Bijo to Kenja to Majin no Ken

A brilliant white light fills the labyrinth (dungeon) that can never be said to be bright.

That space, wrapped in light, had increased brightness, as if it had been exposed (Sara) to sunlight.

I can't learn more about what's going on around me because I was inhibited by a strong light source that was born today.

However, the sound of battle that had previously sounded within the labyrinth (dungeon) now completely lurked.

By analogy, the struggle between Aida and Celestia must have been temporarily interrupted.

I'm sure they, too, are being blinded by what is happening here and now.

I felt something slowly shaped in my own hands wrapped in strong light.

The feeling gradually changes from something that is not clear and moisturizing to something that feels a definite appearance.

There was a unique sense of unity in the objects I grabbed with my left and right hands.

After that unity became certain, I pulled out of Grace's chest, little by little and carefully, what I grabbed in both hands.

A shadow was created in a bunch of bright, white light, and the long "object” gradually appeared.

- Definitely.

I know this weapon.

It's - it's a “wand” with the length you deserve to hold it with both hands.

Just like the memory in me, the head of the wand has a very elaborate and intricate design.

The material of the wand is neither wood nor metal.

It was difficult to describe in words and was thought to be made of strange materials.

That makes you feel a gap between the texture you look and the weight you actually have on your hands.

- It's the result of what Grace said.

Just like me and her wanted, I was definitely born in the hands with the Wand of the Wise (Staff of Sage).

When I completely removed the Sage's wand (Staff of Sage) from the light, the light that was emanating from Grace's chest rapidly converged.

The labyrinth (dungeon), which was illuminated with brilliance (like this) by its unnatural strength, regains its original darkness (laziness) at once.

Then, in exchange for the disappearing light, I saw a thin golden light emitted from the whole of the wand of the wise man (Staff Obsage).

Until earlier, it was not known by the influence of strong light, but the wand of the wise (staff obsage) emits a soft magical light, as if to boast of its own existence.

"- Can you move?

I called out to Grace, who gave me a careless look, holding the sage wand (Staff of Sage) that revealed the whole story.

She doesn't answer my queries instantly. With the expression on his face, he kept his gaze on my face and gave me a slightly slower (Kanba) moment than usual. It's something you feel every time, but she's oddly colorful after you take out your weapon.

"- Yes, no problem."

After a little while, Grace's voice returned, passing beautifully.

Just in case you check Grace's condition (status), her SP still has more than half left.

When Grace and I first met, she used up almost all her magic to take out the demon's weapon.

Months have passed since then. I'm not the only one who's grown up.

Once again I could feel that it was only a measure of numbers, but that she herself had grown tremendously.

Having the wand of a wise man (Staff of Sage) as I wish, my mind is feeling relieved (mostly).

Unfortunately, I can't join the fight with Aida all of a sudden.

I was watching this one, and when I checked that Aida had moved out again, I went back to the position where I could earn the most distance from Aida.

"Sorry, but I'm gonna turn to backup for a while"

"I understand."

Grace responds to my words and moves closer to the front line instead.

Grace after removing the demon's weapon should not be completely in tune with the book. I'm a little worried about that - judging by the way I see it, my body moves firmly. I'm sure you'll be fine with this.

"Grace, it's okay -?

Can you fight?

Seeing Grace try to return to battle with Aida, Sylvia spoke up.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

Grace is smiling and responding to it.

Grace's return to the front line led Celestia to face Aida and Grace to form a squad to restrain Aida's movements in front of that diagonal.

Aida, who had previously inadvertently launched an attack on Celestia, does not intend to strike any time soon, in alarm of an ambush from Grace.

A short distance away from those two is Sylvia. And I'm standing further behind Sylvia.

In essence, my standing position is almost as far from the front as I can tell.

If we get to this distance, maybe Aida will pay attention to just the three of us without worrying about my presence or anything.

