Benjamin was never saddened that he had taken Riley's life with that hand. He pulled the sword through Riley's chest vigorously. The giant blade is dirty with a lot of blood.

Riley's body, pulled out of the blade, fell to the ground powerless. She will no longer get up. In those red eyes that were opened, there was no more glow.

There were only two human beings on this occasion trying to take the Pope's revenge.

"Belle Queer Faust. I will surely kill you!

Benjamin holds a bloody sword and packs the distance toward Bell. Benjamin's heart was already worn out. I killed Raleigh at his own initiative then, but not this time. Benjamin didn't want to kill Riley. Now he's lost both of his daughters.

"Perseverance, you're probably the one who kills people."

Bell, who had recently regained his physical freedom, immediately expands his magic formation to his right hand. I can't go get attacked in silence anymore.

"Shut up. It's not worth listening to, like, your words"

Benjamin goes quietly, increasing the speed of his stepping out feet. No matter what happens to Riley, Benjamin's mind won't change. There is no other way to stop Shura, who vowed revenge in firm faith, than to resist with all his might.

When Bell saw how it was, he hurried away from the scene when he built a wall of rotting flames nearby. The battle has just begun, but only a few stocks of flames remain.

"Stop laughing. You can't beat me with such child deception!

Looking at the bell running away leaving the flame, Benjamin spilled a grin. The truth is, Bell wanted to fly the flames like a wizard to jam Benjamin, but he can't do that right now. Plus, we need enough flame stock and time to make a long-range attack.

……………

Bell was desperately fleeing Benjamin while building a wall of rotting flames (Hmm) in every place. I guess he's going to make Benjamin's vision worse and even blunt his movements with the wall of rotting flames (Hmm).

The alley was already flooded with rotting flames. We can no longer easily capture each other's appearances.

But shortly afterwards, a blade of the Great Sword appeared from among the rotting flames (Hmm), aiming at Bell's neck muscles. That was a really accurate blow.

"Wow, wow."

Suddenly appeared Benjamin's sword, and Bell turned his back heavily to avoid the critical. If you fight properly, Benjamin could take your life. Benjamin is strong enough to be comparable to Black Mage (Grigori).

As Bell was running around, Benjamin appeared in front of him. Some distance apart even when I say right in front of you, but there is no guarantee of safety unless you hide right behind rotting flames (Hmm).

"I don't know if it burns round, do I?

Bell didn't run away. Bell hands on the ground remembering to array the magic formations.

Then a relatively small magic formation emerged, one after the other. Before the bell, rows of magic formations were formed.

……………

When the arrayed magic formations glowed simultaneously red, multiple overlapping corrupt flame (Hmm) walls emerged from them. The two left and right are surrounded by corrupt flames (Hmm), making this place a main road.

Between the two more, multiple overlapping corrosive flame (Hmm) walls. Benjamin should no longer be able to move.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa."

"Whatever ⁉"

But Benjamin's actions greatly betrayed Bell's expectations.

Shura, burning in vengeance, didn't have multiple walls of rotting flames as objects, but came straight to the bell. Decay flames (Hmm) are not like normal flames. How much Benjamin is a formidable warrior, that flame should burn his body. Is Benjamin resolute or reckless in ignoring the pain and continuing to attack?

It was a wandering bell for a moment, but I didn't have time to be confused here. We can't stop this horrible monster unless we take action quickly.

"You bakemon!

Bell couldn't hide the upset. The rotting flames that have defeated so many enemies so far are not working. Rather than that, Benjamin's movements never slowed down, even though he should be definitely doing damage.

In response to the impending Benjamin, Bell left the scene when several walls of rotting flames appeared in our samurai.

Benjamin hasn't used any black magic (Grimoire) that I've seen so far, and he looks disgusted with black magic (Grimoire).

Besides, its overly tough flesh and its inflexible spirit were far from human.

"I'm a black magician. Are you the only one who can do this?"

Benjamin frontally breaks through the wall of rotting flames without cowardice, but there is no sign of Bell ahead. What they have now is some sort of trail in Sertria.

This place is already covered with rotting flames, and ordinary people can't even move.

As if to back it up, Jim Corey was losing his mind by inhaling the smoke generated by rotting flames. The sight is covered with rotting flames.

Still, this could not necessarily be said to be a favourable environment to take to Bell. I scattered rot flames (Hmm) to make the opponent's movements and vision worse, but that even made Bell's vision worse.

