Chapter Index

    “… No crying.”

    Medis looked down.

    Clumsy words that you can’t even tell if they are comforting.

    A girl who was much smaller and weaker than herself held out a white handkerchief to her. I wanted to say something, but my pride prevented me from accepting it.

    Isn’t it ugly?

    What does it look like to cry?

    Even though no one could see me except when I was alone, I cried freely.

    I felt a little annoyed and angry at that.

    What’s wrong with great talent?

    He is such a poor person.

    The moment I was about to crumple my face like that.

    Sze-

    A soft touch touched my cheek.

    It seemed like it smelled like flowers.

    Since he didn’t accept handkerchiefs, Fiona wiped his cheeks herself.

    “… Take it away!!”

    widely!

    In embarrassment, he threw away his hand and stepped away.

    But Fiona approached as if nothing had happened and repeated the same thing.

    “No crying.”

    “… What is he saying now… … .”

    “When you cry, you want to cry more.”

    “… … … ?”

    “Master drank alcohol every time he did that. But you are a minor. Minors are prohibited from drinking alcohol. So no crying from now on.”

    “… … Ha?”

    A somewhat strange statement. But for some reason, Medis felt comforted.

    If I had been pitied, I would have pushed him away.

    It would have been shameful to comfort him recklessly.

    If you look at me pitifully, I will get angry.

    But Fiona was different.

    He spoke in a serious tone, saying strange things that did not seem comforting, and had a solemn and stern look in his eyes, like a parent scolding a child.

    I just laughed at that nonsense.

    With that one laugh, I forgot the pain and sadness I had felt just moments ago.

    Thanks to you, I regained my sanity.

    He shook his head and opened his mouth.

    “… you. How did you get here? Did you sneak in?”

    Nod.

    The guy nodded.

    It was an affirmation without a single additional explanation. The question of how they got there was completely ignored. How on earth do you have so little to say?

    A car that felt a bit awkward.

    “A fight broke out outside. You should be able to sneak away.”

    He gave me that advice.

    but… .

    I sighed.

    If I could have escaped by simply running away, I would have fled to another country a long time ago.

    okay.

    What did you expect?

    Even if you want to help, you can’t get help. That’s your situation.

    Anyway, the ending is fixed.

    “I invite you to go with me.”

    Just then, Fiona holds out her hand.

    I appreciate the help, but… .

    widely!

    I intentionally slapped my hand away.

    “… … … ?”

    “No need. Get out of here right now.”

    It must be sent here. Don’t let yourself help yourself. It’s obvious that even he will be in danger if Caesar returns.

    It would be ridiculous if it suddenly came out like this.

    Probably angry.

    I hope for that.

    I can’t get along with anyone.

    It is better to draw a clear line than to send something vaguely.

    Let’s send it to you like this.

    The moment I thought that.

    “… No lies!”

    “… … What… .”

    Rather, the guy came closer.

    It was true that he looked slightly angry, but it was different from the direction he wanted.

    But you can’t back down.

    The only thing dangerous is yourself.

    “… What are you talking about? They say there is no need. So get out of here!!”

    “Goo!!… Don’t turn away by lying. If you really don’t want to be ignored, don’t deceive and show your true feelings to anyone!”

    It wasn’t something to be angry about.

    But strangely enough, I felt angry.

    To myself who has to push it away like this.

    “I don’t need any help!! What talents can you help me with? Phew!?… … .”

    “… … … What, what happened?.”

    I grabbed my chest.

    Oh, no.

    Not right now.

    He is about to wake up.

    I’m forcing myself to push myself.

    There must be no further delay.

    please… .

    “Go!!! Hurry up and go!!! You’re no help, so get the hell out of here!!!”

    “… … … … … right… … .”

    Fiona closed her mouth in shock.

    Soon he lowers his head.

    But it can’t be helped. If we delay any longer, he will wake up.

    “Arthur tells me to go!!! Get out!!”

    “… … … actually. I came here without knowing how to help. Sorry for not being helpful.“

    “… … … … .”

    Fiona turned around.

    I go back limp.

    The inside of my chest feels bitter.

