Chapter 345 - Only Mia

As Alysa and her were ready to sortie, Licht said, "Alysa, take care." Alysa said, "Of course." Licht said, "I'm serious." Alysa said, "Yeah, same here. I'm very, very serious." Licht said, "Well, take it however you want, but if anything were to happen to you, I could never show my face to Liebe—not as a subordinate or a friend. So please watch yourself."

As they all went through without Alysa giving a reply, the portal closed. Licht said, "I suppose I owe you my gratitude, Lumos." Lumos said, "Think nothing of it." Licht said, "You have my gratitude for entertaining my request even though your sister will be in the scouting team." Lumos said, "As long as you keep your promise to bring her back safe and sound." Licht said, "Of course. This is the last time I'm asking for such a favor. And in exchange for such a favor, please feel free to expand the territory of your house. If required, use my name—the heir to the House Licht Vaude." Lumos said, "I will see if I ever need it as the head of my house." Licht said, "Now tend to Liebe while I work on F91. It should be here by now."

As Licht and the others went out to assemble the F91, Lumos said, "Of course, sir." Licht went out.

After a few hours, as the scouting team located Zenatal, Alysa said, "Good job. Now give me the lens." As they looked closer, it had stopped. It was emerging in a lake. Argo said, "What is it doing?" Alysa said, "Looks like it's trying to produce more sub-units." Alysa said, "No, it's creating sub-units to heal its main body." Aoi said, "We have to destroy it now. Iris and Hedin have the power of the Ars Goetia. We can take it on." Argo said, "I must agree." Alysa said, "There is no point now. Now it depends."

As they saw it submerge into the lake, the water level began to sink 1mm per second. Alysa said, "Looks like we have more than 240 hours before it reaches the capital." Argo said, "It doesn't matter when. The problem is, based on what it is doing, it will be a mess." Alysa said, "Mia, get ready. We might have to engage."

Meanwhile, in the hotel, as Liebe got up, he tried to walk but collapsed. Just as he almost fell, Mina saw him and said, "Umm, hello. You must be Mr. Liebe. And well, I'm sorry to intrude, but I heard the noise of you collapsing. And well, I'm sorry to intrude again, but you should be resting." As Liebe got up and tried to walk, he almost fell again.

Zen grabbed him. Zen said, "Where are you going? And Mina, keep looking into it." Liebe said, "I have to help no matter what. I can't just stand here while they are fighting." Zen said, "We have at least 90 hours till it reaches the capital." Liebe said, "What about the towns and villages on the way there?" Zen said, "So far we can evacuate all of them. No towns, only about a few villages." Liebe said, "Even so, my friends are out there." Zen said, "In your current state, you will just die. In the previous battle, you didn't even have any magic left. What good are you now?" Liebe said, "I know. I have to help, but with my body in such a state..." Zen said, "In that case, take this. This might help."

Outside, Licht and the others were almost done. Licht said, "M, F91 is powered now." Liebe said, "M, go now. I will finish the rest myself."

As Mia was teleported before Licht, yet it was only Mia. Seeing this, Licht's eyes went wide as he was terrified, realizing what just occurred.
