Strange.

It is strange that Christ would die.

Even that Mr. Tiara said that Christ would never die.

He even said it was a problem because he would never die.

From now on, wasn't Christ going to be the enemy of the world along with his sister, that Yotaki guy?

Haven't we prepared ourselves to stop Christ from becoming not just the strongest, but invincible?

Wasn't that why Lastiara was prepared to bring his friends together and prepare them?

But if Christ is dead now, all those assumptions are turned upside down.

I already had enough information to understand.

But I still couldn't admit it to myself.

Maria, who was very close to me, was the same, and she asked Lagunet-san, trembling, ”La, Lagunet-san, that's it.

'La, Lagune-san, it ....... That kind of .......

Yes. You see, Maria, it's just as you see it. But, please wait a minute. First of all, I want to make sure that the contract between Mr. Fafner and the squire is clear.

They told me immediately that it was a corpse as I saw it.

Our hope is violently cut off, and Maria and I both turn even paler.

Between the shock, Fafner-san, who looked up even though she couldn't wipe away her tears, speaks the rest of the story.

''Ha, haha. A master-servant contract or ....... Does that mean you're going to be Kanami's understudy?

No, I'm not a substitute. I'm going to surpass Kanami's brother and become the best. I'm going to surpass the 'Great Savior (Magna Messiah)' and win, win, win, win, win over everything in the world, and I hope to become a god at the end of .......

Lie to me, ....... You're just trying to impress me, dude.

Fafner glared at her with both tears in his eyes, which Ragne coolly passed off.

''Mm. I knew it, no? Rather than ......, Fafner-san is too decent! It's the most sane thing I've ever met in my life, the one that steals your reason. I'm not stumped and I'm not trying to put my trust in anything. ...... You're so sane, you're so sane, you remain normal, you don't pay any 'price' at all, you're just one 'person' facing this world.

'Is ......?　Am I normal?　Haha, I've never heard that before. I never thought you'd see anything out of the ordinary in all of this. But I'm a lot more than you think.

'When you're properly saddened by someone's misfortune and then get caught up in it and cry, that's pretty insane, isn't it?

Crisply, Mr. Ragne assured him.

Fafner-san did not retort to that.

On the contrary, as if to admit it, he said in a small voice, ”-- Right. That's why I'm no good,” he nodded and increased the amount of tears again.

It was a conversation that showed that the two people in front of me had something in common that we didn't have.

But that's not important to us now.

What is important is something else.

Instead of me, Maria shouts it first.

''Mr. Lagune!　It doesn't matter!　Take it!　Explain that kind of thing to me right now!

He finally recovered from the shock and took a step forward.

'Description is ....... This is a dead body. That's the end of the explanation.

In contrast, Ragne-san laughed like a cat.

He answered in an agitated manner, as if he was waiting for that step.

'Who, what is it ....... It's .......

Oh, that's where we start. As you can see, this is Kanami's brother. In other words, the battle in the upper floor is over. Nosufi and Kanami's brother were both defeated, and I'm the winner. ...... Can't you see that much?

As soon as she finished listening, Maria was ready for battle.

She is clothed in such a thick magical power and killing spirit that it seems she wasn't in a state of readiness when she was fighting the substandard ”the one that steals the truth of blood”.

The tip of that eye is, of course, the corpse that Ragne-san has.

''...... it, let me have a good look at it. Let me check it out.

And then he begged them to give it to him.

But the enemy shook his head and tried to refuse the request.

You can't do that. ”You can't do that. I'm going to give it to you.

Just go to ・・・・ and hurry (...)

But before she could say no to that, Maria refused to be refused and released a no-motion fire magic from her hand.

It was not a red flame, but a white flame. The all-out 《Flame Arrow》 without any calculation at all, it rushed out while evaporating like a gutting of a pool of blood.

''-- 《Quartz Shield》''

Lagne-san had expected that, and she responded to it with magic without being upset at all.

It was a magic that should have been impossible for her, who had little magical talent.

It wasn't just an earth magic, but a crystal magic that purified the power of the earth to the extreme. The crystal that was once used by 'The One Who Steals the Reason of the Earth' Lowen Alais in the 'Dancing Tournament' was generated.

The crystal spread out like a mold from the sword at Ragne's waist and covered the left half of her body.

It becomes a hemispherical shield and flicks away the 《Flame Arrow》 as if a small sun were rushing through it.

The 《Flame Arrow》 slammed into the back wall and melted the soil, creating a horizontal hole that I don't know how far it goes.

''Heh, collecting our magic stones can do that ......

Fafner-san was fluently marveling at the brilliant crystal defense.

''Fafner-san, please take care of Kanami's brother for a moment. I'll pull out the magic stone later, please be polite.

Ragné tries to hand the corpse he was holding over to him, who has a free hand.

It's probably in preparation for the battle that's about to begin.

It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get the best out of it.

It's a good thing that you're not going to have to be told ....... It's Kanami's body. ......

Mr. Fafner received the corpse and hugged its body tightly, closing its eyelids and letting all the tears that had gathered in its eyes fall away.

Seeing this, of course, Maria's heat rose.

'I'm telling you to give it to me here: ......!　Can't you hear me? ......!

Her magic is feverish and the pool of blood at her feet is boiling even though she hasn't activated any magic.

Seriousness is serious, too.

She looks as pissed off as she did a year ago in the battle with Palinkron.

That time, Maria turned one battlefield into scorched earth.

I'm about to unleash a map-rewriting level of magic in this small space.

'......!　Well, wait a minute!　You need to calm down!　It's not a done deal yet!　Something is wrong!　A lot of things are wrong!

I remembered the flames of that day, and as soon as I could I tried to stop them.

I didn't want to get involved, but I was even more worried that I was being provoked by the enemy.

However, there was no way Maria would listen to that restraint, and the next magic was building up.

'I am calm ....... I'm calm and just decided ...... that I'm just going to fight either way!　--magic 《Tiana Blaze》!

Maria holds up her arms and converges the oversized magical power at the end of them.

The attribute of the compressed magical power is fire.

Naturally, that sphere of magical power is hot and white.

Beyond the ordinary colors of red and blue, the too-dense magic power and heat shine white.

Earlier I likened the Flame Arrow to a small sun.

But if you look at the magic that's being used now, you'll understand how lukewarm the heat of the previous Flame Arrow was.

And as if to appeal to the fact that this is the real sun, the white sphere blotted out the water on the ground, scattered white smoke, and swelled up.

With my skin scorched and my eyeballs nearly melted, I protected my face with my arms, and then took a defensive stance with wind magic.

At the prep stage, it's no longer a range magic.

Just by being there, the entire pool of blood boiled off. It turned the underground cavity into a scorching hell, trying to deny all possible life.

That murderous white sphere finally gained enough volume to swallow a person--.

Eat it.

Maria released that sun.
