“Ohhhhh… … !!”
The scattered black beasts were slowly but surely caught up in the whirlpool.
“Dae, what the hell! What are you guys doing!!”
Felix completely lost his cool and ran to stop the transformation. The ice spear penetrated Felix’s clothes and fixed them to the wall behind him.
“Be quiet, traitor!”
Kakakakak, kakagagakakak!!!
As Dimitri waved his hand, countless ice spears rushed at Felix, pinning him to the wall. But no blood flowed. As if sewing, it exquisitely penetrated only the clothes.
“I want to kill you right now, but there are many things I want to hear from you. Just stay alive for a little while.”
Dimitri said in a cold voice. It was a rare sight.
“Uh, how, how could this be possible!!”
Felix exclaimed in disbelief. It was a question about the current situation in which the black beast was being helplessly attacked, not the situation of being pinned to the wall.
“stop!! Don’t bully my mother!!”
“You’re the one who’s bothering my mother.”
Caspal approached the screaming Felix. I could see that he was holding the sword tightly so that he could cut it at any moment.
“you… … Yes, my brother insulted my mother’s death.”
What kind of change of heart is it? Caspal called Felix his brother and raised his sword.
“Did I insult you? Is that what you dare to say?”
Felix opened his eyes and asked. Caspal, who was startled for a moment, raised his sword high as if he didn’t want to hear it anymore.
Kwajik!

“uh?”
A rupture sounded from a different place than I thought.
“Uh, uh, uh uh… … ?”
The chaosium of the wand Ber was holding was cracking. Like an egg just before hatching, the crack slowly opened.
“Eh, Ethel? oh my god?”
Ver looked at Ethel with a puzzled expression. Ethel looked at the Chaosium with an expression of disbelief——.
“Ber! Stop the ceremony!”
I jumped at Ver, faster than I could answer. Then, he pulled out the cracked chaosium from the tip of the staff and held it in his arms.
“All sleep… … !!”
And before Ethel could even finish her words——a flash of darkness covered us.
“Ooh, ooh, ooh… … . Boo… … .”
The black beast slowly calmed down. It was the figure of a woman, not of a beast.
“Ah, ahahahaha. this. How can I make such a clumsy mistake?”
Ethel, standing on her knees, laughed.
“Eh, Ethel… … ?”
Ber called out to Ethel with a pale face.
“I must have miscalculated the threshold. I managed to stabilize it somehow.”
Ethel looked at Ver and said. A stable chaosium was held in its arms,
“But I can’t stand it any longer.”
There was a big hole in it.
“I’m going to rest.”
fluff.
Ethel collapsed. Ber hastily hugged Ethel.
“Ethel! Wake up, Ethel! Ethel!!”
“… … .”
No answer came back.
When we thought everything was going to be perfect, we couldn’t bear to open our mouths to the unexpected accident.
“… … It’s ugly.”
Felix broke the silence with a laugh.
“It’s punishment for harassing my mother.”
Take a shot, take a bite. Chi profit.
Ignoring being scratched by the ice, Felix twisted and tore his clothes to free himself from the Ice Spear’s restraints.
“I should say thank you.”
“b*tch… … ! I will kill you!!”
Just as Dimitri was about to fire the Ice Spear again, something grabbed him by the neck.
“Ouch… … ?!”
Dimitri was in pain as something intangible grabbed his throat.
“For removing impurities.”
Dimitri, who had been strangled by the air, collapsed. Across from it was a black beast with its hand stretched out as if strangling it.
“… … .”
The black beast, no, there was clear hostility in her eyes.
Dimitri’s painful cough echoed. We stood still, unable to say anything.
“Ethel, are you dead?”
Borland asked in a trembling voice. The question brought us back to what had just happened.
The Chaosium exploded, and Ethel sacrificed herself to stop the explosion.
“… … A thousand-year-old elf would die that easily.”
I said to myself. I wanted to think so. When this situation was over, he desperately tried to stay calm, saying that it might happen again.
“Obviously, it will be a short break. … … damn it.”
At the point of thinking like this, it may already be that I am not calm.
“Coke, Coke! Damn Ethel… … ! I will never forgive you!!”
Dimitri, who had been strangled, created numerous ice spears and fired them. However, it passed through the black beast without taking any damage. The ice spear that flew at Felix was blocked by a shadow.
“Thank you, mother.”
In the shadow of the black beast, Felix spoke politely.
“… … .”
No, it wasn’t a beast anymore. The figure that no longer howled and stared at this side fiercely was no longer a beast with only instincts, but a person.
“You have neatly absorbed the unrefined death mixed with your mother.”
Felix slowly stepped out of the shadows.
“I don’t think I’ve fully regained my feelings yet, but this is perfect for the current situation.”
The mother-to-be was next to Felix, looking at us with only silent hatred. It wasn’t just an imitation of the first look, it was a look of will.
“The technology is very interesting. It seems like he just died… … Oh, I can save you.”
Felix smiled at the fallen Ethel. Katyusha and Edel were desperately giving first aid. It was hard to see because the result was frightening.
“Everyone, please be loyal to Sangvis by dying.”
