Chapter 1. [Episode 39]
“The Battle of Destruction”

[Huh!]

The red-haired young man’s flaming holy sword bursts the demon’s body in half and sets it ablaze.

However, fatigue is evident on his face. I don’t think he will last much longer.

[Damn, that’s shitty ……!!!]

The high-ranking technique of the dragon boy burned, froze, and blew the body of the Heavenly Demon to smithereens.

There was no room for expression here either. The seemingly inexhaustible magical power would be exhausted after one or two more shots of high-ranking magic.

I was thinking about this as I slashed at the body of the oncoming heavenly demon.

Thinking about it calmly, my body seems to be a bit fatigued as well. The human body is truly fragile.

Nevertheless–.

The number of celestial demons had decreased.

Not only those we defeated but also those who flew to other places would probably not be safe.

Liz and Her Majesty the Queen will not be a problem. Rena will probably be in good shape from now on.

Besides, a few moments ago, the headquarters of the imperial army unleashed a forbidding technique that was almost magical.

That cold air must be from President Ludio.

The other side’s strategy worked.

After Liz was carried out of the General Director’s office, President Ludio asked me to do this.

“Destroy the Great Crystal in the High School of Magic.”

He also told me about the identity of the mastermind.

“Perhaps the person has no physical body, but is possessing someone else and continues to live.”

Finally, he added,

“If it weren’t for you, I would have invaded the High School of Magic by myself and wrecked the facility. It would have taken a lot of work to destroy the Great Crystal first.”

I reply.

“I hear that the High School of Magic is something of a sanctuary. If you did, you’d be court-martialed.”

“I don’t care. If only I could put an end to this incident at my own expense. But not now. I have an idea. Will you cooperate with me?”

I nodded when I heard his bold but typical strategy.

The strategy, which was premised on the appearance of a heavenly demon, was indeed an interesting one.

We should see it soon. His true ability.

And. The number of celestial demons still popping out of the magic circle deployed in the sky was decreasing.

At first glance, things appear to be going well.

But I could sense it. I could sense that something with a vast amount of divine energy was about to crawl out from deep within that magic circle.

My hunch was immediately correct.

A large hand came out of the magic circle, and a giant with white wings crawled out cunningly and fell at once.

Sole appeared and roared as it stomped and crushed the heavenly demons that were directly below it with a roar.

[What the hell, that’s ……!]

[Oh, ……, are you saying that thing is also a demon?]

Julian and Keith say in stunned tones.

No wonder. The giant demon was well over 20 meters tall.

Its entire body glows with a golden light, and it radiates such a strong divine energy that a low-grade demon tribe would be vaporized just by being exposed to it.

The head, however, was no longer in its original form. The face had multiple eyes, and tentacle-like tentacles sprouted from everywhere.

The torso and limbs are almost that of a humanoid. It looks much like the giant tribes that inhabit the far eastern lands.

[I’m sure he’s the master. If that’s the case, I’ll feed him some of my best magic!]

[–Holy Flame! Witness my battle!]

Julian muttered a chant and Keith took the lead.

A blow with Keith’s holy sword, which came at a tremendous speed, slashes the leg of the giant heavenly demon.

But.

[Ggh! What hardness! ……!]

[Keith, get out of the way!]

When Keith played the holy sword, he immediately jumped sideways, and a magic spell reaching the tenth rank was released from Julian’s hand.

The thunderbolt-clad sorcery pierced the giant’s body, but it did not budge.

[Shit! That’s ridiculous tolerance, ……!]

I make sure the civilians are completely gone from my surroundings.

I see military personnel here and there, but everyone seems to be exhausted.

–If we don’t do this, we’ll all end up being crushed. We won’t last until President Ludio arrives.

I touched the jet-black sword I had kneaded with magic and rewrote the formula.

Up until now, I had been using a sword charged with the dark magic technique, which specializes in attack so that it can easily penetrate the body of a heavenly demon.

But this time, let’s also ask for their help; it would take too much time for one person to make a sword that could cut through that ridiculously large body.

[Keith! Julian! Will you listen to me?]

They both looked at me at the same time.

At that moment, a huge heavenly demon approached me with a speed that I could not have imagined from its appearance.

While the two of them are aghast, I narrowly evade. At that moment, the demon’s fist pierced the spot where I had been standing, and a huge crater was formed with an earth-shaking sound.

They know who to attack first.

The heavenly demons that had been floating in the air, looking for an opportunity to attack, all gazed at a certain spot at once.

I see. This is the reason why the mad celestial demons suddenly stopped their rampage and went to attack the elven lands all at once.

