Chapter 72

“What? Veno? Never mind that! Hurry and escape, Cohgray!”

Celes looked confused when she saw Virage and I exchange glances.

Oh, she probably can’t hear Veno.

“And for the target…”

“Wha—”

Veno carved a cross into Virage.

Not only was it visible to me, but everyone else could too, judging by their shocked expression.

“Now… face thine punishment for ruining the man’s dream and for causing the families of countless dragonslayers to suffer. I have avoided killing people to the best of my ability… however, you shall receive no such mercy.”

Veno started casting again.

The geometrical patterns of many magic circles surrounded them and began to form a powerful spell.

“Five minutes. I shall grant ye all five minutes’ time to escape. After that, anyone left in a 20-meter radius of the marked man, Virage, shall be punished along with him!”

How thoughtful of you.
