On Jared's last notice, a sorcerer broke his knee.

"You, stand up, stand up and fight! What are you scared of? What are we going to do with the ideals we set out!

No one responded to Leonard's voice, stuffed by a succumbing magician and grabbing his chest.

Go on, break another one, another knee.

Everyone was already heartbroken. He gave in to the figure of his fellow man, who had been stoned and crushed by Jared, that he didn't want to be.

I knew Jared would be relentless if I turned to his teeth and would follow the same end road. The only thing you don't understand is Leonard.

Whether it's ideal or purposeful, horrible things are horrible. They were trying to make it happen even at the risk of their lives, but they sought a dignified death as a person at the end of a path that stoned without even leaving a body.

It was better to surrender and be judged as a national traitor, with no comparison and a better ending.

"Now you've all surrendered. The same should happen to the remaining soldiers. So, you're the only one left, Leonard."

"Jared Murphy, good, good, good, good."

"If you're going to be so absurd, you should have attacked me, but you're not sure."

If only I had killed myself, I would still have started over. But did you not, because you think you can't win, or for some reason?

I don't even have to worry about it. Jared moves on to the final battle by boosting his magic.

"Leonard Gallagher, I'll give you a final notice, too. Olivier, give it back."

"No! You think I'm going to give in to you while you've been so cocky!

"Then that's enough. Just kill you and look slowly."

"Kill, kill? Don't make me laugh. How bark as my brother nearly kills me in the Duke of Rüdiger's territory. You think you're gonna kill me for being late for that mage?

"... I knew the Duke of Lüdiger thing was your fault."

"You seemed to feel it the way you put it."

"You'll notice when Ernesta was manipulated and falling into your hands. Involving innocent people..."

"Without you, there would have been less sacrifice. If you resent it, you should resent yourself. An excellent magician, yet a fool taken in by non-magicians. If you don't wake up, it's not worth pawning. I'll kill you with this hand."

"I often say to you that you escaped at first sight. But I agree to settle."

Killing Leonard was easy. We had some chance to kill each other in the gaps we were talking about. But I won't because Jared himself settles with him.

Because I thought I had to smash it from the front.

Leonard Gallagher is no longer an enemy. I don't even want to see you as an enemy. But I have to make you pay for the bumps you've had.

"Let's change places. Let's fight outside, in a bigger place."

"Fine. Let's fight outside the mansion until either me or you die."

Jared and Leonard both went outside the mansion and stood in a garden stretching out in front of the front door.

"I have a question, are you willing to answer?

"I don't mind. Say it."

"How did you get me involved? You don't think it would have turned out any different if things had happened without my involvement?

"I don't think so. Either way, I would have bumped into you sooner or later than the Duke of Alway family was one of the targets. If I had a miscalculation, I didn't understand the bond between Olivier Alway and you."

Perhaps Leonard was involved in the pageant that reached Jared. To connect the chain of affection to a boy who is still a minor.

That ended in failure, for one thing, because Olivier really loved Jared. In an attempt to monopolize it, it was because I couldn't get close to the children of other houses just to say it was my own.

Thus, when taking action, Leonard involved Jared, who was an element of uncertainty, and grabbed Olivier as insurance. He even planned to use the weak girls in positions to increase Jared's shackles and pawn him.

What still ended up failing here was that the girls who were supposed to have used it weren't just kids who were supposed to be used to end up.

The Ronmeyer sisters, who could not abandon their family, tried to let Jared escape, although they might have had a few intentions. Until their thoughts, Leonard could neither grasp nor use them.

"No, there was something else. You have acquired such skill that I, no, modern magicians are pitiful. Physical Enhancement Sorcery, Petrified Sorcery, this is all you will be able to ask for a higher position instead of a court sorcerer. Neither should the royal family be able to keep you down. Really abominable, how can I climb that high?

"Because I met a good friend and a good teacher."

"Huh. It's not as simple as being a magician just to climb high."

"I could certainly have been blessed"

"You should have actually been blessed. Nonetheless, I can't understand you being this good instead of worrying about the magician's current situation!

"I have a friend who's not a magician. There are important people that I don't think have anything to do with that. That's too much."

"It's still abominable. The values are too different between you and me.... I see my biggest failure was trying to get you into this side. I should have killed him."

"Must be. You should have taken my life the moment you captured me."

Jared increases his magic. Now I can put all the magic I can use into the blow I'm about to unleash.

"I will kill you and finish off those succumbing weak men and finish it all off. What, if I'm alone, that's fine. I am also thinking of measures for court magicians who have no other option but to fight while protecting them. Without you, this country would be ours."

Leonard also increased his magic. He stares at Jared as a shooter and doesn't even try to hide his killings.

"The battle is over, so I'll settle with you in one blow."

"Fine. I don't want to fight you forever either."

Mutually elevated magic reached its limits.

I don't need words anymore.

I didn't even need a signal.

"You die here, Jared Murphy. No, no, no, no."

Blinking light concentrates on both arms of Leonard, raised high above heaven. The scorching heat and the blinding light become a sphere reminiscent of the pseudo sun.

vs. Jared kicked the ground. Even concentrating all the magic gathered in his right arm, he spent all but a tiny amount of magic to improve his physical abilities for an attack.

"Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh."

The pseudo sun raised by Leonard disappears and the rain of light falls from overhead. It was a rain of death, with a grain of intense pain and skin scorching fever.

"Guh, oh, shit"

Expand the barrier, but destroy the invisible wall and burn Jared's skin, causing him to spray blood. but Jared didn't stop his leg.

When he succeeded in diving into Leonard's pocket, he sifted his magical right hand as a hand knife.

That moment,

"Dad."

Someone thrust Leonard and took Jared's knife into that body.

At the next moment, the person's torso was amputated to the horizontal line.
