"Even so, I can't forgive you. You're trying to create the Alchemy Doll and change the world."

From what I've just told you, the inability to reveal who you are is probably in conflict with the laws of the world.

Unlike me, he's trying to break the world over time.

"What kind of man are you to preach to me? I've lived in this world longer than you, and I've achieved my goal of creating new magic and reviving Lyrium."

"Can't you see that a doll without a soul is worthless? I guess I just despaired of the world and ran away to the Alchemy Doll."

Arus severely distorts the face of the virus.

My words seem to have touched me. [M]

Ars raised his right hand and signaled the virus catching Celestia, causing the monkey to come off.

"Celestia, did you hear and understand the conversation?

"... I don't know what that means. Aren't you King Iris?

"I must be the one who ate the virus with you. However, the contents are from the parallel world of Ars Ditland. And your squire there, Wallace Sai, he's the same Als Ditland."

Celestia opened her eyes and glanced at me instantly.

"You didn't hear anything, did you? I would never talk. He's been fooling you all along. I was reincarnated by a man named Wallace Sai to create resurrection magic, and I was using you to crush me. What do you think about that?"

I don't know what Arus is aiming for.

But I know exactly what I'm trying to do.

He's going to drag me down to his own situation.

"... Walrus... what we're talking about is true..."

Celestia's trembling voice, whilst being swept away by the wind, managed to reach her.

Arus watches the situation with pleasure.

"Oh, it's true. I remember when I was Ars Ditland."

"Why didn't you tell me... answer me, Wallace?"

For the first time, Celestia asked me a question about my past.

With a weak voice, a strong will is transmitted through the Blood Deed curse.

You can say it's the strongest order I've ever had.

"... I exist as a Wallseye. I decided I didn't have to tell you because I didn't intend to live as Ars, that's all. I live now to protect Celestia. Defeating Arus in front of me is nothing but my fault."

"Hahahahahaha! Are you going to go through this period of tricks? You have Fiel with you. That is nothing more than proof that Ars is alive. So you think you can convince him?

Ares was so sure that my relationship with Celestia had collapsed.

Naturally, I was prepared to talk about it.

However, Celestia sighed with a dazzling sigh and returned to her usual expression.

"If so, it won't be a problem. You're a Wallseye, nothing else."

I wasn't the only one who was surprised by this answer.

It was Arus who was more surprised and angry than I was.

Ars pushed his right hand toward Celia, and the virus twisted Celia's arm accordingly.

"Khh...!

Arus stared at Seretia's angry face with cold eyes.

Celestia's unexpected reaction is a boring expression.

"So you think I'm convinced? That's enough strength."

"... nobody's strong. Wallace is my guardian. That's what Wallace really meant, because I strongly ordered him to speak only his heart. Even the same Arus doesn't look like you."

I suppose you didn't have the information that I was tied to a blood curse.

In Celestia's words, Ars looks surprised for a moment.

"─ ─ How do I explain that I still have Fiel with me? I can't escape."

"That's not true!

A powerful voice, similar to Fiel's crying, encloses the courtyard.

"Mr. Walls... told me that to live as Mr. Walls, my memories of the past would be in my heart. I will not be treated as Ars either."

"I don't even know what you're talking about... but I still feel like I'm different from that Fiel I loved."

The air surrounding Ars suddenly changes.

"Now, let's get down to business," says Arus. "When he starts chanting, the magic of the virus swells up.

"What are you gonna do?"

To my question, Ars smiles lowly.

"You said I ran away to the Alchemy Doll, but then you naturally completed the Resurrection Magic? I've been studying souls for 47 years since I was reincarnated, and I've created magic to force the separation of souls from the flesh for a while after they die. It's a waste of time waiting for the experiment."

This is why we used the remains of monsters hours or days after death in our resuscitation magic experiments.

Immediately after death, the flesh that still has the possibility of resurrection accepts healing magic regardless of whether it is resurrected or not. Some try to evolve it as resurrection magic.

However, it can only be used in a state where the soul has not been separated from the body, so to speak, it is only imperfect magic.

Because the magic that I'm aiming to incorporate into the resurrection magic of the dead, even in the time regression system, unlike the restoration magic, only reacts to things that are completely free of souls.

"You're saying your research is going better than mine?"

"No, no, unfinished stuff, what's the point in not being able to do it? Until I heard you were a guardian slave, and I decided it was a great opportunity to use my doomed soul magic to prove your incompetence."

As Ars snipped his fingers, the virus loosened the rope that was tied behind Seretia's back.

While expressing anxiety, Celestia saw that Arus and the virus were not doing anything that would increase their magic abnormally, and ran towards us.

There's no way I won't do anything.

But I don't know what he's trying to do.

The best thing to do is to secure Celestia and get back to Fiel immediately.

So I thought, and as soon as I started moving, Ars' eyeballs began to move.

"It's time to humiliate me. Now, show me that all your 17 years have been in vain."

Reach out and you'll touch Celestia's fingers.

One more step and you'll be able to hug Celestia.

Whatever they do, it's not the distance they can reach Celestia right now.

"Wal.... s! …………

However, a bloody, wet blade penetrated the center of Celestia's chest.

It was behind the virus's right hand.

The sharply stretched arms were silver, just sharp blades, skewering Celia's heart.
