624 – Big Bang, Big Bang

Slowly, I am pulled towards the [Black Hole].

『…Treant, withdraw [Woven Armour] and return to tree spirit form.』

As he is now, he’s part way between his tree spirit and normal forms. If he were to be completely in normal form, he would be too heavy for me to fly, and if he were entirely in tree spirit form, his defence would be too low.

But, if he were to get hit by [Big Bang] now, there’s a good chance he wouldn’t survive. I’ll endure the [Big Bang] the same way as last time.

…Then, the origin matter will be low on MP, and I’ll go all to kill it. Aro and treant’s roles end here.

『Master-dono… Stay safe.』

Murmuring, treant withdraws his [Woven Armour] to completely return to his bird-like tree spirit form. I stretch my neck out and to pluck him from the air before he can fall into the [Black Hole].

As I’m gradually pulled closer to the origin matter, the [Black Hole] suddenly cuts off.

The twisting lines on the origin matter’s surface begin to undulate and distort. A number of strange rays of light escape from it, as it begins to shine brighter and brighter. Last time, this was the precursor to [Big Bang].

『Bring it on, origin matter! It’ll be a final test of endurance!』

I shout, glaring back at the origin matter.

At the same time, I use [Ideal Weapon]. Thick armour covers my entire body, shining with blue light.

【[Oneiros Armour]: Value L (Legendary)】
【[Defence: +190]】
【A large armour gleaming a faint blue and violet.】
【It is made using the scales of the [Dream Dragon] said to rule the world of dreams.】
【In addition to having high resistances to various attribute skills, illusion skills are completely ineffective against the bearer of this armour.】

Then, I deploy a [Mirror Counter] wall of light between myself and the origin matter.

『Master-dono… It won’t do much, but I’ll use [Vitality Conferment].』

『Ah, thanks.』

I reply through [Telepathy]. [Vitality Conferment] is a world treant skill that raises the vitality of all nearby life, healing everything in the area.

The origin matter is enveloped in iridescent light as a gigantic explosion occurs. In an instant, my vision is consumed by flames. Rather than a blast, it feels more like I’ve been punched by the fist of a giant, wrapped in flames. My [Mirror Counter] and [Oneiros Armour] easily shatter and burn away.

My body burns. My sense of vision disappears. My eyeballs have been burnt away. I really can’t get used to this feeling. 

I need to repair my body and restore HP before the origin matter can launch a follow up. Repairing my wings with [Autoregeneration], I open them wide to ride the [Big Bang] afterwaves to push myself forwards.

I’ll reach the ground and run away for a while with [Roll]! It’ll give it time to regenerate mana too, but if I try to stick around now, I could easily be killed.

Yet, a strong force pulls on my body, slowing me down before I can land.

『…Ah?』

Regenerating my eyeballs, I glance back. The origin matter is using [Black Hole] to pull me back.

Th-the intent to kill is too high! I thought its ability to think was weakened by [God of Destruction], but apparently it remembers that I survived [Big Bang] last time and ran away. It doesn’t want to give me a chance to escape.

But, I have a boost from [Big Bang]. I make my wings larger with [Dragon Mirror] and desperately push myself forwards.

Even so, I’m gradually overpowered. My body decelerates and comes to a stop. Then, I slowly begin to fall back up towards the origin matter.

It has to be throwing a huge amount of MP into this full-power [Black Hole]. But it must know that if I get away here, it’s my victory. I hurriedly regenerate my scales. If I were it were to hit me while my scales are missing, the damage would be a lot worse.

『[High Rest]! [High Rest]!』

From inside my mouth, a warm power washes over me. Treant’s throwing his last dregs of mana into healing me.

『Thanks, treant…!』

Probably, the origin matter will use [Dark Ray] right after [Black Hole] ends. As long as I can endure it, I’ll be able to easily kill the manaless origin matter with [Dimension Claw]. 

It shouldn’t be possible for it to fire [Dark Ray] with crazy rapid-fire any more. The cost is low for its power, but once its MP drops below one-tenth, spamming it should be impossible. I’ll focus on evasion and let it completely use up its MP.

The origin matter’s [Black Hole] cuts off. I fly in the opposite direction as fast as I can. [Dark Rays] should be coming any second. They should be coming.

I can’t hear the sound of [Dark Rays] cutting through the air. Did it use up all of its precious MP on [Black Hole]…?

Thinking that as I look back, I see the patterns on its surface undulating again, as iridescent light begins escaping. It’s winding up another [Big Bang].

『T-two in a row!?』

I still haven’t finished my [Autoregeneration], and my HP recovery can’t keep up. I hurriedly deploy [Mirror Counter] and equip [Oneiros Armour].

『M-made it in time…!』

Immediately, a second [Big Bang] engulfs me. My hasty wall of light and Dream Dragon armour shatter and are erased. My thin, not-fully-regenerated scales are penetrated by the fierce flames.

My preparations were incomplete, so the damage is worse than last time. The moment it hits me, I completely lose consciousness.

『[High Rest]!』

Treant’s [High Rest] brings me back. A huge blast wave is propelling me forwards.

I fall to the ground, my wings completely burnt away.

But… I somehow survived.
