"Commander Franz, the Imperial Capital is contacting us!"Looks like there was an attack after we left the Imperial City. "

"...... Hmm. I knew it...... but I can't take it anymore."The Light Spirit Church has some of the best hunters in the world, including Ark Rodin. "

Franz responds to reports from his subordinates with a tormented expression.

The preparations for accepting the Spirit Man's magician were well underway.Knights were deployed to the cities up to the Great Forest where the Spirit Man was, and Sage Cluster, a professor at the Zebuldia Magic Academy, who was bright in the Spirit Man's ecology, was also asked to cooperate.

I left the defense of the city to the hunters.Some people show difficulty in borrowing Hunter's help, but it is the result of making a calm decision.I will do everything in my power to stop the prophecy.

Holy Thunder of the Stars had already entered the forest.All Franz could do now was bring home the magician and cleanse Marine of her cry.

No matter how powerful the organization, the members of [Nine-tailed Shadow Fox] could not break through the combination of humans, [Silver Star Lightning] and [Immutable] in a short time.There were many others who could do it.

It's a wonderful reading that uses the experience of when the airship was dropped and takes that stupid man's thoughts into account.

Franz, nodding to his clever eyes, said with a puzzled look to the men who came to the report.

”No, no... that's... there's been a lot of damage to the Imperial Capital...” Franz was chasing the curse around the sky, calling out the name of the Commander. ”

"............ Ah?"

§ § §

Bad. Bad.

Your heart is about to rupture.Perhaps looking in the mirror now, Tino's face was more pale than ever.

Driving desperately through the sky of the Imperial Capital.From behind, the Spirit Curse Man was approaching with avalanche-like momentum.The constant crushing sound vibrates and shakes the brain.

I'm sure the Imperial City has taken a lot of damage.But if you get caught before that, you're definitely going to be killed.And once the Master was defeated, there was no one left to protect the Imperial City.

Ka-kun, who showed speed like a gust of wind, looked like he was already helpless.The clan house is just beyond my nose and eyes, but I don't know if I can hold it that close.

Even without turning around, I could see that the distance was getting stuck.Even though I was faster earlier, my opponent's stamina was low.

My throat was very dry from the start.The thousand trials that have been going on for a long time are as unbearable as ever.

Venting a soft voice on a hanging master.

"Mm, I'm caught up...... Ah, I'm catching up......"

"...... I had no choice. I didn't want to use this hand, but-- [Dog Chain (Dogs Chain)]!"[Bullet finger (shot ring)!] "

As if laughing at Tino's weakness, the Master begins to incite the Spirit Man.

No... no, I didn't.I just wanted some encouragement!

Just by moving the magic bullet and chain forward, the bouncing spirits growled.The density of the qi wrapped around her increased.

"N, nn, gen, ngh!!"

Tino was sure to hear the sound of the world collapse.The buildings that passed by crumbled.I had no idea there was such a curse that it had such a physical impact.

If you stop now, Tino's body will freeze and he won't move again. I can even remember such illusions.

It's a mission. It's just a sense of purpose that's driving Tino right now.

Tino gave me the ring because Master was being attacked.No matter what, Tino had to take the Master to the Clan House lounge and unlock Mikun.

I have been training so that I can unlock the lock calmly at any time, but honestly I was not at all confident that I could instantly open Mikun's key in the current conditions.

Mikkun's lock wasn't that complicated, but considering the difference in speed with the curse, I had little time to use it.For a short breath, maybe a dozen seconds?

To be honest, the master has bought too much Tino.But I can't say I can't.Tino told the master once that he was going to open it!

Focus your attention. One end of the Spirit Man chasing after him was thrown out of his head, and he stopped his body from trembling and calmed down his breathing.

Unlocking it is usually easy, and it should definitely work---.

It's a showdown. You can see the clan house.Hugh brought the box and it felt like he had fallen a long time ago.Where the hell did he get that stuff?

Jump into the lounge, jump off the carpet, and open the lock.Jump into the lounge, jump off the carpet, and open the lock.

Bumps and murmurs about what you have to do.Yes. Yes, I think so. Success is assured, Tino Scheid.Show your master the fruits of your trials!

I can see the broken lounge window.Thanks to Ka-kun's hard work, I was able to reach this point without being caught by the Cursed Spirit Man.

Now is the time to take a leap...

And, I must have stared at the front with preparation, when my posture suddenly collapsed.Speed stalls all at once.

Ka-kun!?



I was out of magic. By the time I realized it, it was too late.With a tremendous sense of dynamism, Ka-kun, who helped Tino and the others, became completely just a carpet, and his body was pulled by gravity all at once.

