"Tssk both of them are really stupid to fight the final boss without any help," Rakan said, who at this time both of his severed arms had been bandaged by Albiero. "I just don't want to fight that final boss, because all the cells in my body screaming and tell me that monster is very dangerous and I have to run as far away as possible from that monster!"
"You can feel her power, huh," Albiero said whose body was covered in wounds and his clothes were in tatters. "That Mage of the Beginning is so powerful and almost on the same level as Zelretch-Sensei, and it's impossible for us who are only S Levels to defeat a monsters at SS Levels like Ialda Baoth the life maker."
"Uugh, Al, how is the condition," Eishun said who had regained consciousness. "Are our other comrades are safe?"
"Me and Rakan were seriously injured, but both of us are still alive. Nagi and Zect were also injured but they were determined to go to fight the enemy who injured us all," Albiero answered while healing the wound on Eishun's body.
"W-we have to quickly help them both," Eishun said who was trying to get up. "It's impossible for the two of them to defeat such a strong foe!"
"Don't move Eishun, I haven't finished healing your wound," Albiero said who tried to hold Eishun's body from moving. "The two of them can take care of themselves Eishun, so don't worry. Their goal is to save Asuna-chan after all, not to defeat the enemy."
"Al, you said earlier that monster is SS Level!? That's a level that can only be reached if one has broken through the level S level that even The Witch of the Rift, who has lived for tens of thousands of years, cannot penetrate! How did that monster reach the SS Level that only Kaleidoscope Zelretch reached!" Rakan shouted.

"My teacher Zelretch can reach SS Level because he has one of the True Magic, namely Kaleidoscope, I think Ialda Baoth also masters one of True Magic so she can reach that level," Albiero said who was currently wrapping Eishun's head using a bandage. "Though I don't know what kind of True Magic that monster has."
"Tcch True Magic huh? A magic that has such great power and can be considered as the basis of all magic in this world," Rakan said while grinding his teeth. "It seems that mastering True Magic is the biggest requirement for one to reach SS Level and break through the S Level barrier which has been a wall that can't break by almost all the strongest people in this world."
"Zect knows that he and Nagi who are at Level S will not be able to beat Ialda who has strength above the two of them," Albiero said. "So the two of them decided to 'save Asuna' and not defeat the 'Mage of the Beginning' though I do feel worried that Nagi will do something reckless and try to defeat that monster."
"Blaaar!"
An enormous explosive sound rang out from the deepest part of Ostia. And when Eishun, Albiero and Rakan heard the sound of the explosion the three of them saw an unbelievable sight.
They saw Nagi defeating the Mage of the Beginning something that should have been impossible to do considering the difference in power between the Mage of the Beginning and Nagi was huge.
"Oi Oi, that boy beat the monster, you know," Rakan said whose mouth gaped when he saw what Nagi had just done. "This is so unreasonable, there's no way Nagi can defeat that monster."
"Tcch it looks like Zect sacrificed himself so Nagi could beat that monster," Albiero said. "Because that's the only way an S-level wizard can defeat an SS-level monster."

[Oi Al, can you hear me?] Asked Nagi who contacted Albiero via Pactio card.
"Yes, Nagi I can hear your voice very well," Albiero replied. "Did Zect sacrifice himself so you could defeat that monster?"
[Sensei, indeed sacrificed himself so I could beat Ialda, but now Sensei's body has become a new container for Ialda because she transferred her spirit into Sensei's body using Heaven Feel and now Ialda has disappeared from my presence after she possessing Sensei's body,] Nagi said in a tone that sounded sad. [More importantly neither of us had time to save Asuna-chan and it's crazy that she has already managed to complete the ritual.]
"What! She has successfully completed the ritual!" Albiero shouted. "Then this is all going to get really bad!"
"Oi Oi Al! Ahat is that ball of light!" Rakan said while pointing at the ball of light that had appeared in the center of Ostia. "And why does that ball of light seem to be getting bigger!?"
"The world's beginning and the Magic of the End was activated by the Imperial Princess of Twilight's Magic Cancel," Albiero said with a face full of worry. "When that ball of light covers the entire surface of Mundus Magicus then the world will return to ground zero."

"Damn I no longer have the energy to stop the ball!" Nagi said who was currently kneeling on the ground while clenching his fists. "Is this really the end of the world."
[Don't say such negative things, O my warrior, Nagi!] Shouted Arika who spoke to Nagi via telepathy. [I don't remember that the knight who always protected me when I was in danger, gave up that easily! You don't have to worry for now because it's my turn to help you!]
"Haaah you super tomboy princess who is full of enthusiasm," Nagi said with a sigh. "Just do whatever you want because I don't have the strength anymore to do anything reckless."
Arika smiled at the words of the man she liked, but that smile was only temporary. Because at this time she was on an enemy ship, namely the ship of the leader of the Megalomembria international tactical fleet. So she knew that he absolutely could not make decisions at random.
"Arika-Sama it has been confirmed that there is a phenomenon of dissipation of magical energy on a very wide scale," Gatou said. "The ratio is much wider than it has ever been before."
"You don't need to worry Gatou I make sure that me and everyone on this ship will help you! That is my promise! The promise spoken by Svanshvit Ricardo! Because when the world is in crisis there is no such thing as friend or foe!" Ricardo said, one of the fleet leaders from Megalomesembria. "After all, I'm not the only one who will help! Because right now the fleet from the Southern empire led by Theodora-sama will also help stop that ball of light!"

"Everyone unite all of our strength and stop that light ball!" Shouted Theodora who looked very excited. "Ohohohohoho!"
"The-Theodora-Sama please watch your behavior," Takamichi said who stood next to Theodora. "You are a princess, you know."
"Shut up Takamichi!" Theodora said in an angry tone. "I've been wanting to rage for so long! And now is the best chance to do just that!"
***
"The entire war fleet, encircle and suppress the light ball! The army of magicians begins to seal the large-scale reversal!" she shouted. "The fate of the entire wizarding world lies in this battle! Unite all forces! Necause otherwise the world would perish!"
In accordance with Arika's order the entire combined army started a large scale sealing so the light ball became smaller and smaller.
"Arika-sama is it alright if you do this?" Asked Gatou. "Because if a sealing on this scale is done then Ostia will."
"Of course this sealing will be a big problem that will destroy my country, Gatou," Replied Arika who was currently biting her lip until it bled. "But do you think I have any other choice!? I was forced to sacrifice my own country for the safety of the whole world, do you think something like this is fair! Not at all! But if I don't sacrifice my country then the whole world will perish."
***
"Well the world was indeed saved," Rakan said whose voice is heard in the final scene of the second part of Ala Rubra Saga. "But not because of the power of Ala Rubra, but because of the power of everyone. Although to save the world there is a high price to pay which is the destruction of Ostia."
