"[Cold Wind]-!"

Michelle, who has lost all of her Rank Cards, can now only rely on the magic she casts. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 At this time, the magic he used was a third-order, dual-attribute hybrid of wind and ice, and the effect was to shoot a strong wind of cold currents forward. The power of the light theory is not as powerful as the previous [Ice Blade], but the distance and range of the spell are quite wide, and it can instantly turn the entire path in front of you into an extremely cold winter.

Of course, this weak technique was not enough to injure the body of the [End-of-Life Beast], so his purpose was not to injure his opponent, but to create opportunities for his companions.

The swordsman of Black Flame took the lead, and the flaming demon knife slashed out a sharp sword flash, slashing all the tentacles that flew in the air without interruption.

[Black Rose] re-showed the edge of its divine weapon, and yes, it was because of the [Cold Wind] that successfully caused the moisture and mucous membranes on the surface of the tentacles to freeze quickly. That alone was enough for Lillian to wield her destructive power, allowing the blade to cut through the brittle surface of her skin with ease.

However, in the end, the demon knife could only cut off the monster's **, but there was nothing to do about the oncoming light cannon, and now, Lillian charged in a straight line, and there was no dodge at all. At the moment when the white light of destruction poured into—

“【shielder】――！”

Thirty-five seconds down -

Michelle dismantled the wide area of the defensive barrier, instead condensing all of her shields directly in front of Lillian, advancing with her as she walked. I saw that the dazzling white light surging from the front was like a river hitting a rock, diverging to both sides.

Lilian followed John closely, he didn't make any attacks, just stuck to the back of the girl swordsman, concentrating on the palm of his hand. Michelle's shield, Lilian, who was holding the demon knife, and John, who was condensed and fighting, formed a line in the shortest distance and the fastest speed, taking advantage of the cold wind blowing behind him to quickly approach Dietrichia's position.

This is Michelle's strategy, twisting the power of the three into one, turning into a flying spear, and breaking through head-on. In fact, there is no other way, and the time limit to imprison the opponent is imminent.

There are only thirty seconds left.

Dietlixia's offensive became more and more intense, and the closer she got to her body, the growth rate, number, and power of the tentacles continued to increase, and the effect of the [Cold Wind] technique became weaker and weaker.

On the other hand, Lilian's sword skills have become more and more difficult as time goes by, but this is also helpless, no matter how talented she is as a swordsman, the functions of the human body have limits, high-intensity continuous movements will cause muscle and bone fatigue, and concentration will gradually decrease. Not only that, but the low temperature caused by magic has dulled the nerves and senses more than before.

It was only a few steps away from the target, but just a few steps had become an insurmountable chasm, with a total of nine tentacles approaching from all directions, and the girl's sword technique was no longer able to make a complete defense.

At this moment, in the face of the crisis scene, the black-robed girl seemed to have made up her mind, and after struggling to cut off a tentacle, she closed her hands and used the hilt of her knife to remove the blindfold that originally covered one of her eyes.

At this moment, Lilian's magic power grew explosively, and the black flame, which was originally only wrapped around her arms and the blade, suddenly skyrocketed to her whole body, making the girl swordsman completely turn into a demon covered in black flame.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh--I didn't expect it...... Today you want to force me to lift the seal of the Demon Eye...... but since you have come this far, let you see the endless pain carried by the guilty Black Flame......!"

Even if she is tired and out of breath, even if she is burned and her whole body is in severe pain, Lilian has to finish her lines at this critical moment. Probably, this is a certain code of conduct that she must not give up in her heart. Immediately after, in the face of nine giant tentacles wrapped in different directions, Black Flame's magic and Lilian's fighting spirit fused into one, turning into a twisted giant beast.

"Be devoured by the black snake's fangs--!

The body of the giant beast rose into the sky, splitting into a nine-headed giant snake, and the sharp teeth of each giant snake were a sword slash from the girl swordsman, and the nine sword slashes were so fast that it seemed to be cut out at the same time. The tentacles of the [Beast of the End] were bitten off by the tyrannical black snake at the same time, and the viscous liquid burst and scattered in midair.

The [Hydra] intertwined with fighting spirit and black flame seemed to initiate a roar of victory, and Lillian's performance was the original magic sword technique created by the legendary figure among the adventurers, that is, her grandfather, Mr. Whitehouse, a saint-rank warrior.

"Hmph...... Success......!"

