Gah ...... goooooooo ......!

　A cloudy white ice blocked the distorted vision, and in the next moment, it shattered into pieces.

　Scattering pieces of ice of all sizes, a terrific speed 'something' passes by for a few paces, crashing into the back wall and scattering a roar and impact.

　While the dust from the impact of the bullets was already rising, I kneeled there and coughed so hard that I felt like I was going to spit out the contents of my stomach.

''Geho!　Haha!

　He tries to stand up, but the pain is so intense that he can't move his legs as much as he would like.

　The back of my right eye socket pulses with pain.

　But it wasn't just my right eye that hurt, my whole body was in constant pain, except for my right arm, which had been replaced by an artificial one.

'It's a point of no return,'

　Norzuri stands leisurely by my side.

　The ice demon general looked down at me, who was still unable to stand up, and lightly tapped the bottom of his right eye with his finger.

　I saw what he was going to say and wiped under my right eye with my left hand, and sure enough, a sticky red blood was stuck to my finger.

　Was this the cause of the pain in my eye socket?

　It seems that the right eye socket, which contained a powerful lump of magic called the Right Eye of Wisdom, had been injured because it could not withstand the overload.

I'm sure that the wall of ice was formed, even if it was only for a brief moment. I'm not going to be able to stop Vesturi's fire, but it was enough to deflect its trajectory slightly and avoid a direct hit.

　In order to prevent Garnett from finding it and making a fuss, I'm going to heal the wounds with 【Restoration】 for now, and [Decompose] the bloodshed.

''However, I thought you would use the power of the demonic beast Hattie to build a wall as it is, but it looks like you've done it quite elaborately. If I tell His Majesty about it, he will be very pleased.
...... alphasl could do the same thing and get at least a foot in the door with him, so it's ...... right?
Don't be smug. At best, you've got your feet in sight.
You say it like you've seen it: "You say it like you've seen it: ...... If I'm not mistaken, you were born after Alfazul died, weren't you?　Well, it's true that ...... doesn't have the right to think about it, but...

　While somehow standing up, he picked up Hattie's medallion, which had somehow been popped out of his body and lying on the floor, with the right arm of his painless prosthetic hand.

　Just then, the Golden Fang knights who were stunned in the vicinity and Garnett, who was running as fast as he could with his enhanced body, rushed over at the same time.

''Sir Luke!　Are you okay!
'Rook!　You're okay!　You're hurt!　I mean, Norzli!　You're a bastard!

　While quieting Garnett, who literally bared her fangs and yelled at me, I looked down at the medallion in my right hand.

''Hey, Norzuri. What did I do with this medallion's ice when I fought you on the fourth level?
'......?　You don't remember.
He's dazed and dazed. I'm not sure about my memory, I just want to make sure it's correct.
"Hmm ...... let's assume this is just another force multiplier for Agart Ram.

　Norzuri's face contorted as he replied exactly what I wanted him to say.

'At that time you supplemented your right arm with ice-work and used the sword you were wearing and the mithril components used in the other equipment as tips, creating an ice spear and throwing it at me.
'A spear of ice from a sword or ...... I knew I had it right.

　It's not a mere restoration of an object, but rather the reappearance of a spear that doesn't exist here with the materials available - my decision that this was feasible was not wrong.

You're going to be able to find out what you can do about it. ...... When Garnett awakened Hattie's factor to a limited extent, he created a wall of ice as a part of his demonic beast power. I thought I could use a different means to ...... think of the ice as just a material, so I thought it was possible to create a defensive measure through the application of my skills, ...... and the result is this. If it only holds for a moment, it's far from practical.

　I was hoping that if it worked, I could do something close to universal in terms of combat, but it seems that it's not going to be very convenient.

　Garnett is looking up at me with a face that looks even more worried than usual with the mighty power of a demonic beast (Skoll).

　I smile at Garnett as if to reassure her and turn my gaze towards Norzuri again.

''Both this time and that time, there was an obvious change in your appearance. The left eyeball is dyed gray like a wolf, and the hair on your head is a dark and light mottled gray-white. And [right eye] is ...... no, it's irrelevant to the medallion about this.
'So you were able to have a limited awakening, even though it was halfway through. If that's the case, then it's finally a shame.

　Maybe they were lined up in the same figure as Garnet.

　Pushing such unresolved thoughts out of the corner of my mind, I calmly analyzed the cause of my failure.

'I think it was theoretically possible enough. The reason it didn't work is because of the strength of the material ...... In short, my body couldn't withstand it.

　Just as Alexia and the other prototypes were unsatisfactory in terms of strength.

　Just like Vestri's battle suit required Agart Ram's doll to [repair].

　In order to meet the required performance and achieve the intended function and performance, we must use materials with sufficient strength.

　So in that respect, my human body did not meet the standards.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on with the rest of your life.

You can't endure it, ...... does that mean you can't possess the same power of a demonic beast as I do?
'I'm not as strong as you are, and I'm not as strong as my skills make me look.
''According to what you said earlier, you tried to [restore] it just on the basis of an image without an actual object. Isn't that why?
''Of course, I'm sure that accelerated the burden. But at this rate, I don't think we're going to be able to endure it for long even if we simply [fuse] it together. Even if we estimate optimistically, it's only a few minutes at the most.

　In fact, even before they started generating walls, a certain amount of pain was running through my body.

　It was only after activating the skill that it became difficult to endure in earnest, but even if he hadn't used the skill and kept it at a half-hearted limited awakening, it would have never lasted long.

　This wasn't a matter of the 【Restoration】 skill or any of the shortcomings peculiar to the 【Right Eye of Wisdom】, it was a matter of pure physical endurance.

　Norzuri, who heard my analysis, sniffs at me as if to say something trivial.

''It's simple. I'm sure that if we were able to draw more power from Alpha-Zulu than ever before, it would be easier to do what you envisioned. Even if it lacks physical strength, it just needs to be done with precision and skill.
'I told you I'm not going to surrender my body to Alfazul.
Then are you going to be satisfied with this and give up?

　He returns the provocative Norsli's words with a scowl as best he can.

'No way. I don't have any intention of giving up. What you lacked in the past, you made up for with your ingenuity. And I've got some new ideas for .......
