It's no surprise that Serdra was watching.
　At any rate, Kanami has a foul term called 'future vision'.
　Furthermore, 'speed' to dimensional magic that overturns the concept of distance.

　Normally, a surprise attack would not be possible. And moreover, having a Sith taken hostage would not happen unless Kanami wanted it to.
　In other words, this situation right now is no other result than what Kanami herself wanted - but Serdra tries to scramble to the end while dropping cold sweat to the ground.

'Ka, Kanami?　What are you taking so long for?　If you're going to do it, move immediately ...... and stay ......

　On the way, his voice trembled.
　I could tell by the look on Serdra's face that he wasn't stagnant.
　He covered his mouth with his right hand as if to control his nausea, and Glenn added the words.

'I poisoned the water. It's the 'Immortal Killing Poison' that is 'paying for' the eradication of a certain village. I'm controlling it with my power that I've 'turned into a demon'.

　The water on the table was discovered to be a trap.
　Next to Seldra, who had lost her temper due to the poison, Kounel, who was finally starting to get a handle on the situation, was also blue-faced. From the drool dripping from her mouth and the way her entire body was relaxing, I could tell that she had also put her mouth to the water.

　A poison that could be used on the higher level demons, the 'Dragon Man (Dragon Newt)' and the 'Bloodsucking Species'.
　After confirming that the trump card passes, Glenn tries to move on to the next story.

　Now, the scene is completely controlled by Guren.
　He is the one with the most advantages. That's what everyone starts to think--.

Of course, I'm the only one who has the antidote. However, I only have the antidote for one person. I'm going to make a deal with you, including the Sith magic stone...
It's okay (・・・・・). Now, I will go with Sith to Fafner's place. Serdra will remain here, as Mr. Glenn requested.

　It was again.
　Before any deals or bargaining was done, Kanami skipped the process and answered.
　The one who was more surprised than anyone else by her immediate answer was not her negotiating partner, Glenn, but her companion, Serdra.

'Kanami, what do you mean ....... We're all supposed to come together first and separate Fafner and Helmina (・・・・)--

　It's different from the prior plan.
　Leaving Seldora who insists on that, Glenn calmly nods at each other with Kanami.
　It's quintessential that he still hasn't shed a single cold sweat while facing that Kanami.

The fact is, Kanami-kun knew from the beginning that this would happen. This was still a plan that I've been desperately trying to come up with in the basement, where the 'thread' couldn't reach me. ......
'I'm sure you've noticed that you've been noticed, Mr. Glenn.　So, I'm still the only one who doesn't have a 'lethal poison' but a 'paralyzing poison' ...... No, is this 'drunkenness'?　It's such a warm (lukewarm) 'state of affairs' to get it over with.
'That's simply because Kanami-kun advised me that I couldn't get through to you with a malicious 'state of affairs', but I could get you drunk with alcohol. I didn't go easy on you, specially.
...... Heh. So you heard.

　Unlike Seldra, whose face was blue, Kanami's cheeks were flushed and her head was shaking.
　The symptoms would convince me that it was 'drunkenness'. Is it a characteristic of the bee's (bee) 'Majin' to make them drink the same poison and generate different effects? Perhaps it would be possible to control the alcohol that had invaded their body and cause them to die of intoxication. There may be conditions, such as having to mix water with one's own bodily fluids or something else - but unlike me, who proceeded to consider it, Serdra was alone and accelerated the confusion.

'Oh, hey ......, Kanami!　Well, wait. I don't understand it. It's not a negotiation in the first place, is it?　It's only a matter of time before a single tribe is sacrificed, and if we're the ones who steal the truth, then we'll be cured soon enough--
That venom will never (・・・・・) [be undone (・・・・・・)] again.

　Before he could finish, Glenn coldly interrupted him.
　The meaning of that [I won't go back to the original] could be guessed by those who had once fought the 'Blood Stealer'.

''No return?　No, it can't be cured. Especially me, I'm a 'curse' and I'm going to 'adapt' to everything. This kind of poison, it should go away, ......, soon enough. ...... What's that, what's that?　Is that disgusting?　I'm a dragon man (dragonette) and I'm weird ......?　Well, you can't be--

　Serdra's strength was being drained from her body by the poison, and she finally found it difficult to even keep her back to the chair.
　Gradually, his center of gravity shifted to the side and he almost fell off the chair, reaching out to grab the table. But his heavy weight could not be supported by just one table.
　The tables on the deck would all topple over, meal by meal.
　The poisoned Serdra and Kounel both fell to the floor with their chairs.

