"Not enough...... not enough at all......!

The blue-skinned man floating in the sky moaned as he reversed his red hair and protruded his teeth.

"I don't have enough heat...... what the heck, you guys, we're doing everything we can, but it's freezing! Whoa, whoa, whoa!

The roar rocked the tympanic membrane of tingling and Cyril.

And as we call it expansion of will, the heat wave spreads around him -

"Prometheus - Illegal Formula!

The earth breaks at the same time as you thrust your arms up towards heaven, and a towering red flame blows out from the ground on one square kilometer to a height of tens of meters.

The territory of the demonic tribe, which was engulfed in darkness at night, lit up red as hell at once.

Extra-legal spell Illegal Formula, a technique created by the Demon Nation that increases the power of magic by the excessive consumption of magic.

Originally, the magic of saying Prometheus is only powerful enough to make the 100m square a sea of fire.

By using extrajudicial spells, we expanded it even further.

It makes magic harder to control as a price, but the only demons left in this area are already him - the Zion of the Hot Fire.

The town was crushed by the braves anyway, and I didn't have to worry about my surroundings.

"Eterna, put out the flames with your magic!

Jean, the wise man who was working with the witch Eterna, Virgin Mary to put up a wide area shield and defend the party, ordered frustration.

"You don't have to tell me."

Without having to tell Gene, Eterna was already in motion.

Calm down, focus your consciousness and activate massive water magic.

"Water Meteorite"

Just one word, chanting so, a huge sphere of water appeared over Zeion's head.

It attracts and falls into gravity, crushing him with enormous mass.

Apparently Eterna is going to do this magic, attacking and quenching fire at the same time.

"Raw heat!

But Zeion wraps the flames, and dares to go inside himself, pushing through.

Moving from the underside to the top of the water mass, he unleashed his magic on Eterna and kicked it like a ball.

"Such an idiot!?

"It's a mess."

"Unexpected"

Gene, Maria and Eterna stunned by the out-of-consense counterattack.

With the shield I am currently stretching, can it hold up?

At that time, the warrior Gadio rushes forward to see what he thinks, and specializes in the sphere of water that we place on ourselves.

Every time he kicked the ground, the ground fell and a small crater formed.

The same goes for the leg strength, but the black armor that is wrapped around it and the two-handed sword that is two meters larger than it is, are not half the weight.

Even wearing it, it is the overwhelming muscle strength that allows you to travel at high speeds.

Plus that's not all, Gadio lets you even try to use magic.

"Earth Grave"

Move only the mouth and quietly declare the activation.

And as he concentrated his magic at his feet and propagated it to the ground, the rock that had risen from the basement soared.

The next protuberance occurs each time a step is taken, and the rock takes on the shape of a staircase.

Gadio rushes through it, raising altitude, and approaching the falling sphere - and the Zion that lies ahead.

There is still a long way to go before the target enters the upper stage between the two-handed swords.

But Gadio did the “plana” purification on the spot.

Convert a force full of flesh into an invisible force that should also be called "chi”, separate from magic.

In other words, at the price of massive health drain, it unleashes a special blow.

This technique was originally used by knights serving the kingdom and was therefore called Cavalier Arts.

"Huh!

Gadio is both arms full of plana and waves down his sword.

To too much sword speed, the surrounding scenery distorted - Kiiin - the high sound of tearing the tympanic membrane.

Knight Swordsmanship (Cavalier Arts)/Chi Sword Slash (Plana Shaker).

The shock waves released, Gopah! and dividing the water meteor in two.

Even more boring than that, the sword pressure fleshed to Zion, flying without any attenuation of power.

"Shit, now it's you!

When he puts his hands together, he unfolds a black smoke in front of himself.

The smoke emitted is not a fire attribute, it is a "dark attribute”.

The attribute of Zeion is "Hotaru" as noted in the two names.

He was the owner of a rare attribute, capable of manipulating the two attributes of fire and darkness.

Zeion takes bare hands the chi sword slaughter visualized by smoke.

Beech, beech, beech!

It's not his palm that bumps into each other and makes it sound like current.

It was a flame that stretched the membrane thinly and refused direct contact with the skin.

"Not yet... it's not hot, it's not hot enough for you. Yeah, yeah!

When he distorted the shockwave he gripped, as if bending an iron stick, he said, "Whoa!" and threw it over the sky with a rough hanging.

But Gadio himself is still alive.

Rock stairs, kicking that last one hard, black armor dancing high in the sky.

Zeion responded to his great sword with a fist just wrapped around the flame.

Gaggin '!

The fist and blade collide, and the aftermath of the impact shakes the ambient air billibly.

