A moment later, about to be swallowed by a wave of earth.
　Fresh water gushed out of nowhere from around Ilyce. An overwhelming volume of blessed water spewed out of the ground, space and nothing else.
　The water overflowed rapidly, like a hole in the bottom of the ocean.

　Flooding, inundation, is just the result of the violent, overwhelming volume of water. That was the reality of what was happening.

　An arch of earth that made a long way.
　But the reason why it refuses to swallow any more is because the water contained therein has far exceeded its capacity. Without waiting for the water to rush in like a tsunami from the edge, the earthen walls ran cracks and the river broke without being able to bear it for even a moment.

　Ilyce floated at the top of the water that spewed out like a fountain, so that he could support his feet.

　Floating in the air, Ilyce held magical light in her arms and lifted her hands from her waist to her chest. It was a sensational sight. Most of all, those who saw it would have seen the clear, shimmering light of water shimmering in one eye at the end of the lifted arm.
　And a geometric formula flowed in the back.

''The Undersea Paradise (Amtares).''

　A vast amount of water transforms its form into a myriad of fish. Their shapes vary, they have tails, fins, and pointed teeth. But uniformly, the eyes are absent.
　It is made of water, so that the sunlight penetrates its body. And it twists its body through the sky as if it were in water, and its fins provide propulsion.

　The shape of a fish, but it never seemed to be real. Because it orbited around Ilyce as if it were rising to the heavens, with a protruding mouthpiece and an unusually long beard. It's a creepy creature that lacks reality and is even fantastic.
　[Salem's Ship's Eye], the most significant phenomenon of which is said to create life.

"I haven't seen that magic before.

　Until now, due to their work, they have had the opportunity to see each other's magic, no matter if they are executives of Krama.
　In that sense, Ilyce and Hazan have a lot of magic that is known for convenience.

　Ilyce, pushed up high, rides on top of the created blister and looks down at Hazan as if he were looking down.
　Hazan's elation is taut on his face, and his cheeks are still lifted.
　But such carelessness is backed up by the battle prowess that Ilyce has put on in general as well as his reputation.

　It is the next moment when the mad battle frenzy lowers its cheeks.

　A wall of earth that becomes hollow and disappears.
　Two water fish emerged from that darkness. Shaking their bodies and perhaps smelling the scent of magic power, the snake-like fish snaked their way out.

''--!

　Each of the two arms were bitten, and in an instant, blood was taken into the water fish's body. The color of the body slowly turned a light red as blood dripped onto the paper.
　As it is, Hazan's huge body was lifted up and pushed up into the air. As soon as I saw it, Ilyce became smaller and smaller. The fish that bit into both arms are shaking their heads, trying to tear the whole arm off.

　Below, the water fish that was circling around Ilyce has given up its will and just drifted in the air, not moving slightly, and immediately afterwards, Ilyce looks at the hazan that was pushed up.
　All the water fish start to move in unison as they follow his gaze. There is not the slightest trace of graceful swimming, not even a side glance, and they are just seeking food.

'Devour them!'

　When the water fish gathering overhead were close enough to hide Hazan's huge body.

'Tch!

　The gathered crowd was torn lengthwise. Its long sword blade sliced off one of Ilyce's arms.
　Of course, Hazan knew that such a degree would not lead to damage.

　The moment Ilyce's falling arm touched the ground, it popped as water. There was no distortion in Ilyce's face. The wound only shook like the surface of the water, instantly overflowing, and the shape of the arm was added to it, regaining the color of her skin.
　With one swipe of his wet arm, the droplets of water flew off.

　The next moment - a shockwave spreads as it pushes against my skin. It escaped the interior of his body and emanated through the gaps. Madness is his forbidden, his specialty.

　All the fish return to water, and in the air, the water also returns to magical power. Naturally, Ilyce's foothold is gone, and she manages to land on the ground.
　Shortly after that, an ostentatious sound was heard that even made the ground roar.

　If you look, you can see the teeth marks from both of Hazan's arms, and blood is pouring out of the holes.
　However, Hazan didn't let that level of injury go to his teeth, and his smile thickened into a pure smile in battle.


''Tsutsui, tsutsui. That's why I can't stop!''

　While keeping Hazan in sight, Ilyce made sure that the healing he had applied to Loki had not been released. It is a forbidden magic that destroys the composition of magic, but the healing that Ilyce used is not magic.
　In other words, it's magic and it's a part of the body.

'Wasting a life is not a wise choice, my dear.
'Tell me, I'll decide if it's a waste of time or not. It's the best day of my life.

