Determined
In an instant, Krist breaks into a smile, and a streak of sweat flows on Asch’s forehead. A magic wall of Light that consumed a substantial Chant. It’s a terrible match-up with Asch, who’s good with Dark Element.
“Fufufu……try attacking it. Try attacking my strongest magic”
“……”
At that provocative tone of his, Asch starts his Chant silently.
＜＜Oh Darkness, Give The Foolish Magician, A Single Vehement Strike＞＞ーーSingle Strike Of Villainy (Zeno・Bahra)
The jet-black that was released assaults the enemy, but it dissipates right there and then.
“Look, it’s useless, right? What’s amazing about this barrier, is that it blocks every element aside from Light……fufufu, I guess the game is set huh”
Krist smiles dauntlessly.
“……fuu”
In response to that, the Dark Magician, too, laughs.
That laughter, doesn’t have any particular meaning.
In the face of a crisis where he has his back against the wall, at the very moment that the enemy was certain of their victory, Asch often makes a smile. ‘A comeback, is definitely impossible’. ‘From here, there’s no room for recovery’. An indescribable competitiveness and determination well up in him to destroy the moment everybody was sure of that.
“Fufufu……now then, let’s put an end to it, shall we”
Saying that, Krist casts the exact same magic as Asch just now.
＜＜Display, The Existence Of Fire, To The Enemy＞＞ーーFlame Arrow(Fire・Emblem)
＜＜Display, The Existence Of Water, To The Enemy＞＞ーーIce Arrow (Ice・Emblem)
＜＜Display, The Existence Of Wood, To The Enemy＞＞ーーWind Arrow (Wind・Emblem)
“Uu……ooooooooooooh”
Krist can’t stop his welling laughter, for the Dark Magician who’s running all over the place desperately. By casting magic that are more powerful than those that Asch cast, he flaunts his strength. By showing that off to Jill, to Buzz, to Reader, and then, to Liana, he makes them understand that the spot he stands is at the summit.
“Haa……haa……haa……”
Asch pantingly places both hands on his lap, covered in sweat. From his figure, one can see that he has already run out of stamina to even dodge.
Krist makes a satisfied expression and goes in for the finishing touches. His strongest magic, onto that annoying Dark Magician. Hazen is a dry man. He’ll probably very readily discard a pupil who’s easily killed. Liana as well, she’ll probably be sad at first, but time will eventually resolve it.
＜＜Oh Symbolism Of Light, Become A Blade Of Holiness, And Pass Judgement, On The Sinners＞＞ーー Seal Of Light (Saint・Stark)
The Chant of that magic was lengthy, and the Seal itself was also of the best quality. A superior version of Light Arrow(Saint・Emblem) which assaults a single target. An endless amount of white light, assaults Asch. In an instant, there’s the sound of something colliding, and an intense dust cloud arises.
Krist sees that scene and is certain of his victory. He falls in love with his own intellect all over again and doesn’t harbour even a slither of guilt at having killed the Dark Magician. All he has is, satisfaction. And then, in the act of killing an enemy, he felt an intense sense of excitement.
However, he can’t allow that to show on the surface. Publicly, Asch is a classmate.
“O-……oi. Asch, don’t tell me……you’re not dead, right”
He changes his expression and acts like he’s flustered. Just as though, he ended up overdoing it. Just as though, it wasn’t on purpose.
“……”
Nothing is visible because of the dust cloud, but there’s no response.
“Ha-……Hazen-sensei! Hazen-sensei! Hazen-sensei!”
Krist shouts the name of the Strongest Magician towards the sky. That expression of his was brimming with panic and guilt, but on the inside, he’s thinking, ‘I wonder what you’ll think when you see the sight of your protégé who probably already died instantly’
“Shitt……why are you not coming! Hazen-sensei! Asch is……Asch＝Dahl is going to end up dying. Hazen-sensei!”
He calls his name over and over and over again.
『Fuーu, how noisyy. What is it?』
A sleepy-sounding voice, reverberates in Krist’s head. With the Communications Magic, the Strongest Magician speaks directly to him.
“Ha-, Hazen-sensei! Please come quickly. Asch＝Dahl, by my magic”
『Did he die?』
“……he might end up dying at this rate”
『I see! You sure are talented huh. For you to be able to kill that Asch; you’re quite skilled』
“……uu! What are you saying!?”
While complaining, Krist makes a smile inside his heart. Apparently, the two of them have quite a dry relationship. He was honestly convinced, thinking, ‘Well, I guess it’s a given with a guy with such a horrible personality’.
『However……it sure is strange』
“What is?”
『For me, it doesn’t feel like Asch’s magic power has run out. That fellow, he’s a guy who’s as tenacious as a cockroach after all』
“No way……”
When he looks in Asch’s direction in the middle of saying that.
Despite his entire body covered in blood,
his jet-black eyes, were locked straight, onto Krist.
He quietly chanted.
＜＜Reap The Life, And Bring Death, To Evil＞＞
In an instant, a Demon appeared from a magic circle. It has the size of roughly a human and possesses jet-black wings. Its sharp eyes, carry a distinct bloodlust, and its beast-like fangs glisten ferociously.
“How have you been, Olivier”
The Dark Magician, smiled, with a twisted expression.
