Epilogue
The tall shadow who helped Liliana escape concluded its confrontation with Suimei and the others, and was now spying on them milling about in confusion with a taunting grin. It was now standing atop the second highest building in all the Empire, the Filas Philia Cathedral bell tower. Careful to elude Suimei Yakagi’s unusual senses, it was observing the scene from on high. The military police had surrounded the area. The hero rushed over to Suimei. While asking about the situation, his attendant was about to cast healing magic on him, but Suimei seemed to have firmly rejected it. The tall shadow began to gather its thoughts on what action to take from here.
As things stood, this was the second blunder they made. Concerning the military police, the hero’s power posed a considerable threat, but it was still fine to leave them be. With the current situation, they would all be quite stalled, after all.
But Suimei Yakagi... That man could not be underestimated. Who would have thought that while the shadow was disturbing the movements of the hero’s group, that he would once more catch on to Liliana’s movements and make contact with her?
“Hmph...”
The tall shadow did not know what had happened within Liliana’s dark domain, but as Suimei had met her already on several occasions, it was likely he was in the middle of trying to convince her to abandon her magic. Thinking about it like that, this was a dangerous situation.
However, even this danger was not something for the shadow to fret over. After being struck with so much dark magic, he would die... No, there was a chance that he would recover, but even then, he would be incapacitated for quite some time. There would likely be an effect after using his magic too.
This time, they had not seen the noble being attacked, but Liliana’s face was seen by both Suimei Yakagi and the hero. In that case...
“That little girl’s use has just about...”
With that cold murmur, the tall shadow vanished into the darkness.
