The Black Forest (Schwarzwalt) is a forest surrounded by tall trees.

The trees growing have thick, long branches and large leaves.

Even during the day it will be dark because this is dense.

"Bat legions break in from all sides of the forest. But slowly."

"I understand."

Dick, who took my orders, flies.

The bats that made it "The Devil of Usage" see things with light during the day and ultrasound at night.

Even if this forest is dark, you can clearly see the movements of demons and people.

"Goshiju-kun"

After a while, Dick, who had gone to preach, came back.

"There were people -. He's falling."

"People? Are you some guy named Dorothea-Zamuels?

'I don't know - the three of you, I can't seem to move near the carriage -'

"Okay. I'll go."

I used my 'flying' skills to get into the woods from the air.

Guided by Dick, we head to the carriage that was reported.

There were -- there were definitely people down there. Three.

It's a dark forest, but I was originally called The Vampire King, so the night is good.

It was a man in a 'magic guild' robe who was falling. One is a man and two are women.

"It wasn't in the daytime report, was it? These people."

"I think I came to the woods after the reconnaissance -"

"… a decree. Circulate to Bat Corps. No more going into the woods, waiting for the status quo,"

"I understand."

Dick flies away again.

I went down from the tree branch to the fallen magician.

For once, cover your face with a cloth.

"Are you all right? Magic Guild Man!

".................. uhhh"

Speaking up, one of the women looked at me.

"Oh, you..."

"I'm here for a report. You're from the same 'Sorcery Guild' as me, aren't you?

I'm not lying.

I got a report from Dick, and he's a magic guild person.

".................. Dorothea-Zamuels........................ here. It's just... dangerous"

"Danger?"

"He tried to get the 'Necromancer Bishop'... in the contents of an ancient object..."

That said, the woman lost consciousness.

I'm not dead. When I put my finger on my neck muscle...... my pulse is weak.

It feels like you've been deprived of life.

"For now, 'body strengthening' twice, all the time"

I strengthened myself and then took on the magicians and put them out of the woods.

Gather the Bat Corps and turn two of them into escorts.

Write 'physical enhancement' on the remaining ten wings and the crest of attack magic, and you're ready.

"We all move forward together. If you feel an anomaly, get out of the woods immediately. That's good."

"'' It's a shiitake!

I took Dick and the others, and I went into the woods again.

The Alliance's top magicians were splitting up to look for Dorothea.

I guess that being here has gotten some information.

Then I was attacked and I couldn't move, it's natural to think.

So Dorothea isn't here anymore?

If you're here, why don't you run?

"... well, you can see that too"

I'm flying through the universe, moving on.

There's nothing unusual about Dick and the others. I'm not losing my strength, and I don't have the magic to hit the 'Against Magic Barrier'.

I pulled out the cane I put up on my hips.

When I said I was going to exorcise the demons, Rhodelia from The Grail Chamber of Commerce gave it to me.

The one I got before broke in the fight with Alek-Keels. I was in a hurry, and he only prepared one.

"Expand" Against Magic Barriers "─ Go"

Shiru.

The wand is flying ahead of us.

Me and the Bat Corps are going after it.

The silver wand is flying high, faintly reflecting the moonlight entering through the leaf gap.

Mark it, I fly through the woods.

Twenty minutes, but no anomalies.

Ten more minutes, and when I thought I'd go home...

Hmm.

"Bashi-jun!

"I know!! Everybody, wait!!

Me and the Bat Corps went down on the ground together.

At the same time, the gray light passes through where we were.

The preceding 'wand' was swallowed up by the light.

"Wand" automatically expands the shield of "Against Magic Barriers". It prevented the light from falling for a moment.

"─ What... is that?"

I pick up the wand.

The crest was gone. Besides, he's out of magic.

I was sucked of magic...... no, you're not.

Given the state of the mages earlier, they seem to have sucked on their very vitality.

"... vampire rays... do you feel"

The magician was down earlier because of it.

I don't know such magic.

"... sucks"

'What do you do? Oshi-jun.'

"Dick and the others stay away. If I give you a signal..."

I gave Dick and the others the operation.

Well, what do we do?

I don't mind leaving here.

When I went out in the middle of the night, I heard screams and accidentally came to The Black Forest (Schwarzwalt) because of it. I found someone who was down and helped. They said, "I saw Dorothea-Zamuels."

The senior magicians will come to The Black Forest.

But... it's troublesome if you can get away with it in the meantime. Besides...

"... it's not easy to let such lousy sorcery loose in a world where Iris and Martha are"

"Come out. Intruder."

From beyond the darkness, I heard a voice.

It's a woman's voice.

"You 'magic guild' dog. This is a good opportunity. Become the experimental bench for the ancient artifacts I inherited."

"Liar."

"... Shh?

"'Antiquities' shouldn't be used"

I said.

"I learned it in my guild." Ancient objects "were not used during the war. It's even sealed. What good would that do?

"............... oh yeah"

Beyond the darkness, the woman seemed to laugh.

"The 'ancient objects' were sealed because of that traitorous sage. but not everything was sealed. The strongest one - was only sealed incompletely. That's... that's it."

Hmm.

Something sounded moving.

Hmm. Hmm.

Ha, ha.

Is that armor?

No... I've never seen armor like that.

Appearing from beyond the darkness was a woman with something (...) pitch-black.

I don't know what to describe that 'something'.

It's twice the size of a human adult.

Horizontal width, maybe twice.

