Pick Me Up, Infinite Gacha

Chapter 323



# 323

323. Burning

This is the boundary.

It was the division between Moebius and outer space.

Siris looked ahead.

A pitch-black horizon stretched out.

As I took a deep breath, a chill rushed through my veins.

Hwareuk!

The flames burned from Siris’ fingertips, illuminating the surroundings.

A man was standing in a densely packed place in the dark. The man’s cloak fluttered, revealing his hidden face. Only then did Siris recognize the man’s face.

It must have been.

Loki, the master of Niflheim she was looking for.

He was alone in this hellish place.

Eden, which bordered on the border, has passed over hundreds of years.

If so, how many years have passed here? Siris couldn’t even guess.

‘It’s empty.’

Unfocused eyes turned to Siris.

A face that shows no emotion whatsoever.

It was too inorganic to be described as cold. I felt as if I was looking at a mannequin elaborately modeled after a person whose emotions as a human being had been castrated.

“master.”

Siris bit her lip.

That man is not the Loki he knew.

I was already aware of it, but a stabbing pain spread through my chest.

Siris’ fire grew brighter.

A mountain of black rubble appeared over the distant horizon.

It was a corpse of fragments. However, what Siris faced was only a small part.

‘This space itself…’

Siris tapped the floor with her foot.

The very ground she stands on is made up of their corpses.

It’s bloody bloody. It was impossible to estimate how many harvesters the Master had dealt with or how much power he had amassed. And I don’t know how many years of oblivion I’ve spent.

“Master, I…”

Siris took a step closer to Loki.

[Stop it!]

The fairy interrupted Siris.

Nisel waved her hand with an urgent face.

[That monster is not a master! If you approach it carelessly, you will die!]

“…a monster.”

[Yournet said that. The current Master is a kind of program. Even if Siris is in front of you, you don’t know who it is. No, it will be the same no matter who else comes.]

“I guess so.”

Siris repeated.

That man couldn’t be called human.

No memories, no emotions. The self didn’t even exist.

A program that repeats a given role infinitely.

The dead will repeat the operation until they are worn out.

And now there was only one thing the dead were doing.

killing intruders.

[…]

The dead man’s pupils illuminated Siris.

Suddenly, Siris felt a sense of loss, as if his whole body was going out.

‘This is the master’s power.’

Swoop.

Siris looked down at her hands.

From her fingertips, she became particles and was slowly disappearing.

The dead, who went beyond the heroic stage and transcended the godhead and reached the state beyond, could annihilate their opponents just by looking at them.

There is no need to mix swords.

To the dead, Siris was a being less than a bug.

A very simple click to kill.

‘I see.’

Siris smiled bitterly.

Even she, who had reached the pinnacle of all Mobius heroes, was nothing more than a worm to that man.

“Niselle.”

[…Yeah.]

“I’ll ask for your back.”

Nissel didn’t answer.

I’m pretending not to know Siris tugged at Nisel’s wings.

I already told you everything. There is only one way.

‘I’ve packed the preparations.’

He brought Bifrost, the medium to transfer data, and Mystel, which was inserted into the Master’s heart.

Now is the time to fulfill the role assigned to you.

Siris reached out to her partner.

The fairy nodded and began spinning in the air. Flames scattered with every flap of its wings. It has a bright crimson color. Nisel, who was spinning like that, at some point dug into Siris’ chest.

Roaring!

Waves of flame rippled from Siris’ body.

The gaze that had eaten away at her disappeared in an instant.

‘Ifrit Form.’

elemental union.

A spark rose from Siris’s reddish hair.

[…]

The dead man tilted his head.

It was a questionable gesture. It’s normal for that little thing to perish a long time ago.

Still, he stands still and catches the gaze.

“Master, it won’t be easy.”

Siris gripped Levatein tightly.

“If you want to kill me, come with your own sword and decapitate me.”

Charleuk.

Dragon scales spread from the man’s fingertips.

The elongated scales came together in one place to form the shape of a sword.

I’ve seen it on CCTV. dragon sword. It was Loki’s main weapon after abandoning Bifrost. Only then did the dead begin to recognize Siris as an enemy.

Siris grinned.

It was also what she wanted.

‘It was you who made me, who was a fake, stronger.’

A light came on in Siris’ eyes.

In an instant, the man disappeared. Even the gaze of Siris, trained through endless training and real-life skills and engravings, could not catch it.

