In the passage leading to the central area of the "Caldia Cathedral", the members of the Dark Guild lay on the ground, and two young men were facing the last few enemies.

"-Drink!!"

With a flash of golden lightning, the last two enemies flew upside down screaming, crashing against the wall and convulsing into a coma.

“…… So, that's all there should be, right? ”

Sweat dripping from his forehead, Yuri, who was holding his legs, confirmed to the brunette girl who closed her eyes and sensed her surroundings.

"Well, the magicians who stayed nearby have basically been cleaned up, and some of the fish that have slipped through the net should not be able to catch up in a short time, which is enough for us to act!"

Counting the number and distance of enemies in the detection circle, Zela gave the news that excited the two of them.

"Good!"

“…… Is that what it means so far......"

Precht, who had retracted the chains, sighed, and while following the brown-haired girl, he also recalled in his mind the 'thoughts' that the other feather-eared girl had said.

……

Before the operation began, somewhere in the shadows on the Avenue of Magunoria.

"What!? You're going to be the bait?! ”

Yuri, who heard Mebis's suggestion, couldn't help but scream, and then lowered his voice as if he noticed that it was too noisy and would attract enemies.

“…… I mean, it's true that you're much better at magic than we are, but this kind of thing ......."

The expression looked very struggling, although Yuri still didn't know how strong the two girls from the island were, but after getting along these days, he believed that it would be easy for both Mebis and Zela to take them down.

But for this reason, the little girl who is only thirteen years old is asked to be the bait, and they really can't accept this practice.

"Mebis ......"

Zela, who was also disapproving, was worried, but it didn't stop Mebis from making a decision.

Because she knows that blindly protecting will only backfire and will not make people grow.

Seven years of accumulation will not be in vain, and now the feather-eared girl can already take charge of herself.

"It's okay, Zela!"

Knowing what her friend was worried about, Mebis smiled, gave her a reassuring look, and continued.

The plan wasn't complicated, but based on the information she had received and her observations, she had roughly estimated that the total number of enemies should be between four hundred and five hundred, and the amount of mana of the ordinary members was not very high, giving it a 'mass-produced' feel.

In terms of numbers, it is indeed the overwhelming advantage of the other party, but they are not bad at taking the elite strategy here!

Among the five, Mebius's "magic" is also the most suitable for decoy work and group combat.

"In that case, the old man will also stay with him as bait!"

After listening, the long-faced man was thoughtful, and then patted his chest at everyone.

"Volod!"

"Yuri, Precht, I'll leave the battle over there to you, and you know that my 'magic' isn't suitable for use in a small space, right?"

“……”

Volod's judgment was not wrong, compared to Yuri's "Ray" and Precht's "Dark", his "Wood" was indeed more suitable for use in a wide place.

“…… Well, that's fine, so Volod and I can get the enemy's attention as much as possible. ”

"Oh!"

"As for Yuri, Precht, and ......"

At the mention of Zela's name, Mebis hesitated. Just as Zela worries about her baiting, she worries about Zela's safety.

If Yuri and Precht alone were reassuring, it would not have reassured her, but with Zela, it would be different.

This really makes her very conflicted......

“…… Don't worry, Mebis, I'll leave it to me over there, you mean, it's a 'decapitation tactic', right? ”

Knowing the whole picture of the plan, Zela could probably guess what Mebis was thinking. Although she can go alone, it is actually not bad if there are two people to help her, and she can also hone their magic by the way.

It's not a boast, Zela is still quite confident in his own strength.

“...... Well! ”

Responding softly, Mebis came to his friend and raised his little hand with a steady smile on the corner of his mouth.

“……？”

Not quite understanding the little one's actions, Zela tilted her head in confusion.

"Yuri, they have Yuri's way of encouragement, let's use our way!"

After all, this can also be said to be their 'debut battle', of course, it is a little more memorable.

“……”

"You're so childish......"

"Hee-hee-hee......"

Under the witness of Yuri's three people, the two small palms clapped together, and they also officially launched this "Magunoria" counterattack.

……

************************************************************************************************************************

"Hey! Look over there! I remember it was in the direction of Volod and Mebis, could it be that something happened again?! ”

As he approached his destination through the hallway of the church, Yuri, who was looking through the windowpane, saw the dazzling light emitted from the position of his companions who were acting as bait, and he couldn't help but scream.

This change also drew Precht's attention back, and he ran to the window to look over.

"Isn't it ......!"

Could it be that the movement over there is too big and attracts their target?

Just when the two didn't know whether to move forward or return to the meeting, fortunately, the words from behind them relieved their uneasiness.

“…… Do not worry. ”

Feeling the warm light source, she looked at the brunette girl there and shook her head with a smile.

"That's Mebis' magic."

“——！”

Hide the real in the unreal.

That is, there is and there is non-existence.

This is the miracle awakened by Mebis's 'mind', and it is also the "magic" that is most suitable for her derived from her study of a large number of documents.

"Lost Magic".

- "Fairy".

……

"Mebis's side has already started, and we can't lag behind on our side, let's go!"

Pulling the two of them back from that scene, Zela gestured to the locked door in front of her, her perception firmly locked on to the largest black spot.

"Understood!"

"Hmm."

With an excited punch, Yuri and Precht stepped forward and pushed the door in front of them hard.

“……！”

A dark aura came over the face, and the interior of the cathedral, which was supposed to be sacred, was now painted with strange patterns, as if it were the scene of some evil ritual.

"This ...... What the hell is ......?! ”

The viscous disgusting magic made Yuri, who was still a shallow practitioner, unable to speak, and Precht also covered his mouth with an ugly face.

(Is that right...... This magic...... ）

With a frown, Zela, who had come here, could already determine what the source of that feeling was.

“…… Welcome to my 'kingdom'......"

“…… Disrespectful ......"

The cold words rang out, and the ghostly flames lit up the entire hall, revealing the full picture of the voice's owner.

(Is that the guy...... ）

(Fools led into the abyss by 'Jelf's power.') ）
