MHGA Chapter 337 – Sirius
"!"
Joseph's eyes widened as he stared at the dragon on the screen.
A radiant platinum carapace, a crown-like set of curved horns upon its head, golden eyes, and thick winged forelimbs adorned with luminous rings like ageless halos… It was a dragon that exuded divinity itself.
The great dragon was flying at extreme speed through the sky, seemingly in deliberate pursuit.
But no matter how Joseph looked at it… something about the background—the sky behind the dragon—looked alarmingly modern.
"Shagaru Magala… is coming?!"
A jolt of urgency rushed through Joseph.
The location where that Shagaru Magala appeared was clearly high in this world's atmosphere, and it was closing in fast.
Joseph's only guess was that the Shagaru Magala had sensed the presence of the Gore Magala and was now en route to deal with its stray kin.
It wouldn't even need to engage it directly—just releasing its scale dust before the Gore Magala's transformation was complete would be enough to inflict the harshest punishment this world could offer.
At that very moment, the already wounded Gore Magala fighting Himmel suddenly erupted into a frenzy, likely sensing the approaching threat, and began to emit even more Frenzy Virus at a terrifying rate.
Himmel covered his mouth and nose as he dodged another burst of the virus, frowning at the now-rampaging Gore Magala.
This monster was completely incompatible with Himmel's fighting style—far more so than the Kirin had been.
The Kirin, due to long starvation and its more restricted form, hadn't truly unleashed its monstrous vitality against Himmel.
But the Gore Magala, with its enormous form, was fully showcasing the wild, powerful vitality of a monster.
Even though Himmel had struck a massive wound across the monster's forehead—likely even damaging the brain, based on his assessment—
There were still no signs that the Gore Magala had been seriously injured.
His sword had pierced flesh and left gaping wounds, but this monster simply wouldn't fall.
Wounds that would be fatal to any ordinary lifeform were already compensated for by the sheer overwhelming vitality of this creature.
Now bearing a huge wound across its right brow, the Gore Magala let out a furious roar. A flash of gold even gleamed from the injury, and the monster's form seemed to swell yet again.
"..."
Himmel pressed the attack.
The Gore Magala's sudden frenzy had been unexpected, but Himmel could vaguely guess why.
During their earlier battle, the monster had repeatedly tried to move toward Altair—clearly demonstrating a certain level of intelligence.
Now, this violent reaction made it obvious—it had sensed a threat… and not from Himmel.
Himmel knew that if this kept up, he'd eventually win. No matter how absurd its vitality, the monster would fall to relentless assault.
Even if the Shagaru Magala itself arrived, Himmel was prepared for battle.
His only worry… was whether something unexpected might occur if the fight dragged on too long.
Himmel's concern—and the information from Joseph's Spirit Writing—were quickly relayed to Kairo Retsu.
"…We guessed right after all."
Amidst his battle with Altair, Kairo Retsu glanced at the message Joseph had sent to the Gathering Hall.
So Shagaru Magala really was on its way—and could arrive at any moment.
Kairo Retsu wasn't sure whether to be relieved or not that the Creations of this world had carved out a specific "Birdcage" area for combat—at least that meant the dragon's arrival wouldn't result in widespread casualties.
But what this battle would become next—Kairo Retsu truly didn't know.
Could the current combat strength of the Hunters finish off Shagaru Magala here? With just their High Rank gear?
Rely on Himmel?
The Gore Magala had already shown its monstrous vitality—it wouldn't be brought down easily. Would unexpected developments unfold before they could even face the Shagaru?
Should they settle the chaos in the Birdcage before it arrived? For example… finish Altair?
Kairo Retsu's expression hardened as countless thoughts swirled in his mind.
He had once believed that defeating the Gore Magala and Altair would be enough to restore this world's balance.
But the arrival of Shagaru Magala—and the truth revealed by Joseph's Spirit Writing—had thrown that plan into disarray.
Was Shagaru Magala here to eliminate the Gore Magala?
If this Gore Magala, already on the verge of irreversible mutation, confronted the Shagaru—would it be suppressed? Or would it fully transform into a Chaotic Gore Magala?
If Altair remained unresolved when the Shagaru arrived… what would happen if the two met?
These swirling thoughts plagued Kairo Retsu's mind.
Meanwhile, within the Birdcage, Rui Kanoya was working alongside Meteora, preparing to convert the viewers' approval rating into the manifestation of Altair's replica—Sirius—to assist the Creations in delivering a final blow to Altair.
[May the world respond to my invocation—may even the fleeting instant stretch to an eternal millennium, let the ancient flow reveal its form through rhythm…]
[Cross the perilous ridges of eternity, let the soul be born from the snow of Ko, and be crowned under the star of Ox…]
[Now, dawn shall break upon Holopsicon!]
With Meteora's spell unleashed, the ritual etched into Rui Kanoya's robot forced the existence known as Sirius into reality.
Amid Altair's clash with the Creations, a swift energy beam cut through countless city blocks and struck Altair squarely as she moved.
A massive cloud of smoke obscured her figure—and when she burst out of it, she was met with the sight of…
Someone who looked exactly like her.
But with no expression.
No signs of intelligence.
A being crafted to mirror Altair perfectly—her reflection in every way.
Sirius.
Endowed with powers identical to Altair's, created deliberately as a perfect copy of Altair—her mirror image.
The sight of Sirius finally shattered what remained of Altair's composure.
In her crimson eyes, a trace of purple-red light shimmered as she stared at Sirius with seething rage.
"What a joke… that form was meant to be the last radiance created by my dearest ally—at the cost of her life!"
With no hesitation whatsoever, Altair lunged straight at Sirius, unleashing Holopsicon in a direct assault.
