"... why, may I ask?
"Of course it is. Lord Jared has that right. I was once Cassandra's fiancée."
"Heh."
He circulated explosive magic into his body and instantly shook Dennis' arms off with superhuman power. Sticking his fist straight out toward him is also prevented by the shadow at Dennis' feet stretching out into a pitch-black shield.
"... there's an arm... I see this is your witchcraft"
"Let's not. I'm not going to fight you."
"But I'm not gonna let you kill Cassandra Hagendorf,"
"I don't know the circumstances clearly. I just came after you to help you. But I can't believe this is happening."
I don't know the circumstances. But I can't overlook Jared killing his ex-fiancé. Almost, without thinking, Dennis moved his body to protect Cassandra.
"I don't care that you were the fiancé of the Duke of Hagendorf. But if you're gonna stand in my way,"
"Then what do you do?
"Just take it down and then do what I want"
"Let's buy that mindset. But I am the first seat of court magician. Defeat is unacceptable. It doesn't matter if the person you fight is you."
"I'm the same. I will defeat you and kill the Duke of Hagendorf in order to get Olivier back."
Circulate explosive magic again to improve physical abilities. Already, Jared's body has been hit with a burden of pain using repeated superhuman physical abilities, but I don't care about that. Again, I don't care what happens to me if there's a slight chance I can get my fiancée back.
"... get Master Olivier back? Oh, I see, is that what happened"
Dennis seemed to have guessed what had happened when he had previously heard from Jared about the conditions regarding the resurrection of his ancestors. Above all, enough for him to be prepared to put someone in his hands. It's easy to guess what happened to Olivier.
"... it would only be an insult to say anything to you that deprives you of someone you love"
"You're not saying you're losing your mind."
"No way. You are insane. Because it's sane, it's a glimmer of hope. At the same time, we are also looking for any other means.... It's rational, even though it's not weird to be mad and rampant by nature. That's horrible. I'm sorry to have to fight you in this situation."
"I'm the same. There's nothing to resent about you."
Still have to fight. Kill Cassandra for what your ancestors wanted.
Jared runs. As a beast that crawls through the earth, as a beast that tries to eat and kill its prey. Quiet, sick, then willing to kill.
The opposing Dennis unfolds a shadow. From his shadows, the shadows of the moving muscles grow like limbs and legs. Jared hits me to restrain me, but with a piece of paper, the boy sends it away.
I am more alert to the magic I see for the first time. I don't want to beat my tongue and distance myself more than I know what will happen if I get caught.
"The earth."
Put your hands on the ground and let the magic flow. And the spirits of the earth lift up the ground as a spear, according to Jared's desire. The ground, transformed into a spear of the earth, strikes like a tsunami. Dennis alone would be avoided without difficulty. But behind him are falling Cassandra and Rasmus. It was interesting to see if I would help, leave it, and how I would react.
"Shadow, penetrate."
Countless shadows jump out of Dennis's shadow and go wild. Destroy the waves of ground that strike and kill the momentum. He hugged Cassandra and Rasmus, who were falling into that slight gap, and made a huge jump to the second floor terrace of the mansion. Keep it up, jump again and land behind Jared.
"... you're in the way when you have luggage"
"Right. I have a little problem dealing with you. But that's why you can't even throw it out."
"I'll tell you what, I like you. I'm looking out for you, and I don't want to fight if I can."
"I agree. But if I don't fight, you'll kill Cassandra"
"Oh, I'll kill you without hesitation"
"Then I must defeat Lord Jared."
"... too bad"
"Yeah, really"
The two smiled somewhere troubled when they said so. The next moment,
"Shoot him, you groundgun!
"Restraint and pull away!
The raised ground is regenerated and released into spears greater than twenty shattered. The muscles of the shadows stretched from the shadows were stretched in a straight line.
