I will defeat the Witch King.
　His reliable voice reassured me.
　I turned around again and looked at the great wizard's face.
　And then I noticed.
　I noticed.

''Great Sage-sama ... aren't you pale?''
　Great Sage-sama is a vampire, so he's always pale, but even so, his blood color is too bad.......
　His expression is also heartlessly hard.

''Yeah, I've pushed myself quite hard to get here........ I'm sorry, Spirit Master-kun, but please take care of 'the usual'.
Yes, sir.
　I opened my collar and held out my neck.
　Immediately, the Great Sage-sama bit into it with a "capri" and I heard a choking sound.　

　..........Isn't it kind of sucking harder than usual?　
　I'm going to be anemic.

"Great Sage!　You smoke too much!
　Sakurai-kun shouts as if in a panic.

''Puh-ha!　Kuh, that's a special kind of blood after a long trip.
You don't think of me as a sports drink?
Oh, no, I'm back. I'm back.
　You are undead, aren't you?

"Great Sage, you must suck my blood as well.
'Oh, I'd appreciate that, but...'　
　At Sakurai-kun's words, Daishonin-sama slurred his words.
　What the hell, it's just me.
　Drink Sakurai-kun's blood, too, I thought, and then I remembered.
　Could it be that?
　Have I mentioned before that I don't like the blood of anyone who isn't a virgin or a virgin because it tastes bad?

''Great Sage, isn't this the time for that kind of talk?
　I complained bitterly.
'No, but. I tried it once and it tasted unbelievably bad, you know?　I haven't tasted anything like that since Jonny....
...so much?
　The expression on Great Sage-sama's face was too serious for me to say any more.
　Besides, this isn't the time to make small talk.

　The spatial transition has kept us at a distance, but the Demon King seems to have noticed us too.
　And he also knows that the Great Sage is here.

"Brave man of light, can you fight? Can you fight?
''....No, I honestly think it's tough. It was all I could do to repel the attacks of Zagan, the King of Beasts.
Well yeah. Okay, you take it from here to me. You run.
What?
　Huh?　You're not going to fight with us?　
　According to Sakurai-kun, everyone worked together to defeat the previous King of Beasts.
　If that's the case, shouldn't we do the same this time?
　But he's the Great Sage, you know.
　I might be able to defeat him by myself normally.



''Do you want to leave the Great(ish) Sage(ish) behind and escape from here?''

　Yes, sir.
　No.



The "RPG Player" skill is activated.
　The choices are fluffy and floating.
　Leaving behind the Great Sage the strange sentence.
　It's really tricky.

'I understand. Takatsuki-kun, we're going to be slowed down. Let's get out of here.
"Great Sage.
　I ignored Sakurai-kun's words and asked a question.

'What is it?'
Are you going to defeat the Demon King by yourself?
He's not an geezer as far as you guys are concerned.
　I don't feel the usual leeway in the Great Sage-sama when he says that.

　As a vampire, Grand Sage-sama should not normally be out of the house during the daytime.
　Moreover, he is traveling back and forth between the Land of Commerce (Cameron) and the Land of the Sun (Highland) in a single day.
　It must have been quite a burden.

'Takatsuki-kun...?'
　When I don't try to escape, Sakurai-kun stares at me anxiously.
''Just get out of here!　We can't lose the 'Hero of Light' here. The only one who can defeat the Great Demon King is the Brave Man of Light.''
　The Great Sage said, annoyed.

(I knew it was too much.)
　Maybe you are sacrificing yourself.
　I've been indebted to the Great Sage for a long time.
　In the Grand Labyrinth, in the Land of the Sun, and many other things.
　I'll return the favor.

"Grand Sage, I have a plan.
What?
Takatsuki-kun?
How's this for a change?
　I told them both the plan I had just come up with.　



　◇



I'm getting to the bottom of this.
Ho, that's interesting!
Surely that way...
　Great Sage-sama and Sakurai-kun showed interest in my explanation.


　--Oooh!


　At that moment, the Demon King's roar resounded, shaking the atmosphere.
　The Demon King's murderous spirit is increasing.

"Oops, it looks like you've been watching me, but you haven't made a move, so it looks like you've lost your patience.
　The Great Sage Master's gaze sharpened.

''I'll stall for time. Takatsuki-kun, please.''
I will protect you, Spirit Master.
Sakurai-kun!　We'll be ready in five minutes. The signal will be sent by the Great Sage.
　We go over each other's roles.


　--Goooooooooooooh.


　When the Demon King opened his mouth, black flames were spat out.
　It was like a gigantic flamethrower, approaching us.
　The next moment, the scenery was blurred.
　The Great Sage's spatial transition (teleportation) changes the location.


　But the demon king didn't stop attacking.
　It's because Sakurai-kun is still in that place.
　The target of the Demon King was the "Hero of Light".

　Sakurai-kun is risking his life to buy us some time.
　So I have to prepare for this as soon as possible.

It's 100% "clear water".
　And.........　



　-- "The Right Hand of the Spirit



　I raised my right hand to the heavens.
　At the same time, I also asked the water spirits in the area to help me.
　The magical power enough to destroy the comet that attacked the Fire Nation's royal capital has gathered.　　

''As expected, they've noticed.
　As the Great Sage-sama said, the Demon King's hand to attack Sakurai-kun stopped.
　As if a little lost, he also shoots black flames towards us.


''That's a half-hearted attack.''
　The moment the Great Sage-sama chanted some spell, a huge thin mirror-like wall formed in front of him.
　The moment the black flames released by the demon king hit the wall, the black flames jumped back.

(The highest level of warding magic, 'Reflection Warding'!　
　The most difficult warding magic, returning the enemy's magic directly to the opponent.
　The Great Sage mastered it like it was nothing.

