Let's go!　Demon Baron!

　I run towards Baron. But Baron doesn't move from his throne with a smirk on his face.

'Hmm, try moving me from here first.

　I don't like it. If that's what you want, I'll feel free to do it.

"Lightning Spear, 100 Rows!

　I shoot a series of spears of lightning at Baron. Even though Baron sees this, he doesn't show any signs of avoiding it, but only waves his arms vertically from bottom to top.

　Then a black object appears from the ground. A sludgy, humanoid nanika. It resembles the demon soldiers that flooded out of the room where Zeke and the others remained, but the atmosphere is different from that one. There are five of them.

Doppelganger. Go.

　At Baron's direction, I changed my hands to various weapons and struck down a spear of lightning. He continued to attack me. You want me to defeat these guys first?

　But even so, these guys have too much freedom with their weapons. Swords and spears and war hammer, bows and arrows and two-handed scythes... Praying mantis!　But I don't have time to worry about that!

Move!　Lightning vortex weapon grant!　The Thunderbolt Annihilation Spear!

　He avoids the doppelganger swinging his sword at him, and hits him with a thunderous annihilation spear, which is increased in power by Galadurg's effect. The doppelganger tries to block it with his sword, but the whole sword pierces it.

　The doppelganger fires an arrow from behind it. I'm sure he meant to take advantage of the gap, but he already knows with his foresight.

　I don't turn around, I crouch down to avoid it and use spatial magic, warp. It's a short-range spatial magic that allows me to move within my field of vision. I fly behind my bow doppelganger and my neck?　He thrusts his Galadorg into what appears to be a

　I turn my body away from the spear from the side to avoid it and swing the war hammer down from above. I jump back to avoid it, but the doppelganger of the war hammer swings straight down. And the bow doppelganger that gets caught up. The spear doppelganger dodges it as well as I do, though.

　And from in front of me, a doppelganger with both hands turned into a scythe. I crouched down to avoid the left scythe cutting at me, and ducked the right scythe that was cutting up from underneath me with a bacchanal. This guy seems to move better than the other doppelgangers.

　The doppelgangers of both scythes give even more of a chase. I'm sure you'll find doppelgangers with war hammer and spear at my sides. d*mn, I can't leave these guys alone!

'Shut up!　Light Heavenly Cloak!

　A glowing cloak appears on my back, and at once I head for the war hammer and spear doppelganger. The doppelganger of the hammer of war sticks to catch it, and the doppelganger of the spear tries to avoid the cloak, but of course I won't let him do that.

　It hits the war hammer and the doppelganger tries to hold on, but it can't hold on and is blown away. He continues to crush it with his cloak. I'm not going to be the only one to have to deal with the doppelganger, but I'm in control of the Koutenno cloak right now. That's why I chase after it endlessly.

　And then, unable to avoid it, the cloak catches the doppelganger's arm. As it is, the cloak wraps around the body of the spear doppelganger and slams it to the ground.

''Err!''

　The two-handed scythe doppelganger attacks me while I'm at it, but the cloak plays it all off. In the meantime, I build up my magic power in my Galadorg. As soon as the cloak catches both scythes.

"Black Thunderbolt Spear!

　The spear, clad in black lightning, pierced the doppelgangers on both scythes. The moment the spear pierces the doppelganger, black lightning gushes out into the doppelganger, burning it to the point where it is almost as bad as this.

　With the end of the doppelganger's life falling to pieces, I turn to Barron. He's still on his throne, grinning.

'How's that? Are you ready to stand?

No, we're not there yet. We're only at the starting point. Now this one. Come on, Gladiel.

　Gladiel?　Isn't Gladiel supposed to be the one left in the previous room with the master?　No way, Master!

　While I was thinking this, a jet black magic circle appeared in front of me. And what came out of it was a single great sword. Is that Gladiel?　It's just a sword.　But the next moment.

　gyroscope

　And then his eyes opened at the great sword's peak. Hey, what was that?　Baron summoned the doppelganger again and let it hold the great sword, and magic power blasted out of the great sword and went to haunt the doppelganger. The one who emerged from it was a demon king in jet black armor.

　Alexia's Point of View

Shall we go?

　Azel, the man with the monocle standing in front of me. I regrip my grip on the twin bells to make sure I feel them.

　Azel runs towards me. Fast!　Ray told me beforehand, but as I recall, that knife won't hurt you when it cuts you, but it will only cause you pain. I have to be careful.

　Azel doesn't hesitate to go for my neck. I turn my body away to avoid it, but he cuts at me with the knife in his other hand. I catch it with the twin bells in my right hand and jump backwards as it happens. At the same time.

Watercutter!

　Activate the water magic. It should be at least a check. That's what I thought, but Azel just went ahead and cut me with his knife.

''That's sweet. You won't be able to stop me to that extent!''

　d*mn, I catch Azel's knife with the twin bells, but he pushes me down a bit. And the knife snatches my shoulder. That moment.

Ouch!

　The pain runs through my shoulder. I don't feel the cut, just the pain in my body. It's really nasty!

　But I can't lose either. While receiving the knife, I unleash my water magic, Water Bullet. Naturally, this level of magic won't work on Azel. He'll just get cut by the knife. But in the meantime, I'm going to approach Azel.

　 Azel doesn't seem to be in a hurry to take it, but I turn the left twin bell cut into a thrust and release it.

　Azel slashes at me as I warp with my left knife. I crouch down to avoid it and swipe my foot away. Azell leaps and avoids it with both twin bells!

　But I used the twin bells as a foothold to avoid them. How nimble you are!

Well, that's just the beginning.

　Azel smirks at me. That smile annoys me.
