Naberius made no sacrifices. Nevertheless, he succeeded in descending the demon. The price was never small.
Although it has been demonized, its essence is a human body. No matter how much the Great Demon can fully handle the body of a demon. The consciousness of a demon spirit that is here now——even if it was only a small part of it, there was no chance that there would be no repercussions. Because he had not made any sacrifices earlier, Naberius’s body was disintegrating in real time.
But it was all planned.
Because, all the sacrifices he had prepared would be offered with utmost sincerity. After the devil eats them, they will be affected together and the collapse of the body will naturally stop.
“I responded to the call to my busy body in a million miles from the station… … Didn’t you have a pretty interesting game?”
Everything was forcibly silent. As if time had stopped, silence filled the cavity. Amid the overwhelming pressure, the choking and suppressed breathing sounds intermittently erupted. It was Ezio’s.
“… … Hmm.”
Naberius, no, the demon caressed his chin.
“you… … 」
His blood-red eyes were ripped apart. Facing the distant pupil, Ezio felt an indescribable fear. It was a feeling I had never felt before. Goosebumps rise on the back of the spine.
Conversely, the latent divinity raged like wildfire. He twisted his body as if to crush it in the rising hostility. A faint light flickered along the outline of the body. But in the end, the light never dispelled the darkness.
“What the hell did you make?”
The demon’s tone was heavy in itself.
Every time he heard each letter, he felt as if he would dig beneath the ground, as if his whole body was crushed under a heavy weight.
“What kind of bomb did you make… … . It’s also a very powerful time bomb. Even if you don’t touch it, it will explode on its own after a suitable time has elapsed.”
The fuse is already on fire.
The effects of the explosion are visible.
The moon will disappear from the world forever.
“What is the arrangement for… … 」
about that
The demon seemed to sigh.
“You are trying to put an end to this.”
The demon pulled the tip of his chin upward.
The bloody pupils pointed towards the common ceiling. The weight contained in the somewhat pathetic tone was slightly less than before.
“Heh heh heh heh… … ”
“Collock, Collock… … ”
Thanks to that, Rubia and others were able to breathe normally for a while. Repeat inhalation and exhalation respectively. Nevertheless, the pressure on the extremities including the neck did not disappear at all.
“The spirit and the flesh are useless. Being so weak and weak is not a bridle that can be tolerated. Somehow it seems to be rolling. It’s really strange… … 」
Tock, tock.
The demon stopped at Ezio’s close proximity.
He shook his head and looked down.
“It is usually commendable that the spirit that deserves to have collapsed immediately is holding up. However… … Even that, twenty years would be the limit. Ten years at this rate. That’s just the limit line… … Anything can be advanced But, you look like you don’t understand what you’re saying at all.”
Mashin personally informed me.
“You are talking about the rest of your life. He’s such an idiot.”
“!”
Yuri, Mew, Rubia, Stella.
You shook your body.
“Come to think of it.”
In a space swallowed up by endless darkness.
Those who were slowly encroaching on them, the demon looked back at them.
“… … A sacrifice, huh?”
Naberius’s body is collapsing every moment. It’s crumbling from your fingertips. If you don’t absorb the deity of the sacrifice quickly, you’ll be forever late.
But the demon didn’t do that.
The latent consciousness of Naberius was quietly listening to the fervent cry.
After a while, the demon with the face of Naberius raised his eyebrows at an angle.
“Use these as sacrifices to lay the foundation for the revival of the demon realm… … is this the Naberius.”
A demon who disappeared after the defeat.
No, I didn’t even participate in the war directly from the beginning, but… … The ardent followers of demon gods still remained even while the demon realm was being handed over to humans, and they supported their only god in various places.
Naberius was one of them.
A faithful member of the Demon Church (魔神敎).
At the same time, he wanted to gain recognition again after being abandoned by the main god, and at the same time, he wanted to contribute to the revival and reconstruction of the demon realm by removing factors that might become a big hindrance in the future.
“Indeed… … 」
In an instant, the demonic spirit revealed a certain color in the pupil.
It is–colorless.
Like an inanimate object, an inorganic gaze pierced the air. Eyes drenched in utter boredom. A voice comes out through the gaps in the lips.
“Indeed… … You have done something useless.”
That moment.
The latent consciousness of Naberius flew wildly.
Stella, who had an intuition that everything was over with the appearance of the demon god, widened her eyes as if she couldn’t believe it.
“It seems that you still haven’t realized the reason why you didn’t acknowledge you in the end, Naberius. ——This ignorant ignorant bastard.”
Why, why—— A desperate cry pounded through the inside, but the demon continued without a single move.
“There are countless things you overlooked, but if I could pick just one thing that was the most stupid and stupid… … 」
The demon bows his head.
I see Ezio again.
“You cannot take their divinity yourself.”
Cross one square and look down at Mew. It was very bittersweet to see him staring at the demon with his pupils pointing upwards, as if he was trying to resist until his strength was exhausted.
