Suddenly the marionette spreads its wings into the sky and rises.

After that, Yveam soars up into the sky with black wings from his back.

Beware of those two, Leowood and Leggles stood still.

Yveam, who had stopped in the sky, closed his eyes with his hands facing Pachin.

"Hmm? I don't know what I'm going to do, but I won't start over and over again!

Leowood leaps toward Yveaum. But the marionette stood in front of him.

"Out of the way, Marionette!

"If you want to pass, you have to cross me!

Marione flipped the cape she was wearing.

"--Black Ash!"

A black mist erupted from Marione's body, instantly dyeing the surroundings into darkness.

"It's like this!

Leoward tries to fly with the wind pressure of his fist.

"Mmm!? What the hell is this? You think I'm gonna follow you around!?

Cover your fist as if the fog were still alive. And I hear voices from nowhere.

"This darkness is me. I'm going to rob you of your movements in this dark world!

Darkness surrounding the body does not inflict pain, but one of the effects of this magic is to gradually give the subject a feeling that the body is getting heavier.

And worried about Leowood, who was still wrapped in darkness and stopped in the air, Leguls threw the Fang of Water at the darkness, but was hit.

In addition, Leguls' vision reveals Yveam, who is concentrating on releasing incredible magic from his body.

"It's my darkness that dwells in the abyss from the beginning...."

The earrings worn by Yveam and the red jewels attached to the bracelets cast a suspicious light. Apparently, it echoes Yveam's chant.

"It creates a deep and faint chaos and evokes a fragment of God's power to return to all things....."

It was then that I slowly turned my hands over the sky as I chanted and shaped my hands to grab something.

"--I won't let you!

Leowood, who dyed his whole body black from the black fog, stormed in, and Yveam, who breathed happily, moved to the left to avoid an attack, but Leowood's attack on the right wing blew blood.

"Guu!?

Yveam distorted his face to the pain and fell to the ground. Yveam, who thought that it would collide with the ground, desperately moved his painful wings to prepare and land.

In the air, the black fog that had stopped Leoward's movement returned to one away from his body. Then it takes shape and returns to Marione. Yes, the fog itself was a marionette.

"Your Majesty!

As soon as I got back, I was able to fly back to Yveam, who was injured.

Leowood also descended from the sky to the earth, and Legulus came nearby.

"Father, you're safe!

"Oh, I almost let him use his magic."

"Magic... huh?

"Ah, what is rightly called ancient magic, dark magic that is originally thought to only be used by demon kings."

"Is that what happened earlier?

"Ah, my liver is cold after listening to the chant. I didn't expect to see you at that age."

"So powerful?

"I once saw an ancient demon king use it."

"What kind of magic was it?

"... erupted."

"... what?

"The Demon King of the ancestors burst out of control. This crater was born as a result..."

"... eh?

Leguls lost his word on unexpected information.

"No, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that he caused the outbreak rather than the outbreak. There was originally a city here, but it blew up in a flash."

Legulus squeaks his throat.

"Yes, I've never heard such a story before. Rumor has it that a meteorite crashed here....."

"That's right. Nothing is wrong. A giant black meteorite crashed here. But it was Avolos, the ancient demon king, who did it. I was gonna tell you when you succeeded me."

"I see... So the Demon King tried to use that magic now?

Fear runs through my back when I hear the story. Leoward also looked harsh.

"No, by the way, the chanting part was different, so it's not exactly the same, but it still has the same power as this...."

"... I can't let you do that."

Recognizing the seriousness of the incident, Legles sweats from his forehead and stares at Yveam.

"Ah, I can't honestly say that I can win against ancient dark magic opponents. But that's the demon king of our time."

Huh?

"The ancient demon king had a spicy expression that distorted his face while chanting, but he was quiet. Maybe it's a genius..."

Is there a bad habit of Leo Wood? The stronger the other person is, the more I feel happy and my cheeks are loose.

"Remember, Legulus, that chant must never be finished?

Yes!

"Your Majesty, are you all right?

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, Marione. I have a chance that you've made for me...."

Bite your teeth with regret.

"No, I couldn't stop him completely either."

Marione also feels sorry for her lack of merit.

