45. You Know Nothing of the Script

After the daze, looking again, the death script that was about to unfold around Kefer had vanished without a trace. Was it because the content of the script was meant to change like this? Or was it that, at the last moment, Kefer’s comforting smile was not just to placate me, but that she truly held some “hidden power of the protagonist,” which, at the moment of crisis, unleashed a “protagonist’s halo” that altered the content of the script?

I had no time to understand, after all, it seemed there were equally important matters waiting for me to address. What had just disappeared was merely Kefer’s portion, while Nilu’s portion still clearly appeared before my eyes, each word and sentence emerging as if mocking me, yet also waiting for my change.

Ah, thinking back, what a wonderful opportunity this is to eliminate Nilu, the “big BOSS”! As long as I do nothing, the death script will surely descend upon Nilu, allowing her to exit early without even needing a “final showdown” with Kefer, which would undoubtedly be an unexpected surprise for Kefer’s “protagonist” identity.

However… sorry, Kefier, but Nieru can’t fall into danger either.

At least, it can’t be now, right in front of me. If I let it happen, I’d even feel like I don’t have the qualification to stay by your side, after all… Kefier, you wouldn’t want me to ignore it, would you?

【Nieru was attacked by Ura Seatrice, but couldn’t be hurt.】

It was as if I had made an attempt, and in this dazed state, my techniques had become more refined. Even though I saw Nieru’s death script after Kefier’s, I still managed to review it before it happened and…

【Crack】

In the blurry vision, everything around us seemed to crack like an eggshell, accompanied by the spreading of the cracks. Not only did the light swords that were shot towards us disappear, but even the ones standing densely behind Ura Seatrice in mid-air shattered, turning into rays of light, slowly falling like snowflakes.

Ah~ so it seems that Nieru’s death script has disappeared too! Is it because these two big shots have “turned the tables”?

I let out a sigh of relief, and when I confirmed again, Nieru was already safe. However, my subconscious mind, with a not-so-clear head, looked at Nieru, and her reaction was so strange.

She was staring at me as if she had seen something bizarre, her gaze as if Kefier no longer existed, and there was only me! Then, she carefully stretched out her hand, but it was trembling with tension, and even her words were shaking with fear.

“You… it’s not right, you are… drawing…”

I didn’t have time to care about Nieru’s strange reaction anymore, because in the depths of my mind, it seemed like a voice was reminding me: even though Kefier and Nieru were already safe, the pure white nun Ura Seatrice, and her “domain” that could make Kefier and Nieru lose their powers, still hadn’t been resolved, and I couldn’t relax yet!

Not to mention that in my line of sight: after all the powers in my domain were broken, Ura Seatrice seemed to have realized something, and her calm and silent demeanor was no longer, replaced by an aura of danger and hostility, as if she wanted to tear us apart!

She immediately stood up, holding her scythe, and swung it forward with a familiar yet ruthless motion.

In an instant, the dark sky was lit up by the flashing light swords, as if they had become a starry sky.

Next, the “stars” fell towards us!

【Eurycleia and three others were killed by Ura Seatrice.】

The death script appeared again, ah, I knew it: after all, in this pure white nun’s “judgment” domain, Kefier and Nieru’s powers were temporarily stripped, so this script would naturally appear.

However…

No matter what kind of script it is, I can see it, no matter how dangerous the script is, I’ll make it disappear! No matter who you are, dragon, villain, BOSS, or whatever stronger role, anytime, anywhere, in any way, don’t even think about hurting the girls behind me one bit.

【One. Bit. Understand? Ignorant ‘role’】

“Ou… sizzle.

I seemed to have touched something, I seemed to have changed something, yet it felt as if I had erased something. Although I had no clear impression of what I had just done, when I looked ahead again, the lightsaber shooting towards us like a meteor shattered and vanished once more. This time, the impact even spread to the very realm of Urasiru, causing the cracks between the seemingly invisible “barriers” around us to ripple, extending into something more grotesque and terrifying!

“Ou Qili De, you…”

“……”

Don’t worry, you two big shots, this is just a “script.” I can see it; you’ll be fine.

I ignored Kephiel and Nilu. After that last strike had completely failed, Urasiru in the distance appeared even more anxious and tense!

She no longer used those lightsabers but instead drew her scythe, dragging one hand behind her while catching the lightsaber falling from the sky with the other, rushing towards me.

“Why did you appear!? Why did you come back!? Why did you…”

What was she mumbling about?

Huh, it doesn’t matter. The dangerous script for the three of us has completely vanished, so it’s time to bring this to a “conclusion.”

【Urasiru’s realm has failed.】

In the next moment, the thing called “realm” around us, the cracks on the “eggshell” finally collapsed, and golden fragments rained down, representing the decline of Urasiru’s domain!

【Urasiru has been defeated by Kephiel and Nilu.】

Urasiru, who had already leaped in front of me, didn’t have time to swing her scythe, as if struck by some invisible force, she and her weapon were sent flying away.

I wouldn’t let a third-rate script where the protagonist and the big BOSS die happen. And now, this content truly represents the real “heroic” development, with the two rivals cooperating, of course, it must conclude in the most perfect manner.

Kephiel, Nilu, don’t you agree?

No longer looking at the script, I turned to the two women.

In an instant, my hazy consciousness seemed to be doused with cold water, making everything that was once blurry before my eyes become clear: the astonished Kephiel, and… Nilu, whose gaze at me seemed to carry a hint of surprise.

What are you two staring at? Don’t just stand there; quickly strike a victorious pose and throw out some fierce words!

Yet the responses from the two women remained so dull.

“You two, what’s wrong?”

“The one who should be asking is me, Ougilid. Just now you—”

Kefir wanted to say more, but was immediately interrupted as Nilu struggled to stand up and walked over to cover her mouth.

“Wha—nothing at all, Mr. Ougilid. Didn’t I just tell you? We have a ‘hidden trump card’ up our sleeves; Urasiru has already been defeated by us.”

With that, Nilu desperately shot a glance at Kefir, urging me on while signaling.

“Okay, okay, let’s talk about it later. We need to check on Urasiru’s condition first! We can’t let her pull any more strange tricks!”