The whole body is made of metal. It's a person's body.

If you want to describe only the appearance, it's "decorated armor."

But I have two other arms growing on my back. It's glowing gray, and it's moving.

That color looks just like the "Vampire Rays" I just saw.

It looked like someone was in the armor.

I don't know.

All I could see out of the gap was my face. Relax, don't move a thing.

"'Antiquities' - 'King of Spirits (Lord = of =) Ride (Phantom)'"

said the woman.

"What the survival of our 'Sanctuary Church' has been telling us from generation to generation. By adding to this the spiritual body of the bishop, the most powerful weapon that moves indefinitely..."

"Activate" Flaming God Bullet (Ifried Blow) ""

Get out of the way!!

In the meantime, I tried shooting for my arm.

But... the flamethrower I fired was extinguished when I hit "Armor of Antiquities" - "King of Spirits (Lord = of =) Ride (Phantom)".

I haven't even been played. It just disappeared to be sucked in.

"No use."

"That's interesting. Is the trick of taking magic off the surface loose, as you just fired rays that take life? So" Ancient Magic "doesn't make sense to hit, and the top magicians fought, and they didn't have hands or feet."

"…… you, who"

"Who are you?"

"... I am Dorothea"

said the woman.

The opponent, hidden in the shadow of "King of Spirits Ride," reveals himself.

He has long green hair and a black robe.

Her eyes are slit and her mouth is smiling thinly.

Something... you were in your previous life. This kind of guy.

He looks just like the Saints who pushed Lyle to the head and came from behind him.

"The wise man of betrayal - the successor of the 'Church of the Sanctuary', who was doomed because of him - who is entrusted with the third new bishop"

"I know you're a pain in the ass."

"... trouble?

"I was wondering why you taught Gaiel-Wolfgang 'Necromancer Bishop Summoning'. But when I saw that" King of Spirits Ride, "I found out. Is that the type of 'ancient object' that uses the humans inside to move?

The person in the gap is calm.

Her face is also bright blue.

I've seen it many times in my previous life. It's the face of a dying man, losing his vitality.

"Let's assume. Based on the magic and vitality of the people inside, it's moving, and then the people used will die. I know I'm going to die, and no one wants to use that. So it's conceivable that you're controlling your spirit with magic or something"

"............... who are you!?

"But it's a hassle to do that every time. But not if you're a person possessed by a Necromancer bishop. The Necromancer bishop does not care that the flesh dies. You just have to possess another human being again. In doing so, you can manipulate that ancient object indefinitely."

"Kill him!" King of Spirits (Lord = of =) Ride (Phantom) "!"

"Dick!!

"It's activated!" Goddess Random (Force J Earth) "!! '

Shit!!

The ground rocked.

Countless rock spears pop out of the ground in response to the voices of the Dicks (...).

Earlier I wrote down the crest of 'Goddess Ranger' on the wings of every bat legion.

That's the magic Odette used to make rock spears pop out of the ground.

Dorothea-Zamuels works, though it doesn't go through with "King of Spirits Ride".

On top of that, if we fire simultaneously, the ground will shake.

We should be able to stop them from moving.

"Turned etc!!

"FOOOOOOOO!!

"Spirit King Ride" waves his arm.

Countless' rock spears' vanish as they continue to stand.

But I bought you some time.

I hide across the tree in that gap.

"There's no point in buying time. Mage Boy."

Yeah, and "King of Spirits Ride" waved his arm.

The tree breaks and blows up.

I move further across the woods as I roll.

"Give it up. Mage boy. This" King of Spirits Ride "was prepared to destroy the" Magic Guild ". Mage's natural enemies. No sword works, no spear goes through. A knight without a pair."

Indeed. My natural enemy.

A mysterious beam that takes away life and magic, versus a magical coating.

Maybe even if I let "Magic Blood" shine and "Erosion (Hacking)," they'll play it.

The only way to hack it is to scratch the surface and expose it to 'magic blood'......

"I can't help it. Do you have a weapon you can use?"

I broke my finger and sprayed "Magic Blood" on the ground.

"Summon my blood to the catalyst!

Draw the crest of 'Summoning Ancient Sorcery' on both hands.

Activate magic.

It's not Iris.

My family has another one.

If you can summon Iris, who received "Magic Blood," you can call him "Alice."

Something connected to me in "Magic Blood".

What gave me reincarnated life.

Something that has been soaking up my 'magic blood' for 200 years.

It's something that sucks in plenty of my magic and calls me 'My Lord'.

"Answer the summons and come here. My family" Holy Sword Lean Kaal "!!

"- - - You!?

Dorothea-Zamuels and "King of Spirits Ride" make a move.

Slow.

I've already pulled out my silver sword.

"Boosted" twice (double), dives into his nose - flashing.

"---------------------------------------!?

The "King of Spirits Ride" arm, fell.

I knew it.

You don't have to go through a sword or a spear, if it's an equivalent 'ancient object', you can kill him.

"What, what. I don't know. Ohhhhhh!? Why!? How can 'Spirit King Ride' be slashed!? Why!?"

"It's just aging."

I'm even more of a holy sword, and I'll chop off the extra arm of The Spirit King's Ride.

Now I can't shoot 'Vampire Rays'.

"So let me tell you something. Dorothea-Zamuels"

I put a holy sword in Dorothea.

"You say. About" The Sage of Traitors ". They all feel like someone I know well. I'm sorry, but let me ask you something."
