"Guidance...? Well, then you're in danger."
"If my magic doesn't work, I'll die anyway."
"But!"
"Can you guide me? Can't you?
Knock wobbled with force without telling me.
"... you can. If you change your life, you will succeed."
"Go."
Ha!
Knock kicked the ground and ran.
The forest eater stops with a sudden brake a hundred meters away and looks around. Even where the lights are scarce, the trees are falling and the dust is soaring.
"Suu--ha--"
Sweat sprays all over your body, and Anastasia takes a deep breath.
Knock, ahh, if I'd let go of what I said, I'd have fallen off my knees by now.
About 40% more magic remains in my body. I used it a lot in early summer birds.
Simply put in one piece of residual magic - you'll be able to use more powerful magic than ever before.
In the Lev Magic Empire, I have used magic since I shot magic at monster opponents who fell from the crack in the sky, but I am more accustomed to handling magic than then, and I am even more focused.
(Calm down... calm down)
Far away, I can hear Knock calling out to his friends. Lead the way and let the High Elves crush you.
(Spit out all the magic that sleeps deep inside me.....)
I feel the surrounding air changing.
Anastasia didn't know because her eyes were closed, but now she was shining golden and the heat seemed to melt too thinly.
(... nh, it's not working...)
The magic is out of control. As always, he's violently asking me to let go freely.
It's like making a small ball of fluffy cotton confectionery in the strong wind. The magic spills one after the other, and if you try to collect it, the magic you collected earlier will be scattered.
(What if I don't make it in time....)
I'm in a hurry.
Knock has already successfully fired a bow and arrow at the Forest Eater with his allies to draw attention.
The forest eater shook the trees whose nose had not collapsed when he snorted angrily.
(Ah, magic, magic, magic, my magic, why...!
The earth resounded.
The forest eater runs.
(I have to hurry, but I can't...)
Focus is disturbed. The magic you were trying to concentrate so hard was trying to escape.
I'm just step-by-step.
I heard Anastasia's faithful voice in my ear.
—— No matter how long the journey takes, it's all made up step by step. I can only walk for sure. [M]
I think so.
(Reiji also said that even that Reiji can only do it little by little.)
You asked him yourself.
--Will I go one step at a time?
and.
He made a little surprise and then smiled gently, saying:
- Of course.
Anastasia concentrates with her eyes closed.
Gather the magic that escaped again. One by one. Just a few, one by one.
"Hi Elf!?"
The sound of the earth was always close and intense.
You can hear knocking's surprising and cautious voice.
(Not enough yet. Not yet, not yet)
Anastasia compresses magic. The speed was madly slow, but the magic did gather.
Hi Elf! Over there, Forest Eater is coming!! "
More magical compression than I've ever felt before. Anastasia is amazed and moved by a completely new experience.
Even if I thought I couldn't, if I could, it would feel like a normal sight.
——!! ————!!
Finally, I couldn't hear Knock. Because the roar that the Forest Eater runs clears up.
"--Ready"
Anastasia opened her eyes ten meters away from the Forest Eater.
A gust of wind erupts around her, whirling around.
It was a pure white sphere with more than one hug that appeared at the front of both hands. The sphere sweeps up a mellow flame and when ejected like a bullet, it collides sharply between the eyebrows of the forest eater.
————
Someone may have screamed something.
But I couldn't hear a sound.
In a silent world, Anastasia watches what she has accomplished.
An explosion occurs, knocking down a tree that was still standing with shock waves. Anastasia's body flew behind her, but as she rolled over the ground for several meters, she raised her face.
We have to keep an eye on him till the end.
The fire bulb, which stopped the overweight forest eater from rushing, remained between the goats' eyebrows and rotated to burn their faces.
It was a forest eater with most of his face burned, but he was struggling against the fire ball with his limbs.
————————————————————
Roaring alongside waterfall-like yodare.
When the forest eater twisted and shook his neck, the fireball finally moved away from his face and flew far back into the night sky - a huge fireworks explosion.
The flame from the explosion lasted for some time and the surroundings were illuminated white.
………………………… …… …… …… ……
Forest Eater's body was burning everywhere. Maybe the flames were scattered without realizing it.
But...
(Standing...)
My face was burned, my eyes were burned, and it was white and cloudy. I may have poor vision.
Even more trembling legs were about to bend.
Still standing.
(Could not defeat.....)
Anastasia's chest is filled with deep regret.
I've done this. I was satisfied that I could only do it, but beyond that, regret spread.
Tears spill.
I couldn't beat him. The dark elves' settlements were destroyed, and perhaps many wounded, but they couldn't defeat themselves.
…… …… ……
Forest Eater is staring at Anastasia.
I'm sure he won't forgive himself. There's no way you can leave yourself trapped like this.
The Dark Elves were not nearby. It seems to have been overflown by the aftermath of magic.
Slowly, the forest eater stepped out.
Instead of blind eyes, my nose snorted and approached.
(I have to move... but I can't move a finger anymore...)
Anastasia can't stand still.
Would it be easier to accept death as it is?
Can you forget your regrets when you die?
(Last but not least... I wanted to see Reggie...)
Maybe it was because of that, Anastasia hallucinated.
Reggie licked my head. And then...
"Well done."
And it's tickling--
"... Mr. Reggie?
Feeling the warmth, Anastasia opened her eyes.
You can't be here.
Because he's heading to a distant Dragon City.
"Thank you for waiting. Leave the rest to me."
But the presence of the boy there was undoubtedly real.
Ah--a silent voice leaks out of my throat. No more magic, no more sparks.
Still, only emotions are filled with mad pleasure, love, and joy.
You came.
He saw where he was fighting.
That's all —— it felt like everything was rewarded.
Rage, who stood up slowly, turned his angry gaze to the Forest Eater.
I'll take care of the last one.
