Kingdom of Nanor
　Ray's Point of View

　Thud!

Watch it, man!　In such a small room!

　I'm flying across the room with Alexia in my arms. Underneath, the black flame is spreading without a place to step. The cause of this is because of the demon race, the Demon King Gladiel, who is standing in that black flame without any particular change.

　I'm sure that the doppelganger summoned by Baron grabbed the great sword that suddenly appeared out of the air, but it began to wear a black mist, changed its shape, and became the Demon King Gladiel.

　Then all of a sudden, he or she swings out a sword without regard for anyone else, and the black flame attacks every time he or she swings it. When I was avoiding it, it also fired at Alexia, who was dealing with Azel, and eventually it even flew at Azel. It doesn't matter if they're friend or foe.

　Baron and Azel have also taken refuge in a safe place now, and only Gladiel is rampaging in the middle of the room. But it's hot.

Alexia, are you okay?

'Yes. Maybe it's because I signed up with Marilyn, but it's like she's lowering the temperature around my body.

　Alexia muttered in my arms.

'Tsk!　Cloak!

　He shoots a black flame at me and Alexia, who were taking refuge in the wall. I use my Koutenno cloak to prevent it, but if I don't, I'll get fatigued before I can fight Baron. With that in mind.

Gladiel, stop.

　And for some reason, Baron stopped Gladiel. Naturally, Gladiel stopped moving as well. Then he doesn't move slightly. It's like a machine. Though it doesn't exist in this world.

　At the same time as Gladiel stops, the black flame that was burning in the room also disappears. I'm not sure if that's a good idea.

What is wrong with you?

　Azel also looks at Baron with a strange look on his face. Baron meditates and shows a little thought, then opens his eyes again.

All the generals out there are dead.

　That means......

Ray!

Oh!

　You've done it, guys!　Defeating the generals means that the battle outside is over. The only thing left to do is to fight in the Fushimaden. That's what I thought.

Well, good. No change of plans.

　Baron says, without any particular expression on his face. And then he took Azel, who was next to him.

"Haha.

Nah!

　Baron's arm went through it. That bastard. His own subordinate.........

"Gufu.........your.......master......and........ ...please...

Yeah.

　Azel muttered something and fell down. Baron holds his hand over the fallen body of Azel. Then something like a black haze poured out of Baron's hand and enveloped Azel.

　And that black haze gradually became smaller and smaller, and in proportion to that, Azel's figure disappeared as well.

''Gladiel.''

　Next, Baron reached out to Gladiel, who was standing still. Gladiel was frozen upright and immobile, and the part of him that had been a doppelganger disappeared, leaving only the great sword.

''You, what the hell are you doing?''

Hmm. That's all part of the plan.

What did you say?

If the seven generals break my seal, that's the end of this world. Even if they can't, I'll get my power back that I gave to the generals and I'll break the seal. That's why I killed Azel.

　The moment Baron says that, Fushigi-dono begins to shake. Wha, what!

Alexia!

Ray!

　I hold Alexia close to me to keep her from leaving. What the hell is going on?　The earthquake gets louder and louder, and it's hard to stand. And the floor begins to crack.

　A coffin comes out of the cracks. The coffin looks nondescript on the outside, but it is quite tightly chained and even sealed with a magic circle. And Baron approaching it........no way.

You can't make me!

　I attack with Galadruk to stop Baron, but a bunch of doppelgangers appear around the coffin. Yikes!

Hickalyn!　Keraunos!

"I love you.

　I invoke the strongest magic I can use, the Thunder God's Thunderbolt. A doppelganger standing in front of me is obliterated by a circle of lightning that flies on my back.

''Baron!''

　The thunder god no thunderbolt causes Galadruk, which has been transformed from a spear to a contraption, to swing down at Baron. However, Baron blocks Galadruk with the gladiator in his left hand.

''Blast it, Black Flame No Demon King Sword.''

　Then, he activates the magic that Gladiel was using. This guy!

'It's the magic I originally gave you when I made Gladiel. There's nothing wrong with me using it!

　Then Galadruk was played and I was separated from Baron.

　Above Baron's head, the black haze that had formed from Azel earlier, five black hazes flew to Baron from outside. Could it be that........all of that haze went into Baron's body.

''Fuhahaha!　It's been a while since I've had the power. I used to give it to you to break my seal, but now that I'm back, it's no wonder you're already getting something you don't need back!

　Then I channel quite a bit of magic into Gladiel. I release lightning all the while, but Gladiel bounces me off of it.

'O Apostle of Aster, who is watching there. May I be resurrected!

　Baron said, and thrust Gladiel into the magic circle of the seal. The magic circle resisted, but it was unable to restrain Baron, who had regained all the power he had given to the seven magic generals, and the magic circle cracked and then shattered.

　Gladiel sliced through the chains as it was, exposing the coffin that had been wrapped in chains and unable to see its shape.

　

　At that moment, a magical power leaks out of the coffin. An oppressive feeling that crushes this space. Just because the container has changed, it's so different.

　The coffin began to rattle and move, and in the next moment, an arm that broke through the coffin. The coffin explodes as magic power is released from that arm. I stand to protect Alexia, but I can see it from here. That guy is in a different dimension.

　It's exactly as intimidating as when I faced off against the goddess Aster or the divine dragon. Alexia can't even stand anymore.

''Fuhahahahahahaha!　First body in 1,000 years, 1,000 years!　It took 600 years for the goddess Aster to seal me up and for my will to return, 100 years to find the seven demon generals, and to start a war, but I lost. Three hundred years from there. It was a long time. It's been a long time!　It's not a perfect resurrection yet, but now that the goddess Astel can't even move... it's over.

　The moment Baron saw me, I was blown away.
