Episode XI: The Demon King

- The battlefield presented a hell of a look.

The Allied forces were badly damaged by the magic of “Rain” Lefiese Gregoria.

The Royal Army is in a state of devastation, drawn to it, and the Sub-Army is also forced to take a disadvantage.

The Imperial Army maintains equilibrium where it is at stake, but if reinforcements come to the enemy, it will soon collapse, too.

An explosion occurs by witchcraft, and meat chunks pour down like rain.

Running through the earth wet with blood, the Allies and the Demon Kings increase the amount of blood they shed even more.

Of these, the only dominant is the Church National Army.

Kick off the demon clan the Saints push over and move on one after the other.

It is Maria Theresia Stragen, who bears humanity's strongest name, who is fighting at its head.

"No way, not now."

Standing in the most powerful front of humanity, Lefiese Gregoria had a bitter look on her face.

Maria had surpassed the more than a thousand sorceries unleashed by Lefise only with her sword moves and holy singing sorcery.

Naturally, Maria is not intact either.

The pale silver armor is engraved with countless scratches, some with cracks.

From his torn forehead, blood was overflowing, and his white skin was red and polluted.

But none of that has led to fatal injuries, and Maria still leaves room.

"What's up? Is this the end of the rain?

"Bullshit. I haven't shown you the truth about the rain yet, have I?

To Maria's provocation, Lefiese returns with a mockery.

In previous attacks, it is true that Maria could not be brought to an end.

But Lefiese is intact against Maria, who was slightly injured.

Against Lefise, who is levitating in sorcery, Maria mainly flies slaughter and strikes.

But all slaughter is scratched out by the rain of sorcery, and once enough, it has not reached Lefise.

Maria's power deserves stunning, but not so much that she can't be defeated.

If we keep releasing magic like this, we'll do our best any day.

It was time for Lefiese to set up the next magic trick.

――――

Rear - From the castle of the demon king, magic erupted so much that his spine froze.

It becomes a pitch-black light, breaking through the ceiling of the Demon King's Castle and stretching high toward heaven.

At the same time, Lefiese felt the power of “rain” sway tremendously.

"No way."

The power of “rain” cannot be used without the permission of the contemporary Demon King.

Naturally, Lefise is allowed to use her powers by Orteguia.

Nonetheless, the fact that the power of “rain” has shaken -,

"- Master Orteguia!!"

Having detected the anomaly of the Lord, Lefise immediately interrupted the exercise of his sorcery.

to Orteguia, tries to metastasize by magic, but

"You think you're gonna let me go?

I froze myself in the voice I heard from behind me.

"-" God can only give you a transcendental trial (Arise Glori) ""

Looking back, trying to distance yourself from Maria with the magic of the wind,

"Ugh!?"

Lefiese hit the wall with momentum.

"What..."

Looking back, Lefiese opened her eyes.

During the blink, Lefise was imprisoned in the junction.

Pure white walls cover all directions and all directions.

The sound of the battlefield, which had been heard until earlier, was now deafening.

It feels as if only this space has been isolated from the world.

"Huh."

Release magic, but pure white does not shake small.

To its robustness, Lefiese bites his teeth.

"It's no use. You can't get out of here."

Rin's voice echoes in a pure white space.

At the heart of the junction, Maria stood with an invincible grin.

"This is the best of all the holy singing magic I have been given. The effect is that you can force the enemy to fight one-on-one, front-to-front."

"-"

I've felt thin since Lefiese first attacked me.

Only the Patriarchate unharmed the attack of Lefise.

Only the Patriarchate has launched an attack as if it were only aimed at Lefiese.

That has now turned into certainty.

"Your purpose, your purpose..."

"- We will stop Lefiese Gregoria with all our might until the brave kill the demon king. That's what Melt gave us."

To Maria, who deepens her grin, Lefiese shrugs.

I won't let you.

"What would make Orteguia kill -!!"

Humanity's strongest - "Heavenly" Maria Theresia Stragen.

Four Heavenly Kings are the strongest - "Rain” Lefiese Gregoria.

During the pure white junction, the two clashed.

An enormous amount of magic ejected from the body of Elphiszark becomes a pillar of light and penetrates through the ceiling.

The two stood at the top of the Castle of the Demon King, without a fragment of the lid that collapsed, making a ragged and dry noise.

Orteguia noticed that it (...) had disappeared, hidden in his body by storage magic, sharply narrowing his golden eyes.

"I knew it was at Demon King's Castle when there wasn't my 'heart' in the void labyrinth. The question was, where is it? You wouldn't leave it to anyone else, you own it - apparently, my reading was a hit."