"I don't have enough magic. "I don't have enough magic to do anything but use this stingy magic.
　The Great Sage Master murmurs in frustration.
　The reflection wards should be in the Holy Class........

　Demon King Zagan resumed his attack on Sakurai-kun again.
　It seems that me and the Great Sage-sama will have to wait until later.

''Let's interrupt him for a bit.
　With that said, the Great Sage Master unleashed a king-grade fire magic, the phoenix.
　The demon king avoided it depressingly.
　Sakurai-kun managed to survive the attack.

''Kukku........Demon King. You should just focus on the hero of light, but you are lost.
　I heard Great Sage-sama's joyful voice.
　This is because the Great Sage Master keeps shooting magic at the Demon King, which is not fatal, but just enough to cause moderate damage.
　From the Demon King's point of view, he must be annoyed.

''Spirit Master, are you ready yet?
...for another three minutes or so.
　I continue to gather my magic power.

　Sakurai-kun is concentrating on deflecting the Demon King's attacks.
　With that one, there should be no way to lose.
　The stalemate continues for a while and I'm ready to go.

　Alright!
　This magic will work!

"Great Sage!
Yeah!
　I called out to the Great Sage, and his voice came back with a mixture of joy.
　I activated my magic.



　--Water(⋅)magic(⋅)law(⋅)water(⋅)water(⋅)life(⋅).



　I gathered up a huge amount of magic and the magic I used was not even elementary magic, 'water generation'.
　I just used my magic power to create water.
　Further up in the sky above the dark clouds.

''Great Sage-sama!　Please do something about the clouds!　
　I call out to the Great Sage and urge him to take the next action.

'Clear.'
　When the Great Sage Master raised his voice, a gap appeared in the dark clouds.
　The gap might be a little smaller than mine.

''Tch, I'm not very good at this kind of forceful work.
　The Great Sage blurts out, but that's enough.
　A light shines through the slightest of gaps in the clouds.
　But it's not the slightest light like the one before.
　All the light in the straight(⋅)diameter(⋅)2(⋅)0(⋅)ki(⋅)b(⋅)sphere(⋅)within the sphere(⋅)is focused on a single point.

'How can you make something like that, Spirit Master?
..........
　A dumbfounded voice of the Great Sage-sama arrives, but I can't reply due to the 'spirit's right hand' and magical control.
　But I could also see it through the gaps in the clouds.


　The 'Giant Water Lens' made with water magic that spans a radius of ten kilometers.



　Sakurai Ryosuke's point of view.



　--Make a lens with water magic and collect the light.

　That was Takatsuki-kun's plan.
　I didn't know there was such a method!
　But I guess it's not a major method in this world.
　The proof of this is that the Great Sage Master, who knows everything, is nodding in admiration.

''Recruiting, spirit user. Let's go with that.
Takatsuki-kun, I'm counting on you!
　Me and Great Sage-sama took Takatsuki-kun's suggestion.

''Okey.''
　There was Takatsuki-kun, already motivated, stretching his blue arms toward the heavens.
　That face has always been the profile of a prankster's face.



　Then I became a decoy for the Demon King's attack and just surpassed him.
　The situation is similar to the one before the Great Sage came.
　But it's different.
　It's a defense with a solid plan.
　The plan is led by Takatsuki-kun.
　Then there's nothing to doubt.

　After a while, my eyes suddenly went blank.
　And then I realize it's the sun's rays hitting me.

　It's here!
　Light converged on my body from within several kilometers of my body.
　And the Light Brave skill converts the light into fighting spirit.

The Brave Man of Light skill - Savior Abel's skill is activated.

　The demon king raises his huge hand.
　It's powerful enough to crush the Highland Castle in a single blow.
　He swung it down at me.
　Until a moment ago, I could only avoid it.
　However.


　--The shield of light.


　As I held out my right hand in front of me, a huge shield appeared between the demon king and me.
　The demon king's attack was easily blocked.

　Whoa whoa whoa!
　The demon king shouts and unleashes another chase.
　A huge black flame looms.
　All of it cannot reach here.

　Meanwhile, the sun's light continues to gather.
　The magic and fighting spirit return to my body.
　I'm not going to miss this chance that Takatsuki-kun has created for me.

(.........my body is hot.)
　It seems to be burning.
　I glanced up at the sky.

　The huge lens of water with a radius of more than ten kilometers that Takatsuki had created was gathering the sun's light towards us.
　At that moment, the light became limp and distorted.
　According to Takatsuki, he had one minute to spare.
　Probably the time limit.

　But it's enough.
　I've gathered enough sunshine to defeat the Demon King.
　I chanted the magic spell that "Abel the Savior" used in the Goddess Church.


　The angels sing
　　The precious Lord's guidance.
　　　Gratitude fills heaven and earth
　　　　Rejoice in this most solemn of days
　　　　　Glory to the Goddess in the High Place


　--The Sword of Uriel, the Cutest Angel of Light


　The sword I hold turns into a sword of white fire.

　A huge lion beast with silver fur.
　I felt Demon King Zagan tremble with a jolt.
　The Demon King roared again.
　It's coming towards us.


　--The Sword of Judgment, Flash


　I quietly swung my sword.
　The trajectory of the sword seemed slow.

　At this speed, the Demon King would avoid me.
　I knew that such a misguided idea was a mistake.

　It had stopped.
　The wind.
　The flow of the clouds.
　The sound.
　And the demon king, who was headed this way, was still.

　In the midst of the stopped time, I was the only one who was moving.
　And then the sword that I slowly swung released a slash of light and reached the Demon King.
　In the next moment, a huge pillar of light rose up in a crosshairs.


　It was enough to shake the earth, and the Demon King's decisive blow echoed.
