ARTHUR LEYWIN

Co by within my mind, the hours in the sky crawled by

If I wasn’t looking back towards the fading sight of the beast ar the troops—and ht path of ht to what I suspected was the heart of Elenoir Kingdo?’even through the thick layer of fog above the forest

I’ zags around various points leading up North, I don’t think it’s a single powerful spell but an accu a path

It was just ht of an eneic of the forest with a single conjuration scared hts, I urged Sylvie to fly just a bit faster It was already worrying enough thinking about so toable toin sweat

After about another hour of scouring above the forest, following the crooked path of mana alns of a battle in the distance

Mana fluctuations were apparent even above the thick canopy of trees below us but orried me was the fact that they were old This meant that the battle had ended, and it was impossible to tell fro my shi+ft in emotions, Sylvie dived down closer to the forest, fast approaching the location that I had imprinted into my mind and into her as well

As we approached closer and closer to our destination, however, a figure hovering over the blanket of trees and fog soon caught our attention

What worried me more than his familiar appearance was the fact that he leaked no mana Compared to the oppressive tidal wave that was Uto, this man was the eye of a terrible storm—just like his master

Sylvie stopped about a dozen yards away This ti into reeted the Vritra clad in black ar behind hi back with a brusque expression “Lance”

Despite lance with Sylvie, who had transformed into her human form

I was at a loss

<hr><hr>

My instincts urged ht him; he was an enemy But at the same time, the scythe above him had saved my life and the reason Sylvie and I were able to advance past our respective bottlenecks

Iht?”

“I have been instructed to keep you froe in his expression

“And if I were to say that I have to advance?” I pushed, getting ready to release Realain

Cylrit’s sharp eyes narrowed, but his voice was still calm as he answered “It is for your benefit, Lance Leywin My master wishes for you to be in opti in the defense for the elven kingdom will make that difficult”

“Seris said this was for my benefit?” I blurted

“Myyou should speak so casually, hue, but a sharp bloodlust surged fro the pressure he emanated, I spoke back, unable to keep the venom out of e words with you out of courtesy for your master ”

“Courtesy?” the vritra’s expression darkened, changing for the first tiest you heed her words and clean up thein your fortress”

My eyes re to Elenoir”

“Knowing how to sacrifice is a part of war,” Cylrit said, still trying to persuadeyour efforts here won’t help you even if youElenoir”

“You don’t think I know that?” I growled, unable to hold back The wind stilled and the air grew so thick it was alible

Beside me, I could feel the worry fro all this as et injured or killed in battle from the beasts that I failed to kill Who was he to preach about so I’d had to experience for two separate lives

The vritra’s brows furrowed in frustration “Go back, lance If you want a chance of saving Dicathen, you should worry about bigger things”

I silently approached Cylrit “Move aside You’re mistaken if you think you can keep us both here A lot has changed since our fight against Uto”

Seris’ retainer clicked his tongue before holding out his ar swirled around his outstretched hand, reatsword alht “Very well If you insist on fighting, allow ”

CURTIS GLAYDER

“Keep your forroup of students riding uards, keep your shi+elds up! Trust in your s That’s it!”

The twelve students followed the marked path for this particular drill while the archers a few dozen yards aere already in position to fire

“Release!” I shouted at the archers

A volley of blunted arrows struck the line of students riding clawed equines owned by Lanceler Acadeed forward on theirtheir left knees to help support thee attacks

So their shi+elds while others weren’t able to augment their bodies in time to withstand the volley of projectiles Those unfortunate students were knocked off the mana beast they were mounted on and tumbled on the dirt trail

Grawder, runt as he trotted towards the students groaning on the ground
