The battle began.
　The enemies were the fifteen demons and the Wind Demon General.
　The first one to move was Elfie.

Devil's Eye, Heavy Pressure Crush.

　The wind demon general and the demon race, all of them slamming gravity from above their heads.
　As if they had foreseen this, the demons quickly avoided it.
　The Wind Demon General sent the wind he was wearing flying over his head and prevented gravity from hitting him.

''Elfiszaak uses his magic eye!　Get out of my sight!　And the brave men use magic to remove the magic!　Don't overestimate the warding!

　It seems that the battle in the sky was also being watched closely.
　The demons are flying around the room and are on alert for Elfi's demonic eye.

''Oooh!''

　With a roar, the wind demon general shot a breath.
　I jump back from the spot and evade the breaths.
　As I jumped back, the demon race attacked me.

''--Shhhhh!''　

　While exhaling sharply, the bird-shaped demon tribe swings its claws down from above my head.
　I backstepped to evade it.
　There, yet another demon tribe was waiting for me.
　It was a demon tribe with six arms, and all of them held great swords in their arms.

''Nunn!
''Impact Mirror.

　The attack that was launched from the six arms was caught by the jade tachi sword.
　At the same time, he doubled its power and returned it.

''Gabbu.''
!

　He let out a small breath and his six arms were blown off.
　Beyond that, there is the bird-shaped demon race from earlier.
　The two sides collided and fell while in a cone rubbing state.
　I tried to aim there, but a ball of fire flew in to protect the two men.
　They cut both of them off with their swords.

''Don't let your guard down with the human body. He is the man who, along with Elfiszak, caused the four labyrinths to fall.'

　I noticed that there were eight demons around me.
　The remaining seven and the Wind Demon General are fighting with Elfi.
　It looks like they intend to split us up and destroy each of us.

　I looked at Elfi and he nodded that there was no problem.
　The other side will be fine.

''We'll do our best to crush them and join Silfeld-sama as soon as possible.

　Jiriously, the demons were closing in on us in time.
　In the current battle, I realized once again that these guys are strong.
　These guys are strong.
　They are on a different level than the demons we fought in Gracia's place.
　Each and every one of them are warriors of the past.
　The leader of the demon tribe that is issuing instructions seems to have a quasi-4th heavenly king class.

　I see.
　They're going to hold Elfie at bay with the wind demon general and defeat me as the leader of the demon tribe.

"Can't afford to make any sacrifices?

　We can't beat these guys in one piece while they're alive.
　Do it, and there are five of them.
　Even though I understand that this is what 'that guy' is aiming for, I have no choice but to ride.

【Heroes Revived (The Wraith)

　Let's get serious.

----!

　A second later, I was slashing at the demons.
　A flash of horizontal cleave.
　The torso of the three demons shifted to the side.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.
　As I thought, they were strong.

''Sirard, Vance!　Stop the movement!　The rest of you, reassemble your formations!
"'Freezing Conjunction'.

　An ice ward covers me.
　In the meantime, I could see that the demon clans were preparing their positions and trying to use big magic.

"'Gehenna'.

　With his right hand, he created an azure flame to nullify the icy wards.
　Then he used his left hand to usurp the magic technique (spell dibauer) and took away the magic power of the other demons.

Simultaneous attacks?
I'll give it back. "You'll get it back! Freezing Conjunction.

　Using the magic power he had taken, he froze the demon clans that had formed the formation.
　And immediately, he sent a slash at the demon tribe called Szilard and Vance.
　The heads of the two men fly off.
　Just to be sure, I burn the fallen heads and bodies with the flames.

　Three people left.

"Burning Place!"

　The leader of the demon tribe used his magic to break the freeze field.
　At the same time, the six-armed demon clan slashed at him.

"Uh-oh-oh!
"The Sixth Demon Sword Crumble Blade!

　He fought back with his jade sword and destroyed all six great swords on impact.

''Oh, oh, oh!''

　The demon tribe, which was now handless, still raised its six arms.
　Splendid.
　With that thought in mind, he cuts both sides of his body with the returning blade.

''Shaaaaah!''

　The first bird-shaped demon tribe that attacked from behind attacked from behind.
　I ducked, grabbed the arm that I swung up and hit the magic that the leader was shooting at me.

''Second Demon Sword, Divergence.''

　Then, as it was, it released a huge slash.
　The slash cut off both bird-shaped demons and headed towards the leader figure at the back.

''Ugh.''

　The leader did not die.
　He used his magic and sword skills at the same time to prevent the deviation.
　However, the leader spat out blood from his mouth and fell to his knees.

''I've misjudged ......!　Send reinforcements to .......

　With a pained expression, the leader turned towards the Wind Demon General.
　Then, his eyes widened.

''--I'm sorry, but there are no more reinforcements to send towards you.
You can go to .......

　The seven demons who had been fighting Elfie were now down to two.
　Those two were also wounded all over and had wounds all over their bodies.

''Oh, oh, oh. ......!

　And the Wind Demon General had also received a large wound.
　As if he had been directly hit by the Devil's Eye, the horn on his head was cruelly snapped off, and his right arm was also gone.

Silfeld-sama!　With the next blow, let's put the game on the line: ......!

　The two remaining demons erupted with magical power from their entire bodies.
　Then, they combined their magic power with each other to create a single magic art.
　At the same time, the wind demon general concentrated his magic power in his oral cavity.

