The Road to One Day Be the Strongest

Shadow - 017 New Power

When I stepped down to the ground, I put my back wing back on.

The place is a meadow just outside the city, located on the broken wall side.

At the end of his gaze is Lucifer, who is steaming from his body and laying low on the ground, and his whole body is worn out even from the side, whether the earlier array worked quite well.

"Grrr... Grrr..., you mosquito bug..."

That's what he said, and when he managed to get up using his worn arm, he stared at me.

Those eyes were burning with hatred, and that was sharp enough to think that a cohort of humans would be able to shoot at it alone - from me, it just looked like a loser's bad scratch.

"Hey, if you focus poorly, you'll have trouble being arrogant."

Me and you.

When I whined inside, I turned Adams' sickle toward Lucifer.

"So it's time to end it"

- If you get arrogant, you fail.

I've tasted that on my own over and over again.

That is why we need to continue to provoke each other so calmly and always with great care when we are about to be arrogant, and on top of that we need to ensure that - we destroy our enemies.

Especially if it's this guy.

"Don't think you can get away with this, Lucifer. I'm still saving my strength. You run away, you raise your stats, you don't win a single shot."

I say so lightly. [M]

Lucifer, by contrast, devoured his giggly teeth, but immediately mocked him with a niggle on his face.

And...

"Gu, kuhahahahaha......, ha! Don't you get me wrong? I'm not the only one who's here today.

Moments, huge magic formations are created behind Lucifer, and at the same time immense magic overflows.

- Are you willing to call for chaos again!?

Because of its size, I accidentally stood up for it, but the light stopped.

"Ko, this is... ugh"

A bunch of demons spread out on one side of sight.

All of them are monsters above the 'SSS' rank, some of which can even be seen as error-grade monsters.

Besides...

"Master! I just detected a tremendous number of demons coming from the sea! Give me a little help... but you don't seem to give it to me..."

Sophia came running by me. [M]

She must have gone from port to see the sea because the sea is rare - but I didn't expect that to be fortunate. You don't know life.

"Sophia, the herd of those demons..."

"I'm sorry, but the rest of us are tight. Anyway, they're in the ocean. The rest is only a forest god, no matter how strong he is, and one way or the other, it's a support system. That many, knocking them out in the ocean..."

Ugh...... if you do say so.

It was called the creation of a junction and a good forest, some aspects I regarded as such because it was quite impressive, but she was only a supporter to assist in the fight, and the ability of the offensive system hardly holds it together enough to say.

I really can't let her do that, more than leave the ocean to me.

Well, the same thing about Dawn Ho. If you look like a wolf, your fur won't be able to suck water from underwater warfare or anything.

Then there are three of us left.

"Oh, those three... Sounds fine then."

What I recall is a brunette toddler and a gray-haired toddler. And that physically fuzzy Ponky Goddess.

When I breathe relief, I open my mouth towards Sofia.

"Sophia works with Dawn Ho to evacuate the city's inhabitants... I don't think we need them, so let everyone calm down as much as possible. Can you lightly add more trees and aromatherapy...... or something?

"None? It is possible to add some more trees to the city to give them a negative ion... but if you do too much, the nails will piss you off"

"Uh, then that's it. I just need you to take Nail and Millie and act for the three of us. And an escort."

"No! That's a good idea! Got it, master!

That's what Sophia says and runs out with her heels back.

- Looking back at me before that, I opened my mouth worryingly.

"I mean, it's better this way - but the rest of it's handy"

"Sophia."

When I call her by her name so that I can wear the words, I loosen my cheeks and gaze at her.

She opens her eyes and stares at me.

"You want to fight something else alone, or you have a grudge against Lucifer, or you're being arrogant. It's not like that."

That's what I say. I turn my gaze forward.

There's Lucifer with a nitanita and an arrogant grin and an army of demons spreading behind it.

I look up into the sky.

The sun had already set across the horizon, and when I saw it, I squirmed like this.

"Night...... right"

- Night.

Yes, at night.

Well, I might have been in a bit of a hurry under these circumstances if this had come during the day.

But this was also a Mephisto ploy, and Lucifer showed up at sunset quite a bit. If you do, it would make sense to be at night while you fight.

"Actually. I don't have Shadow Magic skills right now."

That's what I shrugged.

Shadow magic - synonymous with my, executor.

Sophia opened her eyes to the unusable word - but the next moment, she opened her eyes to the magic that overflowed from my body.

"'Shadowy Magic (...)'"

In a moment, a shadow surrounds me, and it spreads.

The shadow fills everything between me and the armies of those demons, and the next moment, its shadow spreads in an instant.

"" - Huh!?

Sophia and Lucifer eyeing the sight.

There he was - an army of ghosts filling the meadows.

All of them are kneeling down to me, and I remember the name of that ability I haven't used in a long time.

"" The Hundred Demons Night Industry "- it has the disadvantage that you can only use it at night, just like the Hundreds of Nights, but its strength draws a line. That ghost is literally 'one thousand'"

That's what I said. I tried to be cool.

"So I told you. Hannah can't beat you."

