In the meadow, where there are still a few light particles, Nosfi asks the question.

'If you are, Lord ....... Are you going to leave me behind?　I'm your best friend, aren't we?　You promised you would fall with me, didn't you?　You said we would live as children together, right?　You're not going to be the only one to act like an adult and be understanding, are you?

　He must have been aware of the situation, if only faintly.
　It's a good thing that you're able to get the most out of this article.

'...... Nosfi, I'm sorry. I decided to go back to my brother. And then he tells that guy that he didn't want to be king. --And then he tells that guy that he didn't want to be king. It's over. It's all over. The boy has remembered that he doesn't need anything else.

　Nosfi stops at that clear response.
　Then he turns his face down and asks for one more look.

'Do you have ...... any regrets about that choice?'
Yes. Because now the child goes to clear his regret: ......

　Nosfi covered his face with his hands as he heard the answer he had anticipated.

'Oh, ahhh, ahhh ......!　I knew it. The Lord has abandoned me, hasn't he? After all, we are the people of the 'north' and the 'south'. We'll never be friends: ......
No, that's not it, Nosfi!　The boy loves you as a friend!　I can't live up to the expectation of living with you, but I still consider you my friend!

　Seeing Nosfi looking heartbroken, Titi lets go of my hand and takes a step forward.

'Then!　If you say you love me, then you'll be unhappy with me!　　Suffer with me more!　Please, Lord!　I don't want to be alone!　I thought we were friends!

　Nosfi looked up.
　Then he turns his twin eyes, full of tears, to Titi and pleads with her.

　The uncanny tears caused Titi to stiffen.
　But after a little hesitation, she clearly shook her head.　

'It is not possible to do that ....... The child must go to the id and shake off the 'past'. Not long ago, Nosfi said that he would look forward and live as he did - that's what he decided to do.
Oh, no, that's terrible!　The Lord told me to stay 'here' with you the whole time, and you're going to break that promise from the Lord: ......!
I'm sorry. I am sorry. But on earth, the Aide's is the same as the child. That's why the child has a mission to save her sister: ......!　So--!
'Because she's my sister, ......!　What's the blood connection!　What use is that to you!　It's worthless, it means nothing!　There is no relationship!
'Separately, I'm not blood related to Aydo ....... Nevertheless, the children and the aide are family. Because they are family ......, I must go see them .......
'Why?　What is so important about your family!　Now your friends are here crying, and you say your family is more loving than you!　It's just a mistake!　I'm losing my mind!　Why don't you understand that!
...... The child now can only apologize to you. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get to the id, now that you've said goodbye to Vyssia ....... I know that this is a cowardly thing to say. Nevertheless, the current child wishes if possible for Nosfi to live forward as well: ......
That's terrible. ......!　As much as I love the Lord this much, he doesn't love me: ......!　Ugh, ugh. ......!

　After a long argument, Nosfi covered her face with her hands and broke down in tears.
　No more would Titi stay in the labyrinth. Never again would he be able to shake that resolve. There was no doubt about it.
　But Titi was not a ruthless girl who could cut off a crying Nosophy. She is fumbling and scowling, worried about her friend.

　Titi continues to be troubled, and Nosphy continues to cry - and me and Ryner continue to watch over them both with our guard up, ready to fight.

　And after a few dozen seconds of this, Nosfi's crying suddenly stopped.
　As if it was a lie that she had been crying just now - no, it was probably in fact false crying - Nosufi stood up easily.

''-- Oh (...). Looks like it's no good now.

　Oh, I knew it.
　I regrip my sword and refocus my strength so that I can fight at any time. It was the same for Ryner on the other side.

''Then I guess this is goodbye.
No, Nosfies ......?

　Titty's confusion grows as Nosfi smiles and says goodbye to him.
　But Nosphy ignores his friend's confusion. No, maybe Nosphy thinks that they are not friends anymore.

'I seriously thought you were my only friend in the world, Lord. I thought you would make a mistake with me. ...... Hmmm, you're my brother? No one and he is all family family family. Oh, it's silly ......, ah, it's really sloppy. Hmmm, hmmm.
What are you talking about, Nosfi?
After all, there's only Uzumi-sama for me. There's nothing but Uzumi-sama, isn't there? Hmph, hmph.

　He seemed to have completely lost interest in Titty already.
　His gaze was only on me.

'Nosfi, you ......'

　Feeling what resides behind her twin eyes, I break out in a cold sweat.

''You're very good at that, Uzuraha-sama. Unlike Lord, Uzunami-sama seems to know what he's talking about. Yes, even if it's three against one, I still won't give up on you.　Because it's such an interesting space where the past lasts for tens of thousands of years, it's such a waste that it's impossible to throw it away so easily!　No, you can't!　Hmph!

