……
Dripping blood.
Without wiping it, Ray kept running on the battlefield. They rushed through the battlefield in such a way as to snugly stick behind Lydia.
We use ice swords with each other.
It has already become a symbol of this Far East battle.
Ice Sword Magician - Lydia Einsworth.
She had already begun to be called a hero. Slaughters many enemies and continues to support the front line with blood. Even if surrounded by a thousand enemies, Lydia can prevail by herself. She no longer has any enemies on a single machine comparable to a tactical weapon... I think so.
"Ray, are you done?
"Yes"
The surrounding world turned into an ice world on one side. Enemies trapped in the ice are already doomed. Ray saw such a body, but he had nothing to think about anymore.
I just hope this war ends soon.
If we compare the number of people killed to the number of people killed, the Royal Army will surely win. But that doesn't make any sense. Because this war will not end unless one of us surrenders.
After Howard's death, Ray was further sharpened. The heart never completely broke. Inheriting Howard's will, he is moving forward. Lydia did the same.
They have touched numerous deaths.
It includes not only enemies, but also the deaths of allies.
My heart has already been rubbed.
We both knew. In this harsh battlefield, it is unacceptable to have emotions, such as decent hearts. Just push yourself to death and work like a machine. That is the correct answer. Otherwise, I couldn't keep myself.
Ray, let's go back.
"Yes"
The existence of Ray is known to some of his allies. However, his presence has not yet been clearly communicated to the enemy. That's because all the soldiers who came into contact with Ray are dead.
Behind the hero, there is another strong enemy... that we didn't know about yet. Except for the Seven Sages.
That's how Ray continues today.
With unwavering determination engraved in his heart.
◇
A forest on the border.
Many fights have been fought here. It is not uncommon for a body to roll uncompletely.
There was a man walking in it.
He appeared not to be a soldier and was wearing a black suit. At first glance, I can understand that it is of good quality.
With his long brown hair tied back, he proceeded without expression.
Then I found the girl just ahead of my eyes. It was Fear who put the golden hair together at a high position on the left and right. Since then, she has been killing soldiers of the kingdom alone.
However, I will not engage Lydia or Ray. It was like hiding from the two of us, rising up.
And when he looked at each other ─ ─ Marius opened his mouth.
"Are you the Seven Sages?
Ask, and the front Fear answers.
"Oh, do you know? Looks like you're not an incompetent group either."
"Yes, I have a good teacher."
Ah yeah. So you're the seven greatest magicians. You "
"Yes, let me introduce myself first. My name is Marius Bassett and I am one of the seven greatest magicians. Also known as the Phosphor Magician."
"... phosphorus. As expected, there are seven other magicians on this battlefield, right?
"Come on, what do you think?
With her shoulders shrugged, Marius showed a trick. Feer stared at the state. Don't miss a single shot.
"You know that, don't you? Why is this war happening?
"That's right. You and I both have some kind of reach. And will it take sacrifice to open up the world truth...?
"... fufu. Fufufu! Yes! This is a battlefield for us! Ah... finally. The time to hunt the fish is finally over. Hey, are you going to entertain me?
Let's laugh.
Laughing uncomfortably, she opens her hands to express her joy. I don't care how many people I kill for a purpose. That's what Fear says. All the fights we've fought so far have been in the front seat.
The Battle of the Far East began when the Seven Sages and the Seven Mages collided.
"I was still a former teacher. I don't know how to entertain you, but I can teach you.
"What, are you gonna give me a lesson?
"Unfortunately, I won't tell you. From now on, we'll kill each other."
Primary material overflowing.
Marius' body was overflowing with golden particles. Fear smiles at it.
"Ahh... you're so strong... okay. That's great!
Distortion.
The space where Marius was was was distorted.
Many people have been killed by this. But Marius undone it without difficulty.
"I see. You seem to have some very vicious magic."
"... who are you?
Feer's leeway vanishes at once. I was sure I was going to take one with me in this attack. That said, Marius nullified the attack.
He's just a former teacher.
"Bullshit. There's no way you can stop me from attacking."
"Really? All phenomena have reason. If you follow that, there's a place to get there. At first glance, the magic we use appears disordered. However, it was exposed by the systematization of code theory. The world is made up of laws. But code theory is just a theory that keeps the truth away. My conclusion is that the essence is somewhere else."
"... don't tell me you know?
"Well, what do you mean?
Marius gently raised her right arm.
And when I grabbed the void with my index finger and thumb, I pulled it slightly to the right.
Moments. Pale flashes penetrated Feer's left hand.
"─ ─"
Blood falling from the ground up. She doesn't see Marius as a mere target anymore. I think it's more than just me.
A momentary event. But in this moment, Fear understands Marius' lack of knowledge. Phosphorous magicians clearly distinguish themselves from the other seven major magicians.
"... the magician of phosphorus. I couldn't get the most information from you... but you're in the closest position?
"End it. I don't know what you're talking about. But you die here. That's what I came here for."
A magical battle that can be waged.
Fear also understood the signs of Marius' magic, so he avoided a direct hit. On the other hand, Marius remained intact. Space is definitely distorted. And yet, it slips through as if there was no substance there.
I was starting to get anxious about the boulders and the feet.
"Be cool when using magic. This is the basics. Looks like you're in a hurry."
"Shut up!
Bark with emotion.
At first glance, the deadly attacks have not yet hit each other, so they also appear to be mutually reinforcing.
However, Marius had a spare expression, and Fear was anxious or sweating was beginning to soak on her forehead.
"What is death?
Marius moves forward.
"Why do we fear death? I think the answer to that question comes down to the instinctive part. But people find meaning in dying. What you have done so far, as if to trample on that meaning, is not acceptable. We cannot allow ourselves to continue to take lives at random. I can't make you cry any more."
Gently and gracefully. As if he were enjoying an afternoon, he walks slowly. It's like slipping through a distorted space.
"Well, you seem scared. Have you ever taken so many lives and finally understood the weight of being in that position? But don't worry. I don't imitate a lot. I'm just asking you to make amends. The sin. And I will be a sinner. By killing you ─ ─"
It was a quiet anger.
Marius remembers all the names of the teachers who died in battle. Looking at the list, he was immersed in memories of each and every one of them, weeping quietly.
It also included Howard.
A teacher who fought bravely until the end and scattered. Marius thought he had been outstanding since he was a student and would be a great magician in the future. But there's no Howard in this world anymore.
Carrying the crying, he confronts Fear.
"... shit!
Did she realize she was at a disadvantage or show her how to escape? But Marius is not like showing it.
When he opens his hands, he crosses them so that they connect with the dots. It was as if there was a line drawn there.
"─ ─ Isolation Sphere Completely Isolated Area"
Moments.
The world is eroding into pure white space ─ ─.
