Chapter 22: Dalian (6)
Jamie's eyes widened at the hawks' absurd remarks.
Congrats on becoming a sword master out of nowhere.
'Am I the Sword Master?'
In the already confusing situation, the words added to the confusion.
Jamie's head was still dizzy as he saw several identical spaces overlapping each other.
Could this phenomenon be a power?
Then I thought it was pretty boring.
Where in the world is there a power that cannot be controlled?
And, somehow, he wounded Hawks' fist, but he still didn't understand the principle.
"Let's close Mana for now."
At that moment, Isis' voice came from behind.
I wondered if I could feel her touch on her back, and the key blood vessels began to close as if they were blocked with a stopper.
The mana supplied from the mana core was cut off like a lie.
The countless spaces that disturbed my mind and the images of myself moving there disappeared like a lie.
"Whoa."
Jamie sighed as if exhausted and squatted down.
Soon after, he raised his head slightly and looked around.
There was no longer the phenomenon of multiple spaces overlapping, but the normal vision felt awkward.
And for some reason, hallucinations appeared as if other selves were doing different things here and there.
"Do you know what happened?"
At Isis' question, Jamie turned her head and looked at her.
She watched the match against the Hawks from start to finish.
As the Grand Master is a higher level skill, he must have discovered something other than what he felt.
Jamie explained to them the strange phenomenon he had been experiencing.
"Same space It looked like several overlapping. I was in each space, and I was dealing with the Hawks in a completely different way. All the attacks failed, but at the last moment, unlike the ones that failed, there was a scene where the attack succeeded. When I woke up, I was the owner of the scene It is. I don't think it makes sense even if I say it.
"Is that the number of cases?"
"Number of cases?"
"You seem to have a higher level ability than that, but in my eyes you were seen as multiple people."
"I didn't feel that way."
Hawks tilted his head and said.
I knew Jamie was using her powers because I had competed in person, but there was no such thing as a broken body.
"Little said so. They probably don't feel like they're going to face each other in person."
"Then, is it a power in the form of division?"
"If that were the case, the Hawks would have felt it too. number of cases. So, in my eyes, Jamie, you seem to be picking the best moves to take down the Hawks. What appeared to be several is probably 'afterimages'."
"I see what you mean."
Hawks nodded seriously.
"Your last attack. The attack was obviously so fast that it was hard for me to react. It wasn't even a quick sword concept. It's hard to explain in words, but it suddenly appeared in front of me. It felt like that."
As Hawks said, Jamie was doing something she wasn't aware of at the last minute.
"It might be ."
Jamie and Hawks looked at Isis.
Isis said.
"It may be your appearance in multiple universes or parallel worlds."
* * *
late night.
Jamie was sitting alone on the roof meditating.
Mostly it was a retrospective of what had happened in the morning.
"Multiverses, or parallel worlds."
I once studied about him.
It was a time when I was clinging to space-time magic, and as research progressed, I even hypothesized that there might be a different world like this one.
couldn't prove it
It was also a difficult study, because the cost performance was bad.
Even if it proves that it exists, it was not easy to graft it into magic.
There was no shortage of resources right now, and there were 12 gods at the time, so we needed magic that we could use right away.
For this reason, the multidimensional theory had to be abandoned.
I haven't thought about multidimensional theory since then.
However, I thought that Siegfried, who specializes in space-time magic, might have studied the multidimensional theory to some extent.
Of course, I was just thinking, I didn't mean to ask him directly.
'It's not like I know what to do. It may not be a real multiverse or parallel world-related power.'
The number of cases Isis spoke of is probably correct.
Previously, it was difficult to grasp the situation because there was no economic situation, but when I think back on it, the overlapping spaces were producing similar but different results.
It was as if he embodied a number battle going on in his head.
And the image of himself who made the best choice among them was directly overlapped and became a reality.
no way Have you awakened such power by engaging in a water battle?"
That's what I thought, but then a snort came out.
Does it make any sense to get the power just by concentrating on it for just one day?
I heard that the powers you acquire as you become a master are often related to the person's identity.
So, it meant that there was no case where a completely meaningless power was born.
"In a way, that's right."
Although Jamie wasn't a space-time wizard like Siegfried, he used space-related powers no less than that.
Gremia was a piece of equipment that created a new space, Beyond Avalon is a staff that connects to the other side of the world, White Sea is a space-controlling technique, and a short sword is a family's arcane swordsmanship that cuts through space.
As such, Jamie had a lot of power related to space.
In such a situation, I realized the importance of fighting.
Perhaps all of them interlocked and the present power was born.
"Activate."
When Jamie opened his eyes, he saw the world overlapping.
There were places where a gentle wind blew and heavy rain poured, and there were places where the sky was bright and clear.
Every Jamie Welton present there was sitting cross-legged, staring at the scenery.
One of them slowly drew his long sword and stood it parallel to his body.
Black mana was overlaid on the blade, and the purple auror blade flashed at the same time as a flash of purple.
Right.
All of a sudden, Jamie had become Jamie from another space, who gave birth to an auror with black mana.
He smiled as he looked at the fluttering purple Auror Blade.
"The name of the power is ."
Having made the decision, Jamie stood up and said:
"Future Walker."
* * *
As the day dawned, I visited Isis.
come out?
She asked with a puzzled face.
Jamie nodded.
"Aren't we supposed to face the best players at the end of the tour competition?"
"Only with a sword?"
Sure.
"Should I call this brave? ."
"Don't talk and come out. Let's go with full power this time.
Saying so, Jamie pulled out a long sword and showed off a purple aura.
Seeing this, Isis narrowed her eyes and smiled.
