During the battle with Father Gapon, we were somehow moving to the vicinity of where Lucy was being held.

And Lucy, who had lost her mind, woke up.

Lucy tried to move, and the chain of restraints made a noise and swayed.

"Solon... get me... you can't come to help me."

Lucy's voice was bitter.

Perhaps the effect of the ritual of trying to be the reign of the demon king is already out there.

"Dr. Lucy, don't you want to be helpful?

To my words, Lucy shook her head sideways as she sifted.

Red hair disturbs.

"Nor do I want to be a sacrifice for the resurrection of the Demon King. But..."

"Be sure it's me and Master Philia, and I'll try to get the teacher out."

Lucy said in a weak voice, but happily "thank you".

I turned to Father Gapon.

"I was wondering if the three of us could give up a little, let me talk"

I don't care.

That's what Gapon said, putting down the bronze cane.

I didn't miss the colour of fatigue on that face.

Gapon only borrows part of the power of the Demon King, so maybe he can't use that power indefinitely.

Anyway, I was able to get some time.

We can also afford to keep doing restorative magic against Claire, who has lost consciousness because of it.

"Dr. Lucy, I need you to tell me something."

I threw a question at Lucy.

That's how Lucy used the magic book she wrote.

If what Lucille was saying was true, what was written there was supposed to be supportive magic with tremendous effect.

But if Phyllia uses it against me, it won't work.

I should have gone the right way.

Lucy opened her crimson eyes wide.

"That's... yes. If Phyllia uses that magic against Solon, it won't work."

I wonder what that means?

Lucy should have told Lucille, "What I and Philia need," that magic book.

And Lucille said the contents of the magic book were supportive magic.

So I naturally think it means that Philia uses magic on me to boost my abilities and favor the two of us fighting.

"Solon, that's not true. That magic book has a technique that mimics the power of Shalva, the demon king of Alemania. Although it is supportive magic, it is necessary to be a descendant of the Demon King in order to speak out its effects. So... that's what Philia uses for herself."

I opened my eyes.

I was led by Lucille's words to assume it was supportive magic to strengthen me.

But even Lucille didn't know the contents of the Apocalypse in detail.

"But if it's not backup magic against me, how come that magic book is what Philia and Solon both need?"

"'Cause it's what it takes for you to be strong, isn't it? Because you are the master of Philia."

Lucy laughed.

That means there was a fundamental misunderstanding.

The use of the Book of Magic is a trump card to beat Gapon.

Already Phyllia has mastered the use of the Book of Magic.

You can put that on yourself, not me.

"Dear Philia...... can you?

"Yeah... but... what if I fail?

The Magic Book can only be used once, even considering the amount of magic.

I stood back and gazed at Philia.

And I smiled.

"Master Philia is not helpless anymore. I'm sure you can."

"Really?"

"Really, it is. To be a good magician, you need to believe in yourself. As long as you can trust yourself, people can change."

"But why should I believe in me?

I put my hands on Phyllia's head.

"I believe in Master Philia. So, believe me, Philia, too. Can't you do that?"

Philia stared at me with blue eyes, and smiled softly.

"Yeah...... ok!

Rotating the wand of the apple tree, Phyllia retrieved the Book of Magic.

One breath down, activate the magic.

The wand shines red, causing a tremendous amount of magic running.

And that magic stream became a red light, enveloping Philia.

The use of the Magic Book is a success.

And -.

"This is..."

I was surprised, and I looked back at Lucy.

Lucy gave a naughty grin.

"The ancient kingdom of Alemania. It is the power of my Magic Book that gives me the ability to activate the flaming magic that the Demon King used."

Usually silver filia hair glowed red, reminiscent of burning heat.

And my eyes are stained with crimson.

Philia put a red light all over her body, staring at her body as if surprised.

"Simply put, this book of magic is a magic to create a 'crimson filia'."

I nodded at Lucy's words.

Filia, whose whole body was colored in crimson, was beautiful.

It is wrapped in an aura characteristic of something with overwhelming power.

Philia stared at me with red eyes, and I nodded back, too.

And Philia declares to Father Gapon.

"We will never surrender! With my hand, victory over the Solons!
