2-12 The right to look at the stars (4)
#12
It felt like an electric current was flowing through my veins.
This stone was clearly struck by Seniel.
To be exact, that existence was within me.
“Why in a place like this…”
Even though I was ridiculously weak, I felt great power.
An incomprehensible being who gave Adeshan the return bead and saved me from the fate of dying with Abel, a being that I still don’t fully understand.
Unlike back then, he didn’t talk to me or anything.
Navardose shrugged his eyebrows.
“Seniel?”
“yes. “Have you never heard of it?”
“Hmm… now that I think about it, it seems like there are children who worship that kind of thing. “I thought it was simply a type of folk religion, but does it have anything to do with this rock?”
It seemed like she didn’t know much about Seniel.
Well, I also found out about it after killing Abel, so it was worth it.
I briefly explained what I knew.
Seniel is the world we exist in.
Or the soul of this star itself.
He is the one who killed the previous king of the invading giants in the distant past.
Navardose’s eyes widened.
“···The soul of the world?”
“First of all, that’s how I introduced myself. In fact, we didn’t have much conversation back then… I never thought we would be in a place like this.”
I felt it instinctively.
It was of a different class from the counterfeit that Sarante treated with great care.
What was before my eyes right now was Seniel’s body.
“Navardose. “You said this stone is important, but what exactly does it do?”
“Well, what should I say? “If I were to compare it, it’s similar to the heart.”
“Heart?”
“okay. A heart that contains enormous vitality. All I have done is to infuse strength into it and make the vitality spread more widely. Would you like to take a look?”
Navardose placed his hand on the stone.
Her mana began to seep into the surface.
About a minute had passed like that.
The stone vibrated slightly, and translucent waves spread out around it.
“This···!”
The change occurred immediately.
The ores that touched the wavelength began to emit light.
The red ore was becoming redder, and the blue ore was becoming bluer.
It was the moment when the mystery of why the surroundings were so colorful was revealed.
“It just worked out well. “Look at your pockets.”
“yes?”
Suddenly Navardose pointed to my coat pocket.
When I put my hand in and rummaged around, a handful of pure white dirt came out.
It seemed like I was in the middle of a camping trip with Le Tansie.
“What’s this.”
It was a car that made me wonder why I was asked to see this.
As the wave exploded again, the color of the soil began to change.
The white particles changed to an oily brown color in less than ten seconds.
The color of the land makes it look like you could plant potatoes right now.
Navardose took his hand off the stone.
“Now you know. “This is the secret to maintaining the ecosystem even underground.”
“It’s awesome.”
“It’s just a guess, but I think it’s thanks to this stone that the deep sea and land haven’t been eroded by them yet. “The life energy emitted irregularly is prolonging the life of the star…”
Navardose’s expression did not look very good when he said that.
Even though my body is getting better, I can give it as much strength as I want.
I seemed to understand the reason.
“How long is left?”
“okay. This stone is dying. “The pace is accelerating.”
“The facility, whether it’s its roots or not, is taking away its power.”
It was obvious even without looking.
If Seniel, the soul of the world, had become weak, the reason was obvious.
It was because the life force of the star itself was being stolen by the winged bald heads.
“I think so too. So our main activity was also to destroy the roots. Of course, there are only a handful of successful cases…”
“I can’t help it. “Because they make a living with just a defense shield.”
It was natural that it would be difficult to break.
The surface of every root was coated with a very thin layer of star protection.
Unless it had firepower at the level of the Mother of Fire, it would not be easy to inflict significant damage.
Navardose smiled.
“That’s why I’m even more glad that you came. I heard from Orsay that he destroyed the root with a single sword strike? “It may take several years because the world is so big, but if you help me, getting this planet back won’t be a dream.”

“hmm. “I don’t think it will take that long.”
“What does that mean?”
“Now that I think about it, I forgot and didn’t explain it. So, if you drink or apply my own blood…”
There was no reason to waste years.
If I had been the only one in the world who could face the bald guys, I would never have won.
I was about to continue my explanation.
Navardose suddenly raised his hand.
“for a moment.”
The conversation stopped.
She was looking up at the ceiling with a serious face.
“What, why are you acting like this all of a sudden?”
“It looks like something happened up there.”
Suddenly, two horns grew on either side of Navardose’s head.
The cone curved toward the sky was more beautiful and thicker than any dragon’s horn.
“The light…”
The horn was blinking slowly.
The ominous red light had been seen in the past on the day of Itargand’s entrance ceremony.
If I remember correctly, this meant that the enemy had invaded.
“It’s not unusual. let’s go.”
“Damn, wait a minute. Are you going to use space magic again?”
“no. Let’s fly and go. “It’s too much for me to use magic one more time.”
Paaaa…!
Navardose’s body was engulfed in light.
