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

Everything is ready. And they took action. First, gather the Premium Warlock in one place, and then bullet Julia. Fold it there and guide it. It was probably assumed by both of us that the opinions of the superior versus the magician would be divided.

Then Cyrus called an emergency call and everyone gathered in the conference room as before.

"Well, gentlemen of the Premium Warlock. Thank you for accepting my sudden summons. In addition, in the case of the boundary of the example, the analysis has already been completed. It's magic that was used hundreds of years ago, but it takes a lot of time to activate. Yes... time in years. The amount of magic is the same, but it is still quite difficult to construct the magic form. There is already a way to counter it. So, this time, we've been gathered again... but that's not the point."

It's all very likely, but everything we did was ourselves. Cyrus continued his words while concealing the fact.

"... Premium vs. Wizard, Ellie, 10th in the line, has been killed. Cause of death was hemorrhagic shock. No signs of resistance, a stab in the heart. He died a few minutes later. It's now being autopsied for further cause of death."

"Nh...!!?

Everyone gets stunned. Claudia also holds her hand to her mouth with an incredible expression, which is an act. She's sharing information with Cyrus, so I know she already killed Ellie.

"Julia... you're a suspect in Ellie's murder. The time of Ellie's entry into the lab and the time of his murder. Besides, other researchers are looking at you... Can you tell me what you're talking about?

"... eh?

Julia has a poke-like expression. That should be it. He was moving around in the evening at the time of the incident. It's only natural that people say things they don't know at all, and they don't know why.

"I was traveling dusk at the estimated time of the murder! I have an alibi!

"You think Sherry Ames will prove it?

"... yes."

"What if she's an accomplice?

……

"The time between killing Ellie and moving to the next border city. Would you be able to get serious? So the terms are clear. And above all, there was a trace of your magic in the field. [M] This is definite information."

……

I already know what the other person is saying. All you have to do is have the conversation as expected. And here comes the spear from Claudia, but it was all done by being disbanded.

"Hey, Cyrus. Isn't that strange? A traitor who has never let us catch his tail makes such a simple mistake? It's too bad to have witnesses, even if you kill them. And even if I did kill Ellie, I don't think I'd come all the way to this rally."

"There may have been circumstances that could not be stopped. Ellie's area of expertise is dusk research. Perhaps she had to act suddenly knowing that she had something true. Besides, he was in the dusk for two years. It's no wonder you're working for the Demons. In the meantime, we need to hear whether he's the killer or not. Julia, I'd like you to be honest with me... if I resist, I'll be in trouble. I'll take you into custody. That's why I called the other Premium Warlock. I don't know what kind of power you have."

This exchange was originally thought of by the two of us. A ploy to secure Julia's pursuit. Now, how does the situation work from here... when I think about it, it was the person who stood up as expected.

"... I won't let you do it. Julia... I won't let you take me."

"Why, Mr. Bell?

"Julia... run away. The situation is worse... it's perfectly trapped. Besides, if you get caught here... the situation will be jammed. Because you're my last hope... but if I still find Lianne-sama... I can handle it..."

"... should I find Princess Lianne? But...."

"Yeah... I'll stop you here... and run..."

Bell was supposed to come. After years of working with Princess Lianne, she was also good at intelligence, and Cyrus and Claudia thought it was only a matter of time before the identity of the traitor was discovered. Again, this is just intuition, but perhaps... Princess Lianne is awakened as a saint. I can only conclude that there is one strange magic element in this city that I felt stupid.

And she'll be on her way to the boxyard. The magic that leaks out of there will not be completely blocked. That's why I predicted that the saintly princess would be headed there...

But that was convenient. More important than revealing secrets is the release of the Cephalotto Tree. I don't care about pretending anymore. It will be the end of the day to be in this city. It ends with success at the end of the day... we can't afford to fail here.

And Yulia stepped out of the room with Belle's support. I don't chase. Probably where he's headed, too. Rendezvous with Sherry and chase the princess. In other words, the three will go to the boxyard. All you have to do is take Eira, one of the others, to that place, and we're done.

(Claudia, as scheduled)

(Ok....)

Claudia triggers a metastasis when she only interacts with her gaze. Cyrus left as soon as the battle between the Premium vs. Mages began. You will be fighting with the rest of the team, but Claudia will be timing it as if she were seriously fighting.

(I wonder if it's time....)

The battle was already at its best... but it was only now in time. And when she gathers a lot of magic around her, she still activates magic.

"--World Shrinkage" Picnosis "

At the same time as I uttered that word, everyone on the scene was swallowed by a magical formation that appeared on the ground. And she set the humans to fly out of the dusk and the demonic blood to fly in front of the boxyard. This task is relatively easy because it only divides the inherent area, "Personal Field"... but the problem is the magic used to shrink the world, "Picnosis". You don't need much to open it, but the amount of magic in the metastasis is unusual. That's why Yulia, Sherry, and Ella compensate for the magic. If you build a path with the magic elements you took from them, everyone will be hit on the ground.

"Well, you've got all the actors. Cyrus, can you hold him?

Ah.

Look at the members who are here and be sure. It'll work. If you give it this far, there's nothing to be afraid of anymore. There's nothing to be afraid of. It succeeded... I will get to the truth of this world. Then we reach that blue sky... and Claudia is ready.

