All the black snakes were cut off, and the shadow could not sustain the giant body and was beginning to collapse.

Almark ran away from the Shadow and towards Leila.

"Leila, are you okay?"

Leila had a pale face with all her magic and still looked at Almark and smiled.

"You're going to chop everything off."

"Because you taught me."

Almark turned to the Shadow again.

The giant body no longer had a shadow to see, and there were countless magical shadows in it.

"Clean up"

Almark can reintroduce magic into his wand.

Burn it down.

The magic is screaming.

Yeah, that's right.

Almark nodded in a magical voice.

You're right. Let's burn it out.

When Almark waved his staff, a huge flame wall crawled over the ground and ran to the Shadows.

"And magic."

Leila opened her eyes.

It's not my power.

Maybe this is the power of a cane.

Don't overestimate the power of your staff as your own.

I remember the words of Ilumis.

Certainly, this is going to be a mistake.

Wrapped in flames, the Shadows vanish.

You did it.

Almark nods to Leila's voice.

"Thank you, thanks to you."

An incredible sight jumped into Almark's eyes as he turned around and said so.

A giant magic shadow hand that slipped through the wall.

It was already on Leila's back.

"Leila!!"

Almark held Leila with his arms extended and jumped back.

The Shadow's hands traced Almark's back.

Hands without substance. However, it tears apart Almark's soul.

They take away their souls.

Almark realized that instantly.

Dark Shadow.

Stealing is not magic.

Soul.

From his previous experience of being robbed of his soul in the library, Almark quickly put magic into his soul.

I didn't know, but I tried to protect my soul.

From his experience and wildness, Almark subconsciously applied something like a very primitive protective technique to his soul.

It barely saved Almark's life.

Almark desperately stopped his consciousness from moving away rapidly.

Are you still coming? That hand.

We have to stop it.

"Almark!!"

Leila screamed sadly in Almark's arms.

In the corner of Almark's vision, the Shadow's hand brings the sickle head again.

Almark squeezed his strength and pointed Mars' wand at his hand.

Get out of here.

The flames burn in the hands of the Shadow.

Along with that, he disappeared so that all the shadows melted.

Was it the last evil revelation of the dark trap?

Almark lowered his staff.

A moment of relaxation.

Almark's body had stopped moving.

It collapses on the spot.

The body and soul are out of line.

I felt it.

Because I was about to lose my soul.

Your body is running away from the heat.

Almark, come on.

Soon Leila was holding Almark in her arms and screaming.

I'm glad Leila's okay.

I think Almark is blurry.

Oh, what should I do?

Leila murmured.

Almark, don't die.

I've never seen Leila wandering around like that.

I'll be fine. I won't die.

Almark wanted to answer, but his body didn't move at all.

"Almark"

Leila's voice gradually faded away.

I told you not to leave me alone.

That's right.

I said I wouldn't leave you alone.

I'm sorry. That's not a proposal.

But that's what I really thought. I said I shouldn't leave you alone.

The mercenaries of the North keep their promises.

Father, give me strength.

I am no longer a mercenary, but I can keep my promise.

Almark's consciousness became cloudy.

Don't do it.

Your soul leaves.

I suddenly felt the warm light.

The fever returns to Almark's body.

Almark opened his eyes.

There was Leila's pale face in front of her.

Tears are falling out of your eyes indefinitely.

Leila's hand was emitting a gentle light.

This is it.

Almark knew it by his senses.

This light saved me.

"Almark"

Leila called out her name in a faint voice.

"Leila"

Almark put his weight to his right hand.

It moves.

Almark raised his right hand and gently wiped the tears flowing through Leila's cheeks.

"Thank you. You saved my life."

"I'm sorry, I'm sure you shouldn't use cures like this."

Leila closed her eyes. Tears pour out again.

"I didn't know what else to do."

Tears fell down on Almark's face.

Warm.

Almark thought.

"You saved my life."

Leila shook her head at the words.

"I should have done better."

Almark woke up slowly.

"I have to go to sleep."

"It's okay."

With that, Almark stood up.

I didn't get injured. When the soul returned, the body moved without problems.

"Are you sure that's enough?

Leila looked up at Almark with her bright red eyes.

"Yeah."

I made the girl cry again.

My chest aches with regret.

"It's okay. I'm not hurt."

That's what Almark said, and he bent over cheerfully.

"Good."

Leila wipes her own tears.

"Tough. You are."

"Yeah."

Almark nodded.

That's the deal.

Leila finally laughed a little at the words.

"But it looks like it's over."

That's what Almark said and looked around the aisle.

The magic shadow was no longer shadow or shape.

Let's go home, Leila.

Almark reached out to Leila, sitting still.

Leila took her hand and stood up, flirting.

"Magic."

Almark gently lifted up his body, embarrassing him.

"Hey."

Leila raised her voice in protest.

Put it down.

"You can't walk, right? It's my fault I let you use your cure."

"That's why"

"Let's get out of the cave."

That's how I start walking right away.

"... until we get out."

Leila said that in a small voice before leaving her body with Almark.

When I left the cave, it was already evening outside.

"It was morning when I came."

Almark shouted in surprise and walked along the edge of the fountain, holding Leila in his arms.

Hey, put it down.

Leila shouted in a hurry.

He's already out of the cave.

I'll take you to that stone.

When Almark said that gently, but in a tone of silence, Leila

"If someone sees this place, I can't stay in college anymore."

and murmured.

"Why? I can't walk, so I can't help it."

Hey, you.

Leila tried to say something, but shook her head in Almark's chest as if she had given up.

Fine. I will obey you today. "

Almark briefly explained Mars' wand and dark trap to Leila along the path of the forest.

"... yes"

Leila nods.

"That's what happened."

"Yeah, so I have to report this to my teacher tomorrow. Leila, I'm sorry, but I have to tell you something."

If you do that, you'll discover that you entered the fountain cave without permission.

I can't help it.

Leila said with an unexpected good-bye look.

I'll go with the report.

Huh?

When Almark unexpectedly looked at Leila's face, Leila nodded.

"It's true that you broke the rules. Besides, it's faster to talk."

Thank you, Leila.

As Almark smiled, Leila turned away as if she were illuminated.

Lowering Leila in front of a stone with a blue crest, Leila looks sorry.

"I'm sorry, this stone magic can't be carried by anyone but me."

"I don't mind. I'll walk home. [M] Rest in the dorm."

Almark waved with a smile.

Leila responded with a small wave of hands, poking the stone with a cane.

Light was emitted from the blue crest.

Leila disappears into the light.

"... thank you."

At the end, I heard Leila's voice.

"... well..."

Almark, who was alone, held Mars' wand in both hands and stretched it out.

I'm glad Leila's safe. I didn't get injured.

And then...

"Don't be late for the concert at this hour."

I'm really glad.

I can't go in this dirty outfit.

Let's go back to the dorm and get dressed.

Almark ran cheerfully through the woods.