"Gu... Ngu...!

"It's time for the front seat - let's end it!

Not only magic, but even muscle strength, Zeion overtakes Gadio.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

The knight in the losing armor was blown away and slammed to the ground like a meteor.

As with time, the shapeless water bounces off the ground and extinguishes the flames that were covering the surface.

Vision is filled with water vapor that can stand in.

"Hey brave man, don't just crawl up to the ground and look up. Come to my toko! You're the only one who can make us three demons hot.

What Zeion is saying is not a mistake.

With the power of the brave, we have never been disadvantaged in the battle against the Three Demons before.

But Cyril, the brave man who keeps dragging his farewell to Flam - was unable to use his magic well because his heart was shaking.

- I got it.

By that time, further afield than the earth that was burning by the Prometheus of Zion.

A single arrow was unleashed over a distance that was absolutely impossible to see with the naked eye in a normal human being.

It is a full-bodied shot fired by Linus, the archer who was waiting, at him distracted by Cyril.

Despite the considerable distance, there is no attenuation of velocity, no total madness in the aim, which proceeds in a straight line towards the frown.

Moreover, the arrows were hidden by the influence of water vapor, and Zeion never noticed its presence until just before the landing.

Hyoon!

And then the arrow cleaves the wind, emerges from beyond the white curtain, and the moment of the Akyuya until he pierces his brain - he perceives the crisis with instinct rather than consciousness, grabs and grips it flying in.

"I'm smart... I'm not... I'm not, I'm not, I'm not. Yeah!

As he echoed his anger, the arrow was burned out by the heat he unleashed, and it became ash and fell.

For Zeion, who values heat above all, the means of attack of sniping was an insult to temperature.

He exploded his anger, raised his hands, and put the greatest amount of magic into that magic in today's battle.

The fireballs created in the air are of an unparalleled size, such as the water meteorite emitted by Eterna.

"Fine, if you don't get hot, I'll force you to get hot! Flare Meteorite -"

But it was the magic of a homogeneous rank.

If so, there is only one reason why there is so much difference in size and power.

"Illegal formula ah!

- It's an extrajudicial spell.

Zeion was about to unleash a full-blown blow with the intention of killing Cyril and the others.

Gradually, the water vapor clears, and the humans who were on the ground look up at the sun and the huge fireballs that are so confusing.

"Ah... that stuff... there's no way I can prevent it!

"Rest in peace"

"Eterna, why can you stay flat! If only you could handle more powerful water magic, this wouldn't have happened!?

"My fault?

"Oh, yes, you are."

"Not if you're fighting!

Maria shouted uncommonly loudly at Gene, who was still going to catch on to Eterna.

"Please consolidate as much as you can, Mr. Gadio, over here as soon as possible! We try to narrow the range, overlay the denser shields, and see if we can't prevent them."

"But that's not enough. That's... The only way to prevent it is to deploy the shield after Cyril uses Brave!

"I can't do that, so I'm trying to figure out what we can't do."

"Damn... why, why did Cyril make Brave - unable to use the brave man's greatest weapon! Hey, Cyril, can't you do something about it? Not if you're saying it's a matter of feelings or something, if you're a brave man, do something about it!

"... eh"

Cyril could only look away and devour her teeth.

I can't argue.

Now I am exposing the serious weakness that is undoubtedly in the brave.

But... with her, she's just a girl with a lot of feelings.

Her wounds and guilt, still young and immature, do not disappear so easily.

"What do you do when you're distracted by useless garbage called such a flam! You're a chosen man, you don't have to think about the dwarfed, enslaved fools, you just think about being chosen well and protecting humans!

"Wow, I..."

"If you're a brave man, behave like a brave man, don't choose the wrong path, throw away the sentiments and more!

"Mr. Jean! Not if you're doing that, get ready!

"Damn, why... why don't you figure it out, what I'm saying should be absolutely right!

Gene, who doesn't believe it enough, doesn't even know how much his words are hurting Cyril.

In the end, without Cyril ever coming back, three men, Gene, Eterna and Maria, formed themselves to begin expanding their shields.

In heaven, flare metheolite is further magically poured and continues to swell.

"Too bad, I thought I could get hotter..."

Too powerful to extinguish the brave men could be secured.

All you have to do is wave down and throw down a huge chunk of fire.

"Nah.“ I can get hotter, "you battle idiot!

That's when someone slapped Zeon in the head from behind.

"Ah!?

Zeion wrinkles between his eyebrows and looks back, isn't there an exposed costume woman floating there with blue skin as well?

She raises her blue hair even darker than her skin and stares at her coworkers trying to violate orders.

