Chapter 1134 – Union Atlasia~♪

000

Immediately after sending Cleon and Fleur to the escape stone prepared by Oldburn, that is, Atlasia’s cockpit.

Oldburn and Kshat, who remained there, had to deal with Tiamat’s descendants who attacked them once again, right after a very short rest.

No, to be exact, Tiamat’s descendants and…

“Say what you say, friend. “Where did the magic swordsman go?”

Saying so, Laplace plunges a sharp blade into the neck of Oldburn, who has suffered a serious injury.

He was there, having descended directly on the humanoid beast with both arms shaped like blades.

The reason he couldn’t touch Cleon and Old Burn while they were fighting was because among the equipment Old Burn brought, there was an item that interfered with Laplace’s brain waves.

However, thanks to the equipment and other tools being broken during the battle with Cleon, Laplace noticed that he was no longer disturbed.

Nevertheless, Cleon was not there when he arrived, so he desperately tried to subdue Old Burn, who knew his whereabouts.

As a result, Kshat alone could not stop the large army of descendants, so it was natural for Laplace, who came directly in front of Oldburn, to have the old man kneel.

“Haha… I know that, Laplace. That young man is quite a talkative friend.”

“… So you let your granddaughter go with that man? Have you been fooled by the sweet talk?”

As Laplace said that, he probably tried to move the blade that was pointed at the old man’s neck a little more.

＂Oh my God…!＂

Kshat, who was busy dealing with other demon beasts, saw the scene and tried to break through the siege somehow, but due to her fighting style, the restrictions on movement that occurred due to being outnumbered were unavoidable.

Laplace must have sighed a little when he saw Kshat, one of his creations, rebelling against him and trying to save Oldburn.

And, she was asking a question to the person who was her friend as if she couldn’t understand.

“If we are going to overthrow Adam, I think we should cooperate, not oppose. But you interrupted me a little while ago, as well as when I was killed for the second time by that magic swordsman.”

“Ah, I guess so. If it’s a reasonable judgment, you’re right.”

At Laplace’s words, Old Burn nodded his head.

His somewhat relaxed attitude did not at all look like a person with a blade pressed to his throat.

“Then the judgment is ‘not reasonable.'”

“Ah. But for me, this is the reason that is more important than anything else. There is no place for you in the new world I was trying to create. … No, more accurately, it is the place between you and me.”

At Oldburn’s words, Laplace shook his head as if he didn’t understand.

“Human beings like you and me? Are you talking about intellectuals?”

Haha!! You arrogant Laplace! You have already thrown away your human form and become an intelligent ‘human’!”

Oldburn laughed once, as if that choice of words was funny.

“What I’m talking about are people like you and me who are proud – no, take it for granted – that we have achieved everything through the sacrifices of others. So, to put it a little more simply and intuitively, he is a ‘bad guy’ like a flea that clings to the world and eats away at it.”

What kind of expression did Laplace make when he heard those words?

Because he had the body of a demonic beast, Old Burn could not read his facial expressions as he did not move like a human.

Nevertheless, I could at least recognize that he was reacting as if he was wondering what it was.

“It is natural for those who have knowledge to stand above those who do not have knowledge. It is the order of nature that those who get ahead have more than those who lag behind. There is no distinction between good and evil.”

“I have no intention of discussing that topic with you. Because you and I have very different values. But… You know, I’m fine with it as long as my granddaughter is safe. And the world for my granddaughter and your world could not coexist. … So I let you die. That’s it.”

“Hmm… I guess a healthy ‘conversation’ is impossible.”

The conversation between the two old men stopped there for a moment.

Laplace closed his mouth as if to organize his thoughts, and then he once again asked Old Burn the question he had originally intended.

“I’ll ask you again. Where did the magic swordsman Cleon go?”

Of course, if the same question was asked, it was natural that the answer would be the same.

No, the correct answer would be ‘don’t answer’.

As Oldburn remained silent, Laplace’s patience seemed to have run out.

Finally, he raised his arms a little higher.

“It’s a courtesy to someone who was once a comrade. I’ll send you away, so you won’t feel any pain. I hope you, who have reincarnated, are free from everything that binds you.”

The moment when the arm was about to be lowered towards Oldburn, with a declaration that did not know whether it was mercy or insult.

Bang!

With the sound, Tiamat’s entire body shook greatly as they entered.

It would feel like being in a building during an earthquake, and everyone there would stumble and almost fall.

＂Kuh…!?＂

＇Did you come…!＇

Laplace is embarrassed and Oldburn’s eyes shine.

The shock just now was probably caused by the fact that Cleon and Fleur returned riding a huge weapon that they had excavated and restored.

Even as an Old Burn, it’s not like I wasn’t prepared to get my head cut off during the conversation just a moment ago, but there’s nothing better than being alive.

Besides, if he doesn’t survive, he won’t be able to keep his promise to Fleur.

Old Burn didn’t miss the opportunity and put his hand into his pocket.

＂Kshat, clean the floor!!＂

＂!＂

At the Old Burn’s command, Kshat fell to the ground as if he had become accustomed to it.

It was a movement he was so familiar with that he moved like that without even realizing it.

Immediately after that.

‘It’ that Oldburn threw into the air exploded with a ‘keying’ sound.

Then, the shadows created by lying down on the ground were covered by the shadows of others.

What created the shadow was intense light extending in all directions.

＂Ugh…! Is it a flashbang?”

Old Burn had shown something similar to Laplace before, but he didn’t think much of it.

And, the body of a demonic beast, which has far superior senses compared to humans, would have had no choice but to accept all the stimulation extremely sensitively.

Meanwhile, Oldburn rolled across the floor surprisingly quickly with the body of an old man, increasing the distance between him and him.