　The only one who was safe was the 'drunk' Kanami, who got up before everything rolled over.
　In the end, the meaning of [I can't get back to normal] was pronounced by Glenn's mouth.

''It's not just the sacrifice of one kind of race. It's the crystallization of the sacrifices of the 'magicians' of a thousand years ago, the very crimes you committed. --That 'Immortal Killer's Poison' is mixed with the [Reason of Blood].

　In the past, that [Blood Reason] caused Ragne Kaikwola to receive a wound on her cheek and shortened her life expectancy to a few days in one fell swoop. If it was only a simple danger, it would be a power that competed for the top spot among the stolen world's laws.

　Soon after the clearing of the story that it was contained, Glenn makes his move.
　While backing up and keeping his distance, he grabbed his own jacket with the opposite hand of the hand that held the Sith hostage - the hand that had been 'demonized' - and tore it apart with his inhuman muscle power.
　The nobleman's clothes that symbolized a human being called Glenn were never to be worn again, and his upper body was exposed.

　--It was abnormal.

　It's not an abnormality to the extent that it's been transformed by "Majinization".
　The influence of the "demonization" is collected in the left arm, and the body is almost raw.
　There was a serious illness there that would not be tolerated if it were flesh and blood.

''Seldra, do you understand?　Are you listening to me while you suffer?　You're going to die. I'll kill you. I'll kill you.

　A thick, layered killing intent slammed into Seldora, who thrust his hands into the ground.
　Each time, the center of the exposed upper body pulsed silently.

　A fatal wound, as if it had been hollowed out with a spoon, was gaping in the raw chest.
　In that painful space, a red-black, round organ sits as if it were decorated.

　-- an exposed heart.

　However, it is not Glenn's heart.
　I knew it was 'Helmina's Heart' because it was me.
　At the same time, it's also the magic stone of 'The One Who Steals Blood's Reason' and the ultimate goal of the 'Primary Attack Team'. In other words, the separation of Fafner and Helmina (・・・・) had already been accomplished by Guren. So all along, Guren and Kanami were talking on that basis, and only Serdra was left behind.

　However, the strange thing here is that the beating of the Heart of Helmina, the source of the 'Blood Power', is too weak.
　If you observe it closely, you will realize that this is natural.
　The heart of Helmina is connected to Glenn's body, but its arteries and veins have been cut off and are not connected to anywhere.

　It appears to have just been sitting there for a long time now.
　Hence, both the 'Heart of Hermina' and Glenn's body were lifeless, cold, and still powerless.

　Seeing this, Serdra managed to shake her throat as she collapsed.

''That's Helmina Neisha ......!　Why is the magic stone from 'The One Who Steals Blood's Reason' here ......!

　He can't seem to believe that the earlier "no way" was true, even in front of his eyes.
　At any rate, if we can secure that one, we can even leave Fafner Helvirshine in the extreme and the 'primary attack force' can return to the Allied countries.

　Of course, Glenn knows that, too.
　Wary, he retreated to the edge of the ship.
　Then, with the deck fence at his back, he slowly lifted his left arm.

　Glenn's 'demonized' arm swung to the side and overlapped with the horizon of the 'Blood Land'.
　Suddenly, the wind blew through and the 'Living Legend' shook.
　It wasn't a wobbly sideways - but a thumping, vertical, loud, special sway that he felt for the first time.
　He 'chanted' along with that shaking.

''-- 'The sinner who stole the truth of blood will die twice, for the great sinner who cannot atone for his sins with a single death.''

　The shaking beneath his feet intensified like a great earthquake.
　Obviously in response, the entire sea of blood was beginning to rage.

　Gradually, the wind blowing through was powerful, and the smell of the blood contained in it grew thicker and thicker.
　Gradually, the fog deepened and the sun's rays shining in the heavens couldn't reach even the slightest bit.
　When they thought it was no longer a red mist but a red cloud, the weather of the 'Blood Land' had completely finished painting over.

''- ''Oh, I am the mortal sinner, the one who steals the truth of blood--''

　A red cloud, not a dark cloud, is rising and writhing like a demon, covering all of the red sea.
　It's an eerie red, dark and cloudy sky.
　Moreover, the rain, appropriate to the bad weather, begins to fall.

　It was a dark red drizzle.
　Naturally, this is also blood.
　Blood rain fell on the "Living Legend" and drenched the bodies of the crew.

　--And then an even louder tremor hit the ship with a thump.