With Orteguia's gaze as nothing, Elphiszark laughs supernaturally.

From the beginning, Elphiszark's aim was one.

Night Orteguia's eyes with moves he knows won't make it through, reclaiming his own 'heart' that he would have hidden.

This was a bet.

If Orteguia had hidden it elsewhere, Lefise and others, there would not have been a winning chance for Elfiszark.

But Elphiszark won the bet.

Therefore, he returned as “Demon King” Elphiszark van Gildegard.

"It seems that Castle Demon King is beginning to recognize me as the Lord who has regained his power."

Orteguia and Elphiszark.

On both bodies, only half a dozen red Demon King prints run.

The throne formerly monopolized by Orteguia called the "Demon King” was now being threatened by Elphiszark.

But.

- What's wrong with that?

With this degree of reverse play, Orteguia is unshakeable.

"Let's praise the wickedness of that habit that took the 'heart' away from me. On top of that, let's say. - What's wrong with that (...)"

Covering his entire body with magic, he lifts the Great Sword, says Orteghia.

"Whether you regain your power or not, you are no stranger to my power. Me and you, we've come to a conclusion a long time ago as to which one deserves the Demon King. Whatever happens, it doesn't change the fact that you're the loser I lost to."

This is just a reproduction of the past.

With that answer, Orteguia approaches Elphiszark with a mild leap.

You said, "You're no stranger to my power."

Looking at the fleshy Orteguia on his own, it is daunting for Elphiszark to float.

Orteghia saw those eyes shine red as hell.

Whatever Elphiszark does, he just needs to be slashed and torn with a great sword - -.

――

For a moment, the sky was in Orteguia's eyes.

Delay and realize that you are dancing the universe.

The magic armor that was wrapped around my whole body is unwrapped, my whole body is hot to burn.

"Stupid."

For the first time in decades, he felt pain and Orteguia understood.

that he was blown away by the demonic eye of Elphiszark.

"I've changed, Orteguia"

A voice reaches Orteguia's ear, landed and in shape.

"With a weakened body, I walked the world with my people. I learned a lot and gained a lot of experience. Unlike me back then when I was only pursuing my ideals in a narrow perspective,"

――――

"I'm stronger now than I was back then. On top of that, let's say. - My ideal is that there was no mistake."

There is no cloudiness or shaking in the eyes that tell you so.

"Right."

Orteguia squeaks briefly.

So, the conversation is over.

Without words to exchange, Orteghia sets up a great sword.

Elphiszark activated the demon eye - both clashed.

- From there it was undoubtedly a death fight.

The flames, the slaughter, the aurora, burst.

Severe magic involves the castle of the demon king and causes it to collapse.

Around the world with a weakened body, Elphiszark had an exceptionally improved treatment of “demons”.

A blind spot no longer exists for her, whose horizons have widened more than before.

“Ashes explosion” regains its original power, and "heavy crushing” shows enough force to distort even space.

Orteguia took it from the front.

I was struck by surprise and was attacked only once.

There is no blind spot in Orteguia, where you have abandoned all your guard.

Double-cut every demonic eye, take every demonic arm, and flush every demonic leg.

――――

Elphiszark crosses his demon arms over his own head.

In the center of it, the great sword of Orteguia was struck.

It sounds heavy, crushing the ground, and the impact is scattered.

――――

With his big sword in his arms, Elphiszark releases a kick on the flank of Orteguia.

Center of gravity on the Great Sword, Ortegear leaps behind Elphiszark, dodging the kick.

As he turned around, his demon arm and sword crossed, scattering a fierce spark.

"Huh."

To the power of the Great Sword, there is a scratch and blood in Elphiszark's arm.

Without letting her hair in, Orteghia waves a great sword at the horizontal giraffe.

Elphiszark, who uses his demonic legs and escapes over the sky.

In an attempt to slash him there, for a moment, Orteguia laid a great sword over his head.

Late, an invisible heavy pressure strikes there.

"-" Demon Eye/Heavy Crushing ""

But it was for a moment that Orteguia came under heavy pressure.

He wrapped his magic around the Great Sword and broke his heavy crushing by swinging it upward.

"- It's been a while since you've used this."

The voice that reaches the ears of Orteguia, who has become free.

Elphiszark had ascended far above Demon King Castle with his demonic legs.

Orteghia felt more magic concentrate all over her body than ever before.

"- Demon King's Eye/Ashes Blast Chain"

It's the Red Lotus Hell in a row.