"Almost finished, but... did the Beast King stop you when you fought your ancestors?"

"Well, I was surprised when this place was chosen for the duel, but I thought that's why I chose Koko."

"Ah, there's no doubt that what our ancestors did is a stain on the 'Magus'. I even think this is the place to fight to remember that tragedy."

…………

"Sin is sin. That's why we have to remember that sin and make an effort to build peace on our shoulders."

"Your Majesty...."

"We can't lose, Marione! We are not the bearers, we are the bearers, we must face our sins!

"... my sincere regards"

Marione carefully lowers her head and lifts her face again to gaze at the opponent.

"Now is the time to create a magical opportunity. Your Majesty, focus only on completing your magic."

"... please, Marione."

And the two began to clash again.

Leoward was the first to turn his whole body into flame with "Explosive Heat Transformation", and it seems like he was hungry to settle down at once.

However, Marione is also fortunate to know the opponent's hands, and she casts magic at a distance without getting too close to him and controls Leoward's movements.

"Kh! You've only fought once, Marione!

Even after countermeasures were taken, Leoward laughed happily and shouted.

"That's our line! --- Black Ash!"

"I'll never eat that again!

Stay away from the scene, but the black fog still chases Leoward.

Then the fog caught my eye and a chunk of water flew in. And suddenly when the water appears in front of the fog, it starts to change its shape.

"─ Water shaped beads ! --Shape/bag!

When Legulus did so, the spherical water took the form of a bag and wrapped the mist in it.

"Well done, Leggles! I will kill the Devil like this!

We're heading to take Yveam down while Legulus is stopping Marione, but we can't find her anywhere.

"Mm... where did you go!?

I didn't even look up thinking it was superior. If we don't find it soon, we'll be able to complete the chant of ancient dark magic.

After checking the surroundings in a hurry, I was able to spot him behind Leggles.

"When!? Ah, yes, he was wary of magic, and his aim from the beginning was to destroy Legulus!

I think they took one of them, so I immediately went to stop them. Leguls didn't notice the signs behind it because he was concentrating on the Costume Magic.

"Legulus! Behind you!

"Eh!?

I finally noticed Yveam coming from behind with Leoward's scream. I have a sword in my hand. I will take the sword as it is.

"No, I can't let you do it! ― Floating Water Conversion !

I concentrated on discontinuing the current Water-shaped Pearl and transforming my body.

"Don't think this sword is just a sword!

Yveam slashes the light blue Legulus from above his head. Moaning sounds loud from Legulus, who was cut in half like a letter.

"Legulus!?

Leowood attempts to storm Yveam, but she instantly spreads her wings and flees into the air. However, it fled over the sky, but the altitude gradually dropped as if the injured wings were damaged.

It was Marione who supported Yveam by the interruption of Watershaped Pearls.

"How are you, Your Majesty?

"It's okay...."

On the ground, Leowood, who had rushed to Legulus, was checking his safety. The cut part was stuck back to normal, but Leoward roared as he saw Legulus distorting his face in pain.

"This is not just a physical attack. That sword...."

And when he looked at the sword of Yveam, it was a familiar fine sword.

"The sword that Marione made at that time."

Yveam's sword was the "Fine Sword in charge of the earth," which Marione produced from the earth.

This sword is a Spirit Sword made of magic itself. It can also deal damage to Transformation.

"Legulus, show me the man. Don't end up here."

"Ugh... ugh... I know!

He bled from his forehead, but apparently he hasn't fallen into a state where he can't fight yet.

Looks like we can still do it.

"Ah, the use of Transformation is still a hassle. But now we can earn the time to sing."

"Yes, if the Beast King comes, I will stop him. Even if it costs me my life."

"... no, I won't allow you to lose your life. But please do your best to respond."

"... Thank you. That young man won't be able to move. Your Majesty will win."

Ah!

Jumps further up into the sky, and puts his hands together with Pachin.

"I don't like it...."

Leowood also sees Yveam and knows that he can only move.

(What do I do... with the "Manners of Phenomenon"? No, if we don't get an attack, they'll use that ancient magic. That way, the only thing that can stop it is the "Ritual of Phenomenon"... and the one that goes bad here...)

Leowood is worried about his next move.

