Part 6

Edelgart pushed her lance out at Ourou.

Ourou averted it with his big arm, but blood scattered out from the surface of it.

The three-stranded attack from his fist that was projected straight out pierced through Edelgart’s defences.

Normally, if one were to receive a powerful striking technique, some space should have opened up between them, but Edelgart’s posture only collapsed instead.

If one’s posture is destroyed right in front of the enemy’s eyes, they would become defenseless.

──I have no duty to save her but.

「《Bit Arrow》!」

Reacting to Diablo’s magic, Ourou jumped away. He did defend against Edelgart’s pursuit though.

When it came to high ranking Demonic Beings, their resistance to magic also became high. Being able to dodge that magic due to high AGI was also seemed to be a reason.

Ourou glared at his direction.

Diablo struck the ground with the 《Staff of Tenma》.

「So you claim me to be ignorant?」

「I am the Demon King Diablo! For you to rise against the true Demon King, you really are a fool!」

The owl’s eyes went wide open. His black pupils were floating on his golden eyeballs.

「Though it is said that you are the oldest Demonic Being, for you to not know of me……You should feel ashamed of your own ignorance!」

However, it was because he was performing a roleplay, that couldn’t think of such a thing.

Ourou tilted his head.

「A foolish one, aren’t you. To think that a mere person of the Races would to claim to be a Demon King, I shall bestow you a death suitable for that arrogance.」

「If you claim to be a Demon King, why do you conduct yourself with the Races? Why do you protect that failure of a Demon King?」

Alicia wasn’t his property but his companion, and although Krebskrem and Edelgart couldn’t be said to be his companions, it was because it was too troublesome to explain every little detail to the Demonic Being that he asserted as such.

「Edelgart～, your property, wrong? Wrong! Serve, Demon King-sama～!」

「Muu」

He turned the 《Staff of Tenma》 towards Ourou.

Abruptly, an explosion occurred right in the opponent’s face.

《Flare Burst》, among the magic learned below level 99, it was a magic of the highest grade, but conversely speaking, it was nothing but something learned before breaking through the limit.

However, since he was restraining his MP consumption, its activation was fast. Above all, its influence on the surroundings was small.

Even though he was limiting the range, it was wider than the 《Bit Arrow》, and its speed from its activation was remarkably faster.

Ourou came flying out from within the burst of flames.

His skin and shirt were burnt, but there was no weakening in those movements of his.

And then, the moment that Ourou landed on the ground right in front of him──

Since it was a magic that was laid at one’s feet, it was effective against opponents that come in for close combat.

In other words, Diablo making a surprised face was him doing his role play. It was to make Ourou believe that there wasn’t a trap.

Even so, he pushed out his fist.

「Damn, you’re a sturdy one……ッ!!」

However, Diablo has experienced a countless number of battles.

Up until a spot where his fist wouldn’t reach──

「《Quartz Lance》ッ!!」

──So this guy was also a 《Punching Magician》!

It reflected the opponent’s magic as usual.

「Gohoh!?」

Diablo once again took some distance.

「What was that～……just now!?」

Going *Fu*……, Diablo curved the corners of his lips.

Going *Ohh*, her eyes went wide open.

「……This is……Could it be, my magic was reflected……Do you mean it was 《Magic Reflection》? Just like 《Demon King of the Brain Enkvalos》-sama?」

At the time he defeated that 《Demon King of the Brain Enkvalos》 in the game, Diablo acquired the 《Demon King’s Ring》 as the reward. Magic Reflection was its ability.

Ourou groaned.

He started gathering strength in his right fist.

So, although it would take some time until it activated, he was planning on using a powerful and large 《Martial Art》.

「Now is the time! Do it────!!」

──What!?

In battles where he himself would fight, and he would protect himself, he was invincible and undefeated. He himself and others recognized him as the strongest Player.

Edelgart raised her voice.
「Wa, it!!」

Krebskrem and the others were gazing over at Diablo with a worried look.

Ourou possessed a faction. In other words, he had companions.
It was the instant that Diablo fired a powerful magic, and even if he tried to freely use something else, it was impossible for him to attack a different target.

In hot haste, Edelgart kicked the ground, and headed towards where Krebskrem and the others were.

Despite receiving enough damage where it wouldn’t be strange for him to have his life end──

Moreover, it was aimed at the dashing Edelgart.

Clad in lightning, Ourou punched out at her. She was somehow able to receive that with her lance, but a dry sound was raised.

「Guh!? Tsuhaaaa──ッ!!」

She rolled on top of the grass-covered plain, and raised up a cloud of dust.

Nonetheless, he was convinced of his victory and majestically stood there.

Simultaneous to all of that──

They were monsters that had wolf heads and had both of their arms turned into several snakes.

Noticing from the beginning, Shera raised a scream.

Although Alicia had a belated reaction, she no longer had the time to prepare her stance.

「《Stoneman》ッ!!」

It was a Summoned Beast.

These were Demonic Beings that Ourou, the strongest Demonic Being, entrusted the duty of obliterating the Demon King to. They were most likely suitably strong.

However, that small amount of time was plenty.

Rem was also plenty separated from them.

Diablo fired off a maximum magic, and blasted away the wolf-headed Demonic Beings that had made the surprise attack.
