"Believe it or not, I'm going to burn you too!"

Ellie whines at me as she activates the spell. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The magic that roamed around the little one began to gather like a fiery red mist towards Ellie.

These can even be distinguished by the naked eye's magic to produce powerful energy, which makes the light in the sky color a faint red hue.

The magic that had been channeled to me by Elle like a river was now pouring back into Elle along the soul link, like a low tide.

In the little one's mind, the incantation had been read to the end.

Even now I'll have to revoke my magic and hide back to Ellie's side, or I'll be burned to the ground along with the city.

Hum -

Blinking my eyes, which were dry from lack of water, my consciousness returned to my body.

Ellie, who was floating beside me, began to show a fiery red color from the scorching magic, especially her long blue hair, which had been completely dyed by the magic as if it were flames.

"Imp, I'm coming!"

Ellie reminded me one last thing.

"Okay, come on!"

My heart, like Ellie's, was beating wildly, and my head was so filled with the light from activating the spell that I couldn't see anything but the firelight in the distance.

Everything was blank and dim, except for the flame in Ellie's hand that glowed a dazzling red fire.

Princess Timia grabbed me so hard that even she would be terrified of Ellie's magic.

"Dawn Volcano"

The last incantation lit up Ellie's eyes, glowing red as if they had been completely consumed by the flames.

The ground began to tremble.

Ellie's magic surged into the earth like a waterfall, transforming into boiling lava that eroded the earth's crust.

In the huge crater that had just been blasted out by the White Fire Tunnel, lava bubbled up like seawater and began to rise rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, the Satie chieftains, who had surrounded us, began to flee in all directions.

None of them could resist such magic, and even if they were all combined, it would be less than a tenth of this magic.

The ground pierced by the white fire began to crack, and within a few tens of seconds, this force would sweep through the entire Satie chieftain, engulfing everything.

"Cloud City Creation, Wind and Thunder Spell"

Suddenly, with a spell, the whole sky trembled, and I was almost thrown over in the air, and even Ellie shook as if she hadn't stood still.

From the edge of the field of vision, at the end of the city, an endless storm suddenly erupted, rushing into the sky like a column of water from a geyser.

Like a large domed building that is gradually being built to the top, the wind and clouds formed by these manic magic envelop the whole city in an instant.

Then......

Whew――

Dense fog, like viscous air, is a phenomenon peculiar to enchantment magic.

Click!

Ellie's magic causes the ground to burst, and the entire city is engulfed in lava with a roar.

Of course - this was just an illusion that happened in the enchantment, and the real Satie Chieftain escaped Ellie's onslaught.

"You are still as violent as ever, and you have never revered the great creatures of the world"

The deep and powerful voice, as if the words have been carefully polished, contain extraordinary spirit and grace.

If it were somewhere else, this sentence would surely impress me with its owner.

But alas, I've already had a fight with the owner of this voice.

"It's Corlius"

Timia's hands tightened at the name, and she had plenty of reason to express anger, hatred, and fear at the name.

And that's one of the reasons why Elle and I deliberately made a big fuss here.

Now the corners of the little one's mouth have been raised high, revealing her little fangs, and the excitement that can't help but pour over from the soul link makes me feel excited.

Finally, the enemy has met.

Even Mogree, who had stayed in the depths of my heart, began to jump for a try, and this hatred made him feel extremely happy.

"Show up quickly, your defeated general, let me turn you over and bake!"

Elle blessed her voice with magic, resounding like thunder throughout the enchantment space, and at the same time, she raised her right hand high and began to gather magical power.

"Savage Dawn Mountain Elves, you never know what to fear"

Wow -

In the distance in front of us, a huge storm swirled sideways, and then this huge upright whirlwind gradually evolved into an elf.

An illusion nearly 100 meters high.

The cloak forged by the wind enveloped his body so tightly that we could not see him but the resolute jaw and the empty right arm.

Speaking of which...... It was also during the battle with us that Corlius lost a hand.

He also has plenty of reason to hate us.

However, this thought was forced by a strong fighting spirit, and now Elle was bent on fighting Corlius for three hundred rounds, and had no intention of thinking about anything else.

This powerful will also poured into my mind along with fiery magic.

"Humph!"

Ellie floated a little higher, as if to save herself from looking up at the illusion of Corlius.

But she soon discovers that this is just in vain, because in enchantment magic, the difference between height and height is formed by magic.

"I was expecting your Satie chieftain's hands to grow back like lizard's tails, but don't you seem like you're even as good as that little animal?"

Elle deliberately chose bitter words in order to provoke Corlius and make him jump out of his hiding place and fight us head-on.

"You...... Rest assured, I won't forget this debt"

The voice coming from the great storm illusion changed slightly.

Radicalization will be useful, but unfortunately not to the point where it can make Corlius lose his mind.

And...... Why does it sound like Corlius is brewing something?

Unlike Ellie, she is like a powerful lion who hunts only to shred her opponents.

And I, like a mouse, always think about the dangers hidden in the trees.

So even in the irresistible excitement, I could perceive the conspiracy of Corlius—

He's stalling for time.

There must be some means being mobilized that would give him an advantage, or even a lethal blow to us.

Otherwise he wouldn't have been so calm and wouldn't have stood in front of us like this to talk to us.

'Ellie'

'Well, I heard it all~'

The little one's heart was actually full of disdain, and she couldn't think of anything that could be a reason for her to lose the battle.

But because I suffered a loss in the last fight with Corlius, even Ellie listened to my advice and began to consider other possibilities.

"Are the cavemen driven by you?"

I shouted at the giant vision.

"The lowly troglodytes have surrendered to the glory of the Satie chieftain, and after destroying you uninvited guests, my army will sweep the entire Dawn Mountains"

Sure enough, although there was conclusive evidence before, nothing could compare to the enemy's own confession of his evil deeds.

"Hmph, just you, let alone the Dawn Mountains, you can't even get out of the edge of the Satie chieftain!"

Elle lashed out at Corlius in an angry little girl's voice.

"You mean Mespier and his expeditionary force? haha"

"If you are too conceited about your own strength, the lonely elf king will eventually fall into a siege that cannot be broken through, and be drowned by the sea of enemies"

While it was not surprising that Corlius was aware of Mespil's actions, what surprised me was where did Corlius get his confidence to win?

Considering the current attitude of the Storm Prince towards us, and the trap of using Timia as a bait, a bad feeling began to come over me.

Some kind of gigantic scam is working, and it may be much bigger than we expected.

Even Mespier's counterattack, Ellie's rescue of Timia, and now Corlius' sniping of us may be just part of this scam.

It's the dragon!

Sluka Sna, I have that name firmly in my heart.

Only he has the power to unleash such vast resources for an epic conspiracy, and only he has a reason to do so, and that's what he does best.

"Corlius, have you ever thought about it?"

I began to try another way to attack my enemies.

"In case you're just being taken advantage of"

Mouth cannon.

"Actually, you're here to face me and Elle for a definite defeat, and that will lead to the demise of your entire Satie chieftain, as well as the demise of our Dawn Mountains?"

"Hum hum hum ......"

All I responded to was a sneer.

"I was indeed used, and the whole Satie chief was used"

"But the duel between us won't end in my defeat"

"The Dawn Mountains will perish, but the Satie chieftains will not"

Ah, I've taken this guy.

Knowing that Sruka is far stronger than himself, he also pretends that he has enough strength to play a game of wits with Sluka.

There must be a limit to conceit, Corlius!
