172-Devil's miscalculation




 
After all this time, Tina had that sword in her hand.

''Yes. After Haruhito-sama, who was a guardian hero, returned to the original world, I kept all of that equipment in my possession. Um.........it's better to give them back, right?

 Tina looks a little sad.
 It's my beloved sword that I've fought with for a hundred years.

 Even though the sword was originally given to me by God, Tina has spent far more time using it than I have.

'That's something Tina can use in the future. I've got this thing on me.

 Then he showed Tina the High Kingdom.

'Are you sure?'

Yeah. Thank you for taking good care of her. And thank you for being so protective of Tina before.

 'Thank you for protecting Tina for a hundred years and thanking the sword as well.

'Thank you. I will continue to use it with great care!

 Saying that, Tina hugged the sheathed sword to her chest.


''Geez, geez, geez....''

 The demon had been resurrected.

 However, due to multiple severe wounds and the repeated use of physical regeneration, his body was not stable.

''Thug. I will kill you.

 Tentacles that stretched out when regenerating protruded from every part of his body.

 There was nothing more dangerous than a hand-bound beast with an unbroken fighting spirit.

 If you're not careful, you may receive an unexpected counterattack.

''Are you all satisfied? Can I take it from here?

I'm feeling fine.

 It's only natural that the demon's body was dismembered to such an extent.

I'd like to hit him some more, but it's not a bad idea to see what the Lord can do.

This is for you.

 Yoko, Mai and May seem to be fine.

''My magic can't do any more damage than that, so I'll leave the rest to Hurt-san.

 Rifa's wind magic is sure to hit even demons, but it's not something that can do that much damage.

''Ours is satisfied!''
Me too!

 These two were beating the demon with all their might.
 It looked a bit pleasant.

 In the meantime, they all said they'd leave the rest to me.

 So, let's get rid of the demon.

Any last words?

Last ... last time? Huh, you're kidding me.

 The demon's expression, whose flesh has stabilized, turns red with anger.

''I don't care about the despair and fear of the inhabitants of this place anymore! The entire Holy City, I will erase all of you!

 Saying that, the demon slammed his right hand, which had accumulated an enormous amount of magical power, on the floor of the Great Temple.

 The Great Temple is in the center of the Holy City.

 In other words, the center of the huge magic circle I found yesterday is here.

 The magic circle planted in this holy city was a super-powerful one that destroyed everything within its range by pouring an enormous amount of magical power into the center.

 And that was ...


 It didn't work.

 Of course it didn't. I rewrote part of the magic circle.

"What...? Why, why, why didn't anything happen?

''You were going to activate the magic circle I planted in this Holy City, right? That one won't be triggered anymore.

How the f*ck do you know about this? How did you know it was there?

Because I found it yesterday and changed it. Also, the reason I've been able to find the magic circle is because I'm a very sensitive to the presence of evil gods.

What?

Hey, be careful with that. They're coming...

What? What are you...

 In the middle of the words, a huge pillar of light fell from above the demon's head.

''Gwaaaaah!''

 The demon tried to avoid the pillar of light as soon as possible, but it couldn't completely avoid it, and its right half of its body was swallowed by the pillar of light and disappeared.

 The magic circle set up by the demon, I played with it.

 Once the magic circle was activated, I converted the magic power that was poured into it into a holy attribute before striking the activator.

 It was quite difficult to convert the magic power of the dark attribute that the demons dealt with into the holy attribute, and the conversion efficiency wasn't that good.

 Therefore, the pillar of light that fell on the demon was much weaker than the dark magic that used the magic power that was poured into it as it was.

 However, its effect was outstanding.
 The demon used its own magical power to injure itself.

 I thought that I had defeated the demon with this.

 I thought that annihilating half of its body with holy attribute magic would be a fatal wound or render it unable to act.

 Because the demons I had defeated in the past were like that.


 But this demon was resistant to the Holy Attribute.

 As it crashed down to the floor, its body was instantly transferred to somewhere else.

''Oh, shit!''

Hmm? Didn't you beat him?

No I got away.

 I was caught off guard.

 I didn't think I could transition from that state with no motion.

 I resent myself for warning the demon to 'be careful. If I hadn't said anything unnecessary, I could have made the demon disappear safely.

"Eh, that means...

 Tina seems to have noticed it too.
 But I don't see any concern on her face.

"No way...

 For some reason, Rifa has an excited expression on her face. It's as if she's expecting something ── such a face.

"That means we'll get to see our Lord's activities in action!
''Yes!''
Hurt beats the devil out of me.

 What? Why are you guys smiling?
 The devil's got you on the run, okay?
 I'm just not that good.

''I was hoping to see you in action, Master Hurt, but it's no fun when the enemy destroys itself!
Come on, Halt!

 It's not funny.

....

 I don't know what it is but they don't seem to think I'm going to lose.

 Well, I'm not going to lose.


''Master Hurt, that demon seems to have escaped outside the Holy City. I'm sensing the presence of a few demons near the demon.

 Tina had the demon's location.

'Thanks. Is it going to attack us soon?

No, he seems to be summoning a lot of demons. Perhaps...

 I see, they're planning to attack us with a large amount of materials, right?

 That means they won't attack us until a certain number of demons are present.

 If a large number of demons are going to come, I'd like to fix the sacred boundary.

 So, that's why...

I'll get some reinforcements!

 I transitioned to him(...) woman(...).
