Episode 15. Defending the Underworld (8)
Peremus relaxed his clenched fist. The hostility also subsided. He was still looking at the Demon World beyond the border.
“What?”
“That means I don’t have time to deal with you right now.”
Looking at Tina and Iris out of the corner of your eye.
Currently, Tina and Iris were emitting power by manifesting the Spirit King. However, their condition was not as good as expected. Due to countless battles with Peremus, he was in a state of considerable exhaustion.
Even with the penalty of not having magic, he drove the two warriors into a corner.
Looking at them, Peremus thought he should kill him at this opportunity, but right now, whether Pero was alive or dead was more of a priority.
No matter how much he liked violence, it wasn’t that he lacked reason enough to abandon even his subordinates.
“Next time we meet, I’ll slit your throats.”
“You’re afraid you’ll die, aren’t you running away?”
Peremus snorted at Tina’s bravado provocation.
“Ha ha ha! It was a fight with a penalty. The momentum is very even. Next time, I’ll punch you in the face without penalty.”
He left a warning and kicked the ground. In an instant, it goes to the demon realm.

“Kuhak!”
I coughed up blood and grabbed the spear stuck in my stomach.
It hurts. It really hurts.
I feel like dying. No, are you really dying?
I thought I would never overdo it after coming to this world, but when the opportunity arose right in front of me, there was no time to hesitate.
The opponent was the 7th ranked demon.
I was able to kill it thanks to my luck and acting separately. If I had to deal with Peremus or Legion together, it would have been much more difficult than now. Maybe I couldn’t solve it.
It was really luck.
“Master!”
“Prause!”
Maria and Ariel hurriedly came running. I am restless in front of my body.
“Oops, mana is being consumed by demons…… !”
“Then uh, what should I do?”
“Hemostasis is better than magic… first……. Portion… there is……. Previously… first…… Some windows… I want you to pull it out…….”
“Oh yes!”
With wind magic, she cuts the rod at the head of the spear with a single knife. The pain intensified due to the vibration during the cutting process, but I had to endure it.
“I’ll take it out, I’ll take it out.”
“Ouch!”
The stick comes off and blood leaks out. I grabbed my stomach and shook my head. It was to prevent my vision from getting blurry.
I heard that it feels hot when stabbed, but to be honest, I don’t know, it just hurts like hell. I think I’m going to fall behind!
I took the potion out of my pocket and swallowed it with blood. The rest was sprayed directly into the hole.
“Keuuu…….”
It was really fortunate that there were potions in this world. If it wasn’t for the potion, guest death would have been unavoidable.
The pain gradually subsides and the bleeding decreases. The heart rate, which had been elevated due to the pain, gradually stabilized.
“Once you recover, if you can’t purify the demonic spirit, you will feel the pain of rotting flesh like Ella Todia.”
I laughed bitterly at Ariel, who raised her voice for no reason and only created a sense of fear. Of course, I know she doesn’t mean to scare me.
Ariel was just worried. Because she’s currently the only one who can connect her to her phasma.
“It will be difficult to use mana for a while, but that’s okay.”
I said as I took out a purification stone from my pocket. Although it’s not a perfect purification stone, if you put this on your skin, all the magic will come out within a few days.
“If you put this on your skin, it will heal, so don’t worry.”
“I see, the stone of purification… …. Whoa, I’m glad. Really.”
“Then Master, are you okay? Aren’t you going to die?”
“I will not die.”
“Thank God!”
Maria, who was in tears, was hugged and cheered. She didn’t have any pain, so she was fine, but there was a lot of blood in her body. If she hugged her, she would almost get her blood on Maria too, so I gave her a gentle pat on the back with her hand that wasn’t stained with her blood.
“If you stay like that, you will bleed. Get off.”
“I don’t like it.”
“…… You can’t stay like this forever. This place is a magic world. We must escape quickly. Can’t we go back to hugging?”
“Did you tell me? Are you going to go back and give them a lot of hugs?! Because you worried me!”
If I hadn’t stepped forward, it would have been a headache. What are you talking about…….
I nodded her head roughly and got out of Maria’s arms. She got up from her seat and looked at the red ghost floating above her head.
“Pasma, you worked hard.”
[…] … I’m sorry, friend. This time I didn’t respond properly. It seems that the training is also lacking.]
If you don’t know the pattern, anyone will be defeated. It was natural that even if he noticed it belatedly, he would inevitably suffer damage.
This is true in games, but is reality an exception?
“No, you did your best.”
If there’s a problem, it’s because I’m weak.
“Ariel had a hard time too.”
“No. Prause suffered more.”
