last post apocalypse

"I have already begun to adapt to this power. As for you, do you have the awareness to face the tragic future ahead?"

Dolly pointed her sword at Furategawa's nose.

It looked like plastic, but exuded an unusually sharp blade, which stopped right in front of the tip of his nose.

He could confirm with his toes that his visor, which was condensed from the fire element, couldn't even block it.

But the man's eyes hidden under the mask contained a trace of pity.

"Awakening, it doesn't matter whether you live or die. When I chose to become a magician and gave up my knight status, I have already made up my mind. Conversely, I want to ask you, have you made up your mind?"

"what?"

"What I mean is, after your achievements are shattered together with your dreams. What kind of mentality should you use to live?"

Chapter 62. The Enemy and the Enemy Are of the Same Origin

It was obviously Haruto Furutegawa's desperate situation, but Dolly Redruds felt the crisis instead.

I don't know how to describe the emotion, like a sticky mist sticking to every inch of skin.The chill penetrates into the heart and spleen from the outside to the inside.

She raised her sword and slashed at Furategawa, but Furategawa had already struck before that.

With his hand with rings of four colors, red, yellow, blue, and green, he inserted deeply into Dolly's chest, and grasped the contents with force.

That's the most important organ in humans, the heart.

No misses, no cuts, no bleeding.Rather than inserting it, it was more like reaching directly into the chest cavity through the skin, ribs and muscles.

The face under Dolly's mask became stunned, even though she knew that she would be refreshed even if she died.But her heart was pinched hard, and the fear from the unknown still made her feel unspeakable fear.

"Ah ah ah ah ah----!!!"

In the screams of panic.

Dolly's blade slashed across Guatechuan's body. At this moment, she had no idea what would happen to her plan after Guatechuan was killed.

She doesn't care anymore.

Like a little girl ruled by death and fear.

The sharp blade sliced ​​through the air, and the frighteningly long sword energy flew out for a kilometer in one breath, and finally opened a huge black crack in the distant space.

However, Furutegawa was unscathed.

"How could it be, impossible!!!"

Dory swung the sword like crazy, but the blade sliced ​​through Furutegawa's body like cutting through water.As if cutting a phantom, Dolly couldn't hurt him at all.

Is it a hallucination?

But the touch on the heart is real.

Or special magic?

Impossible, if there is such a magic, Furutegawa would have used it long ago!

"What the hell did you do!!!"

"Are you surprised? But it's only natural. He's obviously a scientist on the science side, but he puts his hand into the magic side without authorization. It's normal to not understand the current situation."

Furutegawa said in a calm tone.

"This is the price of using the Philosopher's Stone. The Philosopher's Stone is the product of equivalent exchange. You try to use supernatural power to solve the affairs of the normal world, which itself is a kind of distortion. For example, the incident this morning It's an example of getting out of control."

"..."

Dolly gritted her teeth and threw away the knife in her hand.

Pull out the cassette from the belt and prepare to insert it into the decisive slot for releasing the big move.

But Furutegawa only exerted a little force on his hands, and Dolly fell down with a wail.

"I admit that the power you use is countless times stronger than mine, but that is only the power you stole. Under the armor, you are still a weak scientist. The pain of a squeezed heart can make you lose your ability Motivation. However, I will not kill you, I know that after you die, you will be resurrected elsewhere."

Of course, there are drawbacks to doing so.

If Dolly committed suicide... But obviously, she didn't have the guts.In other words, Dolly would not commit suicide hastily until she figured out how Furutegawa managed to break through her absolute defense.

She tried to hug Furutegawa's arm, but found helplessly that her arm couldn't touch him either.

It seems that except for the hand holding his heart, other parts are just projections.

Wait, projection?

Dolly gradually calmed down

"You hide yourself in another dimension, no, it should be phase."

"Well, almost."

Furutegawa did not deny it.

But with such an ambiguous tone, Dolly instantly understood his hidden intentions.

"You're lying. You said the same thing a year ago before you tried to stop the Houkai Beast by committing suicide."

"..."

"Don't think I'm a fool, you guys are just scaring me."

Dolly regained her senses, her IQ is back online.

"You were wearing a ring of four elements just now. You only need one ring for each transformation. Even if you switch forms, you just switch rings. Why did you do this? What kind of magic, Do you need four rings together? After thinking about it, there is only an enchantment."

The elemental barrier, Dolly's research on it is second only to Furutegawa's research on it.

Enclose the enemy and oneself in a closed space, an enchantment that can only be broken if one party dies or the caster actively disarms.

To put it bluntly, my own game enchantment was also established in the same way.It's just that during the setting, the fluctuation of the monster was changed to the fluctuation of Furutegawa's vitality.

"You just compressed the elemental barrier on the surface of your body, and then locked my heart and you inside. Because the elemental barrier cuts you out of this world, so my attack can't hit you, yes How about this."