    Feelings of shame and anger come flooding back.

    It’s also annoying. This is the one who needs to apologize, but why say things like that… .

    she leaves

    “Kuh… .”

    I knelt down.

    You have to endure it.

    You must absolutely endure it.

    Until he gets out of here… .

    I will endure it no matter what.

    *

    “I am an Indian witch… .”

    But she’s a witch with no powers.

    A witch who can’t save anyone.

    A helpless witch.

    Chuuk… .

    Fiona, with her shoulders slumped, did not exit the underground but went deeper.

    To the original destination.

    Then it starts to appear again.

    Blue eyes open.

    Remnants of the past can be felt throughout the laboratory.

    A person who struggles.

    A person begging for his life.

    A person who would rather be killed.

    A person with both arms cut off.

    A person whose eyeballs have been pulled out.

    A person who has lost an organ.

    Engraving them into my eyes one by one.

    chuck.

    Arrived.

    We reached the end of the basement.

    Something bad happened, but I can’t give up on what I have to do. I looked at the crystal floating in the test tube like a blue moon in the night sky.

    One can feel the status of Luna, the moon god who was brought into crystalline form by Aegis.

    Fiona looked fascinated.

    “Ah… .”

    Naturally, admiration came out.

    Luna, the moon god, was so ecstatic.

    I can see everything. How much she cared about people in the past.

    The darkness I had seen until just now had completely disappeared.

    Nod.

    Fiona bowed at 90 degrees for a moment.

    It was the most polite thing I could do right now.

    He then looked at the magic devices connected to the test tube and the magic circle drawn on the wall.

    We have to manipulate this from now on.

    Okay.

    can do.

    That’s why I walked with my eyes fixed on a sight I didn’t want to see. Because I saw the entire past and how Caesar succeeded.

    You have to do it yourself.

    … The final succession.

    chuck.

    I looked at the test tube equipment.

    Next, I looked at the hose connected to the test tube and the magic circle drawn on the wall and ceiling at the end.

    “Whoo!”

    It moved with enthusiasm.

    I understood the meaning of Caesar’s movements and followed what was necessary.

    First, I brought the necessary ingredients.

    There was a warehouse nearby so there was no problem.

    I seemed to know roughly how to operate the device.

    By combining the remnants of the past one by one, the conditions for activating the succession ceremony began to be satisfied one by one.

    The reagents were combined and placed into the test tube inlet.

    I unlocked the magic code and turned on the device.

    Next, we looked at the formation in detail.

    walls and ceiling.

    Laboratory equipment.

    High level magic arrays.

    I just looked at it.

    Okay.

    I picked up the pen lying next to the test tube equipment. It is an artifact that engraves the formula.

    We boldly excluded some of the formation methods.

    It was probably related to black magic.

    Applying this will give you great strength… There is a lot of sacrifice involved. Instead, it was replaced with the new succession method that Caesar most recently added.

    Advanced magic circles that he himself cannot understand. But it doesn’t matter. It’s not difficult if you just follow what Caesar did.

    Next, he is also trapped in a test tube and has to be modified through several techniques… .

    ignored.

    According to the teacher’s prophecy, it is possible.

    A witch who transcends mana.

    Slowly starting… .

    “What are you doing there?”

    Startle.

    I turned around.

    Medis was glaring.

    At that moment, I realized. The great misfortune hinted at by the fortune telling is now.

    Changed atmosphere and tone of voice.

    There was no way I didn’t know.

    That Medis was not a Medis.

    A being that was seen briefly but once in a while.

    A being who moves Medith at will.

    The first warrior, Aegis.

    He has come.

    “It looks like you are interested in that experimental device… You have come to a place you should not have come to.”

    “… … Recommend to stay away from Medis.”

    “Hmm?Do you know me?”

    “A demon from the past who took over Medis’ body. Don’t bother people for no reason.”

    “Is this guy lacking in some way? It seems like he knew my secret and came in deliberately… That’s strange. There’s no way Caesar wouldn’t know this. How could someone like you come in alone?”

    “Secret.”

    “Is there any problem? done. Just kill anything that gets in your way.”

