The Branded Female Fencer

Miranda and the others watched that whole end-of-life exchange from behind. I couldn't fully grasp what had happened, but for now there was quite a blast, so everyone accidentally turned their ears off reflexively.

After a few seconds of defense, he flutters closer to Alphilis, even as he remembers his own tinnitus to an awesome explosion. The lifeless surroundings are already smoky due to an awesome explosion and I can't see.

"I did it, Alfie."

Miranda finally speaks to Alphilis about it.

"Maybe... I confirmed I hit him directly, so if you just ate that without defensive witchcraft, it shouldn't be safe. I guess he tried to chant defensive magic because it was dangerous."

"Did you do the math?

"Of course. I thought if you were the greatest magic of power, you'd cast some sort of chanting magic, whether it's offset or protected. Two unintentional hits at that gap in a row. You just won't be able to handle it. Because no one will think that magic occurs in a space where there is nothing. Even more so if you have a long experience as a magician."

Alphilis answered flatly, but Miranda knows she did something pretty amazing. When and where did you train like that?

"Even Alfi is a magician, isn't he? When did you train?

"I forgot, Miranda. Because I was natural and I could use witchcraft, it took me long to be conquered by the Church of Witchcraft? Then it was sealed, and my master taught me how to use witchcraft, but I've never practiced it."

"Huh? Then how..."

"Wait!

Alphilis controlled Miranda's words. And I concentrate on dirt smoke. A rushed look gradually began to appear on that look.

"Alfi, no way..."

"No way..."

"... uhh... I'm sincerely surprised... let's praise you honestly, Alphilis..."

I hear a lifeless voice out of the smoke. Smoke isn't clear yet, but apparently there's no significant damage to be seen from that voice.

"... jokes are tough. What the hell is that guy?"

"... I'd love to hear that."

"... fought numerous enemies... those whose magic jumped through, those who use unique sorcery, those who use magic... but no one handled sorcery so well... kukukukukukukuku, hahahahahaha!

Suddenly I heard a loud laugh out of the smoke as my sanity slipped out of the look of Miranda and Alphilis or something in incredible reality. At the same time, smoke is pushed by massive winds of magic and blown away.

"Hih."

Who was the voice that leaked. But whoever saw the lifeless now must have felt the same inside. Anyway, Lifeless, who appeared out of the smoke, had no right half. But blood doesn't erupt, it's purely empty. The abyss of the part that Alphilis blew up cracked like glass, as if the person depicted on the stained glass were going to keep talking. And as I dropped the paint on the missing part, the lifeless body is soon restored back to normal.

Alphilis, who sees him, grinds his teeth.

"Lifeless, you are"

"As you can see, I have nothing."

Lifeless that hits and turns into an unusual tone. The tone was subtle and yet heavily intimidating.

"A long time ago, when I was born with a rare magic like mine, I tried to excel at witchcraft. The training went very well, and with each passing year I practiced my magic as I wished. But I guess sad, people's lives are short. I was about to reach life expectancy before I could reach my extremes, which I had yet to see."

Alphilis answers nothing. The same is true of being pushed by lifeless pressure, but desperately trying to restore a little magic.

"So I showed him the whole story. I built a certain sorcery and brought my life to an unlimited eternity. As a result, I saw the extremes of an individual named myself. But"

Lifeless slowly closes his eyes.

"Conversely, I have no more enemies. The dilemma of having dreamed so much of pursuing and the power in your hands... yet not having enemies that just shake it up. This is very painful, you know?

"... I don't even want to know."

Alphilis told him to throw up, but Lifeless just smiled thinly when he heard the answer.

"Give me this realm, too, and I'll see. It's vain to have no one to fight... but!

Lifeless magic began to swell further. Alphilis can offset the pressure to some extent with his own magic, but Lisa and Kazas without magic are like being exposed to a storm. I'm desperate to stick to the ground, just as it's tough to be sitting.

"Alpha Reese! It's been a long time since you've found someone you could possibly fight, huh? I'll give you permission to fight me!

"Permission? What are you doing, lifeless?

"What... what do you think?? It used to be my, no, just asking my name, even the Demon King escaped! Hahahahaha!"

A laughing lifeless figure deforms into an adult. It adapts to a changed, no, undone personality to say, and turns into a belligerent look to appearance. Eyes glow sharply like a raptor, my strong looking nose and mouth full of myself. They can be summed up into a straight face.

And as he ripped off the black robe that was wrapped around him, his torso became nude and he saw something like a large, engraved post-burn wound on his chest. That looks like a dragon.

"Since when do we fight with all our might... when we defeated 100 demon kings 700 years ago?... oh, did you ever destroy the army of the Great Demon King 500 years ago?"

"Give me the Great Demon King...? Stop joking!

Alphilis denies the stunned fact that Lifeless tells him, but Lifeless stared at Alphilis and snorted in a grumpy manner.

Unfortunately, I don't like jokes.

"So you're stronger than the Great Demon King?

"Kukuk, you want to give it a try?

"Superior!"

"700 years ago... after a burn that also looks like a dragon... like I heard somewhere"

Miranda is thinking next to Alphilis boosting his magic again. It's not really the other way around, but I don't feel that the questions that have arisen in my chest are very important. I notice a lifeless look at Miranda like that.

"Do you care who I am, woman? So let me give you a hint... I'm supposed to be able to use six sorcery systems."

"Six kinds..."

I see Miranda lifeless with incredible eyes.

"Lifeless is a true name. When I was working as a human, I had a different name. My men tell me that lifeless people don't get along well. What was my name when I was working as a human?"

That's it, Miranda noticed. The face is the expression of seeing the incredible. Because.

"Hero King... Graham"

"And that's the thing"

"Graham the hero?

Alphilis was also surprised by this. And even Miranda, who was modest, went on the spot.

Hero King Graham - a legendary figure famous for his many legends (saga), who knows nothing about the continent. The bard competes for how well he brings up his story, the knights make it their supreme pleasure to serve him, people are braved by his presence, and children grow up listening to the anecdote in their bedtime stories. Even Alphilis and Fenna, neglected to take care of themselves, know the story.

Ugh, I was from a civilian, but only 10 years old, weak crown, 20 years old, and I was interested in the country. When he was only 15 years old, he defeated the army of the Demon King by following a meagre offering. By the time he died, he ran 1,000 battlefields and won all that battle. He dealt with 100 demon kings and succeeded in defeating all demon kings in that spectacular battle. If you count that glory, there is no point.

Now it is the legendary figure who stands in front of the Alphilis and the others. And as a magician, he is also said to be the greatest powerful man of all time. And immortal - Miranda couldn't help it. No, rather because she lived long and was familiar with history from Arnelian material, she knows how many men are in front of her.

And grab Alphilis' sleeve with her trembling hands. The face was like a frightening girl.

"Alfi, Alfi... no, you can't fight that one. Let's run."

"Don't be silly! You have to try."

"I can't, I can't believe I'm fighting a legendary figure"

"Whatever you can't do, you have to do it!... because it's impossible to escape."

Not just Miranda, but Alphilis' face was pale as well. But we know very well that we cannot escape. Fight immortal and most powerful beings within a confined space - there will be no worse situation.

And slowly the lifeless approaches the Alphilis and the others. Miranda backwards with half a tear in her eyes, pulled into its hands and the alphilis also drops. But unlike Miranda, who was already frightened, Alphilis squeezes his best of energy and asks Lifeless.
