"Sherry, Sofia, and the kids are okay?

"Eh... something. But they were the only ones I could protect....."

That's what Shelley said with a sad voice. Sofia also lowered her gaze and looked sad. There must have been a life that neither of them could protect. But it's the same with me. I've also saved a lot of lives from this.

Both of them are trembling. That will be the case. No one is accustomed to such a sight. We at the heart of the screaming hell had no choice but to be beaten.

Even in such a situation, you must proceed as a Premium vs. Mage.

And I entrusted Sherry, Sofia, and the other wizards to send the children to the royal castle. Besides, they were not only trembling at the situation, but felt more frightened than anything else. Maybe there's something I can't get into...

"Senpai, what are you going to do now? And the anti-magic army isn't working?

"The army seems to be on the move, but this time it's the worst. The situation is too confusing for proper leadership. Besides, we can't expect to fight in the city. It takes time to function properly... we have to lead the way somehow..."

Against the Magic Army. It is an organization where the Antimagic Academy conducts actual battles against training institutions and the Antimagic Army conducts actual battles against trained anti-magicians. But in this case, it was a reality that the raid was too abrupt and this chaotic situation did not work right away. Because it's the first time in 150 years of history. Besides, it hasn't been long since the raid started. Even so, it will take time for the army to function properly... but we have to do what we can...

"Senpai... I think this is my chance to go outside."

"... if we get out of here, the front line might collapse. It would be better if the army was a little more ready."

"Still, if it stays this way, I'm poor."

"If it doesn't collapse, the dead will come out. Sure."

"We have to be prepared. If you stay like this, you'll die even more. If you don't get out here, the situation will get worse and worse. Fortunately, we have already identified the approximate location."

"I have to go..."

"Worst case, I don't mind being alone."

"Are you okay?

"I can't say it's 100 percent okay. There is also a risk of death. However, as the current battle force, there is no doubt that I am best suited. [M] I think Senpai has a lot of time to fight in the evening, but I think I'm still used to it in time...."

"Can I leave it to you?

"Yes"

"Okay. I'll take the lead in the city. That's why, Julia... I begged you."

"... okay."

Prepare. I decided to go to the outside world by myself, at dusk. I'm used to one. I'm used to it... but my hands were shaking. [M] We will go to that dusk alone again. When it comes to not being afraid... it's a lie. I know better than anyone the fear of that world. [M] Besides, this case is quite special. I may be more likely to die... but if I don't go, the situation will get worse. So let's go. I decided to go ahead to help everyone. [M]

"Julia...."

"Sherry, and Sofia."

As we speak, two people approach us. It was Shelley who spoke. Sofia, on the other hand, is staring down.

Sherry, Sofia, I'm coming.

"Where are you going?

"At dusk. The culprit is outside. If you don't hit your mother, this situation won't end. So I'm going."

Are you going alone?

"You can't go anywhere but me. If you could follow me, Senpai would be the only one... with the strength to defend the city. I'm alone."

"... that's not true. Me too....."

"No, Shelly. We're feet and hands tight... that hurt, right?

"... yes, that's right. Sofia's right. We were helpless and couldn't do anything....."

The allegation was correct. If Sofia hadn't told me, I would have told you. They were both pretty strong, and they killed a lot of monsters in this case, but they're still fighting in the dusk... and we can't take them in the danger zone.

Both of you acknowledge it and stare at me.

"Julia, I believe you. He said he'd come back."

Okay, Shelly.

"... Julia, I... Julia was forced to become a superior versus magician because of me... I'm sorry, I'm sorry... my own selfish fault..."

"... Sofia. I must have become a Premium vs. Mage. It just got faster. Thanks to that, I can stay here... and fight for someone. I can prove that the days of dusk are not in vain."

"Julia...."

Sofia was crying. There must be a lot of things going on with her. But... we'll talk about it when we get back.

"Senpai, I'm coming. I'll take care of the rest."

"... leave it to me. Julia, don't die."

"... yes"

And I was going to jump out of the fortress city. [M] But the situation will be worse. Yes, because... the monster that seems to be the mother has already entered the city... stunned. I don't know what it means...

"Hmm... right...?

"Lie, what is that..."

"This kind of thing...."

"Yulia, you don't have to go out anymore...."

"Yes... that's right..."

I was ready to go outside... at dusk. That said, they had already entered the city. Break the outer wall and attract another monster... All I have to do is say this is bad... I didn't realize. I thought you were still out there. My twilight sight certainly felt its presence far away.

Why? Why didn't you notice how close you were? If you're spreading so much magic, you should have noticed. Why didn't I notice? That presence is not far away now. It was as if it had moved in an instant.

Speaking of which, I think Dan said this at the end.

"It's too late..." At that time, I didn't care because I thought it was just a false statement. But is that what that word was about?

"This guy...."

Besides, I've seen him before. Shortly before we arrived at the village of Auga in the Far East, we encountered a fairly dark evening. This individual was at the center of it. It's not the giant spider Fusion Spider. Indeed... the ancient spider Ancient Spider. When I returned to the fortress city, I gathered information about the demons and monsters, even though I was encouraging myself to study every day.

Among them, it was loading a book that summarized the demons that existed 150 years ago. Among the books I read was an ancient spider called Ancient Spider. It is said that the body length is superior to 10 meters and has an unusual healing function. And it's definitely the best S-rank monster. At first glance, I understood the strength that could not reach my feet, such as Dan who fought earlier.

"Is he... is he the culprit?

But it doesn't fall into my heart. Is this really what this is all about? Certainly the monsters in the city are being fortified by this one. This is the same individual who is in charge. But I can't explain Dan's case, or the fact that other Premium Warlock people are trapped. Was Dan a pimp? Maybe it's just a piece of token... prepared to stop me.

There's someone behind it... I can't help thinking about it. Humans, or fairly high-ranking demons. I was beginning to think that there was no doubt that intelligent things were responsible. [M]

"Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

A roar. It was a tremendous pressure enough to shake the earth.

"... giggle!!

"Yikes!!

"What a voice!!

"... this sucks!!!!

Instantly, the burning pain runs on the engraving of the right arm. When I turned my sleeve, there was a red glowing stamp on it. [M] Is it resonating...? This ancient spider, Ancient Spider? I'm improving my abilities... I had that feeling. A burning sensation from the bottom of your body. It's difficult to describe, but if you say so, it was like that.

"Senpai, Shelly, Sofia. Can I have that fish, please? I'll do it alone."

"That's so rude!! There's no way we can fight a monster like that!

"Shelly, that's not the problem. Someone has to go. And we have to deal with that massive amount of fish. Definitely more dead. That's why I want to keep my strength. Besides, I was supposed to go alone. Nothing will change."

"... no."

"Senpai, and Sofia, you know they're cool, right? What I'm saying."

"... yeah"

"... that's right. That's the most sensible thing to do."

Questions that do not say whether or not. Both of us understood that. Then I have no choice but to respond to it.

"... then I'll go. I managed to secure it near the entrance, so please dispose of the leaking fish."

Place a knife in both hands and activate Invisible Blade, an invisible sword. From here on out, it's a game of time. If we don't finish this quickly, more people may die in the First Castle City.

Running through the earth, and... I came to the last battle alone as the hope of mankind.
