I rode the Underworld Dragon (Bell) and arrived at the Demon King's Castle.

　It seems that the area in front of the main gate has become a battlefield.

　The enemy is──only one person.
　It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.

"That guy...

　When one saw it up close, one could see the tremendousness of its divine Qi.
　Probably just the amount of divine qi is on the same level as the Heavenly Army's most powerful weapon, the King of Light, that we faced before.
　No........maybe even more.

　The opposing Demon Army had surrounded it from afar.
　They took a certain amount of space and fought mainly with long-range attacks such as magic and bows.
　The commander must have decided that if it was a close fight, they would be killed instantly.

　The one who is in command of that seems to be Stella.
　I can see Feria and Olivier at her side.

　I dismounted from the bell and landed at her side, controlling my flying magic.

''Demon King-sama...!

　Stella looked at me and looked relieved.

'Thank you for coming,'
You are the one who has been leading our army. I thank you.
Oh no, I didn't do anything about it.
'What are you talking about? The morale of the army is high, even against a strong enemy. It's proof that you've inspired everyone to hold on. Proud of yourself, Stella.

　He put his hand on Stella's shoulder.

'You saved me again,'
Demon King....

　Stella's cheeks were red and upturned.

'I'll help you guys from here. The first thing that comes to mind is that Stella will continue to lead the army. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this.
Ha!

　The voices of the three demon army chiefs chanted.

'What happened to Zegert and Tsukuyomi?'
Tsukuyomi was destroyed and Zegert is nowhere to be found.

　Stella reports.

　That was more than a little shocking to report, but I swallow it quickly now.

''........Okay. Then, the three demon army chiefs will take care of the army. I'll be...

　He turned his back on Stella and the others and faced Liavert.

'We'll hold him down,'



The ruler of evil Demon King. I will defeat you and bring peace to the world.

　The knight in full body armor caused the rainbow-colored aura that covered his body to flare up like a flame.

''........One of the Four Heavenly Holy Swords (Sacred Edge), Liavert?''

　When I was human, the only Four Heavenly Holy Swords I had ever met was the man in front of me.

　A warrior specializing in superhuman ramming power and stubbornness.
　He always wore full body armor and never even revealed his true face, his identity was shrouded in mystery.

　Well, whatever this guy's true identity is, we'll just have to defeat him.

　In order to protect the demon race.

Blow it up...

　I'm not going to be able to get my hands on any of them.

　With the demon king's magical power, even the lowest-grade spells are capable of wiping out a mountain.
　It's important to emphasize the number of moves rather than the grade of the spell.

　The other party is not ordinary, but they will not be able to surpass this many easily.
　You have to be able to find out if you are able to get past them, that's how you can understand his fighting ability.

　But...

Warm.

　Liavert was charging forward unperturbed.

　I didn't intercept him or defend myself.
　At the point where I touched or didn't touch him, all of my attack spells were erased.

　What is this.....

　In the blink of an eye, Liavert was close to my interval.
　That's the rush power as expected.

''Lucifer's Shield!''

　I quickly create a protective barrier.

"Hmph!

　I didn't bother to swing it, but Liavelt's hammer shattered my barrier.

"Kukka!

　While back-stepping, I'm checking the spell by hitting it wildly.

''Mm.........''

　The bombardment stopped me in my tracks, and Reavert was unable to pursue me.

　In the meantime, I'm out of range again.
　I got out of it for now...

This thing has an abnormally high offensive and defensive power........!

　It's clearly beyond the human level.
　No, it's too far beyond.

''My power was given to me by God to defeat the Demon King, Da!　By the power of the ancient gods, who have slept since the beginning of time, I will kill you now!

　The heroic knight turns his rainbow-colored aura into an erupting force and rushes forward with explosive speed.
　The hammer swung down shatters the atmosphere, spreading shockwaves and approaching me.

''Convergence-type, Slash of the Void (Vanity Blade)!

　I produced a sword that converged all the magical power I could find and received it.

　The power is evenly matched.

　The rainbow colors of his Miracle Armor and the emptiness of my sword collide and rebound powerfully.
　His attack can't reach me, but instead, his deadly magic sword can't cut through his Miracle Armor.

　I was flung wide and jumped back.

"Shatter away, demon king!

　In contrast, Reavert doesn't back down and rushes in for more.

d*mn it...!

　You can take each blow with the sword of emptiness, or you can use magic to keep it in check and keep it at a distance.

　My magic didn't reach the guy at all.
　It's still not going to be able to pass through with a half-hearted attack.

　So then...

"'Feather Air'!

　I cast a flying spell and leapt up into the air.

''Don't let me get away!''

　Liavert leaps after it.
　The rainbow-colored wings sprouting from his back flap, and he flies through the air faster than I can.

　Before long, he catches up with me and...

There is nowhere to run, demon king!
Running away?　Wrong.

　I laughed under my mask.

'I let it catch up to me.'

　Yes, this is the goal.

　If we can lure them into the air, we can shoot the greatest amount of magic without worrying about the damage on the ground...

"Blast away, go away brave!

　I stuck out my right hand towards Liavert.

''Breakthrough Thunder (Mega Thunder)!

　The outpouring of golden lightning splits into a dozen strands, entangling the rear veldt in the air.
　The flashes of lightning burst and illuminate the magic world covered by the darkness like midday.

　And then──...

It's useless. The power of God is inviolable.

　Every bolt of lightning bursts just before it touches him!

　Does this guy even play superlative magic?

　No, no.
　I think back to the scene just before.

　The ten-odd lightning bolts disappeared before they could touch Liavelt.

"No way...

　Is my magic itself not reaching you at all?

　It's not defense.

　It's something else.
