"What is that?"

Leila murmured.

"I've never heard of such a giant shadow coming out of here."

Run, Leila.

Almark shouted sharply.

"That's not a test for the academy. They're really going to kill you."

"You know what that is."

"I don't know"

Almark answers without turning a blind eye to the huge shadow.

"But I know it's my prey."

"What do you mean?"

"Sorry, I can't afford to answer your questions for a while."

Almark kicked the floor of the cave.

The head of the Shadow was just showing up on the third floor from the stairs.

Almark waved Mars' wand.

The cane cuts through the sky.

I certainly caught the head of the Shadow, but I can't help it.

At that moment, Almark jumped back.

The right hand of the Shadow was stretching to grab Almark's body.

"Chi."

Unlike ordinary demon shadows, Mars' wand strikes don't seem to work.

You can only use magic.

Damn, that's why I hate people who don't have swords.

My father's bitter, crushed face peeled over his brain.

The sword doesn't work. Don't fight him.

I don't have any trouble.

I'm sorry, Dad. That's not how it works.

At that time, lightning ran from behind Almark.

The body of the demon shadow is wrapped in electric light for a moment, and the figure of the demon shadow is shaken.

"Leila"

Almark shouted without turning around.

I told you to get out of here.

"You say that."

Leila's voice settled unexpectedly.

"There's no way you can stand alone against something like that. You have to rely on people."

I am struck by the words.

I'm sure you're right.

Almark laughs bitterly as he remembers the words of Wendy and Morgan.

"But don't be reckless. I'll take the vanguard."

I'll take care of it.

Leila said.

"This is a great opportunity for me to try my power."

"That's..."

To say that his thoughts were too sweet, Almark leaned over.

The Shadow's arm was targeting Almark at an unexpected speed.

Unlike the hall where we fought Eldane, this is a narrow passage. Doesn't take full advantage of Almark's agility.

Leila's lightning ran again from behind Almark.

The shadow flickers for a moment.

Is it working or not?

I can't make a decision.

"Leila, run. Distance."

Almark screamed.

Almark can apply magic to Mars' wand.

The magic swirls in my wand.

The magic of the cave is so enormous that both Almark and Leila are about to steam away.

Get me out of here.

The magic is screaming.

Come on, let's go.

Please, Mars' wand.

Almark waves his wand while praying in the middle.

A flame broke out from the tip of the cane.

"The Art of Flames"

Leila raised her voice.

"When did it come into use?"

All right, well tuned.

The magical shadow of the flame sways again.

However, there is no change in the slow movement.

Is it working or not?

Almark and Leila ran in the direction they came from the aisle.

The Shadow is coming after us from behind, blocking the entire passage.

The movement is slow, but only the arm moves strangely quickly from time to time.

That's funny.

Leila says.

"The door to go home doesn't show up. I've been running so long."

I knew it.

Almark thinks so.

I was with Eldane when I fought him.

Perhaps this place is already in the circle of dark traps.

Maybe we can't get out until we take him down.

Almark shouts to Leila.

"I'm sorry I got involved."

"Yes."

Leila's voice was only calm.

Well, that would be quick.

Leila turned to the Shadow.

"There was magic I wanted to try."

Almark also stopped using the product.

Leila's long hair fluffs for an instant.

The wand glowed dangerously.

After a moment.

Intense light.

A huge band of light was emitted from Leila's wand, literally splitting the shadow in two.

"Wow."

Almark unwittingly leaked a murmur of admiration.

It looked as magical as the dragon's flame or more powerful.

The body of the Shadow was torn to the left and right, and fell to the ground.

I did it.

Almark raised her voice and Leila smiled unexpectedly.

Did you take him down?

But the ominous sounds of the earth quickly cloud the smile.

"What is this sound?"

Leila, get away from me.

Almark took Leila's arm and ran.

The shadow that was supposed to have collapsed rose.

A lot of shadows fall from the ripped incision.

"It's producing a shadow...!

Leila looked back and moaned.

The shadows produced approached the two of them even faster than Al Mark's.

"I'll burn it down. You run."

That's how Almark looks back at the Shadow.

Do it again.

Shake the wand with remembrance.

A small flame came out of the wand, knocking down the shadow that was approaching in front of Almark.

Ah...

The truth is, I was going to burn out all the shadows that were coming before me.

I squeezed too much. Adjustment failed.

Still not stable.

Throw it away, and Almark shakes his wand straight away.

The normal shadows produced could be wiped out by the impact of Mars' wand.

But in the meantime, a huge shadow was approaching.

As we continue to advance, we continue to create shadows of ordinary size.

When Almark knocked out the shadows of the three bodies with a flowing motion, he turned around and ran.

I'll catch up with Leila immediately.

Leila's breath was starting to rise.

It's not impossible.

Almost all this time, I've managed to overcome the challenge by magic alone. And that big magic.

I'm surprised you still have the strength to run.

"Leila, I'll stop it. Make some distance between them."

Almark stopped and turned around.

"I can't tell if I'm just running away. We need to figure out how to take him down."

Leila shouts to Almark.

"I think as I move. You take your distance and think carefully. [M] Let's combine wisdom."

Almark stepped in and shook his staff.

A flame spreading across the corridor burns out the shadows that are approaching.

"Now it worked."

As he said, Almark stepped further.

Mars' wand flashed twice.

The Shadows play and fly.

There was a huge shadow of hands approaching.

Almark jumps out and dodges it.

I feel absolutely terrible to be touched by that hand.

Almark, be careful.

Leila screams.

"Don't be rude to me."

"Thank you."

Almark screamed back.

"It's all right. I won't be in this mess."

The huge magic shadow slowly but surely approaches Almark.

From the rift of his body, a new demonic shadow falls out of thin air.

Nevertheless, I'm not alone.

Almark looks back.

Leila stopped quite a distance and moaned with her hands on her lap.

Good, I've taken a lot of distance.

It was such a reassuring moment for Almark.

Leila!

Almark screamed.

Leila glanced at the side.

Leila, who had stopped moving, was about to be attacked by a shadow that appeared to seep out of the wall.

"Ku"

Barely dodged herself, Leila waved her wand.

The shadow of the electric shock scatters.

Are the rules still alive?

Almark shook out his wand and scattered two shadows simultaneously.

In front of the stairs going down to the fourth floor, the rules were no longer applied, so I was alarmed.

"Leila, take your time. Walk."

While saying so, Almark retreated.

Thanks to Mars' wand, magic is not worn out much in terms of power and number of times.

But as it stands, it will be crushed before the seemingly infinite shadow.

At that time, Almark saw it.

The shadow that came out of the side of the aisle disappeared so that it could be sucked into the body of a giant shadow.

"Absorbing"

Almark screamed.

Leila, he's absorbing the normal shadow.

Speaking of which, the giant demon shadow appeared to enlarge the body even though it was blurry and spilling.

The shadows that appear from the walls are being absorbed one after the other.

"Shit, I don't have time for this."

Almark moans.

How to defeat it.

Yes, you're absorbing it.

I heard Leila's calm voice from behind.

"Then the answer must be number three."

Huh?

Unexpectedly, Almark turned to Leila.

Almark, come to me.

Leila walked backwards from the shadow, inviting Almark.
