Chapter 103 – Excommunication

000

The place where the rail, which had been transferred to a woman with the appearance of a demon who suddenly appeared and called herself a comrade, staggered and raised her body was the tower of Aion, and Vitos’s warehouse, which could be said to be the treasure house of the academy located underground. .

The exact coordinates of the transfer were not specified, so the rail that fell freely in the air of a huge warehouse rolled on the ground with a pathetic look, feeling bruises and fractures all over its body.

The pain from the burns on the front of her body and the feeling that her body was burned from the inside, swallowing the screams rising up to her throat along with saliva, she stood up and looked around.

As for why the woman had sent her here, her rails her immediately realized why.

There were already traces of a fierce – no, maybe one-sided battle left in the surroundings.

The guards guarding the inside of Vitos’ warehouse were lying around as dead bodies, unable to fulfill their duties.

There was only one wound on the body, but a penetrating wound through the heart or head.

The traces of the dark magic left in the wound made it easy to imagine who the culprit was.

Red-haired witch. Skilled enough to block the magic swordsman Cleon’s sword.

Of course, since Cleon himself did n’t have his own magic sword, it was difficult to think that his original skills were equal to his.

Vitos’s warehouse is a dangerous place where dangerous goods are piled up more than necessary, so the guards guarding it are also equipped with skills suitable for the location.

In terms of time, she must first come here to slaughter her guards and then come to rescue herself.

There was no sign of exhaustion from her, no sense of her hurt her.

I don’t know what kind of trick he used, but Rail couldn’t help but feel a strange fear that such a demon existed in the world they lived in.

Could she be acquainted with her own master, her sword her, and her engagement her?

But it was also true that she was saved by her.
If she had stayed there, she herself would have been killed by Quon.

Leading her tattered body her, guided by a feeling that calls her to herself, the rail slowly walks through her warehouse her.

All the objects seen around them are a feast of powerful and dangerous objects.

A red jewel that is said to be able to summon indescribable incarnations of chaos from another dimension.

A stone key that is said to open any ‘locked thing’ just by using it.

However, there are only a handful of things that can be utilized with the knowledge and skills of modern people.

And among those mysterious objects, the one that stands at the top is Enkidu the Goddess.

This steel golem, which was unquestionably the most valuable item inside Vitos’ warehouse and played a major role in uncovering the technology and history of the ancients.

It is an object recovered by the academy that was used like a totem with its function suspended in a certain area and was worshiped as a ‘god’.

Based on the records inside the storage device of this golem, it is not an exaggeration to say that modern people’s understanding of ancient technology has advanced 100 years in an instant.

However, it was judged that it would be impossible to regenerate this golem and make it function again no matter what.

It was now standing in Vitos’ warehouse, standing here like another watchman in the warehouse.

However, Enkidu in front of him was incomplete.

One arm had fallen off the shoulder of her, and from there the entire complex inner frame could be seen.

Rail holds the arm replaced by its own machine.

“…”

With Demiurge’s mental manipulation, others wouldn’t feel anything out of place about this one-armed, one-armed golem.

The prosthetic hand that Rail is now wearing is Enkidu’s arm his.

[Rail… Did it fail in the end…]

And curses and hateful voices from within Enkidu.

Rather than passing through a physical eardrum, the voice that resonates directly in the mind strikes the owner’s pain directly into Rail’s head.

Rail grabs his head and twists his body his, but the unseen entity inside Enkidu continues the story as if it does n’t care.

[I gave Enkidu’s arm and consumed my alter ego to increase time, but it still failed… I think I overestimated your usefulness…]

“Listen, Master. She was that woman, Quon, our archenemy. She will become a puppet of the will of the stars, and she will hinder us.”

At Rail’s excuse, the master of Enkidu’s inner voice. In other words, the original soul of ‘Black Battle’, the teacher of Rail, does not move the body he dwells in, but uses the pressure of magic to press down on Rail.

[Incompetent bastard… If you use all of Enkidu’s power, angels are no match… Because of your fear, I almost ruined all my plans and lost a precious factor.]

Reil bit his lip at the words of black battle.

The power that dwells in Enkidu’s arm is the power of pollution in another dimension at the extreme point of divine magic.

However, the more you use the power, the more Rail’s body will be eroded by Enkidu’s contamination and will turn into a monster that seems to exist in an indescribable second dimension.

