The World of Masks

As if there were an invisible wall in front of Charles, the shadows can only slow down and not attack Charles.

"I see."

Charles looks down at the ground with cold eyes.

He was just leaving Mexico City. A spiderweb-like shadow extends from within the city a little ahead of his feet. However, there were only natural shadows on the ground behind him, but there were no unusual shadows within Mexico City. The shadows don't come out to the end of any boundaries. No, I couldn't.

“This is as far as I'm concerned, right? '

[Hmm.]

Charles walks along an invisible boundary, where there is no shadow. The target doesn't seem to be able to detect Charles due to the escaping shadow. The shadows of the violent attack continue to linger where Charles has been lost.

Shhh!

The shadows decreased in size as a whole, whether they had given up. The most intimidating shadow was recovered to the center of Mexico City, and the other shadows disappeared as if melted to the ground.

Charles once again sets his foot on the shadow.

Shook!

A shadow pierces in. Charles hurries out. The shadow moves around as if looking around, and then rests on the ground again.

Looking at that, Charles touches the communicator.

“Eun-hee, it's over. ”

How'd it go?

“It was roughly as expected. ”

Without hesitation, Charles begins to talk about his mighty scouting accomplishments.

“For one thing, I think he knows the whole city incredibly well. The moment I stepped into the shadow, there was definitely a reaction. He's not a spider. ”

Spiders are ripples.Please don't insult the spiders.

Charles laughs to see if you like Eun-hee's answer.

“I apologize for that. After all, they know the whole city, but they don't know the individual human beings. Actually, I'm Charles Lemington because I didn't realize it until I was taught by a bunch of guys. ”

The disciples flee and think about the violent attack.

“And his power must be in the place where the shadows spread. As soon as I got out, the attack stopped. I don't think they even found me. ”

How was the attack?

“The attacks coming out of the shadows all over the city, frankly, are nothing. Senior superpowers can handle it. But an attack that appears to have been set in motion and flew from the center of the city. ”

Charles hangs up. I recall the attack earlier. The attack, which knocked out its maximum output and revealed its teeth, was more threatening than any attack Charles has ever experienced.

“Regrettably, it will be difficult to resist without the 'God-bearers'. because even I was avoiding it. Of course, the attack also felt clearly less powerful as it got further away from the center where it was thought to exist, but the threat remained the same. ”

It wasn't good news. You hear Eun-hee sigh behind the comms. Charles now fully understands her feelings. He wanted to sigh even more than a hundred times.

How was the altar?

“I could only see from afar. We met his men on the way to the altar, and the battle started right away. But the path to the altar seemed to be completely controlled. ”

I knew it!

I heard Eun-hee's astonishment. Charles' voice was a little excited whether it was sentimental or not.

“Is that what you think?”

It's premature, but the odds are high enough. That structure might be broken apart from what was built in New Zealand.

There couldn't have been much of the world on a plate where Fabio swallowed up a part of Mexico and even built a terrifying two-dimensional structure. Immediately, from the United States, a massive bombardment of structures began. It was an attack that couldn't even scratch the structure in New Zealand, but it didn't hold out.

And the flying missiles are all intercepted by the shadow. The world had something to say to that astonishing and ridiculous sight. I was terrified of Fabio's ability.

But paradoxically, some people found hope in the intercept.

If those structures were as indestructible as those in New Zealand, they wouldn't have intercepted. In other words, it concludes that structures in Mexico can be destroyed differently than in New Zealand. Fabio's ability seems to depend on it, so it has been observed that destroying it will also eliminate Fabio's astonishing ability.

Of course, we don't want to interfere with the reinforcement of the structure, so we don't know for sure. Well, it's roughly as expected. Well done, Mr. Charles. It's not something that someone like Charles would do.

It is beyond foolishness to consume such high-end power as Charles on a power reconnaissance. But I couldn't help it. If you can get enemy information through compulsion of sacrifice, you will be forced to tear down and spit out bitterness, but the scouting of ordinary people will not work at all for Fabio now. It's just a useless sacrifice, a dog's death.

That's why we put Charles in a superprecipitation. At least he won't die in vain.

“It's okay. The others won't even get close." Someone had to do it. ”

Thank you for saying that.

“Then I'll go home. ”

Yes, this will be a short time, but rest well after you return.

The message ended and we lost communication.

