“……What on earth is that different space?”
The aerial warship was floating the in the skies above Tenguu City, which had already transformed into a battlefield.
On the bridge, the chairperson of the Round Table, Karen Mathers let out a calm but also somewhat anxious voice.
But it was no wonder after all. Even amidst the fierce battle, suddenly the probe detected a spiritual wave response from the Spirit of Origin.
Immediately afterwards, the mysterious Angel appeared and was followed by that strange space. From the surroundings where that occurred, whether it was enemy Wizards, automatic dolls, or even airships like their flagship , all response reactions had disappeared.
Looking at this alone, although it was irregular, had won.However, the situation was not that simple.
That’s right. The response of Itsuka Shidou, the key point of had also disappeared. Even their own flagship sank in front of that Angel.The abnormal battlefield was akin to a king being absent on the chessboard.Right now, DEM was also caught in situation of uncertainty. Well, even if they knew Westcott had been defeated, it was not impossible for them to seek out revenge──but compared to that, it was a simple action to continue fighting the enemy in front of themselves.However, as far as Karen was concerned, both sides were undoubtedly caught in a panic. This would only add further fatigue to both sides. While getting a grip on the current situation, Karen attempted to analyze the foreign space while the battlefield was still inert.
However, the more investigation spent, the more difficult it was to understand.Although it was understood that the barrier-like space was formed with the Angel as its core, the attributes of reiryoku comprising it were constantly changing everso slightly. Just by turning away for one second, it would transform into something completely different.
Although the size difference was comparable of an elephant to an ant, it resembled a Wizard’s Voluntary Territory──
“──No way, the neighboring world──?”
As Karen said that, a crew member sitting by a nearby seat suddenly raised his voice.
“This is──”
“What happened?”
“Y-yes. I’ve picked up the single from the autonomous camera injected by to investigate the different space from the outside……there are objects there resembling the Spirits’ bodies……”
“What did you say?”
Karen frowned as she peaked into the crew member’s personal display.Indeed, as he said, there were several Spirits collapsed on the ground. Amongthem included ’s captain, Itsuka Kotori.
“Ku.”
A small frustrated sigh leaked out from her.It had already been confirmed that Tokisaki Kurumi and the Yamai sisters had been killed by the Spirit of Origin. But to think in such a short amount of time──
“……Wait a minute, are this all of the visuals?”
“Yes, at least all that we have right now.”
“…………”
In response to the crew member’s retort, Karen placed her hand against her chin.It might have just been a mistake. Or perhaps that person did not encounter theSpirit of Origin yet.
But certainly──when determining the number of corpses displayed on the visual,there was one person missing from the number of Spirits that had entered thedifferent space.
