The hero magician wants to relax. He was too active and targeted for his life, so we'll start over.

It's been a hassle, but this is a chance in a sense.

The Commander of the Dark Force, the one who is going to take possession of the Kanonas. I think it will be difficult to eradicate the forces of darkness without him.

But the Grand Duke trusted me too much, didn't he? I don't remember being particularly intimate, but let me be involved in securing the boss of such dark forces and other confidential matters.

The same goes for the sealing order.... you think I'm one of the dark forces? No, I don't know...

I was in Ridara Darha, following Duel Borgen in Kurf, on the Adisholer floating island.

It's a top-secret mission, so only Deacy and Knight Bull were accompanied by me and Kurf.

Kurf's Custom Magus is at the forefront. There has been no interception of the dark forces so far, either because they entered through a secret passage.

In the front, the oppressors are fighting the monsters of the dark forces.

Rapidly rush through a passage that even Magus can afford to pass through. I called it the secret passage, but I'm not lost because it's almost the same as the military facility on Ariel's floating island. Go on as if you were accustomed to the road.... the custom Duel of Bull is behind us.

"Kurf, it's a little fast. The following and distances are beginning to open."

"... roger that."

The Kurf slowed down. Proceed a little further and rendezvous with another passage. Right or left.

If you go to the right, there's a base command.

If the structure is the same as that of Ariel's floating island, so is Addis Horror's command. Kurf is communicating.

Again, you came from here. I'm sorry, I was a little suspicious.

"What are you talking about?

Did you suspect? Did you rewrite the sealing order and ruin this plan?

I wasn't sure if I could take you to Lord Canonus, but I was sure. I thought you'd be fine. "

... the theory that I was supposed to be associated with the dark forces might not have been entirely wrong.

"Kurf, are you here?

About twice. As the Grand Duke's messenger. "

It makes sense to know the secret passage and what it is. The messenger was in charge of the means of communication between the Grand Duke of Talgear and the forces of darkness.

Then I'll leave it up to you to talk to Lord Canonus.

I understand.

My private channel is down.

Kulf's Duel Borgen takes a left. It's on the other side of Command, but I didn't point it out. Until we obey those who actually came here as messengers.

Now, how should I move when I see that cannon? Kurf works for the Grand Duke. If I try to fight cannons, I won't stop them, and I will fight as a traitor.... I'm not a bad guy, so I don't want to do anything like kill Kurf.

Eventually, a cave-like passage where the soil peeled off inside the base.

Now, let's get off.

Kurf got off the Magus. I glanced at the next Deacy machine, the Bull machine.

"I'm going. Keep an eye on me."

If the enemy comes, it'll be troublesome.... well, you won't get attacked here, but if you think about what I'm about to do, the enemy might come at you.

When I get out of Darkha, I follow Kulf and step into a cavernous passage. However, the door is an automatic steel door. I wonder what kind of taste this is.

There was a cave ahead of the automatic door for a while. Lighting is installed at equal intervals, and metal plates are embedded in the floor.

And I went into a room lined with large culture capsules that I saw in some lab. It was filled with a fluorescent liquid and the feeling I saw was very beautiful. I remembered the syrup of the icemaker.

There is no such thing as a monster in the capsule. I thought it was a research facility because I was using monsters in the dark, but it might not be.

A latticed metal floor. Below it is a pool, which is filled with liquid again. I don't feel very good walking on it. What kind of medicine is this? What if it melts when you touch it, or if it's a bad guy?

Based on my impressions, Kurf walked straight out. If you stand still, you'll be suspicious, so I'll follow. The boot makes a noise when it rubs against the metal lattice floor.

... hmm? Signs of people.

Greetings, Grand Duke.

The voice of a man gushing down. Kurf lowered his head when he stopped.

"I'm out of time, Sir Canonus. Thank you for being safe."

"Are you okay? Oh, you're okay!

Cannonus - the man was upstairs above where we are. Because it is blown out, we can see it from each other.

"Traitor."

Yes, when the cannoli threw up and threw it away, the lattice-shaped floor broke in half.

For a moment, your body was floating in space. But before I could float, I fell off my feet on the water that wasn't so far from the floor.

Your whole body is in water.

It is dyed with a vivid green fluorescent color. As soon as I thought I had to hold my breath, there was already liquid in my mouth. Sweet taste runs through your throat, followed by burning tingling.

Poison!?

He jumps out of the water in a hurry. When I put my hand on the edge of the wet mouse, the felling Kurf put out his face and put his hand on the other side.

He coughs violently. The tingling in his mouth disappears, but now he feels a small numbness on his skin and where he touches the water, and then under his wet clothes, too.

"It's a reagent that's just been made..."

The voice of Canonus echoed from above.

"How are you feeling? Are you getting stronger?

"What is this, Lord Canonus?!

Kurf screamed.

What's a reagent? It's not a medicine to monster humans, is it? I'm thrilled by that terrible imagination.

"What, the eternal dream of mankind?"

Canonus laughed.

"'Immortality', that reagent. I don't know, it's the first time I've used it on humans, but... how about it? Have you become immortal?

Uh, what? Am I immortal?

I crawl out of a pool filled with chemicals for the time being, incredibly. A combat suit named the pilot suit is heavy with water inhalation.

"... this is immortality?

Kurf sat on the floor and looked up at the cannoli.

"Oh, you won't believe it. I'm not sure either. That's why you guys...."

Dead once - countless spears attacked me and Kurf from all directions with those words.