‘Fast…’

Bang!

“Keukhak!”

Siris flew away with an explosion.

Siris spun around dozens of meters and landed in a mountain of rubble.

A lump of blood protruded from his mouth. If she hadn’t gotten used to Lidigion’s quick sword technique, the attack she had just made would have cut Siris clean.

‘Better than Lidigion…’

No, that wouldn’t be a comparison at all.

It’s not that fast.

“ha.”

Siris staggered to his feet.

A trickle of blood flowed from the torn forehead.

‘It’s strong.’

Siris’ physical ability using spirit fusion is ridiculously beyond the limit of a 6-star hero.

Even so, I couldn’t even see the shadows.

“yet…!”

2nd grade.

Levatein bent to the right.

There, the dragon sword aimed at the heart of Siris was reaching out.

bang!

The swords collided and a shockwave exploded.

“Ugh!”

Siris’ eyes turned red.

awesome A cracking sound rang in my ears. Blood gushed from the torn grip. Chi profit. The muscles that had been overworked to the limit cracked without mercy.

3rd grade.

Three slashes rushed at the same time.

stomach. right. under. Levatein drew a semicircle and encountered the dragon sword.

[Siris!]

Bang!

The ground Siris stood on was dug deep.

Blood splattered down the sides of her burning hair.

‘yet.’

4th grade.

The dragon sword, which stretched tens of meters, covered her entire body.

Siris swung the Levatein long. Roaring! The crimson flame swirled and bounced off the dragon sword.

‘Power requires a price.’

Siris muttered inwardly.

Just as Loki, the master of Niflheim, gave up his humanity and acquired the Infinity Cup.

In order to gain something, you have to give up something.

‘What you wished for…’

A victory that will last forever.

It was a power that would never kneel even in the face of infinity.

‘so that.’

i don’t fail

Siris grabbed the sword.

5th case.

When the scales of the dragon sword bounced off, Siris felt that the bones in her body had been shattered.

It wasn’t strange even if it burst like a balloon in the standing position. Now I can’t even feel the pain. The bones and muscles that had already supported her body had lost all function. Still, she didn’t stop moving.

6th case.

bang!

‘I can’t move.’

The body does not listen to the commands of the brain.

‘no.’

Roaring!

Sparks connected the torn nerves.

The flame energized the fragmented bones and blood vessels by moving them back and forth between the muscles.

The shining columns of flame supported Siris’ body as it collapsed several times.

7th case.

The attack of the dead became even fiercer.

from above. from below. from the right. from the left.

As if he would not die even if this happened, dragon swords were aiming at Siris from all sides.

[…]

The dead man’s eyes lit up.

Not even that. Siris smiled.

It’s because a small creature like a bug doesn’t die like it would die.

The whole body was covered with wounds.

hands and arms legs thighs flanks. The exposed skin was full of cuts.

pop. The fresh blood ran down Siris’ forehead and fell to the floor.

“This much…”

Siris stumbled and glared at the dead.

Red eyes flashed between the bloody faces.

“You can’t kill me… you can’t…”

THOM!

The Dragon Rin Sword and Levatein collided.

Siris did not lose her balance even as she retreated several meters.

‘The more the body breaks.’

Roaring!

Brilliant flames rose from Siris’ body.

bang!

Levatein vigorously bounced the dragon sword.

The dead man straightened his posture and jumped backwards.

‘hot.’

The nerves of the whole body have already been cut off.

Instead of blood, fire flowed in Siris’ veins.

8th case.

Swords collided in the air.

quivering air. The shock wave dug deep into the remains of the debris that made up the mountain.

I can’t even feel how I’m fighting.

Siris instinctively swung her sword.

‘The fire of the beginning.’

It was a myth passed down in Niflheim.

It is said that the land, which was filled with fog and cold, was brighter than anywhere else in the universe.

‘More hotter.’

Hwareuk!

Roaring!

A fire rose from deep within her body.

My heart beat like a pump, sending flames all over my body.

‘Power…’

requires a price.

Victory requires sacrifice.

‘More more more!’

The flames snapped together the fragmented bones.

Nerves reconnected and muscles pulsated vigorously.

The memory of her passed like a kaleidoscope. It was the scenery from when he first came to the waiting room until he fought his Master here. She fought and fought and fought for her master and for herself.

‘All that pain.’

all the hard work and all the years.

If it existed for just one moment.

If you’ve been spending decades for this moment.

