I Favor the Villainess

"... it's totally nasty..."

The demon king stood up and dropped dust on the robe.

The Magic Barrier was gone, but the damage inflicted on the Demon King himself didn't seem so great.

The demon king stared at us and went on.

"You're not worried about winning by breaking the magic barrier, are you?I still have plenty of room... "

Lily!

"Ha, yes!"



At the meeting, Lily chanted the magic.

It is the magic of time that once afflicted us.

"Time, magic? I see. That's the wisdom of time."

I can see that the Demon King's time has stagnated and the magic extracted has decreased.

No matter how much extra-standard magic there is, there is no point if it is not supplied.

The magic of the Demon King, which was so close to losing his knee just by comparison, was greatly reduced.

Still, it's amazing enough, but this will still be a fight.

But there's one thing I care about.

I glanced at the entrance to the Imperial Castle.

Master Rod, May, and the Ares seem to be exhausted and incapacitated.

A visual distance from the three.

I can't stand the aftermath of the battle against the demon king or the bullets.

"We don't waste time targeting dropouts and the incapacitated."

The demon king said as if he had read my heart.

"Is it worth it as a hostage?"

"Yeah, I don't shoot wasted bullets.I will use it to defeat you all. "

This is nothing but warmth.

He says he'll kill us with all his might.

"I think that whatever you do is futile.Well, please do your best so that there is no remnant of your heart. "

That said, the demon king raised his right hand to scratch.

The fog begins to drift around.

Claire!

Yeah!

Claire evaporated before the fog froze and turned the area into ice.

"I saw Judecka before.No matter how much you're dealing with, it won't work. "

"... speaking of which, did that happen?At that time, I was weak. "

"I'm still weak. Because it's not much weaker now?"

Really?

"Ray's at least being honest.You are distorted now.Is that what you lose! "

Claire barked loudly and in an instant she shook her sword at a distance from the Demon King.

The distance of the boyfriend is about twenty meters.

It is impossible for Claire to pack herself at this speed.

This is achieved by Manaria-sama's wind magic boost.

"You think a simple attack like that would work?"

The demon king tried to control it with one hand.

But...

I think so.

The voice was heard from behind the demon king.

It seemed that Claire, who was in front of the Demon King, was being obliterated, while Claire, who was behind, was waving her sword down to the Demon King.

"Phantom?"

"... that's not going to be easy."

The Demon King prevented Claire from slashing by creating a rock barrier without looking behind him.

Apparently, that phantom is also Manaria-sama's cover.

The Demon King pointed his right forearm upwards.

"Kh...!"

The blade of rock that had been cut from the ground protruded and approached Claire to follow him.

Claire had to retreat.

"Onee-sama, Lily, the three of us will be in the vanguard!"

"Ha, yes!"

Got it!

"Ray, you got to get out of there!"

Got it!

Form Claire into the Command Tower.

Claire kept avoiding the rock blade while retreating, and Lily and Manaria-sama slashed the Demon King from both sides at the same time.

Three blades attacked the Demon King: Lily's double dagger and Manaria's dagger.

Hmm.

On the verge of the two swords reaching the Demon King, a massive explosion broke out around him.

I couldn't stand it and Lily and Manaria backed off.

The method of claim 1, further comprising:

How about this?

A tornado with an ice blade was thrown at them from the Demon King.

Both try to dodge it.

But...

More like this

The ground beneath Lily and Manaria's feet froze.

Now they can't move as slippery as they think.

Soil change!

I created a normal soil ground on a frozen ground.

Two people avoided a tornado in one hair.

Not yet!

Seeing that the demon king's attention came from him, Claire slashed him from behind.

I was thrilled that it was a sharp but too honest approach.

However, there is Mr. Shizuishi Claire.

Flame Lance!

Just three steps away from the demon king, Claire threw a flame spear.

Such elementary magic cannot be effective against the Magic King.

But she's after something else.



The flame spear pierced the Demon King's feet and raised the smoke.

Smoke robs the Devil of his sight.

"Now, onee-sama, Lily!"

In response to Claire's voice, this time slash from three directions.

I thought you might have caught it this time.

"Sweet."

A chunk of compressed air hits the three before the words arrive.

They all twisted to meet, but the invisible hammer seemed difficult to avoid altogether.

"Hah... hah... hah...!"

"When, it's strong....!"

"That's right... there's only one way to name the Demon King..."

Three people are severely depleted.

When it comes to the demon king, there are no wounds other than those caused by the rare ones.

