─ ─ Flora-Zamel viewpoint ─

Flora was in deep darkness.

I can't even see my own hands, in the bottomless darkness.

"... what happened to me..."

I remember diving into the fourth level of 'Elusion' with my people.

I've also been stuck in a mass ghost at a graveyard (graveyard).

After that, the whole ghost thing clings to Flora's "Replica Road"... and I don't really remember anything from then on.

When I realized, she was sitting in the dark.

"Replica Road," I guess I'm still wearing it. I don't remember taking it off.

"... I hate that one. If I had more power, I wouldn't have had to use that stuff."

My grandfather, Old Zamel, probably thought about Flora.

From a young age, it has always been.

My grandfather has done everything in his power to enable her to be a leading magician (...).

─ ─ The best environment is available.

─ ─ About the best master.

─ ─ I've been told to deliver the best results.

This is the result.

Flora is in the dark underground, just, grumbling.

The "Replica Road" created by the "Zamelites" was also unusable.

"I don't have the gift of a grandfather."

My grandfather, Old Zamel, was twelve years old and single-handedly stepped through the second layer of "Elusion" to get the position of "Class C Mage".

Everyone has been counting on Flora for pulling that blood.

The same thing is natural, because I am taught directly from Old Zamel, a Class A sorcerer.

It's unnatural that you can't - you're out of your hands.

The pressure on Flora grew even stronger after what turned out to be a 'C-Class Mage' in the same age.

His name is Yuki-Grossalia. He is a bastard of the local aristocracy.

When I heard about him, Flora thought, wow.

I can't believe I'm not even a sorcerer's blood muscle, but I can achieve that much.

I wonder what he's like.

I want to see you. I want to talk. I want to be friends.

Just purely, I thought that--

But the 'Zamelites' who took old Zamel did not allow it.

They wanted Flora to achieve more than Yuki-Grossalia.

─ ─ It's impossible for an old Zamel grandson to remain a 'D-level sorcerer' even though someone his age is becoming a 'C-level sorcerer'.

─ ─ How can Flora still remain a 'Class D sorcerer' when even the common son of a rural aristocrat has achieved results?

─ No, even the "D-Class Mage" rank (class) was obtained with the help of other magicians.

─ ─ The person has no power whatsoever.

─ ─ Shameless to just be in the 'Sorcery Guild' with my grandfather Seven Lights. ─

"─ Stop."

Words I don't want to hear come out of the depths of my heart.

I'm swirling like a turbulent stream, trying to crush Flora's consciousness.

"How could... I can't believe I've been told that much..."

Words that have never been said in reality can be heard from next to next.

Blocking my ears won't go away.

I don't even know if it's paranoia (already) or if someone is screaming.

─ Well, did you harass the boy?

- Alec Keirth put you up to this? That's an excuse.

You couldn't let that Yuki-Grossalia overtake you, could you?

─ ─ How unusual. Something that would also be the grandson of Class A sorcerer Old Zamel. Oh!

"... stop... stop"

─ ─ Hmm. You're losing consciousness. It's time.

─ ─ Let me use your magic and this armor.

─ ─ Does this say 'Replica Road'? inferior to the original, but would be a use.

─ ─ I'll be the gatekeeper for a while. Don't let the modern magicians vandalize you below the fifth level.

"... who!?" Who was it that got to me on this plane? "

─ ─ My name is Valuga, Third Priest of the Church of the Sanctuary.

"Of the" Sanctuary Church "- Priest!?

─ ─ I am worried about this era.

─ ─ It is unfortunate that such a heartless sorcerer as you is stuck.

─ ─ There's still a Varela "Church of the Sanctuary" ―, but ― Gagagagagagagagagagagahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!

"─ Hih!?

Flora-Zamel screams.

Her consciousness fades to Ghost's laughter and the sound in her head.

"─ No."

In fear, Flora-Zamel snapped.

"Before I disappear... I will... give him a proper..."

Flora-Zamel jerks off his teeth.

Connect desperately the fading consciousness.

Still nothing in her eyes. I don't know what's around me.

─ ─ Ancient apparatus and magical powers have transcended men, like you, the First Priest ― Me too ― haha, hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!