"What is it, Negas? Don't interrupt."

"It's not in your way, you brave men. You're gonna die! Don't you remember what the Demon King says to you?

"... what was it"

"Don't kill humans, man! That's all they said, but you don't remember at all!?

"Oh, no, you did. I totally forgot."

Likewise, one of the three demon generals, the first to recall an order when told by the blood-style Negas, undone the magic that had unfolded lightly.

One line of brave men looking up from the surface is simply wary that there are two generals of the Three Demons.

"That's why. Hey, brave man, that's the end of the day, but now let's make it real, okay?

Zeion looks like his war spirit has completely shriveled, and he leaves with his hands up.

The Cyrillics looking up have no idea what's going on, so I had no idea why I was withdrawing in a situation where I could stab Todome.

"I'd like you to convince me to quit the invasion here if possible, but that's not how it works, is it?"

The remaining Negas, even searching for a peaceful solution - sees Maria staring at herself in a ghostly shape and gives up immediately.

"Bye, I'll see you around. Heroes who break the peace."

And when I winked, I followed Zeion.

The remaining brave men can only look up at the sky in a dazzling manner.

Except for one, the Virgin, who, with clear hatred, was staring away at her back.

◇ ◇ ◇

After the battle, Linus was also to join the Cyrils to ascertain the extent of the damage.

Fortunately, no one was more wounded than Maria's magical and untreatable wounds, but the loss of supplies hurt.

It will be tough to continue the journey like this.

"You can't use a metastatic stone here on a boulder... damn it, you're wasting your legs this time"

If you do use Cyrillic returns, you can come and go freely between the Royal Castle and the territory of the Demonic Nation.

However, a limited number of “transfer stones” had to be installed in order to return to the territory of the Demon Nation, regardless of the King's capital where the facility was located.

Because this is a very valuable tool, waste is unacceptable.

Anyway, if it progresses faster than planned, if it progresses slower than planned, you must use the return without installing it.

"Until a while ago, it was supposed to be critical, but it should have gone well. Why are you late!? I should have truncated the extra one!

"Mr. Gene, please calm down"

Maria, who treats Gadio, pays attention to Gene as much as she does in battle, but he doesn't even lend an ear.

"This will calm you down!? Hey Cyril, how come, how did this happen! Hey, hey!?

"... sorry"

"You think you can apologize and do something about it!?

"Hey Gene!

Linus puts his hand on Gene's shoulder.

But shortly afterwards, the hand was shaken off.

"Shit, shit, shit! I always don't understand why I'm right! It's just stupid, I'm disappointed!

And with no one in sight, I walk towards somewhere along a strip that turned into a barren earth.

"Damn, I'm in trouble with him, too"

Linus is in a complicated mood just knowing Gene has a crush on Cyril.

In short, he's jealous of Flam.

If you obliterate your existence, Cyril's mind should be yours to excel at.

That's what I believed, but the situation got even worse.

Besides, Flam himself, the spearhead of anger, is not here.

With no place to go emotions, I guess he suffers as much as he does.

Still, even with Linus, my friend, it's not something I can defend.

"Yes, this should be okay"

"Sorry, thanks"

"No, because this is what I do."

At the end of Maria's treatment, Gadio, who was lying on his back, rises up and turns his shoulders to make sure his body is in good shape.

Saving still hurts, but you'd be better off if you ate a direct hit of Zeion's fist.

Eterna watched the treatment at a slight distance, but walks in a different direction than Gene, as she predicted he stood up.

Almost nobody cared because her whims didn't start now, but only Gadio, who had a lot of opportunities to talk, was oddly caught up.

It's like I'm called, that's what I felt.

"Coming out a little"

That's all Gadio left to say, he followed Eterna.

Awkward silence flows between the three remaining Cyril, Linus and Maria.

Cyril, the party, knew best what caused the awkwardness.

"Well, don't worry about it. There are times when people are not feeling well. You're a brave man, but you're a hero."

To fog such air, Linus gives Cyril words of encouragement.

"That's right. We still have a long way to go to the Demon King's Castle, and let's take it back one by one."

"Yeah......"

Cyril's heart sinks even more into words that have obviously made her care.

Seeing her leaning over, Linus and Maria looked at each other like they were in trouble.

Maybe it's useless to say any word now, I guess it's kindness to leave it at ease.

"Hold on, I wonder why those guys are gone without stabbing Todome. He said," Don't kill people. "He said," It's an order. "

Linus, who was away from home, had a general understanding of the conversation through lip reading.

As soon as she switches to the topic of the Demon Clan, Maria rattles her thumb and index fingernail in frustration.

