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

The operation has begun. Our first platoon was headed for the location by hitting the target's underground facility. I felt it weighed more than usual today when I wore a military uniform with a dark blue tone and a steel rim.

Prior to the start of the operation, the First Platoon was all nervous. No, I do feel that Noah was as calm as usual, but whether she was drinking the atmosphere of the field by the boulders or reading the air, it just stuck quietly next to senpai.

Then, our First Platoon will proceed to Level 3 in the Twilight Hazard Zone. The journey from base one to there. The more it progresses as usual, the darker it gets. The surrounding trees were also invaded by dusk or dyed in purple and black, stretching their branches into this red and black sky.

Even in this world, grass and trees grow. Plants are invaded at dusk, but they do live in this world even though they are deformed. Looking at them sideways, they reached their target location.

The topography of this area is fully known. There must be an enormous underground facility beneath the amount of magic elements. Our platoon will continue its journey to the underground facility. We looked into this place beforehand, and we had a rough idea of the entrance. When I find the spot in Twilight Site, I tell Bell next door. [M]

"Yes, Mr. Bell. Here it is."

"... definitely."

Then I'll take the lead, and Belle will follow me behind it... I wasn't the only one who felt the anti-magician here. There is no need for Extra, the peculiar ability of the sensory system. Yes, you can feel it needlessly, with a manifest desire for hostility.

Literally, killer. But the intent to kill is not in our platoon. It was focused on just one person.

"... everyone!! Go!! Hurry!!

Unusual, no, I'm glad to hear Bell shout for the first time. [M]

--Mr. Bell, are you...?

"Julia, I'm sorry. I... asked everybody. I'll... I'll stop here."

"Mr. Bell... if you destroy the target, I'll come back for you."

"Yeah... but before that, I'll kill him... so don't worry..."

"... I see. Good luck."

For a moment, while I was at it, I got lost. Shouldn't we cover the boulders here? Even so, I saw and understood Mr. Bell's burning eyes. She is willing to stand alone. Anyway, if we're going to do this, somebody has to stop and somebody has to move on.

Perhaps the Magus, who was spreading his murder, understood it and lured Belle out. All I want is a ride. I'm just saying that other human lives are not necessary.

The opponent's Magus is probably the top Magus. Some of the Magus have jumped through and have a high level of combat power. It has never been possible for a human being to strike as one. Perhaps Claire, my sister, was one of them, but this time it was a completely different individual. The overflowing killer air and the magic emitted unusual pressure. It feels like you're wearing a coat with a mixture of lethality and magic elements stacked on top of each other.

To be clear, it's creepy. That Claire wasn't like this either. Above all, the power of the opponent cannot be measured by just killing air and magic. Still, I was worried. The fact that Mr. Bell stands alone against the top magicians.

"Julia, are you worried?

"Senpai...."

Mr. Bell left and Senpai came next to me instead. [M] I can't leave it to the vanguard, but I can direct it. When it came to a pattern like this, it was decided to do so beforehand. I'll leave the rear to Noah and the other First Class Warriors. Noah's strength seems to have already been recognized by senpai.

"That's the top magician... but there's no guarantee that Bell will win. But if I join in..."

"But if you do, this platoon will collapse at once. Julia will have to cut through the front lines. Because that's how it's structured. You understand, right?

"Yes... that's right. I believe in Mr. Bell. She's the most powerful swordsman in the world."

"That's right. It's impossible for Bell to lose. Bell has always won. Same thing today."

"... yes"

By talking to senpai, I was able to calm my mind. [M] Yes, I'm afraid you're saying you don't trust Bell. I believe you. I'm sure she can beat the Magus. The mightiest swordsman in mankind cannot be defeated. Then now we should concentrate on the operation at hand.

"... that's strange."

"What happened, Julia?

"No... I can't see down there."

"But since the lights are on, isn't it okay?

"... Twilight Site doesn't respond to the twilight eye. I don't have any traces of magic now. You're doing it deliberately... no, you're inviting me? Do you know what I'm capable of? Even if I knew it, the information... I don't think so... is the Magus involved?

There are too many possibilities in the brain. Why did the Magus come in the first place? You knew what we were doing to sniper Mr. Bell? The ancient scorpion Ancient Scorpion was intelligent and able to have a conversation. That means behind it... is there a Magus behind it?

"Yulia, what do we do now?"

Senpai's words were cut off on the way.

"... collapse!?

I've been hit. Looks like it fits perfectly. The ground begins to collapse, and as it is, our First Platoon humans are dropped further down the hierarchy with rubble. Of course, that's not going to kill you. Everyone here is experienced in combat. In the unlikely event that something happens, we have a member who can be sure to prepare for it.

As we were dropped further underground, there was a large space. It was just a big space, but I felt like I was pointing to Twilight Site. Definitely. This unique region, Personal Field, and the magic form belong to the familiar Scorpion. But it's too heterogeneous and big. And the ancient scorpion "Ancient Scorpion", which represents the appearance in front of the eyes, thought that there was a huge earth sound.

The whole thing was dyed in purple and black, and its huge tail stood up with a momentum that could reach the heavens. Behind them are Zorosolo and his men, as well as the ordinary Scorpion. We entered the battle immediately or unexpectedly did not enter the battle immediately.

Welcome, human beings.

The voice to say so is as low as ever. Probably not the vocal organs of an organism.

"... you're the one who built the village of Elves."

"... that's right. But that would be right. The weak are oppressed by the mighty. Do you know that better than anyone? It's Julia Curtis."

"... you seem to be connected to the Magus."

Sure. But it doesn't matter now. The moment you enter this realm, your defeat is inevitable. Let's start the banquet. "

In a moment, all the lights disappear.

- Oh, no!

I will immediately increase the output of Twilight Site to understand the surrounding situation. Of course, the Warlock here is trained to fight in the dark. It is due to its peculiar ability, Extra, but we do not predict a battle in this situation with boulders. I wondered if the other wizards would be okay...

I heard someone. [M]

"--- Pseudo-permanent engine" Peacey "

For a moment, this scene is wrapped in dazzling light.

I've never seen this before, but this is Perpetual Motion of Code.

The theory that uncovered one of the three major dilemmas at the heart of Noah Bairschmidt: permanent institutions. This is the PMC theory.

In this way we will know. The realm of genius, the very essence of magic.

"... come on, let's dance with me"

Is that smile an angel or a demon... or...?
