171 – Divinity (1)
The joint attack of the six magical girls created a vibration strong enough to be seen and felt from afar. Not only that, but the smoke billowed out. Anyone who sees it might be mistaken for a volcanic eruption.
Orange Altair looked at the smoke and rubbed her chin in worry.
“Ah, this is okay, right?”
Among magical girls, there are few who use magic related to ultra-long-distance sniping, which allows them to fight without facing the enemy. Orange Altair was one of those rare magical girls.
She had heard that no matter how supreme the divine power was, its effects would not reach the point of sniping. Therefore, Orange Altair was one of the few elite participants in the operation.
Other magical girls were helping citizens evacuate or dealing with reported monsters as usual.
In a way, it was a fortunate thing. Monsters don’t care about humans, and accidents can still happen somewhere while participating in other monster extermination operations.
The reason Orange Altair was anxious right now was not because the number of participants in the operation was small.
First, she was a little proud that she had been selected for this important operation, but she felt very burdened.
Second, magic was more powerful than I thought.
‘If I’m not careful, won’t I get hurt due to magic during the operation?’
The impact of the explosion can be clearly felt even from such a distance. I felt shaking in the building I was standing in.
The six magical girls will continue to attack without stopping from now on, and I was worried about whether the people in that land would be okay.
It occurred to me that the team was not formed with a small number of elites for no reason.
Orange Altair She was equally worried about her own safety. She imagined that if she were not careful, fragments of those magics could reach this place.
“Of course.”
Yellow Castor responded to such concerns in a natural tone.
“We magical girls are not that weak.”
Just as Orange Altair was her ranged assistant, so was she.
The sight of him holding a long gun and aiming was full of skill. It has a much more archaic design than the clockwork long gun used by the Watcher. The elegant gun barrel that looked like it would have been used by nobles in the past when they went out hunting and the six flower gold leaf decorations on it caught my eye.
“Oh, we’re like that too, right? But you speak informally as if it’s obvious.”
“Wasn’t I a senior? “You don’t like informal language?”
It’s a war of nerves. If you back out at a time like this, you will be treated like a brat! Orange Altair held her heart together and spoke.
“Yes, Si, what if you don’t like it?”
“Even if I don’t like you, I’ll just speak informally. If you don’t like it, speak informally too. “I don’t say anything like that.”
Hmm, Yellow Castor frowned, raising the corners of her mouth.
‘Key, key profit!! ‘I really hate this person!’
The favorability rating, which was already low, has steadily dropped. Is there at least a lack of social skills among the conditions for Japanese magical girls? How is it that every magical girl from Japan I meet is so mean? At this point, I was almost curious.
“Did you think I was a polite character for flattering Luna?”
“Lu, Luna land?”
“Why are you so cute, Luna? “When I praise you, you react well.”
It wasn’t just wearing a mask and flattering people in front of others.
Orange Altair heard Silver Luna call her in the absence of him, and realized that Yellow Castor’s affection was real.
“Don’t worry, just keep your eyes focused. Luna and I have fought together more than once. So I know. “The staff is good enough now.”
“How can you be sure of that?”
“Your Blue Sage and Red are useful, aren’t you also a rare sniper magic girl? No way, if you’re anxious because of our ping… No, the magenta kid, don’t worry. “I’m not a fool who gets caught up in magic and gets hurt.”
How can we be so sure if we only saw it briefly? Yellow Castor’s words were not deceptive but sincere.
I thought this person could win.
“But don’t relax. “Because not one person has turned on their divinity yet.”
The basis of that confidence was divinity.
Yellow Castor was the magical girl who appeared the most with Silver Luna. That is why he has seen the greatness of divinity many times up close and with his own eyes. The dizzying splendor that naturally comes to mind even when you close your eyes to sleep.
There was not a single defeat in that move. The place I visited was full of destruction, and what I achieved was death and justice. As the city collapsed, its greatness increased.
For Yellow Castor, the new star was not simply a state.
A gift from heaven.
The brilliance of God that came down to the human body.
A blessing imbued with divinity.
It was like that.
Yellow Castor was a fierce believer in the new star.
‘It may not be as good as our Luna land, but the state of divinity is not an illusion.’
Two deities gathered together. No matter how great the galaxy’s power is, it will not be able to withstand it.
No monster can stand against this power.
Yellow Castor was sure of that. No, he was fanatical.
“The moment we turn on the divinity, we will also be slightly affected.”
