BLACK MOON - Black Magic War Beginning with Jailbreak - [Full story illustration available]

As far as I can see, the world of silver is spreading. A mass of iron flies out between the snowy white mountains.

This is over the northern mountainous area near the village of Rotterbania Keyash. The iron chunk flying is an airship dedicated to the Knights. One giant bird is flying alongside as well as the airship. It hasn't been long since the directive came out from Gregorio, but I guess you're saying there's an M-12 just ready.

Birds big enough to beat the bestialized Robin are flying through the cold skies unbeaten by snowstorms. The birds flying next to the airship were white all over their bodies. From what I've seen, it looks like a bird adapted to the cold.

Before long, the airship and the white bird landed on a chopped cliff. That's a cliff not so far from Snow Cliff. It was on a cliff that Bell and Killian climbed.

"It's a pleasant cold"

As Tallap descended from the airship, a man in red with a cane (rod) appeared. He is Igor Febrary, one of the M-12, and from his looks in his 50s or so, there was majesty. What Febrary could carry was a clear rod as if it had been made by cutting out ice.

There is freezing air in Rottervania. Even though the cold enough to freeze his body dominates the area, Febrary was just wearing Knights clothes as usual, and he wasn't wearing cold clothes.

It's very unbearable cold just to wear the Knights, but Febrary's body wasn't even trembling.

When Febrary went outside the airship, the white bird shivered. In the wake of tremors, the body of a white bird is wrapped in a light that is just dazzling.

"Ihihi... Ihihihi"

It was also an M-12 member with green skin that emerged from the dazzling light. His name is Nathaniel Jurai. A man characterized by green skin and a small body like a child. Above all, its spooky laughter is what characterizes it. Julai is a creepy being with a heterogeneous atmosphere, among the M-12.

"Ihi... I don't think there's any elba where there seems to be nothing like this ~"

"It's this extreme environment that's great for hiding. Don't pull it out, Nathaniel."

"I see. ~ I know. Let's take advantage of my stunts and find out all about this world of snow."

"Great. Let's say I create a scaffold linking Snow Mountain to facilitate the activities of the Survey Team"

"Febrary and my black witchcraft (Grimoire) are good for investigating Rottervania."

"Naturally. Master Gregorio understands us best."

Let Julai tell you that their black magic (Grimoire) is suitable for extreme environments in Rottervania. Julai is a beast (chimeric) type. From the rod that I could carry, I can deduce that Febrary is an ice-based black magic (grimoire) use, but the details are not yet revealed.

"Finish your investigation on this land and return to the king's capital."

"Even I want to get out of this cold place."

They acted twice as fast as men, and could have returned to the King's Capital without putting too much time aside. If they come back, the number of M-12 in the Wang capital will be seven. If the investigation in Rottervania were difficult to navigate, there would be no problem, but that hope would be dim.

It had already been two weeks since Lili first visited Bell's hospital room. In one of the rooms at Elixis Central Hospital, Bell has a painful look on his face.

Even on this day, Lili was visiting the hospital room. She was coming to see Belle, both the day she came and the day she came.

Lili sleeps like a covering over a bell.

But the cause that Bell seems to suffer from is probably not Lili.

Bell's consciousness was in deep darkness.

"... here, where?

Bell is walking weakly in a dark space. That was flown when I sat in a chair of curse at the Gopher Mansion, very similar to the world of demons.

Bell, who is in a closed consciousness, was dressed the same way he was before he passed out. Bell is unaware of what happened to him. Why are you walking in the dark? Nor does he know why.

Bell keeps walking without guessing. In this dark space there is no light or sound whatsoever. For some reason, even Bell's own footsteps had not reached his ears. This is exactly, “nil” space. Because of the lack of light, Bell could not even confirm his appearance.

Let Elba tell you, now Bell is trapped deep in consciousness. Even the power of Elba is in deep darkness inaccessible. Elba said there were signs of awakening, but looking at Bell's condition now, even that hope seemed to be a lie.

Walking in the deep dark changes the view Bell was looking at. As if painted with paint, the black world takes back its colour and goes. Bell's sight had instant views of some city.

Immediately, the world regains light and sound.

That was Harbor Street. The sea is very close, with countless large sailboats moored. There are so many people in the harbor that they can't beat the King's Capital. Belle had never seen such a busy harbor.

