61 9 Slashing the void




"'Fire'!

 The pea-sized fireball I fired flew to far away.

 After a while, a small flash of light popped.

 The explosion sounded quite late.
 It felt like it flew tens or hundreds ... or even thousands of kilometers away and then exploded there.

'How big is this space, how big is this space........'

 I raise an eyebrow lightly.

 If the place is separated by some kind of wall, it's easy to break it down and escape.
 But how do I escape from this vast space, just to get out of it?

Let's try mega magic at full power.

 I've seen the space itself destroyed before when I used 'Mega Fire' in my magic training.
 If you do the same procedure, you can probably break this space and escape.
 However....

It's just that it's too powerful...

 There's no guarantee that the destruction won't reach the outside world.

 No, wait.
 There's another way to use the magic we have.

Let's... let's give it a try.

 The demon slash that I learned during my training with Judas the other day.

 

 At that moment, a shocking sound could be heard in the distance.

''Judas and Feria are fighting...?''

 They are both powerful demons.
 An ordinary opponent wouldn't even stand a chance.

 However, the opponent is a divine weapon that is touted as the strongest.
 They may be struggling, or they may be cornered.

I have to get there as soon as possible.

 He stuck out his right hand.

It's an image.

 Myself, I tell myself.

 That trick you learned in your training with Judas.

 More vividly.
 More vividly.

 A magical heat like a flame lit up my whole body.
 The image of it converging in my right hand.

 The thing that came to mind was the sword.

 I couldn't prevent it from happening.
 It cannot be blocked.

 The magic sword that cuts off everything.

 The name is...



The Convergence Type Vanishing Blade.



 In my right hand, a sword made of magical power was born.

 It is a black and purple sword covered in crimson lightning.
 Although the color is different, the shape is similar to the Miracle Armor Gram that I used as my main weapon when I was a hero.

 In the next moment, a black and purple line appeared in front of me.

 The trajectory of the flash I wielded.

 In the next moment, the different space was cut in two and I returned to my original location.

"Demon king...?

 Right next to me was a startled looking Judas.
 I've been in the middle of a battle, it seems, and his whole body is bleeding.

"Are you okay, Judas?
I'm a little banged up.

 Judah smiles bitterly.

''Well no, it looks like you're a little more than injured.

 There was a jade-colored monster bird in the sky above us.
 It flapped its six wings and looked down on us.

''Is that also the Heavenly Soul High King (Divine Gear)?''
'The King of the Wind'.

 Judas answers my question.

"You'll be resting. We'll take turns.
So I'll take you up on your offer.

 Judah smiles and retreats.

"...Judah.

 I called out to his back.

"Hmm?
I'm proud of you.

 I noticed.

 I noticed that Felia and the demons were behind Judas.
 Perhaps he was badly wounded defending them.

'You did a good job protecting everyone. I thank you.
I'm the chief of the demon army, after all.

 With his back turned, Judah murmurs.

 I can't see her expression from here.
 But I thought I could see Judah smiling at me.

"I'll take care of the rest.

 Now it's my turn to repay them.

 As the king who unites the demon tribe...



 I used my flying magic to fly up and face the jade-colored giant bird.
 Since I'm not as skilled in flying magic as Judas, my foothold is wobbly.

 Nevertheless, if they fought on the ground, there was a chance that the other demonic races would get caught up in the collateral damage.
 Even if you're not good at it, it's better to challenge them to an aerial battle.

"You're second in line, Demon King.
I'm not second best.

 I look at the Wind King.

'I am the last. You will be destroyed here.
''Indeed, your magic power is powerful. But it looks like you've exhausted a reasonable amount of magical power in order to escape the different space.

 The Wind King growls.

"Now I have a chance to win, too. "Come and get it...

 A green glowing tornado appeared.
 Perhaps it was a 'Mega Wind' class wind attribute magic.

 I'm not going to be the only one.
 I'm not going to be able to get away from them.

''There is no escape, Demon King!

 The Wind King was triumphant.

'Escape? No need.

 All of the approaching wind magic - all of it disappeared in an instant.

''What...?''

 The Wind King who let out a stunned voice.

 In my hand, there was a sword of magic power that shone black and purple.
 All six tornadoes were cut down, the sword.

''Thanks to that, it was a good training ground.

 He announced, and wielded the sword - "Convergence Type, Void Slash (Vanity Blade)".

 A flash.

 A black trail ran in a straight line.
 The space on the trajectory was split open and a crimson lightning bolt flashed.

"Wha........?

 All he could do was let out a voice that could not be described as a slight cry of agony or a scream.

 The next moment, there was no sound, not even a struggle.
 The most popularly acclaimed divine weapon was cut off by the magical sword I brought down on it.



 I landed on the ground and walked up to Judah.
 The purple robe was torn in many places and was stained with blood.

"How are you hurt, Judas?
I have a recovery spell on him, but he's not healing fast enough.

 And Judas.

''When the demon race is attacked by a holy attribute, it slows down the healing process.
Really?
''In case you're wondering, so are you. In a battle against the Heavenly Army or the Brave Army, recovery magic won't be that effective.

 Judah tells him.

'Your offensive abilities are immense, but don't let your guard down. If you get hurt badly, you won't heal easily.'
I'll keep that in mind.
Yeah, well, the next time you're in a fight, you better watch your back.

 And Judas.

'The next enemy?'
"I can feel the strong magic in the Demon King's Castle. It's probably the last one of the Heavenly Visionary High King - the Water King. This sign is probably engaged with him as an undead.
Regal?
It seems to me that the attack on the castle while you were away... was a diversion.

 Judah murmured.

''Or, the 'thing' in the basement of the castle is the target. If that's the case, it's possible that the three of them will use that form...''

 Hmm, what does that mean?
 No, questions later.

I'm coming back.

 I called out to all of them.

 I've left Stella and Regal at the Demon King's Castle, and Belle is also there.
 Nevertheless, the Tensou High King is a formidable foe.

 We have to return quickly and join forces with him.
