"Tsurugi-san ......?

　I murmur to myself as I stand in front of the beautiful demon king with his pure white hair flowing.
　The demon king takes a brief glance at me and quietly dismisses me.

"Who are you?　My name is not Tsurugi. My name is Flaeswerg. I am the Demon King and SS demon who unites the demons of this world.

　Not Mr. Tsurugi?
　But they look too much alike.
　And the real Demon King Freeswerg is the Luna I met in the future.
　It was told to me by Luna herself when she was awakened by Aji Dahaka as the witch king.
　But the future Luna and the Fleswerg in front of me are nothing alike.
　You can vaguely perceive the slightest trace of face and face shape, but above all, the future Luna's skin color is brown. But the Fleswerg in front of me has skin as white as snow.
　The difference between the two is just too great.
　And Fleswerg looks more like Turugi than Luna.
　What does this mean?　Does Tsurugi have any relationship with Freeswerg?　But then, what would be the relationship between Luna and Freeswerg I met in the future ......?
　I was confused, but the one who pulled my arm and stepped forward was a girl I met in this era, Luna.

Kyou!　Now back off!

　With that said, Luna confronts the demon king as if to switch places with me.
　She immediately creates a mass of flames around herself and unleashes them at the demon king in front of her.
　But the demon king's guards were not so lenient as to accept it.
　You'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for when you go to the store.

......!

Demon King. Please leave this to us.

"Not so. Your power is too great. If you push it too far, we could get hurt.

　Saying this, Bahamut and Miraca, the witch from earlier, step forward.
　Miraca takes out a demon fang-like object from her pocket and throws it to the ground in front of her.
　What is it?　And just when I thought it was coming, it appeared.

Come forth. Dragonslayer--the Skeleton Warrior.

　When Miraca muttered this, the scattered fangs of the skeleton warriors were born.
　This!　Demonic creation ability!　And you created it from inorganic matter!
　It was a small, bone-shaped, wyvern-like creature that turned into a small wyvern and attacked the knights around Luna.

"d*mn!

　Luna tries to deal with the skeleton warriors created by Miraca, but Bahamut moves to interfere with her.

I won't let you. If we kill you with the title of Grand Hero here, half of our goal will be accomplished.

　With that said, as Bahamut creates water around it, it becomes a huge vortex that threatens to swallow Luna in front of you.
　However, Luna held out her right hand in response, and with that alone, she absorbed the entire swirl of water that Bahamut had released with her right hand.

!　Sheesh!

If you say I'm the target, you should have known about my skills as a brave man.　

　Then Luna said, "I'll give it back! And then, from his left hand, he produced a water vortex identical to the one Bahamut released earlier.
　I remember when Luna showed me her ability to take in dead monsters and give birth to new ones.
　But not only can Luna absorb living creatures, but also magic?
　I was surprised by the unexpected phenomenon, but so was Bahamut, who did not expect his own technique to be returned intact, and he was hit by a decent whirlpool of reflected water and blown wide open.
　And Freeswerg, who was watching, calmly muttered to himself: " I see.

...... I see. Your skills. I hadn't been able to figure it out for some time, but now I understand its general principle. Your creation skill. Absorption is at its core.

"............

　Luna broke out in a slight cold sweat as she listened to Fresno Vargue's line.

It's a skill that can absorb both organic and inorganic materials, and after instantly understanding the properties of the absorbed material, can reconstitute it anew - in other words, create it. That's your creation skill. If you absorb a dead monster, you can create a monster just like it. Of course, you can then change the demon's nature into a submissive and gentle demon, and if you absorb the magic as before, you can create your own magic as well. I see. You are the world's first great warrior. Your creation skills are undoubtedly a powerful force for the future evolution of this world.

　But when he continued to say "but", his eyes took on a more ruthless light than ever before.

Therefore, your presence is unacceptable. No, you're not the only one, the magic kingdom Isital, which is now the center of this world's evolution. I will destroy the two and stop the acceleration of evolution in this world. That is my role as Demon King. I won't let you humans ...... or this world evolve.

　The emotions reflected in Fleswerg's eyes were indeed hatred, anger.
　There was a murderous intent there, as if something precious had been taken from him.
　What do you mean?　The role of the demons of this world - no, the role of SS-ranked demons - is to evolve people and thereby lead this world itself to a higher level.
　But the words and deeds of Freeswerg were a denial of that.


　What in the world would be the purpose of such a thing .......

"To destroy me and Ishtar. But that's not going to happen. But I won't let you do that. Even though you're the Demon King, I'm not going to be defeated that easily. And since the Demon King and the Four Heavenly Kings are here, Ishtar will not fall so easily either.

What about it?　Didn't you realize that we are one person short?

!　No way.

　Luna instantly changed color at that statement of Grace Verg and looked back at the magical kingdom Ishtar behind her.

That's right. One of the last Four Heavenly Kings, Favnir the Kuro Dragon Incarnate, has already invaded Ishtar to destroy it.