If Benjamin doesn't take the damage from rot flame as an object, it's not even advantageous.

"Ha-ha-ha."

And finally, Benjamin hits Bell, who was hiding herself in a rotting flame.

"Whew!"

Bell avoided Benjamin's sword.

Even then, Benjamin continues to wield the Great Sword, and Bell continues to desperately avoid it. Its blade, wielded without slowing down at all, gradually set its aim and finally plundered Bell's right leg.

"Ku... Ku... Ku"

The wounded Bell accidentally held his right leg down with his right hand. If this situation continues, eventually Benjamin's victory may come.

"Phew..."

"Don't laugh."

Here, Bell aggressively attempts to fight back. How much Benjamin, it's not like you don't take any damage at all. Whoever burned it was proving it. The robe he is weaving is also burnt and torn.

This inflexible warrior was definitely taking damage. I'm just enduring that pain. Knowing that, Bell deploys his magic formation again to unleash a rotting flame on Benjamin at close range.

"Is that it?"

But here's where Bell's out-of-count events happen.

"Hahahaha... I was after this. I know by the way that you can't freely use that power. Can't you use that black magic (Grimoire) without a stock of flames?

Benjamin understood Bell's black magic (Grimore). Yes, Bell's Black Magic (Grimoire) cannot be activated without a stock of flames. Benjamin waited a long time for Bell to cut the stock of flames.

"So what's up? Unfortunately, there are tons of flames here. If you absorb it every time you use it, it won't run out of stock, okay?

Bell aggressively tries to absorb the perishable flames that burn nearby in a magical formation.

⁉ ︎

But Benjamin's sword swung down between the Red Magic Formation and Rotten Flames (Hmm), preventing the absorption of the flames.

"I've been waiting for this moment. I won't let you carry any more weapons. You're done."

"Damn it."

Without giving up, Bell attempts to absorb rot flame again. It was also stopped by Benjamin. Any attempt to absorb the flames around you will be inhibited by the nearby Benjamin.

The only way to increase the stock of flames again is to get away from Benjamin.

"You have no more weapons."

Looking at the bell, which lost its ability to exchange, Benjamin's mouth slackened. If we can stab Todome in this situation, Benjamin's victory is certain.

"I still have a weapon!

Bell stabbed the dagger he had hidden in his nostrils into Benjamin. I also had it when I was in Adford, that dagger.

Gussa......

That short blade definitely pierced Benjamin's right forearm. From there, there is red blood dripping.

"That's not a weapon."

Benjamin stuck it straight through Bell's abdomen as he pulled through the dagger that pierced him. A blow by Dagger could not have worked for Benjamin, who did not blunt his movements by eating rotting flames.

"Gu......"

More wounded Bell kneels one knee. Surely Benjamin should be more physically harmed, but Bell fell first.

As it is, there may be a settlement on this occasion. By this time, Bell was beginning to feel a danger to his life.

“If I'm dying, he'll come out..."

I didn't want to admit it, but it was Arrosha who always showed up when a real crisis came to Bell. Even though the situation is still unparalleled as critical as ever, there is never a way for Arrosha to come out.

"What a helpless black magician (Grigori)"

Benjamin sighed when he saw the bell fall on just one blow of dagger.

At that time, he had his eyes slightly closed. At that slight moment, Bell absorbs all the rotting flames that were nearby.

Fortunately, Benjamin hasn't noticed that.

Benjamin showing a cheerful bareback, but there was definitely a build-up of damage to that body. Benjamin looks like a bright red ghost, whoever burned his whole body.

The body should be wearing off for sure, but Benjamin's movements, as opposed to dull, also feel sharper.

Benjamin, who had broken through the wall of rotting flames more than once, had already stopped feeling the pain caused by the heat of the flames. He's a terrible warrior. He doesn't know death.

"A black magician (Grigori) who drowns in his power and hardly works out... if he loses his black magic (Grimoire), he's powerless"

Benjamin disgusts the bottom black magician (Grigori). What makes him hate black magic (Grimoire) so much? He's right, Bell, who lost his biggest weapon called black magic (Grimoire), is almost powerless.

Even with black magic (Grimoire), there were few prospects of beating Benjamin, but if black magic (Grimoire) disappeared, there would be no more wins.

"Ugh..."

Bell, whose movement has slowed, is further attacked by Benjamin. The tip of the great sword plunders Bell's upper left arm, and the amount of bleeding gradually increases. If you don't recover quickly with Shizuku in the starry sky, it may be too late.

