You can't take it down like this, can you?

　Aurelian stood up leisurely, even though he was completely pierced through his chest.
　When I looked at her, the wound on her chest was also closed.

"You........you know what it means to disobey me, right?

　Aurelian grins.
　Even though he used a large amount of magic earlier, Aurelian doesn't show any signs of fatigue.

'Kurt, what do you mean?'
'Foolish King Aurelian you looked like you died from Kurt's magic earlier...'

　Lara and Cynthia give me an uneasy look.
　Frightened, they grabbed my arms from both sides.

'For the umpteenth time, we're in a magical place. It's probably because of that.

　This is not reality, this is a place of magic.
　There are times when 'logic' such as the laws of physics do not apply.
　Even if you give them an attack that would normally kill them, if Aurelian thinks "I won't die", they can revive as many times as they want.
　In that case........it's still tricky.

'Sink into despair.'

　Aurelian releases the same magic again.

　Absolute Ray.
　Countless rays of light fell on us.

'You're late.'

　But I immediately created the same magic to offset its power. A thousand more rays of light hit the Aurelian.
　The Aurelian screams as his body completely disappears.
　Instant death.

　But..........

"I'm not going to give up like this, okay?　Otherwise, I'm not going to show up in the world 500 years after death.

　Particles of light appeared in patches, and they gathered into a human form.
　And then........in the blink of an eye, they were resurrected as 'Aurelian'.

''I suppose.''

　After all, he had been harboring a strong grudge for five hundred years and had emerged as a magical vision.
　Aurelian's heart will not be broken by a small matter.
　Moreover, Aurelian knows that this is where his mind resides. And the art of using it.

"No matter how much I attack you, you will not be defeated.

　At those words, Lara and Cynthia show a puzzled expression.

''What.............................What are we going to do?　Do you mean we're going to die here?
'There are opponents that even Kurt can't beat...'

　They shuddered.

　I stroked their heads with both hands to reassure them.

'I won't lose, though. But being beaten by me won't break Aurelian's heart. Then it's impossible to win.
But then!

　Lara's expression was pathetic.

　I looked at her face and huffed a laugh.

'What, don't worry about it. I knew this much from the beginning. That's why I had the second(ish) arrow at the ready.

　Aurelian raised an eyebrow at my words.

'The second arrow...?　Just because you can't beat me, doesn't mean you can't give me some bullshit.
'I can't believe you think this is horseshit. You're just a lowlife.

　I say provocatively, and I point behind Aurelian.

'Look out that window. You'll see an interesting sight.
?

　Aurelian turned around and looked out the window.

'Nah, nah...!　This!

　He approaches with a wobbly step and puts his hands against the window.
　His eyeballs nearly pop out. His face turns pale and white.

"Didn't you notice it until it happened?

　I continue, I tell him.

'Looks like your ambitions end here, Foolish King.

　The same as in the past.

　I've used consciousness sharing magic with Riley beforehand.
　Thanks to that, a vague vision of Riley and the others appeared in my mind.


''What's this?
And f*ck you!　I feel like I could do anything now...!
'I've never been able to use magic very well and now it looks like I can use any magic I want!


　The Revolutionary Army is in an uproar.
　The Revolutionary Army is overwhelmed against the Royal Army that comes one after another.
　Some are wielding great swords to exterminate the enemy, others are using massive magic to destroy them.


　--Oh Kurt this is your power, isn't it?


　I can feel Riley's thoughts.
　Me and Riley are strongly connected to each other through consciousness sharing magic. That's why our intentions are flowing backwards like this.

　Riley looks up at the castle towering at the back of the city.
　I don't think he has any idea where I am.......but just in time, Riley's face was turned towards us, so I was a little surprised.

''Riley-sama!　Watch out!

　One of the men in the Revolutionary Army speaks up.
　Even as Riley is overcome with emotion, the enemy attacks.
　The demon has turned its fangs on her back.

　However.

''Hmm, I'm aware of that much.

　An unstoppable flash.
　Riley turned around and swung his sword, cutting the attacking demon in two with a single blow.

''As expected of you, Riley-sama.''
'No, it's all thanks to Kurt. Kurt gave me this kind of power before he left.

　As he said this, Riley looked at the battle situation.
　Riley watches the battlefield as the Royal Capital Army is helpless. On the other hand, the Revolutionary Army's rapid advance continues.

　But.........their power is being used only to keep the peace.
　They have turned into a mob and are not even trying to loot the money. Moreover, it never tried to touch the innocent people left in the royal city.

　On the contrary.

Come on!　I will protect you all!

　He had taken the initiative to guide and help his people.

　Not all the residents of King's Landing were supporters of the Foolish King Aurelian.
　Even if they were to be expelled from here now, they have nowhere to go...they won't let you leave the royal capital in the first place...For these reasons, the people of the royal capital have been living desperately despite being oppressed.

　The residents of King's Capital looked up at Riley and the others, their eyes shining.
　The people are all shabbily dressed. I'm sure you'll be able to find a good deal more than you think. They may not be getting enough nutrition.
　I have read in the literature that the Aurelian taxed the residents heavily.
　That's why the people of King's Landing have welcomed the revolution.

'But ... the revolution isn't over yet.

　Riley exclaimed as he roused himself and slapped himself on the cheek with both hands.

'Men and women, we're almost there!　A new era is near!

　When I blasted that to everyone, there were "ooohs and aaahs!" from everywhere. A yell went up.

　Hearing that, Riley grabbed his sword again and ran to his enemy.

　◆ ◆

Oh, no.　Why are we, the Royal Army, being overwhelmed...?

　Aurelian staggered back and away from the window.

'What's the matter, weren't you expecting this turn of events?'
Oh, that's impossible!

　Turning around, Aurelian shouts.

'This, I've got a demon on my side this time!　You were in a rock-solid position, remember?　And yet, how could it be so easy!　What the hell have you.......done to me!

　Aurelian's complexion was blue, and his understanding of the unexpected turn of events did not seem to have caught up with him.
　'It's because you underestimated my power,' said Aurelian.

'So I told you.'

　I stepped closer to Aurelian. I had a natural smile on my face.
　To the astonished Aurelian, I assured him, "You'll be defeated the moment you see me.　

The moment you meet me, your defeat is assured. It doesn't matter how much you beg. I'm one step ahead of you, you know.
