Hope.

 

A blue magic girl leaped onto the stage before the curtain fell. She was a delicate flower that seemed like it could be broken by a single gust of wind, but if you looked into her piercing eyes, you would change your mind.

 

It wasn’t arrogance that she would win in any situation, nor was it a sense of duty that she had to do whatever it took. It was a clear will that transformed into flames, emitting light.

 

That gaze changed her impression by 180 degrees. Her thin wrists, which seemed like they would break, were those of a warrior wielding a rapier, and her frilly and gorgeous dress was the attire of a knight.

 

The Pure Knight, Roderus, raised her chin haughtily.

 

Even though she was a shell, a noble was a noble, and she knew more than a hundred ways to captivate people’s attention. There was nobility in the way she flicked her hand, and dignity in her steps.

 

Gazes were drawn to her. Pure energy poured into the sparkling girl.

 

The citizens should have despaired. They should not have had hope at this point. As the blue light that enveloped Roderus’ surroundings gradually became clearer, Jekniel hurriedly opened his mouth.

 

“…Magic girl, you sound ridiculous. You have lost. Everyone has already seen you being defeated. No matter how much you struggle alone-“

 

“Those guys were the weakest of the magic girls.”

 

“I know you’re not in good shape either, magic girl. Why are you putting on such a brave face-“

 

“This isn’t my blood, you fool. Open your eyes and look.”

 

Pssssss.

 

The red blood that covered Roderus’ skin scattered as steam. She didn’t heal her wounds. She was ‘boiling’ them with magic power and evaporating them, erasing them in real time.

 

In Jekniel’s eyes, she was just a tattered body pretending to be fine, but in the eyes of the watching citizens, Roderus’ words seemed true. The magic girl was unharmed, without a single wound.

 

Hope grew. If she had come out this confidently, she might really be able to solve this whole situation….

 

Jekniel gritted his teeth.

 

“You stupid, stupid humans!!”

 

“Should I have taken a little more care of my shell?”

 

“The Demon King is about to descend, and there’s only one magic girl left! Why are you giving them hope, you pathetic humans!”

 

“It’s ugly to raise your voice like that. Look, commoners. The one you were so afraid of is just a child playing with evil. And now, look at me.”

 

Cha-ra-ra-ra-rak-!

 

A blue Milky Way wrapped around the rapier that resembled a magic wand. It was incredibly beautiful, and it looked powerful enough to pierce through a storm.

 

In short, it was a showy display that wasted energy and had no killing power. However, in this situation where the faith of others was being converted into power, the energy spent on showmanship brought in even more energy.

 

She spread her legs shoulder-width apart, pulled her arm back, and inspired the skill name as she thrust.

 

“‘Starlight Stinger’──!!”

 

“…!!”

 

Pwaaat──!!

 

A torrent of stars poured out. Exaggeratedly drawn large hearts, stars, musical notes, and other such childish effects flew out in all directions. And beneath those effects, the assassin’s sinister technique unfolded.

 

Invisible dark currents shot out, targeting Jekniel’s vital points. Eyes, groin, temples, neck. It was a vicious attack that made the viewer wince.

 

It would be bad if the magic girl who sang of hope were to gouge out the enemy’s eyeballs. So she hid it. Jekniel barely blocked Roderus’ tricky attack by himself surrounding with impure energy.

 

Kikikiki.

 

Jekniel, who had chosen to defend, was pushed back about three steps by the pressure of the pure energy. Thud. A thin cut appeared on his cheek, and a black liquid flowed out.

 

Shururuk.

 

Jekniel’s wound healed completely as time passed. It seemed that he had a self-repair ability.

 

Roderus raised both hands and shook them triumphantly.

 

“How about it, can you believe in my victory now?”

 

“You’re just bluffing!!”

 

Even though it seemed like she had landed a blow, the situation was in Jekniel’s favor. Roderus had attacked in a way that was close to wasteful, and Jekniel had blocked it with minimal consumption. Jekniel also had a higher total amount of energy.

 

He had only allowed the attack because he had been surprised by the vicious technique and had defended himself carefully, but Jekniel’s durability was not so low that he would die in one blow.

 

However, what the citizens saw was the figure of a monster being pushed back, unable to withstand the powerful blow of the magic girl Pure Knight.

 

Could this really be a victory?!

 

Pwaaat.Pure energy surged like a tidal wave. The azure light, so thick that it was impenetrable, fluttered behind Roderus’s back like wings.

