Nacht had released his barrier zone, Ryouta was already aware of the fact that he was completely vulnerable. He could use 2nd tier magic for 10 mins, but once a day, and that was already used against Geraint. Knowing this dreadful fact, he had to release a barrier of his own, no matter how small it was going to be.
"If you don't release your barrier you'll be done in pretty quickly, that you will". Upon hearing that, Ryouta had clenched his hand into a fist, showing he had the resolve to continue fighting even though the tragedy before him was still present.
"Just so you know, my Barrier is low 3rd tier, and beating that would mean you have 2nd tier magic next to god tier". The man the breaks into laughter as he had made such a statement. Ryouta seeing the man mock him, proceeds to release his barrier, "Barrier zone, omnipotent territory".
Nacht's barrier was broken, and Ryouta using his force for the first time in his barrier, 2-c tier magic" concept of life is null, but death is eminent". As the spell was about to be set off, Nacht had a pale expression but takes a look at Ryouta. Ryouta was bleeding from his eyes and mouth, the Barrier broke, and the spell did not activate, it seemed his body reached its limit. He remembered when Luna told him over using the gate in your body that releases grey energy in form of MANA, causes the gate to be damaged, and the body would take significant amount of damage, severe gate rupture could lead to even death.
"What the....., I can't breathe right, my b…ody isn't responding"
Ryouta was on the verge of losing consciousness as him plunged into the ground beneath him. Several thoughts began to flow through his mind. But even those were interrupted as Nacht approaches Ryouta's paralyzed body and stabs his hands. Ryouta felt the great shock of pain as he was being stabbed, the mind breaking pain went even Further as Nacht began to stab him in other places as well.
"Stop…, please stop, I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die. No, please kill me now, now, now, now, when will I die, when,when, when when"?
The last thing Ryouta sees is Nacht overjoyed as he stabs the already broken Ryouta.
Pitch black, black,pain, pain,pain
Ryouta sees a bright light, waking up to a place surrounded in white. Ryouta touches his hands and places Nacht had stabbed, screaming "AAAAA". He comes to realize himself being completely whole and in good form, wondering if that or this was a dream, pinched himself and tried to recall all the events before died.
"I will ask again, do you want to retry our simulation". This was the voice of the woman, who had been observing Ryouta as he fought Nacht without lifting a finger. Ryouta upon hearing the voice, grit his teeth in aggression and wore the look of hate, although what he would describe his feelings towards the person in front of him, standing and looking down at him with an emotionless expression, was pure fear as she had witnessed him being tortured and did nothing but observe quietly, what was worse was the fact that she had the same face as Shiva. He attempts to answer her question, but with a question.
"W…hat simulation?".
The woman then answers,
"Our partial simulation. You see, this island called farce is simply under intense observation by the king, as this was a game devised by him to create the perfect summon, capable of helping him take over all the realms".
Ryouta had a puzzled look, she had somehow conveyed the information so simply, yet the loopholes were too much.
"Perfect summon, simulation, and everything else. I just don't get it"!
Symphony had finally shown her first expression, she had given a sadistic smile as She put her hands on her hips, checking with Ryouta, if he really wanted the truth.
"If you want the truth, then I'll tell you properly then".
Ryouta, seeing the expression, became even more terrified. But soon the woman wore her normal nonchalant face back.
"I…do, yes, please do"
She then proceeds to speak.
"King Vladmir had placed you and everyone, part of this partial simulation. The partial simulation meant that the island was a simulation, but however the people to play the game were real, and he placed you the summon from the other dimension 20167 as its context. Meaning you are more or less the given main character of this game, and if you wish it you're allowed to retry the simulation as well until you clear this one and move on to the Arrival hall. The players lost will, of course, be revived for the retry. So, indeed, that's why we gave the island the name "farce" and once you entered the game would begin. The island was watched over by other sub admins like Geraint-dono and other guards, by the king's orders."
Ryouta heard this and wondered how much the king must know about him, and the reason he was summoned began to be a looming thought.
"Do you know why I was summoned to this world, and where is my sister".
The woman quickly replied.
"That information, I am not allowed to convey".
Ryouta still had questions but…
"It appears our time is up, I ask again do you want to retry the simulation"?
Ryouta gulps, "yes, I...do"
A flash of bright light engulfs him,
He suddenly comes to himself, in a manner as if realizing he spaced out.
Everybody yells" We're ready!!!"
Okay, Ryouta. Dare and I will escort you to the port. I hope you're ready?". Shiva says as she brings out crystals from her pouch. Ryouta had realized he had gone back to the point before the Battle Royale, but that was the least of his concerns, as his eyes went wide at hearing the voice of the girl he had just seen murdered. Ryouta hugs her tightly as he cried her name.
"Shiva!, Shiva!, Shiva!, shiva!"
Shiva flushed with embarrassment, "Ry…Ryouta what are you doing, this is embarrassing, what's gotten into you". Trying to shove him away before slowly giving up and hugging back, it would seem she had the instinct to do just that. Dare, upon seeing that "woah, Boss you've gotten a lot bolder" Ryouta notices the little boy and gave him a heartfelt hug as well. "You guys scared the hell outta me" he sobs softly and then calms down. "Let's get this shit over with".
