#318
318. Mission Type, Transcendence (3)
Aaron put his hand to his ear.
A sound came from the small communicator plugged into the ear.
<Who is Frey?>
Sirius’ voice.
<No results found. It is an unidentified object. It doesn’t seem to be a residual deity or monster. Presumed to be a mutant contaminant!>
Mutant Contaminant.
Aaron narrowed his eyes.
‘It’s strange.’
I had a bad feeling.
<Yournet, stop the transmission for a moment.>
<Looks like I’ve got something to do.>
Aaron looked around.
Sleipnir, who was advancing through the middle of the city, was remarkably slow.
Rocket fuel gushed out of the aft end of the airship, but it did not come out at the proper speed.
‘Is that guy interfering?’
Judging by the back and forth of the conversation, it seemed that a mutant contaminant with the code name ‘Fray’ had interfered with the Airship’s system.
“Why are you procrastinating? Entrusting Nihaku has its limits.”
Lidigion looked at Nihaku on the deck.
She was running on the building next to the airship, shooting torpedoes around her.
<There is a problem.>
Yurnet said in a low voice.
Speed is the life of this mission. It was necessary to cover the field as quickly as possible before the contaminants that detected the intruder rushed in. But if something like this happens… … .
<This is an unexpected situation. The airship’s engines are damaged. It’s not physical damage, but you won’t be able to gain speed in this state.>
Kyaaaagh!
Jigsaw Jigsaw!
“Eulachachacha!”
Nihaku was busy running around with the taints.
In the meantime, anti-aircraft gun barrels fired.
<Hacking. This is remote interference. With this level of interference… … It can be compared to the lower deities. I guess I’ll have to go back.>
“It’s about getting rid of mutant contaminants.”
Lidigion reached for the hilt.
“There is no time. What are his coordinates?”
<Backtrack completed. Emergency engine start. From now on, Sleipnir will start tracking down and eliminating the unidentified entity ‘Frey’.>
clap.
Part of the airship’s side opened, revealing a large propeller.
Sleipnir’s direction took a turn to the right.
<I’ll leave the role of dealing with the target to you two.>
“Any info about him?”
<As a result of analyzing the wavelength, it is a Godhead mimic.>
“You must be a fairy.”
<It must have been seriously contaminated. Be careful.>
Lydigion nodded.
‘fairy.’
Aaron drew in a breath.
“Isn’t that strange?”
“What’s strange?”
“According to Mr. Sizel’s explanation, I heard that all the fairies were evacuated from Server 1. But why…”
“There are losers everywhere.
“but…….”
“Aaron Nidelk. What is our goal, haven’t you been told?”
Ridigion’s eyes grew cold.
‘Know.’
to save my brother.
Aaron was fully aware of what was important.
Even if one or two of the members here died, that goal had to be achieved.
“Our goal is to save the Master. If it gets in the way of our mission, we will remove it.
“…”
“Let’s go.”
Lydigion tapped the railing.
Gee! The propellers spun wildly, and the airship began to move forward.
<The emergency engine cannot be used for long. Please finish within 30 minutes. I’m going back to sending work.>
“Remember. Nihaku!”
“Yep yep! Follow me!”
After hitting the roof of the building, Nihaku did a series of somersaults and ran to the side of the building.
It was significantly slower than before, so it was possible to follow the airship even outside.
“Don’t mind the minnows and focus on the mission!”

“It will.”
Bang!
The thunderbolt’s lightning swept away a group of pollutants that fell onto the deck.
“Come… … mind… … .”
crackle. support position.
The voice of the taint rang out again.
An unpleasant sound mixed with noise.
“You must protect… … keep… … sun… … .”
“I don’t know what you’re protecting.”
Lydigion sneered.
His hand was already on the scabbard.
Sleipnir curves to the left in a dense building area.
Less than 100m left to the location of the target.
rattle!
The airship rocked once more, and then a loud warning beep rang out.
[Teeling!]
[The airship ‘Sleipnir”s self-destruct system has been activated.]
[Estimated time – 00:20:00]
<Poem, Mr. Siris!>
The operator hurriedly shouted.
<Is that Frey, the fairy’s doing? You are superior beyond your imagination. Niflheim’s core security net was so easily penetrated.>
self-destruct.
Aaron looked back.
Red lights announcing an emergency were flashing on the deck.
<It’s Siris. Things have changed. Deal with the target within 20 minutes.>
“Twenty minutes.”
<The self-destruction could be prevented with Yurnet, but the transfer operation is too delayed. Any more is dangerous. You must complete the Bifrost before reaching the barrier.>
“Enough time. I’ll take care of it in 10 minutes.”
Beep.
Lidigion turned off the communicator.
Then he turned to Aaron.
“Rookie, this is not the time to examine the situation.”
“…”
“You can stay out if you’re not confident. I’ll take care of it myself.”
Aaron shook his head.
‘Should I kill him?’
Lydigion’s words were not wrong.
If Sleipnir is lost, the success rate of the operation drops to less than 1/10.
Because it meant that I had to go through the monsters blocking my way with my bare body.
“promise… … I did it. come out… … together… … .”
“Cleaning done! Looks like there aren’t many enemies here!”
Nihaku landed on the deck.
His entire body was stained with the dark blood of the taint.
Hundreds of monsters were dealt with without difficulty.
“Is it the influence of the fairies doing something?”
“It seems to have grown in strength by consuming other taints. For hundreds of years.”
The airship passed under the overpass.
As Ridigion said, at some point the number of contaminants drastically decreased.
Only a hazy fog enveloped the street.
Not too far away, an empty lot in a shabby park.
A girl stood staggering.
“right… … ugh… … .”
The girl hugged herself.
Wearing a one-piece dress that was dirty and sloppy.
