266. Dethrone
In the flames she walked out.
Hot air coming through the airways. It felt like I was in a chemotherapy room.
You must have seen this too If we put our minds to it, we would have been grilled whole with the Lucette.
<It’s been a while.>
Siris walked out and spread her left hand.
The flames that had been wrapped around his body dissipated, and a single red sword was pulled out.
Flame Sword Levatein. It was the best masterpiece of the Niflheim series I made.
<Is this the first time since we met in Niflheim?>
The luster of her hair, which seemed to be wrapped in flames, had disappeared.
Both eyes returned to their usual green color. A blonde, green-eyed female knight dressed in silver armor.
It was exactly what I had imagined of Siris.
“Isn’t it a sudden timing for a reunion? It was during a very busy time.”
“From now on, you will not hear Marklamda’s name on Server 2.”
Siris landed on the deck of the Lucette.
At the same time, the waves of flames that were raging across the field dissipated. The hot air subsided in an instant.
“Master, you just have to focus on your original mission. Until you clear all the floors and return to Earth. We’ll take care of any annoying things that appear before that.”
Siris said expressionlessly.
There is not an inch of movement in the sculpturally neat features.
Like looking at a plaster statue.
“That’s what you’re talking about.”
“Isn’t it time to share a touching hug?”
It seems like empty words to me, but the face doesn’t smile at all.
“I will say something as the submaster of Niflheim and the leader of the 1st party that has been with you for a long time.”
Siris looked at me with clear eyes.
“Close your eyes, close your ears, and return to Earth. Forget what happened here and live your life. In the end, time will solve everything.”
“…”
“Master, how many times have you been fooled? You don’t have to listen to the CEO’s honeyed words or the director’s nonsense. What about server 1, what about server 1, just let it go. It’s nonsense that even dogs won’t listen to.”
I was silent.
As Siris said, she and I weren’t even close enough to film a touching reunion scene.
A long time ago, we used to quarrel all the time. It was such a headache to have different opinions on even the smallest details. Every time I wanted to do something, I would stand up and make a claim. Perhaps if she hadn’t been for her only four-star birth, she would have been grounded earlier.
But it was on the lower floors, and the higher you go… … I thought it gradually changed.
Was it my own misunderstanding? I swallowed the bitter feeling and opened my mouth.
“Siris.”
“yes.”
“Did you come all the way here to say that? You just wanted to say something like that to me?”
I opened my mouth.
“Where have you been? What have you been doing? I heard you were doing some research. Ever since I came here. Apparently, you seem to know quite a bit of information I don’t.”
“…isn’t it?”
Siris continued.
“I’m giving you advice because I know.”
“…”
“Don’t get me wrong. You’re not the Loki of old. You’re just an ordinary hero here. You have no right to command me.”
“That’s right.”
“You… have become weak. The old you weren’t this clumsy. You were thorough. Cool-headed. Judgment. Efficiency. You were perfect. That’s why we respected the Master. But what about now?”
Siris looked back.
There were floating remains of the airship left over from the fire.
“No matter how many times I’ve been fooled, will you believe what they say?”
“I never really believed it.”
“If that’s true.”
Siris held out her hand to me.
“Pass the Book of Reversal. Master, you can become 7-star even without anything like this. This means it’s useless except for the 1st server’s pass. You still have it, don’t you?”
“Siris, you’re so excited.”
“I am extremely cold.”
“What the hell is going on…”
“stop!”
Siris gritted his teeth and shouted.
muttered afterwards.
“In this world… there is no hope.”
A blank look appeared on Siris’ face.
The face of a man in despair who has let go of all hope and desire.
However, that expression disappeared for a very short time, as if passing by, and an inorganic expression like a mask was engraved on it again.
At that moment, I was able to notice where Siris had been.
1 server.
“Master, hand over the Book of Reversal.”
“…”
“I won’t say it twice.”

Hwareuk.
Flames burned from Levatein’s crimson blade.
“This won’t happen. There’s no such thing as a pure robber.”
Siris looked to the side with cold eyes.
There, Belquist was leaning against the railing.
Since Siris didn’t particularly choose the place, all of our conversation would have leaked out.
“I don’t know what kind of relationship you have with your senior, but how about that?”
“that’s right!”
Jenna jumped out from behind the pillar.
Jenna glared at Siris with her cheeks inflated.
“Your brother hates it. That item he has been protecting with great difficulty, even risking his life. For some strange reason, taking it away for nothing, it’s kind of inconsiderate…”
Siris’ eyes turned red.
Before the two of them turned to ashes, I took out the Book of Reverse Heaven and threw it away.
“Take it. Don’t touch the innocent child.”
“……received.”
Siris raised the Book of Reverse Heaven with his left hand and opened it.
“Purification of worthless things.”
Hwareuk!
At the end of the book, the fire started to move.
Even treasures of unknown value have durability. The red flames spread all over the book in an instant, and the Book of Reversal disappeared without leaving a trace.
‘That’s… … .’
It was a keepsake left by El Cid for me.
It contained the hopes and wishes of Dorado, who had perished.
I don’t know how the dead El Cid will react when he sees this.
