“Money is important. You shouldn’t say you don’t need it so easily.”
Humility and selflessness were virtues, but taken too far, they could lead to trouble.
“──Alright, then… we’ll accept it.”
“Nina?”
Nina, who had been silent, nodded as if she’d made up her mind. Laura looked a little surprised. Perhaps Nina usually didn’t speak up in such situations.
“It’s fine. Sure, we couldn’t fight like Ur or Seven Heaven-sama, but we did our best.”
“But…”
“Besides, we’re broke right now.… Read more

“I can inspect the spear part as much as you want, and for the right price, I can fix it too. But this core? No idea.”
“What a pain in the ass, seriously…”
It was one of the reasons dragon fang spears were so niche. But on the other hand, there was no doubt that this spear had saved his life in the recent battle. Even after the reckless act of jumping from a tower, it hadn’t broken and had protected him, completing its job.… Read more

Final Chapter
Evil lurks underground.
To escape the radiance of the sun god Zeuradia, they flee to places where the sun’s light cannot reach.
In this world, there exists a saying like that. And in that sense, the place where “she” resides perfectly fits that proverb. It was a room deep in the dark, underground.
Lined up and scattered around were nothing but ominous magical tools and the remnants of experiments.
There were no traces of human life here.… Read more

“I was annoyed that you were doing everything on your own and carrying all the burden.”
That was the sole reason Ur fought.
No other reason came to mind, no matter how much he thought.
“…………That’s it?”
Hearing this, Diz was momentarily speechless, then shook Ur’s shoulders and asked again, incredulous.
“Eh…just that!? You came all the way here and did something so reckless!?”
“Yeah, that’s it.”
“You entrusted your life to a woman who was trying to kill your sister!?”… Read more

[GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!]
Feeling the intensity of the flames, the dragon realized it was on the verge of defeat.
The shape of the wing holding the core magic stone mutated. The tail that had been dealing with Ur also transformed sharply, and the burned tongue writhed without waiting to regenerate. All of the dragon’s weapons were now aimed at Diz—or more precisely, at the terrifying Blazing Flame Sword, Akane, she wielded.
──That alone, that alone must be eliminated at all costs!… Read more

First strike. Ur bent his body even lower, slipping under the tail’s swing.
Even so, it was a close call. The sound of his armor and skin being gouged rang out, but he didn’t hesitate and kept moving forward.
Second strike. The tail shot straight out like a spear.
Ur twisted his neck, and the tail grazed his cheek, drawing blood. But it wasn’t a direct hit. He kept moving forward.
Third strike.… Read more

The necromancer’s grotesque form was not a blessing or even a curse—it was merely food for the dragon.
Diz felt no pity at this realization. What crossed her mind were her two companions. The black-purple core stone she had tasked with destruction was here. That meant Ur and the others had failed.
Had they been defeated, or had they died?
Diz naturally assumed the worst and was disappointed—not in them, but in herself for entrusting them with the task.… Read more

Chapter 8: The Hero
Once upon a time.
In an age of chaos, when the worship of gods and spirits was desecrated by the hands of those who followed an evil deity, darkness reigned.
“Then, will you grant this to me? [Flame Spirit Faranan]?”
[So it shall be.]
The founder of the Luckbird family, an ancestor of Rose Luckbird, had made contact with the [Flame Spirit Faranan].
Though he was no priest, nor did he own a shop at the time—he was merely a wandering merchant.… Read more

The magical core that Magica, who had repaired the dilapidated Dragon Fang Spear, had installed as its heart was a dubious piece of equipment in terms of safety. Ur had been using it knowing this, but it had never reacted like this before. It was pulsing intensely.
At the spear’s tip was the black-purple Core Magic Stone.
“—Who cares right now!?”
Something was clearly happening, but Ur discarded his thoughts. There was only one thing to do now.… Read more

——Advanced Magic: Second Stage is something multiple skilled mages should wield together. Don’t even think about doing it alone.
The instructors who taught Shizuku magic, though they all fawned over her charm, never budged on this point. It was proof they were excellent mages themselves, and even they couldn’t imagine performing such magic alone or in small numbers.
Advanced Magic: Second Stage wasn’t about praying to spirits—it was the technique of those who dared to challenge them.… Read more
