“There is a potion in the saintess' backpack.!”
It was Ian's voice..
After grasping the situation behind him, he once again let out a thunderous cry..
“Please use it on Ybela! It's a potion with a healing spell, so it should be possible to do a simple first aid.!”
“……!”
If you have the potion, you can save Ibella..
At Ian's explanation, Syrpy hurriedly rummaged through Laurea's backpack and found the potion. However, there was an unexpected problem.
“ah heuk!”
It is because the moment I touched the surface of the potion, I felt a burning pain as if I had touched fire..
There is only one reason. It was because of the divine pattern engraved by Laurea herself..
“shit! All in all……!”
Seeing this, Ian crumpled his face..
That's a kind of safety device to prevent unauthorized beings from using the potion..
It was probably a measure to prevent anyone other than the hero from using the potion. In response, Ian turned around and shouted urgently..
“Sven!”
“Ugh! why call?”
“I'll be blocking this place, so go and use the potion on Ibella.!”
Sven should be able to touch the potion.
At Ian's request, Sven shouted with his eyes wide open as if asking what he was saying..
“what? but you alone…….”
“It's okay if it's for a while!”
For now, it's first to save Ibella..
Understanding Ian's meaning, Sven pondered for a moment and then nodded..
“……okay. Then hold on.”
Right after he finished his determined answer, Sven ran towards the rear at high speed..
Then, after snatching the potion from the floor, he immediately applied it to Ibella's wound. After a while, Ibella's complexion improved considerably..
“Hey, are you okay now??”
“First of all, I put out the urgent fire. But it seems difficult to cure completely with potions alone..”
“then how…….”
“I should use a healing spell.”
The most certain thing is to get Laurea's healing spell. Her divine power is so effective that even her severed arms and legs are attached..
But in the current situation, it is impossible.
So Sven brought out the second possible solution..
“Or join Noah.”
“no, no?”
“okay. If he's that guy, he's got to be something spiky. Because he's the one who went through countless difficulties with Ulan himself..”
So there must be a solution.
Sven believed so.
Afterwards, the conversation ended and I was about to get up to join Ian again, when Ibella suddenly turned around..
“Ugh! s, sven……?”
“I managed to come to my senses.”
Perhaps thanks to Laurea's potion, Evela quickly opened her eyes. Her complexion was still pale, but it was fortunate that she had returned to consciousness..
“Still can't move It's just an emergency situation..”
“But as it is…….”
“are you okay. it will work out somehow.”
Of course, dealing with the giants with Ian is quite difficult and arduous..
Still, it wasn't to the point of death, so Sven shrugged his shoulders as if it didn't matter..
“I'm resting here for a while. That guy alone will be too much for you, so I'll come and help you.”
Sven finished speaking and turned around..
As I was about to move my feet to join Ian, I heard a voice suddenly grabbing my feet..
It was Sirpi Rudric's voice..
“……wait for me.”
“why? I have something more to say?”
“i have a way.”
“What a way?”
Sven tilts his head curiously.
Sylphy replied with a rather stiff face..
“How to get out of here.”
“really? but by what means?”
Sven asked with a surprised face..
It wasn't just that.
Yvella, who had been silently listening to the story, looked at Syrpy with her eyes wide open..
With both of them staring at each other, Sylphy started talking in a calm tone..
“I'm a shadow magician.”
Literally a magician who manipulates shadows.
This is a fairly rare category.
Even in the Desert Cult, shadow magicians are rare enough to be counted on one hand..
Of course, that doesn't mean it's good..
Most of the spells used by shadow magicians are not very helpful in battle..
This was also one of the reasons why Sirpi had the least power among the candidates for the religious leader. However, in the current situation, it can be helpful.
“And among the spells I can use, there's a spell that allows me to move beyond the shadows I'm in contact with..”
A technique called the shadow passage.
Through this, Cyrpie can move freely between shadows and shadows..
In fact, even when I was cooperating with Professor Direk in the past, I was able to go in and out of the 2nd and 3rd districts of the fountain of magic through this to my heart's content..
“that you can move beyond the shadows?”
Sven's and Ibella's eyes widened slightly at Syrpy's answer. It was because I had seen an ability similar to the technique Syrupy just talked about..
“it's like…….”
“It's like Laurea's bridge of light..”
