Marionette
As an answer to the question the Dark Magician imposed, Lily casts a Holy Dark Magic.
＜＜Oh Holy Beast, Oh Dark Beast, Be Equals, Destroy All Creations＞＞ーーPrinciple Collapse(Od・Catastrophe)
The light of Holy Darkness that was released, decimates the corpses in their entirety and attacks Asch.
“Daooooaaah!”
Despite shouting, he managed to narrowly avoid it though.
“……haa, haa. What are you trying to do, Lily=Schwarz-kun”
“Hahahahaha, it is useless! Well, you probably already know, that self-will or whatnot no longer exists in her”
Delta laughs loudly. Deliberately riling up Asch’s emotions, knowing full well how much Lily’s existence means to him.
“……Lily-kun. I am disappointed in you. No, I’m beyond disappointed; I lost hope in you. To think that you would unembarrassedly show the enemy an opening, get caught, and get controlled helplessly”
“Are you trying to dispel it by riling up her emotions? It is useless, you know. I’ve made it so that her ears can’t hear beforehand. Besides……”
In response to Delta’s voice, Lily starts casting her magic
＜＜Oh Light And Dark, Oh Holy And Evil, Without Endless Night, Without Eternal Day, Display The Path Forward To Me＞＞ーーPure Protection(Od・Talisman)
“……no way”
Asch muttered unconsciously.
What Lily chanted was, a magic that creates an absolutely inviolable domain by combining opposing elements into one. It was, an ultimate barrier made of Holiness and Darkness that’s formerly said that only Hazen=Heim could use. The strongest barrier that’s said to be impenetrable by any magic.
However.
Around Delta and Lily, that which is identical to Hazen＝Heim’s has undoubtedly been put up. He can’t quell the welling tremors, at the fact that a young girl who’s now still, fifteen-year-old, is unleashing a magic that’s on the same level as the strongest Magician, Hazen＝Heim.
“As I thought, she is a prodigy huh. No, you can even call her a monster. In the near future, she will probably come to be called the strongest Magician in history.
“……it doesn’t make sense. It’s, Magic Drug huh”
Calmly.
With a pair of sharp eyes, the Dark Magician answers.
No matter how talented Lily may be, at the current point in time, she does not possess the capability to go as far as to perform the monstrous feat of casting the Holy Dark Magic’s offence and defence simultaneously. Previously, when they fought evenly with Hazen＝Heim, there was a period where he himself held back and observed her capability.
“As expected of Asch-sensei huh. Brilliant answer. I had her, consume a Magic Drug. Of course, I have inserted a magic that only I can dispel inside of it”
“……”
“Of course, if you are willing to be sealed obediently, it is possible for me to dispel it as well. However, there is a side-effect to this drug. If one consumes it for an extended period, it will impair their mind. Her mental strength was stronger than the average person, so I inserted twice the dose of an ordinary person. Hence, I guess, she will probably hold out for about another 5 minutes”
Delta, laughed sarcastically.
