Interrupt me again!
Elion's frozen spear was flicked at Jerry's barrier.
Under his feet, Aldis turned his magic into a shockwave and chased him with a slash.
I wasn't far away from working with Sark and Elion, but I was a fellow warrior who had lined up with Aldis for years. Even if there is a blank that has been around for nearly five years, there is no such degree of cooperation.
Jeriah kicked the crumbling floor and swung his sword, but that was what Aldis was after.
There it is!
From above behind Ardis, a crushing rain of light pours down with the voice of Sark.
Countless bombs of light filled Aldis' sight as he retreated, avoiding the entanglement.
But with Elion's Ice Spear, Aldis' Slash, and the accompanying Circle's Light Bullet, and the three of them working together, Jerry couldn't get a single scratch.
That's annoying!
You can't even go through this!
Blocked by Jerry's thick barrier, Circus flashes his tongue.
"Really disturbing twins." I don't want to see that face again. No, go away! "
"You'll like it." We feel the same way, too. "
"Excellent! Then I'll do it forever without you and anyone else!"
Jerry and the twins rewarded each other for their magic.
"You go away!"
From the side, Aldis unleashed the magic of the Wind Blade.
Sorcerer's magic and more!
Little by little, Jerry used a single hand to create a red light blade to offset it.
Sark and Elion specialize in magic, and in addition, Ardis unleashes his sword and flying sword as he unleashes his magic.
However, Jerry's defenses showed no sign of shaking in his constant attacks.
All the barriers and silver spheres block the Ardis' attack, and they are struck back by more powerful sorcery.
One more step.
Just a few more minutes.
Even the Wisteria Mercenaries couldn't reach the three of them with all their might.
That's why there was no reason to stop.
With a lot of sacrifice, Ardis has finally made it this far.
Even if we get out of here, the Wisteria Mercenaries will no longer be here.
We've lost most of our elites in this raid, and we don't know how many of our allies will survive the fight against aliens.
If I hadn't decided to fight here, it would be more obvious than seeing Gili go poor afterwards.
I'm not someone I can spare.
It's not like we can think of anything after the battle.
I didn't even know how long it took the three of them to fight against the overwhelming power.
In the process...
That moment came when various factors overlapped to create a miracle by chance.
The gap between the barriers created by Aldis' attack and Elion's attack becomes stronger, and the arrows of light created by the Circle are sucked into a tiny point like a blow.
Maybe Jerry was too alarmed.
The unintentional collaboration created by the coincidence left an unexpected defensive gap and slightly scratched Jerry's cheek.
Until then, Jeriah's face, who had been flirting with the three without breaking his leisurely expression, became stronger.
A dash of blood that was brighter than the color of hair was passing through the cheeks.
"I-I-It's..."
Jeriah's voice trembled as he wiped his fingertips at the reality that had befallen him.
"...... spider"
An audible voice spilled out of my mouth.
"Nice to meet you..."
Jeriah's expression stained with anger.
The mocking expression that I had shown with my spare time disappeared, and I shot through Aldis with a cursed gaze.
"How nice of you to scratch my face!" Not once, not twice! I won't forgive you, I won't forgive you! I won't forgive you! I won't forgive you if you kneel down and beg for forgiveness! Die here! Die in vain, regretting that you have become my enemy! "
At that moment, Jeriah emitted a huge amount of magic power.
Jerry's shockwave strikes Ardis as he tries to distance himself from the obvious evil omens.
"Grrrr!"
Even beyond the barrier, a strong shock that squeezes the whole body strikes.
Aldis covered his head tightly with one arm, but the overwhelming force that could not be prevented shook his brain relentlessly.
For a moment, your awareness is skipped, and Aldis's vision is shrouded in darkness.
"Ugh..."
How long have you been unconscious for?
Aldis opened his eyes and saw Elion right next to him.
"Good. Have you noticed, Aldis?"
"Elion... I..."
"I was unconscious. Just a little bit."
Apparently, Aldis had been unconscious for a long time.
As a mercenary, I lost consciousness in the midst of a battle to crush each other.
Where's Sark?
And it came to pass, when he was ashamed of his own folly, that Elion answered him.
"I'm holding that woman back."
Listening to Elion's voice, Ardis shook his head and looked around.