It was just a frightened laugh of a runaway priest in the dark.

─ ─ Yuki viewpoint ─

We were on our way to the temple to the west, as Ghost taught us.

It's a cemetery on one side.

There is fog over my head.

Beyond that, I can faintly see the ceiling. Quite a distance away.

Even my 'flying' skills won't arrive. That's really wide, this fourth tier.

Sometimes, harmless ghosts fly around the air.

"Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh," he says, raising his voice.

Those are the ones who have forgotten their words.

"Looks like the ghost of a pretty old age in the sky."

Walking back, Odette said.

Giselle protects the tail.

She stares at the empty ghosts, as she feared too.

"Even though it doesn't strike (probably), it's horrible......" My Road ""

"I guess what's up there is you're already losing yourself. It could be something older than the ghost in" The Sanctuary Church ""

"Is it the people of the 'ancient magical civilization' era?

"I'm interested... although I don't really want to get close"

It's been an hour and a half since I swept away the ghosts from The Sanctuary Church.

Finally, I began to see the temple in the west.

The fourth hierarchy is nothing else.

I can see why The Sanctuary Church stood on the third tier above.

The only building on this hierarchy is a temple that looks far away.

There's no other place to hide, no place to stand.

On top of that, there is only one path that leads to the third tier.

If there's no other way out, it's over when they plug it in.

I just have to get sun-dried in a place where there's no water and join the Ghost.

"Then I wonder who's in that temple"

"Priest of the 'Sanctuary Church', that must be the ghost"

"Is it the same thing that Yuki and Odette fought in the Guardian Knight Selection Exam?"

"I think so. He must have been possessed by Flora-Zamel's" Replica Road. "

I'm thinking about the operation.

Purify Flora-Zamel's "Replica Road" with my "Magic Blood".

Odette tows Flora-Zamel in "Ancient Magic".

Gisele is Odette's escort.

The Dicks Bat Corps keeps other demons and ghosts away from them.

That's it.

"You don't mind destroying Replica-Lord."

Odette looked at me and said.

"Prioritize only the life of Flora-Zamel. That's what I think. What about Yuki?"

"Naturally. Rescue is a priority. I don't care if you get in the way of a replica of 'Antiquities'."

"Got it. If Yuki even moves after she helps Flora-Zamel, she brings Ancient Sorcery to Replica Road."

"In the meantime, I will escort you to Odette."

"Nice to meet you. Mr. Gisele."

Odette and Gisele nod.

"What about Yuki? Do you use Black King (Lord of) Ride (Noir)?

"I don't want to show that to the ghosts of The Sanctuary Church."

"Why is that?

"They may know that ability. It's troublesome when it's taken care of, and vice versa, it's troublesome when they run away."

"Our purpose is to rescue Mr. Flora-Zamel..."

Odette seemed convinced.

"If Mr. Flora runs wild putting together" Replica Road, "" Black King's Ride "hurts her... or he could kill her, is that what you think?

"... don't read people's minds"

"Oh, was I right?

"Secret."

"Oh, well, when I see His Highness, I have to be proud. I read your" Guardian Knight "mind,"

"Iris is going to be in a bad mood, so stop it."

... Sounds fun. Odette. Totally.

You're even laughing at Gisele.

"Also, I'm sorry. My Road."

Gisele grinned to death,

"... I was wondering if" Village of Fira "200 years ago was such an air."

"This is what happened."

"It was a fun village, wasn't it?"

"It was quite peaceful. If nothing happens like that..."

I stopped talking.

Because I saw the light in the temple.

"Odette! Gisele!

"Yuki!?" "─ YEAH!?

I grabbed Odette and Gisele's arm and jumped straight to the side.

Immediately after that, countless arrows burning bright red landed on my tiny spot.

Melt the tombstone behind the earth.

"Ooooooooo!?

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh..."

The Ghosts, who ate the arrows, disappear.

I looked up.

There is still a distance to the temple. Even my "ancient magic" is out of range.

"Odette."

"Yes!

"Is there an 'ancient magic' that reaches this distance and is powerful enough to melt stones?

