This is the story of a magician and an elf girl.

"What's wrong with that... Of course it's wrong. How can this make sense, you bastard? It's because of the support of pain that I understand the value of life. It's because I understand pain that I know how to care for others. It's because of the company of pain that people know how to tolerate each other. Those who avoid suffering just for this reason are none other than you unreasonable guys!"

"Mr. Jack..."

People... all life! Only people can do what they should do! People should be responsible for the mistakes they make! None of this should be changed arbitrarily by external forces! Don't underestimate people's awareness and sins!"

Only Jack, who has always stood in front of him with integrity, would always speak up for Linnae - and lend a helping hand to support the pain she endured, because he knew that Linnae was not someone who would casually contradict her seniors. The more she knew how to read people's expressions, the softer she would be. Someone had to stand up for her and demonstrate this awareness that represented all the people.

"...As expected, words are of no use to you... For the sake of this world, for the future of all sentient life - Linna, I must take your life, even if it means sacrificing this life."

"!" "!" "!"

"Wind spirits who play with the weather for fun, gather here and offer me everything you have. Become a flash of light for me, or turn into dust that will disappear in an instant. In this way, I will be willing to offer my soul to be your food. Come to me like a hungry beast."

"!"

Suddenly, the wind elves that attacked Doris along with the arrows were like hungry monsters, covering Doris' body with turbid air currents. Linna and her companions could not easily approach her even if they wanted to stop them.

"What... Is that guy crazy... He actually ordered the wind spirit to eat his body... If that's the case..."

“What…what will happen?!”

"Elemental spirits are originally classified as a type of monster, and all we humans can do is to make a contract with them and treat them as familiars. If the wind spirit, which is a familiar, devours the body of the servant..."

"The difference between elves and humans is that their physical nature is similar to that of elemental elves. Through the magic power of the user, their power can be enhanced five times more than the original..."

"So what will happen then?"

"That is to say, if her magic veins are devoured by the wind spirits, she will no longer be the teacher Doris!"

The wind spirit greedily absorbed the magic power from Doris's body and took over her consciousness in a short time. She completely eradicated her past love and reason, and now she is just a puppet of the wind spirit.

"Kill... Kill..."

"What is this sound..."

"Kill, kill, kill, kill - kill the elves with blue eyes... kill the invulnerable humans... kill the winged birdmen... kill them... kill them... kill them... kill them all..."

"It's the killing intent of the wind elves... Through the language of their skills... Their voices represent that their current consciousness has been influenced by Doris..."

"...Tsk..."

Doris, who was unwilling to be taken back to the forest by Linnay again even after going through so much, was surrounded by ominous air currents and dark magic. She completely handed over her purpose to the selfless wind spirit. Her ruthless gaze pierced in the direction of the three people, and the chill running through her fur made her hair stand on end.

If it were my brother... he would definitely...

"Go ahead...Elf, we have to stop her."

"Ms. Linnae!"

"I know……"

The arrows around Doris began to change as if they had gained consciousness. With the increase in magic power, their outlines gradually formed countless fairies wandering in the air flow, but at first glance, their faces looked more like hideous and mischievous bloodthirsty demons.

Not to mention Doris, who was at the center, had eyes that were leaking black liquid, black lips, and dark eyelids, making her look like a witch who controlled demons. It was hard to imagine that she had ever smiled as a spirit in this world. The teacher that Linna always admired was no longer there.

"Aa ...

"Woo!"

"Alas!"

"!!"

The wailing sound that resounded deep in the cochlea was like the scream of a devil, rushing through the whole body. The airflow that attacked Linnai and her group and the wind blades released by the devil immediately left wounds on Wendy and Linnai's bodies.

Jack, who naturally would not let them sit there and wait for death, further expanded the anti-magic barrier to cover them, but this would prevent me from moving or attacking on my own...

"Wendy! This is not a solution! Land now!"

“Don’t talk nonsense! There’s no way to escape in this situation! Wendy! I’ll create a gap for the blink of an eye! You take the opportunity to take us to a higher place!”

"Higher...higher? How high?"

"Go as high as you can! Fly!"

"I...I know!"

"Emerald Clothes!"

The outline of the sphere made of spiritual power spread out from the center point where the three people were. The naughty wind elves would be cut by the thorny plants parasitic on the surface of the barrier the moment they touched it. However, since the bodies of the wind elves could recover through the magic power in the atmosphere, this challenge was hundreds of times more difficult than the earth elves used by Xiaoxue. But precisely because of that experience, Linnae had a better understanding of the elemental elves.

"Hmm? Why... their offensive power has weakened?"

"Have you forgotten? Elemental spirits are still elemental spirits after all. They can't attack without magic power. As long as I, as an elf, use this skill, I can take away their magic power just by contact."

"Ah, speaking of which, when we dealt with the earth spirits, it was the same..."

"Oh! That's right! As long as a certain amount of magic power is absorbed, the tree spirit will be enlarged once more..."

"Before that, you have to buy some time. After that, let me end this—"

"——Ahh... I would think so too if it were possible... but I'm afraid it's not that simple..."

Even though they have some experience in dealing with wind elves, the enemy they are facing is still Doris. If this fact does not change, their chances of winning will not be higher than 50%.

"Swoosh, boom, swoosh, boom, swoosh!" In the blink of an eye, she was completely different from the person before who let go and shot out the huge arrow again. Jack, who was unable to use his anti-magic barrier to resist all attacks, was like a piece of iron plate that would not bend. Even if the arrowhead could not cause any penetrating damage to him, as long as the impact force was enough to penetrate his barrier and armor, this extraordinary defense would no longer be his advantage. The armor that bent into a cone shape was just a sharp weapon attached to his skin.

In this way, even he could no longer rush forward calmly and serve as a shield for the two of them: "Ahem... Damn it... Just taking one hit is already... Ugh..."

"Mr. Jack...are you okay? Are you okay?"

"What an attack power... girl! We can't just rely on the boy's armor! If we are hit directly by multiple attacks, even we won't be able to withstand it!"

"That's why I said that... Wendy! We can only rely on your evasive ability! Is that okay?"

"...I...I'll do my best!"

Wendy mustered up the courage to say those words, now knowing very well that her flying ability would determine the life and death of the two. If she failed to handle it properly, she would be directly hit by Doris's attack, and even Jack's invulnerable armor and Linna's barrier made of plants and magic would all be destroyed in an instant.
