“Ga… Gugugu… Ggh…”
It wasn’t McLaren who lost his head, but Zachariah Tyner, one of the ‘Four Cardinal Directions,’ bearing the Salamander tattoo.
“Tch! He used his subordinate as a scapegoat and teleported away!”
“Lord Hal, what do we do?”
“We’re chasing McLaren, of course!”
“Yes!”
We abandoned Zachariah’s corpse and rushed up the Magic Tower stairs.
Along the way.
“Devour them! 【Hellfire】!”
“What!? Why can’t I extinguish it with my wind magic!?”
Lize and the others were engaged in combat with a man, one of the ‘Four Cardinal Directions’ bearing the Sylph tattoo.
“Lize! Everyone!”
“Oh, Hal… you’re late. We’re about to finish up here.”
With a villainess-like arrogant smile, Lize turned to face the man.
“Incinerate him. 【Inferno】.”
“Gyaaaaaaaaaaa!? Hot!? It’s so hottttttttt!?”
The moment Lize snapped her fingers, black flames coiled around the man’s body like snakes, rising in a massive pillar of fire that spiraled to the ceiling.
The man screamed in agony, but it was extinguished along with his body in a matter of seconds.
All that remained were scorched marks on the ceiling and floor.
“Wow… Lize, you’re getting stronger and stronger, aren’t you?”
“Ohohohoho! Of course!”
Lize brushed back her drill hair, placed a hand to her mouth, and laughed loudly.
Yeah, that’s the usual her… but.
“This is no time for that! We have to find McLaren quickly!”
“W-What’s wrong, Hal!?”
“I’ll explain while we run!”
We joined up with Lize and the others and continued to race through the Magic Tower, pursuing McLaren.
As we explained the details of our encounter with McLaren and the full extent of the conspiracy, the four of them gasped in surprise.
“That would be terrible for the kingdom… no, for the world!?”
“Yeah. That’s why we absolutely have to stop it here.”
Having become involved in the Scenario to this extent, if we don’t stop it, it will lead to a bad end.
In ‘EnHaza,’ you could just clear the game by following the one-way events in order, but it doesn’t work that way in reality… it’s a bit of a pain.
Even so.
“Ideally, I’d like to catch McLaren before reaching the top floor… but that’s probably impossible…”
That’s right… McLaren is undoubtedly on the top floor.
Just like the Scenario of ‘Tower of the Broken Lovelorn Doll’.
However.
“Lord Hal! It’s the top floor!”
“Yeah!”
We reached the end of the stairs… the top floor of the Magic Tower, and smashed open the iron Door.
There.
“A… a, a…”
“…………………”
There stood a girl with onyx-like black eyes and heterochromatic eyes—one black, one red—casually holding McLaren, who was a bloodied mess, his body mangled.
That was the raid boss of the ‘Tower of the Broken Lovelorn Doll’ Scenario, and a character… no, an item(・・・・) boasting one of the best abilities in ‘Engage Hazard’.
–Lyra the Mana Doll.
“Haa… so it came to this after all.”
“Prince Harold, what do you intend to do?”
“It’s decided. Once that doll(・・) is activated, it won’t stop(・・・・・) until it’s broken.”
Once activated, it can’t stop until it destroys its target, a sad doll with broken brakes.
Moreover, its body is sturdier than anyone else’s, making it extremely troublesome.
Well, but.
“Everyone! I’ll take all of its attacks! In the meantime, destroy it… destroy Lyra!”
We’re going to break you cleanly(・・・).
Even if that’s not what you want.
“And… Sandra.”
“Yes.”
I approached her side and whispered in her ear.
“Understood. You truly are…”
“Sorry. I’ll make it up to you later.”
“Promise?”
I gave a wry smile and apologized to Sandra, who pouted.
I always make her go through tough times, so I’ll do whatever she says when we return to the Royal Capital.
…I hope she’ll be gentle.
“…Target confirmed. Commencing elimination.”
Lyra slowly turned her head towards us and announced in a mechanical voice.
At that moment.
“What!? …Ahaha. I’m glad you chose me properly. That helps.”
I kicked off the ground and instantly closed the distance, using the ‘Jet-Black Shield Caspary’ to block Lyra’s attack.
Even so… the weight of a single blow is comparable to Liliana’s. I thought she was specialized in physical defense? That’s not what I heard.
However, you’re not the only one specialized in defense.
Now, I’m the top defense character in ‘EnHaza’. Unfortunately, you can’t defeat me with this much(・・・・) attack power.
“…Analyzing enemy strength. It will take thirty-two minutes and fifty-seven seconds to neutralize.”
“How kind of you to tell me!”
Alright, I’ll play along for the time you’ve calculated it will take to defeat me.
However.
“Too slow.”
“…………………!?”
Before that, you’ll be defeated by my ‘Precious Thing’.
