Infinity Throne

Mirien did not think deeply about the logic of her actions before taking action.

Connor is strong.

She sensed it intuitively.

So she gave up her dignity as a knight and chose to stop Connor with Mai Oda.

But why?

Miriam knelt on the ground.

A revolving lantern floated before my eyes.

Seafood BBQ.

Chicken drumstick rice.

Kebab skewers.

Boiled fish.

Boiled eggs.

Various recipes that she had eaten before appeared in front of Miriam's eyes.

good smell.

Then Miriam understood.

It turned out that she simply wanted to clear a way for the cooks.

A road to "resurrection".

Even if she doesn't know how to resurrect,

I don’t know what it means to get out of here.

But, she did it anyway.

However, in the end, Miriam failed.

Not only did she lose her glory and dignity, but also... her victory.

The moment her winning sword was blocked by Connor, Miriam knew very well that she had lost everything.

…

…

The chance is only for a moment.

Yi Lin knew this very well.

When he knew that the "candidate war knight" originally selected by the above bosses was not Miriam, Yi Lin understood one of the reasons for his appearance here.

Yes, one of them.

Maybe there are other reasons.

But Yi Lin knew very well that he had to do this at this moment and here.

Everything...for the ultimate victory!

No matter what, he had to do it.

Bartholomew Dylan's green pupils bloomed with bright green light.

It's the magic eye!

Yi Lin had studied in the Clock Tower for a period of time and was very familiar with the magician's system.

So when Bartholomew Dylan opened his magic eyes, Yi Lin understood Bartholomew Dylan's next plan.

"Come in you!"

With a stern face, Yi Lin clapped his palms, and the [Evil Thought Space] instantly distorted the scene in front of him. As soon as Bartholomew Dylan turned green, he was sucked into the Evil Thought Space without any warning.

Mind body!

Teleportation!

After temporarily trapping Bartholomew Dylan, Yi Lin acted without any hesitation and took action one after another.

The Giant of Light stood tall on the ground, his huge palm passing through the aperture.

Behind Mirien, a huge circle of light appeared out of thin air, holding Mirien tightly from behind.

"Hey!"

The sudden restraint shocked Mirien, but she was so uneasy at the moment that she was quietly waiting for death, so that at this moment she was like a delicate little woman who was suddenly caught by Yi Lin's big hand of mind body. , making a "whew" sound.

"oh?"

Connor looked at the circle of light that suddenly appeared behind Mirien with interest, raised his giant sword, and prepared to smash it with one strike.

And right now.

Oda Mai, who was covered in blood, stood up at some point.

She lowered her head, and her blood-stained hair was covered with a shadow of death, making it difficult to see her face.

At this moment, she was not breathing, like a dead person.

But the "dead man" in Connor's eyes was standing in front of Connor, holding a half-cut knife in each hand.

…

Miriam floated around.

Oda Mai also drifted.

At this moment, she couldn't hear any sound.

It's like my five senses have been deprived.

She couldn't see, hear, or even feel the knife in her hand.

But she knew she was holding the knife.

Even if both knives are broken, they are still her knives.

In the cruel hell, the knife became the only tool she could rely on - even if it was just a [replica].

She forgot to breathe.

In the extreme silence, she seemed to hear the breathing of "the other person".

It was a kind of "breathing" that was as cold as steel and rhythmic.

It was the "breath of iron" coming from Connor, from Connor's giant sword.

Oda Mai lowered her head.

When she was about to die, various strange fragments appeared before her eyes.

In the dark room in Guiwu Mountain, the man's eyes were shining brightly.

Master Miyamoto Genichi once said: When her sword is swung out, it reaches a point that even the wielder cannot imagine, and that is the fastest sword.

In a dark campus, surrounded by tentacled monsters, she and a man rode a motorcycle and fought their way out of the siege.

In the dark world, in the face of despair, she smiled and swung a knife... the fastest knife.

In the endless abyss, when she was penetrated by tentacles and died completely, the man entered the abyss regardless of everything, held her hand, and said to her: Let's go back.

Various images, in a flash of lightning, floated before Oda Mai's eyes, and finally settled in front of a smiling face that "both belongs to her and yet does not belong to her."

That picture felt strange to Oda Mai, but deep in her heart she had a ridiculous idea - it would be great if I were "her".

She knew that none of these experiences belonged to her.

Belongs to the "other" Oda Mai.

I just don’t know why, before she was about to die, she and another Oda Mai seemed to have reached some kind of "resonance". She understood the other person's experience empathetically, and in less than a second, she came from the future. Oda Mai has experienced the other person's life.

"call--"

Oda Mai, who had forgotten to breathe, regained her breath.

The moment she was breathing, Connor looked at the dying girl in front of him but still stood tenaciously in front of him. An ecstatic smile appeared on Connor's face.

