Lloyd
On the other hand, Mira was having a back and forth of attacking and defending with Lloyd. The magic Lloyd unleashes, they were all high ranking and powerful magic, but Mira neutralises them with ease. By devoting herself to defending, she has the leeway to provide support as well when it comes to the crunch.
Mira was clearly, a level above him in terms of her capability.
Lloyd, too, was feeling around her capability while unleashing his magic, but his heart was already filled with humiliation.
She clearly possesses the same level of magic as himself, and on top of that, that agility of hers is of a High・Warrior grade. It was because of her presence that Lloyd and the Aristo believers didn’t try to bring it into close combat.
Hazen＝Heim was undoubtedly the strongest Magician, but all things aside, he was an amateur when it comes to close combat. If he takes everything into consideration, she possesses a capability to the extent that he can’t say for sure who is stronger.
Asch＝Dahl created such a monstrous doll from scratch. Without using the soul of a powerful Magician like Hazen; from scratch. Lloyd himself knows it best that that’s a feat that’s several levels above what he himself performed.
“What’s wrong? Are you worn out?”
Asch, who’s beside Mira, shows a triumphant smile blatantly.
“……on”
“Nn? I can’t hear you”
“……don’t you look down on meeeeeee!”
＜＜Oh Eternal Hellfire, Annihilate The Thousands, And The Enemy＞＞ーーJet-Black Great Flame(Para・Bulbous)
＜＜Oh Ultimate Ice, Amass Numerous Layers, And Protect The Comrade＞＞ーーIce Formation Protection(Absolute Zero・Talisman)
Neutralised. Mira, who neutralised the pinnacle of Fire Element, Lloyd’s strongest magic, in an instant.
“Aga……agagagaga……”
Lloyd groans while gapping his mouth.
“Nnー, that sure is a nice face”
Asch, who makes a twisted smile.
“Asch-sama. Archbishop Samon and the others have their hands full dealing with Cerberus. His Magic Power is also gradually showing declination. Is it about time I stop with buying time”
“Kuu……”
Lloyd, who readies himself at Mira’s words. Anybody could see that if close combat starts, she has the advantage.
“Wait, Mira. He’s still hiding his capability. Don’t perform close proximity battle; put an end to it with only magic”
“But……”
“It’s an order, Mira”
That voice of Asch, reverberated lowly.
“……understood”
Lloyd makes a relieved expression and thinks. All that’s left is to make this Dark Magician know that the judgement he made was fooliーー
“Isn’t that right, Lloyd? There’s no way that it will end with just this, right? Because if that’s the case, you’ll become mine”
“……huh?”
What, is this Dark Magician talking about.
“Did you not hear me. There’s no way you think that you can die in front of me, right? Of course, you can do as you like if I die. Isn’t that the kind of relationship we have?”
In response to Asch’s words, cold sweat gushes out from Lloyd’s entire body. In an instant, the acts he performed on those that he killed thus far flashes back to him. Up until now, he’s always on the side that performs. But……however……what if……he, has that done to him?
“U……uwaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
“The technique you performed on Hazen-sensei……that was marvellous. The technique of extracting a human’s soul while they’re alive and turning it into a doll. Your genius idea. And, that cruel idea. It’s really marvellous”
Asch opened his eyes widely and glared at Lloyd.
“……hii”
“Becoming a soul-only existence with a body that can’t die for eternity; a continuously moving former human. I have only one belief.『An eye for an eye』. Even I, hesitate on using a human’s soul. However, I don’t have to hold back with you”
“……stop it! It’s my loss……please spare me. Please! Please!”
Lloyd shouts loudly.
“No way? It’s a trap, right? You won’t do something like begging for your life. I understand you. I mean, have you ever even once pardon those who begged for their lives so far? No, you didn’t. I know, because I understand you”
“You’re wrong, you’re wrong, you’re wrong! I spared them. I spared them numerous times. I spared them if they begged for their lives. I’m begging you! I’m begging you, spare me”
Lloyd, who has already forgotten about casting his magic, and prostates himself over and over again. Becoming a captive of fear, he could no longer even properly fight.
“……Mira”
“Yes”
＜＜Oh Light, Bind Tightly, The Fool＞＞ーーChatra’s Light(Ray・Keys)
A rope of light binds Lloyd and seals his movements.
“No…..no no no no! I’m begging you……please spare me! please spare me! please spare me! please spare me! please spare me! please spare me!”
“……my my. To think that you don’t even have the resolve to be on the receiving end, even of the act that you yourself performed. How pitiful. To think that Hazen-sensei had been captured by a cowardly man like you”
“Hii……Samon! Archbishop Samon! Please. Please help me. You, are an Aristo believer, right? You give your compassion even to someone like me, right”
“……”
Archbishop Samon, he’s treating the Aristo believer with one hand and putting up a Light’s Magic Wall with the other hand without even turning around to Lloyd.
“Oi! Say something! I’m begging you, tell me! Save me!”
“It’s useless. Can’t you tell by looking? They’re busy protecting themselves from Cerberus, aren’t they. Well, they might extend their helping hand out even to scum like you when they have the leeway, but there’s an order to the priorities. Of course, it goes without saying that you’re situated at the very bottom”
“You’re lying……you’re lying……I beg you! Please help me! Please help me! Please help me! Please help me! Please help me! Please help me! Please help me! Please help me!”
“Fuu……you, go to sleep already. I’m sure when you wake up, you’ll be on my mansion’s comfortable surgical table. Don’t worry, it seems it feels good to sleep on. Now then, Mira, please put him to rest”
“…..yes”
“No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! Noーー”