"Knock, knock."

And when Bell moved his right hand to remove a bottle of Shizuku from the starry sky from his nostalgia.

Relentless Benjamin shakes his blade. The cutting edge was aimed at Bell's right forearm. Even as Bell desperately tried to escape, that aim never came off. Bell managed to leave behind the means of attack in black magic (Grimoire), but he suffered a huge wound to his dominant arm.

Bell usually attacks by black magic (Grimoire) with his right hand. If you get wounded, your aim will slip away. Benjamin knew that.

"Almost there... I can take my revenge soon!

Benjamin continues to attack. Ever since I confirmed the Pope's death with his eyes, I've only thought about killing Bell. Killing Bell is his biggest goal.

That's what we're trying to achieve now.

"This jerk......"

The next thing you hurt was your right shoulder. Bell is bleeding from all over his body. Benjamin didn't intentionally cause fatal injuries. Bell is kept alive in pain. I'm going to take my life after I've shaken it.

Bell was no longer in a state where he could not fight properly. There is still a slight rot flame in the magic formation, but you won't be able to hit Benjamin.

……………

And Benjamin remains silent and continues to slash Bell's left shoulder. Bell's vision, slashed throughout his body, was blurred and sumptuous. Afraid of death, Bell tries to get out of this place using his left leg, which was safe.

"I'm not letting you get away with this."

However, before escaping, Benjamin's blade reached Bell's left leg. Now Bell can no longer move freely. Even if you can move, the movement is interminably slow.

Bell, who was struck by Benjamin's sword as he stood, would no longer be able to avoid the next blade. Gradually, even standing is becoming impatient. It's just a desperate situation.

No longer, just waiting for death. Until now, when Bell was exposed to the danger of death, Alosha woke up and came out of her misery.

But there's never any sign of Arrosha coming out this time. If Bell dies, there will be no more flesh for Arrosha to move in the world of Oz. You should want to avoid Arrosha, too.

"Die, Black Mage (Grigori)"

Benjamin's face, full of madness, was full of intent to kill.

That's when Bell realized there was. The blade of Benjamin's sword directed at us had a strange pattern on it. A zig-zag pattern is applied to sew the centerline from the root of the blade to the tip. It looked like a monster's beak, too.

Bell is trying to observe his enemies at all to find a way to survive.

Gachan.

At the next moment, a change took place in the Great Sword that could be poked against the Bell.

The great sword of Benjamin made a metal noise and divided it into two strands, bordering its zigzag pattern. The blade, divided into two strands by a central zigzag, axially slid away from the center toward the outside with the (one).

A steampunk design mechanism with gears and chains can be found on the (1) part.

The monster's beak was opened. The Great Sword, divided into two strands, was exactly like a monster with an open mouth. A hungry monster is opening his mouth right now trying to eat a bell. Benjamin's weapon was equipped with an unusual gimmick.

"I'll take your neck with this“ Neck Eater ”!

The blade of the neck eater can be opened and closed, just like the mouth of the neck-eating monster itself. It's a mouth lined with countless fangs.

Finally, Neck Eater opens his big mouth and takes aim at Bell's neck. An open mouth closes, slashing his neck. That is precisely the instrument of execution itself.

In despair, Bell contemplated an operation. At that moment when Neck Eater was protruded, Bell released a slight accumulated rot flame. That's even a tiny amount of flames out of the slightest accumulation.

Using his somewhat liberal left hand, Bell used black magic (Grimoire).

The flame strikes brilliantly straight into Benjamin's right forearm and also looks like he has no heart or dull movement. Benjamin has already suffered severe burns and stab wounds. Exactly, maybe he's starting to feel the accumulated damage.

Then he didn't give it a break, and Bell also released the rest of the rot flame. Black magic (Grimoire) by a magical formation whose power is maximized because of its close proximity. Bell activated black magic (Grimoire) by moving his right arm with the thought of death, which had already begun to lose its senses.

"Ku.................."

The flames unleashed by Bell were aimed at both Benjamin's eyes. Trace amounts of rot flame strike directly into both eyes of Benjamin and succeed in depriving him of his sight.

Can we fulfill and change the worst ending in this situation where the blade is imminent right there?

Jackin!

Just slightly misaligned, Neck Eater was stuck overhead by Bell and momentum closed his mouth.

"Did you take it off..."

Benjamin learns in that sound that he couldn't take Bell's neck. All I could hear was the sound of metal bumping into each other.