I will give priority to restoring magic power (SP) for some time to come, and I will only provide the support I really need.

In addition to my skills in automatic magic restoration, I also equipped myself with Judge's Clothes (Judgment Robes) to speed up SP recovery.

In addition, he now has the Wand of the Wise (Staff of Sage). Full recovery of SP, which normally has an hour or so, probably takes less than 20 minutes.

With each passing hour, my magic power (SP) returned rapidly, and this struggle was thought to lean in our favor.

"Yaaaaaa!!

To Grace's restraint (feint), he may have cut the paralysis.

Aida raised her unprecedented voice of mood and swung the axe directly across her hand.

It's not simply a move that I shook. It's a massive attack with a full eye, including a preliminary motion to wiggle behind you.

Perhaps there was an intention to keep Grace away by releasing a massive blow that was impossible.

But the blow went too far. If you turn Aida's movements into a carefully observed Celestia, there's a lot of waste. It's just an easy-to-read attack of movement.

As Celestia retreated carefully from the reach of the axe, she took another, even bigger, backstep with caution.

At that moment, several green spheres begin to surround Aida's body.

The magically crafted green sphere hit one after the other into the torso of Aida, who had collapsed in great emptiness.

Most spheres fly and become foggy the moment they hit Aida's body.

But only one sphere in it could not fly, and it was absorbed around Aida's stomach.

"- Only defensive loss (crash) is in!

Sylvia speaks up. The green sphere was a state anomaly magic (debuff) unleashed by Sylvia to slow down Aida's abilities.

"Ha -!!"

In response to that voice, Celestia flipped from the retreat (backstep) and slashed it in.

In response to her movements, the body of the Sword of the Virgin (Jacqueline) reflects the light around her. Its sharp brilliance seemed to give Celestia even more power to her blow.

Immediately afterwards, there is a clash between the metals named Gachi, and Aida takes the attack in an impossible position. Somehow it felt like there was a blade spill on Aida's axe.

Aida's posture has collapsed to such an extent that the next movement is likely to be difficult. He wasn't in good enough shape, but he cleverly folded his body and managed to take the attack.

The level of Ada, the Demon, is higher than that of the Celestias.

But looking at the way we had fought so far, it seemed that Celestia and the others were far above us in their experience of the struggle and in their own way. The small (Dwerg) demon manages to regain the behavior he hasn't caught up with every time by means of strength and flexibility.

Shortly after Aida played the Saint Maiden's Sword (Jacqueline), Grace was now slashed, secretly circling backwards.

Aida still forces herself to turn her body over and do the blow.

But no matter how flexible he was, he couldn't avoid the spell bullets that flew with the blow.

A blunt bullet that is likely to blend into the surrounding air is sucked into the demon's body beautifully.

When I checked Aida's condition (status), her condition (status) was inscribed with the letter 'Status: Demented'.

Of course, a reduced awareness curse (gand) does not have a direct effect on defeating the enemy.

But Grace, who releases many different kinds of curse bullets, dares to choose the effect. I must have chosen this for a reason.

Immediately after Grace finishes the attack flies back and forth, Celestia also retreats with her shield in place as Grace moves. That left room for a few steps around Aida.

The three beauties were not particularly moving in unison.

But shortly after Grace and Celestia retreated, two flames emerged that drew parabolas as if they had measured the timing, and landed under Aida's feet.

Sylvia specializes in fire attribute magic, explosive flames (Napalm).

Aida escaped the direct hit, but the blast flames (Napalm) have spread around the place where they landed, raising flashy fire columns.

Aida, narrowed in scope of action by the fire pillar, moved bypassing the flames to be guided.

And beyond where Aida bypassed, there is Sylvia, who unleashed her magic.

When Aida immediately identified Sylvia as the target of the attack (the target), she rushed towards her all at once.

Probably predicted the behavior. Celestia couldn't get her hair in and stood in front of Aida.