Rail was afraid of that and suppressed the power of his prosthetic arm his, so he was attacked by Quon who had become an angel.

[Anyway, ‘Aruru Tromeia’ doesn’t remember you. The girl you know is as good as the one you killed. That’s exactly what you wanted You, who decided to dedicate everything, are you saying to show your true self to whom?]

A teacher who reprimands a foolish, incompetent, and despairing disciple without releasing the magic pressure.

[Now the plan must be drastically changed. It can be said that the complete descent of Demiurge is now impossible.]

“Still, she has her chance her. Take her her Beatrix, kill her—”

[It’s impossible for you. Now I won’t expect anything from you.]

The teacher’s voice was like a death sentence for Rail. For Rail, who knows what happens to things he no longer needs, he can easily predict what will happen next.

“For a moment…!”

In the next instant, a wire made of an alloy of steel and magic stone stretched from Enkidu’s severed shoulder and wrapped around the rail’s wounded and immobilized body.

[The results of a long period of work cannot collapse like this. The completion of the tragedy of ending the false world with the hands of humans living in this world will be accomplished in a different way.]

The wires pierce Rail’s skin, erode his nerves and steal his consciousness.

His body his, which cannot even let out a scream of pain, is forcibly lifted up by the will of Enkidu and his teacher his.

When the front part of Enkidu was opened, there was a space where a human could be put in between the gaps of numerous mechanical devices.

This was not a ‘golem’or an ‘automata’, but rather an armor of a mechanical device used to house a human inside, and Rail received another lesson in his disappearing consciousness of his.

“The above is the whole story of the series of events currently taking place at the academy.”

The same building where Vitos’s warehouse is located. In other words, at the top of the tower of Aion, Iona and Lyla gathered the chiefs and talked about everything that had happened.

Black Engagement, Demiurge, Manipulation of Mind.

Most of the chiefs frowned at the absurd stories that could not easily be believed in either one, but in the case of the black battle, the chief of the `Political Department’ and the chief of the `Sacred Science Department’ each reacted to Demiurge .

“The black engagement… Is not the story of the predecessor’s scare.”

The head of the political department put his hand on his chin, closed his eyes for a moment, and seemed to be organizing his thoughts.

“The predecessor? I didn’t know that the Department of Political Science and Black War had something to do with it… “

“It’s not a story worth bragging about. In the early days of the academy, the Department of Political Science weighed whether to join the two organizations, the Senate Council and the Black War. Black combat with advanced technology. Afterwards, the Department of Political Science, who learned that they were more dangerous than they imagined, was told that they had sealed them somewhere in concert with the Council of Elders.”

After answering Lila’s question, he shrugs her shoulders and continues.

“Politics is the force that moves people. Groups change greatly depending on who and how that power acts. That’s why I thought it was just an allegory meaning that we have to see through the right and wrong and choose the one to join hands.. .”

“Perhaps it really happened.”

The head of the Politics Department nodded and this time turned to the Divinity Department.

“The Demiurge is what the previous gnome wife feared saying ‘just knowing about it’ is taboo. Do you know something?”

“No. Demiurge itself is the last thing I’ve heard before. However, according to Lady Layla’s explanation, it was caught that it was related to the existence of the ‘great devil’… About a week ago, I had a revelation and a vision. Academy Something in the shape of a gigantic demon appeared in the center of the phantasm, splitting the earth and burning the sky…”

At that, the other seniors also couldn’t stop their chatter.

As the head of the Department of Divinity, she did not belong to the Order of the Holy Spirit’s Protection, so she was a clergyman who did not officially hold any position.

Judging from the abilities and holy magic she possesses, no one here doubted that she was more than a high-ranking cleric.

If she saw her revelations of her, even those who were not religious would automatically believe in what she saw and her visions of her.

“Why didn’t you tell us about it?”

When the head of the magic tool department talked about it, she shook her head with a slightly darkened face.

“Revelation and illusion are warnings. They are not prophecies. The biggest problem we are facing right now is the ‘Execution Division’, and we thought that if we caught them, this revelation would also disappear.”

“… You don’t have to adjust her needless insecurities her. She should n’t blame her too much.”

The head of the political department shelters her, and her others her are silent.

They all had dark faces.