    Faaah!!

    A shining sword appeared in Aegis’ hand.

    A god-level item engraved into the soul itself. It is a holy sword that is like a symbol of the first warrior.

    In response, Fiona also took out a small wand from her pocket.

    That moment.

    “It will be an instant. Dying is.”

    Tsupot!!

    Before Fiona could prepare her magic, Aegis disappeared.

    The sword reached in front of my neck.

    “Off!?… .”

    There is no time to think.

    Just die-

    “K!!… … .”

    Hwiyuu!~

    The wind blows.

    Grumble.

    Blood is flowing. For some reason, Aegis’ sword stopped in front of his neck with a little blood on it.

    “Ugh!… .”

    Swish!

    Fiona immediately stepped back.

    Aegis let out a slightly painful breath and his swinging arm trembled.

    Annoyed expression.

    “This guy… You resist until the end.”

    Pak!!

    He slashed his sword diagonally in the air.

    My trembling arms calmed down.

    “… … … .”

    In the meantime, Fiona was secretly calculating the magic sequence and hanging herself with one hand.

    I can feel red, hot blood.

    I almost died.

    My whole body feels creepy.

    The difference in skill level makes it difficult to even react. I have no idea how to deal with it.

    “I will definitely kill you this time.”

    “… … … .”

    Something needs to be done right away.

    As soon as I calculated the mana array, I memorized the rune.

    “ᛁᚢᛃᚢᚾᚷ᛬ᛒᚨᚾᚢᛘᚲ, ᚷᚢᛚᛃ᛬ᚷᛖᚱᚾᚲᛅ, , ᚻᚬᚲᛋᚨᚾᚬᚾᛅᛁᚾᚨ᛬ᛒᛁᛏ.”

    Double shield.

    Refractive boundary.

    Enlargement enchantment.

    Diffusing light.

    The light bends and bends inside the two-layer transparent membrane, creating a layer of extremely high temperature.

    Although it is a 3-4 star magic, the combined firepower itself exceeds 6 star. It will be difficult to ignore this and approach.

    However.

    “The remaining talents are useless.”

    Whoa!!

    I felt a suction power as if everything was being sucked in from the Aegis sword.

    Faaaa!!

    The moment I just cut it to the side, the shield was torn apart and absorbed into the sword like a whirlwind.

    Fit!!

    Aiming for that moment, Fiona fired several beams of light. It was his main attack magic that he could immediately use at any time because he trained it every day.

    Susssseu~

    However, Aegis easily dodged it with a few steps. The distance was quickly closed.

    A valid hit cannot be inflicted.

    I can’t even think of running away.

    But you can’t just sit still.

    “ᛗᛁᚳᛚᚢᚱᛁᛃᚬᚾᛅᛁᚾ᛬ᛒᚢᛒᚬᚲ.”

    Sliding stride.

    He stopped the beam attack and immediately skidded to the side.

    However, Aegis is the strongest warrior in history.

    Wow!!-

    “Queu!!… ”

    There was a large cut on the side.

    It was impossible to completely avoid the attack even if you wanted to avoid it.

    But it didn’t stop. Pretending to stumble, he turned his body and rolled on the ground.

    Swish!!

    I avoided a follow-up attack with improvisation.

    But the moment I try to get up, a straight shadow covers one of my eyes. The sword of Aegis was right in front of my nose.

    “Quuk!… Again!!”

    shaking.

    Fortunately, Aegis stopped.

    This time it’s the same as before.

    You have to run away from this gap.

    fault!!

    I ran with all my might.

    I have to get out of here somehow-

    Fuhoo!!

    My eyes opened wide.

    My body bent arbitrarily.

    Something hot pierced my back.

    Aegis threw his sword and pierced it.

    “Cup!!… … ugh… iced coffee… … .”

    Blood is flowing out.

    dump.

    I suddenly fell to my knees.

    I was confused because I couldn’t breathe due to the dizzying shock I felt for the first time.

    But you can’t give up. If you let go, Ronica and the Negro… … .

    “Woo… Ugh… … .”

    Tup.

