If I Had To Say, I Would Say I Am A Evil Magician 52 (Patreon)

Final Method

On the other hand, Cis was riding on Cerberus and commencing her attack on Samon and the others. While having a ferocious personality and also an enormous steel-like body, this Magic Beast that Asch created possesses the super-capable range attack of simultaneously spewing flame, ice mist, and lightning clusters.

Because Cis herself is bad with it, she ordered Cerberus to use range attack as far as possible. Of course, since they're all Magicians, she can probably hunt several Magicians with a single blow if she fights at close range. However, Cis doesn't do that. According to her,

I mean, it's scary.

"Shit! Don't get ahead of yourself!"

A single Aristo believer shouts and chants his magic.

＜＜Display, The Existence Of Fire, To The Enemy＞＞ーーFlame Arrow(Fire・Emblem)

"Cer-chan! Please"

"Uoooooooooh!"

A kick. The magic he released was erased by the Magic Beast in an instant.

"Good boy good boy......"

"Kuuーn"

All three heads play with Cis together. Already, completely tamed dogs they are.

Looking at that spectacle, Samon couldn't hide his fluster entirely. He'd seen Lloyd being rendered unconscious in the corner of his eyes just now. He was defeated by Mira, and the state of the fight was leaning greatly to Asch's side. If they can't even make a dent in Cerberus, then their hands are tied.

"Won't you......stop already!?"

At that moment, Cis shouted loudly.

"......"

It appears that she ordered Cerberus to stop attacking as well. Samon, he calmly instructs the Aristo believers......no, in this war that they can't lose, it's not an overstatement to say that he had let them live for the sake of that.

Convergence Magic. The biggest and greatest secret magic that's passed down to the Aristo believers. Samon showers in the Aristo believers' magic all at once, multiplies that Magic Power, and releases it.

"The outcome is already out. I, don't want to hurt you guys anymore. I will, search for it with my all. A way to become blissful, even not as a Magician. That's why......"

"......let me consider for a bit"

Samon slowly moves his eyes and checks the state of the fight while saying. Asch and Mira. A little distance away, Cis, Cerberus, and then......an immobile Lily huh. If Asch and Mira just disappear, the remaining opponent is one Magic Beast.

"Please. It is meaningless to fight any further"

"......how is it?"

Samon confirms with the Aristo believers in a voice that Cis and the others can't hear. While pretending like he's torn between Cis' suggestion, he rejects it in his heart.

Meaningless huh. If we survive here, what do you say is there left. What about Kelly＝Lark? What about Julia＝Shindle? What do I say to the massive amount of Aristo believers that collapsed before achieving the goal.

"Archbishop Samon......I shall give you one piece of advice. It's better to stop it"

He moved his eyes to where the voice was, and Asch was opening his eyes widely. Samon desperately suppresses the chills that well up from his entire body from the jet-black eyes that looks like it saw through everything.

"......stop what?"

"Currently, what you people are trying to do"

In response to Asch's words, cold sweat gushes from Samon's back......no, it shouldn't be exposed to this Dark Magician. It's a secret technique that's kept within the Aristo believers. It's a bluff. Even if he faintly notices it, he shouldn't be able to read that it's Convergence Magic. He says to himself over and over again.

However, contrary to his thoughts, that Dark Magician's twisted expression was horribly sinister, endlessly inauspicious.

"What are you talking about?"

When he confirms the state of the Aristo believers' preparation simultaneously as he feigns composure to his utmost ability and asks him back, all of that had been completed. All that's left is, to release it......but.

"It means it's better to get aboard Cis' peaceful suggestion. You may be thinking that it's a bluff, but you overlooked something huge"

......a traitor? No, it's impossible. At the very least, as far as it goes for those who can use Convergence Magic, it's impossible that they will betray him. As expected, it's a bluff.

There's already, only one choice.

"......in that case, we'll test out whether if it's correct or not!"

When Samon shouts, the Aristo believers aim at him altogether and cast their magic.

＜＜Oh Light Of God, Gather The Apostles' Sentiments, Pass Judgement, On The Sinners＞＞ーーHoly Angel's Breath(Angel・Ray)

The Convergence Magic that gathered all twelve Aristo believers' Magic Power was released at Mira and Asch. That light was something indefinitely huge and divine.

ーーwe won, Samon was sure of it.

Even if Mira tries to dodge it, this magic pursues its target. Even if Asch is immortal, he won't be able to resurrect right away if he eats this magic.

Howeverーー

"......how foolish. Mira"

"Yes"

＜＜Oh Holy Mirror, To The Fool, Show Them, A Baptism For Their Mistakes＞＞ーーDoor Of Truth(True・Repent)

What Mira released was, Reflection Magic. It, reflected it all too easily and sent it back to where Samon and the others are.

ーーno way! No way! No way! No way!

Even as Samon was putting up a barrier with his magic, he shouted repeatedly in his heart over and over. Normally, Reflection Magic is a double-edged sword that can't reflect unless the wavelength matches. If it's famous magic that goes in a textbook then so be it, but it's not something that can reflect something she's seeing for the first time. Not even that Hazen＝Heim, is capable of such a feat.

"Gugugugugu......"

However, without even the time to think, the Convergence Magic ruthlessly assaults Samon and the Aristo believers. Samon's barrier is breaking, rapidly......it'll hold for, a few more seconds.

"Eve......ryone. Run aーー"

When Samon was in the middle of his sentence, eleven of the Aristo believers took a step in front of Samon.

"Id......you guys......what are you doing!?"

"All the best"

"St......stop itーーーーーーーーーーーー!"

Dismissing Samon's voice, the Aristo believers smiles at Samon and charges into the Convergence Magic one after another. In exchange for themselves. They turned their lives into Magic Power and ignited a Self-Detonation Magic.

A burst of blinding light and the Convergence Magic was neutralised.

All that was remaining at that spot was, Samon. And, just a single trembling and petrified Aristo believer.

"Sils......Kunoy......Sanubi......Isok......Banner......Dewynne......Shasper......Gana......Langs......Sarryu......Weirton......"

Samon mutters the names of the Aristo believers that sacrificed themselves for him with a dumbfounded expression.

"......what a sorrowful light it was. Now then, shall we go through the answer?"

"......"

Asch's low voice doesn't enter Samon's heart. However, the questions that well up one after another alone was, making him lend an ear to him. Why, the Convergence Magic was reflected......why......

"I'm versatile. I'm capable of basically anything, but there are three things that I'm especially skilled at. Demon Summoning, autopsy, and......"

"......Necromancer"

"Correct......you mustn't give me a corpse. Because I will end up ransacking through every secret"

"......"

For some reason, Samon couldn't feel hatred for Asch. Just......at the failure of his decision......just......

"......it's a pity. For it to turn out like this. Now then, let's move it to checkmate, shall we"

Asch answered indifferently.

"......Senna"

Samon calmly, calls the name of the one surviving Aristo believer.

"Hii......sorry! Sorry!"

The Aristo believer called Senna shouts while trembling.

"......why are you apologising? I have one......just one request. Bring the Holy Ark......here"

Samon rushes to him and hands him a paper

"This......is"

"......I'm counting on you. Here, apart from you, everything should be dead after all"

Samon said and smiled sorrowfully.
