113. Liberation
daughter of the devil. Luna.
The moment she took off the ring, the air around her changed.
The air in this place, where an environment like that of the demon world was created, is even thicker. It created an atmosphere like the abyss, the bottom of the demon realm.
Peanus was quietly watching as Luna removed the ring.
“…Yes. Did you think you could defeat me just because you released your powers?”
He still had a relaxed expression.
“…Peanus-sama. I know the truth of the order you have been given.”
When Luna stretched out her hand, the black magic could not control its power and began to take shape in the physical world.
Luna, who tightly gripped the spear of magical power, thrust the tip of the blade straight into Peanus.
“Certainly, there are not many demons who will follow your brain in the Pandemonium, but that is a matter of intelligence.”
one step. two steps.
Luna moved forward.
“To the subject who was given a rank like that. How dare you dare to fight against me, who has the blood of the demon king.”
Peanus could not stand her arrogant remarks any longer and began to gather his magic power.
A large magic circle began to be drawn in the sky again.
Huge fireballs of black flame, reminiscent of an apocalyptic world, began to fall from the sky.
It was not the time to stand and watch.
I quickly carried the fainting Natasha on my back and moved to a safe place.
In fact, it was safe to say that there was no safe place at this moment, but I deployed a protective shield with only a small amount of mana.
Seria… Seria?
Having secured Natasha’s safety, I moved my gaze left and right to try to locate Seria.
…To get Seria out, there was no better time than now as Peanus is focusing on Luna.
Casting the strongest shield magic in the line of mana that I can squeeze right now on Natasha, I started running towards Seria avoiding the black meteor shower.
Peanus was pouring magic mercilessly as if he had no interest in the welfare of the villagers or Ashur.
Ashur had no choice but to deploy his shield on his own to protect himself, while also protecting Seria.
Can I get through that…?
Considering the current amount of mana left, assuming you keep Natasha’s shield…
Although it could be penetrated, it was not enough to deal with Ashu.
Luna’s skill as she flew head-on into the sky showered with meteors was phenomenal.
Each time her black magical spear brushed, the fireballs split in half and collided with the ground.
“Such magic. Compared to Amelia’s power, it’s a cute level. Peanus-sama.”
It was true.
If Amelia-sama had cast the same magic, a magic circle the size of the capital would have covered the sky, not just a small village like this.
Since the comparison group was the strongest in the demon realm, Peanus’ magic felt relatively shabby.
“Don’t compare me to that monstrous b*tch!”
Luna seemed to be really pissed off when she demeaned Amelia-sama as a monster.
“Ha… He really doesn’t curse at my dad, doesn’t he call Master a b*tch like a monster?”
The spear of magical power Luna was holding was dyed a deeper red color.
“A person who is about to die won’t even need an honorific.”
Luna pulled her right leg all the way back and pulled the hand holding the spear back as far as she could.
“If you’re that good… Stop this too.”
Her spear, imbued with magical power, flew towards him at the speed of a thunderbolt.
A roar that seemed to tear the air seemed like it would burst my eardrums.
Peanus deployed dozens of shields to block her attacks, but Luna’s spear could not be blocked with those.
The overpowering power bestowed on her by the demon king’s blood.
It seemed as if no shield could stop her attack.
“Kuaaa!”
Peanus was raising his mana with all his might in order not to be pushed by her.
However, as expected, there were clearly limits to the body of a borrowed child.
Red blood began to flow from his eyes.
It was a symptom that had already exceeded the limit of what the body could contain.
I had no time to waste the precious time she had earned.
Turning my back to confirm that Natasha is asleep, I slowly raise my left hand.
Huh… let’s finish this side quickly.
Like Luna, I pulled out the ring that was suppressing my magical power.
There was no need to worry about mana, which was on the verge of being depleted.
This tingling feeling.
It’s the first time since the night escape with Seria.
I could feel the thick magic power flowing through my veins.