    I forced myself to support my body and took a step forward.

    It hurt, but I moved.

    Let’s get out.

    Let’s run away.

    You have to survive somehow and complete what you were doing when the opportunity came.

    For everyone.

    One more step… … .

    “Stop giving up.”

    Pak!!!

    A dull shock felt in the temples.

    The body floats and flies away. Before I knew it, I was hit by Aegis’ kick.

    A shock that shakes the brain.

    I lost consciousness for a moment.

    Degurrr.

    rolled on the ground

    Because he was stuck with the sword, the sword was twisted from the inside and cut into his internal organs.

    “Coop… .”

    I’m crying!!

    He fell sideways and vomited blood.

    dizzy.

    I feel like dying.

    No, you will die.

    I have many thoughts.

    When a major disaster occurred, why couldn’t we pass by?

    Without even having the ability to solve the problem, I went out without a solution and ruined everything. Guiding someone is something that can only be done if you have the ability… .

    I’m embarrassed.

    I am ashamed of myself for being helpless.

    I just wanted to help everyone, but I made a poor choice and ended up with the worst outcome.

    Master must be waiting.

    Ronica and Negro should be safe.

    I couldn’t even say hello to my other friends.

    Grumbling… .

    Tears are flowing.

    I feel dizzy.

    sick.

    Am I going to die like this without being able to do anything?

    How much better it would have been if I had had the foresight to look ahead like Master Isabel.

    “Is he still alive?”

    I see a man’s feet in front of me.

    Push!!

    “Off!… Off… … .”

    The sword that penetrated the inside of the body was pulled out.

    Blood began to drain quickly and form a puddle on the floor.

    It gets even more confusing.

    With blurred vision, Aegis raises his sword.

    It seemed like they were trying to hit my neck like this.

    Death loomed just around the corner.

    “Ah… .”

    But why?

    In the meantime, another thought occurred to me.

    Medis in there.

    How will Medis who kills herself change?

    I just wanted to help. I was worried that I would feel guilty and be alone forever.

    “… fire… A pair… … Friend.”

    Whiik!!

    Soon the sword is struck.

    I closed my eyes.

    I feel it.

    The sword reached in front of my neck.

    perishing-

    Gaggagak!!!!!!!

    I heard a scratching sound on the floor next to my face.

    “Ugh!!… .”

    Then a painful groan is heard.

    What is happening? I barely opened my trembling eyelids due to the unbearable doubt.

    At that place.

    “I told you not to do it!!!!!!”

    Medis was seen struggling as he let go of his sword and grabbed his head with both hands.

    harm yourself

    Tear your body apart.

    Thump!! Thump!!!

    I hit my head on the wall.

    “Get out!! Get out now!!!! Aaaaa!!!!!”

    Blood is flowing from my head.

    Nevertheless, Medis did not stop and pulled out her hair again.

    Touddeuk!!

    A large amount of hair was torn out.

    I hit my head again.

    thud!!

    And then soon.

    “Sometimes… It’s okay to live like this!… … .”

    Raise the sword again with your left hand.

    Trembling eyes and hands.

    Blood running down my forehead.

    Tears rolling down my cheeks.

    He forcefully lifted his immobile hand and placed the sword on his right shoulder.

    As if he was trying to cut off his own arm.

    But is Aegis getting in the way?

    I struggle again just like that.

    “Shut up!! Shut up!!! I told you to get out!! I told you to stop!!!!”

    Fuuk… .

    The blade of the sword presses down on my shoulder.

    Harder and harder.

    Coo!… .

    The blade digs into my shoulder.

    Blood is flowing out.

    The force to press and the force to block. An invisible fight was going on there.

    “Ah… .”

    Fiona could not lose her senses at the shocking scene and looked at it with trembling eyes. At that moment, I made eye contact with Medis, who was looking down at this place.

    A crazy face that looks like it has lost its mind.

    “Ha… .”

    However, not long after our eyes met, Medis regained her sanity for a moment.

    A brief moment.

    He said these words like a spell.

    “No crying.”

    Suddenly!!!

    At the same time, his arm was cut off.
