Episode 564: Spirit Fairytale (1)
“It’s a big deal! “They are coming from behind!”
To make matters worse, the creatures rushed towards the rear of the battleship.
In front is a barrier implemented by [Nurse Lime].
Behind them are a group of creatures like dark clouds.
Since we couldn’t deal with the creatures, we had to first break through the barrier in front of us.
“Concentrate all your efforts!”
Elisa gathered the magic power compressed into her fingertips and fired it at the barrier.
A long shot of pink magic light collided with the barrier and disappeared like a dying candle.
Elisa’s expression hardened at that sight.
“Even though it wasn’t very powerful, the attack was quite strong.”
Instead, I felt a tingling pain in my right hand, where the magical energy was fired.
Everyone else’s reactions were similar.
Every time magic was inserted into the barrier, the magic lost its power and disappeared.
Rather, the wizards fell back in silence due to the strong repulsive force emitted by the barrier.
Chris Benimore frowned over his glasses.
“This is no ordinary barrier! “It is showing a repulsive force that exceeds the impact applied!”
Alex and Pantos came forward, but it was no use.
When the two’s swords and harpoons collided with the barrier, they bounced back due to the rebound force.
Kwakagagak!
The tip of the drill broke off and wore away at an increasingly faster rate.
Scarlet sparks exploded like fireworks.
Ludger’s expression hardened.
The drill is being replenished by continuously creating cubes, but they are worn out and disappear faster than the speed at which they are created.
‘But I can’t take my hands off this.’
The aerial battleship was maintained in shape by Ludger.
It was a close call as steel was continuously added to fill the cracks and replace the broken armor.
The moment you let go even for a second, the air battleship collapses.
Perhaps because other people knew that, it was the best they could do to break through the barrier.
“Keep pounding! “Beat even if your limbs break!”
“Anyway, if we don’t break through here, it’s all over!”
The moment the Dream Walkers, who had not lost their fighting spirit, were about to knock on the barrier again, an abnormal phenomenon occurred on the barrier.
Wooooow.
The translucent surface of the barrier vibrated like a wave and began to form a black mass in the center.
“uh?”
The moment someone looked at it and wondered, black energy sprayed out radially and swept across the deck.
It happened so suddenly that it was too late to react, so people covered their faces with their arms.
But even as time passed, I didn’t feel any pain.
People realized that someone was alone blocking the energy from the front.
“Master Ma?!”
Dream Master Clara Cowen.
She was holding a staff alone, blocking the energy emitted by the barrier.
The grandmother’s appearance was gone, but she had rejuvenated herself to at least her 30s and barely withstood the huge torrent.
Her younger appearance means that she is now igniting all her strength.
Beetle.
However, no matter how Clara Cowen was, she could not stop this huge flow alone.
The moment her body stumbled, someone supported Clara’s body from behind.
At the same time, Clara was able to partially free herself from the pressure that was weighing down her whole body.
Soon the wave of energy emitted by the barrier stopped and Clara was barely able to escape.
“What on earth are you doing now! “I almost died!”
As Franz questioned with anger and sadness in his voice, Clara smiled.
“What can I do? “This is all I can do here.”
“You mean sacrificing your life? “Are you going to do something like that, knowing that your father died because of that behavior?”
“Maybe that’s why. “They say couples look alike because they love each other, right?”
“Not you. “My mother…”
Franz bit his lip with a complicated expression on his face.
“Are you finally calling me mother again?”
Seeing Clara smiling at him, Franz felt something stir inside him.
My heart felt like it was going to break.
“I didn’t want this.”
Franz knew that his father would never return.
He died, and in the end, there was nothing the person who left could do for him other than keep him in a corner of his heart.
But Clara was different.
She was still alive and Franz still considered her his mother.
Clara was his only remaining family member.
“What I really wanted was…”
After avenging his father, Franz wanted to be with Clara again.
Even though a long time had passed, I wanted to be with her for even the remaining time.
Even if I can’t completely go back to how it was in the past, if I can fill in just a little bit the gap in my heart that is deeply engraved in my heart, that will be enough.
I thought that was enough.