　The Heart of Helmina, which had been quiet a moment ago, suddenly began to move.
　A rain of blood flooded the large wound in Glenn's chest, causing his heart to jump like a watery fish.
　More arterial and venous cuts are repaired and blood vessels connect to Glenn's body like roots in the ground, and the blood produced by that heart begins to be pumped out.

　They connect (...) and pulsate, visibly filling Glen with magical power.
　The presence of the 'one who steals the truth of blood' is added to the presence that was already thick with the 'demon return'.
　The air around them became distorted and it was as if red steam was rising from their skin.

　The beating of the heart of Helmina's heart continues to resound with a thumping sound.
　It's a loud sound. When I noticed, not just the ship, but the entire ocean was shaking in time with that pulse.
　It's interlocking. The waves of the sea are rising higher and higher everywhere to match that too fast palpitations.

　-- It was a scene that made one believe that this 'Blood Land' was the heart of the 'Blood Reason Stealer'.

　And the foothold of the "Living Legend" became terribly unstable.
　I rushed to the fence near the glen and clung to it.
　Serdra stayed where she was by thrusting her arms to the floor, desperately seeking an explanation for the situation.

'Gu, Glenn......?　Don't tell me you've been reading the rest of the academic books in Fania?　That was misinformation from the idiots at the Institute!　You can't just pull out your own heart and then become the 'Steal the Reason' for anyone!

　To that concern, Glenn abjectly refutes the concern.

'You're the fool, Serdra. This has been repeatedly tested and confirmed to be reproducible. --I mean, it's verified (・・・・・) scientific magic (・・・・・・・). It's not like a fake magic that relies on an apostle and somehow stole reason from the world to be able to use it for no reason. It's a true human power that has been sacrificed a lot, checked over and over again, and can be used by anyone!

　I had heard that story somewhere before.
　I could feel the remnants of my old master in his choice of words.

　I suddenly looked up at the face next to me.
　There, in his bloodied profile, his eyes, with their indomitable fighting spirit - the eyes.

　It's obvious now.
　Now, that man has returned.
　Even though he was only recreated in "Blood Land" a thousand years later, to our Fania territory--.

　As if to express the rapture and excitement, the sea of blood raged even more wildly.
　Looking at the surface of the sea on the other side of the fence, the waves were dancing madly like a red flame (prominence) on the surface of the sun. No, I should say that this irregularly dancing splatter of blood is a field of crimson flowers blooming madly, or should I say that it is a field of crimson flowers.

　And as if to follow the scene, flowers begin to bloom on Glenn's body as well.
　I'm not sure if the power of the "blood thief" is taking its toll or if the effects of the bee's "demonization" are worsening, but its skin is cracking and cracking, and blood is seeping out of the cracks. It looked as if it was blooming with red blossoms.

　In a world stained red with the blood of blood, Glenn comes forward.

''From this, this Glenn Walker is the agent of the 'Blood Stealer' --for one purpose only. I'm going to kill Seldra Queenfillion, the one that steals the truth of nothingness, and drag her down to the depths of hell. That's all.

　At the same time, he also threatened to kill her.
　Even if the opponent is a legendary 'hero', the 'strongest' creature, or a special 'reason-stealer', the current Glen Walker can rival them.
　It was such a powerful name.

　That declaration of hostility, unashamedly unashamed of the "logic stealers" of the past, is proof that he understands the world well.
　Furthermore, Serdra paled further. Then he turns to his ally, who is also on all fours near him, and asks somewhat accusingly.

'Ka, Kanami ....... I'm not listening, nothing .......
'I'm on Seldora's side. But I'm also on Mr. Glenn's side.

　Kanami, who held her head down with the 'drunkenness' thing, answered without a pause.
　However, even if she clearly said she was an ally, it didn't sound like she wasn't an enemy.

　At any rate, it was obvious that this situation was only possible with Kanami's cooperation.
　The sight of Kanami slowly crawling across the unsteady floor and heading towards Glenn while 'drunk' was truly eerie.
　She was moving as slow as a snail, but Serdra couldn't call it off.

　However, Glenn's side was calm and dropped the Sith magic stone - before Kanami could get close to him.

'Kanami, you're over there. ...... Fafner is waiting for you.

　The place I dropped it was on the other side of the fence.
　Just as I was clinging to the fence, I was able to see the poor magical stone being swallowed up by the raging red sea.
　Kanami seemed to confirm this as well, and turned his face back a bit to say goodbye.

