After their battle ended, Escanor returned to his normal human state.
Clearly, Escanor now looked much more like a human.
Just moments earlier, that peculiar combat form had looked exactly like a strange organism condensed from magical power!
"Escanor, this ability of yours..."
Uchiha Kazama pointed at Escanor's chest and spoke slowly.
"I know."
"But if I'm aboveground at noon..."
"The magical power inside me becomes a little hard to control."
"It even affects my personality."
"Power always comes at a price."
"Ho ho ho..."
As Escanor spoke, he laughed self-deprecatingly.
Yet there was also a hint of acceptance and indifference in his laughter.
After all, Escanor was wielding this immense magical power with a human body!
He knew perfectly well that it placed a tremendous burden on his body.
But he had no way to deal with it.
It was an equivalent exchange, and Escanor saw nothing wrong with that.
"Mm."
"I'll give you something. Hopefully, it'll help you someday."
With that, Uchiha Kazama held out his hand.
Escanor was a little puzzled, but he still took Uchiha Kazama's hand.
A strange energy instantly settled into Escanor's hand.
After Uchiha Kazama let go, Escanor raised his hand and looked at his palm.
His expression barely changed.
"Kazama, are we heading to the Imperial Capital now?!"
"I remember you have that ability to teleport. Are we going straight there now?!"
Madara rushed over with a grin and threw an arm around Uchiha Kazama's shoulders.
Ever since Uchiha Kazama had brought Elaine back to life, Madara's friendliness toward him had shot through the roof!
"I can't use that ability for now."
"Do you want to drain all my magical power by making me teleport every one of you to the Imperial Capital?!"
Uchiha Kazama gave Madara an exasperated look.
Of course,
