Ian pulled out the blade and cut into the knight's opponent. The screams came from the people gathered there.

"I-I 'm sorry...! Mr. Leone...!"

"Yes, it's good to be in time - please step back, it's dangerous!"

While returning to the length of the blade, Leone stepped forward and stood between Rouin and Ian.

"You're all in danger!" Stay away from me! "

When I call on the people, most of them, frightened by Ian's actions, leave according to Leone's words.

Some of them have the courage to stop at the scene and try to give Ian their opinion.

"Hey you...! You don't have to do that all of a sudden...!? We should still continue our discussion..."

Hmm...

Ian's arm's blade stretched as he snorted coldly.

It was long enough to reach the young man who had spoken to Ian--

"Mayday, please remain silent"

When I waved my right arm, the blade attacked the young man in an attempt to slit his body.

Leone's sword stopped Ian's left arm blade and couldn't react immediately.

"Ugh...!? Whoaaaaaaaaaaaa!?"

"Abunay! Please run away!"

It was Pram who screamed.

He jumped out in front of the young man and stood up to protect him.

Ian's blade ended up slashing the back of the plum, not the young man.

The plum fell down on the spot, and the back of her clothes dyed red.

Lord Plumb!?

"Pram! Ian...! Oh my god! Do you know what you've done?!"

With all her might, Leone shot Ian in the belly of the Great Sword.

"Guuuu...!?"

Ian's body flashed.

In the distance, Leone rushed to Plum.

"Pram! It's okay!!?"

"I-I 'm sorry, oh, I'm...!"

To the young man who seemed to be a wolf, Plum turned a weak smile.

"... are you okay? I'm fine, so please stay away from me..."

"Ah, ahhh...! I'm so sorry...!" Because of me...! "

"Lord Pram, what a nonsense! The wound is so deep, I can never be alarmed...!"

"Mr. Rouin! Stop the bleeding now!" Rafinia will be back soon, so be patient! "

Liesellotte is on her way to summon Ratty back to tell him about this commotion. Inglise and Rafinia will be back with us.

The plum wound looks deep, but if Rafinia returns, we can help her with the miracle of healing power (gift).

"Alright, I'll take care of it...!" You, take him! "

"Yes, Ian, I will stop you... no, I will defeat you!"

Leone puts her strength into the hands holding the Great Sword and takes a stance toward the blown out Ian.

Ian was awake, but he hadn't stood up yet, and somehow he was trying to hold his head back with both hands. Seems to be suffering from something.

"Oh, please do so, Leone-san...!" I don't want to--I don't want to do this to Pram...! Uu, uuuu...! "

Ian-kun?!

"Please hurry up and finish me off - or else... again!" No, Ebel-sama's experiment is to transfer that person's consciousness to someone else and manipulate it... so I-- "

"Ebel...!?"

Leone doesn't know her face in person, but she has heard her name many times.

He was a major cadre of the army in the Highlands. Apparently already taken down by the Black Mask of the Blood Iron Brigade, it was in the center of the Heavenly Realm (Highland) conspiracy involving this Arkard.

It was said that the presence of Tiffany (Hylal Menas) was only a substitute for Ebel.

"What's the matter?!? It's because of that Ebel that you dredged the plum and disappeared along the way...!?"

"Ebel-sama's consciousness awakened inside me... to make you turn to Rickrea...!" And in the meantime, I'm ready! "

"Preparation...!? What are you going to do?!"

”Oh, that's... uu, ahhhhhh...”

Ian!

Snugly, Ian's movement stops.

She stopped suffering and stood up quickly ─ ─

"Come on! Why don't you think about it yourself?"

Something like a cylinder emerges from the palm of my hand, and a glowing light bullet fires from it. It wasn't just one or two shots, it was continuous.

"Cu...!?"

I wonder if Ian's consciousness has been taken over again.

Anyway, we have to intercept this.

Even if you avoid it, it will hit the plum and rouin behind you.

Hey, ahhhhhhh!

Leone's swords crushed the incoming light bullets one after the other.

Every time I touched it with my sword, the light bullet exploded and shocked my arm, but it wasn't an unbearable load.

Look at the gap and fight back!

That's what I thought, Arrowhead.

Well, that's it!

Ian sticks his other hand out.

You can see the projectile there as well.

Dodo, dodo, dodo, dodo, dodo!

The amount of light bullets doubled at once, turning into a barrage and attacking Leone.

……

Increases the speed of the sword, but is pressurized--!

I couldn't stop it. Once it's broken, it can't be rebuilt.

It was crushed at once, and the plumes in the back were also fatally wounded.

- I won't let you!
