Hinori.

Virum couldn't hide the fact that Hinori, a spirit beast that controlled one of the four major attributes, fire, was bound so easily, and he couldn't hide the fact that he was not the least bit upset.

(Hinori sister was easily captured! What the hell is this guy...?)

Virum jumps the alert level to Julius, who has activated magic enough to restrain the spirit beast (Hinori) without even chanting.

(No, rather than that, we have to save Hinori sister first. If it's restraint magic, if you tap into a large amount of magic power...?)

Vilm is about to change his mind and rush to Hinori's captive, but then Julius interrupts him.

It's a 'Spiritual Bind'. It's a restraining spell that specializes in the prevention of spirits. By the way, this is my original magic. It's not surprising that a high-level spirit would be unconscious and lying on the floor, but that's just the spirit animal.

'Tsk! Get out of my way!

Thinking it's useless to negotiate with someone who's already an adversary, Vilm tries to attack even more fiercely than before, but after all, Julius's ability seems to be genuine, and he can't get past him.

They strike, receive, evade and combine.

I'm sorry, but I can't let him go because that's what my employer wanted. You'll have to stay with me until he gets what he wants, okay? Mr. Wyrm.

f*ck you!

It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get past Julius, but Julius doesn't seem to have much time to spare either, and his breathing is starting to become more noticeable.










It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

''It looks like you really can't move. When Julius approached me about it, I was skeptical, but it's quite useful, isn't it?

Convinced that Hinori can't move, Baird speaks to her with a relaxed expression.

''...!''

Meanwhile, Hinori, who was being restrained, stared at Bailudo while enduring the agony of being constricted.

Bailudo, who had been watching the scene with satisfaction, came even closer with a sickening smile on his face.

''Kufufufu! Now you're stuck. Your contractor, who is an obstacle to you, can't come over here. I'm going to give up and become my property.

"Do not play with me, human. There is only one master, Wyrm.

Oh, dear, you've been rejected. But I want you by any means necessary. By any means necessary, you know?

Saying that, Bailudo took out from his pocket a ring-shaped object that emits a dull silver light.

Hinori, who sensed its true identity, frowns bitterly.

''That, is...!''

You're a spirit animal. It looks like you know what this is. Just as you think, this is the so-called "Reiban no Jugo Ring", a legacy of the ancient magical civilization, so to speak, a magical tool.

Perhaps pleased with Hinori's reaction, Baird held up the magic tool he took out to show it to her and began to talk about it proudly.

'As the name implies, it is a magic tool that can bind and make spirit or spirit organisms...ghost-type demons and you and your spirits obey it. The substance it is composed of and the method of production cannot be understood by us now, but its effect is immense. Even Sandra, an advanced spirit, was powerless in front of this magical tool. If I bind you with this and sign a contract in my favor....

Bailudo smiles with a twisted smile that gives me goosebumps all over my body.

'Hinori-chan, you're mine.










Seeing Bailudo slowly approaching Hinori, Virum's impatience to break through Julius still increases.

Furthermore, when Virum saw what Bailudo took out, he had a hunch that it was something that would be harmful to Hinori.

(I don't know what that was, but since he brought it out at this stage of the game, I don't think it's a harmless thing. If I can get to Hinori sister, I can do whatever I want, but it's hard to break through this guy (Julius) right away).

Their feet were creaking underneath them.

It's hard work, isn't it? Quickly, or else they'll take your spirit animal, okay? Wyrm, dear.

Although he sounds like he's struggling to breathe, Julius has his mouth hanging up as if he's enjoying the situation.

(...It can't be helped, right?)

In contrast, Virum didn't feel the impatience he had felt earlier.

With his eyes closed, it looked as if he had made up his mind.










''Kufufufu! Come on, Hinori. Let's make you mine.

"Who the hell are you to...

Hinori manages to break the restraints on Bailudo, who approaches him to put on the "Spirit Binding Conjuring Ring."

(I didn't expect to see the magic tools of the magic civilization era. There are many powerful magical tools from that era, and even I don't know what will happen to them.)

