沙卡美在洞穴裏修煉了很長時間，從來也不覺得餓或者渴。若然不趕快練成明鏡的境界，曼賈就會殺死她愛的所有人。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMX4SuU9CQ

「哈！哈！」她站在池裏不停向瀑布揮刀，水比冰更冷，卻澆不熄她的鬥志。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeh4zVKFLei
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgbZo1Ezxh
既然母親每天揮一千下刀，為了超越母親，她要每天揮二千，甚至三千下刀。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15b80ZrVYj
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaFt7nDbLA
她堅信追尋之物就在努力盡頭。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWMzxsiQVf
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkGfnX0Ph3
受多少苦也不要緊，她不受苦的話其他人就會受苦。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOIHUG9Hf9
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71EL1E3vF5
「哈！哈！」在無盡的揮刀過程裏，她的思緒漸漸飄向遠方。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZHjTBHOGJ
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6O8TWTuy3r
保護一切或捨棄一切才能達至明鏡的境界？人總會失去些事物吧？她失去了賴鐸，失去了利華特，她保護不了他們。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYW3Bp4Y9PY
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsAcj6iye0
母親有達到明鏡的境界嗎？母親捨棄了她和在帝國的一切，算滿足條件嗎？散播悲傷的明鏡是明鏡嗎？大概不是。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFdMgeHIGk
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVSjrytIip
那張紙僅是謎面，她要領悟明鏡的真諦。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8EIh3hPUx
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20VAbqadvr
另一邊廂，岡原、小娜和貝吏刻唐等人來到沙卡美所在的房間前。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ7aqIGSkq
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ7NBQUUDU
「如果陛下清醒的話就幫她戴面具，如果昏迷的話就帶她出去再治療她，清楚嗎？」岡原問手拿著面具的小娜。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiGAJe7nst
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDzot9Bpcb
「嗯。」小娜點頭。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVmMRyIDEW
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZM0W53HQg0
「好。各位，準備好了嗎？」岡原對牆壁伸出手掌。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHysEYCjNA
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lJYoYXBK4
「準備好了。」「準備好了。」「準備好了。」貝吏刻唐和魔法部隊成員一同瞄準牆壁。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JPfq0CYyY
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMJbIMoqSR
「鮮物都・加瓦治！」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWtMly1yZN
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsypu7oHfre
咒語擊中牆壁，牆堅隨即化為一團灰塵。眾人精準控制過咒語有效範圍，使咒語只消除房間的牆壁264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNlXjivInC
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxh8iuDV3cc
鐵門因為牆壁消失而倒下，他們看到沙卡美正坐在椅子上。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYHnRFxPKi
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0k9eQof1O
「沙卡美！」小娜上前檢查她的狀況，「她昏倒了！」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99Cqva6qWg
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2gVi8Kj0f
小娜抱起沙卡美，運起魔力離開基地，其他人亦隨她回到地面。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziEI0LqfDu
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7xjzRgxu4
「沙卡美！醒醒！」小娜檢查她的呼吸，隨後聽見她在「呼呼」地小聲叫。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz0G5D5ijY
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R8Jk6bgNZ
「小娜！陛下狀況怎麼了？」貝吏刻唐走到旁邊問小娜。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfASVSP2l4G
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTtxFpGWrt
「她在睡覺。」發現白擔心一場的小娜向貝吏刻唐露出無奈的表情。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9SeoiFfff
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUiwiC5ViN
「睡、睡覺？」貝吏刻唐不太相信。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9vITA5L1b
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kayH4DQd2
「桌上有個碎掉的水晶球。我猜可能是他們想用它來操控沙卡美，但沙卡美毀了水晶球。」小娜脫下防毒面具，「她一定累透了，給點時間她休息吧。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjVxxEQk3E
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoJdmzffbR
貝吏刻唐脫下面具，「我們要想辦法回皇宮。這可是另一個大陸的最西邊，又沒有紅圈......」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTFRCGxCGj
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJI9kxGHC7
「回去也要好幾個星期，我們身上又沒有錢......」小娜嘆了一口氣，「不過哥對打獵相當熟悉，所以我不怕。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV76QPqVGQc
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdobBh7MsIA
在學習魔法的數十年裏，貝吏刻唐經常背著小娜在森林裏打獵，小娜就在籃子內欣賞他的英姿。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XNRbgVEjk
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LXv1nacP2
「各位！」貝吏刻唐呼叫在草原上看星的魔法部隊成員和岡原，「不如我們先去找些食物吧！」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFMXXRCrtD
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhqckh3qxS
「那邊有森林。」小娜用天文學知識得出方位，指著東邊的森林說：「而且還在東邊，我們在森林裏打獵，休息一晚，到早上就馬不停蹄——人不停足地趕路。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucwI6gB706
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37Y2Xnm35z
「贊成！」「贊成！」魔法部隊成員紛紛舉手支持。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIFfodxazr
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiZ1AqvSmd
小娜背起沙卡美，跟其他人慢步前往森林。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIYxrm6Fia
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI9DCh1LKh
「沙卡美，相信我們，沒有妳我們也不會輕言放棄。」
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcbBLmuDB5
