Ruiner Nergigante の小説・ストーリー

The city wasn’t merely ruined; it was actively reclaiming itself, nature’s relentless tide eroding the remnants of a once-proud civilization. Their first challenge wasn’t a monstrous guardian or a magical trap, but the sheer density of the ruins. Buildings had collapsed into each other, creating a labyrinthine network of passageways and chambers, each one more perilous than the last. The trackers, their eyes keen and their senses sharp, led the way, navigating the treacherous terrain with practiced ease. Ronan, his mind already racing, began to map their progress, his notes scribbled on scraps of parchment, forming a rudimentary map of their journey through this lost world.

For some reason, my feet were rooted to the floor, and I didn't even have it in me to wrap my arms around him as well. Liam pulled away from the hug when he had enough. “And here is your cousin, Andrei. He was literally waiting for you to get better every night.” I turned in the direction of the man he was pointing at. Her black hair and blue eyes. Great. He gave me a small wave. I waved back at him. Liam finally found his way back to his seat. I noticed the seat at the top of the room. The one that was left vacant. The one that had my name written on it.

Nikolai's knife plunged into the brute's thigh, twisting, but the giant roared and headbutted him, blood smearing both their faces. Nikolai reeled, but he didn't go down. With a feral growl, he yanked the knife free and drove it upward, under the brute's chin, straight into his brain. The big man froze, his eyes glazing over, then collapsed in a heap. And then the shot rang out. It came from the shadows near the crates—I twisted, horror dawning as I saw Scar-face, propped up on one elbow, a gun wavering in his hand.

“Does your family own property connected to Kara’s parents? Somewhere tied to the accident itself?” Jeremy went very still. “The old shipping warehouse. The one my father’s company used before everything with Kara’s father fell apart. It’s been abandoned for years, but she never let anyone sell it. I always assumed it was sentiment. I never once considered it might mean something darker.” “That’s where she’d go,” I said, certainty settling cold and immediate in my chest. “If she wanted somewhere to feel powerful again, somewhere connected to everything she’s spent years protecting.” “I’ll drive,” Xavier said, already moving. “Jeremy, stay here in case she tries to come back or calls.”

I threw the stack of cash on his table and that act caused the dealer to look up, his leg crossed on the table in front of him. “Look who we have here,” he said, a smirk forming on his face. I wished to fucking wipe it off his face. “The mighty Zayn Santiago. To what do I owe this pleasant visit?” He asked, trying to pretend he didn't fucking know why I was here and it infuriated the hell out of me. “I want the crystals,” I said plainly, getting straight to the point, not wanting to spend a second more than needed in this goddamn place. “Oh right,” he laughed. Pulling open one of the drawers attached to the table. “We got some new stuff. You'd definitely like this one,” He threw a sealed bag

The platform creaked and groaned under the growing flames and then collapsed completely. ——————- Earth went flying as spectacular explosions went off behind the garrison's troops. "What is going on?" Mairwen shouted. Renat gave a demure shrug. "I call them rupture balls." "You made them?!" The princess stared at him wide eyed. Even though they were in mortal peril, she could not help but feel some admiration. "It's nothing really," Renat assured her. "They are not even really finished." Just then the fire folded on itself and part of the garrison wall collapsed. "General Beadu!" Renat cried as he looked over his shoulder. "He was on that part of the wall!"

Instead of punishing him, I simply stared into those golden eyes that once made me believe in forever. “Keep saying my name,” I whispered. “Every time you do, I remember exactly why I became the Queen of Ruin.” I pried his fingers off my coat and stood. As I reached the door, my pager buzzed violently. Security breach attempt on the northern residence wing. They’re getting closer. I looked back at Justin one last time. He was watching me with shattered intensity — pain, lust, love, and regret all twisted together. The second plea had failed. But something told me the third one would be far more dangerous.

He did not know that just as the ruined city disappeared from the underwater world, a huge explosion suddenly occurred. This explosion swept across the battle god battalion. Although Fenrir did not die, he was not in a good condition either. “No matter who you are, I’ll definitely find you.” Fenrir stood on the spot and said coldly as the underwater ancient ruin disappeared in front of him. The ruined city appeared in Blossoms Valley and crashed to the ground. The system prompt sounded again. “The teleportation is complete. The ruined city will begin an automated self-inspection. For one month, the ruined city can’t move and can’t activate the invisible mode.”

This was her win, not its. But the fight wasn’t over. It expanded into a larger, more grotesque ruin. It had eyes like gouged pits of blackness, an abyss of darkness in its gaze, and it moved with horrific speed.” For Serena, there was little time to react as it plunged at her, its claws slashing inches from her face. Lucian appeared, sword thwapping into the beast’s arm, hitting bone, steel sparking. The Ruin hissed but remained where it was. But it was a force of nature and intent on tearing down.
