Goodbye, human!

　Suddenly, the one who appeared was the Demon King's bellybutton Seteker.
　His creepy appearance with small cracks all over his body was the same as before.
　What was different from before was the bright red eyes shining brightly in the places that were hollow.
　That was the legendary 'Petrifying Magic Eye'!

....
....
　Then we both looked at each other for a while.
　Setekar is looking at me with a strange look on his face.

(Huh?)　(What time is this?)

....
....
　Mr. Setaker just nodded his head and didn't do anything.
　For now, I guess I'll try attacking him.

　--Water Spirit Clothing, Water Blade

　I used spirit magic to unleash a magical sword technique.
　A huge magic blade attacked Seteker.

''Whoa!''
　Setekar overreacted to bridge, and avoided the water blade.
　Mat0x?
　I mean, there's a lot of room.
　It was a surprise attack, and I attacked you.

"Oh, that's funny.......why aren't you petrified....... Then, directly!
　You're fast!
　As fast as Sa-san and Gerald, or even faster!
　The giant, jet-black claws of the Setecar are closing in on me, trying to reap the benefits of my life.
　Ka, 'Evasion' skill!　
　d*mn it, it's inevitable!


　--Fluffy.


　With a dumb sound, Setaker's claws popped.

''What?''
　Me and Setaker both scream in surprise at the same time.

'Mo, again!'
　Once again, the deadly claws are closing in.


　--Fluffy.


　The remaining few inches or so where the claws hit me, I'm flipped off as if blocked by an invisible cushion.
　So this is Noah-sama's 'divine armor'.
　I'm sure it's just a jutsu that was obtained by dedicating one's life span to it, but it seems to have unbeatable performance.
　The sound effect is a bit dull, though.

(By the way, as long as you're wearing the "divine armor," you won't be injured even if you enter the atmosphere from space!
　Doya, I can picture Noah-sama puffing out his chest.
　Seriously?

''Ba, that's ridiculous.......that the magic eye of petrification is ineffective and my attack can't even reach you.......''
　Mr. Setaker has his hands on the ground, disappointedly.
　Yeah, I'm surprised too.

(What to do........Setaker is an important enemy too, but.......)

　He glanced at the petrified wind tree hero.
　Maximilian-san.........
　I'll have Friae-san break the petrification curse later!
　Wait a minute.

　Then, I glare at the reincarnated body of the "Immortal King" Bifrons, who still has an overwhelming presence behind me.
　First of all, this guy is my first priority.
　I've been trying to approach the giant, billowy monster with my dagger at the ready

Wait, wait!　Are you not the Messenger of the Evil Noah?　Why are you in opposition to us?　A thousand years ago, didn't we fight against the heroes of the Holy God Tribe together!
　Setecar called out to him.
　Well, you're right.
　Last time I saw you, you didn't have Setecar's eyes, so this should be the first time you've seen me.

I'm sorry, but I can't be on the side of the Great Demon Lord this time.
　It's not that I'm on the side of the Holy Gods tribe, though.
　I don't necessarily carry on the policies of my predecessor.
　I'm on the side of Noah-sama and an enemy of the world.

''Oh no!　Why? !
　''Why?
　Well, Noah-sama said something like that a long time ago...
"I heard that your god betrayed Master Noah a thousand years ago.
　Right?　Mr. Noah.

(Yes!　The Typhon one had me fooled!　(I won't believe you anymore!)
　Yes, yes, a thousand years ago, Master Noah was lied to.
　You're so gullible, Master Noah.

(What? !
(Sigh) Mako-kun, I'm telling you.
Shut up, Eil. Eat it!
(Haha, late, late!)
　There's a lot of noise in my head.
　I don't feel nervous.

''.........I see. My God has reneged on his promise to the Evil God-sama.......
　Setekar's shoulders slumped sadly.

''I wish I could have fought shoulder to shoulder with the Evil God Noah-sama's Apostle Lord once more.
　Saying that in a nostalgic way, Setekar's voice was filled with sorrow.
　When you look at me like that, I feel a little bit sorry.
　Still, though, I won't be on that side.

　I didn't say anything, but turned to the Immortal King 'Biflonce'.
　Setekar continues to talk.

Do you know, Immortal King 'Biflons'-sama was called the most beautiful demon nobleman among all the demon races a thousand years ago.
Yeah.
　I didn't know that.
　Now, though, it's a tentacle monster.
　At any rate, it's not beautiful.
　I mean, how am I supposed to defeat such a huge monster?

'But now He is reduced to this pitiful form. I was told that He would be resurrected in the same form as before..............................Archbishop Isaac-dono. This is quite a different story....
　Well, even Setekar wasn't expecting the Demon King in this form.
　I'd be shocked if I thought I'd be able to see my former boss again, but I'd be shocked if he turned into a funny monster.
　However, we are supposed to be enemies of each other, but is it okay to have such a leisurely conversation with each other?

''Am I not going to stop you from going to defeat the Demon King now?
　The hostility was gone, and I couldn't help but ask, feeling uncomfortable with Setaker.

'This is not the Lord Bifrons I know here.... Besides, I can't even touch you. I have never felt as helpless as I do today. Then, at least, it is my duty to see to that end.
...auspicious.

　Well, I don't want you to give up and interrupt me.
　If you're willing to sit back and watch me, that's great.
　But I still don't have any idea how to defeat it.

