Looking at the pocket watch hanging from my hand, Haruna widened her eyes.
“The spirit of Ophilus… … .”
I glanced back.
“Haruna, do you know about this?”
“There’s no exact name for it, it’s called the spirit of Ophilus.”
“The spirit of Ophilus?”
“It is a device for the user of time magic to record the past. I don’t know the specifics of its purpose, but it is probably what Rudy-sama predicted.”
past… … .
It felt like the puzzle had been put together to some extent.
instrument to record the past.
Perhaps it seemed to use this to fill the loophole in time magic.
As with space magic, time magic was not like divine magic.
A magic used by dedicating memory.
He used magic tools to hide his teeth, but it was no different from magic.
Aryandor was looking at me, biting his molars.
At this, I raised an eyebrow.
“Try time magic.”
He won’t be able to use time magic.
You can turn back time, but then you’ll forget I figured out the trick of time magic.
In that state, if you fight me, who already knows everything, it would be natural for me to win.
I smiled.
Time magic has been completely blocked.
The mana is twisted, so he can’t even use his power properly.
“How about giving up now?”
I offered him surrender.
Even in this situation, people are dying on the battlefield.
If he surrenders, the battlefield can be cleared up quickly and sacrifices can be reduced.
“You don’t want the rebels to be annihilated, do you?”
“Extermination… … ?”
At that, Aryandor bowed his head.
“I will spare the life of the rebels if you are caught obediently.”
“… … .”
Of course, he had no intention of saving Aryandor.
Since there were so many soldiers in the rebels, it was impossible to punish them all, and only the leaders of the rebels were going to be punished as an example.
“What do you think?”
At my question, Aryandor quietly raised his head.
“haha… … .”
Aryandor raised his eyebrows and smiled like a madman.
“Smile?”
“Sounds absurd. There is no way you can accept such an offer.”
I put on an absurd look.
“It’s about saving a colleague… … Any suggestions?”
“colleague? Who is your colleague?”
“What?”
“They are tools. A tool to achieve my goals. Have you ever seen someone sacrifice for a tool?”
tool?
The people you used to be with are your tools?
A vein appeared on his forehead.
“… … Are you more trash than you think?”
“They will think of me as a tool. The rebels and I just had the same purpose, so we’ve been together for a while. and.”
Aryandor’s eyes were dyed with madness.
“I don’t think this fight has been lost.”
He stretched out his hand to the side.
Beatrix was next to him.
“… … .”
Aryandor stretched out his hand, and a light shone on Beatrix.
Haruna’s eyes widened at this.
“It must be stopped!”
This I felt too.
I don’t know why Beatrix was cloned, but there must be a reason why they cloned it.
I had no intention of making it go according to his plan.
As I ran at high speed, Aryandor withdrew his outstretched hand and blocked my way.
“ね!”
Aryandor’s sword and my fist collided.
He frowned and pushed back a little.
I shouted at this.
“Luna!”
“okay!”
Luna immediately opened the magic book to see if she understood my intentions, and put in mana.
“One point explosion!”
A small spark appeared in front of Beatrix and was about to explode.
Aryandor saw that and turned around.
He wrapped his sword around his sword and cut off the rising flames.
At this, I immediately ran towards Aryandor.
“aperture.”
Aryandor, who turned around like that, could not afford to block my attack.
I put mana in my hand and slammed Aryandor down as it was.
Aww!
Aryandor was stuck on the floor.
“Uh-huh!”
He spewed blood from his mouth.
I looked at it for a moment and then turned my head.
At the end of my gaze was Beatrix.
The air around you changed.
The atmosphere I felt for Beatrix itself changed.
“What… … .”
Before I finish my question.
Beatrix moved mana.
And I opened my eyes wide at the words that came out of her mouth.
“Time Bag.”
The words that came out of Beatrix’s mouth.
It was the starting word for time magic.
Beatrix’s body disappeared.
She appeared behind Luna.
There was no way to stop it because it was a time magic that was suddenly used.
“Ah!”
Beatrix tried to stab Luna with the dagger.
“Luna-senpai!”
“Hey!”
Yuni moved quickly and pushed Luna away.
Thanks to him, he avoided Beatrix’s sword.
“You use time magic?”
Then what just happened.
