Episode XV: The Battlefield That Ends

- On the battlefield, both humans and demons were consolidated as time had stopped.

Until a few moments ago, the battlefield had witchcraft blown, blades crossed, and blood flowers blooming mad.

That had changed a lot now.

On the front lines of the battlefield, destruction is scattered as if there had been a local storm.

"VOOOOOOOO!!"

An unintelligent demon tries to enter the storm, instantly turning into blood fog.

The demons that stood up are scattered by the aftermath of destruction.

Both men and demons fled not to be drunk by the storm and watched a disastrous battle.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

In the middle of the storm, "distorted" Volk growls.

He freely handles a sword he grips with both hands like a part of his body, wielding a blade with magic on it.

…………

Shaking his blood-swet brunette, Iwo recieves that streak of strikes with a 'jade knife'.

The slaughter that was bounced flowed backwards, involving demons who were watching.

Volk's sword, which crushes even the robust scales of the dragon species, slipped by the soft sword of Iwo and had not yet been plundered.

――――

After receiving an attack from a sword, Io unleashes a return move on Volk.

Precision blow, like sewing between breaths.

At the same time Volk peeled his eyes at the overwhelming sword speed, Io was finished waving his sword.

"Sort of.... Dangerous"

While sweating, Volk distorts Ni's mouth a lot.

The blade, which was sure to have slashed and torn Volk, was once again cutting the sky.

Volk remains intact.

…………

Iwo narrows her eyes to a strange sensation as if the swung blade had suddenly pointed in a different direction.

The fireball still doesn't hit Volk, even if it produces and shoots fireballs with one hand at the same time instantly.

"Ooh!!"

Up, down, left, right, from all directions, the blade of the sword approaches Iwo.

One blow smashes the human body to excess, the slaughter of a disguised plain Volk, but Iori plays it from the front.

Every time the blades cross, the battlefield shakes and the ground cracks.

"What the... that"

"Are you really a human being fighting the Four Heavens King...?

The knights watching the state of war murmured so unexpectedly at the motion of Iori, who was too human apart.

Neither will that, nor the impossibility.

Dozens of demons are being swept away by the blow of Iori.

"Somewhere, he's pushing the Four Heavens King..."

At the tip of the knights' gaze, Volk, who crossed the blade with Iwo, had been pushed backwards by force for many meters.

"Ku...... ooh. Whoa... what a power, you"

Instantly flips and Volk moves to counterattack.

To avoid enlightening the attack's orbit, rotate the circle and the sword before striking from the left diagonal.

Without changing one complexion, Io reads the track of the attack and moves to deal with it.

――――

Moment after moment, the trajectory of the sword distorted gnarly.

The attack changes from Diagonal Left to Horizontal.

Iori lowered backwards with a human detached jumping force, avoiding an unlikely attack from orbit.

"... I see"

Iori opened her mouth quietly as she vanished without even glancing at the demons that had struck her at the same time as she landed.

"Is that your mind magic?"

"Big right"

Volk whistled in an upbeat mood at Ito, who described his abilities.

"Turn around. None of it breaks. - That sounds like my mind. So you can bend space with gnarly gnarly."

Mind magic is magic that shapes the human mind.

In the case of Volk, it appears in the form of a "distortion".

Whatever the heavy attack, it deflects the attack by "bending" the orbit.

The failure to strike so far is due to the power of mindset magic.

"... so. I just found out the story, what are you gonna do?

To his mental state, Volk has absolute confidence.

I can't break this distortion, even if they try to see who I am.

With a sword, Volk provokes Io with a spare attitude -

"- Ooh!?"

Shortly after, he leaned heavily against the blade of Iwo, which was now approaching.

I manage to dodge the blade in a hurry on my face.

Because we broke through the space we were supposed to "distort" and the attack was imminent.

Flexible, Volk puts Io's pursuit at risk.

"What do you mean..."

"Your battle was watched from the sky. During the battle, you were directly guarding your opponent against the attack with a scythe."

To that word, Volk is stunned in a double sense.