Each “ash explosion” of a power comparable to the finest sorcery appears connected like a chain and surrounds Orteguia.

They burst in unison.

Together, it is so viciously destructive that it approaches the “Eclipse of Demonic Heaven" of “Hero Amato" -.

but

"Is this what this is?

Breaking through the flames, Orteghia reveals herself.

Orteguia is alive and well, even though he suffered burns all over his body.

Not to mention this one's turn, but to put the magic over Elphiszark's “ash blast chain” on the sword, slashing it and releasing it.

"Whether it's something like this or not, try it on its own"

――

"-" Demon King's Eye/Heavy Pressure Burial ""

Intercepting it is the turbid flow of heavy pressure that pours down as it cuts through the space.

Elphiszark has no reason to know, but the former Four Heavens "Warp" has the skill of cutting through space and crushing enemies in nothingness, mastered at the end of elephant magic.

“Heavy crushing burial” is more than equivalent - it cuts through space, creates nothingness, and falls if you don't swallow Orteguia.

A blow between demon kings intersects, and...

- Run.

Kick the demon that pushes over and just keep running up.

Apparently, Elfi won the bet.

The wave of magic that shook the castle would definitely be Elphi's thing that got the 'heart' back.

- Elfi.

Even now, the whole castle is shaking violently with the sound of destruction.

I suppress feelings of deviation, I just run.

To date, many simulations have been carried out to combat Orteguia.

Based on Orteguia thirty years ago, we are also roughly anticipating our chances of winning.

Forty percent.

The odds I predicted a full-bodied Elfi could beat Orteguia by himself.

Orteguia is the strongest man I've ever fought.

Above Elfi, up there.

That's why I wanted to create a situation where I could fight two-on-one.

"Well, you're not gonna make it."

Breaking through the wall, a bull-shaped demon tribe represented him.

Giant enough to look up, he sets out to run straight at me while involving other demons.

It dives into the gap between the legs and avoids it, slashing off both legs as they pass by.

I move on as I hear the demons fall to the ground with screaming.

My body is light.

Idler gave it to me. Is the ring effective?

Slash demons, slay demons, trap traps, and move on.

There are no longer stairs or doors that go up to what structure it is.

Shoot in the magic to destroy the ceiling and forcefully shortcut the debris to the scaffold.

The sound is approaching.

A little later.

A little later.

Breaking the ceiling many times, moving up.

I got to the roof.

- Moment after moment, a loud noise sounded and the sound stopped.

"Elfi......!

I screamed and stepped to the roof.

Most of the floors collapse and scaffolding is almost non-existent.

I can see the effect of a huge amount of magic bumping into each other, or the distortion of space.

There, there were two demons.

One of them is down on the floor and the other is looking down at it.

It was falling because

"... you won, Elfi"

- I was from Orteguia.

Slowly, Elfi looks back.

Cuts are carved all over the body and one arm is connected by a piece of skin.

There was a large cut on his face and Elfi's left eye was crushed.

"Oh."

Along with a flat voice, Elfi nodded.

"In the middle of the fight, I succeeded in getting my 'heart' back from Orteguia. From there, we hit each other with everything we could - I won."

"Yes..."

Unlike before, I haven't got my hands on anything.

Somewhere, I feel like I ate a shoulder watermark.

Run over to Elfi and use healing magic.

Water on the baking stone, but it would be better than no.

"All you have to do is take revenge on this guy and end the war"

Stand next to Elfi and look down at Orteguia.

Orteguia stays down and doesn't even move with Pickle.

"It was Iori who got here. Thanks to you."

Nodding at Elfi's words.

"... that was a long time"

I met Elfi at the Nara Labyrinth, and it's been over six months.

I can still remember the look on Elfi's face then, when he spoke of his hatred for Orteguia.

Now I can finally finish everything.

No, I can start.

"Oh, really, it was a long time. I can remember when I went out of the seal and met Io, like yesterday. I've been waiting for this hour ever since that day."

Elfi's words, with a sense of all things in mind.

"So Io. Let me thank you again. All thanks to you."

"You're overstating everything. Even you..."

Turn your gaze toward Elfi, who stands beside you.

Well, look at the look on your face.

I froze.

"- Thank you, Iori. Thank you very much."

Dossssssssss, and.

On the chest, there was a shock.

If I looked down, Elfi's arm was stabbed in the chest.

"Ohh..."

The feeling of vomiting creeping up, spitting it out by accident, it was bright red blood.

My own smell of iron spreads around me.

"Kufu"

Elphi is

"Your role is over."

That's what I said.
