Final Trial of Mankind

And tomorrow will be the opening day of the Hamoin Temple Festival, because of the large number of tourists visiting from outside the island, the security system of the 'Demon Special Zone' will enter the most vulnerable period.

"Moguwai, contact the artificial island management commune, I'm afraid something worse will happen tomorrow."

What she said would become reality, and in a crueler form than expected.

071 Stormy Isokami Island

Harmony Temple Festival.

It is a festival in the present continuous tense of Ito Kamijima.

Sitting on the top floor of a tall building, Mu Chen looked at the almost crowded street below, and got goosebumps all over his body.

The huge festival in Itogami City will be the main meal from today, and the bustling and lively atmosphere in the city can be clearly felt even inside the buildings.

The biggest feature of this festival is the influx of tourists from outside the island.

Even if it's the task of a magician or he himself is interested in the plot of this volume, he really doesn't want to squeeze under it, even if he walks among these crowds with his martial arts attainments, he won't be squeezed to death The situation, but just looking at it makes me feel dizzy, there are too many people.

Moreover, there is another reason why Mu Chen has no plans to go down at all.

That is basically ten times in a place similar to a door, and ten times he will be transferred to another place by space transfer. This is his lucky feeling of falling below the lower limit that he hasn't mentioned for a long time, and he came out to play with his sense of existence.

So, now he doesn't want to go through those doors anymore, he can't fix the space first every time he goes through the door.

Although it is not difficult for him to fix the space of the entire string god island, but why is it thankless, doing so can do nothing but scare the snake.

However, although he did not fix the space of the entire String God Island, he was requested by the people of the special zone to fix the space in a few specific places, such as the more important airport or the studio of the artificial management agency.

"By the way, why did the phantom of Nangong that month disappear at this time? There seems to be no explanation in the anime!" Mu Chen murmured with some headaches, "If she is here, I just need to come out to harvest at the end. Where can it be so troublesome?"

Of course Mu Chen knew who caused the change this time, but he didn't know how Nangong disappeared that month.

The disordered space distortion, and the random space transfer affected by the strength of magic power, made Mu Chen even have problems entering and exiting buildings normally, unless he used teleportation to enter and exit.

"Or should I go directly to the place where the prison barrier will appear and wait?"

Even though he thought so, Muchen didn't take any real action, because he didn't know where the prison barrier would appear on Xianshen Island. He had traveled through so many years, and he knew the general plot was already very good. How could it be possible? Remember to be so detailed.

After all, the plot is not personal information, it can be found by searching in this world.

"Remember that the information of the five senses should be distorted in the ancient city now." Mu Chen looked at the idiot Sun who was still releasing his own light and heat to his heart's content and said to himself, "As long as I stay here until night, I think it should be You can see the prison barrier!"

Muchen doesn't dislike this world, he also thinks about how he should live if he stays in this world, however, this is just fantasy after all, he can't stop.

"wait!"

--------------------------------

Motoki Yaze was on the roof of the teaching building of the higher education department, holding a donut in one hand and a laptop in the other. He hadn't slept at all since yesterday, and his face was very tired.

The space distortion, which has been happening intermittently for roughly 24 hours, has now covered the entire Itokami Island area, causing various chaos in the city.

Dealing with the problem, covert work, finding out the cause, and countermeasures for the potential crisis in the "Demon Special Zone", coupled with the coincidence of the start time of the Hayonin Festival, the artificial island management commune is almost like a war There was as much commotion as ever.

Among these people, Yase, who is a secret agent, is acting alone to find out who is behind the commotion.

"Yo, things have gotten a little bigger. 』

A rough 3D model of a puppet is inserted on the Yase PC screen, which is searching for rumors on the Internet. This is the appearance of the supercomputer that governs the functions of the city of String Kamijima.

"It's you, Moguwai, what's wrong with Asagi?" Yase asked with a sullen face towards the artificial intelligence who got close for no reason.

Yase doesn't like Moguwai, this cunning artificial intelligence, its performance is too powerful, it is obviously a public property, but it is a dangerous item that no one can manipulate except Asaka.