“I won’t.”

Siris muttered.

“Never for you.”

「…」

“You can’t beat me.”

Whoaaaaaaaagh!

More colorful flames than ever before.

Siris’ hair turned white and

the spark of life began to burn.

‘You gave yourself for infinity.’

9th case.

The enemy and the black collided.

Flames and darkness swirled, heating up everywhere.

‘I give for the moment.’

This is my ‘persuasion’ to you.

hot.

even hotter.

10th case.

It crosses the limit of the limit and crosses the limit again.

The entire boundary, which had been sunk in darkness, became brighter. A few hidden fragments came wriggling, but soon melted into bubbles.

Siris’ eyes shone like the sun.

Firewood was needed to burn.

What she chose was herself.

11th case.

Red and black collided violently.

Levatein and the dragon sword rushed aiming at each other’s vital points. It stabs, swings, bounces, and stabs again. Every time they collided, sparks exploded with an explosion.

12th case.

13th case.

14th case. 15th case. 16th case.

Before she let go of her life, before

the flames were fully ignited .

‘End.’

The burning sword drove the dead without rest.

The speed of sound, the speed of sound, the speed of light, the speed of light.

An attack beyond the limits of existence was fired at the dead.

block it nonetheless

It strikes back as if it were natural.

‘What a wonderful man this is.’

A smile formed on Sirius’ lips.

The man returned the blow with all his strength with a calm face.

‘I said it was ranked third.’

That 7-star hero couldn’t even last a second.

In slow construction.

Hundreds of battles intersected, mixed, and staggered in the gap between instants.

A brightly burning flame. The primordial flame engulfed Siris.

‘Faster.’

It is visible now.

I could feel what kind of world the Master was swinging his sword from.

Levatein bent and drew a red trail.

push.

Landing sound.

Black blood flowed from the dead man’s left shoulder.

men don’t stop The dragon sword rotated in a spiral and stole the meat from Siris’ side. But I don’t feel any pain. Organs unnecessary for fighting have already disappeared. Her body had evolved into a machine for the moment.

‘More strongly.’

bang!

The dead were pushed back by excessive force.

Siris rushed at the staggering dead.

‘more. A little more. Even more.’

Each time it burned,

the flame grew stronger

as the lifeline shortened .

[…]

The dead man’s eyes sank.

The object in front of him was classified as a ‘strong enemy’.

Scattering dragon scales. The cloak fluttered and the body of the dead soared. Siris lit up the flames and pursued the dead. Red and Black collided again.

Gia ah!

Crawling debris is no problem.

In the aftermath of the fight, the invading fragments disappeared.

‘How far is it, Master?’

Kachang!

Sparks flew between Levatein and the dragon sword.

‘How far must I go… Can I stand in the same place as you?’

Siris was burning from the tip of her toes.

Gray ashes flew behind her back.

I can’t call myself a human anymore. living fire.

When the flame is extinguished, only ashes will remain.

‘Nevertheless.’

It was strong.

to the fullest. to the point of bewilderment.

The stronger Siris hits, the more power it returns. Even in countless contests, the dead did not back down.

It seemed that he was arguing with his whole body.

No matter who fights, I will never lose.

fluttering cloak.

The dragon sword soared high.

So, the 328th.

The Dragon Rin Sword, which stretched tens of meters, surrounded Siris.

There was an unpleasant sound, like skin ripping.

awesome

Siris’ right arm was torn.

The arm holding the Levatein rose high, spurting blood.

Kwajik.

Sharp scales tore off her left eye.

The left side of Siris’ vision darkened.

“master.”

Siris laughed.

In the midst of the blurred scenery, the deceased was slowly walking toward him.

“This is too much.”

There is a degree to being strong.

Even if the output was raised thousands of times, could it not be surpassed?

In the end, did he not reach the place where the Master was standing?

So, Siris was convinced.

‘If this man.’

can win.

no matter who the opponent is.

Even an absolute existence that surpasses God can bring victory.

Siris looked ahead.

The dragon sword pierced her heart. I can’t stop it. instinctively realized. Even if she used the power of the beginning and burned herself to the end, Siris could not overwhelm this man.

‘But this time…’

Acquaintance.

The tip of the dragon scale pierced Siris’ chest.

Siris let go of her left hand.

“I… won…”

Her body fell to her side.

[…]

The dead looked down.

A pure white dagger was lodged in his left chest.
