"Warding Magic, Prismatic Sanctuary.

　In the midst of releasing the Fire Spear, the demon god Von Bask spun its magic.

　Then an invisible ward appears around VonBusk.
　One after another, the spears of fire stabbed into the wards and were sucked into the wards and disappeared.

'What's the matter, is it a giveaway already?　It was a quicker root than you thought.

　It's hard to break the wards with Fire Spear when it's like this.

　I stopped the barrage of Fire Spears and looked at Von Bask, who was out of breath.

''I don't see how we can hang out with you any longer.

　His face contorts and Von Busk says so.
　You look like you have plenty of time to spare, but you seem to be quite irritated.
　Von Bask uses healing magic to heal the wounds all over his body.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make your life easier.　You don't think this is the end, do you?
Don't be stupid-- hmm?

　Suddenly, Von Bask shifted his gaze to Avril.
　And with a high smile on his face.

'Hahahahahahaha!　So that's it!　You're him! You're him!　You've been so concerned about the heretics that you've been slow to notice!
Is this about me...?

　Averill points to himself.

'You, it seems you are still alive. The world is a small place. I never thought I'd see you here.
What are you talking about, my Lord? Have you lost your mind after what Kurt did to you?
Crazy?　Ha! No way!　I've had a thousand years to live, and to me, the magic of the heretics is cool.

　You have such a big mouth.

　It makes me want to let out a sigh.
　Von Bask's magic, even though he's doing it by adding or subtracting to analyze the magic power.

　However, thanks to the healing magic, Von Bask's body was nearly repaired.
　Originally, being a demon god, his regeneration ability must be higher than that of a human being.

'After all, you were a heretic. To be working with such a person.
'What are you talking about, you. Do you know about Averill?

　Avril said she had no memories of her childhood.
　He also said that when he found out, he was able to release high difficulty magic without laboring.
　Von Bask told the truth in a heartily amused tone of voice, "The man....


''That person ... is the son of a demon and a human!


　VonBusk's voice echoed in the throne room.

'Wow, you think I'm half demon...?　To such an abomination?　Hey, genie!　Ugh, don't lie to me. My parents were proper...
What?　Funny thing to say. Do you remember your parents?
It's...

　Von Bask's question caused Avril to choke on her words.

'Your memories are what I have locked away. You have no memory of what happened before that event.

　Von Busk holds up his hand.

"Very well, I'll show you the truth. You can see the truth. Look at the heretic. Woe to you for your stupidity in associating with that filthy scoundrel!

　The magic formula unfolds.

　The magic formula gradually diffused and entwined itself with Avril and me.
　A sepia-colored image pops into my mind--

　The same as in the past.

Kill the boy.

　It's Von Bask's voice.

　

''There's no way I can do that!　This is the most precious child between me and Arica. It's a labor of love. No matter how much you were a god of slaughter, I have no right to listen to your orders!

　The man defied Von Bask's command with strong words.

　
　It's a good idea to protect the baby from VonBusk with his body.

It's trivial. No, do humans call it 'love'?　It's a silly sentiment.

　Von Busk spreads his arms and continues in an acting tone.

'Ah!　My God!　

　Quite simply, Von Busk moves his index finger.

'Gah...!

　Suddenly the man's neck is held painfully.
　Von Bask is holding the man's neck by magic.

"Oh, you...!
"To you who have such a child and defy me, I will give you something more painful than death.

　Von Bask clenched his fists tightly, and the man's figure disappeared.

　Dead?

　...no, not this one.

"Listen, demoness who mingled with men. The man is not dead. He was just erased from the dimension.

　What does that word mean?
　The woman of the demon tribe understood, and as she looked at him, her face turned pale.

I think you, demoness, understand what I mean. That's right, a man will wander in the dimension of nothingness for the rest of his life. How many years will it be before his soul disappears?　100 years, 200 years?　No, I will not listen to that. The body and soul that have gone to another dimension will transcend reason and live for a thousand years!

　The demoness stares at Von Busk with eyes that are beyond hatred.

　But she holds back.
　She understands that if she confronts them here, they will kill her and her baby.
　The demoness was probably frustrated and sad, and blood was coming out of her bitten teeth.

''Why...!　I fell in love with that man. Wasn't that enough for you?　Are you bothering anyone?　What the hell did I do wrong?
I'd be even more stupid if I didn't understand that.

