Chapter 209 – The Endweaver

Emitting black lightning, the black spear rushed straight toward the Door to His Land. As it was, it should continue through that bright red world.

[Gooooooo.]

It’s just opened. We should still make it. From there, a strange presence was slowly overflowing. not entering yet.

If it’s this time… with the power I inherited it from my father… if it’s this black spear.

[Why!]

Isn’t that a different promise?

[Why are you disturbing me!]

The black cube, which should have been silent, fluttered through the air and became a shield that blocked the black spear.

A black spear and a black cube clashed.

Objects with indestructible attributes. If mine was the strongest spear, then that cube was the strongest shield.

I looked at the person who made it. He had a cool face and white hair flowing. You can feel the purity of the priestly clothes he’s wearing, which is unsuitable for the rough earth.

I shouted the name of the person who floated in front of the Door to His Land without any wings.

[Libra!]

He didn’t want this to happen. Why are you there blocking me then! I will never relax. I’m going to push through like this.

I will dedicate my status to this. Take it.

[Greed! Take it…]

The black spear becomes sharper…bigger… and longer. Then, red and black lightning began to roar.

The black cube touched by this lightning crumbled like sand and fell. And in the end, it disappears without even leaving a speck of dust.

Even if it’s supposedly indestructible, it didn’t mean anything in front of this 6th form’s secret technique, Revolt Brionac.

The black spear that had the power to annihilate any existence will always penetrate through no matter what kind of shield it is. It took the form of a wish to erase the door to that land… Libra can no longer stop this power.

The wall-like shield made of black cubes stretched over many layers is erased. Still, there was no sign of impatience in Libra.

He had an aloof look as usual.

That’s fine. I’ll put it on with you and finish it.

Libra snapped his fingers when I tried to put in more power to manipulate the black spear.

[Fate, stop it!]

[What?]

Eris warned me. Immediately, I changed the course of the black spear. The spear drew an arc as it returned to my hand.

『I see… he’s still a nasty guy.』

Greed, who returned, cursed hatefully.

There was an angel crucified on the cross of light. She seemed to have fainted, and only her half-red blond hair fluttered in the wind.

[Roxy…]

Libra didn’t seem to care about my glare. With the remaining black cube behind him, he opened his mouth.

[Amazing. To make this disappear. Unexpected.]

[Libra!]

[However, the strongest shield is something like this.]

He bowed lightly, as if to show respect to Roxy.

[Where’s Myne?]

Most likely, they were attacked by Libra after the battle with the Sacred Beast Gemini. The girls who bought us time before we boarded the imperial capital must have been quite exhausted.

That’s probably what they were aiming for. Are you saying that Roxy’s condition is okay… I don’t know, but it doesn’t look like she’s seriously injured. I’m worried about Myne. There’s no way she’d just stay put and watch Roxy being taken away.

[What about you?]

Libra ignored my question and continued on his own.

[Eating your own father. What do you think?]

[Kuh.]

[Are you immersed in sentimentality? Or was it delicious?]

[Youuuuuuuu!]

[What a model son we have here.]

His voice kept pouring out, mocking me.

The hand that grip the black spear became stiff.

『Calm down, Fate. Being shaken will only make it more disadvantageous』

[Greed…]

Libra seemed to have come up with something and took it out of his pocket and threw it away.

[A gift. I hope you like it.]

It fell on Eris’ back… I stared at it.

[This is… no way]

I took it in my hand and checked its shape. It’s a pitch black cone. I’ve seen it once before. It’s the horn of Myne who turned into a war demon.

[Sorry for the delay in answering. Can you understand me now?]

[…don’t screw with me]

[Stay quiet. Eris too. I thought you said you didn’t like your monstrous appearance. I can’t believe this.]

Eris’ large Tenryu body trembled slightly. I gently stroked her to reassure her, and never took my eyes off Libra.

[Compared to this, what’s so great about her? This one is not farmed; a natural product. Is it a difference in the possibilities? Don’t you think so too, Fate?]

[What do you want to say? What are you trying to do?]

[I think you can predict it from this situation.]

When I glared at her, Libra grinned.

[To the other side of the door. As her escort.]

[Roxy!]

He moved the crucified Roxy in front of the red world.

[Originally, only souls are allowed to pass from here onwards. However, if the soul is strong enough to fuse with the Sacred Beastkin.]

[Kyaaaaaa!]

