The wind was too pleasant to be created by a "demon" called a demon.
　There's no sense of a storm brewing.
　The demon, which follows the wind like a limb, stands supernaturally with its shrunken body size - close to human size - without a trace. It called out to the wind as if it were taming it, as if it were loving it.

　The density of the air increases as if it were blocking a passage that is too huge to be a doorway. The wind, which had nowhere to go, began to create several air currents within the vast room "pocket".
　The wind, a collection of air, is building up in front of the demon.
　The wind, which was supposed to be colorless and transparent, was made visible as an enormous amount of magical power was poured into it.

　The air filling the room began to flow at once to a point. At the center of it, a blue-white point of light is twinkling.
　The way it is mixed with magic and assembled as magic, it would have originally dyed the whole body in fear. They should have felt the usurpation of life that befell them, such as hostility and murderous intent, directly.
　However, there is no doubt that the magic is rather the exact opposite of such a malicious attack, because the amount of information that intervenes is remarkably different from the previous ones.

　The magic created by the demons and the magic created by the magicians - humans. The difference in the process may be significant.
　Even though the event modification called magic is the same, there is one crucial difference. The magic that a person assembles contains a lot of information. Magic is equal to the personal data of that thing, the accumulated experience of living. In other words, it is a kind of proof that defines an individual. In fact, all kinds of information about an individual is proven by the energy body called magic.


　The name that passed in Loki's brain in an instant was muttered in his chest.

　--【The East's New Harmful Qi 《First Material》

　The name that suddenly passed through my brain as a person who cultivates the magic of the lightning system was something I saw in the past when I was researching the octagonal position of the Thunder Emperor. I'm sure that in the classification of magic, or rather in the meaning of its nature, there is always a basic "beginning".
　You'll be able to get a good deal more out of it. There is magic power and [lost characters (lost spells)] in order to put fantasies into reality, and there is a history of inventing theoretical formulas.

　This is because there were many possible possibilities left in magic. Of course, it's an undeniable fact that the impending doomsday of demons, which will remain in the history of mankind, has given magic a lot of possibilities.

　After all, the military diversion of magic had its source of inspiration from fantasy - not creation, but imagination. Needless to say, it made a significant contribution.
　I think this is because it was the earliest stage in the history of magic. The so-called absence of anyone who could handle it, the completion of the magic formula only.

　It's only in recent years that some people have begun to be able to handle it due to the improvement in the level of magicians, but many of them are still considered to be the most difficult to handle.
　In terms of choosing those who can handle it, there is the [Octagonal Position of the Thunder Emperor] first.

　Also, the wind system was created in the early days by comparing it to the four directions of [East, West, North and South].　
　Even though he knew it was magic that would be classified as [Polar Regions], Loki's consciousness never left Ars.

　The fear behind him is out of bounds.
　If he couldn't help himself, it would be more meaningful to turn his entire attention to Ars, even if it ended or began.
　The color of the tears that flowed on either side of him struck Loki's chest and appealed to more emotion than he could see.

　The feeling that something big is going to change from here is now almost certain.
　A big, small first step for himself and for Ars.

　The wind ruffles Ars's hair, making Loki's hair curl up.
　Even though the ends of the hair may interfere with his vision, Loki's eyes firmly catch Ars's eyes.
　Loki delivers a powerful whip to his body to make Ars, who stands there stunned, take the first step.

'Let me help you, Al.

　Back to the original point, the original goal.
　But it came out of Loki's mouth, sounding as if he had forgotten about it.

　The mission of rescue is a simple matter for Ars, who believes in it more than anyone else. Loki believes in it and never doubts it.
　His belief in the world's strongest doesn't stem from his reputation as the number one, but rather from his belief in the world's strongest in Loki.
　Hence.

With Al, you can always do whatever you want!

　The one who longed for this outside world of demons more than anyone else was Ars. A wizard, the guardian of humanity, was able to notice the wonderful world of the outside world.
　Loki knows, because it's Ars, not the first, that he couldn't have realized it if it weren't for Ars.

　How many times had he been made to believe that his little life was meant for this man?
　Loki had even begun to think of himself as Ars's "go-to guy.
　I would like to get to know him better and see more of him, and spend more time with him.
　I would like to spend time with him.

　However, Loki's wishes were in vain, and Ars didn't show any response.

(--!　(My eyes...)

