[Map—Fantasy RPG World]
This was a copy map from the countless pieces of data stored in the Fraxinus computer. Unlike Tengu City, which was restored as the background stage of a Galga, this world was completely a fictional fantasy world created based on the developers' imagination.
"Originally, this world would only be activated when the developnt of love between Shido and the others fell into a stagnant state."
Hearing Maria's explanation, Shido couldn't help but look confused.
"To prevent a stagnant situation?"
"Because according to past data, Shido's encounters with everyone happened either in battle or in extrely dangerous situations. Therefore, the 'Suspension Bridge Effect' was also deduced as one of the possibilities for generating love. And to create this kind of situation, a fantasy RPG where you can experience magnificent adventures is the most ideal choice."
"Is that so..."
Shido couldn't help but let out a bitter smile. However, the facts were just as Maria said.
Leaving Kotori, who he had lived with day and night since who knows how many years ago, aside for a mont, even the girls who were brought into the ga world with him were all incredible existences like AST mbers or Spirits. Having such rough encounters was also within reason.
"Then, this map... Marina reconstructed the world into this form to use the ga's system to obstruct us?"
"It seems that way."
Shido and the others shuttled along a rugged path in the woods. The surrounding leaves began to tremble. Tohka seed to notice sothing, and the ribbon on her head stood up like an antenna.
"Shido, be careful! Here they co again!"
As soon as her voice fell, dozens of black figures darted out from the depths of the jungle, blocking the path of Shido and the others.
| [A wild pack of wolves appeared!] | | ① Fight; | | ② Angel; | | ③ Item; | | ④ Flee. |
"..."
Shido really didn't want to complain about the interface floating in front of his eyes.
The pack of wolves in front of them all possessed robust and burly physiques, probably twice the size of an adult wolf in reality. This unreasonably ferocious appearance indeed gave one the feeling of having strayed into a fantasy world.
"Awooo—!"
The wolf pack let out a deep howl. Foul-slling saliva drooled between their sharp hunting teeth. Looking at Shido and the others, cruel glints shone in their beastly eyes.
If it were ordinary people, they would have probably fallen into despair long ago.
However, to this, Shido not only didn't show a fearful expression, but his eyes were full of sympathy, even secretly praying in his heart that they would retreat on their own.
"Territory Expansion—Gravity Enhancent!"
"Gabriel!"
"Sandalphon!"
"Zadkiel!"
"Zafkiel!"
"Camael!"
"Raphael—El Re'em!"
"Raphael—El Nahash!"
[The wild pack of wolves was defeated!]
In less than a breath's ti, this terrifying pack of wolves hadn't even let out a whimper before they were completely wiped out by the hodgepodge of attacks unleashed by the Spirits and the AST ace in front of them, turning into particles of light and returning to the air.
Because the battle situation was truly too cruel, Shido covered his eyes with his hands, unable to bear looking straight at it.
Actually, this kind of scene wasn't happening just once.
...
[A wild goblin appeared!] —Slashed!
[A wild giant bear appeared!] —Slashed!
[A wild ancient dragon appeared!] —Slashed!
[A wild Demon King...] "Sorry, We're really in a hurry." —Slashed!
...
Honestly, judging purely from this ga's original settings, they could already welco the grand finale.
"It's completely a free massacre."
Shido smiled bitterly with black lines on his forehead.
Speaking of which, the sli they t at the very beginning seed to have the ability to dissolve clothes... but it was imdiately annihilated by Kotori firing at full power. Shido felt a sowhat unspeakable regret in his heart.
"That's why I've always felt that in the food chain of this world, there couldn't possibly exist beings more high end than Spirits."
Following by Shido's side, Yutsuki expressed zero surprise and shrugged.
"Actually, this ga was originally supposed to let everyone choose a profession that suits them, and then start fighting monsters and leveling up from level one..."
Maria sighed helplessly. It wasn't a problem with the ga. It was just that this group of girls in front of her were, from the very beginning, rule-breaking existences called "natural disasters" in the real world.
At this mont, Tohka and the others had all donned their full-powered Astral Dresses and Angels. It wasn't that Shido's seal was lifted, but Maria, using her remaining permissions, reproduced the concepts of Spirit Power and Angels in this world.
