Cho Jigen no Maou Vol 2 Chapter 5

Pikku sat cross-legged in the center of a field, a small flame flickering in front of her. Her eyes were closed as she focused on controlling the flame, trying to make it dance and change colors. It was a basic skill, but one that she was determined to master.

As the night went on, Pikku moved on to more advanced spells. She attempted to levitate small objects, but her concentration was weak and the objects would only budge a few inches before falling back to the ground. She practiced casting protective shields, but they were thin and easily broken.

Hours passed, and Pikku's eyes began to droop. She yawned and rubbed her eyes, but forced herself to continue practicing. She was determined to become stronger and more capable of protecting herself.

As the sun began to rise, Pikku finally gave in to her exhaustion. She collapsed onto the ground, completely spent from her all-night training session. She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

After a while, Pikku woke up in the field, rubbing her eyes as she tried to shake off the sleep. She looked around for Saneko, but she was nowhere in sight. Pikku started to get anxious, wondering where Saneko could have gone. She searched the nearby area for a while, calling out her name, but there was no response.

As she looked around, Pikku realized that she was in an unfamiliar area. She had no idea how she got there or where she was. She decided to head back to the city to see if she could find any clues about Saneko's whereabouts.

Once she arrived in the city, Pikku started to ask around if anyone had seen Saneko. She described her friend as a girl with long red hair and horns, but nobody seemed to know who she was talking about. Pikku's anxiety grew as she continued to search for Saneko, but she couldn't find any trace of her.

She tried to calm herself down, reminding herself that Saneko was a strong and capable warrior, but it did little to ease her worries.

Finally, as the sun began to set, Pikku decided to head back to the field where she had woken up. Maybe Saneko had returned there. As she arrived, she saw Saneko walking towards her with a smile on her face.

Relieved and overjoyed, Pikku ran towards Saneko and hugged her tightly. "Where have you been? I've been looking for you all day!" Pikku exclaimed.

Saneko chuckled. "Sorry about that. I had some things to take care of, and I didn't want to wake you up."

Pikku looks at Saneko curiously and asks, "What have you been up to all this time?"

"I was using my creation ability to rebuild cities that were destroyed by evil magic users." Saneko replies.

Pikku's face lights up with excitement, "That's amazing, Saneko! I remember how reluctant you were to do that before."

Saneko nods and smiles.

Saneko's senses were on high alert as she felt a powerful being moving at an incredible speed. She quickly turned to Pikku and ordered her to run, knowing that they were about to face a dangerous opponent.

Pikku was frightened, but she trusted Saneko and followed her orders, running as fast as she could. Saneko stayed behind, ready to face the approaching threat.

Suddenly, a figure appeared before them with a bright flash. It was Cela. She was wielding a magic sword and moving at the speed of light, an attack that could kill any ordinary opponent. The Demon King however, was no ordinary opponent.

As Cela charged towards Saneko, she swung her magic sword with the force of a thousand suns, hitting Saneko with incredible power.

The blade struck Saneko's neck, and a massive crater was created in the earth. The crater was so powerful that it reached Pikku, who fell into it.

As Cela looked up at Saneko, she expected to see her opponent gravely injured, but to her surprise, Saneko was standing there completely fine, with a smile on her face.

Saneko put her hand to Cela's head and lightly flicked her on the forehead. Cela was sent flying into the air with tremendous force, her body hurtling through space and crashing into a distant planet, creating a massive explosion upon impact.

Saneko gazed up at the sky, feeling the power of the universe coursing through her veins. With a fierce determination in her eyes, she leaped into space, effortlessly propelling herself towards the distant planet that lay 20 light-years away. The vacuum of space didn't faze her as she moved at an incredible speed, her long red hair trailing behind her like flames in the darkness. The planets and stars blurred as she shot through the void, her power surging with every passing second. Finally, she landed on the planet's surface with a resounding boom that shook the ground beneath her.

Cela's body was battered and bruised from the previous attack, but despite that, she was still alive. Cela could feel the ground shake beneath her feet as she struggled to stand up, her body aching from the impact.

As the dust continued to swirl, Cela strained to see through the haze. Through the thick dust, Cela could see Saneko's eyes glowing with an otherworldly light.

She gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, focusing on her passive healing ability. Her body began to heal itself, bones mending and muscles repairing. Eventually, Cela was restored to full strength.

She had underestimated the power of the Demon King, and now she paid the price. She should have realized that fighting Saneko would be no easy task.

But Cela wasn't one to give up easily. She had her sights on Saneko's glowing eyes through the dust, determined to continue the fight.

Cela raises her hand and channels an electric spell, crackling with energy. She has harnessed many magical abilities, including the power of lightning. The electricity engulfs Saneko. When the lightning dissipates, Saneko is nowhere to be seen.

Cela thinks she has finally defeated Saneko. "I expected more of a fight from the Demon King." She mocks. Suddenly, she feels a hand on her shoulder from behind, causing Cela's eyes to widen in fear.

"You shouldn't celebrate before the fight is done," Saneko said, her voice cool and calm. "You may have harnessed many magical abilities, Cela," Saneko continued, "but you still have much to learn about strategy."

With that, Saneko released a powerful blast of lightning, which struck Cela with incredible force, sending her flying backwards. Cela let out a cry of pain as she hit the ground, but even as she struggled to get back on her feet, Saneko was already advancing towards her.

As Cela tries to regain her footing, Saneko raises her hand. Suddenly, a powerful force pushes down on Cela, forcing her to the ground. Cela struggles to get back up, but the force is too strong, holding her down with incredible pressure.

Saneko looks down at Cela with a stern expression, "Don't underestimate the power of the Demon King," she says.

Cela grunts and struggles against the force, but it is no use. Saneko's power is too strong for her to overcome. Desperate, she tried to use her speed to escape, but even that was futile. Instead, she decided to use another ability she had up her sleeve. Cela burst into flames, incinerating her own body completely.

Saneko watched as Cela's body was consumed by the flames, but she knew that it wasn't the end. Cela had an ability called "Renewal", that allowed her to destroy her own body and create a new one in another area.

Cela, revived, bursts with energy, her renewed body pulsating with magical power. "I am done holding back." She tells Saneko, and reveals that she had been sealing her true powers all along, and has just unsealed them.

Cela raises her arms, and a blinding light erupts from her body. Saneko can feel the immense power radiating from Cela.

As the light fades, Cela stands before Saneko, her body now transformed. Her hair glows with an otherworldly light, and her eyes are a piercing shade of crimson. She smiles wickedly.
