"You ...... when did you ......

　Behind Gulga was a girl with a strange language.
　How long had she been behind him, and how did she get behind him in the first place?

　She was definitely an enemy, but she had an unfathomable eeriness about her.

"Ever since you were flirting with Rose. If you show me something that hot, I'm going to be jealous.

You didn't try to come in, did you?

He knows what he's doing. Don't underestimate me.

　Gulga managed to buy time and recover her strength through conversation while her consciousness was fading.
　Even if the loss of her left arm was unavoidable, she wanted to be able to use her remaining right arm.
　In fact, the wound on his right arm is starting to heal.

I see. So you're the Demon Lord Aria. I'm jealous that you have a pretty good servant.

"......?　I didn't say anything about that.

You're still harboring a problem with attack magic. You need to relax a little.

All right. Don't say anything else.

　As if to end the conversation, Aria prepared to fight.
　Gulga's psychological warfare seemed to have had a certain effect.

　By giving some hint of his abilities, he made Aria upset and made it difficult for her to fight.
　It was a strategy that he would never normally use, but in this disadvantageous situation, he could not afford to choose any means.

"By the way. If you want to recover, I think you should just use recovery magic.　You seem to think that if you do that, you'll start a fight, but I wouldn't be so tactful.

　Aria read Gulga's mind as if she was trying to fight back.
　It was obvious that she was trying to buy time with her meaningless conversation, and she had let it slide, but now she was running out of patience.

　I didn't like to prolong the fight.

"I see. Light of Healing.

　Gulga obeyed and healed the wound on his right arm perfectly.
　I'm not a child to be provoked here and fail to heal.
　All of these actions were directed towards victory.


Let's get started.

"Take that!　Demon's Downfall!

"Space Control.

　Aria dodged Gulga's sharp attack with ease.
　It wasn't that she hadn't seen it coming, it was just that Gulga's attack was too slow.
　It was too slow-moving to hit.

　This space was already in Aria's hands.

"There's something wrong with the space. ...... What did you do ......?

"You don't need to ask. You don't have to ask. You just have control of this space. Just like this...

　Gulga's middle finger on his right hand.
　That's the only part of his hand that's been accurately flicked off.

(What the hell is this? ...... I didn't see you like that.)

　It is true that Aria had a clear intention to attack there in her mind.
　Normally, Aria would be able to read that intention and dodge.
　But this time, she could not even react.

　But in this case, he couldn't even react, because Aria's attack was already over by the time he read her intention.
　The moment you read her will, Aria's attack is already over, so you don't have time to counter or even dodge.

"Oops, surprise.

　In spite of Aria's attack, Gulga's attack was dodged without missing a beat.

　The two spikes that flew at her eyeballs were evaded by a simple tilt of her head.
　It was only her second attack, but she didn't feel like she could hit Aria again.

　If it had hit her, it would have rooted her eyeballs and robbed her of her sight. Aria was the first person to evade this surprise attack.

"You completely evaded it with your eyes. You evaded it with your eyes.

"You're the one who's crazy, not me. You can't move as usual in this space.

"............ am I in slow motion?

You're talking too fast.

　We're at an overwhelming disadvantage.
　If you can escape this space and get to the outside where nothing surrounds you, you can make it a simple one-on-one match.
　But that would be an unfulfilled wish.

　The moment you show your back, you'll be killed.

Then I'll have to kill him here.

So be it.

Demon Slayer!

　Gulga's all-out blow.

　Aria dodges it and turns to the back in an instant.
　In this situation, even if she could read minds, it would be meaningless.

　The information coming in one after another.
　It was the next part to be attacked.

　The right leg, the left leg, the right arm, the spine... Gulga's body was being destroyed as per the information.




　Finally.
　A death sentence in the name of the heart marked the end of the battle.
