Ilyce's hood is rolled up in the wind that erupts from below by the fall, revealing her true face. The hair, which could be up to the shoulder blades, is dancing around exposing a section. At first glance, the thin, golden-stranded blonde was tinted crimson toward the ends of her hair. Her amber eyes are sharp like those of a bird of prey, but her skin has the clarity of a true child. Those who didn't know her would mistake her for a mere victorious child if they saw her. She has a petite physique that seems to reach 150cm in height.
　She has a fresh body that shows no signs of aging.
　It's not something to be called haggard about. It's a shame.
　Of course, he understands that there is no room for growth. He or she has been as it is for the past 100 years.

　It's a good idea to take off your cloak and let the violent rush of magic flow through you as you wait for the time to fall before you land. Then he grabs the hilt of the sword at his waist and pulls it out.
　But it was only the hilt that existed and from that point on...................there was no sword blade.

''First of all, it's a poisonous summoner!
Don't let you get anywhere near me at your own risk.
'Who's going to give it to you? It's just the perfect prey for your sorrows.

　The muscles of one hand swelled up strangely as it landed, and the hilt raised from underneath had a long sword blade that stagnated the space. It split the giant snake in half as it split the ground and created a crack far into the distance, splitting it in half.
　But the body is quickly attached to it due to the liquid, and it's furiously heading towards it... A pillar of fire erupted from underneath the ground it split at the same time as it regenerated.

''Kgaaaaaa!

　The entire body was engulfed in industrial fire and a strange scream was heard as the serpent's body evaporated, while the lion, which turned its huge body into an electric shock, swung its claws down in the blink of an eye, imminent.

''Ha!　Nurina.

　The claws that should have torn his shoulder apart stalled without touching his skin. Rather, they were antagonistic as if they were blocked by an unseen wall.
　Ilyce knows that it is [Storm Armor], but the summoned beast is also a high level magic. I thought that it would not have been possible to completely prevent the blitz, but a spare smile - or rather, a smile as if enjoying it - could be seen on Hazan's face.
　Ilyce saw that it was due to his quaintness, as if he enjoyed the fight. Since this is the man, he must be intending to be just a moderate spice.

　The high-density storm that he wore became even more bloated and cut down the claws of the blitz.
　The lion who can't bear to turn his body into an electric shock and retreat.

''-----!

　But soon after, a thin ice-gravel snatched Hazan's cheek. His cheek was cut because he had broken the magic, and although he had only torn a thin layer of skin, a thin layer of blood seeped through.
　Hazan immediately turned around. This is because she is the only strain in this direction in this place, though.
　Ilyce pointed to the sky ahead.

'Because you play.

　Turning around, countless varieties of magic flew into Hazan's vision.
　He gritted his teeth and the veins in his temples floated up with a creak.

'Yuck!

　The rage spat out like a roar creates a shock-breaker that shakes the atmosphere and sends all magic flying.
　The shock that vibrated the air interferes with the magical formula's composition itself.
　[Shock of Configuration Destruction [Roots Actor Break]] is a magic that is even considered forbidden among the highest level. It was also the strongest magic in Hazan's hand.
　The lightning beasts caught in that impact also dissipate into the residue of magic power.

''d*mn, that's indiscriminate magic.

　Ilyce overflowed with one when he saw that the protective barrier he was wearing had disappeared.
　Even if he was talking to himself, it was the volume of voice that reached Hazan's ears, yet he is looking at a point.

''I'm going to kill you!''
Hey, that's enough. We're leaving.

　There was no sign of the magic power subsiding from Hazan, who was the killing force.

''No!　I'll take them down myself!

　Immediately after uttering that one word, Hazan felt the magic from his back, as if he had been pushed by a storm, and slowly turned around.

''That's why being the kid's keeper is so tiring. This time it's a request I took. I won't listen to your personal opinion. If you're going to be a spoiled baby, I'll deal with you.
'Tch ... hah ... okay, okay - but!

　Gripping the hilt tightly, he swung with all his strength in the direction the magic had flown. A huge slash clad in a wind blade flew right beside him and ran through the burned out field, cutting through the trees into a forest of trees.
　Ilyce endured it as if it was just before an eruption.

(I won't team up with this guy again.)