　With those words, the glow of the flag light in Nosfi's hand increased.
　It was proof that there was enough magic left to fight, and that one person was enough.

''Under these circumstances, are you really going to do it ......?''
'Yes, of course!　Because once again, if you break Lord's heart, that backside space will come back to life!　You made it that way!　We can still do it!　Any number of things!　Hmph, hmph--!

　I can't stop the sweat from dripping down my forehead.
　I know.
　Nosfi is smiling - but what's behind it is the exact opposite. I can sense it, and I almost feel my legs slump in fear.

　But Titi, who doesn't know what's going on inside Nosfi's mind, still refuses to give up on persuasion.

'Both of you must wait!　We need to talk more together!　If you couldn't do it then, you can do it now!　We must not repeat it!
Hmmmmm. Lord, I've been betrayed, but I'm grateful!　After all, thanks to you and Uzumi-sama, I'm finally honest with you!　I've noticed!　I've been such a dirty person--!
No, Nosfies: ......

　But there was no more conversation to be had.
　Just a few minutes ago, even the crazy Lord was able to catch up on words. And yet, this girl who is laughing in front of me is sane but unable to have a conversation.
　Just because we have different values, it's creating a deeper rift between us than the madness.
　Titi was speechless as she realized the anomaly.

　Nosfi leaves Titi in shock and continues to speak. She spins words incessantly like a machine gun, probably because of her excitement.

''It makes me laugh that such a wretch is a saint. Hmph, 'the one who steals the reason for light'?　The 'Darkness Reason' had been taken by Rands first, so he was just given a surplus. I thought it was strange. I've always thought it was strange before I was born. Yes, it was strange, strange, strange. There's something wrong with me, with the world, with everything...!

　I was slow to notice because of Nosfi's perfect poker face, but now I'm sure of it.
　Behind this perfect smile of hers is 'anger'.
　She's laughing, and she's angry from the bottom of her heart.
　Before I knew it, Titi must have stepped through the land mines of Nosfi's heart. That murderous light eroded the sixty-six layers of grass.

''Because my light is so dusky .......
　It's a black, black, dirty light ......

　Black and mouth.
　At that moment, Nosfy's light swelled as if it would explode.
　And the light turned from white to black.

　The light was black and dark - but it shone.
　It was a fantastic and decadent flash of light that was dark and yet bright, a contradiction in terms.

　The light is unsettling to the viewer's mind.
　The contradictory scene makes the brain unable to accept the world.
　Most of all, it is frightening to feel the emotions of the owner of the light from that black light.

　It is anger - and hatred.
　With that jet-black light containing that fierce hatred, Nosfi is staring at me.

'Nosfi, do you hate me this much ......?　So much more: ......

　I knew right away that all of this was directed at me.
　Even the frustration that Nosfi felt about the Lord is now directed only at me.

　But Nosfi denies it.
　Smiling, he rolls his eyes and insists that he is out of his mind.

''Hmph, hmph. That's not true, Uzurinami-sama. I love you, I love you. Even if Uzumi-sama kills me and I die, it won't change that!　Eh, it didn't change!　Because pure thoughts are constant!　I won't let Lord or Master Uzumi escape from that unchanging 'past'!　Let's live happily together for ten thousand years or so - in a world that has never changed, suffering senselessly and madly, without a care in the world!　I'm sure he'll make you suffer so much that you can go crazy as often as you want!　Hmmm, it's very tantalizing!
............!

　Nosfi tried to explain the completely incomprehensible pleasure and get approval from me.
　But, of course, I couldn't nod my head in agreement, and I couldn't help but be immensely disappointed.

　Next, Nosfi begins to emit a red-black mist from his body.
　I had seen it before.
　It's the same magic that Rastiara and Snow were using.

　As I recall, the attribute of that magic was--.

"--Fresh blood magic (・・・・)

　Fresh blood magic.
　Once, that magic brought Snow closer to a dragon and Rustyala closer to a great man.

　With the activation of that magic, the color of Nosfi's chestnut-colored hair changed.
　Like the clothes it wears, it turns darker and darker, just like the light around it.

''That magic is ......!

　One of the magic names that Nosfi mentioned was mine and my sister's name.
　And just as the name suggests, the figure approaches us.

　It became black hair and black eyes, and the dimensional and freezing attributes began to mix in the magic power that erupted.

''Hmph, Uzumi-sama, Uzumi-sama, Uzumi-sama......!　Uzumi-sama aaaa--!

　Then, Nosfi pounced on me, who was astonished.
　That step was as fast as if space had shrunk, and the flash of that flag was so sharp that I could feel the tenjin. I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what to expect when I see it.