However, Lilian is worthy of the name of genius, she is only eleven years old, and she is obviously still a long way from the 'Holy Order', but she can reproduce the stunt of the Holy Order in an instant, and burst out with no inferior destructive power.

"Fool, get out of the way!"

"Huh......?"

It's a pity that it's not playing now, no one will praise the girl's experience performance, there must not be a moment of distraction in actual combat, and after being heavily injured, the enemy will only launch a counterattack with more desperate momentum. It's like in front of me.

The Beast of the End was repeated, and the severed tentacle was instantly turned into the muzzle of the light cannon, and Lilian's position at the moment was the defensive corner of the [Shielder], and the fire of the Fragmentation Cannon would devour the girl without hindrance.

Lillian tried to escape, but her whole body refused to listen. After all, what she just used was a move that was beyond the limits of her physical fitness, strictly forbidden by her grandfather, and the opposite of her great power, and she would also bear an unimaginable burden.

"No, don't ......"

It is only when faced with a real crisis that people instinctively fall into panic.

Lillian is a genius, and in her grandfather's union, she has always been praised by her surroundings, and she is also evaluated as a child who is not afraid of heaven and earth. Although the originally inflated self-esteem has recently been frustrated at Alice's hands, Alice will never seriously kill the killer. So, feeling regret and fear for the act of 'fighting' may be her first experience at this moment.

Death is approaching, and the so-called genius swordsman is nothing more than a helpless, trembling girl.

"So don't be in a daze, you guy!"

At this moment, the girl's screams came from behind her, and then, she only felt her body the ground, and the white light of the killing must brushed a few strands of hair beside her sideburns in horror. It wasn't until the world was spinning around for a while, and she finally came back to her senses, that she realized that she was being held tightly in her arms by a handsome maid who was more delicate than herself.

At the last moment, John not only did not choose to flee or retreat, but flew up, grabbed the immobile Lilian, and accelerated to sprint forward. The young maid's action was not out of brute courage, but his fighting talent made him instinctively aware of the weakness of the 'heavy shooting weapon', "the closer you go, the more difficult it will be to deflect the angle of fire, and the hit rate will also decrease", and decisively take the most appropriate action.

John shuttled back and forth in the rain of light falling from the sky, and the last sliding shovel that was close to the ground beautifully crossed the [shielder] that opened in front of him, and skillfully intercepted the threat of the light cannon behind him.

I have to, even if we know the principle, not everyone can squeeze out John's courage. You must know that the white light sprayed by Ditlisia is a special weapon obtained by devouring the demonic beasts transformed by the ark, according to Alizze's analysis and research, this weapon is not magic, nor is it a physical attack, but an optical weapon that directly causes tearing effects on the dimensional phase with energy fluctuations, even the [Incorruptible Ice] of the [Luna Armor] cannot prevent it, and at this stage, only the [Shielder] card in Michelle's hand that has not yet been put into mass production can defend against him. Not long ago, John's father, Charlie, was bombarded in this way during the battle and eventually lost his life.

Moreover, when people are on the verge of life, they will instinctively seek self-preservation, which is an irresistible conditioned reflex, but despite this, John chooses to save his companions rather than himself. Objectively speaking, this kind of behavior has gone beyond the 'sense of justice' or 'sense of responsibility', and can be called a kind of pathological embodiment.

But none of this matters at the moment, and there are twenty seconds left.

Michelle's plan had been disrupted and had just been hampered by an unexpected obstruction, causing John to seem to be unable to reach his intended position, and Dietrichia seemed to sense some danger, and the flesh in front of her rapidly expanded, forming a large wall of flesh that was more solid than expected.

[John, unfortunately, failed...... Let's bring Sister Lilian back first, and I'll let Sister Eliza use tactical magic to break the queen for you. 】

Michelle's retreat command sounded over the communicator.

"No, it's not over yet!"

John refused to run away, holding Lillian in his arms, and inserted a card into the slot around the waist of the [Luna Armor].

[This magic pattern reaction...... John, what did you do!?]

"It's just...... Borrow your father's inheritance. ”

[Could it be--Stupid Stop!That thing hasn't been debugged yet-!]

"[Berserker] load-!!

Ignoring Michelle's obstruction, John's fighting spirit skyrocketed into a golden color at this moment, while the porcelain white armor of the [Luna Armor] flashed a dangerous bright red. Under the auxiliary effects of drug injections and electrical stimulation, the strength of John's physical performance far exceeded the original level.

