“So that’s where you are!” Rage and resentment spilled from her lips. “Show yourself! Seek? Or is it Kakorkist?”

There was no answer. All she was met with was the forest, darkened by the shadows of night.

Irgitte thrust her hands out and put her guard up. Weaving the most powerful composition she was able to, she went on, “So you’ve lost not only your pride as a court sorcerer but your common sense as a human being too—or did you never have any in the first place? I’ll end it for you. If you have any regret, then at least die with some dignity.”

Time passed and there was no response. In that time, she completed her composition. She felt bliss when the blueprint of powerful destruction was complete. The bliss of power. Any sorcerer felt it. They were blessed with supreme power and it was their duty to control that power. They could not escape that fate.

“You two took the wrong path somewhere along the way. And don’t tell me it was someone’s order. Sorcerers have sworn to govern themselves.” She raised her voice, surrounded by a composition that was a second from exploding on its own. The garden was still quiet. “Do you think I can’t do it?! Sure, I feel some disgust murdering people with sorcery, unlike you two, but—”

...With sorcery? She realized then.

If they had been using sorcery, why had she not heard their spells? Why hadn’t she seen a single fragment of a composition?

If it wasn’t sorcery...

Was that even possible?

Irgitte hurriedly turned around. The pitiful corpse she’d shoved aside earlier was lying there. It had died in a creepy doll-like pose, smashed at regular intervals from the torso to all four limbs. Since its jaw was broken, its face was distorted so much it was hard to tell at a glance that it was even human.

It couldn’t... not be sorcery. No human could do this.

Her panic won out over her finely constructed composition, which faded away. She couldn’t maintain the strength slipping away from her grasp. And...

Something flew out at her from the thicket.

It wasn’t a corpse. It was a sharper, stronger, faster shadow.

It flew at her in an instant, almost curled up into a ball.

She was able to counterattack swiftly thanks to her regular combat training—she thrust her left fist out, the side that was closer to her attacker. It was sucked into the dark shadow and she felt her blow connect.

I win—

She quickly realized her mistake.

She thought she’d hit her enemy with her fist, but her enemy had actually just caught her hand. She was stuck in its grip, unable to pull her hand back. And from where it had her in its grasp, she felt a sudden intense, pounding impact.

Her vision rotated. Not sideways or vertically but irregularly. In other words, she’d been thrown.

Gravity ceased to exist and she slammed into the trunk of a tree. It was her good fortune that she didn’t break her back. She was struck, she was thrown, she fell, and she hit the ground.
