"Why don't you take a break?

"Let's take a break when this is over!

"A ghost..."

"Huh?"

"Don't pretend you can hear me but you can't..."

"Ugh... cute ~"

"Something, haven't you always been forced to clean up with that...?

Not for long, Ashley is about to move on to her next training. Lili and Ashley's pace is so uneven. Never the two I feel comfortable with, but it doesn't seem to mean they're incompatible.

"Well, that's not good! Okay, let's use this next time!

"What is it? It's black and round."

The next thing Ashley put out in front of Lili was a black sphere. Naturally Lili has never seen the sphere. It's called the Slaughter Doll, it's called the Black Sphere, and Ashley owns all the things Lili doesn't know.

"This is the Black Scale Crystal. It's a sphere with the power to attract magic."

"Kokurinshi...?

"Black scale crystals, curius and crystals made from black dragon urchins. Pretty rare, so I'm the only one in the Knights. There are swordsmen who use similar powers."

Black scale crystal with the power to attract magic. When asked only about its abilities, Isaac's love knife Del More is associated.

"What do you do with that black scale crystal?

"Hey, I'm sorry."

"Huh? Ouch!

As Lili was tilting her neck, Ashley suddenly slapped Lili's body hard from the front with her palm. Lili, who was suddenly attacked, had no skill to exchange. Why the hell did Ashley suddenly do Lili harm?

"... yep ⁉"

The reason for this soon became apparent. The beaten pain caused Lili, who was crushing the first time, to open the other, another Lili, who could never have existed in front of her.

Before that sight, which was so strange, Lili was remembering what had happened in the Trump Circus. In the current attack, did Ashley replicate a person named Lili?

"I needed a black scaly crystal for this."

"To make my identities?

"Ugh... I didn't make a divorce. I pulled your magic from your body."

"Heh? I mean, what do you mean?

"The Black Scale Crystal has the power to attract magic. But, you know, you're too weak to attract magic to people. That's why the magical shock made it easier to strip the magic out of your body."

Ashley's attack without any foretaste had a proper meaning.

"Why would you do that if magic seeped out because of it?

"It's necessary. You are not who you really are now. Now you are Lili Wallace's magical body. Your consciousness was stripped out of your body with magic."

"So what am I supposed to do?

"Go back to your body. Once the magic of leaving your body is restored, you will surely awaken to black magic (Grimoire). You're a faint magic body now, but once you get back to your body, you'll wake up with the enormous amount of magic that's still asleep."

"Is that a good thing?

"Yep. As long as you return to your body, Black Magic (Grimoire) should awaken!

Lili was clapping out. If you're just listening to Ashley, it sounded so much easier to move on to the second stage than the first.

"Hey! Let me just get this over with and give you a break!

"Come on, man."

Lili, who wanted to take a quick break, just walks toward her body. Return the magical body to the flesh. That's all Lili has to do.

Srr.

"Is that it?"

Even when Lili reached her own flesh, the magic body never returned to her flesh. Lili, who became a magical body, slipped through the flesh. Lili is feeling ghosted.

"I just didn't happen to make it!

Maybe it just didn't work out by chance. Lili, who thought so, tries to return to the flesh again.

But no matter how many times I did it, the results were the same.

"Oh... I don't think you're feeling it yet."

"Feelings?"

"I told you, didn't I? My heart awakens Black Magic (Grimoire). You are becoming aware that you have magic and are accepting the destiny in which you have been placed. But that's not enough."

Ashley, who had been silent for a while to watch how things were going, finally opened her mouth.

"My emotions exploded, and what more do you say I need?

"I still feel lost and rejected in you. Accept yourself, all of it. I accept the whole thing. Light and darkness.

You still have a strong aversion to the “Lilith part” left to you. Even if you're trying to accept it with your head, your mind is still rejecting it. The only way to move on is for your mind to accept yourself. The “Lilith part” that's left of you will help you. From the bottom of your heart, embrace your destiny. "

"I know... I know that. It's supposed to be organized by now... so we just have to accept it!

Having listened to Ashley's advice, Lili uttered words of determination, as she inspired herself. Lili, who is strong, but not that many days have passed since I met Lilith.

The desire to reject the abruptly poked facts remains deeply ingrained in Lili.

Lili switches her mind and tries to return to her body again.

……⁉ ︎

Then Lilith appeared as if to inhibit it. Until now, even if Lili approached her own flesh, such a phenomenon would never occur. I guess this is proof that Lili's mind is about to change.

When I peek into the abyss, the abyss is peeking at this one again.

It was obviously not the real Lilith there. Lilith is a symbol of darkness within herself for Lilith. It embodies who I hate. Accept yourself, all of it. To do this, you have to face everything, whether you like it or dislike it.

What's hard to accept is who I hate. Her darkness in turn is about to swallow up Lili trying to accept.

Darkness surrounds the area with Lilith, hiding Lilith's flesh.

"You are my child. You're in the devil's world. You are unacceptable from any human being. Even Stella, who you love, will refuse if she finds out you're not human."

"It's..."

"Look, you're not sure you'll be loved, are you? Stay here. If you come over here, you won't have to think about anything anymore."

Lilith's words take confidence away from Lilith. Devil's child. It can't change how, her identity.

Demons, however, were difficult to accept for humans. In fact, it is the power of the devil that is putting Stella to sleep, and even Bell is driven mad by the presence of the devil.

Lili was about to be dragged into darkness. When you try to accept everything, the other way around, the part of Lili that's out of tolerance, is trying to put her in the dark all the time. It means something completely different to be swallowed up and swallowed up.

"Are you sure I... your mother loves you?

