บท 58: Chapter 58
Looking up at the dark night sky.
The consciousness is so hazy that it seems like a dream.
Surrounded by rising hot air the shimmering magma flows swiftly through the cracks on the surface like twisted snakes.
The wreckage of the building that was burnt did not have the breath of a living person.
The air wrapped around the skin was as hot as a rough file.
—A hell that does not allow for life.
Elysia looked up at the blue-haired youth in midair expressionlessly.
The neighborhood is eerily quiet.
Except for the viscous sound made by the fire-burning stones and the low-pitched ground sounds, not even the slightest messy [biological] sound can be heard.
There are no charred [humans] nearby.
There is no carbonized [corpse] in the magma.
Compared with the information obtained through the "known human senses" such as sight, hearing, and touch.
Everything Elysia feels at this moment is as real as what is happening in front of her eyes, it's all a false illusion.
As she walked through the crisis-ridden town she silently looked up at the [similar] blue-haired youth in mid-air.
The sweat permeating from her forehead had already turned into water vapor before it dripped down, merging with the scorching air.
The world gave her the illusion that she was a foreign object.
The so-called foreign matter is a pest that destroys the atmosphere.
And things like pests are usually smashed by the owner without mercy—
As the idea of not being human quietly climbed into the girl's mind an indescribable sense of disgust followed.
Her "human" way of thinking cannot understand all this.
When Elysia obeyed the agreement with her "mother" and stayed away from danger, she watched the figure suspended in the dark night sky.
Her "non-human" side's instinct penetrates her seemingly human body.
It fundamentally has nothing to do with human beings and it continuously sends the instincts of the "other side" to her mind, trying to affect her way of thinking
As a result, the girl whose pupils were shining with the marks of a divine envoy stopped in their tracks.
Standing on the edge of the ruined town she raised her dirty head slightly, looking up at the [similar] blue-haired youth in mid-air.
The distance between the two is quite far.
It's about ten kilometers away from here.
After a long period of training her eyesight has been honed to a rather exaggerated level.
But logically speaking, under the sky completely covered by volcanic ash, Elysia shouldn't be able to see the blue-haired figure so clearly.
"..."
Her breathing stopped.
Her brain went blank as if refusing to think.
Her lungs no longer pump air up and down her body.
This is probably a matter of course.
After all—
After realizing that she and "that" thing belonged to the "same class".
Everything about Elysia has been stripped from the concept of a "human being".
The scene in front of her has changed.
The retina which captures light no longer transmits vision to her brain.
Apart from the clean planet, all she could see was herself and a blue-haired young man who was the same as herself.
No.
Compared with him who was originally "human".
She who was not a "human" being from the beginning was even more aware of the gaze that lacked human breath.
The blue-haired young man suspended in mid-air moved his gaze down slightly.
His pupils shrunk slightly.
The pupils that were engraved in inhuman textures flashed a trace of greed and madness, like a glutton seeing delicious food.
As an "Envoy of God" who has also been "sublimated" or "emerged" the young man thinks he is perfect.
Even though he was the first person selected by "Honkai" he is the weakest of his "kind" according to the "rules".
However, the weakest obtained power beyond the "rules" from the other side of the imaginary tree due to the cheater.
After his "emergence" became the "truth", he surpassed all rules and was qualified to complete the "final mission".
Devour everything.
Absorb everything.
In the end, he will completely reshape this land full of ants to what he wanted.
Even if she is also an "Envoy of God", it is absolutely impossible to have a more perfect existence than him—
However, it seems like a mockery.
When he saw the petite figure standing on the edge of the town.
Every cell in his body conveys a sense of inferiority.
You are just an apostle chosen by luck—
The instinct of his body said so to his rationality.
Compared with the "real one" you are just an inferior product full of flaws.
You are not perfect and you haven't been favored in the true sense.
"Are you kidding me..."
The young man whispered to himself in a voice that was as much mechanical as it was emotionless.
Every inch of muscle in his body trembled from excess shame and anger.
What followed was ecstasy.
The apostle who destroys civilization is not something without reason and emotion.
Even though they lose their humanity they can be regarded as lost souls in a sense, so they still retain human desires.
Sadistic desires such as greed for life and fear of death.
Even the desire to bully has not been lost by the youth who became an apostle.
Rather, it's just the opposite—
His rationality has been turned into the opposite of civilization so those negative emotions were magnified by an unknown number of times.
Therefore, the feeling of inferiority caused by seeing a [similar] being who is more excellent and perfect than himself was transformed into another desire.
He wanted to kill her to prove that he was more perfect.
He wants to devour her core to obtain a more perfect power than his "blooming" self.
Without relying on vision, two pairs of pupils that exuded heterogeneous patterns look at each other in this space where only the two of them exist.
—However, it is precisely because both parties briefly gave up their vision.
