Forty seconds left—

"Cold Wind ——!"

Michelle, who has lost all of her tier cards, can now only rely on the magic she casts. At this time, the magic he used was a third-order, dual-attribute hybrid technique of wind and ice, which was used 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.

The Black Rose regained its sharpness, and yes, it was the cold wind that 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 in—

“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—

Dietrichia's offensive became more and more intense, and the closer she got to her body, the growth rate, number, and power of the tentacles increased, and the effect of the cold wind 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, ah——! 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 all over her body, 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——! stunt - Nine Extinctions of Turbidity!"

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 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 flames, seemed to launch a roar of victory, and Lillian performed the original magic sword technique created by the legendary figure of the adventurer, that is, her grandfather, the Holy Rank warrior Mr. Whitehouse, the Turbidity Nine Annihilation.

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

It can only be said that Lilian is worthy of the name of genius, at the age of eleven, she is 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 repeats its old trick, and the severed tentacle break is instantly turned into the muzzle of the light cannon, and Lillian's position at this moment is the blind spot of the shielder's defense, and the fire of the fragmentation cannon will 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 the hands of Alice, 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 just a helpless, trembling little girl.

"So don't you guy——! in a daze"

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 whirled around in front of her 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, petite maid who was even smaller 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 actions were not out of brute force, but because of his fighting talent, which 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 he will take the most appropriate action decisively.

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 slipped over the frontal open shielder, cleverly intercepting the threat of the light cannon behind him.

I have to say that even if you know the principle, not everyone can squeeze out John's courage. You must know that the white light sprayed by Dietrichia 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 if the ice layer of the moon god armor is not bad, it cannot be prevented, and at this stage, only the shielder card in Michel's hand that has not yet been put into mass production can defend 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.

However, 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, alas, failed...... Bring Miss Lillian back first, and I'll let Miss Eliezer use tactical magic to break the queen for you.

Michelle's retreat command sounded over the communicator.

"No, it's not over yet!"

Refusing to run away, John held Lillian in his arms and inserted a card into the slot around the waist of Luna's armor.

This magic pattern reacts...... John, what did you do!?

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

Could it be - stop it, stupid! That thing hasn't been tuned yet——!

"Berserker loading ——!! proud of the ——!!"

Ignoring Michelle's obstruction, John's fighting spirit swelled into a golden color at this moment, while the porcelain white armor of the moon god's armor flashed a dangerous bright red hue. 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 in his body immediately dimmed after the palm, 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 rear of safety? Is this the posture of a magician that he has longed for since childhood? 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 meat exploded, the girl's painful crying face buried in the center of the pieces of meat was exposed...... Although the End-of-Life Beast is powerful and has endless regenerative abilities, this does not mean that destroying its body will 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.

In other words, evolution is equivalent to the process of fighting against 'death' and 'suffering', and the more powerful 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?

"Miss Eliza, please read the mutual coordinates of me and John's Luna Armor, and immediately teleport me 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...... All right......

"After teleporting me, please activate Time Stasis immediately. ”

Five seconds –

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

Michelle, on the other hand, made it to the heart of the Beast of the End, in front of Dietrichia's unsightly mutilated body. 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......

"Miss Eliser, don't cry, I don't intend 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 stasis was activated, ten seconds earlier than scheduled. The huge fleshy eggs that encased Dietrichia and Michelle were slowly smeared to a gray color.

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?"

It's just that...... 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 him to see the lovely exclusivity of the angelic little girl at such a time, made Michelle feel some indescribable joy in his heart, and then sank into the darkness of stagnation.
