After watching Mr. Aranziel's tremendous evolution, the last thing left was the wreckage.
　The shabby wreckage of a horrible enemy.

''Gosh, oh, oh, oh!　Ko, oh, oh, oh!

　That Drismegian fellow is still writhing around, trying to connect his weeping body and waist together.
　But he can't succeed in any way.

　This is because Aranziel-san's secret profundity has defined the two as no longer identical.

'It's no use. You've already lost,''

　It took two of the greatest heroes of our time to beat them.
　I hope you appreciate what you've done and embrace it.

You've turned out to be quite a bore after all, haven't you? You are a boring guy after all, a hell-raiser who has lost his way in the world, right?
"What the hell did you do that for?

　I'm pretty pissed off at him too.

　I can't tell you how many times his evil schemes have disrupted my life.
　I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do anything about it.

　That's why I wanted to rip him off anyway.

You're the one who doesn't know how to defeat the Demon King. I'm not going to take you for granted," he said. I'm sure he wouldn't even care about you. It's because you're scum.
"What are you talking about?　Take it back!　How could he not care about me?　Take it back!

　From what I've learned through several contacts, the thing that makes this guy tremble the most when he's touched is about the Demon King-sama.

　The ultimate goal of this guy is to defeat the demon king.
　All of the various evil things he did in hiding are also connected to defeating the Demon King.

　Why is he so hostile to the Demon King?
　No, or do you have a passion for defeating the Demon King, itself?

　I don't know which one, and the nature of that passion is a mystery to me.

"Not yet, I haven't stopped yet...!　Until we beat him, until we beat him, yeah, yeah!

　What is it that drives this guy to this point?
　What is it that drives him to this point?

Mr. Dariel!
Yes?

　As I was doing this, the group arrived.

　Radey?
　And Zebiantes and Droyer. The brave party.

　They're coming in again in droves.

We've rushed in at full speed, but it looks like it's all over.

　Even his senior, Ida-san.

"We've confirmed that they're a diversion, so we've rushed over. .........I shortened the sectional distance with the spatial distortion I used to send Estelica out and had the wind user over there increase his speed, so he should have been able to move pretty fast.
'He was moving so fast!　It's self-reinforcing!

　Zebiantes was breathing heavily.

　Furthermore, everyone except for Ida-san was ragged all over her body, and you could tell that she must have gone through a very intense battle.

''Looks like it was an intense battle over there too.
Yes, well, Dariel and the others...

　Radey's gaze turns to Drismegian, who is rolling on the ground with his upper body only.


'Too'?
But you beat it so easily. You're very good at it, Dariel.

　No, it was mostly Lady Granberza and Mr. Alanziel who did it.
　That seemed pretty easy, too, right?

"...if you guys are coming over here..................then Celnya is down.
Yes, it was a noble end.
He's even more useless than I thought he was. He's just a worthless piece of trash, isn't he?
'It's....?'

　Radie coloured in to Drismegian's monologue.

'You don't say that very well!　He was fighting for you, Mr. Cernya!　He even merged with a hexenbiest to fight for his loyalty to you!　Even if you lose, that belief should be admired!
It means nothing if there are no consequences. He's a hapless man who died and still failed.
Then.....

　Mr. Ida approaches Drismegian, who smiles coldly.

'What about you, Ida?　Are you saying that you're not 'not hapless' now that you're being cut in half and rolling on the ground while fusing with a flame monster beast?
..........
Come on. How many times do I have to repeat the mistake?　Everything you do after you die is a trampling of your accomplishments in life. The unseemliness of your death makes me want to weep more than you do.
What if,

　Drismegian says to his former ally.

"Look away and look away. "Look away, but it's my business, not yours. So this this is between me and him.

　Don't be silly.
　This is between you and the Witch King.
　How many people have you gotten involved in that kind of thing?
　Some of them didn't just get involved, they lost their lives. Are you saying that those people died for no reason at all, for your play, which had nothing to do with it?

'I've never seen a prick as bad as you. You're worse than anyone I know!

　More than Bashbaza, more than Pigalo, more than Roselwy.
　This guy is the most disgusting and disgusting.

　It is offensive to have this fellow within sight of me!

Call it what you will...!　I will do whatever it takes to bring him down!　I don't care if you're a coward, or a cold-blooded man, or if you fall to the bratty bastards!　I exist even after death just to defeat him!

　Even though I thought I was no longer completely incapacitated, Drismegian stood up.
　No, I jumped up.

　I'm not going to be the only one who can do that.
　The way it looks is very similar to Bashbarza, the deceased whom I had just trampled on a moment ago.

"If it can't be repaired, I don't need this leg either!

　With that, he shoots a flaming bullet at a part of himself that rolls to the ground.
　The lower half of my body, which was crying out from him, immediately bursts into flames, losing its outline and burning to the point where I can't even recognize its original form.
　But that's when the strangeness began.
　The burning mass of pure flame suddenly flew up into the sky.
　Flying to its destination was the upper half of Drismegian's body.

　Without hesitation, the flames jumped into him and blazed.

"Hahahahahahahaha!　I guess re-fusion is still possible if we can reconfigure it from scratch here!
'Don't be stupid!　That's not called re-fusion anymore!　You just burned it and turned it into fuel!　So they're only going to burn something up...?
That's right. We will burn this village to the ground!

　Everyone froze at the fierce declaration.
　The high heat emitted from the Drismegian gradually raised the temperature around them, and their skin tingled and sweated from the high heat.

'I really wanted to do it smarter than that. I killed them one by one, painstakingly killing them one by one, making sure Dariel could see how well I could cut my friends, wife and family, drawing out the hatred and taking them in when they were at their best. It would have been more sustenance if we could have taken in the souls of the other strongmen as well.

　You still think that's a bad idea...!
　You prick!

'But you don't seem to have the luxury of taking such a long time. I'll admit it. You guys are strong. So let's give up on our best achievements and focus on winning first!

　The flames expand around Drismegian.
　Into a sphere.

'Tremendous heat........?

　And that radiance.
　It's as if the sun has come down to earth.

Anyway, Dariel!　As long as I get you, I'll be happy with this situation!　Survive well on your own!　That's the kind of super wide-ranging annihilation magic I'm talking about!　I'm going to warp space!　You tried to neutralize it with that white flame!　He was trying to pull me in with a cheat!　There's not enough to deal with it all!
No!　He's going to burn the whole village down!

　To be able to use magic on that scale is unimaginable.
　Is that because he fused with a magical beast, or was it his own strength from the start?

''The inhabitants will be wiped out for sure!　Not a single piece of cinder block remains in the village!
Claystone barrier!　No, not even close!　The area of expected damage is too big!
Satome!　Can your shields...?
I'm not going to have enough!

　Those on the ground, left and right.

Everyone back!

　I shouted as I grabbed my Hermes sword.

"In this situation, we have no choice but to annihilate them all before they can unleash their magic!　With my 'Exalted Sky'........!

　I will make his very existence disappear!
　It's a risky bet, but it's the only way!

Let's go!　AAAAAHHHHHH!
Wait.

　Suddenly a prolonged voice came between me and him.

What?
You didn't mean to say that!

　The appearance of that person is just baffling.
　It's hard to believe that he came by himself.

That's right. I'm the Demon King.
