A Banished Failure Survives in the Borderland and Becomes an S-Rank Exorcist

"Hah... hah... hah..."

Lianne was running underground in the castle. She realized that there was a place to go after her abilities had been unleashed in a true sense. I broke up with Belle and found the entrance to the basement by myself. I left a trail before I went there. As a precaution, I need someone to come to this underground rescue. I think it would be fine if Julia's Twilight Site had twilight eyes, but Lianne doesn't know if she would fall to the good or the bad. Still, she chose to leave traces of the magic in this underground entrance.

And she was running alone. This vast underground space. I've never heard of such a place before. But she knew. The basement of this castle is full of unusual magic elements. I didn't realize that because the special ability I had so far (Extra) had not been reached. The same is true of Julia's unique ability, Extra.

Discovering the clever hiding, Lianne was running toward the place. It may already be too late. Still, she had no choice but to run. And finally, it was just a dark space. It's dark and I can't see anything. If you think so, there are lights all around you, one after the other, emitting light. and recognize it as a circular space. In addition, there is a door in front of you. There must be something ahead. Lianne was so sure that she could put her hand on the door and speak from behind.

"Princess, no more."

"... was it you again?"

Looking back, and being there was exactly what Lianne had expected.

"Claudia... you're a traitor..."

"Mm-hmm. Not exactly, but yeah."

"Why... why are you doing this..."

"... why? That's what I'm talking about."

Claudia continued her words with a smile.

"... to expose this world. And you already know, don't you? What's going on inside of me...."

"... twilight syndrome, level 0. That's right, but it's not. Because your body is a demon tribe itself... you won't be invaded by dusk in the first place."

"Fufufu, your famous answer... fufufu"

Lianne knew. No, I understand. By "Celestial Eye", a liberated special ability "Extra". It's much more than her elemental sensation, "Decoding Sense." Legend has it that some royalties express this celestial eye. However, the last expressor was during the Man-Man match. Since then, in other words, there has been no Celestial Eye in the sky for nearly 150 years.

But this is how Lianne got it. I saw that tough ability. The Celestial Eye reveals everything in the world. That's not a metaphor. Twilight Eyes Twilight Site, Elemental Sense Decoding Sense, and their ability to perceive the world are only partial. I only understand the surface of the world.

Meanwhile, Celestial Eyes can be perceived even inside the world. When it comes to humans, we can accurately grasp their internal structure. Magic morphology and the unique region, "The Personal Field", can also be perceived with its eyes.

And Lianne watches Claudia again in Celestial Eye. That was... not human. No, technically, it's human. But... I am also a demon. The two are in a mixed state. And she had an idea of it.

"That rumor... was true."

"Fufu, do you know?

"Man is no match for the demons. That's because human beings are so fragile. Then... you just have to create someone who's not vulnerable... I can't believe this myth..."

"But I'm not a complete success. Hey, you know that, right?

……

Lianne chewed her lips. I already had the answer to the question. No, her celestial eye already had all the information.

"Well... I guess it's about time."

When Claudia looks up at the void, a magical formation unfolds there. And there were people coming out of there.

"Gh...!!

"This is....."

"... eh?

It fell on Julia, Ella and Sherry. And the last one that came out was Cyrus.

"Cyrus, what's the status?

"Well, it's not bad. So, what about the other Premium Warriors?

"Come on. Aren't you wandering around at dusk by now? Still, I'll keep my time for a few hours."

"That's enough. Now... shall we sacrifice you four?"

◇

"--World Shrinkage" Picnosis "

While Claudia activates her magic, everyone is surrounded by dazzling light on the spot. There was a heterogeneous presence in it. It was Eira. Other Premium Warriors have already been sent to Dusk Hazard Zone Level 5.

World Shrinkage "Picnosis" is a kind of metamorphotic magic that can connect the world and parts of the world. However, it is necessary to intervene in the opponent's unique area, Personal Field. As a result, the subject can be transferred to any position.

And this time, if you have a unique area of humans, Personal Field, fly to Danger Zone Level 5. And the same thing as her flew underground in the royal castle. That's how it was set up.

Also at the same time. Yulia, who was already trying to reach the deepest depths of the basement, and Shelley, who was fighting Cyrus, were also swallowed by the light of the shrinking world, Picnosis. The effect range is not limited to Claudia's side. If the magic element is inserted into the object in advance, it is possible to connect by "Picnosis", which reduces the world. Of course, that trigger can only be triggered once if you hit the magic element once. It is not a continuous product. But that was enough.

Claudia's aim is to get those four people underground. So it's all over. The end is coming.

The situation then shifts to the final phase.

◇

"Gu... uhh..."

Careful, I was crawling on the ground. This place is...

I must have been running after Princess Lianne. But suddenly I thought it was brighter in front of me, swallowed by the magic team... they flew me here.

"Senpai, Sherry, Princess Lianne...."

