The dark purple with some dark spots of hideous thunder light collided with the flickering aura of the pale green elves scattered in all directions, and the two powerful magic spells froze with each other for only a second, and the elements of wind and thunder collided and exploded, setting off a shockwave like a storm, destroying the stone pillar condensed by the earth elemental magic on the side.

"Huh. ”

Vena let out a chuckle this time, and as the raging elementals were blown away, the sorceress clearly saw what she wanted most.

Shattered.

The powerful Thunder Emperor's Spear confronts the barrier that can only bounce away from its surroundings in a split second, and the result is:

In between, the magic of the various attacks under the perfect defense is completely pierced by the spear of electric light!

"Ahh

In the midst of the turmoil, Vina seemed to hear Alphonse's wail. Undoubtedly, without the protection of magic, this time, the power of a single point of the remaining magical elements injected into it is no less powerful than those seemingly devastating grand magic, and the Thunder Emperor's Spear at the cost of the future growth space of the female magician's magic will undoubtedly turn this damned enemy into useless garbage on the side of the road.

However, Vina's current situation is not much better.

Her thin body sped backwards under the impact of the chaotic airflow, and her physical strength, magic and energy reached the limit, and she couldn't do anything to avoid falling heavily at the moment, even more overdrawn the space for future growth.

Her heart was at peace.

Because this is the second time?

In a few years of dullness...... How can it be considered dull when Captain Lance is around?

She was a little angry at what she thought.

In fact, because of Lance's existence, the sorceress hadn't fought too much in all these years, and the feeling of being pushed to the limit and on the verge of desperation like this brought more fear and anxiety to Vina during the last battle with Troy, who was possessed by the magic of rage.

But this time it was different, and she experienced her own growth.

It doesn't feel bad yet.

"Relying too much on one person can hold you back...... That's right? ”

The next moment, a bright red shadow rushed from the far end at an extremely high speed, stopping the trend of Vina flying upside down, and actually caught her firmly in the arms full of bloody breath.

Not Moore, his arms are a little stronger.

Ralph's arms are too stiff because they look like "excessive" muscles, and they are really not a comfortable place to use as a "pillow".

“...... You can always do things that I wouldn't have thought of, Troy. ”

As she closed her eyes, she seemed to be a little tired of the thoughts in her head, turned her head and buried it in the boy's arms.

"Not at all, are you complimenting me, or are you?"

His answer still makes people want to play tricks on him...... Spare me, this time I guess I'll have to lie down for a few days.

"It's a compliment. ”

"Thank you. ”

"Hah...... I really can't get used to having a conversation with you as a 'normal person'. As a matter of course, she snuggled into the boy's arms, letting him gently embrace her petite body, and her words were still sharp, but Vina, who opened her eyes again, stared directly at Troy's chest, and continued:

"So, what is this?"

She paused.

"What's going on around here?"

"What does it mean to be a normal person, except for men, women, and the elderly...... Are there any other kinds of people?"

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked you questions. ”

The boy thought for a moment, and the blunt answer made Vina die completely.

“...... Does it hurt? Ah, you don't have to answer that. ”

The gaze didn't stop, and what caught the sorceress's attention was the "hole" in Troy's chest filled with red sticky, which should have been the lungs, and the heart a little more offset.

However, there was no "trace" of these organs in this mass of blood or magical elements, not even veins and muscle tissue.

It's like being "penetrated" by something. Under normal circumstances, a person would have died if he had been injured to this extent, but Troy still looked "alive...... It seems to have something to do with this strange substance.

That's why Vena asked, "What is it?"

――Is the current boy really alive?

The substance that filled the hollow in her boy's chest also reminded Vina of some unpleasant memories, yes, the last time she fought a boy who was controlled by magic, those "tentacles" that could constantly change form to block attacks or turn into sharp blades.

Not at all, she had just seen something like this again.

Around the boy, at this moment, four crimson tentacles that made Vina unable to develop emotions other than "disgust" for it because of their sticky and slippery appearance were slapping the ground a little irritably.

This is what makes Vina beg "what are these?"

――Is Troy still Troy?

Exhaling deeply, the sorceress struggled to calm herself.

Around, the shockwave scattered by the collision of two powerful spells gradually stopped.

"There are many types of people, and if you really want to know, I can tell you slowly, but I'm sorry, forgive me for asking you one last question. Being able to ignore the tentacles surprised how powerful her heart could be, and thinking about it made her smile at her optimism, but it soon became heavy.

"You, is that you now?"

There was some irrepressible tremor at the end of his voice.

"I ...... Is it me? Can I still be me?"

It seems that Troy does not fully understand Vina's doubts.

"Looks like you're right. Vina was relieved that the boy was able to communicate with herself, even if it wasn't conversational at all, and that the tentacles weren't attacking her, but she wanted to be sure if she could.

"Where were you before? It's a bit of an exaggeration, but why are you here now?"

"Before, it should have been ...... What can I say......"

Completely unaware of the slightest reproach in Vina's words, Troy's response was somewhat indistinct. Looking at him, it doesn't look like he's lying, objectively speaking, Vina also thinks that this teenager will never lie, it is better to say that he has no ability to lie at all.

In other words, something had happened before that he had never seen or could not understand.

"You can think again...... Let's think about it later!"

Vina, whose expression had just become gentle, suddenly changed her words, her face sank and she turned her head sharply, such a small movement made her whole body scream.

But that's not something we should think about now, because—

"Hahahaha!"

- Alphonse's manic laughter could be heard again in the distance!
