Chapter Index

    “Wade… !!”

    “Mr. Wade… !!”

    Seeing Wade open his eyes, Rachel and Ira shouted at such a speed that it could be said at the same time.

    “… You did it.”

    Alexis’s face, which had only seen darkness a moment ago, finally showed a faint smile.

    The reactions of others were not much different.

    Like people who have finally seen the light in the abyss of despair, a light of hope appeared on their faces.

    Receiving those eyes.

    Wade slowly raised his sword and immediately swung it.

    OK.

    Sigh─

    The horde of monsters that filled the surrounding area was instantly split in two.

    ““… … !!””

    Everyone who witnessed the scene opened their mouths wide and were shocked.

    Although not all the monsters disappeared, what seemed like hundreds of monsters were split in two at once by that single blow.

    That divine status was clearly beyond the realm of humans.

    But just one.

    There was someone who did not pay the slightest attention to that amazing sight.

    It was the religious leader.

    The sect leader did not even look in that direction and was just staring blankly at the spheres of energy scattered in vain.

    How long has it been like that?

    The leader soon lowered his head and shifted his gaze.

    Towards Wade, the cause that created that whole situation.

    “… Wade, Heblon.”

    The leader recited Wade’s name as if he were spitting it out.

    Although the eyes were full of red and no white, emotions were clearly stirring in those strange eyes.

    However, Wade, who was actually involved, did not pay any attention to those gazes.

    Wade’s eyes quickly turned, like a person who had finished his work.

    Toward Mary, the woman floating in the air.

    At that time, for the first time, movement appeared in that face that was still and motionless as if it were sleeping, tied in the air as if it were fixed.

    Her eyelids twitched and then slowly began to open.

    “… … .”

    Sky blue eyes reminiscent of a clear sky without a single cloud appeared in the world.

    His eyes were blank, like someone who had just woken up from sleep.

    In that dazed state, Mary slowly began to look around.

    Huge crater.

    The monsters that filled that place.

    And, familiar faces looking up at them from the ground.

    As she passed each one, Mary’s eyes became a little clearer.

    Eventually, her gaze, scanning the surroundings, stopped the moment she spotted a man’s face.

    and.

    “… Way, de… ?”

    A weak voice escaped her lips.

    “Mary.”

    Then, the man, Wade, called her name.

    At that calm and gentle voice, Mary’s eyes became clearly clearer.

    “… Wade.”

    Definitely more powerful than before.

    However, a somewhat cautious voice came out of her mouth again.

    “Really… Is it Wade?”

    It’s like he can’t believe it.

    Mary was suspicious.

    He wondered if this scene he was seeing was a dream.

    Her eyes were shaking.

    All kinds of indescribable emotions were mixed together, and he was only looking at Wade.

    and.

    “Then who would it be?”

    Wade looked straight into Mary’s eyes and smiled softly.

    “… … !”

    Looking at that smile, Mary recognized.

    That this situation right now is not a dream.

    Wade is really alive.

    That he survived and returned to his side.

    “… Wade. Wade… !”

    Mary shouted Wade’s name one after another.

    I shouted the longed-for name with all my might.

    And Wade looked at Mary like that with gentle eyes.

    So, the two were finally truly reunited.

    however.

    “Amazing.”

    The voice that came between the two instantly ruined the difficult atmosphere of the reunion.

    “Not only did he come back alive from the engulfed world, but he also rescued Mary Bluenoa safely. This… It’s really unexpected. I really thought I would fail this time.”

    In a calm voice, the religious leader continued.

    “That’s amazing. That’s amazing, Wade Heblon.”

    It was difficult to read the emotions in those red eyes because there were no pupils, but everyone there knew that the emotions in those eyes were not favorable at all.

    “ He was falsely accused of abandoning a very useful doll called the prince of the empire, and even tried to kill him by moving the swordsman, but he managed to survive. He prevented the revival of Armianon, which the church had put a lot of effort into, and was about to complete his great work. Even for a moment, he stuck his head in and blocked my path… … . Be persistent. Really, she is so persistent.”

    The cult leader’s eyes twinkled.

    “I can almost remember the face of that abominable bastard.”

    As if reminiscing about something, the leader’s gaze, which had briefly looked into space, returned to Wade again.

    “At this point, I have no choice but to admit it. That you are my and the church’s archenemy. And, you pushed me all the way to the end.”

    However.

    “Isn’t it too early to feel safe?”

    As soon as those words fell.

    Huh!

    The wind blew.

    The wind was so strong that it was difficult to even stand properly.

    The cause of that stormy wind was none other than Mary.

    An ominous energy was flowing out of Mary’s body like an explosion, and the air around her was shaking in its wake.

    “We, Wade… !”

    “Mary… !”

    Mary, who noticed her strange behavior, called Wade with a very embarrassed expression.

    Wade also called Mary’s name with shaking eyes.

    It wasn’t just the two of them who were embarrassed.

    “Miss Mary… !”

    “Blue Noah… !”

    Everyone noticed Mary’s strange behavior and was confused.

    In their ears, they were confused and couldn’t figure out what was happening.

    “… Miss Mary’s abilities are running wild.”

    Veluid’s heavily subdued voice was heard.

    Faster than anyone else, Wade turned his head towards Belude.

    Belude met Wade’s gaze and continued speaking.

    “Her abilities seem to be completely out of her control right now.”

    “That… … .”

    At those words, Wade frowned.