Heel!

I cast the magic of healing on Claire and the others.

Now we're back in the swing again.

But I can't see the way forward.

Since the Demon King is on the defense side, you can also see that we are pushing it, but in fact, it has never been hit effectively.

All of our attacks have been destroyed.

I don't seem to use the sword just because I'm the other one, but magic alone is stronger than enough.

To see the kind of magic he's been using, he's not much of a dual caster.

Probably the same quadcaster as Manaria-sama and May, and it's all better than high aptitude.

Above all, the trouble is that the Demon King doesn't sing anything like that.

When you become a Magic Master, it becomes normal to recognize the magic effects from trigger phrases and chants.

For example, even the seven characters of Claire's favorite Flame Lance are magical fights between veterans that can easily come up with a way to counter the flames at the time of Fre.

But it doesn't make any sense to the Demon King.

The magic is too high, so you can feel and understand the increase in magic just moments before activation, but that's all.

This is too unfavourable.

Do you still want to do it?

"Of course, I will defeat you."

"Excellent heart, Claire. You will soon realize that it will not come true."

Say whatever you want.

Well, let's stop watching and let me really go.



An upset ran between us.

You don't think I meant it yet?

Is it strong?

"No, Ray. Look under the Demon King's feet."



Claire told me that only the Demon King's feet remained clean in the wounded floor after the battle.

"Brr...."

"Well, the Demon King hasn't moved a step from there yet...!"

Lily's screams were ours as they were.

"It's our turn. Can you take this, Lily, Manaria?"

So the demon king waved his arms, and the pillars of black light stretched toward them.

This is....!

Aaah!?

"Gu...!?"

In a hurry, I deployed the tungsten carbide barrier in front of the two, but the shock blew them out behind.

"How powerful... Besides, that magic...!"

"Yes, it's the magic I used when I was with Lana.I used a latte at that time. "

Dark magic without any attributes of earth, water or wind.

What is this...?

"Dark attributes are magic. It can only be dealt with by demons, but it has a lot of very powerful attack magic."

For example, the demon king waved his arm horizontally again.

Three pieces like the black blade of the moon type hit me.

"I won't let you!"

As soon as she regained her position from the Dark Pillar, Lily stood in front of me and tried to cut it off.

However,

Ah, that?



The black blade was bypassed to avoid Lily and killed me as it was.

"Kh...!"

I built a scaffold with the magic of lift-up and split it up.

"Not yet, Ray!"

Manaria-sama's sharp warning.

Looking back, the black blade turned and followed me.

"What a mess!"

I beat the ice and dirt arrows and managed to extinguish them.

"First I want you to leave, Ray-Taylor."

There were countless black blades before the Demon King.

All of them will kill me.

"You're kidding!"

I smashed the magic of ice and earth into the rain, but some of the black blades came through them and attacked.

It's not good.

"If you finish the main unit...!"

Manaria slashes the Demon King, but the Demon King grasps it with one hand.

"I thought you would come, Manaria.Do you like him that much? "

"Even if you like it. That's why I can't stand to see you right now!"

"That's sad. I can't stand to see you upset by someone like that."

That said, the demon king shook up the sword with one hand and threw it at Lily, who was secretly trying to approach him from the other side.

"Wow, wow!?"

"Don't take it, Lily! Dodge!"

Lily won't be able to stop Manaria in time.

The pillars of darkness fall upon it.

Aaah!?

"Gu...!"

As I watched the two of them being blown away, I was full of correspondence with the black blade.

Until the magic is activated, the Demon King has nothing like it.

They shoot magic with almost no motion.

Besides, I can't even prefetch it with an activation phrase or a chant, so I feel it even faster.

"Lily, it's getting late for the Devil King!"

"I'm sure it's working!"

"So this magic and the speed of response is against the rules."

Even if you rot, you mean the Demon King?

Why aren't you targeting me?

Claire asked the Demon King with his sword in his hand.

From the eyes, I could see that there was dissatisfaction with being handicapped by myself.

"I told you. I can't let you kill me."

"There are no more three great demons.You're not the only one who can help. "

"Really? I think there's still a way."

……

That said, the Demon King once again produced and released a black blade.

This time, it will also attack Lily and Manaria.

"Stop it!"

"You can stop at any time.If you die. "

――

Is that so?

"Demon King... you..."

"What do you want, Claire?Are you watching them die like this? "

……

The Demon King said to Claire:

--If you want to help these people, try to hurt yourself.
