Master Freed, please don't lose.

　Stella watched the Demon King's battle with a prayerful heart.

　A masked demon king clad in black robes and a knight in full body armor covered in rainbow colored divine air (aura).
　The tremendous intimidation they emit from each other clashes, even creating a physical wind pressure that rages around them.

　The battle between the two sides has begun.

　The black magic bullets released by the demon king and the rainbow-colored barrage of blows from the heroes clashed.
　The atmosphere trembled violently just from the aftermath of the attack.

　The one pushing was Reavert.

　Freed's attacks are not damaging at all.
　No, in the first place, the magic itself disappeared just before it hit Reavert and its power didn't reach him.

''What was that...?''

　Stella's eyes widened in surprise.

''It's not defense. Disabling.........?''

　The power caused by the demon is completely nullified.
　This is truly the realm of God himself.

　I'm not going to be able to do anything with that thing, no matter how powerful the Demon King Freed is, who is the most powerful of all time.

　Even the ultimate offensive power - if it doesn't reach the opponent, it's useless.

''Divine Bursting Guide Sacred Bullet [Aurabast Bullet]!

　The rainbow glow that covered Learvelt's entire body exploded out.
　That radiance turned into countless arrows and rained down.

''Lucifer's Shield!''

　The jet-black magic barrier that was deployed was easily shattered.

Ugh..........!

　A group of light arrows pierced the Demon King's body.
　Fresh blood gushed out of the perforated robe.

''Master Freed!''

　Stella screamed in grief.

　It was the first time she had seen the Demon King pushed to this extent.
　Even in that battle against the "King of Light", Fried was overwhelmed.

"Against a single brave man, to this extent...

　Stella bites her lip and groans.

　I want to help.
　The urge to swell up is breaking my heart.

　My forehead heats up.
　The blood in my body is boiling.

I........want to fight for Master Freed........!



　I wish I had the strength to do it.



　I wish.

　With a burning desire.
　Earnestly.

　Wanted.

　To protect.
　To help us.

　And then - I thought.

　I have to love him.

That's why I'm begging you... to help me!

　Stella exclaims.

　There was a feeling inside me that something was being released.

　A power that had been sealed away from her mother when she was a child in the distant past.
　Losing the love from her mother, abhorred, shunned, and sealed away.

　That power.

'Just this one time!　Wake up and find out what I can do.

　The third eye that opened on his forehead was hot as a flame.

　　　　*

　Strong...
　I groaned inwardly.

　Objectively speaking........if it were a simple offensive or defensive ability, I would be far superior to you.

　But Liavert's strength was completely different from that.

　In a word, 'rejection power'.
　My every attack can't reach him.

　Nor is it defense.
　It's not evasion.
　It's not physics.
　It's not magic.

　That rainbow-colored divine spirit (aura) - that mysterious field - nullifies all of my magical attacks.

　Or is this the power of a god?

　As it is now, no matter how I try, I can't give Liavert a decisive blow.
　No, I can't even give him a single scratch.

　We need a plan to break through his 'rejection'.

''Master Freed!''

　I turned at the sound of Stella's voice.
　A beautiful girl in a black outfit, her long silver hair fluttering in the wind, walked up to her.

　What is this──!

　A shiver ran through his entire body.

　It was a different sensation than when I faced God or when I faced the demon.
　A chill bubbled up endlessly from inside his body.

　Such a sensation blew from Stella.

''........It's okay, Freed-sama.

　She gave a gentle smile.

　The eyes that opened on her forehead──.
　A crimson, bird-like pattern floats in the air.

　It's different from the usual 'Third Eye'!

''Demon Lord, his divine Qi has a 'wave' to it.
Wave?
"An immense amount of energy is being cut off for a moment and then flooding out again - a cycle that repeats itself. Perhaps it's impossible to maintain such a large amount of divine energy at all times.
Oh, I see, you have to 'rest' from time to time.
Perhaps.

　Stella nods at my words.

'Your resting cycle is irregular, but your resting time is always 2.079012 seconds.
About two seconds...

　I bit my lips under my mask.
　If the timing is constant, it's easy to aim, but if I'm going to shoot a magic with the power of a kill in two seconds that could come at any moment, it's not easy.

I'll see to the timing.

　Stella looked straight at me.

'I won't let you die. Never.
Stella....?

　A supple hand removes my mask.
　Stella, who stretched out as it was, put her own lips on mine.

"My darling, I want you to...

'Stella...?'

　I stare at her, stunned.
　With an uplifted face, she's also staring at me.

　Our gazes are intertwined, and then...

No matter what you do, the evil one can't defeat me!

　The rainbow aura that covered Liavert's body flared up even more.

　I turned my consciousness back to my enemy.

'What I have gained is the power Da, which was taken away by the demons in the old battle. Now that I've regained it, God's power is shining through the world. The heavens, the demon world, and the world of men - all of them!　And then we'll destroy it all!　It's all wo!　Everything!

　The sky of the demon world is about to be burned to the ground, and the dark world is dyed with a dazzling brilliance.

　It's truly the authority of God.

　But this is the darkness for me.
　This is the darkness that destroys my friends - the darkness that destroys the demons.

　Then I'll make that thing disappear...!

We're gonna take him down. Help us, Stella.

　I took the mask from her and put it back on.

'Your, follow your heart.'

　Stella smiles.

　The pattern of a bird in the third eye on her forehead changed shape as she flapped her wings wide.
