After fusing with Hinori, Virum, who was clad in a fantastic flame, looked at Julius and Bailudo.

In his crimson eyes, which are reminiscent of beautiful jewels (rubies), I could feel a clear intention to never forgive the enemy who had harmed his precious family.

While Julius seemed somewhat happy while sweat was on his forehead, Beirut was intensely upset.

''I didn't expect you to have such a hidden gem. I couldn't have predicted this one, as expected.

'Oh, it can't be! You're going to fuse with a spirit animal? It's a bit insane, isn't it! I was so close... so close to being mine!

At the same time, Virum's face instantly changed to an angry expression and wild flames erupted from his body in response to his emotions.

It's not just that you're treating Hinori sister as an object after harming my precious family. You've got to be kidding me. You're ready for this, aren't you, huh?

'Hee! Julius, Julius! Do something about him! We have to do something!

Bailudo, who was directly hit by Wyrm's almost demonic anger, was completely frightened by the overwhelming sense of intimidation.

''If you are fused with a spirit beast...[Spiritual Bind]!

On the other hand, Julius doesn't seem to have any intention of giving up just yet, and immediately unleashes a restraining spell at Virum.

However, the magic that easily restrained the spirit beast (Hinori) as well as the spirit beast (Hinori) was easily dissipated with a popping sound the moment it touched Virum.

''It's useless. Even though she fused with Hinori-sister (spirit beast), her base is still a|human (me). That restraining magic that specializes in spirits doesn't work.

Oh, my God, you're killing me.

You are useless! d*mn it! Come on out, Sandra!

Bailudo yells impatiently at Julius, who is scratching his cheek with his fingers, as if a little troubled by the fact that the restraint magic didn't work on Vyrm, and calls out his own contracted spirit (Sandra).

Sandra appears at Bailudo's side, and she still looks as frightened as ever by something with her face down.

But Bailudo doesn't care about Sandra's condition, he just shouts at her.

''Sandra! Stall him, even if it kills you! That will buy me time to escape!

Sandra's body tensed up for a moment and then began to shake and shake.

"Don't worry. If I get away with it, then there will be no more experiments for a while from today.

I am...

As if he heard the reply in a voice that was about to fade away, Bailudo immediately turned on his heel and started running towards the door.

As soon as possible, Bailudo's mind has no plan for capturing Hinori or the margin he had earlier, but only how he can survive.

When I glanced behind me, I saw Virum, who hadn't moved from his earlier position, and Julius and Sandra, who were confronting him.

(Alright! Keep it up and keep the abomination's attention!)

The moment Bailudo, with his fists clenched inwardly, reached the door and touched his red(-)-taking hand(-) to escape from the King's Chamber.............

'Oh? Aaaaah!

The sound and smell of burning skin and flesh begins to waft around them with Bailord's screams echoing.

As soon as Bailudo begins to flee, Wyrm heats up the handle that he will surely touch from the outside.

Using Hinori's ability to control the flames (chikara).

''Did you think you were going to let him escape?''

If Bailudo turns around at the sound of his voice, before he knows it, the figure of Virum, who has moved to the back of it and is looking down at himself (Bailudo), who is cowering in heat and pain.

''Hee! Julius, Julius! Sandra! What are you doing! Quickly save me!

Bailudo hurriedly asks Julius and Sandra for help, but the scene there is completely different from what he was expecting.

This completes the breaking of the contract. Oh, Bailudo, I promised you that. I'll take Sandra.

The words that Julius, who held Sandra, who must have fainted, in his arms, said with a nonchalant expression on his face, Baird's eyes widened and revealed his surprise.

''Huh? Hey, hey, Julius! I haven't agreed to this! The only way you would have given Sandra away would have been if you'd gotten your hands on a spirit animal! In fact, you can't just break a contract like that unilaterally.

You can do that, you know. It's a very good idea to use more magic than you used when you signed the contract, as long as one of the people who made the contract wants to break it and uses more magic than you used when you made the contract. In fact, the connection with Sandra has already been severed, right?

