The Nameless Crown
Chapter 33 - He, The Key Bearer of Alignma III

“The questions are ... there is someone who walks by the beach without breaking water. When he looked back, he saw no footprints. Why?”

“I-i-it's because ... “

“Hmm? Because ... “

“The guy flew!”

“Fly? What an amazing answer little girl, but dear. Your answer is wrong total.”

It was then that Nardhal [Female]'s face distorted. The originally friendly and innocuous sharpen turned dark. Both eyes narrowed with veins coming out from the sides, the hue of the skin darkened like a shadow in the mirror did not glow.

“Dearless!- How dare you-Want to play me-Don't wish congratulations!”

“See? Actually, it's not that hard. You just need this,” Ash replied as he pointed at his head. “Otak! Just the brain you need and also a little patience.”

Nardhal [Female] was growling, the surrounding atmosphere became tight. It was as if everything that was trying to get close to him was sucked in by an invisible force.

Black threads poked out from the ground, floating around it like a protector. Ash again wonders about the sanity of the guardian entity of this place.

They have strength and also intelligence, but somehow the figure is completely reluctant to use it. Does this figure never consider a newcomer like me as a threat? Think Ash.

“I don't mean to insult you, but if cornering will solve this problem faster, why not?”

Nardhal [Female]'s body slowly lifted up along the black grain like a floating spot stain. If juxtaposed with a grain of sand, then this black sphere is rougher, and denser.

In addition, the crusts of the walls peel off and then disintegrate into small crumbs. Ash only fell silent while snorting, he did not expect the figure who claimed to be the guardian of this secret Dungeon to be nothing more than an immature girl.

He knows very well how to overcome something like this. As he remembered before, he had also faced a snot-knowing girl. Exactly like Nardhal [Woman] who is now angry because he failed to answer his three puzzles.

What the entity is doing is nothing more than a form of rebellion. If if he wanted to admit defeat, then most likely their business would end quietly.

No violence or fighting. That's what Ash has wanted since the puzzle game began, but in reality it's much different.

No matter how he saw it, there was no other way but to finish it with a fight. Ash took a breath and looked down at the situation he was facing right now.

“At least I am quite calm when dealing with other people, but why can't I do it when I'm in front of Lilith, huh?” ash asked himself while bowing his head.

“Feel this!”

“[Shadow Stalker] ..”

With his dark wrathful expression, Nardhal [Female] released a wave of black sand towards Ash. However, Ash quickly makes two double jumps aided by his shadow Familiar.

He only had to jump once and his Familiar threw Ash higher up. When his master survived a massive vicious attack, he himself was crushed into the food of the big waves.

After successfully passing through the black waves, the Entity did not stop there. He again launched an attack by removing dozens of sand needles floating around him.

As soon as Ash managed to land, he immediately took a calm breath before jerking the ground running towards the Nardhal [Female] as quickly as the shadow disappeared.

“Vinidas!”

One by one the sand needles rained down on Ash, but he calmly avoided them with agile footwork. As an Assassins who had high agility, dodging attributes were crucial, and it was thanks to that that he managed to avoid almost all needle attacks belonging to Nardhal [Women].

Although his HP was slightly eroded due to the attack, but Ash did not lose his composure at all. It was different when compared to his fight against Vlad.

A fight that risks the meaning of identity. Both in the past and in the present. And in spite of all that, Ash is also on his way to continue to hone his emotions little by little.

That's why even though he was hit by a big and persistent attack. He did not lose focus or panic. The Assassins had no idea what the consequences would be if his HP was completely depleted, whether he would die, or not, and revived in a certain place just like in other games or maybe it is the eternal silence that he will get.

No one knows and so far there is no detailed notification of the problem. What he needs to do now is calm and focused, not to break and then run out in the middle of the road.

Ash continued to avoid the attack of sand needles as big as the arm of Nardhal [Woman] until finally he managed to arrive right in front of him. As soon as the dark shadow figure stopped, the whirring of the wind that had been silent for a long time became thumped violently struck the Entity.