Yes, I taught Lucifer something called 'reality'.

A dozen minutes later.

Lucifer wiped the ball-like sweat from her forehead with her hem.

I knew at a glance - the threat of that ghost herd.

Undoubtedly that whole thing is an EX-ranked monster and it would be this current situation that proves it.

Lucifer looks around.

There are dead bodies of breathless ghosts who disappear and only a few fewer of these demons than there are.

That's simply because Lucifer joined us on the way, but if he didn't...

Thinking about it makes my spine cold.

"Ah......, did I lose"

That's how he was squealing. Gaku dropped his shoulder.

earlier hordes of ghosts. Somewhere in his heart he feared the man who could create it with one effort.

But his arrogance won't allow it.

(Hey, what a fool! The other guy used to look up at me with horrible eyes, free mosquitoes! What are you so weak about such a mutton fish!)

He assumes that half forcefully.

Reminds me of the arena that once struck me from mere whim.

One of the many others who was at the place. That's the man - the Gin-Crashbell - and not the kind of opponent you can struggle with by mistake.

"That's right! I'm better than you! Then what do you need to be afraid of? You seem to have summoned all the ghosts, but there are still many demons left! This is my overwhelming advantage!

Moments later, the magic surrounding his body swelled up, and Lucifer, realizing it, smiled niggardly.

"Yes, I am the sin of arrogance, Lucifer, fifth in the Great Devil's Sequence! If you're not arrogant, it's not me! No! I am the arrogance itself! If I am, I have no more defeats than I have this skill!

Skills - Sin of arrogance.

The more arrogant it is, the more capable it is. Moreover, the user is arrogant. Then what do you need to be afraid of?

- No, that doesn't exist.

Lucifer affirmed so, pulling up Nihi and the edge of his mouth.

"Come on, mosquito bugs! If you're gonna apologize for all the stupidity you've done, now's the time! I apologize for your disrespect, but it is my sin to be alive! Yes, if you're going to sit down, now is the time! Just crawl to the ground and fall down in front of an overwhelming strong man named me!

Ginn unwittingly lays down her face when she hears that.

I saw that. Lucifer gets even more arrogant when I'm concerned.

"Huhahahahaha! Apparently you noticed a difference in strength from me too! He seems stunned in front of the overwhelming groove, woohoo, where did he disappear to that point he was in good shape by then!? You're too stupid to laugh, you mosquito bug!

Yes, he burst out laughing.

It's not exactly a laugh. It's a "blast."

His status was further strengthened by the word, and...

"Knock, knock, puff... Oh, no, I'm sorry. I was going to put up with you for a second... Gu, I've been going after you for a long time... hey, it hurts my stomach, seriously what are you talking about..."

He was laughing more than that.

Lucifer was stunned by the way he looked, but at the next moment, he would open his eyes to words emanating from his mouth.

"Um, so it's okay to get more strength, right?

"............ what?

I didn't understand what that meant.

My brain can't keep up with that word - no, I refuse to catch up. Don't give yourself any more nightmares, he said.

But I guess instincts alone could not be deluded. Lucifer opens her mouth like she said no way.

"Are you telling me that you were not an obedient demon, but a subpoena!? Besides, he suppressed his powers with an array!?

"... I don't know what you're talking about, but, well, if you can really magic it, you can get to about an error level step ahead of you. I've never done it, and I'm not gonna do it."

- It's sloppy.

That's what he said.

Aren't you going to do it? Dull?

Unexpectedly, Lucifer opened her eyes and solidified, but shortly afterwards, a far greater amount of magic blew out than the earlier sole.

"Seems pretty tired now...... can you stand the next one?

Moment after moment, the same shadow covered the meadow as earlier, at the same time numerous signs of the same scale as earlier - and four huge signs appeared.

"Here's one thing. Scorpions, dragons, dolls, ghosts, and skeletons. Now, what's this combination?

He walks in and out of that shadow with tech.

But Lucifer's gaze is not for him, in his dark shadow. He stared at the four shadows in it with his eyes open to their limits.

And when he saw it, he smiled.

"The right answer was the strongest I've ever fought - the first five bodies."

Moments, shadows clear.

Lucifer was stunned to see the sight.

More 'ghosts' than earlier.

A giant 'scorpion' wrapped around a black shadow.

A 'dragon' wrapped around a shadow that makes red eyes shimmer.

Long-haired 'doll' dressed in shadowy black armor.

And - let's claw, the giant black 'skeleton'.

It's the first mighty enemies in his memory.

First, I fought a scorpion.

Next, he fought the Black Dragon.

Next, he fought a doll with long hair.

Next, relative to the red ghost.

And manipulated them, fought the skeleton.

They were all far superior to themselves.

By then there were no 'enemies' that were so strong and above all impressive, and when creating a new 'shadow family', he created those four bodies without hesitation.

"Shadow Scorpion King, Shadow Dragon King, Shadow Machine King - and Shadow Bone King"

He calls each name.

as if to echo them. They roared, and at the forefront of it he -

"This is my new power - The Shadow Army."

That's what I said, I laughed and showed it to you.