In front of you is a huge demon with a core of Bifrons, the core of its reincarnation technique. Eir will help you with the dagger, so you can destroy the body of Demon King Bifronsu.
　Oh, really, Master Noah?
　To a giant demon with tentacles that are moving woozily in front of you?
　However, even if you slash at this huge body from the outside with a dagger, it doesn't seem to make much sense.
　To do damage, I guess I'll have to do it from the inside.

(I don't have any other options, and I'm running out of time...)

　Sighing, I moved forward.
　Hundreds of tentacles wrapped around my body, trying to catch me.
　The tentacles are played by Noah-sama's "divine armor" and cannot reach my body.
　However, the tentacles are wrapped around the "divine armor".
　Is it really okay........

''You're just going to go straight into it?　If I am trapped by the current Bifrons-sama, I think even I would be eaten by him.......
　Setekar let out a startled, dry laugh.
　''Master Noah, you're being praised.

(Hmmm, more praise, I don't have time for this!　(Hurry up, Mako!)
　Oops.
　Time is running out.
　But you've been playing with that one, too.

All right, let's go.
　Let's take down this demon king!
　I re-positioned my dagger towards the Demon King.

''Messenger of the Evil God Noah-sama. I'm sure you no longer have any ego left but please give my regards to Lord Bifrons.
　I nodded lightly at Setekar's voice, and proceeded in the direction of the hundreds of tentacles that were drawing me in.
　A huge demon opens its large mouth.
　The inside of its mouth is a dark and creepy color, like a portal to hell.
　Ugh, scary!
　99% of clear water!

(Don't get lost, shove it!)
　All at once, I leapt into the demon's mouth.


　-- and then it was consumed by the darkness.


(I can't see anything.)
　So this is the body of a demon....
　It's obvious, but this is the first time I've been eaten by a demon.
　I thought it would be more suffocating, but I don't feel anything in particular, probably due to the effects of the 'divine armor'.

　My feet were stubby and hard to walk on.
　And something sludgy clung to my body.
　And then something sluggishly clinging to my body, but Noah-sama's "divine armor" is playing it for me.

(For now, let's try it out.)


　--Sacrifices and Offerings


　I ask Eil-sama to do me a favor and try to cut around it with my dagger.
　There's no particular reaction.
　Ah, that?

Mako-kun, look for the body of Demon King Bifrongs. You have to stab it with a dagger.
　It's so dark, I can't see a thing.

That's okay, just keep going.
　I can't even get a sense of direction.
(It's okay, it pulls itself together.)
　So that's how it is.
　I'll trust Master Noah.　

　For a while, I proceeded through the darkness.
　I kept hearing some kind of grudge-like moaning in my ears.
　Is this this world?
　I'm not going to hell, am I?
　I can't wait to get home.

　Suddenly, something appeared in front of me.

(...what is this?)

　Around me, something like a three-dimensional image appeared and disappeared.

　These images could be images of war.
　It could be images of the persecution of demons.
　It could be images of young children being sold into slavery.
　And a large number of corpses were laid at their feet.
　It's not very pleasant to watch.

(Is it a mental attack by the Demon King........)
　I tried not to look at it too much and kept walking.

　Suddenly, a large number of bodies disappeared.
　The scene has changed.

　The image shows a small boy.
　The boy is isolated in his class.
　He is playing a game.
　He doesn't have any friends.
　The boy is.....

(Is that me?)

　It was me as a kid in the film.
　What the hell?
　Are you reliving my past memories?

　When I was a kid, all I did was play games.
　It's not much fun to watch.
　But what's the point?

Hey, Noah. This is a spell that puts a human being out of commission in seconds, right?
(Yes, but it's pointless for Mako.)
(Wow, really, psychotic magic doesn't work at all.)

　I hear a conversation that I can't hear.
　What, is this such a disturbing magic?

(Don't worry about it, Makoto.)
(Because I care!)

　Eventually, the images of my past disappeared.
　Once again, there is only darkness.
　This is so tiring.
　Also, the inside of the demon's body is too large.
　I'm sure this space is twisted.　

　Then a little while later.
　Suddenly, I realized.
　Something white appeared in the darkness.
　Something humanoid.
　I panicked and approached it.

　It has pure white skin and pure white hair.
　Its eyes are closed and it appears to be asleep.
　Or as if it were dead.

　He had the good looks of a woman, but you could tell from his nakedness that he was a man.
　The beautiful man was caught by many black hands and hung in the air.

(That's the Demon King Bifrons.)
Don't be shy.

　That's easy for you to say.
　It sounds like it's going to attack my sleep, which is awkward.

(If this thing comes back, it will destroy the tree country and do immense damage to the water country...)
　As a professional hero, this is an opponent that must be defeated.
　I'm sorry, Seteker.


　--The sacrificial offering.


　He prays to Lord Eil and holds up his dagger.
　As it is, he tries to thrust it into the chest of the man with his eyes closed.

!
　With a snap, his bright red eyes opened.
　You can't get away from them.
　Oh, my God, was he conscious?
　Did I come too close to him carelessly?
　I hurriedly pulled the dagger back and took my distance.

　But the demon king's open eyes were empty.
　There was no focus on where he was looking.
　Setekar had said that his ego was lost, but maybe he didn't remember.

　First, scurrying around.
　The Demon King Biflons opened his mouth.


''How long did it take for me to be destroyed by Abel the Accursed Brave?　........what.......is this body?

　His tone of voice is slurred.
　He doesn't seem to have any consciousness left.
　Now, what to do........

　But when Demon King Biffrons met my eyes, his expression changed dramatically.

"Why are you here!

　........Eh?
