93 – Ender Arcana

“Damn it!!!”

Leon was resentful.

He blamed himself for his helplessness, not anyone else.

What is the greatest genius in the history of the empire?

Even these monsters couldn’t be defeated alone, and in the end, someone died.

A person who seems to be Sophia’s precious bond.

“aaa!!!”

Nothing changed even though he cried out as he slammed his sword on the floor.

The monsters have already been crushed to dust by themselves, and Ed Cruell, who introduced himself as an officer of Avatar, ran away.

Michel passed out.

Atal collapsed due to exhaustion of mana.

Sophia screaming.

And the dead Elin.

Leon gnashed his teeth at the terrible horror.

The organization called Avatar will be completely destroyed no matter what.

“… Uh?”

And Leon witnessed a miracle.

“Why did it take so long, S.”

“I’m sorry, older brother. But there was a reason.”

Es said so, revealing her right arm that was covered by her cloak.

“… What happened?”

S’s right arm was in an inexplicably bizarre condition.

It was pitch black, as if it had been completely burned, but from time to time blue and light green lines intricately tangled up and floated, and even a light wind trembled as if in pain.

“To be honest, I don’t know what happened to me. It’s hard to move, and it hurts terribly. And the biggest problem is that the magic doesn’t flow to the arm.”

“Is that really true?”

“Yes. At first, strengthening the body was impossible at all, but now only the right arm is doing this. I tried to send magic, but it cut off while I was going. If you try to send it by force, the pain will intensify.”

According to S, it was a much more serious problem than Ed thought.

If the magical power does not work, it means that there is something wrong with the magical furnace.

In other words, this wound could not be healed even with healing magic.

‘But it doesn’t look like it’ll get better if I leave it alone.’

“Wait a minute. That means, that ability…”

“Yes. I can’t use it.”

‘Damn it.’

S was the most important force along with Rex in Avatar.

It was a big deal that she couldn’t move.

“What the hell happened, S.”

Ike, Raina, Helen, Andrew.

There was no way we could beat S with these four people.

If that were possible, Avatar would have had to cancel all of her plans so far.

“To be honest, those four are no match. But Ender Arcana came looking for me.”

“What?”

The Archmage Ender Arcana.

A man who is considered one of the biggest obstacles to Avatar’s plans.

S’ older brother, Ed, was an opponent that S alone could not defeat, no matter how subjectively he mixed it up.

“Maybe that wound?”

“Yes. That kid made it.”

“… Then it would have been best to come back alive. You worked hard, S.”

“No, older brother. Listen to the end.”

At the whispered words, Ed opened his eyes wide and looked at S.

“Is that really true?”

“Uh. The pillars of Arcana must have collapsed completely.”

The corners of Ed’s mouth naturally went up at the news that S delivered.

Even if all of Arcana’s golden generation survived in this operation, according to S’s words, it was a good news enough to treat them like others.

“I need to tell everyone about this soon.”

The fulfillment of Avatar’s long-cherished dream.

Thinking that it wasn’t far off, the two sped up.

But the two didn’t know.

The fact that the spark of hope was still burning.

“My purpose from the beginning was you, so what?”

S’ fingertips fly toward me in an instant.

A body that can’t move properly yet.

The veil shattered in an instant.

Just before S’s fingertips were pierced into my chest.

“I expected that much.”

Silver chains wrapped around S’ body.

S is immediately dragged towards Dean Ender.

At this point, S cannot use teleportation.

In other words, our victory….

“You know what? That the trump weapon should be kept until the end.”

At the same time as he said that, S disappeared in an instant and reappeared in front of Dean Ender.

“Kuhup!”

And S’s fingertips had pierced Dean Ender’s chest.

A blow no one expected.

Dean Ender’s reaction speed, which even momentarily dodged to the left, was obviously tremendous, but it was a fatal wound nonetheless.

“Ah, I’m glad. If it wasn’t for that lump of baggage, it would have been me who would lose.”

A lump of luggage.

That must be me.

It really suits you.

It was a very suitable expression for me who changed the future and faced a situation where I could not take responsibility.

After all, even now, I am collapsed, unable to overcome the intense pain.

“… It is not.”

“Then, bye bye. I’ll let those guys go soon.”

“It can’t be a lump of luggage.”

However, Dean Ender denied S’s words.

“What?”

Then he grabbed S’s right arm, which was stuck in his chest.

“Are you trying to use magic on me at this close range? You want to die together?”

“Well, that would be nice, but unfortunately I don’t have that kind of energy. My mana was almost gone. More than anything else, the pain makes it difficult for me to concentrate.”

“Then is this an ugly outburst?”

“Check that yourself.”

“I’m sorry, but it’s been 11 seconds.”

S smiled as he said that.

But.

“Huh?”

She remained motionless with her right arm tucked into Dean Ender’s chest.

“As expected, that is the same as the teleportation that some monsters use.”

At the same time as he said that, magic power began to flow from Dean Ender’s hand, which held S’s right arm.

It was enough magic that even I, who had no talent for magic, could feel it.

“… Let go of this.”

As if she had an ominous feeling, Es pounded Dean Ender with her left hand and leg, but he didn’t budge.

“How is it? If you apply your magic well, you can do this.”

“Let go!!!”

“It’s a pity that I can’t get hold of you, but I should still get at least one present.”