“I just wanted my mother to live with me and not die.”
“That goes for me too.”
“…!”
“What mother in the world would want to lose her only child after losing her husband? So I am willing to sacrifice my life to save you.”
Because that’s my mother.
Franz shed the tears he had been holding back at those words.
He would have rather sacrificed himself, but Franz’s reason desperately held on to that.
His role is not lost here.
At the very least, [Nurse Lime] had to be destroyed with this dagger that had been refined for a long time.
For that, Franz had to conserve his strength as much as possible even at this moment.
“The attack from earlier is coming again!”
There was a disturbance in the anomaly of the barrier.
Clara gently pushed Franz away and stood up.
“mother. It’s not possible.”
“Franz.”
“No. no. “It’s not as good as my mother.”
Clara shook her head at Franz and opened her mouth.
“Just let me go.”
“….”
“Sometimes you need to let go of what goes by instead of trying to catch it.”
“….”
“I realized it too late, but I wish you hadn’t. And you still have work to do.”
Franz couldn’t hold on to his mother leaving his hands.
He anxiously stretched out his hand, but Clara walked forward and widened the distance.
My hand didn’t touch.
Even though it is not that far away, why does it feel so distant, as if we will never reach it?
Franz bit his lip.
If I didn’t do that, I felt like I couldn’t bear it and would cry.
The wrinkles on Clara Cowen’s face have completely disappeared, and she now looks like she was in her mid-20s.
It has entered its full prime.
Before this, I had to stop halfway to save my life, but now it was different.
She became the fully lit fuse and the most brilliantly burning candle.
Clara didn’t look back.
Those who had to leave should not look back.
‘No, maybe it’s because I feel like I’m becoming weak-hearted too.’
At that moment, when Clara was smiling bitterly, someone came to her side.
When I turned my head, I saw a familiar figure with wrinkles.
“Zantman.”
“Grandma. No master. Why are you trying to show off your cool side again?”
Zandmann grinned.
At the same time, his appearance also began to return to when he was younger.
The beard disappeared and the wrinkled skin returned to its youthful and vibrant appearance.
“Wouldn’t two people be better than being alone?”
“But if you go away like this, what about the rest…”
“Well, those who are left behind will probably feel a little sad.”
Zandman muttered that and looked back.
Dreamwalker colleagues who were always bickering were staring at themselves.
“Jantman you…” His
eyes widened in disbelief at his choice, but no one could stop him.
The fact that Zandman acted like that meant that he had made up his mind.
All I could do for someone who was ready to burn everything down was to give them words of encouragement and a push on their backs.
Dreaming vain dreams and chasing unattainable ideals.
Even though he is criticized by the public, he laughs it off cheerfully.
because.
They are people who walk in dreams.
Because it is a Dream Walker.
“bye. “Jantman.”
“Go first. “We will follow soon.”
“Leave the rest to us.”
After hearing the solemn words of condolence, Zandmann stared straight ahead with a relieved smile.
“See? “Everyone is so trustworthy, so I can go with peace of mind.”
Clara burst out laughing.
It was a refreshing smile that suited the young and beautiful appearance of someone in their 20s.
“Really, our school is full of idiots and idiots.”
“No problem. Who founded the school and who led it? Aren’t they all idiots who followed only Nathanael and the two idiots, Master? And the future of our school has definitely been left in the right place.”
Clara nodded at those words.
“okay. Then let’s go. “The road won’t be lonely.”
“In fact, you will regret going with me. I am a very talkative person. “I have to go and nag Nathanael as much as I can.”
The two younger Dreamwalkers slowly approached the barrier.
The black energy forming on top of the barrier reached its critical point and trembled.
A moment when energy seems to burst out at any moment.
Clara aimed her wand and stabbed it hard.
The moment a strong repulsive force erupted and Clara’s body was about to be pushed away, Zantman held her staff together.
A strong storm raged, and people could only watch in silence.
The energy on the wall mixed with Clara’s dream and gradually began to degenerate into a different form of power.
It was a mixture of black and green, and it was like looking at very beautiful glass beads that children play with.