Apparently, the contract with Sandra has really been broken, and Bailudo's expression gradually turns pale.

''Oh, no, no way... Yu, Julius, are you betraying me?

'I'm not going to betray you or anything. I bought you all that time and you're the one who screwed it up. I'm just going to take Sandra as my fair share of the reward for all my hard work. Besides, did you forget that you were the one who tried to stone us first?

Virum's right hand is placed on Bailudo's head as he sits down to collapse in despair after losing Sandra and being given up on by Julius, who had hired him.

'Are we done talking?'

Bailudo's whole body stood on end in a voice that contained a cold, but distinctly angry tone.

''Hee! Wait! Wait!

As it is, Vilm grabbed Bailudo's head and lifted it up, pouring his own magic power into it without hesitation, creating super hot flames from complete nothingness.

''I'll burn you to ashes and leave no ashes behind. You will die regretting everything you did to Sandra, how you messed with my people, and how you treated sister Hinori like an object.

As soon as Wyrm finished his words, the flames that were floating around him rushed to Bailudo as if it were a creature with a will.

''Ya, stop ━━━━━━━━━━!!!!

Just as Vilm declared, Bailudo, engulfed in flames, disappeared from the world, unable to even speak, without leaving even a shred of his existence behind.





Without being particularly concerned about Bailudo's death, Virum turned to Julius, who was holding Sandra in his arms.

I don't know what kind of a promise you made to that man, but shall you let the child (Sandra) go? The child (Sandra) should be free to live.

''No, no, this is the girl (Sandra) I'm here for this time. Wyrm-kun entertained me, but I can't ask him to do that request.

The fusion with Hinori should have created a decisive difference in ability between Julius and Virum, but his expression still hasn't crumbled.

Is he being furtive or is he still hiding his abilities?

''I see. Then...

However, it seems that Virum already has no intention of playing games with Julius.

Countless flames in the shape of bird feathers, the same as the 'Blaze Feathers' used by Hinori before, attacked Julius without pause.

''Wato! Crap! Hey, Mr. Virum! I don't care what happens to Sandra and the people trapped in this place!

Rest assured. This fire will do what I want it to do, and it will only burn what I want it to burn. Worry about yourself instead of the people around you.

The flame feather changed its movement as if to affirm Virum's words, and began to take a trajectory to hunt down Julius.

Julius is gradually becoming unable to avoid the flame feather as it flies around to crush its escape.

When he barely avoided the Flame Feather that was coming at him with an irregular activation, Julius lost his stance significantly.

As if he was waiting for it, Virum, who is in a striking stance, appears behind Julius.

''Kah-ha-ha!''

A painful blow to the back with a fist covered in flames.

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

I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to get it right.

The pain of the blows and burns distorted his expression, and though he was coughing violently, Julius was trying to control his disordered breathing, and Virum was trying to give chase to him.

And just as Virum's fist shot was about to catch Julius, a little girl who had appeared before he knew it was there was standing in front of him.

''Yuri, don't tease me, no!''

Surprised by the girl who suddenly appeared from outside his own perception, Virum quickly dropped backwards and was alarmed.

(That girl is... a spirit, right?)

Judging from her appearance, she would be around ten years old.

Her long, lightly wavy hair is a darkish purple color, which further accentuates her clear, white skin.

It's not an exaggeration to say that she's a beautiful girl, but something wriggling around her is waiting to be seen, which makes the gap between the two even more eerie, and at the same time tells us that she's not human.

It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with them.

''Yuri, I'm here to welcome you~''

Yomi, nice timing. You're a lifesaver.

Julius holding Sandra could not receive the girl, but she hugged him around his waist and looked pleased with that alone.

'Ehehe~. Yomi, great? What's the deal with Yuri?

Yeah. Thanks again, Yomi. Now that you've got a new friend (Sandra), it's time to pull up.

"Oh, my new friend. Yomi, I'll do my best. Blind Mist.

The black mist that flooded out of the girl Julius had called Yomi quickly spread out and enveloped the king's chamber in the blink of an eye.

'You will not escape!'