Critically missed, Neck Eater plunders Bell's hair just a little. At the same time he missed his heartbeat, Bell stroked his chest down. One hair saved Bell's life. Still, I didn't take this desperate situation off.

Bell tries to escape the scene by moving his severely painful running body at all costs.

But my body doesn't move the way I want.

"Gu......"

Having managed to get out of Benjamin's present, Bell tries to stay as far away from the vengeful ghost as he can.

Fortunately, Benjamin's eyesight has been deprived, and there are many rotting flames around. Soon he could absorb it and increase his stock, but Bell was thinking of hiding himself in a safe place first and healing his wounds with Shizuku in the starry sky.

"Not yet... I can still kill you... I'm not like the Black Mage (Grigori) who grew up sweet on my abilities! What's wrong with you because you're blind? ⁉... That's none of my business."

Benjamin's obsession was horrible. I haven't given up revenge yet, even though I say I lost my eyesight while covering my entire body with burns. What the hell puts him that far?

Bell, on the other hand, expected Benjamin to loom again. A tough flesh off common sense and a vengeful ghost with a bottomless obsession. Benjamin couldn't have fallen here.

"Ha... ha..."

What Bell is looking for is a place where everything around him has been closed with a wall of rotting flames. My whole body is already screaming. Bell's vision, which was also dazzling, gradually darkened.

Are you saying this is going to die? Bell felt herself on the verge of death.

This was the first time I had ever felt a vague death in a barn, but I had actually felt it dying. Almost, the heartbeat of Bell's soul stops. We need to drink Shizuku from the starry sky soon...

Gokuri...

Bell finally swallowed a mouthful of Shizuku in the starry sky. In this situation, stuffed with cut wings, Bell had also forgotten the preciousness of Shizuku in the starry sky.

Very few Shizukuishi are left in the starry sky. We need to fight smart from now on so we don't have to use this valuable tool. In the midst of that thought, Bell felt her body recover and go as she glanced.

Bell thought this is exactly what he meant to say about coming back from the abyss of death. This would also change the war situation, which was hopeless. Bell was perfectly well and had a scratchless body.

Now we have a chance. Benjamin is now considerably more combat-ridden than usual.

When he thought so, Bell remembers that he was insulting the depth of the avenging ghost obsession.

⁉ ︎

Bell couldn't move again. Finally, an open neck eater's mouth was capturing Bell's neck.

Bell was making a mistake. Benjamin was deprived of his vision and weakened, but rather his senses were sharpened.

Benjamin today is not what he used to be when he relied on what was visible. Sharpening all sensations except vision, Benjamin looked for Bell, exactly with his blood eye. The burning sound of rotting flames, the breathing of bells, the footsteps, the sound of drinking the Shizuku of the starry sky. Benjamin, who was listening to everything, aimed precisely at Bell's neck.

Now Neck Eater's blade is still trying to eat Bell's neck. If you move your body at all, that sharp blade is going to eat into your neck. Bell, who has no stock of rotting flames, has no skill to exchange.

There was nothing Bell could do but wait for his neck to be severed. Neck Eater's blade is so imminent that he can't even swallow his spit imagining the moment his neck was amputated.

"The Pope's Vengeance! The neck, the cup you wear."

Benjamin puts his finger on something like a button in the Neck Eater pattern.

Finally, when Bell's life runs out. At last Arrosha will not come out, and Bell's life will be taken. Is Bell unnecessary for that demon anymore? Having lost all his grip, Bell meditates quietly on his eyes. There's nothing more I can do. A sharp neck eater blade around the neck. And on top of the inability to move, there's no stock of flames. If Benjamin's finger pushes that switch completely, the bell's neck will be severed in an instant.

Bell had given up everything. I feel death right there, and for the first time regret boils down to two things.

At the time of his death, Bell had in mind the face of Lili, Allen, who had made a dangerous journey with him. And it's Raleigh's last smile burning hard into Bell's brain right now. Raleigh's thoughts about saving Bell by presenting herself were now scattered. After all, she couldn't save Bell. I could save Emilia and Bart, but I couldn't save three of them by myself.

Maybe Bell was just lucky to have survived so far. This is the end of the escape journey, the revenge against his father, and the search for the key to lifting the curse placed on Lili's mother.

Gachan...

Immediately afterwards, a vain metal sound rushes through the roar of rotting flames.

Bell's life, which followed a strange fate, also ends with this
