"He said something about a state overthrow, but you think that's gonna crush the country?

"You don't understand. Even trivial things can be a great force if stacked up. There are many other things I have done besides Adford, and I will continue to do so. Eventually, this country is doomed just like its empire."

All the actions he has taken have been carried out in an unknown manner. Every single one, like the Ghost case in Adford, is not even supposed to threaten one town, rather than the overthrow of the kingdom.

But it certainly erodes this Serbian kingdom, like a virus. No one has just noticed, and there may have been countless incidents that this man made.

"You're the one who doesn't understand. That's what I'm gonna stop you from doing! I'll crush you here so you can't do that from now on!

Bell, who knew nothing about the Necromancer, slapped him in the mouth. Bell has no reason to know how horrible the incidents Necromancer has been and is about to make.

"That's the dog in the kingdom. Your words are not a threat to me."

"What is it? ⁉ə"

The words of the prestigious Bell have no effect on this man who calls himself Necromancer. Unlike Bell, Necromancer seems to grasp Bell's qualities, abilities, etc. Whatever background Bell has, for Necromancer, Bell is just a dog in the kingdom. It was nothing else.

"Until I stated the facts. You can't stop my plan every time. Whatever you do, this country will fall apart."

"I don't know, man. I'm crushing you right here."

Bell, who couldn't stand the words of the Necromancer, who looked down everywhere, let his anger set him on fire. Bell had increased its accuracy every time he used magic. Now, even with anger at your disposal, you can target only the target. There will be no more outbursts of fire.

"Y⁉ə"

But Arrosha's fire never hit the Necromancer. Bell, who witnessed the sight up close, had lost his word. The reason why Bell's attack didn't work earlier is now clear.

Sure, Necromancer was supposed to have struck directly at Bell's flying fireworks, but he still doesn't have one scratch on Necromancer's body. The bright red fireworks slid through the body of the necromancer and flew to the edge of the lake. Off-target fireworks are burning in the distance. Apparently, Necromancers can slip through objects like ghosts.

Normal ghosts slip through matter, but not through black magic (Grimoire).

But the necromancer was different. He can't even deal damage to Black Magic (Grimoire) based on the magic of the Orb, Ghost's only weakness.

"Now you know. No matter how much you attack, nothing is wasted. You won't be my opponent. But don't worry, your opponent will be ready."

Seeing a desperate bell, Necromancer said so. Bell's biggest weapon, black magic (Grimoire), can't do damage to the Necromancer, and Robin-planted physical moves probably won't work.

Not long ago, Necromancer himself dived into the bottom of the lake. Bell stares wonderfully at the state of it. Bell can't possibly understand what he's thinking.

And after a while, the water starts swirling around the bottom of the lake. The vortex eventually gained in intensity, exposing the figure of a necromancer sinking at the bottom of the lake. As the Necromancer with his foot on the bottom of the lake turned his right palm upwards, a large number of orbs suddenly jumped out of the lake and drifted into the air.

Shortly after, when the necromancer holds its right hand, a change occurs in the massive orbs that have popped out into the air. The glowing orb fell into the lake like a cluster of meteors and sank to the bottom of the lake again. At that moment, Bell felt his vision distorted in some way.

"This is Lake Makasse, also famous as a suicide attraction. My thoughtless soul is asleep with sesame seeds. It is easy to manipulate such a weak soul. They're enough for you."

This place, where Bell was lured, is a lake called Lake Makasse. Voltaire is an immigrant town. There were more people coming and going from outside than from other towns, and not many of them lost their own lives in this Lake Makasse.

"You suck... don't use people's souls like tools"

Bell was angry at Necromancer for manipulating the souls that remained in the world and moving them as he wished. For Bell, what he was doing was hardly a substitute for the devil. I never eat that soul, but instead I use it as a tool, as a weapon.

