Ed probably understood why Ante came to trouble him as soon as he returned—in the eyes of the former King, all the humiliation and calamity that had befallen him began when Ed did not honestly admit his crimes according to his arrangement, accept his punishment, and sacrifice "his" dragon...... It started when he rebelled against his authority in full view.

He apparently did not remember that it had in fact begun with his greed and ambition, and that even if he did, he might have taken it for granted as a king's right.

He certainly didn't care what Ed had to lose because of it.

At this moment, standing here, facing the king who was still arrogant and selfish, and who had no idea how much he could even cover up, Ed was surprisingly calm.

He used to be so hateful...... When Collins became a tomb in the mist, when Vala was lost. That anger burned his sanity and made him a desperate avenger. If he had really stabbed Ante in the heart at that time, Scott probably wouldn't have stopped it...... But what will become of him?

In any case, it will not be the way it is now, because there is a clear heart and a fearless heart.

"I don't know. He finally replied softly, "Or, you can try?"

.

The three-storied tower let out a strange screech, like the sound of the wind in the still-deep darkness of the night, high and low, frantic and fierce—a sound that perhaps frightened the Ston Butch people more than the deadly shadows that filled the city before.

The people who were leaving the castle under the guidance of the knight turned back in horror, and could not help but whisper to each other.

"Are you in such a hurry to let us leave because the three-storied pagoda is finally going to fall?"

"Phew, what's 'finally'! The three-storied pagoda won't fall!"

"Maybe some powerful circle is activating? Doesn't that mean those shadows are gone......

By the time the wind brought those low voices to Is's ears, they were already indiscerning. He sat on a stone chair by the flowerbed with one leg propped up, and looked careless, waiting very calmly, without even looking up at the glimmering black tower.

“...... It was a very precious hydrangea. Balk paced to him with his hands behind his back and spoke slowly, "The flowers are as blue as starlight when they bloom. Although it looks a little unrefreshed now, it can be revived with a little water...... If you can spare the last few leaves of it. ”

Isis glared at him and silently withdrew his hand.

"Don't worry. "I know you're used to acting together, but there's always something he wants to face alone." And...... He's no easier to mess with than you right now. ”

Isis twisted the juice from his fingers without making a sound.

He knew why Ed insisted on going to Ante alone, but he was really worried...... They had fought Ante in the basement of the Beranti Library, and although the real formidable enemy at that time was the Serpent, Ante's power was not to be underestimated, and it was clearly related to the Serpent in some way. Now that he's back with a stronger stance, I'm afraid it's not so easy to deal with. And Ed ...... Ed's power is actually quite unstable.

His growth was mostly forced. He had little time to learn how to wield his powers, relying on instinct to gain experience in battle after battle.

That works, but it's also dangerous.

As Ed grew bolder, a cloud of worry kept coming over Is. If that idiot accidentally crossed some kind of boundary, especially if he didn't even know where it was, it would be much worse than the triple tower collapsing.

.

Worried, Ed waved his hand to cut a crack in the air, and in an instant appeared on the other side. And where he disappeared, the greatsword slammed into the ground, and a slender crack cracked in the smooth stone slab, which slowly closed at a speed visible to the naked eye before it could stop spreading.

Ed breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't know why Ante had chosen the Triple Tower, but it was a good place to fight. It doesn't hurt Ed...... It couldn't hurt Ante, and as a result, it became a completely neutral rule maintainer, with enough strength to defend itself and enough strength to keep their fight from spreading to others.

He was a little upset with himself. From the beginning to the present, except for a few magic bullets and a few ice vertebrae, he has almost kept running back and forth. He didn't really have much experience fighting alone, and his fighting style had always been more like that of a support-oriented priest, but now, he didn't have a warrior in front of him who could stop the attack, and his spells were ...... It's still more like nourishment for Ante.

The magic bullet was useless to him, and the ice vertebrae could pierce his body, but even with the bright red blood gushing out like a living person, Ante still seemed to be painless like an undead, and those wounds quickly lost their traces and healed on their own.

What has become of this person's body?

Ed felt that Ante himself might not have known. From time to time, he could see the surprise and satisfaction on Ante's face...... Seeing him become more and more rampant self-satisfied.

There are doubts, but they are far from being helpless. Ed secretly cheers himself up - you've been beaten by Scott...... Someone who even Scott has hit!

He is not afraid of spells, he has the power to heal, and as a warrior, Scott is much stronger than the man in front of him who has no power and lacks skills!

Ante turned to him, scorn and mockery on his face.

"Is that all there is to you?" he asked, his breath steady as if he had just moved his body.

"Didn't I already tell you? I don't know exactly how far I'm in. Ed replied calmly, slicing his palm open and patting it on the statue beside him.

He reacted now, as if he had been picked by Ante to try his hand...... See how powerful his nascent body really is.

But why not?

The stone statue standing still on the wall slowly raised its head, and the stubborn and aggressive face of Casagrande I came to life under the careful carving of the craftsman.

It took a step forward, the bloody handprint on its left leg flashing with an eerie glow, silently disappearing.

“...... Do your 'friends' know that you would do this?" Ante sneered.

He still didn't know much about magic, but he knew at least this: anything that used his own blood as a medium was forbidden, not to mention that normal priests wouldn't use it, and even daring mages wouldn't try it lightly.

"Of course. Ed replied,

At least one of them knew - though the guy would bury him in a rage because of it.

But, anyway...... Now he couldn't see it again.

He knew he was on the brink of danger. He knew that probably none of his friends would approve of it. Before that, he also warned himself not to go down the wrong path with impunity. But when he stood in the shadows and felt the power in it, a thought suddenly came to him and lingered.

Since there is just the right opportunity...... Why didn't he try it?
