Part 16: "Heaven Apostles"



APPLe: Not so many forks ahead! We are getting closer to the outer wall.
Vertin: Yes. I heard the sounds of the street.
Bodyguards: Miss Sotheby, did you get hurt? We didn't know there were so many ambushes ...
Sotheby: No worries! You carry Freddy ... ahem ... and clean up the potion on his mouth!
Sonetto: We gathered much intelligence this time. When we get out of here, I will write a report ...
Sonetto: Oh, and ...
Sonetto: Timekeeper, there is another person!
Sonetto: I heard someone asking for help around here! There was also remnants of potion there ...
Sonetto: I want to help her get out.
Vertin: Can you find her position?
Sonetto: Let me think ... it should be around the wall, in front of the critter lair ...
Sonetto: At the end of this corner ... turn right ...

Schneider: Huh! Sis, it's Schneider, call my name …

Schneider: Don't you remember me? It's Schneider ...

Schneider: Oh, sorry …
Schneider: I'll get you out right now ... Back to our citrus orchard in Sicily …
Marian: vomits
Schneider: Shh ... be quiet! We will be back home soon.
Schneider: ...

Sonetto: You?!
Sonetto: You chased us here!
Sonetto: It is you! You are abusing this girl ... evil murderer, I must stop you!
Schneider: Don't piss me off. Get lost!
Sonetto's arcane skill rushes toward Schneider. Unlike what she used to cast, this one is like a blade made of anger.
Schneider: Uggh …
The girl falls down from Schneider's back. She opens her eyes and rushes to Vertin in panic.
Marian: No! No! I'm not arcanist! I'm not arcanist! I'm not arcanist!!
Marian: I didn’t ... won't pretend to be an arcanist ... Oh ... I-I-I can't ... can't drink anymore ...
Vertin: We're here to help. Stay calm, miss.
She seems to have lost her mind: despite what others say, she just keeps repeating the same incomprehensible words, hands grasping the one in front of her.
Vertin: Uggh ... Let go ...
Schneider: Sis ... don't be like this. You are safe now.
Schneider: What the hell did they force you to eat! F**k!
Sonetto: Huh?!
Sonetto: You are her sister ... I ...
Sonetto: She took the Truth Serum. I have memorized the formula. The feel and smell of the liquid could confirm it.
Sonetto: Let her lie on her back. Right arm high. I will conduct first aid and get her vomit up the potion.
Schneider: ... Ok. Be quick.
The coming sound of footsteps seems more and more oppressive to those who are stranded by this labyrinth.
Woosh! Woosh!
The whipping sound of vines echoes in the corridor.
It is followed by countless footsteps, which implies danger that approaches like a swarm of greedy insects.
APPLe: Oh! We got company! We need to get out of here fast!
Schneider stands up.
Schneider: Stay focused. Forget the rest.
Sonetto: Don't worry. Leave it to me.
Sonetto: Just a little more time, she will spit it out ...
Woosh! Woosh! Woosh!
Someone walks toward them leisurely out of the dark.
Her arcane skill has destroyed every inch of the corridor as she approaches.
APPLe: Waffles, the new enemies are not something we can deal with!
Sotheby: Everyone,I found the exit!
Sotheby: This is where we crashed into! As long as we push out the "Auto Island", we can escape from here!
APPLe: Everyone, start pushing now! We have to get out of here!
APPLe: Waffles, the new enemies are not something we can deal with!
As the enemy approaches from the distance, a group of men in black rush out from another corner.
They look around, panic-stricken, and eventually their eyes fall on Schneider.
Man In Black: Is it here? Is the exit here?
Man In Black: Boss! What should we do?
Schneider: Here you are ... The exit is here.
Schneider: Push the car!
Special Action Team Captain: New guys push the hood! Keep pushing! On my mark!
Special Action Team Captain: Ready? Push! Ready? Push!
Sotheby: Oh ... I'm sorry. My "Auto Island" is too strong ... Umm, it's ... it's not moving at all …
Sotheby: I'm running out of strength …
Vertin: Mr. APPLe! The "Heaven Apostle"!
APPLe: Oh!
APPLe: Please move out of the way! This is very dangerous!
APPLe: Three rounds left, then right, open the wing, put on the wheel ...
APPLe: Stay away from the car!
Sotheby: Oh ... wow!
APPLe: The car is blasted to the street! Get out of hole while you can! This wall is about to collapse!

APPLe: The car is blasted to the street! Get out of the hole while you can! This wall is about to collapse!
Special Action Team Captain: Run ... I can hold a little longer ...
Sotheby: Four. Five. Six. Quick! We're all out! Just you!
Sonetto: Timekeeper! The wall is falling down!
???: ... Sorry. Please, don't run away.
Vertin: ...!
In the blink of an eye, she is now standing in front of them.
Judging from her speed of approaching and the range of her arcane skill, it won't make any difference even if all of them manage to escape from the bar.
Only four are left inside the wall.
Sonetto is trying hard to maintain balance at the exit while carrying Marian on her back.
Sonetto: Timekeeper ... Timekeeper!
Marian: You are ... Schneider, right? Did I ... get away?
Schneider: ...
Schneider: Yes. You made it.
Schneider: You are free now.
Vertin: Go. Run freely.
Vertin: Leave the rest to me.
Vertin and Schneider gently push them out of the exit.

...
The next moment, the wall has collapsed, blocking the only way out.
???: ...

Schneider: Heh heh ... surprisingly, there's a day ... to fight side by side with you, Ms. Governor.
Vertin: Let's see what a good match we are.
Vertin: It's win or die.


FINAL BOSS

Schneider: ...
Schneider: Huh ...
Vertin: ...
???: ...
Druvis Ⅲ: ... It's you?
