Ooh!

I was about to leap to unleash the Zemoh-Spachku, but the sudden appearance of that gentleman brought me to a halt.
　I'm going to be in the middle of a battle.

　I nearly fell head first.

"Oh?　Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

　I wasn't the only one who was shocked.
　Even Doris Megian, who is about to unleash a massive, wide-ranging fire spell in the sky, is stunned to lose her expression.

"Oh....!　
Hey, how are you doing?

　A gigantic man suddenly appears in the skies above Lax Village.
　He is richly dressed and glittering, reminiscent of some royalty, but his face and body are strong and have the appearance of a fierce beast.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

Bokuchin.

　I say.

'No, Doris Meghian kun?　You've lost weight since you first saw me.　Isn't chopping off your entire lower body a bold diet?
I didn't expect you to be happy.
Are you the kind of person who says, "My feet are just for decoration.

　Those gathered on the ground all looked up at the heavens with an equally astonished and shocked expression.

"What a surprise...?
How dare the Demon Lord come by himself?
My God of War...?

　Each of them had different names for the existence of the Demon King.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

　Especially the brave Radie.

''Eh?　What?　What?　That's the Demon King?　That's the Demon King?

　To her, it's the final destination that she should reach after overcoming all odds.
　It can be said that it came casually from the other side.

　You can't help but be unable to keep up with the curiosity.

''Demon King, is that...?
''What a majestic Kai-wei, isn't he...?
But he just said 'Bok-chin'!
More importantly.... wait a minute, don't you think I've seen that face before...?　..........?　The statue of the fighting god of the center guild!

　The human side's first time seeing the Demon King's first time group was also perplexed by the Demon King's glorious visit, which should be their final goal.

''Dariel-san!　Is it really...?
Yes....

　I must tell a bewildered Radie.

"That's the Demon King. The ruler of the demons and the world's greatest transcendent. And he's the target for you brave men to beat.

　I didn't expect the Demon King to come here.
　I never imagined it.

　It was hard to believe that that person would even move from the Demon King's Castle.
　If he could move, why didn't he come here in the first place?

''Why..., why are you...?

　And it was Drismegian who was most shocked, all calm vanished.

'You're not supposed to move!　Waiting for someone to come and knock you down from that throne!　That was supposed to be the rule!　And yet...!
Sometimes even I want to say 'I'm here'.

　The two transcendents facing each other.

　They are said to be 'the man closest to the Demon King', even though Drismegian is also the 'man closest to the Demon King'.
　And with the long-cherished wish to overthrow the Demon King, they have been planning to achieve this goal using every evil means possible.

　And now, at long last, she is facing the Demon King directly.

It's been a long time since we've seen each other face to face like this. It's been a long time since we've seen each other, hasn't it, Zaemon?
..........
I missed you so much.
''Shut up!''

　Drizmegian also glared back at the Demon King-sama as he floated in the air.
　The meaningless gestures were accompanied by a scorching fire stream, and if there was anyone around, it was likely to burn them to death with that alone.

''I am........!　I've moved to take you down. No, I've moved to take you down!　And you don't come to us!　What a simple act!　When did you become such a little thing?
Yeah, I know. I'm proud of you, Drismegian.

　I can't understand the depth of their conversations.
　What kind of emotions do those two have for each other?

But I can't show you this time. Drizmegian, you've brought too many people into this. That's not the way it works.
What...?
'I don't care about Sernya-kun, Siegfriedgel-kun, Avos-kun and Tortoritu-kun, okay?　Isn't it beautiful when they join forces with the same goal, hoping to beat me, too?　Adolescence, right?　I think it's fine, that kind of thing.

　But..........
　Demon King-sama continued.

"I don't think it's a good idea to try to mix up people who don't want to. Isn't that just out of character for you and me?
Is that why you're here to stop me?
Dariel, you're the one I'm looking for in a different line of work, aren't you?　I just don't want you to go out of business.
Shut up!

　The flames swirling around Drismegian, the great flames originally prepared to burn down the village, apparently changed their target to the Demon Lord.

''Ole!　You have no idea how much preparation I've put into bringing you down!　In the midst of all that hell!　While I'm being burned!　I don't want that effort to be appreciated by you, my enemy!
'Then you should have used Siegfriedgel-kun as planned. It's not a good idea to shake your side eye.
''.........?''

　Drismegian is horrified.

You.....?　Have you seen through my plan, my whole...?
Yeah, I know that. I knew you'd be the first to figure it out. That's good to know. Aura and magic fused together. It is the most powerful force mankind has ever known.

　Aura fused with magic...?

You found out in the depths of hell, and you continued your research. You've reached the practical stage after selecting the best materials from the experimental materials I sent you. The result is Siegfried's 'Encounter Sky'.
I didn't think you... that you'd understand that much...
But you weren't satisfied with that. You wanted a more complete victory, and you wanted to get out of hell, gather more filthy souls, and even wanted Salamandora-chan, the fiendish beast.

　The demon king spreads his hands out in acceptance.

You tried to beat me by taking all the necessary precautions, didn't you? You did your best, didn't you? I know. I know how seriously you want to beat me. You're the only one who's that serious about beating me.

　You are the one....
　"You are the one," said the Maori Master.

"You're the one who knows me best.
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...?

　Hey....?
　Seriously?　See...?

　Drismegian is crying!

"Oh, how...!　That's how I know you best. I'm a scorpion and a snake to get what you want most!　That's why we needed Dariel!
'Yeah, it's...'
"If Dariel and I join forces, we can surely defeat you!

　A declaration of victory resounded in the sky.
　The many people looking up from the ground are overwhelmed by this energy.

What in the world is he looking at...?

　All he could see was that Drismegian's vision was high enough that the others couldn't see through it.

''Well no, now that you've appeared in front of me like this, I'll show you how to beat you even without Dariel. The time for playing tricks is no longer over!
You think you could take on a guy like me when you're not at your best?
''Even without Dariel, I still have the power of the Fiendish Beast Salamandra!　There are countless souls reaped on earth!　With this power, Ozin, I will defeat you!

　The flames emitted by the Drismegian swelled to a scale that covered the sky as well.

　Moreover, the color of the flames turned blood red.

　It's proof that they are converting their souls into magical power.

''Unleash your power, Flame Monster Beast!　Destruction raging in my midst!　This is the guy you should be hitting with your full strength. Give it everything you've got until it's all gone!
''Is that........?''

　Drizmegian is trying to exert all his strength.
　The man who has arranged such a profound hand, the opponent who has to expose everything is the Demon King.

　No, it was obvious.........

''Hmmm, well, it can't be helped, can it?

　The whole world was about to be consumed by the flames of hell, but the Demon King was the Demon King himself.

I knew this was going to happen as soon as I saw you in person," he said. Drizmegian, you are trying to entertain me a little too hard, aren't you?

　But.........
　While creating such an atmosphere, the Demon King-sama

But it's all right. Well, how do you want to hang out with your Drismegian friend?