Then, spreading his hands, he spoke like the head of a pseudo-religion. No more blood flowed from the cut finger.
“… … why.”
Caspal, who had been thrown back by the explosion right before he could slash Felix, staggered to his feet. A stream of red blood flowed from between his white hair, as if he had hit his head hard.
“Why are you doing this!”
Without wiping away the flowing blood, Caspal shouted.
“Mother tried to save everyone! I did, but you’re going to use it to kill people by forcing it to come back to life?! How could you do that!”
As if screaming, Caspal bent down and shouted.
“Don’t dirty Mother’s heart any more!!”
“Caspal. Are you qualified to say that?”
Felix responded coldly to Caspal’s cry.
“In the first place, my mother died because of you.”
Caspal didn’t answer. The mother-to-be looked at Caspal quietly. I couldn’t imagine what she was thinking.
“My father didn’t like my mother very much. I brought him because he said he had the magic of water, and neither he nor his son were happy.”
Felix was fed up with what seemed like a pitiful story.
“But I recognized my mother. that noble spirit.”
Then, as if feeling a sense of superiority, he smiled as he pointed at himself with one fingerless hand.
“Looking at my mother trying to save everyone, I lost my desire to have the ‘death’ that my father had been talking about. I was thinking of persuading my father to burn the record of death and seal it after the mine was cleared.”
There was no lie on Felix’s face when he said that. It just felt like he was genuinely wishing for it.
“I was looking forward to being able to open a new era with my mother without relying on something sinister like that. Blood is also water, so I thought that with the help of my mother, who has the magical power of water, great things would be possible.”
With his head lowered, Felix continued with a forlorn expression. And he glared at Caspal.
“But you ruined everything! Soaked in petty heroism!”
Felix shouted as if to explode what he had endured all this time.
“I went to the mine alone without knowing the fountain. In the end, your mother, who went to save you, died in your place.”
Caspal didn’t respond. It also seemed like it didn’t.
“I needed the power of death to bring my dead mother back to life. I studied and studied the unexpected death again. That’s why I reached this point and saved my mother, albeit imperfectly.”
“… … But, it’s weird from the start. Why is only your mother here?”
Caspal asked with a desperate expression.
“If everyone had come together, mother wouldn’t have died either! You bastards who sent my mother alone are evil!”
Felix looked down at Caspal, who didn’t respond, but screamed.
“No, wasn’t that what you were aiming for in the first place? Wasn’t he trying to use his mother’s good intentions to gain the strength to deal with ‘death’!”
“It is a consequential story. I just have to admit one mistake.”
Felix sighed.
“Our fault for not stopping Mother.”
Then he looked at Caspal with eyes like looking down at trash and said.
“what… … ?”
“When you think about it, it makes sense. My mother was not one to give up just because it was already too late.”
“What, what are you talking about?”
Caspal’s already pale face became even paler.
“It’s simple. Me and my father had no intention of saving you. Because you were an unnecessary existence in our family.”
“I don’t need… … ?”
“Still, seeing how hard you’ve been working lately, your mother who saved you might have been right. But by the standards of the time, you were an unwanted child. My father and I decided it wasn’t worth risking our lives, but my mother wasn’t… … . The result is where we are now.”
Felix happily said that he was happy to finally be able to tell a story that was terrifying to know now.
“But, brother. My thoughts still haven’t changed.”
Felix reached out. The blood I thought had stopped started to flow again and dripped into the shadows.
“You are unnecessary to our family. Don’t you think so too?”
From the shadows, an object resembling an ice spear floated around Felix——.
“If it wasn’t for you, my mother wouldn’t have died either.”
It was fired at Caspal.
“I… … .”
Caspal, devastated, couldn’t even take a defensive stance.
Kaga gak gak!
“It was close.”
So I blocked it instead.
“The earth rises, this… … Is it the secret art of the earth?”
“I didn’t want to use it, but I couldn’t think of any other way to stop it.”
“… … Interesting. Could it be that he plotted rebellion against the emperor?”
It was impossible to cut it with a sword, so I used the secret art of the earth. Using the secret art of the forbidden land is like expressing an intention of treason, so I didn’t want to use it in front of others if possible, but I wasn’t in a situation to take care of it anymore.
“Who judges the value of my comrades without you?”
“At most, it is magic that creates fog. What’s the use of a skill that confuses even your allies?”
The wall created by the secret art of the earth slowly collapsed, revealing the figure of Felix on the other side.
“Don’t you know that it’s a powerful skill even after taking it? I’m sorry.”
I glanced to the side of Felix as I answered.
‘… … It’s different from what I expected.’
For some reason, the mother-to-be was not actively moving. Contrary to what I thought would be an onslaught right away, I just stared at him quietly.
‘Is it because you didn’t order it? Or is it that you don’t really want to fight?’
The previous attack was also a command using blood magic. Something is strange.
I remembered again what the fallen Ethel had said.
‘That guy isn’t dealing with chaos.’
‘I’m not giving orders. I’m just trading.’
The black beast that regained its will after the unrefined chaos disappeared——What is the mother-to-be thinking now?
To confirm that, one fact must be confirmed.
