I was riding the Underworld Dragon (Bell) and flying all the way to Jiregga City.
　On the way.

I'm getting a very strong aura, Mr. Freed.

　Bell said.

'Divinity?'
They may be brave, but they're like an angelic class of people - very powerful people.
Where is it?
Just a little further. Around the Grudge Mountain Range.

　Belle answers my question.

'Do you want to go?'
Please.

　After going through the skies for a while, Bell landed on a mountain road.
　As I recall, this was the place where Zegert's army had intercepted the heroes in the previous battle.

　Not long after, two brave men come from ahead.

''You guys........''

　All of them were female brave men.

　One was a vivacious-looking beautiful girl with her blue hair in a twin-tailed yellow ribbon.
　The other was a graceful beauty with golden hair tied up in a bun.

　One is a familiar face.
　One of the Four Heavenly Holy Swords (Sacred Edge), the strongest among the brave men.

　Ludmilla Deal.

"Demon King...
"This is...?

　The blonde girl glared at me.

Elio, you have your regrets.

　He held up his fine sword.

''The Four Heavenly Holy Swords of 'Fire' - this Fiore Quell!

　So this guy is the Four Heavenly Saints' Sword.

"This time I'm going to beat you.

　Ludmilla holds her bow next to Fiore.

''I'll never lose again!''
Yes, we will. I promise.

　A black glow rose from the two men who nodded at each other.

'Chaos form (chaos form), activation. Black Vestments (Chaos Jacket), deploy.

　With a chanting voice, the miracle armor they possessed was dyed jet-black and their appearance changed dramatically.
　Ludmira's bow changed from an X shape to a star-like shape, and Fiore's slender sword became a sword that exceeded her height.

''So this is the black miracle armor Zegart told me about...''

　I raise my eyebrows under my mask.

　When I was a human being, I fought as a brave soldier for about 20 years, but I've never seen or heard of such a transformation function in the Miracle Armor.

　And the costumes they wear.
　This one was not what Zegert had reported.

　I don't know, is it the power of a brave man that I don't know about...?

　Even though my status is the strongest Demon King of all time, I still need to be wary of unknown battle methods.
　I guess I'd better brace myself enough.



"Type 2 - Maximum Armor (Axel-Sau) Bullet Precision Fire!

　It was the arrows of light released by Ludmira that signaled the opening of the battle.

　I'm not going to be able to get the same thing done.
　Literally, the difference in the arrows of light rained down around me in a shining rain.

''Homing Meteor.''

　I created countless giant fireballs and intercepted them.
　The surrounding area is engulfed in explosive flames and explosive light.

''Type 2, Cherry Blossom Flame [Fire Flower Buster]!

　As if to cut through it, a slash of fire was approaching.
　However, it was expected that it would take advantage of our gap in coordination.

''Meteoblade!''

　I shot out flaming sword after flaming sword around me, offsetting the flaming slashes.
　The surrounding area was still surrounded by black smoke and explosions.

　Where are they?
　Where are they going to attack from──.

''Homing ray!''

　I let out my next spell with caution.
　If they can't see me, I'll use automatic tracking type magic to finish them off.

''Kyah!''

　There were two screams that echoed.

　There were explosions at the front and side respectively.
　The blast that erupted blew away the black smoke and widened my vision.

"...Did you survive?

　Neither Ludmilla nor Fiore seem to be chasing any damage that seems to be damage.

　There are a number of reddish-purple shining light shields floating around the two of them.
　That's probably what prevented the 'homing ray'.

　Or it could be the ability of the black vestments.

''It's sturdy.''
I don't want you to think that your offense and defense are the same as they were before!

　Ludmila held an X-shaped bow.
　Countless tornadoes blew up around it.

''We have become strong. Forged by the messenger of the gods to avenge our demons!''

　With a thin sword in hand, Fiore announced with dignity.
　Red lotus flames swirled around his sword.

　It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on it.

"This is──the aura,

　Me muttering.

　It is an emanation of the power of God and angels, the holy power.
　Ludmilla and Fiore, who are humans, are emitting it in a very strong way.

''I don't want you to be surprised like this, Demon King.
Our true potential is yet to be discovered.

　The two huddled back to back and shouted.

"This is our trump card... the aura burst!

　At the same time, their divine Qi exploded.

''Destroy, Demon Lord!''

　Countless tornadoes were released from Ludmila and Fiore shot out fireball after fireball.

　The atmosphere was scorched and the earth cracked.
　Space itself is screaming.

　The power is different from the previous one──!

　I stared straight at the approaching wind and flames and



"Convergence Type: Vanity Blade.



　A flash.

　And you're gonna slice through it all.

Oh, no...!

　The two brave men groaned in astonishment.

''Just as you've become stronger than then, my power has also evolved...''

　With the sword of emptiness in my hand, I quietly announce.

"Too strong...

　Ludmilla dropped to her knees with a huff.
　Probably used up all his strength earlier.

''I didn't expect it to go this far...''

　Fiore groaned with a pale face.

'I have nothing against you guys directly.

　I looked at the two brave women.

　In fact, I could sense a dignified and strong will from them.
　I'm not a depraved hero who wears authority by the hilt or covets glory and glory.
　I'm sure they're exemplary brave enough to fight for love and justice on earth.

　But even so....

In order to protect our world, in order to protect our friends, I'm going to ask a brave man to disappear.

　It was the duty of a demon king.

　I declared arrogantly.