At the same time as he said that, S’ arm began to turn black.

“aaa!!!”

How many seconds had passed?

It wasn’t that long.

But when all that time had passed, her S’s right arm was completely discolored.

“… Unfortunately, one of her right arms.”

“Ughhhhh….”

With that, Dean Ender slumped to the ground as if he had exhausted his strength.

S’s right arm, which had been stained black from the recoil, regained her freedom, but she did not move a single step as she let out a moan, perhaps because of the pain.

“I wonder what it would be like to run away quickly. Reinforcements should arrive soon.”

“… Before we go, we have to kill that guy.”

“It would be impossible to strengthen the body or teleport right now, but would that be possible?”

“To kill a person who can’t even move, a bare left hand is enough.”

“Don’t think I’m just watching.”

Blood was pouring non-stop from the chest of Dean Ender who was sitting down.

However, he had such a calm expression that if you covered his wounds, you wouldn’t feel any discomfort.

On the contrary, looking at each other’s expressions, S felt more dangerous.

“… sh*t.”

In the end, S. Cruel gritted his teeth, put the hood back on, and left.

At the speed of an ordinary person who hasn’t done anything like physical enhancement.

“It’s fortunate that the old man’s last bravado went through.”

As soon as S’ figure disappeared completely, Dean Ender got up and slowly approached me and sat down on the floor.

He looked so precarious as he covered the wound on his chest with his right hand.

“Ike, are you okay?”

“It’s okay, it’s okay… Whoops!”

Blood poured out of his mouth again.

My throat was tingling from the continuous hemoptysis, and the intense pain in my chest had no intention of going away.

“I’m sorry. I should have done this before asking.”

Dean Ender reached out to me.

“O source of life. A resting place for them.”

At the same time as his chant ended, a blue light rose from under the feet of Reina, Helen, and Andrew seniors including myself.

Then, the intense pain I had felt just now disappeared in an instant, and the trembling in my arms and legs subsided.

“This is….”

“This is the highest level of water-based healing magic I can use. Even if it’s impossible to cure the serious injury, the pain will have been greatly subdued. Maybe we can talk for a while After all, it was good that you left all the magic power to heal you guys.”

As if to prove his words that he left magic to heal us, Dean Ender’s breathing quickly became rough.

There, cold sweat was running down his head, and his eyes began to blur.

From nob le mt l dot com

Proof that mana has been completely exhausted.

“Why did you use this magic on us?”

From anyone’s point of view, it was Dean Ender who was in the most serious condition.

He is covering the wound in his chest with his right hand, but blood is constantly flowing from there.

Dean Ender shook his head at my question with such a meaning.

“I am already late. My level of healing magic can’t heal a wound like this.”

“If you don’t try….”

“And as the dean of Arcana, I can’t just let the students get hurt. If I can sacrifice my life to save you guys, wouldn’t it be a profitable business?”

Even though the end of life was clearly approaching, Dean Ender didn’t feel the slightest bit of remorse.

He was smiling as if this were natural.

But instead, my body began to tremble again.

Death.

Dean Ender dies because I changed the future.

In the original ending, he dies, the role of blessing Leon and Sophia.

“… Mr. Ike. I’d like to talk to you one last time, is that okay?”

I didn’t want to admit the word last.

But Dean Ender’s blurred eyes rejected it, so I finally nodded.

“Ike. You said you knew the future.”

“Yes.”

“I thought a lot. The reason you didn’t ask for help from those around you you mentioned the other day. There was definitely a reason, but I couldn’t understand it. Even if it could cause chaos, I think you should have asked for help in the first place if your life was at stake. Because you are now a student of Arcana.”

Going alone without telling anyone about the story of the black wolf.

It was easy to see that Dean Ender was talking about that time.

“What I wanted to create while I was the dean of Arcana for 40 years was a place where I could do my best to help the students no matter what. . Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like that place could have been for you.”

“That, that is.”

As I rushed to make an excuse, Dean Ender waved that it was okay.

“I know. The reason you acted like that was because you didn’t want the people around you to get hurt.

… No.

“You must have thought that it would be okay if you, who knew the future, would shoulder it alone and get hurt.”

It’s not like that.

I simply wanted to save Reina and changed her future at random.

And she couldn’t handle it alone, so she asked for help.

“But no matter how much you know, doing it all by yourself isn’t the answer. Please know that no matter how difficult the situation is, there is definitely someone who will move for you.”

So you will die….

“And Mr. Ike. If you’re kind, you might be blaming yourself for my death right now.”

“… Yes?”

“But don’t think like that. I’m already an old man who has grown old. It’s a body that won’t be strange even if you die right away.”

Why are you trying to prevent me from even feeling guilty until the very end?

You know it’s my fault.

“So you move forward toward your goal. It is enough to remind you of the death of such an old man once in a while.”

“Okay, yes.”

“I’m sorry. I thought suspiciously of you, who must have been the hardest. And thank you. That you stopped the assassins. I should have said it as soon as I heard it, but now I say it, crab, become….”

Dean Ender’s words did not follow through.

When I looked up to check, he had his eyes closed with a calm expression.

When I saw that, I had no idea.

No sadness, no guilt, no anger, no resentment.

I didn’t feel any emotions.

So I sat on the floor without saying anything.

Continue until the reinforcements Dean Ender spoke of arrive.

Tears did not shed.
