　Caron was a man who deserves my respect as well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Strong, kind, and loved by all, he was the ideal of a knight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have had such a man say some rather rude things to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When we were informed of his appointment as a brave man shortly before he was engulfed by the dragon factor and went berserk, what he said to me as part of the conversation was enough to make me upset.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I know he is not a sarcastic man. I was angry because he meant what he said, but I suppressed my desire to argue with him and asked him why he said that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　First of all, I will never be chosen as a brave man.

　I could not agree more with Kalon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am not that flexible in my thinking, and I cannot take the name of "brave" so lightly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was my childhood dream, a symbol of hope to save people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the end, the conversation ended without any reply.

　I do not know what Kalon wanted to say now that he has gone out of control.

　I awoke to the cold of the ice, and a stabbing pain in my side made me writhe in agony.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Looking at my body, I saw a large dent in the armor of my torso where I felt the pain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I raised myself up, astonished that my reasonably sturdy armor had been deformed so much, and removed my upper body armor, finally throwing my helmet to the ground and holding my head down.

"Why did I ...... ...... in such a place?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My memory is a little fuzzy as to how I hit my head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I must have hit my side, for my stomach is in great pain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Why am I injured?　And I thought I was outside of Mearaq with Kalon--no, no....

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As his hazy thoughts become clearer, he remembers that he is fighting alongside Usato and the others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, I am with Kalon!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Just before I fainted, I saw Usato knocked to the ground by Kalon's tail.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was trying to save him when he was knocked unconscious by Kalon's tail.

　I looked around and found Amako a short distance away from me carrying the unconscious Lord Aruku on the back of the burin.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I heal my aching side with recovery magic and get up to call out to Amako, only to find her looking up at me with a worried expression on her face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Up ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I look in the same direction she is looking and see a blue mass flying in the sky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It looks like a large bird, though it is not visible from a distance, and it seems to be wandering around in the boundary.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Kalon, is that you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The blue mass falls headlong to the ground, but just before it hits the icy ground, it changes direction and flies in a gliding direction just above the ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I could finally see it, I was so astonished that I lost my voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... yeah,yeah......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Usato clinging to Kalon flying gliding over the icy ground and Nea screaming on his shoulder . I let go at the sight of their unrealistic appearance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　......Oh, you look better than I thought you would.......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, Kalon grabbed Usato by the clothes and threw him with all his might. He lands on his feet, puts healing magic into his right hand, and swings a fist at Kalon, but just before he hits Kalon, he pulls back his fist.

"Usato ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What the hell is he trying to do?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Was he putting magic into his right hand because he was trying to strengthen his lineage?　But I believe that his lineage enhancement was not yet completed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Why is he trying to make Kalon do it now?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No way, is he still trying to save Kalon?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's stupid ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I heard Master Farga's words too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His body is out of control and he is on the verge of destruction.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As a proof, when Usato hit him, his body shattered despite the healing magic he had cast on it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Usato, who saw the collapse of his body up close, must have known that he could not save Kalon. He should have known that, but he did not give up, and he was facing the fierce attacks of Kalon, who had turned into a dragon, even though he was covered with wounds.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even if there is healing magic, magic with powerful healing power, there is a limit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nevertheless, Usato is not giving up and is trying to complete his incomplete lineage enhancement in the midst of the battle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What makes you go that far?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What makes you go that far? .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Just stop it, please. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I want to save Karon, too.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But he's broken to the point where I can't help him anymore.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You don't have to go that far. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　My voice does not reach him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I try to run away, but my aching side prevents me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If not for this injury, I would still be able to fight, but all I can do now is watch with my fingers crossed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Tears well up in my eyes as I feel ashamed of my inability to do anything.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In my despair, the vial fell to the ground, as if there was a hole in the bag attached to my waist from the previous attack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"This is ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The vial contained water from the spring of Kureha.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is the power that he decided not to use when he decided to fight with Usato and the others.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......If I use this water. I'll take Kalon ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With trembling hands, he picks up the vial and stares at it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With the power of this water, I can fight Kalon without worrying about my wounds. In return, I will die, and so will Kalon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I can save Usato and the others, and I can bring peace to Mearaq.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Usato will not have to get his hands dirty.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If my life could do that, it would be more than enough.