“Now, wait a minute. Are you that strong? Isn’t it dangerous here? “It’s better to create a little more distance…”
“This location is just right. “If we fail, this distance is a good distance to retrieve the injured magical girls and escape.”
Though he said this, the assumption of defeat did not even exist in Yellow Castor’s mind. Escape is the enemy’s job, not ours.
“And what. Even if divine starlight touches the magical girl’s body, it won’t hurt her. First of all, what if you get hurt? If you think it might be dangerous, you can increase the distance or move your location and snipe. “Have that level of flexibility.”
“Yes, yes….”
Why has it suddenly become a trend of getting scolded? Orange Altair couldn’t understand.
“Ha… Well, it will gradually get better. Sorry, I just remembered my younger brother and got emotional. He stays in one place and doesn’t think about moving, regardless of whether a monster attacks him or not. “But I’m glad you look better than him.”
Inconvenience came first rather than resentment. Her seniors were generally kind and she was almost retired now, so it was her first time dealing with this type.
“Well, if you have a younger brother, why didn’t you participate in this expedition?…”
“Didn’t you hear me? “You’re stuck still and don’t even think about moving?!”
“Oh yes yes….”
“If it’s a long distance, isn’t it basic to learn how to increase the distance? Hey, you’re not? “I raised my bow, but you don’t plan on letting me get close to you?!”
“Of course. Sure….”
Should I change the sniping point somewhere else? Orange Altair truly thought so.
**
“You idiot, that’s why I told you not to come! “What kind of idiot is a sniper and wants to engage in close combat?!”
Odette screamed loudly through the smoke. There was a crazy guy with a bow. He wanted to engage in close combat, but here he was.
It would be understandable if the enemy approached and attacked you. However, that guy decided to come down near the enemy and start archery without even 10 meters away.
I couldn’t understand this way of thinking.
“Even that orange bastard didn’t engage in close combat!”
“Who is Orange, you double b*tch! “Shut up!”
“Do you think I can shut up? “You set off fireworks and bring all the magical girls together!”
“Oh my, that’s a misunderstanding.”
Boo! A huge spear flew through the smoke. Odette had no choice but to immediately stop his swearing and avoid it.
Thanks to her quick reaction, the spear narrowly passed by her shoulder, about a width away from her.
She couldn’t see clearly because she was covered in smoke, but when she looked again, she saw that it wasn’t a window but a tree.
“We didn’t come here because of the fireworks just now. “I decided to come here from the beginning!”
She picked up the tree that had fallen in the explosion and shot it straight away.
“What an ignorant….”
“Ohhohoho, those without power often express their feelings of inferiority in that way.”
A magical girl came out of the smoke and laughed, covering her hand. Odette froze in surprise when she saw her face.
“Looking at you, you seem quite surprised. I understand. “Everyone would be surprised if they saw me.”
“Who…”
Because she was the first magical girl I had ever seen. At least none of her colleagues had a face like this. Besides, if her mental state was this unusual, she would have no choice but to remember it even if she didn’t want to know it.
“…Yes?”
Silver Luna probably didn’t guess that she was surprised because she didn’t know herself, but this time, Silver Luna froze like a stone.
“Seo, I couldn’t believe you didn’t know me… Ha, hahahaha… After all, a monster is a monster…”
“Hey, why are you ignoring me!”
She shot an arrow at her Silver Luna, where the archer froze.
“Good.”
Silver Luna lightly caught the arrow that flew at her.
“…Huh?”
Even if she didn’t shoot with all her might, it wouldn’t be an arrow worth catching. It’s even a close range shot. This was the distance where the arrow would have the most power. She caught it anyway.
“I’ll make you regret not knowing even though you knew me!”
Silver Luna ran toward Odette, holding her captured arrow like a sword.
“…!”
“It is often said that ignorance is not a sin, but….”
Hook. The wind blew, and Silver Luna’s clear eyes filled Odette’s face. The street collapsed in an instant. It was almost like I could barely breathe. The arrow in her hand marked her line.
“Ignorance of not knowing me is a sin!”
She was furious and swung her arrow like a sword. She didn’t have any great skills. All you have to do is let her anger guide you and wield her weapon. However, with that alone, the ground near Geomro was dented and the air was torn apart.
It may be an ignorant attack, but the power contained within should never be underestimated. Odette frantically dodged the attack.
“Ahahahahaha! You have a knack for dodging. But this is not my truth either. “Pick up the pace a little more…”
Silver Luna’s words could not continue. This was because the butterfly that flew while she was dodging landed on her.
