Elmirado is an excellent wizard.

However, the only thing that can be unleashed on him that is excellent is up to 'the best fire arrows imaginable'.

You can't construct a 'ray of light that transcends common sense and becomes something else' like Dia.

You can tell from the magic power and appearance he wears that it's because he's exceeded his limits with his 'demonization'.

If you look closely, just like me before, changes that seemed to be after-effects appeared on the exposed skin a little.

I had heard that he had been rescued by Serdra from 'Blood Land' a month ago, but it doesn't look like he's fully recovered yet.

That Elmirad walks and almost wobbles for a moment.

However, a woman appeared from behind to support him. It's Teri Rinker, the best wizard in the guild Epic Seeker, and the one who has been watching over me as my sister for a long time.

In other words, behind Elmiraad right now is the joint team of ”Supreme” and ”Epic Seeker”.

Recalling when it was the last time - I realized it was the first time since then, and I could see the purpose of the group.

Then, he and Teyri's gaze meets. Then, with the warrior Volzak, the fighter Rail, and the blacksmith Alibers as well - in the past, I've made mistakes and caused a lot of trouble, and - in the past, I've failed and caused a lot of trouble - the people from the guild who have patiently watched me grow up all along. All of them were looking at me as I was being 'dragonized'.

In the past, my companions were truly concerned, and if I was struggling even a little bit, they would immediately rush over to me.

But today was different.

Even the time of the ”Dance Competition” was different now.

I could tell just by the expressions on everyone's faces that they were saying, ”From now on, we're going our own way.

However, there was no way Diprakra could notice the difference because of that trust, and he started to speak, focusing only on the man in the lead.

'Oh, you are Elmirad Siddharq?　Why, here: ......

'Yes, this is Elmirad Siddharq. I was actually going to just watch until the commotion died down: ....... Huh. If my fiancé is treated as an 'evil dragon' and then sealed, I can't help but overlook him.

Elmiraad interacted like a stage actor, very overreacting and somewhat false, like a stage actor.

He was full of spare time.

I should have seen through it that he wasn't completely cured, but his fullness of vitality almost overwhelmed me.

After all, not only his supremacy, but also his magical power is overwhelming.

It's different from the frightening and terrifying magic power of The One Who Stole the Reason. It's also different from the brilliant and beautiful magic power of Rastiara and Dia. It's a gusher of magical power that suits the word ”heroic” at first sight, and the word ”strong” suddenly comes to mind.

The Di Prakula raised his voice at that strong enemy.

''That kind of talk can wait!　More importantly, what the hell are you doing here?　I'm listening to that!

Elmirad frowns at the man who speaks from a far higher safety zone, ”Later.” ”More than that,” says Elmirad, frowning at the man who speaks from a far higher safety zone, and quickly speaks up gracefully to continue.

'What?'　As you can see, we're here to explore the labyrinth as a joint guild?　Is there any other business that we need to discuss with you?　After all, if you ask me, today is the last day in the labyrinth. Then, as the guild representing the Confederation, Supreme, it's natural to try to see how far we can go to commemorate the last anniversary. --not a bad event, right?　Haha, it's been a while and my arms are ringing. I haven't done it since I did it with my favorite enemy Kanami. Of course, we're also going to go to the 'deepest' part of the city to lose. Today's the day.

No matter how tense the place is, Elmirad will never be dragged down.

Diprakra complains to the man who continues to speak his mind aloofly.

''No, I won't have your permission!　Now that the Allies are holding a festival in unison, use common sense and make a proposal!

''Even if you call it permission. This labyrinth was signed a long time ago with the story of the common property of the five nations, and the rule is that explorers are allowed to dive in at any time. It was decided that while you were asleep in the 'mainland' world tree. --even a child knows that story.

Both would be hardworking men.

However, unlike Di Prakula, Elmirad is firmly living in the present day. There was a difference between the two.