The target must be Her Majesty the Queen. The remaining heavenly demons flew toward her at once.

Well, she can handle the other side, no problem. I have to clean up after this.

[Both of you! When I give the signal, release the greatest magic you can use ‘at me’!]

[What are you talking about?]

[Theodore, what the hell is going on?]

[I’ll explain later! Come on, hurry up! We don’t have time!]

While I was rushing, the giant demon was relentlessly aiming at me.

Perhaps they intend to go after Her Majesty the Queen after they put me away.

I shouted to the two who were still hesitating.

[I will break through. Trust me!]

[Tsk …… I get it. You ain’t gonna regret this!]

[…… I know!]

In the blink of an eye, Julian took on the form of a dragon. An enormous amount of magical power overflows from its mouth.

Keith also holds up the holy sword, putting tremendous magical power into its blade.

To buy time for the two of them to finish their chanting, I slash at each part of the giant heavenly demon.

Legs. Joints. Fingers. Arms. Neck. Throat. Eyes.

Although I moved at high speed and slashed everywhere, it felt as if I were poking at cobblestones with a knife.

This still retains the power of darkness that nullifies the divinity to some extent. It is tremendously hard.

Still, I did not give up and slashed at each part, but there was one part that was a little different from the others. It was the forehead.

Its deformed head was shaped like a mollusk. Among them, only the forehead was somewhat flexible. Maybe here.

When I decide to do so, I sense that the two of them have increased their magical power to the maximum.

[I’m ready! Unleash all the magic you have at me!]

[Don’t whine to me after you’re dead, you idiot!]

[I’ll give you the biggest fire you can say!]

Two types of flames were coming from behind me.

Keith’s fire flame technique and Julian’s blue flame. I swung my jet-black sword, reading through their trajectories as they approached the forbidden technique.

The fire is instantly absorbed into the sword.

The technique they unleashed was about the eleventh level of magic.

One is not enough to be mindful of, but when two are combined, it can even reach the realm of the forbidden arts.

The jet-black sword that had absorbed their magic began to tremble.

This is an application of the technique I decided on for Julian for the entrance exam. I absorb the opponent’s magic, convert it into an even higher power, and release it. I do this with a sword woven with magic power.

However, the sword I made was an improvised one without any chanting, and the level of magic I absorbed was extremely high. If left unattended, the sword would explode at any moment because it could not bear the load.

I instantly kicked the ground and leaped over the head of the giant heavenly demon.

I look down at the huge heavenly demon looking up at it with slow movements and I laugh. And.

I thrust the sword into its forehead, twisted the tip of the sword into its body, and released all the magic power I had absorbed at once.

After confirming that the giant heavenly demon’s body was bumpy and raised, I quickly jumped back.

Instantly, the demon’s body exploded into a huge explosion and shattered into tiny pieces.

The aftermath of the two flame techniques spread around the area as a hot wind.

Even the ground is scorched by the impact of the explosion, and smoke fills the air.

When the smoke cleared, there was no trace of the giant heavenly demons. It seems that their strong resistance to magic did not extend to their bodies.

The two who handled the greatest amount of magic sat there, breathing roughly but somehow seems to be safe.

Now, the rest–

[Oh! Theo, perhaps you’ve already put it away!]

When I turned around, I saw Roca and Shaula running up to me.

[Not just me, but Keith and Julian helped me out.]

[How could you defeat that big, stupid monster? …… Are you human?]

[Human.]

At least for now, right?

The feeling of fatigue was getting stronger.

All the rest of the problems will depend on ‘him’. But he will be able to do it without any problem.

At that thought, the shattered body of the heavenly demon rapidly bloated and began crawling and crowding together like a living creature.

Powerful self-renewal capability. Still can’t be defeated even after being destroyed so thoroughly.

It is staggeringly sturdy. This may be a bit of a struggle – I’m not sure.

Just as I was about to smile in the face of my powerful enemy, I sensed the presence of something approaching at a tremendous speed and immediately turned my head in that direction.

A girl in a black dress with pure white wings pierces the body of a giant heavenly demon that was about to regenerate with a black spear, obliterating it without a trace.

A girl with long blonde hair that radiates tremendous divine energy from her entire body gazes at us and her face lights up.

No matter how much I was disguised in human form and focused on other things, how could I not notice her presence?

I was dripping with cold sweat and wanted to hold my head in my hands. Then I looked at my beloved wife and muttered’

[Why are you here?]

Lumiel, the blonde-haired fallen angel and first wife of the Demon King, stood there with a big smile on her face that was clearly out of place.