This is supposed to be Bell's subconscious, but what spreads is Bell's unknown view. Even if you don't know the scenery, Bell relieves you of getting out of the dark.

"What... this"

But Bell couldn't honestly be happy with it. On the contrary, I immediately wanted to block my ears.

"Kaaaahhhhhhhh"

"Stop, stop, stop."

"Don't come over here."

"It kills me!

A voice full of fear and sorrow overflowed this city. Not only the voice, but even the sound of flames burning and explosions reach Bell's ears.

And Bell's vision went red stained. The city where Bell is now was engulfed in red flames, which make loud noises and burn.

While overwhelmed, Bell was surrounded by burning fires. The screams I had just heard were also deafened as early as possible. It would be the work of the flames surrounding the bell.

"What the hell is this? Where... what's going on?"

Bell could not forbid confusion in the tragedy he was suddenly shown. Belle has experienced Valdarza's fire in Mind Storm.

But this was something else, unlike the Great Fire in Valdarza. There is no such thing as a small bell that erupts into flaming black magic (Grimoire) there, and Valdarza is not Harbor Street.

"Ah⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉⁉\

…………

Then naturally, the flame in front of Bell is blown, and someone shows up there. Bell was nailed to the appearance of the first person he saw.

What appeared in front of Bell was a monster who looked like a burning flame. On the tail of a long flame, two tunas stretching out of the head. The fingernails on his hands and feet were pointy, and a black sword was held in his right hand.

"Arrosha's... fangs ⁉"

Bell doubted his own eyes.

Indeed, what the monster who appeared in front of him was getting was Arosha's fangs, which Bell got at the end of his special training. Why a monster you've never even seen has Bell's weapon in your hands.

The identity of the monster that appeared before Bell's eyes is Bell's new state of awakening, the "incarnation of fireworks".

I mean, it was Bell himself who showed up before Bell. Bell doesn't have the memory of the incarnation of fireworks. Bell couldn't understand that he was the one in front of her.

Is this just an obsessive notion or is it like a predictive dream? In a port town I've never visited before, Bell is rampant.

Only in the subconscious, but Bell caused a second Valdarza fire. Bell doesn't know anything, but what he's seeing right now may mean a lot.

"Stop..."

…

"Don't do that."

Bell, who never dreamt it was herself in front of her, shouts at the incarnation of the Fire. The incarnation of the fireworks immediately noticed Bell's call.

Arosha's fangs were gripped in Bell's right hand trying to stop the incarnation of the fireworks. That's something else that the incarnation of fireworks has. I mean, that's what Bell just created.

"Are you gonna pretend to be me? You're saying I'm a monster."

……………

Bell burns a quiet rage against the incarnation of the Fire. The incarnation of the opposing Fire stares at Bell without uttering a word.

I'll stop you.

Put one breath down and Bell jumps to the incarnation of the Fire.

Stuffed with distance at once, Bell waves his black blade toward the incarnation of the fireworks. The incarnation of fireworks that immediately reacted to Bell's attack bounces back Bell's blade with a black blade as well.

Then the black blades bumped into each other more than once. Without giving way to each other in any way, the two blades continued to play high sounds over and over again. Neither one of them would win the push, and the war situation was completely antagonistic.

“Damn...... using Arrosha's fangs means it's Arrosha's flames that are covering his entire body. My black magic (Grimore) bump doesn't change the situation..."

"Well, well, well."

Bell, thinking alone, suddenly flashed something. Bell, who came up with something, flies toward the incarnation of the fireworks, just as he did at first. This time, however, Bell did not shake the blade.

Landing straight in front of the incarnation of the Fire, Bell slammed his hands on the ground.

Then the deep red magic formation spreads around Bell's hands. This was the measure Bell had in mind. Flames can be absorbed by magic formations.

"I'm gonna skin you!

The incarnation of the Fire does not escape the magic formation, but stands on the spot. Bell activates the Absorption Magic as it is and attempts to remove the “Fire” that wraps the incarnation of the Fire. If it is just a fiery monster in front of you, its appearance disappears, otherwise, the skin of the makeup peels off.

Eventually, as Bell thought, the fire that wrapped the person in front of him disappeared into the magic formation.

Finally, the identity of the monster is revealed.

"⁉ ……… Why me..."

The monster, stripped of his flaming skin, looked exactly like Belle Queer Faust. Witnessing his unusual appearance, Bell lets go of the Arosha fangs he was gripping and is stunned.

