"You said something funny earlier when you heard the [dark] explanation, Valerie. Sure..."

"Behind this room there is a device that extracts all the magic from the subject"

I recall Valerie's explanation.

"Was it a device for a simple reproduction of the 'Dark Chain'?

I gave him a nigga laugh.

Blood draws from the face of opposing Valerie.

"Ki, are you kidding me?"

I guess I got it.

What am I up to?

At first, I was just going to kill this guy.

It was Valerie who put the spell directly on me.

Hate, hate, couldn't help it.

I've been resenting him for the past two years.

But I still can't get tired of just killing him.

I want to make you suffer more and let you despair more.

And for that, I'm gonna take away what he cares most about.

"Shea, cut Valerie's tendons on her hands and feet. Let them stop moving, and then we'll take them to the device."

If I get up to ten meters closer to him, I'll kill him without question.

Let Shea run it until it's critical.

But I'll finish the last one.

I understand, Master Chrome.

Nod, shea pulling out the sword.

Its eyes are so sharp as to be frightening.

Look at their experiments until they get here, is it because they're angry?

The lack of forgiveness for outrageous opponents may be sharper than before.

"Oh, come on..."

Later Valerie.

"'Thunderstorm'!

The advanced magic of a thunderbolt was unleashed.

Shea, don't move yet.

"Yes."

As I instructed, Shea stops on the spot.

Shortly afterwards, the lightning struck her and vanished.

Whether that's an attack targeting Shea, if it's an attack that wraps me around, it can damage and erase it with a skill effect.

"Ku......!

As in a hurry, Valerie strikes further offensive magic in a row.

The flames, the ice, the wind, the invisible energy...

The whole thing was blown away by my skills.

"Go, Shea"

Predicting the timing, I ordered the [subordinate] girl.

"[Acceleration]"

Shea turns into a red flash.

Unleash magic continuously, aiming for the moment when you need a Magic Charge by the next attack - the timing of that moment.

"Damn...!?"

Shea, who swung around behind Valerie at speeding speed, mutilated Valerie's tendons on both legs.

Plus, both arms.

"Gu, ahhhhhhhhhh......"

Valerie screaming bitterly.

Now, don't move.

I glanced down cold at the guy who was going around.

"Shea's sword is faster than you use magic at this distance. If you feel any strange signs, she'll kill you instantly. Okay?

Stab Valerie with a nail.

"Yulin, you in for revenge, too?

I'll check with the girl behind me.

"... Yes, no, I am"

Yulin shakes her neck left and right as she sifts.

I'm looking at Valerie with a merciful look somewhere.

Do you have pity on even the one who put a spell on you?

She may not be the right personality for 'revenge'.

No, you're a more normal person over there, and I'm weirder?

I don't know.

Well, I don't care about that now.

I just do what I want.

"Bye, Shea. Take me to the back of the room."

I understand, Master Chrome.

Shea, on the other hand, nodded without hesitation.

Grab Valerie's arms and drag them to the front of the capsule as if they were carrying luggage.

Behind the room, there was the device.

It has the appearance of a cylindrical demonstrator device and a tube-connected helmet.

There was a manual on the side so I looked through.

"... I see,"

Even though I lost my magic powers, I'm a former wizard.

I had an approximate idea of these demonstrators, even at first sight.

According to the manual, if you put this over your head and activate the device, you can root out the subject's magic.

Two years ago, I was cursed, like I lost all my magic.

Even so, this is only a device for 'taking away the subject's magic'.

It doesn't look like you can wear the power of [Darkness], like the "Chain of Darkness" I was put on.

Shea, connect him to the device.

"... Huh! No, don't, Chrome!

Valerie exclaimed.

but I can only shake my body and do things to the extent of twisting because of the cleavage of my tendons in my hands and feet.

Shea held it down without effort and put a helmet over his head.

I messed with the device and finished setting it up.

All you have to do is press the start switch.

"Valerie, are you ready?"

"Ugh... don't... please don't..."

I looked down at Valerie.

"There's no way you can end this brain of mine, this magical ability, in this place! With my power, the magical civilization of mankind will develop more! So, please... my disciple!

Valerie screaming.

My obsession with magic is just as intense.

"What is the magical civilization of mankind? White. You just want to satisfy your intellectual appetite. I guess I've been going to hell with people I can't count for that. I'll finish that now. Let us be eternally distinguished from the magic guide you've spent your life exploring."

"Yes, I don't like it. Ahhh!

He turned pale and exclaimed.

I didn't know I could worship Valerie's face like this, which was always tarnishing.

Losing the power of magic is still harder for him than dying.

"Yu, forgive me... Chrome, only to take away the magic... because I'll do anything else! Yum, I forgive you. Come on!

Valerie pleads in desperate shape.

"Anything...?

"Yes, do as you command!

Saying, Valerie stuck her face down and started licking the floor.

Probably would have licked my shoes if it was possible, but unfortunately if I got that close, he'd be dead.

Looks like he's licking the floor instead.

The man who was the best wizard in the world and my master... is a miserable thing.

"I'll tell you what, I've already got a certain audio recording orb from Irina. The content confessed to the work of the Brave Party two years ago. If this spreads, your brave names will fall to the earth."

"Huh...!

Valerie's face caught on.

"Even if we lose our magic, it will be possible to take an apprentice and have the research substituted. But if the sin of a brave party comes to light, you will be pursued as a sinner. The insane man who no longer wants to be a disciple shows up."

"Oh, my..."

"That's it. The path you've spent your whole life searching for is now cut off... by my hand."

Put your hands on the switch slowly so you can show it to him.

"Come on... come on... yeah..."

Valerie's expression turns from anger and sorrow to despair, to nothingness even more like giving up everything.

No matter what you do anymore, no matter what you say, have you realized it's no use?

And I...

The switch was pressed.

At the same time, a blinking flash wraps Valerie around.

"Gu, ahhhhh...!

Physical pain, or mental that?

Or both - Valerie screamed.

It was a cry of despair, deprived of my magic and deprived of everything I had explored my whole life.