The last fifteen seconds-

The young maid wrapped in bright red and golden yellow, he showed at least three times the speed of the original, and in an instant, he was close to the flesh wall. Then, the long-brewing fighting spirit of the body exploded out with the momentum of the cannonball. The solid flesh immediately exploded like a balloon, and the thick internal force continued to transmit along the cells and water until the original body of the girl, Dietrichia, was exposed to the air.

However...... However, this penetrating internal force was still one step behind, and after all, it could not be transmitted to Dietlixia's brain, knocking her out smoothly.

The pain all over his body after the palm immediately dimmed the light of the [berserker], and now with the body of a seven-year-old boy, it was already beyond his load limit in just a moment.

The last ten seconds......

Michelle mastered the battle situation through optical magic, and in just a few tens of seconds, Lilian and John fought all the way, and finally the two of them fell into a desperate situation together, which was imprinted in his eyes. As the eldest of the three, he couldn't help but feel guilty and ashamed of his desperate situation.

For the sake of his immature strategy, for the sake of a dangerous invention without security, he put the young boys and girls in danger, while he hid leisurely in the safety of the rear? Is this the attitude of a magician that he has always dreamed of? Perhaps from the perspective of common sense, such a formation is reasonable. But the two of them fighting in spite of the danger in front of them deeply touched the reserve of the 'man' named Michelle before becoming a magician.

Save them, John, Lillian...... And Dietlisy. After all the pieces of flesh exploded, the girl's weeping face buried in the center of the pieces of flesh was revealed...... although the [Beast of End] was powerful and possessed endless regeneration ability, it did not mean that destroying its body would not cause any pain. In fact, this phenomenon called 'evolution' is the evolutionary process in which animals and plants have to intensify and transform themselves in order to avoid natural predators, to avoid suffering and death, and to survive in the world.

That is, evolution is equivalent to the process of struggling with 'death' and 'suffering', and the stronger Dietrichia becomes, the more he proves that he is suffering endlessly.

However, isn't it her fault that she was the one who made her who she is, and who made her suffer so much?

"Sister Eliza, please read the mutual coordinates of my and John's [Luna Armor], and immediately teleport my [Space] to John's location, and replace the two of them back. ”

[Eh, Brother Michelle, it's very dangerous~~, with your current defense ......]

"There's no time!

For the first time in history, Michelle spoke in such a strong, commanding tone to his mentor.

[Woo...... Well......]

"After teleporting me, please activate [Time Standstill] immediately. ”

Five seconds--

Holding Lillian, John is suddenly teleported back to a position away from the monster. The two of them maintained a tight posture and fell asleep together.

Michelle, on the other hand, came to the heart of the Beast of the End, in front of Dietrichia's mutilated body that was difficult to look at. Gently pulled her into his arms.

"I've come to your rescue, Dietrichia. Don't be afraid, don't worry...... There is no need to run away, everything, leave it to me, believe me......"

The girl, who had lost her mind, gently closed her tearful eyes as if she had been redeemed by the gentle voice of the young man. The pieces of flesh and tentacles stopped rioting and struggling, and all converged in the direction of Michelle, condensing into a huge ball of flesh, as if in response to the embracement of the young magician. It didn't try to escape, it just stayed where it was, making a quiet pulsating sound, like a giant egg of life.

【Brother Michelle......】

"Sister Eliza, don't make a voice that looks like you're about to cry, I don't plan to die here. I still have a lot to learn from you, so I'll be waiting for you with Dietlisia...... Get us out as soon as possible......"

At this moment, the magic of [Time Stagnate] was activated, ten seconds earlier than originally scheduled. The huge fleshy eggs that encased Dietrichia and Michelle were slowly smeared to a gray color.

[Immediately!Definitely!I'll find a way to control the Beast of the End!I'll unlock this barrier and release you right away!]

"Ahaha...... There's no need to rush too much, just take your time, anyway, for me, it's just a matter of moments. However, I didn't expect you to worry about me so much, and as your disciple, I am really flattered. ”

I'm just ......

"Just?"

[Just...... No, I don't want Brother Michelle and the other girls to be alone...... never ......! Not for a second-!]

The unexpected answer from the mentor, who did not expect to see the lovely exclusivity of the angelic girl at such a time, made Michelle feel a certain indescribable joy in his heart, and then sank into the darkness of stagnation.
