Tsuihou Sareta Bannou Mahou Kenshi wa, Koujou Denka no Shishou Tonaru

There was only one Father Gapon standing before us.

There are no other soldiers.

Claire sets up a military knife and stares at Gapon with an angry look.

"How awful you looked at me earlier."

"Rebels deserve to be treated."

"The Military Intelligence Service has not shut up. Besides... you think you can handle the three of us by yourself?

I pulled out my magic sword, too, and I gave Lucy my wand.

Lucy nodded and received it.

There's no way an ordinary priest can confront a soldier, a magic swordsman and a great magician on his own.

But...

Gapon knocked the cross of his chest toward heaven.

Then the marble in the halls of the Ministry of the Army and Navy burst out and began to form one form.

Huge divine statue made of marble.

That showed up in front of me and slowly started walking.

"Look. This is the power of the Demon King."

I see.

Gapon was involved in a plan to revive the Demon King and tried to turn Lucy into a subordinate.

If that's the case, it's no surprise you're using the powers of the Demon King.

Claire also said that if you harness the power of a fully resurrected Demon King, even a mere soldier can be strengthened into a presence with powerful magic.

Although the Demon King has not yet regained all his power, it would still be easy to give special power to one gapon.

I laughed when I saw the statue in front of me.

Perhaps this must take the place of Gapon to fight.

but no matter what you think, it was a polytheistic god believed in the ancient kingdom.

It was a strict statue of a male god, a god believed to be a sun god because of the characteristic of wearing a laurel crown and having a cane.

On the other hand, the Imperial Church originally forbade idolatry. In other words, the God of the Church today does not exist such as a statue of its likeness.

"I wonder how the Imperial Church priesthood is allowed to invoke pagan statues. Besides, I use the power of the Demon King"

"God protects those who go the right way. Whatever means you use."

Together with Gapon's voice, the number of statues occasionally increased to ten, expanding to surround us.

One of them waved his wand down.

It's a marble wand, so of course you can't just hit it directly.

I enchanted and flashed the treasure sword Tetracord.

The marble cane was shattered and scattered on the spot.

I look back at Lucy.

"Me and Claire can prevent the attack."

Copy that.

When Lucy laughed, she raised her cane high.

The second and third blows of the enemy were launched, but I shrugged Lucy without difficulty.

It's just that Claire's sword muscles are getting suspicious.

Claire can't use magic, she can only prevent marble attacks, and she can't fight back.

The marble god statue claired and waved down his wand once more, and Claire managed to take it, but finally fell apart in a mellow position.

At the next moment, another statue of God shook her fist down.

"Claire!"

I held Claire in my arms, waved the sword with my other hand, and destroyed my fist.

"Shh, excuse me"

"Never mind."

Claire was blushing and looking up at me.

Originally Claire is weakened by the effects of torture, and no more fighting would be possible.

It's time to settle.

Though, I can't crack things down on my own.

My favor is Lucy.

"Let the fake gods disappear!

A scorching flame rolled up from the wand with Lucy's words.

Everything in a sizeable space sparked enthusiasm and I wondered for a moment if I would burn myself too.

That's how high Lucy's flaming magic firepower is.

When Lucy waved her wand, the flames burned to the statue of God, and changed color in blue and white.

In an instant all ten idols melted and vanished without a trace.

"Marble is something that is vulnerable to fire. It melts easily. That was a bad idea."

"You mean that's Lucy the Crimson"?

Gapon didn't look like he moved, and he patted his fingers.

Once again, the marble deforms and the statue of the divine is created.

"No matter how many times you do it, it's the same thing."

Lucy said confidently away.

That's right.

It should be.

Whether we produce the statue of God again, we're done being burned down by Lucy's flames.

But would Gapon act completely meaningless?

I looked up at the ceiling as a hack.

"Up there! Dr. Lucy!"

A statue of a god created with the power of a demon king.

The marble from which it was made is part of this hall.

And if you produce too many god statues, naturally, there will be cracks in the building itself.

From the missing ceiling, Lucy fell countless stones over her head.

Lucy let the flame magic unfold quickly and burned down some of the rocks coming down from above.

I also bounce back the attack on the god statue and cover Lucy.

But at the same time, the unity of the statue of God was looming close to Claire.

I double-crossed the statue of the god attacking Claire with a knife to give back, but at that moment Lucy was attacked by both the stone coming down from above and the hand of the god statue.

Unpreventable, Lucy was immediately attacked by the statue of God and removed the wand. Take further pursuit there.

"Ahhhhh!

With a tall scream, Lucy was bounced up to the wall, and underneath the falling stone.

I felt my own blood draw.

In a hurry I ran over to Lucy, covering Claire.

Lucy seemed to have nothing to do with her life, but she was falling down on her depression, with her lower body underneath a stone.

I can't move with this.

"I'm sorry, Solon. I was going to show you something cool as a master..."

"The teacher has worked well enough. I could never burn down all those god statues. I'm going to stone you now."

Lucy shook her head sideways.

"You and Claire, run away."

"You can't do that!

"I broke my leg in the attack earlier. Even if I go with you, I just get my feet together"

"But..."

"One last favor. Now lend me your magic sword."

I was told, I gave Lucy my magic sword.

Lucy's crimson eyes glowed brightly.

The next moment, a great flame of momentum was unleashed from the magic sword.

That was many times more firepower than when we defeated the statue.

Those flames go straight to Gapon.

Erased the statue of the god and Gapon was also engulfed in flames.

Gapon had deployed a magic barrier just before.

It would be something that used the power of the Demon King, so Gapon would be able to defend himself, but he wouldn't be able to move for a while.

The flames continued to spread violently, even penetrating holes in the building.

But after using the magic, Lucy was as neat as a shaved doll.

"Now I've used all the magic. When that flame goes out, Gapon will try to attack you, and other soldiers may come. So run."

"But..."

"Glad to be here to help. Thank you so much. I'm sure I'll never forget Solon, even if he's made me king of demons."

That's what Lucy said, she smiled beautifully.

I tried to say I shouldn't give up, but I thought about the current situation.

Even Claire is injured and already incapacitated.

Lucy can't move, it takes time to get rid of the stones, and even if she can help, she can't even walk.

I can't help Lucy right now.

"Solon, go quickly! Because this is an order as a master."

"... Huh!

I got my magic sword from Lucy, and I thought.

Do you want to take Claire away from here, or do you want to stay and help Lucy?

I was forced to make a decision.