　I am already prepared.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can help him who saved my heart.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I will not drink this water as long as Usato lives. I know I am betraying his words, but I still do not want him to die.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I open the lid of the vial and bring it to my mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Once I swallow this water, I will no longer be a person.

<Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Just as the vial is about to touch my lips, the words of Usato from last night come back to my mind and I stop tipping the vial.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I am ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He tried to stop me from dying.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He wanted to fight with me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was pathetic, I was ugly, I was uncool, and he relied on me to .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I choose to betray him and die..,

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ah!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He throws down the vial he was about to bring to his mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The vial is smashed against the ice, shattered into pieces, and all the water inside spills out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was no way I could do it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Yesterday, I would have drank the water without hesitation for the sake of my mission. But now, Usato was still fighting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was no way I could betray his words in front of him, who was looking straight ahead with his eyes in a hopeless situation, as if he would break my heart.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Having abandoned the vials and the best means of protecting this city, I had abandoned my duty as a brave man.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

From now on, I will no longer fight as a hero of Mearaq.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I am sorry, Master Norn, Master Falga.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If I were to fulfill my duty as a hero, I would risk my life to defeat Kalon and bring peace to Mialak, but I can no longer do so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Now the man who cared for me and tried to save me is in danger.

As a knight, I fight for my dear friends who are fighting today."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I know I'm late in giving you an answer, but it's not too late.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Usato is still fighting and has not given up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then I, who have decided to fight with him, cannot give up either.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I can still do something ......!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can stand on these legs and I can do magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Without looking at the shattered vial, I slowly start walking in the direction of Usato and Karon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Just then - something glows very close to where I am standing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What? ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was stuck in the icy ground, and at first glance it looked like nothing more than an iron rod, but it was the "staff" that Kalon wielded as an axe.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The staff flickered and glowed faintly, as if inviting me to join it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A supreme weapon, whose true power can only be wielded by those who are worthy of it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Are you calling me?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The closer we get, the more intense the light becomes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... I never thought that I, who renounced fighting as a brave man, would be qualified to handle the armor of the Lord Falga. I thought how ironic it was, but at the same time it made me realize how much I had been bound by the word "brave".

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Is this what you wanted to say?" ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was bound by the name of "brave," and I was trying to act in a way that would lead me away from the brave man I was trying to be.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What will I accomplish with my power?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　To move according to one's own will, instead of following in the shadow of the hero whom I admired and becoming a martyr to his mission.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Forgetting the pain in my side, I clutch my staff with both hands and take a slow, deep breath.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Piece of the divine dragon! Let my thoughts take shape."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The staff glows with the same beautiful radiance as Usato's cage hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is not a mighty weapon that can kill Karon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What we seek is a weapon to save and protect, just like him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"This is my desire."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a spear.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The staff was the same as before the transformation, but the tip of the spear had a simple shape with a transparent ice-like blade attached to it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is placed in his hand and he grips it tightly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

---......Leona.

"Dear Falga, I have finally found the answer. I will fight with him--Usato--not on a heroic mission, but on my own will.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I put into words my feelings for Mr. Farga as they echo in my mind.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Silenced for a breath, Farga-sama spoke to me in a gentle voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