How far did they fly?
At the edge of the line of sight, you can see some pieces of meat and the man who is surrounded by the ends of the line of sight.
Feeling slightly spared, Aldis wiped out his presence.
I could see Sark and Jerry rewarding each other for their sorcery far away.
Aldis and Elion had left the front, so it seemed that Sark was facing Jeriah alone.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be untied..."
No, I'm the one with the legs and arms.
Aldis gasped for his gaze at the unusual words of Elion.
"You, those legs..."
A thousand cuts from his knees, and he loses his words when he sees Elion's right foot, whose bones are revealed.
“Apparently, I didn't have any luck. It was a bad place to be flown."
"Shit!"
Aldis manages to hold his broken heart back with dirty words.
"For now, Aldis alone is my last hope." I'll keep it for you, so please stay put. "
But Sark is alone...
"The sark won't last long either. That's why we only have now."
Being pushed by the expression of the seriously appealing Elion, Aldis reluctantly accepted after glancing at the Sark, who still fought alone.
"... All right. Hurry up." Even if you can't stab me... that woman is definitely the only one...! "
…………
Elion nodded silently to Aldis's words and began to build his magic.
There is no detailed explanation as to what kind of technique is used.
But Elion is far more talented than Aldis and has proven himself on many battlefields without fail.
There is nothing that Aldis lacks in trust, neither in strength nor personality.
The Elion was trying to delay his adventure with Sark, but it was a magic spell that he wanted to give to Aldis.
Then I believe in Elion, and I commit myself.
Magic draws a large edge around Aldis' body, and a small pattern begins to shine from the line towards the inside and out.
Aldis felt it was a bigger trick than he thought.
"Aldis, I've always regretted it, and so has Sark."
At such a timing, Elion opened her mouth without any warning.
Why all of a sudden?
Aldis asks in a calm tone and words that don't resemble the scene of the battle, with incalculable intentions.
"At that time, I let Lou go alone..."
"... it's not your fault. That's what he chose for himself."
While chewing on his bitter feelings, Ardis denies Elion's words.
"Still, we should have kept Lou at bay." At least either of us should have followed. [M] It's totally our fault. "
And when he had spoken, Elion shut his mouth.
Should I say something to Elion, who has an unusual atmosphere, or should I keep my silence...? "In the end, Aldis, who could not judge, was unable to say anything.
Meanwhile, the sound and light scattered as Jerry and Sark's magic rushed Aldis.
It was Aldis who broke the silence unbearably.
"Are you still a magician?" Sark won't be alone forever. "
"Rest assured, the surgery is assembled in parallel with the story." Don't try to get any clearer than that. ”
And it came to pass, that Elion hath not stopped the unfolding of his magic, while he was doing it.
“It's not like we're talking in this situation, is it?”
“Yeah, that's right. It's not like we're talking in the middle of a fight. But right now, this is the story that we need to remember."
Aldis was indescribably impatient with the serious expression on his face.
"We have to make amends to Aldis." Someday, I knew it would happen, but I think it's finally time. ”
"What are you talking about, Elion?"
Now is not the time for such a confession.
If we don't get back to the front and back to cover Sark as soon as possible, even a small winning eye will be lost over time.
I'm sure it wasn't Elion who didn't understand.
Aldis felt uncomfortable in his unusual appearance.
At that moment, Jeriah noticed how we were doing, and he was pointing his finger at the attack.
"What are you kidding about with all the things you can't afford to lose?"
I'll let you do it!
To prevent Jerry's blazing waves of flames, Sark served as a shield for Elion and Aldis.
I'm out of your way!
Geria scolded with an abominable expression.
At the same time, the explosive flame gained momentum, and the standing barrier of Sark enveloped all three.
Sark's unfolding barrier shakes, trembles, and starts to collapse as it emits a purple light.
"Hurry up, Elion! I can't take it anymore!"
While hurrying to Elion, Aldis checked the back of Sark.
"Sark...!"
Aldis's eyes were sharply scratched on the flanks, and Sark was dyed bright red.
It was by no means a shallow wound.
The bloody paste hardened by the heat of the flames may indeed have stopped the bleeding further.
But a shadow with a distinctly different curve from the human silhouette appealed to Aldis to see how serious it was.
