A transparent wind barrier formed over the mucus-soaked floor. Modeleine loudly ordered the panicked knights to retreat, and they were able to escape safely under Cadel's protection.

「Time remaining 09 : 23 : 09」

He had plenty of time. Having found Ergo quickly enough to overshadow his concerns, Cadel only needed to kill him in the remaining 9 hours.

‘This time, I will settle the score.’

I won't be wasting my time with ridiculous mistakes anymore.

“I'll block all attacks, so Sir Modeleine just needs to go down that hole without getting caught.”

Where Cadel gestured was a giant hole that had been torn open when Ergo first appeared. Surely the swamp was down there.

“Are you sure about that? The demon's attack might be focused on Sir Cadel, not me.”

“That's even better, because my specialty is counterattack, not protection.”

Blue electricity crackled in his lightly flexed hands.

“That....!”

Just a moment ago, he was creating a wind barrier, and now he was using lightning. A multi-attribute magician?
