The flames became increasingly vivid.

The flames attached to the various trees did not spread around, but merely burned brightly and fiercely.

As if expressing someones emotion.

The first thing that caught Ians eye as he ran up close to the flames was the face of the upper guard who seemed to have lost his mind.

He was dashing away with his back to the flames, perhaps having fallen off his horse.

Theres a demon here- a demon-

Kwaaaah!

It was right after tha, that a dazzling pillar of fire swallowed him up.

By the time Ian arrived nearby, the pillar of fire had subsided, and a charred corpse crumbled out from inside.

Beyond that, Lucis sitting figure was revealed.

Her robe rustling roughly.

Hair sticking up.

Her eyes flickering a mixture of yellow and orange.

And her face distorted with sorrow and anger.

It was not at all difficult to figure out why she, who is usually expressionless, had such an expression.

Right in front of where she sat slumped, Miguel was lying down.

The surroundings were soaked in blood.

It must have been because his arm was cut off.

Luci was desperately clutching Miguels left arm, severed below the wrist and mid-forearm.

Probably trying to stop the bleeding even a little.

!

It was then that Lucis gaze turned sharply toward Ian.

With her eyes flickering convulsively.

Startled by the creepiness that followed, Ian lunged forward.

Kwaaah-

A pillar of fire shot up right behind him.

Heat so intense he could feel it.

After rolling on the ground, Ian steadied himself and looked at Luci.

Her eyes wavered.

I, Ian sir?!

Yes, its me.

What have I, what have I done.

The pillar of fire instantly dispersed, and the flames burning the surrounding trees lost their power.

Lucis trembling lips let out;

Im sorry. Im so sorry!

No need to apologize. Its fine.

Ian got up and took a step forward.

He had no intention of holding her accountable for actions done reflexively in such a situation.

Moreover, there was something more important at the moment.

Miguel, Miguel!

Luci finally burst into tears.

Without paying attention to the surroundings, Ian approached and checked Miguels condition first.

His left arm cleanly severed off from about mid-forearm.

His leather armor torn from the left shoulder down to the solar plexus.

Blood was seeping out even through that.

It was then that Miguels eyes barely opened.

Brother.

Dont speak.

Couldnt goas planned

I can see that clearly.

Miguel mumbled.

He was on the verge of losing consciousness.

Ian looked at the severed end of Miguels arm that Luci was clutching.

Blood was still flowing from it.

The only way that occurred to him to stop the bleeding and prevent infection right away was one.

Ill cauterize your arm with fire. Dont try to endure it, just pass out.

Ian formed a fireball in his palm and spoke.

Miguels pale lips barely moved.

As you wish

Ian immediately moved the fireball over and brought it to the severed end of Miguels arm.

!

The smell of burning flesh. Miguel briefly thrashed before going limp. It was rather fortunate that he passed out.

After cauterizing it as precisely as he could to avoid excess burning, Ian casually tossed the fireball aside.

Thankfully, the bleeding had stopped.

Keep holding on tight.

Yes.

Luci, who had been crying as if she was the one in pain, nodded her head.

Ian immediately stood up and went over to an overturned carriage not far away.

The carriage had toppled over completely, but precisely because of that, the things underneath were mostly unharmed.

Ian rummaged under it, picked up a backpack, and came back.

Keep holding it like that.

After digging into the backpack, Ian placed a cloth over the cauterized end and began tightly wrapping a bandage around it to apply pressure.

He then motioned with his chin.

Use the cloth to wipe the blood off his body.

Luci moved swiftly.

Even though her hands were already covered in blood, she did not care and wiped away the blood that had spread over Miguels chest.

It was only then that Ian noticed something in Lucis hand.

It was not of immediate importance at the moment.

Ian finally checked the injury on Miguels now fully exposed chest.

Fortunately, it was not too deep, and the bleeding had already started clotting.

He must have fallen after blocking an attack with his arm.

Although his hand was lost, it was a better outcome than being cut in two.

Heaven has favored him.

As Ian began removing Miguels leather armor, he added.

Was this Olegs doing?

Yes.

And him?

Instead of answering, Luci turned to look behind her.

It was only then that the large charred mass lying there in the distance came into view.

It was Oleg, burned completely along with his horse.

He seemed to have died while trying to flee.

Of the horse and rider, only the magic gear they had been wearing retained its shape to some degree.

He was not the only charred corpse.

Charred remains of horses and humans were scattered about here and there.

He must have suffered. Well done.

Ian spoke as he placed another cloth over Miguels chest wound. The bleeding had almost stopped, so infection would be the main concern now.

As he wrapped a bandage over the wound, Ian continued speaking.

So, why couldnt you go according to plan?

Those peoples condition wasabnormal.

Luci spoke with a dejected gaze.

They came charging and overturned the carriage. Screaming and shouting, swearing all sorts of curses. Miguel was holding me then. He said those peoples eyes had turned.

Eyes?

Yes, really. The blood vessels in their eyes were bulging out, their eyes were rolling.

They must have been intoxicated by the tainted magic.

Ian recalled the spreading tainted magic, the smoke screen, and Oleg receding into the distance.

They must have passed through before the barrier was completed, fully absorbing the tainted magic into their bodies in the process.

Tainted magic induced various abnormal states depending on its nature.

Fear, confusion, frenzy, and so on.

The crazed expression he had seen earlier was not merely due to fear of Luci.

One of them shouted at me. Saying it was all my fault. That he would just kill me. I tried to draw my dagger, but Miguel stopped me. And then..

Luci looked at Miguels pale face and caught her breath.

It seemed painful to recall.

Just as Ian was about to say it was enough, her voice continued.

You were right, Ian. I am too young to wield a blade. He gave me this instead while saying so.

Luci wiped something she had been holding in her hand against her robe, and held it out.

It was a palm-sized talisman densely inscribed with ancient text.

He could sense condensed magic within it.

He said using this would teleport me far away. To hide somewhere safe until morning. That you would come find me then. To buy time, he told me to place my hands on both sides and channel power into it. And then he walked out in front.

He faced Oleg to save you?

Ian asked in a surprised tone.

Luci nodded her head.

Yes, I blocked the first attack. But the second one this is what happened. I couldnt use this talisman at all. All I could see was the bloodstained axe that the assailant raised again. And

You dont need to say what happened next. I can tell enough just by looking around.

The person wasnt completely wrong. It is a fact that it was all because of me.

Luci continued speaking in a voice straining to hold back tears.

Miguel ended up like this too. If I had used magic a little faster, this wouldnt have happened.

From what I can see, it seems your magic has become stronger because of what happened to this guy.

Ian, finishing up the bandaging, looked back at Luci.

Hes alive because you didnt run away.

As far as it goes for now. Swallowing the words he would have normally said, Ian added after a moment.

You did well, Luci.

Tears eventually spilled to Lucis tightly pursed lips.

The flames attached to the surrounding trees repeatedly grew and shrank.

Ian did not try to console her.

He simply let her cry, roughly re-dressed Miguels clothes, and headed for the carriage.

In his arms were many shattered remains.

Light these on fire. Put out the flames on the surrounding area. Looks like well have to stay here until this guy wakes up.

Yes. Yes

Luci replied, wiping her tears.

Her eyes and hair rippled.
