90-Eighty-Eighth Episode: Sibling vs. Sword of Blood Smoke (later)





 It was a white flame.

 The white flame from Miroslav's body instantly swelled up and enveloped Crya.

 I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.


 This is a great way to get a good look at your own personal history.

 A high-level mind-armor user will subconsciously wear this protective wall, which is why it's not as strong as a shield.

 Even so, if the enemy is an off-island sorcerer, it can still play fifth-level magic.

 The fact that that the protective wall (shield) easily melted down told me that the white flame created by Miroslav was at the sixth circle or even higher level.


''Kook!


 I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the next few days.

 However, the burning heat that enveloped his body did not diminish even an inch. I'm not going to be able to get away from the effect range of the white flame with a single step back.

 Realizing that, Cryer took another step or two back, and when the number counted five, he was finally able to get out from under the influence of magic.



''........Are you insane, dear?''


 As he spoke to Miroslav, Cryer's condition was terrible.

 It's a good thing that you've got a good idea of what you're looking for.

 Their defensive enchanted clothing smoked and smoldered, reeking of burnt clothing. It was obvious that Miroslav's magic had defeated Cryer's defenses.

 But it was also obvious that the damage inflicted was insignificant--and


Deliberately unleashing your magic... how is that different from suicide?


 What Miroslav did was a technique to release the magical power stored within his body to the outside world. This in itself is not unusual. This is exactly what Klimt did the other day when he obliterated the earth spirit of Lunamaria.

 However, Klimt properly adjusted the power. In order to avoid hurting himself, he didn't want to interfere with the subsequent battle. He only released a minimal amount of magic power (jin) for the purpose of shaking off the bondage of the earth spirit.

 In turn, that of Miroslav did not take into account any adjustments. He didn't care if he was injured by the recoil. It doesn't matter if you're unable to fight after activating it. Even the magic stone is used to deliberately cause magic power to run amok.

 It's not "Discharge" but "Overload" - it's synonymous with suicide in the terminology of Cryer.





 Miroslav's outfit, which he had responded to at intermission, was far worse than that of Cryer's. The clothes he was wearing were burned off without a trace, and the burns that had eaten through his skin had turned white through the red color.

 The clothes he was wearing had burned off without a trace, and the burns that had eaten through his skin had changed from red to white. The burn marks, which had eaten through the skin, had turned white.

 The reddish hair was also charred black, and there was almost no trace of the red-haired sorcerer (Miroslav) before it was activated.

 This is the last resort to cause not only his own magic power, but also that of the magic stone to run amok. This is Miroslav's final trump card, as he doesn't even care about his own life.


 --It's a very good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for.


 It's true that they bought themselves a small amount of time, but it wasn't enough for Seal and Sparrow to escape. The enemy would soon behead Miroslav, and he would enter the mansion with his feet and behead them both.

 Despite the fact that the Lord entrusted me with his absence, this was a painful experience.

 I haven't even been given the task of improving the antidote yet.


''I'm sorry, Master...'' 


 He apologizes to the Lord, who is not here, for dying without atonement or devotion.

 It was when Cryer was about to open his mouth to say something in front of such Miroslav.


''--Sis!


 Klimt rushes into the mansion, even his voice pales. He must have had a bad feeling about the explosion of magical power that was different from his sister's.

 And when Klimt saw the scene, he understood the situation in an instant.


''You! You hurt my sister!


 Klimt was furious as he looked at the tattered Miroslav. And he turned that anger directly into action.


"Mind-armored excitation--


 If left alone, Miroslav must die - we know that.

 My sister's injuries are minor burns, and if left untreated, they will heal in a few days - we know that.

 But.

 Even if I don't have to put my hands down. Even if it is insignificant or abrasive.

 Anyone who hurts my sister will be killed by their own hand. Human or demon - demon god.

 That is Klimt Berch's oath.

 It is a very important thing to have in mind when making a decision on whether or not to use it.


''-- Burn it down, Kuri-Kara!


 At that moment, a heaven-shattering flame rose up from the streets of Ishka.


◆◆◆


Don't do it, Klimt!


 At the stage when his brother manifested his mind-dressing, Cryer was shouting for restraint.

 However, that voice doesn't reach the ears of Klimt, who was enraged at being hurt by his sister.

 Seeing that, Cryer straightened up and extended his right hand.

 Klimt's mind gear is a divine sword of fire. Once swung down, it can burn not only the sorcerer (Miroslav), but also the beastmen (Seal) and demons (Sparrow) who have escaped into the mansion.

 That's not all. They can also incinerate Sora's mansion, as well as the houses that line the walls and their inhabitants, and eventually even tear down the walls of Ishka.

 No matter how much they wanted to avenge the demon, they couldn't cause that much damage.


''Mind-armored excitation--''


 A heart outfit manifests in Kuria's hands. 

 If Klimt's heartpiece is a crimson long sword, then Crya's is a jade long sword.

 Clutching a sword of a clear hue reminiscent of a green pillar stone (emerald), Cryer is about to utter a statement for drawing the sword.

 But there was one who moved faster than such a cria.


 --Gashi,

 It's a good thing that you've got a good idea of what you're doing.

 Interrupted, Klimt stared at his superior with bloodshot eyes. A small-minded person would have fainted from this gleam in his eye alone. But Goz caught Klimt's fury without moving a single eyebrow.


''Let go, Shiba!

Calm down, Klimt.

I'm calm!

Look at my sister.

...what?


 Hearing Goz's words, Klimt looked at his sister as if in a panic. And then he found his sister there, who was holding her mind-dressing at the ready, and his lips were twisted.

 He immediately guessed why his sister had manifested the mind-dressing.


''I'm ... sorry, Shima. I've calmed down this time.

Hmm.


 Hearing Klimt's slightly lowered voice, Goz let go of the wrist he was holding.

 It's a good thing that you're able to get the most out of this article.

 The reason why he didn't say so aloud is because he understood that the restraint he had just received was courtesy of Goz.


 No matter how much it was for the purpose of avenging the demon, if he had turned the tables on his sister by being hurt and then wielded his heart outfit and slaughtered the people of another country, neither the Gokens, the main family, nor the Berch family, his family's family, would be silent.

 Klimt, who had returned to Onigashima, would undoubtedly have been heavily punished. It is highly likely that Cryer, who failed to stop his brother's rampage, will also be punished.

 Goz was able to stop Klimt on his own so that he wouldn't be punished for his outburst.

 Cryer, sensing the same thing as his brother, quickly stepped forward. He bowed his head to Goz.


"Shiba, I want to thank you.

There is no need to thank us for that. Now, get ready, both of you, for your hearts.

Yes, immediately.


 I'm not sure if it's a good idea to put away your heartpack or not," he said, blinking his eyes in a stupid voice.

 Now, Goz said, put away the heartpack. Not "put away" but "put away".

 Klimt, too, was surprised to see a questioning look on his face.

 I'm not sure if I misunderstood the order, but Cryer was puzzled by it and confirmed it.


''..........Shiba, did you say to prepare your mind gear?''

Such as.


 Goz's eyes did not look at Cryer in response. He is not looking at Klimt either. But that doesn't mean he's looking at the fallen sorcerer.

 The rigid warrior was still looking at the southern sky.

 And.


................------ "Coming.


 Such words were uttered.

 Then, as if those words were triggered, the roar of the winged beasts roared in the sky of Ishka.

 Hearing this, Belch's sister and brother looked at the southern sky as if they had been played.

 The three of them could see the figure of a winged beast (wyvern) approaching from the south at a furious pace.

 Its scales were a bright indigo color.