"... it's a strange story, you've killed a lot of people before"

"Not at all. Are you going to whitewash or are you going to whitewash now? I'm sure you're thinking of something that's not even Locke."

"It must be. Because all demons should disappear."

Talking makes me pregnant with hate.

Linus had begun to dilute herself into her unparalleled hatred of the Demons.

As a matter of fact, the last time he returned to Wang Capital, he was good at intelligence, looking into Maria.

Curiosity outweighed guilt, though I thought it was bad.

Maria Afengens, 18.

A user of light magic, he has a high talent for magic and is now in such a position to be worshipped as a “Virgin" in Originism.

But the truth is, I haven't been a follower of Originism since I was a young man.

Originally, she lived in a neighbouring village where certain ethnic religions flourished, and she herself believed in God there.

Hence the remnants of the time, and they still have the marks of tattoos on their backs indelibly.

It was just 10 years ago, when she was 8, that her village was doomed by demonic raids like that.

Having lost everything to her family and friends because of the Demons, she was protected by the Church and stayed in Originism.

Coincidentally, she became a nun.

And by virtue of Origin's announcement, he was chosen as a member of the Demon King's Crusade - to this day.

There are good reasons to hate the Demons.

But isn't there something lurking in her that just can't explain it?

Linus felt that way.

"What's wrong, Mr. Linus?

Maria asks, wondering her gaze staring at this one, tilting her neck.

She is so cute.

There's darkness in my heart, etc., so much so that I don't want to imagine.

No, if there's darkness, that's fine.

If possible, I want to support you, including that, so why don't you reveal everything to me?

"... no, it's nothing"

- But yet, I'm not ready enough to say that to her.

Linus resumed the conversation to comfort Cyril again, even as she was a little stunned by her attitude, which did not boil down.

But I don't smile back at her.

In the end, unless he reunites with Flam and Cyril is also an apology, I guess he won't be fundamentally saved.

◇ ◇ ◇

Eterna stops her leg about five minutes on foot.

And looking back, Gadio, who was following me from right behind, also stopped on the spot.

"Why did you follow me?

That's what she asks Gadio, with her index finger on the sphere that floats beside her - apparently geared for magic amplification.

"You must be the one who called me"

"Really? Oh, maybe I am. Then I ask you, because of this, what does Gadio think of the party now?

"What do you mean?

"Comfortable? Aren't you bored?

Though Gadio may have felt thin, Eterna is not interested in the Demon King's Crusade.

I originally lived in the back of the mountain and have lived a life of self-sufficiency in qualities, despite the power of S-rank adventurers.

If you don't know your age, you don't know your motives, you have a lot of mysteries - more than that, you're probably a woman who doesn't stick her neck in everything she's not really interested in.

"I thought I was excited about a brave event called the Demon King Crusade."

"Oh."

"But after Fram was gone, I realized. I think I might have been interested in her. 'Cause it's not fun to travel right now. The food is bad, and we're all not good friends."

"That's undeniable."

It's not like Gadio and I haven't felt the disturbing air flowing into the party right now.

It is mainly caused by Gene, but other than that - the number of bombs buried, such as Cyril's heartbreak and Maria's thoughts, is quite high.

There's no flam.

I just didn't know that would break up the party like this.

Even Gadio, who knows her hard work, didn't think she had that much of a role to play.

"So I'm out"

Eterna says clearly.

"What?

"'Cause if the flam got out, it shouldn't be a problem for me to get out. Well, even if they say no, they disappear on their own."

That was Gene's fault.

The man chosen as a member of the Demon King's Crusade does not assume that everyone assumes it is an obligation and leaves, etc.

But Fram's departure - and his exile, too, would have given him that pretext.

"I don't think it's going to help if I let Gene tell me, or keep following me like this."

"Do you have it in your roots"

"Tortoise. He only has 8800 magic, right? I have 10,000, I am stronger! There's no wizard who can't hurt his mood when a child who's less magical than himself tells him to."

"Well, I won't stop you."

"That's surprising. I thought discipline would stop me."

"There's no such discipline here."

"Don't you miss me?

"If you're my goddaughter, I'll never miss you again."

"Oh, come with me."

When Eterna laughed "hiccup," Gadio was also caught and slightly loosened his cheeks with "hum."

◇ ◇ ◇

Once again assembled, the line returns to the King's Capital with Cyril's activated return.

The declaration of Eterna's departure announced there.

Of course Gene was furious, and Cyril was a wolf, but that will remain the same.

"Bye," she waved with a floating attitude, leaving the transfer room, never returning to the party again.