''Ka, Kanamin, are you alright!

　There was a dull thud as flags and bayonets clashed with each other.
　The Lord stepped in between them and prevented the attack.

'Ah, ah, thank goodness ......!

　Relieved that I have a reassuring ally, I regrip my 'Crescent Pectrazi's Straight Sword'.
　Just seeing that scene, Nosfi's face was twisted like never before.

''Aaaaaaah......, ah, ah, ah--!　Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, whoa!　After all, you have taken my Lord Kanami away from me again!　You've always been that way!　It's a thieving cat!

　The smile that had stuck to Nosfi's face disintegrated, probably due to the fact that he had entered the battle. He yelled at Lord with a look that was appropriate for his age and appropriate for his emotions.

You can't take it, Nosfi!　If that swing just now hits Kanamin, you'll die!
'What nonsense!　It's that Master Uzumi!　You can't die!　This is an important confirmation for me and Master Uzumi!　Would you please get out of the way of unrelated loads!

　Nosfi doesn't stop and raises that flag again.
　He waved it at Titi again and again, as if he wanted to smash everything in his way.

'Guh, ugh, the power--!

　Titi's face contorted and received the onslaught.
　Although the two of them were the same guardians (guardians), the amount of magic power was clearly different.
　Titi, who had been forsaken by everyone else, was becoming less and less present as she resolved half of her undead.
　As a result, the difference in the total amount of remaining unrequitedness has become a difference in power as it is, and Titi is about to be pushed down.

　Feeling that Titi is in danger at this point, Ryner and I run out to interrupt the stormy exchange of blows.
　After confirming this, Nosfi broke down Titi's defenses and then fired a spinning kick at her.
　Titty managed to defend the kick with the base of her bayonet, but her body was blown straight up.

''--『Light Arrow Breunak!

　In addition, Nosfi's divine speed magic was used to chase after it.
　It was too thick to call it an arrow of light. A spear of light like a large tree was generated in the air and with a terrifying acceleration, it attacked the titty in the sky.

　However, that 《Light Arrow Breunak》 could not reach Titi.
　A dull-colored wall intervened between them.

''Wha, you saved the child--?

　With a sharp movement, the one in between was the too huge wind dragon Elfenries, which flew through sixty-six layers.
The 'Steal of Light's Reason''s all-out strike pierced through the dragon's hard abdomen and went through to its back. But that was as far as it went. Even though Elfenries spilled blood like a waterfall, he used his strong muscles to stave off the spear of light and protect Titi.
　Then, Elfenries moaned as he endured the pain.
　Hearing her voice, Titi manipulated the wind and landed on the dragon's back.

'Uh-uh, okay!　I finally remembered something!　I knew you were--!

　With the Elfenries on board, it was impossible for Titi to pursue him.
　Nosfi stared at it evasively.

''There's another interruption--!
Don't forget me, Nosfi!　I'm on the edge of my magic, but I can still fight!

　Then Ryner attacked him.

Rainer, take it easy!

　From the other side of it, I too swung my sword.
　But Nosfi broke the light flag and split it in two, preventing attacks from both directions.

''Helvirshine, you're in the way too!　Go away!　It's very uncomfortable, you know!　--I am the light of the world, and the hope of all mankind is my form!　--Dimensional Decisive Operations (Gradiate), Dimensional Sunlight (Di Faker)!

　The light spilling out of Nosfy increases.
　And the sharpness of the movement that I thought was the limit increases even more, and the two halves of the flag are waved like twin swords.
　Even though it takes two people with Reiner, it's as if there's no gap. Rather than finding a breakthrough, the two of them are going to be killed together.

''--Wind Arrow-oh!

　Then, from the Elfenries above, Titi's covering fire is released.
　A few wind arrows flew precisely and fast, aiming only at Nosfi.
　But even that, Nosfi twisted and dodged it perfectly. I know this because I've been using it myself, and I can tell you that the Dimension Decisive Operation (Gradiate) is very strong against long-range attacks.
　At this rate, it would be difficult to defeat Nosfy.
　Oh, Nosfi is really strong. The One Who Steals the Reason for Light is strong.

　But that much - I already know that much - I already know that.

''Ryner, step away for a moment!

　It's not me and it's not Rainer who needs to win against the Truth of Light.

'Leave this to me!　I'd rather have a titty, please!　'Here' is where you'll be strong as far as you can go with your one day liner!　Make that guy realize that!

　--Titi.

　It's still her world, this prairie, and it's still her world.
　As long as she fights in here, Titty is the strongest.

"...... Aah!　So that's what it is!

　Ryner understood the meaning of this and immediately stopped his pincers against Nosfy and took a large distance.