Ariel said, shaking her head from side to side. I feel a sense of relief in the gentle smile.
“What, what is that, Ariel’s…… Are you worried?”
I heard Orient’s complaints all of a sudden. I looked at her disapprovingly as she pursed her lips.
“I know you like Ariel, but you don’t have to explain it to me.”
“Oh, I don’t like it?! It’s just that she’s that chi-chi-chi-friend, so she’s interested.”
Because of that kind of reaction, you’re misunderstood.
Strangely enough, Orient becomes quite timid when dealing with someone she has a certain relationship with. She could be normal to people she didn’t know at all, or to people she had no intention of becoming friendly with.
It’s normal to talk comfortably with close people, and feel awkward with strangers. This woman was the opposite.
To put it in one word, she was eccentric.

“Assuming that’s the case, let’s talk about it later. There is nothing good about staying in the Demon Realm for long as long as Pero is killed. Sooner or later, there will be a tracking party from the demons.”
Besides, Peremus was still there.
I want Tina and Iris to kill me, but even without Magi, Peremus has excellent physical abilities, so it will be difficult to deal with.
By the way, if you go wild like this, a man-horse war might happen this year?
The possibility popped into her head, but she managed to pull it out and get up.
There was nothing I could do about what had already happened.
It is greed to want the story to flow as the game I saw at the time I was actively involved in the scenario.
“Teleport Maria—”
I was about to instruct Maria to teleport.
Kooung!
A gigantic being stands in front of us. The ugly muscles under the blue skin swelled. It seemed to amplify the magic power.
“Is it you? Did you guys kill Pero?”
Peremus’s gaze turns to us. Meanwhile, Peremus’s finger points to me.
“…… It’s you The guy Habito talked about.”
What? Habito?
Does Corps Commander Habito know about me?
“A man with mana similar to Demon King. You bastard took care of Pero!”
“Maria, prepare for the teleport.”
At my words, Maria gathered her mana behind her back, keeping her gaze straight on Pheremus.
Peremus was not something we could handle.
If Tina and Iris were here, it would have been worth trying, but if there was no one to stand in the vanguard, Peremus would be unmatched.
Even the land we were stepping on was a demon realm where demonic energy flowed thickly. It would be only once, at most, that he could withstand his power.
“Peremus…… !”
Ariel is furious. I pulled on her clothes.
“Ariel, don’t be silly. Things are bad.”
“What did you do with Pero? He is number 7 in the rankings. He’s not going to die easily…… No, there’s no way anyone who killed Pero could tell me that.”
He clenched his fist.
“Be prepared. I will kill all of you who are here!”
Peremus’ shoulders hunched over.
“Orient, stop it with all your might!!”
An earthen barrier that forms in time for the moment he throws his fist.
Kwaaang!
Even though Orient’s mana is consumed, the barrier is completely destroyed. Fortunately, the impact did not reach us.
“Now! Hurry up and gather!”
“Do you think you will miss it!!”
Once again, goosebumps wrapped around his forearm. At that moment, I stepped forward and pulled out my glass sword.
[Equipped with [Glass that swallows greed].]
[The skill [Dynamic] Can be used three times a day.]
“Master?!”
“「Destruction—Fist!」
“「Dynamic」.”
My sword swallows his demonic energy with precision. It was slightly pushed back by the tremendous recoil, but there were no injuries.
“You bastard, what are you—!”
“Take the same.”
I bent my back as far as I could and swung my sword.
“「Ruin—Island」!”
Maybe it was an unexpected attack, Peremus, hit by a black blade, flew backwards, raising dust.
Koo-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
Plaus, seeing Peremus completely disappearing, put his sword in and put his hand on Maria’s shoulder.
“Peremus at once…… ?”
“How do you get Peremus… ….”
The two spirit kings were looking at me in wonder. I said to Maria.
“Let’s go now.”
“「Teleport」.”
At Maria’s cry, the teleport was activated safely, and we left Pandemonium like that.
* * *
“You son of a b*tch!!”
Peremus returns to the place where Praus was. Belatedly, other demons and demons also appeared.
“What is it, Mr. Peremus?”
At the question of the other demons, Pheremus silently moved his steps. Where he stopped, Pero, who had been decapitated, lay helpless. The other demons who had followed without thinking were horrified to see it.
“Heo Eok! How is Pero-sama?!”
A ferocious intent to kill emanates from Peremus, who is looking down at Pero.
“How dare you kill my men and feed me attacks? I will definitely find it and tear it to pieces and kill it!!”
With his roar, a vast black energy soared to the ends of the sky.
