Chapter 315 – Misalignment
000
Several explosions rang out from above the Thunder Wilderness, which had been devastated by the ensuing battle.
What fell away with the explosion was the body of a female warrior of flames that exploded once more.
From her waist her, her lower body her, with her upper part neatly smashed, flew tens of meters and landed on the ground.
She doubted that the law of fighting without thinking about her defense was really effective.
However, it was clear that the damage was accumulating.
The sight of Edin fighting like a berserker while holding Mjolnir after falling off the giant was so gruesome that it was hard to put into words.
Even if her body her was shattered, she would quickly regenerate, and her arms, legs, and parts of her beard and hair would be scorched from the attacks of her moose, which continued to pounce.
Her even one of her thighs was bone visible inside of her flesh that had been cut off.
However, the reason why he can continue to fight is because Mjolnir’s power his is forcing his life his to last.
Muscles and bones that should have been unable to move are forced to move like machines.
If left alone, Moose and Edin would almost certainly turn the whole area into a mess, so Amelia and the others were trying to help Moose and stop Edin’s rampage.
However, having consumed most of their strength in the fight against the giant, they couldn’t use all their skills in the battle with Edin, who showed no signs of ending, and their legs shook every time they blocked Edin’s attack.
“Something is strange… If we defeated that big machine earlier, wouldn’t we have won…?”
When Gray’s weary voice is heard, Peruluca also nods her head, her disgusted face her with her shoulders drooping.
“And… Am I mistaken…? Somehow, it seems like the opponent is getting stronger as the battle goes on…”
At Peru Luca’s words her, Amelia looked back at Cassius, wiping the sweat from her brow as if it was not her illusion that she was vaguely feeling.
There, even Cassius, who had taken it easy no matter what happened until now, had a slightly serious expression on his face.
‘Originally, the recovered Mr. Cleon should have intervened and finished him off while we were wasting time. But with him gone, events are unfolding in a slightly different direction than the future I foresaw.’
If you’re looking for the cause, it’s probably the current situation that doesn’t go back to the plan you prepared.
The disappearance of Cleon, who should have been inside the Golem’s small area of Peruluca, was unexpected even for Cassius.
I didn’t say that, so as not to upset others.
If there is an expected culprit, it is the goddess of the world of death.
If she was able to open a wide-area portal for transfer, she could open the cow territory of Lucca in Peru without being noticed by others, and take Cleon inside it.
‘Mr. Cleon… What kind of fate is he leading, why is the case so complicatedly twisted?’
Inwardly, sticking out his tongue at the power of fate he could not fully fathom, Cassius looked down at the egg of Anansi in his hand.
Although it was a wedge, the magic power contained in that egg was not infinite.
He had used most of it in the fight against the titan, but he felt that the magical power he felt inside was slowly depleting.
He is able to assist others now because he has this egg.
Once the power of the wedge is exhausted, the party’s power will be greatly reduced.
Besides- What stands out is Edin’s current state.
As Peruluca said, as the battle continued without ending stronger Edin, I could feel his magical power growing slowly.
Lightning appears every time you move, and a situation where thunder strikes.
Even if his whole body was charred, he continued to move forward, as if he was trying to escape from the mold of being a living being.
If it continues like this—everyone could be in danger in front of that destroying tank that won’t stop.
Originally, I had to retrieve Mjolnir here and prepare for what happened next, but…
Is it necessary to step back and reorganize everyone’s stamina?
“Jenzaaaaang!”
At that moment, angry shouts were heard from afar.
When a huge pillar of fire rises that seems to reach the sky, everyone’s eyes instantly turn towards it.
I could see the figure of a moose regenerating its tattered body, burning the flames even more ferociously than before.
At first glance, the impact is strong enough to look like her villain, but Amelia is relieved that she is now their ally her.
However, Cassius’ expression was still dark.
‘It’s a reliable combat power… But if the battle goes on longer than this, I can’t let her burn all her flames her here.’
There were already more variables than planned.
Without Cleon, it was pointless to continue the battle unless he could produce a blow that would surely end him.
However, rather than Cassius’ rationality, his instincts continued to send his reason an uneasy premonition like a warning sound.
Right now, if we don’t put an end to Edin right here and now, things will get out of hand.
If so, there is only one person in this group who can give the answer.
“Aleista! What is happening to him now?”
When Cassius raised his voice, Peru Luca, who had a surprised expression on his face his, called his teacher his who was quietly watching the situation inside him.
“[I wasn’t going to answer unless you asked… But, after all, he’s a swindler, but he has the judgment and observation skills to call himself a sage. If that’s the case, ask me to teach you-] Stop talking nonsense and let me know!”
Alley Star mocked Cassius with a sly laugh, but she immediately trembled at Peru Luca’s threat to her, saying ‘Keuugh…’And then spoke with a trembling expression.
“[Simply explained, as the battle beyond the limit continues, ‘sublimation of the previous life’ is about to occur in response to Mjolnir’s magical power.]”
“…Sublimation from a previous life?”
When Cassius questioned the words he heard for the first time, Aleista continued his explanation with a dissatisfied face.
