A huge amount of blood burst from around the sword to the heights—

Everything in front of me was dyed purple by the burst of light. This light Lin Yiyan had seen before. It's not just lighting. Each ray of light becomes a tiny programmed ribbon. This is the light I saw when I used the short sword that Cardinal gave me to rescue the Vice-Knight Captain Fanatio.

There was no doubt that Eugeo reached the lifting plate and stuck his dagger into it. Although Lin Yiyan didn't know what the result would be, the time Charmilles sacrificed his life to buy, and Yugeo didn't let it go to waste.

The pitch-black spider, shrouded in the dimming light, swiped the ground slightly with its feet to stand up, even though the center of its body was completely pierced. However, the Colossus's arm pulled out with a damp sound, and the spider's massive body sank limply into a pool of white blood.

The four ruby-like crimson eyes had almost lost all of their brilliance. Charmille, who was constantly bleeding blood between his teeth, said in a weak voice after confirming that the lifting plate had been stabbed with a short sword, "Great...... Caught up. ”

The head turned slightly, and the four eyes looked straight at Lin Yiyan, "The last ...... Can fight together...... I'm glad ......" seemed to melt into the air, and the voice faded before finally stopping. The bright round eyes flashed red and dimmed.

Even in this near-death situation, Lin Yiyan still felt the overflowing tears blurring his vision. In the distorted vision, the giant body of the black spider continued to shrink silently. Little by little, the white pool of blood evaporated—and in a few moments, all that remained was a corpse about the size of a fingertip lying on its back on the ground, four steps shrunken.

The Colossus lost its attention to the black spider that had taken its life from him, and slowly turned his head, his glowing eyes locked on Yugeo. The huge body turned ninety degrees, and the toes of the steps were heavily rooted in the ground. In front of the Colossus, bands of purple light fluttered brightly.

Lin Yiyan concentrated all his remaining energy and moved his unconscious head a few centimeters to let the light source into view. On the south side of the circular room, a shimmering ring appeared not far from the glass window. That's the lift plate that Alice and I used to move to the hundredth floor.

A small cross-like object is pierced in the center of the ring. It's the bronze dagger Cardinal gave me and Eugeo and me. Because it was made from her hair that had grown over 200 years, it opened a spatial path between the object stabbed by the dagger and Cardinal.

Following Charmilles' instructions, Eugeo tucked the dagger of last resort against the Administrator into the lifting plate located on the ground. The entire lifting plate glows purple. Sigh——, high-frequency waves produced by the resonance of a large number of tuning forks continue to increase, and finally the entire short sword disintegrates and turns into a slender pillar of light connecting the lifting plate and the patio.

Eugeo, who was standing by the door, was so dizzy that he covered his face with his left arm. The colossus of the sword, which was advancing towards him, seemed to be bewildered by this incomprehensible phenomenon, and its joints clicked and stopped. The pillar of light is constantly expanding. In the center, a burnt brown plate appears. No, it's not an ordinary tablet. Rather, it is a door framed by a square frame with a protruding silver handle on one side.

Such a scene came into Lin Yiyan's eyes, and almost at the same time, the column became extraordinarily dazzling, and then disappeared. The high-frequency waves also gradually weakened, and the vast range returned to tranquility. Lin Yiyan and Ugeo silently looked at the thick gate, and its shape design and color matching seemed to have been seen there.

This moment-

Click. A hard, soft sound shook the air faintly but definitively. The silver doorknob turned slowly. The hard voice rang out again. The door is then gently pushed open from the inside. There was only one door on the ground, and when it was opened, it was supposed to be a large space of the same size on the other side. However, there was no moonlight shining through the gap between the frame and the door. It was pitch black inside.

Little by little, the door was pushed open, and when it was about fifty centimeters open, it stopped. Still can't see the other side. The giant, completely ignoring the existence of the door, still moved forward. The greatsword was three steps away from attacking Eugeo - two steps -

Suddenly, the darkness on the other side of the door was dispelled by a huge light. Horizontally, pure white lightning bolts burst out.

Click! I am afraid that the largest percussion sound of all the procedures I've ever seen hit my eardrums. The lightning bolt that hit the colossus of the sword directly crawled through the giant's body like a creature, and smoked it black.

After a few seconds, the furious electric shock finally subsided, and until now, it gave the impression of a colossus of swords with near-invincible durability, and its upper body shook violently, stopping its progress. Dozens of swords emitted a faint white smoke, and their eyes flickered irregularly.

