Odette was taken aback by Shion's unexpected claim.
'Didn't you intend to swallow the reins?'
Odette intended to do everything she could to purify it. Combat is left entirely to experienced and skilled people.
Then Shion said in a bitter voice.
"Don't you see the number of people who came in droves over there? There is no choice for 4 5-class dogs. If the command system is dispersed, everyone will be annihilated."
"...Your Excellency"
"It's a ridiculous plan. If you're not confident, beat him up. I want to follow His Highness' opinion, too."
Odette blinked. It wasn't because she didn't have confidence. She was ready to take on any task if necessary. Since it was her idea, she would take the biggest responsibility.
However, she didn't expect Shion to make such a claim.
'What is it? This anxiety that I have been feeling since earlier.'
Shion is the most realistic and conservative of the four male protagonists. However, Shion continued to sympathize with her most positively. Normally, he would be the first to point out the flimsy plan.
"If necessary, of course I will."
Odette replied, studying Shion's expression.
"You're the one who risked your life for such a hopeless thing. So take responsibility and swallow the reins."
However, her anxiety seemed to be unfounded.
[ No other way exists. ]
As soon as she accepted his plan, the status window that had been in front of her disappeared the whole time.
Instead, another phrase came to mind.
[ Don't worry about how to use this ability, the status screen will actively help ]
'Does it mean that there is at least hope?'
"Close your eyes, Odette. I'm going to do something disgusting in your eyes from now on."
With that, Shion unbuttoned his coat. Even though he only had one hand, he was quite skillful in hand gestures.
He must be trying to take the reins off his heart.
Odette turned to turn his back on Shion.
However, it wasn't just a sloppy sound.
Puck, puck, puck, the sound of kicking people continued. It was a bloody sound that could only be heard at the scene of military absurdity
"Arise, Bastard."
It was the sound of Shion waking up Karl, who was in a mess.
The sound is louder than the vibration of Rosalyn's monsters hitting the sphere. It was not a sound that could be made when a human hit a human.
'If he gets beaten like that, won't Karl die?"
Worried about that, Odette opened her eyes and tried to dissuade Shion.
Victor covered her eyes with his palm.
"Originally, the motherfucker educates the asshole."
He refers to the mythical monster in a very irreverent way.
"Don't think about anything else, just focus on how to use the three of us."
Victor's advice follows.
Seeing the sound of the buttons of his suit being torn apart behind her back, it seemed that Victor was also ripping the reins from his heart.
"Victor is right."
It is a plan that has a higher chance of dying together.
There was still a feeling of reluctance that she didn't know what it was, but Odette forced herself to shake it all off. Needless impatience can ruin your work.
Odette focused on what she had to do.
Among the monsters out there, what is Rosalyn's main focus? Now that everything has been revealed, what is Rosalyn's strategy?
'Don't forget that Victor and Shion's abilities are the worst against water. What was the most useful of John's organs used in the Redemption?'
As she calmed down in thought, Victor removed the palm that had covered her eyes.
"Here."
Soon, the light green and purple gemstones were in Odette's hands
On the palm of his hand, there were three jewels as small ax small beads.
"Odette. At worst, just focus on surviving."
Shion repeatedly asked Odette.
Sign.
[ Don't worry about how to use this ability, the status screen will actively help ]
Odette looked at the status window once more, like a rope.
'Yes. At least they don't put out crazy phrases like the status window before.'
That status window was much better than the phrase "All the Transcendents love you, so kill them with joy." Even if the odds were low, Odette was more willing to bet on where everyone lived.
Odette put three jewels in her mouth and swallowed them. The small beads glided smoothly down her throat.
It was, as John said that it was intuitive and could be understood immediately; she felt a gradual connection with the monsters.
Odette looked ahead, feeling the sensation spreading throughout her body. Then she made eye contact with Shion.
His lips muttered something.
So, rry....The sun?
"It's meaningless. After all, if you are bound by a human body, there is a difference between you and a liberated monster."
At that moment, why did John's words come to mind?
Flashes. In the blink of an eye, something warm splashed on her cheek.
'What...?'
...And three corpses were placed in front of her. The bodies of John, Victor, and Shion.
Odette was stunned by the unbelievable sight. When she raised her palm to see that it was splashing on her cheek, she felt even more distant
'Blood...You're right.'
Is this really reality?
It was definitely a moment. It was just a brief moment of blinking. How can it be so instantaneous...
It was immediately recognizable that it was a monster that tore their bodies apart.
As if to prove her, their bodies were all charred with cut-off sections. There was no way to ride like this without being struck by lightning from within. It was only the ability to tear the transcendent into four pieces without dignity.
She didn't even have time to feel miserable, and the sense of connection with the monsters became clear.
Because of that, Odette could understand. The moment the reins pass from the Transcendent to Odette. In the vacuum of dominance without reins for Odette or the Transcendents, the monsters tore the Transcendent apart.
The Transcendents, who desperately wanted to do so, agreed with their monsters.
Only to keep Odette alive.
'To do that...'
Her heart was pounding in shock. She could hear tinnitus in her ears.
Everyone started acting, starting with Shion, who realized that Odette couldn't kill them. So that Odette could swallow the reins somehow.
While Odette turned his head, John and Victor agreed.
The reason why he woke Karl was not because he agreed with Odette's plan. He couldn't leave Odette alone.
It was a situation that was created to sacrifice for Odette from the beginning.
The more she understands the situation. The more she accepted that what was in front of her was real, the more Odette's breathing became.
What kind of dog death do you choose?
Through the connected monsters, the emotions that the Transcendents felt at the last moment were conveyed.
If they had died with a resolute heart like a spirit of sacrifice, she wouldn't be so suffocated.
The fact that they had died for Odette's sake, as if they were imbeciles or idiots, made her even more stunned.
"What makes me happy... You madmen."
A corpse that was charred like coal. The crumbling surface, like charcoal, made Odette guess the pain.
'...This is not what I wanted.'
At that moment, a notification window rang with a ring.