　One eye of Ars standing there like a shell. A normal eye that was about to be covered as if it had been inked off.
　The bright, deep-colored eyes were now mostly dyed jet black. Cracks like cracks appeared, and the eye lurking in the back as if it was being peeled off, peeked out.

　The eyeball was not completely cracked. I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot more information on this topic.
　Black, stagnant tears poured out from behind the cracked eyeball. The black drops that pooled on the lower eyelids and leaked down became the incarnation of a small 【Gras Eater】 and swam aimlessly through the air just as before.

　Loki does not miss that small change. The [New Eastern Harmful Qi, First Material] is an indiscriminate realm magic with no directionality. To be precise, directionality exists, but it gives several flows and achieves an infinite orbit that circles the sphere in multiple directions. Its influence is an erosional interference with the orbital control of matter.
　It is said to be the breath that washes the earth, [Newly born harmless air of the East, First Material] is to take away the inertia of an object. And the action of the force is proportional to the airflow of the sphere it creates.

　In other words, instead of duplicating the target's positional information, it could directly interfere with the positional information.
　If it were to manifest in such a closed space, all of the material as an individual would be forced to follow the airflow's trajectory and would be crushed against a wall.
　The location may not be good. I'm not sure if this is the right place for it, because the purpose of this magic is to force the object to leave.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on. I don't think the reasoning of a magician would really apply to a demon opponent, though.
　Loki was able to notice that the movement of the [Violent Predator (Gla Eater)] began to become more active very early on. It probably isn't reacting to hostility or killing intent. The simple purpose of eating magic power must be said to be vague at the same time.
　It is something that could be controlled as a control of Ars, but the essence of it should be the thing that eats magic power.

　That may be why they didn't react to the [New Generation Harmful Air of the East 《First Material》] at the beginning of the composition, which is diluted in terms of magic power. Or maybe Ars had firmly held the reins up to that point.
　But now, [Gura Eater]'s movements are clearly aware of the demon. Black magical power drips from his mouth, as if he is drooling.
　Although weak, the black magic power that has an ego is beginning to prey on the other party's magic power as if it were to pinch and devour it.

　The [Gura Eater], which enlarges with every pulse, opened its mouth only with a pucker. A pitch-black magical power was spat out from the back of his mouth as if he were vomiting, and the tip of it cracked and opened wide at once.

　Ars's knees fell to the ground as he crashed down with a thud.
　The unfocused black twin eyes were pouring ineffectively into the demon in a white face that seemed to have been drained of its soul.

(-- swallowed)

　The reason I intuitively realized that was because the activation of the [Gura Eater] and Ars's consciousness became inversely proportional and weak.
　At the same time, a feeling similar to unearned anger suddenly surged within Loki.
　There was also impatience. But..........

''There's no such thing, is there?

　Loki shook Ars's body, which didn't show even a twitch, as best he could, and squeezed out his voice while snatching it away.
　Maybe it was his own interpretation.
　But Loki saw that Ars seemed to have abandoned the choice itself. He had the power to stand up to anything, but he turned his face away from the unacceptable scene that was projected in front of him - in front of his vision.

　Loki looked at Ars head-on tightly, as his emotions dictated.
　Then he thrust out and dropped his face between his arms, which grabbed his clothes, without any effort.
　He turned his head down.

I'm for running away. I agree with deciding to defeat it and carrying it out. If it's something Al has chosen on his own, I'll show him how to walk barefoot, even if it's a thorny path. But you can't pretend you didn't see it.......I don't want you to do that......

　No, I'll pretend I didn't see it, and maybe I wanted it to be my own decision, even that.
　Loki's eyes were damp when he found out.
　Maybe the words he spat out in his muddled head were just a selfish request.
　Still, Loki could assure him that this choice would not be possible if it was the usual Ars.

　So I'm going to make a concrete statement. I want you to take a good look at it with your eyes once again.
　Loki looked up vigorously and cut his tears. Then he turned his head back and pulled his head back and recoiled, hitting Ars in the forehead.

　The impact that could even cause a concussion pierced his brain with a dull sound. This degree, for Loki, did not go within the pain, and was a neat tonic.
　Then Loki looked at both of Ars's eyes at close range with his forehead pressed closely together.
　The white conjunctiva - the white eyes - were stained black to the point that it was impossible to see most of them, but fortunately not all of them.

　Loki looks deep into his eyes without losing his hard-willed expression.
　Blood runs down through his eyebrows from his bumped forehead, as if it had been ripped open by the head butt.

''Argh!''