From that distance, that I was looking at this one.

And to have been spotted for "distortion" weakness.

"So I guessed. I wonder if you can't absorb attacks with more than a certain amount of power or magic."

――――

Sounds like a hit.

"Huh."

Without showing any emotion, Iori says it cold.

"Then all you have to do is kill them with magic."

From there, Io's attacks intensified.

The amount of magic covering the blade jumps, up, down, left and right oblique spikes, from all directions in all directions, almost simultaneously the attack flies.

Each blow contained as much magic as possible to break through the "distortion".

"Seriously, you."

You just have to put in enough magic to break the distortion.

Simple, but definite countermeasures.

As Iori said, too powerful an attack cannot be diverted with distortion.

The slash that Leo unleashed was also taken with a sword because the distortion could not handle it.

However, only advanced sorcery or more attacks specializing in firepower can break through Volk's distortions.

It's not as powerful as a human being can let go.

Even Leo, who can use mindset magic, could not break through the distortion without a blow all over his body.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!! How many kids!?"

Volk desperately prevented Iwo from attacking as he felt sweat erupt from all over his body.

Volk's fighting power does not depend on "distortion".

Mixed, the sword technique is overwhelming, taking advantage of its power over the human being coming from the blood of the devil clan and the extraordinary technology it has built up so far.

"This is the brave...... duh!! Are you serious about the monster level?!?"

- That's what he was doing, and he was on the defensive side of the offense against Io.

The jade sword flashes run.

To a constant man, countless lights would only appear to be swimming through the universe.

Volk had taken such a sword blow so hard.

However, whenever Iwo's arms were braced, the whole body meat was starting to shred slightly.

"Help Lord Volk -"

The demons who were watching where the battle was going try to move in order to help Volk, who is being hunted down,

"Bubba!?"

I was turning into a meat chunk at that moment.

While hunting down Volk, there was still room for Io to skip the slaughter.

"Tell me where Elphiszark is. If you don't get in the way, I won't kill you."

"... Ha. I knew I liked being like you."

――――

In response to the warning, Volk still smiled invincibly.

Iwo's vision distorts to a greater extent than ever before.

Vigilant of the magical movements of different qualities, Io jumped backwards to a large extent.

"... your precious companion is a mon you want to protect even if you risk your life"

Volk sets up a sword.

- Me too, yes.

A huge amount of magic concentrates around Volk.

Only Volk maintains a normal shape with the vision of a threaded bent Itsuki.

――――

Around the protruding sword, the magic began to spin at high speeds.

The rotation screws the space and creates a blacker space.

I could see the winding grass swallowed up and vanished without a trace.

- Let's go.

Ito understands.

That black is a "nothingness" created by the space being screwed off.

I don't know the principle, but he said that I was the mystery of Volk's arrived mind.

"- [Unbreakable by bending (Vain.), I claw my sword (Realm.)]"

Nothingness twists and goes crazy.

Rotating like a tornado, he began to push towards Iwo like a spear tip.

A meadow touched by nothingness is instantly shredded and extinguished.

"... I don't have time to stop here."

When he spat out the frustration briefly, Io put his hand up to the front.

"" Devil's Destruction Seizure (Il Atalaxia) ""

A giant shield appeared and took [bent and unbroken, and I clawed my sword] from the front.

A violent earthquake runs, and the impact rocks even Schmelz through the Great Sacred Gate.

Knights and Demons could only cling to the ground to avoid being blown away.

Accepting nothingness is a shield that takes, sharpens, and seals off all attacks.

Power is killed and the momentum of nothingness diminishes.

But I'm also sorry that the shield was not safe.

Big cracks, gradually starting to collapse.

- Eventually.

The shield collapsed, and the nothingness that barely left its power pierced the way ahead.

The whole space in which Iwo stood is extinguished, with a large hole.

Finished.

It was only for a moment that Volk thought so.

"Nah."

The shadow swept over him, and his vision widened.

He hid himself with a shield and jumped big enough to get to Volk's sight.

Reflectively, Volk takes a defensive stance with a sword.