“Didn’t you say it was a bomb? It will explode as soon as you touch it. That must be what Hyperion really intended. So, I will not and cannot take your orders… … 」
Innumerable twists and turns like worms chasing a bright fire.
voluntarily set it on fire.
It draws out all the demons who have been secretly hiding in the human world by being drawn to the prey that boasts a brighter color than anyone else.
Then, although the flame would gradually fade away, it would burn until the very end and set fire to everything around it, but eventually the embers would be extinguished one day.
“In other words, Naberius, you are trying to kill yourself. It moved according to the will of the sun. This is no different than an act of denying one’s own will.”
It’s not even reasonable——how dare I—— Naberius’ consciousness begged for mercy, but the Demon God didn’t even acknowledge it.
“noisy.”
I made my decision calmly.
Suddenly, he frowned as he looked at the fingertips of his body, which had begun to fall apart and collapse into crumbs like grains of sand.
“Shut up. useless things.”
Lord God–
That was Naberius’ last cry.
“It’s quiet now.”
It’s like squeezing an ant with your finger.
I crushed my consciousness and burst it.
──So, Naberius was dead.
Stella’s enemies have completely disappeared. He hid himself forever from the world. Revenge was half done. Since she couldn’t kill herself with her own hands, it would never be called perfect revenge… …
“… … Alright, let’s talk about it.”
The demon sat down calmly while his hands and feet were crumbling. It wasn’t even my body. Above all, I had no intention of staying here any longer.
“Ah, yes.”
Everyone’s complexion is dull.
The demon snapped his fingers.
OK.
“Heh heh, heh. Heh heh.”
“Ouch, huh. Coke, Coke… … ”
Rubia groaned on the ground and vomited. Mu drooled from the corners of his mouth and showed his expressive eyes. Ezio hurriedly pulled back, trying to protect everyone, alerting the Transcendent. Yuri got down on her knees and tried to approach the corpse of someone who was sitting down. However, because the demons are staring at them, they cannot move freely.
Stella… …
“We… What are you going to do?”
It’s an unbelievable fact.
Giving respect to the demon who seemed friendly at first glance, but on the other hand, he asked carefully, without lowering his vigilance.
「Um-? didn’t you just say doesn’t kill can’t kill then… … We are just talking.”
The drink didn’t respond like that.
“More than that… … you.”
cremated.
The demon’s expression wrinkled.
Stella took a step back for a moment at the sudden change.
“stellar. Back off.”
“… … Ezio.”
Maybe the Magi, who went beyond the limit, made him come to his senses? Or was it that even the god who had been running wild at will have finally put to sleep? Even in front of the demonic demon in the form of an abomination, Ezio maintained his rationality and stood tall with his arms covered as if to protect Stella.
I don’t know if the artifacts will work. Of course, even if Aegis’ shield is deployed, it doesn’t seem like it will be able to withstand the blows of the demon god.
However, the demon was reluctant to take his own life. If that is the case, blocking it with your own firearms will be a sufficient means of deterrence.
“Yuri, you too.”
“… … ”
Yuri didn’t seem to be able to fully understand all of this. When Naberius’ consciousness disappeared, Eidel’s corpse naturally stopped moving. It literally became a corpse. Yuri looked at him with trembling eyes and was only biting her lips.
Ezio grabbed Yuri’s shoulder.
Yuri’s body staggered helplessly.
“… … ”
The color formed on the red pupil he met suddenly was pale and cloudy. He seemed to have gone out of his mind after experiencing so much shock and confusion at the same time. Probably… It seemed meaningless to offer words of comfort.
“… … ”
“… … ”
Rubia and Mew also stood up, taking a vigilant stance. The mu didn’t jump out as blindly as before. It was because he clearly recognized the power of the Demon God. The moment you do something stupid… … it is death There was only the future in sight.
At that point, the drinker let out a mutter.
“… … That’s a weird combination. that the stars and the sun are together Well, as long as you don’t show it, it doesn’t really matter… … 」
Only Ezio and Stella were aware of the existence of the demon here. Rubia, Mew, and Yuri have never even heard of their names. Of course. Among the demons, there are some who do not know the existence of demons.
Nevertheless, all demons are under the control of demons.
Because– all demons in this world were created by demons.
“… … ”
Ezio draws highs and lows on the neck pole.
He looked at the demon in front of him.
The ruler of all demons and demons.
Someone come… …
The first person who betrayed God.
“you… … Have you been drinking?”
Reconfirmation tea was a question.
However, the demon shook his head slowly.
“I am not like a god. “Demon God is just a title given to them by those who support them.”
Kugugugugu–
Following the death of Naberius, the space that had lost its original owner began to show signs of slowly collapsing.
The divided labyrinth will suddenly disappear.
The cavity will be buried in ruins.
The remaining 2nd and 3rd year students will naturally be kicked out because the practice is not yet finished. They would be banished to the position just before they set foot in the broken illusion.
But the number of people in this joint was different. This is the stark reality. The moment the vast cavity disappeared into the sands of the desert, they too would be buried.
Before that, I had to escape.
However, the demon opened his mouth at the last minute.
“Call yourself Selene.”
