“......”

Facing Lance's indifferent tone was flat and soothing, but he unexpectedly had a sense of aggressiveness, the masked cheeks of the young man in white still didn't know what kind of expression it would be. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He still didn't move.

He remained silent.

“...... She. ”

For a long time, the expression on his face remained unchanged, but he just didn't show the uneasiness in his heart, Lance finally heard the other party's voice, and this opening can be regarded as a negation of his speculation.

According to Lance's understanding, there is indeed a certain "forbidden technique" in this world that needs to meet "certain conditions" to be cast, and among them, "not being able to speak" should be regarded as a relatively common condition.

So, since he's not ...... Forget it, it's not something worth noting at all.

"She?"

He asked a rhetorical question briskly, but his heart was pounding with pressure. Under the operation of abundant magic to the limit, the periphery. The magical elements that had disappeared for a while due to the chaotic explosion caused by the previous boy had quickly filled the entire space again and were neatly arranged in front of Lance.

It was supposed to be Barbara's masterpiece, and Lance's choice was to use these newly created elements before they were on the other side.

The fact that the other party doesn't have magic is really tricky, and without magic power, it's hard to be perceived, and it's hard to prevent his attacks. In addition, the trickier thing is the opponent's moves, if it is not for his own senses to be blinded, then the magic that the young man in white just cast against Ralph is likely to be the "space magic" that has long disappeared from this land.

- Hah, why did you get into trouble with such a terrible guy?

It must be admitted that at this moment, Lance does not have the slightest grasp of what will happen next, what to do, how to do it, and all the decisions are probably in the hands of the other party.

――In this way, you don't feel like you're being able to improve your strength at all, but it's not bad. The presence of you people is what keeps me going.

A gentle smile crossed the corners of his mouth, and the leader of the association team, who had already laid a triple "Azure Holy Shield" in front of him, did not want to back down at all.

Although he could understand the purpose of Moore's unwinnable battle just now, unfortunately, the result of this move only made the desperate difference in strength a little clearer that had been shrouded in a curtain.

"Space magic", terrifyingly calm courage, judgment, and "elemental blasting" that can be used at will without paying any price, the identity of a person with such a breakthrough move can probably be delineated.

And this is the only information that his side has at the moment. Something else...... Oh yes, and the other thing is that his purpose seems to be to take Barbara behind him...... To be honest, her presence is also extremely incredible.

Unlike Vina's reaction, the girl who was supposed to be someone's "creation" did not make Lance feel the slightest relief, because he could feel a considerable sense of disobedience from her. The captain of the association can even "smell" a trace of tragedy from her.

-- But I didn't have time to think about those things. Why don't you think about how to deal with the tension at the moment?

"Why is someone of such a 'noble status' like you here, is it just for 'her'? It seems that she should be a very important existence to you, right, or is it important to the person behind you?"

Lance knew he was talking nonsense. No matter how "wishful thinking" is, there is no possibility that the other party will be stupid enough to reveal his identity, and to be honest, there is only one purpose in saying such things at such a time, and that is to keep himself as calm as possible.

"Ahem, don't you want to give me an answer?"

"It's terrible", this sentence is not an exaggeration even if it is repeated several times. The terrifying aura exuded by the young man in white will make "weaklings" like us lose their minds, and since he appeared, he has not said that he has done anything "actively", but it has made Moore and them all have to fight him as the only way to survive.

-- Perhaps, he never regarded us as "enemies".

Lance suddenly discovered such a fact that made people break out in a cold sweat. He never saw us as enemies, but we were afraid of his might and thought that taking the initiative to provoke a war was the only way to survive.

"She. ”

Standing in front of Lance, whose face began to change slightly, the young man in white still responded with only one word.

"If I'm not standing in front of her, can you let us go?"

Although such a weak statement may be the most "sensible" and "feasible" option, Lance is still unlikely to say such a thing anyway.

Although the relationship between everyone and Barbara is only a meeting in Pingshui, there may be a real pull of fate, but anyone who still has a little "conscience" in his heart can remain silent and wait and see when the girl utters such a painful wail.

If Barbara is taken away by this young man in white, then she will probably still suffer such a heart-wrenching ending in the future, right?

As a creature of others, she has the "ability" that cannot exist for human beings, and perhaps, from the first moment she was born in this cruel world, her end was doomed.

“......”

――When?

Cold sweat flowed down and soon soaked through his clothes, and just as Lance was trying to keep his mind active to stay awake, at that moment, the figure of the young man in white had disappeared.

"Ahh......h Don't!"

Behind her, Barbara's frightened cries were faint to Lance's ears. Fear, unprecedented fear was really uncontrollable this time.

Obviously the physical strength has not been lost at all, the magic power is still so abundant, and the most proud defensive magic that he has built is still so intact, why? Why has the will been destroyed?

Yes...... It turned out to be, broken.

"Crackling. ”

Appeared behind Lance who was preoccupied in an instant, the young man in white grabbed Barbara's arm without mercy and pulled her up from the state of sitting down, Vina, who was originally relying on the girl, fell down with a bang after losing her support, and the three in front of Lance, whose strength was strong enough to block the "shadow", also shattered at this moment.

I didn't know what the other party had done, and the coolness spread throughout my body in the blink of an eye, and at this moment, there was only one thing left in Lance's mind.

Now, he understands only one thing.

-- The gap between him and us is too great.
