We're moving on to the prep phase.

Second round. This time it was our defense and time to set up the flag. Of course, there will be plenty of time to build the delayed magic "Delay".

Delay magic "Delay" has nothing to do with this time because I'm not ready enough.

I'm sorry for Amelia and Ariane, but there's nothing I can do with all this.

This time, the location of the flag to be installed is not a strange place.

If we get this far, until we aim to win. For this reason, the place to install it is the deepest room on the top floor. It was used many times during this siege, but it still takes the most time from the entrance.

In addition to that, even if you took the flag, it would take time to take it outside in the same way.

If it's defense, it would be natural to choose here, which is the stone Theory.

But why not? Swirling in this chest, anxiety.

"Ray, we're all set."

"What's wrong? Something's wrong."

When Ariane and Amelia come back, they peek into my face worried. It may not be necessary to say this because it is only a hunch, but the sharing of opinions will be important.

So I decided to be honest with myself about my anxiety.

"It's not like there's anything in particular. But I have a strange anxiety..."

"Anxiety, are you?

"I'm not anxious. But me too, the game just now catches on...... maybe a fabric stone to this second round or something?

"Maybe. But I can't help thinking about it."

I don't have time for this already. Even if I keep thinking about it, I won't have a choice.

That way, we're in place.

For this placement, Amelia and Ariane were on the third floor and I waited alone on the dance floor on the fourth floor.

You'll need to stop either Lucas-Folst or Evie and Albert first.

To be honest, I'd like to avoid fighting Lucas-Forst, but there's nothing I can do about all this.

Besides, if you win here, the victory is confirmed.

Even if I can't do it slightly, I should stop.

Also this time, they are focusing on the first and second floors to deploy the delayed magic "Delay". I don't have to be so aware of the latter already, so I lay the delayed magic "Delay" the most powerful of all the games I've ever played.

Amelia is also asked to prepare Extensive Chain, a large-scale chain of witchcraft.

This would buy us quite a bit of time.

As a flow, buy as much time as possible on the ground and second floors. And I have an orthodox development where two Amelia and Ariane deal with each other on the third floor and I deal with the person who's been diving through it...

Although it is an operation that has been used several times in previous games, it was often stabbed because of its simplicity. Nothing, it doesn't mean we just have to employ bizarre maneuvers.

It's important to make sure you choose the most probable option.

"... has it begun"

A big siren goes into my ear.

The second round of the final, which finally began. If we get past this place, the victory is confirmed.

And I'm waiting for you on this occasion... but I feel like something's wrong.

Originally, it is not surprising that more magical signs have appeared to deal with the delayed magic "Delay" on the ground and second floors.

Specifically, it was only natural in previous matches that the first material, Prima Materia, could be overflowed and felt up to this floor.

But there is only silence at present.

Quiet as if there was no one in this castle.

What the hell is going on here... Should we expand and check the absolute inviolability realm of Antimaterial Fields?

But now I... I'm using my magic territory pretty badly by fighting Lucas-Forst. Given the later battles, I'd like to keep it warm... but this place will be unavoidable.

And I'm rolling out the absolute inviolability realm of Anti-Material Fields.

At the same time, he felt the impossible.

"─ I knew you were good. That's why we win this time."

Ba and look back. Then it was Lucas-Forst that was there. I couldn't feel the signs at all.

No, I was able to realize it by expanding the absolute inviolability realm Anti-Material Field.

There was already a flag in his hand. But it can't be. There must be only one staircase in front of me.

How did you get here?

No way...... that's what the earlier game was about?

Confirming, there was a hole behind him where only one person could pass.

Does that mean you've been drilling holes to get through it from the ground floor?

I thought about that once too, but it's still hard to get down, climbing would be tough using magic. It is that which must be able to use magic such as floating in the air or instantaneous movement. But in modern magic, I don't know of any magicians who have reached that realm.

I didn't think it would arrive even if I jumped using the internal "Inside" code... it was out.

I don't particularly touch the rules either, but that's stronger on the side that no one can do that.

The opponent is one of the seven greatest sorcerers - the [Unswept Sorcerer].

Perhaps all the earlier games were ready to do this. I purposefully threw it away for one round because I was convinced I could win here.

But this can't be done unless the conditions are in place for us to set up a flag here.

No. Probably expected me to let you take the first round at your leisure and install it at this deepest point on Stone Theory Street.

You should have expected it to go beyond my expectations.

If this happens, all you have to do is make sure they don't take that flag, or make your opponent incapable of fighting.

Okay, excuse me.

So he goes straight down that hole. When you go down, it probably won't take longer than coming up because you just have to control the landing.

And then I go through the same hole as him, trying to follow him.

- Are we gonna make it? No, I'll make it!!

As I descend, I tell Amelia and Ariane that I will extend my voice by magic.

"The flag has been taken!! Both of you, come down here!!

Leaving those words behind, you arrive at the dance floor on the first floor. When landing, look ahead as you drain the momentum.

Lucas-Folst was on full sickness, running straight through the castle. If we're still at this distance, if we're serious, we'll make it. But of course, Albert and Evie show up in front of me so I can get out of my way.

"Ray, we're not letting you through here, are we?

"But it's already... it'll be too late"

You should run between them all at once and go after him with the flag as it is...... it was already too late.

Only for a moment, the moment they were distracted and stopped his legs, Lucas-Forst saw him go outside the castle.

Perhaps its full speed is comparable to mine, or more.

At the time the flag was taken, this round was never won or lost.

And ruthlessly, the siren sounded.

"The winner is, Team: Forst"

Got hit. Probably was totally after this.

And so I stood up on the spot and thought at the same time. What's the point of bringing it all the way up to the final round after using the ambush on purpose?

Maybe the other guy...

"Ray!? What the hell happened!?

"Uh... are we done? Isn't that some kind of mistake...?

They both look stunned and come closer to me... but the second round is already over.

"Perhaps the first round was getting ready for this one. But if you think about it, it's a tactic that can't be made unless you expect us to put a flag in that position... throw away the first round lightly and make room here. That way, I'm sure he thought he'd put the flag in the safest place and definitely come and get this round..."

"Oh no... it was all what they thought, for chrissake?

"Sounds like it."

Behavior after grasping this psychological state. This ambush, once used, will not work the rest. But once, it works.

This is how they were to be brought in until the third round...... perhaps the primary purpose is to make each other's terms the same?

Team: Olgren. Team: Forst.

We were to proceed to the final round with little wear and tear from each other. If we fight the first and second rounds directly from the front, they will both remain worn out.

I mean, you wouldn't lose if you were on Even's terms... maybe that's what you think. Or did you think from the beginning that it would be unfavourable if it were a war of attrition?

He would also have hated Amelia's karma butterflies (butterfly effects). Though limiting, her it can be activated intermittently.

I was also thinking about crossing the round, but you also want to keep it to a minimum to accommodate the causal butterflies (butterfly effects)... I mean, you want to keep this trump card sealed until the final round...

and reflect in the brain, but everything is no longer a later festival.

The rest of the round, we just have to bump into each other directly from the front.

"... both of you. Apparently, the final round just has to bump into each other directly from the front"

"Looks like it."

"Right. I can't help dragging you here."

And the team outside the castle: Forst's three and his gaze intersect.

There was nothing at all happy about the successful operation. Rather, the battle is just an atmosphere to say from now on. I can't even feel fine dust, such as alarm.

Keep your mind tight, you'll definitely be in the final round.

Then you'll have to take it and stand.

This is how the final game unfolded, and it was going to go all the way to the final round.