Aryandor passed on the magic of time in the interim.
There was only one way to explain this situation.
I couldn’t understand him.
He cloned Beatrix, which he thought was his purpose, and used it like that.
I clearly thought that his purpose was to resurrect Beatrix.
He thought it was something he had done to revive the family he cherished, but looking at the situation now, that doesn’t seem to be the case.
A person who values people wouldn’t even have said that the rebels were tools.
“Rudy!”
Then Haruna cried.
“… … Okay!”
Luna could not face Beatrix, who used time magic.
“Time Bag.”
Beatrix tried to use time magic again.
“Priscilla!”
I used Priscilla to stop the magic.
Beatrix looked at me as the magic was blocked.
and picked up a dagger.
The dagger had a sword hovering around it.
A body that also uses time magic and uses swordsmanship.
That was actually Beatrix, not Beatrix.
“Imperial swordsmanship.”
Beatrix grabbed the dagger and ran towards me.
“full moon.”
I tried to resist the attack.
at that time.
I saw Aryandor passing by me.
As soon as he looked away for a moment, he got up from his seat.
His sword was aiming at Haruna.
“ね!”
I couldn’t catch Aryandor, who had passed so quickly.
It was blocked by Beatrix in front.
“Ugh!”
Haruna twisted her body to avoid Aryandor’s attack.
However, Haruna could not completely avoid his attack.
Her shoulder was cut by his sword.
Blood gushed out of his shoulder.
The bursting blood was emitting a strong light.
Even though it was obviously red blood, ordinary blood, it gave off a bright light.
Aryandor looked at the light and opened his mouth.
“… … Are you here?”
When I saw that, I immediately ran away.
“Uh-huh!”
I approached at high speed and grabbed Aryandor’s neck.
and gave me strength
“Ugh… … . Cock… … .”
Aryandor struggled as if in pain, and his face grew redder and redder.
He was smiling nonetheless.
“Ugh… …ね!!”
Aryandor struggled with that state.
And as a recoil, I used my foot to aim at the hand opposite me.
Pak!
“ah… … ?”
In his hand was Aryandor’s pocket watch.
Aryandor’s foot hit the pocket watch exactly, and I opened my eyes wide.
Tired!
Suddenly, a huge shock struck my head.
information comes in.
lots of information.
hit my brain
With so much information coming in, I got dizzy.
I lost Aryandor in dizziness, and Aryandor fell from my hand.
“Ugh… … .”
Aryandor let go of my hand and let out a deep breath.
And he looked back.
“It’s here! You can go from here!”
Aryandor shouted at Beatrix.
“Rudy… … !”
Haruna, who was bleeding on her shoulder, looked at me and shouted.
When he says ‘here’, he means that he has found the entrance to the holy land.
I was focused.
I tried to look at Aryandor, ignoring the dizziness and pain.
And he put mana in his hand.
A lot of information entered my head, and even though it was accompanied by pain, I ignored them all and looked at Aryandor.
Beatrix ran to Aryandor.
At the same time, I also took a step towards Aryandor.
“Don’t miss… … not.”
I stretched out my fist.
Mana exploded forward.
────!
“Big… … 100 million.”
My mana pierced Aryandor’s ship.
Mana pierced his stomach, and blood gushed out of his mouth.
When I saw it, I stumbled.
Must kill for sure… … .
Leaving behind a remnant… … .
With that thought in mind, I tried to attack Aryandor once more.
However, he could not raise his fist.
A jumble of information ran through my head.
Even if he tried to use mana, his body did not move.
I looked at Aryandor until the end.
Aryandor’s body was shriveled.
He was seen dripping blood and falling to the floor.
Seeing that, I lost my mind and fell.
***
“… … ?”
I opened my eyes.
I looked around.
This is not an academy.
The appearance of Luna, Yuni, and Haruna who were together was nowhere to be seen.
I shook my head.
rain from the sky
And I saw a boy and a girl in front of me.
“sister… … Right?”
The black-haired boy said to the girl in front of him.
And the girl looked at the boy with sad eyes and opened her mouth.
“Aryandor… … .”
I opened my eyes wide.
Aryandor?
I looked closely at the girl there.
“… … Beatrix?”
It was the figure of Saint Beatrix.