Celestia takes Aida's attack firmly with the shield of the Virgin (Shield of Lines) as she kills the momentum of the advance. The impetuously clashing axe and shield splashed a magical spark as it made a flashy noise.

"What's up! Is that a degree of power!?

As she responds to Celestia's provocative voice, Aida pushes her axe harder and harder.

Celestia took a forward leaning position and pushed back to avoid losing force to it.

The two were playing each other for a few moments, but Aida gave up the force push and pulled the axe, jumping back and forth (sushi) big.

At the next moment, Aida opened her eyes wide and held her axe back in her hands with a nibble and a smile.

"Ceres, be careful!

Seeing the movement with its arms and magic cage, Grace raises a warning voice.

Shortly after Grace's words, Aida began to wave her axe impotently toward her as she advanced toward Celestia.

It's a rushing attack that will crush everything in front of you, different in power and speed from previous attacks.

Celestia, who was pressed into an attack using her entire body, retreats while her boulder sharpens her jirries and her HP.

"To that extent -!"

In response to Aida's fiercely shielding attack, Celestia activated the Fortress (Fortress), a defensive move (ability) of the Heavy Duty Knight (tanker).

By activation of the moves (abilities), Celestia's body is enveloped in blue and white light at once.

The Fortress is an ability to use when surrounded by multiple enemies. If you look at Celestia wrapped in light, you can tell right away that she's activating some (though) skill.

But Aida doesn't mind that, she just keeps attacking Celestia.

As a result, Aida's attack was blocked by the Fortress and barely reached Celestia's body.

It seems that this linear, unthinkable attack of Aida has been acted upon by eating a de-awareness curse bullet (gand). Grace's magic was not directly damaging, but it can be said that it works effectively.

In front of me, there was a structure called Aida, who was obsessed and kept attacking Celestia, and Celestia, who kept preventing that attack with moves (abilities).

And - no matter how demonic you are, enemies who don't try to move from the spot at all become dressed up.

Sylvia did not miss this gap and witnessed the magic of rock rain (Rocklein) aimed at Aida.

Consider the danger (risk) of involving Celestia if normal, and don't let range magic like rock rain (rock rain) go to the front.

But Celestia activated an impenetrable guard fort (skill) and the enemy hasn't moved. If the activation position could be set successfully, it would have been possible to target sufficiently.

As Sylvia aims, her rock rain (Rocklein) hits only Aida, who continues to attack.

Countless rubbles (crushed) relentlessly shredded the demon's skin and instantly blew blue and black blood out of the wound.

But Aida is still not frightened.

Seeing her keep waving the axe like crazy, I looked at the state (status) again to make sure that this rush wasn't “fascinated” by someone.

Definitely. After all, Aida is not in a state of “charm”.

It was somewhat reminiscent of the struggle with the Great Haunted King (Gino) to prioritize the attack without looking at his own HP.

Why didn't the Great Ghost King (Gino) have to look after his life -?

With that reason in mind, I carefully follow Aida's movements with my eyes.

Aida's back, which continues to attack, is completely absent.

Already behind Aida is Grace approaching with lurking (hiding) and secret steps.

As she turned completely to Aida's back side, she decided to strike (backstab) silently.

The concealed long sword (Sword of Hermit) held by her rocking dark hair is endowed with a brilliance of light attributes as opposed to hair color. The vigorously rolled sword of the light attribute easily cleaved the demon of the dark attribute, an anti-attribute.

I'm guessing the boulder caused a lot of pain to the wound. Aida screamed tall with a smile on her face and turned back to Grace in the rear.

But from the Celestia she was confronting, the only thing she could do was expose her defenseless back.

Of course she didn't miss the opportunity.

"Haaaaaa!!

Celestia waves the Saint Maiden's Shield (Shield of Lines) sideways toward Aida as she speaks of her temper.

The shield, which accelerates while dragging the red phosphorescent light, activated Shield Brow's skills and pierced Aida's flank.