(Yeah! Anyway, let's hit the marionette fast first! Fight the Demon King!

Leoward's body burns like a flame.

"Legulus, stay here and protect yourself."

If that's all, Leoward jumps up. As he stared at his teeth, Leguls made his mouth a letter and said slightly, "Okay."

"You can't go through here, Beast King!

"Push through!

Again, the marionette turned into a black mist and got caught up in his body.

"I'll pour all my magic into you!

"Nuuu!

Feeling prepared for the marionette, Leowood smiles happily in this situation.

"That's... marione... but I was also a man called King of Beasts!

More and more of Leowood's body burns and rolls.

"Haaaaaaaaaa!

"Nuuuuuuuuuuu!

We both take it seriously to penetrate each other's thoughts.

It was Yveam who felt prepared for such a marione. That is why I decided to make sure that this chant alone succeeds.

"My darkness, which dwells in the abyss from the beginning, creates a faint and deep chaos and evokes a fragment of God's power to return to all things....."

A dark cloud rises in the sky from which black smoke gathers over Yveam. Yveam turned his hands to the sky, shaped like a sword.

"With that power, I will destroy all those who stand before me...."

As the black smoke that was concentrated in the sky turned into her hands and gradually changed shape, she opened her eyes with a cool look.

"--Become a single-bladed fang!

A great sword, created in dark color, was in his hand.

"Kh!? In this way, with the" Manners of Phenomenon "...."

Leowood decided to defeat Yveam with all his might, and saw something appear behind her. In a moment, Leoward's eyes were opened with full force.

"... Legulus...?

It was Leggles himself. It looks like Yveam is being strangled with wings from behind.

"Ha!?

Yveam, who was focused on chanting, first noticed the presence of Legulus there. But it was Marione who screamed there.

"Your Majesty! The sword is already showing off! I can't concentrate right now...!?

And Yveam beheld the word, and saw the sword in his hand. Then he discovered that the sword was bluishing and appearing to burst from the inside.

"Your Majesty! Let go of that sword!

Follow the words of Marione, and throw to heaven with all your might in a hurry.

Then the sword thrown stood still, swelling like a balloon in an instant.

----------------------------------------------------------!

A massive explosion was thrown from the sword.

"Kiaaaaaaaaaaa!?

"Wow!?

Yveam and Leguls, who were near the explosion, are blown away like they were hit by a fierce thrust.

Marione and Leoward wanted to protect them immediately, but they were also blown away by the blast.

Those who were watching the duel around them also felt the power of the explosion on their skin and lost their words.

He had thrown his sword quite high, but it was no wonder that there were still four people who thought that if they succeeded, they would have died after being blown away by such an explosion.

"Magic explosion..."

Lily nodded her lipstick.

Oh, that's a pretty big one too.

"Are they safe?

"If you leave it to Jisan, he'll find you."

Siuba, a facilitator and in the same crater, would have been affected by the explosion, but it's strange that he still feels intact. No, I suppose not.

I will check the surroundings for the color of the day.

Then Leowood and Marione found out. Looks like they crashed into the rock, but it looks like they're okay.

Marione was struggling with the damage she took in the previous battle and moving, but Leoward walked flat out of the rocks.

It's still a physical cheat.

I was just stunned to see Leoward's overworked flesh.

Each of the two survivors appears to be looking for Yveam and Legulus.

So they found an intact siuba, and they saw him raise his hand.

I hurried to the place.

There ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And when she saw him, Marione accidentally broke her knee.

That should be it. Because Yveam, who now had the king's role, was defeated in the duel because he was incapable of fighting.

And Marione went by her side,

"I'm sorry... Your Majesty..."

My whole body is shaking with my teeth biting and squeaking so much that I can hear sounds while I'm crying.

But over there...

Well, the demon king was unconscious too.

I hear Leoward's voice from behind.

"Kh... hate or beast king! Your Majesty... what did you just say?

Marione turns slowly and looks at Leoward's dark expression.

So I took a deep breath.

There was a Legulus in Leowood's arm who fainted as tightly as Yveam.

The other day, Leoward said, "Even the Devil."

In other words, Leguls was also flying consciousness due to the explosion earlier.

"At all... I told you to protect yourself."