　I made up my mind and gave up on the fact that the next time I tried anything, an eruption would be inevitable.

I'm going to leave quickly. It seems that the other side is also trying to figure out what we're going to do, so if we don't do anything, we can avoid a collision for now. If we don't do anything, though!

　It's possible that it's already too late for the brainiac idiot.

　He let out a breath through his nose as if to say that Hazan had lost his entertainment, turned away, and picked up the fallen cloak.

'-------!
Ho.....

　The surgeon, Hazan, would naturally have noticed. He gripped the cloak in his hand tightly and turned his face to the point where he fired the slash as if it had been played.
　Ilyce couldn't explain what had happened or what he had done either, but no doubt the slash that Hazan would have released had dissipated where it was. No, maybe vanishing was more accurate.

　The tall trees start to lean across the board.
　At this rate, they would have better visibility in a straight line distance. Ilyce was just as curious as Hazan, but if they missed this opportunity, it could really turn into a battle.

''Let's go!''
.... d*mn it!

　He must have hesitated and then made his decision. His cloak was proof of that.
　Ilyce took one look at the remains of her fallen subordinates and cast her eyes down for once. She didn't know their names, and she didn't remember their faces, but they had been her hands and feet in the request, so she thought this was the least she could do.
　Hazan didn't care, as he had already forgotten. He would refuse to remember anything worth remembering except for the strongest of them.
　It only took a moment for the two of us to escape from the burnout.

(I wasn't stunned behind the scenes either, but the mundane world seems to have changed a lot.)　

　I've been trying to keep up with the times - especially the development of magic - although I've been buying and refining information in subtle ways.

(Does that mean the world is still small and wide, even if I live for 100 years?)

　An eerie smile is naturally formed behind the hood that I was putting back on.

"Alpha, isn't that interesting? I'll have them make a list of the members.
'You'll have to weigh yourself when you make a request.

　He said it to himself and suddenly fell silent. It was a pause to dig up a vast amount of knowledge - too short to call it a pause, but that's to be expected.
　It was only natural to be wary of the natural enemies of the criminal organization known as Krama, mages who could serve against them as equals. Especially since a single mage is so much more than just a Krama executive to compete with.

　Hazan glanced at the red girl who was running alongside him.

Well, Ilyce knows a thing or two about the world.

　This time I won't spit out any mischievous words as I can ask for a bit of information.

''Oh yeah, well I'm pretty sure the current Alpha is Letty Kultunka and...'' ...There was a wizard named Ars Regin, the current number one,

　Even in Ilyce, I only knew him by name. That was also because the mage named Ars had never appeared on the surface. Not many of the ones I saw in person, even in Alpha.
　Criminals could only get so much information on him, but that was probably inevitable. I asked for it and paid for it, but I'm not stupid enough to divulge information about my country and other countries to my enemies and criminals. Now, this position was palatable.
　But at the same time, I felt a surge of relief that it didn't turn into a battle.

(I'll give that monster to them or I'll negotiate for money over here.)

　Ignoring Hazan, who was smiling a smile worthy of a combat idiot, Ilyce switched his thoughts.


　♢ ♢


　The simultaneous activation of magic by Ars and Letty, the shockwave of the airborne detonation (detonation) induced detonation shakes the trees, and the various leaves attached to them are swallowed by the irresistible wave and dance. Many trees are crushed to the side and broken.
　The pallor blew in the wind.
　In contrast to Letty, who looks satisfied with the bright reddish distant view, Ars frowned.

''Don't fall behind in lineage specialization, after all.

　Letty is of the fire lineage, but she mainly specializes in explosions and the like. That means that for that prominent lineage person, even the same magic is inferior in Ars outside the lineage.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them. They are almost as good as each other. How strong do you intend to become?
Don't tell me you've created a large swath of barren land.

　He should probably accept the accolade of being strong with an open mind, but Ars was convinced that he wouldn't be able to get past Letty with this magic.

''Oh well. More importantly........next!''

　The magic power is circular as support for the fact that it can't be defeated in Ars's other field of view. Of course, even if you don't do that, if the sphere is this huge, you should be able to see it if you have good vision.

''I've been waiting for you, captain!
I'm ready to go, too.