'...... Now, I have to go save the Sith. Of course, I want to help Fafner beyond that, too. So, I'd like to ask Seldra to secure the magic stone for The One Who Steals Blood's Reason, if possible.
'Me? ......?　is absolutely impossible to secure, let alone destroy!　Incapacitation through "discussion" would be a story with "Distance Mute": ......!
No, Serdra. You, of all people, will convince Glen Walker, the agent of the The One Who Stole the Blood, to do it. -- alone and without the help of anyone else. If you succeed, your name will be remembered for another thousand years as the hero who holds the last key to save the world. ...... And if I fail, I'll be okay with that. When Mr. Glenn kills you, you'll finally be able to like you, finally.
'Yes, no, no, no, not 'now (...)' is ......

　Serdra shakes her body at the unreasonable leader's instructions.

　I know that feeling.
　The reason I'm trembling is not because I was told in a light tone that I might die.

　-- it's simply that I'm afraid I can't communicate with Kanami.

　Using the same language, talking the same talk, those dark eyes and Serdra are facing each other.
　However, even though their eyes meet, what they see now is too different.

　This is the madness of a wizard who overused the past and future vision.
　Seldra, who normally lives in the 'present', can't keep up with the story and lets the wobbly Kanami arrive at the deck fence.

　It was just between me and Glenn.
　There, he pauses and smiles, leaving me to say.

'Just, Glenn, ....... I won't let this be the last time, not so easily. Snow will be waiting for you to return.

　When his sister-in-law's name was mentioned, Glenn's expression twisted slightly.
　That would definitely be a week point.
　However, Kanami didn't poke her any further, she turned her gaze to the blood and chanted a magic.

''--Magic 《Blood》''

　It's a blood attribute foundation magic.
　However, if someone as powerful as Kanami used it, the effect couldn't possibly be confined to basic magic.
　With an earth-shaking roar, the raging sea of blood breaks open.

　It wasn't a metaphor or anything, just a single word was muttered and the sea split.
　Kounel's "Safe Zone" was also terrific, but this one had a different dimension.
　As if he had chopped wood in the world, the sea of blood that had easily led up to the horizon was split in two, exposing the sunken city of Fania.

　Two waterfalls leading up to the horizon.
　The storm made it late to notice, but before I knew it, the 'Living Legend' had gone beyond the city's outer walls. It was a proud wall that had become a rat-returning wall, but it didn't seem to mean anything if the ship was passing over it.

　Below me, the city where I was born spread out.
　Mixed in with it was a distinctly different and massive building.
　I don't know what number it was, but I'm sure that was Fania's 'Demonic Research Institute'.

''I'm going to go.''

　Kanami jumped over the fence of the ship as if throwing herself over it and jumped down.
　She fell right beside the waterfall made of magic 《Blood》 as casually as if she had dropped a pebble. And a few dozen seconds later. As a matter of course, after landing unharmed, like a wavering ghost, she walked towards the nearby "Magician's Research Institute".

　After finishing watching the Kanami, I turn my attention to Glenn, who was following it with his eyes as well as mine.
　Because the interrupter (Kanami) that was in between us has disappeared, our eyes easily meet.
　Since it was a good time, there was one last thing I wanted to ask him.
　While pointing to the 'Heart of Hermina' on its chest, he confirmed.

'Glenn Walker. The reason you were able to understand my words was because Helmina-sama was there, wasn't it?''
...... Yeah. Not that that's all there is to it, but it's true. Most of her knowledge was passed down to me. Some of that knowledge was about you.
'I see. ....... You'll understand. If the person who came up with my madman's manual was there, it was a no-brainer.'

　Now there is not a single question.
　That's what Glenn seems to be doing as well, prompting me with a sunny face.

"You'd better get out there. The ship (here) is not safe anymore.

　With a gentle voice and eyes, he told me to drop downstairs because upstairs would be a battlefield with no guarantee of life.
　Before I could nod back to that, the voice rises.
　It was Seldra, who had been forced to do a reckless job and looked away from her boss, Kanami, in a daze.

'Cleaners, wait!　At the very least, you can take Kounell and get off the ship to the limit!　If we can't get Kounell safe, most of my magic will--
"Kukukukukuku ......!

　Halfway through, I couldn't hold back and let out a laugh.
　Seldora was surprised by my reaction.

　What was he surprised about?
　I wondered.
　You've already confirmed a thousand years ago that I'm useless.
　That's why you've been able to do what you want with Fania.

　Even if you don't understand the words, you seem to understand that I am now laughing at you.
　Serdra was surprised and bewildered, and gradually she understood--.
　The way you look, really...

'Kukkuu--, kuhahahahahahahahahahahahaha--!