'--......?　Huh. Finally, you're ready to fight alone!　Uzumi-sama!

　Nosfi nodded his head at the story that could only be understood between me and Ryner.
　But he immediately looks only at me and laughs. One-on-one is probably what he wants. Ryner leaves it alone and gets even more excited as he ramps up his attack.

'I'm sorry, but I have no intention of doing that!　"Dimension Decisive Operation (Graduation)--!

　His eyes are no longer catching up to that twin-sword-like flag attack.
　I'm almost using only 'sensitivity' to deal with it.
　In addition, I'm cutting down my strength to the limit of the limit - just before a single digit of HP, and building magic to withstand Nosfy's attack.
　Even so, the situation is still unfavorable. His body swims with impact as the weapons strike together. Blood gushes out of the wounds, and I feel like I'm going to lose consciousness.

　However, I know I have to fight here if I want to reach the world of victory that I could see with my magic Dimension Graduate "Realize".

　And before the antagonism between me and Nosfy's battle is broken, Ryner joins Lord.

'Lord!　I'm gonna take it to the next level!　You can't do anything in that thin state!
''Le, "Magic Power Transformation (Level Up)" ......?　But since that day, the body of a child--
'Don't you get it?　Everything in here wants to help you!　She wants to be saved!　Just do it!
Mi, everyone else is at ......?

　As Elfenries flew low, Ryner was also on the dragon's back.
　At the same time, the chanting begins.
　It's a familiar chant, a must for labyrinth exploration.
　It is now addressed to Titi, the guardian of the labyrinth.

"'Thou shalt scrape and reflect!　'The brilliance of that light', 'Know the fleeting twinkling of life' -!
'Everyone's magic is ......?　E, Elfenries, you're also ......?

　Sixty-six layers of grassland are floating particles of light.
　It's the residue of the magical power that made up everyone who disappeared.
　There is no longer a soul. There is no such thing as consciousness.

　But all of it had been absorbed by Titi's body.

　The answer to Titi's doubts about this impossible miracle was the Wind Dragon Elfenries. It nodded with its large head (koobe) and told her that the magic power leaking from the wound in its abdomen was Titi's.

''-- 'It is in me and it is in you!　"It's time to grow up and overcome the past!　"Not in blood, but in spirit!　That's right, Lord!　--Holy Magic, Magic Power Transformation (Level Up)!

　All the lights converge in time to the 'chanting'.
　The power of over ten thousand people gather in Titi. It's the same with the Elfenries I'm riding now, and like an unraveling weave, the wind dragon disappears. But I could see in the dragon's eyes that this was its true intention. Even I, who don't understand the language, understood.

　After all, the 'back' and 'front' of 'here' were all spaces prepared for Titi.

　With the help of all of them, Titty would 'level up'.

''Everyone's power!　Feel free to use it!　--And Reiner!　Titi, not Lord!　"It's Titi here!

　Just before the foothold, Elfenries, disappeared, Titi jumped down.
　Following that, Ryner hurriedly jumps down as well.

　While falling with an eye on me and Nosfi, the two of us begin building magic.
　That's the uncertainty that arises because it's not a one-on-one battlefield.
　It's a phenomenon that occurs because we're all fighting together.

'Let's go as a trinity, Ryner!　Match it up with the children!
'Oh!　I'm going to do what I learned from Titi, I'm going to do it!

　The magic power of the wind leaking from their falling bodies mingles with each other.
　We call each other names, breathe together, and work together on the magic construction.
　The magic is not just added to the magic. It's the best wind magic that brings out and multiplies the individuality of their magic power.

　And the two wind magic masters and students shout together.

''Resonance Magic 《Tauschswind Grandfall》!
Resonant magic, Tauschswind Grandfall!

　A wind spear of the same size as the magic 《Light Arrow Breunak》 that Nosfi had released earlier was generated in the sky.
　Not just one. Countless spears of wind filled the sky and were about to fall like rain.

　Nosfi, who was fighting me on the ground, sensed the magic in the sky and tried to prepare to intercept it. In an attempt to prevent this from happening, I launched an attack, but on the contrary, my "Crescent Pectrazi's Straight Sword" was flicked from my hand and I was pushed away.

　Nosfi distances himself from me and thrusts his light flag back into one, stabbing it into the ground and building up a great magic of light that can respond.
　''The One Who Steals the Reason of Light'' activates his signature defensive magic with all of his magical power.

''That's the extent of the magic!　--Light Variants Wall!

　A dome of black light swelled up around Nosfy.
　It caught the wind spears like a shield pointed up into the sky.

