Part 4

And so it was, shortly after Iris and I arrived in the sky above Aunen.

Several flashes of lightning flashed across the purple sky.

What happened?

I involuntarily stopped in place and turned my gaze toward the royal capital. Of course, I couldnt see anything from here because it was quite a distance away.

That lightning is kind of ominous.

Iris said as she came up to me.

Shouldnt you go back to the royal capital? Ill talk to the Adventurers Guild in Aunen.

Can I ask you to do that?

I have to admit that I have a strange feeling in my heart.

Yes, Ill be fine. Ill see you later.

Yeah, see you later.

After confirming that Iris had landed in front of the Adventurers Guild in Aunen, I deactivated the Divine Speed Blessing EX for her.

Then, I started to move at full speed toward the royal capital.

Breaking wind and breaking through the sound barrier, I moved forward, forward, forward.

Eventually, after crossing the sea, the royal capital came into view in the distance.

In the sky was the figure of Zogral.

Since my magic power had decreased considerably, I drank a flying potion and then canceled [Space-Time Domination].

While maintaining my flying state due to the effect of the flying potion, I approached Zogral.

The golden-colored barrier encircling its entire body was still intact, but there was a crack in one spot.

This is an emergency.

The Greedy Dragons barrier is being broken.

It seems that Zogral is attempting to break through the barrier by concentrating its power in one place.

Thats not good. What should we do?

Search for ways to suppress Zogral.

Search complete.

Kou Kousaka has gained the ability to control space-time, and a new recipe has been unlocked.

For the glove that Leticia di Meteor wears on her fist and the Yggdrasil Bow held by Lily Luna Lunaria, you can create a weapon that suppresses the power of Zogral with [Creation] with the designated recipe for each.

However, both of them will have to plunge inside Zogral and then exercise the power of the weapon to make it effective.

Pardon me? I was surprised at the unexpected response.

Kou-sama!

Kou-san!

I heard Leticia and Lilys voices.

Leticia was flying with the power of the flying potion, and Lily was flying with the power of the God of War, and both were quickly gaining altitude and coming to me.

I had a bad feeling when I saw the lightning earlier.

Was there something wrong?

Yeah. Look at that.

I said and pointed to a crack in the barrier.

The barrier may be broken earlier than expected.

Thats not good.

Cant we hold Zogral back?

Thats its not impossible.

I was hesitant to answer.

The reason is that the two of them need to be inside that barrier, or in other words, inside of Zogral.

I was reluctant to let Leticia and Lily jump into a dangerous place alone.

As I was having a hard time, Leticia reached out her hands toward me and held my face between hers from both sides.

Kou-sama, you seem to have something you want to say but cant quite say it, dont you?

The Extreme Archery of the God of War S+ converts Lilys magical power into arrows and shoots them, and the principle seems to be the same as that of the magic sword Grams God of War Slash S+.

The Blessing of the God of War S+ further boosts Lilys magical power and Resists Emptiness EX and Fake Mastery of Time and Space A+ seem to have the same effect as Yarn Grapple.

When I took out the Creation Bow from the [Item Box], the shape was almost the same as Yggdrasils Bow, but the color had changed to pure white, and it was covered with a divine radiance.

It is beautiful.

Lily sighed in admiration as she looked at the bow.

Thank you, Kou-san.

No, Im sorry for making you work so hard. [Full Assist] says that the two of you can delay Zogral from breaking through the barrier.

As soon as I said that, the voice of [Full Assist] echoed in my mind.

The specific procedure will now be installed in both of their brains.

May I ask you to put your hands on their heads?

All right, hold on a second.

When I told them what I had heard from [Full Assist], they nodded their heads readily.

So you mean you are going to pat us on the head as a parting gift to us, right?

No, its different.

Well, thats a joke.

Leticia chuckled.

It would be helpful if you could explain to us how things work from here. Well, go ahead.

Its fine with me, too.

Leticia and Lily lean forward a little and turn their heads toward me.

Lets do it, then.

I put my left hand on Lilys head and my right hand on Leticias head.

Now, lets do a fast installation.

Completed.

Youre as fast as ever.

When I was surprised, Leticia and Lily shouted.

Hyah!

Kyah!

It seems that both of them were surprised at the amount of information in the high-speed installation.

Its a strange feeling, isnt it?

My head was filled with text and images.

Is everything all right?

No problem. Its rather refreshing to have a clear idea of what I need to do from here.

Yes. And then Ill be on my way.

All right. Take care.

Of course. Then please be sure to pick us up.

We believe in you, Kou-san.

The two of them then headed toward the barrier and quickly entered through the cracks in it.

Soon after

The lightning that had been leaking from the barrier stopped, and the cracks were closed.

The two are probably fighting against Zogral with the Greedy Dragon right now.

Im sorry.

And thank you.

I estimate that the barrier will last until tomorrow night.

The time limit is approximately 30 hours.

Understood.

However, the more time that passes the more burden Leticia and Lily will have to bear, so we will rush over there even if we have to move up our schedule once the item to defeat Zogral is completed.

I agree.

I, too, feel distressed that I am forcing the girls to do too much. .wordads-ad-wrapper {display:none;font: normal 11px Arial, sans-serif;letter-spacing: 1px;text-decoration: none;width: 100%;margin: 25px auto;padding: 0;}.wordads-ad-title {margin-bottom: 5px;}.wordads-ad-controls {margin-top: 5px;text-align: right;}.wordads-ad-controls span {cursor: pointer;}.wordads-ad {width: fit-content;margin: 0 auto;}
