296-295 Gels challenges Dariel



 In battle, sometimes the air of the place is dominated by one color.

 When something too overwhelming appears, all the attention of those on the battlefield turns to the same direction, and everyone thinks the same thing.
 Oddly enough, it's a situation of 'unity of mind'.

 It's ironic that they are supposed to have opposing wills to kill each other, but their thoughts are aligned.

 The powerful power required for that.
 It seems that this time, it's me who will fill that power.

''Let's say that with a single strike of the current 'Great Emperor Splitting Sky', we can defeat a hundred enemies...''

 The Demon King's army in front of us is said to number 2,000 men.

That means we can eliminate all of them in 20 rounds.

 Zazazazazazazazazan!

 The 'Super Emperor's Splitting Skies' are fired in rapid succession, busily moving their arms.
 All of them disappeared into the sky, but the momentum was too much for them to fire twenty-two shots.

''Uhieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?

 The screams of the soldiers as if their souls were blown out.
 They must have felt their lives scattered by a paperweight.

''Don't think that just because it's a big move that it can't be fired continuously.''

 I'm aware that my stamina has been improving lately by keeping up with my son Gran.
 

''You guys seem to be convinced of our absolute superiority in terms of numbers, but that's not quite right. One of you can do the work of more than a thousand men.

 Use your aura, your magic.

You can run away from me in fear of my strength. There's no shame in being an army and avoiding a fight you can't win.

 I'd rather have them withdraw quickly, since there's no complications or anything else except for Rizzeto.
 After that, let's have a long talk with Lizete.

''Heeeeeee...?
The village chief is this powerful...?
Didn't Gasita-san elaborate on his story...?

 Even our fellow adventurers are trembling, let alone our enemies.

 I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.
 It doesn't help that the younger generation doesn't even know that I can fight.

 On the other hand, the Demon King's Army too.......

"Dariel has an aura...?
And she's absurdly strong...?
So he's not just the weakest of the weak...?

 The old soldiers who knew me back then were baffled by this.

 It's a good thing that you're not the only one who can't use magic.

I'm going to fight you guys, even if it's by myself. And I'll win. Would you recommend retreating to avoid unnecessary casualties?
No!

 Then one, a youthful voice.
 And it was a declaration of refusal.

 Who the hell is that?

"The proud Demon King's army should not cower in fear of the enemy! "Even if we lose, the spirit of the Demon King's Army is to fight until the last man is gone!
Who are you to say that?

 He's a young man, isn't he?
 I think I'm old enough to call him a boy, and he only joined the army two years ago.

 Then it's no wonder that you don't know me.

I'm one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King's Army! Gels, who was given the title of "weak fire" by the Demon King! A new shield to protect the Demon King!
Oh, you're...?

 You've finally decided on a new fire quadrant.
 It's been nearly five years since Bashvaza died. It's been vacant for all those years, and I've been worried about it.

 Zeviantes and Droyer also retired from the Four Heavenly Kings, and as expected, it became essential to replace the newcomers, so they picked them out together.
 Then the Four Heavenly Kings were completely reconstituted?

What about the new guys, by the way?
Why does the enemy care about that? This is me, Gels from Weak Fire, Siltke from Breeze, and Meris from Rift Valley!

 Why all those subtle titles?

 The titles that are given to the Four Heavenly Kings are usually decided by the Demon King, but what's the purpose of this kind of harassment?

"I, Gels, the 'weak fire', have been selected as the Four Heavenly Kings, even though I am young and inexperienced, and I will do my best to fulfill that responsibility. You can't run away from this battle, your first mission, with your eyes open!
Do you have to call it that?
''We must shake off the stigma of our predecessor Bashbursa and regain the mighty Four Heavenly Kings of the era of the strongest Granbursa-sama! And that's why I'm not retreating! No matter what kind of enemy you're up against!
No matter what enemy you face!
"Why are you crying?

 I'm sorry.
 I was moved to tears.

 Because the new Four Heavenly King was so healthy.
 If he was as upright as he was, he would surely become a great Fourth Heavenly King.

''But he's still young. You're making a mistake between recklessness and courage.''

 As a forerunner, I'd like to give you all the advice I can.

"You'll never beat me no matter how hard you try. You know that already. You know that already. You know you're going to lose, you tried without consideration, and as expected, you failed miserably, and the result was a spectacular loss.
What?
"A truly great fighter is one who sees the purpose of the battle and strives only to carry it out.

 It's no different for the Demon King's soldier of the demon race and the adventurer of the human race.

Winning is not about killing the opponent, it's about achieving the goal of the battle. "Winning a battle is not about killing your opponent, it's about achieving the goal of the battle, and you're a fool for fighting a meaningless battle that you can't win. If you're going to play the role of the Four Heavenly Kings, you shouldn't just run straight ahead, you should also learn how to back away and go around.
"Enemies don't preach to the choir!

 No, well.........
 If you say so, I wouldn't be able to say a word.......
 It's none of my business.....

''So much for confusing me with nonsense! I'll beat you and take the Mithril mine for my first achievement as the Four Heavenly Kings! And bring back the glorious Four Heavenly Kings of the Grand Barza era!

 Gels-kun and the others, leaping towards me.

 I'm not sure if it's because of the explosive power of fire magic, or if it's because they fly to a considerable altitude.

It's a good idea to have a good time. "Blaze Slaughter!

 Hoh.
 This is a high-level spell of the flame magic type.
 This is an annihilation spell that casts intense flames over a wide area.

 It's a good idea that you are skilled enough to use the big techniques for battle in actual combat. And at such a young age.
 It seems that he has the talent to be chosen as the Four Heavenly Kings.

 However.

"...Wha...?

 There's no need to use some kind of technique.
 All I had to do was hold out my hand and the vicious flames dissipated, not even a spark of fire remained.

It's gone? My flame? How is that possible? It's my most powerful spell, and you can't even reach the enemy, let alone defeat it?
I'm sorry I didn't have enough to counteract it.

 But this is the safest way to handle it.

 What I just did wasn't done by aura.
 It's magic.
 The magic factor that I acquired from Bashburza in the past enabled me to manipulate magic power, and I secretly acted on Gelz-kun's magic flame to take away his control and order him to disappear.

 I've heard that Grampaza-sama also did so in the past, and that's how he got the upper hand in the battle against the inferno.
 It's an effective method of warfare. When I was young, I also desperately studied to be able to use magic, and I didn't think it would be useful now.

''d*mn! Once again, 'Blaze slow........?
''It's a bad idea to repeat a magic that didn't work once without any kind of effort to make it work again.
''Agh!''

 The cutting edge of the Hermes sword is thrust into Gerz-kun's throat flute.
 Even the bloodthirsty man would not be able to move after being treated like this.

 There is a battle to be won.

"The Four Heavenly Kings have been defeated...?
And he lost in a one-sided manner...?
He's a child. He's a kid...?

 The soldiers of the Demon King's Army were trembling as they watched the outcome of the battle.

I hope they can feel my strength at least once in their lives.
What does that mean? What do you mean...?

 After seeing how I've fought up to this point, anyone with a little bit of combat experience will understand.
 I'm not going to be able to get away with it.

 
 I'm not going to be able to get a good look at it.

 I'm not going to leave it up to the brave men.

I'm not going to be the only one who can do that. It's a good thing that I can fulfill the wishes of the other people within that range.
If you really believe that...!

 A new will to fight.
 Rizzet faces him in battle formation.

"Fight me, too, Dariel. If your true intentions can only be seen through fighting, then I will also see through your belly in battle with you...!
