They had cut off all the black snakes, and the demon shadow was beginning to collapse without being able to maintain its giant.

Almark ran away from the demonic shadow and under Leila.

Leila, are you okay?

Leila had an exhausted blue face and still smiled when she saw Almark.

"You're going to slash anything."

'Cause you taught me.

Almark turned to the demon shadow again.

The giant no longer had a shadow to see, and countless demonic shadows were twisted there.

"Clean it up"

Almark can magic his wand again.

Burn it down.

Magic is screaming.

Right.

Almark nodded at the voice of magic.

You guys are right. Let's burn it down.

As Almark waved his wand, he ran to the demon shadows as a giant wall of flames crawled through the earth.

"And such magic."

Layla opens her eyes.

"Not my power."

Maybe this is the power of the wand.

Don't overstate the power of the wand as your own.

Reminds me of the words of Illmis.

Sure, this is going to be a mistake.

Wrapped in flames, the demons and shadows extinguish.

"You did it."

To Leila's voice, Almark nods.

"Thanks. Thanks to you."

An incredible sight popped into Almark's eyes when he turned around and said so.

A giant demon shadow hand that came out trying to slip through the wall.

That was already approaching Leila's back.

"Layla!!"

Almark stretched his arm and held Leila as he held her, jumping back.

The hand of the demon shadow sweeps through the back of Almark.

Hands without entities. But tearing Almark's soul apart.

It deprives me of my soul.

Almark instantly realized that.

Dark Demon Shadow.

It's not magic that takes it away.

Soul.

From his previous experience of being deprived of his soul in the library, Almark put magic in his own soul.

Even though I wasn't sure, I tried to protect my soul with it.

From the account of experience and wildness, Almark had unconsciously applied something like a very primitive technique of protection to his soul.

That barely saved Almark's life.

Almark desperately stopped trying to steer away from his consciousness.

Is it still coming? That hand.

We need to put a stop to it.

"Almark!!"

Leila screamed sadly in Almark's arms.

At the corner of Almark's sight, the hand of the demon shadow brings the sickle again.

Almark squeezed his strength and pointed a Malus wand at his hand.

Go away.

The flame emitted wraps the hands of the demon shadow and burns them down.

Along with that, he disappeared so that all the demonic shadows would melt.

Was it the last evil ascension of the dark trap?

Almark lowered his cane.

A moment of relaxation.

Almark's body was no longer moving.

Collapse onto the spot.

Body and soul are off.

I felt that way.

It's because they almost plucked my soul.

From the body, the heat escapes.

"Almark, hold on tight"

Soon Leila was holding Almark back and screaming.

I'm glad Leila's okay.

Almark thinks so blurry.

"Oh, what shall I do?"

Layla shrugged.

"Almark, don't die"

I've never seen Leila wander around like that.

I'm fine. I will not die.

That's what Almark wanted to answer, but his body didn't move at all.

"Almark."

Layla's voice keeps moving away.

"You said you wouldn't leave me alone."

Yes, it was.

I said I wouldn't leave you alone.

I'm sorry. That's not a proposal.

But that's what I really thought earlier. He said I shouldn't leave you alone.

Mercenaries in the north keep their promises.

Dad, I need your help.

I'm no longer a mercenary, but I need the strength to keep my word.

Almark's consciousness becomes cloudy.

I shouldn't.

My soul, leaves.

Unexpectedly, I felt a warm light.

Heat returns to Almark's body.

Almark opened his eyes.

In front of me, there was Leila's bright blue face.

From its eyes, the tears are falling.

Leila's hand was emitting a gentle light.

Here it is.

Almark knew by the senses.

This light saved me.

"Almark."

Leila called her name in a narrow voice if she hadn't heard of it.

"Leila."

Almark put his strength into his right hand.

Move.

Almark raised his right hand and gently wiped the tears flowing down Leila's cheek.

"Thanks. You saved my life, didn't you?"

"I'm sorry. I'm sure healing techniques shouldn't be used at times like this."

Leila closed her eyes. Tears pounding again.

"I didn't know what else to do."

Tears fall on Almark's face.

Warm.

Almark thought.

"You are the benefactor of my life."

Layla shakes her head at the words.

"I could have done better"

Almark slowly woke up his upper body.

"I still have to sleep"

"It's okay."

Saying, Almark stood up.

I didn't get hurt. If the soul returned, the body moved without any problems.

"Are you sure that's enough?

Leila looks up at Almark with her bright red eyes.

"Yeah."

I made the girl cry again.

A chest painful regret runs.

"I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine."

That's what Almark said, stretched out fine to show.

"Good."

Layla wipes her own tears.

"Tough. You are."

"Yeah."

Almark nods.

"That's the deal."

To the words, Layla finally laughed just a little.

"But it looks like it's over."

That's what Almark said and looked around the aisle.

The demon shadow had no more shadows or shapes.

"Let's go home, Leila"

Almark reached out to Layla, who remained seated.

Leila takes that hand and tries to stand up, fluttering.

"Magic."

Almark gently held up that body, which he said was embarrassing.

"Hey."

Layla wanders in and raises a protest.

"Put it down."

"You can't walk, can you? I even let you use the cure. It's my fault."

"That's why"

"Let's go with this till we get out of the cave"

That's what I'm saying. Just start walking.

"... until we get out."

Leila said that in a small voice and then deposited her body with Almark.

When I left the cave, it was already evening outside.

"It was morning when I came."

When Almark raised his voice of surprise, he left Leila in his arms and walked straight on the edge of the fountain.

"Hey, put it down"

Layla makes a panicked voice.

"I've already left the cave."

I'll take you to that stone.

When Almark said that in a calm, but unspoken tone, Leila

"If anyone sees a place like this, I can't be in this college anymore"

and groaned.

"Why not? You can't walk, so you have no choice."

"Hey, you."

Layla tried to say something, but shook her head in Almark's chest like she'd given up.

"Fine. I will obey you today."

Almark briefly explained to Leila, on the path of the forest, the wand of Mars and the trap of darkness.

"... yes"

Leila nods.

"That's what happened."

"Yeah. So I have to report this to my teacher tomorrow, too. Leila, I'm sorry, but then I'm gonna have to tell you about you, too."

That would also make it possible to enter the fountain cave without authorization.

"I don't have a choice."

Leila said with an unexpectedly bulky look.

"I'm coming, too, for that report."

"Huh?"

Leila nods when Almark unexpectedly looks at Leila's face.

"It's true you were breaking the rules. Besides, it's quicker."

"Thank you, Leila"

As Almark smiled, Leila looked away as illuminated.

Layla glares down in front of a stone with a blue print on it, and Layla looks sorry.

"I'm sorry, because this stone magic, no one but me can carry it"

"I don't mind. I walk home. [M] Rest in the dorm."

Almark smiled and waved.

Layla waves small in response, poking the stone with a cane.

Light emanated from the blue crest.

Layla's figure disappears into the light.

"... thanks"

The last time I heard Leila.

"... Well"

Almark, who was alone, stretched greatly with Malus' wand in his hands.

I'm glad Leila's okay. I didn't even get hurt.

And.

"If this is the time, don't be late for the concert."

I'm so glad.

I just can't go with this dirty outfit.

Let's go back to the dorm and get dressed before we go.

Almark ran energetically down the path in the woods.
