Part 2
That unusual event even reached Sakamaki Izayoi and Aži Dakāha, who were fighting in the ruined city.
"Wha-...........!!?"
"——————!!!"
Prepared for death, Izayoi has launched an attack on the Three-Headed Dragon Aži Dakāha, but due to the sudden appearance of protrusions from the ground, it was interrupted.
The mountain peak that was destroyed in a crescent shape due to their clash was reorganized as if by human hands, and turned into a paved stoned back alley of a capital.
The protrusions that appeared from the ground slowly changed shape like it was being sculpted. It didn't take long for Izayoi to realize that it was an elegant city adorned by many spire structures.
The grand bridge that crosses a large river which runs across the city.
Spire structures as far as the eye can see.
Moreover the giant clock tower that was so famous, calling it a symbol would be an understatement.
Moved to the top of the giant clock tower that also had a belfry, doubting his own eyes Izayoi quietly said to himself.
"What the hell is going on? That clock tower..... no matter how I look at it, this is London isn't it....!?"
"Yahoho! Exactly! This town filled with spires is non other than my hometown! The place my soul belongs to! The capital of England, London! .....but sadly just a replica."
A pumpkin head with old rags wiggled into view from the tip of the clock tower.
Izayoi looked up at him, but having sustained serious injuries while fighting battle after battle, he could only lean against the wall and slowly collapse panting heavily. He could more or less tell what happened, but sadly he didn't have enough blood anymore. The swaying of the bell hanging in the clock tower told of the beginning of a new act in the battle.
On the other hand Izayoi didn't have any shred of strength anymore. Having used up all his remaining strength, Izayoi cynically laughed and spat these words at Jack.
"Shit......if you planned on butting in......do it a little sooner, dammit....!!!"
"Yahoho! Really, you are absolutely right! ..... No, this isn't something to laugh away. I am truly sorry about this. When suspending an ongoing Game there are a few penalties, you see .... this Game Board is also something I asked for from the Guardian Saint, knowing full well that it was something unreasonable."
"........"
"However, thanks to Izayoi-dono buying time for us, we gathered up every bit....yes, every last bit of possible war potential. Your herculean struggle kept hope alive!"
He was swinging his pumpkin head and his old rags were swaying from emotions.
"Please leave the rest to us and rest. Well, don't worry about your injuries either. Leticia-dono said No Names have a Unicorn Horn kept in reserve—"
With a jaunty laugh, Jack put Izayoi — whose sight was getting hazy — on his shoulders.
That was the last moment Izayoi could keep himself conscious.
He had an established reputation of being beyond reason, but there is a limit to everything. The fact that he still remained conscious and retained his life was none other than a miracle. Also, Jack had a whimsical appearance, but his ability was well known to Izayoi. If this pumpkin head told him to leave it to him, then there should be no need for too much concern.
Closing his eyes, Izayoi relaxed his body and let himself lean on the pumpkin head.