Lili had completely lost her confidence. Is this the fate of those who take over the power of the devil? The magic that dwells in Lili, surely willing, is trying to drag her into darkness. Lilith's magic is handed down to Lili in the form of blood, and she is now trying to intimidate exactly Lili's spirit.

Lilith's magic also has the power to influence the child who inherited it. But do you say?

The greater Lili's anxiety, the bigger Lilith's appearance proportionally becomes, fuelling the girl's anxiety even more.

Lili is in her heart, confronting Lilith. From the side, she just has a distressed look on her own. Ashley, watching how Lili was doing, was sensing the changes taking place in her.

Lilith, who appeared in Lili's mind, was the wall she should overcome with her own strength. Ashley doesn't help in any way in particular, she just keeps an eye on Lili with her worried face.

At the time Lili was being confused by Lilith, Lili's ears were evoked with a nostalgic voice. That's the voice that's always pounded and moved her heart.

"If I didn't become a doctor, would I be angry? Are you gonna hate me?

"It's not like I hate you."

"Really?"

What resuscitates the girl in the back of her brain is a casual conversation with Stella at a young age. That was a common conversation that seemed to bother me to hear in every home.

"True."

"Really, really?

"If it's true! Trust your mother."

"Eh heh. Your mother is so sweet!

"Accept all of you. That's the mother. No matter how much you hate me or refuse me. Even if it leaves. Your mother has always been your mother. When I grow up and you change, my feelings never change. Whatever happens, it doesn't change."

"Your mother has always been my mother! Hey, I like it!

However, Stella's words were not commonplace. That's the strong will that sprouted on her because she's a foster parent. Stella Wallace had strong feelings about her role as a mother.

Stella had a cup of love in her eyes to keep Lili from feeling a little sad when she was abandoned.

"Your mother is a special person. Unlike the others."

"No, the devil is not loved by humans, is he? Even Bell is. If you know the truth, everyone will leave you."

"No, Mama and Belle, they're not like that! You can only think lonely. It would be nice to have just one person who understands. Not even one of them is with you. How many things can you possibly know about me!

⁉ ︎

Lili's will was unwavering. At first she was about to be swallowed up by Lilith's words, but since I remember Stella, she has a powerful look on her face as if people had changed.

The memories of a distant day gave Lili unwavering faith and no clearance for the heart to be invaded by darkness. No matter how much Lilith confuses me, Lilith's will doesn't change anymore. I can't change it. Lili has been and will continue to be for Stella and her irreplaceable companions.

"I am not swallowed by darkness. I accept everything about me. If we don't, we can't move on. The light, the darkness, the good and the bad... all turned upside down because it's me."

Resolute, its powerful words scratched out the giant Lilith. Lili, who accepted everything, took control of her darkness.

The darkness that had covered Lili's sight until just now was completely gone. Lili's flesh, long invisible since Lilith appeared, is also now clearly present in front of her.

All you have to do is return Lili's magic body to her flesh.

……………

Lili's walk was powerful. Being a magical body, she shouldn't be able to feel her weight or anything, but Lili felt the weight of every step of the way. When the magical body returns to the flesh, Lili steps onto a path she can never turn back. It makes you feel a weight that can't be compared to anything else.

Lili now is decidedly different from Lili before. Lili's vision of reaching her own flesh was taken abruptly. That was an unprecedented change.

Suddenly drawn into the dark, Lili opens her eyes, terrified, slowly. If this still hasn't been able to return to the flesh, Lili doesn't have the power to exchange it anymore.

In the girl's eyes is Ashley's room the same as before. I can't find my own flesh anywhere, which should have been in this room until just now. I mean...

"Looks like you made it! What do you think, now you can feel your magic?

"My body... hot? I've never felt like this before."

Lili's magical body returned safely to her body.

The inexhaustible magic that once out of the body, returns to the body, finally awakens to sleep in Lili. Attacking Lili's body is a feeling she has never experienced before. It's a tremendous amount of magic gushing from the depths of the body.

"The way people feel about magic is different, but your magic is so enormous, maybe it feels like heat."

"Ugh...... hot. Looks like my body is burning..."

"Alas... maybe we should have taken a few more steps before awakening the magic..."

Lili's magic beyond imagination had brought suffering to her. Lili feels too much magic as heat. Lili had a distressed look on that burning fever.

For what I had never felt any magic in myself before, I guess Lili was not equipped with the resistance to the magic present in her body.

"... irrepressible."

At the next moment, a magic burst broke out that kept gushing in Lili. A frightening number of Ibarras emerge from the girl's surroundings, covering Ashley's room.

"Dangerous."

"Wow, wow."

Countless Ibarras strike Allen, regardless of Lili's will. Ashley, who did not miss the look of it, went into an aggressive action to protect Allen.

Bread, bread...

When Ashley rang her hand twice, the killing doll (Slaughter Doll) instantly moved and stood by Allen's present. Slaughter Doll flips herself and waves a blade at the hitting Ibarra.

However, no matter how many times a slaughter doll (Slaughter Doll) slashes it off, Ibarra appears indefinitely and strikes a non-Lili presence in this room.

"This power is more than I ever imagined..."

Taking a heavy look at the situation, Ashley scratched Ibarra's onslaught and rushed over to Lili's. Unless we stop Lili's rampage, we can't stop the rampant Ibarras.

Moving quickly to Lili's present, Ashley stabbed Lili's neck with a knife.

Then, the power fell out of Lili's entire body, and she fell into the spot.

At the same time that Lili fell, the rampant Ibarra was also dropped on the floor without one remaining. When Ibarra's assault converged, the Slaughter Doll stopped moving along with it. Slaughter Doll is really mechanical.

"It's hard to have an apprentice."

Ashley, who had converged on the matter, took a breather and stared at Lili, who had fallen in.