　Looking up to the heavens, an ugly smile on his mouth as he looked up at Hazan with a grateful, ugly smile on his mouth, Ilyce spat out his regret in his mind that he should have killed him sooner.

　However, today would be the last time he would be able to do so.
　Ilyce has no way to atone for the crimes he has accumulated as a criminal. If possible, after eliminating them all, I too.....
　That's what she thought, but she couldn't choose to die in this body. She understood what that meant after a hundred years and realized that she couldn't go back and end it, shamefully, by a boy who had only lived for a dozen years or so.

　So she feels bad, but she chooses a life to protect and a life to reap at all costs.

'This is the last time I'll have to deal with your pleasures. The rest of you can enjoy yourself in hell, though I'm sure I'll be heading there eventually.
Well, we can keep the boredom at bay, can't we? But I'm not ready for all the fun. Ilyce, after I kill you, I'm gonna have to think about it.
.................

　He has already fallen on deaf ears and has no ears to lend. If there was ever going to be an end to this broken man called Hazan, it would be now or never.
　He was even disgusted with him, and now he even feels pity for him.
　The words as a gesture of help naturally leak out of Ilyce's heart with compassion.

'A sigh of relief from the same hole. I'm going to join you for the last time in your pleasure.
Nihil!

　Hazan scratches his own throat with too much amusement. The blood is soaked, but that's not the point. It is truly a scene that could drive you insane.
　At the same time, the magic power overflowing from it is tremendous that makes you understand that he is equal to a single. Magic power, which is an energy body, brings about an effect on reality.
　The pebbles and dust lying on the surface of the ground trembled in small increments as if they were shivering.

''Do you choose to die?''

　Ilyce spilled that calmly. He can't beat himself. He had only thought that the belligerent Hazan himself was aware of this, as he hadn't been able to carry it out until now.
　He would choose pleasure over death -- it felt exactly like him.


　-- and therefore, he couldn't make it sluggish any more.......right!

　Ilyce, who feels both his mission and his role, feeds on the purest of struggles. The fight to protect someone else - it's like going back to the old days. No, it's not the same as before. It's too late to carry the regret, and the weight of the regret has increased. Still, it's far different from the fetters that hold you back.

　The taut, reddish-black magic power that surrounds Ilyce is different from before. I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do anything about it.
　Since the magic power contains a lot of information about its owner, the change of heart, especially when you consider that day that covered many things such as Ilyce, you can understand that the magic power is a mirror that reflects you.
　Above all, it is something that makes Ilyce aware of the change.


　And when Hazan saw that, he sniffed as if he was convinced. The amount of magic that surpassed him showed that its fangs hadn't fallen off, and it was not something to be discouraged about. Rather, he was even glad, to have the opportunity to fight like this.

　That is why, first of all, we must be even in the fight. So evenly, equally, it must be equal.
　The greatest risk - is death. That's why we kill each other bloody. We kill each other because we don't want to be killed. Considering that we are not on the same playing field in the first place, there is no way we can kill each other.

　He runs his hands behind his waist and chuckles inwardly at the fact that the example hasn't been broken yet, and he gently grasps it in his hands. It seems that Mekphis said it was indeed sturdy.
　It is extremely difficult to make an Ilyce opponent chase a hand wound. I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to get my hands on it.

　However, just as you don't know all of the magic that Ilyce uses, it doesn't mean that Ilyce knows everything about Hazan either. Rather, it is because of such caution that the criminals were able to form a clique with each other. If they knew everything, it's not hard to imagine that they would be killed in their sleep.

　I don't think of my opponent as the child he appears to be, not even by the tips of his fingernails. Hazan understood that in a purely magical battle, he would certainly not win. Even without the fact that he was immortal, his knowledge of magic was outstanding. He could probably use a number of magic and other things that Hazan didn't know about.

　In that respect, Hazan has only one or two magic that the other party would not know about. But that was fine.
　Just one thing that the opponent couldn't think about or even anticipate was enough.
　In magical warfare, the opponent was better, Hazan appreciated that, and he was right. But in terms of killing each other, he even felt that he was on the wrong side.
　So if they were killing each other........


　The place where Ilyce was standing now was intentional, but it made Hazan think that he could not be caught off guard after all. Still, there was nothing wrong with that, if it was just to be cautious.

　In order to start the real killings, Hazan would make the first move himself.
　If there's a clear difference between the two of them, it's magic warfare and close combat. You'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for. I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot of good reasons to go for it.

　In the end, it might not matter either way. The thoughts that Hazan puts to work to kill these opponents, this moment is exactly what makes you feel satisfied.
　Hazan, who was running at full speed, showed speed comparable to Loki's [Force] use, not to mention his huge body.