"Gaaaaaa!!

Aida blew away (occasionally) and rolled down the ground with a loud and distressed voice.

- I didn't give a shit about the fight in front of me.

But Grace, Sylvia and Celestia worked together brilliantly and were steadily hunting down demons.

Aida's HP, which she didn't see any signs of decreasing until earlier, is now falling to about three-quarters.

At a simple level, the three Graces do not extend to the little demons.

Their collaboration, however, showed “strength” that could not be achieved in numerical terms.

Of course, it would be huge that Aida repeats a relatively monotonous move, that the attack is an easy target to read.

If the enemy had moves and thoughts like the Black Fairy Demon (Kurt), the question remains as to whether they could work together in the same way and fight on an equal footing - surely the question remains.

However, I felt the "struggle that I do not participate in” in front of me with an unspeakable exaltation.

And in the crisp height that boils off my back, I go to one thought.

Assuming I'm gone from this world (Florence)...

I'm sure they will continue to struggle enough with the 'Demon Man' to eventually beat the 'Demon Man'.

My SP has already recovered to about a quarter of its total resting state.

To return to the front in the form of a full use of magic is not an amount of mind.

But if you have the wand of the wise (Staff of Sage), you will be able to participate in the struggle well enough.

When I saw it, Aida was about to get up from falling.

She put the axe back in her hands, but she looked around and hasn't shown how she's going to strike right away.

Celestia remains alert to the present of the little demon.

Grace on its diagonal back, and Sylvia on its rear, held back.

After identifying the three people present, Ada breaks his face on the spot.

Though full of creativity, the expression looked as if the girl was smiling innocently.

On the other hand, it also seems that an evil demon floated a mockery.

"- What!?

――

At the next moment, everyone's gaze moved in the same direction, following a suddenly moving Aida.

I would have imagined that everyone would attack Celestia if they had acted so far.

But the actions taken by Aida are the opposite.

As she gained momentum, she twisted and flipped, "Show us your back” and ran.

I mean - he escaped.

"!! Let them get away with it!

Celestia goes after it without getting her hair in.

Grace rushed to imitate it.

The escaped Aida rushed in behind the aisle - at the end of a door that was magically locked.

At the end of the door is the “transfer gate”.

But Sylvia and I destroyed the portal earlier.

Did Aida rely on the metastasis gate to escape without knowing that the metastasis gate was being destroyed?

Or does it mean that the direction you occasionally (by chance) tried to escape was the direction of the transfer gate?

Or...

I rapidly sort out some situations in my head as I follow their backs.

Among the assumptions that come up, those that are tied to poor results are easy to stay in your head.

And my bad luck - it always draws that remaining option to hand.

"- Wait!

This is the end. Let's chase it carefully. "

I ran out. When I call Celestia and Grace off, I suggest they solidify and go after Aida.

When the four of us gathered, we set Celestia in the lead again and went through the aisle, carefully down the stairs.

Every time I advance my legs, I gradually see what lies ahead.

"Why, didn't you destroy it -!?"

Celestia, who was leading the way, raised her voice feeling strange.

When we enter the room as the four of us rush in, the stone statue of Arabella and the transfer gate, which should have burst into ruins, are regaining their full form.

It is true that the stone statue and the transfer gate were not completely collapsed earlier.

But at least Arabella's stone statue should have a blown torso and only her lower torso left.

I whine small as I make sure the stone statue in front of me wasn't made of phantom magic.

"- I'm repairing it."

"Repair -?"

The assumption (case) that the Metastatic Gate would resurrect on its own did not exist in my mind.

So, the regret of letting Aida go - plunders the back of his brain for a moment.

But if you look closely, Ada the Demon stood quietly at the side of the transfer gate behind the room.

Assuming that Aida came to the scene while understanding the existence of the metastasis gate...

There are probably only two ways to develop after this.