However, Hinori began to feel threatened by the restraints and her own situation, which showed no signs of being released.

(...I'm not kidding about following anyone but Virum. If it comes to this, let's resist until that magic tool breaks!)

Perhaps to enjoy Hinori's reaction, she slowly glares at Bailudo, who is approaching at a slow speed, like a slug.

("Hinori sister, can you hear me?")

The voice of the world's most beloved brother reached Hinori's head.

('I can hear you, Virum. This might be a little bit bad. It doesn't look like you could come over here... to...')

Although he knows that Virum is also struggling, Hinori doesn't force himself on him because he can't stand to be obeyed by anyone other than his beloved brother.

The weak words of his always aloof and cheerful sister, Virum was convinced that he couldn't afford it at the earliest.

("As I thought, huh? There is no time to think about a strategy. Hinori-sister, a(-)re, I'll do it.")

Vilm briefly suggests a way out of this situation.

("Ahhhh, a(re)le? I guess it can't be helped in this situation. But sis, it might be a little embarrassing.'')

Hinori seemed to have an idea of how to do it too.

It couldn't be helped, he was embarrassed, but a happy color came across Hinori's face as he turned over.










Although Virum had his eyes closed even though he was in the middle of teaming up with Julius, his powerful and skillful movements were not things that made you feel a visual disadvantage.

Rather, Julius felt that it was more troublesome than earlier, when he was in a hurry to attack in a hurry.

(Hmm~, you suddenly became calm. But it's not like I've given up. This... I have a feeling it's going to be a bit of fun.)

But Julius was nowhere near swaying, or looking at Virum with expectant eyes.

Virum seemed to be meditating, but as soon as his eyes widened, he shook his hands off of Julius and unclasped them, taking a huge leap backwards and away from him.

Julius' goal was to keep Virum from going to Bailudo.

Perhaps that's why he doesn't seem to be making any offensive moves of his own.

Even though Vilm was wary of Julius's movements, he took a deep breath, regulated his disordered breath, and even after summoning the spirit beast (Hinori), he still began to spin the excess magic power.





Oh, my God... -Lord of the red flame heavens... -Lord of the red flame heavens...





The same clear Vilm's voice as when he summoned Hinori earlier echoed through the space invaded by the darkness.

''Oops, are you trying to summon another spirit? It's hard to give up being an abomination, isn't it?

Hearing Vilm's voice, Bailudo shows his dismay with an exaggerated movement.





I(I), I(I), seek thee(Nandi) exist...





Vilm must have heard Bailudo's voice as well, but he didn't respond as if he didn't hear it.

It's also a good idea to make sure that you have a good idea of what you're looking for.





The woman's soul and my body are the soul, and I am the body.





Julius, it's okay. I'll arrest the genie that it summons...

Just as Bailudo was about to give Julius instructions, Hinori's body, which had been restrained and unable to move because of the restraints, begins to glow with a shimmering red light.

''Wha, what! What the hell?

Bailudo is disconcerted by the change that has appeared in the spirit animal (Hinori) and not in the Virum.





You must not be condemned.





Wrapped in crimson light, Hinori's body became a beautiful, fierce, fantastic flame, burning fiercely as if to express her feelings for Vilm.

Then, Virum summoned his beloved sister.





''Advent Fusion (Advent Fusion) ''





Of himself, inside his soul.

Hinori, who had become a flame, was sucked into Virum's body in response to the voice that called him out to himself.

At the same time, a change occurs in Virum's body.

The flickering flames enveloped his extremities as if they were protective armor for Virum, and as if they were living creatures.

From his back, wings reminiscent of a bird of prey, red and sharp, so sharp that they can cover his entire body, appear, and they spread out wide, as if to show his presence to those around him.

The black hair that was the proof of an abomination had turned a reddish color that could be mistaken for a scorching flame, and the black eyes had been transformed into bright crimson eyes.

Virum, whose figure seemed to have inherited Hinori's physical features, clenched his fists with a powerful grip.
