What are you trying to do, Zephyr? Didn't I save you from those observers?

...Oh yes, I did. But didn't I also give you the God of Vengeance potion?

'Come to think of it........ That's why you're holding me back?　Patrick, Sierra. Even you guys.

　Sierra and Patrick had no answer.

'It was Victoria, the Academy of the End, who deployed the Church of the Mages to Banome, which means it was a conspiracy by the little bastards there. That's how they've been monitoring and disenfranchising the mages for ages. That's right!

Yes," said Adams in a lukewarm voice. I am the one who created the system of the Eightfold King. I sent Zemeckis to make it happen.

'Zemeckis took the power of Ixos and did whatever he wanted with it. That means that was his order too.

'You cannot make a conscious being completely obey you. Zemeckis will sooner or later grow greedy.

Did you hear that, boys! He said to everyone present. ''That means that all the scourge that Yaki has brought about so far has been caused by this Adams!

That's not true.

...What? I turned around and saw Adolph. 'Adolph?'

'Amadeus no, Masamune, that's not it. I was the one who once released the White Dragon of Yagi into the field. Lord Adams sent Zemeckis and Uranos to try to stop it.

　Uranos defeated the White Dragon of the Eightfold Dragon. Amidst the heroes being born, the Eightfold King was born at the suggestion of Zemeckis, who appeared calling himself the Church of Magicians.
　The White Dragon of the Eightfold was an experiment, says Adolf. He wanted power on a large scale, he said.
　With that, Adolph found Uranos.

'It was I who killed Gaia,'

　Gaia is the former king of Dahms Ardan - Schneizel's sister and the wife of Uranos.

'It was palpable to me how Uranos could break my heart. As he had hoped, he destroyed the first Dahms Ardan and built an empire there. The superstition of the world's collapse brought about by the Black Dragon and the power of the observers that emerged from it taught Gaia to come back to life. It was easy to manipulate those whose minds were broken.

　Adolf said. 'Master Adams didn't manipulate the bannome into doing whatever he wanted. He gave a helping hand where he needed it. That's all. The Church of the Magicians, the eighteenth, everything was for peace.

You are a child.

　It was Oswald. It's like I'm remembering his great-lookin' face.

"A child has become a man in its infancy.

　Oswald pointed his white wand at me.

"I bind you with this sealing wand. I have traveled all over the world, not only in Bannome, to create it. It is the memory of many of our allies who possessed skills with sealing effects.

　Adams said. 'You cannot save me now. Farewell, King of the Abyss.

　Everyone gathered there is staring at me. They are disgusted. They are looking at me with a faint, serious look in their eyes, as if they are not serious enough. Emotions bordering on disgust.
　

'Alford's regret is here to be vindicated!

　When Zeke said this, Eliza's eyes widened.

'All of us, then, all of us, join forces and hold them down!

　After such a call from Adams, from next to him, "Can I help you? I heard Romero's voice say.
　'You can cut a thread like this at any time.

'I don't see...'

　You people are--

You don't see it, you people!

　My voice became the center of my voice, and a wind pressure ran across the earth.

'Ichijo. You're going to help me, right?

　Ichijo doesn't change his expression.

'Patrick we're friends, aren't we?

Nito, I'm....

　Patrick squeezed his eyes tightly shut. The next time he opened them, the faintest hesitation was gone.

'To me, Sierra was the first otherworldly person, to say the least. She was the first otherworldly person I got close to.

'Masamune. Please be sealed now for the sake of peace.

　The green thread that stretches from Sierra's palm to mine contains the magic of the wind.

'O King of Betrayal,' says Adams. 'You have betrayed everyone. Everyone who believed in him. That is why this state of affairs was born, to be stretched.'

　Oswald said. 'I knew this would happen,' said Oswald. ─ I knew this would happen, and it is the role of adults to control their children. I have committed myself to this magic and I am sealing you in.

　It's over. I'm done. I'm done. This is the end.
　One by one, we're going to go through the motions, one by one, and say something cheesy and unimportant. You seal me up and it's over. It's over. The darkness is gone. Peace is restored. That's a relief.
　You are a short-term obsession with folly. I am not interested in how something like me came to be.
　I don't see I don't see I don't see I don't see I don't see I don't see I don't see.

"You blind people--!

　I screamed until my throat hurt.







I knew it was going to happen.

　Sarah, the Fire Spirit King, had appeared above Patrick's head.
　Masamune turned his furious eyes on Sarah who muttered. He was about to jump on her at any moment.

　Above Fiora's head was Boruto, the spirit king of lightning, above Eliza's head was Undine, the spirit king of water, above Zephyr's head was the spirit king of earth, and above Sierra's head was Sylph, the spirit king of wind.
　The five threads restraining Masamune glowed red, yellow, blue, white, and green, respectively. The restraints tightened. But Masamune's expression remained the same.

'You blind men lose your initiative in the face of consequences and causes you are not interested in.

　Pointing to each of them in front of him, Masamune murmured, "Mannequin, mannequin, mannequin, mannequin.......
　A worried Romero asked, "Your Majesty? I called out. Then Masamune blurted out, "Let's just seal him up.

"Let's just be sealed up," he grinned.

"What in the world do you mean...

　He turned to a bewildered Romero and said, "In return, I'll open the main gate for you.

It's... What a pleasure.

　Masamune snickered.
　The memory of his lost half-velocity was inherited. It was easy for Masamune to reveal the gates of the Temple of Consciousness.

''My goodness...''

　Adams was immensely disappointed and lost consciousness to it above.
　A number of black doors had appeared to hide the blue sky. They were aligned like paved tiles, lengthwise and crosswise, widthwise and closed. The vertical stretches all the way to the top of the clouds and the horizontal is endless. Countless.

Oswald, you must do it!

　At the sound of Adams' voice, Oswald ran out with his staff in his backhand. With the old man closing in on him, Masamune told Romero to stay out of it.