Normally, whether it was the Church or the 'Senate', even if it was the 'End-Tan Festival', he would not be prevented from exploring the labyrinth. After proving this, he went on to tell them his true purpose.

''Yes, this is the Confederation that gives everyone a chance to challenge the labyrinth ......!　Therefore, our guild, Supreme, is going to respond to the request for help in the ”Search for the Missing Guildmaster” and take on the final labyrinth search!　We haven't forgotten the debt of gratitude we owe to the guildmaster of Epic Seeker, who agreed to help us a year ago.

The search for the missing guildmaster?　If you're not talking about our God, you're not talking about our God: ......!

'Haha, Apostle. The culture and wealth of the people are quite different today (now) than they were a thousand years ago. -- You shouldn't think that anyone would be so passionate about religion and believe in the Revan God. Not only in our guild, Supreme, but many of the people of Lauravia have interacted directly with Kanami. And anyone who has ever spoken a word to her would have thought: ”Oh, he's a good-natured guy. Oh, that man is too good-natured ....... He's too kind and I fear for his future: ....... Someday I'll be crushed and ruined by a sense of responsibility I don't need ....... And.

Relentlessly, he goes on to talk about Kanami's reputation from third parties.

But that was definitely what they would feel when they removed the filters from Kanami, such as 'The Founder of a Thousand Years Ago', 'The Great Hero of the Confederation' and 'The Revan God'.

Elmirad solicited the approval of those impressions.

Not to the apostles in front of him, but to the reserved knights and priests around him.

''Isn't that right?　When you guys saw ”The Dancing Tournament” a year ago, what did he think of it?　Do you remember being flinched by not only your opponent's schoolgirl, but even the hostess?

With a bitter smile, and then to the 'Jewelcrus' who continue to be used as a handmaiden of Diprakra.

I'm sure the Jewelcrusters who have taken care of me should know better. Wasn't it too kind?　Did you really think that was a perfect Lord who didn't need any support?

I'm going to talk about looking at what's inside, not the 'outer skin' of a person.

Kanami is not suited to be a hero, let alone a god, and even the guildmaster is a burden. However, by his nature, he is good at making people expect him to be around. Hence, before the truth is made known that inside, he's just a 'weak person' who is good at acting - Diprakra shouts out.

''-- 《Invisible Ice Room》!　Hold that boy!　The four noble families of Siddharth have abandoned their duty of cooperation with the public!

Scolded by Di Prakula, the trained 'Jewelculus' reflexively tried to focus the 'Invisible Ice Room' on Elmirad.

Furthermore, the wooden giants also hurriedly tried to move their remaining left arm.

Then, he said a word that he was waiting for it.

''--'Demonization''

Elmirade muttered and moved forward further.

The changes caused by 'demonization' increased.

His hair, which had been wavering, grew like a blazing firewood addition. It became longer than his own height and spread out like a lion's mane.

The enlargement of his deformed arms also increased, and fangs, as sharp as mine, grew in his thin, smiling mouth.

It was a rapid growth that seemed to pop with life force.

The biggest change among them is the nature of the magic power it wears.

Majestic, fierce, courageous, and colorful magic power like a rainbow, draws him out - centered on him (・・・・・・).

It was a gravitational force like a star attribute, and it was very similar to the [Star Reason] that Ragne Kaikwola was using. However, I could immediately see that it was something else.

Already, I knew that.

Just a few moments ago I was thinking back to the back of Rustiala Fuzzyaz, who was emitting the same kind of magic power and trying to reach a higher level.

-- the figure of Rastiara that I saw in his last days before I fainted.

Elmirad had also stepped into the same entrance as that white rainbow magic.

And unlike Rastiara, he was not illegal, foul, or single.

He was right, straight and untrue. The magical power of his companions following behind him flowed like a sucker's breath toward Elmirad, who was leading the way.

Each one of them was a different color and nature of magic power, but they all folded and harmonized neatly together, emitting a brilliant and beautiful glow.

