Final Trial of Mankind

The cold sensation penetrated from the back to the right chest, and the inside of the body immediately became scorching hot——

"Huh?" While Glenn's lips were trembling, his eyes fell on his chest.

——From his right chest, the red-dyed sword blade penetrated deeply like a joke.

At its center, the redness that erodes the shirt and becomes deadly in an instant.

Unbelievable, unbelievable nightmarish sight.

"Ahem..." Glenn swallowed the taste of iron overflowing from the depths of his throat.

"Lielle?" While turning his head, Glenn looked at Lielle behind him with a dazed expression.

Standing there was Liel who pierced Glenn's back with her sword—— eyes that were as dark as the deep sea of ​​a moonless night.

"Gee...!?...Gah...Nah...Why......!?" Subconsciously and reflexively, Glenn asked this kind of useless question.

Lielle stabbed herself with the sword like this, and her meaning was already clear.

That's right, Lielle betrayed—in the end, she returned to submit again, and returned to the taboo organization she once belonged to—the Heavenly Wisdom Research Association.

Originally, she knew that there was such a danger. Even if she was only temporarily involved in the study of the wisdom of the sky, Lielle might have set some kind of trap—this kind of thing is unknown.

But even so.

... want to believe.

The reason is that it's not too much to just want to fulfill the promise with that girl... the time we crossed the Shura field together, the time we fought hard to protect each other's lives... Rielle has completely become our side People... want to believe so.

If, even if ordered by that organization... Lielle will definitely stand by our side... I think so.

It is precisely because of this hope that she sympathizes with the dangerous Rielle, if she has a younger sister... Maybe this is how she feels.

Think so.

...Or, is all of this, everything I think about, a trap.

As Arubelt said... Should Lielle be "punished"?

Is that the right path?

...Asshole.

"...You...you...couldn't be...!? You're lying to...people...?"

Contrary to the fact that somewhere in his heart calmly understood the reality, Glenn's feelings embraced a ray of hope, and he literally vomited blood and asked.

but--

"Thank you so far!"

Lielle moved away her blood-splattered eyes of nothingness, whispered and walked away.

The decisive word of a cold farewell.

Clack Glenn gritted his teeth.

however--

"But, I... want to live for my brother who is there!"

"Huh? Brother expensive?"

at this time.

Already in an irreparable predicament, Glenn, who had half given up, froze in thought.

brother.

That's exactly what Lielle said just now.

Glenn hovered ahead with a trembling gaze.

There was a young man there.

The young man who confronted Liel before he came here.

A young man with the same blue hair as Lielle, wrapped in a vestment with a collar.

Looking at this side with a very painful expression...

"... Li... Li... El... What are you... talking about...!?"

It's impossible not to ask Lielle's true heart.

If this continues—even if he dies, he will only die with regret.

but.

"farewell."

The time has come.

Rielle told so mercilessly.

He casually swung the great sword that pierced Glenn.

"—————!?"

Glenn's vision whirling around.

Due to Lielle's superb arm strength, Glenn kept being pierced by the sword, and was swung by the great sword like a whirlwind——

Taking advantage of this momentum, Glenn's body fell off the sword, and then flew out in a parabola.

In a second or two, Glenn's body was enveloped by a sense of weightlessness.

After what seemed to be an infinite amount of time to Glenn, his body just fell into the sea.

At the same time, a huge water column was stirred up.

Glenn's body being tossed by raging waves.

Blood flowed continuously from the open wound on his chest.

The body gradually loses strength——

[No, it's not good...! ?Healing, healing spells...! ? 】

It's still too late.Although he lost a lot of physical strength, his mouth can still move, and he also knows the skill of chanting mantras in the water.

I have experienced countless times so far when chanting mantras in this extreme state, and my life is hanging by a thread——

[Oops - Oops -]

Glenn had already activated his own inherent magic, and it was only now that he remembered that the activation of magic would be completely blocked within a certain range centered on himself.

【Things, things backfired... ah...】

Inherent magic "The Fool's World".

Now the naming seems to be deeply satirizing Glenn himself.

I no longer have the strength to swim back to shore.

Even if he could go back, he couldn't win Lielle even if he couldn't use magic and was seriously injured.

[Shogi] Checkmate is dead.

... Gradually sank.

Glenn's body gradually sank to the dark seabed.

The surface of the sea has become so far away that even if you stretch out your hand, you can't reach it at all.

[No... can... can... I... actually die here...? 】

The moment consciousness disappears into the darkness.

Glenn's mind flashed one after another, the faces of the cute blonde girl, the arrogant silver-haired girl, and the faces of the students in his classroom that he didn't care about at first. (Has Celica been eaten by you ((‵□))?!!)

[hug...sorry...]

Finally think about this kind of thing.

Glenn's consciousness was suddenly interrupted.

048 Do your parents know you are so skilled?

Just like salvaging deep sea fish, Mu Chen stretched his hand into the sea water.

The small universe drove up like a spiral, and then sucked up Glenn from below.

Looking at Glenn who was like a dead fish, Muchen felt bored.

"I can't... Forget it, I won't talk about the truth of pretending to be aggressive, it's better to treat it first."

Mu Chen, who was going to pretend to say a few words just now, gave up in the end, he looks like an idiot if he talks too much.

What's more, if you wait any longer, this guy will really die.

He planned to launch the white magic [Increase Vitality] to save Glenn, but just after launching it, he found that his activation formula was broken.

"Ahhh, this idiot, with the inherent magic [Fool's World], does he think that victory is within his grasp? He can't even judge the situation on the spot, so he just used this magic that killed himself .”

Because he can't use the magic of this world, Mu Chen also has no best way to save him.

In the exercise of magic, there is the concept of mana-body rhythm, which is an index that expresses the mana state of human beings.

The normal state that is neither controlled nor disordered is called neutral, the controlled state is called low, and the uncontrolled disordered state is called chaos.

To use magic, you must adjust the mana body rhythm that is usually in a neutral state to a low state through mental concentration and breathing techniques, and the mana body rhythm that is in a low state after using magic will cross the neutral state in one breath state becomes disordered.

Although the degree of inclination to the disordered state varies depending on the scale of the magic used, basically no matter what kind of magic it is, it will inevitably leave the human body in a disordered state after it is used.

And when the body is in a disordered state, even the most outstanding magician cannot perform magic.

This is the absolute law of magic.

"It's really troublesome, so there is no need for magic."

Since the best treatment method can't do it, then simply use violent treatment.

"Anyway, the side effects are not too great now." Mu Chen gave up the mana that transformed the small universe into this world to perform magic, and Mu Chen reached out to touch Glenn's wound.
