Four Saints
The Four Saints Zedes＝Gun. A Magician who’s proficient in the Defensive Magic of Light, he is. He’s a fine refreshing young man who wore a white vestment, proof of an Aristo believer. The type that’s completely opposite of the insidious, indoor-type, and gloomy-personality Asch, he is.
“Bacchus……it sure is unlike you. We’re gonna regroup”
While saying that, he starts chanting
＜＜Oh Light Formation, Protect The Pure, From All Malicity＞＞ーーHoly Formation Protection(Saint・Talisman)
In the blink of an eye. A Magic Wall of Light is erected before the three.
“The enemy is a monster that not even that Hazen-sensei can kill. Furthermore, even Rizalt, was done in helplessly. Get it into your head that we can’t win with just one person”
Vega＝Reel, who’s similarly the Four Saints, goes into a fighting stance. A Magician who’s proficient in the Offense Magic of Light, and simultaneously a Paladin who’s competent of physical combat, he is.
“……”
Bacchus also maintains his composure, re-chants the Seven Colour Transformation(Chameleon), and erases his figure.
The Four Saints’ fighting style is, mainly group battles for the most part. Vega fights in the vanguard, Zedes on the defence, and Rizalt attacks with Fire Magic. Bacchus goes for the enemy’s opening and finishes them off. That formation has extraordinarily good chemistry, and it’s said to possess the strength several times their competency individually.
It’s precisely so, that Asch, targeted to take them out individually, but he failed to take them out except for Rizalt. A Magician who’s making a composed expression, but who’s actually panicking quite a bit and putting up a strong front, he is.
＜＜Oh Shadow, Display, A Curseーー
“Too slow!”
Vega the Paladin charges and closes the distance.
“Kuu!”
He desperately dodges the unleashed punches, but his chanting gets interrupted at the same time.
When he somehow takes his distance and tries to re-chant,
＜＜Display, The Existence Of Water, To The Enemy＞＞ーーIce Arrow (Ice・Emblem)
Magic was shot from an undetectable angle from Bacchus.
“U, uooooooooh”
He narrowly dodges the flight of the sharp blades as well. A Dark Magician who, since the past, has been super first-class at just dodging.
“Haa……haa……”
While running out of breath. He recognises the fact that he’s cornered into a desperate pinch.
＜＜Oh Pitch Black, Oh Endless Darkness, Oh Souls Of The Abyss, Assemble And Display The Despair Of Death＞＞ーーPurgatory Of The Sheol(Zeno・Berserk)
Asch, too, is not without a plan. He points and casts an Enormous Dark Magic at Vega, and the gigantic black lump swallows and engulfs the vicinity in no time at all.
But.
In an instant.
The magic he cast was dispersed.
“Darkness won’t get through my magic at all”
Zedes, who put up the Magic Wall just now, laughs with a dauntless expression. A curtain of light that’s specialised at countering Darkness. Through the fact that his all-out Dark Magic was erased, the fact that all his Dark Magic hereafter won’t get through was proven.
“Both of you come over here”
He said and made Vega and Bacchus return. Already, their advantageous position in battle is proven. Zedes judges that there’s no need to rush the battle.
“Haa……haa……”
The Dark Magician who’s not fond of that. It was the moment that he swore inside his heart, ‘I’ll crush that composure to smithereens’.
“Asch＝Dahl. I have a proposal”
“……what is it?”
“Give up here, retreat”
“Wha……Zedess!”
Bacchus, who’s beside him, glares at him while making a surprised expression.
“Calm down, Bacchus. The objective this time around is, to destroy the country. Thanks to this Dark Magician, we have no choice but to join in fully as well. That Dark Magician is an undying Magician. Even if we have the advantage in battle, we need time to seal him”
“Kuu……”
His ego was wounded. Bacchus wasn’t calm in his heart, but it was clear that what Zedes said is efficient.
“Asch＝Dahl. If you dispel the illusion you placed on the soldiers, I’ll let you escape here. However, if you’re going to continue to fight, in Hazen-sensei’s place, I’ll seal you away for a thousand years”
There was a brief moment of silence. Like he gave up, the Dark Magician muttered quietly.
“It can’t……be helped”
“Deal huh”
“No, that’s not what I meant”
“……what are you saying?”
“You know, me. I hate pain. I can’t stand being injured. I’m always thinking about ways to settle things with as little damage as possible”
“So what are you trying to say!”
Zedes’ tone becomes rough.
“Fuu……you don’t get it? I gave up on the pain. I’ll bear with it. It can’t be helped for the sake of victory”
“Vega! Bacchus!”
Along with that shout. The Paladin dashes out and barrages him with a fury of fists.
Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da Da!
But.
He doesn’t dodge them this time around. The Dark Magician who continues eating all the fists defencelessly. Those eyes of his are shut, and he doesn’t even move a millimetre.
＜＜Oh Soul, Who Strays――
And then, he starts chanting quietly
“Kuu……stop chanting!”
Goki.
He snapped Asch’s left arm at its joint. It bends greatly in the opposite direction; it’s such a serious injury that an ordinary person would probably never be able to move it again, but even so, he doesn’t show any agonising expression.
From Darkness, Reap――
And then, the Dark Magician’s chant, too, doesn’t stop.
“Bacchus!”
＜＜Oh Eternal Hellfire, Annihilate The Thousands, And The Enemy＞＞ーーJet-Black Great Flame(Para・Bulbous)
What was released was an Enormous Magic. It doesn’t produce as much power as Rizalt, but it’s certainly a magic that would leave him without a trace.
However.
While being burn by the hellish flame.
The Futile Life, And Put Evil, To Death＞＞
The Dark Magician finishes his chant and tries to draw a symbol on the ground.
“Oops”
Gokii……gokii……
While forcefully returning his broken arm to how it was.
“Y, you monster……”
Vega mutters unconsciously.
And then.
What appeared from the ground were, two Demons.
“Hey, Belias, Olivier. How have you been?”
Asch laughed with a twisted expression.