It’s very weak, but the devil’s blood is flowing in my blood too?
Concentrating my magical energy on my toes, I leaped towards Ashur with explosive speed.
Even though I know this shouldn’t be like this. I mean, that’s what I was thinking.
Ashur. good job.
I mean for a human.
I didn’t even need a magic circle.
With pure magical power alone, I tore the magic circle he had painstakingly maintained.
“…Dog star.”
“I’m really… I was stupid last time, right?”
The emotion in his eyes was fear.
no. I know. You shouldn’t have done well when you saved me. huh?
Because I was human too. I thought I didn’t want to kill my own people, so I saved them.
Decorate your work in this way?
Even come to the village next to the village where I lived?
He bit his lip and glared at me.
What do you do if you stare?
Ashur reached out and prepared the magic.
But I had no intention of accepting it or waiting for it.
“stomach.”
I reached in front of him in an instant and hit him on the head with the back of my hand.
“Cheuk!”
“under.”
I didn’t even want to give him time to hurt.
I punched him in the abdomen with all my strength.
Judging by the crackling sound, it seemed that a few ribs had come out.
“Raise your guard.”
give advance notice I mean, I’m very kind.
In front of Ashur, who was hesitant, I turned 360 degrees and cast a round kick at his face.
His body was slumped into the fountain.
can you wake up
If it were a normal human, it would probably never happen.
Blood flowed from his mouth as he stood up holding on to the statue in the fountain.
The blood he vomited was staining the water in the fountain red.
“Yeah. You have to have that kind of persistence to attack me.”
you don’t send me well today I.
He stretched out his hand once more.
try it somewhere
The preparations to trample on his final struggle were complete.
Human beings feel the deepest despair when the last resort prepared by them does not work.
I was going to instill in him what helplessness was.
But the direction of his magic was not me… it was Seria’s.
what…?
I’m sure it’s not offensive magic, right?
It was certain that magic was implemented using mana, but nothing happened.
I was the one who had prepared to deploy the shield on Seria’s side at any time, fearing that he would do nonsense.
However, the means he prepared was a move that caught me off guard.
That damn guy…?
“…Yuwol-ah?”
Seria, who was hanging on the cross, opened her eyes.
Still looking drowsy, she slowly lifted her head and tried to look up at the sky.
“Is that…?”
had to stop
It was the point where Seria shouldn’t know Luna’s identity yet.
I grabbed the stomach and kicked the face of Ashur, who was bleeding and grinning, and knocked down the fountain. I called Seria’s name out loud.
“Seriaaa!”
At my words, she was about to look up at the sky, but she turned her gaze to me.
“Yuwol?”
Ceria. I’m really sorry.
I sprinted right in front of her and hit Seria on the back of the neck with all my might.
Seria, who had been tied up and was insane, lost consciousness again without being able to resist.
“hahahaha…”
I could feel my whole body wet with cold sweat.
I wish I hadn’t noticed…
If Luna was discovered to be a demon, all the journeys thus far would have been meaningless.
After confirming that Seria had passed out again, I broke down and walked to the leaking fountain.
Ashur, who seemed to have already exhausted all his mana, was unable to wake up with a miserable face.
I grabbed his hair and pulled him up.
“Wow. It’s poisonous. It’s poisonous. What’s the reason for doing this?”
Come to think of it, Ashur to the demons. I still didn’t know why I was cooperating with Peanus.
I just kept ruining my plans and trying to play nonsense with Seria, so I tried to exclude her.
I didn’t even want to know his circumstances.
But now I’m a bit curious as to why he’s resisting all this messed up.
“die…”
Anyway, a small dagger was clutched in his hand.
His dagger only left a scar on my collar. Couldn’t even touch my skin.
“Stop being comfortable.”
He was already crippled.
And even if I saved him here, whether he was captured by demons or humans, he was destined to live a life worse than death.
…You tried to kill me first, so take it sweetly.
That was my first kill.
