Chapter 53.1: #3 Chapter V3C53.1 Overlimit Skill Holder Vol 3 Chapter 53.1 \nVol 3: Chapter 53\n
Even though it was night, the citizens of the Empire were out of their house and looking up at the sky. Many searchlights chased âQueen of the Nightâ, as well as a number of airships in the sky.
Nine pillars of light beamed up.
With evenly spaced distance between each light, the pillars of light circled around the Empire.
The scene was so unrealistic that people wondered if it was a show.
ăWhy canât I see the starsâŚ?ă
I was on the roof of the tallest building near the place where I could see the sky well. For some reason, the five-story buildingâs rooftop was a storeroom, with tables, chairs, tools and wood left unorganised.
I strained my eyes to look closely at the sky. âQueen of the Nightâ, which passed right above me a while ago, was escaping wonderfully, while about five other airships were giving chase. Other airships were deployed from here and there. Some of them seemed like they held a faint hope that they could catch up with âQueen of the Nightâ if they could circle around it, and some others seemed like they had given up halfway through the pursuit.
But what caught my mind was the sky itself. Right before I entered Her Highnessâ room, I saw a beautiful starry sky. But now the night sky was painted black. Even the amount of light reflected from the moon was greatly reduced, as if a fog was blocking it. And although the streetlights illuminated the direct ground, the rooftop where I stood was sunk in the dark.
(Is it some thick rain clouds? But it doesnât rain much here except during the rainy season.)

While I was pondering on the eeriness of the black sky, the black seemed to swirl like a vortex. I thought it was an optical illusion, but I heard a voice on the ground shouting, âThe sky!!!â
Meri Meri, Meri Meri Meri Meri Meri Meri Meri Meri Meriăź
At that time, a sound was heard. A sound similar to breaking a live tree over time.
I felt cold chills, as if I had contracted the worst kind of influenza.
(Why canât I discern the true nature of that vortex even though Iâm looking throughăWorld Ruleră?)
Like a drop of blood, a red spot appeared in the center of the vortex. The red flowed in parallel with the vortex. As the red spot opened up like the aperture blades of a camera, heads of big snakes came slithering down.
Not just one or two, but big snakes numbering in the hundreds and thousands. Some were spotted and some were striped. Then, something resembling the trunk of a sea anemone came down from the same spot.
The people on the ground broke into panic.

The sea anemoneâor rather, snake anemone, easily exceeded the âQueen of the Nightâ in size. Seeing something like that descending from the sky, one or two screams is quite natural. Its appearance physiologically brought out the feeling of disgust from those who witnessed itâas if the appearance was intentionally made for that purpose.
Even as I felt creeps and chills running down my body, I couldnât take my eyes off the snake anemone.
I was able to analyze the snake anemone withăWorld Ruleră, but it wasnât of much use. Because it only relayed information like âa living thingâ, âsnake with highly toxic fangsâ and such.
Rather than that, I had an intuition. That the snake anemone was the same as Ouroboros.
ăItâs a monster from the âOther Worldâ!ă
Taken aback, I surveyed around the snake anemone. I didnât see the mediator.
As I was feeling relieved on one hand, the question of why this happened arose.

The snake anemoneâs body stretched several hundred meters and was fast approaching the ground. It was about 3 kilometers away from me.
I ran usingăSprinting Techniqueă, and jumped from building to building usingăJumping Techniqueă. I ran along rooftops and roofs towards the snake anemone.
I did consider running away, but it would seem that I am connected by fate to the âOther Worldâ. When looking at it that way, I thought to at least help with the evacuation of those who were too late to escape.
Lev people who were looking out the window saw me.
ăHide in a sturdy place!ăI shouted.
The road below was already in a mixture of screams and turmoil. Panicked citizens pushing at each other to escape from the snake anemone.
ăCitizens, we are confirming the appearance of unknown enemies. Please evacuate as far as possible. In 1 minute, we will launch attacks from the airship.ă
One of the military airships returned and made an announcement from the sky, which spurred confusion.

I thought, but the big snakes had already bitten and lifted several Lev people off the ground. Casualties had already appeared.
ăWe strongly recommend evacuation. Please donât hide in a sturdy building or under shelters. 10, 9, 8âŚâŚă
By the time the countdown started, I was about 300 meters from the snake anemone.
The snake anemone plunged down onto the ground, crushing the buildings beneath. Intense cloud of dust rolled up and my foothold swayed.
Three shells were fired from the fort of the airship. The shells drew an arc in the air and sank into the body of the snake anemone, detonating. More and more buildings collapsed as the snake anemone twisted and writhed. But the bombardment seems to be effective.
ăUwaaaaaaa! Uwaaaaaaâă
Hearing a cry near a collapsed building, I ran over there.

I saw a Lev girl standing stock still and crying her eyes out.
I couldnât even talk to her as she just kept crying.
At that moment, my ears picked up moaning from inside the debris.
ăIs there someone inside?ăI asked the girl.
The girl finally responded. I nodded and activatedăEarth Magicăto raise the ground. It pushed away the debris and created a gap. Inside, was a woman with an injured leg.
ăGrab my hand! I will pull you out!ă

My frustration was rising.
Even though there are people stronger than me, I thought myself to be quite strong. However, I am way too powerless to deal with a monster of that size. The monster was out of range of all offensive magic such asăFire MagicăandăWind Magică. I canât even retaliate with one shot.
ăNo, wait⌠if itâs just âone shotâ, maybe I could pull it off?ă
When Leon betrayed us, he used Non-san as a shield. At that time, I wished I had a magic which could be invoked similar to precision shooting.
Certainly, you canât use magic which could pass through a needle hole. I feel that it would be possible if there were other skill orbs besidesăMana Controlă, but anyway, I canât invoke minimum magic at the moment.
However, on the flip side, I can compress maximum magic into a small size.
ăăFire Magicădisappears if blown away by wind, so its effective range is short, but if I compress a high-outputăFire Magică, for example⌠it might work.ă
I envisioned the maximum magic that the Mithril-rank adventurer Crysta-la-Crysta displayed. That magic that substantially chomped down even the vitality of a dragon with one shot should naturally be effective on the snake anemone.

No, if I was as proficient withăFire Magicăas Crysta was, I should be able to fly in the sky using blasts, but I still donât have that ability. To be precise, I do have the ability, but lack the skill to control it.
Crysta was the real life example of âA master in one art does not dabble in many arts.â On the contrary, I can do everything, but canât do anythingăźJack of all trades and master of none.
ăFor now, letâs think about a way to combine the âeverythingâ I can do.ă
I should be able to compress high-output magic. Next is, how close can I get to the snake anemone.
At that moment, I noticed another black shadow in the sky.
It was way too big to call it an âairshipâ. So vast and gigantic that even if you placed 10 of Muge-sanâs warehouses on it, it would still have a surplus of space left. Many small airships took off from there.
Exactly what you would call an âaircraft carrierâ. Just, instead of sailing in the sea, it was flying in the sky.