With that magic power in tow, Elmirad walked leisurely through the 《Invisible Ice Room》 and looked around, not at the arms of the approaching giant, but at the surroundings.

First of all, he received Diprakra's instructions to look at and evaluate the 'Magic Stone Humans (Jewelculus)' who were maintaining their magic.

''But what poor and lost resonance magic that one is. I'm not sure I'll be able to get a grade as a frontline commander in the Civil War, but I'll give it a fail. ...... Listen to me, Apostle Diprakra. Is there a bond between you and your men?　Are you ready to take on those lives?

He then glared at Diprakra in the safe zone of the giant's abdomen.

Is it as a nobleman's duty?

The movement of the giant's left arm is slow due to its massive body. It's cautious and slow because it's aiming at Elmirado. Nevertheless, the boldness to kindly teach the enemy an improvement in this situation was unusual.

''Resonant magic is sharpened by those who put it together. If one is always trusted, the resonance is more swollen. Above all, if it is a powerful leader, that resonant magic will transcend its limits and change its brilliance--

Elmirado lifted one hand and pointed it at the giant's left fist as it loomed down from far above.

The magic power around him gathered in his deformed arm.

Magic power of all colors and natures mixed together - but never became a complementary color that stagnated in opposition, but was bundled together as a beautiful white rainbow magic power.

As declared, Elmirad's resonant magic was beyond the limit.

Countless blood vessels floated on his deformed arm, and right now, his flesh and blood was about to pop off. The sound of creaking bones and creaking bones reaches my ears.

However, Elmirad looks around at the knights who are surrounding the 'Magic Stone Human (Jewelcrus)' with a cool face to protect it.

''Really, that's a waste of time to watch. After having all these knights of such quality, it's too much of a waste--''

The giant's arm is already swinging down in the form of a piercing hand.

The sky above Elmirad is covered by the giant arm, and in a few moments the whole area will be smashed. And yet, even more so, he takes a deep breath and shouts for the first time, with plenty of time to spare.

''Diprakrak!　An apostle who treats the Confederacy as if it were his own when it has only been sleeping on the 'mainland' for a thousand years!　The giant wooden statue you are now rapidly building and moving dully is very detrimental to the landscape of our Confederacy!　I say kindly, your taste is a thousand years outdated and old-fashioned!

At that abrupt call, the big tree-side diplakra visible to me said, ”Keh, the landscape is old-fashioned ......? I was puzzled, and almost stiffened. But he quickly shook his head and moved the giant, which he called the old-fashioned wooden statue, but Elmirad still continued.

'With that old-fashioned sense!　You have insulted two of the greatest heroes the Confederacy has ever produced.　My fiancée, Snow Walker, is called Fafner, the God Killer!　My rival, Aikawa Kanami, is the god of the Levant!　Not only is it old-fashioned, but it's not polite!　Since I have to describe them as insensitive and crude, I would like to have these four great noblemen instructed in person by the head of House Siddharq!　And!　I would like to impose an honorary levy on anyone who agrees with that claim of mine, of the magical power used in this emergency public service - an honorary levy!

With an overwhelmingly supercilious look, he sarcastically called for help from those around him, saying that it would be boring to watch.

It was the opposite of Diprakra.

The opposite of the apostle who says that all you have to do is watch.

Opposite to the Levantine religion, which says that all you have to do is pray.

The call to the front of the crowd, ”Pay what you ought to pay,” was too aristocratic, too Elmiraad Siddharq-like.

And it must be the influence of the Golden Lion (Revelleo)'s 'demonization'.

I feel that the voice that passes through the battlefield has reached a different register.

If I were to call it that, it would be 'The Lion's Roar'.

It was the first time I had ever seen a race characteristic.

Everyone was struck all over by the roar, and their eyes were drawn to the majestic figure of that never-frightened Elmirado.

