by fnovelpia“Because you won’t be able to pass through here.”
Isabelle held her staff like a baton.
In resonance with the moon, a red aura was gently emanating from his entire body. This is proof that the witch’s abilities are being activated to their full potential.
Her natural abilities as a witch.
The power of prophecy.
That’s why Caesar couldn’t understand.
“Are you going to stop it in that state? Or is he hiding a secret number?”
“Well~ Take a guess.”
No matter how I looked at it, it only seemed like a bluff.
I did my best to weaken the barrier, allowing Rauf to escape, and I alone reversed and defended against all attacks. Even if you look at it, it’s not in good condition.
but… .
There was one strange thing.
Why did they bother to let the driver escape?
By sacrificing yourself.
Is there something I don’t know?
He is clearly a person with outstanding skills and the ability to prophesy. If I had fought with determination, there is no way I would have been attacked so easily.
Then, there is something more important… .
“… There must be something to that knight.”
“Hmm~ I’m so quick-witted that it’s almost annoying.”
Caesar glanced briefly behind him.
“I will break the barrier of the Magic Tower, so you three chase after the swordsman and kill him. If the three work together, we can win.”
“Yes.”
“Please leave it to me.”
Caesar stretched out his hand toward the magic tower.
Ugh!!!
The top of the tower resonates. The barrier from above the Magic Tower began to disappear.
Isabelle laughed empty-handedly at that.
“Haha… You solve it without too much hesitation? Did you think I couldn’t escape now?”
“If I had the resources, I wouldn’t waste time like that. Now you are just bluffing. If you can run away with that body, try it.”
“… This is why he is so quick-witted.”
“Go.”
“Yes.”
Swish!
The three magic tower elders each use speed or movement magic and move forward quickly.
Isabelle just let it go.
This… Because it goes according to plan.
The odds were half, but fortunately the three chased after Rauf. It doesn’t matter because Rauf is going to disappear in a disposable magic circle anyway. During the trip, I drew a magic circle near my destination in advance, so the rest will take care of itself.
So, for now, I focused on Caesar.
The guy said some additional threatening words.
“You are an 8-star wizard and you are also young. I wish I could use you as an experiment at this point… The ability is too dangerous for that. So, I will kill you and use only your body as an experiment.”
Now it’s your turn to survive against that experimenter.
But is it possible?
My mana was depleted as I tried to break through the barrier. Since I couldn’t completely block the enemy’s attacks, my physical condition was not good.
chuck.
But I adjusted my cane.
“It won’t be easy. Young guy.”
Even if you get hurt.
Even if you know the ending.
I have no choice but to do it.
To prevent the destruction of Edeline.
For everyone.
“You’re still bluffing.”
Caesar makes a move.
first of all… .
Turn left and take three quick steps.
“ᚾᚨᛚᛒᛖᚨᛚᚲ.”
Lightning strikes.
Kwaaaang!!
A thin bolt of lightning struck where I was just standing.
Shoo!!
Before I knew it, Caesar came forward. It was an agile move for a war mage.
It is impossible to see, avoid or block.
Close combat is absolutely lost.
So, I looked into the future.
Here, push the cane straight out diagonally.
Pop!
“Huh?… .”
Neither attack nor defense, but blocking. It collided with Caesar’s wrist as he tried to swing it. Now that the wand scimitar had stopped awkwardly, he pushed forward and passed by and ran away.
“The remaining tricks!!”
Caesar, enraged that the attack was so absurdly blocked, cast magic again.
You can’t face it head on.
Let’s focus.
Let’s feel it.
Let us accept everything from the red moon.
Look into the future.
Predict the number immediately preceding.
Know your enemy’s next move.
this time… Jump high.
right now.
fault!
“ᚦᛟᛗᚨᚦᛁ᛬ᚾᚨᛏ, ᚾᚨᛚᛋ᛬ᛞᚨᚾᚢᚾ᛬ᚷᚢᛏᚮ”
Harvest sickle. Rampant orbit.
Shashajak!!
The bushes were all cut and an unpleasant feeling of anticipation passed through my ankles.