Leowood looked at Legulus in his arm and said, but his expression was somewhat calm.

I would have thought that trying to stop Yveam's attack until he desperately moved his painfully dominated body was leowood and foolish, but still at that time, Leguls stopped Yveam's movement with a desperate expression....

"Someday you looked like a man."

I'm sure you'll be glad to see your son grow up. However, as a father, I say that I must preach later that I have done something that is likely to have died as a king.

Marione, it looks like this fifth round is a draw.

"... I see."

Marione stood up with Yveam in her arms.

And when they looked at Siuba's face, he nodded little by little.

"― ― The fifth round is a draw!

Knowing the end of the fifth round, which ended in a draw, the two factions did not expect this to happen, and no one opened their mouth to the scene.

Especially on the "Wesen" side, despite the participation of the Beast King Leoward, the results were incredible, and everyone is solidified.

Of course he was convinced of the victory.

But only Larasik said this to Leowood, who came back with Legulus in his arms.

"It's the result of Leo's bad habits. This is..."

"La Lassique!?

Barid shouted in a hurry to embarrass Larasik, who could even take insults.

"Smart."

To my surprise, it was Leoward who apologized.

"Dear Mr. Leowood...."

Not only Barid, but everyone on the spot looks at him.

"This may not have happened if I had been doing my best in this fifth round."

"That's right. However, Leo wanted to look at the bottom of his opponent's unexpected strength and get hot. Well, that's what caused this result, to say the least."

"... Phew, I couldn't give my victory to you, even though everybody's been fighting for the Beast Clan."

Everyone is silent without knowing what to say.

"Master Leo, but it's not over yet.

"... ahh"

"Agassi's Rules. If you win five games and still win the draw, you will have one representative from each faction play the final. That's the rule."

Leowood slowly lowers the legs to the ground.

"Take care of him."

They nodded back when they said so to Kuclear and Mimil, who came next to them. Leowood also slightly pulls his chin and reacts, bringing everyone in front of him into view.

"This time, I lost my mind and got a draw. But if you're going to give me a chance to get it back, why don't you leave the finals to me?

After receiving the words, there was silence for a while, but someone said, "Beast King! Say. Then you cut it open, and Beast King Cole flies everywhere.

"We believe in the Beast King!

"Yes! Our king is the strongest!

"The fate of the Beast tribe lies in the hands of my king!

A voice of praise came into Leoward's ear. Leoward's chest is getting hot again. I really appreciated how trusted I am.

"But are you sure? The representative match can certainly be played by Leo, who has already played twice, but is he wearing out a lot of health and magic?

"We have a little time before the championship begins. I'll try to heal it in the meantime. Get me a therapist."

"... I can see the eagle, Mr. Leo."

"Sorry."

And Leoward raised his fist high. Then the cheering of the atmosphere shook even more.

"I will win!

"" "Ooooooooooo!

My feelings were connected to one. Leowood squeezed himself to the chase.

"Sorry, Lara, pull me this far, and I'll take the last one."

"Nahaha! No, I got enough to look like this."

That said, I glanced at Muir and Anold and stared at Leoward again. It seemed good to see my apprentice grow up.

"But you know what? Final match... the opponent probably..."

"Ah, he must be..."

"... Master Leo, your face is smiling.

"Oh, really?

I tried to touch my face with my hands.

But seeing Leowood like that, Laraseek smiles happily.

"I know how you feel. But it's strong... Hyiro."

"... I know."

We can look around the "Magus" faction a long way from here.

Under Yveam, who had lost consciousness, the "Demons" were rushing towards him.

Marione gently lowers her down.

"... uhh..."

Then a voice leaked out of Yveam. Looks like he's recovered consciousness.

"... here...?

I wonder if my consciousness is still cloudy or if my gaze is wandering through the universe. And you can see marionettes and other "demons" in their eyes.

Looking at their worried faces, the thoughts gradually become clearer. Then grasp the situation where the current location is outside the crater and raise your upper body with your eyes wide open.

"Huh!?

But great pain struck my body and I stopped breathing.

"Your Majesty, please stay here for now."

"Kh... hah hah hah hah... marione... I... we..."