Virum reacted instantly and released flames from his entire body with great vigor.

He intends to blow away the black fog with the blast that is generated.

Julius and the others take advantage of the slight time lag to jump out of the window and descend the wall with a nimble gait.

When they landed, Julius caught sight of a flying dragon that was an order of magnitude larger than a normal flying dragon, High Sierra.

Meldina and Miserio must have just joined Heishela and rushed over.

''Hmmm? We can't afford not to take advantage of this.

Meldina and the others seem to be distracted by the black fog and spewing flames that envelop the King's Chamber, and they don't seem to have noticed Julius and the others yet.

Then Vilm, blown away by the black fog, jumps out of the window.

It flew into the sky with great force and quickly looked around, and Vilm recognized Julius and the others and High Sheera and the others.

''Haishera! Take Meldina and the others and get out of here now!

'What? That voice... is it Ville, by any chance?

"What happened to Wilm, the hanyou that looks like a hinoline?

"Krua? Kruaaan!'

The two of them and one of them are confused by Wyrm's change, but as soon as Heishela understands that her master (Wyrm) has ordered her to do so, she begins to flip and move away.

'Yomi?'

"Ryo kaai~ Nai-chan, mea-chan, please.

But it was too late, apparently.

When Yomi pointed at Heishela, the objects that were samurai around her split into two and headed up into the sky to follow her instructions.

The speed of the two objects is tremendous, and even with High Sierra's speed, it looks like they will soon be overtaken.

''Tch!''

Virum instantly realized the purpose of Julius and the others, but he didn't take the option of abandoning Meldina and the others, but instead let his body split in front of them and the attacks that were unleashed on them.

''What?!''

Gawd!

"Wah-wah!

Before they knew it, Meldina and the others were startled by the marvel that was looming behind them, but it had already been received by Virum.

The wriggling object released from the Yomi reached out and tried to grab them like a living thing, but ━━

Blazing Detonation. Blazing Detonation.

At that moment, small explosions were triggered one after another around the two wriggling objects, as if a chain reaction had been triggered.

It takes only a few seconds, but the number of explosions that occurred must have exceeded a hundred.

When the smoke of the explosions cleared, the two objects at the center of the explosions had been obliterated without a trace, just as Virum had said.

Once the wonders were gone, Virum was once again looking for Julius and the others, but his presence was undetectable.

''...I can't feel any sign or magic power. Escaped, huh?

(I don't have enough time to look for it now. So far...)

Yes, I looked up at the sky in frustration.





















In the grasslands some distance from the Humane Kingdom.

They seemed to have plenty of time to spare, or maybe they were just barely able to escape from the Hinori and the fused Virum, and the atmosphere was clearly relaxed.

Yomi, who was following Julius with Totete, nodded at some kind of stirring object behind him.

''Yes. Yuri, Nai and Mea-chan, they said they were hit.''

I see. I'm sorry I hurt you, even if it was just to get away, okay?

"....I told them both not to worry about it.

Yes, thank you.

At Julius's words of thanks, the wriggling object behind Yomi moved to nod.

In fact, if it wasn't for that stall, it wouldn't have been able to escape from Virum.

''Hmm~?''

What's going on? Yomi.

Julius, who suddenly noticed Yomi looking up at him with her head tilted back, asks her.

''Hmm~. Yuri, do you look kind of happy?''

'Oh dear, you found out. Wyrm, you were even more interesting than I thought you would be. Besides, did I mention descent fusion (advent fusion)? That's very interesting. I never thought I'd be able to merge with a spirit. Yomi, do you want to try it out on us when you get home?

Julius, who has been able to tell Yomi what he's feeling inside, reveals his feelings without hiding them.

''Yuugou...gutai...yuri no echi.''

"...what the hell did Yomi imagine?

Julius returns with a slightly dumbfounded expression, momentarily speechless at Yomi's oblique statement.

A strong wind blows through the calm grassland and the hood Julius was wearing flips up.

''Oops... I guess I was a little distracted.

Her long black hair, lightly tied back, was fluttering in the wind.
