Chapter 252.2. It Was Late To Appear

“I had thought it was a trap meant for me... But it seems I was mistaken.”

Elizabeth, who should have been ahead, appeared holding a board and stared at Mii-chan sternly.

“...I wouldn’t set up a trap like this. I’m serious and straightforward.”

“I find it hard to trust what you say... So, what about this trap?”

“You know, right?”

“Yes, I suppose. I had assumed you were the one who set the trap since you were waiting for me despite being ahead.”

“Ah... Yeah, that’s true. I guess from another perspective, It could look that way.”

Oh, dear. That’s right. It’s true. Menou Marquisate set this trap as a susceptible trap. But it could have been Mi-chan who set them too.

Because she was thinking from her point of view, she hadn’t considered that possibility.

Mistake, mistake.

“...Within Menou Marquisate, we couldn’t command this many creatures.”

“You have someone helping you, don’t you?”

Elizabeth’s expression turned pained when she looked at the icy fragments mixed with blood. But in this world, which had deviated from the original story, Solomon’s influence had become more noticeable.

Whether they had revealed their true power, elevated their technological level, or perhaps both, the possibility of them controlling creatures at this level was high. Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates

If it wasn’t Solomon, it would be Kanna Dukedom or Menou Marquisate using acquired technology, which would be troublesome in its own right.

“My father is a man without pride. But he wouldn’t cross such a dangerous bridge. If he set up such an obvious trap during the race, even without supervision, there’s a high chance that evidence of it will get discovered.”

“Mmm... So, Elizabeth-chan, you see it that way...”

Magic circles appeared at our feet, and the power of mana surged out.

“Ugh!”

“What’s this!”

The power of mana transformed into a physical tempest, a force so potent that it sent Mii-chan and Elizabeth flying.

[Magic Break]

Space distorted as the magical armor and floating boards covered in the light of mana erupted in smoke.

“M-Magic! My body enhancement vanished too!”

While Mii-chan couldn’t move as she heard Elizabeth’s panicked voice from somewhere in the distance, the world was trembling.

It’s a magic that rattled our existence.

[Magic Break]

It was the ultimate magic in the original work, capable of breaking any and all magic. To illustrate its magnitude, even for [Dispel Magic], the success of dispelling magic depends on one’s magical power and the magnitude of the opponent’s magical power.

But [Magic Break] was different. It automatically succeeded in dispelling magic without question.

Someone must secretly lay it on the ground. They must have used the Mist Dragon to lead us into it.

No one, not even Miu, would have anticipated something like setting up [Magic Break] on the ground.

The light of the magic circles illuminated Miu and Elizabeth, and the magic on their magical armor and float boards was undone, turning them into mere lumps of metal.

“This magic is Shin-sama’s! Why...”

As her magic gets dispelled, Elizabeth, who had turned back into an ordinary girl, fell to her knees. Her body-strengthening magic had been completely gone, and she couldn’t withstand the weight of the magical armor and float board.

As for Miu, the impact from [Magic Break] coursed through her body, shaking her existence. She couldn’t move. Her eyes widened in shock and agitation.

[Initiate Magic Circle]

A vivid crimson magic circle covered the sky, giving way to a blazing column of radiant flames, transforming the world into a realm of scorching inferno. Unable to resist, our bodies consumed by the searing heat of the flames.