 

Jekniel thought that if he lost any more momentum, it could be dangerous. He had the advantage, but if that sorceress continued to gradually charge her energy…

 

Anxiety began to grow. Roderus’s shell (illusion), which was smiling as if nothing was wrong, only fueled Jekniel’s unease.

 

Above all, it was her eyes that fueled the ‘what ifs’.

 

Those confident eyes!

 

Jekniel inspired and gathered the impure energy he needed for ‘Dark Nebula’.

 

“Sorceress──!!”

 

“Huh.”

 

Boom. Crack.

 

An ominous sound that only Roderus could hear rang out. The collision between accelerated pure energy and illusion, and the cracks that had appeared all over his body grew larger.

 

The cheers of the citizens gave him strength, but at the same time, they were hastening his death.

 

A metallic smell and taste rose to his tongue. Roderus swallowed his blood and maintained his appearance. He couldn’t show that he was struggling.

 

He guided the cracks to occur inside his body rather than on the surface of his skin as much as possible. If his internal organs were damaged and his muscles were severed, he would use pure energy to forcibly stitch them together and keep moving.

 

Jekniel could see that.

 

“You move well for a zombie, sorceress!”

 

“Have you ever seen such a beautiful and elegant zombie? If you’re going to belittle me as desperate, try a more convincing insult.”

 

“I’ll peel off that flimsy shell, ‘Dark Nebula’──!!”

 

“That’s an attack I’ve already experienced.”

 

A pitch-black universe, condensed starlight, and a surging wave of darkness. Against the torrent that sucked in all light, Roderus held his rapier at an angle and waited for the right moment.

 

He thought of a structure with sharp edges.

 

“Illusion (Metamorphosis) – ‘Magic Hardening’.”

 

Clang──!!

 

He solidified part of the surging torrent and used it as a shield. The waves that hit the sharp edges split in two and flowed to either side, and Roderus cut through the center.

 

Swish――!!

 

Crack.

 

A blue flash cut through the torrent. At the same time, blood gushed from his throat. Roderus immediately enveloped his body in a flashy effect and charged forward.

 

The magic power swirling around the Pure Knight rotated and formed an umbrella shape that spun rapidly forward. Roderus hid under the umbrella and wiped his lips with his sleeve.

 

Clang──!!

 

The sorceress with the umbrella rose through the dark torrent. Her appearance was like a flower blooming in the darkness.

 

“‘Blooming Umbrella’!”

 

Everyone recognized it as an ‘umbrella’ because of the flying stars, ribbons, and frills, but it was closer to a high-speed rotating magic drill. The distance between the sorceress and him was closing.

 

Jekniel had a strong premonition that he couldn’t allow her to approach, so he retracted the radial ‘Dark Nebula’ and prepared a spell to strip away the umbrella.

 

“This brat…!! Take this, ‘Dark Magic Bullet’──!!”

 

Jekniel raised dark spheres in both hands and fired them indiscriminately. A barrage of magic bullets fired three times per second. Roderus remained calm even amidst the downpour of attacks.

 

The Pure Knight raised the magic umbrella that had been protecting his body into the air. Then, he raised his rapier in front of the approaching magic bullets.

 

“It’s a name that has already been erased, but I’ll tell you. What I was once called.”

 

He thrusts.

 

He turns his wrist slightly, using the elasticity of his joints.

 

Clang. Clang.

 

He calculates the trajectory, moves his rapier efficiently according to the order, dodges what he can, and parries what he can.

 

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang──!!

 

The sound of something bouncing off repeatedly, and a space that was momentarily empty. The swordplay that countered the downpour even stopped the falling rain.

 

In the silence, Roderus quietly murmured.

 

“It’s ‘The Sorcerer’s Nightmare’.”

 

“You and your──!!”

 

Clatter!

 

The umbrella that had been raised into the air spread out and created a swirling curtain. To block the audience’s view. Petals fluttered and illuminated the surroundings.

 

And within the curtain hidden by the flashy shell, red eyes gleamed erily.

 

Roderus poured everything he had into it. His rapier flared with concentrated energy, and a blinding azure light shone.If you give the wizard time, he will lose. It was a lesson I learned from getting a shot in the head with an arrow. So, this time for sure!

 

“Lie down like trash, monster—!!”

 

And a barrage of stabs.

 

Cut out Mokuldae, where chanting takes place.

 

Dismantling the nerves that pass through both hands and forearms that make the hand sign.

 

Pierced from under the chin and popped the eye. When his body regenerates, again.

 

Let’s do our own work──!!