The back of the dress tore apart and a pair of huge wings grew.
The red skin had countless scars engraved on it.
The top of my head, which was soft and almost touching my chin, suddenly rose.
“Oh.”
I was impressed without even realizing it.
The breasts that were originally down there had risen to my eye level.
After completing her transformation, she became much taller than Adeshan, so she had to raise her head to look at her face.
Navardose muttered.
“Hmm…as expected, I’m not used to this appearance. “I didn’t plan on it getting this big.”
“no. “It’s actually good.”
There were no gaps in the tightly packed field of view.
I took a picture of what I was seeing right now [3D effect]
If I submitted it with a title like that, it seemed like it would win the grand prize at any photo exhibition.
Come to think of it, this is my first time seeing this type of Navardose.
Should I call it a beastman form?
It had a charm that was different from its true appearance or human appearance.
I was in the midst of losing my mind.
“I can’t help it. “Let’s go.”
“Oof.”
Suddenly Navardose hugged me.
As his body grew along with his height, he fit comfortably in my arms.
After recovering her condition, her body temperature became as hot as a hot spring again.
Navardose spread his wings and took flight without me even having to say anything.
Quaaaaa!
The wind started howling in my ears.
I couldn’t see anything, but I could tell that it was flying very fast.
No matter how hard I struggled, she wouldn’t let me go.
“Ugh! “Ugh!”
“I’m sorry. “Even if it’s frustrating, please be patient.”
Navardose said with an air of disapproval.
Out of courtesy, I relaxed my struggling limbs.
The sweet body odor was sensual.
I’m sorry to say that in the midst of something big happening, but I was feeling quite happy right now.
It was no exaggeration to say that the break-even point of the parallel world adventure had been surpassed at this moment.
“I, Navardose!”
But the happy times soon ended.
An urgent cry rang out not far away.
As soon as Navardose put me down, my vision cleared.
Hundreds of resistance fighters gathered in the center of the headquarters where the artificial sun was floating.
“Really? “So many people came?!”
“That’s right. “Damn it, did they even notice our presence?”
“Lord, I’m going to die… everyone’s going to die…”
Everyone’s expressions became serious.
It was definitely different from before, when he never lost his smile even in difficult situations.
Orsay, who had returned to human form, was growling as if he was ready to spit out fire at any moment.
Navardose spoke to an elf who appeared to be an executive.
“What’s going on?”
“No, a lot of them came here. It’s completely different from usual. As if I had noticed this place…”
“stop. “I will check it myself.”
Perfect!
Navardose snapped his fingers.
The rock ceiling became transparent like glass, and the view outside was revealed.
People’s faces were distorted in shock.
“Oh God.”
Dozens of giants were roaming the sky.
Everyone held a spear of light in their hands.
Above the clouds was a huge magic circle of a scale I had never seen before.
The disgusting, wriggling pattern was opening and closing repeatedly, spitting out a bald winged head.
“That much…!”
“Why all of a sudden? “Have you caught the tail?”
There was a stir.
This was something that had never happened before.
Orsay and I looked at Le Tancier almost at the same time.
【Four years.】
“Well, it’s not me! “I want to live too, so why would I do something like that!?”
Le Thanxie desperately shook her head.
She was still tied to the rope and crawling on all fours on the floor.
People were in the midst of discussing how to deal with it.
A giant flying close to the ground threw the spear he was holding.
Rumbling…!
My vision was covered with flashes of light and at the same time, there was a vibration.
“Huh oh oh!”
“I’m sure. “I got caught.”
Someone sighed.
The place where the spear was inserted was exactly perpendicular to the headquarters.
As the explosion subsided, visibility became clear again.
The scattered giants were gathering together.
They started throwing spears at the same spot one after another.
The transparent ceiling returned to its original state.
“······Is it time?”
Navardose clenched his fists.
It was something I expected would happen someday, but I had no idea it would be this sudden.
There was a tense atmosphere.
Every time a spear struck, the entire cavity shook.
Qarring!
bang!
The loud noise caused by the ground caving was gradually getting louder.
“First, retreat-”
Judging by the numbers, there was no chance of victory.
Navardose, who had been silent, was about to issue an evacuation order.
“It’s just right.”
“···huh?”
“It just worked out well. “I told you to remove the ox horn, so I should show it to you right now.”
I clapped my hands saying it was right.
I was already planning to demonstrate it, but the timing was amazing.
The eyes of the resistance fighters around me were focused on me.
“Hey, you say it’s perfect? “What are you talking about?”
“It’s literally foreign. “Everyone, look carefully.”
With those words, I pulled out my sword.
Then he lightly slashed his left arm and raised his arm.
There were many more efficient blood collection methods, but now there was a need for something dramatic.
Sigh!
The cut opened and red blood poured out.
