Chapter 201 – True Self
『What are you doing! Incoming attack』
Envy’s voice pulled me back to reality. I was still fighting the demon Kairos.
[Damn.]
The fact that I wasn’t concentrating there frustrated me.
『You’re acting strange. Please concentrate on the battle first』
[I know that.]
The more I fought the demon Kairos, the more my consciousness was pulled in by this world――the gluttony skill. It’s not what I’m consciously doing.
I was forced to do so if I have to be more exact.
『Sorry to say this, but I will have to leave you in a place like this. I have to return to Eris soon. 』
『Or else, you’ll kill us.』
[What?!]
『There is no doubt that the functions of the Imperial City have actually started. The utilization rate of defense systems is increasing. The battle is intensifying. But more than that, your being poses more danger to everyone’s lives.』
[No way… I’m still here…]
『You went out of control. I should’ve said it sooner. And it’s getting worse the longer we stay here.』
『You went out of control upon defeating the sacred beastkin. Your disposition changed afterward. And making things worse, the defense system of the imperial capital also activated』
『Eris somehow could sense you inside the monster you have become. So here I am to honor her wish』
[And, she is now?]
『…..fighting you on her own』
Eris was largely a support fighter. I don’t think she could go toe to toe against me, not to mention now that my body had turned feral.
[What about Roxy and Myne?]
『Last time I checked, they have not joined the fight yet.』
[I really am too full of myself, am I?]
I said that I would help her in the city of Tetra, but I ended up still relying on her.
『What do you want to do? Are you going to continue? Onward on your path?』
[Obviously.]
『Otherwise, it wouldn’t make sense for me to come here.』
My power increases. That feeling of fusing with this world grew even stronger.
『Fate！』
[Let’s go, Envy!]
『This…..might be dangerous』
[Either way, let’s go.]
Can’t let it happen. Once the secret fifth technique――Dimension Destruction unfolded, there would be no way for us to close in.
【This way】
【Run through】
【Knock it away】
I heard a voice again. I knew it well. He always sounded cocky, but he can be relied on when the push comes to shove.
【You can do that now……am I right, Fate?】
It’s always been the case. When I hear this voice, I feel full of confidence. Even without him telling me to… I would do it.
[UOOOooooooooooo]
Enduring the reflection force from the shield, I pushed through.
[Your voice, it has reached me! Return to me, Greed.]
