Joey’s eyes look at Lucy flying in the air.

He sees her pushing him away, taking the attack instead, and rising into the air.

I see someone who flies without wings and ignores gravity.

Even though it was natural for her eyes to close, Joy watched Lucy go up in a daze.

And soon after, boom! A voice is heard.

Compared to the rise that seemed like an eternity, the fall was an instant.

When Joey saw Lucy falling to the floor and involuntarily making a sound of pain, he forgot where he was and just stared blankly at where she was.

because of me.

Because I couldn’t deal with it.

Because I didn’t notice.

Youngae.

Lady Aln.

Teuong!

Joey, who belatedly came to his senses when he heard the sound of hitting something, checked the tree roots blocked by the sacred barrier and took a step back.

“Prince! Lady Kent! Please respond to the attack!”

“For now, I’ll do my best!”

“Plural. I have to do it.”

“and.”

– Kuaa!

The bear’s cry eats up all the sounds that exist in the space.

At that moment when everyone inadvertently covers their ears to the ear-splitting sound, the bear prepares to charge.

A bear with a large body seemed to be slow on the outside.

The reality was different.

As soon as the bear took a stance, the new model disappeared.

Quaaaang!

Frete was standing beyond the impact sound that made my skin tingle.

The blood vessels were clearly visible all over his body as he blocked the bear’s massive body with both hands while wearing leather gloves containing the goddess’s blessing.

“I will deal with this! Everyone, please focus on dealing with that tree!”

Frete struck the bear between the eyes to make it retreat and pulled out a sword from his belt.

The sword with its brilliant light revealed a clear presence even in this place filled with disturbing energy.

Coo!

Even as Frete was dealing with the bear, tree roots were hitting the sacred barrier.

Faybe was doing her best to maintain the wall, but it was clear to anyone that the wall would soon come down.

“Saint. Get rid of it.”

“However, there is still no way to distinguish between real and fake.”

“Because it’s okay.”

Fabi nods at Frey’s firm tone.

“I’ll count to three.”

“Yes.”

three.

two.

one.

At the signal, the moment Faby erased the barrier, Frey’s sword sliced through the air.

This is followed by the sound of something falling on the floor.

Lining the floor were tree roots dyed black.

“Don’t believe your eyes. It could be real or it could be fake.”

“How to distinguish?”

“You know it when you see it.”

“Damn. You’re not helpful!”

While Arthur and Frey blocked the tree roots that flew in succession, Lucy staggered to her feet.

It must have been a great shock to see that the armor on her abdomen was dented, but she rejected Fabi’s holy magic and grabbed her shield and mace again.

“Do you think I would have a hard time because I was hit by a thread like that? Don’t do anything stupid and just do your job. A poor saint.”

Joey caught the sight of Lucy taking a strong step forward.

Many small wounds carved into my skin from repeated battles so far.

Hair that has lost its shine due to being covered in all kinds of things due to always being on the front line.

The area around your eyes that feels tired.

Lucy, who always led everyone from the front, must have had it harder than anyone else.

Even if you don’t show it, you’re probably tired. He must have been holding a lot of pain in his heart.

You probably didn’t want to stand up. Nevertheless, Lucy tried to move forward again.

Quang!

Lucy suddenly approaches and hits Joey’s side, causing tree roots that did not exist just moments ago to fall to the ground.

Joey was once again protected by Lucy.

“Puhaha. Look at the expression. Why are you making a stupid face when I’m the one who got hit? Are you going to cry and cry?”

“Sorry…”

“Idiot.”

Lucy raises her voice as if to cut off Joey’s inadvertent attempt to apologize.

“Don’t be mistaken. I did what I had to do.”

“…”

“So, you do your job too. If you don’t want to be treated like an idiot.”

After laughing, Lucy turns around.

Behind his back, which was as small as a child but looked very large, Joey added strength to the hand holding the cane.

She was right.

Only in this way will we have to remain in a position that is protected forever.

Instead of standing next to Lucy, you should always be behind her.

Joey didn’t want to do that.

I didn’t want to be Lucy’s burden.

As she knows, friends are relationships that help each other, not relationships in which people receive help one-sidedly.

What can I do now?

Attacking that tree with magic?

Does that really mean anything?

Could an attack I created on the spot, without any preparation, have any meaning to that powerful being?

Assisting your friends?

This is something that Fabi will take care of even if it’s not me.