“f*ck, it stings.”
“W-what are you doing all of a sudden!?”
People were shocked.
As intended, attention was drawn.
Navardose’s eyes widened.
“Oh my. “I can’t believe it’s the secret you mentioned…!”
“You’re probably right. Hey, Orse. “Give me your spear, please.”
I reached out to Orsay.
He was just about to change into his true form, taking out his horns and wings.
【what?】
“A spear made from your ribs. “I’ll give those bald heads a beating, so give it to me quickly.”
【How dare you say such nonsense…】
“Orsay. Please cooperate.”
Orsay froze when he heard Navardose’s voice.
He rolled his eyes back and forth and gritted his teeth.
Shhh!
He pulled the spear out of his mouth and swung his arm.
【···I am not following your orders.】
“Thank you. “He’s a good kid.”
Navardose smiled.
I giggled and pulled out the spear at my feet.
It was truly a vicious weapon.
The blade of the spear, twisted into a double helix, felt like it had an evil intention to pierce everything in the world.
I put the tip of the spear to my bleeding forearm.
“Good.”
【hey. What are you doing?】
Orsay was astonished.
The blood that flowed down the window sill wetted the road.
It wasn’t diluted, it was a pure solution, so I thought this would be enough.
I shouted, holding up the spear dripping with blood.
“Everyone has worked hard so far!!”
“Are you crazy?”
“I know how hard it has been for you all! Those boiled eggs walk around covered in a protective shield that has no trace of conscience! The reason the world has been reduced to this mess is because it was beaten unilaterally. But that’s over now!!”
“You’re really crazy.”
A cold response came back.
Once again I realized that I had no talent for public speaking.
I thought it would be a good idea to show it in person before any trash or rotten tomatoes start flying.
“Let’s see.” “This would be good.”
At that moment, a rusty bucket was rolling around at my feet.
I put my still bleeding arm into the bucket.
Then he looked around and continued speaking.
“Everyone listen carefully! Weapons covered in my blood can tear through the defenses of bald men! Even if you dilute it with water, it is quite effective!”
“What on earth are you talking about? “Get out of here!”
“You’re murmuring so dirty. You just have to show it yourself. Orsay, take it!”
He threw the blood-stained spear at Orsay.
Orsay, who brilliantly caught the spear, frowned.
I pointed with the tip of my chin at the sky filled with giants.
“Throw it. To the ugliest one.”
【······Are you serious?】
“Why would I lie?”
If I had to do it, I would just do it, but I was very dissatisfied.
It was the moment when Orsay looked up in disapproval.
Quaaaang!
Suddenly, a huge explosion occurred on the ceiling in the distance.
“this!”
It wasn’t on a normal scale.
Navardose urgently stretched out his hand.
A hemispherical force field spread out as if exploding, covering the entire cavity.
The collapsing bedrock could not penetrate the force field and bounced off.
“oh my god···!”
But there was no room for relief.
As the dust cleared, the scenery beyond the ceiling was revealed.
It wasn’t much different from what I had seen through magic.
Pure white cloud layer and wandering giants.
The strong wind seeping in from outside was tousling people’s hair.
『You fools. Did he think he could fool His eyes with shallow tricks?
『Therakis executes the sentence.』
Then a low, deep voice rang out.
Giants holding spears of light were slowly descending.
The sight of them coming down in a single line took away hope from all of the resistance fighters.
I shouted, dipping my arms in the bucket.
“Orse! Throw it!”
【······!】
“Throw it you idiot! Not only did the horn fly off, but one of his balls flew off too?! “Don’t be scared and throw it!”
The voice echoed.
Orsay was breathing heavily and grabbed the spear.
Just as I was about to say one more word, his arm disappeared from sight.
The spear flew in a black straight line and pierced the three giants at once.
“This?”
The giants’ eyes widened.
The star’s protection was scattering like broken glass.
The spear that continued to surge pierced through the bodies of two more giants and became lodged in the center of the magic circle.
Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrng-!!!
A roar like ten thousand thunderbolts striking at the same time erupted.
Clouds dispersed around the spot where the window passed.
The moment the sky was revealed, everyone held their breath.
The night sky, which had not been seen for the past dozen years, was neither white nor red, but colored deep black.
“······ah.”
Tears flowed down Navardose’s cheeks.
Countless stars were embroidering the darkness of space.
It was a sight I had not seen in ten years.
In a world without light pollution, star clusters were much clearer than people remembered.
The Heavenly Emperor swaying beyond the wind looked as if its children who had become stars were waving their hands.
“After all, people should live by looking at the sky.”
He looked up and smiled.
The giants whose bodies were pierced began to fall.
I opened my mouth, pointing the tip of my sword at the night sky.
“let’s go. “To get it back.”
Everyone has the right to look at the stars.
At least I think so.
