Chapter 62

“FumuSo that’s hoas Melheys” I said to the man that appeared“You stuck that contracted demon sword in Ray and even the tournament was your ideaYour Unification Faction is simply a power balancer for the royal factionsIf the royal factions get too big a lot more reckless royals like Emilia will appear”

Melheys nods in a polite in has not been taken over so who’s orders are you following or is it your oill?”

Melheys doesn’t answer

Because he lost his memory did that make it easier to betray ed to hide it from me? It could be neither of those options as well

“The Unification leader is said to be an unknown mazokuIs it Avos Dillheavia?”

“Is that what you think?”

Oh wellIt orth a shot

“It’s fineI’ll make you confess by force then”

“Unfortunately, that will be ie Dimensional Prison <Azeishi+s> was deployed you think you can beat me since I’m locked in?”

“No, since I had already hen thearound in the demon sword tournamentYour loss was caused by your lack of attention when you lapsed into sentiic fors Scepter

It should have been kept at the academy but one of the old seven de it

“Your left arm that was amputated by Initeio will not heal so easily”

What Melheys is saying is true

Initeio cuts all ic formulas and the effect remains for a while afterwards so I’ll have to wait to use recovery ic

I can heal it but it will take a while and Melheys won’t be stupid enough to allow me that time since he appeared the moment my arm was severed

“Moreover, thanks to the <Deic has been reduced by over half nowBeing trapped in <Azeishi+s> also er help you”

Magic particles gather on either side of me and two men appear

It’s two of the old seven demon emperorsGaius Anzem and Idol Anzeo

“FuumuApparently, its time to return the debt”

Gaius carries his extree demon sword Grajeshi+on on his shoulder

“Don’t be careless GaiusEven if he’s weakened he’s still the founder”

Idol grips both his swords of ice <Ides> and fire <Zess>

All three swords were destroyed by Ray and me but they seem to have been repaired

“Have you understood? It’s three on one with three being old seven de for you in this situation”

I laugh through my nose at the words of Melheys

“FuKukukuThree on one? Can you not count Melheys?”

“What are you say—”

A noise rings out and Grajeshi+on leaves Gaius’ hand and pierces the ground followed by Gauis as he collapses on the spot

“……Gaius?”

Next Idol’s head falls to the ground

“……Wha, this is……!?”

A blade flashes but Melheys quickly unfolded a ain a short distance away

“As expected I still can’t cut three people at the same time”

Melheys looks in the direction of the voice and see’s Ray standing there holding o Iron sword in his hand

“Ray Grandori……you should have died……”

“If Ray was beaten by uess the contracted deinIf that were to happen not even I could revive him, however, the sas embedded in Ray’s body”

Melheys see

“……Did you pretend to stab Ray Grandori in the heart but instead destroyed the sword that was embedded in him………?”

“That’s what I set out to do from the start but I kneould be aiht at the end of the fight and I was rightAs soon as <Azeishi+s> was deployed you stopped watching Ray with your demon eyes and that allowed ri me Melheys?”

“There shouldn’t have been a chance to ehting against you seriously”

“I was serious” Ray says“I fought against Arnos seriously to protect hi the bracelet and losing my ht hiht”

“Then hoas it possible the moment I released my demon eyes for you to destroy the contract sword?”

“……We didn’t ht he would transcend it all with his strength and it seems he did

“Wha……”

Melheys is lost for words at Ray’s response

“It seems you made a miscalculationUsually, if there is a handicap you protect your bodyDid you think I’d protect my body and the bracelet but be defeated by Ray?”

Melheys doesn’t answer and just quietly gazes back

“It’s not a big deal thoughI took all of Ray’s energy and fought against you outside the stage at the same timeI actually o matches”

Melheys’ expression told me all I needed to know

“You said I didn’t notice because I was playing MelheysYou got in the way of my match with Ray and you tried to kill both Sheila and RayWhy did you think I needed to stop nificant and worthlessThat’s all your plan was”

I take one step forward