　The collision of great magic and great magic caused the sixty-six layers of space to creak with a roar.
　The magic was antagonistic with sparks of magic power.
　Titi and Ryner's resonance magic and Nosfy's defensive magic are equal.
　After receiving all the power of 'here', Nosfi was unable to move.
　Then, the only thing left to do is--.

Go, Christ!

　The liner falling from above threw one of the swords like a boomerang.
　And then, in my hand - "My best friend (Rowen)" returned.

'I'm good at making my way!　With all my strength, this child will make a big hole in the ground!　--Zeerweird!

　Furthermore, just before landing on the ground, Titi held up her bayonet and fired her magic at the dome of light. However, since there was no time to accumulate bullets, it was a random wind that was shot off.

　However, it was still not just a wind.
　It's a [Wind of Freedom] that disintegrates everything by [The One Who Steals the Reason of the Wind].
　And it creates a tunnel-like hole in the defensive Great Magic Light Variants Wall.

　A "path" is created.
　Now, at last, I can see the 'path' that leads to victory with the naked eye and not with dimensional magic.

Thank you!　Titi, Rainer!　Let me take care of the rest!

　All that's left is to push forward.
　If you take the sword you received from Reiner and push forward on the path that Titi has created for you - that's all you need to win.
　I have this confidence. That's why I can move forward without hesitation.

Nosfi--!

　I run through, shouting the name of the opponent I need to defeat.
　In a single breath, the distance is zero, and I reach Nosfi's immediate vicinity.

　He's defenseless.
　I seem to have my hands full stopping the wind spears with defensive magic.
　I manage to stand by thrusting the flag of light into the ground and clenching it with both hands. If it's now, the sword can definitely be reached. We can win.

　I'm going to slash at it with the 'Treasured Sword of the Aleis Family, Rowen'.
　I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what I'm talking about.

　--the blade didn't even reach it close enough.

　Just before touching Nosufi's shoulder, the sword stopped as it was blocked by a thin, black wall of light.
　That wall blocked both Titi's [Wind of Freedom] and 'Rowen''s blade, all of them.
　I intuitively understand it. That Nosufi also used a special power that only 'the one that steals the reason of light' has.
　The wall of light that stole that some kind of reason is protecting Nosufi in a thin layer of skin.

''Hmph, hmph. Hmph.''

　Nosfi laughed as he clutched the flag and turned his face down.
　Then, after shaking his shoulders with enough plumping, he looked up.

''Ah, that's a shame--that's close!　Hmm, welcome, Uzumi-sama!

　A thin wall of light unfolded behind me as well, trapping me in the dome of light. In addition, Nosfi made the new dome of light huge, easily swallowing the antagonistic wind spears with light.

''It's already empty, isn't it, Uzuraha-sama!　And yet I'm glad you're so close to me!　I feel your love!　But it's a reminder, isn't it?　Thoughts that seem to reach, but never reach!　I can't believe I'm one step away from losing!　Ah, after all that hard work, the fight is finally over!　--Lose, lose, by!　Hmmm, how does that feel!　Please tell us how you feel about that!　If you want to, hmmm, let me see your painful face - I, hmmm, please let me see it well!

　He takes his hand away from the flag of light and takes a step closer to me with his signature look.
　The performance went well, and I think he was convinced of victory.
　Without holding a weapon, he reaches out his hands to me and even tries to touch both of my cheeks.

　But I laugh.
　Instead of struggling and contorting it, I lift the corners of my mouth and laugh challengingly.

'-- what are you talking about?　Nosphy, I'm not done. I may be empty, but I'm not finished!
What--?

　Nosfi is surprised to see my smile.
　I take advantage of the opportunity and use it.

'Mr. Reynand!　I'm sorry, sir, we'll use it all up here!　And this is the real deal, the final blow--!

　I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what I'm talking about.
　It's just a little bit of magic power - less than ten in terms of status, but the power returns to the body.

''Is it a replenishment of magic power ......!　But with such a small amount of magical power--!

　Indeed, even if the power returned to the body a bit, the result would be the same.
　This last piece of defensive wall is a magic beyond magic by the power of 'The One Who Stole the Reason'.
　It's impossible to break through it with half-hearted strength.

　But the sword in my hand is not a half-hearted sword.
　This is the sword that cuts off all demons.
　And the wind at my back is not an ordinary wind.
　It's the wind that allows me to walk the road freely.

"'Rowen'--!

　I regain my grip on the sword, trying to cut through the wall of magic.
　And then he spins.
　His (ka) swordsman's life is packed into that 'chanting'.

"- 'I (I) will leave the world (you) behind. The sword (tsurugi) that the world (anata) rejected, I (me) will inherit it--!