"...As expected, he is the only genius scientist in the past 70 years against entropy. If you have the talent of a capable person, you must be able to grow into a top powerhouse like Walter Joyce or Dr. Einstein .”

Gu Techuan sighed, talent and talent are two different things.

Dolly is the kind of person whose 'brain says it' but 'body can't do it'.

"At first, I was worried that something bad would happen if I opened the barrier again in the barrier. But I didn't expect that I won the bet."

"Win the bet? How long can your magic power last? Hurry up and admit defeat, Furutegawa. My previous attack, and the damage caused to you by the fantasy gospel offensive just now. How many ribs do you have unbroken, and your internal organs have begun to bleed, right?" .How long can you last without the healing of the water elemental ring? I won, Furutokawa Haruto!"

"...Did you win..."

Under Furutegawa's mask, it had actually turned blood red.Forcibly squeezing life force into magic power, Haruto Furudegawa knew what consequences he was facing.

"If it was me who died a year ago, would you relax a little?"

"what?"

"I was the one who turned you into a monster."

Dolly's face became very ugly.

Furutegawa slowly expressed his guess.

"There are actually two doubts about your statement. I already know the first one. What is the origin of the disaster you caused along the way? What is the seed of the source of the power you possess, the power to transform virtuality into reality? Undoubtedly, it is also the Stone of the Sage.”

"..."

"If you guess correctly, it should be the one I gave you in the frontline base a year ago. The magic power I left on it gave birth to the original power. It gave you the ability to turn virtualization into reality. If only I hadn't been damn guilty, I'd have found out sooner."

Furutegawa opened the mouth and said.

"So, I am the source of all this."

Chapter 63, Mr. Kamijou is starting

Falling from a height of 1000 meters to the broken roof of the Driven Armor Research Institute, Walter gasped.

Pills this time.

Drive armor production workshop, large-scale drive armor production workshop, and super-large drive armor assembly workshop, energy research and development room, new material research and development room... Various instruments, smashed drive armor, plus precious materials, etc. .

If you count the delayed customer orders, and the compensation to Academy City this time, etc.

The loss may exceed 50 billion.

"Unfortunately..."

Walter smiled wryly and jumped down from the deep hole that Kamijou hit.

There are leaked Houkai energy everywhere, and even spots have appeared in some places.

Fortunately, because of the accident a year ago, anti-entropy strengthened the practice of internal collapse engines.All areas equipped with Honkai energy engines are reinforced with Honkai energy magic circles.

However, even if buildings can be repaired, people cannot be restored to their original state.

Because the rift in the heart cannot be healed.

----------

a year ago.

In northern Siberia, the Honkai heavily infected area.

Anti-entropy 017 outpost, combatants lounge.

"I will go with you."

There were several holes on his body, and the individual combat uniform equipped with anti-entropy was taken off to the side, and Haruto Furudegawa, who was only wearing a blue uniform, heard the voice behind him.

"I'll go with you..."

Dolly Rhett stood up with her knees propped up. The heat supply had already stopped due to the stop of the energy circulation system. Now every time she took a breath, there was a feeling that the alveoli were about to freeze.

The white breath made her glasses white, so she took them off and put them in her pocket.

His pale golden hair stuck to his pale face because of blood.The white coat with a broken hem was left by several comrades before they died.In his pocket was a child's fountain pen that looked completely out of date for his age.

she said tremblingly.

"Even if I stay here, I'll freeze to death in less than half an hour. It's better to go out with you. At least I still have one hand to grab before I die."

"......it is good."

Although I know, I will follow myself to lose and die.

But Guatechuan nodded after pondering for a while.

The Houkai Beast and the Dead Warriors have invaded the base, and the concentration of the surrounding Houkai energy has also increased.Although, due to the transformation of Dolly's body, the resistance to collapse is far beyond that of ordinary people.

But in this case, keeping Dolly here is tantamount to letting her die.

"Come on, by the way, you take this."

As a result, Dolly saw a red crystal-like stone in the palm of Guatechuan's throw.

"The Philosopher's Stone, the source of my strength. But I haven't fully mastered the usage of this thing until now, hehe, if I master it, it won't be like this."

Furutegawa let out a hollow laugh that was worse than crying.

"Now I can only use it as a battery, and simply engraved a fire-attribute magic circle on it. If you hold it, it won't be too cold."

"It's true...but why didn't you show it at that time?"

"...I just thought of it."

Furutegawa scratched his chin and said embarrassedly.

"Okay, let's go."

"kindness."

Two people who had lost everything supported each other and walked towards the central energy furnace surrounded by Houkai beasts.

Even if they die, they must avenge their comrades who died in the base.

----------

"...Ah, that's what happened."

Furutegawa couldn't see Dolly's expression under the mask, but he could hear her trembling voice.
