If he were here, his wild instincts would have helped us sense danger better than I could, which would have made us a little safer.
More than anything, it definitely would make me feel a lot safer.
If Enne was my weapon, Rir was my buddy. My true fighting skills were at their best when these two were together.
...I could not really hold back, right?
"...Sorry, Enne. I can't let my guard down here." (Yuki)
[...Hmm. It can't be helped. Life is more important.] (Enne)
After getting her permission, I took out the Divine Spear from my item box.
It was my trump card, but I rarely used it.
Part of it was because I had Enne with me, but I never used the God series weapons as they were intended to since the last war. I think it was better to keep them in storage if possible... In this place, it was not a situation for me to be saying such things.
If we were to fight against something from the Age of Gods, we needed weapons made from the Age of the Gods. It was only that weapon that I deemed suitable for use at the moment.
So I chanted.
"[Sing of Life, my spear]" (Yuki)
At that moment, the bone-like spearhead changed all at once, and it even affected my body.
My arm was covered in magic power and patterns, like armor.
However, Enne was still out.
I held Enne in my right hand and [Ruin] in my left.
I did not have the strength to control both weapons at the same time. Skills... well, never mind that, just being able to use the two weapons together was more than enough for me right now.
"Well, Demon Lord, that's..." (Eldogalia)
Seeing my state, Eldogalia-sensei let out a voice of surprise.
Around me, the members of the Sheep Horn Clan were also looking at me, speechless.
"Hmm, yeah, this is my trump card. Sorry, but no questions about this. Oh, you can ask Layla. She's already asked me everything she could."
I did answer most of what I could.
Well, the switch between the normal Layla and her other side that came out from time to time made her really cute. She was usually calm and collected, but she got all excited when it came to things she liked.
I got ready, so I asked everyone to wait for a moment and went ahead.
I made wings appear on my back and flew up to check what was ahead from the sky.
If it was just to protect myself, there were many ways to do it, so I should still be safe.
--It seemed that this place wasn't destroyed in the war.
Judging from the state of the castle town, that was the impression I got.
There was no sign of any conflict. The houses were clean, and there were no collapsed buildings.
No, there were a number of places that seemed to have collapsed due to aging, but that was it.
This place... had probably been deteriorating slowly.
I didn't think it was destroyed by any dramatic events.
"Enne, what do you think happened here?" (Yuki)
[...It feels like this place has completed its role.] (Enne)
"Role… I see. It does feel that way." (Yuki)
I remembered a conversation with Ruin.
-The primordial god Dominus sought [Chaos].
Chaos was, in short, change and prosperity.
If this place was the [Beginning]...it would not be a place that Dominus wanted, would not wish for humans to stay here alone.
So this place was no longer in use...?