After that Ash maneuvered quickly while swinging his dagger diagonally. However, his attack was successfully resisted by the black trough that Nardhal [Female] quickly took out in anticipation of such an attack.

Now the two of them are suppressing each other's strength. Ash's attack power is increasing as their attacks rub against each other.

Their faces were so close and so close, the two individuals were in stark contrast. When Nardhal [Woman] who was the guard looked calm at the beginning because he believed his strength could defeat Ash easily, he was now wrathful like a black flame.

On the other hand Ash's usual expression of hassles due to Lilith's behavior is now very calm like the surface of a clear lake on a clear day. Very contrasting and opposite of their initial nature.

Rattling sounds continued to be heard and the sharp friction of the air that escaped was tearing the place around them non-stop. As the atmosphere grew heavier, the two individuals who were defending each other's place stood suddenly bounced a few inches back.

However, after that Ash, the Assassin again launched his attack as fast as sound. While Nardhal [Woman] created a giant pillar that he made into a stick and dropped it towards Ash.

As soon as the two powerful attacks collided with each other. The sound of a dense wave explosion was created and a black explosion full of misfortune melted everything that blocked the exit.

“If you were willing to admit defeat, we can talk about this calmly”

“No-Grand-Just a myth!”

“So? Honey, I wanted to settle this peacefully, but it looks like you chose a different path”

“Both now or later-They're naysayers-No compromise-All die of arrogance-Face the reality of it-The comers!”

“Again what did you get from that stubbornness? A validity?”

Nardhal [Female] just fell silent then his right arm raised upwards.

“Worry about yourself-Before destiny uproot-Everything you have”

“It seems like there is no middle ground anymore, huh?”

The ground shook, the air solidified, tendrils and roots of the plant seeped forcefully out from within the white pavling. All of those elements were like being plucked from its roots and revolved above the [Female] Nardhal.

Several sounds of explosions were heard even though the explosion itself did not manifest itself. A transparent sphere like silence slowly grew above the head of the Entity.

Even the transparent umbrella of the white throne let out a fractional sound. So strong was the energy, Nardhal's [Female] mouth spewed blood from his left side.

“This is the universe - Key Holder Alignma - Owner of the 12th seat - And the guide of truth - In the darkness of reality. Prostrate on the absolute power - You .. the dissidents banished by this world ...”

The sky gave off illusory thunder. The gloomy clouds floated uncertainly and downstream the wind drove slowly when the storm was coming. Like the signs of impending disaster, signs of truth sprang up one by one.

Ash and Lilith's walls were shattered.

“So the time has come?—“

“—Benar”

“No doubts—“

“—Evenki reality destroyed”

“No regrets—“

“—Although illusion as sweet as honey runs out”

“No word retreat—“

“—When faced against the bitterness of world”

“No illusion—“

“—When the truth appears in mata” fertilizer

“This is our world—“

“—World, where all impossibilities become something that is not impossible”

“Agradivas—“

“—ein Licinas!”

The two Nardhal resonated with each other. Their voices retaliated against each other and a static glicth sound seemed to reflect the distinctive characteristics of a special Event will arrive.

[Congratulations! You are the first player to successfully bring up a special Event in the Dungeon Floral Garden. The world again assesses the truth in that place]

[Dungeon, Floral Garden\=>Endymion of Astrea, The Agravidas ein Licinas Lv. ???]

[As proof that you have successfully issued a special Event. Little Park gives you an award in the form of a nickname . What has been sunk will one day return to the surface]

[Understanding of the Elf Password search mission increased by a few percent. ]

[Your meeting with the Key Bearer of Alingma has opened up new possibilities for the understanding of the Small World of Planting. Defeat the Nardhal to get the piece of truth in the Fairy Temple]

[Do you accept this Quest? Yes/No]

With a wide grin and an adrenaline-filled expression, Ash chose [Yes]. After that from inside the notification panel of his appeared a statement that made him shocked.

[Kill the Progenitor 0/1→Reward (Key of Truth x1)]

“It's getting to be interesting,” Ash murmured with a cold look.