“Phew.”
I sent it to a butterfly that had been placed in another city in advance. It’s a long way from here, so it’ll take quite some time to get back. Odette sighed in relief.
“What just happened?”
“Yes.”
The archer muttered in bewilderment, and Odette agreed. She was a stormy magical girl. She was arrogant, but she had strength to match her arrogance.
That made her even more strange. There’s no way she wouldn’t know the name of a magical girl like that. Not a recent rookie. If that had been the case, it would have been widely reported on the news.
“…Ah.”
After thinking carefully about the magical girls, Odette came to know her identity.
“Japan! “She’s the most popular magical girl in Japan!”
“Who? “Is that him from earlier?”
From noble mtl dot com
“Yes, he is…..”
Odette continued her words and stopped as she looked at the traces drawn in the sky. The same silver waves she saw earlier. The lines that split the clouds and spread across the sky were like the brush marks of a master artist drawn on drawing paper.
“No sh*t.”
Quaaang-!
Soon a silver ball of light touched the ground, and the world shook as it had just moments ago. The dirt rippled and the acrid smoke grew as if it were multiplying.
“I never thought I would have that kind of ability. “It was uncharacteristic of me to let down my guard.”
The moon sparkled in the smoke. There was no moon in the sky right now, but it was safe to say that those eyes were shining in the sky.
“Then, now I will punish you properly. “Bad monsters.”
Silver Luna took a stance.
“We cannot sit idly by and watch the evil deeds of colluding with galactic beasts and trying to disrupt the world!”
“…What?”
**
“Like a comet in your heart!”
Fireworks bloomed brightly with the familiar opening line. The dust that touched the heat turned into sparks that decorated Red Vega like flower petals.
Red Vega, clad in flames, approached the Watcher.
“Why are you here!”
The Watcher looked at her in confusion.
“As expected, you were there too.”
The arrival of a magical girl. It was what I expected. The moment you find out about the scorpion, you won’t be able to sit idly by.
But it appeared much sooner than expected. This is a wasteland quite far from a major city. It takes quite some time to find out.
Furthermore, due to the nature of Scorpio, it bothered me that even though several alter egos would be distributed throughout the city, they came exactly here.
The first magical girl to arrive. That figure must be Silver Luna.
If a Japanese magical girl came, it would be worth it. That is the country that suffered the most damage from scorpions.
Red Helios alone has suffered severe damage from Scorpio.
“No way, to use Scorpio…!”
“That’s not me, it’s someone else.”
The Watcher pointed at Contradiction and Botis with her chin. The scorpion in between was still motionless.
As their eyes met, Contradiction and Botis simultaneously waved their hands in this direction. The gesture was so needlessly affectionate and warm that the Watcher was horrified.
“…Really? “You seem a bit friendly.”
“Do it in moderation.”
“Vega!”
The temperature that rose due to the heat of the flame was neutralized. When I turned my gaze to follow the worried voice, I saw a woman in blue walking along a path filled with snowflakes.
“…Sirius.”
“…Watcher.”
The two froze as they looked at each other. If it had been like this, Blue Sirius would have poured out his hatred towards the Watcher and the Watcher would have had no time to defend it.
Today, strangely enough, Blue Sirius had an awkward attitude.
‘Awkward….’
Even though they are called monsters, they once fought together. His life was even saved a few times. Blue Sirius, who is basically a very affectionate person, could not abandon this past and hate it blindly.
So it was awkward. This is my first time seeing a monster that I can’t hate.
How should I treat it? That was the only thought that lingered in my head.
“…Oh, it’s been a long time.”
“We’re not even friends.”
Watcher chuckled.
“Si, be loud!”
Blue Sirius’ face turned red from embarrassment.
“But why are you here? No way….”
“Probably not. “I generally have the same goals as you guys.”
“That’s right!”
Red Vega nodded his head in agreement. Blue Sirius glared at Red Vega. Red Vega, who received attention, closed his mouth.
“It will probably be the same this time too.”
When Blue Sirius heard those words, he sighed and stepped next to the Watcher.
“I guess I’ll have to postpone dealing with you this time too.”
“It’s always been like that, so what? Oh, now that I think about it, you didn’t believe what the monster said, did you?”
“Shut up. I’m not believing it. “It’s a matter of putting it off as a priority.”
“In the end, my words are believed by those who believe them.”
“I told you to shut up? Do you want to split your face first?”
Blue Sirius answered coldly.
“Then it has been decided. I’m planning to get through those guys and kill those bugs first. “What are your complaints?”