　Once again, Von Bask invoked his magic.
　This time the demoness began to suffer.

This time the demoness began to suffer. Because you think so naively, you can't understand true happiness.
'Oh, you'll never know how much I miss you, demon god.

　With all the strength she could muster, the woman of the demon race challenged her.
　In response, Von Busk sighed in dismay.

''Very well. She's quite an interesting woman to talk to me like that. I'll send her to the place with her husband as a present!　Wander for a thousand years in the dimension of nothingness!

　As Von Bask said this, the woman's body also disappeared.

''Eeeeeeee!''

　Only the baby was left on the ground.
　A loud crying sounded.

　Von Bask approached it.

Kak Kakka. No wonder I'm going to kill you right here. But ... you, like your parents, will be given a reality that is more painful than death.

　Von Bask puts his hand on the baby's head.
　He's casting a memory-sealing spell.

"You're half demon, half human. "You're half demon, half human. You're not welcomed by the human race, and the humans wouldn't welcome you with open arms. But that doesn't mean demons can't join in. Their appearance and the wavelength of their magic power are the same as humans themselves.

　Kakka-kaka--!
　Von Bask's deafening laughter.

　And so the baby ... Avril lost her parents at an early age and was left to live alone.
　He didn't even have the memory of his parents, and he was alone on a lonely road.

　◆ ◆ ◆

'Ohhhh!'

　As soon as the video ended, Avril crouched down with her head in her hands.

''Wow, am I a demon race?　No, not even the demon race ... not even human ... father, mother ...
Kak Kakka!　Yes!　I needed to see that face!　That's why I didn't kill you!

　Von Bask looked down at her and smiled pleasantly.

'Oh, why did you kill my parents!　You didn't have to kill anything. Was I that much of a distraction to you as an abomination?
Yes. But the reason doesn't matter now.
What does it matter?

　Avril immediately tries to pounce on Von Bask in anger.

　But he can't do that.
　Averill himself knows he can't defeat von Busk alone.
　Hence, he grits his teeth and endures it gingerly.

I only drove your parents into the dimension because I was bored, waiting for a thousand years for a heretic to kill me. Your parents gave me a good show. Remembering that scream still makes me feel great.
d*mn it...!

　Von Bask wore an expression of amusement.
　On the other hand, Avril's expression was blotched with frustration.

　Avril was born special.
　Von Bask, in his selfishness, had driven her parents into another dimension.
　A person removed from another dimension and reason would wander in an empty space for a thousand years.
　It was as if I could feel Avril's pain.

　But I saw such a scene.


"Von Bask, you are still a fool. Such a trifle!


　Snapping his fingers.
　Fire Spear reappeared and headed for Von Bask.

'It's useless, it's useless!　Protected by the sanctuary, no such lower level magic can pass me by!　

　Doggone it!

　But the spear of fire slipped through the wards and pierced VonBusk's stomach.

''No matter how low grade magic is, I can at least get through the wards you've created, right?
Ahhhhhh!

　My body was burned and Von Bask staggered back.

　I took the opportunity to walk up to Avril and hug her small body.

'Well don't touch me I'm half demon race. You will abhor me too...?
What about it?
What?

　In my chest, Averill turns his teary eyes to me.

"It doesn't matter to me if Averill is a demon or a human. I................................I like Averill himself.

　With Avril in his arms, he distanced himself from Von Bask.
　Then he lowered her to the ground and continued

'And ... don't worry, Avril, don't worry. Your parents are still alive.
And yet ... in a dimension we don't even know where it is?
'Don't know where it is?　Why do you assume that. Who do you think is in front of Averill?

　It's just his luck that Von Busk went out of his way to show me some of his past footage earlier.

The whereabouts of Averill's parents stopped. If Averill wanted to, he could see them again.
Oh, is that true?
Yeah.

　He nodded.

　As he does so, Von Busk's body regenerates.
　Only the life force is still as strong as ever. Can't we still defeat it at this level?

''But ... before we can have an emotional reunion with our parents, we have to eliminate that noisy guy first.
I won't forgive you, I won't forgive you.

　Gradually, the flames that had enveloped Von Bask disappeared.

　With a devilish appearance, he approached us step by step.
　Its appearance is more of a Grim Reaper than a Demon God.
　It's a stupid ghost that has lost its mind, possessed by a desire for revenge against me.

''Now let's end this tragedy.