Marione silently shook her neck to hear the words containing the grief. His face distorts in despair when he looks like that. Then he grips his fist hard, shaking his whole body with regret and anger.

"What is it... that I... lose after all...?"

"I'm not, Your Majesty."

"To...?

Staring at Marione with a jittery look at her unexpected words.

"I certainly did not give my victory to His Majesty, but I did not lose."

"... well, what do you mean?

The tone has also changed, but Yveam forgot the blink and waited for a reply.

I pulled it off.

"Withdrawal...?

"Yes"

The magic of the last Yveam was almost complete, and with Legulus in the way, it failed and erupted.

The explosion involved four people, especially Yveam and Legles, who were nearby, and the shock caused both of them to lose consciousness, making them unable to fight simultaneously and eventually pulling them apart.

"... yes... you still have hope."

There was some faint noise. But it is also true that we were unable to win with our own hands.

"Gh...."

Endure the pain and wake your torso again. Marione told me that she was still asleep, but when she shook her head and refused, she stood up holding on to his body.

"... I'm sorry..."

I lowered my head in front of everyone. The cliché dominates the surroundings.

"Hopefully... I wanted to win for everyone... but I can't do that anymore."

The tone was already completely normal, but everyone was blinded by a sincere attitude.

"I'm sorry...."

Chevrolet gently hugs her.

Enough, Your Majesty.

"Schblers....."

"Ufufu, how embarrassing of me to lose, Your Majesty. You did your best."

…………

"Besides, it's not all over yet. There's still one last episode left."

The words tighten everyone's face. That's right. This hasn't settled it yet. The real last battle is next.

"That's why you can't cry yet."

Shubraz talks to Yveam as he looks at his face.

"If you want to cry, why don't we all cry after we win? Right?"

I feel relieved to see Schblers with a warm smile like my mother's.

"... okay. Chevrolet's right."

And Yveam turned his gaze toward someone.

There was Himura Hikari with his arms closed.

"Hyiro... can I rely on you again?

"The tone is back, demon king."

"Eh? Ah...."

So you finally noticed, dyeing your cheeks slightly,

"No, it doesn't matter now!

I think I managed to get my king's expression back. Then take a big deep breath and keep breathing.

"Hyiro, at the end of the day, I'm going to rely on you as a" human race "....."

"………… duration of stay"

Huh?

All of a sudden, he opens his mouth to words that he doesn't understand from the color of the sun.

"During my stay, I want to cook for that woman Cook."

"... um... is that okay?

"Are you kidding me? It's important."

Unexpectedly, he opened his eyes and looked at Yveam. I couldn't abandon dinner like that.

"So? What do you think? Can you promise me a satisfactory meal while I'm in [Haus]?

"... I promise."

"Ah, and if this duel is over, get me into the library right away. That's the deal."

"... I promise."

All right, let's go for a while then.

It feels like you're going for a walk, and you start walking with your neck snapped.

Wait, Hyiro.

Lillin called out to stop it.

"What is it?"

"... don't be alarmed."

"Oh, I'm going to win."

Nicki, Mikazuki, and Chamoe also sent Yale to the sun.

"Master, if you're a master, you're a dokan too!

"Mikazuki is also here ~ I'm so sorry!

"Ha, ha, but do your best!

Marione opens her mouth further.

"Originally, I deserved to leave here... but I'm afraid I can't beat him right now."

…………

"I didn't mean for you to say this, but I want you to do what you want me to do."

"... you just have to win."

Aunous also said a word to Schblers.

"Hyiro, it may be heavy, but I'll leave our fate to you. I'm sorry."

"If Akwinus and His Majesty have recognized you... no, everyone here believes you. Please, boy."

I look them in the eye lightly before walking again. I can hear the soldiers' ale from behind. At that time, I feel my clothes being pulled. Check the back.

"... good luck."

There was Ionis. And beside that, Herbal Lead stands with his eyes shining.

"Hero! Please!

If you ask me to do just this, I can't give you very different results. There is also a consideration. I didn't intend to lose from the beginning, but there was a reason why I couldn't lose any more.

And he pointed his finger at Yveam.

"Look, when this is over, it's time for dinner!

"Ah, oh, I know!

And he turned his heel again and stepped forward with everyone's cheers on his back.
