# 266
266.
She walked out of the dethroned flames.
Hot air coming through the airways. It felt like I was in a chemotherapy room.
You must have seen this too If we put our minds to it, we would have been grilled whole with the Lucette.
[Long time no see.]
Siris walked out and spread her left hand.
The flames that had been wrapped around his body dissipated and a single red sword was pulled out.
Flame Sword Levatein. It was the best masterpiece of the Niflheim series I made.
[Is this the first time since we met in Niflheim?]
The brilliance of her hair, which seemed to be wrapped in flames, disappeared.
Both eyes returned to their usual green color. A blonde, green-eyed female knight dressed in silver armor.
It was exactly what I had imagined of Siris.
“Isn’t it a sudden timing for a reunion? It was during a very busy time.”
“From now on, you will not hear Marklamda’s name on Server 2.”
Siris landed on the deck of the Lucette.
At the same time, the waves of flames that were raging across the field dissipated. The hot air subsided in an instant.
“Master, you just have to focus on your original mission. Until you clear all the floors and return to Earth. We’ll take care of any annoying things that appear before that.”
Siris said expressionlessly.
There is not an inch of movement in the sculpturally neat features.
Like looking at a plaster statue.
“That’s what you’re talking about.”
“Isn’t it time to share a touching hug?”
I think it’s just empty words, but my face doesn’t smile at all.
“I will say something as the submaster of Niflheim and the leader of the 1st party that has been with you for a long time.”
Siris looked at me with clear eyes.
“Close your eyes, close your ears, and return to Earth. Forget what happened here and live your life. In the end, time will solve everything.”
“…”
“Master, how many times have you been fooled? You don’t have to listen to the CEO’s honeyed words or the director’s nonsense. It’s funny. What about Mobius and what server 1 is like, just ignore them. It’s nonsense that even dogs won’t listen to.”
I was silent.
As Siris said, she and I weren’t even close enough to film a touching reunion scene.
A long time ago, we used to quarrel all the time. It was such a headache to have different opinions on even the smallest details. Every time I wanted to do something, I would stand up and make a claim. Perhaps, if she hadn’t been the only born 4-star, she would have changed it earlier.
But it was on the lower floors, and as we went up to the higher floors… I thought it gradually changed.
Was it my own misunderstanding? I swallowed the bitter feeling and opened my mouth.
“Siris.”
“yes.”
“Did you come all the way here to say that? You just wanted to say something like that to me?”
I opened my mouth.
“Where have you been? What have you been doing? I heard you were doing some research. Ever since I came here. Apparently, you seem to know quite a bit of information I don’t.”
“…isn’t it?”
Siris continued.
“I’m giving you advice because I know.”
“…”
“Don’t get me wrong. You’re not the Loki of old. You’re just an ordinary hero here. You have no right to give orders to me.”
“That’s right.”
“You… have become weak. The old you weren’t so clumsy. Thorough. Cool-headed. Judgment. Efficiency. Perfect. That’s why we respected the Master. But what about now?”
Siris looked back.
There were floating remains of the airship left over from the fire.
“No matter how many times I’ve been fooled, will you believe what they say?”
“I never really believed it.”
“If that’s true.”
Siris held out her hand to me.
“Pass the Book of Reversal. Master, you can become 7-star even without anything like this. This means it’s useless except for the 1st server’s pass. You still have it, don’t you?”
“Siris, you’re so excited.”
“I am extremely cold.”
“What the hell happened…”
“Stop!”
Siris gritted his teeth and shouted.
muttered afterwards.
“There is… no hope in this world.”
A blank look appeared on Siris’ face.
The face of a despairing man who has let go of all hope and desire.
However, that expression disappeared as if it passed by for a very short time, and an inorganic expression like a mask was engraved on it again.
At that moment, I was able to notice where Siris had been.
1 server.
“Master, hand over the Book of Reversal.”
“…”
“I won’t say it twice.”
Hwareuk.
Flames burned from Levatein’s crimson blade.
“This won’t happen. There’s no such thing as a pure robber.”
Siris looked to the side with cold eyes.
There, Belquist was leaning against the railing.
Since Siris didn’t particularly choose the place, our conversation must have all leaked out.
“I don’t know what kind of relationship you have with your senior, but how about that?”
“that’s right!”
Jenna jumped out from behind the pillar.
Jenna glared at Siris with her cheeks inflated.
“Your brother doesn’t like it. That item was something that he had been protecting with great difficulty, even risking his life. To think he took it away for a strange reason, he was considerate…” Siris’ eyes turned red
.
Before the two of them turned to ashes, I took out the Book of Reverse Heaven and threw it away.
“Take it. Don’t touch the innocent child.”
“…received.”
Siris raised the Book of Reverse Heaven with her left hand and opened it.
“Purification of worthless things.”
Hwareuk!
At the end of the book, the fire started to move.
Even treasures of unknown value have durability. The red flames spread all over the book in an instant and extinguished without leaving any traces of the standing in reverse.
‘That’s…’
It was a keepsake left by El Cid for me.
It contained the hopes and wishes of Dorado, who had perished.
