Chapter 200 - Final Chapter 3 (2/2)
“Since you are really old, I can see why you are looking for cute things.”
[Ho-oh.]
Maetel’s provocation was successful!Garnet moved in very close to Maetel as she detonated her Demonic energy.She tried to attack Maetel, but it was too late.Sienna had gotten close, and she pushed Garnet with her shield.
Sienna had given up on directly attacking Garnet.She was just trying to protect Maetel with her shield.She was trying to create an opportunity where Maetel would be able to attack Garnet.
[You magical energy is unique······?]
“Unni, I’ll leave it to you.”
“Yes.I’ll protect Artpe.”
Maetel took the Mana of an Evil Reflector from Sienna. She infused it within her sword.In the nick of time, Vadinet’s blessing was placed over the two girls.At the same time, Vadinet’s curse hit Garnet.The tide of battle changed in an instant.
[This is an annoyingly familiar sight.In the past, Nanarai stressed the importance of his comrades in front of me…..However, he is mine now!]
As Garnet moved, countless magic missles formed in her wake.Garnet didn’t have an Innate ability like the dead current Demon King.However, she was able to mentally subjugate other using her Seduction ability.On top of that, she possessed a massive reservoir of Demonic energy.
Simple plans didn’t work against her.One couldn’t simply attack her weak point.In many aspects, she really was the prototypical Demon King.
[The magic missiles are weakening······!?]
“Hooo-ahhhhhp!”
Of course, even she was weakened in front of the Declaration of Demonic Extermination being rung by Artpe!
[We have to destroy that bell!]
[You do it, Nanarai!I’ll······ I have to entertain these brats!]
Maetel started using her Record Master ability in earnest.She gathered the power of her party into herself.Maetel’s skill had evolved in the process of fighting the Demon King and the fragment of the Demonic god.
Her ability had moved beyond gathering the abilities of her party members.The power maximized Maetel’s attack, and as soon Sienna tried to defend and counter attack, the power was transferred to her.Her skill was maximizing each other’s abilities to the extreme.
Garnet could see the Record being transferred between the two girls, so she tried to attack at the exact moment when the transfer happened.Surprisingly, Maetel was too mobile, and she was aware of Garnet’s intention.Maetel didn’t give Garnet the chance to exploit the weakness in her skill.Garnet gritted her teeth as she met Maetel’s flashing eyes.
[You bitch······!]
“I’m sorry, but there will be no stage for you beyond this.Everything will end here.”
The bastard sword contained her indomitable will.It let out a white light.It was Hero’s Flash.
“You’ll have to exit this stage.”
On the other side, Nanarai Bodra was in a worse situation than the Demon King.Etna was the only one in the party that was capable of going toe to toe with Artpe and Maetel!This was before she had gained her Spirit Transformation ability.Now she was a foe that couldn’t be pushed around by Nanarai Bodra.
[Is this perhaps the power of a Spirit?Yes, my arm was…..!You are a cute woman, yet you are quite rough!]
[Can you close your mouth, grandpa?Your breath stinks.Or else…..I’ll shut it for you!]
Enta punched the air, and tens of thousands of Fire Birds erupted from her fist.In a flash, she created an area filled with lava.Nanarai tried to manifest his Demonic energy into a spell, but it was burned away by the fire before he could do that.At that moment, Etna was as close to being the epitome of her fire attribute.
[If you think I’ll continue to suffer under your attack, you are mistaken!]
[Hoohp!]
In multiple instances, Etna had prevented Nanarai Bodra from activating his spells .He had the body of a Demon, yet he suffered from horrifying burns.He couldn’t heal from these burns.In the end, he gave up on manifesting his spells through Demonic energy.
However, this was when the true battle started.He quickly swung his one remaining hand.It was similar to what the Demon King Garnet had done.However, magic missiles of a fundamentally different nature started to pour out.The magic missiles couldn’t be compared in the quantity of power they possessed, but surprisingly, magic circles had been nested within the magic missiles.When the flames touched the magic missiles, the magic circle within was activated!It ate the flames!
[I don’t know how long you’ve been with the hero, but I’ve walked down the road of a magician before I became a Demon.I was peerless.]
[You were overtaken by Artpe in terms of magic.]
Etna snorted.She was a bit disheartened, since she couldn’t read the spell that was nested within the magic circle.However, she couldn’t outwardly display her disappointment.
‘I have to be more wary of this man than the Demon King.The one that is working on the Demonification of the human realm isn’t the previous Demon King.It should be this man….!’
Even as Nanaria Bodra fought against Etna, he kept glancing towards Artpe’s Reclamation magic.This might be a ridiculous idea, but he might be deciphering the Reclamation magic in real time.
[I got you.]
“Ooh······ What!?”
Even during a battle, Etna was focused on Artpe. Her attention was divided.Etna didn't see the magic missile coming towards her.She only realized its presence when it hit her body.Of course, she thought the flame coating her body would block the magic missile…..
“Koo-hahk!?”
[Checkmate.Shall we end this game, my juniors?]
The flame around Etna’s body disappeared.Etna’s body shook as she fell to the ground.Artpe had been injecting his Mana into the magic tome.He looked up in shock.At that moment, he saw something that he hadn’t been able to see before.
[Innate Ability : Magic Circle Creation]
[I’m well aware of your Innate Ability.]
Nanarai Bodra was the asshole sunbae-nim, who wouldn't let go of their ankles.Nanarai Bodra grinned as he spoke.
[I devised a magic circle that’ll hide my Record for a short amount of time.I guess it worked very well.]
“You son of a bitch······?”
Artpe grinded his teeth.
It seemed his enemy had the ability to manifest Materialization magic through his magic circles.
