Something felt inside Darren's body. For a moment, his back felt cold but then, it felt very warm and comfortable.
"Did I die?" Darren said inwardly, with a feeling of despair and resignation. "I've been dead twice, huh?"
With his eyes half-closed, Darren looked at Accel's smiling face wide from a distance. He really intended to kill Darren this time.
"Ah, right. I'm dead" Darren said again. "I have met my end in this world. It won't be this short."
Darren was on the ground. With his sight farsighted, he looked at his fingers. He moved it and felt his hands very light.
"Well, how light?" Mumbled.
He opened his eyes again, as if remembering something. He moved his finger quickly, and his hand, all felt light.
"What the fuck? Why am I not dead?"
He tried to get up and right, he could stand up easily without any difficulty at all.
"Did the Wither magic not work?" Her thought.
He began to hold his back until he felt a rag flaring in the wind.
"Oh yeah, I forgot," he said. "I'm wearing a magic robe."
Accel stood there in surprise. He didn't think the magic wasn't working.
"What's? She immune?" Speak Accel while tarplongo.
Darren immediately stood up and clasped his sword back.
"How can!?" Acceler said in disbelief. "Wither magic is a death magic. There's no way you can survive that magic!"
Darren replied with a chuckle. "Main you're less distant, Accel. You claim to be a witch, but about this you know nothing."
Accel gritted his teeth in annoyance. "Whisper! I'll beat you this time!" His shouting. "I'm sure you've run out of Mana. There's no way you can win."
Darren laughs. "I don't agree with the way you think that people underestimate people."
Darren takes a meditative position. Witnessed by Accel and Friedlich's soldiers, he began to cross his legs and move his fingers to form the letter O.
"Done," he said afterwards.
Accel saw Darren standing up. Confused by what Darren did?
"What are you doing?" Ask in high notes.
Darren simply smiled without answering. He simply raised his right hand to the sky and cast a spell.
"Non-elemental Spell: Weather Modification!"
The clouds immediately billowed and the sky turned dark. Rainwater began to fall not so heavy spatter.
At first Accel just gawked at Darren's magical abilities, but he finally came to his senses.
"He deliberately used magic as great as this just to show that he still had a lot of Mana" Accel told him. "Cannot be. After those two fights he still had plenty of Mana?"
"No-no, I was wrong. It's not about how much Mana he has, but how fast he fills his Mana."
"Deeing from the style of his sitting earlier, it was definitely not an ordinary thing. It must be some sort of Mana filling ritual. But do humans have that kind of ability?"
Darren looked at Accel's panicked face. Accel seems to know the truth.
"So how?" Ask Darren.
Accel stomped his foot. He raised his staff and shouted to Darren, "I'll take your ability!"
Then Accel started to step forward in the rain.
Seeing that, Darren raised his hand to chest-high and spread it out with an open fist. "Ho... Are you approaching me? Instead of running you'd rather come to me?" He said with a little improv.
"I won't lose to you this time!" Reply Accel.
"Ho.ho.ho, then, get as close as you want," continued Darren continue the reference.
"Water Shot!" Accel immediately attacked without much talk.
Pew! Pew! Accel's water attack was easily avoided by Darren.
With his Mana fully recovered, his body felt light and his strength increased far from before.
"Ha! Ha! I can dodge easily," Darren said with a laugh as he continued to jump to and fro.
Accel was irritated. His attacks were futile, while his Mana continued to diminish. He must carry out an effective attack.
"It's no use if I keep fighting. Judging from the condition alone, you could say I was harmed here," thought Accel. "Whatever I'm doing, there's nothing useful. I have to find another way to defeat him, even if it's a sneaky way."
"Ah yes, the Lizardmen Village..."
Accel extended his wand to the sky. Seeing that, Darren prepared his sword.
"Water Flower Blooms!"
Ltciuu!!! A giant water bubble was blown into the sky.
Darren was already whistling to dodge, but what he saw left him confused and panicked.
"What's he doing? The attack was not directed here" Darren said in his heart.
The water bubble exploded in the sky. Without causing any damage.
What exactly is the plan? Is this one of his plans, too?
Darren frowned, as he began to realize that Accel had no intention of attacking him at all.
"You've lost, Darren!" Shouting Accel.
Darren's starting to wake up. It wasn't an attack, but it was a warning.
"Fuck up! It was a signal for the troops" Darren said.
"Damn you Accel!" Shouted Darren annoyed.
Accel just laughed. He then cast blind magic on Darren and ran away from it.
"Damn it, he ran away" Gerrutu Darren. "How many enemies have I let escape?"
