Chapter 292
"Alright, here goes!"
After saying that, I push my way toward [Broken Star] .
Iris kept cutting apart the swarm of monsters to maintain the gap I'm taking to get to [Broken Star] .
Of course, I'm also getting attacked by many ancient monsters myself, but none touched me as I dodged and blocked them all with barriers .
Even though it may look like I've dealt with every attack, it's actually impossible with this many assaults .
"Don't worry about me getting hit by your attacks, just keep at it!"
I'd have preferred to go about this more carefully, but we just don't have time .
Gotta deal with these innumerable attacks either way anyway .
The difference between having Iris's claws directed toward me is like having 101 attacks coming my way instead of just 100 .
"I gotcha!"
Iris swings her claws with me included in the range .
The monster swarm rapidly collapsed, creating gaps here and there .
I slip into the ones that seem like they'll get me closer to [Broken Star] .
And when I find no gap to slip through-- . I unleash a large-scale attack magic to blow the monsters away .
"Blow away!"
"GAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
The monsters who got hit by my magic retreated while roaring angrily .
Ancient monsters posses big and heavy bodies .
But they could be moved to a degree if you shot them with magic that specialize in blowing things away .
Normally, this gap would have been buried instantly .
But thanks to Ruli's movement jamming, I managed to slip into it nicely .
I passed through the gap and made my way toward the [Broken Star] .
As such, I got closer to [Broken Star] little by little .
"Ah . . . Sorry I hit you!"

Iris whose claw sweep hit me by mistake spoke apologetically .
I reply back to Iris .
"It's okay . Don't worry and just keep doing that!"
I keep heading toward [Broken Star] while making use of even Iris's claw .
Progressing through a danger zone choke full of monsters with no space to even wriggle about .
Then--I arrived at [Broken Star] .
Right at the same time, a sound like something broke resounded in the surroundings .
Ruli's Dragon Vein control had reached its limit and broken apart .
"I failed! I'll set it right back up--"
"No, that's enough . I've made it . "
I directed the magic Ruli used toward [Broken Star] and collected [Broken Star Flake] .
Then I constructed another magic and put the flake into it, finishing up a magic tool .
Since the magic tool is made with my crest, it won't last long--nevertheless it's long enough to ensure my victory .
I've won this match the moment this magic tool is completed .
" . . . Anmorr brothers, your research has come in handy . "
Their research doesn't have much use in itself, but it became a hint in the creation of a new magic .
That [Composite Test Body Number 1] had its ego broken because it was a forceful combination of resurrected people with different personalities .
And the [Reinforced Test Body Number 1] self destructed because one man was forcefully fed with revival power beyond its body's capacity .
Excessive power is too much load for a non-composite body .
However, mixing different personalities would collapse its ego, losing their ability to wield the power .
In other words, if you make a composite of two persons with the same ego, it's possible to fuse the power while retaining one's ego .
Normally, nothing exists that could satisfy such conditions .
Different person bears different ego .
No matter how similar twins are, they have differing egos so long as they're their own person .
However--in reality, there are actually beings who meet those conditions in this world .
One is the present me, Mathias Hildesheimr .
And the other is the past me--Gaias the Sage .