Most of the knights were smiling and looking at him fondly.

Even some of the 『Magic Stone Humans (Jewelcrus)』 would expect him to be able to do so.

Those who were dazzled by his majesty would also be deprived of the magic power in their bodies.

The magic power of those who agreed to the tax collection of honor imposed on Elmirad's raised arm was also drawn in further and added to the magic power of the white rainbow.

It was exactly the figure that reminded me of his avenging name from his days at the academy, 'The Hundred Demon King (Overlord)'--

And now the wooden giant's piercing hand reaches the shining arm he raised.

The size difference is even greater than mine, and it's obvious.

The tips of the enemy's fingers, which are too huge, are finally going to be touched - right before they come into contact with each other.

”-- Resonant Magic (・・・・・・・)

It was declared.

A moment later, a flash of light bursts forth.

The flash is not all white, but amazingly colorful.

The dazzle fills my vision. In the midst of it, rainbow-colored rays of light also rush out, as if a brush full of paint is painting the giant's arm.

The name of the magic is ”Magic Arrow”.

It was a magic that could only be declared as such.

After all, that magic arrow was too mixed with a variety of magical powers to be applicable to any of the attributes.

That's why the name that frankly bears 'magic' is the most appropriate.

The light emitted by the ”Magic Arrow” is intense and too colorful.

A normal person can't keep their eyes open.

The only person who can see it directly is me, the 'dragon man'.

I confirmed that the giant's right arm, which was about to touch Elmirade, was neatly drowned out by the overwhelming output of the 《Magic Arrow》.

The tree giant lost both arms and stood still.

It hadn't fallen yet. When I turned my gaze to Elmirad, wondering if he wouldn't chase after it before it was repaired - I noticed.

The battlefield is still filled with flashes of light.

In a space that an ordinary person would not be able to call a vision, Elmirad and my gaze crosses paths.

''............''

----!

Elmirad, who hung his 'Demonization' arm covered in blood from the reckless resonance magic, was giving me a stern look.

He was speaking with his eyes, not with his mouth, against me.

--I dare not chase and leave it behind.

Diprakra, after all, is a front-runner, too.

Forget it, Snow Walker, do your aristocratic duties quickly.

Don't pick an easy enemy to deal with. Go to your own worst enemy.

Leave the ground to Elmiraad Siddharth, and you'll be in charge of the one you love--

He was scolding me, even if without words.

I immediately nodded back, while feeling a little bit complicated, as I realized that it was because he looked at me as one of the noblemen who was equal to him, rather than as someone who had to be taken care of because of his political marriage.

The 《Invisible Ice Room》 has already completely collapsed.

With my fetters completely gone, I leap with all my might along with the red mist I'm wearing, spreading both wings on my back to the fullest extent.

Straight up.

Fuelling the wind with his wings, riding the 'dragon wind' higher and higher.

Pushing back the magic of the white rainbow that filled this battlefield, higher and higher to nowhere--!

--I flew (and) flew.

And here, the enormous and brilliant flash of the Magic Arrow disappears like a fog.

--It was as if a white cloud had broken through, filling my field of vision with blue.

The sky that I arrived at was a brilliant, beautiful, multicolored blue as bright as the white rainbow of the Magic Arrow.

Surrounded by the blue sky (sky blue), I spill out.

''Oh, really .......''

It's nice here.

Blue all the way.

Very fresh.

All 360 degrees, all the way to the horizon.

There's nothing else -- there's nothing else to see.

--I look back and forth from side to side and back and see a variety of fireworks, as if to celebrate my flight.

--The glorious sun above, the brilliant sun, and below, the overflowing confederacy of people celebrating The End of the Tan Festival.

--And now the giants of the labyrinth have been exposed.

When the flashes of light cleared, everyone in the Allied nations would see that the arms of the wooden giant were missing.

They would also have found me flying above the tree giant's head, covered in a red mist.

There was no need for me to fly any higher.