"- Ghost Sword/Shattered Punch"

"Huh!?"

The moment he was attacked, a tremendous shock ran across Volk's arms.

I recognize this move.

This is the move Dionis used before.

It was Volk who managed to kill the shock from the experience then and spared the fracture, but he removes the sword from his paralyzed arm.

"... eh"

There, a blade was poked around his neck.

Complete stuffing.

"Strong...... you"

Eating his teeth at the humiliation of being struck by a special blow he was absolutely confident of, Volk sends words of praise as he squeezes them out.

"I'll just ask you one last time. Where's Elphis Zark?"

To Io's inquiry, Volk accidentally loosened his cheek.

Because it turns out that if you answer honestly and don't get in the way, Io really misses himself.

The gap between a fierce look like a demon and the kindness you can see from words and deeds was hilarious somewhere.

However, it was also understood that if I did not answer, I would be relentlessly decapitated.

Gentle, but not sweet.

This man also combines the ruthlessness of slashing and throwing away what becomes his obstacle.

"... my loss"

In these circumstances, some would say, 'As long as you talk, you die'.

High pride and strong will, that's a fine aspiration, Volk thinks.

But I'm not.

If it breaks, bend.

You can't die here to protect your precious families (...).

"Elphiszark is..."

It was when I tried to say where the former demon king was.

"... evil no"

――――

- Time's up.

A chill runs through Iwo's body.

Shortly after jumping according to a hunch, the blade was piercing where Iwo had stood until earlier.

"... do you want to play with that?"

"Well, even if you rot, you're a brave man."

Soon, two shadows appeared on the battlefield.

Demons with green hair and twisted horns, "disappear" Gracia Levataine.

And the blonde half elf, "Heavenly Wear" Lucifina Emilior.

They were both bleeding from all over their bodies and their clothes were dirty.

As a result of fighting with who, Io immediately realized.

"Hey, what happened to him!

"Kusu. You're so annoyed, I knew you liked that guy, didn't you, Mr. Amatsu?

"Oh, before... ugh"

To the irritating weave, a derisive lucifina tells cold.

- I killed him, didn't I?

Moment after moment, a killer erupted from Iwo.

Even the less intelligent demons are beginning to flee the scene in instinctive fear.

I was fighting Volk. It should be noted that I had never been more murderous.

"... eh"

――――

Even Volk and Gracia are breathtaking with so much killing.

The only thing that hasn't moved is Lucifina with a thin grin.

"Don't be so angry. It's okay."

"... what"

"Because you can go that way, too. Mr. Elfiszark and I were in the Underworld...... and oh yes! You can't go to the Underworld very much in that miserable way of dying, can you? Ugh, I'm sorry."

"Lucifinaaaaaaaa!!"

The moment Iori stepped out with fierce momentum,

"-"

Gakun, and the power fell out of Io's body.

Mindset magic is extinguished, and any magic that Iori was entangled with is extinguished.

And it was, like, a deadly gap.

"'Sky Sword'"

Lucifina lifts a sword that shines in purple.

Magic power was amplified and purple light poked heaven.

"Don't feel bad, brave man. Irregular people like you must be cleaned up before Orteguia wakes up."

At the same time, Gracia also concentrated her magic powers on her arms.

A high sound echoes with Vin, and magic condenses in his hands in a cane.

"Now it's really time to say goodbye"

Lucifina waved down the celestial sword.

"-" Dance (Leva), Struggle (Tain) ""

At the same time, Gracia waved down the wand of magic.

――――

Sound disappears from the world.

Two stunts swallowed up a non-microscopic weave.

A dazzling light illuminates the battlefield without a neighborhood.

When the light went out, the body of Iwo that was ahead of it had not kept the prototype.

Barely any remaining flesh pieces are rolling unbroken in the meadows.

"Now it's time to make sure you're done."

Gracia nodded, confirming a piece of meat from Iwo.

There is no way to escape that distance, and the remnants of the magic you feel from this piece of flesh belong to Yi Wei.

Without a doubt, that man is dead.

