It was pretty critical to me... but somehow, I succeeded in capturing James alive.

Now I can make you throw up where Meir is.

If we keep James sealed in the Otem, we might be able to negotiate with them.

"I'm gonna have you throw up without hiding where Meir is and what you're after, James."

James was staring at me with a grumpy face, but his mouth accidentally distorted and shaped a creepy grin.

"Oh, say something funny. I'm not James."

"What..."

There was a strange magic move nearby.

Under the sea, no, under the sea.

I looked behind James, outside the ship.

What's the spiritual movement now... the magic of metastasis?

Understanding that much, I finally realized what had happened now.

"The substitution of the Spirit......!

"Goodbye, then. I had no idea we were gonna have to get this far before someone came out of the human race. You'll never see us again."

James, no, the newborn Spirit, unnamed, disfigured the human figure and became just a lump of green light, making an odd noise and evaporating as it was.

Spirit collapse.

They voluntarily caused the collapse of the Spirit and committed suicide by squeezing out the magic of the entire Spirit Body once and for all and moving it around the body, circulating a concentration of magic beyond the Spirit Body's tolerance.

If they kill themselves this way, they don't have time to capture them.

"Got hit..."

I bite my lips off.

It's not exactly James who's dead now.

A spirit made by the Spirit of James.

Count Jurem used his left-arm spiritual body to create a spiritual gem.

James is the other way around.

When he received the chaos return from me, he used the black blind spot of the chaos to create a ghost using a whole body of spirits other than his arms.

For guessing chaos return just before, I thought it was a cheap direct hit.

It wasn't.

I guess James condensed his spirit body on both arms and used chaos returns to poke my blind spot and detach it, multiplying it by impact and throwing it into the rear ocean.

The whole body, for the spirits, is not a matter of appearance or volume.

You must have found the spiritual body faint by reason.

Lizard tail-cutting by the Spirit would have been a lesser act for James to throw away the Spirit Body, but it would still be well and less than 30% of the total, for example.

I didn't think that being able to freely use the Spirit, which is supposed to be a peculiar phenomenon, would be a hassle so far.

The Spirit Body is a source of power for the devil.

This is what I did all at once without showing off how to get lost.

From the beginning, James would have acted narrowly on anticipating the timing and fleeing, not thinking of fighting properly while provoking me.

... I should have just captured James' Spirit, but I didn't even think he was going to use Spirit Collapse to take his no-time self harm.

If you can imitate like this, it's almost impossible to catch them.

Maybe we should have given up catching James from the start and stood around to make sure he ended up.

But... then I can't follow Mere's whereabouts.

"K, shit!

I run to the edge of the ship and point my cane at the surface where James would have used the transfer.

"আ ত ্ (Spirit) ব ল া (Speak)"

The water jumps, the cavity opens, and the light of the collapsed magic formation runs.

I thought if the form of the original magic formation could be reproduced, I might know where to transfer it... but on top of being incomplete, encryption is too difficult.

It may take time to solve it, but it's also difficult to be partial.

It would be impossible to follow if they were going through another point in the first place, nor do we know if James went straight after Count Jurem.

I meditate my eyes, floating behind my brain the magic formations of the transfer of Count Jurem and James that I have scratched off so far, transcribing and arranging them into the universe following my memories.

It's just full of holes because it can't be fully reproduced, and they all use advanced encryption.

There's nothing I can do about this.

At the very least, if we could figure out the coordinates of the destination, we might be able to string it backwards, but we can't do anything about it as it stands.

I lost my strength and poked my knee at the spot.

... Now we have completely lost our lead in pursuing Count Jurem while they take Meir away.

I can't laugh because this is the result of my escape because Kudr and Peter can't be trusted.

It has had the worst possible consequences.

"Meir......"

I've been doing that for a while with my knees poked.

But when I looked up, the moon "Din" was rising with light at the end of the sky, even though it was only an evening ago.

As the moon festival Dinmay is approaching, it has grown considerably.

I heard rumors, but it's a lot bigger than I imagined.

The size of the original moon Din should not extend far to the moon we saw in previous life, but does that mean that the moon Din is approaching?

It already looks more than five times bigger than usual.

And then there was a word hooked up in the back of my brain.

"The moon festival" Dinmay "was already the day after tomorrow. You've already done your part. '

I've fanned Gisele on Harbor Street to launch a raid, that's what Spirit Sims was saying.

I missed hearing it, not the other way around then... but it's the first time for them that the moon festival Dinmay means something.

I thought it was just a coincidence they moved during the moon festival Dinmay, but they didn't?

"No way......"