A lounge that flows far up. There is still a little propulsion left, but it is not high enough at all.

Failed. We should have abandoned Ka-kun and switched when we got close.Tino made a complete mistake, concentrating only on opening the lock.

Your falling body. The eyes of a rounded master.The Spirit Man coming from behind.

When I tried to scream, something hard pierced Tino's body from underneath.

Exhale slowly.A heavy shock that echoes down to the bone. It was something I'd been used to for a long time.

Almost reflexively, I grabbed Master's hand.Tino's body ascends greatly to the impact from below.Pink blonde flowed at the edge of the line of sight.

"Ugh... hey, you, get out of here!"It's dull! "

Thank you, sister!

I didn't feel any pain. Focus your attention.Passively and slip into the lounge.

She bounced around the floor and said with a spectacular smile, like a master who was rolling near Mikkun.

"Zero."

I couldn't afford to think of the meaning of the word.The Cursed Spirit Man clinging from behind descends into the lounge.

Tino rushed to Mikun, who was desperately left in the center of the lounge.

Open the lock. Open the lock.I'll open the lock, and I won't think of anything else.

The darkness erodes at the feet of the Spirit Man.Floors, walls, and ceilings.Darkness is coming.

No, I don't have time to open it.Such a premonition has passed through my mind, but I can't give up without doing it.

Then Tino stuck to the treasure chest and opened his eyes in surprise.

"The key... is open!"

The lock was rolling on the floor.Open Mikun's lid.Inside, it was full of darkness, as if it were following a narration.

It's your sister! Onee-san opened it for me beforehand!

It was your sister's job to open the locks.Then Tino's role is--

And so Tino realized that it was a terrible thing that was falling out of his head.

............ Is there a way to put this cursed spirit man inside Mikun?

"End, end, end, end, human!" You were the most hateful opponent I've ever met! "

The curse was calm. Mikkun wouldn't have accidentally entered the room.I could lift up the treasure chest and rush it, but Tino didn't lick the reality to the point that I thought it would trap the opponent.

Looking towards the Master. The master blinked his eyes like he was waiting for something.

It was not unusual to end up in such a dilemma.I want you to give Tino your blessing, if you can.

A cursed spirit man who walks like a demon.Suddenly, Marine's cry and Black Knight emerged from behind the Spirit Man and stood in front of the Spirit Man.

Marine was about to cry, not cry.

The Black Knight had a look on his face because he had an armor, but it probably looked quite familiar.The two curses were quite powerful by human standards, but they obviously fell a few steps further than the monster in front of them.

Looking at Marine's cries and the Black Knight holding the Demon Sword, the Spirit Man frowned.

That was all the Spirit Man did.

I didn't hear anything.Marine's cries and black knights are swallowed up by the black tentacles released from behind.

Terrible speed. Not a single blink of a thief, Tino.Perhaps Marine's relative cry and the Black Knight could not understand what had happened to her.

The most powerful curse I had left was to look at Master.

”R-ran... did you empathize with your weakness... or were you tied up? Is this the last resort? Cry Andrich”

The spirit person said quietly as he twitched and pulled his cheek.

The master used to say, "Spirits are beautiful, so I'm scared to be angry, except for Chris," but the face is so beautiful and terrifying that I don't think it is in this world.

"Wow... what a terrible thing to do to a fellow-"

Was this unexpected, or was it forced upon the master? - I held my mouth back.

Then ─ ─ Mikun's mouth remained open, and she was sucked upside down.

…………

The Spirit Man remained silent with his pull on expression.Tino and his eyes met, and Tino accidentally shook his head sideways.

Ah, I see, I see!My role was to... pull you out!I'll pull it up any way I can, if they don't kill me!!

The spirits' lavish shoulders tremble, and their appearance vividly vanishes. And ─ ─

"Ko, Koros...... make a fool out of me ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Huh!?"

- Roaring.

Your knees are shattered by the impact of your organs flipping over.

His figure collapsed into a dusty black liquid.

In front of Tino, who couldn't even scream, the liquid surged into Mikun's entrance with a turbid force.

The judgment was delayed due to an unexpected series.No... even if you make the decision in time, you can't stand it anymore.

The Spirit Man did not target Tino, but the black liquid contained Tino in an effective range near Mikun.

The body is slipping like a turbid stream.The frozen body makes it difficult to move, but it doesn't do anything to resist.My body was sucked into Mikkun with the curse.

Tino squeezed his last strength and shouted.

Onee-san, well ahhhh, I'm sorry, ahhhhhhhhhhhh!