"Hehe. You should have told me. Persistent men don't like it."

Lucifina laughs as she tramples gritty pieces of rolled meat.

"Even if I wasn't persistent, I always hated it. Really set out the boring ideal of world peace and get in my way again and again. Ever since I first had it, I've been, I've been, I've been, I haven't been."

With a look that even feels insane, Lucifina steps over and over and over and crushes pieces of flesh.

Gucha gucha and sound, blood staining the ground.

"... but you made me happy."

With that said, he snaps up a crushed chunk of meat and Lucifina looks at it lovingly.

"When you become such a chunk of meat, even you will look adorable. It makes me want to stroke you and love you. Heh, heh, heh."

Let your whole body tremble, hold your belly, even weep, and Lucifina shudder.

"Haha, that's expensive...... Hehe, hey, isn't it? Uhhhhh!"

Sounds sincerely delightful, with the kettle.

"... I'll take care of the rest of your command. I have something to do."

Gracia glanced at Lucifina with an indescribable look, leaving Volk saying that and disappearing somewhere.

"... chip"

Volk accidentally tongued that this guy was always on his own.

"... crazy"

With a piece of meat in my hand, I saw the shaky Lucifina and had to say so.

Though the enemy, that brave man was a respectable opponent.

Volk can't understand Lucifina trampling and mocking it.

I felt it when I was Dionys, but how the hell can I live that ugly?

Take your gaze off Lucifina's words and actions, which are difficult to understand, and skip the instructions to his approaching men.

- Retreat.

By Volk's command, the Demon King's army began to withdraw.

Thus the battle in Schmeltz ended.

This battle will trigger, and the battle between demons and humans will accelerate to the end.

From the hilltop off Schmeltz, the marks the battle engraved looked good.

The grass is scattered, and the earth is broken, and it is as if a giant beast were raging and crazy.

"Huh. Look, like I said, Elphiszark was right, right?

Looking down at the sight, the pink-haired girl shrugged well.

A ruffled outfit featuring a black tube top, a grey skirt and knee-length boots and knee-length knee-length knee socks.

"... yeah. Sure, there he is."

At the end of the pink-haired girl's gaze, a dark-haired woman stood.

The woman wears clothes close to a relaxed kimono.

The woman shakes her dark hair up to her back and nods as she stares at the battlefield trail with her reddish black eyes.

"... but it's too late. I couldn't help you. After all, I should have called out in the city.... useless"

"You won't forgive me, will you?"

The pink-haired girl, who was in an upbeat mood, screams in dissatisfaction at the words of a woman who grumbled with half eyes.

I hustle for correction, but where is the wind blowing women?

I can no longer watch such a crappy exchange, and I (...) opened my mouth.

- So, who are you guys?

Sitting on a rock, I stared at the two women.

Just before I was slashed by Lucifina.

I was disturbed by these guys and suddenly transferred to this place.

Blown up by those two were exquisite dolls imitating me for how I made them.

The pink-haired girl said, "It wasn't a good idea to fight like that, so let me intervene".

Seems to be judging by looking at me with blood climbing up my head and sticking it in without considering how drained it is.

Sure, I couldn't stand what Lucifina said and did, and I wasn't cool then.

"...... hmm. Explain, do"

You two turned to my words.

Dark-haired woman - No.

He is human in some sort of magic (...) and Black Flame Dragon (Carsdragon) opens his mouth.

I was knocked down from the Abominable Labyrinth to the ground by Lucifina's slaughter.

Shortly before I was beaten to the ground, I was helped by a black-fired dragon who appeared abruptly.

That's this brunette right in front of you.

I see with these eyes the use of magic to become human.

"... there's no choice in this situation..."

When he muttered something and showed a convincing bareback, Blackflame Dragon named him.

"- I'm Beldia. Master...... Elphiszark's pet"

That was a familiar name.

Beldia - It's the name of the Black Flame Dragon (Curse Dragon) Elphi kept.

I don't think this guy is lying because I actually see him become a human figure from a black-fired dragon.

He escaped from Orteguia and survived.

