While I returned to on for how the 'Eclipse' dragon was slowly descending fro about this guy is its ability to bend space around itself Ten, how are we going to deal with that?”

„That is actually s that I' to do That is, if you are able to keep up with the process!”

Ten ic, and then whistled shortly in ad speed is quite fast, since in the past I was forced to cast powerful and complex spells one after another and I had little to no problem with that

But for Ten's technique to be so wide? It was quite a shock for on opened its ns of ic Then, it shot nuic projectiles, each the size of a baseball ball ca down on us with tremendous speed

I initially used the saeon to protect us, but eventually the h it and I felt an ih me

”Are you okay? The 'Eclipse' also influences the mind, so please do well to re you if its density increases, so rather than tanking it with a barrier it is best to avoid it entirely”

You should have said so earlier! Still, I lifted the barrier and doged to the side, trying to avoid the rain of projectiles that was falling onto us

I technically could have used the sa to erase the projectiles right before they were about to hit me, but since space-time wasn't really my forte I preferred not to do that, since I wasn't sure if I'll be able to get the tied to avoid soht into my inner shi+eld that I erected around ood to just let theon kept on shooting these projectiles one after another without stopping, but even so, Ten wasn't hit by any of them so far!

Uwah, it's like she wasn't scared of that thing in the slightest!

”Just try to endure it for soh tiht I will also try to put the ic into on's space-bending ability!”

Ten says so deal, but she soon shares with me the concept of what she was about to do It was a scheic cancelation field that was supposed to take its effects in real ti strange at the very corner of , I could see a huge whirlpool of distorted space beginning to gather around the 'Eclipse' dragon

Uwah, a! Was it all the distorted space? …… Her than it was before!?”

„Maybe he assirow stronger I can certainly i that!”

We ascended to the skies above Taisha, where we thought it would be easier to avoid the inco

But just then my tail hit the space-time distortion and suddenly it becomes as heavy as a rock

”Uwah!?”

When I realized that it was trying to pull me in I became distressed, and just then a whole lot of s at me from all over the sky

I quickly cast the spell in order to protectfire that incinerates my enemies!」

But just before I casta firestor thehtly delayed by the space-ti hold over ot out of its reach, I could finally let out a sigh of relief

Although the space-time distortion was neutralized by Ten's spell, it was like trying to cast multiple different spells at the saainst 'Eclipse' fog are sure to become weaker in no ti mowed down by the 'Eclipse' monsters, so it would be equally as bad

At that tiht to ainst dragons?”

”Ahh, yeah, there was this one time when my Senpais pinned me down and I tried to resist them, but it didn't account toto rely solely on brute strength I was quickly overwhelmed by theine, it was still frustrating toabout that

”…… Unexpected violence?”

That evaluation wasn't very pleasing

”We are really busy at the moment, so care to save that conversation for later?”

”Yeah, I wanted to say the exact sae of her cuddling the tails and soft fur of every Shrine Maiden in here It was a truly heartwar scene

Wow, it looked so soft and fluffy

But, I had the reason to wrap this up quickly as well

Aaaah, geez! Noanted to cuddle my sweet Aru evenleft to do here!

So we flew even higher, accelerating this whole tih opponent

Once it found out that its attacks were not so effective, it switched their pattern to so almost exclusively on me

I think it is because it also absorbed some of Ten's memories and experiences, and because of that I al protective barrier after protective barrier

I was really hard, constantly shooting hest level of defensive barriers

No, that's not it Of course it was hard for me Why wouldn't it be? After all, forsoic! It's not yours!”

”I know that!”

I say that whilethat, I would soon, with ical flaon in the tail, but it was not enough to do any kind of dae to it

And what really breaksso quickly that it was insane

shi+t, absorbing theattack patterns!? What the hell is this!? The last boss from some kind of hardcore RPG!?

”Last Boss?”

”It's none of your business!”

Seeing as Ten was able to glimpse into my mind, I quickly rebuilt the mental walls around me

To tell you the truth, I wanted to finish this as soon as possible

Although the flow of tied into an all-out ith 'Eclipse', so we needed to wrap things up in here in order to avoid as os froto lose the sense of distinction between Ten and ons are all part of the world, our sense of individuality rehtly connected to our physical vessels

The dragon netas an entirely different thing because of the vessels being present and kept separately, but now a raw spirit waswith my mind

So even if Ten's spirit was an outsider incoht You are notthat tiuish ourselves from one another

Still, I couldn't really help it but to witness the scenes that I kneere not ht in front of edthe ground, so thick that it was irass

Even though I was doing ic at the ht in front of h of a reason to fall into despair

But I needed to survive No ive hope to those of people who rief I couldn't stop 'Eclipse' et this

For the sake of those who lived on, as well as those who passed away

I won't speak about that to anyone I will be the only one to carry that burden, no matter how heavy it turns out to be

No ive the white scales and blue……

”LAVA!!”

Why ing somewhere in the distance I then woke up and sawall over ht theh I barely made it, but for noas safe

I could still hear Nectar's voice ringing in ht you were in trouble!”

”Yeah, I was But thank you, Nectar You saved me”

I meant that froerous I let ht inside of Ten's e together then, ould becoon with both memories of Ten anda dominant one, but even with my memories still intact, I knoouldn''t bedown, and I could feel ain

”I'ed you inside of my memories”

”It couldn't be helped, so don't worry about that”

Ten apologized toto me, that for her it must have been some kind of a trau sos that were probably buried deep inside of her

If we don't take any counterainst that, no amount of protective barriers will be able to help us

Also, while trying to avoid the fog dragon I looked doards the ground, where I could see worried Nectar as gazing upwards towards me

It oing, and after he lad if there was anything I could do to thank hirattitude

That's right I was really glad that Nectar was my beloved partner

But, noasn't the ti about that!

”Nectar, can you stay connected toas Nectar ith et myself, no matter what

”Wait, Lava!?”

”Of course, I don't mind! I don't mind at all!”

I felt bad for puzzled Ten, but Nectar was overfloith happiness right now

So as Ten ultiht at the fog dragon

Then suddenly, after inhaling, Nectar began to talk

”Lava's scales are blacker than the darkest night and they have a wonderful luster to them, just like obsidian Their smooth texture always makes me feel euphoric”

I tried to fire on, but thanks to Nectar's words ed to avoid the ed to connect, but it ay too few to e to it I was pretty upset with myself for that

Besides, Nectar! I knoas the one who told you to keep talking, but aren't you taking that way too far!?

I tried to calm him down, but once Nectar's switch was flipped on, there was no stopping hih bones inside of them, but the membrane itself is thin and soft, so h it It feels so strange, but at the sa They can protect you from the rain, or you can bury your face in thely to chase away the gathering fog
