Dragon Clan: Fujimaru-san is saving the world

Chapter 616 [The Sixth Magician]

Being given a trial.

That's the fate of a hero.

Those who can become heroes will probably continue to 'surpass trials' during that journey and complete once, twice, or even more great deeds.

But it's no use.

Because the ultimate destination is failure.

Even Hercules could only turn 'once twice' into 'twelve times'.

But eventually, they all fail.

Because the world clearly longs for ‘infinity’, but it denies ‘infinity’ in terms of rules.

One-time success means the accumulation of cause and effect.

And the next time, it will only be more tragic.

Use their weaknesses.

family.

friends.

world.

The burdens will mount.

Perhaps this is the original meaning of "With great power comes great responsibility".

The world is longing for infinity, so it must endlessly force qualified people to complete their own tests at higher and higher latitudes.

But what is there at the other end of infinity?

He stepped on his right foot with his left foot, tripping himself up.

Until now.

It still does not exist and has given an answer that satisfies the world.

——

"Romani Achiman, no, it should be said to be the monarch of ancient Israel, the Magic King Solomon."

Nidhogg found the answer he wanted in a moment.

For Nidhogg, the permissions he can access include but are not limited to his own planet. As the only Earth UO that has been successfully created among countless parallel worlds, he can do more than imagined.

Even information from other worlds can be traced and retrieved.

Therefore, the moment he confirmed that the other person was different from any other individual in his own world, he tracked the direction of Fujimaru Ritsuka's world and saw the man's figure.

That was a little more difficult than imagined.

Because the heroic spirit named Solomon seems to have been erased from the Heroic Seat.

The first Noble Phantasm: "The time has come to say goodbye, let this world go (Ars Nova)".

That was a reenactment of the legend of "Solomon returning God's blessings to God."

After this Noble Phantasm is activated, everything Solomon created will lose value. It was not an abandonment of life, but an abandonment of all his existence - including King Solomon's body, life, creations, achievements, great deeds, and even the way of existence as a heroic spirit. He finally disappeared from the Seat of Heroes and arrived at a place that humans have never reached. of "nothing".

It was impossible for him to meet Fujimaru Ritsuka again.

It absolutely cannot be summoned.

"How to do it"

"Who knows - although I really want to say this, I actually know the principle, but it is very troublesome to explain. Can you please just think of it as the help of the power of love?"

The man touched his head awkwardly and said calmly.

However.

Just like he said.

There are actually many ways to circumvent this judgment and the 'Death of Solomon'.

First.

[The seat of Heroes itself transcends the world]

If Solomon's Noble Phantasm will destroy everything within itself, then a paradox will arise between time and the world, that is, "If Solomon cannot be summoned, then Solomon will not win the Holy Grail War in the first place. In the Holy Grail War, there will be no subsequent designation of titles]

How to resolve this paradox is the key to unlocking Solomon's individual characteristics as a heroic spirit.

The simplest explanation is that Solomon's Noble Phantasm does not abolish the circular world line, but follows basic linear time.

In other words, if we go back to a time in the past, such as the Fourth Holy Grail War, then the individual Solomon can still be summoned.

second.

[Just the destruction of one world line does not mean the complete disappearance of Solomon]

The simple truth is that if Solomon in one world line activates the First Noble Phantasm to erase all Solomons in the world line, that would be unreasonable behavior.

Solomon bcdefg: Why did you suddenly die when you were living so well?

In other words, even if one Solomon disappears, it will not cause all world lines to be cut.

third.

"There are actually as many ways to cheat as you can."

The man explained in his usual gentle and gentle voice.

"The requirements for ascending to the Heroic Spirit Seat are actually surprisingly loose. Even the Heroic Spirits summoned in the Holy Grail War often have doubts like, um, 'Can such a guy become a Heroic Spirit?'"

In other words, generous conditions.

For example——

Not as Solomon.

Instead, he was registered as a heroic spirit as [Romani Achiman].

Normally, it would have been rejected on the grounds that "such achievements are not enough to ascend to the Throne of Heroes".

Moreover, when Solomon used his Noble Phantasm, he did not know whether the 'traces' he erased contained information about the individual 'Romani'.

But in fact, it doesn’t matter whether you have it or not.

The key point lies in the ‘positioning’ of Romani himself.

During his journey to save the world, he provided the decisive element for the final victory until the very last moment, the moment he transformed into Solomon. Before that, he basically served as a "logistics person."

It is too inconspicuous to be captured by the Hall of Valor.

That's how it should be.

But in fact, Romani's own mediocrity does not mean that his life has no meaning.

"The Legend of Heroes."

"epic."

"In the narrative chapter, no matter what kind of carrier, a hero's story will not only include the individual hero, dualistic enemies, like-minded companions, and heart-wrenching betrayal." The doctor narrated slowly, his voice always being blurred. People ridicule him as weak and weak, but when he talks about it, he has an inexplicable and soothing calmness. Surprisingly, he is a good narrator.

"My life was boring. I was a fool and a coward. Even my final achievements were taken away from me."

"But... that's what I see from my perspective."

"But others don't think so."

"Some people will be inspired by my existence, and some people will have firm beliefs because of my existence, transforming from an inconspicuous mortal like me into a hero, and carving unparalleled battle scars on the Hall of Valor."

When he said this, there was a bitter color on the man's cheeks.

"It's so shameful. I obviously didn't do anything, I was just waiting."

"However, the Heroic Soul Seat transcends time. And Fujimaru Ritsuka's individuality will inevitably leave footprints in all the worlds. In her narrative, there will be a void named Solomon and [I]."

