"Determination seems stiff... but it doesn't change that it's Tsu's way. In some cases, even those who don't follow Croix's will will will come out...... no, that's for sure"

Eluas stared straight at Croix when he prefaced so,

"If Croix stood as Demon King, the eastern ones I rule would rebel... no matter, I'm going to suppress it but I don't know what will happen"

"Isn't that the same thing I did?

"No, Croix will have the means. Curb the unwilling, the trump card."

Means - is that about the eighty-nine, Croix character? Again, after he finds out everything, he's in his seat.

"We know that's the last resort..."

I'm not going to exercise it.

Croix grinned bitterly after throwing the words of so denial.

"... If you know what I mean, let's stop the bogged down expressions, Eluaz. Apparently you have a clear rationale."

"Right. Having stepped into the demon kingdom and brought reinforcements, I wondered... so I checked it out for myself. As a result, information close to certainty… I learned that Croix was the son of an earlier demon king"

Eluas, who spoke, once crois or out of sight,

"But Croix is not going to make it public...... does that mean a separation from the previous demon king?

"That's right. Plus those I asked for as reinforcements... you can think of their cooperation as a sign of readiness."

"Separate, huh? That must be one answer to what we've been doing…"

Breathtaking Eluaz. And he put his hands together on the table.

"I understand your thoughts... myself, indeed Croix's thoughts... if you push your ideals forward, a bright future may await you. Careless, but the events that trigger it… there is also a battle available against the existence of 'God'. I think it's a good answer."

"But we can't just talk about it...?

"Right. Whatever the form, I guess I'll just have to do it once...... So, Rude, can you stand one up for me?

"Yes."

One hit or... When this one sees Croix, he says, "It's okay,"

"Then let's try to do it quickly. Let's hope this is the last battle -"

Outside the mansion was a spacious garden, where Croix and Eluas were to confront each other.

"It's a lot more plain for a final match."

"Totally."

Eluas agrees with Croix's allegations.

"But this is fine... I don't need anything flashy"

"Shouldn't you let your men know how you settled for it?

"It's all right because you're mounting a promise to leave it to me."

... Actually, it's like pushing the opposite off and forcing you to convince me.

How did Eluas interact with his men...... although there were doubts, this differs from the main point of view, and now we have to put it aside?

Croix pulls out his sword. to go with it. Eluas also pulled out his sword again,

"I'd like to avoid a fancy battle that could be damaging to the surroundings... but the people in this room are going to be able to do something about it even if we get busted."

"Right."

Croix agrees. Boost your magic with it.

Eluas also echoes...... a very quiet beginning, unlike previous fights. When Rude stands in a referee-like fashion between the two,

"That this battle will not end the battle for the Demon King... Start!

With Rude's voice, Croix and Eluaz move out as if they had been played. Both blades clashed and the metal sounded heavenly.

The clash is... antagonistic. It was imminent, and neither of them would retreat a single step.

- As for Croix, what is more of a problem than not knowing what way Eluaz fights? On the other hand, it is likely that Eluas was observing the battle of Croix in a rather small way, and should be considered to possess information and so on. I may have measures in place, and Croix would be at a disadvantage if it did,

"Is power battle mutual?"

Eluaz shrugs as he emits the meshing sound of a critical and blade.

"Compared to the powers of his predecessors, though, I might say not yet."

"The power of the earlier demon kings can also be said to be the righteousness of destruction… it is true that it was so much a threat by now"

After Croix responds, he retreats once to get his posture in order. Eluas did not set up, but showed a structure that would keep an eye on how things were going.

"I can't embody that horror, not even in El Asus. Not to mention Amel and Bizel."

"Oh, sure."

Ahmel continues. And El-Ass was also the chief,

"I don't know if a being with that much power will come from the Demons in the future... the Demons who possess incredible power from the humans, but those who possess as much power as His Majesty and his men, that was the lesser"

Glimpse at me or Sophia, Eluaz says.

"Bizel probably tried to compensate for his power by means of a weapon... but since he also had the idea of inheriting His Majesty's will, the weapon would have been directed to the world sooner or later... his body would tremble, considering its sacrifice"

Eluaz breathed heavily as he spoke.

"I did not intend to inherit His Majesty's will. I've only spoken to Bizel once, but this was the decisive difference. On second thought, that discussion might have led Bizell to focus on weapons manufacturing as the one who had to destroy me."

"... What does Eluaz think of the battle caused by the previous Demon King?

Eluaz smiled somewhere mocking at Croix's inquiry,

"Never have feelings to affirm… some of my men have radical thoughts like Bizel. That's what His Majesty tried to accomplish. Even if I don't know what that means, the grief must be accomplished... there are those who have such delusional thoughts in my men"

"But El-Ass didn't make it good."

"Maybe it made sense, but I thought I shouldn't have stepped in myself unless I understood it... if it was necessary... I wonder what I should do"

"- It's Mr. Leon who's trying to carry on that battle."

To the word, Eluaz looks out.

"What?

"The actions of the predecessor Demon King are about 'God' … there is not clear evidence, but at least there is a verse where the predecessor Demon King was trying to gain power over 'God'"

"A being that destroys the world...? Did His Majesty think it was a necessary sacrifice to defeat, even at the expense of one continent?

"Or maybe just an ego?

"Ego?"

"Not human, but to protect our compatriots... we had to accomplish it at the expense of others to save our compatriots," he said.

Eluas will be silent - if he realizes it, it has been a continuation of the discussion, not a duel.

But there's no sign that the two of them will wear swords. The fight will resume sooner or later...... I don't know what will happen to that win or loss, but now all I had to do was pray for Croix to win.
