“…Analyzing enemy forces. It will take 32 minutes and 57 seconds to neutralize.”
“You don’t say!”
Alright, the time you’ve calculated to defeat me… I’ll play along for that long.
However.
“Too slow.”
“…………………!?”
Before that happens, you’ll be defeated by my ‘Precious Thing’.
“…You’re surprisingly tough. My Dagger Knife chipped, just barely.”
Monica, who had circled around to Lyra’s back, slashed at her neck with a knife, but unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to destroy her, only leaving a slight wound.
As expected, this Mana Doll’s outer shell is made of rare metals, making it extraordinarily sturdy.
“Fufu… then, how about this? 【Hellfire】”
“…………………”
Lize’s flames enveloped Lyra’s body in black fire.
But, being a doll without emotions, she didn’t seem to mind at all.
“Then how about this! Take thiiiiiiiiiiiiissssssss!”
Liliana, who had repeatedly cast 【Braveheart】 to buff all her abilities, slammed a full-force gut punch into Lyra.
With that incredible blow, Lyra went flying and crashed into the wall. I must never get into a fight with Liliana.
And yet.
“…Time to neutralize enemy forces revised to 1 hour, 27 minutes, and 43 seconds.”
She stood up as if nothing had happened, calmly analyzing.
Still, the battle time has been extended by almost an hour thanks to the three of them attacking.
Moreover.
“You can’t defeat me like that.”
“…………………”
As you can see, I perfectly anticipated Lyra’s attacks and blocked them all.
Even after all this defending, she’s still trying to fight me without using any skills. I can’t help but think she’s underestimating me… what!?
“【Blast Cannon】”
“Gu… u… !?”
The cannon on her right arm, fired from point-blank range, pushed me back three meters, even though I blocked it.
Thank goodness I used the 【Jet-Black Shield Caspary】 to block that, or my torso would have been blown wide open. That was super dangerous.
However, thankfully, Lyra the Mana Doll is programmed to relentlessly target only the opponent she has designated, so the others will never be attacked.
So, as long as I keep defending until the end, Lyra will surely be defeated.
More importantly.
“Lord Hal! 【War God’s Blessing】! You won’t be pushed back with this!”
“Oooooooooooooooooh! 【Blaze Blade】!”
In addition to Christia’s buffing support, Carla immediately launched an attack.
That’s right. I have such reliable ‘Precious Things’ with me. There’s no way I can lose.
“…Time to neutralize enemy forces revised to 3 hours, 7 minutes, and 11 seconds.”
“Whoa, the time keeps increasing. Could it be you’re bad at calculations?”
“…Eliminate.”
Oh? Lyra frowned slightly.
That’s right. In ‘EnHaza’, she’s treated as an item, but she was originally just a countess’s daughter who was kidnapped by McLaren, turned into a Mana Doll, and lost everything.
Even in the ‘Tower of the Broken Lovelorn Doll’ Scenario, in the end, as she’s being destroyed by the protagonist and decaying, she whispers, ‘I don’t want to die.’
I really hated that Scenario.
Because she’s treated as nothing more than a tool, with an ending where she’s just destroyed by the protagonist.
“Christia-san.”
“Lord Harold…?”
I whispered something to Christia, who was next to me, and made a request.
She looked dubious, but this was the only thing I could think of.
“Haa… I understand.”
“Thank you.”
I thanked Christia and continued to block Lyra’s attacks.
Meanwhile, Lyra was gradually wounded by everyone’s attacks, and her movements were slowly becoming duller.
Also, Sandra hasn’t participated in the battle with Lyra at all.
If she were to join, everything would be over.
“…Time to neutralize enemy forces revised to 5 hours, 21 minutes…”
“That’s enough. More importantly, you understand the meaning of my words, right?”
“…………………”
“I’ll take the silence as agreement. Hey, an excellent doll like you should understand that there’s no chance of winning if you continue like this. Can you really only move according to the orders rewritten by that man?”
I repeatedly blocked Lyra’s attacks, and I kept talking to her without giving up.
Because I know she has a will of her own.
Because I know she can change her terrible fate.
That’s why.
“Eliminate… eliminate, eliminate, eliminate, eliminate, eliminate, eliminate, eliminate, eliminate, eliminate, eliminate, eliminate, eliminate, eliminate, eliminate, eliminate, eliminate, eliminate, eliminate, eliminate, eliminate, eliminate, eliminate, eliminate, eliminate, eliminate, eliminate, eliminate, eliminate, eliminate, eliminate, eliminate.”
“That’s not it! What you want to say isn’t some stupid order like that!”
I’ll keep shouting as many times as it takes.
Until you return to your true self.
“Eliminate, eliminate, eliminate………………… no.”
“Ah! Lyra!”
“No… no… no, no, no, no, no, NO, NO, NO, NO, hate, hate, hate, hate, no…!”
Lyra finally showed her true words.
But, sadly, her body continues to move according to the program implanted by McLaren, ‘Eliminate the enemy.’
That’s why.
“Sandraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
“Yes!”
“!?”
At my signal, Sandra swung ‘Balmung’.
The metal limbs that Monica and the others had struggled to even scratch were easily cut off, and then.
—Lyra the Mana Doll, fell silent.
