The important thing is the image.

　The strongest and most powerful magic power in the Demon King of all time floods inside me.
　I don't just unleash it, I converge it.

　It's as if I'm controlling this enormous energy that's about to burst out of control.
　It is reined in and gathered to a point.

　The technique I learned during my training with Judas and have been refining ever since.

　My own unique technique.

"Slash and pop!

　The moment my image becomes extremely clear, it appears.
　A dark purple sword clad in lightning.

　The name of the sword...

'Convergence-type Vanity Blade!

　The flash of light that he wielded tore through dozens of heavenly weapons in the front row together with the entire Judas light cage.

　But there are still some remaining enemies.
　There are probably more than two hundred of them surviving outside the range of the slashing wave I unleashed.

　I have to wipe them all out within one minute, which is the holding time of the light cage.
　Then.

Grow!

　I put all the magic I could into the blade.
　A new image is given to the sword.

　V.........n!

　The sword of the void rang out.

　The black and purple sword blade extended all at once.
　It cut off both sides of the heavenly weapons from one side to the other, tearing through space itself as well.

　The blade that cuts through and destroys everything stretches out endlessly.

　Even beyond the horizon....

"Fuuuuuck!

　After a while, all the Heavenly Army weapons were cut in half and were silent.

''Heh, this is amazing...!''

　Judah whistled.

'This isn't just cutting magic. A wide-area explosive type of super high-powered magic condensed into the form of a sword and then released locally...? It's a little bit like the magic I'm studying.
Well, it's a technique I perfected from what you taught me in the future.

　I grinned.

'Oh, I knew it,'
I appreciate it, Judas.
"No, we are the ones to thank. You have done well to defeat the enemies of my demon world.

　And Wölfer.

''As the King over all of the demon world, I'd like to thank you for this.
From me. Thank you, Mr. Freed...............

　Judah says and yawns.

''I've consumed a lot of magic and I'm getting sleepy. I'm going to go to sleep for a bit.''
Oh, hey...?
It's okay. There's no sign of the enemy anymore.

　As soon as he says it, Judas leaves.
　He's still going at his own pace.

Totally....

　Wölfer chuckled.

　His figure went from a three-sided, six-armed figure back to a normal humanoid form.
　He must have deactivated his combat mode.

'Well, it's true that that guy saved my life. And... I guess we won the first battle.
Yeah.

　I nod at a satisfied Wölfer's words.

　But...
　Is it really, is this a good thing?

　I've deviated from the best path that Stella foresaw the future and led me down.

"You're still amazing, you are.
Wiping out all those people.

　The demon chiefs are coming.
　It seems that all four of them are safe.

　I'm relieved to hear that, and then I think to myself, even if the future is not in my favor.

　I'm not going to be able to get the best out of it.
　I'm still glad that I was able to protect them──and I'm still glad that I was able to protect them.



　It seems that there is no reinforcement from the heavenly army for now.
　The brave men also ran away when they saw that the heavenly weapons were annihilated.

　I said no to Velfer and returned to my first post.

''Demon King-sama!''

　Stella was the first to run up to me.

'Thank God you're safe.'
I'm sorry. I went against your advice.
What do you mean?

　Stella smiled.

"As long as you're safe, that's all I have to do...
Thank you.

　I stare at Stella.
　Her face was red and uptight.

'It's kind of a chirpy vibe,'

　Olivier looked at us in equal measure.


'Ichara-Bu...?　Moe...?　I don't understand....

　And Regal was growling.