“Nothing.”
“Nothing!”
“Of course not!”
Jason answered calmly. The Watcher looked back at him with a slightly reluctant attitude.
“Jason are you okay? “You will have to take care of your life in this melee.”
“No problem! “Trust me!”
“Well, if you are.”
Just as the four people were about to step forward at the same time, another person walked out from the clouded smoke.
“…Monster?”
A cute tall girl with pink hair tied into a side tail. No matter how young the average age of a magical girl was, she had a particularly young appearance. Will she be in the upper grades of elementary school? No matter how high you estimate her, she looks like a middle school student.
“There, away. “Because it’s dangerous.”
She gathered starlight in her hands as if she was about to attack. The momentum was unusual. Her hands were filled with a red light as thick as molten iron.
“…Helios?”
The Watcher muttered while looking at her.
“What?”
“Oh my.”
Then she closed her mouth. When I saw that in person, I was so surprised that the name naturally came out.
‘If I knew the name as soon as I saw it, I would be suspicious…’
As expected, Magenta Helios broke his expressionless expression and looked at the Watcher with confused eyes.
“Well, as soon as I saw that name…”
And then Contradiction and Botis, who had been standing still, cut her off and opened her mouth.
“Well, we still don’t have enough people. Bo, is this okay?”
“Okay, no problem.”
Before answering Helios’ question, Botis’ sword was swung first.
“Let’s cut it short here.”
Kagagagak! The sword wind rushed in, leaving a huge mark on the ground. With a bloody sword. The moment it touches that wind, your body will be split as if you were cut by a sword. Everyone scattered and avoided the sword.
As the right hand moved, the two left hands naturally also moved. As I swung the spear, countless sharp slashes were fired in the horizontal direction. When he swung his club, a huge invisible baton fell from the sky, leaving rough marks on the ground.
Jang Byeong-gi’s martial arts, filled with starlight, was able to unleash its ferocity, ignoring the distance of Jang Byeong-gi.
Watcher slashed the approaching sword wind with the claws on his hands, dodged it, and ran toward the scorpion at the shortest distance possible. The only hand he used to reach him was his right hand.
He was collecting thunderbolts in his left hand. As the distance closed, the Watcher unleashed his thunderbolt without control.
Boom! Gurgling!
White lightning struck towards the scorpion. Dube’s power was weaker than that of Ursa Major, but it was enough to break that shell and roast its insides.
But the lightning did not reach the scorpion and scattered. A spear with a shield-shaped blade. This is because that strange spear collected the lightning and threw it straight into the ground.
It was a contradiction.
Watcher didn’t care and ran towards the scorpion again.
Chaeng! The spear and claw collided.
“What are we going to do now?”
“I feel sorry if you ignore me.”
“Like you said, he’s playing along with the game. “Don’t get in the way and get out of the way.”
“You can’t do that.”
The spear gained strength and the claw was pushed. For a moment, their balance was shaken, and the two took a slight step back, widening the distance between them.
“I never once said that I would let you deal with Scorpion, right?”
“Ha.”
“If you catch Scorpio, I will be the one who dies. Please be respectful.”
Chaeng! Whip! The spear and claw collided and fell repeatedly.
“This is sophistry.”
“Because he’s a monster.”
It was a meaningless confrontation. If things continue like this, the fight will just repeat itself endlessly. Watcher put his hands on his belt.
“But you. Do you plan to cooperate to defeat Scorpion?”
“Are you dissatisfied?”
“No. Is that possible? But… It is not a recommended method.”
Mosun also rolled down the window and took a breath.
“This game is winner-takes-all… Only the winner takes everything. “It is a system in which everything Scorpio has collected so far is subordinated to the person who killed him.”
Contradiction shook her head in pity.
“To put it another way. “If someone other than you kills Scorpio, your life will also be passed on to that person.”
“….”
“If your life was taken away by your collaborators, you would be in quite a bit of trouble…”
Contradiction laughed, clinking her fingers together.
“Aha, this problem can be solved by killing all your collaborators.”
“You’d better just shut up.”
If we continue like this, our lifespan will further decrease.
Flashing. A strong silver energy emanated from the back.
‘Silver Luna has turned on her divinity.’
Accordingly, Watcher also replaced the belt parts. Sharp teeth and bear-shaped lenses for a more ferocious look.
[I obey my fate.]
[URSA MAJOR.]
“Would you please keep your mouth shut for 10 seconds?”
[START UP.]
