Body motionless. I managed to bend my neck and look around me.

The floor, walls, and a semicircular area from the demon were frozen ( ).

--No way, that was ......!

I look at my body. From the chest down, I was covered with fine white granules. Frozen in places.

--Blizzard breath!

'--Fushuuuuuuu......'

The demon exhales a long white breath.

'Don't think that tricks related to "breath" are your exclusive domain, human.

'Gu......!

He tries to stand up, but his body is not strong enough.

I looked around and found Gigi and Martina lying on the ground nearby, just like me. Their whole bodies were white and frozen.

But only Prine was standing. In front of us.

Hah, hah, hah ......!

He had just fired a firelight or something, and was pointing his staff at the demon. It must have canceled out the breath. However, white ice was sticking to his feet, shoulders, and other places far from the tip of the staff.

The demon laughs.

I did not know that there was a man in this shallow level who could still stand even after receiving my breath.

'--Demon Particles, Cleave ....... Sparkling ray Pyro Ray ...... '

Ignoring Messerdevil's words, Prine unleashes her magic.

But not to the enemy, but to us. With only her wand pointing backward.

With a "gosh," the low-powered flame licks at us. It's pretty hot and a rough treatment, but it's better than being frozen. And soon,

'--a miracle of God here. Heal.

Martina applies a heel to me.

I manage to get up and ready my sword. I catch my breath.

The enemy has stopped bleeding. It is not a healing spell. It freezes the wound and closes it.

Prine!
Yes!

Just before I take my first step,

'Not next time, human.

The messer-devil takes another deep breath.

Prine points her wand at him.

'--Demon Particles, Cleave!

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Pyro Ray!

Blizzard and heat rays collide head-on.

Bakki-kiki-bakki-kiki!

Prine's flames, however, cannot completely cancel out the enemy's breath. His is by far the more powerful.

But it's still enough. As long as it's not a direct hit,

--I can jump into your bosom!

I take advantage of the gap right after he spits out his breath and slash at the top of his head. But..,

'You're slowing down.

With a "gyn," I was blocked by my crossed arms.

It was the effect of the breath, and the auxiliary magic had worn off.

d*mn it!

He flips his sword and attacks again, but..,

''Hardening.''

The enemy's leg raised to guard--his right shin, which glows silver--blocks him.

--The leg, too!

''Hmph.''

Messerdevil fires an open right fist at my temple. I just barely avoided it, but I couldn't avoid the left fist aimed at my torso. A right hook followed by a straight left fist. He reflexively jumped backward, but the force of the hook was too strong to kill,

Gah!

I received a tremendous impact in my stomach and was blown away again. I slide and roll on the still-frozen ground, and am slammed into a wall.

What the hell?

I stop breathing. Light flashes before my eyes, followed by intense nausea.

'Ugh ......!

'Ra-kun!
'Don't ......!

Prine screaming and Martina heeling me over. My body is enveloped in a miraculous light.

Firelight!

Prine released a fireball,

'I guess it's my turn!

Gigi, who had already received a healing spell, jumped out. It seems to buy us some time. .......

'Guh ......'

I feel a fresh warmth around my waist. When I look at it, it's bright red and wet. The torso of his armor was torn. A part of it must have pierced through to his belly, and he is bleeding from it.

The light surrounding my body has gone out. My heels make me feel less nauseous, and I stand up again.
Then..,

Gigi!

Martina screamed.
Gigi rolled over to the other side of the messer-devil. He did not move an inch.

d*mn--God's miracle here! ...... what?

Martina, who was praying, stopped moving. She turns to face Gigi and freezes, as if startled.


The clowns never had a chance to shine on their heels.

'Oh no ......!

No way.

'Looks like the magic's out, it's over.

Messerdevil takes a deep breath.
Prine, who has just shot a fireball, chants the spell again.

'--Demon Particles, Cleave!

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Pyro Ray!

Once again, snowstorms and heat rays collide with each other. But,

'Aaahhh!
'Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

The angle was wrong, and the unkillable breath engulfed Ms. Martina. My left leg is frozen, too.

'Ugh! ......'

Martina faints. Oh no, she can't fall asleep under these circumstances. ......!

'Hah, hah, Ra-kun, Ms. Martina, ......!

Mage Prine stands in front of us to protect us. Even she is breathing white, and every inch of her body is frozen.

--d*mn, what am I doing?

I can't feel my left leg.
Drink the potion, breathe in short and exhale long. I gather up the chi in my body with the Kouki Breathing Technique that martial artist Lynn taught me. At least I should be able to move.

No such thing as a 'fake' breathing technique.

Messerdevil takes a breath. There,

Firelight!

