Rimuru X Anos
8

Misha, Anos and I climbed the stairs from the lower floor to the higher floor.

"Are we going to catch up with him?" ask Misha.

Sahsa cannot use Fless to fly. We won't be able to catch up with him by walking, there's a possibility that he will run.

"That's gonna be fine." Anos then lifted his feet an inch off the floor, then lowered them hard at the top of the stairs. The dungeon began to rumble and tremble. The vibration is so strong, I can still stay on my own, but not with Misha. He clung to Anos' arm, resisting the vibrations. The shock continued for a minute, then faded.

"You can let go of Misha now" Anos said

"What did you just do?" ask Anos

"I slightly changed the layout of the basement. Now we can catch up with him no matter what."

We continued forward, revealing a brightly lit room. It was a room with a natural magic circle that we passed through earlier.

Sasha was there. He just stood up and looked confused as to where to go. Of course this was because Anos had already changed the layout of this place, he would not be able to leave here unless Anos himself allowed to leave.

"Hey Sasha." call Anos

Sasha flinched and turned around, clutching her wand tightly and asked if it was Anos so she couldn't get out of here. Anos only answered with no care which caused Sasha to become wary.

"If you want to snatch the scepter you must step over my corpse" he said trying to provoke us.

"We're here because Misha wants to make up with you." Anos informed Sasha of our intentions.

Sasha's eyes flashed "Are you stupid?" she snapped to Misha "Have you forgotten what I just did to you?" hearing the sharp words from Sasha. Misha just looked at him.

"How stupid are you? You too, Anos! The rimuru! Don't believe what the crippled doll says, she doesn't even have a life or a source. Tomorrow he'll disappear!"

"We already know everything." I said "I'm honestly a little disappointed that Misha never told us when we were a team" Looking at Misha, she seemed to feel guilty. It seems I made him think too much, I was so bad.

[...]

"I understand.so he told you" he murmured." Aren't you acting too alive for a doll? Aren't you afraid of disappearing?"

"No. My disappearance had been decided from the beginning," Misha said calmly."But, before that I want to make up with you. That's it"

Sasha's gaze sharpened

"I want to know"

"About what?"

Misha asked nervously, "Sasha...Do you hate me?"

Sasha did not answer. He turned towards Anos and asked him to bet. Sasha would draw a magic circle, if Anos could use it to cast spells in one experiment, then Anos won. But if Anos can't do it then Sasha wins

Why did he look so confident, had he not lost to Anos before?

[If you don't know what magic it is to start a magic circle, you have to understand the formula in full at first glance]

The maximum people who draw magic circles will have the ability to win?

[True]

He deserves to be very confident, at least

Anos and Sasha did Zecht. Sasha turned around and walked to the center of the room, where she closed her eyes and raised the staff in both hands. Magic particles at his feet and formed the base of the magic circle to cover the entire floor in this ruanagan.

Ten minutes had passed and Sasha was still making the magic circle and it looked like it would still take longer.

"How long will this last?" ask Anos

"Don't worry I'll finish it in the middle of the night, before the doll disappears." replied Sasha who was still making the magic circle.

"If you challenge me, you better make sure you're really ready. All of your little tricks will eventually go to waste" said Anos starting to get upset, it's only natural that Sasha was seen buying time for a while before Misha disappeared, maybe she wanted Anos to panic and fail.

"At least we gave him the opportunity to do so Anos. Sasha needs concentration to do it, right? We let it go." I said trying to calm Anos down and luckily it worked.

"You're right. To honor your courage I will not see until this circle is finished." Anos then sat down and closed his eyes.

"Look at me I will definitely win this one" said Sasha who returned to focus on drawing the magic circle carefully.

Misha stared at Sasha, reluctant to blink as she burned Sasha's gaze into her memories. Maybe because Misha loves Sasha sincerely. I doubt if Sasha doesn't have the same feelings either.

