Pick Me Up Infinite Gacha! - P.M.U Chapter 229: Mission Type, Complex (9) (Part 2)

Pria’s lips moved again.

This time, I could read her whisper.

‘Please.’

A flash of tension and fear crossed Pria’s face.

But it quickly disappeared, and her expression hardened again.

“I hereby declare!”

Pria pointed the sword in her right hand at the egg.

“I, Priasis Al Ragnar, pledge my body and soul to the goddess to restore the future!”

Pria threw the pouch with her left hand.

The three key fragments scattered in the air.

[Essence of the Sky!]

[Vessel of the Earth!]

[Cup of the Sea!]

[Combine!]

Wooong!

The key fragments stopped in midair and turned into orbs of light.

Then the orbs of light flew toward the sword Pria was holding and merged, swirling together.

[Dimensional Sword ‘Ruthrada’ awakens!]

[Special NPC ‘Priasis Al Ragnar’ gains the title ‘Golden Heir’!]

The once decorative sword Pria held began to emit a golden brilliance.

It wasn’t just sparkling; the golden radiance at the sword’s tip illuminated the entire field, burning brightly.

“…….”

The mercenaries fighting on the ground and in the air stopped swinging their weapons, staring blankly at Pria.

It didn’t take a minute for this to turn into a cheer.

“Waaaah!”

“Clear the path for the princess!”

[Effect of ‘Golden Heir’ enhances morale!]

[The entire mercenary group’s morale surges!]

The mercenary group’s attack became even fiercer.

Despite the fierce counterattacks from the monsters, resulting in numerous casualties on the mercenaries’ side, they continued to advance without hesitation.

“What an impressive effect.”

Velkist sneered.

“Chosen by the heavens, it seems. To those who know nothing, she would appear godlike. Well, it’s worth the trouble of cleaning up after her.”

Velkist folded his arms and looked at the egg.

“So, is our princess going to handle that revolting lump of flesh?”

The mercenary fleet was approaching the egg.

The flying monsters fell, riddled by the barrage, and even large monsters couldn’t do much.

After all, the firepower of the Townia fleet was on a different level. The numbers were overwhelmingly in their favor.

‘We need reinforcement too.’

From the 50th floor onward, we can clear advanced daily dungeons.

Resource acquisition rates would improve significantly.

From now on, we will need to operate a mid-sized fleet.

However, there were significant losses during the mission.

‘Edis…’

It wasn’t the time to think about her yet.

I shook my head and looked at Pria.

Pria was approaching the egg with the golden sword raised.

<Hmph, only awakening now. So late. If you had been able to use the dimensional sword sooner, it wouldn’t have fallen so easily.>

Halkion said, grooming its wings.

Normal magic or physical attributes don’t work on the Fragment series.

Since first encountering them in the mission, I have invested tremendous time and effort to devise countermeasures for the heroes of Niflheimr.

“Step back!”

When Pria swung her sword sideways, the tentacles clinging to the airships retreated on their own.

The difference in reaction was vast compared to when we faced them. The tentacles seemed to squirm away from the light of the sword.

The mercenary fleet approached the egg almost without interference.

“Come to think of it… the prince hasn’t shown up.”

Jenna looked around the field.

Indeed, the prince who left the arena was nowhere to be seen.

By now, he would have shown up to meddle.

“Well, it’s good if they don’t show up! Anyway, it’s a relief things are going well.”

Jenna smiled and sat next to me.

Then she leaned her head on my shoulder.

“……You’re heavy.”

“I’m tired. Just bear with it.”

The smile on Jenna’s face turned bitter.

She must be thinking of Edis.

I said nothing and looked ahead.

In front of the egg, the princess was raising her sword high.

The golden light emanating from the sword’s tip shot up high into the sky.

“I will not… watch any longer. Return to where you came from!”

Pria slowly lowered her sword.

The dimensional sword’s radiance pierced through the egg from top to bottom in a straight line.

There was no explosion or tearing flesh sound.

Woooong.

The giant egg, reaching a height of hundreds of meters, was enveloped in brilliant light.

Then, like a light being switched off, it vanished, leaving countless particles of light behind.

‘It was done with a single slash.’

Technically, it was sent back.

At the same time, light wrapped us.

[Stage Clear!]

[‘Han(★★★★)’, ‘Jenna(★★★★)’, ‘Velkist(★★★★)’, ‘Kishasha(★★★★)’, ‘Katiio(★★★★)’ leveled up!]

[‘Venik(★★★★)’, ‘Anan(★★★★)’, ‘Rain(★★★★)’… ]

[Reward – 1,000,000G, Heart of the Sovereign, Sharpened Fang X 3, Superior Mercenary Token X 2, Enchanting Stone…]

[MVP – ‘Han(★★★★)’]

Time on the field had stopped.

The cheering mercenaries, and the fleeing monsters, were all frozen like statues.

Pria was frozen, just about to look back at me.

[Congratulations on clearing the 50th floor, Master!]

[You’ve entered the ranks of the elite in Pick Me Up! Boast to your friends, family, and the internet!]

[My assistance will soon be unnecessary. It’s sad! May the goddess’s blessing be with you!]

[※Additional content can be checked in the help menu.]

‘It’s over.’

I sighed.

It took us so long.

‘First…’

I decided to sleep when I returned.

I felt like I was going to die from exhaustion.

I would talk to Pria in detail on the next floor.

The heroes nearby began to disappear in the light.

The signal for the return.

I prepared to return too.

“……?”

Just before going back.

I narrowed my eyes.

Someone was standing in the distance.

Soon, I realized it was the prince.

「…….」

He didn’t even glance this way.

In the frozen world, the prince in a crimson cloak silently watched Pria.

His gaze didn’t waver until I returned.
