Episode XII: The Undying Spirit

"Why? Why... why don't you just do what I want you to do!! Why are you looking at me like that!!"

Gracia's first voice, which received Elfi's words, was this.

Scratch your head, shake your hair, open your eyes, spit, and step on the ground, screaming like crazy.

Why don't you understand?

Why would I say such a terrible thing when I'm doing it for you?

He turned his blood-running eyes to me after he curled up in tears with a quick mouth.

"It's you... You confused my Elphiszark, brave man!!"

"I don't know. It's just, at least, this isn't your thing."

I walked out of the siege net, and I came next to Elphi.

Put your hand on Elfi's cheek and heal the red, swollen cheek with magic.

The swelling subsides and returns to the original white cheek.

Apparently, such an act touched Gracia's scales even more.

"Hey, hey, hey!! Don't touch my Elphiszark!! Don't leave a dust, just a chunk of meat -"

I run my eyes blood and try to scream something in an inverted voice.

But the word didn't last until the end.

"-" Demon Eye/Heavy Crushing ""

Because from Gracia's head, gravity created by magic poured down.

The demons who were around also ate the convolutions, leaving more than a dozen men with arms to stand and be crushed.

Among the crushed, Gracia is not included.

"... ugh."

Immediately afterwards, Gracia appeared, far from the range of heavy crushing.

I've seen it before, the magic of instantaneous movement.

"You're deaf. Torrrr!! Dear Elphiszark, seal it again!!"

A vain looking yellow-haired demon clan - Tor makes magic gush from all over his body.

I made sure it followed, and the other dolls moved out.

Those four are in the way to defeat Gracia.

It was when I came forward to deal with the dolls.

"Good"

Elfi blocked me with his hands.

"Gracia and those four I'll take down"

"... you okay?

Thor, Abel, Faye, Musbell.

I've heard those four names many times from Elphi.

That's about as important a companion as Elfi is.

Fighting those four means giving them a second death.

That's my concern.

"Oh. Who do you think I am?

That's what Elfi replied.

――――

Swallow the words out of your throat into that look.

"Okay. Then I'll take care of the overdraft."

"... um, I asked"

Apart from Gracia and the Tors, there are many demons left in this room again.

Those who hear the noise will also be rushing.

From here on out, it's not my turn.

So let's just say we leave with the intruders.

"Fourth Ghost Sword/Slash Fan"

Target the remaining demons and unleash a slaughter.

The demons evade each with high physical abilities.

"- Great Whirlwind (Hoir Blast)"

There, he tapped into the magic of the wind attribute.

The demons are overwhelmed, swallowed by the wind and blown out of the room.

I tied the line at the entrance and exit of the room so no one else could get in, and then I followed it.

It was the Great Hall that preceded us in blowing up the demons.

Whether it is a place to invite guests, a red carpet is drawn on the floor and a chandelier-like magic grant (magic item) is installed on the ceiling.

Many of the blown demons groan as they roll to the ground.

But there were two demons who were pimping on the big whirlwind.

"Unconscious. I can't believe they beat me out of my room with only two shots"

"Chip. I heard from Gracia, is this the brave one? It's a human habit."

"Warning. The opponent is a brave man. Don't get distracted."

"I know."

We fought a little earlier, the White Snake Demon Clan and the Dragon and Lion Mixed Demon Clan.

Looks like it's near Gracia's side and seems to have a high strength among the demons here.

"Even so, the brave man is one of the Elphiszarks. He puts a human hand in the devil's habit, and he throws up."

"Agreed. Don't think you can get in the way of Master Gracia and go home alive. With those women, I'll make you a jerk."

Like throwing up, that's what they said.

"What. Unlike“ disappear, "you don't see Elfi as sacred."

"Naturally. That woman is blind. Lady Gracia doesn't deserve it."

I see.

My men are also subordinates, and they haven't been able to unite their will with the Lord.

"Unpleasant. If Lady Gracia hadn't even cared, I'd have hurt her more."

"... more?

A white snake-shaped demon clan squeals as he rocks his tongue with tyrosis.

As I agree with that, another nodded.

"Ah, that woman, she had a defiant attitude towards Lady Gracia. I just shook them up a little bit. It was a masterpiece, that woman's crying face. That's the former demon king, so I wonder if the old demon clan had nothing but heartbreak."

"Lose your laughter. That's why you lose to Master Orteguia"

……………………

"You, you're his guy anyway, right? Then you wonder what that woman did?

A mixed demon clan grinned with nymphomali,

"I hit him a little. Like this - hey!!"

A mixed demon clan flew up, shattering the floor violently.

Beat the muscle's enlarged arm on my right shoulder.

To its power beyond man, the bones of his right shoulder were crushed.

"Ha, what the fuck!! That's no big deal. What bravery -"

Blocking that word, I crushed my mixed-type arm.

