Lawrence steeled himself and led Simonetta forward cautiously.
"The magic power in this blank spot is very chaotic... it's chaotic to a certain extent." Lawrence frowned slightly, "Did a battle just happen?"
Simonetta looked around innocently: "Sister Harley, where are we?"
When Lawrence heard Simonetta calling out Harley's name, his heart ached involuntarily and he bit his lip.
She is still not completely free from the influence of yesterday's fantasy.
Watching Harley die in front of him again and again, Lawrence felt that the world was about to collapse. If Fujimaru Ritsuka hadn't rescued him in time, and Lawrence's own will was very strong, Lawrence must have become the same as Zenobi at this time. Ah, like William Tell, the servant of "self" was killed.
"This is Croydon, an area in London, England." Touching Simonetta's head, Lawrence took two deep breaths and smiled, "Has Simon been here before?"
"No... Simon used to stay in Genoa, and then he went to Florence, and then... Giuliano?" Simon's eyes froze.
"Okay, okay, stop thinking about it, you will become stupid, let's keep walking." Lawrence interrupted Simonetta's thinking, gently stroked her head, and continued walking forward.
The warning gem has been floating about a hundred meters around Lawrence, sensing everything around him.
Although Lawrence's perception ability is strong, it is still inferior to Oceanus, who he encountered at the third singularity. However, Caster itself is not a job that focuses on spying on intelligence.
"Huh?" Lawrence noticed something.
"That's...a child in front of me?" Through the thick fog, Lawrence couldn't see clearly, but he could feel that a child-shaped object seemed to be curled up on the ground directly in front of him, with his body still carrying Trembling a little.
Lawrence ran forward two steps, wanting to explore what was going on, but found that something else had been included in his perception.
"Is this feeling... the one I encountered yesterday?" A drop of cold sweat ran down Lawrence's face.
She looked around nervously, looking for mirrors or phantoms that might be hidden in the dark, but...
Nothing was found. The only magical reactions that could be sensed were the object and the child.
etc.
Does that kid have a magical reaction in his body?
Lawrence shook his somewhat slow mind and felt it carefully.
......really have!
So, in other words, is the child with the magic reaction the defense mechanism of this object?
A particularly powerful eidolon?
Lawrence didn't get any closer and stopped Simonetta who was happily continuing to move forward.
Opening his palm, a gemstone blade appeared in Lawrence's hand.
...Let’s try it out.
The jeweled blade flew in the direction of the magical child and scratched the child lying on the ground.
In a place where Lawrence could not see, the gemstone blade made a crisp sound as it hit the child. Although it did not cause any injuries to the child, it did cause damage to the body. pain".
Arnold One... breaks free of its circumstances.
He was freed from that infinite and crazy torture hell.
He sat up from the ground tremblingly, his dull eyes flashing with a terrifying red light.
"No one... can save me..."
Bloody tears flowed from his eyes and fell on himself.
He gritted his teeth and his whole body was shaking violently.
...Looking towards the other end of the street, that is——
Lawrence's direction.
Lawrence felt as if his heart was suddenly grasped and his pupils shrank sharply.
On Arnold's face, amid the gnashing of teeth, tears streaming down his face, and the hysterical expression, the shell of his face began to disappear.
Gu Yao
The inner shell hidden under the outer shell was revealed, the terrifying compound eyes and the terrifying teeth.
"Jolgen..." Such words were muttered in that terrifying and weird mouth.
Lawrence suddenly realized something, picked up Simonetta, turned around and ran away.
but......
It's too late.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
After being tortured by madness, the monster came out of its cage, filled with anger, resentment, and solid and frightening pathos, and screamed and roared throughout Croydon.
It released its magic power crazily, and the surrounding ground was shattered into powder.
It stopped roaring, its legs began to be filled with magic, and then——
A crazy chase in the direction of Lawrence.
Lawrence felt the huge, crazy, and chaotic magic power behind him approaching quickly, and he was extremely anxious.
No, at least...let Simon escape.
"Simon, listen to me!" Lawrence looked down at Simonetta who was being held in his arms, with urgency in his eyes, "Run! Run as fast as you can!"
"Sister Harley?" Simon still didn't understand the current situation and looked at Lawrence in confusion.
"Listen to my sister and run!" Lawrence used all his strength to throw Simonetta far away, while he stopped.
"Nora!" she shouted loudly.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh".
"Come and kill me! Let Simon go!" Lawrence raised his arms, preparing to welcome his exit.
She had understood this kind of thing from the moment she realized that the little child lying there was Arnold.
Because Arnold One, no... Nora Broll, it was his descendant's fault, and it was also her fault.
It was the product of extreme resentment against his bloodline, a monster capable of destroying London.
So, at least...keep Simon alive! Bring the news here to the Master!
It's a pity that my journey may be coming to an end here...
She couldn't help but think sadly, but looked at the Arnold No. 1 that had already rushed over with determination.
but......
A small figure rushed past her.
Lawrence was startled.
"S-Simon!" She stretched out her hand to catch Simonetta, but Simonetta's speed parameter was much faster than hers.
"I have to protect Sister Harley!!!" Simon entered a fighting state, and——
Directly liberating the Noble Phantasm!
"The false teeth of love----"
boom--! ! !
Simonetta, who had liberated the true name of the Noble Phantasm, ran directly into Arnold One.
but......
Arnold No. 1 did not dodge or dodge, and directly took Simonetta's Noble Phantasm, and then, Simonetta——
The hammer hit the ground, opened its huge mouth, and sprayed out blazing white flames towards Simonetta's small body.
"Simon?"
“Simon——————!!!”
