46 7. Open the door.

I was hunting down Myka.

His subordinate [user] is no longer an enemy of [fixed damage].

Even with Myka's [Flower Guardian] skills, my skill damage cannot be prevented.

From the approaching end, the [Messengers] disappear.

"Damn...... that's enough. Protect me!

Myka turned a dozen more villagers' bodies into [your], and put them in line around herself.

"Have you given up the attack and defended yourself?"

But that's no use either.

If I pack the distance, I can wipe him out with every defense.

"I'll have my orb back."

"Give it back? I'm not kidding! This belongs to Master Valerie! You don't deserve to have this! I'll never give it to you!

"Then I will take it by force"

I walked straight ahead.

"Knock..."

Myka lags behind like she was pressured.

"I did all this to the village of Yurin. Don't think you'll forgive me."

At least I'm not going to let you get away with it.

If you miss it, he'll probably do the same thing somewhere else.

Before the sacrifice increases any further, it definitely ends here.

"Yes! Whatever you want, just stop! I'll run in the meantime!

Myka exclaimed.

At the same time, the [messengers] who were protecting his surroundings are coming at you.

One advances from the front, the other throws a hammer.

Some flew further with the wings of light and attacked from the air.

All of it will vanish as soon as it touches my black scaly powder.

"Don't let them get away with it, Myka."

I walked even further.

Speed is better for him.

But I can seal off all his methods of attack.

It would be possible to connect with Shea somewhere and capture him.

─ And that was then.

'Sounds like your awakening is progressing, my host. Above all.'

A mixed smile sounds from the hollow.

Glossy woman's voice.

[Darkness].

"Oh, my God, come out of nowhere"

You only answer me at random when I ask questions from this side.

Why did you come out at this time...?

"[Darkness] and [Light] are mutually reinforcing beings. The stronger [the light] illuminates, the stronger and deeper [the darkness] becomes again '

Explain [Darkness].

'Growing up more than ever [in darkness] is likely to give you the opportunity to move on to a new phase. The Black Phase will open.

"Clifoto......?

I frowned at the word I was unfamiliar with.

At the next moment, something like black mist spreads in front of me.

From beyond, a huge gate emerged that would be several hundred meters high.

"This is..."

A black purple glow lights up inside the gate.

My vision's dimmed, and...

If you noticed, you were in the wilderness spreading everywhere.

"Where, is this...!?"

At least it's not a lilyn village.

A creepy dirt wilderness with a red and black colour continued to the horizon.

I didn't think so.

I remember what Valerie told me at the lab.

The answer returned to my question about what [light] or [darkness] is.

"Simply put, something with enormous energy to sleep in a space different from this world,"

Could that "different space" be... this place?

It's your answer.

Soon, there was a shadow on my side.

Glossy dark hair that reaches your feet.

In contrast, white and smooth skin everywhere.

A black dress that melts all around you is like a noble lady.

There is no glow in those eyes, like [darkness] itself...

"You..."

"This is the first time I've seen you so clearly embodied."

[Darkness] It was.

An old beauty stares at me with a demonic smile mix.

This guy, was he looking like this?

I've seen him blurry before......

"This is the 'black phase'. A world where [darkness] is darker and more obsessed than in this world. It's also my home town. '

"Is it another world after all?

To my inquiry, [Darkness] nodded quietly.

- And not if you're talking long.

"There are Shea and Yurin in the other world. We have to get back soon."

Two people get killed by Myka......!

'This place has a different flow of time than in this world. You don't have to panic.'

[Darkness] smiled.

"When you leave here, I'll be back in a moment."

"Well, hurry up and put it back"

I told her.

"'Black Phase' and nothing to do with it"

'Are you sure? Aren't you craving more power?

[Darkness] rings his throat and laughs at him as he comes.

A further force...

Yes, I am looking for a more powerful [dark] force for the battle against the Euno to come.

"Is there anything in this world I can do to make you stronger?"

'First you have to know'

In response to my question, [Darkness] returned a teasing answer.

'We have to meet. You have to face it. to that being.'

"... without a lot of trouble, could you be specific"

"It's a woman's lust to scorch the lords, isn't it, my host?

[Darkness] seems somewhat happy.

'Let me show you. To lead you to further [darkness]. Come on, come here.'

Thus...

The 'Black Phase' journey began.