"Oh, hi, giggle, giggle, giggle"

Seeing an arm crushed enough not to fasten the prototype, the mixed one screams.

He's falling to the ground holding down his arm and hitting him harder and harder in pain.

"The proximity of the Four Heavens King, to this extent...?

Turn the right shoulder, already cured by healing magic, with glue.

And advise the other demons who have finally begun to rise.

"I'm not here because I wanted to kill each other with you guys. Stay back if you don't want to die, if you don't want to fight. That way, I won't get my hands on it either."

"Barren. Die...... ugh!!"

The white snake-shaped screamed, his arms clasped forward.

Shortly afterwards, his arms turn into countless white snakes, pushing him up on the ground like a tsunami.

"Second Ghost Sword/Good Rift"

Shake the jade knife and break off the white snake herd.

Without any particular resistance, the whitesnakes were casually crushed by the slaughter.

The slaughter remains intact and amputates the right arm of the White Snake Shaped Demon Clan.

"No, no!? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

White snake-shaped that loses one arm and screams.

I can stop at something, trying to chase them.

If you look, the hybrid was grabbing me with one hand.

"Now, snail ooh!!"

Answering my buddy's scream, the white snake-shaped flew up.

He opens his mouth wide, strips his fangs out and tries to bite them.

... don't be too crude.

"Die yep, brave man ahhh!!"

You're changing your tone.

Shake off the mixed-type restraint and I step forward.

And he slashed the flying white snake shape from the front.

"Ahhh."

It is broken in two and the white snake type falls to the ground.

They don't have the ability to play, and they don't even work with Pickle.

"... Well"

"Hih, hih, no. Or stop..."

You're at your feet, drop your gaze on the mixed type.

"I'm not gonna lay my hands on the guy who's gonna back down"

"No, no, no, no, no."

I crushed that face with my magical feet.

Screaming like a crushed frog, the mixed form dies.

"But if you want to fight, be prepared."

I say to the demons who are bluishing at what the two of them have been done.

- I'm a little angry.

- And the only ones left in the room are the seven people we knew each other.

Former Demon King, Elphiszark.

Its men, Gracia, Tor, Abel, Faye, Musbelle and Beldia.

For the first time in thirty years, those who were formerly in a subordinate relationship have met together.

"... I, too, will fight with your husband"

Berdia stands next to Elphiszark as he remains in human form.

To its rising fighting spirit, Elphiszark nodded silently.

"You think you want to fight with me? Don't get on the diagram, Beldia!!"

The cry signaled that Tor and the others began to move.

Towards Elphiszark, Thor and Gracia unleash an attack.

In the meantime, Abel and Faye stormed towards Beldia.

――――

Flame and water magic, which strikes from left to right.

It was Gracia who foresaw Beldia's death and distorted her mouth,

……

Abel and Faye never hit the offense.

With limbs on the ground, Beldia was attacking with spider-like movements.

Abel and Faye chase without getting their hair in, but that collaboration doesn't reach Beldia.

Beldia avoided a series of attacks without jeopardizing herself.

"... it's not like I've been running from you guys for thirty years"

Shaft your arms on the ground and Berdia rotates like a comma.

At the same time, both legs change from people to Black Flame Dragon (Curse Dragon) objects.

Abel and Faye, who were approaching from left to right, struck directly at the feet of the roaring and spinning dragon species.

"... even I'm stronger for your husband!!"

Like a ball slapped by a stick, the two blew up with a no-bound and clashed against the wall of the room.

"Hey..."

Gracia distorts her expression stunningly to the likeness of Beldia beyond her imagination.

Elphiszark does not miss the great gap that consciousness has turned to elsewhere and made Gracia.

A fist wrapped in magic leaves the sound behind and heads to Gracia.

"-"

The moment his fist hits him, Gracia's figure disappears instantly.

At the same time, it appeared behind the blind spot of Elphiszark.

from behind, was Gracia reaching out to Elphiszark,

"... you need to be quiet for a moment"

"but bah!?"

He shook back Grung and was struck in the cheek by the back fist unleashed by Elphiszark, which blew up as he spit blood.

To an unexpected back fist, he can't even take a passive, and Gracia rolls down the ground.

……………

After a glimpse of Gracia lying down on the ground groaning, Elphiszark turned his gaze to Abel and Fey.

The two had already healed their wounds by Musbel's healing magic and were fighting Beldia.

――

Before those two, Elphiszark interrupted at high speed.

"- Thunderbomb (Thunder Barrett)"

Thor fires a thunderstorm into it, but it was stopped by Beldia's braces.

Two opponents are replaced, as if to baton touch.

"Long time no see. Abel, Faye."

Elphiszark speaking graciously, but Abel and Faye do not answer.

With a facial expression falling off, just identify the target standing in front of you.

While he realizes how those two are doing, Elphiszark doesn't shut his mouth.

