Chapter 3: Tracks of Light

..................

A gentle stream of air brushed across my face.

......。

Flocks of free-flying birds chirp for a long time on the distant skyline.

......。

Limited.

Reason, freedom, love, time.

Always the most magnificent and wonderful psalms in nature.

Boundless.

The universe and the eternal laws of the gods are running in an orderly manner.

..................。

It's dark all around.

I just felt my hand being gently held.

"So warm ......" ???

I opened my eyes in a daze.

- At this moment, I am at the top of the distant mountain range on the continent of Grancis. The wind whistled low through the sea of palm groves and endless fields below......

Dreaming?

"Uh............" The body hurts and numbs.

-- Why?

-- Why?

I....... I can't beat that guy.

Something like tears oozed from the corners of his eyes.

"Alan—don't cry"

A familiar voice came from beside itself.

My heart trembled and I looked to the side.

The familiar slender figure was standing in the wind, her skirt fluttering in the wind, her long hair draped behind her. - Aster.

"Aster............. ”

Ignoring the tearing pain all over my body, I walked towards her.

- "Aster ....... I...... I've been fantasizing about the day when I can meet you again. ”

The closeness of her figure, and the familiar scent that emanated from her body reinforced my confirmation.

"Don't cry if you're a boy. If you have time to cry, you might as well think about how you can get stronger—" Shion smiled gracefully.

"You're strong now, but you'll be able to get stronger."

"Definitely—"

Shion's hand coincided with my sweaty hand.

The clouds in the sky obscured the warm daylight.

"If you don't try it, you'll know what the result will be?"

"Isn't it the dream of you, Allen, to create a world where there is no more killing and everyone lives happily?"

"If it's Alan, you. ”

- Definitely.

She kissed me softly on the cheek. Produces a wonderful touch.

- Definitely

――It's going to be a miracle!

The magnificent scenery of Grancis's afternoon passed away like an arrow from a string.

Be in the light.

Under the brilliant light.

"Ahem............" I spat out a mouthful of blood, with a little bit of blood foam. His body had been stained gray and black with blood. A large cut was made in the sheepskin travel bag.

"Aster ....... ”

The man, with his back to me, was still there.

“Windsia-Rex。 "I struggled to recite the incantation.

In an instant, the air began to swirl rapidly. A vengeful magical storm was formed. Carrying gravel and iron filings from the ground. There was a loud bang. Hit that back unbiasedly.

- "Huh...... wouldn't it have been nice to do this earlier?" The figure in the distance slowly turned, revealing a terrifying expression in the miserable white magic light. He used his fingers to slowly wipe away the blood that had been cut off from his face.

"The mongrels should stay on the ground."

The man shouted in a frantic voice, and then rushed at an incomprehensible speed.

“...... Please, don't stay here any longer, run away—" Charlotte's voice trembled like a silver bell.

Even if you are crying, you are on the verge of collapse......

Nor could it hide the dazzling light she radiated.

........................

"Have you finished singing the touching hymn?"

The man's unhappy voice came from beside him. In the next second, a fist was swung at a speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye.

“TIMEACCUERIA――”

Time perception is doubled. There was a sharp pain all over my body. I strained to the side and forward. "Whoosh"

The fist swept through the tip of his nose with a curling stream of air. At that moment, I met the man's blood-red eyes and kicked the man's body away at the same time.

"REF-REMIX!" FLAMES FLOWED FROM HIS FINGERS, CONVERGING INTO A GIANT FIRE-TYPE MAGIC PROJECTILE ABOVE THE CAVERN. Instantly rushed to the man's body. I then rolled twice to pull away.

"Dingding, Ding......!"

Even the magic bullets suddenly fired in a volley.

"Damn!!, I'm just an ant, but I dare to tease me......" The man used extremely fast physical combat to disperse the flying magic bullets. The arm was bruised by countless flames.

More, more magic bullets.

I gathered my energy and controlled the three magic bullets to quickly circle the man's line of sight. Thrown heavily on the man's back.

"Smack!" the sound of the bullet popping irritated my eardrums.

"Damn, hateful, hateful!!" the man shouted in a furious tone.

The air was slowly gathering and taking shape in the man's hands.

- The dark golden greatsword infused with endless evil and lamentation.

"I'm going to kill ....... Kill you! Kill you!!"

The man's voice grew faster and faster, and he swirled like a black light.

"Ahem......" The left hand clenched into a fist.

――As long as you can use it

I forcefully pulled a glittering wand from my duffel bag, which was about to split in half.

-- The Last Hope

At this moment, there are countless delicate silvery-white spots flowing on its surface.

There is a surge around me

It's the people who died here,

Sad and noble dreams that were not realized in life.

And the Miracle Stone is emitting a dazzling divine light.

A black demon is striking at this place with a giant sword in hand.

I raised my wand above my head.

now

Shout out the miracle's real name.

That is

“EX-Lith-AUDERY!!!!”

Huge magical power gushed out, straight through the walls of the temple. The earth trembled with a bang.

The man held the greatsword in front of him, slashing down with force at the incoming light.

"Ahhh......hhh Ahh

The man's body was reduced to dust in the dazzling light.

..........................................

"Whoa—"

I broke the chain that held the girl's wrist to it.

Due to extreme sadness and worry, the girl, who had long since lost her strength and was unconscious, slid towards the ground like a doll.

I gently caught her.

Piercing the walls reveals the vast expanse of the sea at the back of the Casadis mountains.

The sky began to glow white.

Handsome sunrise over Casades.

From the dim underground to the light of day, the sea style is cool

The girl in her arms opened her eyes gently.

His body trembled slightly with surprise.

"- Welcome to the outside world. ”

"Charlotte Edelliser. ”

I said softly.
