"I'm out of the house~ Miss Mary thinks-Ryunosuke!?"

"I didn't think about—huh?"

Boom!

Looking at Olga Marie and Hayashi Hao as usual, even though he knew that there was nothing abnormal in his body at "this time", Ryunosuke involuntarily weakened his limbs and stumbled down on the porch.

Lin Hao hurried to pick him up, while Olga Marie looked here and then at the "time machine" in disbelief.

"I'm fine," Ryunosuke calmed the worried Lin Hao, and then looked at Olga Marie: "You want to [go to Antarctica]." ”

"I don't want to! Wait a minute...... Is that so? Olga Marie seemed a little frustrated, but quickly reacted: "What's going on, say it." ”

"The [Executor Leif] of the [Clock Tower], the main body is the [Three] [Pillar] with many eyes, or tentacles? What do you think about its ability to extract and control nearby magic spells and magical attacks, and turn them around as you wish? Ryunosuke said in one breath.

"What? So...... Although there are ...... But...... How could it be? Olga Marie's face was shocked, and she began to say some unexplained prepositions and phrases.

Obviously, she had heard similar information, but she never connected it to Leif the person, and after getting the evidence of "going to the South Pole" that "Ryunosuke's next words were all true", all kinds of "impossible" and "unreasonable" walls that had been standing in her mind collapsed, and as a result, she constantly "updated" the "conclusions" she remembered about this person and related things.

Because of being able to "read the file", it feels like the world is becoming more and more like a game, Ryunosuke looked at Lin Hao, who was worried, but didn't ask anything, and sighed.

If you can't beat it once, you can do it twice, three times, and if you can't beat it alone, you can go to find friends and foreign aid, isn't it like the protagonists in RPG games who are stuck because of poor level or equipment?

And Lef, as a boss, also lives up to expectations by hiding the most common enemy boss ability, "Stage Transformation".

At the time, he was being suppressed by Sasaki Kojiro and Cuchulain with weapons, by Medea with magic, and with Hercules on his radar, he was in an absolutely disadvantageous position as far as a magician (Caster) was concerned—but he transformed.

First, with some kind of strange black light—let's call it visually—it bounced off all the Pseudo-Masters and Pseudo-Servants who controlled him, and then his body swelled rapidly, turning into some kind of "pillar" or "tentacle" like a towering giant tree, covered with strange eyes with red eyes on a gold background, and finally, it was split into three.

He, or perhaps they said in a roar with echoes and tremors:

"I'm LevUvall! 】”

"I'm Lainur Gusion! 】”

"I'm Mr. Flauros! 】”

"You're all going to die here! 】”

After that, the giant magic position that was originally controlled by Medea and absorbed Lef's magic to prevent him from fighting to the death changed its owner.

Hercules, whose physique surpassed ordinary people a lot, fell to the ground on the spot and could not move, and the body shape was quite normal, Ku Chulainn and Sasaki Kojiro were barely able to walk and even attack, but against an enemy of that size, there was no chance of winning, and the worst thing was the original owner of the position, Medea fainted in the arms of Soichiro Katsugi with a cry of pain, judging from the exposed part of the hood, her eyes, nose and mouth were bleeding outward.

As Katsuragi himself had said, the other magicians could not interfere with the buffs he had already strengthened on his body and fists and feet, and after this accident, he turned and ran away with Medea in his arms completely unaffected.

Karen was in a little trouble, and it seemed that all her magic was out of control, but her bright red "scarf" was not affected, and she ran away from her.

As for Ryunosuke himself, he doesn't have much magic in itself, and he doesn't know much magic, although he once again experienced the severe pain caused by the complete draining of the magic power in the magic circuit when he was in the Tosaka Mansion again, but as long as he endures it, there is no problem with normal actions.

In addition, although the original intention of these three "pillars" was to attack Ryunosuke and others, within the range of the "Aurora on the Ground", various magical organizations would not let this monster act wantonly, and by the time Ryunosuke successfully escaped, the abandoned inn area had become a battlefield for magic wars.

In the end, thankfully, when Ryunosuke returned to Camelot, he found that although Lin Hao was bleeding and unconscious, he was not in danger of his life, which was enough to prove that his previous judgment was correct, so he activated the "Spear of Glory to the Distance" with the satisfaction of "successfully beating the boss to the next stage".

"It's the [Demon God Pillar]!" Olga Marie finally recalled a certain keyword, and said in shock: "The legendary [Seventy-two Demon God Pillars] under the command of [King Solomon]! ”

"This 'Demon God Pillar' you are talking about, is it powerful?" Ryunosuke, who had little knowledge of history and the magical world, asked.

"It's not a question of whether it's powerful or not, as long as you have a card, you can drive," the surprise on Olgamari's face did not subside: "The problem is, Lef, Lenore, and Flolos, this is the real name of the three Demon God Pillars, they didn't even change it, and they directly mixed into the clock tower?" Or have you become an 'executor'? We didn't even wonder when we heard the name? ”

"Maybe it's because of their abilities?" Ryunosuke guessed.

"They are in charge of the 'past', 'present' and 'future' respectively, and it is logically impossible for them to appear at the same time, let alone merge into one and pretend to be human, unless they ......" Olga Marie said as she looked at Ryunosuke, "Someone who may have an effect on all three attributes at the same time has appeared." ”

Refers to yourself? It's possible, Ryunosuke frowned, if Leif was just an ordinary magician, he shouldn't have seen anything from the images that made the magic pass back - what threat could a rookie magician who had just activated the magic circuit and couldn't do a few tricks have?

The only explanation is that he perceives the power of time that he carries with him when he frequently "crosses", or......

[I want to be able to carry all the pain and misfortune in the world, whether it is 'past', 'present', or 'future'. 】

"What did you say?" Ryunosuke seemed to hear Hayashi talking, but the voice was very small, like a mosquito chirping.

"What?" The childhood sweetheart beside him looked confused: "Do you need me to help you go to rest?" ”

"No, it's nothing," Ryunosuke temporarily gave up the idea of asking about these inconsequential matters, "We'll have to talk to Mr. Tosaka, the severity of this matter is beyond the reach of our group of young people." ”
