Even so, I can't allow it. You're trying to change the world by creating an alchemy doll.

　From what you've just said, the fact that you couldn't reveal your true identity must have violated the laws of the world.
　This guy, unlike me, is trying to cross time and destroy the world.

Who the hell are you to lecture me?　I've lived in this world longer than you, I've created new magic, and I've achieved my goal of bringing Lilium back to life.

"Can't you see that a doll without a soul is worthless? Don't you see that a doll without a soul has no value? You probably just despaired of this world and ran away to the alchemy doll.

　Ars distorts Ils' face badly.
　My words seemed to have badly offended him.
　He raised his right hand to signal to Ils, who was holding Celetia, to remove the gag.

"Celestia, do you understand what I just told you?

...... I don't understand. Are you not the King of the Ills?

"I'm pretty sure I'm the Ilus who dined with you. I'm pretty sure I'm the Ils who dined with you, except I'm in a parallel universe called Ars Ditland. And your squire there, Walth Cy, he is also Ars Ditland.

　Seretia's eyes widened and she stared at me without blinking.

"You weren't told anything about him, were you?　I never would have told you. He's been deceiving you all along. He reincarnated as Walth Rhino to create reanimation magic, and he used you to avenge me. What do you make of that?

　I don't know what Ars wants.
　I don't know what Ars is trying to do, but I know exactly what he's trying to do.
　I think he's trying to drag me down to his own situation.

............ wols...... is it true what they say......?

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not.

It's true. I have memories of the time I was Ars Dittrand.

Why didn't you tell me? ...... Answer me, Walth.

　Celestia was the first to question me about my past.
　You can feel the weakness in her voice, but her strong will can be felt through the blood Qi curse.
　It's the strongest command I've ever heard.

"...... I exist as a Walth Rhino. I'm not going to live as Ars, so I decided that I didn't need to tell you, that's all. I'm living now to protect Celetia. Defeating the Ars in front of me is just my way of settling the score.

"Hahahahaha!　You're not going to let sophistry get the better of you at this point. You have Phial in your hand. That's nothing but proof that you're alive as Ars. Do you think you can convince me of that?

　Ars said, convinced that the relationship between me and Celetia had broken down.
　Naturally, I was prepared for that and said it.
　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

So, no problem. You're a Walth Rhino and nothing more.

　I wasn't the only one who was surprised by this answer.
　Ars was even more surprised and angry than I was.
　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

I'm not sure what to say.

　I'm not sure what to make of that.
　I'm not sure what to make of it.

I'm not sure what to say.　I'm sure you're not the only one.

...... No one is being tough. Walth is my protector and my slave. I've given him strict orders to speak only his mind, and that's his mind. He may be an Ars, but he's not like you.

　I guess he didn't get the information that I'm bound by the blood curse.
　I'm not sure what to make of this.

I'm not sure what to make of that. You can't get away with it.

It's not that!

　I'm not sure how to explain that.

I'm not sure how to explain it, but it's a good idea. I won't be dealing with you as Lord Arus.

You're not the same person as the Fiel that I loved.

　The air that Ars wears suddenly changes.
I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but I'm sure you've heard of it.

What are you going to do?

　What are you going to do?" I asked, and Ars gave me a lowly smile.

You said that I ran away to the alchemy doll, then of course you have perfected the magic of raising the dead, right?　I've been studying souls for forty-seven years since my reincarnation, and I've created a spell to forcibly separate souls that don't leave the body for a while after death. It's a waste of time to wait for every experiment.

　This is the reason why experiments on reanimation spells used the corpses of demons that had been dead for several hours or days.
　A body that has just died and still has the potential to come back to life will accept recovery magic regardless of whether it comes back to life or not. Some people have tried to evolve it as resurrection magic.
　However, it is an incomplete spell that can only be used when the soul has not yet been separated from the body.


　The magic I'm working on for reanimation is a time-reversal magic, but it's different from recovery magic because it only reacts to things that don't have a full soul.

Are you trying to tell me that your research is more advanced than mine?

"No, no, what good is a work in progress if it's not finished? When I heard that you were an escort slave, I decided that this would be the perfect opportunity to utilize my soul destroying magic and prove your incompetence.

　At the same time Ars snapped his fingers, Ils came up behind Celestia and untied the ropes that bound her behind her back.
　I'm not sure what to make of that, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

　There was no way he wouldn't do anything.
　But I don't know what he's trying to do.
　The best thing to do would be to secure Celestia first, and then immediately fall back to Phiel.
　Just as he started to move, Ars' eyes flickered.

It's time for you to pay for insulting me. Now show me that your seventeen years have all been for nothing.

　If I reach out, I can touch Celestia's fingers.
　One more step, and I can hold her in my arms.
　No matter what they do, they can't touch Celestia, who is already right in front of them.

"Wal ......s! ............

　But as she reached out, a blood-soaked blade pierced the center of her chest.
　It was the right hand of Ilus, who was behind her.
　The sharp outstretched arm turned into a silvery, just sharp blade that skewered Celestia's heart.