 

Black liquid splattered everywhere. Zechniel’s body appears to be a slime similar to Yunaris, and when it is cut and pierced, it sticks together and tries to recover.

 

However, the rapier moves a little faster. The tearing speed is a little faster. Roderus forced his creaky body to move and continued his attack. I won’t give you even a single break!

 

Zechniel spoke while his form was falling apart.

 

“Why are you doing this? Magical female——! Where on earth is there a reason to ignore our suggestions and risk your life… ?”

 

“….”

 

There were many reasons.

 

It is also true that we have come to recognize the necessity of morality and its benefits. The complacent world where people tried not to kill each other was very sweet and cozy.

 

It is also true that I am obsessed with the justice of my friends. I thought the way they worked hard for people was beautiful and sparkling.

 

It is also true that it was due to a desire for revenge. He wanted to rip off the people who drove Kim Lulu to death and left Oh Hye-in in tatters.

 

In addition, the past, regrets, self-doubt, loss, and plausible reasons are countless. Roderus put all those emotions into one sentence.

 

“Because I want to.”

 

“That’s it, by a whim, our plan…!!”

 

Found the nucleus.

 

Fuuuk──!!

 

Pure Knight, Roderus plunged his rapier into Zechniel’s core. Zechniel tried to say something, but it turned into a viscous liquid and dissipated.

 

“At the point where you dismiss this as ‘just a whim,’ you lose. “You idiots.”

 

Do what you want to do.

 

How long did it take to get this simple sentence out of your mouth? What was inside the shell was, after all, something natural.

 

Roderus left his body behind and walked on.

 

—- —- —- — —-

 

A human shadow fell over Oh Hye-in, who was lying on the floor. It was Oh Dae-su.

 

“… Daesu oppa.”

 

“Oh Hye-in, the wounds you suffered… Are not serious enough to kill you. If you lie down quietly without your bones being misaligned, the emergency room will take care of saving your life. Just stay still.”

 

“What kind of thing is that? “I told you not to use it.”

 

“Nobles don’t listen to commoners. “They don’t listen to the jungle.”

 

Roderus placed his hands on his waist and chuckled. Then he tilted his head and looked up at the sky. The devil’s hand was still protruding from the black swirling sky.

 

Fighting. Patter.

 

Zechniel’s corpse, the black liquid scattered on the ground, began to rise, drop by drop. Like rain falling from the ground to the sky.

 

He knew there was something more. It seemed like it would be so. But I wasn’t worried. Because Roderus had a secret trick left.

 

Due to defeating the Four Heavenly Kings, pure energy was flowing explosively into Roderus’ body his his. So much so that the concentrated magic crystallizes and grows on the surface of the skin.

 

The clash between 『Fable』 And Pure Energy.

 

Roderus used it to turn his transformation device into a grenade and kill Yunaris.

 

This time was no different. It’s the same principle. Magic Female Pure Knight’s body itself turns into a bomb. Whether it was the Demon King, Zechniel, or the enormous Impure energy gathered in the sky, I planned to blow it all away with this .

 

Oh Hye-in placed her forearm over her eyes and muttered.

 

“Don’t…”

 

“I’m from another world. “I’m not dying, I’m just waking up from a dream.”

 

“If Lulu goes and you go too, what should I do?”

 

“I need to make new friends. “I’m sure I’m not the only one.”

 

I was already going to die anyway. The internal organs were completely destroyed due to the successful collisions of energy. As soon as the transformation is released, it will vomit blood and die.

 

So, he said, he is going to use it for a good cause. He smiled lightly at Oh Hye-in. There really was no penalty. Dreams and reality do not share a body, but they share a mind. Experiencing death could have completely changed his 『Fables』His.

 

This is even more so when death explodes as a human grenade due to a clash of magical powers. It still hurts enough to bring tears to my eyes, so I was a little worried about how much it would hurt when I exploded.

 

But it was worth it.

 

“Thanks to you, I had fun… And learned a lot. “I appoint you as my friend and left arm.”

 

“…What is that? Also, why does it have to be your left arm?”

 

“My right arm is already full.”

 

Fluffy.

 

With a light application of force, Roderus’ body flew up. Shining blue pure energy overflowed and took the place of flapping wings.

 

The ground is getting further and further away. Oh Hye-in’s figure became smaller and smaller, and now it was as big as her thumb. On the other hand, the huge whirlpool in the sky was close enough to reach her hand.

 

She thought Oh Hye-in was saying something more, but she was so far away that she couldn’t hear anymore.

