honest, judging from the original setting alone, this game is ready for its finale.

"It's just a massacre without any pressure at all."

Shidou said with a bitter smile.

Come to think of it, the slime they met at the beginning seemed to have the ability to dissolve clothes... but it was immediately destroyed by Kotori who was at full power. Shidou felt some unspeakable regret in his heart.

“So, I have always felt that there can’t be anything higher than elves in the food chain of this world.”

Following Shidou, Mengyue shrugged her shoulders to show that she was not surprised.

"In fact, this game was originally supposed to let everyone choose a career that suits them, and then start from level one to fight monsters and level up..."

Maria sighed helplessly. It wasn't a problem with the game. It was just that the group of girls in front of him were, from the very beginning, a broken existence that was called a "natural disaster" in the real world.

At this time, Tohka and the others have already put on the spiritual clothes and angels of their heyday. It's not that Shidao's seal has been lifted, but Maria has used her remaining authority to recreate the concept of spiritual power and angels in this world.

"But if that's the case, why is Meng Yue the only one who remains the same?"

Shidou looked at Mengyue with some confusion. Unlike Tohka and the others who had already unfolded their full spiritual outfits, Mengyue was still in her usual casual clothes.

"It may be because in the real world, Meng Yue has already summoned the angel and the spiritual outfit. So the subconscious understanding prevents Meng Yue from showing the second set of spiritual outfit and angel."

Then Ju Ya paused for a moment, and suddenly shook his head, "No... maybe Fraxinus' computer is simply unable to simulate the functions of the Dream Moon Angel."

It's not that other angels are inferior to the Dawn Sage. The most obvious calculation ability of the Dawn Sage is originally higher than the main computer of the airship.

"Do not worry."

Meng Yue patted her chest and said confidently.

[A wild ancient dragon appeared! ]

Suddenly, a medieval carnivorous dinosaur, whose size was comparable to that of a large crane, appeared. Meng Yue smiled and took out a game token from his pocket.

"Railgun!"

As the words fell, huge wind pressure burst out and spread out with Mengyue as the center. The orange-yellow light directly penetrated the heart of the dragon. The huge body collapsed to the ground, forcing a huge vibration.

"Although only a part of it, the ability of the Dawn Sage can still work directly on me. Although I can't manifest my spiritual outfit, I can now be said to be the complete version of Misaka Mikoto."

"..."

Although he didn't understand the meaning of Mengyue's last sentence, Shidao suddenly felt some sympathy for Juna.

Next, with the powerful strength of Tohka and others who could kill gods and Buddhas, all the ferocious monsters and beasts that appeared along the way were easily defeated.

"But... Miss Junai, why did you deliberately change the world to this?"

Holding a flintlock pistol and shooting a flying bird to death, Kuang San asked with some confusion.

Although these beasts are very dangerous to ordinary people, they are no match for Tohka and others who have catastrophic-level military power. As for the more dangerous traps placed on the road, they pose no threat to Origami, who has rich field combat experience, and Mengyue, who has strong observation and detection abilities.

It's a joke to think that you can defeat this team with these things.

"I'm afraid this is just a delay." Ju Ya speculated, "This map is the only offensive map in the current settings. Ju Nai must have chosen this map temporarily to delay our progress and buy time to prepare some means to ensure victory. After all, now that the computer world is isolated by Meng Yue's Dawn Sage, Ju Nai must defeat Meng Yue."

"What Mariya said makes sense." Kotori nodded in agreement and said, "Then we must get there before Maruna's trump card is completed. Everyone, hurry up."

"Yeah! Darling Honey~ Let's quickly take that lovely girl home and enjoy her~"

Meijiu walked to the front of the team, her eyes sparkling, and urged everyone excitedly.

Shido & Mengyue: ""...""

Soon, Shidao and others arrived at the gate of a dark castle called Demon Castle.

Although the demon king seemed to have been defeated halfway.

"According to our investigation, the room in the center of this castle overlaps with the location of the 'mother core'. It seems that Junai is in this castle."

Ju Ya confirmed and said.

"So, how do we get in here?"

Shidou looked at the locked heavy door in front of him with embarrassment. It seemed that a special key was required to open it, but Shidou didn't see anything like a key along the way.

"Shidou, let me do it."

"Tohka?"

Tohka exhaled slowly, raised the Aosha Gongping in her hand to her body, and slashed it fiercely, splitting the heavy iron door and the chain in half.

Shidao: “…”

Is this considered a foul? With a subtle sense of guilt in his heart, Shidao pushed open the iron door at the bottom and entered the castle.

Inside was a dark and spacious space, like an emperor's reception hall, with wall lamps decorated by skilled craftsmen in a row and terrifying demon stone statues placed in two rows.

"Oh oh oh——!"

Yejushi's eyes lit up and he let out an excited cry.