For Yase, who was concealing her identity from Asagi and secretly carrying out spying activities, it was like being held by the subordinates of the trading partner, which was really a troublesome guy.

Not knowing the kind of feelings Yase harbored, Mogu smiled wryly.

"I just fell asleep, and even my eldest sister would be too tired to scan the end of the gigabit network all night while rewriting everything, but now I fell asleep with a cute sleeping face that was completely defenseless."Want to see photos? 』

"No, send it to Gu Cheng's cell phone."

"Googoo...that's a good idea, how about setting it as the standby screen by the way?" 』

This guy really did it, and Yase couldn't help but be dumbfounded. That guy is obviously a machine, but it is an artificial intelligence that is more human-like than a human.

"I'm not very clear about technical matters. Anyway, has the system of the artificial island management commune settled down?"

『For the time being, the wrong operation caused by the distortion of the space has been resolved. The rescanning of the terrain in units of centiseconds has stopped the confusion of the traffic agencies to the extent of anxiety caused by the long standby of the signal lights. As for pedestrians getting lost There is no other way, and there is no choice but to ask the Lost Center to increase staff to solve it. 』

"Is the airport function restored?"

『Of course, Muchen Az Dahaka has been asked to help fix the space, and the requested reinforcements from the national demon attack officer have also arrived. 』

"That guy really knows everything. Although it is reassuring as a companion, this time the opponent is too troublesome."

『Is it the Meiya sisters of the LCO first team "Philosophy"? 』

"Ah." Looking at the information displayed on the screen, Yase smiled self-deprecatingly.

The LCO is a huge criminal organization consisting only of high-level magisters and witches, with thousands of members. Due to the fact that it has many powerful magic books, it is also known as the "library".

The Meiya sisters are also well-known fighters in the LCO.

This is not a local magician with little actual combat experience. If an opponent who can fight against it becomes a frontal battle, it should cause great damage. To deal with a powerful witch, it is a foolish strategy to use numbers to suppress it. or more witches and magisters to fight against.

『However, it’s really strange. If you want to use a big skill like space distortion, I heard that the seventh team "Art" and the fifth team "Science" are better at it. 』

Mogu nonchalantly pointed out, Yase said feeling a little annoyed.

"If the purpose of this riot is the 'Secretary's Witch', those guys will probably form an alliance or two. The secret oath that that woman possesses has this kind of value."

"The executive department that manages the commune also agrees with Asagi-san, that is to say, the reason why the Witch Sisters cause space distortion everywhere is—"

"Ah, they are looking for that, but it seems that there is no progress yet."

The chaotic space distortion unfolded throughout the entire island, which in turn clearly showed the purpose of the witches.

It is not their purpose to distort the space. The Witch Sisters distort the space around Itogami Island in order to try to find the things hidden there. According to this rhythm, it is only a matter of time to find them.

"So that's the reason why Nangong couldn't move that month, Gu Gu. 』Moguwai said as if chatting.

"Although I don't want to admit it, but thanks to this, my combat strength is seriously insufficient. If other chess pieces that can defeat the 'Witch of Ashdown' alone are vampire nobles, Mu Chen Azi Dahaka, or lions The sword witch level of the king's agency..."

Yase scratched her head in distress. If Himeragi Yukina would fight against the witches, she wouldn't be at a disadvantage. Her spear, which can cut through all barriers and nullify magic power, is like a natural enemy to witches.

But if Xuecai was brought over, it would be tantamount to involving Gucheng in the incident, and only this had to be avoided.In such a situation where the space was already unstable, if the beasts of the fourth true ancestor were to come out and make trouble, it would become completely unmanageable.

There is no need to think about the vampire aristocrats. If the battle madman knew the real purpose of the witches, he might be happy to help them. Just thinking about that situation makes me feel terrible.