I don’t know how the dead El Cid will react when he sees this.
“Why did you hand it over meekly?”
“Yes, brother. You never know what will happen if we join forces!”
“Never try to fight. Even if you die.”
It’s not that the grade is high and the level is different.
“Is that enough?”
Belquist touched his sword.
Jenna was also glaring at Siris.
“Brother, if you aim for a weakness…”
“There is no such thing as a weakness.”
I asserted
I knew better than anyone else.
“If you tell me to lie down, do it. If you say ki, crawl. If you don’t want to lose.”
Siris was looking at the scattered remains of books.
Outwardly, no power is felt. Just an ordinary heretic. However, having watched it myself, I know how out-of-standard this guy is. The other 1st party members were also strong, but Siris was one step higher than that.
‘complete.’
If the 7 stars surpassed the hero,
Siris was the ultimate hero.
Only possesses 13 S-class skills.
Each skill maximizes each other’s synergy while making up for its shortcomings.
And driving a wedge here was the flame sword Levatein and the U-class imprint named ‘Ifrit’. To complete Ifrit, I had to synthesize 7 different types of S-class imprints.
‘There are no downsides…’
There are no weaknesses.
It can exert 100% power whether on the ground or underground, in space, or in another world, and it does not differentiate between one-on-one, many-on-one, short-range and long-range physical and magical attacks and defenses.
It was truly complete.
“So, I gave them what they wanted. Are you done with your business now? I want you to go back. I have cleanup left over.”
“master.”
“why.”
“Are you really going to return to Earth?
“I just burned the Book of Reversal. I have something left.”
I spread both hands out.
there’s nothing. The things I tried to protect while putting on all sorts of shows were eventually taken away.
became empty-handed again.
“Can you swear to me that you will return to Earth without a second thought?”
“…”
“If you come back to Loki, I will accept any punishment. But not now. Don’t be fooled by their poor acting.”
“It’s a clumsy performance.”
I thought of El Cid coughing up blood with a knife stuck in his heart.
I don’t want to think that it’s clumsy acting either. I shrugged and muttered.
“Someone tells me to stay, and someone else tells me to go back, and I don’t know which rhythm to dance to, one.”
“You don’t… swear.”
“You don’t know what’s going on in the world.”
When I came here, I couldn’t come on my own.
But when you go, you have to be kicked out in the same way?
“To just turn off without telling me why, would you listen to me kindly?
“Sometimes it’s good not knowing.”
“It’s not you who decides that.”
“You’ll know when you see it.”
Flames engulfed Siris’ entire body.
Ifrit Form. It was an obvious battle stance.
Siris, who floated into the air, swung the Levatein long.
[Execution begins.]
Roaring!
Long flames spread from the tip of Levatein’s blade.
The flames blazed brilliantly as if enveloping the entire field.
[Nihaku guestfel.]
Pajijik!
Flames mingled with lightning and exploded.
A small girl jumped out of it.
[Muden Nidelk.]
Ugh.
The space shook in a straight line, and a boy wearing a spear walked by.
[Lydigion.]
A young man with three swords crossed came out.
[Yournet Sid.]
A woman wearing a pure white robe was summoned by the combination of fire and fog.
[And I, Siris Argentheim.]
Siris lowered Levatein.
draft call. It was the unique authority of Siris, the pinnacle and sub-master of Niflheim 20,000 heroes. She was able to summon the 1st party members when she deemed it necessary.
‘But this…’
I looked around at them.
Five of them surrounded the Lucette I was on in a circle.
[We have an obligation to help the master return safely. Even if it goes against your will.]
“What are we going to do?”
[It is only Loki that we have given our allegiance to, not Israt.]
Siris replied coldly.
“It’s all for Master. Please forgive me.”
Yurnet closed her eyes tightly.
Muden was whistling with his hand on the back of his head, and Lidigion just lowered his head.
Only Nihaku opened his mouth.
“Anyway, isn’t it a bit harsh on Master? In fact, Sirini is the most master among us…”
[Nihaku.]
“…I’ll stay still.”
I sighed. “So, what are
you doing?” [It’s a simple seal.
So as not to be deceived by strange things.]
“Are you trying to control me?”
[I will gladly accept this punishment on the day you return as a master.]
Is it necessary to come this far?
Yes, I was hesitant to be honest. 100% Earth If I had tried to go back to Alpha Zero, I would have rejected the offer right away in the Q&A with Alpha Zero. There is also the freea case. There are other things that have adapted to life in Taoni over time. Even so, if Siris had seriously persuaded me, I would probably have gone back. ”
What did you see there?
How did you kick me out in such
a hurry? I looked around the first party.
Except for Siris, all the members avoided my gaze.
In particular, Yurnet was biting her lip with a teary expression.
[Now I will forbid all of your outside activities except for missions. Niflheim is in charge of external defense, and I will make sure there is no hindrance to missions. With your abilities, you should be able to climb the tower.] ”
…. ”
[From now on, until I return to Earth, I will deprive you of all authority related to the Master. You now…]
Siris pointed Levatein at me.
[You are no longer the Master of Niflheim.]