Charles turns his eyes to Mexico City instead of going straight back. Around the center of the city, I looked at the direction I thought Fabio Gonzales would be.

“Not what you think, asshole! ”

Charles chirps as he makes a fresh stop.

* * *

“You're in a bit of a hurry. ”

Fabio mutters, looking down at his shadow. He fearlessly launches an attack to kill Charles Lemington in his front yard, but he finds nothing. Rather, he showed some of his information to the AMSS.

[It was a power scout, if you think about it.]

“Yes, of course. I can't believe you single-handedly sent Charles Lemington, the AMSS 'maximum force, to scout for power. A man with a mind of his own would never think of that. You took a nice punch. Looks like someone's got a pretty good idea inside the AMSS. ”

Complex emotions swirled from Fabio's speech, whether he was angry or interested.

[I see. It's insane to use advanced power like Charles Lemington as a force reconnaissance. I don't think we have enough cards to use in AMSS. It's in our favor.]

“But I took a punch. I never thought I'd make it out of this city alive, by the way. I don't think you heard the strongest sound for nothing. ”

Words that seem to be deeply embarrassed to hear. But Fabio's voice was relaxed, as opposed to what he had to say. I mentioned Charles as the greatest superpower, but I found no anxiety about him at all. Obviously, Fabio used to keep things relaxed, but things are different now.

{I am intoxicated.}

Nidelbad explained exactly why.

Probably the same No matter how much money and power he had, Fabio had to be a phoenix. That's why you calculate thoroughly and move around hiding your existence. But it's different now. He had the power not to see the world, and no being could interfere with him. It's probably the first time he's ever been there. He was more relaxed than ever and went on to be a little more vigilant, which turned out to be no surprise.

But Nidelbad didn't say anything.

{This is still a range of spare time.}

I didn't invade other places publicly because I had power, and I didn't destroy the city because I wanted to use it. In that regard, it would have to be Fabio. Despite his eagerness to wield his power, he is still on his way to Nidelbad's resurrection. I had a hunch that some of my men were running wild, but the consequences weren't obvious to Nidelbad.

{Can I close my eyes like this?}

Nidelbad decided to leave his contractor alone for a while.

At that moment, you hear someone knocking. Fabio knocks into the room.

The one who came in was one of his men.

“What's going on? ”

Fabio asked in a soft voice.

Fabio's mood has been good the whole time, so his subordinates were able to deal with him lightly. At least I didn't have to die feeling bad.

“Pan Chi Anne has been contacted. ”

“She? What's going on?”

“I don't really know. He just wants to say something to the boss. ”

I've already given you everything. In that situation, I did not anticipate what she wanted to say to herself.

“You'll see. ”

Fabio receives a call from one of his minions.

“It's me.”

Phone etiquette is like eating out of a box, and there is no answer. However, Pan Chi Anne over the phone didn't say much about whether she was familiar with it.

You seem to be doing quite well. Congratulations as a colleague.

“What are you up to? Is there something you want? ”

I compliment her for not being a witch of my own taste. Of course, as Fabio, all I could think of was something to do with Pan Chi Anne.

“Just in case, that's all the design or description of the altar. There's nothing else. ”

That's a great reaction. Don't worry. I'm not trying to pick up on you.

“Then what is it? ”

I was wondering if I could go that way.

“· · · · · · · Want to come here? ”

Suddenly, I thought I was going to call myself a confession of love, but I quit. It was because Pan Chi Anne was not a great person to do so, but it gave me goose bumps just thinking about it.

You didn't make any strange mistakes, did you?

“Why not? But now that you've responded, I don't think that's a good idea. I'm so glad. I can't wait to see the snoring come out right now. ”

Oh, is that Fabio Gonzales' snoring? That's interesting. You don't have to hold on.

“No more jokes. What did you come here for? ”

Fabio bites sharply. They are called colleagues, but they cannot be trusted deeply. At this crucial point, I was troubled that she would return to her stronghold.

I want to see Niedelvard's resurrection.

That was not what I expected. But I thought it might be soon.

“Are you referring to Reyna's resurrection? ”

Similarly, I want to see the finished structure around the concubine.

Fabio is briefly lost in thought. It was definitely not a reason to refuse. Once an ally, even a golden woman, she wasn't a fool enough to realize that Nydelbard would have to resurrect and Reyna would also be resurrected. At least there was no reason to disturb him. It would be okay to assume that her intentions are really what she says they are.