And I noticed people nearby. [M] But above all, Claudia and Cyrus are worried. Why are they standing there at a distance? It's like... it's hostile to us...

"Well, you've got all the actors. Cyrus, can you hold him?

Ah.

And the four of us are bound by wire. You are suspended from space and deprived of your liberty.

What... what the hell... how did this happen...?

"Senpai, Sherry, Princess Lianne!! Are you alright!??

"Uhh... uhhh..."

"Uuu...."

"Julia-san, run... run... uuuu... uuu..."

Senpai and Shelly were already unconscious. Princess Lianne, on the other hand, seemed to be able to speak, but her voice was faint. I wonder if he's injured or something...

For now, we have to deal with this situation...

"Yulia kun. The plan has changed dramatically because of you. But I'd be happy if I could do this at the end. So just be quiet, okay?

The words made me understand. [M] These two... were traitors...

"You guys were traitors!! Together, we've been fooling humans forever, in chaos, to kill humans!!!

Anger. I was dominated by anger. Situation. Situation you can't escape already. The traitors were Claudia and Cyrus. No, there's no respect for these two anymore. Claudia and Cyrus... set off that raid... and drove so many people to death.

"Please be quiet ~. Because I'm ready. Cyrus, why don't you talk to Tequito?

"... there's nothing else to talk about."

Claudia is drawing a magical formation on the ground as to what she is preparing. While we're doing that, Cyrus is approaching us.

"... it's okay. You'll be part of the Cephalotto Tree. I'm not going to die completely."

"You killed mankind... and Ellie..."

"Ellie? Oh, he's got the truth. So I killed him."

"Why... why did you do that!!

"Stupid question. No one should know the truth. It will interfere with our plan. Obstacles must be removed. Isn't it?

"Oh no... there's no way I can allow that!!

"Forgive me, don't forgive me. It is no longer such a dimension. That's all we do."

"What... what are you talking about... and what are you... what are you talking about... what are you talking about... what are you talking about... what are you talking about?!!

Dan's last words. I also remembered that.

"Dan? Ah... that guy. It was a good experiment, but still humans can't be demons. Twilight Syndrome was found to be only a disease and not one that could be attributed to the Devil race. That alone was worth it to him. Don't you think? Besides, it was very helpful in expelling you at dusk. [M] At the time, I left it to his discretion, but the result was success. Besides, it's easy to move when you put up the money. Well, I carved the curse" Curse "so as not to divulge any information, but he was a good token."

"Useful in banishing me.....?

Isn't that Dan's decision? Isn't he the only one who abandoned me to survive?

"Hmm, I'll tell you a souvenir from the underworld. I let you go at dusk to help you wake up. I was arranged to go deeper into the dusk. Didn't you notice? The boundary at that time was not student-level. It cannot be generated without a level 1 vs. magician level, such as a boundary that drives the sense of direction."

"... no way, no way, no way, no way, no way"

The worst hypothesis is in the brain.

"Yes, you were deliberately banished at dusk, and still are. That said, the ability was unexpected here... but thanks to it, the raid on the First Frontier City failed. You and Ella slipped through that boundary again. After all, the awakeners have learned to encourage further awakening... but, well, this is how they achieve their destiny. I don't resent that failure. Rather, I am grateful to you. I've learned a lot."

"What... what are you talking about..."

I don't understand the meaning. Are you saying that all the way to here was on these guys' palms? Everything, all the way to here... such a stupid thing...

"Hmm? Claudia, did you call him?

"No... are you coming?

"Ah, you're getting close."

"Well, you can come anyway. Besides, it's the end of the day, so why don't we meet? I wanted to see Julia."

I see. Well... you just have to do it. "

When you two talk like that... you get tricks, tricks, tricks and footsteps. And it came from behind... it came from behind...

I caught myself hanging from above. [M] is wearing a black coat with long white hair. He looks tall, but maybe it's because of the boots he's wearing. But now I'm more... curious than that.

I... know that. No, it's strange to know. I see that face every day. [M] Yes, every day... no, that face I've seen since I was so young...

"Ahahaha... I'm here"

"Claire, I thought we had a standby order?

"Cyrus, that's right. It's okay, isn't it? Besides, I missed this guy. Isn't that right?"

"I can't help it. Claudia, do you mind?

"Hmm? That's not good. 'Cause they're...."

He hears the words and fights. What did I say? Now...

No, I didn't. Undoubtedly, my ears recognized the sound as understandable. [M] But I let go of my understanding of words that were too unexpected.

"... fufu, nice to meet you. My name is Claire. Yeah, definitely. I mean... it's so similar... fufufu. Hey, how you feeling now? Hey, hey, how does that feel? Hey... oniichan"

Listening to the words, Claudia's words are played again.

"Hmm? It's not okay. Because they're twins."

Twins. Me and the girl here are twins. It became suspicious. This is my face, which I've been looking at in the mirror for a long time... because it's two melons.

Complex situation. And I'm going to face this world in a real way.
