Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

A small, black sphere shot out from Linos' fingertips, heading at high speed toward the brown-skinned child. He looks startled for a moment, and then he ducks at a ridiculously fast speed. However, the sphere released from Linos follows precisely.

"Ow!"

A voice that sounds neither hateful nor angry can be heard. But this momentary exchange of words was to be the difference between fate and fate. Rinos realized that the black dragon in the sky above him was closing in on Alyria.

"......!!!"

Rinos tries to raise an inarticulate voice. At that moment, a golden, fluffy object appeared in his vision.

It was his wife, Riccolette.

She pushes Allyria away with both hands. Allyria floats in the air. At that moment, Rico's body was swallowed by the black dragon.

"Rico oh oh oh!

Rinos's exclamation echoes through the air. Linos clenches his right fist and points it at the black dragon above him. At that moment, his arm glows purple.

"Arla, Parsendria, Liechtenstein, Reseberg ......".

As if in response to Linos' chanting, the surroundings of the black dragon are enveloped in purple, and the color gradually becomes darker. However, the black dragon's figure gradually becomes transparent.

"Escape, Mr. ......!"

But as if to mock Linos, the black dragon vanished.

"......"

Linos is stunned. At that moment, Linos hears the sound of something bursting in his ears.

There, a black child was moving at high speed in the sky, its arms crossed in a defensive posture. A kind of black smoke was floating around the black child, and every time a black sphere released by Linos touched the smoke, it produced a crackling sound.

The child was flying backward, trying desperately to defend itself from the sphere, but it was as if it was sucking on it and would not let go.

"Ggghhh ...... gwah!"

The child screams with a distorted expression on his face. At that moment, his body is engulfed in flames and he slams to the ground.

"......"

Linos does not move. He grips the Holy Sword in one hand and looks at it with a stunned expression. The high piles of snow had melted away in an instant, exposing the ground. But the child who was supposed to be lying there was not there.

"I knew it, he's strong."

The next thing I knew, the child, who should have been knocked to the ground, was floating in the air. He was staring at Linos with his arms folded in an arrogant posture, while black smoke was emitting from his body.

"It's too much to ask for in this form. This is ...... ah!"

There was a small crack, and the child fell to the ground with a thud. Linos was still looking on with a stunned expression on his face, but upon closer inspection, he noticed a small movement of the child's mouth. Linos was chanting incessantly.

Linos walked slowly toward the child without changing his expression while chanting. With each step, the red haze surrounding the child began to glow.

"Ggghh ...... gaaaahh!"

Each time Linos approached, the child's expression became distorted. I couldn't understand what was happening. The child's body was being constricted with tremendous force.

The child was actually Lois's eldest brother, Tsune. Tsune could not believe what was happening to him.

The humanization should have already been lifted. Despite this, his body remained the same as that of the original child. Why could he not dehumanize himself? And I feel a heat in my body. This, too, was impossible.

Originally, the scales covering his body were very tough. In addition, in the case of Tsune, the scales themselves were capable of transmitting magic power, allowing them to control heat and cold at will. However, it is different now. The heat around me is slowly rising, and I am beginning to feel the heat. He had been trying desperately to control his body temperature, but he could not help feeling that the heat was being applied to him by a force far beyond his own strength.

At that moment, he felt a presence near him. It was Rinos, King of Agartha.

Rinos looked at Tsune with a completely blank expression on his face. Then, without changing his expression at all, he swung the sword in his hand.

...... Tsune's right hand flew in the air. Linos continued to swing his sword. Then his left hand also flew through the air.

...... Will he be cut to pieces?

It was unbelievable. He was absolutely confident in the hardness of his body. Even though he was humanized, he knew the movement of his own magic. He had already hardened his body by spreading his magic throughout his body. Despite this, Rinos was easily tearing through this body. Tsune's head was in turmoil as he wondered what was going on.

Rinos is still pointing his sword at Tsune with a blank expression on his face. Eventually, Rinos pointed the tip of his sword at Tsune's face.

I'm going to kill you.

Certainly, that's what it sounded like to Tsune. Linos did not sound deadly, but he certainly said so. It was really creepy.

"Mr. Linos, no!

Suddenly, a woman's voice rang out. I looked up to see a small woman with green hair staggering toward me. Behind her, another woman with blue hair was running in the wrong direction.

"Mr. Linos, no!

"Let go of me, Sadie."

A woman called Sidi grabs Linos by the arm. She is breathing hard and staring at Linos. Rinos does not look at her at all.

"Master Linos, no. You must not kill this black dragon.

I said, "Let me go."

Master Linos!

"Shut up!"

Suddenly, a voice that sounded like Linos's exclamation echoed through the room. Linos remembered. The tragic scene of the Bertham family. The master who raised him, Erza, his mentor Falco, the young lady whom he truly understood ...... Eryl, the Marquis of Bertharm, the Regent, and the lone dragon who had devoured him, were all recalled in his mind.

The same thing had happened right before his eyes. The hatred that welled up inside him for the dragon was about to take over his mind. He tightens his grip on his sword.

At that moment, Sidhee's body came around in front of Linos. She presses her face against Linos' chest, puts her hands behind her back, and hugs him.

"Mr. Linos, ....... It's okay. It's all right. Calm down. It's okay, Llinos, it's okay. I'm telling you. Master Linos, Master Linos, Master Linos. ......"

Sadie's voice became more and more tearful. She cries and wrings out more words.

"Rinos-sama, Rico-sama, and Soleil will be all right. My intuition tells me so. It's just that ...... they need ...... this black dragon to protect them both. We must not kill this black dragon. I understand your feelings, Mr. Linos. But please, please, please calm your anger. I beg you. Please. ......"

"Sidi ......"

Linos muttered to himself, and fell to his knees. His face remained as expressionless as ever.

Sidi felt a small pain in her heart as she hugged Linos. The lie she told to appease Rinos's anger: ....... Her intuition told her that she must not kill this black dragon, but it did not tell her about Rico and Soleil. But if she did not, Linos would surely take the life of the black dragon. Sidie made this decision and lied as quickly as she could.

As if to hide the pain in her heart, Sidie kept calling Rinos' name over and over again. .......