If I had been a little late, my leg would have been cut off.
But it is too early to be relieved.
The next future is a flying window.
Swish!
Immediately, he turned his body in the air and swung the staff horizontally while holding it vertically.
“ᛋᛁᚾᛋᚬᚲ, ᚦᚨᛁᛋ᛫ᚷᚢ, ᚷᚢᛏᚮ᛬ᚹᚨᚾᛋᛁᛗᛚᛖᚲ᛬ᛒᚢᛋᚨ.”
Grants speed, tracking, and orbital centrifugal force.
Wow!!!
“Pfft!!… .”
Caesar’s staff collided with the scimitar.
As a result of the powerful impact, Caesar’s weapon flew backwards and spun back to where it came from.
Tup!!
Caesar, who had leapt ahead, retrieves his staff and spear and closes the distance.
Isabelle constantly predicted the future.
If it is the immediate future, the accuracy is high.
It was difficult to avoid this time, so as soon as I landed, I extended my staff forward and shouted.
“ᚷᚨᚱᚾᚨᚹᛁ᛬ᛈᚨᚾᛋ᛬ᚺᚢ᛬”
A roar of high fever.
“Inhale!!”
Caesar, slightly embarrassed, twisted his body and cast a simple protection spell without chanting.
However, the magic was not actually fired.
There isn’t much mana left to begin with.
You can’t waste mana on useless things.
In other words, it was a real bluff.
But this put Caesar on guard and slowed down. This is enough. He turned around and ran and cast real magic.
Perhaps the last magic.
“ᛁᛚᛚᚬᚾᛁ᛬ᚢᚱᚢ᛬ᛋᛁᚾᚷᛁᛚᚢ, ᚺᚬᚾ᛬ᛁ᛬ᛒᛟᚴ, ”
A shimmering mirage, a phantom stride, a flash of movement.
Wow profit!!
It quickly bounced around the forest, leaving behind dizzying afterimages and illusions.
“Ha… Now I only have leftover talents!!”
Thanks to this, Caesar, who had slowed down by using defensive magic, shouted loudly and leaped again. Caesar was much faster in terms of speed itself, perhaps due to the use of multiple layers of movement magic.
Hwii~
Swish!!
However, Caesar could not easily chase after the illusion as it split into several parts and disappeared in the forest.
You can’t follow it with your eyes.
Tracked it with detection magic.
That’s how much time passes.
Isabelle just ran away and wasted time. This is because only if you take a lot of time, you can create a foundation for a better future.
Until the moon rises high above.
ran away and ran away
It seemed like he could be caught, but he wasn’t caught.
By predicting the attack with future foreknowledge, even fatal injuries could be avoided.
How long has it been like that?
The point at which the magic effect has already ended.
Running away is becoming increasingly difficult.
Isabelle’s level was high, but she had no talent in close combat or physical strength.
Now my physical strength has reached its limit.
The speed slowed down noticeably.
“How long are you planning on running away!!”
At this, Caesar approaches, shouting.
I couldn’t say anything and just… I ran endlessly, just out of breath.
“This is the end of wasting time!!”
I saw it at that moment.
There is a high probability that the future will be pierced.
Immediately twist your body –
Fuhoo!!!
“Big!!… … .”
It’s already late.
He was pierced in the abdomen by a cane spear thrown by Caesar. Then, as if magic had been used, the spear remained stuck, thorns sprouted, and spun.
Quad deuk!!
The sound of internal organs being twisted and torn apart.
“K!!… … … .”
My eyes open wide.
Saliva is leaking out of nowhere.
It’s really limited.
I don’t even have the energy to breathe.
dump.
I got down on my knees.
Caesar approaches.
Maybe it was because he knew he couldn’t run away now. His steps were leisurely.
Many thoughts pass through my mind.
I knew this would happen a long time ago.
Still, why did you make this choice?
He could have lived in hiding with Fiona without any interference.
Without pain.
comfortably.
Until it disappears for a long time.
I could have lived longer.
Why did you leave everything behind and end up like this?
“What on earth is the purpose? What do you gain by taking my time like this?”
that… .
