Nia looks at her left arm. There's no arm there that's supposed to be, and the blood is erupting like a broken faucet.
"Wow, wow, my... arm..."
"Nia? Nia!
Kazas, who was supposed to have to be in the rear guard, jumped out to roll. Running over to Nia, not looking at the danger. Near staring at its face, but understanding reality from Kazas' desperate expression. At that moment, the intolerable intense pain struck her.
"My arm... Uh-oh!
"Nia, Nia! Calm down!"
"Yes, it hurts. Ouch. No, no, no!"
"Whew!"
Kazas is blown away by a nearer rampaging around on the ground. His glasses also fall off and break to the ground at that time, but without paying attention to the glasses that came off, Kazas holds Nia back with the utmost force he can.
"Something to tie up, quickly!
"Give me my belt!
"Ahhhhh"
"Damn, I can't stop bleeding!
"Let the eagle do it!
Uty literally flies.
"I'll do first aid with water magic. Aerie brought her fallen arm and twirled it with a cloth! And ice if you can!
"Where's the ice?!?
"Have Alfi make it out of sorcery!
"Sorry, but we can't afford that."
Alphilis and Miranda stare at the burning dantalion. And when I wondered if that flame swayed, Lifeless appeared as he trampled and crushed the ashed dantalion.
"... hmm... have you done that much damage..."
"It's cowardice to strike. You know what the vessel is?
What is a light tone? Lifeless turned his gaze to Alphilis, who turns his angry gaze on Lifeless on his back, and Lifeless turned his gaze like he made a fool of himself.
"... you wanted me to say 'I'm next' or something before the fight?... Looks like you spent your extra childhood obsessed with weird knight stories..."
"No way. I lost my mind in the middle of the fight. Fenna is bad, Nia is bad. I might have targeted the same thing in your position."
"Hey, Alfie!
Miranda yells at Alphilis. Alphilis did not evil, and when he glanced sideways at Miranda, he sighed one.
"Well, I was distracted, too. I'm responsible for that, too."
"... heh... that's humble..."
"So I'll have you pay exactly for that. With my life."
Lifeless seemed to have fun and started laughing really fun. For the first time now, it's like recognizing Alphilis as an enemy.
"Miranda, tie the line to protect everyone. I'll do it flashy, so stay as far away from me as you can."
"Alfi, are you okay?
"Come on? You'll never know until you try."
"Not that way, Atashi. You..."
That's about it, Miranda swallowed the words. I'm worried about Alpha Reese. I almost said, "I don't care what happens." Miranda also knows that the battle between Alphilis and Lifeless can no longer be stopped, and that if Alphilis cannot stop Lifeless, total annihilation is imperative. Then Miranda wanted her to focus on the fight rather than distract Alphilis by saying something extra here and now.
"... leave the back to Atashi. So come and win."
"I'll try."
Answer without turning around Miranda as Alphilis walks away. When Miranda returned to Nia and the others, it was a training ground there.
"Kazas. Ouch! It hurts!!
"Nia, take this!
Nia sweats on her forehead and hits her harder. The remaining right hand is squeezing his arm so as to clasp it against Kazas, but there is too much force and nails are eating into Kazas' arms, and blood is pounding. Still, Kazas chewed things up in his mouth to keep Nia from biting his tongue, holding Nia down desperately as she was. Meanwhile, Uty is performing a blood stop with witchcraft. There was a surprising sweat on that forehead.
See how it goes, Miranda skips the instructions.
"Lisa."
"Yes, I'm here"
"Find the exit with the sensor. We're ready to retreat. Alpha Reese will escape the battle gap."
"What will Alfi do?
"I'll get you out of here and the eagle will go back. In the meantime Nia and Fenna can't fight anymore. It's dangerous if we don't get him out of here."
Miranda sits back and looks at Fenna staring at a point in vain and Nia wandering around in pain.
"Okay, just a moment."
"Please."
Lisa concentrates on finding the exit, Miranda instructs Aerial to see how Fenna is doing, and herself helps with the nearer.
"Uty, take this"
"What's this?
"It's a blood suppression of properties made from totique leaves and crucio fruit skins. For now, the bleeding will manage to contain it. It's also analgesic."
"That would help. But give the eagle a little more time."
"Why"
"Now I may be able to build a good blood flow and let it hold until I connect my hands again"
"Can you?
Miranda rounds her eyes. What Uty said is pretty high tech. Though I've heard that there's a way to do that in water restoration magic, I didn't think I could handle a utility that's always been deceiving.
"It's my first time, too, but... if I can get inside the Spirit, I might be able to figure it out. Fortunately, it was amputated by magic, so it's unlikely that bacteria will get in, but still, the sooner the better."
"Okay. But do it in five minutes. I don't know if Alphilis will have that much."
"... that bad?
"Oh."
