"Eat it, Dariel! 'Splash Tornado!'!

　Lysate approaches in a swirl of rapid water flow.
　It's not a bad idea.
It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.

　Of course it had to be dealt with.
　For that reason.........

''Huh........!
What!

　As it turned out, Rizzet's circular water flow never reached me.
　I, myself, had created a circular flow of water that swirled around me.

　However, in my case, it was an aura.

　The reflux created by the erupting aura collided with Lizete's water reflux and interfered with each other.
　Circles and circles.
　If you look at it from above, you can see that the diagram of "∞" has been created.

　And that was my own intention.

Is this...?
'Yes, Rizzet. The direction of rotation of the circular flow I created is exactly the same as your circular flow.

　So what happens when you do that?
　Rotation and rotation don't collide with each other, but rather, they mesh tightly together like gears, accelerating each other's rotation.

　The faster one pulls the slower one.

''Nuh-ahhhh!
''The rotation speed of the circular flow is affected by the basic strength of the surgeon. It means that the more powerful aura and magic power can make the vortex spin faster.

　Do you know what that means?

'Goooooooooooh!　Bastards!　It's because we put the whirlpool together, wow!

　Don't you see?

The rotation has a speed limit depending on the surgeon's strength. What do you think happens to a vortex that is accelerated beyond its limit speed by being combined with a vortex created by someone else?
"No way!　Whaaaaahhh?!

　The speed of my aura circular flow was already far exceeding the speed of Lizete's water flow.
　I'm going to have to say that I'm not going to be able to get my hands on it.

"The vortex is going too fast........I can't control it!　The magic is leaving my hands, ughhhh?

　Even if you try to back off and move away, the two vortexes that are already tightly interlocked can't be separated.
　It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get your way.

"Ggahaaaaahhhh!

　The water current, which was unable to withstand its own speed, finally destroyed itself, and the impact of the water current sent Lizate flying away.

　This is essentially a formless aura flow, and more powerful eruptions were needed to blow away the massive water flow, but it's a good thing it was powerful enough.

''d*mn........!　Shit!

　Blown away, Lizet was on her back on the ground, and looked pained as she fell.
　No, you're frustrated.

''Are you saying I can't beat Dariel after all, no matter what?　You've mastered the strongest battle techniques of water magic, but even that can't reach Dariel...!
Rizzet, remember.

　I say as I walk over to the collapsing Lizete.

''The 'Flowing Water Circle Method' is the ultimate combat method of water magic. When and where did you learn about it?
'What would be the point of asking that?　When I was young, which would have been obvious, we used to talk about it at a drinking party where we got together among our friends. When discussing the strongest of the Four Heavenly Kings, the name of General Reximeral came up........ah?
Yeah, that's what I said.

　There were some who pushed for 'Spiritual Water' Cordeliza-sama and 'Thirsty Water' Arzero in the discussion of the strongest of the Four Heavenly Kings of Water, but I was the one who forcefully argued that 'Shunsui' General Reximeral was the strongest among them.

''You were drinking with him, weren't you?　I haven't forgotten your line then.
....
"You said, 'Heh, there are people like that,' right?

　In short, you didn't know about General Reximeral until you heard my story.
　Naturally, you also didn't know about the Flowing Water Circle Law that he created.

You're not going to be able to get your hands on any of them.　You were too drunk to be subtle about whether you were listening or not.

　However, this guy has now mastered and used the 'Flowing Water Circle Method'.
　If that day's drinking session wasn't a waste of time.......

''It means that the source of the information for the Ultimate Profoundness is me. There's no reason why I can't take countermeasures against the magic I already know about.
''............?

　You're being careless, Rizet.
　However, as soon as I told you that, tears spilled out of Lizete's eyes.

　Eh?　Why?

'Well it was you, Dariel, that gave me my most powerful power.
Hmm?　Is that right?
'You always have. When I hit the wall and almost stopped, you were always the one who pushed me from behind. ...I mean, I wouldn't have made it this far without Dariel.
Maybe not?

　You became strong because of who you are, right?
　You can't get anywhere with my advice without your own efforts.

"So, in the end, I've risen in the world because of Dariel...!　I was built by Dariel for a life of everything...!　I.........!

　Lizette received some kind of incomprehensible shock, and I had trouble handling it.
　I don't know how to comfort her without incident.

''Err, well, never mind!　He said it's to your own credit that you've risen to this point in any way, shape or form!
And now that I've fought, I'm learning more and more. You are in a higher realm than us mere mortals. You're in a higher realm. From your point of view, you can see a different image of the Demon Lord than we do...?

　In terms of being on high, there is no one better than the Demon King.

　In order to understand the person in high places to some extent, you have to climb up to a high place yourself.
　But each person has a certain height of mountain to climb, and moreover, none of them can reach the point.

'Tell me, Dariel...!　How does the Demon Lord look from the perspective of a genius like you?
..........

　That was a bit hard to answer.
　It was hard to explain.

You see things that I don't. That's why you think and act differently. Then what kind of existence is the Demon Lord that you see?
..........
''I have no idea what the Demon Lord is after all. Even if he rises to the Dark General, I have no idea what he is at all!　I've never once understood who the Demon Lord is and what he wants while in the Demon Lord's army!

　Does that mean that that's the reason why Rizzet was confused this time?

　The Demon King's Army is an army to protect the Demon King-sama.
　That's the first principle.

　However, since the beginning of history, has there ever been anyone who understands the Demon King as accurately as Lizet here?

　Drismegian.
　He's a pear.

''Ordinary people like me can't understand the Demon King!　And you!　Tell me, Dariel!　What the hell are you people?!

　Rizeto is drenched in tears of frustration.
　You're going to be able to find out how much the anguish is going to hurt, but I have no way of answering it.

It's a very good idea to have a good time.　What you're thinking.
Who is that?　Who's there?

　A voice that echoes across the battlefield.
　What's this netherworldly, sticky-like voice?

No, this voice..., where have I heard it before?

　It's a subtlety that scrapes the recesses of my memory, a subtlety I can't seem to remember!

　And before you can try to conjure up more memories, a new situation makes it impossible to do so!

What?　What?

　I found my feet were flooded?
　It's shallow enough to soak your ankles, but even so, the entire ground is covered in water.

"Whaaat?　This water is...?
"It wasn't your doing, Lisette!

　Lizete is also surprised as she raises her upper body.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　How could they let the water spread over such a wide area.....

''When did we get here...?

　I didn't notice it at all. If it flowed in from somewhere, I should have been able to hear it or feel it, and yet I didn't feel anything.

　And yet I didn't feel anything.

　It's as if a stream of water that had no flowing water seeped out of the place.......?

''.........stagnant water with no flow.......this can't be.......?''
What's the matter, Rizzet?　How did you know that?
It's right there!

　Huh?　Where?

　Rizzet pointed to a single small hill by the side of the battlefield where the Demon King's army and adventurers were staring at each other.
　Because of the high point, no water reached only there, and he was standing on top of it.......

''That guy.........?''

　As expected, I remembered when I saw him.
　That guy is one of the Four Heavenly Kings........

Bezelia from "Muddy Water"........!
