As soon as I transferred to the underground city, I activated the simulated sun.
　When the simulated sun began to glow, it automatically climbed up to the ceiling and illuminated the entire underground city.

"Wow~. Wow. It really is like noon.

Yeah. Now Lou can fight as hard as he can.

'Yes!　Oh, yeah . I'm getting to do something new, so look forward to it!

'What's new?　Yeah, I'll look forward to it. Well, let's get to the demons then.
　Has your level of destruction magic increased?
　If that's the case, maybe some restrictions have been released?
　While thinking about what new things Lou was able to do, I used the transference .

　I used transference to make sure that I could just barely see the demons.
　Just ......
Wow. That's a big one.
　Yes, the demon was bigger than I expected, and it was within easy sight of me.

That's right. It was coming toward us on the street too slowly. But still, they're big, but they're also very numerous.
　Anna said a few of them, but there are dozens of them .
　I wonder how strong they are: .......


　Strength: 500000/500000
　Magic power: 200000/200000
　Power: 30,000
　Speed: 5
　Luck: 20

　skill
　Fire Magic Lv. MAX
　Earth magic Lv. MAX
　Magic Power Sensing Lv.MAX
　Damage halved.

So you're the type to stay still and keep shooting magic. But even so, it's still very powerful magic.
　This level is so high, this is not good.
　This one, you better be careful when you're fighting.

Hey, hey. Can I fire now?

'Well, okay, but ....... Watch out for the magic counterattack.
　If anything goes wrong, I'll touch Lou so that he can transfer quickly.

Copy that. Keep an eye on him. Yeah!
　Yeah!　And with these words, the nearest behemoth disappeared from his head in a particle of light.
　Lou's hand hadn't moved at all.

''Could it be that ...... you can now destroy it without moving your hand?

That's right. But there's a limit, and unlike with my hand, I can only erase one at a time~
　Well, it's usually a foul thing to be able to erase all the demons in the area you can see .
　But ...... I suppose that's possible if the level is higher.
　Isn't destruction magic a cheat?

I see. One on one, you're nearly unbeatable.
　I'm really glad I was able to fight Lou before he rose to his level.
　If I had done it now, it would have been easy to kill me.
　I need some new magic too: .......

(Leo-sama, if you haven't noticed, your level of creation magic has already gone up.
　As I mumbled to myself, Anna gave me a crazy piece of information.

'Huh?　Really!　What can you do?
　I'm so happy for you!　Come on, man, it's me!
　I should get to check my status card once in a while.


We can create demons. The zombie golem I mentioned earlier is treated as a demon. (Leo-sama's image of a golem made it look like a golem.
　Oh. She can create demons? And the golem before, he's a demon? That's a surprise.
　But if word gets out that I can create demons, people will say I'm the demon king, so I have to make sure they don't find out.

(Yes, that's right.) (Also, Elena-sama's level has also increased, so please check it out)



'Really?　Copy that.

＜Demon Sword Elena, Lv.4.
　She can telepathize with her owner.
　It absorbs a large amount of its owner's magical power to enhance its sharpness and durability.
　The ability to do it increases as you level up.
　We have the ability to repair ourselves.
　Lv.4...Summons the demons under his command.
　Creator: Leons Forster

(Whoa!　(Elena, that's awesome!)
　Summoning a demon? ....... If you combine that with my demon creation, it would be pretty awesome, wouldn't it?
　I mean, summoning demons is another ability that a demon king would use!
　Hmm?　If you think about it, it's no surprise that the demon sword was originally the demon king's sword.

(What do you mean by that now? ....... Well, it's all right. I'm being used to my fullest potential today.
　The fact that I hadn't noticed is proof that I usually leave them alone, so Elena would have been angry if she was the usual Elena, but today she seemed to be in a good mood, thank goodness.

(Leo-sama!　Use me more!　Maybe I'll level out in just a few minutes!　(So use it!)
　As I was relieved that Elena had forgiven me, Serena insisted so much .

(Wow, okay.)
　Well, Serena's leveling up will be soon, too .
　Now, if we can beat a lot of them, will we be able to?

Hey, Leo. What are you doing up there?
　Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, sorry. I was talking to the sword.

'What?　Does that sword speak?

That's right. Only the owner gets to talk to you, though.

Yeah. So, do you mind if I take it down a notch?

Yeah. Okay.
　I'm sorry Serena, but it's safer this way.

Yay.
　Then, once again, Lou used his destruction magic .
　Then another behemoth disappeared ...... and at the same time, the other behemoths all turned their heads towards us at the same time and opened their mouths wide!

Oh, he knows!
　When I saw the danger, I shifted quickly.

'That was close: ....... We're under concentrated fire.
　While saying this, I observe the behemoths that keep releasing magic into the place we were at.
　The power of the magic was also tremendous, just as you can imagine from its massive body.
　My physical strength might be able to withstand it, but ...... Lou would have been killed by that concentrated fire.

I'm not going to be able to get it right. As soon as he looked at me, magic flew out of his mouth all at once!
　Why is Lou so happy that he almost died?
　That's what I'd call a battle freak.