　It was fun.
　The 'strongest' man who once wielded the continent is now in a hurry to be swept up by an entity of my size.
　Like it or not, I'll try to come back to life in hell.
　Many things come to mind, such as the flow of time is cruel, or that the course of life is a succession of prosperity and decline, but I am simply happy now. It's funny, so funny, so funny, so funny, so funny, so funny, so unbearable.

''Ha-ha, ha-ha!　Ahhhh hahahahahahaha!

　Serdra heard it loud and clear and seemed to understand.

'Janitor, you ......

　Serdra looked away painfully, knowing that I was amused by her.

　I'm happy to say that she finally gets my feelings.
　But I also feel my heart grow more and more distant.

　Just like with Kanami, Seldra decides that she can't have a conversation with me either, and she looks around with a slightly frightened expression on her face.
　Kounel remains slumped on the floor.
　A rain of blood is pooling on the deck of the ship at an abnormal rate, and if it continues, he will be in danger of drowning. Whatever the case, there's no doubt that Kounel is not a force to be reckoned with.

　If you notice, he should have come with the strongest party called the 'Primary Attack Team', but Seldora is alone against the main opponent of 'The One Who Steals Blood's Reason'.
　He realizes the fact that he was left behind in every sense of the word and is alone, and shakes his head widely.

''Nah, no!　I'm not alone: ......!

　So I roused myself and staggered to my feet.
　On the precarious deck, he smiled familiarly at his enemy, Glenn, as if clinging to him.

'Well, there's still a Glenn ....... He's got a really good killing intent. It's like looking at the old me. Glenn, you remember the catharsis of being able to kill me, don't you?　I know exactly what I'm talking about. And I know very well that you must be my affinity. Glen Walker was the one who would seal my existence for posterity!　So I don't miss it one bit!　I'm still not alone as long as I have a heart-to-heart companion called you: ......!

　The confusion was so extreme that for some reason he was treating Glenn, who was supposed to be the enemy, as one of us.
　And both I and Glenn could tell from his desperate form that he was serious.
　Of course, because he's serious, the deputy next to me is furious.

'Oh, you're ......!　It really does get on people's nerves!　Don't insinuate anything more than that!

　Looking at the two of them, I wobbled and I was shaken.

　Serdra's 'curse' is definitely an 'adaptation' as he said.
　It's not only a physical attack or other familiarity, but also a mental one, I suppose.
　So maybe he's too used to having killing intent and disgust directed at him to realize that Glenn really hates him.

　I think I understand a little bit why Seldra Queen Fillion was called the 'strongest' a thousand years ago.
　It's not the tribal strength of a dragonborn (Dragon Newt).
　It's not even the physical strength of 'adapting' to any attack.
　Perhaps it was his invincible mind, due to his insensitivity, that pushed him to 'strongest' a thousand years ago.

　--my heart is swayed to see the rest of this Seldora.

　Will it be enough time to watch the conclusion of the above before going downstairs?
　I don't think that's going to happen, as far as I'm concerned.
　Without a doubt, I can only watch one of them from the sidelines.

　I'd like to watch them both from the 'sidelines'.
　But I have to choose.

　But fortunately, if I ask Kanami to read the parts I missed, after all is said and done, she'll let me read the parts I missed. Make it your specialty, and plenty of it. And most importantly, the bottom line is that it would be more interesting if I went with it.
　There was only one choice.

'--Seldra, I'm afraid you're alone. So, goodbye.''

　Delayed from Kanami, I also climbed over the fence.
　Then, while the waterfall caused by the magic 《Blood》 was still in place, I jumped down towards the city below the ship.

　-- A moment later, there was a roar and shock behind me.

　It seems that Glenn had refrained from attacking magic until I was gone.
　In order to repay that kindness, I vow in my heart that I will definitely make it to the 'Goddess Storage Room'.

　With the impact of the magic just now, I was now receiving a tailwind from my back.
　The feeling of floating continues. Although it would be a fall from a considerable height, the landing could be endured by the strong body of the 'blood doll'.

　So what he should be thinking about now would not be worrying about his own body, but about Fafner.
　A theologian boy waiting for the 'Great Messiah' (Magna Messiah) in the modern world after the worst ending a thousand years ago.

　That Fafner has decided to do something about it, and has let go of The One Who Steals the Truth of Blood and left it in the hands of Glenn.
　However, I feel that he is still waiting for him, surely looking the same as he did a thousand years ago.

　With the same longing all along.
　Trapped in the same hell for a long time.
　Waiting for the same savior for a long time.

　And when I get out of there once, when I want to go back...

　What will we see on their faces?
　How would they react?
　What would they say?
　That was my pleasure.