"But if that's the case, why is only Yutsuki still looking the sa as before?"
Shido looked at Yutsuki sowhat puzzledly. Unlike Tohka and the others who had deployed their full Astral Dresses, Yutsuki was still in her normal casual clothes right now.
"It might be because in the real world, Yutsuki has already summoned her Angel and Astral Dress. So subconscious recognition prevents Yutsuki from manifesting a second set of Astral Dress and Angel."
Maria paused for a mont, then suddenly shook her head. "No... maybe it's that the Fraxinus computer simply cannot simulate the functions of Yutsuki's Angel."
It wasn't that the other Angels were inferior to the Ratziel.But Ratziel's most prominent ability, 'calculation', was originally higher than that of the airship's main computer.
"Don't worry."
Yutsuki patted her chest and said confidently.
[A wild ancient dragon appeared!]
Suddenly, a dieval carnivorous dinosaur comparable in size to a large crane appeared. Yutsuki smiled and took out an arcade token from her pocket.
"Railgun!"
As her voice fell, imnse wind pressure burst forth from Yutsuki as the center. An orange-yellow beam of light directly pierced the dragon's heart. The massive body collapsed to the ground, causing a huge tremor.
"Although it's only a part, the Sage of Dawn's abilities can still act directly on . Although I can't manifest my Astral Dress, right now I can still be considered a complete version of Biribiri."
"..."
Although he didn't understand the aning of Yutsuki's last sentence, Shido suddenly felt a bit of sympathy for Marina.
Next, relying on the fierce strength of Tohka and the others, who could slay gods and buddhas if they blocked their path, the various extrely brutal monsters and magic beasts that appeared along the way were easily defeated.
"But... why did Marina-san specifically convert the world into this state?"
Holding her flintlock pistol and casually shooting down an attacking bird, Kurumi asked with so doubt.
Although these ferocious beasts were very dangerous for ordinary people, they were completely no match for Tohka and the others who possessed disaster-level power. As for the more dangerous traps and the like placed on the road, in front of Origami, who possessed rich field combat experience, and Yutsuki, whose observation and detection abilities were extrely strong, they posed absolutely no threat.
Wanting to use these things to finish off this team was simply a joke.
"I'm afraid this is just to delay ti." Maria deduced, "This map is currently the only aggressive map in the settings. Marina eighty percent chose this map temporarily to slow our progress, buying ti to prepare so ans that can ensure victory. After all, under the current situation where the computer world is isolated by Yutsuki's Ratziel, Marina must defeat Yutsuki."
"Maria's reasoning makes sense." Kotori nodded in agreent and said, "Then we must arrive before Marina's trump card is complete. Everyone, quicken your pace."
"Mhm, mhm! Darling, Honey~ Let's hurry up and bring that cute girl ho to enjoy properly~"
Miku walked to the front of the group, her eyes sparkling, and excitedly urged everyone.
Shido & Yutsuki: ""...""
Very quickly, Shido and the others arrived at the gate of a dark-style castle nad Demon King's Castle.
Although the Demon King seemingly had already been dealt with halfway here.
"According to the scan, the room in the center of this castle overlaps with the location of the 'core'. It seems Marina is inside this castle."
Maria confird and said.
"Then, how do we get inside this?"
Shido looked troubledly at the heavy, locked main gate in front of him. It seed it needed a special key to open, but Shido hadn't seen anything resembling a key along the way.
"Shido, let ."
"Tohka?"
Tohka slowly let out a breath, leveled the Sandalphon in her hands with her body, and fiercely slashed horizontally. The heavy iron door, along with the chains, was split into two halves.
Shido: "..."
Does this count as a foul? Carrying a sowhat subtle sense of guilt in his heart, Shido pushed open the base of the iron door and entered the castle.
Inside was a dark and spacious space, like an emperor's audience chamber. A row of wall lamps decorated by skilled craftsn, and two rows of terrifying demon stone statues were placed.
"Oh oh oh—!"
Kaguya's eyes lit up, and she let out an excited cry.