As for Mu Chen, he is currently fighting fires everywhere. For example, if there is a problem in that important place, he will help fix the space, or clean up the intruders. The combat power is enough, but unfortunately he is so lucky that he can walk all the way. Initiating space teleportation is not particularly convenient as a combat force.

『Speaking of which, the Guards of the Knights of the Holy Ring seem to be applying for permission to land. 』

As if laughing at the troubled Yase, Mogu spoke in a crooked manner.

"Is it the guard of Her Highness the Princess of Alutikia? It should be more useful than the local demon attack officer."

It's really enviable, Yase sighed.

The Alutikia knights, whose border borders on a part of the Warlord's Domain, have rich experience in actual combat with the demons, and they also have a trump card of imitating the holy sword. It can also be counted as full combat power.

『Miss Princess also said that she can help solve the trouble, but there are conditions. 』

"condition?"

On the PC screen of Yase who was in a daze, there was an email from Princess La Folia. Although the joke-like text full of emoticons gave Yase a little headache, he was still speechless. Look at the content on it.

"...that woman, really?"

"A wild girl who is even more exaggerated than the rumors, hehe, I don't like this. 』Moguwai smiled happily from the bottom of his heart.

Perhaps because it was created to solve difficult problems, this artificial intelligence gives people the impression that it is very interesting about other people's troubles.

In fact, the content of La Folia's proposal is really unacceptable. If it is not done well, it may become a diplomatic issue between Japan and her country.

However, Yase touched his chin.

"Princess La Folia is surrounded by Wu Weiyuan from the Lion King's organization. If all goes well, this change may be resolved soon. Trying to accept it here is also a way."

"hey-hey……"

Hearing Mogu's crooked laughter, Yase took out the phone.

That's right, with a witch as an opponent, you can only fight with witches and magisters of the same level or above. Fortunately, this is the 'Demon Special Zone', and Yase knows a few people like that—

072 Muchen: The scumbags are just the scumbags after all

Books called grimoires do exist.

They used to be practical books that recorded incantations, steps of magic rituals, and ways to control the existence of spirit bodies. However, in the process of accumulating a huge amount of knowledge, they themselves began to become books with powerful magic, and finally became capable books. Giving readers power beyond human intelligence, summoning a powerful disaster——

This is the magic book, the book with power.

Anyone who seeks the way of magic hopes to obtain the magic guide book, but there are still a few people who can actually understand its content and control the huge magic power accumulated in it.

So far, countless researchers have failed to control the magic book, and because of this, the magic book has been shattered. The disaster flowing out of it has destroyed several cities and polluted the souls of tens of thousands of people. In this process, a large number of The magic book is lost.

Worried about this situation, the magisters and witches set up the LCO—an organization called the "library".

They collect magic books from all over the world, classify them strictly according to their usage, seal them up, and then only selected people can lend them out, not for the development of magic, nor for the protection of the world Tranquility, just to satisfy my own curiosity and desire——

The "Library" is a group of extremely random and independent sorcery researchers, and it also has the nature of a criminal organization left over from the very beginning of its establishment.

The place where "No. 539", one of the magic books owned by the LCO, was liberated was in the center of the 'Demon Special Zone', on the roof of the central stone gate.

On the roof of the huge inverted pyramid-shaped building, a huge crimson magic circle is depicted, which is the barrier that protects the magic book.

The blood of members of the Special Zone Guard was used as the material used to draw the magic circle.

The guards of the central stone gate were seriously injured, and the blood that flowed from them was used to build a stage for this ritual magic. The wounded guards moaned in pain, and were thrown at random like used-up painting pipes. next to.

"Don't you think it's beautiful, Octavia? I have a premonition that there will be a wonderful encounter today."

Standing in the center of the magic circle is the elder sister of the Maya sisters, Emma, ​​a witch dressed in jet black.

The ancient foreign book she guarded was constantly absorbing the vitality of the guards who were life sacrifices, exuding strong fluctuations in magic power. In order to let them serve as the power source of the magister, the two sisters did not kill the guards.

"As expected of my sis, reading fate from meaningless items—are you imitating the ancient destiny theorists?"