　Of course, even so, Ilyce accurately reads the flow of the attack. Instead of intercepting it, he first accepts it.
　This is not the first time this kind of fight is anything like this.

　The sword blade waved right beside him, unable to even capture his figure. Even the trees in the far distance are exposed to the damage.
　Ilyce, who bent down and avoided it, read his opponent's thoughts.

　She knew that Hazan wasn't so wooden to begin with that he couldn't think of the risk of fighting with all his might against her. That's why what his aim was - an ominous feeling of foreboding crossed her mind.

　In between runs, she flipped her sword and this time unleashed a kesa-slash. I'm not going to be able to get it right.
　It is similarly handled calmly with minimal evasive action. He crushed the next Hazan's appearance up close and personal.
　The ominous feeling of ominousness at the faintly Hazan's legs unconsciously jiggling closer became almost certain, and Ilyce retreated, saying that close combat should be avoided in the first place.

　--[Turbulent Blockade 《Hydrojail》]

　The stalling magic instantly traps Hazan in a water prison. This is the magic that prevented [Airborne Induced Detonation 《Detonation》] when he fought a long-range battle with Ars and others.
　This is essentially not the kind of magic that can be accessed from inside or outside. It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a huge water sphere, but also of how fast it flows and strengthened by magic, so if you try to insert your hand into it, it will be dragged inside and it will never be able to enter your lungs again. Up and down, left and right, up and down, it will be irresistibly tugged by the waves.

　The magic that completed the river of the torrent as a sphere. Everything circulates and rotates endlessly as a sphere.

　However, it can only buy time for a fraction of a second, and knowing this, Ilyce also invoked it, too. Now, it takes distance. That's the only purpose.

　Ilyce retreated backwards in a single step without turning his gaze away from the prison of the water stream he had created. But as soon as your feet leave the ground, a strange feeling of discomfort for Ilyce comes true and hits you.
　Suddenly, something passed through his body.

''Ehh...!

　The only sensation I felt was like a push, running around my waist. Instead of feeling, there was only the awareness that it was being restored. Yes, now my body was about to be restored.
　The appropriate impact, even if it couldn't be fatal, was too great for a small body. Lowering her gaze to her own abdomen, Ilyce couldn't understand what had happened.

　The surface of the water peeked out from the belly that had been ripped open to the side, and water dripped like blood.
　She is clear, but she can't keep up with her understanding of what has happened to her. I haven't missed my gaze for a moment.

　The fact that the giant arm slipped out of the 【Turbulent Blockade <> in this situation where he couldn't even get a sufficient distance away made Ilyce's liver run cold.
　He was late in realizing that the current attack had cut off the composition of the 【Turbulent Blockade】 【Hydrojail】.

　And what a long time it was before his feet left the ground and landed.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this as well.

''--!

　Seeing something clenched in its fist as it tried to hit him, Ilyce shook the examiner's container roughly at his abdomen before he could think of a response, and the contents were scattered.

　A few drops of it entered the wound and were mixed. The sensation of something, a foreign liquid, mixing in his body. The blocked abdomen takes it in as if it were nothing.
　And Hazan, who instantly broke away, had a cunning smile on his mouth as he leapt.

''【Jutsu style retry【Retry】''

　When the magic appeared as a phenomenon, Ilyce didn't need to analyze the magic to understand it. A long slash appeared in front of him in an instant. Something sharp entered diagonally from the shoulder opening and slipped past his waist.
　Yes, the first blow was right next to him, and the second........
　Hazan hadn't even swung the AWR at him. On the contrary, he had put it back on his hip. This must have loosened his vigilance, albeit slightly, on Ilyce. No, it's doubtful that he was able to deal with the degree of loosening of his guard in this moment.

　In other words, 【Jutsu Retry 【Retry】 copied all the programs that made up the slash Hazan fired and immediately memorized them. It doesn't even leave a trace of magic power, and retrospects the exact same magic components.
　

　This is more like the performance of AWR than magic. That's why I couldn't follow the traces of magic power and notice it at the first blow. Reproduction by the program is mainly in accordance with the function of optimization, which AWR has more than the skill of the surgeon. In that sense, it was truly a blind spot.

　Hazan's character is such that forcefulness is his strong point that he doesn't care about minor technical issues.

　If that's the case--.
　Yes, it's possible to deal with it.

　

''Kahaha!!!!''

　The liquid that spewed out in front of me was a bright red color that I could not believe belonged to me. It's not a liquid as clear as fresh water, but something that everyone has inside their body - blood.
