Eldora's deafening mad laughter echoed through the courtyard.
　I couldn't help but frown.
　Ray, on the other hand, creepily questioned me.

'What's so funny, Eldora!
"Gah-ha-ha, of course it's crazy!　I can't help but laugh at this!　Gah-ha-ha-ha, you've made a mistake!　And yet, after killing the Demon Lord, the Yatter is still doing the stupidest dance of them all.　What a bunch of congratulators, gahhahahahahaha!
What mistake did we make?　We've lost our magic bullet general, so don't act so tough, Eldora!
'You're the only ones who can be strong now, baaaaaaaaaacah!

　Eldora sticks out her tongue wide and taunts him.
　That tongue grows and grows and grows.
　It stretches and hangs down to the point that it is impossible for a human to do so.
　At the same time, Eldora's entire body grows many times larger.

　And then - it turns into a monster that is four meters tall.
　It is a monster with three right and three left arms each, for a total of six arms.
　One of the arms on each side of the body turned into a long blade from the wrist to the tip.
　One arm on each side has a bow from the wrist to the tip.
　The remaining arm is a bow with an arrow nailed to it.

You were killed in the wrong order!　"When the Eight Demon Generals die, they hand over all of their mighty power to people like me who are welcomed by the demon side.　Thank you for that, huh?　Now that you've slaughtered the calicoons, I have all the mighty power in the world!　Gahhhh!　GAHAHAHAHAHAHA!　

　Eldora Calicoon struck the four weapons supported by his six arms and laughed loudly.

　Seeing such a figure, Ray said a few words.

''Eldora is really happy to be in such a creepy form...?

　Haha, well said!
　This is what I mean by painful.
　But for Eldora, it would be painfully ironic. He immediately turned his face red and black.

'Shut up! Just because you don't want to admit a mistake doesn't mean you're going to miss the point!　You guys put me out of your misery, right?　That's why you couldn't kill him, right?　You're such good girls, aren't you?　Redeem that folly with your lives!

　He shoots bows and arrows from both sides at me and Ray.

"Eldora Callicoon's level is calculated to be 43, having inherited the power of the Magic Bullet General.
　That's the bow and arrow fired by the highest boss monster in the world.
　Naturally, it's not warm. Or rather, he would normally be unable to do anything and would be shot through the brain, killing him instantly.

　Yes. Unless they were shooting at me and Rey.

Barracuda Mail.

　Ray reveals a shield-like water film (waterbuckler) on his left arm and deflects the arrow in the wrong direction.

''--Moula a nou a bain on ren tilt.

　I intercepted the arrows head-on with my customized Mana Bolt III, which shortened the chant in exchange for power.

It's not us who are stupid, and we won't be the ones to redeem ourselves with our lives. It's you, Eldora Callicoon.

I held up the tip of my Fiendish Staff to him and told him.

　We never took them down in the wrong order.
　On the contrary. We were just stalling to make sure this would happen.
　We were just stalling for time so that we wouldn't have to kill you before the Magus General.

According to the Captain's Handbook, in this Grand Duchy, quite a few people had secretly sold their souls to the Maglican General.
　Nobles, knights, the list goes on and on.
"I heard that he had a hard time finding someone to seduce.
　It is said that there were only two extremes of people in Luxun's power: those who are capable and ambitious, and those who are incompetent and greedy. It seems that none of them were the capable and greedy ones that the demons really wanted.
　So they had no choice but to take random chances with them.

　That's why I couldn't take out the Bullets General without a fight.
　You never know who you're going to give your power to if you screw up your timing.
　I could disappear again, just like Elise Barrak.
　I don't want to make the same mistake.
　So, Eldora. I knew that if I kept you alive, you would inherit the power of the Magus General in the first place.
　And that's exactly what happened.

No more reticence.

　We'll take them down as hard as we can from here.

　　　　◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇.

　I--Rei, the Warrior of Light, slashed at Eldora, who had turned into a demon.
　Chocolat and Gladius on either side?　will solidify and I can only focus on the front.

'd*mn it!　Shit!　Shit!　They all stink!

　Eldora slashes his two swords left and right, messily.
　He tries to cut off us, who are attacking him from three sides, as if he is bothering us.

　But thanks to this, my sword muscles are distracted.
　I can use Black Claymore to catch them off guard with ease.
　Chocolat also became a full-time defense, mockingly and teasingly dodging the slashes with fluttering gestures, making Eldora more and more agitated.
　Gladius, too, with his massive arms, tightly guarded and kept his sword at bay. That irritates Eldora again.
　Eldora also has two fine swords at great expense, but he doesn't take advantage of his two swords.
　Although I say this...........................his taiji is dirty. If it were Magnus, he would probably just dismiss it as 'clumsy'.

"Chuckle. He doesn't have any experience fighting many people against each other, does he?
How dare you erase yourself?

　It seems that Chocolat has pointed to a figure.
　Eldora immediately turned red in the face.

　But if you think about it, it's true.
　When Eldora was in our party, we always fought with four people.
　Naturally, when we fought, it was one-on-one.
　Even now, before the "Magic Bullet General" invaded, we were planning to go one-on-one combat, and even after the invasion, it was practically one-on-one in two places.