Guiding the hero at the beginning of his journey.

Give the commandment to the heroic spirit when it is about to break itself many times.

teacher.

elder.

Director.

A longing person.

Regardless of whether the doctor wants to admit it or not, after deleting Solomon, or rather the doctor, from Fujimaru Ritsuka's personal record, there is a wound that seems inconsistent no matter what.

And this goes against the reality that ‘Solomon’ deletes all traces.

Man cannot eliminate himself perfectly.

Not with Solomon.

Instead, by summoning the doctor with the concept of "the strongest heroic spirit in human history——Fujimaru Ritsuka's guide in the journey of salvation", the doctor's existence can be established.

Then.

It's the final line.

[In this world, Odin once seduced Solomon's body in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka. 】

The body is already there.

The spirit was burned into Romani's Heroic Seat.

Using the shield touched by Fujimaru Ritsuka as a summoning platform and himself as a medium, at the moment when the Möbius strip is formed, he breaks through all control and descends into this space.

Summoning successful.

but.

"Although I was very touched by the child's affection for me, unfortunately, I don't have any fighting ability as a Romani~ Hahahaha." The doctor suddenly touched the back of his head and laughed awkwardly.

".Then, what can you do?"

"Being summoned at this moment, what is your intention?"

Nidhogg restrained his evil thoughts and treated the frighteningly weak heroic spirits and even phantoms in front of him with the utmost caution.

That was not respect for Romani, but recognition for Fujimaru Ritsuka, the enemy who had been fighting with him for countless years.

If anything, everything at this moment was what she expected.

Then Romani's appearance must have its own meaning.

".My summoning condition is that the memory of me in Fujimaru Ritsuka is touched."

Romani suddenly spoke.

I don't know why, but my face is a little red, maybe because I feel ashamed to say this.

"And this means that Fujimaru Ritsuka has reached his limit."

"And my existence itself is a phantom. Although the summoning conditions are extremely harsh, it also satisfies the [Solomon Paradox]."

In other words, the appearance of people who shouldn't be here.

Romani is a [not allowed to appear] NPC.

But the miracle happened, relying on countless set conditions, it was completed——[Oath and Restriction]

The so-called oaths and restrictions are actually the embodiment of the fundamental rule of equivalent exchange.

What to lose.

Get nothing.

The more stringent the conditions.

You can get significant rewards.

Seal the memory of Romani in the deepest part of the body, and seal the person who ‘most wants to meet’.

【yes. 】

[At the same time that Caesar delivered the holy relics, Fujimaru Ritsuka almost couldn't bear it, and used the heroic spirit summons to communicate with countless heroic spirits]

[And with her brain, when she saw Solomon's body controlled by Odin, couldn't she have thought of how to bypass all restrictions and complete the summoning of Romani? 】

[Why is she unwilling to relax? 】

[Why did Ritsuka Fujimaru give up her dream of ‘becoming an ordinary person’? 】

- Because she has to be a hero.

——Because she must become a lighthouse.

——If she puts down all her responsibilities, it means that everything she learned from the heroic spirits and doctors will not be passed down as traces of civilization.

——If she gives up becoming a hero, it means that she can no longer ascend to the Throne of Heroes and indirectly create the phantom 'Romani' with her own existence.

She was always running.

Never stops.

Carrying a burden unknown to anyone, exhausting oneself.

That [cause] is really too huge.

so--

"I have only one role."

"Answer this [impossible] call."

ah.

same as before.

I will never be able to make it to the end of the work as the protagonist, and I will never be a hero, or a powerful shadow person, or even a powerful NPC.

All I accomplished was just finishing the mess I made - such a boring and boring act.

but.

I will still be a beacon.

Becoming that girl’s guide, also known as—

"The difficulty of conquering the Mobiu Ring is that it cannot be invaded and there is no entrance."

The doctor and Nidhogg looked at each other, and at the same time, they gently picked up Fujimaru Ritsuka as gently as if they were holding a ceramic doll.

"But because of my existence, the summoning path has appeared."

"That is to say."

"This coordinate, this [time] has been burned in the eyes of others."

At that moment, Nidhogg was shocked.

Not because of Romani's words.

But by his side.

The transparent ripples that suddenly appeared.

The reverberating texture is like tapping a mirror with your fingers.

Möbius strip. There is an intruder! ? !

However, the impossible reality overlaps like this.

【impossible】

【Miracle】

Or--

【magic】?

"Impossible!!! How is it possible in this era, how is it possible!?!"

Kara! ! ! ! ————————

The broken mirror surface and the continuous explosion sounds were like the air pressure difference surging into the inside, exploding in one breath.

The ghosts of time were filled with cracks, and strong arms suddenly appeared from the transparent space with ferocious force, suddenly grabbing Romani's back of the neck, and throwing him away like a kitten.

"It's been replaced. Your work isn't done yet - go wake her up, please."

Drops of blood scattered in the air like broken beads.

The blood-stained old man suddenly took half a step out of the hole in the time barrier, like a tiger or a mad dragon, leaving Romani and Fujimaru Ritsuka behind him and throwing them into the hole of time!

Invaders of clamp time.

The ghost of time.

That is--

"impossible!!!"

Nidhogg again issued a sharp denial.

Its voice was so panicked that it was almost impossible to reproduce it, reminiscent of his original calmness.

Apart from the fight with Fujimaru Ritsuka, that was the second time.

The situation was beyond his expectation.

because

There is only one existence that can create the 'impossible' and break into this time and space.

That is--

Agent of miracles.