“…Lyla Flamewatch. I believe what you say. Actually, I don’t think there’s any evidence at all.”

“…It’s unexpected. You’re on my side.”

When the head of the political department talks about it, Layla replies as if she is a little surprised.

Senior is Hung. And answered with a snort.

“You can’t do politics if you can’t figure out whether people are lying or not. Even if you’re delusional, I know you’re telling the truth. Besides, the visions and visions she saw can’t be what you said. If you are talking about the coming of the great devil… Even if it is a reason to move, you have to move. That is what a human standing above should do.

“I believe Miss Layla, too. I think I can see why the Revelation hasn’t weakened as the threat with the Enforcement Department has faded.”

When the students of the Department of Divinity, following the Department of Political Science, spoke, no one expressed any new dissatisfaction.

“…It seems necessary to tell the story to the teachers as well. Their policy is to leave it to the students when it comes to school issues, but if things get this far, they will have no choice but to act.”

“Where is Mrs. Gnome from and what? Even if I don’t usually call her, she’s someone who somehow finds out… “

Lila asked that question, but she seemed to have no answer for her.

The next moment, the door to the meeting room opened and one of the guards at Vitos’s warehouse burst in.

“Hey, hey! Vitos’ warehouse was attacked by someone! I tried to change the guards, but there was no sign of anyone from the inside… When I went in, the guards and the gnome wife…!”

A commotion quickly spread throughout the meeting room.

Among them, it was Lila who spoke with the utmost composure.

“What’s missing? If Vitos’ warehouse was attacked, there must be missing items.”

“That, well… I don’t know much about the stuff inside… Just that that big black golem-like thing was missing…”

“…Enkidu…”

At Iona’s words her, which widened her eyes, Laila nodded her head.

“Any traces?”

“I don’t know, should I say that it disappeared completely, there is no trace of movement… “

At the words of the guard who answered the political science chief’s question, Iona shook her head and talked.

“It must have opened a dimensional rift and traveled through it. It won’t leave any physical traces. Layla, I think you should go with me and use magic poetry to find traces.”

“Yes. Then-“

Acknowledging Iona’s words, Lila rises from her seat her, and the other chiefs follow suit.

“Going to the warehouse… Me, Iona, and you. Three like this. For the rest, evacuate the students or contact the teachers.”

Layla pointed to the head of the Divinity Department.

“We have to hurry. If Enkidu starts moving in earnest… Something out of control will happen.”

“…Iona, do you know something?”

“A little bit. I’ll explain as we go.

With a staggered stride, Aruru Tromeia was making her way, not knowing where she was headed either.

It was yesterday that her voice her stronger calling out to her with the pounding of her heart her grew.

I tried to endure it for about a day, just thinking that there are days like this…

After she couldn’t sleep, screaming in pain from the loneliness that was growing little by little.

She didn’t even go to class to find the source of her voice her calling her.

What comes to her mind is Leona’s words her two days ago when she asked herself something about her story her.

She always dreamed of the sword, but this time the location of the sword had changed.

What used to be in the black space was now being reproduced little by little in someone’s room, with nothing but the handle remaining.

“Students, please be prepared to evacuate in case of an unexpected situation.”

On the street, for some reason, I could see the instructors and the students in the second and second seats doing things like evacuation drills for the students.

Aruru, whose mind was in a completely different place, had no time to worry about such things.

I just wanted to calm the pounding in her heart that seemed about to explode as soon as possible.

And when she came to her senses her, at some point, she found herself stepping into the mansion of her school her.

She realizes that a wave of thought powerful enough to giddy her mind her is directed at her in a particular building.

The place where she finally stopped her feet while holding her head her, which became more and more painful, was a place that even Aruru herself knew.

The mansion of Lyla Flamewatch, head of the Department of Magic.

It was not a personal acquaintance.

Although she is a member of the same 3 university departments as herself, she is a high-status person who is the chief among them.

`Uh…?`

But there, Aruru realizes something like a sense of incongruity in her.

When, where, and how did she find out that this was Layla’s mansion?

Her unstoppable tinnitus her, and her distrust of her own memory her.

Eventually, just before she stumbled and fell on the spot, she had a hand grabbing her body.

When she lifts her head with difficulty and looks at her opponent her, there is.

A dark-haired young man was looking at him with a surprised face.