"You two were always together, and you were close. I still remember when my words and actions were always consistent and you and I worked hard to inspire me."

――――

Without even moving the facial muscles pickly, Abel and Faye strip their fangs toward the Lord.

- Purgatory bullets.

- Dead Swamp Bullet.

Flames and water.

The magic knitted by the two merges, making up a giant sphere.

Two sorceries far surpassing even advanced sorcery.

But that doesn't reach Elphiszark.

"It's a nostalgic move"

As the two sorceries combine, Elphiszark shoots a demonic eye into its center.

The magic of the line was so great that it vanished at the moment it was touched, that only one blow of it vanished easily.

"When fused, the magical connection. That was the weakness."

――!!

Abel and Faye, who are broken deep and tread on two legs.

At that moment when the collaboration between the two without a single thread of disturbance was slightly disturbed.

Elphiszark was packing the distance between them.

"-" Demon Arm/Broken "-"

Magic rushes from both arms, producing a total of ten giant nails.

"I was happy to meet you guys."

Ten shaken down claws mutilated both bodies at the same time.

Did your body set its limits to that attack?

Abel and Faye's body became ashes and fell to the ground without regenerating.

"Good night. Abel, Faye"

Inside the room, Elphiszark's words sounded quietly.

"Gu...... Musbellup!! What are you doing, heal me!!"

Gracia screamed as she crawled, breaking the aftertaste.

Following the words of the servant, Musbel hands down to exercise healing magic.

"-" Demon Legs/Windless Flashes ""

To block it, without a sound, Elphiszark appeared in front of Musbelle.

"- Musbelle"

――――

Labor-like, elphiszark kind words.

"I can always remember the words of comfort you gave me. You pushed me back so I could step forward. That's why I couldn't stop myself."

With your enemies in front of you, still, Musbelle builds magic if you can't heal Gracia.

"Your magic... isn't what you got to heal someone like that, is it?

Staring at Musbell, Elphiszark smiles sadly.

And with a kick wrapped in magic, he slammed Musbell's torso.

"- Thank you, Musbelle"

No sound, Musbell turns to ash.

To Sarah and the ashes that fell to the ground, Elphiszark bit his lips.

"- Electric Thunder Squeeze Chain (Bolt Chain)"

Along with a flat chant, chains built of thunder instantly approach Elphiszark.

Elphiszark, who was dropping his gaze on the floor, did not even show the bare gesture to avoid, and was tied up in chains.

"Come on... I got you, Master Elphiszark"

…………

"It is the boulder that instantly destroyed all three of the dolls, but no more sacrifices are acceptable"

Gracia clamps as she holds her swollen cheeks.

Berdia, who was engaged to Thor, had been bounced off by lightning and driven to the corner of the room.

"Stronger? Why do you not realize that pride stands in the way of Master Elphiszark? The dragon is like a dragon, and if you shut up and fly through the sky, give me something good."

Gracia mocks Berdia for her distressed look at the power of thunder.

For a long time, Gracia didn't like the presence of that dragon.

Because he is a pet, he follows Elphiszark closely, begs for food humbly, and even shallow.

It has a negative impact because it has intelligence halfway through.

But that ends today, too.

Making it an unspeakable doll would be far more useful than it is now as a vehicle.

Gracia laughing so damn much, but I was uncomfortable with Beldia's attitude.

…………

There is no rush for that expression when the Lord says it is bound in chains.

On the contrary, sadly, he had his red eyes pointed at Tor.

"You, what's that face?"

"... you haven't seen anything"

To Gracia, who doesn't understand, Beldia gives a pitiful look.

It was time for Gracia to be so overwhelmed by that attitude.

"- Thor. You were smart and strong."

Elphiszark's words echoed in the room.

He has a merciful gaze toward Thor, remaining tied up.

"We properly identified the war situation under any circumstances and you were striking your best hand. How many times have you been helped by that tactical eye? And you didn't miss your workout. You used the magic of thunder to the extreme, and finally you were up to the Four Heavens King."

Elphiszark drops his gaze on the chain that binds him.

"That's why... it would be mindless"

――――

"Your power was never to this extent."

Bakin, and the sound sounds.

A powerful elphiszark arm was pulling the chain apart easily.

"You've always been there for me. I will not forget that dedication. I'll never forget your words."

Unbind and Elphiszark releases his demonic eye.

"-" Devil's Eye/Ashes Explosion ""

Thor's defense didn't make it.

Nor is my lifelong judgment demonstrated now that I have become a doll.

It was therefore inevitable to defeat Elphiszark.

――――

The red lotus prison flame swallowed Thor's body, just before it.

"Dear Elphiszark,"

its mouth that shouldn't move,

"We were happy to serve you."

Thor smiled as if he had lived.

"-... eh. Yeah, me too"

And the red lotus swallowed the toil.

