45-44 Dariel makes his former boss a mess



 I can't get away with this, so I decided to ask him to come by force.
 I can't afford to be violent inside the house, so I go outside.

''Gufu...! If it weren't for that demon sister, it would be ours.......!

 Maleeka stayed home because she had housework and Gran to take care of.

 It's just me and Lizete taking on Zeviantes-sama.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one. You can't tell me that you're going to be competing with the Four Heavenly Kings of all times...?

 That's a scary thought.

"You're still a special agent who's going to fight the Four Heavenly Kings?
'The Special Agent's barrage is a conflict of interest in the job description! If it comes down to a stiff fist fight, would you be able to match the strongest four demon clan's Four Heavenly Kings!

 Really?
 I'm sure that's true.

The Zebiantes may be a partier, but he's a real talent who was chosen as the Four Heavenly Kings. He's the best wind wizard of the current demon race...!
Except for the previous four wind gods, right?

 She was no longer in full battle readiness and was creating a disastrous air current around her.
 It's like trying to teach the lowest class of unknowing people the difference in their abilities.

 The place is a plain on the outskirts of the village. This is a place where people from the village rarely pass by and they can rampage with all their might.

''Lizet, stay back. As expected, the Four Heavenly Kings and the special agent can't have a slugfest, can they?

 Apparently, Master Zeviantes seems to think that I'm in on it with Lyseto, and that if I threaten him, he'll offer me Mithril.

 What would I have done in the past?
 I would have been a dark soldier when I was a member of the Demon King's army.

 As a demon tribe that can't use magic, I wouldn't have any means of resistance.
If you want to kill them, kill them. The only thing I had to do was to abandon the principle of non-resistance: "If you want to kill me, kill me, but that doesn't change the correctness of my argument.

 But now it's different.
 I took out the Hermes Sword from my bosom and quickly transformed it into a long sword form.

''A.......weapon? What does it all mean?

 

 In her perception, I would still be a demon race.
 The demon race holds the weapons of the human race.
 It must be a strange thing.

''Well, that's okay! 

Her specialty, which earned her the title of "Huafu", is wind magic.
 She can manipulate the flow of the atmosphere at will.
 The effects it produces are manifold.

"Don't worry. I'm not going to kill you to get you to give me your mithril. But how in the world do you want me to do it? Would you like a gust of wind to blow it off? You want to get that thing out of here? Or we could just pull all the air out of your lungs...!

 The brutal menu seems to be on her mind.

"I will make you realize the sinfulness of your disobedience to me. You must take your time with them...!

 I.........shape the Hermes Sword through its aura.
 This weapon is made up of shape-shifting Hermes silver, which can change its shape and even its texture according to my will.

 The Hermes Sword has been transformed into a sharp-tipped Estock.

 I point it at the end and run.

''Nah!''

 In the blink of an eye, he enters his pocket and thrusts the tip of the stock at Zebiantes' throat.

 I'm not going to stab him, as expected.
 If I wanted to, I could stab him and penetrate his throat whistle.

''........Oh no! I had already triggered the storm wards........? They shouldn't even be able to get close to it...?''

 Zebiantes had an expression on his face as if he said 'I don't understand', but to me, it was a natural consequence.

 In order to break through the wind wards, an attack that is sharp and thin and minimizes air resistance is appropriate.
 And if it has a weight that won't be blown away by a bit of wind, even better.

 It is said that the strongest weapon of the human race against wind magic is the spear, a melee weapon suitable for the stinging characteristics.

 I followed suit and used my Hermes sword in stock form to perform an assault stabbing attack.

 I was able to break through the barrier of the storm.

''........will you admit defeat?
'What are you talking about!'

 I lower my stock and Zebiantes jumps out of the way as if he's been played and takes his distance.

'That was just me being caught off guard! A scumbag who can only take me down by surprise! You're going to regret letting me take you seriously!

 Zebiantes stays in the sky with his levitation magic.
 Flying in the sky against gravity is one of the unique strengths of wind magic.

''Your sword's spacing doesn't allow you to reach this distance! The failure to finish me off with a surprise attack earlier was fatal!

 Furthermore, Zebiantes emits magical power from both of his hands that he holds up and begins to chant an exaggerated spell.

''That was...!

 Multiple tornadoes occur and drift around Zebiantes.

'That's the preparation stage for Zeviantes-sama's most powerful magic, Geostorm! This is bad!

 Lizet screamed behind me.

''....I know. This is still the former Assistant Four Heavenly King, man.

The geostorm is one of the most powerful spells in the wind attribute.

 First of all, they dare to generate multiple small tornadoes, and when they are sufficiently powerful, they are combined into one.
 By doing so, it would develop into a tens of times larger tornado.

 If that great magic were to be completed, not only would the entire area around it, but the entire Lax Village itself could be cleared.

''Hahahaha! I hope it all blows over!

 It's immature to lose sight of the fact that you've been cornered a bit.

 As for me, I'm determined to prevent my beloved Lax Village from disappearing.

 That's why I can't let you complete Geostorm.

''The Super Emperor's Sky.''

 The giant aura slash released from the Hermes Sword hits the still small tornado.

''Nah!''

 The tornado that received a direct hit was slashed apart in an instant, dissipating and disappearing.

''The 'Great Emperor Splitting Sky,' the 'Great Emperor Splitting Sky,' the 'Great Emperor Splitting Sky,' the 'Great Emperor Splitting Sky'...!

 There are a lot of tornadoes, so it's a pain in the ass because you have to fire them in rapid succession to eliminate them one by one.

'Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. All the tornadoes that were supposed to develop into geostorms are being erased one by one.
Zebiantes.
Hi!

 I call out to her from the ground as she floats in the air with the blessing of the wind.
 I don't care what it is, my pants are in full view.

You know what I mean? With your current skills, you're not out of reach. We can always shoot you down.
'Awwww...?
"It would have been much easier to stop the 'geostorm' by killing you, the sorcerer, than it would have been to eliminate the tornadoes one by one. But I didn't do it. Do you know what that means?

 She buzzed and nodded with tears in her eyes.

'Then you will go down to the ground and declare your surrender, won't you?

You're not going to be able to do that.

Ugh, I never thought I'd lose...!

 Zebiantes was heartbroken and devastated.

'It's not fair that a demon race would use a weapon! Cheating and winning isn't a victory!

 He says, "I'm sorry, but it's just an accusation.

'....Can't you just realize another possibility?

 That I was really a human race.
 That's why I can handle weapons with an aura, and I can't use magic.

 Everything would add up, though.

'Yah-na-na! I want mithril! I want mithril, I want mithril, I want mithril, I want mithril, I want mithril!
I guess you're the one who can't stand it...!

 Zebiantes has become a spoiled child.

 Do you want mithril that badly...!

You want it so badly, can I give it to you?
What?

 Zebiantes, who was jittering on the ground, stopped with a snap.

'What does it mean? I thought you weren't going to raise it?
'I'm telling you I can't give you a free raise. It's our business, too.

 As long as you're paying us, it's no problem for us.

"Really? He'll sell it to us for money!
For a demon like you, it's pretty pricey.
'Wow, we did it!

 This is how the story came together.
