A Banished Failure Survives in the Borderland and Becomes an S-Rank Exorcist

Either one of us is going to die. Claire's cut is somehow regenerating, and she still sees the energy to fight. Besides, I also had the strength to fight even after being attacked by that fierce attack.

The battle is already at its best. We need to prepare ourselves for death from here on out. And ready again. I wonder how many times I've done this. I've been fighting. Being banished at dusk, fighting to the death in the raid, and now... killing each other's twin sisters.

What a strange fate... but I wasn't easy. Humanity is indeed advancing. There was also an invasion by the Magus, and there were a lot of victims. Still, even in such a desperate situation, we are moving forward little by little. And I'm at the forefront of it. The fate of humanity from here on depends on me. [M] If you eat defeat here in an unusual way, not all, but many things become meaningless.

And Princess Lianne, Senpai and Shelley, who are lying behind us, could be killed. To protect them, I need to kill them... even if they're blood separated relatives...

"Nh... at such a good time, chi..."

Claire put her right hand to her ear. And start a conversation with someone to see if they're using communication magic. Of course I won't miss the gap. [M] As soon as I approached her, I held on to the Invisible Sword, Invisible Blade... but I wasn't able to hold myself to my maximum performance because of the accumulated damage from the attack earlier.

Claire sighs as she slowly laughs at the attack.

"Hah... oniichan. This ends here. Ahh, it was fun... but can I save it for later? Oniichan hasn't really come out yet, has he?

……

Laugh. That face was obviously a shame, but it looked like it was looking forward somewhere.

I'm not serious. I certainly didn't put out my own trump card. [M] It's not that I'm sparing it, but if I do it in a situation around me, I'll have a lot of problems... but isn't Claire serious enough to talk about it...

I can't believe you still don't really mean it, even though you have that kind of psychic interference system's unique ability (Extra)... I really can't see the bottom. I've never fought a Magus before, but I've never met anyone with such a strange strength. I haven't seen him in two years since that dusk. Even so, it seems that I was set up to go to dusk, so I can't say everything I've seen in general.

"Bye, oniichan. I'll see you later."

Finally, Claire is sucked into the magic formation. Perhaps we can use metastasis magic. I never pursued it. Perfect if the other party pulls. Even here, I decided it was not a good idea to fight any more. And when I lift the bond I held on to the three of them, I immediately call for backup with communication magic.

It's over. Everything's finally over. I couldn't catch or kill a traitor, Cyrus, Claudia, but I did what I had to do. Information was also obtained. That said, it depends on Princess Lianne.

When I finish the communication, I sit there and breathe on my shoulders. [M]

"Hah... hah... hah... hah... hah... hah..."

I suddenly got exhausted because of the recoil. The amount of sweating from the body was abnormal. Still, I didn't lose my mind this time. When I kept my consciousness tight, I stayed there watching the three of them.

◇

A week has passed since then. The four of us were hospitalized. The other three were in intensive care for three days, but now they seem to be in the general ward with no sequelae. On the other hand, although I was hospitalized, my physical strength and energy recovered completely in just one day. The awakening of my abilities as a Magus was more astonishing than I expected, and I came to full resurrection in no time.

I was on the roof of the hospital. As always, the world is wrapped in dusk. And I was thinking about how I was going to behave. My identity is a complex of humans and magicians. I was able to check my unique abilities in Extra. When I woke up as a Magus, all my basic abilities improved. Twilight Site was also significantly enhanced, so that the target components could be read simply by looking at it. The truth that appeared to me was irreversible. [M]

Magic form, unique region "Personal field". It takes the form of a distinctive species. Humans, demons, and others have different things. Among them, I had both. [M] In percentage terms, 50% each. It was just split up beautifully, and I didn't think I'd become natural. And even if I recall Claire's words, I'm sure I'm... artificially created.

If you are so worried, you can hear the door opening behind you. Looking back at the sound, it was Mr. Bell who was there. [M]

"Mr. Bell... thank you..."

"Julia... thank you... for protecting Lianne and everyone..."

"No, I did what I had to do."

"Still... the only thing I can do is... amazing..."

"... Mr. Bell, what are we going to do now?

"... I should be able to tell you a little more about the future... but this time... the damage is too great... both the Premium Warlock were traitors... and this information must have been taken away quite a bit..."

"Why are those two...?"

It appears that Claudia has sent the Premium Warlock to level 4 of the Twilight Danger Zone. We managed to survive, but the situation was already over. Despite all the interference, we were dancing on the palm of the opponent's hand until the end.

And now, we are waiting for Princess Lianne's consciousness to return, but now it is. Her unique ability, Extra, has stolen information from Claudia. No, technically, she looked at the other person's memory. And keep that memory in your brain. I remember Princess Lianne telling me at the last resort that I could do it. That's why if Princess Lianne wakes up, she may know how this happened. And who am I, Sherry, Senpai, Princess Lianne... that will be revealed.

"Well then... let's go, Julia..."

"Where are you going?

"To Liane-sama....."

"Consciousness?

"I just got back... and I want you to come..."

"If only you'd told me sooner...."

"Julia... I almost cried."

"... eh?

"I'm sorry... I've left everything to you..."

"That's not me....."

That's what I noticed when I started crying. Am I sad? [M] You should be crying because you're sad. But what makes me sad... It seemed like a short and long journey. He was banished from the border city and lived hard at dusk. When I came back, I was in that raid. I witnessed the death of many people. In addition, I learned of Ellie's death after I became a soldier. Another man is dead. I learned of many deaths in this world ruled by dusk. I've seen death. I want to throw everything out now. I had a few thoughts about that. Still, it went on. He also found out about the traitor and killed his only relative, his sister.

Well... I... lamented the ruthlessness of this world. Why should a man be trampled upon in his dignity? Why does this twilight afflict people? Why do demons destroy humans? I lamented the cruelty. There is nothing beautiful about this world. Only the ugly, cruel part. Still, one day this dusk will disappear, and I want to see that blue sky with my own eyes... that's what I thought.

It seems that the world wanted a blue sky before dusk. It is as clear and beautiful as ever. That's what it says in the literature. To protect mankind and free itself from this abominable twilight. We will have to keep fighting to get to that blue sky.

Then I'll keep scratching in this ugly world of dusk. [M] No matter how cruel a fate awaits, no matter how cruel a battlefield awaits, let us move on to the end of this life.

That means carrying the lives of the people who have died so far.

"... let's go, Mr. Bell. I'm fine now."

As soon as I wipe my tears, I leave the scene. [M] Waiting ahead is the ruthless truth. The truth is spoken from the mouth of Princess Lianne. It will shake my heart again. [M] But such a thing is now. I'm already ready.

Then just move on. Aim for the end of the blue sky that you haven't seen yet. I will not stop this step in order to reach beyond. [M] I'm going down the stairs slowly. [M] With a firm determination, keep moving forward, keep moving forward.

Twilight still illuminates the world.