---If you have found the answer, then follow it. The spear is the divine spear of ice that holds all things together. Unleash it, along with your former doubts, and bring this battle to an end.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He flips the spear around and takes a throwing stance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His target is Kalon, who is flying through the air and about to attack Usato. Facing him, Usato still tries to use his lineage enhancement, but fails at every attempt.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Now I understand why your lineage enhancement is incomplete."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Like me, he is too tied down by the word "lineage enhancement.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I want to help you, too. That's why..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With my sights firmly set on my goal, I put all the magic I have into my spear. Then eight ice spears formed by magic are generated around me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The spear in my hand is transformed into a glowing spear just like the ice spears.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ikkeeeee!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I shouted and threw the spear at Kalon with all my strength.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nine shining spears.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They emit a beautiful and powerful light, and are shot toward Kalon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The spears were thrown at Kalon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The battle between me and Mr. Karon was turning into a war of attrition.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was searching for a way out by using healing magic and cutting down on my physical strength, and Mr. Karon was trying to kill me while disintegrating his own body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The battle, in which both of us were cutting down on each other, was enough to shake my will to save Mr. Karon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After healing my right shoulder with healing magic, I looked up at Mr. Karon flying in the sky and let out a sigh.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ouch... ....... It's really troublesome when you're flying so high in the sky. Nair, can't you grab me and fly?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Don't be absurd. You're heavier than you look, there's no way I can lift you with my strength.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, indeed."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I try to exchange pleasantries with Nair, but this is nothing more than an escape from reality.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The advantage of being able to fly is tougher than I thought. While he is flying, we can only wait for him to attack us.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Once, I tried to hold on to Mr. Karon and drag him into the ground battle, but honestly, I don't want to do it again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Usato, look at that!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, Mr. Karon is here!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Nair rushes to the sky on his shoulder and points his wing to the sky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Quickly, he held up his fists and looked up at the sky to see nine shiny, glowing things moving through the sky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They were moving toward Mr. Karon, who was flying around the sky in all directions.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ah!　Aaaaah!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mr. Karon immediately sensed the presence of the light and flapped his wings to avoid it. However, the nine lights turned toward the location of the fleeing Mr. Karon as if they had a will of their own.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One of the lights pierced through Mr. Karon's wing as he was still trying to escape. The light turned into a spear with a transparent tip and knocked him down to the ground and sewed him to the icy ground.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The next eight lights pierced into the icy ground as if to hold him down, as if to block his movement, and turned him into a spear made of ice different from the first one.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Gee, gah!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Wow, I can't believe that even that Kalon's power can't shatter it. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What amazed me was the strength of the spear, which completely contained even Mr. Karon's power, which far exceeded mine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I recognized the handle of the spear that was stuck in Mr. Karon's wing.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The handle of the spear, which was of a simple shape unlike the ice spear, had the same pattern as the one that Mr. Karon used as an axe.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"This spear, I don't think this is the one Mr. Karon used ......, and this ice, I don't think this is the one!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is only one person who can create ice this strong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I turned my face in the direction the light came from and called out his name with conviction.

　Leona was on her knees, breathing on her shoulders.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I look at my own hands and a pained expression appears on my face as I hear her words, holding my side.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The reinforcement of the system that you asked for was not successful. ......!　I can't help Mr. Karon anymore ......!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, no!　Your lineage enhancement is already completed!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Completed!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You mean to say that my current enhancement is in a state of completion?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"If that's the case, then you can't help Mr. Karon even more ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You are too obsessed with the success of the reinforcement!　What you should be looking at is not your own magical power!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She broke off, took a deep breath, and raised her voice so that her voice reached me firmly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What you should be looking at is the sufferer of the moment, isn't it!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What you should be looking at is the one who suffers now!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is not magic that you should see.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I look from my own trembling hands to Mr. Karon, who is bound and struggling.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's right.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was so intent on succeeding in strengthening the system that I didn't look at the "person" who needed to be healed at all.

"I'm an idiot!　I've been training too much and I've become a real brainiac!

"What, after all this time?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yeah, it's really too late for that!　I said I would help you, but I myself forgot the most important thing!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can't blame Rose for not noticing this. No, I'd rather have her beat me up for being so stupid that I couldn't notice such an obvious thing.

　As I walk up to him who is being restrained, I create a systemic reinforcement in my left hand.