"Thank you. Farewell, Thor"

When the world stained red with the roar and the light went out, there was nothing left there.

The dead are gone.

All that remained were three of the living.

"Bye... fool, yeah. I don't know how much Elphiszark is dealing with, but my doll is so, so light..."

One of them was unnecessarily wolfish.

Those four dolls, no matter how underestimated, should have had more than two warriors for the Four Heavens.

Because the presence of the four was one of Gracia's proud trump cards.

"Don't you see, Gracia?"

Elphiszark has the answer to that question.

Even Beldia had noticed it from the beginning.

The only thing you don't realize is that you don't look at others, Gracia.

"Even in corpses, the four of them were certainly strong. But it was a strong will that made them strong enough. There's no way you can take that away from me and unleash your lifetime's power."

"... eh"

"And... did you think that I didn't grasp my men's weaknesses? I know more about the power of the Four than anyone else in the world. There's no way a manipulated attack would work on me."

It's a simple story.

Elphiszark grasps the strength of the four more than anyone else.

There is no such thing as a street for four people who have lost their will from the beginning to come true to her.

Dolls that have only been repaired on the table will not reach Elphiszark.

"Something like this..."

So, Gracia's the only one left.

My men are knocked out of the room, and I don't even have to call for backup by the junction they put up in the room.

More than that, Gracia can't stand being cornered at the hands of her loved ones.

"Dear Elphiszark!! I did it all for you!! Why don't you understand that!? So much, how can you not understand that I love you!? Wake up, please!! I'm not the one you should be hostile to!! Ortegia deceiving useless Beldia, the lowly brave, the king!! Will you also know!?"

In tears, Gracia cries out for her legitimacy and the unknown of Elphiszark.

Point at Beldia and stand up hysterically.

Elphiszark's knowledge of Gracia was a far cry.

But in the course of thirty years, Gracia did not undergo transformation.

From the beginning, I stood next to myself with this idea, this idea, in my chest.

The only difference is whether or not it's on the table without putting it on the table.

"Now... I can't point out to Io what the eyes look like."

groaning to mock himself,

"Why don't you understand?"

"... Yes?

"I am not a doll that moves as you wish, Gracia"

To that word that thrusts away, Gracia, which ceases to exist.

After a moment of silence,

"Funny...!! Who do you think I've lived for so far? Aah!!"

Gracia exclaimed in a tall voice.

The usual calm and silent appearance is no longer dusty.

The way I shook my hair and screamed was only described as a madman.

"" Losing Magic (Lost Magic) - Momentary Disappearance (Shinji) "Uhhhhh!!"

And Gracia disappeared.

During the blink, he moves all over the room leaving a remnant behind.

She has shown me so many times before, it's instantaneous travel.

"Come on!! Can you see me, Master Elphiszark!!"

Gracia's voice is heard from all over the room.

It is nearly impossible to capture its appearance with your eyes as it moves endlessly indoors.

- Loss of magic, instant disappearance -

It can instantly appear anywhere in the user's sight.

With this witchcraft, Gracia went up to the Four Heavens.

"Me!! With this hand, I will punish you!!"

A vast amount of magic gathers in both hands of Gracia, who repeatedly travels instantaneously.

It was the wand that was shaped by magic.

"" Dance, Struggle (Leviataine) ""

Depths handed down from generation to generation to the Leviataine lineage, which lists the two letters of the struggle.

It is a tremendous sorcery that destroys enemies by condensing their magic into canes and releasing them at once.

"Let's get this over with. Dear Elphiszark!!"

And Gracia showed up behind Elphiszark.

Beldia can't chase him with her eyes and hasn't noticed Gracia appearing behind the Lord.

Neither can Elphiszark himself be aware of Gracia.

so concluded with an already calm head, trying to wave down "dance, struggle,"

"The fool."

Along with such a voice, Elphiszark disappeared from sight.

At the same time as he opened his eyes in amazement, a tremendous shock ran from behind and Gracia was slapped to the ground.

The cane of both hands will be fogged by its impact.

…… ……!?

Gracia looks up, distressed by the pain in her back.

Look, with the kick rolling out, Elphis Zark was looking at this one.

"hey... what?"

"Your magic has its faults. At the same time as it disappears, a faint magic appears where it appears"

"Nah............"

"I just need to use the Devil's Eye to see where you appear."

Gracia's raised head had forgotten her witchcraft weakness.

A normal girlfriend would never make a fatal mistake.

It is inevitable that it happened because it lacks calm.

"Gracia."

Elphiszark's eyes glow red.

"Wow, I am!! Ever since, for Lord Elphiszark......"

"I told you so."

blocking the words of misery,

"- I don't want to do that."

Elphiszark activates the Demon Eye.

"I am, I am, uh-huh."

A screaming Gracia was swallowed by the hell of Red Lotus.
