The Degree
Message Virgo

One month since the Rebellion attack passed. The alliance between Blueeast and Redwest was formed. Although none of the two great unions chose to join into a union, the fact that they could work together without any problems showed that there was no problem with it.

The other reality is that both Blueeast and Redwest show a cooperative attitude so that no matter what matters.

Not that there are no problems such as hostility and difficulty chatting. That is a natural thing considering they were enemies and suddenly became friends. That was a reasonable attitude because the guild members thought that there was a conspiracy behind all of this.

Between the Redwest guild being tricked by the Blueeast who wants to take advantage of the crumbling Redwest. Or else, Redwest is trying to get Blueeast's help in order to keep its guild standing strong.

They had absolutely no idea what was going on behind the scenes including the fact that the two leaders were blood-bound.

Erina and the Order thought there was nothing important about revealing it. They simply ordered not to try to hurt each other because from this point on they were friends.

Although not everyone at Blueeast would obey him, at least the people from Redwest would not do anything.

During that one month the two guilds made full preparations to destroy the Rebellion. The fact that there's a chance Virgo is relying on missiles won't change.

Until then the Order decided to divide the troops into several campsites with a certain distance. In order to avoid a single missile strike in a row, that step needs to be taken.

Because they had no intention of staying and waiting, the Order paid no attention to defense and focused on attacking.

A few days later they were again shocked after the discovery of a cassette tape that came along with the destruction of one of the campsites.

Right now everyone who had an important role was gathered in Erina's room because she also wanted to see it. If not for the conditions of concern then they will not bother to order a laptop at a price that is not cheap.

Mein tuned the tape and everyone waited nervously.

“About what is Virgo trying to deliver?” Terumi was a little scared when she imagined that something bad would actually happen.

“Entahlah. For sure this guy won't deliver the good news.” Leo feels confident because given the personality of Virgo until now, that person is not the type who will do fun things.

“We will know after watching it.” The order is not in a good mood.

That was because the destroyed camp had not only taken away many lives, but many supplies had been stolen.

The people who were there were stripped away, some even disappeared. The person who disappeared is not known exactly how many. But it is easy to guess that there were at least a few intruders.

“Sebastian. You sure you checked everything and there were no intruders?” tanya Order growled.

The presence of an intruder is the most troublesome and annoying thing. The order is truly enraged if such an existence is said to be non-existent.

“Yes. I'm sure I checked it properly and there's no indication of any intruders. Either they dive well or there never was.”

Sebastian says that maybe Virgo did it deliberately with the intention of outwitting and distracting him.

The order is silent with no more words to say.

Meanwhile, Ray who had been silent just stared at their conversation. Ray stared at Sebastian for a few seconds before returning to see Mein preparing the video.

“This is it.” said Mein. “Let's listen.” he continued.

Video playing. Virgo is shown with his mask and some people behind him. He was smart enough to darken the room to avoid tracking.

“Greetings, you fools. I'm sure you've all come together and formed an alliance to destroy me.”

Virgo does not mince words and goes straight to the main point he wants to discuss. It was easy enough to guess that the Order and Erina would definitely join forces to destroy it.

“Although I could have ignored and destroyed you right now. If that happens unfortunately the fun will end. Secret, this damn organization must want a big show.”

The show in question is a ruin involving all its participants. Ray thinks that it's just a joke because of what Secret plans to eliminate all test participants if their goal is research.

But given all the trials to date, Ray has no opinion to refute it.

“The big show I'm going to show you is a show that will end the fifth stint. Something that has long been coveted is the end of this hell.”

“I will drop this place along with its contents. The fifth duty requires that we destroy its duty. In two more weeks, there will come a determination of who will survive. And who will be destroyed. Prepare yourself ... while there is still time.”

The video ends with these tense words. The whole room was silent and no one said anything.

Ray sighed and squinted his eyes, “Two weeks. A short time and coincidentally coincides with the end of our preparations.”

“It was even very suspicious if it had the right time with our preparations. I'm absolutely sure there was at least an intruder.” The Order looked back at Sebastian, this time he was really angry. “Quickly do a thorough inspection or destruction will await us!”

“Unfortunately I can't help anything about that. Mein, you know what you have to do. Call me periodically for preparations.”

“Good, Miss Erina.”

“Then, Ray. Can we talk four eyes later? There's something I want to say." Erina smiled mischievously and looked at her eyes as if she had something important to say.

Ray nodded and did not refuse. He noticed that for some reason Terumi looked sad and held her chest.

“Somewhat will be waiting for us after this.” Leo said. “At least we will make a lot of sins later.”

War will always demand murder. And murder means making an unforgivable sin.

Since first coming to this place and undergoing tutorials, they have been taught that in order to survive in this place, halal kills humans to stay afloat.

“At least I'm sure this is our first and last war. Please just so.” Mein said softly and with a certain intent.

“I hope ... none of us disappear. said Terumi holding her painful chest.

The meeting dissolved and before continuing the conversation with Erina, Ray decided to go to one place.

He went to the roof of the building and looked at the view of Open World carefully.

“Can be this is the last time I see the beauty of Open World.”

Soon this place will be destroyed because of Secret's unreasonable task. Well, at least, Ray already had the readiness to execute his plan.

“Virgo. I don't know who you are. If you intend to play an ordinary wild show then go ahead. As long as I'm the one playing the mastermind, that's enough.”

...Prologue....

This is a snippet of the future part that will happen. A time will come when the Open World reaches its end and is headed for destruction.

There were dead bodies and death everywhere. The screams and wails of humans echoed worthy of stereo sound.

The cries were unavoidable and the ground was decorated with blood-red wine. The smell of fishy and burning trees and buildings.

It is unmistakable that it is a real sight of a small part of hell. A terrifying scene where the entire Open World was devoured by the red man.

In the middle of the amazing scene was a man surrounded by corpses, a man straddling a girl. Even so he seemed to not care. All he did was focus on his grasp.

“Me ... why?” The girl whined while crying. His voice was barely heard in the middle of the noise. It also supported the factor that his neck was being strangled.

“Why am I doing this? I don't know. I also want to know why.”

He looked cold and didn't seem to care. Including the cries and whining of the woman below who seemed pathetic. No, it's very sad.

“I ... what's my fault?”

“Think for yourself. Well, that goes if you still have time. See you.”

The man exerted all his strength in the grasp of his hand. A few seconds later the force of the grip broke the girl's neck with the sound of 'Krek!' that's pretty hard.

His life floated in an instant. Tears no longer flowed along with the loss of light in his eyes.

The man stood staggering and looked at the sky.

He began to tremble with his blood-filled body.

“Ku hu hu hu ..”

A giggle that no one could understand began to echo. From the sound that was initially slow getting louder and people will judge the laughter seemed full of madness.

“Ku ha ha ha! HA HA HA HA HA!”

“It's fun. Now I know why I received a title like this! Ku ha ha ha! I really am an incredibly despicable bastard! Ku ha ha ha!”

The laughter echoed loudly without anyone hearing it in the Open World that was headed for its destruction.
