"Goodbye, my love..." as White murmured sadly, that's what happened. White was stunned by the sudden incantation.

How is it possible, she can't still be alive. In his field of vision, the bottom was still full of avalanches and whirlpools of ice. Just when he was thinking about why, a spear flew out from the avalanche.

"——!?"

Fortunately, he turned his head to avoid the incoming spear. Although he dodged slightly, there was still a wound on the right face and burn marks caused by the flames.

The final struggle...

However, her eyes moved quickly.

Is it really true? White's expression became serious.

The endless chanting, where exactly is it, there is no place to escape.

White suddenly turned around, and where she looked was the target of the spear she had just dodged. What happened was the very strategy that had deceived White, Noel's original ruse.

——It is the exchange of the spear and oneself.

"I won't let you succeed!"

White releases the avalanche of ice and snow below upwards. In addition, the falling ice cubes also gathered on the spear. However, in the next moment she felt stupid.

The sound comes from below. With that sound, fire surged from below with an intensity that made the mountains roar. His eyes trembled, White turned his head sharply, and saw Noel's body was as dark as a rag, covered in burnt marks.

“Isn’t there an exchange—!?”

White noticed from Noel's body that the flames of the spear formed a defense around him. However, for Noel, who had no resistance, this was tantamount to suicide.

More importantly, even if he endured everything, survival would be impossible.

Baffling, contrary to theory, too baffling. But Noel smiled: "There's enough time." As soon as he finished speaking, a magic circle appeared in White's heart.

"Well--!?"

By the time he realized something was wrong, White was already fixed in space. Smiling Noel extended his burnt black hand to White.

"My, 'all'."

White looked up to the sky in shock. Righting avalanches and ice flying through the air, and flaming spears flying towards her. Noel derived a large amount of water from the spear, separated and entangled with the flames, and the speed continued to increase.

"I'll do whatever it takes," Noel said. As if proven, White conveys the terrifying magic imbued in the gun.

"Ice wall!"

White formed several walls of ice in front of the approaching spear. However, the spear continued to penetrate and rush towards the wall through derived fire and water.

"--impossible!?"

White was surprised.

--why?

She thought and searched for answers.

That fire, why it doesn't go out, why it keeps destroying the burning ice. What appeared before his eyes was the form of Noel known as Sky.

"Noel!! Why are you alive-!!"

Although she was outraged, anger was no solution to her current predicament.

“Ahhhh!!”

Several ice walls were formed again to block the advance of the spear, but the spear shattered and passed through.

Bang.

The spear ended up stabbing White in the chest, striking her armor. Under the impact of the spear, White began to plummet. The spear pierced the armor, but the tough ice within prevented its intrusion.

Creaking cuts. White looked at the ice that was infused with magic power close to her full strength. Even if it was melted by the fire, it was shattered by the flowing water.

--impossible.

This is impossible.

"No!!"

There was a trembling feeling on my back, fear, something completely different from what I had learned before. Eyes trembling, thoughts turbulent in his mind, White frantically showed an unknown side of himself.

"No!! No!! No!! No!! I don't want to die!! I don't want to die!! I don't want to die!!!"

White's right hand let go of the sword at some point, trying to grab the approaching spear with both hands to declare his death. However, the inevitable made the fingers that touched the running water fly away with a clang, and the severe pain was completely insensible to White now.

Instead, she stared at the missing fingers, her expression full of fear.

“Ahhhhhh——!!”

For the first time, I felt the fear of facing death. Therefore, the thinking cannot be stabilized, and White is not aware of it. Her ability is "teleportation".

That is, if she were just looking for escape now, she would just have to move herself, but she didn't realize it.

It may be because it is not used often in order to hide, or because there is not enough understanding of using movement as a means of combat rather than as a means of escape.

In her thinking, she did not have the option of using her powers to escape. For an instant, one of White's eyes met Noel's. Those eyes stared directly at White, only for a brief moment, but the pain of skin-cutting was visible in the moment of intersection.

White subconsciously stretched out his right hand: "Save me——"

The moment the lips moved, the feeling of the last thin layer of ice breaking came.

"——Ah." White whispered softly, savoring the feeling of the sharp blade sliding across his chest. Hitting the ground transformed into an endless impact.

This blow easily formed a huge pit in the ground, and the propulsion derived from the spear turned into flames and flowing water, blooming into a huge flower.

"——It seems that a 'monster' will appear here."

Snow is falling, and an abandoned ruins are located deep in the mountains.

Although it was a Japanese-style mansion, there was a man standing in front of White who was sitting next to the dilapidated and dilapidated house, and said.

White thought he was being rude. This man suddenly broke into her boarding place and said this as soon as he opened his mouth.

Although she was a little annoyed, she also felt that it was quite pitiful to avoid it pointlessly, so White said: "Really. So, what kind of monster is it?"

"According to the villagers, it is a man-eating monster that attacks travelers." The man said with a smile.

"Well, cannibalism and all that. It's such a scary story."

"Yeah, it's really hard to understand eating people of the same kind."

White's anger was aroused: there was no doubt that the 'monster' was himself.

However, apart from killing the travelers who lived in the mansion in self-defense, he never killed anyone else. So she has no reason to be called a monster.

"So, what are you here for?"

"Ah, the villagers asked me to come."

"For what?" White tilted his head and asked, and the man chuckled: "To drive away monsters."

White was still sitting, his right hand resting on the sword beside him. But the man stretched himself "even so" and approached White.