“[How did they live until now without knowing that? The title of wise man is rotating away.] Master!
The next moment, when the flames of the moose galloping past Cassius pass by, the battle between the two cannot die again.
Whether the fight should be stopped or left as it was depended on Aleista’s answer his.
“[You must be aware of the consciousness of your previous life. It is a taboo to change your own race.]”
“…Of course. In the history of mankind, none of those who acted for that purpose met a fine ending.”
Those who enjoyed wealth and glory, those who dreamed of revenge, and those who wanted power.
From the time they were born, they pioneered various destinies that were set for them, but in the end, they realize a state that they cannot reach as long as they are confined to the framework of the human race.
That’s why he even decides to get out of that frame in order to reach the ideal he dreamed of while drinking a lot of hardships.
In order to transcend humans, it is a secret and forbidden technique to become a different race. That is the consciousness of the previous life.
Of course, most of them fail.
Rituals from previous lives usually require a lot of mana, vitality, or materials.
It was not uncommon for others to sacrifice themselves in the process.
As a result, before the ritual of the previous life was completed, or the plan was stopped before it even started, the dream disappeared like bubbles.
“[Reincarnation sublimation] Refers to transcending the limits of a species without special consciousness and becoming a different species. There may be various factors, but it seems that his body is gradually becoming a spirit due to Mjolnir.]”
“Element… Then, it becomes more difficult to defeat.”
At Cassius’ point, Aleista nodded.
Amelia, who heard the story, also puts power into her hand her holding her hammer, as if she agrees with that opinion.
“Then, somehow, we have to defeat it before then. Is there something, a way?”
“[Well… Even if you’re trying to sublimate into a spirit, you’re still a human after all. If you stab the vital point while detaching Mjolnir, you’ll die.]”
Freya frowned at Arleigh Star’s rather ambiguous answer.
“You say it simply… But I’m glad it’s resolved that way.”
As Freyja said, he picked up Gungnir, which had fallen on the ground, in his hand her.
“Is that a sword to use?”
“It doesn’t have dark magic, but it’s a pretty good weapon as an ordinary weapon. There’s no reason not to use it.”
Saying that, Freya swung Gungnir into the air.
Then, according to Freya’s weight class, the length of the spear was seen to increase.
“…Sif would be hoping for that too.”
“That’s right…! Then, it’s a sword that rushes all at once and tries to do something!”
Both Amelia and Peruluca nodded.
Cassius also thought that he would be able to ask Moose about the Goddess of Death only after this fight was over.
‘Cleon, please be safe. Because I can’t lose you.’
With a slightly nervous expression on his face, Cassius looked into the distance.
The realm where the goddess of death is located somewhere beyond that.
Cassius’ eyes seemed to be searching for the location of Cleon beyond.

“Whoa…”
The maid chief sighed heavily and managed to control his shaken emotions.
In her drooping shoulders of her, you could feel the weight of her memories of her she recalled.
In response to her reaction to her, Cleon was a little worried about how to react, but then he carefully asked her.
“…It’s okay?”
Still, it was respectful.
“Yes, thank you. … But I never thought I would be able to meet Cleon again like this.”
In her recollection of Cleon, her last meeting with her was also in that village where she parted ways with Dhampir.
However, the closeness she felt from her was something that was difficult to create in such a short meeting with her.
“Me too. I met him in the banishment realm…But that figure…”
Cleon blurs out his words.
Being a ghost doesn’t mean much.
It’s just that I ended my life as a human being.
But as Cleon, he couldn’t question her deeply about that fact.
Because I couldn’t do anything more cruel than recalling the moment of death.
“Yeah… Haha, in the end, I ended up like this too.”
While saying that, she scratched her cheeks shyly.
However, she continued her words with a serious expression as if she had remembered something.
“…But, there’s something I need to talk about. It’s about that child- Illenu.”
The name Illenu made Cleon harden for a moment.
The name that remained in her memory was the name of a Dhampir girl who fought alongside her against a vampire who boasted of nightmare-like strength.
“Is Illenu also here?”
“That’s right… I’m sure you’ve already met him.”
“No way-“
When Illenu’s appearance comes to mind in Cleon’s mind, what naturally overlaps is the white-haired masked woman who saved him.
It was the very appearance of the goddess of death.
“Looks like you noticed. …That the ruler of this world, the goddess of death, is Illenu.”
“How is that possible…? What the hell happened-“
Illenu, who heard Cleon’s words from her, opened her mouth cautiously with a dark face for a moment as if she was recalling her past events from her memories from her.
“——Our adventure is over. In the worst way.”
“Our… Adventure…”
She spoke in a tone as if “Cleon” Was included in those cages.
“Yes. Do you remember? The day after you and Illenu defeated the vampire. We-“
The maid’s expression softened a little, as if she was recalling a slightly pleasant memory, different from her painful ones.
“We, the three of us, went on an adventure together.”
And, the story that flowed out of her mouth was a story that did not match Cleon’s memories of her at all.
Between two people who thought they had the same past and the same experience.
There was something, the sound of gears dislocated.