Claire came along the way, but it didn't matter. Not so much as twins, so it would be nice to see each other again at the end of the day. I was thinking about it that way. And Claudia opens. To get to the truth of this world... through the intermediation of four people, to open the doors of the world...

"... I opened it, but what is this?

A pure white world before your eyes. The bright red substance behind it. It's probably a kind of relic, but it's strange. What is the cephalotto tree "Tree"? Sirus, Claudia, and Claire were so distracted by the creepy stuff that they didn't notice. To the anomalies that are happening inside Julia. It was undoubtedly weird. I don't know Claudia. I have no idea that he will wake up in this last resort.

It's Ellie's legacy. Sacramento, the secret curse that liberates Julia. They were proud. I never thought that there were more magical users on the human side than we were. I am the ultimate being of some kind. The idea led to this situation. And then... it was Julia Curtis, who woke up as a complete individual.

"What... what... what..."

Claudia was blinded by the strange presence in front of her. Even thoughts were taken away. I've never seen such an individual. Even the Magus doesn't exist that much.

Fear.

I was purely afraid. You think it's the same as you? Is that the true individual he wanted? Information is complicated in the brain. I don't have any serious thoughts already. I just searched. I kept searching for answers that I couldn't find. But they won't find us. Because Julia has already become an unknown being.

"Claudia!! It's a complete individual! Back off!!

Cyrus walks out to cover Claudia's nervous head. At that moment, the left arm is bounced off. I couldn't feel it at all. When I realized it, Cyrus's arm was waiting for the universe.

"... why... why... why..."

I don't understand the meaning. Was it so long ago, or was it the Doctor's ideal... then I... what was the existence of an individual named Claudia... all in the process of reaching him? She was losing her sense of existence. That's just denial. I am just a defect and he is the finished product. I see... for what... she was shocked enough to think so.

"Claudia! How are you recovering the Cephalotto Tree?!

"It's over... somehow..."

"All right, I'm leaving. The target of the complete individual has some broken bones. Claire, can I take care of this?

"Okay, you two can leave. Oniichan's opponent is mine ~"

I don't mind killing anymore.

"Fufu, I hope you can do it. It might be a bit harsh ~"

"Worst case scenario... you know?

"Hmm? Ah... yes. I know."

Well, I did.

I'm leaving. I was relieved to hear the words, relieved. Don't look at that existence in the eye. I'm going crazy. That's what she thought. No, she saw it. It's a coincidence. I just got into sight. But her eyes looked directly at Lianne's shining eyes.

"Kiaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

Hot. Hot. Hot. Hot. Hot. Hot. Hot. Hot. Hot. Hot. Hot. Hot. Hot. Hot. Hot. Hot. Hot. Hot.

You can't lose your sight while trying to hold your eyes down. A scarlet line connected her. It's about being peeked at. The moment she realizes it, she forces herself out of sight if she doesn't unconsciously take the information. The feeling that your eyeballs are about to tear off, and even the burning sensation in your brain. The pain was unbearable to ordinary people, but Claudia managed to escape the curse of Lianne.

"Uhh... hah... hah... hah..."

The last thing she saw was Lianne falling on the spot and Julia approaching it. They took it, but it's not everything. It's not over yet. Definitely accomplished, no matter what's ahead... while thinking about it, Claudia's memory ends there.

◇

"That's it. I told you all about her memories that I saw."

……

……

Me and Mr Bell heard everything about Princess Lianne. It's hard to believe in Russia, but I'm like Claudia... And she seems to be acting to expose the world. While it is true that the purpose is personal freedom, it does not justify killing many people. I hold my fist again. [M] We have to finish this. Absolutely... absolutely.

"Yulia-san, I think it will take a few days to convene again. Probably about the future. Until then, think hard."

"... thank you."

Princess Lianne thinks of me or tells me that. [M] Certainly understandable as facts. I can see that what she is saying is not a lie. Still, I was shaken by this fact. [M] The magicians hate each other, but they're losing their existence. Do I deserve to protect humanity like this? Man and Magus, creatures that combine these two traits. That's me. What should I do now? [M] And what's going to happen...

"... I'm so sorry."

"Yes"

"Julia-kun... see you later..."

I bowed politely to both of them and left the ward. [M] Waiting ahead is an even harsher battlefield. I have to be more prepared to face it. [M] And about myself... I guess I need to face it. I've run away before, but I still face it... it's about the past.

But now is the time to confront yourself. Strictly speaking, I'm not a human being... but I guess that's something. Not as a component, but as a way of being, I want to choose people, not magicians.

Claire chose the Magus, and I chose the human. As the way it exists. But why... why are we so... played by fate?

This world is ugly. The world is full of tragedies and mourning, and dusk, to the point where you want to mourn and cry. Certainly weak predators are the way this world is and the truth is. But I... I don't just want to bully and ravage others, but someday... I want to build a peaceful world under the blue sky. I thought so. Even though this is all that has happened, I set out such an ideal. But what is there in a world without ideals? I can't decide on my own way of life, and I can't decide on the end of the world.

Let's move on. I'm just moving on. Beyond the hundreds of millions of corpses, I cast the blue sky into this world.

Again, I swore...