　Next to Sajik, a hulking thunder lion with a stature well over his height was manifesting, and a viper, a viper (hydra), floating in the air a little farther away from Mugel, who said he was well-groomed, was waiting for him.
　At Ars's signal, he thrust out his hand.

　The Thunder Lion dodged the trees with dexterity, jumped over them, turned its body into electricity and moved away in the blink of an eye. The viper, the Hydra, ran in waves through the air. It swam through the air without feeling any obstructions, but it was a terrific speed.
　Both belong to the higher level of summoning magic, but both the Thunder Lion and the Viper 《Hydra》 are disaster-grade vicious summoning beasts. I'm honestly surprised that you can use them.

''Another wave of no good..............Release!

　The rest of the squad's magic was aimed high in the sky and shot out. Wary of conflicts, it wasn't much in terms of power, but it wouldn't be a problem if they crushed it with the amount of material they had.
　Magic rained down like rain.

　However, a roar like a bullhorn immediately shook the air.

''What's going on?!''
"The magic is gone...

　Ars pulled out some magic in his brain that would have the same effect.
　And the relevant magic names gave him a headache.
　I narrowed it down to the magic that nullifies the magic with a shock among the several pulled out spells.

(Krama, they're even more troublesome than I expected. (Forbidden.............................even using magic that is forbidden)

　In the battle of a mage who assumes a group battle rather than a forbidden one, it could be said to be a meaningless magic, as it nullifies even the magic of his or her companions. However, it would be extremely troublesome if this was used against people.
　Therefore, it is a magic that has been erased from the Daizen.
　It's a memory that is close to the residue of the extent that Ars also saw it when he was allowed to look through the database where all the magic on the Daizen was recorded before.
　I look over at the faces of the stunned troopers, but I suppose that's to be expected. They must not understand what happened.

'What do you mean?　I understand that the enemy was able to resist that.
'Can you say magic that destroys magic? Anyway, I mean it's magic worthy of a criminal.

　So what to do there.
　Both Ars and Letty have reduced their magic power to some extent with their current magic. Setting things up with Krama now would inevitably be synonymous with abandoning the defeat.

''The fact that you prevented the first detonation is the same, but does that mean that it's not a hoax to say it's comparable to a single? But....it's not every day that you get the chance to fight an opponent of the same rank, you know.

　He looks at Letty with a scrutiny that this guy is also a bit of a battle freak. Ars was dumbfounded, but he reaffirmed his original purpose.

'I'm telling you, I won't do it now. I can't blame you if it bites me in the ass, though. Right now, I'll give priority to defeating the bad food. Otherwise, the dead will be mass-produced at last.
I know that.

　He laughs hollowly at the joke, but Ars has already seen the flickering and tingling fire in his eyes.

'You'll have to advise the Governor if you want to, won't you?

　He adds, "Probably not, though. I don't think you're going to let your country's singles face an opponent who isn't a winner. Unless, that is, they're in a fight with another country, as they were in this case.
　As they exchanged banalities, Ars felt an oppressive sensation looming in the distance.

''-----!''

　After a moment's delay, Letty also realized almost simultaneously - that a mass of magic power was flying in.
　The leaves buzzed at a distance, and later the squad members braced themselves as if they had felt it on their skin. But that's the extent of their perception of what's coming.

　Ars puts a stop to the squad members who were about to start the action with their hands.

(Can you replenish the amount of magic power you used?)

I'll do it.

　Ars, who was in front, waited, AWR back on his hip, because this wasn't necessary.
　They all gave him a quizzical look. But there was a caged feeling of relief. Letty also steps back and watches the outcome.

(In any case, considering the rate of the demons, these guys will find out.

　So it's only the difference between early and late. Using the different abilities now is simply to replenish the magic power. If you absorb too much of it, you'll have to devote your consciousness to controlling it, but you can afford to lose it to the extent that you've lost it.

　I held out my hand, and a huge slash of wind aimed right at the side of the tree appeared there, shredding the tree trunk as if it were raging wildly, but - the moment I touched it, the vicious slash disappeared as if it were sucked into my hand. All that was left was a gentle breeze that caressed his skin.
　Ars can feel the magic power stored in his body with satisfaction.

(Stupidly loaded with magic power, well, that allowed me to replenish it more than I expected, but...)