"Are you awake? But, it's difficult if you're just that strong enough~"
"It's not like there's anything special about it. It's because I can't think of anyone other than that person who can definitely accept my 'Future Worker'."
"Hey. Did you just come up with a name? Future Walker... . Huh. It suits you very well. However.
Isis raised her left hand and waved her finger.
"I still can't deal with this body."
what? Are you avoiding it?"
"No, you are avoiding it. There is someone better suited than me."
"Are you the right guy?"
Isis waited for a while and headed somewhere.
Then, after a while, I brought someone... .
"Princess, are you kidding me?"
It was Clark, the commander of the Frontier and another Lan clan.
He was staring at Isis with a very uncomfortable face.
On the other hand, Isis smiled and said to him.
"Try this opportunity for yourself. Don't just complain."
"Why do I have to do such a troublesome thing?"
"Will you change your mind if you see it in person?"
At Isis's expression, which only smiled and stared terrifyingly, Clark clicked his tongue and looked at Jamie.
He said.
"I may die."
"These are I keep using my sword, so do you know that I am a real Hogu?"
huh. Follow me."
Clark didn't even listen and disappeared somewhere.
The speed was so great that he lost his movement for a moment.
Jamie, who sighed, sensed a presence and tried to follow, but Isis warned.
"Clark is stronger than me. Huh. He's stronger than me.
"Not bad."
ha?
"If you're going to watch, follow me soon."
Jamie said so and teleported after Clark.
Isis, who was left alone, stood still with a puzzled expression on her face, and then smiled softly.
"It's also fun. It's fun, Jamie Welton.
She screamed and ran towards the two distant signs.
"Go together!"
* * *
Clark stopped at the place where he had a battle with the Hawks.
I didn't know that I would choose this place for Dalian.
He turned and looked at Jamie and Isis, who had been following them.
"I don't know why I have to do things like Dalian from the morning breeze ."
He said, looking at Jamie with disgruntled eyes.
"Maybe it would have been better. Princess, watch. Prove that the man you expect is nothing."
You've been talking nonsense ever since. I will pluck out that tongue."
"Both of you stop. Let the fight be done with your own body."
Isis intervened between them and stood in the middle.
And I started explaining the rules.
"There are no rules. Don't kill each other, and if you think something bad is going to happen, let them abstain. And I know that because I will intervene if I see a serious situation coming up. And this match... ."
Isis took a step back and looked at them in turn.
"It's an all-out war. then Fight!"
As soon as the signal fell, Clark slammed to the ground.
His new form disappeared like a lie.
"It's over."
A voice came from right below.
He reached Jamie's footsteps and wrapped the Auror around his clenched fists.
As long as Isis had declared an all-out war, I had no intention of looking at it.
Rather, it was meant to knock him down with a single blow and make him realize that Jamie Welton was a worthless person.
"If it was just yesterday, I would have suffered like this."
Zeng!!
Clark's eyes widened.
His fists were touching the sword, not the abdomen.
Jamie smiled as he felt the blade tremble.
"I, who exists in multiple dimensions, ultimately comes down to one."
The purple aura blade soars.
Clarke deflected the sword that was aiming at his neck by rotating his right forearm.
At the same time, he spread his left palm out wide.
Jamie's eyes widened as she looked at the palm of her left hand that was filled with terrifying power.
[Future Walker]
The purple aura blade is reborn as a dazzling light.
It's a 'starlight'.
Every Jamie Welton present in countless spaces created a light.
[Let there be light]
flash-!!
The light of the holy light that spreads widely.
Clarke escaped from the light, wrapping his entire body in mana.
But even that couldn't break free from 'Future Walker'.
how ?"
He grabbed the sword that stabbed in from above with both palms.
Jamie spread her pure white wings on her back and lit up the light again.
Clark's eyes widened at the power of the Holy Light that crushed his whole body.
"Don't admit it. The princess had a reason to choose. However!
An ominous energy began to flow from Clark's body.
At that moment, the alarm went off in every space that appeared as a 'Future Walker'.
Every Jamie Welton is torn to shreds.
There was no choice in front of that overwhelming power.
'Did you say you are stronger than Isis?'
Indeed, it is such a subversive power that the words come out of nowhere.
said Clark.
"Show me. This is my power."
[Annihilation Game]
The crimson energy that destroys everything began to erase the power of the Holy Light as if a lightning bolt was spreading out.
"Kneel before this power."
Clarke threw out the first ticket wearing a 'play of ruin'.
Jamie didn't dodge.
He stood still and did not look away from his fist.
Isis screams and runs to this place.
Countless blue shields floated around her.
But it was late.
Clark's fist will smash Jamie's head.
no!!
Isis exclaimed, and the red waves of the 'play of ruin' spurted out enough to upset the heavens and the earth.
That was the moment.
exactly. It's a formidable force."
[Sword of Fusion]
However ."
In the red wave, the starlight sparkled even more dazzlingly.
Like hope that blooms in despair.
"So there is a possibility."
[Convergence]
The red wave of 'Destruction Game' is sucked into the sword.
blah-
There was a crack in the sword.
Even though it was an excellent long sword made by Iron Reel, it was impossible to fully capture its destructive power.
However, that's fine.
"Give me back."
The red wave of Ruin Yu-hee, fused with Sung-gwang, was shot in reverse, aiming at Clark.
The blade broke.
However, the two forces, united by 'convergence', sprinted without stopping.
Clark muttered as he saw the force that was rushing into him, which was his own but no longer exists.
"It's amazing. was it like this perhaps ."
The words did not go to the end.
The two auras fused together were not enough to engulf him, and they devoured the whole area by going further for several kilometers.
Isis and Frontier's officers, watching from afar, could not speak for a while.