“Hahaha! “Let’s see something good before we go!”
Zandman burst out into a frivolous laugh at the brilliant appearance.
“And you won’t hear it! Our youngest! “It’s Julia!”
Zandmann slightly lowered the raised corners of his mouth and spoke with a gentle and gentle smile for the first time.
“Take care of yourself. “Don’t get upset because I’m not around.”
───!!!!
The orb of light exploded.
Everyone closed their eyes or turned their heads because of the blinding light.
It is a huge explosion caused by two energies mixing together.
Surprisingly, the explosion did not cause any harm to anyone on board the battleship.
This was thanks to Clara and Zantman controlling the direction of the force until the very end, diverting most of the impact of the explosion towards the barrier.
As the enormous energy that should have been released came back, the barrier visibly fluctuated differently than before.
It was not just a matter of shaking, but a hole was created around the center of the explosion.
The hole was small enough to barely fit a person, but it was definitely a hole.
“It’s completely pierced! “There’s finally a hole in that wall!”
Although they were the first to have hope, the wall slowly began to be restored, as if making a mockery of the reality.
“no! “The barrier is closing again!”
Someone put their hand through the gap in the barrier that was about to close and opened it.
Ludger Chelsea.
He, with his arms covered in black shadows, managed to hold on to the entrance to the barrier that was about to close.
Kigigigigeek.
The barrier that was in contact with both hands let out a harsh noise.
Ludger increased the output of the dreamy shadow to the maximum, but it was barely possible to maintain the hole in the barrier.
“We will help too!”
Dreamwalkers flocked to Ludger and supported him.
They each used hooks made of dream material to keep the entrance from closing.
“This is a passage that only the Master and Zantman sacrificed their lives to create! “Protect it at the risk of death!”
“We’ll help too!”
Teachers from Seorn also flocked to help the Dreamwalkers.
However, it was not possible to completely prevent the hole in the barrier from closing.
Although very slow, the hole in the barrier was gradually narrowing.
Two people gave their lives and made a sacrifice, but it ends like this without any meaning?
‘no.’
Someone whispered to Selina, who didn’t know what to do as she looked at that scene.
-Are you okay?
The voice was so similar that I thought it might have been his own.
But Selina knows.
That this voice is not his, but Esmeralda’s.
Considering Esmeralda’s true identity, it would not be wrong to say that it is her own voice.
-You’re still confused.
Esmeralda saw through Selina’s heart.
In the nightmare presented by Noksanna, Selina faced the truth of the past that she had forgotten like a dream.
That he is in fact not real, but a created artificial spirit.
Esmeralda, the real owner of the body, is gone.
You are not real, you are fake.
Those memories engraved in the past were nothing more than a replacement created by piecing together Esmeralda’s happy memories.
That cruel fact shook Selina’s delicate heart violently.
“But I…”
– Surely old memories may have been created. But were all your memories created after coming to Seorn? Can you say that it’s all fake too?
“…!”
Selina shook her head loudly without realizing it.
no. At least after coming to Seorn, everything about her was real.
Laughing and teaching with students.
Have fun conversations with fellow teachers.
Sharing the same difficulties, sympathizing with each other, and envisioning the future were all real.
and.
These feelings I have for Ludger Cellisi, who is trying desperately in front of me right now.
It was never a lie.
“please. Esmeralda. “Help us all.”
-I’m willing to do it for you.
Darkness spread around Selina.
But it was far from terrible. Rather, it was a strange darkness that gave a kind and cozy feeling.
Esmeralda, the dark spirit who appeared behind Selina’s back, looked over her shoulder and gently hugged her.
Esmeralda’s body poured over Selina like ink, and Selina’s black hair became one with Esmeralda’s darkness.
Her pink hair, like flower petals blooming in spring, is dyed like the darkness of the pitch-black night sky.
The eyes turned red.
The color of the hem of the clothes she was wearing was also dyed in a black tone to match.
“That’s…!”
Vierano, realizing what Selina had done, widened his eyes in disbelief.
Spirit fairy tale.
Selina has now reached the level that a spiritist can show when her communication with spirits has reached its peak.
