The main reason why Selzewed deleted the memories of Amber, Dilas, and Dortje was to keep Friti unaware of the tasks it had told her to do, but it was now unable to disguise itself as before, and that was the end of its original intentions.

Realizing that he had been deceived, Pico made a big fuss, and the villagers who learned of Selzeveld's actions were overwhelmed and asked Lyle to lift the trio's Oblivion Curse.

By listening to the conversation between the three of them and Selzewed, the villagers learn the ins and outs of Selzewed's dying life, and the Asmail have created a magic that can renew its life, and for this purpose a person close to Selzewed needs to fall into a deep sleep and become a 'guardian'; Unable to accept his friends' sacrifices for him, Selzewed decides to end it all after rescuing his friends.

“…… Lyle, the magic created by Asmail is the same system as the magic we are using, right? Thea knew that Lyle was using magic that others couldn't imitate, so she asked.

"I have also explored the four major temples, and I have not found any special spells and magic arrays, only some kind of huge magic power that is enough to change the climate, which is in line with the characteristics of idealistic magic." Lyle looked at Thea and said seriously, "I know what you're trying to ask, and my answer is, 'You probably can't be a Guardian.'" ”

When it comes to the field of magic, Lyle is always the leader, but Thea doesn't question it, but asks, "Why?" ”

"Do you know why the families of those Guardians accepted their sacrifice for Lord Selzewed?" Lyle asked rhetorically without answering.

Seeing that Thea couldn't give an answer for a while, Elisa replied on her behalf: "Because Lord Selzeveld guards this area, and all the people who live in it. ”

Lyle nodded approvingly at Alyssa and looked at Thea again, "Yes, their sacrifice was justified, and that's why Thea is willing to sacrifice for Lord Selzeveld...... However, the consciousness made for the sake of righteousness is often not as firm as that of one's own consciousness, not to mention that if the premise of righteousness is no longer valid due to the changes of the times, the consciousness may be lost, so it is necessary to have a personal relationship with Lord Selzewyde. ”

Due to the deliberate replacement of Serzewede with a majestic character in the past hundred years, the villagers, including Xia, only admired him, but failed to form a firm bond.

At the end of the day, it's about the essence of idealistic magic.

"So......" Thea could only pause.

Sakuya also lost his former vitality, and said in frustration: "Lyle, is there really no way to do it?" ”

"If you want to continue your life, it should be the only way to let Amber, Dilas, and Doll Jie become guardians again." This is entirely possible, and Lyle can take the place of the Asmail in this magic.

"This is too ruthless...... "Kind-hearted teenagers and girls naturally can't agree with this solution."

The Guardians had sacrificed enough, and outsiders looked at them with compassion and respect.

Lyle clasped his hands to his chest, fell into deep thought, and muttered, "It's just that if you accept death...... It is not necessarily that there is no way to save the country. ”

》》》》》》》

A week later, Friti, who had declined Lyle's help and had completed Serzeveld's final orders on her own, managed to break through the Temple of Winter, challenging the monsters that the original Guardian had turned into to wield the power of ice.

But—

"Damn!" It's not so much that the enemy is too strong? It's better to say that her sword is confused.

Don't defeat the enemy in front of you? Selzewed will remain in a painfully weakened state.

Defeat the enemy in front of you? Selzeveld will die shortly.

I thought I had already come to my senses, but I hesitated at the end......

"What?!" And just as she was parrying the icicle with her shield, an indescribable voice suddenly sounded in her head? Frightened, she hurriedly distanced herself with phantom shifting.

What if I become a Guardian? You can't save Sear-chan, right?

Well, it doesn't matter.

Although it would be a little lonely to never see everyone anymore, but if I can help Sear-chan......

No? I can't say goodbye like this...... If Sear-chan finds out, she'll stop me.

Must be fast? Everything will be fine.

By then, I'm ...... When I wake up one day, I'll be sure to fly in the sky with a healthy Sel-chan......

Under this blue sky? Two people together.

So, I'll leave it to you. 】

- This is the voice of amber.

[If this continues, Serzer won't be saved, right?

Would Serzer be better off if I used this ancient magic?

…… Is it? I know.

One last thing, please tell me...... Was I chosen as a Guardian because I was her best friend?

……………… Is it?

No, don't tell her anything, she'll probably be very sad if she knew that I disappeared for her.

I just slept for a while.

Don't worry, I'm used to waiting, just think of it as if it were a little longer fishing.

By the way, it would be nice to be able to go fishing with her in the new world I woke up to.

Selzer pleases you...... That guy is a lot more fragile inside than he looks. 】

- This is the voice of Dilas.

[I told my mom and dad, but I ...... to Serzer I can't open my mouth......

However, I have no regrets...... After using ancient magic, I will become one with the earth.

Pico ...... This magic can only be used by living people, ghosts can't, so it has to be me.

Don't be so sad, becoming a guardian does not mean death, just saying goodbye to the people of this era...... At this point, I don't want to regret the choice I made.

Farewell, Pico...... Please take care of Mom and Dad on my behalf. 】

- This is the voice of Do'er Jie.

[You are the genius wizard of the 'Asmayth'?

Ah, sorry, but I should have introduced myself before I asked—I'm Leon, and I'm here to ask if there's a way to keep the dying Wind Phantom Dragon alive?

Is there really one!? Let my body merge with the earth, and continue to channel the power of nature to her......

If this can save Serze, I don't have any problems, I haven't thought about sacrificing or anything, after all, I am a dragon priest, and it is my duty to protect her, and it can be regarded as repaying her for protecting our clan for many years.

Alas~ I was also working when I was sleeping, how diligent I was.

Unfinished business? It's a mountain of piles, especially after the guy fell ill, so I don't have any time to spare.

Also, I didn't save that guy because of boring job duties, but she was raised by me, and she was not so much someone who had to be guarded as a friend or relative, so ...... Please, Asmail. 】

- This is the voice of Leon, who still hasn't lifted the seal.

And then.

Fonti finally got it.

The reason why Lord Selzeveld ended his life.

If her life had been built on the sacrifice of such a good friend, she estimated that she would not have lived a happy day.

Thereupon.

"Blade Storm ——!!!" The Guardian Knight, smashing through the ice that fires from all directions.