“… … what… Two… future… … … .”
“… That sounds inexplicable. Even so, you won’t be there, so what’s the use of it all?”
Know.
Even if you win against slim odds, you won’t be there.
Still, if there is one thing I wish for.
“Atonement… … .”
“Hmm?”
“Now… I won’t abandon you… … .”
My eyes are blurry.
I recalled the distant past.
I reminisced about my life before I became addicted to alcohol.
The year I just became an adult.
While wandering around human villages to learn about the world, a witch hunt began, and for some reason, at that moment, she was awakened as a witch of prophecy.
There are two futures ahead.
Return to the witch village and fight and die together.
Just pretend not to notice and run away alone.
at that time… Isabelle chose the latter.
I pretended not to know, thinking that I must have seen it wrong and that it couldn’t really be like this.
That’s how I survived alone.
I cowardly lived in hiding.
I wish I knew.
I pretended not to notice.
When I returned later, the witches were nowhere to be seen.
There were only traces of destruction and graves.
After that, I started drinking.
The prophecy ability fades and the probability decreases.
I lived in hiding, drinking a lot.
A shallow life.
It is atonement for that.
Because I’m tired of living like this now.
Moreover, Aegis was the one who first started the witch hunt. To find God’s secrets and tomb, he captured, experimented on, and killed witches.
The only way to atone was now. I wanted to take revenge and apologize for my mistakes.
That’s why I smiled weakly.
It’s just my own opinion… .
Isn’t that enough?
I slowly accepted it.
I engraved my will in my heart.
‘It’s Fiona… … Even without me, you will be able to do well.’
Look at me.
The light fell.
Blue light is shining here.
The red moon is blooming blue.
This is proof that enough time was taken.
I looked up blankly at the beautiful moonlight.
Even though it was out of focus, I could see that it was beautiful.
A mysterious aura hovers around the eyes.
In this way, I gradually fall into a deeper trance.
Consciousness is sucked beyond the moon.
Everything falls apart.
At that moment she saw.
A scene that passed by like a fantasy.
Last prediction.
“Ah… … … .”
A pillar of light spreading across the entire continent.
“Ah… iced coffee… … .”
What did you see there?
She wriggled with a final blessing of blue moonlight.
like that… Withered.
“… Is he dead?”
Caesar looked down at Isabelle, who was now motionless, for a moment, then pulled out his staff and spear.
Phew!… .
Rumbling… … .
Blood is leaking out profusely.
Isabelle just stiffened and continued to look up at the moon.
She was smiling slightly in the blue moonlight.
“… … Goodbye.”
Wow!!-
I cut my throat.
Caesar turned his back.
The end of the fight was surprisingly calm.
*
[Oh my… It’s my child… … .]
“… … … .”
I felt sad.
I felt a sad feeling.
I see the red moon fading.
The red and warm moon that was always with me was no longer felt well.
The entire world begins to turn dark.
[In the end, everything is bound to be lost.]
It’s painful, sad, and painful.
I don’t want to do anything.
I want to sleep forever.
I want to let it all go.
I want to disappear in peace.
I am intoxicated with that feeling and sink deeply.
Then, a dazzlingly blue woman wraps her arms around you and points to the side.
[Oh my… If you are afraid to move forward, look to the side.]
I looked at the place the woman pointed to.
I saw a boy without his right arm.
ah… .
Why did I only find out about this now?
Strange feeling.
A sorrowful voice that brings tears to your eyes when you hear it tickles your ears.
“… please… … Open your eyes… please… … … .”
Someone is desperately calling.
I hope you don’t leave.
I really hate it.
I wanted to give up everything.
If you call me that… .
[If you are afraid to move forward, carry it with the person next to you.]
I want to disappear like this.
I don’t want to do anything.
I tried to let it all go.
I wanted to rest now.
however.
Nevertheless… .
You have to stand up.
[Shouldn’t you open your eyes now?]
I am… .
Because she’s an Indian witch.
Flash.
Eyes filled with blue moonlight opened.
A very quiet atmosphere spreads.
The first witch.
Luna’s power has awakened.
