Chapter 193 - – Machine Angel’s Return

But this time it’s different. The magic signatures felt more completed. Making me unsure of what to do.

[That’s…]

When I looked up, the sky was seemingly covered by a diaphanous blue sheet. It grew from the ground up, seeking to entrap the entire capital in a dome-shaped cage.

Both me and Eris were back to back.

[Shouldn’t the defense system have been activated when we first entered the area?]

[I do not know. Someone might have deliberately delayed the activation until now.]

[Could it be… Dad]

[Status drop!?]

[The shroud seems to have a significant debuffing effect on the intruders.]

[The spatial leap is going faster!]

[The overall abilities seems to have been improved. That blue glow must be empowering it.]

[Are you sure… you can still go on?]

[Yes. No problem. No need to worry about me.]

[But you…]

[No need to be concerned about me. Nothing else you can do about it. Instead, focus more on what is ahead of us.]

[Alright. Eris… I believe in the real Eris inside you.]

[…let us proceed]

When I heard it, I had a hard time believing it. I always thought that there’s only one future. That’s why one should work hard and think carefully before choosing a path.

But that rule didn’t seem to apply to this sacred beast Gemini. It’s ability allowed it to pick the best possible outcome.

[As long as it’s not zero, we can still fight.]

[Eris, stay close to me.]

[Yes. We have only one chance.]

With Myne’s help, I’d been trying to improve my mastery over this weapon. I almost gave up many times due to how difficult it was to handle, and how I often nearly killed Myne when I failed to control the weapon. I had to apologize to her a lot because of the repeated mistakes.

But thanks to that, I should be able to wield the weapon in actual combat now. There’s still the possibility of friendly fire, but it’s alright as long as my allies stay behind me.

[Fate-sama, here it comes!]

Roaring loudly at almost the same time, the machine angels launched various kinds of wide-area elemental magic. The sight looked almost like a colorful flower blooming in the sky.

With my arms outstretched to the sky, I began circulating magic power to the black gauntlets.

[Chop them down!!]

[I’ll eat all of you!]

The inorganic voice echoed in my mind continuously. Informing me of enormous status gain after eating that many machine angels at once.

I felt blood gushing out from my left eye. As expected. Even in such good shape…eating so many machine angels still took a toll on me.

Using the enormous amount of stat that I just obtained, I activated the secret technique of the fifth form.

[Greed, my stats! Take it away!]

[Dimension Destruction!]