Miranda remembers the old days. A boy who uses Ellich, the opponent Ord defeated in consultation, who was a good man of his own - no, I guess it's more accurate to say lover, but Miranda was no longer meant to be her husband - with his jaw. Its strength should be known by extrapolation.
"(If Alfi can't win... let's just keep Atashi beside that kid. no matter what happens to this person)"
Lisa snapped that sleeve as Miranda solidified her resolve on the inside.
"Miranda, there's something hard to tell you."
"What more can I get you?
"There's no exit..."
"Huh!?
Everyone else responds to Miranda's leaked cry.
"What do you mean?
"We have blocked the perimeter, very extensively, in the junction. We were focused on the battle, so we narrowed the sensor range."
"... damn."
It was at the same time that Miranda looked remorseful and there was an explosion on her back. And the alphilis blows up.
Alphilis manages to regain his posture while rolling down the ground.
"Ku..."
"Alfi!"
"Don't come!
Alphilis to control with a drink of nearby Aerial. Those eyes stare at the direction I've just blown. And a lifeless person walking loosely.
"... there's no exit, is there?... Lisa, was..."
"Are you still the killer"
"... you really thought I was just watching the game?... while watching the game, I let you exactly tie the line... most of all when I came out in front of you, some things were already tied up... Doom's Azumi and I are not the same... there is no way out of the trick... when fighting, the strategy is to patrol many... the trump cards are a bunch of things to hide... it's the basics of the fight..."
You don't even know that. Sometimes Lifeless sees Alphilis and the others.
"... the most important thing to be aware of when fighting is securing an exit... don't even secure an exit. If you go in there, total annihilation is imperative... there's no room for sympathy..."
"I don't want to be told by the person who set me up"
"... that too... by the way..."
Lifeless sees Miranda. Keep your eyes flat off her, even though you are in battle with Alphilis. I'm just saying that I've read through Alphilis' strengths.
"... after this battle I will bring you home..."
"What, are you blind to the beauty of Atashi?
"... I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in shaping women... but you're more immortal than that, aren't you?
"... then what?"
Miranda raises her guard.
"... you know what?... Once upon a time complete immortality has not yet been realized... things like going to other stars that shine in heaven, going beyond time, realizing immortality are long-standing propositions of the sorcerers... that as you have learned magic, I am no exception again... just think that the answer may be in front of you... I am not exhausted..."
"It's got nothing to do with Atashi"
"... it doesn't matter if you're not interested... if the sorcerer finds out about this, the people who break you apart but try to unravel that secret will never stop... not just me, but the people in the sorcery church as well... Miriazal is smart enough to realize that and protect you as soon as possible... but maybe he just wants to keep that secret to himself..."
"Our supreme bishop is not like that!
Miranda shouts her voice unexpectedly. She owes a great deal to Miriazal, and although she usually has a lot of mouth fights, she also has respect. Miranda is not so popular as to keep that Miriazal quiet, ridiculed by an inexperienced boy. But Miranda's emotions didn't matter to Lifeless.
"... I don't know... that's not the righteous ally you think... she's a woman who can do dirty things fine and sacrifice her men if she needs to... you know how he used to totally ash every inhabitant of one town?
"How do you know that? What do you know?"
"... at least not more than you... we've known each other since before the war..."
"What?"
"... I had some face-to-face knowledge at the time... but I didn't seem to notice because I was completely different from the way I am now..."
Lifeless speaks pale. The content was a series of surprises for Miranda, which intrigued me to be honest, but I can't really take all of this boy's stories.
"... is that true?
"... follow me if you're interested... most likely you'll take me after this, so the results are the same... but I'll tell you everything I know before you lose your sanity in a proper experiment..."
"You think I'll let you do that?
Alphilis rises loosely.
"While I'm alive, I won't let Miranda do it"
"... you're in trouble... they tell you not to kill..."
"To whom?
"... sounds like you've had a bit of a chat... but they haven't told me to let you live with five satisfied bodies... and keep your hands and feet together?
Lifeless enters the fighting posture again. Look at that. I'll put the alphilis back together.
"... make it look desperate to resist... you guys will take you as far alive as you can... but messing with you guys as experimental material is a complete pervert... they'll flatten out what seems like a hundred million times better dead..."
"You're something big, too."
"... I just want to fight a strong guy... if he's going to be able to fight to show his power, I'll kill his lover... and if I have to, I'll kill everyone but him... even if he can't fight, the tools change his expression when it comes to being a tool, so that's funny... but I still prefer to fight... yes..."
I get the look on my face that I just came up with something good about lifeless.
"... you too... are people who can work harder when about one of your people dies? Which one do you want?
Lifeless turns his hand toward Miranda and the others. Mirandas are frightened by it, but before that, there is more killing and magic than just now from Alphilis.
"Shut up already, you ha!
"... you can do it. Then... that's fine..."
And it was lifeless and alphilic going into combat attitude again.