Sven muttered quietly..
‘'Bridge of Light' is one of Laurea's unique prayers, and it is a spell that allows you to move anywhere sunlight, starlight, or moonlight touches..
Ability equivalent to teleportation.
The ability of the shadow passage that Syrpy talked about was also slightly different in conditions, but the effect was almost the same as the bridge of light..
There was just one question.
“We know something similar.”
“Usually, that kind of magic or sorcery can't be moved by the caster alone.?”
Once the bridge of light was like that.
So I asked again, as if wondering, and soon Syrpy's answer came back..
“Generally, yes. but…….”
“but?”
“When castings are used, the story is different..”
fetish).
This is an object imbued with a curse or magic. It is a catalyst that amplifies magic when using witchcraft..
After answering, Sirfi took something out of his pocket and handed it to Sven and Ibella..
“huh? what's this?”
“It kind of looks like a fingernail?”
“that's right. It's my fingernail. It was pulled out in perfect condition..”
With the reply that came back, Sven and Evela's expressions became a bit uneasy. As if hesitating whether it is okay to have this.
then.
Syrpy added an explanation..
“If you use magic with this on your body, everyone can move together..”
To the end where shadow and shade are connected.
And now, this whole place is filled with the darkness of the abyss, and the entire space is in shadow..
In other words, you can use the shadow passage to move as far outside the rift as possible. At this, Sven looked at Syrpy as if he was absurd..
“No, if there was such a good number, why didn't you use it earlier?…….”
The moment I tried to ask if you were keeping your mouth shut.
Syrpy turned to Sven. He then revealed the reason why he had been silent until now..
“It was something that required determination..”
“…….”
very short answer.
Sven, on the other hand, kept his mouth shut..
Because it's a familiar look.
The eyes that could only be seen from soldiers who were ready for death. In other words, those were eyes that only those who risked their lives could have..
“are you okay. 'Cause now I've decided.”
The shadow passage is one of the forbidden arts.
The reason why it was designated as a prohibited technique even though it was not particularly unethical was because the price required to activate it was the life force of the caster..
So Sirpy also used the shadow passage only when it was absolutely necessary and judged..
‘Of course, when moving alone, you don't need as much vitality as you think, but…….’
As with all types of witchcraft, the bigger the scale, the bigger the price..
Considering this, if you want to use the Shadow Passage for all of the current personnel here, you will have to sacrifice the majority of Syrpy's life force..
Besides, the problem is not only.
‘I don't have enough strength to move everyone.’
that there is a limit.
There are only seven people who can move it by devoting all of Syrupi's strength and life force. That means at least one has to stay here.
This is a really harsh choice.
It's like forcing a sacrifice.
But there was no need to worry. Like I said before, Syrupy has already made up his mind..
‘i have to stay.’
that's the smartest choice.
Even if you survive anyway, there's nothing you can do. Now that Arena Ludrick has disappeared, there is a high possibility that the next leader will be Muak Rudrick, who is still in power..
‘whereas I have nothing.’
No support, no force, nothing..
Since there was no future, Syrpy was able to decide his own end with a lighter heart..
Also, since saving the warriors was the same as inheriting the will of Kazan Rudric, the ancestor, it can be packaged as a good expression of a great cause..
‘therefore…….’
Let's risk our lives to evacuate them.
Syrupi made that decision. So he turned to Sven and added his words..
“Instead, I need time to prepare the recipe..”
“Leave it to me. I'll earn you anything.”
“Also, the range of effect of the technique is narrow, so I have to stay close to Ulando. that…….”
“I will pass it on.”
Just as I was about to continue talking, Ian suddenly intruded into the conversation. At this, Syrpy asked with a surprised face..
“yes? but how……?”
“Some of the ancient sacred prayers have the power of message. It's my first time using it, but it will work somehow.”
A divine spell that allows you to convey simple words or thoughts to a distant opponent. After answering, Ian immediately recited a prayer..
Then Ulan, who was fighting Largtan from a distance, suddenly glanced this way, and Ian nodded. Ulan also nodded at this..
“It seems that you understand.”
“Yes, it seems to have been delivered correctly.”
With this, all preparations are complete..
Now all we have to do is perfect the magic of the Shadow Passage while the heroes buy time..