Neither side realizes that they can only see each other without relying on sight.
It's just because the third party present, like them is not a creature in the conventional sense.
A gale blew up.
The invisible wind surged wantonly under the night sky.
"...Sure enough, it is exactly the same as the judgment made by the guardian at the beginning."
The boy standing on the warship stared with his holy blue pupils at the youth who was not looking at him.
"Intent to kill, hostility, intention to harm, other than that, nothing..."
—Height from the ground, 1,000 meters.
An unprecedented torrent of magic power surrounded the immature boy in silver-white armor amidst interlaced lightning and thunder.
Compared with borrowing the power of "that Heroic Spirit" stored in the class card Archer, liberating the class card Saber is no different from being reborn.
The power in his body was unprecedentedly full, and the magic power he could use was unprecedentedly abundant.
The invisible sword in his hand was not at the same level of power as the weapons used by "that heroic spirit" in the past.
No matter who the young man looked at his purpose would not change in any way—
"Wind—"
Shirou groaned.
Layers of wind-refracting light are released.
The boy lifted the seal of the Invisible sword, making the already extremely violent storm even more violent.
The warship which was originally swooping down to the ground raised its head and aimed at the youth suspended in mid-air silently.
—Height from the ground, 1,200 meters.
For his Majesty the king perhaps such a method of warfare can be called despicable the boy thought.
A king from the years of war would have stuck to using despicable tactics in battle.
However, as the "King of Knights," it is impossible to tarnish the knight's belief in order to win.
It is a pity that no matter which "Shirou" he is, he doesn't have the glory of a hero.
Even if he inherits the power of that king he can't become such a noble Heroic Spirit.
If this is done correctly the enemy of humanity can be completely killed—
Height above the ground, 1,500 meters.
The invisible sword revealed its real body in the storm that raised the warship.
Dazzling white light gushed out from the body of the golden sword crazily.
"—?!"
At the moment when the god-level attack was about to be bloomed unscrupulously in the night sky—
The two beings who were looking at each other using the senses blessed by "Honkai" instantly restored their vision at the same.
A two-way road unfolded in front of Elysia and the blue-haired youth.
One side leads to humanity and the other leads to the inhumane.
The prismatic lines in Elysia's eyes disappeared.
She stared blankly at the warship going against the sky and subconsciously said:
"Mom...Mom?"
The energy released by the nuclear thrusters with the addition of being lifted by the storm made the speed of the warship's climb to the maximum height astronomically quick
The ultra-high speed surpassing five times the speed of sound coupled with Shirou pouring all the magic power possessed by the "King of Knight" resulted in a powerful leap—
"—?!"
—Shirou's body at this moment even surpassed the highest speed that the arrows he shot could reach.
In less than a millisecond the main ship of the first team let out an overwhelmed scream due to the leap of Shirou.
In the next millisecond, Shirou's blue holy figure disappeared out of thin air.
His body holding the golden holy sword approached the blue-haired youth suspended in mid-air, it was as if space was being shifted.
"Ex—" [Sword of—]
There is no time to react.
There is no opportunity to use abilities.
There is even no time to feel "fear".
"-calibur." [-Promised Victory]
An emotionless voice.
In the sharp light that filled his entire field of vision, the young man's face which had vague remnants of greed and ecstasy was burned completely by the surging beam.
The roaring light beam engulfed the young man's body.
It tore apart the ash-filled air and the pitch-black night.
It tore out an incomparably huge hole from the volcanic ash scattered in the air.
Click-
At this moment, Shirou heard a crisp cracking sound.
Excalibur [Sword of Promised Vicory] released its full power to burn the body of the blue-haired youth without even ashes left.
In the torrent of light that drowned everything the space where the blue-haired youth was at was completely burned.
A gemstone that looked quite beautiful was suspended in the powerful light that burned everything.
The moment the gemstone with a crack on its surface came into view, Shirou's pupils shrank instantly.
It was just a beautiful-looking gem but after this gem came into view, unspeakable knowledge filled Shirou's entire brain at once.
How much knowledge beyond human intelligence was used to create this thing?
Just from taking a look Shirou immediately understood that it was not something that he could understand or analyze.
Compared with existing civilization, the "law" contained in that gem is all the theories from an unknown world.
No, to be more precise, it should be knowledge from a different galaxy.
Through the cracks of gemstone that "thing" hidden in the imaginary space was displayed in front of Shirou.
It is common sense that human civilization is still in its infancy.
When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you
"No! Mom—! Don't touch that! Come—!"
Is it an illusion?
Obviously, no matter how far the distance is, the contract they established can connect the spirits of both parties.
Why did he feel that Elysia's voice was so far away from his own...
Amidst such doubts his body floating in the air gradually became transparent.
At the same time as the light remaining in the air from Excalibur dissipated, Shirou's body also scattered with the wind.
The kite string is broken.