“Why did you hand it over meekly?”
“Yes, brother. You never know what will happen if we join forces!”
“Never try to fight. Even if you die.”
The grade is high, and the level is not different.
“Is that enough?”
Belquist touched his sword.
Jenna was also glaring at Siris.
“Brother, if you aim well for your weak points…”
“There’s no such thing as weakness.”
I asserted
I knew better than anyone else.
“If you tell me to lie down, do it, and if you say ki, crawl. If you don’t want to lose.”
Siris was looking at the scattered remains of books.
Outwardly, no power is felt. Just an ordinary heretic. However, having watched it myself, I know how out-of-standard this guy is. The other 1st party members were also strong, but Siris was one step higher than that.
‘complete.’
If 7 stars surpassed the hero,
Siris was a being who reached the ultimate of a hero.
Only possesses 13 S-class skills.
Each skill maximizes the synergy of each other while making up for the shortcomings.
And driving a wedge here was the flame sword Levatein and the U-class imprint named ‘Ifrit’. To complete Ifrit, I had to synthesize 7 different types of S-class imprints.
‘The downside… … does not exist.’
There are no weaknesses.
Whether on the ground or underground, in space or in another world, it can exert 100% of its power, and it does not distinguish between one-on-one and many-on-one, close-range and long-range, physical and magic, attack and defense.
It was truly complete.
“So, I gave them what they wanted. Are you done with your business now? I want you to go back. There’s still cleanup left.”
“master.”
“why.”
“Are you really going to return to Earth?
“I just burned the Book of Reversal. I have something left.”
I spread both hands out.
there’s nothing. The things I tried to protect while putting on all sorts of shows were eventually taken away.
became empty-handed again.
“Can you swear to me that you will return to Earth without a second thought?”
“…”
“If you ever come back to Loki, I’ll take any punishment. But not now. Don’t be fooled by their poor performance.”
“It’s a clumsy performance.”
I thought of El Cid coughing up blood with a knife stuck in his heart.
I don’t want to think that it’s clumsy acting either. I shrugged and muttered.
“Someone tells me to stay, and someone else tells me to go back, and I don’t know which rhythm to dance to, one.”
“You don’t swear…”
“You don’t know what’s going on in the world.”
When I came here, I couldn’t come on my own.
But even when you go, you have to be kicked out in the same way?
“To blindly turn off without telling me the reason, if it were you, would you listen attentively? I’d turn my back on the person who was trying to leave, hey.”
“Sometimes it’s good not knowing.”
“It’s not you who decides that.”
“You’ll know when you see it.”
Flames engulfed Siris’ entire body.
Ifrit Form. It was an obvious battle stance.
Siris, who floated into the air, swung the Levatein long.
<Execution begins.>
Roaring!
Long flames spread from the tip of Levatein’s blade.
The flames blazed brilliantly as if enveloping the entire field.
<Nihaku Guest Fel.>
Paperweight!
Flames mingled with lightning and exploded.
A small girl jumped out of it.
<Muden Nidelk.>
Whoops.
The space shook in a straight line, and a boy wearing a spear walked by.
<Lidigion.>
A young man with three swords crossed came out.
<Yournet Seed.>
Flames and fog merged, and a woman wearing a pure white robe was summoned.
<And I, Siris Argentheim.>
Siris lowered Levatein.
draft call. It was the unique authority of Siris, the pinnacle and sub-master of Niflheim 20,000 heroes. She was able to summon 1 party member when she felt the need for herself.
‘But this… … .’
I looked around them.
Five of them surrounded the Lucette I was on in a circle.
<We have an obligation to help the Master return safely. Even if it goes against your will.>
“What are we going to do?”
<It was only Loki that we gave our allegiance to, not one Israt.>
Siris replied coldly.
“It’s all for Master. Please forgive me.”
Yurnet closed her eyes tightly.
Muden was whistling with his hand on the back of his head, and Ridigion just lowered his head.
Only Nihaku opened his mouth.
“Anyway, isn’t it a little harsh on the Master? Actually, Sirini is the most Master among us…”
<Nihaku.>
“…I’ll stay still.”
I sighed.
“So, what are you doing?”
<This is a simple seal. lest you be led astray. So as not to be seduced by strange things.>
“Are you trying to control me?”
<I will gladly accept this punishment on the day you return as a master.>
Is it necessary to come out like this?
Yeah, I was really hesitant. If I had 100% tried to return to Earth, I would have rejected the offer right away in a Q&A with Alpha Zero. There is also a freea case. Others have adapted to Taoni life over time. Even so, if Siris had seriously persuaded me, I would probably have gone back.
what did you see there
Are you rushing me out like this?
I looked around the 1st party.
Except for Siris, all the members avoided my gaze.
Yurnet in particular was biting her lip with a teary expression.
<Now, I will ban all of your outside activities except for missions. Niflheim is responsible for the external defense, and will ensure that no disruption is made to the mission. With your skills, you should be able to climb the tower.>
“…”
<Until we return to Earth, we will revoke all authority related to the Master. You are… … .>
Siris aimed her Levatein at me.
<You are no longer the master of Niflheim.>