　The essence of the magic that leads to the guardian - the ultimate in magic construction.
The 'chanting' of 'The One Who Stole the Reason of the Earth'.

"Well, this can't be...!

　Nosfi seemed to know.
　The sword that cut off the demons of Aleis - its final form.
　Hence the trembling in his voice.
　Even though I thought it couldn't be possible, I was frightened.

　Certainly, there's no way I can do it with common sense.
　This sword is Rowen's technique. At that time, I was able to understand Rowen's life because I had a 'connection' with the Reaper, but that 'connection' has already been severed. I'm missing a lot of things to make it a success.

　But I am convinced.

　I'm sure I can do it now - and I'm strong enough to overcome more hardship.

　I just went with Tity just now, so it's easy to recreate this.
　All I need to do is apply the 《Distance Mute》 and make a 'connection' with the magic stone 'Rowen'!　You can 'chant' that life!　In the truest sense of the word, he can wield his best friend's sword, Lowen, the treasured sword of the Alais family--!

This is the final blow with which we have all been fighting for!　--magic (...) "Dearest Flash (Di a Wraith)" -- ！！！！

　--and cut off (...).

　Distorting the dimensions, stealing the reason of the world, the flashes crossed the wall.
　Ignoring all obstacles, the sword was swung out.
　Only Nosfi's body is the one that cuts through it.

　What we gained on the ground, what we gained underground, we put everything out - that flash finally reaches Nosfi.

Ugh, ugh--!

　Nosfi's left arm was slashed away from the tip of her shoulder.
　I had intended to slash Nosfi's body diagonally through the shoulder opening, but anticipating Aleth's technique, she twisted herself to minimize the damage.
　It wouldn't be because of her physical abilities or her reflexes. The 《D Dearest Flash (Di a Wraith)》 was a technique that couldn't be performed in time after seeing it. In other words, Nosfi avoided it on a hunch.

　Plenty of red blood poured out of the section of the wound.
　Immediately, Nosphy stopped the bleeding with magic, grabbed the flying left arm with his right arm and jumped backwards in a big way.

　He's probably wary of the second shot, "Dearest Flash (Di a Wraith)".
　I can tell from his expression that he thinks that the range of the sword is dangerous.

　A large amount of blood had been drained out of him, and Nosfi had completely paled.
　It looks like a life-threatening wound, even if there is an enhancement due to the unrelieved non-resolution.

　His face contorts and he speaks of his current situation.

''Hey, why ......?　Against my full strength ......, Uzumi-sama, who has zero magic power, competed against me ......?　On "view" at ...... that's impossible!　Yah, it's still weird (・・・・・・). It's too funny, no matter how much it is: ......!　

　He finally took his gaze away from me as his blood drained and he became calm.
　Then, Nosfi activated his magic.

''-- 《Dimension》!

　The choice was not light magic, but the foundation of dimensional magic.
　I furrow my brow and begin to focus on basic magic.

　I try to move forward, trying to make a follow-up attack while it's happening.
　But my footing wobbles and I can't move forward. What's more, I'm not sure I can unleash the Dearest Flash (Di a Wraith) again after approaching Nosfi.
　Titi and Ryner in the rear were also very worn out, and it was going to take some time before the next resonance magic.

　During that slight hesitation, Nosfi seemed to have sensed something.
　While looking around, he muttered out grimly.

''After all, is this weirdness due to Uzuraha-sama's magic?　No, I'm sure of it now. But is this strange technique ...... also supposed to be a 'magic to attract a convenient future' ......?　

　Apparently, he was using 《Dimension》 to analyze the magic power around him.
　He said he was familiar with magic and wards, but it was surprising that he could also understand the magic he used a long time ago. No, perhaps the magic 《Dimensional Decisive Operations (Dimension Graduation) "Realize" is a magic that is particularly easy to sense. When I used it before the fight, I felt the magic I used seeped into the world.

　As I was also analyzing it calmly, Nosfy suddenly became agitated and shouted.

''Huh, you've got to be kidding me!　Isn't that kind of magic like manipulating fate?　It's no longer in the dimension of strong and weak!

　I'm indignant as if I was being used for a foul in the game.
　If it's true to those words, then that anger is reasonable, but the effect of my idea of the "Dimensional Decisive Arithmetic (Dimension Graduate) 'Preternatural (Realize)'" is not that convenient - it should be. Still.

'Nosfi, you're mistaken. It's true that the trigger may have been the power of the magic Dimension Graduate "Realize". But that's not such a useful magic. It's a little bit of futuristic magic - it's just magic to know that there's a possibility. I'm sure that the reason why I'm here today is because of ...... that I was able to overcome various challenges and grow. ...... so many things and people have taught me so many things.