    Soon Wade’s head turned again.

    Because I had a good idea of who would do this.

    Sure enough, the leader was looking at them and Wade with a bright smile on his face.

    “Because I have been treated harshly in the past. I made some preparations just in case.”

    Seeing Wade’s distorted expression, the leader smiled as if he was truly satisfied.

    Then, he raised his arms in a grand manner.

    That’s scary.

    Ugh—!

    The entire space began to vibrate.

    Everyone immediately noticed where the vibration was coming from.

    The place where the first religious leader turned his back.

    The place, which had been shaking so much that the distortion of space was clearly visible, was trembling even more violently.

    “Wade Heblon, all your efforts will be in vain. The great work will be accomplished in the end.”

    The religious leader’s expression as he said that was extremely calm.

    There seemed to be no doubt that the great work would be accomplished.

    Seeing the relaxed appearance, Wade held the sword as if it were going to break.

    As if he was going to swing his sword at any moment.

    However, it was as if he had read the movements.

    “Let me tell you in advance, there is no point in killing me. Mary Blue Noah’s abilities are now beyond my control.”

    “… … .”

    At those words, Wade quietly bit his lip.

    It was because I knew with my intuition that what the religious leader said was not a lie.

    Even if you kill the cult leader, Mary’s rampage will not stop.

    I felt that confident.

    Wade, who had been quietly exasperated, turned his head again.

    “… Is there no way?”

    Wade asked a question to Belude, who was quietly watching the whole situation.

    Beluid looked closely at Mary’s condition again.

    “… I think it would be difficult for my abilities.”

    Soon, he shook his head with a dark face.

    If it were obvious, it was an obvious answer.

    Bringing Mary back to where she was before she went berserk was impossible with Veluid’s abilities.

    But now, on top of that, he was running rampant.

    This was no longer a situation that could be done with Veluid’s power.

    ““… … .””

    Silence fell in the audience.

    Everyone held their breath and just watched Mary run wild without saying a word.

    It was because I knew.

    That they cannot solve this situation on their own.

    That heavy silence was broken.

    “… Wade.”

    It was none other than Mary’s voice.

    Mary quietly called Wade, and Wade’s gaze naturally turned to Mary’s eyes.

    Just like that, their eyes met.

    “Wade, kill me.”

    Mary made a shocking request in a calm voice.

    “Mary… ! What is that… !!”

    “Miss Mary… !”

    “What on earth are you talking about…? !!”

    Everyone was excited, and Wade’s expression became distorted.

    Wade usually doesn’t even change his facial expression.

    There was no way Mary didn’t know that Wade reacting like that meant he was quite angry.

    However, despite knowing that.

    “Kill me.”

    Mary said the same thing.

    “Mary… !”

    On a rare occasion, Wade raised his voice and called Mary’s name, but Mary did not stop talking.

    “Wade knows too. If things continue like this, something uncontrollable will happen.”

    “… … !”

    Those words left Wade speechless.

    Because it was just as he said.

    Continuing from a little while ago.

    From the moment Mary’s abilities began to run wild, his intuition continued to scream at him.

    My intuition, which had reached a transcendental realm, was constantly warning me.

    Stop that.

    If we can’t stop it, disaster will happen.

    Looking at Wade who was speechless, Mary smiled.

    “Is it because it’s my ability? I can feel it. Something unusual is happening over there. And the moment it is completed, a disaster that no one can prevent will occur.”

    Mary’s gaze landed on the space that was still violently shaking.

    However, that time was not long at all.

    Soon her gaze returned to Wade.

    “We have to stop it. If we don’t stop it, everyone will be in danger.”

    “… There is another way─”

    “No, none.”

    Mary decisively cut off Wade’s continuation.

    “There is no other way, Wade. Even if it does exist, there is no time anymore.”

    There was nothing wrong with Mary’s calm words.

    At this moment, the person we have the most hope for here is Veluid.

    However, even Veluid declared it impossible.

    In that case, it is safe to say that none of the personnel here have the ability to resolve this situation.

    If we search the entire continent, we might be able to find someone who can solve this situation.

    However, there was no time for that.

    The unidentifiable movement of space was writhing as if it might explode at any moment.

    As Mary said, there was no time anymore.

    “… Whether it’s a disaster or something else, we can prevent it.”

    “… is it so. No matter what happens, if we work together we can stop it.”

    Alexis, Rachel, and Mary denied what they said.

    And, the other party members agreed with that statement.

    They also knew that something unusual was going to happen.

    However, even so, he could not give up on Mary’s life.

    They decided to fight no matter what.

    To protect Mary’s life, I decided to fight.

    It was a very heart-warming sight, I must say.

    Beluid, who was quietly watching the scene, shook his head inwardly.

    Their will and intentions are noble.

    However, such a statement could only be made because one did not know what kind of disaster that unknown movement could cause.

    Although he couldn’t tell others, Veluid knew.

    What is the cause that the religious leader is obsessed with, and what is the identity of that shimmer?

    And, what will happen the moment it is completed.

    That’s why I couldn’t say something comfortable like that.

    Slowly, Veluid raised his head.

    And then, I shifted my gaze.

    Wade was standing in the direction his eyes were looking.

    “… … .”

    As if he was thinking about something, Wade was quietly looking at Mary without saying anything.

    Mary also quietly looked into Wade’s eyes.

    How much time has passed in that state?

    Wade started to move.

    He began to slowly lift the sword in his hand.