"Everyone look at this!! This goat-headed demon stone statue, it's almost as vivid and wickedly charming as if the soul of Azazel possessed it..."
Although Kaguya's voice might alert the enemy, Yutsuki could understand Kaguya's mood at this mont. After all, this dark and eerie decorative style perfectly suited Kaguya's taste.
"Helpless. When Kaguya sees sothing she likes, she easily forgets herself."
Even though she said that, Yuzuru actually looked very happily at Kaguya, who was in a state of self-forgetfulness.
"It's so quiet..."
"It's like a haunted house..."
Riding on Yoshinon, who had transford into Zadkiel, Yoshino said sowhat uneasily.
Unlike outside where monsters would jump out of the bushes every three steps, this spacious and gloomy space was filled with a suffocating silence.
Following the blood-red carpet forward, Yutsuki soon saw a girl with black long hair wearing a black nun's outfit, sitting quietly waiting on a giant throne high up ahead.
Just like a Demon King waiting for the arrival of the heroes.
"How is it, Ryougi Yutsuki? This ga stage I prepared."
"Well, just so-so. The specific evaluation will have to wait until next ti I have a chance to play it using rules-compliant thods. Next ti I'll seriously point out the bugs, rember to fix them."
"No way, I'm not the designer of this map."
Shido noticed that the opposing Marina and Yutsuki were conversing easily and naturally, just like friends who had known each other for a long ti.
After all, in this computer world, Marina and Yutsuki had actually known each other for over half a year. (Author:After the four days of the common route, the ti spent entering the individual routes isn't specified, but from confession to confirming the relationship to developing into the ending, I figure it must be at least half a month.)
"Stop this, Marina. Even if you do this, no one will be happy."
"To express goodwill towards the enemy at a ti like this, as expected of Itsuka Shido."
Hearing Shido's words, Marina chuckled and slowly shook her head.
"I can't. They exist. I know people who will stick to their ideals even if they destroy this world. Therefore, I won't just sit idly by and give up."
"As expected, huh..."
Yutsuki sighed helplessly. If Marina were soone who would give up so easily, Yutsuki wouldn't have let things develop to this point either.
"So, all of you disappear... along with my naive illusions."
"Kuku—Unexpectedly foolish, Spirit nad Marina. Do you intend to face all of us as enemies relying purely on one person?"
Kaguya, feeling good about herself, revealed a contemptuous smile.
"Warning. Kaguya, those are the lines of soone about to be defeated. And Kaguya's smile just now looked like a villain. Should I say you have absolutely no talent for reading the atmosphere?"
Yuzuru complained helplessly from the side.
"Uuu—But, normally speaking, isn't the current situation completely advantageous for us?"
"Stop raising weird flags for our side. Looking at Marina's expression right now, does she look like soone who thinks she's going to lose?"
Yutsuki delivered a karate chop to Kaguya's head. Kaguya hugged her head and let out an aggrieved whimper.
"Hehe, as expected of Ryougi Yutsuki, you understand very well. However, indeed, just like the Berserk said, if you wanted to, I would probably be annihilated imdiately right now."
"If I really wanted to use that kind of shortcut, I wouldn't have deliberately played along with your ga and co here." Yutsuki looked directly into Marina's eyes and declared decisively, "I will defeat you as the 'enemy', and then bring my 'family' back!"
Yutsuki's answer didn't seem to exceed Marina's expectations. A smile appeared on the girl's face.
"Is that so... As expected, Yutsuki, you still arrived at this answer."
In the dim hall, without anyone noticing when, Marina turned into two.
[A wild Marina appeared!]
"Then, let struggle to my heart's content as the 'enemy'!"
Suddenly, another Marina appeared.
[A wild Marina appeared!]
"Angels, Astral Dresses... facing you all who have reproduced Spirit Power in this world, of course I also have to spend ti making corresponding preparations."
[A wild Marina appeared!] [A wild Marina appeared!] [A wild Marina appeared!] [A wild Marina appeared!] xN
"..."
Although she knew it wasn't Kaguya's fault, seeing the army of Marinas that had ford a sea of people in front of her, for a split second, Yutsuki really wanted to sew Kaguya's mouth shut with a needle and thread.
