"Bastard!"

I rushed down in a rage, trying to save Rezetar and them, but a torrent of soul rushed and blocked the path in front of me. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Sacrifice your soul as well!"

Cador shouted menacingly, and he turned to swing his sword at me as if he had given up on Rezeta.

The heavy sword pressure merged with the storm of the soul, oppressing my body in an instant.

The cavern of the pages opened again, but it still couldn't relieve the pressure that had hit me.

- The direction is out of order!

I could no longer bear the oppression of that soul, and I fell to the ground.

Are you going to die?

The health bar is rapidly decreasing, and although the ability to recover itself is frantically healing, the damage taken by the body is higher at this time, and it still can't make up for the lack of its own strength.

I am really unwilling that my short magic book life will come to an end so soon.

"Mommy, Mommy!"

Seeing that I had been struck down, Aryfia was in a hurry in the prison where her soul was locked, and she kept slamming into the fence around her, but the thunderbolt of thunder and lightning continued to stimulate her soul, and the pain was like a bone appendage, and she was afraid and wanted to continue to break through.

"You're going to hurt yourself, Aryfia......"

I lamented eagerly in my heart that, as Lord Divine had said, it was an attack on the soul, and neither I nor Aryfia had an effective means of dealing with it.

Is it over?

Although unwilling, the mood is unusually calm.

Being in the midst of a torrent of souls, it is as if you are one with those weeping souls.

Feel their joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and feel the pain of the cold wind.

High in the sky, Kador raised his sword, and the tide of souls rushing to the ground was attracted by the unstoppable force, and they began to rush upward, and the sword of evil spirits in Kador's hand was like a long stick that muddied the sky, and the souls gathered and turned into dragons.

The huge soul power overflowed the entire space, and more and more souls were withdrawn from their bodies, and those souls traveled in the air and were devoured by the great dragon.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"

It was as if the ritual had finally entered its final stage, the huge formation on the ground spun rapidly, and Kador chanted an incomprehensible incantation, smiling as the door gradually opened.

"I'm sorry, Ais"

At the same time, the girl's weak murmur reached my ears.

- It's Rezeta?!

I was shocked, and my body, which was about to give up completely, suddenly tensed, and I hurriedly searched for the source of the voice.

Then, as I expected, I found the girl in the red dress not far from where I fell.

"How could it be ......"

I looked at the girl in disbelief, Aiis asleep in Rezeta's arms, she hugged the boy tightly, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

How could Rezeta be fine?

The torrent of souls was too much for me to bear, but Rezeta fell from the sky, not only was her soul not taken away by the torrent, but she didn't even seem to be injured.

"You must be surprised, too, Lord Wizard Book. ”

Rezeta seemed to notice me, "But you should be able to understand the way I look now." ”

Rezeta turned to look at me, and the girl's face was covered with black cracks, her pupils were bloodshot, and two horns were growing on her forehead.

"Rezeta...... You ......"

"Yes, I'm a demon. ”

Rezeta looked up at Kador in the sky, tears rolling down.

"This border city sits on the rift between the human world and the underworld, and more than ten years ago, a great demon imprisoned in the underworld wanted to enter the human world, and he conveniently used this rift to make a woman pregnant with his child. ”

"You mean...... That kid is you?"

"Yes. ”

Rezeta nodded, she wiped her tears, stopped crying, and looked at the boy in her arms with a gentle expression.

"My father loved my mother deeply, but I didn't know that my mother gave birth to a demon's child, I am a hybrid of humans and demons, this bloodline can connect the human world and the underworld, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the key to open the door. ”

"So Kador ...... No, that demon thinks of you as a treasure?"

"It's not just that guy, as I get older, the monsters of the forest are also attracted to it. ”

It turns out that the scent that the monsters in the forest are talking about is from Rezeta? Yes, that's it, everything makes sense!

"Only Ais, who has always been so gentle with me, although he usually looks silly, but he can't hate him no matter what. ”

Hey, why do I think you're not praising Ais, you're scolding him?

"I'm sorry, Lord Wizard, I've been taking advantage of you. ”

"Took advantage of me?"

"I remember the first time we met, when I wanted to escape from here but was chased by the pursuers, and you saved me. ”

"Well, remember. ”

That was when I met this young couple not too long ago.

"Later, Aith came to me, and I knew that the demon had its eye on Ais, so I let Ais stay with you so that you could keep Ais safe. ”

"Is that ......?"

I sighed helplessly, but in the end I was calculated.

Then, suddenly, Rezeta looked at me with a serious expression.

"Lord Magic Book, that gate cannot be opened, if that great demon is released, not only this border city, but even this country will face annihilation. ”

"Even if you say that, I can't stop it now. ”

It's not that I don't understand the gravity of what Rezeta said, but now that Aryfia is imprisoned, my strength is almost at the bottom, and I don't have the capital to fight Kadol anymore.

"Please eat me. ”

――！

"Y-What are you talking about?!"

"Please eat me, Lord Wizard. ”

Rezeta's voice was extremely soft, as if she was saying something inconsequential.

"Everyone wants to eat me, and if they eat me, they will have the power to open the door, but no one cares if Ais lives or dies. ”

Rezeta looked at me, tears in her eyes reflecting sadness and certainty that she had never felt before.

"Please eat me, but I have one condition, I hope you can agree. ”

"On what terms?"

"That's ......"

The girl's lips furrowed, and she said the only request.

"Is what you said true?" I asked her in disbelief.

Rezeta nodded, confirming her thoughts.

"I see, I promise your terms. ”

"Lord Shinno, please eat Rezeta. ”

I gave the command in my mind, and the pages of the Magic Book opened, and the devouring vortex reappeared.

High in the sky, Kador noticed Rezeta's anomaly.

With a hideous face, he swung his sword and slashed at me as I opened the page.

But I'm faster.

The space in the center of the page spun rapidly, swallowing the girl in the red dress.
