Then there is always a way to help.

When they fused, Vilm, who had regained his reasoning through Fumir's call, gathered his thoughts and began to act for the best.

'Hartshan, I understand your desire to protect the spirits. So I'll ask you one last time. Do you have any intention of returning Mel?

I can't...

Hartsang, who answered shortly, takes a stance.

'I see.'

When he heard the answer, Vilm leaned forward to match it.

''Aqualance!

Hartsang took the lead.

He saw that he was at a disadvantage if he was behind, so he attacked with a magic that he hadn't shown in the earlier exchange.

Three water spears appeared at the same time.

Is it because of the refraining from using a large magic that covers a wide area, or is it because of the concern to not involve Meldina?

The water spears that were released, each one drawing an arc and attacking Virum.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of it.

It's not a good idea. I'm sure you'll be able to find it. Enchant Aero.

However, Virum dodges them with a light step, and as soon as he closes the distance between him and Harzang at once, a small tornado appears in his limbs.

A magic that makes his own body clothed in wind.

That's all, but it's a threat to Hartshan, who had cast a jutsu formula that nullifies physical attacks.

''Kuh? Frey...

Too late.

Wyrm's fist caught him in the abdomen.

Realizing that no, he couldn't make it in time, Hartshan interrupted one arm and escaped a direct hit.

''Guh!

However, even if he escaped a direct hit, he would not be able to escape the small tornado.

A number of lacerations formed on the arm that was used as a shield, and blood gushed out of the wound.

At the earliest, Vilm's attack, which was not an opponent for Harzang, turned into a mass of deadly weapons.

The expression of Hartshan, who had barely avoided a direct hit while sacrificing both arms from the rushes that were unleashed at an astonishing speed, crumbles greatly with pain and impatience.

''Foolishness........my hands and feet, which are empowered by the Elder Elf-sama, must not go unclaimed!

”...If I was alone, I'm pretty sure I would have been the one to lose.

In fact, if Virum had come alone, he wouldn't have been able to defeat those golems, let alone him.

''Impossible! If so, what did I sacrifice Meldina to gain power for! What did you pretend to be and leave your people to die! Are you saying that everything we've been doing to gain the power to protect you, Spirit-sama, has been for nothing!

From its half-crazed ranting, it's hard to imagine that it's the same person who had the luxury of time earlier.

He looks down at his arms, which are not likely to be of any use at the earliest, and his face is slowly turning pale.

'I'm not saying that the choice you made is wrong. But once you chose that choice, you and I had no choice but to turn against each other. ”We're supposed to have the same desire to protect the spirits, though.”

If Harzang had chosen differently, they would have had a future of fighting together.

A single choice had led their paths in a direction that would never cross.

''Kuhk, kuhk! Hahahahaha! I didn't expect you to sympathize with someone who is less than 20 years old. You are right, those who want to protect the spirit-sama are fighting each other. How ridiculous.

Suddenly, Harzang started laughing, and after a quick laugh, he sat there as if his entire body had been drained of strength.

However, despite the fact that he was in tatters, the atmosphere emanating from him was that of the chief of the High Elf tribe.

'Kill me, human,' he said. I can't say for sure, but Meldina's soul may yet be restored.

What did you say?

My soul and Meldina's soul have not yet mingled. I tell you that if you kill me and put Meldina's soul back into your body, you may awaken. I am ready. Now, do it with me.

As it is, Hartshan, who has turned his back on Virum, slowly closes his eyes as if to show his thoughts.

If that is the only means to revive Meldina, there is no reason why Virum would not choose it.

Haltsan, who felt the presence of Virum standing behind him, opens his mouth.

'I had no intention of asking for a human's name, but will you tell me your name in your last moments?'

...Vilm. My name is Wyrm-Servantil.

Wyrm, huh? I've been wanting to meet you a long time ago.

Me too. Harzun.

”Hmmm, hmmm. I'm a little baked, to be able to enjoy being called names by humans. If Meldina wakes up, just tell her I'm sorry.

I'll be sure to tell you.

So long, then.

After a beat, Hartsang's head fell off with a gurgle.

The expression on Virum's face as he was bathed in the spurting return blood was hard to describe.