Syrupy took another nail from her bosom and placed it in the hands of the three unconscious warriors..
‘one remaining nail…….’
Later, when Ulan comes near, I plan to put it in his hand. Then the seven warriors except himself will rise safely above the rift..
The moment I tried to focus on the technique.
“……Sirpy.”
Suddenly, a familiar voice tapped in my ear..
It was Ibela's voice. She looked at Syrpy with a slightly uneasy expression and asked..
“really, that's fine?”
“Yeah, it's okay, so I'm taking a good rest.”
Maybe it was a bad feeling.
Ever since before, Ibella had a strangely good intuition. After reminiscing about her, Syrpy smiled and nodded her head..
‘……Ibella.’
She risked her life to save herself.
Ibella said Sirpi was a friend. She said that she couldn't see her dying, she said, and she went on to understand her situation..
The same was true of Syrup..
Syrpy also said that the first friend she made after leaving the desert was Ibella..
And just a little while ago, when Ybela fell unconscious, Syrpy was finally able to face his honest feelings..
‘I want to save Ibella.’
I didn't want to let the girl who still called me a friend who had lied to me so many times die like this..
That's why Syrpy started preparing for the magic trick with a determined face and even risking death..
some time after that.
“I'm almost done with this.”
“that means……!”
“yes everyone please come by my side!”
After everything was ready, Sirpy shouted at Ian and Sven. In response, Ian gradually stepped backwards while dealing with the giants, and gradually narrowed the gap with Sir Py..
Meanwhile, he recited the prayer of the message toward Ulan, who was fighting Largtan. It was to tell them to hurry back because the shadow passage will be completed soon..
“uh?”
But Ulan was immovable.
He was still fighting with Largtan, but there was no sign of him coming this way. In response, Sven frowned and asked again..
“what? You got it right?”
“yes, but why…….”
The moment Ian's eyes wavered once.
Ulan, who was stuck like a rock, stepped back little by little. Accordingly, the party breathed a sigh of relief and waited for Ulan to join them..
However, the distance did not narrow, and in the meantime, the shadow passage was just around the corner..
“Ulan! come a little closer!”
Did you feel nervous about this situation??
Ibella raised her voice again and shouted..
But at that moment, an unexpected answer came from Ulan..
“go first.”
“……what?”
Ibela's face is dazed..
It's not just her. Even Ian, Sven, and Syrpy had a puzzled expression on her face..
Afterwards, Ibela, who barely understood Ulan's meaning, spoke with a stutter..
“uh, what does that mean... … . You're not saying you're going to stay here alone, are you? huh?”
“Somebody has to stay anyway.”
“Ulan!”
“If you can't tie Largtan's feet, you'll have to run away to catch up sooner..”
Ulan's words were true.
Even if you were lucky enough to escape, it would be difficult to get rid of Largtan. He has a much wider sensory field than Ulan..
“so go i will buy time.”
“no! how can i leave you alone!”
Ibella shook her head vigorously..
As if he would not obey Ulan's words no matter what. Then, looking at him with shaking eyes, he shouted as if persuading him..
“Ooh, you promised us. I won't do anything reckless, I won't be left alone!”
“sorry.”
At that moment, I was speechless..
Just as knights value honor, Uhlan admitted to breaking promises so easily even though he mentioned them..
The moment she faced this attitude, Ibela widened her eyes as if she had realized something..
“I guess I was thinking like this from the beginning…….”
no answer came back.
But I didn't have to listen. Because Ulan's expression already said it all.
“This, the magic method will be completed soon! Please come over here, Ulan.!”
Shirpy also hurriedly shouted..
At this rate, the strongest power in the warrior party will be left alone here. This was not what she wished for, so she exclaimed earnestly..
Then Ulan's answer came back.
“do not worry.”
After shaking my head lightly.
he grinned. It was the smile of a person who was sure of victory that he hadn't shown in his previous life..
“win this time.”
“No, Ulan.!”
Looking at Ulan's brightly smiling face, Ybela shouted as if crying. But her voice did not reach Ulan..
saaaaa!
A voice swallowed in the air.
Furthermore, even the hand that had reached out to grab Ulan disappeared as it was entwined in the black shade. Sylphy's shadow passage had been activated..
some time after that.
The battlefield is covered with the darkness of the abyss.
