Phyllia succeeded in using the Book of Magic.

Phyllia, whose hair and eyes changed to crimson, pointed the magic wand straight at Gapon.

Gapon is a priest and not a magician.

So you wouldn't have been able to understand exactly the power of the Book of Magic used by Philia

But he understood that something unusual had happened to Gapon, too.

"Wasted Ascension..."

When Gapon threw up on the abominable gee, he turned his bronze wand on us once again and released a bullet of light.

I put up a treasure sword and try to prevent it.

But it didn't have to be.

As Phyllia waved her wand, a flame of momentum spread to the point of burning down all one side per, swallowing the bullet of light.

"This is... of the Book of Magic... the power of another demon king..."

Phyllia snapped.

"The Flame of the King (Chalet Shola). Yes, it is the magic called in ancient Alemanian literature. The Flaming Magic of Shalva the Demon King,"

Lucy says.

Sharva, one of the seven demon kings.

It is a presence sealed in ancient Alemania. Lucy created the Book of Magic by reproducing the magical manoeuvres that the Demon King used.

So, the magic requires a lot of magic, but Philia, the descendant of the Demon King, can use it with that enormous amount of magic.

"But didn't you use a significant portion of your magic power in the use of the Apocalypse just now?

"Yeah, it seems fine. It kind of feels like the power is all over me."

That was the same for me.

Me and Philia share a magic circuit.

The Book of Magic didn't directly reinforce me.

Nevertheless, I am also benefiting from the increased power of Philia.

Because, yes.

"Will Philia spark the bullet of Gapon's light and the statue of the god with flames? In time, shoot the most powerful flame magic possible against Gapon"

"You destroy the magic barrier, don't you?

"Yes, but use magic as far as you can't help it."

It's not like the amount of magic in Filia is infinite either.

But Philia smiled.

"It's okay."

I nodded and told him that if I destroyed the magic barrier, I would attack Gapon directly.

Now Philia must be able to destroy the power of Gapon's Demon King.

When I entrusted Lucy with Claire, I moved on.

Gapon invokes about twenty new statues of God, but by the flames unleashed by Philia, they melted in an instant.

Tongue pounding, Gapon waved his wand again, but nothing emerged.

As you can imagine, it's out of magic. The reason Gapon advised us to surrender must have been because it was difficult to keep fighting.

I approached Gapon.

Shake the treasure sword Tetracord.

The first blow cannot destroy the magic barrier.

But...

"The King's Flame!"

With Phyllia screaming, the whirlwind of the flame hits Gapon directly over my head.

That should be the power of the Demon King, or wrapped in a tremendous amount of flames, Gapon's magic barrier was not destroyed immediately.

But even compared to the advanced flame magic used by Lucy, Philia's "Flame of the Kings (Shahe Shawla)" had an overwhelming power.

Eventually, Gapon's magic barrier collapses.

Still, Gapon didn't give up, trying to shake a bronze cane.

But it's late.

Me, the Magic Swordsman, and Father Gapon, have a different ability to fight melee.

My sword captured Gapon and pierced his abdomen deeply.

Gapon collapses on the spot.

Silence dominated the scene.

I won, it seems.

But Gapon isn't dead yet.

It is forbidden to be alarmed.

I looked down at Gapon.

The seriously wounded gapon groaned, but looked up at me.

"Kill me. Magic Swordsman Solon"

"Oh."

Though I answered, I hesitated.

Gapon once risked his life for the people and resisted the empire.

He was a good priest.

But Gapon gave up on changing empires and began to raise anti-government organisations human beings to blood festivals as part of the imperial government.

Whatever the July Party executives are, as they all killed to that innocent family. It's the tip of the iceberg, and Gapon has slaughtered many humans.

"So I deserve to die, too. Better than losing. It must also mean that God has called."

"... ok"

"Be the soul of the Spirit, will you and Her Royal Highness be able to change the Empire… let's watch"

And I was lost, but the next moment, Gapon threw up blood and fell, and stopped moving forever.

A fine sword slit Gapon's throat.

"This was originally our fight."

Leticia stood next to me.

It was Leticia who stabbed Gapon with a stop.

Leticia is seriously injured, but it seemed possible to move.

And Leticia thanked me politely.

Looking around, Lucille was up and sighing of relief.

Sophia also seems to have returned from the damage of the blow. Smiling, she is clairing the healing magic she specializes in.

The Claire was also regaining consciousness.

Guys, it looks like we're safe.

I walked and went to Philia and Lucy.

Philia had already returned to her original silver-haired blue-eyed appearance.

"Solon... you won"

"Yes, thanks to Dear Philia for this victory"

"Yeah, thanks to Solon for teaching me how to use the Book of Magic as a master."

"The most important thing is that Master Filia can now believe in herself. Now you're one step closer to a magician in public."

As I sneezed and stroked Phyllia's hair, Phyllia smiled as if she was unraveling.

And then I turn back to Lucy.

"Solon...... sorry about this one. I caused you a lot of trouble."

"Don't worry about that. I'm so glad Dr. Lucy's okay."

I turned my back and unlocked Lucy's restraint chain.

Lucy stood up, but she fluttered to see if something was wrong.

I hugged Lucy in a hurry.

As a surprise, Lucy stared at me with crimson eyes, and blushed.

"Sooo... Solon"

"Are you okay, Doctor?

"Right...... it's okay, as long as you're here"

Even though the battle against Gapon has been settled, Lucy and the others, as members of the Free Alliance, remain under suspicion of treason.

Lucy and the others have to flee the country, and they can't be in my mansion anymore.

"It's going to be tough"

I said.

The same goes for Lucy and the rest of us, and what will await us and what will happen to the Empire.

Everything is unknown.

Lucy tells me to hold onto him and whisper.

"To Alemania. I think me and Leticia are going to run away. But I didn't give up making Philia emperor. Because that's the best choice for the Empire... and I think it's the best path for Philia herself and for me and your future"

"Right. I have to think about what I'm going to do."

"Yeah. You know... Solon. We'll be apart... even if we're far away, because our path is bound to lead us to the same place"

And Lucy gently brings those lips closer to me...

Layered it on my lips.

It took me a while to realize that I had been kissed.

It smelled fluffy and sweet about Lucy, and after a while, Lucy walked away from me.

When I opened my eyes, Lucy laughed embarrassingly.

'Cause that's what I'm talking about.

I wandered.

Uh?

Does this mean Lucy likes me?

"That I like you as a heterosexual, not as a master"

That's what Lucy said, and she laughed.

I panicked and looked around. Sophia and Claire look stunned.

And Philia was staring at us with blue eyes, blushing her cheeks.

"Lucy... you can't run out!