"I don't think it's a tool. The lost souls are my faithful me. I cherish it. Besides, what's wrong with using the power you've got? With this unique power, I will crush this country"

Whatever the Necromancer said, it just stroked Bell's emotions back. He was a typical example of a black magician (grigori) who held power with selfish ideas. I don't know what happened between him and the Kingdom of Sertria, but I can't measure the intensity of that thought.

The fact that he is dressed in the uniform of the King Sertrian Army also gives me some special thoughts.

"Sink in Lake Makasse. Your end is suicide. There will have been no one here but you."

With that said, the necromancer gradually leaves the scene as it floats in the universe. What he has done is bury in darkness those who stand in the way and those who lend strength to the kingdom, without anyone's eyes, like this one. Even now, so many human beings may have come at their expense.

"Shit... wait, shit, shit."

Bell flames over and over from the banks of the lake, but as before, all of that ends up empty.

Eventually, the necromancer disappeared to dissolve in the air. From the way it showed up to the way it disappeared, it was just like that of the Ghost.

At that moment when the necromancer disappears, the water in the lake that was winding the vortex suddenly subsides. Bell couldn't help but notice a suddenly changed situation. We have to deal with what he left behind, more than the Necromancer is gone.

Thinking of it as quiet, Lake Makasse began to swirl again.

And the water of the lake rose high in heaven, forming the shape of a dragon. Its dragon, formed of the water of Lake Makasse, opens its mouth wide and intimidates the bell. It's like a willed creature.

"... call me."

Bell swallowed his spit when he confirmed who he was going to fight. What showed up was a water dragon like the one I saw earlier in the circus show, but the water dragon in front of me looks so fierce that it can't be compared to the water dragon in the show.

It was the dragon in front of him that had no wings and was characterised by two long beards. From the way it looked, I even felt beauty.

"Gao, o, o, o, o."

The water dragon hits the bell with a roar.

"Will you let him do what he wants?"

Bell, angry with Necromancer, immediately set fire to the water dragon. The flames go out with water. That's natural, but not in the case of Bell. Bell uses Hellfire. It cannot be erased by the water in the lake. As Bell thought, the water dragon's body had evaporated only the part that had been subjected to the fire.

"Why not 8265?"

But the assassins prepared by Necromancer won't let you take them down so easily. The face of the water dragon that received Bell's fire was immediately made up with the water of the lake to return to normal. Water dragons come back again and again unless they evaporate all the water in the lake in an attempt to attack the water dragons themselves many times.

"I'll turn it all off!

Bell immediately tried to evaporate all the water in this lake. If you let the flame go down, the lake will surely dry up. That's what Bell thought.

"Gaoooooooooooooo"

⁉ ︎

However, Bell's maneuver is inhibited by the water dragon on Lake Makasse. Reading Bell's operation, the water dragon struck Bell without getting his hair in. Before Bell unleashed the flame, the water dragon struck against Bell's mouth.

With massive amounts of water poured into his mouth, Bell sinks to the bottom of the lake without any exchanging. Bell was completely unconscious. If my consciousness doesn't return like this, I'll be out of breath at the bottom of the lake. Alosha should be able to save Bell's crisis, but there's no way that demon will ever come out.

Bell sinks deep into the bottom of the lake as he spits air bubbles out of his mouth. As it was, Bell reached the bottom of the lake and lay powerless. If things don't change like this, Bell will surely die.

That's when Bell's right hand started to move. Has Arrosha taken the lead in the body? If Arrosha were to be moving Bell's body, she should be releasing flames soon enough to dry up Lake Makasse.

However, there were no signs of flames emanating from Bell's right palm. His right hand did not emit a flame, but turned to the Knights ID stuck to his belt.

When his right hand touched the Knights ID, the chain of loyalty on his left wrist glowed purple. Then a black chain pops out of it. There was not just one chain to pop out.

Many leaping chains surrounded Bell's body like cocoons. There was no water in the space surrounded by a cocoon of chains, and air gushed out of nowhere.

Nevertheless, Bell's consciousness never returned.

