The Infinite Dragon God Cannot Find Silence

With a smirk, the winged girl slammed the dark purple sphere in her hand down heavily.

boom!!!

Even Rick raised his eyebrows in surprise.

In a split second, the Skywing girl was slammed into the ground by Shubi's precise and swift attack, unleashing a powerful energy shock that swept across most of the ruined city.

But at this moment, Rick frowned again.

Are we still in the ruins of the capital?

"The surrounding space... is sealed off..."

"what?"

Hughie's words startled Rick.

"Did the other side do this? Could the Skywing race really do something like this?"

The girl with the machine-like appearance tilted her head in confusion.

"The speculation is negative. In the past, it has not been confirmed that the Skywing species has the ability to seal off space. The possibility that the combatants may have special characteristics cannot be ruled out."

In fact, if the emotional component were more active, the machine-type girl would probably be quite agitated by now.

She devoted all the time gained from the long-planned attack to analyzing the surrounding blockade, but to no avail.

The best-case scenario was to directly analyze the flaws in the blockade and then teleport away, or at least complete the former, but now they've fallen into the worst situation.

Below, the Skywing girl slowly got up from the ground.

"Oh dear, I seem to have been a bit careless—"

Jibril was not angry that the enemy had managed to hit her; instead, she looked delighted—the attack seemed to have done no harm to her at all.

"They keep using moves that don't even belong to a race. The Mech race is really quite troublesome."

As she said this, Jibril frowned.

In fact, the reason she hasn't been able to win him over so far is not only because she wants to play around with him more, but also because she's wary of the Machine Race's unreasonable copying ability.

She wasn't afraid that her attacks would be turned against her, but she also didn't want her master's power to be so easily desecrated.

Therefore, she has never shown her true abilities in terms of practical skills.

To be honest... it's a bit of a hassle.

"Hey!"

Upon hearing the voice, Jibril tilted her head and looked over.

It was that unknown creature that was constantly being chased by the machine-like creatures.

Although this entity has remained inactive, Jibril has a feeling that the reason it has been able to hold on until now is definitely related to this 'unknown creature'.

"Yes~ Is there anything I can help you with?"

Having piqued her interest in this 'unknown,' Jibril responded with a charming smile.

"Is the surrounding space sealed off? Aren't you worried that you won't be able to get out?"

"Oh?"

Jibril chuckled softly.

"Compared to me, you should be more concerned about your own condition right now, since in less than five minutes, your entire body below the neck will disappear~"

"That's really terrifying..."

Although he said that, Rick had a mysterious smile on his face.

Hughie is analyzing the lockdown; she needs to buy her time.

—With this determination, the boy was about to speak again.

But his performance opportunity was interrupted again.

A purple vortex shot into the sky.

She was innocently caught in the crossfire of Jibril's initial 'greeting', then suffered continuous damage in the recent battle, and finally was swept away by a long-prepared attack from Shubi.

A certain dormant 'fragment' has finally fully awakened.

Chapter 282 Three Girls

"Finally?"

On a pile of rubble in the ruins of the forest elf capital, two girls, both with black hair and dressed in black robes, stood and sat side by side.

Seeing the purple light shooting into the sky from several kilometers away, the girl standing there had a bright look in her eyes.

It seems to have really been activated.

"I don't understand the point of what you're doing..."

Behind the girl, another girl, whose clothes and even appearance were exactly the same as the girl who had just spoken, sat casually on the ground.

"That fragment doesn't seem to be anything special... Even if it is, you can awaken it yourself, right?"

"You don't know anything!"

The girl who spoke first turned around in dissatisfaction and raised her head.

"This kind of thing—of course it's pointless!"

"..."

Another girl—Ophis—half-closed her eyes listlessly.

I have a feeling this person is targeting her energy-saving theories...

However, she wouldn't engage in such a pointless and energy-consuming activity as arguing with the other party.

She wouldn't have been like that before, let alone now she still hasn't returned to normal.

Even keeping my eyes open feels like a hassle...

"However, there's no reason to assign meaning to everything. Sometimes, isn't it better to just follow your heart? Anyway, I'm already dead, so being a complete couch potato doesn't matter~ Hahahaha!!!"

The girl was still happily proclaiming her arguments, then laughing wildly like a madwoman.

In response, Orpheus opened her little mouth and gave a cute yawn.

She couldn't understand why this guy in front of her, also a 'fragment', seemed to have inexhaustible energy.

However, after tilting her head to the side, she decided to correct the other person's words.

"I am not dead yet."

Hearing the dragon girl's rebuttal as she tried to avoid being 'killed,' the other girl, who was laughing loudly, froze, then pursed her lips.

"This is really troublesome. In this situation, I can't even tell who I am."

As if she had completely changed, the girl who had just been laughing wildly like a madwoman without any regard for her image now had an incredibly warm smile.

Yes, she is Orpheus.

Only Orpheus.

Reminding herself of this again, the girl looked at the purple pillar of light once more.

"Let's put that aside for now. Although this matter may not necessarily lead to any results—in other words, as you said, it's meaningless—but..."

The girl smiled softly and opened her arms.

Don't you think it's funny to do this?

"..."

Orpheus stared with dead fish eyes.

How come she doesn't feel that way at all...?

Should one of them be expelled from Orpheus?

In addition, she was very worried about the possibility of developing a mental disorder after she fully recovered.

……

……

"This is……"

Jibril's attention was instantly drawn to the sudden change, and her eyes widened.

"This is this, this is this, this is—"

Even Rick, who was also being questioned by the same person, turned a sidelong glance at her. The winged girl, who had just been acting quite aloof, revealed an excited... almost perverted smile, her eyes sparkling as she kept repeating it.

Rick kept a watchful eye on things, but then the situation suddenly changed again.

The purple pillar, composed of wildly flowing energy, slowly began to contract.

"Shubi, can we leave now?"

Although he was curious about what would happen next, Rick was not one to let his emotions influence his decisions. Taking advantage of the fact that the Skywing's attention was completely drawn, he asked Shubi.

To his disappointment, the machine-type girl gave a negative answer.

“Spatial lock... Unbreakable... This area is completely separated from the outside world... Direct movement away is not feasible... Leaving underground is not feasible... Leaving in the air is not feasible... Spatial transfer is blocked... The only possible solution is 'space-time transfer'... This machine does not have the necessary conditions to execute it.”

"cut……"

Rick gritted his teeth.

He had completely figured it out from the previous probing—or rather, the other party hadn't made any attempt to hide it. In any case, the so-called barrier sealing off space was not set up by that winged girl.

So what exactly was the purpose of the person who set it up?

He believed that there was nothing about humans that was worth the other party's scheming, which meant... Shubi or the Skywing race?

Or was it for some other purpose? Or was it an accidental trigger of the Elf capital's defense mechanism?

If it were the last one, there should still be a passage for refuge left... but the chances of that are very low. According to the information Rick has, the Forest Elves do not have such technology. Even if it is a hidden method, it is too far from the strength they have shown.

If it's either of the first two... then the current information is insufficient to make a judgment.