Beldia continued her words in a flat voice, not letting her feel the emotions.

"... the brave man of our time. I need your help to help your husband out."

"Help Elfi...?

"... yes. Your husband is still alive."

Beldia said so with a sure look.

"How do you know?"

"... not the kind of person who dies. Besides, Gracia... I saw the Four Heavens take me away"

Sure, he's not the kind of guy who dies easily.

…………

Lucifina said she killed him... maybe that was a lie.

To provoke me, to mock me.

"... why did you call me? If you wanted to help, you should have just gone to help."

"... I can't help your husband on my own. I need your help."

"Who didn't speak up in the city?

"... because I didn't understand the situation. I was acting with humans, and I was surprised."

... There are too many things I don't understand.

I can't find any inconsistencies, but I can't trust them, not very much.

"... please. I need your help."

That's what I'm saying, Beldia's coming one step closer.

"... stop"

Pull out the jade knife and turn the kill on Beldia and the pink-haired girl.

"Hih."

The pink-haired girl showed a frightening bare gesture and hid behind Beldia.

I was immediately interrupted, but I was thrust.

"Thank you for your help. But I can't trust you guys."

Wanting to help Elfi may be true.

But that's no reason to trust me.

Because maybe you're trying to cooperate and use me for something else.

"... why not. Because I'm a dragon?

"It doesn't matter. Human, but demonic, but dragon, but the same. You can't act with someone you don't trust."

I don't know when you'll be betrayed.

Unless you can determine if they can be trusted, you can't act in a detour.

"... irrelevant. Yes."

Beldia stared at me silently as she took my killing spirit from the front.

From that look, I can't read what you're thinking.

"Can't you trust me? Well, you are."

A little pink-haired girl came forward to break the silence between me and Beldia.

This woman looks familiar.

That's one of the reasons I don't trust you.

"... you, the woman you bumped into in Schmeltz"

Not long ago, we met just before the city was raided by the Wing Dragon (Wyburn).

Being in action with Beldia, it still didn't seem like he was just a person.

"That's right. Damn, that hurt! What would you have done if my clean body had been scratched?

"... so. You want to help Elphis Zark, too?

Different tones and voices, but this guy's words and actions remind me of Elfi somewhere.

Out-of-place words and actions are irritating now.

Ignore the foolish words and ask questions.

"I wonder if it's a little different. I do want to help Elphiszark, but my purpose lies ahead."

Shaking her head small, the girl replied.

- I want to kill Orteguia.

The girl narrows her peachy eyes and smiles lightly.

In those eyes, a slight colour of hatred peered.

"How can that lead to helping me and Elfi?"

"I'm sure Elphiszark will kill each other with Orteguia. I want Elphiszark to win and Orteguia to die."

Unlike Beldia, this girl is expressive.

Even during the conversation, the corny and facial expressions have changed.

Even so, I couldn't see the sincerity from it.

I can't read whether you're lying or telling the truth.

"Hey, hey. Don't look at me like that."

Waving like a panic, the girl retreats.

I hit Beldia in the back and she pushed me back "... out of the way" and she came back in front of me.

From the mundane girl, I can't feel the atmosphere of the mighty, as I feel from elphi, the Four Heavens King, etc.

The way consciousness is directed, the way the body is used, is the amateur itself.

That's why I feel sick about this lack of merit.

"Oh, yeah."

Like she couldn't stand the silence, the girl stood her finger up.

"You're late for what I said."

With her breasts stretched, the girl proudly named herself.

"My name is Idler! With awe and respect, I wonder if I want it right!

Idler.

It was a name I had never heard of.

Unlike Beldia, it doesn't look like Elfi's men either.

"Well, this isn't the only way to get here."

Idler nodded,

"... would you like me to think that this is a sign of good faith towards you"

"... what?

"If you say this, maybe you'll be more alert."

Idler is still smiling.

"If it's our name (...), I think you've heard of it too -"

However, its quality has changed.

- I'm also known as Reaper.

There was a glaring grin peeking behind this one, and Idler said so.