"Everyone, look at this!! This demon stone statue with a goat's head looks like it is possessed by the soul of Azazel (one of the seven devils of hell in Judaism). It is so vivid and evil..."

Although Yakushi's voice might alarm the enemy, Meng Yue could understand Yakushi's mood at the moment. After all, this dark and weird decoration style was very much in line with Yakushi's taste.

"I can't help it. Yakushi tends to forget himself when he sees something he likes."

Having said that, Yui was very happy to see Yakushiya who was in a state of ecstasy.

"It's so quiet..."

"It's like a haunted house..."

Riding on Shionai who had turned into an ice puppet, Shionai said with some uneasiness.

Unlike the outside world where monsters would jump out of the bushes every three steps, this wide and gloomy space was filled with a suffocating silence.

Walking forward along the blood-colored carpet, Meng Yue soon saw a girl with long black hair and wearing a black nun's uniform sitting on a huge throne high up in front of her, waiting quietly.

It's like a demon king waiting for the arrival of the hero.

"How about Yin Yang Meng Yue? This is the stage for the game I prepared."

"Well, it's okay. I'll give you a detailed evaluation next time when I have a chance to play the game in accordance with the rules. Next time I will point out the bugs carefully, so remember to fix them."

"No, I'm not the designer of this map."

Shidou noticed that Maruna and Mengyue, who were on opposite sides, were talking to each other easily and naturally, as if they were friends who had known each other for a long time.

After all, in this computer world, Junai and Mengyue have actually known each other for half a year. (After four days in the common line, the time spent in the personal line is not stated, but from confession to confirmation of relationship to development to the ending, I think it must have taken at least half a month.)

"Juna, stop it. No one will be happy even if you do this."

"To show kindness to the enemy at this time, you are truly worthy of Gokawa Shido."

Hearing Shidou's words, Junai chuckled and slowly shook her head.

"No, that's not right. It does exist. I know that there are people who will stick to their ideals even if it means destroying the world. So, I won't just sit there and give up."

"That's true..."

Meng Yue sighed helplessly. If Junai could give up so easily, Meng Yue would never let things develop to this point.

"So, just disappear... along with my naive fantasy."

"Kuku——You are unexpectedly stupid, the spirit named Junai. Do you think you can be the enemy of all mine alone?"

Yakuya felt good about himself and smiled disdainfully.

"Warning. Yakuya, that's a line for defeat. And Yakuya's smile just now sounded like a villain's. Should I say that he has no talent for reading the atmosphere at all?"

Xixian complained helplessly.

"Wow--but, if we think about it in a normal way, isn't the current situation completely favorable to us?"

"Stop setting weird flags for us. Junai's expression right now doesn't look like he thinks he will lose."

Mengyue hit Yejushi on the head with a knife, and Yejushi held his head and let out a whine of grievance.

"Hehe, you are indeed the Liang Yi Meng Yue, you are very clear. However, it is true as the berserk said, if you wish, I will be destroyed right now."

"If you really want to use that kind of shortcut, I wouldn't have accompanied you here on purpose." Meng Yue looked directly into Junai's eyes and declared firmly, "I will defeat you as my 'enemy' and bring my 'family' back!"

Mengyue's answer didn't seem to be beyond Junai's expectations, and a smile appeared on the girl's face.

"Really... As expected, Mengyue, you came up with such an answer."

In the dim hall, no one knew when Junai turned into two.

[Wild Maruna appears! ]

"Then, let me struggle as an 'enemy' to my heart's content!"

Suddenly, there was another Junai.

[Wild Maruna appears! ]

"Angels, spiritual equipment... Facing you who have brought spiritual power back to this world, I must of course take the time to prepare accordingly."

[Wild Maruna appears! ]

[Wild Maruna appears! ]

[Wild Maruna appears! ]

【Wild Maruna appears! 】×N

"..."

Although she knew it had nothing to do with Yakuya, when she saw the army of Maruna that had formed a sea of ​​people in front of her, Meng Yue really wanted to seal Yakuya's mouth with needle and thread.

17 Crushing

==============================

"Damn... have they been dispersed?"

Looking at everyone who had disappeared without a trace, Meng Yue gritted her teeth in self-blame.

Facing the thousands of clones suddenly summoned by Jun Nai, everyone, including himself, was stunned for a while because of shock. Taking advantage of this gap, Jun Nai's clones rushed forward, and with the fierce flow of people like a river, they dispersed everyone.

Now, everyone is scattered in different places of data management layer.

"But... this is what Fraxinus' main computer really looks like without all the decorations."

Meng Yue looked around at the scenery and couldn't help but sigh.

This place is no longer the dark and cold Demon King's Castle, but a collection of countless binary strings. There is no concept of direction and distance, as if it is an endless ocean of data.

Although it looked completely different, it felt very similar to the space called "Criticality" where Meng Yue had stayed before she came to the present world. However, the difference was that Meng Yue's movements were not restricted.

boom--!