　The swearing also drew my arm back slightly from the more than expected magic. The arm drew a small circle while absorbing the power as if to kill it.

''----!　What was that?
That's a trade secret but the magic is replenished now.
Does that mean you're a magic that absorbs?

　It certainly absorbs, but not at the root. It eats magic power.
　However, since I can't teach it generously, it's very welcome to be mistaken.
　Ars perceives with the other vision. The two reactions move away from each other.

'Looks like this is the last time we're going to have to get back to our original mission.

　I hawked my way forward as if nothing had happened. It's because Lynne is slumped to the ground, waist-deep in the middle of where we're headed. His face is stuttering in awe. Her eyes are still closed, so her eyesight must not have been restored.
　When I walked up to him, he broke his hip and said, "Please keep what you just felt a secret. I don't like rough stuff," he held up one finger in front of his mouth. I can't see it - but I'm sure you perceive it as an outline.
　It is Linne's soil to perceive the magic of Ars's otherness, the movement of magic, even if only for a moment. It would be difficult to accurately grasp it if it was a single, but not her.
　If she was detecting the movement of magic power, then she should have a good idea of what happened in the current moment. It was at least a misunderstood absorption and a power that couldn't be described in one word...............................different power.

''Wow, I see.''
'The unforeseen circumstances took up a lot of time, but Krama drew back. We're back to defeating them as planned...

　Just before I finish, something pushes me from behind, covering me, and I step out and stay. Next, I feel a soft sensation from my back, which must be distorting the shape of my body because I've pushed into it. But you also feel a definite rebound.
　Ars stopped his thoughts as he began to anticipate it on his own.

'Ahaha!　Al-kun is amazing after all. You truly deserve to be first, it's outrageous!
Hey!
'I wasn't crazy enough to think that you're this strong and still have a hidden gem in your hand~'

　Letty hugs him from behind, delighted that she has tugged on his heartstrings.
　It's not visible from Ars, but with a fascinating look.

'Are you really going to go after your sister too?
Hey, man. Later!　We're still on a mission.
It's stiff.　That's counterproductive. My motto is to be happy when you should be happy.
That's a new one.

　The faces of the squad members, who seemed to be dumbfounded by Ars's gaze as they called for help, all looked back and forth from side to side.

'Please tolerate him, Lord Ars, after all, he's been tense all the way in Banaris.
Yeah, I've been seriously considering crying to Master Arus at every turn.

　Sajik rubbed his chin with a human smile as Mugel chuckled and pleaded with him.

　Letty, who had been bringing her face closer to the back of her head to rub her cheek, jerked up and down, stopping the up and down motion with a jerk.

'----!　You can't tell me that now, can you?　When we get back to Vanaris, I'm going to throw you out on the front lines.

　Slowly, Letty's face turns to the two who have needlessly interfered. A pressure similar to a gusher of magical power can be seen there. They can't flush it down as a joke - especially Mugel, who points to himself to check, but he gets an unrelenting nod of the head and nodded in return.
　''You're not happy?'' The two men pulled their mouths into a heap and soundly straightened their posture at the word "I".
　A look of sympathy for such a squad member is directed at him by his companions, but it's from the safety zone where he won't fly.

''Huh!　We've tried to get them to cooperate, though.

　''Hey~,'' he throws at Ars as if to ask for his agreement, but he tries his best to keep quiet.
　You should be happy if you see it, but for some reason, you can't rejoice honestly. It's a good idea to have a good time with them.　

　I looked around at the faces that didn't seem to be engaging with each other.

You can't show your subordinates that you're not up to the task, can you?

　It's too late for that, Ars thought, but he didn't say it aloud.
　It's a good idea to take off the ring-shaped AWR on the ring finger of your left hand without losing your smile, as you untie your arms and get off.
　It's a move that remains very much like an act. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do with it.

　I didn't feel the need to go out with him, so I took the confirmation before deciding on a policy once I was free of the weight.

'Lynne, how is your eye?'
What? Yes, sir!　It's still going to take some time.

　My brain may still be running full blast for speculation, but I'll have to let it go.
　We don't have time to waste, so we decide to speed up and head for our destination.
　Since we are half way there, we should be able to see the deposit in a while.
　Of course, if the map is accurate.