＂Elder, are you okay?＂

“Okay. The wound on my neck is no big deal.”

Oldburn said that and tried to get up.

But then.

Crack!

＂Elderly!?＂

＂Ahaha, my waist!＂

As expected, it would have been a bit difficult without the assistance of the suit.

The old man’s body was screaming, knowingly or unknowingly.

Old Burn’s body naturally leans forward, and his legs don’t move properly.

And thanks to that, when the last chance to escape was lost, Laplace solved the problem by destroying his own eyes and regenerating them, and stood before them again.

＂Did you think I would let you run away, Descartes?＂

And, the moment when I was about to send all the demons towards him again.

Laplace’s body flinches and stops.

And after a while, his bladed arm slowly lowered, and his whole body began to tremble.

＂…?＂

Both Kshat and Oldburn will look at that scene with amazement.

Due to the external characteristics of that magical beast, it was not possible to read its facial expressions, etc.

Nevertheless, he was embarrassed and nervous…

And- pain?

I could tell that he was feeling those things.

＂Phew… How did it happen… Why is it inside again…!＂

When he let out an incomprehensible sound, Oldburn and Kshat looked at each other for a moment.

Could it be that this reaction, the vibration from earlier, was a signal that Cleon and Fleur had returned?

And after a while.

Gururung…

And when you hear a sound that resonates throughout your body.

＂Keuuk!!＂

Laplace leaves a scream and falls away from the beast he was controlling.

He must have gone to move Tiamat’s entire body.

In any case, the fact that Laplace is not here in person is a significant advantage.

While the monsters pause for a moment in response to Laplace’s condition, let’s get out of this place.

Thinking like that, it was the moment when Kshat tried to move from his seat, almost carrying Oldburn on his back.

Once again, Tiamat’s body began to vibrate.

While making a ‘kugugu’ sound.

It wasn’t something else that caused it, but I was able to understand the cause as the floor starting to slope.

Immediately, Tiamat began to move her large body.

＂Pfft!＂

If that happens, Kshat will not be able to balance properly and will slowly fall backwards.

At the same time, the demon beasts in that position were unable to stand properly and fell backwards, starting to fall down the slope.

“It looks like the young man and Fleur have arrived this time!”

＂I’m looking forward to that…! And the elderly!”

At Kshat’s call, Oldburn looked at her.

“You have to hold on tight!”

＂What- Uot!＂

Kshat must have decided that with his remaining stamina, it would be impossible to hang from the wall while carrying Oldburn.

I chose to just slip and fall.

The two people were falling at high speed, sliding down the dark interior like a slide.

001

Laplace was perplexed.

It was because of the feeling of a foreign body inside me.

I felt it earlier when I swallowed everyone who showed up at the scene by surprise, so I succeeded in expelling them out of the body quickly.

For some reason, he came back inside while he was dealing with Old Burn.

And not through the mouth, but from the middle part of the body.

Could it be that they came in directly through a hole?

In any case, what Laplace was feeling was nervousness.

The reason is none other than-

＂Ugh… Why…!＂

Abdominal pain.

In other words, it was because my stomach hurt.

You get enteritis from eating spoiled food, or your body can’t accept eating fatty food as you get older.

There are many reasons why my stomach hurts, but I was confused by the strong sensation of a foreign body in my stomach, as if I had swallowed a ball.

What on earth got into me?

He thought he would have to spit it out anyway, but that was the moment when he opened his mouth wide and tried to move the inside of his body.

Detection of magical power.

When the thorns on Tiamat’s back move and follow the flow of magic power.

A magical door that tears apart space appeared.

Coo!

With a loud vibration, Laplace saw the huge machine appear before his eyes.

It had gloves made of pure white metal, and it was an object that did not exist among the machines Descartes showed him that he owned.

In other words, it would be better to say that it was a secret weapon that he secretly had.

He walked on two legs, and the blue cloak fluttering from his back gave off an intimidating feeling, like a ‘white knight’ from myths and legends.

However, at the same time, Laplace senses a foreign magical power in the white knight’s machine.

That is, the familiar energy of dark magic flowing both on the surface and inside that knight.

This is because it was the same type of dark magic that naturally occurred from the magic swordsman Cleon’s beloved sword ‘Galatea’.

There was no other magical power that reflected the user’s desires as much as black magic, so there was no doubt that this was Galatea’s magical power.

In other words, inside that machine-

＂K… Kkkk… Are you back, Cleon…!”

Laplace spoke in Tia Mat’s body and raised his voice.

And at the same time, on the contrary, the white knight’s machine-

To be precise, Cleon, who was riding the ‘Hero Atlasia’, must have frowned when he saw the huge monster that filled his screen.

As seen just before being devoured, the form of the monster named ‘Tiamat’ is similar to a ‘catfish’ or ‘anglerfish’.

However, just because the mouth was huge, it did not mean that there were no other organs, and the ‘eyes and nose’ were properly attached to the top of the mouth.

In any case, it just looks small compared to the mouth.

Moreover, even though it was half buried in the ground, it had four proper legs.

There are a number of threatening thorns growing on their backs, and if they are pricked by them, even the armor of the Atlasia they are riding may be pierced.

Tiamat’s skin was covered with fur, and each strand of fur was similar in thickness to a human body.

As expected, Cleon, who confirmed that it was a gigantic beast of a different dimension, would sigh softly, ‘Whew’.

＂Alright, I came back somehow…!＂

Saying so, Cleon held both of his hands.

Atra’s irritating singing voice was still ringing in my ears, but just as Galatea had said, the machine’s body seemed to move as Cleon thought.

“Let’s go, Fleur…!”

＂Yes!＂

[Fight for tomorrow and for everyone-♪ Union Atlasia~♪]

＂…＂

[Leave her alone…]