　The people from the past, including Mr. Reynand, who taught me. And the late Hain and Hailey.
　He was also greatly influenced by the guardians he defeated.
　Tida taught me that I shouldn't be defeated unreasonably. She learned from Artie that she shouldn't pretend to be something she isn't. And from Rowen, she learned that she should not pretend to be something she isn't. From Rowen, he learns not to make a mistake in his wish. From Palinkulon, he told me to be myself, no matter what happens. Lord has taught me to never run away from my past.
　-- taught me that.

　I think it's the 'unquantifiable numbers' that make me strong.

I owe it to everyone. Because of the people who helped me, I failed over and over again, and yet I was able to keep walking while getting lost, growing little by little, and becoming stronger than I am now. And that strength has now surpassed you.

　But Nosfi refused to admit it.

'What do you mean by that? What's the thanks to everyone ......!　All, no doubt, is your magic: ......!　Eh, now you're definitely the strongest 'stealer of reason' of all: ......!

　Despite being an enemy, Nosfi, who is somewhat fascinated by me, seems to think that I would do that much.
　Since the battle isn't over yet, I don't want to force myself to correct that overestimation, and I'm at a loss for words to reply.

'...... Ah, so this is the true value of "the one who steals the reason for the dimension". This is what the Apostles said about Uzurinami-sama coming close to completion. ...... making him overcome despair and seize the demonic poison with only the strength of his heart - a 'realm' that even that Yotaki-sama could not reach. I thought it was just nonsense, but it looks like I have no choice but to believe it now.

　After praising me sufficiently, Nosfi scratched out the flag in his hand.
　The light that leaks out of his body weakens, and his will to fight shrinks to match.
　And then he readily admits.

''It can't be helped. I accept it as a defeat. This battle, the moment you use the magic power of this dimensional attribute, I've lost. ...... And now that I know I can't get a sure victory, I can't fight anymore. I'm not going to be able to get any more light "chanting" because it's dangerous. ...... Hmmm, another unfinished business.

　But Nosfi didn't seem to regret it.　
　He stared at the wound with a somewhat happy look, and despite the words of increased unrepentance - his shining body had faded a bit. Maybe it's only a small margin of error, but it's definitely thinner nonetheless.

　While I'm thinking about the reason for this, Nosfi casts a magic.

''-- 《Connection》. I will have time to prepare my stance and think about countermeasures. Right now, going head-to-head with that dimensional magic is not only disadvantageous ...... but also too unreasonable.

　They create a doorway of light in the meadow and retreat, pointing the tip of the flag at us.
　If we wanted to chase her down, we could do it.
　However, I was sure that if we cornered her now, there would be dead people.

　Probably, even if we succeed in defeating Nosfi, someone on our side will die as well. In any case, I'm using the deepest magic, Dimension Graduate "Realize" and the magic "Dearest Flash", but Nosfi still hasn't used any serious magic.

　There's still a magic that hits Nosfi's life itself. And it's most likely an unavoidable and instant death magic.
　The only person who can deal with it is Titi, who has enough magic power - or maybe even Titi can't. That's how much difference there is in the amount of unrequited love between the current Titi and Nosfi.

　It's better to consider it fortunate that Nosphy is scared of the effects of my magic, which is impossible to have, and that she's retreating.

''Then, Uzurinami-sama. I'll wait for you on the ground first. I will be waiting for you with the oath I made that day. Please do not forget that although the sins of the 'North' have been atoned for, the sins of the 'South' still remain. Please, please do not forget me.
...... How could I forget? I'll see you again someday.
'Yes. I'll see you again at ....... Next time, I'll finish you off, body and soul, all of you.

　Then, as if there hadn't been a fight earlier, Nosfi bowed with a gentle smile.
　There was no doubt that the next time they met, it would be a fight as well, but he still left while showing his goodwill.
　Thus, Nosfi passed through the door of light and disappeared from this space.

　As soon as the door of light dissipates, I carefully search for enemies around me.
　The experience of always being taken by surprise after something important is done makes me do that. But after confirming that there were definitely no more enemies, I fell on my ass with relief.
　Honestly, my body was at its limit.

''It's done ....... Somehow, I won ....... No, it's a draw .......

　I sit in the meadow and exhale into the sky.

'Christ......!　Don't move, I'll cast a recovery spell on you right now!

　Confirming that the fight is over, Ryner wanders up to him from afar and builds sacred magic.
　While thanking the liner, he calls out to Titi, who is accompanying him next to him.

'Titi ....... Nosfi's true unconsciousness ......, do you understand?
...... No, I don't understand. It is impossible for the children of the North to know what happened in the South a thousand years ago. The last time I was one-on-one with Nosfi, I couldn't even speak to him.
I see. ......