Yes, Connor was happy.

He knew what Yi Lin wanted to do, but now Oda Mai was standing in front of him, which aroused his strong interest.

"I will kill her with my own hands and give her the highest honor as a warrior - to die with my full sword."

Connor dropped his smile.

Connor recognized Mai Oda.

She is an admirable warrior.

So, as a soldier, you should die with your head held high.

So Connor let Yi Lin do things, let Yi Lin open the portal and take Mirien away.

What does this have to do with him?

Even if the "higher people" came down in person, they could not stop him from killing the dying soldier in front of him with his own hands.

He held the giant sword high, his muscles tense and motionless, like a sculpture.

Oda Mai "slowly" turned back and looked up at the sky with great effort.

There, there is a light.

That light formed the giant.

Among the giants, there is Yi Lin.

Among the mental giants, Yi Lin took Mirien out of the battlefield. When he looked down, he was looking into the eyes of Mai Oda.

Yi Lin is not familiar with this Oda Mai.

Really unfamiliar.

But I don’t know why, at this moment, this Oda Mai actually gave Yilin a sense of tacit understanding... just like before, even without any communication, she could understand what the other person was thinking.

Oda Mai understood Yi Lin’s thoughts.

Yi Lin also understood what Oda Mai was thinking at the moment.

Oda Mai: "I see."

Yi Lin: "Thank you."

Oda Wu's two swords have been broken.

She calmly discarded one of the broken knives.

The scabbard is gone.

She held the sharp blade with her left hand and used it as a sheath.

The blood, which turned into light red due to excessive blood loss, flowed down the tiger's mouth, dripping along the edge of the broken knife and landed at her feet, without her even realizing it.

"You have earned my respect, woman. Say your name and I will give you a dignified death."

Oda Mai lowered her head,

When she looked up again, she smiled.

She smiled happily and gently. This smile made this desperate hell suddenly prosperous like spring.

"Oda Mai."

Mai Oda "slowly" walked toward Connor.

The strange memory made her understand one thing before she died.

The fastest knife is not the knife with no worries.

Rather, there is a knife in my heart.

Having concerns in her heart will not affect the speed of her sword, it will only make her faster.

"I really envy you...another 'me'."

"One sword flows the secret, one sword is gentle."

…

Boom, boom, boom!

[Evil Thought Space] Without the assistance of Gayageumimi, it can only function as a "cage".

Yi Rin temporarily trapped Bartholomew Dylan inside.

The dead skin on his forehead cracked like glass with spiderweb-like cracks, and dark blood flowed down Yi Lin's forehead, making him look hideous and like an evil ghost.

Bartholomew Dylan is indeed a candidate knight. He threw magic spells like crazy in the evil space, and it didn't take long for him to break out of the trap.

But Yi Lin's goal has been achieved!

Under Mirien's astonished gaze, Yilin roughly pushed Mirien, who was unable to react, into the altar.

boom!

A light curtain bounced Yi Lin away, and it was densely covered with the words "No Pass".

He was rejected!

As Gu Tianqing said, a tower will only give birth to one "agent".

Gu Tianqing has become a knight of the "Lord of Death", so Yi Lin can't enter the tenth level no matter how hard she tries!

His road ends here!

But Miriam's path was not cut off.

Bartholomew Dylan is an alternate knight.

The reason why a "substitute" is a candidate means that he has not yet completely become a true "knight"!

Perhaps "they" who are aloof from above never thought that even in the world of the dead who kill each other, there will be people who will bloom the dawn of humanity in hell and personally send others to the passage of "resurrection and afterlife".

"No-Rin!!!"

Mirien was pushed into the altar by Yi Lin.

She felt the call of some kind of power.

Her body is decomposing, and the decomposed body is being reorganized in the endless starry sky.

Miriam burst into tears and slapped the light curtain hard.

Yi Lin smiled: "Never forget your pride, King of Knights. Also... forgive my selfishness and let you live in this way, Miriam."

"I hate you!"

Mirien roared and appeared high in the sky.

Behind her, a murderous blood-red throne of dominance covered the starry sky.

On the scarlet seat, red eyes were opened one by one. Each eyeball was of different sizes, and they were spinning rapidly in all directions.

The hazy "god" shadow is boiling again!

Another "agent" decides the result!

There are gods who are happy and there are gods who are sad.

It was different from the reaction of other knights returning home.

The light did not fall on Mirien for a long time.

but,

Finally, the red light fell.

On the red seat that represents the "Lord of War", there are gaps in the pattern that look like patterns, and strange eyes are opened. Countless pupils of varying sizes rotate in all directions, as if there is an independent will behind each eyeball.

Mirien was enveloped in red light.

Pieces of red and black armor flew from the void and covered Mirien's body.

The dark visor covered Miriam's eyes.

So far,

War Knight... was born!