It was Belle herself, no other, who was sparking flames at strange harbor streets. The "incarnation of fireworks" is Bell's own state of awakening, so naturally.

Bell, finding out it was himself who was fighting until just now, collapsed from his stunned not very knee.

……………

Bell was feeling unspeakable disgust. Is this self-blame for sleeping in Bell's deep psychology, or is it like a predictive dream? Either way, Bell's feelings are dark and heavy, sinking deep into his consciousness.

If you noticed, you were back in the dark around the bell again. No more strange harbor streets in flames or another self.

Bell's consciousness was once again plunged into the deep dark. Maybe that was a sign of awakening earlier, but Bell missed that big chance.

"What the... what do you want..."

……

……………

………………………

It was just after I was about to wake up. Bell's voice echoed into the space where there was no sound until just now.

But all you can still hear is Bell's voice. In this dark space, there is nothing but a bell.

Then, in no time, I heard a bell coming from somewhere. After the sound of the bell, another different sound reaches Bell's ear.

"Belle, don't be afraid. You're nothing wrong."

"⁉ … Mother?

A voice different from his jumps into Bell's ear as he was about to plug again in the interminable darkness. Bell doubted his ears unexpectedly. That should be it, too. What I heard was the voice of his real mother, Helen Quill.

"Belle, you're not supposed to sleep in here."

"............ warm"

The next moment, Helen, whose voice was the only one, suddenly appeared. A sudden appearance, Helen gently envelops Bell's body. She saves the bell disturbing light in the dark. Her body was somehow in warm light. She was a beacon of light that always existed in the bell.

It was a warm, gentle embrace, full of nature and tears from Bell's eyes in the warmth of my mother, who felt it for the first time in more than a decade.

"Wake up and help your father. He needs you."

"... is ⁉why, I have to help him like that ⁉R"

Then Helen throws words that Bell doesn't understand roughly. Bell's real father, Johann Faust, abhorred and hated Bell more than anyone else. He summoned a demon to Bell's body and made a reason to live in prison young.

Just because it was a favor from my mother, Bell couldn't easily shake her neck vertically.

"Your father..."

"Wait, Mother."

Helen looks sad and tries to say something about Johann Faust, but his voice interrupted along the way.

Helen, who was about to tell Bell something about Johann, became a particle of light and disappeared painfully. This is only the depths of Bell's subconscious. It is only natural that you cannot acquire knowledge from within yourself that you do not know.

"Mother."

Bell is selflessly obsessed and searches for her mother. My kind mother, wrapped around the bell, is nowhere to be found anymore. Bell's feelings were even more depressed in a world once again surrounded by darkness. It was as if someone was flirting with Bell's heart.

It was just a little different this time. Shortly after Helen disappeared, Bell's surroundings began to light up. Bell immediately noticed it. This space, where Bell is, was the bottom of darkness that didn't even reach light until just now.

That, too, is already a story of the past. Now, the warm light does reach this place.

Eventually the light illuminated the darkness without neighborhood and erased all shadows. At last, Bell was freed from the darkness.

Surrounded by warm light, Bell closed his eyes softly.

"Warm..."

The next time Bell's eyes were opened, there was a one-room ceiling at Central Hospital. Bell finally woke up. When I woke up, what Bell was feeling was warmth.

Naturally Bell doesn't know where this place is, and he doesn't even remember himself falling at Ship Port in Valentis. It's been a while since I woke up. Bell stared straight in front of Bo for a while.

"...... Lili?

After a while, Belle realized that Lili was asleep making sure she hugged her.

"Hmm... eh, bell ⁉ when did you wake up ⁉?"

Lili also woke up as soon as Bell was peeking into her face. Her expression was full of surprises. Of course she should be happy to wake up Bell, but I guess surprise wins better now.

"Ooh... I just woke up"

"Good............"

Looking at Lili in a different way than usual, Belle can't hide her confusion. As soon as I heard back from Belle, Lili's eyes filled me with nature and tears. She is truly delighted that Bell, who slept like a dead man, woke up.

"Welcome back!"

Lili gives Belle a smile that she squeaks with tears. She didn't want to cry, she wanted to greet Belle with a smile.

Bell, who had never been able to grasp the situation before, had seen Lili's reaction and guessed what had happened to him.

"Weird Face"

"Shut up"

And the usual interaction begins. Finally, Bell is back in this world.