　Titi looked frustrated. She was probably blaming herself for not being able to understand her friend's pain.

'No, Titi, we can worry about it later. I think we'd better get to earth sooner than that.'

　I whip my tired body and slowly stand up.
　Ryner, who was using sacred magic by my side, panics and tries to stop me.

''Christ, the wound isn't completely closed yet!　I can get some more rest and then--
....... If you don't go now, you'll starve to death. The city back there has completely collapsed.

　Titi seemed to know what I was thinking.
　She changes her mind and agrees with me.

'I mean, Titi!　You're the one who made it collapse anyway: ......!　What's the big deal: ......!
"Don't be so angry. ......!　Today's child will cry!　You cry easily!
Of course I'm angry!　Because of you, this one has to start walking again from the sixty-sixth layer!
'Don't worry about it!　I'll help you explore the maze from here on out.　If the child (straw) gets serious, it will be over in about sixty-six layers soon!　It's probably not too late!
"Because I haven't forgotten the monsters you put me through yesterday: ......
Can't we just write off that ...... site once?　So here's the real child (straw man): ......

　Maybe it's because of the tension that's been building lately, but I'm a little comforted by their arguments.

'Haha ......'

　I laugh at the nostalgia.
　I'm finally back ...... and that's what I thought.
　Looking back, it seems like before I knew it, I felt like I had fallen into the depths of not just sixty-six layers. It's a feeling of finally being able to crawl out of there and back to the starting point.

　With a small smile, I step between them.

'Ryner, calm down. There's no doubt in my mind that we need to hurry up.
'Well, well, if Christ says so much: ......'

　Ryner reluctantly obeys and continues to activate his recovery magic.
　Thanks to this, the core of my bones still hurts, but both Ryner and I have recovered until we can walk.

　I lead the two of us out of the meadow.
　As we walk step by step toward that big spiral staircase, we reaffirm what we need to do now.

Let's go back. We've left a lot of stuff on the ground, so ...... we have to hurry.

　And as the one who walks in the lead, I encourage my friends to do the same.

　Me, Ryner, and Titi all have families on earth waiting for us.
　We've left our loved ones behind.
　Food is a problem, but that's more than enough reason to rush.

'Huh. ....... I understand. All is as the Lord commands.
'Mm, Kanamin!　No, thank you!

　Ryner was a little disgruntled and Titty was elated.
　Both of them nodded and followed behind me.　

　My body may have been full of wounds, but my heart was light.
　That would be the same for Ryner and Titi.

　The heavy feeling I had felt this morning has completely disappeared.
　We are on the verge of HP and MP, and although we are too unprepared, this is the lightest we've ever set out on a labyrinth search.
　That's to be expected.
　It's because, at last, in the true sense of the word, we're heading to the ground.
　Ryner and I - and after a thousand years, Titi - are finally on the ground.


[Party]
　Lord Titty joined us.


　When I saw that 'display', I felt as if all of this underground battle had been rewarded.
　Maybe that's why I naturally increase my walking speed.
　I almost forgot about the pain.

　It's the same with my friends.
　Before I knew it, they were walking next to me and had the same expression on their faces as I did.

　The three of us walked up the central spiral staircase.
　There are no more obstacles on these sixty-six layers. We climbed steadily upward without stopping even once.

　The first thing we arrived at was the 65th layer.
　It's a world where an inexhaustible maze of stairs is woven into the sky.
　There are a lot of labyrinth monsters, lizardfliers and others floating there.
　These monsters were a threat at one time, but now they are no longer scary.

　The most recent Lizardflea, who found the intruder, approaches with the agility of a fly.

''Leave it to me. --Wind.

　But then Titi teased it with her wind magic.

'Leave these trivial matters to the knights and let the Lord rest!

　The liner slashes through.

　The battle was over in an instant by the reassuring companions.
　It was a sight that showed that even though the new party was in a bad state, it was definitely the strongest ever. If this is the case at the 66th layer, as far as going back up, there will definitely be no more fumbling with monsters.

　--We can go.

　With that belief in mind, you can resume your search for the labyrinth with peace of mind.　
　Now you can finally reach the ground.

　The "path" is now clear.

　There is no slope or obstacle in the "path" that leads to the ground. Not so long ago, it felt like a precipice, but now it feels like a flat and easy path.
　There was no way in hell I was going to fall down to the 66th layer anymore.
　In that case, there's only about sixty-five more layers to go, and I'll be done with it in no time.

"Rainer, Titty--let's go!　We can finally move forward. We're almost to the ground--!

　And so, we make one last search in the maze.
　To go back under that sky once more.
　Vowing never to return to 'here' again, we move on - ......
