"Oh, you can take that one.

　The battle seemed to be over, but Zam-el was showing signs of life.
　Zam-el is not dead.

　He grabbed the sand from the ground and turned his hateful face towards Avril and the others.

"I'll never forgive ...... you for taunting me like this. ...... I'll never forgive ...... you for taunting me like this.
"......!　Lara, Marise, Cynthia!　Don't let your guard down, this one's not dead yet--

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea, but it's a good idea.

"Kuro Solar Drain!

　Avril reaches for the sky.

　But nothing happens.
　No, it just looked like nothing was going to happen.

"The sun is ...... turning black?

　And it was Marise who noticed first.

　Marise looked up and saw the sun floating in the blue sky.
　However, the white light of the ...... sun had disappeared, and it had turned into a black sphere.

"Aaaaahhh!

　Zamuel shouts as he falls.
　His throat was torn open and blood came out.

　At that moment, black light radiated from the pitch-black sun, illuminating Avril and the others.

"Oh, it's absorbing my magic power!

　A magic circle appeared around Avril and the others.

　And their magic power is rapidly disappearing as the black sun pulls them down.


What is this ......?　I'm losing power.
I'm not sure if I'll be able to formulate a magic formula without ...... magic power.
If I don't, Cynthia and the others will die.


　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
　They immediately tried to get out of the magic circle, but it was not possible.
　It's an invisible ward from the inside, and unless you break through it with magic, you can't get out.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　Avril also bent down, her face covered in sweat.
　You'll be able to find a lot more information on the web.

Hahahaha!　Look at that!　It's done!　This is the magic power absorption magic ......, the Kuro Solar Drain!　At last, with my life, I've made this Demon Lord Magic a great desire!

　Zam-el no longer has the strength to fight.
　I'm not sure what to make of that.
　If Avril and the others continue to be absorbed by the magic, they will eventually collapse and die.

　But .......


I'm not going to allow that to happen.

　He spoke to Zamuel.

　I took my time.
　Finally, I reached Zamuel.

"Kurt!
Please help me!
Kurt: ...... Cynthia, are you going to die?

　Lara and the others noticed me and slowly turned their heads towards me.
　It was already hard for them to move.
　But when they look at me, there's a glimmer of hope in their eyes.

Hahahaha!　You're too late, Kurt!　Once the Kuro Solar Drain is activated, it's too late!　I couldn't kill you, but you can watch your precious friends die there with your fingers crossed, can't you?
"Here?

　I take a step toward Lara and the others.

It's not much fun to watch from a distance. I'll have to get closer to get a better look.
"Hey, ......!　What are you ...... thinking?

　Zam-el's eyes widen in astonishment.

　Zam-el told me to stay away and watch .......
　But I walked up to Lara and the others and stepped inside the wards with the magic circle appearing under my feet.
　This meant that I could not escape the interference of the Kuro Solar Drain, and my magic power was rapidly being absorbed.

I don't know what you're thinking, but you're right!　Now you can kill him with me. ......
"Kill?　Kill me?
What about ......?

　At this point, Zahmuel finally realized something was wrong.
　A black sun shining in the heavens that had been absorbing my magic in flickers.
　It was a slight change at first.

"Oh ......!　The black sun is expanding ......?

　Yes.
　The black sun, which had been absorbing my magic power, continued to expand.

The sun can suck up all my magic power. ...... I've been lied to.

　Bang!



　Eventually, the black sun, which had continued to expand, burst from within with a loud explosion.

　However, it did not mean that the sun disappeared from the world.
　The sun had regained its original glory and was still floating in the sky.

The Kuro Solar Drain is a spell that uses the power of the sun to absorb magic power.

　The sun contains 'mana', the element of magic.
　Borrow its power temporarily.
　This is how the Kuro Solar Drain works.

However,......, if a certain amount of magic power is sucked up, the magic formula will collapse from the inside out. The Kuro Solar ......, or rather the magic formula, will then restore the sun to its original state.
How much do you know about ...... the forbidden magic of the Witch King?
"How much do you know about ?

　I'm not sure how much you know about forbidden magic.
　A thousand years ago, there was a disadvantage in that the sun's brilliance would be diminished if it were too frequent.
　This is why I had designated it as a ...... forbidden magic, and although it was an abominable magic ...... or rather a defective magic, I never thought I would see it here.

I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not.

　I've seen the bottom of this guy.

I think it's time to end this.

　I let go of the stunned and speechless Zamuel and deployed my magic formula.

　The black giant revealed itself.

　What appeared in front of Zamuel was a huge golem-shaped shadow.
　The weight of the golem, like a castle, made the ground beneath his feet sink lightly.

"Sha, you can use shadows too? ......?
That's weird.

　That's because I developed it a thousand years ago.

　Earlier, this thing could only create dog-like shadows.
　But if you use it, you can create a shadow this huge with fighting power.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!

　The golem shadow slowly rose to its feet.
　The golem shadow slowly rises to its feet. At the end of it is Zam-el.

"Answer me. Do you know anything about the decline of this world ...... and the great lie?

　Maynard, who is also one of the Four Wise Men, said that there is a great lie hidden in this world.
　Even Maynard, who is also a Fosind, didn't know that. ...... What about Zamuel?

Didn't Maynard tell you?　We have only a fraction of the information that we are privy to. If you've heard from Maynard, there's nothing more I know. Besides, do you think I'm sycophantic enough to spout off about it when I'm finished here?
"Of course not.

　Maynard is an aristocrat who is said to be influencing the entire empire. ...... It is called House Fosynd.

　He was a Fosind and one of the "Four Wise Men".
　He was one of the four wise men of the Fosynd family. And in terms of ability, Maynard used a wide variety of magic and seemed to be slightly better than him.
　As Zahmuel said, he didn't think he could get any more information than that.

"But let me tell you, ....... Killing me is not the end. There will still be people sent from the Empire to kill you!　Hahahaha!　Keep shaking and shaking!

　A deafening laugh.
　But when I hear it...


"Come at me all you want! I'll kick the crap out of you no matter who you are.


　I kicked him off.

"Ahhhh!

　Eventually, the golem began to move and put its foot down, crushing Zamuel like a bug.