There's no point in chasing Accel. He had to save the village first. Darren thought of leaving right away, but what about Akira? Should he take her too?
"Esema-sama," Suddenly Fak came to him. "You go. We'll keep the Captain until he wakes up."
Darren was a little surprised. Don't they know he's a criminal?
"Yes, that's right. We owe you our lives" Fak's friend continued.
Darren felt overwhelmed by their actions. He also believed it.
"Alright, I leave him to you, " Darren said as he left the place.
.
.

Steppe... Steppe... Steppe... Darren kept running through the trees.
"Ahead is the village of Lizardmen. I hope everyone is okay" Darren said.
Once there, sure enough. The Erobernesian army was fighting against the adventurers. Wait, adventurer?
"ah! Them!" Darren said, "They were the adventurers we captured back then. I didn't think they were going to help the Lizardmen."
But even with the help of some adventurers, the Lizardmen still lost far from the European army. Their numbers were overwhelming, even hundreds of times compared to the combined adventurers and Lizardmen.
"Great, I have to help them."
Darren immediately jumped off the bushes and appeared before the adventurers and Lizardmen.
"Woah, it's Darren!" Kanrei said enthusiastically, while trying to hold back some soldiers.
"Kanrei, long time no see" Darren replied as he approached.
With that brief meeting, Kanrei told Darten how the village was.
"I didn't think Accel would send a third of the royal army just for this kind of matter" Darren said as he held off several soldiers. "How are Riuku and Takara?"
"They're fine, they're with the villagers, we've evacuated into the forest, including the animal humans you've sent here." Reply Kanrei.
"Ah, so they've arrived, yes," Darren said. "Then, what about Kaido?"
"He's fighting somewhere else" Kanrei continued. "Just calm. I'm sure he's fine. Some adventurers were with him too."
Darren smiled with relief.
"But this army is too much, we can't hold it much longer" Kanrei said. "Some Lizardmen have fallen. But thanks to the help of adventurers, they were successfully treated even though they were not one hundred percent cured."
"The situation is very cornering us" Darren said. "We have to run."
"Run?"
"Yes. I'll lure them away. Then use that opportunity to get everyone to run away."
"But it's very risky for you. Against all the troops alone, have you gone mad?"
"There is no other choice" Darren said. "They won't hesitate to kill us. We shut up, then we die."
Suddenly, a loud voice came from the direction of the Erobernesian troops. It was Accel.
"Darren!" Say it out loud. "Give up now!"
Things become quiet. They're all waiting for answers from Darren.
"What if I refuse?" Ask Darren.
"What if I kill your friend right now?" Reply Accel while showing Akira who has been caught, along with his troops.
"about!" Call Darren. But Akira still fainted.
Darren was silent not knowing what to do. It's very upsetting this time.
Continuing to fight will certainly only bring bad things, seeing from the situation now. But surrendering also does not guarantee that the Lizardmen village will be safe.
"I can't choose one!" Gerricks Darren. "Damn! Damnit damnit! Shit!"
As Accel smiled widely waiting for a response, and a look of despair was clearly visible in Darren's eyes. Suddenly a lightning bolt struck from the sky.
Duars!!! The lightning struck several Erobernesian soldiers. From the strike also appeared a wolf that looks familiar in Darren's mind.
The soldiers were shocked and lost their vigilance towards Akira.
Swooshes! Someone immediately carried Akira and brought him to Darren.
"That's..." Darren said slowly.
"Yo.. hello Darren!" It was Ravenna. "Over time I don't see you."
"Ravenna!" Darren's reply was excited.
"It looks like I'm late, but it's better than nothing" Ravenna said.
The Erobernesian soldiers began to whisper to each other.
"Isn't that a famous adventurer?" Whisper them.
"Yes right. If it's not wrong, her name is Ravenna."
"Did he defend the monsters too?"
Ravenna looked around. "As I expected, they are numerous" he said of the royal forces.
"Yes, we even lacked strength against them" Darren replied.
"Calm down, I'm not here alone" Ravenna said.
Pwwftt!!! Ravenna let out a whistling sound with her mouth.
Goblins suddenly sprang up besieging the numerous armies of Europe. They carried swords, spears, arrows, and shields.
The soldiers were surprised.
"Goblin and Lizardmen working together? It's so bad!"
The army of mali gusar. But Accek again shouted a warning.
"You think just with the help of a Goblin like this would scare us?" His shouting. "We are the Erobernesian Army! We won't be afraid of such lowly monsters!"
"We'll see" replied Ravenna. "When you've lost."
Darren smiled broadly. The fighting spirit within his soul was once again blazing. He pulled out his sword and prepared for the third round of fighting.
"Let's get ready."