"I'll kill you, maid!

　Eldora angrily slams his right sword into Chocolat.
　Chocolat dodges that too straight sword streak with a flurry of readings and predictions.
　The flailing Eldora hits the ground too hard and loses his stance.

''Aw, in this country's dialect, do you refer to the ground as a maid?''
'Teme ee ee ee!

　As Eldora's blood rises more and more to his head, Gladius punched him in the face.

''Teme too?

　Eldora throws a left sword to the body but Gladius guards it well.
　Eldora now has both swords swinging from side to side and his body is open to the side as well.
　In other words, the front is empty.

''Prominence Blade!

　The super-powerful Skill, which I acquired from Eldora, is launched head-on.

''Tickle me, why?　I've got the power of a magic bullet general.　It's funny, this is so funny!

　Erdora is a dada like a child.

　It makes me think....
　Eldora and I, as warriors of light and as friends, went on a journey together and fought demons.
　It was Eldora who taught me how to fight when I was just a simple villager.
　Back then, he was a really reliable man....
　Now, I'm the only warrior of light, and Eldora has become a demon and is fighting like this.
　No, is this really a battle...?

　In just a few months, my life has taken two turns.
　One was being betrayed and abandoned by Eldora.
　The other - yes, I met Magnus.

　When we first met, I was pretty stubborn, you know.
"Don't tell me what to do! I was always saying that.
　But Magnus was patient with me, and he was patient with me.
　He didn't rush me and waited for me to heal from the pain of being betrayed by Eldora and the others.
　No, I don't.
　Magnus had reminded me of the importance of trusting each other.
　So the wound was wiped clean.
　Before I knew it, I stopped saying "Don't tell me what to do". I can't remember the last time I said it anymore.
　I went from being stubborn to being able to communicate with Magnus in a very natural way.
　We had all sorts of adventures, you and I.

　All the journeys and battles and growth that I was supposed to have done with Eldora and the others, but didn't.
　Magnus and the others did that for me.

　I realize that now.
　I used to have Eldora and Teresa on either side of me, and Lad behind me, fighting the demons.
　Now I have Chocolat and Gladius on my left and right, with Magnus behind me, watching over me.
　I'm the only warrior of light left, but I'm fighting with the four of us, the Magus General.

　Glad to hear it.
　Happy to hear it.

I'm sorry, Eldora. I have no hope of losing at this point.

　I unleashed the Rainbow Rush.
　While Chocolat and Gradius created it again, I hit the big move with the Seven Attributes seven consecutive attacks.

"Wait!　Wait!　Wait, Ray!

　Eldora, who had been beaten one way or the other, finally began to beg for her life.

'I'm one of you, aren't I?　No, we were buddies, weren't we?　Remember our friendship then!　Don't do this horrible thing again, please!

　I didn't know what to look like when I heard that.
　So I just shouted out.

'Friendship?　If you weren't the first to forget about it, I wouldn't be able to...

　Beyond that, I couldn't speak anymore.
　So many emotions were swirling around in my head, making me goofy.

'I'm a warrior of light!　One of the chosen ones of the Divine Spirit Prominence!　It would be a bad idea to kill me, wouldn't it?

　Eldora used her four-meter-long hulking body to its fullest extent and waved her six arms vigorously to assert her vindication.

'I know you don't look very much like a warrior of light right now but I get it.
Oh, you understand me!　My friends!
It's one of my unique skills, and I have a few judgments.
What...?
'It's a skill that does additional damage for every crime you commit. This.
"...wait!　Wait, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
If you're a righteous warrior of light, you can do no damage. What would you do for peace of mind?

　Without any hesitation, I slammed the Judgment into Eldora.



　The most terrific scream I've ever heard emanated from Eldora's mouth.

　　　　◇◆◆◆◆.

　I - the wizard, Magnus - was waiting for the moment in peace.
　Eldora Callicoon attacked me vigorously with her left and right bows and arrows, but I didn't panic or make a fuss, concentrating on evading and intercepting them.
　I knew that if I did so, I would get my chance.
　I knew that Ray, Chocolat and Gladius would make it in person.

　Ray. Thank you.
　I have to say, I'm happy to oblige.
"You were the reason I was able to engineer a foolproof series of battles between General Magpie and Eldora Callicoon.
　You've grown beyond my expectations, and that's a credit to you.
　If not, I wouldn't have been able to keep my MP up.

I don't think I'm going to lose. So much for not wanting to lose.

　I smiled thinly.
　Soon after, Ray's Judgment exploded and Eldora Callicoon screamed in agony.
　I've already concocted my 《Magic Power》.
　And then I chant a long spell.

　Eldora Callicoon's weakness is the same as that of the Magic Bullet General.
　Then we'll use the same combined magic to finish him off.
　I'm not going to be the only one who can do this, but I'm going to be the only one who can do it.

　I'm going to reveal a lightning bow and arrow from my superimposed fists, ready and waiting to be drawn.
　Then I aimed at Eldora Callicoon - and let go of the arrow in my right hand.

　The result is needless to say.