If I try to get in between them, it will only be a hindrance.

So what should I do?

I can’t even stand on the front line like Arthur.

It’s not like Lucy can understand everything about the other person.

What am I, who doesn’t have overwhelming power?

there is.

What I can do.

Something only I can do.

“Phew.”

She took a deep breath, tightened her grip on her staff, and spread her magical power around.

There is something that people who study the science of magic often say.

All phenomena that exist in this world can be analyzed and reproduced through magic.

Some people laugh it off and say it’s the nonsense of magical madmen, but Joy knew that it wasn’t completely wrong.

Because she knows the person who showed him in person.

The strongest wizard in the current kingdom.

Her first teacher.

The best wizard Joey knows.

Still remembering the sight her father, the owner of Patran, had shown her, she decided to challenge herself to reach the sight she thought she would never reach.

Convinced that the magic had sufficiently spread, Joy closed her eyes and observed the magic of nature moving within her magic.

“Is it barely this much?♡ The roots are small, so there’s no strength♡”

Instead of looking at the world as a world.

“Prince. That’s fake.”

“Damn it! How on earth do you two tell this apart!”

Rather than seeing the phenomenon as a phenomenon.

“Great Lord. Drive away negativity.”

The thinking of a wizard who wants to analyze even miracles.

In it, Joy recalled the magic she had learned so far.

Did you say that the origin of magic began with trying to reproduce the miracles of nature?

At the time, I thought it was just a story of history, but it turned out to be more important than I thought.

If the origin of magic is the reproduction of nature, then the reverse is also possible.

Is it possible. I can do it right now.

Any parts that cannot be confirmed by guessing are replaced with magical knowledge.

Still, parts that seem difficult can be supplemented by using multiple magic circles.

You don’t have to worry about the amount of horsepower.

Because the gift the Lady gave me is still attached to my body.

Joy opened her eyes again and waved her wand with a fierce smile that was not typical of a noble lady.

Her magic power spread in the air, creating a magic circle. Magic that can never be taught at the academy.

It’s something that’s so intertwined that it’s ambiguous to even call it magic.

If someone sees it, they will wonder if it will be activated.

Although the magic circle looked so flimsy, Joy had no doubts about what she had created.

“Let’s go.”

The moment Joy’s magic was revealed.

I see things that were invisible.

Things that were visible start to blur.

A miracle that interprets and destroys the power of the void located in space through magic.

Joey, who had used up all of his magical energy to do this, collapsed on the floor from exhaustion, but when he heard a clear laugh, he forced his head up.

Lucy’s eyes.

Her eyes filled with sincere joy.

He was praising Joey.

“If you can do something like this, why have you been so stupid all this time? Did the main character get sick? Idiot Joey?!”

Joey raised his eyebrows when he heard Lucy call his name, then smiled and strengthened his hand holding the cane.

It feels like I’m going to collapse at any moment, but the fight isn’t over yet.

Rather, it seems like it has just begun.

It’s okay to just relax, even after this is all over.

“You are talking nonsense.”

A boiling voice from far away fills the entire cavity.

Red eyes are looking at Joy from behind the bandage covering her face.

“Do you think I can’t handle something like this?”

An overwhelming force weighs on Joy and threatens to destroy her magic.

“I can’t do it♡ You idiot♡”

What stood in the way was a small shoulder that was more reliable than anything else.

A sun-like divinity extending from a small body chases away the disturbing energy directed at Joy.

“Do you think I would allow that?♡ I guess my brain is rotten and my head can’t move?♡”

“Don’t think that Joey is the only one who can stand against you.”

As if to follow, Faby’s divinity is overlaid on Joy’s magic.

The saint’s divinity, which does not allow denial, confirms the miracle that Joy caused.

“Now it’s getting fun. Can you run me properly?”

Arthur, who was finally able to distinguish between hallucinations, smiled and tightened his sword.

“I’m no longer having fun.”

Frey expressed his disappointment at the fact that his opponent had become weaker and placed an auror on his sword.

“No more obstacles.”

Fabi bestows blessings on everyone around her.

“Get ready to get ripped off♡ You idiot who can’t do anything without help♡”

Lucy adds divinity to her mace.

Joey, who saw the whole scene from behind, lifted himself up using his cane as support and proudly stood next to him.

The time has come to seek revenge on the nightmare of the past.