"... I don't know."

Odette shook her head.

"Not to my knowledge. At least, the 'Sorcery Guild' has..."

"So is that ancient magic used by the Church of the Sanctuary?"

"Right. The ghost of" The Sanctuary Church "must be using Mr. Flora's magic."

"If you take that sorcery with your shield..."

I can also see Gisele trembling with a bright blue face.

If I get that decent, I'll probably pierce the shield.

"The bad news is that you shot that one is Flora-Zamel's" Replica Road ""

In the western direction, I saw the temple.

It's a gray building. The roof collapses and there are only pillars left.

There's something like a god's statue in the back, but from here on out, I don't really see it.

In front of the temple stands a white armor.

Old Zamel said you wore pure white armor, worthy of a pure granddaughter. Exactly.

That's "Replica Road". It's Yoroi with Flora-Zamel inside.

"... I guess it's not Flora-Zamel who's using that one right now"

"Replica Road" raises one arm and looks at me.

The other arm is spinning behind your body.

Ancient magic is the type of writing a crest with both hands. I can't copy it just from the front.

"The impure monoyo that entered our" sanctuary ""

Out of "Replica Road," someone I didn't know sounded.

"Valuga, third priest of Kono, Ni, the sul fool who obstructed the world transformation of the Walera" Sanctuary Church "................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"" Body Enhancement (Boosted) "2x (Double)"

Run out before he finishes his words.

I can't chant while I'm talking.

In the meantime, get close to the range of magic effects over here.

"Odette needs backup. Gisele will protect Odette."

"I get it!

"I understand!

Immediately afterwards, Odette begins chanting.

Enemy's 'Ancient Sorcery' is activated only slowly for high performance minutes. Odette completes the activation first.

"I'll go!" The Goddess Random Force of Earth "!!

With Odette's voice, a stone spear pops out of the ground.

But it doesn't reach 'Replica Road'. Out of range.

But...

"Wha!!

The guy possessed by "Replica Road," he hits me in the tongue.

Because you hid in the spear of "The Goddess Ranger" and you couldn't see me anymore.

The stone spear that flies straight up falls straight down.

Wear the ground and roll up the soil. They hide what I am.

In front of me, there's a 'wand' flying with a sneak throw. Two.

Insurance in case of trouble...

"Activate." "Hades Inferno." "

Beyond the earthen smoke, something glowed.

At the same time I roll to the ground.

A 'wand' thrown in the air unfolds a magic barrier (shield).

Orange rays clash there.

"Wand" endured for a few seconds.

Immediately the barrier of magic is broken, and the light hits the 'wand' itself.

Rhodelia's special 'wand' evaporates.

The rays penetrate the wand and go further. It hits the second 'wand' I've deployed. Evaporate.

So, the light went out.

There is one "wand" left. I can't prevent light anymore.

"─ Yuki!!

Odette screamed.

"Odette! Don't get into his range!!

From my position, the temple is just a few moments away.

I can't see through the earthquake anymore.

But it's also in our magic range.

"Activate!" Flaming God Brawl (Ifried Blow) "!"

Until then!

The flamethrower I fired lands at the foot of Replica Road.

"I care about the girl in Yoroi, Attack Dekinuka. Sweet Ina '

Ghost possessed by "Replica Road," laughed.

"The girl in this yoroy is still raw kitails. You can use your body and your magic."

"Dead people aren't rambling on living humans."

"You son of a bitch. Wallera" Sanctuary Church "manages the fourth level. Mimim is as syllabic as you are"

Ghost laughs.

"The Great First Priest Sama... That is the better return to Lumade, the land is managed by Warella... to everyone... Daredale Daredale..."

"You're broken, aren't you?"

This is probably the one who was manipulating the ghost that attacked us.

But this guy and himself are about to break.

Barrens are a good place.

Stick to the achievements of 200 years ago, possess children...

"... I'm sick of you guys. Sanctuary Church."

I pulled out the Holy Sword Lean Kaal.

"The fact that you were grabbing me as the Demon King... doesn't matter anymore. Now, you can't even steam it back. But... what you're doing right now is really annoying."

"Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Holy Sword! Soleja Holy Sword!!

"You failed. I failed perfectly trying to rule the world with Ancient Instruments and Ancient Sorcery. Admit it, go somewhere else."

─ ─ ─ ─

Ghost does not answer.

Instead, he's starting to chant.

'Replica Road' arms move. Preliminary to "Ancient Sorcery" earlier.

"Give me back Flora-Zamel! The Dead Ghost of The Sanctuary Church!!

Unexpectedly, Odette screamed.

My voice is far away. Probably out of range of the enemy's 'ancient magic'.

"Your time is over!! Two hundred years ago, the Church of the Sanctuary acquired Ancient Sorcery and Ancient Objects, and once ruled the world - and it was long ago. You guys ended up losing!!

─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─

The head of "Replica Road" turned to Odette.

Regardless, Odette continues.

"You have been defeated by the sorcerer who killed you by tricking the Demon King! He still admires and needs many of them. but no one needs the 'Sanctuary Church'!! Disappear and slack the way for the next generation!!

─ ─ ─ ─ ■ ■

Whatever Odette is, he completes the chant and motion.

Beyond the "Replica Road" helmet, a red eye looks at me.

"Holobillo... activated..."

"Replica Road" raises his arm. The light lights up at its fingertips.

But this one's faster.

My demons have already completed the operation.

Hiu.

Becha.

The leather bag came down.

─ ─ ─ ─

"Replica Road" looks up.

The contents of the leather bag - 'Magic Blood' - are splashing and wetting his body.

"I did it -" "I aimed -! '' I hit it -! Oshi-jun. '

From the top of my head, I heard Dick and the Bat Corps.

At the same time, I declare.

"─" Purification ""

"Geyaaaaaaaaaa!!

From "Replica Road," something more and more like black steam erupted.

It's the main body of the Ghost Priest.

He stopped possessing it by Flora-Zamel because he ate 'Purification'.

Operation successful.

Dick and the bats dropped a leather bag with my 'magic blood' over his head.

I knew there was an undead in the temple.

So up front, I was flying the Dicks over the fog.

All you have to do is drop a leather bag from the sky when the enemy shows up.

Me and Odette should have caught the enemy's attention by then.

That's why Odette screamed and that's why I showed him with my holy sword.

"Geyaaaa!? Gugaaaaaaaa!! '

"--Ahh."

I heard a small voice.

As the Ghost disappears behind the temple, 'Replica Road' falls to the ground.

I saw Flora-Zamel's face from underneath when the helmet came off.

"Odette, Gisele! Flora-Zamel, please. I'm going after Priest Ghost."

Priest Ghost used 'ancient magic' with Flora's magic.

You shouldn't be able to do the same thing more than let her go.

"I get it!

"I'm going now!" My Road "!!

I activate "physical enhancement" twice.

Keep going inside the temple.

Flora-Zamel, who is falling at the entrance... is alive.

I guess the reason I'm pale is because the Ghost Priest sucked on my magic. Earlier 'ancient magic' should have consumed quite a bit of magic.

I endured that, so I guess you have a gift for witchcraft.

Plus, I've been possessed by the Ghost Priest for a long time, but I keep myself.

How resistant... it shouldn't be possible without the strength of the will.

Even though she's a little girl. Wow... why the hell did you get so far...

"............... sorry"

Unexpectedly, Flora-Zamel opened his mouth.

"............ get in your way...... sorry...... I'm sorry I couldn't properly thank you enough for the offal on... you were so sweet. Yuki-Grossalia... I... wanted to say it."

"... you cared about that"

I'm sorry, I forgot.

Or whatever the mastermind of obstruction thinks, it's Alek-Keelus.

It's not about you being sick... at all.

"... human beings, really, I don't know"

In the meantime, the Ghost Priest erases it.

Never let anyone possess you again.

Let's also get some information on the Great First Priest that he said.

That would be reassuring, and it would make exploring the 'Magic Guild' easier.

"I'll be right back. Then I'll take you back to the ground. Give me a break. Flora-Zamel"

I was twice as fortified and headed to the back of the temple.