One is that Aida passes through the transfer gate and flees to the land of the devil.

The other thing is - someone “shows up” through the transfer gate.

However, Aida standing at the side of the metastasis gate does not make her feel any sign of ever trying to escape this scene.

She just stared at this one quietly and was in a rugged position.

While I look at this situation, I sort out the previous information and guess who will show up.

- Ferim is the home of Grace.

And Grace, about two years ago, left Ferim.

She is setting her own home on fire as she leaves Ferim.

Yurban the demon, Grace's father, died before and after Grace left Ferim.

Yurban makes Grace inherit a "treasure trove" packed with "Demon's Weapon".

It is also likely that he himself had a 'Prohibition Book' just before his death.

Then “someone” began to lurk on Grace and Yurban's side of the family.

The labyrinth (dungeon) of Ferim is equipped with a stone statue of Arabella, and a transfer gate exists.

The purpose of that "someone” is almost certainly to see that this metastasis gate is involved.

And the “who” continued to attract the people of the settlement (Ferim) to hide their existence.

The reason for continuing to lurk without destroying the transfer gates would be to defeat the apostles who emerge from the transfer gates.

But the purpose of defeating the Apostle is never to protect this world (Florence).

If the aim is to protect this world (Florence), it should be the most appropriate option to destroy the gates of the transfer rather than to continue to defeat the Apostle.

The purpose of deliberately lurking and defeating the Apostle without destroying the Gate of Transfer - must be to take away the power of the defeated Apostle.

The Apostle cannot, in this world (Florence), harm an Apostle of his kind.

In other words, the "someone” lurking here is likely to be a dissimilar apostle to the apostle who emerges from the transfer gate.

In order to defeat a similar kind of Apostle in this world (Florence), we need the 'Devil's Weapon'.

All of that "Demon's Weapon" is held by Grace, housed in "Yurban's Treasure Library".

Except if "Demon's Weapon" existed besides what was housed in the "Treasure Library" - assuming that kind of thing existed, the reason Grace would be targeted would be rare.

But in fact, her treasure trove was targeted, and her father (Yurban) expected her to be targeted as well.

Given that, it is unlikely that "Demon's Weapon" will emerge from outside of "Treasure Library".

And then...

The transfer gate of Ferim housed a stone statue of Arabella.

In addition, the demon (Aida) who appeared on this occasion is an Arabellan apostle.

I didn't think that Aida was the one lurking in the settlement.

In other words, the lurking “who” is different from Ada...

My thoughts could have been wrong in the details for a moment.

What if there were a technique (even) other than, for example, "The Demon's Weapon" that would harm a similar kind of apostle -?

Given that the metastasis gates have been repaired on this occasion, is there any chance that they have finally given up destroying the metastasis gates...?

However, even if there is amplitude to such events, we cannot help but feel unnatural that this situation is being fascinated and created by the people of the settlement (Ferim).

I can never imagine that the current situation was created on the basis of favourable ideas.

From this situation - I really feel the shadow of “ambition” and “malice”.

There was a “person” in my head from earlier.

There is no reliable evidence. It's a matter of possibility.

But what am I supposed to call him if it's the person who shows up?

I “don't know" the person's name.

Follow Grace, Sylvia, Celestia, and the moment I try to step into the room - the surroundings are filled with light that just shows (blinks).

As soon as the thunderbolt sounded, the soot smoke that rose in front of him anticipated the appearance of “someone”.

I have no confidence in my speculation.

Nevertheless, I thought that I would meet the “person” in the not so distant future.

From where the earthen smoke is still rising, the figure of the man cannot be seen.

But even if I didn't see him, I still have the power to know who he is.

I checked the identity of the person as I “stared” at the shadow inhibited by earthquake smoke.

Again - as you can imagine.

And I can't "speak up" about who that person is.

I'll bite the meaning of it, as I signal to Grace and the others...

Slowly on the spot, he raised his "left hand”.
