When Melissa arrived, the northern part of the city was already covered in thick fog.With such intensity as whether ordinary people can see their stretched hands, people in the fog can only escape without even knowing which way they are running.

Not only is it thick, but it is also known from the color of the fog that it is not ordinary fog.

Dark green fog. There can be no natural occurrence of such things.

The thick fog slowly spread out from where it first occurred and swallowed the people there.

Buildings in the fog are not directly affected.

But the people left behind in the fog were affected.

"Haha!!"

"Blush!!"

The blacksmith's swinging hammer destroys the building, piercing the carriage where the spear in the adventurer's hand was parked.

It's not just the powerful.The ordinary people who lived there are also destroying the city without fleeing.

Only some people are really able to escape.If you can get out of the fog, the effects will disappear, but as long as you stay inside, you will be driven by destruction impulses from people with weak resistance.

Melissa looked at the view from the top of the building.

It is dangerous to move poorly without knowing the situation.

"What the hell...."

"It's terrible."

Melissa panicked with a magical sign behind her.

"Sorry, I don't want to be hostile to you."

Was it you?

Mercenary Misty appeared behind Melissa.

With her skills, she turned her flesh into a phantom and fled, and when she found Melissa, she turned it into reality nearby.There is no point in standing behind you.

Melissa, who had been detected beforehand, finds out who she is and calms down.

"Is there anything in this situation that comes to mind?"

The curse must have gone wild.

"Yes"

Melissa discloses as much information as she knows.

"- I see. Perhaps this is the result of a runaway spell that can change his appearance."

"Change appearance"

By wearing the fog, you change your appearance to someone else.However, because the shape cannot be changed, it cannot be changed to a mate with a very different skeleton.

It was owned by a person who worked as a fraud in legends.

Misty wanted the spell, so she knew more about it.

"Why are you so knowledgeable?"

"I'm involved in development, too."

"Eh...."

Well, that's an unintentional story.

Misty was rampaging with her skill.

But sometimes you get caught for failing.The objective of the captured opponent was to analyze Misty's special abilities and convert them into magical tools.

Illegal organization that makes efforts to complete magical tools, whether they are illegal experiments or not.

It was Misty who managed to find a gap and escape, but he was tortured to the point where he was caught.

Sometimes I thought about losing my life, but the people in the organization had no choice but to cooperate without allowing themselves to die.

"Still, I succeeded in creating a tool to change my appearance before I escaped.But it was incomplete. "

The boundaries between the object transformed into a price and itself become blurred.

Because of the misery of the Misty who was forced to cooperate with me, if I keep using it for a long time, I will be attacked by a strong destructive urge.

The destruction impulse is directed at buildings.

--I want to get out of here.

Misty's thoughts prompted destruction.

"That kind of thing....."

"I don't care.The organization that captured Atashi destroyed it. "

It was also a mercenary group for that purpose.

After fulfilling his purpose, he lost interest in the mercenary regiment and continued to work only to satisfy the desires of his companions gathered for outrage.

But Misty was worried.

"The spell seemed to have spilled somewhere, and I couldn't find it from the tissue.I didn't expect to be found here. "

"Could it be a spell with the same effect?"

"I know. The fog is filled with bitterness."

The fog is spreading as we continue the conversation.

If it spreads to cover the city as it is, all humans in the city will be devastated by the rush to destroy the city they live in.

"I'll tell you one good thing.It has a strange power, but it is no different from fog.It's a fog that loses its ability to transform and has to destroy the buildings around it. "

"Why would you tell me such information?"

"I just don't like him winning alone.If we leave this situation alone, one of the Pasryls will win. "

The cause of the noise is a spell.

Since it was Parsley who pulled the trigger, it was Parsley who caused the most confusion.

And it's true that I want you to do something about it.

"... there seems to be some confusion."

I knew there was a reason to ask Misty to resolve the situation, but now I had to deal with the situation first.

I understood that it was okay to recognize it as "fog" from the information provided.

It's easier if you recognize it strongly.

Fires magic from the wand, causing a strong wind.

Hee.

Misty was purely impressed.

Normally, if a strong wind is generated, it creates a large tornado that can swallow and blow off enemies, or it can be used like a bullet or a shell by hitting them.

Melissa also created a hemispherical wind wall.

However, it stays in place on that wall and becomes a thick wall.

A gradually spreading thick green fog - the cursed fog collides with the wind wall.

However, the wind wall prevented us from going any further.

"......!"

Melissa grips a wand that helps her activate her magic.

Even with her magic powers, it was extremely difficult to suppress the cursed fog.

"So, what are you going to do from here?"

"... some sacrifice is allowed"

Now the wind wall begins to shrink slowly.

At a fairly slow speed, the compression starts with the cursed fog trapped inside.

"No way...."

"Yes, I will press and hold"

"You know what happens when you do that."

The cursed fog already has a radius of one kilometer.Melissa can compress and extinguish by concentrating on magic control.

However, if it is compressed with the wind wall, the inner building will be crushed.Above all, there are people trapped with us.

"... to minimize the damage."

I chose to sacrifice hundreds of people in the cursed fog.

Are you sure?

There's no other way.

"... then I'll give you a little help."

"Eh...."

Misty disappears.

A minute later, she appeared on the roof of a building outside the cursed fog, with a man lying on her side.

"It's hard because it's totally violent."

Can you help me?

Ask Misty, who appeared nearby again.

"Well, even if you stick it in the fog, it will drive you crazy, so you need to go to the vicinity of the people who are rampaging through the illusion.And I'll take them out in disillusionment.There's a limit to the number of people you can take out at once, and there's a magical connection, so there's a limit to carrying dozens of people. "

Still, it was better than nothing.

"Hurry up, it's hard to keep it going for too long, so I'll compress it at the same pace."

"You do your best.I'll give you a little thanks. "