Understanding the sight of Aldis' gaze, Elion pushed through a merciless reality.
"Both Sark and I are as you can see." You can't win and you can't run away. ”
"Even so--"
Ignoring Aldis, who was unable to accept the reality and tried to say it back, Elion proceeds with the story one-sidedly.
"I've been experimenting many times, but I haven't adjusted to the details yet." I'm going to designate a place where there's no danger, but I'm going to apologize first because I might be sent to a strange place. "
"Wait, Elion! What are you going to do!?"
Not knowing what Elion's words meant, Ardis noticed the magical power that surrounded his body as he stepped forward.
I was confused by its existence as if to bind Aldis, and I asked it with the momentum of eating the opponent who would have imposed it at the same time.
"What do you mean, Elion!?"
In contrast to the confused Aldis, the current Elion looked calm.
"Aldis, we couldn't win today."
It's not like we've decided to lose yet!
"No, we lost. We underestimated her." Even if it was never meant to be so, there must still have been some sweetness in the estimate somewhere. That's why we're losing today. "
As if entrusting her thoughts to the backward, Elion politely makes Aldis hear each word.
"Elion, what are you doing..."
"But Aldis, we can't allow our defeat to lead to her victory, can we?" How can it be that the deaths of the people who were scattered until we got here are in vain? I can't help but notice that it's time for me and Sark to get off the stage, and Grace and I didn't come here alone after all this time..... "
Unable to comprehend the terribly calm atmosphere of Elion, Aldis could only shake his head small.
"But, Aldis, you're still here." As long as somebody's alive, we're not losing. If your presence leads to our victory, now is what I have to do. ”
At last, Aldis noticed.
I wonder what Elion is up to.
"Wait a minute, Elion, you can't...!"
A surge of magic poured into the pattern surrounding Aldis.
It was a sufficient sign to tell us that the activation of the magic was imminent.
A collection of circular patterns begins to glow dullly, and magic flows from the outer edge toward Aldis, who sits in the center.
Elion! Sark!
Aldis, who couldn't move, shouted as loud as he could.
Sark, who reacted to the voice, looked at us for a moment and then returned his words violently.
"Don't die, Aldis!"
Aldis's vision was distorted.
The bursting erosion strain made Sark and Elion appear empty.
Elion with a soft smile spins her last words right next to Aldis.
"That's why Aldis, our share..."
The sound vanished from the world of Ardis before the voice could reach.
Elion's face became distorted.
The space itself is distorted.
The appearance of Sark standing to protect Aldis and the sound of Jerry's blazing flames and barriers clashing together swirl away in silence.
And he opened his mouth desperately, and, in his voice, Aldis called out the names of the two.
Even then, it melted into the darkness like a void cut out of the real world.
Just before sight, hearing, smell, touch -- everything is closed to darkness.
Sark's back and Elion's smile, swallowed by the blazing flames, burned into Aldis' eyes.
- The smell of grass.
- Birds chirping.
― ― The feel of a pebble.
--The consciousness that emerges.
Slowly, Aldis raised his eyelids.
The dirt and moss lit by the dim light entered his eyes, and Ardis realized he was lying on the ground.
"I-Is that...?"
Haha, breathing out as you wake up in a blurry state of consciousness.
Sark! Elion!
Even if you look around in a hurry, only the trees in the forest grow in abundance.
I could hardly see any artifacts in the human figure.
"This place is..."
Unable to grasp his own situation, Aldis gazed at him in a daze, trying to get a clue.
I felt uncomfortable because my gear and body motion were inhibited.
"What happened after that..."
At least this isn't the castle where Aldis invaded.
Could it be that Elion's sorcery drove him out of the castle? Thinking like that, Aldis casually looked up at the sky and watched.
"What the hell is that..."
What you see there is not a clear blue sky.
It's not dark at night, it's not dusk or sunrise, it's just a dazzling white sky.
It also shines differently from the clouds, and it changes color from one side of the sky to the other, so that the dye-coated board is inverted.
The pale white that spreads in the sky does not show any gradient, and it causes a terrible feeling that it instantly switches to black while maintaining the boundary as if a line had been drawn.
No matter what I thought, I saw a sight that I could not understand, and Aldis was tortured by the anomaly that his common sense did not understand.
"Where is...... here?"