A face that cannot be seen properly in the shadows.
Curly black hair hung down to her bare feet.
[Warning!]
[Special Contaminant Lv.213]
“me… … I did my best… … .”
A sobbing voice came out of the girl’s mouth.
“Looks like you’re a kid, you’ve graduated.”
Lydigion laughed.
‘That girl is Frey.’
It was completely different in appearance from the fairies Aaron had seen.
It didn’t even have the wings characteristic of a fairy, and although it was small, it had the appearance of a full-fledged human.
Probably because I spent a lot of time here.
‘It seems that there is no rationality.’
Frey’s pupils were hollow.
She was just complaining with a blank expression.
Server 1, affected by the vigilance, said that hundreds of years had already passed.
In the cloud of pollution, that fairy’s mind must have been slowly ruined.
“I miss you… … .」
Sleipnir stopped 30 meters from the girl.
That moment.
“Let the complaining be done in the afterlife.”
Lidigion, holding on to his attitude, jumped in.
Frey’s eyes caught his new form.
Lydegion’s toes stood on the dried and twisted branch.
The thin branches did not sway at all.
A workmanship like a god.
Ridigion took another leap.
A distance of tens of meters was shortened within 3 seconds.
The fairy’s level is 213.
They broke through the security of Sleipnir, which is surrounded by dozens of layers of firewalls.
It was a much stronger individual than a normal contaminant, but it was nothing compared to him.
“Come… … May!」
pop! Puffup!
A continuous wave of magic power exploded where he stood.
Ridigion lightly escaped the blast radius and approached Frey.
Pupperpuppung!
left. stomach. under. right.
Lidigion’s body bent leaving an afterimage.
Not even a single attack hits.
「Quaaaah!」
A pitch-black spear extended from behind Frey’s back.
Although the tip of the spear split into dozens of branches, it aimed at Lidigion’s body.
The basis of martial arts is footwork.
The movement that reached the stage was like magic.
It seemed that the window was avoiding him on its own.
[estimated time – 00:16:27]
sereung.
The attitude was pulled out of the scabbard.
The straightened blade slid into the girl’s neck.
“ah… … iced coffee… … Aaaah!」
Don’t stop breathing right away.
Ridigion’s wrists were strong.
and.
Kang!
A rugged spear bar blocked the blade.
Lidigion stopped walking.
「Ugh… … eww… … ugh… … .”
The girl sat down and covered her head.
It was as if he had just realized that he was about to die.
“What are you doing?”
Lydigion said in a cold voice.
It was Aaron, the fourth member of the thirteenth floor, who deflected his blade.
Kigigigigigg!
The blade and the spearhead collided and sparks flew.
Aaron’s body was pushed back, but he never let go of the spear.
“Help me… … Loki… … .”
Aaron looked back.
Frey was holding her head and crying.
“It’s not possible.”
“Move.”
Suddenly, the blade of Lidigion disappeared.
“Big!”
Kang!
Aaron instinctively swung the spear.
My eyes flashed with the pain of breaking my wrist.
“Get out of the way.”
“It’s not possible!”
Aaron gritted it.
Hundreds of blades moved before his eyes.
Swordsmanship, magic tricks.
Cagan!
The tip of the spear deflected the attitude.
“Kuk!”
A long line of blood was drawn on Aaron’s left thigh.
Had he reacted just a little too late, his leg would have been amputated.
“No two times.”
“You mustn’t kill me!”
Aaron gritted it.
“That girl was the fairy in charge of Taoni.”
“Taoni? Where was the master?”
“yes.”
I thought it was somehow familiar.
‘You’re a burden to Han. stupid guy! A subject with no talent.’
When I was in Taonier, I used to get bullied by fairies.
Why can’t you just do that?
but.
‘joy! Take this.’
At dawn, when Aaron was about to collapse and went back to his room, she used to hand him a health potion.
“Didn’t Yurnet tell you that my brother took a Taoni fairy! This Frey is that fairy!”
Lydegion looked to the side.
Aaron could see what was there.
[estimated time – 00:14:11]
Scheduled time for Sleipnir to self-destruct.
It was put up by Frey.
“Are you unable to tell the difference between front and back? If you leave this guy alive, the self-destruction will not be lifted. Are you going to explode the airship?”
“We have to find another way.”
“Why should I?”
Lydegion continued.
“No way… are you going to tell me to abandon Sleipnir?”
“…”
“You want to run through a city with thousands of Pollutants in the way?”
“If you need.”
Ridigion’s eyebrows twitched.
Aaron seemed to understand the meaning of that expression.
‘ha.’
Goosebumps ran across Aaron’s skin.
A thick and vivid life that seemed like the body would be crushed.
‘still… … .’
this is not
“I’m disappointed in Muden. Bringing such an idiot as heir. I’ll give you 10 seconds. Get out of the way. Or I’ll cut you.”
“You don’t have to give it a chance.”
said Aaron.
“Because I won’t get out of the way.”
Cagan!
Aaron swung his spear upwards.
Sparks flew in the air.
Lidigion had attacked.
‘I can not see.’
The technology gap is stark.
I didn’t even know where to swing or how to move.
“Isn’t your goal to save your brother? If that’s the case, you must never kill this sprite!”
“Why?”
“This fairy is my brother’s precious companion.”
Lidigion glared at the trembling Frey.
“Did Master abandon his comrades like this?”
“There will be circumstances!”
“Regardless of the circumstances, we will remove any obstacles to our goal. Don’t you guys even know the basics of the mission?”
“You really don’t know.”
Aaron said in a low voice.
“If we kill Frey, he won’t accept us.”
“…”
“Even if it means losing the airship and dying on foot.”
Aaron’s words continued.
“I can’t even lose my brother’s heart.”
