An outcast dropout, surviving on the frontier and rising to become an S-ranked counter-magician.

The six flowers are to be released. It is an ability equivalent to the secret sword that Shelly created. It's not a sword technique, but magic. A magic that makes her sword skills as easy to use as possible. It is also a kind of polarity. Although it wasn't as good as the Wide Area Interference System 《Sphere》, its limited ability was definitely a perfect fit for Sherry.

''Ichinoha, White Lily--''

When Sherry announced that, fluffy white lilies appeared out of nowhere around them. Of course, Silas doesn't attack them carelessly. If you don't know what kind of ability it is, there's no need to jump in yourself.

And the flowers that appeared in large numbers exploded. At the same time, a large amount of flashes of light are created. Silas's reaction is slow, though slightly. Currently, he has discarded his vision and is predicting his opponent's attack using only his intuition. It wasn't a singular ability 《extra》, but he was able to predict Shelly's attack from his years of experience.

''........Oh no, that was a close call.

...............

Just as his eyes were getting used to it, he saw Shelly swinging her sword in front of him. But her sword strike was caught by Silas' wire. It is filled with the maximum amount of magical elements, and it will not break easily. It's because its strength can be manipulated at will. And when Silas diffuses the magic element it contains at once, it loosens the strength of the wire at once.

Shelly uses her momentum on the spur of the moment to swing her sword stupidly head-on. Silas, of course, reads the monotonous attack. He tries to insert his hand sword into Shelly's empty side, but she has a bright red flower planted in her belly.

''--The Fourth Flower, Boxwood,''

Then, with a dull bong, Silas and Shelly rolled away from each other, blown away as it was. Shelly blew herself up to prevent Silas from attacking her. It was a matter of letting him cut the flesh and severing the bones. As it was, he had definitely received a fatal wound. For this reason, he had planted a boxwood, the Fourth Flower, in his own belly. The boxwood was a blast inducer and its power was quite powerful. However, Shelly did not suppress its power. She just solidified a defensive wall with magic element in her own belly and let it explode as it was.

''Ugh, ugh........''

A pota, pota, pota, and blood drips out. I guess I hit my head from the current impact, and blood is pouring out of my forehead. Even if the head injury is minor, there is a lot of blood flowing out. At first glance, it may seem like a flashy injury, but in reality, it's a minor injury. The abdomen was more serious than that. Shelly's abdomen was completely burnt out, and it was completely blue, as if she was also bleeding internally. She lightly cast a healing spell on herself and quickly stood up and stared at the one Silas had flown over. Then, Silas gets up and stares at Shelly as well.

''........Dangerous. Watch out. That was just in the nick of time.''

Shelley swears in her mind that he is a monster, as she watches him slap his military uniform with a pang and let the dust fly. It was just as well. Silas was not hurt at all. He was just blown up by the current explosion, but he didn't have any wounds. Shelly hadn't expected much, but when he was handled so perfectly, she couldn't help but laugh at the opposite.

There is no glimpse of the strongest man in humanity at all. Nevertheless, Silas was still looking at Shelly with a grin.

''Oh no, I'm really sorry but it's just the right time. I'd like to try a few things.

...?

What do you mean, try ...?　The moment Shelly wondered that, what unfolded in front of her was a world of ice. The ground freezing all at once. She perceived it and fled into the sky.

'Good reaction. But...''

Ggh.................

The moment she flies upwards, she is knocked down by Silas, who was ahead of her. His leg kick hits her back beautifully and knocks her directly to the ground.

'Shinohana, boxwood!

Shelly fills all of the area except for where she is with boxwood. Then it explodes. She puts up a defensive wall around herself. It was a spur-of-the-moment decision. Probably the ice right now is.............................The Frozen Realm 《Frost Sphere》. I didn't think that if I reached the first level of the special class anti-magician rankings, I would be able to use the Wide Area Interference System 《Sphere》. This is because I was under the impression that those were used by magic-specialized anti-magicians. For information, he knew that Eira was good at it. However, I never dreamed that Silas, a close combat type, would use the Frozen Realm 《Frost Sphere》.

Close quarters combat, and magic. The best of humanity in both of them. Sensing the fearfulness of this, Shelly launched a carpet bombing.

''.........What.......is this.......''

The world in front of us was still an icy world. Yes, Shelly's attack didn't make any sense. And Shelly sensed the foreign object invading the complete realm of the unfolding Fortis Territoriality, which was unfolding.

''Hmm.......this is quite difficult to handle.......''

Sword attack. It was indeed a sword attack. Yet there is no indication that Silas is holding it. What he is holding is a small knife. It is a knife, but its range is undoubtedly long enough to rival a sword. I know this magic.

''Invisible Sword, Invisible Blade, I didn't know there were other users of it...''

Are there others?　Oh that's a little different. Strictly speaking.

And what's more, the unbelievable happens. Yes, there were white lilies floating around. A sudden event. Shelly hadn't activated the white lilies. And yet, what was in front of him was definitely the six flowers that Shelly possessed itself.

''........Like this?''

Bursting. A dazzling light filled this space at the same time as the white lilies exploded. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. And at the same time, she seemed to be kicked in the abdomen and rolled backwards as it was.

''Gaha...!

Combined with her earlier injuries, she felt intense pain. Plus, she was vomiting blood, as if her internal organs had been hit. Still, her heart was not broken. She was able to fight for Julia, for this humanity, too. She would prove that her efforts up to now were not in vain. That thought sustained her heart. It's not about winning or not winning. It was only whether she would stand up to it or not.

''Your gallantry, brilliant... but it's time to run out of time...''

Silas stared into the void. There was nothing there. Yet he was staring at it. Shelly was slowly regaining her sight and was finally able to stand up. But still Silas did not attack.

''Rokka, back no flower........''

A moment later, Shelly is caught in a strange sense of discomfort. It is true that she is here. And yet, the feeling that I am not here. At the same time, the imprint of Twilight Syndrome 《Twilight Syndrome》 hurts as if it were burning. The pain is so intense that she drops the sword in her hand.

''The World Shrinkage [Pycnosis] has been activated? It's about time.''

"...what, what are you talking about?

Sherry Amis. You'll have to come. You guys have someplace to go. Don't worry, I'll take you there.

What ... what in the ... what in the world ...

I began to feel dazed. I didn't even know where I was or what I was doing anymore.

'Come on, it's time to start,'

I thought that was the last time I heard Shelly's voice say those words.