Okay. All right, let's change the plan. Lou, you need to eliminate the monsters from here one by one, just like before. Meanwhile, I'll hide in that horde, take out the targets and cut them down.

'What?　Isn't that dangerous for Leo?　Wouldn't it be faster to use my destruction magic to use my hands and make it disappear all at once?

No, I don't think so. If we're going to do that, we're going to have to get close enough to attack over a wide area, right?

Yes.

So that way, we'll be on to them faster than we have to be, right?

Yes.

So, if you're surrounded by magic like you were, your vision will be blocked and you won't be able to use your destructive magic?

'Oh, sure!　But can't we just attack while using Leo's transition like we do now?

'No, I don't think I'll be able to hit him all the time because he'll probably notice me right away. Besides, you know I'm pretty good at avoiding magic, right?

Yeah, ...... yeah. . okay.
　I said, but Lou had this look of frustration on his face.

"That's good. Just think of it as an exercise in your new ability. And just make sure you don't erase me, okay?
　I'll soothe Lou and pat him on the head.
　Will you forgive me if I give you another chance to mess with him?



All right. Leo, you look out for yourself.

Oh. Well, then, the moment I become a target for those guys, we'll get started!
　So I used the transference.


　The place is right above the heads of the behemoths in the middle of the pack.
"Hey, here I am.
　As soon as I said that, I transferred to another behemoth's head.

　Then I saw that the behemoth's head that I was on was magically blown away.
　Not only that, it had also dealt enough damage to fatally wound my comrades in the line of fire.
　In other words, with just one provocation, the head of the behemoth in the middle flew off, and the behemoths around it were badly injured.

Shit. Are these guys dumb?
　But then the behemoth turned to face me again, and I immediately shifted.

''Hahaha . We're doing this all over again. You should have realized that by now.
　I couldn't help but laugh as I watched the behemoths in the area I was in become incapacitated.

''Alright, this one looks like it can be defeated efficiently .
　While saying that, I will shift again.
　However, this time, as soon as I transition, I will send a slash through the air.
　This will cause you to transfer before you see that some demons have fallen.
　Then fire another slash.

　By repeating this, the behemoths were decreasing in number.
　And while I'm distracted, one more and one more was being steadily outnumbered by Lou. One by one, Lou steadily reduced their numbers.

　Enough later.
Say!
　At last, I managed to defeat and wipe out the last one.

''Feng, it's over: ....... Anna, are there any more demons?

(Yes, no. But he may be summoned again in time.)
　Seriously!　Isn't it over yet?

'What?　Then we need to find the source!

(That's the specs that break as soon as that magic item ...... summoning starts, so it's already broken.)

'What?　Was that what you meant by "once you use it, it breaks"?　So how do I stop it then?
　If it's already broken, you can't just break it and stop it, can you?

That magic item summons the demon in three stages. The behemoth that Leo-sama just defeated is the second demon. So it just needs one more demon to be summoned and it's over.

'Oh, right: ....... Do you have any idea how long it will take for the summons to begin?

(Sorry . I don't know when the summoning began, so I can't answer that question . (However, it shouldn't be long after the summoning of the behemoths, so it's not likely that they will be summoned immediately.)
　Don't you know: .......

'Right. ....... Well then, let's have the rats watch and take them all down the moment we start.

Yes. I think that's a good idea.

Okay. All right, let's get back to Lou's place.
　We'll retrieve the behemoth corpses later, but for now, let's just go home.

Good job, Lou.

Good job, Leo. You look like you're having fun.

　Does he look like he's having a good time?
Yeah ...... well, did you have fun?
　He laughed at the behemoths.

"I wish I could fight like that. Hey, how do you move that fast like Leo?
　No, no. If Lou can make the transition, we're in trouble.
　That's what makes him invincible.

He's using his transference skills.

How did you get those transference skills?

I got it when I conquered the dungeon.
　It's a dungeon for beginners.

A dungeon?　Will I get one if I attack that too?
　Oh, crap. Did I tell you something?
　I thought Lou's eyes lit up the moment he heard the word "dungeon".

'I don't know.　I don't know . I mean, please don't go and challenge the dungeon without permission, okay?


　I have to make sure I'm aware of this.

Yeah. I want to go!
　I knew it was going to happen.

All right. I'll take you out again sometime when you're not busy.
　It's a way to get around the kid's begging by procrastinating, sometime called the Art of War.

'Yay!　I promise, okay?　You'll take me there properly, won't you?
　Ah, this is something I'll definitely have to go to at some point.
　Lou's eyes said, ''If you break your promise, I'll never agree to it! I feel like I'm saying: .......

'Wow, okay. Well then, I'm going to get the hell out of here, because Shelly and the others are waiting for me.

Okay. I'm hungry. What's for dinner tonight?

What's that?　You moved a lot today, so I'm guessing your food is better than usual.
　As I said this, I took hold of Lou's hand and made the transition to the castle where Shelly and the others were.
