A Banished Failure Survives in the Borderland and Becomes an S-Rank Exorcist

Though the plan had to be significantly modified, they still had an advantage as traitors. Rather, their job is to use the remaining four, which is the medium, so that raid does not necessarily fail.

But it is also true that things could easily have been carried out during that raid. In that confusion, it would have been easier to leave... and there was no point in doing so. At present, Cyrus and Claudia were in a slight hurry as samples used in the experiment were discovered outside. And in the meantime, Cyrus had a concern.

"But what do you think of Ellie?"

"Ellie? I think you're good, but you're not."

"Oh, I made contact with Julia Curtis. Maybe he noticed."

"... that's not impossible."

We both thought Ellie was the most troublesome opponent. The researcher is not only brilliant, but also keen on conjecture. Even though she is a researcher, she respects her instincts. Such a nature is more troublesome than anything. That's because I try to apply my thoughts to even the slightest discomfort.

"... are you going to kill me?

"We'll have to kill him. Situationally, if they find out here, it's all over. You're going to take a lot of risks, but we have to do it here."

"Who can you blame for what Cyrus did?

Julia Curtis.

"... I'll do it again. Are you trying to finish this all at once?

"That's right. We don't have much time. Even here, the situation is not the worst, but unlimited. It's already a matter of time before we're in a border city. Moreover, Princess Lianne is awakening as a complete saint. If that happens, our identity will be revealed. The game has already been thrown. We have to do it here."

"... that's right. Okay... let's kill Ellie."

I didn't get lost. It's just a reasonable decision. I'll kill you because it's time to. The plan to kill Ellie originally existed. The time to do it is now, that's all.

And in anticipation of what happened after Yulia, who was traveling by the hand of Cyrus, left the border city where Ellie was... they took action.

◇

Ellie, it's Julia.

"Oh, what's wrong?

It's Cyrus dressed up as Julia. I have already mastered Julia Curtis' magic form and unique realm, Personal Field. It was easy for Cyrus today to homogenize the figure exactly like him.

"... eh?

The moment the door opened, she couldn't hold her hair for a moment and pierced her chest with the knife at hand. It's also poisoned with immediate effects, and you're not immune to death when you touch it. And Cyrus smiled and saw Ellie backwards. I don't chase. Because I was already convinced. Already... Ellie is dying.

"... ug, no way... no way... this is happening..."

"Hey, it was a perfect timing. Watch out, watch out."

Yes, Ellie was still feeling it. To Julia's presence and to ourselves behind it. The timing was critical, but it succeeded. Ellie's death is certain. Without a doubt, in a few minutes it will end in death. That was an unforgettable fact.

"Oh no... who?

"Who is Julia? I just saw you the other day."

"That's a lie... it's certainly Julia on the outside. But... the contents are different... uhh, my cheek..."

"Hee... you know. After all, that unique ability, Extra, is dangerous. Looks like you came at the right time."

……

Elemental Sense "Decoding Sense". It is a high level of singularity that perceives magic elements, "Extra." The owners included Ellie and Princess Lianne, but only Ellie was in trouble. When her brilliance is combined with her abilities, it is easy to understand the nature of her opponent.

Cyrus was surprised and relieved that she was discerning her nature. After all... we thought we were lucky.

"Goodbye, Ellie."

The last word was Cyrus'. He didn't think nothing of her. Its ability can be appreciated from the perspective of the Magus. That is why he treats her with the utmost respect. That said, there's nothing emotional about looking at the body.

(dilated pupils, pulse stopped... no doubt, dead)

After confirming Ellie's death, Cyrus left the scene as Julia was. I dare to go slowly to leave the evidence behind.

The plan works. Everything is what we think it is. Cyrus smiles. Everything we're waiting for is on our palms again. That's what he thought, but he didn't notice. To the magic she last activated. Located at the top of the magic, it still only has Ellie. Nor has she revealed this to anyone.

Sacramento, the secret of the curse.

The magic is causing their plans to collapse considerably. Not yet, not even Cyrus... no one knew.
