Magic is of course a very convenient thing, and it is precisely because of this gift from the true gods that human civilization has been able to develop to such an extent in just a few hundred years. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

With the exception of "resurrection" and "immortality," which are related to life and death, and "time," space," and "law," which are collectively referred to as the "three basic elements of the world," there is probably nothing in this world that cannot be achieved by magic, a miracle-making force.

"Your question, unfortunately, I can only answer your first question. The answer is yes, what is wrapped around Ryan is not the dark element that is 'created' by ordinary dark magic...... I don't know where you came to know this word that was supposed to be 'taboo', but yes, it was 'shadow'. ”

Nodding slightly, Wissa didn't really ignore Troy's previous question. The content about Stardiri just now seems to be just a feeling.,The strongest answer in the school park is very honest.。

"Taboo? I see...... Ah, forgot, the questions should be asked one by one. ”

As he muttered in response, Troy suddenly realized that he had broken his agreement with Vina.

――Why did you suddenly forget this?

Troy, who whispered a word of sorry to the sorceress in his heart and reminded himself that he would definitely pay attention in the future, turned around.

On the other hand, the answer obtained through the mouth of Wiesa somehow made the boy feel extremely reassured, and it was strange to say that he only knew him today, but for some reason Troy always felt that the man next to him was much more reliable than Lance, who always appeared in his consciousness suddenly.

"As for the remaining two questions, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, but the knowledge of the Shadows happens to be the least known to me that is still far from reaching the realm of 'omniscience'. ”

There was no helplessness in Wissa's mouth, and the words of the "son of God" were not actually finished, and there should be one more sentence after this.

"So, that's why I'm close to you. ”

Although very faint, Wissa was able to perceive the "shadow" that did exist in Troy's "consciousness".

Objectively speaking, the magic in the boy was the strangest of all the people he had ever seen. If there are only two, there are some possibilities, but how can a person have four magic powers of completely different natures?

This is something that makes everyone suspicious...... But the point is that not everyone is able to perceive the other two kinds of magic in the teenager besides "vast peace" and "manic restlessness".

“......”

In addition, even Troy himself may not know. Knowing this, Wisa knew that there was no point in asking him himself, and after some effort to suppress his curiosity, the Son of God decided to go to the "Central Tower" to inquire about Sirune, and the prophet might have some eyebrows about it.

Of course, the visit was left until after the boy was sent back to his dormitory. However, if you ask the "Holy Maiden", it would be better to take the boy with you, right?

No, isn't that abrupt?

"Boom!"

The sudden roar in the middle of the field interrupted Wissa's thoughts, which were rarely tangled, and caused Troy to turn back again.

“...... Gone?"

Saying it in disbelief, the boy, who had been bothered by the "disgust for the shadows" since just now, widened his eyes a little dazedly.

That disgust is gone.

......

......

......

Back in time, just as Stardiri knocked Ryan away with a blow that applied triple body enhancement magic and weapon enchantment magic, Brant, who seemed to be a knight and mastered the "divine art", finally let go of his remaining worries under the "inducement" and "urging" of the man in black, and threw himself into the arms of the shadow without any scruples.

"Goo-"

I didn't feel any pain, not even the slightest pain from the wound I had suffered before. However, the indescribable feeling of being bound by the pitch-black elements that crept up from the soles of his feet still made the tall man's throat hum in discomfort.

The next moment, consciousness completely went blank, and it should be "pitch black" to be exact.

All that could be seen was the boundless darkness.

"Roar--"

For a moment, Brant's eyes seemed to appear as if he was a child. The old self, the skinny self, was slowly moving towards the other side, and the end of his path was-

“...... Bright. ”

Those were the last three words he uttered before he was completely enveloped in the shadows.

Since then, there has been nothing but darkness in his eyes, and nothing but endless coldness in his world. Once the road is set, there is no turning back, and if there is still sanity, Brant may still silently say to himself, "Do you regret it", but for a knight who has long since lost the most important thing, or "never really got it...... There is nothing more important in the world than this powerful force.

The road has long been deviated.

On top of the astray path, those who believe that they have been abandoned by the light will no longer have a chance to turn back.

"Do you regret it?"

- Never!

......

......

......

"Kill, kill, kill!"

The attack was frustrated again, but it only intensified his madness even more, and Ryan, who was wrapped in the shocking dark element "Shadow", didn't even notice the bright flames still burning in his chest, and of course he didn't feel the pain, and there was only one thing left in his mind at the moment, which was to kill the enemy in front of him.

"I've lost my mind completely...... No, it is no longer possible to call it 'human'. ”

The left hand has remained crooked until now, in other words, in the "second phase" of the battle, Stardiri has not really used it to do anything until now.

"The other party can no longer be called human," said the man who was not hindered by the slightest discouragement from his movement due to excessive clothing, seemingly casually sideways and dodged the opponent's violently waving arm, and the invisible shock wave around him was stopped by a rippling protective barrier.

Through the shadows, all abilities have been improved, and the part that makes Stardiri feel a little "frightened" is that the opponent's "strength" is still improving, however, Ryan, whose speed has not been further enhanced, is already very difficult to hit the man who has applied the body enhancement magic.

"It's almost time. ”

The words came out of his mouth, and the index finger of his left hand, which was clenched in a flash, pressed into the palm of his hand.

And then—
