——It can even cut off the branches of the World Tree, which is said to be immune to magic.

“This is the magic known as the Absolute.”

This is Divine Magic.

252. Desperate Defeat

Lost.

Desperate situation.

The branches of the World Tree offset the effects of divine magic, and the concept of absoluteness failed to directly affect himself.

However, without the protection of the World Tree, the body was just an ordinary “human” body filled with divine essence.

I don’t know what kind of magic the last vampire duke used… maybe it has been accumulated for a long time?

Ai’er tried her best to open her eyes.

The world is just a vast expanse of grey.

Occasionally there are some gradual transitions.

It’s because of the pupil. I can’t focus yet.

What is that gray area?

Is this the ceiling of this world?

It seemed as if the gray area I saw was slightly moving—

…Occasionally the world trembles.

“Um……?”

Lucius, who had just knocked El’er’s body away, looked up in a strange manner.

Maybe it has been like this since just now.

Just being in the battle and not paying attention.

“Outside……?”

Is there someone outside trying to break through here?

“…As expected. I have wasted too much time here.”

Lucius adjusted the long hem.

Perhaps this vampire duke had a premonition.

It was just his arrogance that made him be slowed down by this elf here.

“…Elf, maybe this is really your success.” Looking at the golden petite lying on the ground not far away.

The elf tree had been left behind by Lucius as he walked over.

The strongest weapon protecting Elle has fallen off.

“A divine magic… it is your honor to face such a scene in person.” He said:

“If it weren’t for you, I would have been able to handle it even if an archangel came. …Now I regret that I cast that divine magic on you so easily.”

Ai’er moved her fingertips stiffly.

Lucius knew she was listening.

“I didn’t expect… a mere elf…”

Lucius looked up.

“Why would you risk your future as a god by doing these meaningless things?”

The walls have taken on a hint of unreality.

The reason why the ash that Ai’er saw before was squirming.

It’s because this world is being eroded by other scenes.

The dark blue sky was exposed between the cracks in the ceiling.

The walls around him collapsed.

Behind it stretches a lush green meadow.

Lucius’s silver hair and black clothes fluttered in the wind that shouldn’t have existed here.

Even Rossetti, who had been hiding for a long time to avoid the aftermath of the battle, reappeared. He looked up.

The world is falling apart.

First the grassy area of ​​the Foyer. Then the Abyss. Now the Cave.

The person who came had unstoppable momentum and determination.

We need to peel off the layers of this secretive world one by one and expose the heart.

at last.

The man of the sky appeared in the sky.

The eight white wings make up most of the white color of the whole body.

He is looking down.

Except for a few people on the ground.

There was only the young world tree and the broken stone gate standing in the world.

There was only the angel’s gaze and the broken stone door.

On the other side of the door is where the beast’s artifact is hidden.

“It’s not too late.”

He spoke from high in the sky, and finally looked at Lucius who had been looking at him.

The two looked at each other.

Lucius laughed first:

“No. You’re late, Sabriel.”

“…The Fourth Duke?” The angel hanging high in the sky frowned, and his voice echoed with the sky.

There was another brief moment of silence.

Perhaps at the first moment of meeting, they clearly understood each other’s purpose.

Lucius’s meaning was clear.

I was there long before Sabriel.

“Vampire. Even if you get the artifact, it will be useless.” The angel said, “That doesn’t really mean it’s ownerless. We will be responsible for recycling it.”

“I won’t bother you to worry about whether it’s useful or not. But this elf——”

Lucius turned his gaze towards the petite golden figure not far away.

“Afterwards, someone will take care of it.”

The angel said, but his eyes were still focused on the door.

Perhaps he had already noticed Ai’er using the divine essence.

But now Ai’er poses no threat at all.

“…Why, you don’t want to open the door? I won’t hinder you on this point.” Lucius said, “Maybe there is nothing behind the open door. Then there is no need for us to argue. Or do you still have time to wait?”

The angel stared at Lucius. He spoke with a deep echo:

“…Arrogant and conceited. The fourth Duke of the Blood Clan, as always.”

After saying this, he extended his hand. This angel did not hesitate at all.

Perhaps he didn’t care about this vampire duke.

The angels are more fearless.

The door seemed to be under pressure, gradually shedding dust and opening a gap.

No one really noticed…

Ai’er on the ground moved her curled little fingers again.

……

How much intuition and consciousness does Ai’er have left now?

The essence still remains in the body.

The few of them that were left were trying their best to repair Elle’s body.

Otherwise, Ai’er would have fallen into unconsciousness early in the morning.

But it couldn’t last much longer.

In addition to this power——

All have already——

–No……

Maybe, there is still one?

“……bring it on.”

Close your eyes.

The essence that has penetrated into the body… is channeled into the circuit of magic power.

Not far away is the still fragmented World Tree.

I had made such preparations early in the morning.