''--"Lost Magic, Suffering Thunder Spear (Kumezurai Soh)."

　Perhaps it was the price of the angel, but the bodies of the two demon clans also felt a tremendous thunderstorm.
　With a look of anguish on their faces, the two of them released their magic.
　It is a huge spear of lightning that goes towards Elfi.

''Gaaaaaaaaa--!''

　And with that, the wind demon general released a breath.
　That breath took the form of a huge tornado and approached Elfi at the same time as the spear.

''Brilliant.''

　Shortly, Elfie muttered.
　Then, he opened the twin eyes of the red lotus that had been concentrating his magic power.

''--"Demon Eyes, Ashburst."

　The Red Lotus burned everything to the ground.
　The spear of lightning, the tornado, and the two demon clans were all obliterated without a trace by the ashen blast.
　The Wind Demon General also received a direct hit from the Devil's Eye, scorching his entire body and falling to the ground with a zundown.
　He convulsed for a while, and then stopped moving again.

　The only one left was the leader demon race.

''Ba...... stupid. This way ...... easily.
'It wasn't easy. You should be proud of the fact that you've stranded us here.
......

　The leader-rank stands up and takes the sword.
　With a death-defying look on his face, the leader-rate lunged at me.
　It was the moment I held up my jade sword in response.

''----ssh.''

　The scaffolding has disappeared (・・・・・・・).
　With the sensation of our internal organs floating, we fall again.
　The demon tribe and the corpses of the wind demon generals, too.

'Nah, ze ......'

　A look of astonishment appeared on his face and his leader's status dropped.
　I guess I wasn't expecting that.
　Then it was ---- that did this.

'El--'

　Right after I was about to call out to him.
　The wind demon general's belly, which had fallen underneath me, expanded greatly.

''!''

　Numerous tentacles reached out from inside, piercing his abdomen with a buzz.
　What is this thing ......?
　The tentacles are wrapped around my body.
　You're just going to let me go down the road, aren't you?
　It's time to tear off the tentacles and let the magic flow through your body.

　I'm sure you'll be able to get a chill in your body.
　At the same time, Elfi shouted.

"Upstairs, Iori--!

　It was the same time as I turned my gaze to the dome-shaped ceiling.


''-- "The Sword of the Sky-Piercing Bright Star (Lincolnate Meltstrom)."


　A light fell down, smashing through the dome above my head.
　The light is so ominous that it is almost godlike.
　It's a mass of magical power that far surpasses even the Falling Starlessness that Ryusas was using.
　It fell from right above me.

"Il Ataraxia!

　A shield is created above my head and I defend it.
　But in the blink of an eye, the shield disintegrates.
　The magic power is poured out and the shield is rebuilt as it crumbles.
　At the same time, he activates a series of "Magical Seal" attacks, creating a triple shield.
　And with "Spell Divouer," he steals the magic power of light.

　--But...

No? ......!

　The shield creaked and disintegrated.
　What a power.
　Even if you were using psychic magic, eating this would definitely result in instant death.
　That's how powerful it was.

　--But I bought time.

''--"Magic Arm, Attraction Palm"

　Immediately after, Bwari's body is pulled upward at an angle.
　It was one of Elfi's magic arms.
　As soon as it collapsed, Elfi stuck his arm into the wall, preventing it from falling.
　The tentacles are forcefully torn off and moved towards Elfi.
　At the same time, the shield collapsed, obliterating the wind demon general's corpse as the light fell downward.

'Are you okay, Iori?'
It's all right.

　I grab Elfie's hand and I hang on to the wall too.

'We're not going to get anywhere by staying here. Let's move on to the back room from there.

　He pointed to the entrance at the far end of the room.

'...... All right. But it's definitely a trap.
''With this precarious position, if you get another shot at that light, you'll have no choice but to fall for sure. Even if you know it, you have no choice but to keep going.
...... Right.

　Immediately after saying that, a dazzling light was emitted from both of Elfi's eyes.
　Demon eyes and blocking light.
　This light has the effect of hiding our existence both physically and magically.
　It's one of Elfi's newly regained magic eyes.
　Blending in with the light, we proceeded to the back room.

◆

　What was ahead was an even larger space than the one before.
　Looking at the castle from the outside, there shouldn't have been this much space on the top floor.
　Maybe it was magic, distorting the space.

　Inside the room, the moment I stepped into the room.
　The passage you entered was sealed off by a ward.
　No ...... this entire room is covered by a powerful ward.
　It seems to have blocked the retreat.

　Furthermore, my entire body became heavy as my feet seemed to shine.
　It seems that a ward has been put in place to reduce our power.

''......m.''

　Elfie's feet are shining in a way that makes them shine.
　It seems to be a ward for the anti-magic race.

"Welcome to the deepest part of the void maze.

　With a thump, thump, thump of footsteps, a woman emerges.

　It was a blonde half-elf.
　Her habitual blonde hair is tied up in a ponytail with a string.
　What she wore was not the dress she wore before, but pure white armor.
　On her arm, she held a large purple sword.

I was planning to kill him with a single blow, but it's something that doesn't work out so well. I was pretty serious about it, but I hate it.

　--Lucifina Emilior.

　The last object of revenge stood before me.
　From inside my chest, hatred rises up.
　At the same time, nausea.

''But, Iori-san,''
............

You will be the first to die in this place today, I promise.

　Lucifina said, with a ripping smile on her face.