The giant, who had taken a difficult step, was struck by lightning again. A divine technique with this power requires at least dozens of lines of techniques, and this burst of fire speed is really amazing. The colossus, which had been charred everywhere, let out a roar and took a step back, only half a second later—

With a loud roar, a third bolt of lightning burst out from the other side of the door. Hit by a beam that was even larger than the previous two, the five-meter-long colossus was knocked into the air like a paper figure swept away by a storm. The huge body that swirled into the air swept past the right side of the Administrator and crashed to the other side of the area. The force of the impact caused the central basilica to tremble.

Although the Colossus no longer moved, its destiny did not seem to have been exhausted, and the blades on the tips of its hands and feet still trembled slightly. But I still couldn't get back up right away. Lin Yiyan looked back at the darkness on the other side of the door again.

The name of the person who will appear from there, Lin Yiyan is already very convinced. In this world, there is only one person who can continuously unleash such a transcendent divine technique, except for the High Priest Administrator.

The first to emerge from the depths of darkness was the slender cane, and the small hand that held it. Then there are the puffy sleeves that wrap around the slender little hands. A black velvet robe with several crumple trims. Quadrangular square hat with tassels. The flat boots looming out from under his robe took a step forward and stood gently on the blanket.

Soft brown curls, and small silver-rimmed glasses that reflect the moonlight. At the same time, it has large eyes of childish and infinite wisdom, and releases a bright gaze through the lenses. Having spent almost eternity in the secluded Library, Cardinal, the Supreme Warlock with equal authority as the doppelganger of the Administrator, stopped walking leisurely under the blue and white moonlight. Immediately after, the door behind him shut.

Why is Cardinal, who is staying in an isolated library, here? Of course, it was Yugio's bronze shortsword that played an important role. Following Charmilles' instructions, the short sword, which was stabbed on the lifting disc, established a connection with Cardinal. This way, she can easily point the pointer of the lift plate at the library.

With a teacher-like serious expression, the little sage slowly looked around the top floor of the cathedral that he had visited for the first time. Then he looked at Yugeo next to him and nodded slightly. Then he pointed his gaze to Alice, who was lying a little farther away. Then he turned to Lin Yiyan, who was also lying on the ground, and showed a faint smile as if reassuring Lin Yiyan, and nodded again.

And finally—

She turned her body resolutely, her gaze reaching the silent High Priest Administrator floating in the depths of the room. In the face of the ultimate enemy that has not been seen for two hundred years, what kind of emotion will there be in your heart, it is completely impossible to judge through the side face.

Cardinal, who had confirmed his condition, raised the staff in his right hand. Then, the tiny body floated slightly and slid to the place where Alice and I had fallen. The sage, who had fallen to the ground, first touched Alice's back lightly with his staff. Particles of flickering light emanated from her body and entered the knight's body.

Then Cardinal gently tapped the staff on Lin Yiyan's shoulder. The warm light particles that were regenerated enveloped Lin Yiyan, who had long since lost consciousness. The cold feeling of nothingness that lingered in his body was gone, replaced by the burning pain of the giant hitting his abdomen. Before Lin Yiyan could let out a mournful scream, the heat turned into warmth and melted little by little. The body that had gradually dissipated from the pain regained consciousness, and after opening and closing its stiff right hand several times, it groped for the wound in the abdomen.

Although the scars still remained, to Lin Yiyan's surprise, the wound that could almost break the entire body actually healed. If Lin Yiyan wants to achieve the same result, he needs to sing for hours in the forest under the sun.

It's great – it's hard to describe in any word, and it comes at a great cost. This was not me, but Cardinal. I'm afraid the High Priest Administrator is looking forward to this—

Ignoring Lin Yiyan's worries, Cardinal floated in the air again. Passed in front of Lin Yiyan and waved his cane at Alice. The healing light of diamond particles descended again, falling on the knight's chest, which was dyed crimson.

Moved some distance and landed in front of the small remains on the velvet carpet.

Boom. With a soft and crisp sound, the cane stood on the ground. Even when he was let go by his master, Dinal bent down slightly, gently picked up Charmille's body from the ground with both hands and put it on his chest, lowered his head and said softly in a very small voice, "This...... A sucker. Obviously, the old man said that in order to reward you for your hard work, you will live freely in the corner of the bookshelf you like in the future. ”

Deep in the round-rimmed glasses, the long eyelashes blinked two or three times. Lin Yiyan used his right hand, which was finally able to move, to hold the black sword that he had dropped beside him, and used it as a crutch to stand up. He staggered over to Cardinal and asked the one thing he wanted to know most, "Cardinal...... That's, what Charmilles really looks like...... Is it ......? ”