Prine fired a fireball spell that required no chanting. Messerdevil strikes it with his steel-formed arms, causing it to explode.

'.........'

It was not a direct hit, but the damage was done. And then..,

Firelight! Firelight!

Prine fires a series of spells. An explosive flame engulfs the messer-devil.

Firelight!

At the last moment, an oversized fireball engulfed the demon.

The body of the messer devil burst into flames.

'Hah, hah, hah, hah, hah, hah ......!

Prine breathing on my shoulder . Even if she didn't need to chant, it would take a heavy toll on her body to shoot continuously like this. She is about to fall to her knees, but she holds it in desperation.

The flames surrounding the demon do not go out. Did you beat it? ......

'Sooooooooooooooooooooo ............ hah!

With a spirit, he froze the flames that the demon was wearing. It shatters in an instant.

'Hmmm....... So this is how it is in the lower levels where the element of magic is thin. ......'

But smoke rose from its body, and its surface was burnt to a crisp.
He looks at Prine.

'Excellent, human mage! How dare you wound my body at such a young age!

'Hah, hah, hah ......!

'Can't you even reply? No wonder. I used such a difficult technique as continuous magic when I was still inexperienced.

Messerdevil glanced at me,

''I don't believe that there is a human being who can stand this much in front of me, let alone [Breath] Rana.

The devil is praising Prine.
His eyes moved as if he were licking her.
I had a bad feeling about this.

She is quite beautiful. She has perfect magic power and qualities. I guess so.

For the first time, the demon smiled.
It was a hideous, ugly smile.


I will make you my wife ( ). I will love your body day and night. You will conceive my child, become a demon mother and a demon's servant, and live forever as a 'Satanist'.


'To ......?'
'What the ......?

Prine mutters in a daze. My hair stood on end.

'You son of a b*tc*! You've got to be kidding me!

But the demon doesn't look at me.
I take a step closer to Prine. He points a finger. With a smile that almost tears the edges of my mouth off,

You have no right to refuse. Wait for me. I'll put a curse and a brainwashing spell on you. You see, most women will fall in body and soul in less than a month if they are played with by me. Soon there will be no need for the curse.

'............!

Prine's face turns pale.
I run out.

'--after I bury him first, of course.

The Messerdevil glares at me. The giant body seemed to have sunk slightly, but by then it was too late,

'Gobba ......!

The demon's right hand had penetrated my armor, through my torso, and out my back.

The messer-devil had pierced through my flank.

I was so shocked!

Vomiting blood.


Burning pain and an unbearable headache attacked me.

Die, you who have the skill of God!

The Messerdevil grabs me by the neck and pulls out his right hand, which is stuck in my gut. He throws me down.

I roll away, unable to catch myself. I can't get any power into my body. I feel the life flowing out of my pierced torso.

Ra-kun!

Prine's screams are heard in the distance.
In the haze of my vision, I see her trying to run to me. But..,

Ah!

A messer-devil stood in its way and grabbed it by the neck and lifted it up.

'No! No, let go of me! Ra-kun!
'Kkkk, lover. That's not so bad. Despair is a good spice.

Prine points his short stick at the demon.

Firelight!
'It's no use.'

Just before the magic was shot, the demon grabbed Prine's right hand and pointed it at me.

Boom!

'Gaaaahhh!

An oversized fireball hit me and blew me away.
I rolled around on the ground and came to a stop looking like a fool.
The fire of the prine was quickly extinguished, but my consciousness was about to be extinguished.

Ra-kun! Oh, oh, no... Oh, no... ......! Why ......! Why did you do this terrible ...... thing!

I hear Prine's voice crying.

'Kukku, ha ha ha ha ha! Terrible things, huh? Ha ha ha ha ha! This is good, this is the best, kkkk, let me tell you something, human'.

The loudly smiling Messerdevil left the room for a night and announced.

'That's because I am the devil.
'............!

'Kuh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Good one, the look on your face! Great! I never thought that I could pick up a pure and innocent woman like you with an order to kill a God's skill holder!

The devil laughs.

'............ uu,uu,uu,ua...... uu......'

I hear Prine sobbing.
I've heard that voice so many times.
Each time, I'd come running.
Until now.

The devil says. "I've got a great idea.

I know. I was going to do it when I got back, but I'm going to brainwash you right now. You can end the life of the man you love with your own hands.
'Oh, no. ......! No, no, no, please ......!
'Don't worry. I will leave you conscious. But your body will not be free.
No, no, no, don't, don't, don't ......!

Prine crying and begging.

Why, I think.
Why am I making her say that?
Why do I keep making him cry?
Why am I sleeping here forever!

--Get up, you stupid son of a b*tc*! You're going to be a great 'big brother' to Prine!

At that moment, my body was filled with power.
