Episode 387:
Blossom grabbed her head.
“why...?”
This place called Fate World was a false world. A dream space full of illusions and nothing real.
But at some point, I started to have doubts.
It started with a strange doll.
-I’d like to talk to you.
...Did I say he was the king of gourmet food?
That doll was different from other dolls. He didn’t act as planned and I couldn’t tell what he was thinking.
My head hurt every time I encountered that doll. I purposely avoided him because I was more afraid than curious.
-If it doesn’t work out in this life, maybe in the next life...
Words with no meaning.
Even in my new dream after a pounding headache, the doll did not disappear.
What do you want to talk about by doing that? It was a time when curiosity gradually suppressed fear.
-Is this a crazy true story?!
-Look at the graphics. This is truly the best ever.
-...As soon as I leave, I purchase all Meiji stocks.
‘Players’ appeared. They were ‘real people’ who appeared in a false world.
They thought and acted on their own and pioneered new paths at every moment.
Every time Blossom saw the players, she felt uncomfortable and anxious for some reason.
-I am logging out. I have to go to work early tomorrow.
And then I realized.
For them, it is not all a false world, but reality exists. When I found out that fact, my mind became even more confused.
Blossom asked herself a question.
-...Who am I?
I couldn’t answer because I couldn’t remember anything. Then, the king of gourmet food suddenly came to mind.
It suddenly occurred to me that he might know something. No, I wanted to vent these uncomfortable feelings to someone.
I found the promised place, but he wasn’t there. Instead, there was a creature that was happily wagging its tail as if it was good.
-What? It’s human!
person.
Blossom thought back to the red, plump creature’s words.
-...Can I be called human?
People are born and die.
However, Blossom had no memory of being born or experiencing death.
Even though everything changed in the dream, she remained the same.
The creature had answered.
-Hmm, if you see something that looks exactly like its owner, you know it’s a person!
Is that how I am reflected in those golden eyes?
Blossom wondered who the owner of this child was. I felt like I could guess his identity depending on whether he was a doll or a player.
And before long, Blossom was able to meet him.
-It’s been a really long time.
Player X came to the silver lake.
X, who was hiding and watching, was an unusual person.
X was more serious than anyone else in a Fate World full of lies.
In some ways, he could be said to be the person who did the most useless things.
But those useless actions.
-We will protect Fate World!
It made Blossom’s head feel numb as if it would break. A voice came out between trembling lips.
“For what...?”
X-Ro is not enough, and now all players are caught up in incomprehensible actions.
Blossom couldn’t contain her curiosity. I had a bad headache, but I felt like I could only find out the reason by watching them.
-Do you think I will subdue you gently?
-Let’s go as far as we can, kids!
-This is also a different story!
Amid the loud shouting,
there was a word that touched my heart.
-Let’s save ‘Blossom’!
Blossom.
The moment I heard it, I felt something I had never felt before.
A fragment of a forgotten memory came to mind.
The warm, soft feel of your hands. A face you can’t forget even if you want to. A nostalgic voice lingering in my ears.
-My daughter’s smile is as pretty as a flower in full bloom...
so ‘Blossom’ would be better.
“...!”
Blossom’s body shook greatly.
Her heart started pounding wildly. Starting with that memory, forgotten scenes passed by like a flash of light.
A overwhelmed voice leaked out.
“My name is... I am...”
The tip of a spear that pierces the body of a creature.
The news came from a tight-haired executive who ended up stabbing the unconscious creature.
“It looks like the X side has already reached Ruyan’s nose!”
“As expected, you are unstoppable. “That bastard.”
Starting from near the central volcano, Luyan is already right around the corner! There are probably more than five major cities we pass through along the way.
The speed of advance was unbelievable.
Songwol shed a bitter smile.
“I’m sorry, but it looks like we’re holding you back?”
The situation was struggling.
Rather than recapturing the city, they were pushing it out. It wasn’t just the collapse.
It was not enough for the players to handle the abnormal strength and quantity of the contaminated creatures.
“Evacuate the residents first!”
“Watch your feet carefully. “There may be someone hiding there disguised as a resident!”
Additionally, players had to pay attention to evacuating NPCs.
No matter how you look at it, the Xernis alliance led by X was strange.
Songwol calmly observed the situation.
‘Actually, it wouldn’t have been surprising even if it had been wiped out a long time ago.’
It was only thanks to the players that the battle line was maintained.
“Go to sleep, sleep hard, and stop it first!”
“Come at me, you bastards!”
I will enjoy Fate, which may be my last, without regrets!
Players jumped into the battlefield, prepared to die.
Without their support, the Pazukjise would have been annihilated a long time ago.
Songwol composed herself.
There is still no chance of victory.
Defeat was approaching.
However, Songwol was not afraid of his defeat.
Because individuals are weak, but
groups are strong.
“Even if I fall.”
Kuuk-!
I clenched my fists.
“We are not defeated!”
There were other large guild players behind them, and in the end, there was X, who was more trustworthy than anyone else.
“Mace!”
puck-!
I stopped thinking about complicated things.
Songwol decided to just do his best in the battle unfolding before his eyes.
Suddenly, Songwol’s movements stopped.
[Fatal blow!]
[A bleeding effect has occurred on you!]
“...You’re so damn persistent.”
The creatures spread out on the floor dealt a fatal blow.
It was a trajectory that even Seonggun’s fist could not offset.
It was probably the first time since I fought X that I had suffered this much damage.
There was no help or support.
“Damn it boss!!”
Looking at the cries, it seems like everyone is at a loss. Still, this was a pretty good performance.
“I won’t go anywhere and feel embarrassed.”
Songwol looked at the sky.
Considering the death penalty, there was a high probability that what we would see now would be Fate’s last appearance.
Because I have always lived without leaving the blood and hunting ground battlefield. Lastly, I wanted to leave in my memory a slightly different scenery.
“...!”
However, it seems that he is not the kind of person who enjoys leisure.
Shuuuuung-!
I saw huge wings covering the sky.
It’s hard.
Their flight was so brilliant and at the same time it made me tremble with fear.
At the same time, it made me deeply respect X.
“X How can you do things like that...!”
The owner of the wings is a legendary dragon!
They weren’t all. On the dragons’ backs were faces that were difficult to see on the Arba continent.
Half-human, half-beast, dwarf, black fairy, elf, and even giant spirits!
“I never thought the day would come when I would set foot on the Arba continent in my lifetime. “Even if it’s belated, I can honor the souls of my ancestors.”
“Anyway, where is X? I need to hand over new equipment...”
“Hahaha, the battlefield is full for us!”
It was the moment when reinforcements from the Severed Continent arrived on the Arba Continent.
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