I was about to shoot the black spear after hearing Roxy’s scream, but was stopped by the circling Eris.

[It’s okay. Libra needs Roxy. We have a chance. We must endure it here.]

[But, still.]

『Fate, it’s just as Eris says.』

If Greed says so, I guess all we can do right now is just look at them… A change occurred in the bright red color of the world. A golden color reminiscent of Roxy’s hair began to mix in.

[Those who can go further…the chosen ones can have it all.]

The sacred stigmata on Libra’s face was glowing red. Is what he’s going to do from now on the same revelation as my father?

It’s still unknown, but there seems to be a rule behind that door that nobody can’t refuse.

[Now, let’s ask her for directions. If she accompanies me, I can go inside. What are you going to do?]

Libra looked down at me as if to provoke me.

Immediately, the black cubes began to draw a circle. Is he trying to summon something?

I knew it right away. Four giant bodies emerged from the void. This is…this sign and pressure…

[I’ve come this far, and I won’t hold back. I’ll face you off with all the sacred beasts I have.]

[…Libra]

[You have to make a choice. You can pass through here. But Eris will be left behind to die. After I go on, you must open the door to his land. If you annihilate her with the Black Spear, Roxy will never come back. Come on, choose]

[You are…]

I tried to point the black spear at Libra, but Roxy was used like a shield again.

[Looking up like that suits you better.]

When Libra lowered her hands, the four sacred beasts began to move.

[Fate, I’m fine.]

[That kind of thing is…..]

Eris was deeply traumatized by Libra. I still can’t say that she had overcome it. I know that trauma extended to other sacred beasts under his control.

Four of them were closing in on us. Each of them probably possessed an outrageous ability…there’s no way Eris will be okay.

[Shit.]

[Are you going to stay? Then you should stay here until everything is over.]

Along with the crucified Roxy, when Libra tried to pass through the door to his land, one sacred beast leaned heavily.

A tremendous impact sound rushed through.

Libra gave the person who did it a bitter look.

[So tough. I was sure it’s a perfect surprise attack, but you are still alive… As expected of a war demon.]

Even if she lost one horn, she’s still formidable. Her white hair swaying in the wind contrasted well with the wreckage of the black buildings in the imperial capital.

Hoisting a large black axe, majestically.

[Myne!]

[No problem. I’m fine too.]

Even in that war demon’s form, Myne maintained her ego. After facing her past, she seemed to have become stronger again.

[Don’t worry, Eris and I will deal with the stuff here. Fate should do what Fate can do.]

Myne started engaging the sacred beast that aimed for her.

Libra didn’t seem to find it amusing, and let out a big sigh. And without saying anything, he took Roxy and Black Cube and stepped into His Land.

[Eris, I’m going.]

[That’s what you have to do. Then I’ll take you there. Myne, please support me.]

[Roger that.]

Myne jumped high and landed on Eris’ head. With her black ax ready, she gazed at the Door to His Land.

[Fate doesn’t have to do anything. Save her.]

[That’s right.]

[Be sure to end it.]

[Okay. I’ll leave it to you.]

The sacred beasts stood in our way. One came up late due to Myne’s first attack.

If we push those three away, I can reach it.

Eris flapped her eight wings and soared. Letting out a roar as she went. With her momentum, Eris bit one of the evasive holy beasts and leaped further.

[I’ll leave it to you. Myne]

Even though one of her wings was cut off by the rampaging Sacred Beast, Eris plunged into the other beast already.

A dull, loud sound resounded.

[…Jump, Fate.]

His Land was just around the corner. Leaving those words behind, Eris fell to the ground while entwined with the two sacred beasts. Myne and I jumped high.

The final Sacred Beast stood in the way as if trying to hinder. And Myne expected this from the beginning.

The black ax had already changed shape. It had stored an enormous amount of power which leaked out as a black light. She swung down the black ax that could make itself heavier toward the sacred beast. It’s the Black Ax Secret Technique Noir Destruct.

[Go ahead!]

[…..Thank you.]

[Thank us properly after you come back.]

[Yeah, I will.]

The last sacred beast was struck with a powerful blow, falling to the ground with Myne on it. I gave Myne a high five as we passed each other and used the falling sacred beast as a jumping foothold. As I made my way to His Land, I glanced quickly at the two.

The sounds of Myne and Eris fighting the sacred beasts gradually faded away.