Then, just saying as if I knew that, the black chains surrounding me moved out. The chain instantly wrapped around to cover Bell's chest and began to tighten.

"Gehoggyhoggy......"

When the tip of the chain binds back and forth through Bell's cheek as if he were willing, Bell finally wakes up.

"Where... here?

The cocoon in the chain is just a black space. Bell has no idea what happened in a flash. You think he even flew into different spaces while he was unconscious.

♪ This place is in chains of loyalty and doings ♪

I hear voices from nowhere in the bewildered ears of Bell.

"Arrosha? What's this all about?

The voice is a familiar voice. Now that the door is smooth to open and close, Arrosha can talk to Bell at any time in this way.

For example, why would Arosha not directly help Bell if he were in a crisis?

♪ Look at your left wrist ♪

Arrosha tells me. Bell shifts his gaze to his left wrist. Then we found out that the chains of loyalty like ink were missing.

“It's that chain that's enveloping you now. As Gregorio and the others said, the signs and chains have the power to protect you. You must have heard that, too."

"Sure..."

“In the face of difficulty, proof and chains will help save you.”

Belle was remembering Gregorian's words. In fact, when Robin and I were doing special training, Bell was asking how to use that power. The power given by Gregorio is activated by the Knights themselves touching the Knights ID.

Bell touched the Knights badge again to break the cocoon in the chain. Then the chain of loyalty that was wrapping the bell instantly sucked into Bell's left wrist and went. The mass of air that was made where Bell was begins to rise according to the laws of nature. Now that what blocked him disappeared, the giant bubble surfaced on the lake with the bell wrapped around it.

"Gao, o, o, o, o."

Ahead of the surfacing, the water dragon naturally awaited. The battle against the water dragon on Lake Makasse has just begun. By the time he came up from the lake, Bell had taken a long time.

With his face on the lake, Bell left swimming and temporarily evacuated by the lake. I can't move as I think in the water. Fighting a water dragon while you're in the water is an extremely retarded way. Even as Bell headed for the lake, the water dragon was about to strike, but Bell was never dragged to the bottom of the lake again.

"I'll burn you."

Finally regaining his physical freedom, Bell lights a flame on his wet right hand. The situation hasn't changed at all just now. If you try to keep attacking like this, just like just now, the water dragon will just drag the bell down to the bottom of the lake again.

"Come on. You can't stop me anymore."

Immediately after that, a bright red fire covered Bell's entire body. Wherever the water dragon is attacking from, there will be no such thing as the two previous episodes.

♪ It's what I've been thinking ♪

"You shut up.

Arosha was impressed with Bell's operation. Think of it, Arrosha should have already been able to speak to Bell on her first mission, but it was quiet then.

"You won't be my opponent."

Surrounded by flames, Bell swung his big right fist into the center of the lake. The bell cannot be stopped at the time of the water dragon. To prove it, the black magician (Grigori) of the Fire cried out loudly.

Keep it up, Bell waves down the fist of the flame.

What Bell used at this time was a preliminary fiery fist used by the Rock of Aurora Flames. Primitive and simple means of attack are probably the best way to spill anger.

"Gaohhhhhhhhh"

The water dragon intercepts the bell. Now even if the water dragon attacked me, Bell would never drown. No matter how much water dragons strike, all the water that comes into contact with Bell's body evaporates and disappears. The outcome of this battle was already obvious.

"Go away."

Bell slammed a fiery fist straight into the bottom of the lake. Bell's fist, wrapped in red and burning flames, eventually clashes to the bottom of the lake as it evaporates the surrounding water.

At that moment, the flame that was wrapping Bell's entire body spread all over the lake simultaneously. Lake Makasse, which was bright blue, instantly stained bright red, and the water throughout the lake disappeared in seconds of things. Lake Makasse, which until just now was heavily strewn with water, has now dried up completely.

Juuuuu...

Looking at Lake Makasse, which turned into just a big crater, Bell inadvertently slackened his licence. The Wizard of Fire was convinced of a complete victory.
