“…”

“I wish for the happiness of Evelia.”

For the sake of Evelia’s peace and happiness, he was willing to stake his life willingly.

“Now, she, at least from now on, I only wish for her to be completely happy. That’s all I wish for.”

“…”

“Yet, is there any reason to hesitate? We both clearly have our sights set on the same goal.”

Faced with a human who desired only that, Felix eventually had no choice but to surrender.

Though there was a brief bitter smile, there was no time left to linger in this way. If a decision had been made, it was the moment to swiftly put it into action.

“You cannot do it alone.”

“Then?”

“Obviously, I have to help you.”
Felix continued to observe the swelling monster and the surrounding situation, quickly adding more to his words.

“I will ask Evelia to draw my energy to the maximum. Then, I will channel the amplified energy into your sword.”

“My sword?”

“Yes. Your task is to endure until my energy is completely absorbed into the sword.”

“Just endure?”

It’s not a problem to take lightly. Even if you have exceptional qualities, you are only human. Bearing all my energy with a human body won’t be easy at all.”

“I can do it.”

“It’s not something to take lightly. There’s a possibility that your life may be in danger even before you try something against that monster. It might end up being an unequal bargain. Still, will you do it?”

“Of course.”

Caliph, as always, answered without hesitation. There seemed to be no fear in the fact that his life might be at risk or that it might become an unequal bargain.

Already expecting the answer, Felix was simply amazed. It made him briefly curious about what love could be that one would risk their life just to protect it, even if for a moment.

It would be great if there was time to learn about that emotion.

Suddenly, a somewhat bitter emotion surged at the thought that filled his mind. However, Felix regained composure.

“All right. Let’s do it then.”

After a firm answer, he found Evelia’s location. As he approached Evelia, intending to move towards her quickly, Felix, who had stopped momentarily, looked at Caliph with intense, swirling eyes.

“Hey.”

It was an unparalleled rough voice.

“I don’t know how you feel, but I…”

“…”

“I’ve always enjoyed being with you. You were a person greater than any human I’ve met, occasionally even admirable.”

However, the subsequent not-so-short words were somewhat out of place for the usual Felix. Caliph, who was somewhat puzzled, narrowed his eyes, but Felix briefly smiled and quickly turned his head. Then, he hurriedly approached Evelia.

Evelia, who had been pouring all her strength into conveying energy to both of them, looked extremely exhausted. Although her appearance was quite pitiable, there was no time to take care of her condition.

“Evelia.”

“Felix!”

Evelia, who had been keeping her eyes closed, recognized his presence only after hearing Felix’s voice.

Surprised, she took a step forward. The momentum to immediately use her abilities to amplify the energy seemed to be evident.

Felix nodded in response to Evelia’s proactive attitude. Then, he precisely and quickly conveyed his plan that might be the last.

Evelia, upon hearing Felix’s story, had a tense expression.

“So you’re asking me to amplify Felix’s energy to the maximum I can right now?”

“Yes, that’s right. But can you do it? You seem quite tired.”
Felix narrowed his forehead and sharply asked. Even at a glance, her condition seemed quite bad. It was natural. Now that she had just learned to control her abilities, she was exhausted, putting in all efforts to help Caliph and me in such a state.

But now, even if Evelia’s condition was not good, her help was crucial.

“I can do it. I’ll try.”

Fortunately, Evelia responded promptly. Although Felix knew it was asking too much from her, he deliberately ignored that fact.

After all, this might be the last favor he asked of her.

Suppressing the growing complex emotions, Felix unreservedly directed his energy to Evelia.

Evelia felt the suddenly rushing force, putting a strain on her body, but she endured, giving all her strength.

Then, she squeezed out all the remaining energy, amplifying his energy to the maximum she could manage and returning it to him.

The energy Evelia returned was once again absorbed into Felix’s body, but his power was rapidly directed towards the sword held by Caliph.

Felix’s power, or rather his life force, began to flow into Caliph’s sword. A tremendous noise erupted throughout the entire process, and an intensely bright light poured into the world, making it impossible to open one’s eyes.