*

Time passed until fifteen minutes before midnight and Sasha managed to complete her magic circle.

"Anos" call Sasha

At last.

I stood up and used my Ajai Eye on the circle, but it was still incomplete. "Don't tell me you haven't made it in time."

"Done" Sasha reached out her hand, activating one last component, a huge natural magic circle filled the room.

I used my eyes to analyze the spell formula. Tens of thousands of runes would take all day to decipher it, but I could see it with one look, this spell would be a child's play. Yet...

Sasha smiled."I know the limits of my power. I really want to lose this match_but I don't want to lose to fate!"

Lose by destiny, huh?

"As you can see, my goal is to get you to activate a bigger magic spell."

"Solid plan. If I want to win I have to activate the spell. But if I refuse, I'll lose and you'll still order me to activate the spell"

As long as there was Zecht, no matter the outcome Sasha would achieve her goal. Of course, it was not impossible for me to resort to violence to get out of it...But it won't be fun.

"To honor your wisdom and courage, I accept my victory." I hold my hand above the circle. By aligning my power wavelength with Sasha's, it starts the activation process.

"I've never seen this spell before. What'sthat?" Rimuru asked, she walked a little closer to me.

"It's called Zexis, I developed it myself."

"It's a very complex spell it's only natural that Sasha wants you to do it for her." Apparently Rimuru could also figure it out. He must have a Magic Eye that might be almost on par with me.

"You're right, it's the equivalent of Jio Graze."

Zexis' target is Sasha herself, and the one she is allied with is Misha. "Show me your resolution." I activated Zexis. The blue light particles floated like fireflies, gathering around Sasha in the center of the circle. The light gets brighter and brighter until the room is colored blue_then disappears, to the previous state.

"Is it over?" ask Sasha

"Yes, this is my victory, you know what to do next?"

He's nodding.

"I will use liknos to ensure your honesty" I said

"It's okay for me" Sasha agreed

I looked at Misha with a questioning look, and she nodded back. Then I activated Liknos.

"Misha," said Sasha to her sister "In ten minutes or so, you'll disappear."

Misha nodded

"How does it feel?"

Misha replied in her usual tone without the expression "I'm not afraid"

"I understand." Sasha looked at her sister "You want to know what she's like?"

"Yes..."

"alright. It's the end." Sasha took a deep breath

I focused my mind on Liknos, I could hear his thoughts through magic

Here's finally.

You never existed from the beginning. There is nothing more unpleasant about having copies of yourself hanging around all the time.

...If only I really thought like that, things would be a lot easier.

When I have no control over my Magic Eyes ... You're the one standing next to me. The only one who looked me in the eye. Who smiles at me.

Thanks to you I can stop hurting other people, just as long as they don't make eye contact with me. I can go out and laugh with the other demons. But you_you who don't exist are always alone.

For fifteen years, I enjoyed my life to the fullest. This is enough for me I want to give you the rest.

You said it was fate, but I refused to accept it. Our bodies and souls split in two. I'm the real one, but I'm sure if there's a way to change it, that's why I spend time researching magic.

Dino Jixes used our magic wavelengths to distinguish the two of us. By using Zexis, my source has been identical to yours. 

With my own strength it won't work, but thanks to Anos, I made it in time. All that's left is for it to work and you'll be the real one.

You must recognize yourself and reject me. I've been preparing for this moment for so long to make you hate me.

Here's finally.

Sorry Misha I can't tell you the truth. I might have to pay Zecht the price, but I'm still going to disappear.

"Listen, doll"

Look, Misha.

"I always, always, hate you."

I always, always, love you.

"So.disappear."

So then... Goodbye, Misha, my beloved sister.

"Dell..."

As Sasha finished chanting, they were shrouded in a blinding light, and then the light disappeared.

The two sisters remained unchanged. With a half-struck, half-confused expression, sasha looked at her sister's face. "No...Why...?"his voice was full of despair. His magic has failed. She almost cried.