 

Roderus laughed awkwardly and cleared his throat.

 

“How are you?”

 

I said goodbye.

 

From Noble mtl dot com

 

⋯⋯⋯⋯.

 

The people of the city watched. The blue starlight being swallowed up in a pitch-black whirlpool. And, emitting brilliant light and erasing the darkness.

 

Gooooo──

 

The dark clouds were pushed out and dispersed, and a roar was heard that shook the heavens and earth. And the light swelled, coloring the entire sky bright blue.

 

The last light of the magic female drove away the night, if only for a moment.

 

And when darkness came again, the ominous vortex was everywhere. Only the twinkling stars and the calm moon remained, illuminating the world peacefully.

 

He saved the world.

 

—- —- —- — —-

 

There is a prison in the basement of the Duke of Redburn’s mansion.

 

The facilities were poor and full of darkness without a single ray of light, but surprisingly, there were people living there. And that too… Very passionately.

 

“…One hundred and thirty-one, one hundred and thirty-two.”

 

Repeat push-ups. As long as you can replenish calories.

 

The moss on the wall is divided into sections and replenishes moisture in a planned manner. Now I have a knack for licking moss.

 

Don’t miss out on catching any insects that pass by. I chewed and ate everything from the head to the legs, leaving a little bit behind to use as bait.

 

He woke up from a dream, but he did not lose it.

 

When he woke up he was disappointed for a few days, but he was able to get through it. I still get depressed or cry sometimes, but it’s okay. Because he has a goal.

 

Life is not over, and if you are alive, of course you have to live.

 

He asked his heart what he wanted to do, and succeeded in recalling what his childhood self he had wished for. He wanted to make Redburn ‘good’.

 

At the time, he could only vaguely think of ‘prevent too much competition’, but now he knew specifically what to do.

 

He will set the Redburn family straight.

 

The transformation device sparkled in the darkness.

 

—- —- —- — —-

 

“You must have reflected sufficiently.”

 

“Yes, father. Next time, I won’t disappoint you.”

 

“Yes, when the time comes, I will use you again. Until then, please recover and help the family with their pastimes, son.”

 

“I follow your orders.”

 

Roderus bowed deeply to the Duke. So much so that it feels servile. The duke was satisfied and threw up his hand. Roderus walked backwards out of the room.

 

He hadn’t been in the sun for a long time, so his skin was pale and he had lost a lot of muscle. To get his body back to normal condition, he needed a balanced diet and rest.

 

But rather, that’s why he can’t be expected to make a move at this time. Roderus returned to his room, his upper leg broken, and thought as he ate the food that had been prepared for him.

 

Maximus, Duke of Redburn, is strong.

 

Although his ruthless resourcefulness his was fierce, the duke’s own skills his were powerful. So, assassination was not an option. It wasn’t something that could be solved by assassinating him.

 

He has to change the family name itself little by little. He must gather men, thwart the duke’s plans, and sharpen his blade for critical timing.

 

But in this guise, he cannot avoid the duke’s gaze. So.

 

“Transform.”

 

Paaa!!After the blue light passed, a sickly beautiful woman with snow-white skin stood in Roderus’ room.

 

“…Ugh.”

 

Oh Daesu staggered and collapsed with dizziness. It seemed that the man’s and woman’s appearances shared a condition. She held her head and groaned for a moment, then picked up the fork again.

 

First, she had to eat to live.

 

From the moment he woke up from the dream, Roderus was able to create a ‘transformation device (dreaming mirror)’.

 

Was it because he was freed from the brainwashing education of his family and began to think for himself?

 

Was it because the days he lived as a girl magician were so happy?

 

Did the explosion in the final battle have some effect on his consciousness?

 

There was no specific cause to pinpoint, but it was certain that the time in the dream had changed him. Therefore, it was probably a transformation of the fable.

 

Instead of the range and output of his original ability, ‘Magic Hardening’, decreasing, he gained a transformation device. It felt a bit strange⋯⋯but it was definitely useful.

 

Once his body recovered to some extent, he would use this disguise to carry out his plan. The goal was to rehabilitate Redburn and create a better Crown Hall. In terms of public safety and other aspects.

 

The reason he thought of rectifying the city’s public safety was because, just as he had crash-landed in this world through a dream, his friends could also appear here.

 

Even though it was a very slim chance, it would be better to prepare in advance rather than not being able to face his friends…

 

That’s how.

 

The righteous girl magician who roamed Crown Hall was born.
