Episode 14: Let's Burn the Coward -5

"Ku......!

Xana rolls out the ice early in the arrow as she raises her distressed voice and jumps back and forth. The ice spear generated in the moment was even double the speed of the master's thrust, aiming and shooting Sofia from all directions.

Just sick, a lot. A saturated attack that is simple, but therefore neither able to be deflected nor prevented.

But it could not hurt any young demon king.

The countless red lines that surround Sofia as if it were a blood vessel are the flames of the Sun God strewn through the passages of an invisible labyrinth (La Burintos). Multiple strained and inevitable flames instantly melt and render powerless Xana's ice, no matter from which direction it attacks.

Protected by an invisible stone wall, its flames, unlike those emitted by Yeldave, cannot be undone, but only releases violent heat towards the outside. Even if the flames that appeared on the surface could be extinguished, it was impossible to quench even the sparks protected deep in the labyrinth.

If you can keep the entire labyrinth of the cube cool without interruption and keep the temperature low enough to keep the flames going, or you might have had a hitter. But as Sophia spotted it, Zana's icy technique was significantly lacking in persistence at the price of allowing divine speed to be activated and built.

In that regard, Sofia is the exact opposite of it. The flames that produce cannot be released outside without dividing the seed fire behind the labyrinth and passing through a long and complex invisible labyrinth. That's the slower the yawn comes out of Zana, but it never interrupts instead. The compatibility of the two abilities could be said to be extremely poor.

- But.

In an overwhelming advantage, Sophia was totally aggressive. The reason for this is very simple.

Raised as the daughter of an evil demon king, young girls with simple sensibilities could not be prepared to harm and kill people.

The flame that gave way from Yeldave is an inevitable flame that burns and extinguishes everything. Kind as Uselmart, king of sand, used, it burns down without even leaving a soul if it touches a man. There's no way we can do that.

So what Sophia was after was Zana's out of stamina. There's no way you can release that much ice for as long as you want. By contrast, for Sophia moving the dungeon is tantamount to breathing. If you're sparking a flame so you don't kill it, and if you're inducing icing to prevent it, you should do your best one day.

- That's it.

The naive prospect of such a girl was lightly nursed by Zana.

"I'm sorry for the cliché line.... If you spare these guys their lives, let go of that flame"

Poking an ice blade at a frozen marie, Zana says so. Just like the word, stale hostages. But the effect on Sofia was immense.

You didn't even think about being taken the means, the girl stops her hand perfectly and alternates between Zana's face and her icy mother.

"Come on, choose. Abandon these guys and kill me, or give up my country according to me."

Zana presses Sophia to make a choice as she puts a ton of the ice sword created from her palm against Lil's neck muscle.

"What?"

What returned was a loose voice somewhere out of the picture.

"... you don't seem to understand the situation. Fine, I'll show you."

Unpleasantly wrinkled between her eyebrows, Zana waved an ice sword. That blow, which does not appear to be heavily powered, severs Lil's neck with such smoothness that there is no sound. The neck of an ice-covered succubus rolled all over the ground.

"Ah..."

Sophia opened her eyes wide.

"haha...... hahaha!

Cocksucker, I started laughing.

"Hey, what's wrong!?

Zana turns her sword to Marie, while surprised by the reaction she doesn't anticipate.

"I'm gonna kill this guy next! Are you sure?

"Yeah, okay."

Behind Xanah's words like half a scream, Sophia sparked a flame when she replied so lightly. The four flaming chunks that fly like bullets strike not only Marie, but even Eunice and Spina. There is no fine dust to be precise enough to do something clever, such as dissolve only the ice that froze its body. The four of them were engulfed in a whole flame.

"Hey, what are you doing!? Did you even touch it?

Screaming, Zana rushes to release the cold air and put out the fire. That seemed too desperate, rounding up the room I had shown earlier.

"I'm sane."

Seeing how Zana is like that, Sophia grins a lot. And when he took out the flame over its palm, he turned to Zana, who had managed to extinguish the fire, and said:

"I'm sorry for the impudence, but if your moms' lives were spared, surrender? Mr. Zana."

"Ha... ha!? What are you talking about?

For Yeldave, who was watching a series of things, it was a sight I didn't understand. Until just now, Zana was despicably taking hostages and threatening toddlers. It should be.

Yet in just a moment, that position is being reversed. A toddler is despicably taking his own mother hostage and threatening Zana. I have no idea what that means.

"'Cause, Mr. Zana, if they kill your moms, you're in trouble, right?

Sophia asks.

"Well, then, if they kill all the hostages all of a sudden, we're in trouble! But if you think I can't kill someone else..."

"Lil 'Mama is a demon, so she won't perish as long as she snaps her neck. If you die, you just go back to the demon world and call again."

That's what Sophia said, blocking Zana's words saying by wielding an ice sword.

"Spina mom is slime, so she won't die if she smashes her heart. Eunice, my mom is an English spirit, so I can summon her to destroy her flesh."

The young demon king spins his words calmly, as if to block the way of that blade.

"My mom... Marie, my mom would normally die because she's a genuine human being, but if you're going to snap your neck clean with that sharp ice that looks cleavage, my dad can easily resuscitate and I wonder if it won't fail first"

"... when my threat is haphazard, is that what you want?

"Yeah."

Sophia nodded honestly at Zana's roaring words.

"Regret, don't...!

Countless ice thorns were born in the hands of Zana, as if they were onions. If so screwed up, resuscitation may indeed be difficult.

But sooner than Xanah waved it down, Marie's body was burning.

"Gyahhhhhhhh!!!

From Zana's mouth, a scream emerges that is unsuitable for its beauty.

"What are you doing!? What are you doing?

"I just burned it."

Zana panicked and quenched the flames, but about half of Marie's body had already burned out.

"The fire you're using isn't just a flame!? The first flame to destroy everything, the fire of nuclear heat! Burn it with that and it will be ashes for every soul, no resurrection, no circle! It's not something a kid can use for a joke!

Xana screams as she gets semi-frequent. There was even a twitch and tears in his eyes.

"Yeah, I know."

In contrast to the turbulent ice queen, Sophia walks over to her in a calm manner.

"Mr. Zana, you're not going to beat me in the first place."

Flame protection also disappears from its perimeter, and Sophia, approaching defenseless, can be killed at any time. But Zana didn't try to release the ice, she just retreated to fear.

"Well, keep it around there"

"Dad!"

Sophia turns around and brings joy to the sound of the outing.

"Nah...... oh, you, why!?

Xana opened her eyes and shouted at Oul as she stood there.

"Is that it? Wasn't Daddy and Zana, Guru?

No wonder Oulu is safer than Xana didn't have the will to fight for real. But it's strange to be surprised at that, Sophia asked.

"Oh. You'd know if you'd seen how Marie reacted when she burned in the first place, wouldn't you?

"Oh, well."

"Ah... what do you mean...?

Left entirely out of the course of things by one person, Yeldave asked an aside.

"What, it's easy. This whole thing is just a crazy, farce. Everything..."

Oulu glances at Yeldave and then turns his gaze to Zana, who can snooze.

"I failed and lost my legs trying to rebel against me. I give everything to Yeldave, including the throne. That's the place, isn't it?