說來神奇，沙卡美遺傳了壞人的優點和好人的缺點。她如賴鐸強悍卻不如他暴戾，如巫女擇善固執卻不如她處變不驚。擇善固執不一定指缺點，但從她的情況看，一旦錯了方向便很危險。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4Ihf6h82x
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6Moq8J2L1
明鏡到底會帶她去哪裏？掌握了明鏡她就能殺死曼賈嗎？264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOR5iIdwRe
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMztZYBUJY0
她離失控僅有一步之遙，每當看到刀上的黑色火焰就不斷自責。她深信力量該用來保護而非傷害人，卻經已好幾次傷害了人。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9WIgI850o
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZOjn76BPm
從無到有，從紅到藍，從藍到金的火焰象徵著何物？金色火焰代表她的戰意燃燒到最高點嗎？264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFAXaOXWOf
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwT2EiwBX7
她對那把武士刀一無所知，連它的名字也不知道。無知的她就算進入明鏡境界也是會輸。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZvPdIbNhL
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIynRyeNW6
她煞停揮刀的雙手，走到池邊放下刀，用之前突然冒出來，放在石上的毛巾抹頭。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5BZv8clIZ
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbY9t93vbH
頭和臉都抹乾淨，她拿起刀盯著滿佈水珠的刀身。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvmoPHWh54w
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7PbARBwpX
「刀......有兩把。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwJ4UcqFZb
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmMjt4hWpA
她忽然想起那把一直被遺忘，自開始揮刀後就被放在石頭邊的脇差。她撿起它，手執兩把刀的她很迷惘。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihDcsooRsB
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWbAy3j2pc
「我一定對你有期望才會叫你出來......」她舉高握脇差的左手抬頭，「告訴我，你想我做甚麼？」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGpTvwllxY
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhacy6P3z9
脇差和武士刀冒出紅色火焰，一塊巨石出現在她面前。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDh4t2FGui
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hqfhH7fsP
她放下手，對兩把刀說：「我明白了。我試試看。」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpsrGA1mEW
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzO3ly3AQb
她跑向巨石，跳起劈向巨石，「哈啊啊啊啊！」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9sfrpH3P0
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsRr3dasQO
巨石被劈成三部份，她望向武士刀，留意到刀身在發紅光。以往刀身不會發光，最多只會被火焰纏繞。她望向脇差，也是同樣狀況。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oxq8gLzUv
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWW5og34cch
沒必要走上和母親一樣的路，她要開拓出屬於她的路。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTtgNK41de
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iAEd6NCmC
紅光蔓延到她手掌、手腕、手臂、肩膀、身軀、雙腿和頭，她整個人都在發光。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIfQ23hAUl
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CILiVAmHn
她正對其中一條石柱，身體微微傾前。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOclsHf46SM
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGJLCL4ytB
「啊！」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3eSQAuogG
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXU6MbWpCv
她向前想兩刀劈斷石柱，卻承受不到速度之快而在石柱前摔倒。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIWCgodUVd
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25fHNa82aM
情況就像背著重物絆倒，想向後拉自己起來卻被重物壓下去。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJkTsTdW6n
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RqYw34jkw
「痛痛痛......」雙刀和身體的紅光消失，火焰也熄滅，她放下雙刀靠著石柱坐下。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykpgAslXEA
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnCGsjgZZb
「希靈格・利卡巴。」她治好擦損的雙手，嘆了口氣。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjJQ9gfSCJ
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMNP0QbIB0
「我果然還是不夠成熟。明明大家都在等我，我卻讓他們失望......我該怎麼辦......」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CacWdEO8b
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb45MqL9CON
她抱膝，頭貼在手上當枕頭休息。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOwdZmwzwh
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8izKhPgTo
「明鏡......拾棄一切......保護一切......我......」她找不到謎題的解答。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou7703Qs8e
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6ZI71T8Gz
在全身都閃著紅光時，她以為終於領悟到要訣，怎料只領悟到殘酷的現實。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyBflnfy1I
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbLz1lRV4eX
要找到欠缺的東西，便先要明白自己欠缺了甚麼。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjvwtJzR7j
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3ljvK2Dmy
「我到底需要甚麼？沒有人會教我，只有我才想到。」她望終有一天會開竅，「我是不是早就知道但不願面對？到底是怎樣？」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF15mByKOo
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MFYp8e2m9
很痛苦。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xe4Don0Bo
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUEaf9EY0V
「哪條才是正確的路？沒有——」264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYRW3f6NcQ
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33Xli6LurA
她腦海一片空白，那些抱怨的句子彷彿沒存在過。她拿起雙刀回到瀑布，又再揮刀。264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflY6MdnRhU
264Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtE6I5VfPO3
謎底根本不重要，解開謎底並不是終點，是其中一個里程碑。既然如此，她做她認為正確的事就足夠。
