Chapter 139 – -138- Theater With Audience Participation (2)
Finale
The last movement that decorates the end of the song.
This battle with the hero was supposed to end with the conclusion that the demon lord Luciferia wiped out the group of heroes.
This battle, the prelude to the fall of mankind and the end of the hero party, was a battle worth seeing.
“Go, my child.” So, I sent the familiar that I made with much more effort than last time out.
The familiar that would become my eyes soared high into the sky.
The familiar, which has been strengthened to share vision and hearing, showed the appearance of the battlefield at a glance.
He was able to follow the vanguard with his tiny wings and chase after them.
I eagerly awaited the end of the warriors.
I saw three people walking stealthily through the woods.
“A musketeer, a saintess, and my messenger…An interesting combination.”
In such an important battle, it was a little questionable whether the musketeers would perform well, but the other two could be trusted.
Both of them are powerful enough to survive facing the heroes alone.
‘With those two, even without a musketeer, I’d be able to tie the hero’s party down enough.’
If it wasn’t annihilation, but simply wasting time, the two thought it would be a very simple task.
At that time when I was looking at them with a pounding heart, the musketeer-duplicate body that was looking around the extension with nervous eyes gave a signal to the surroundings as if it had found an enemy.
“Huh… Has it started?”
My messenger, crouching down, crouches down in the direction he announced.
“…Hey, can you give me a blessing?” My messenger tilted her head from side to side and spoke to the saintess with an arrogant smile.
“Whoops, sure?” At the light gesture of the twisted saintess, her demonic energy flowed through her veins, making my messenger even more powerful.
As her already powerful physical abilities were strengthened, an amazing thing happened.
With a roar that rips through the air with a “Pop”, The messenger’s body is shot. She knocks down everything she touches and moves in a straight line, reaching the Hero and the others at a speed several times the speed of sound.
Every tree in the path fell in disrepair. A scene of overwhelming destruction that stretches tens of meters. All of this was accomplished through simple physical abilities.
“Hi?” With a playful greeting, her fierce fists are fired.
Her champion, Elahe’s face, faster than the astonishment spread across her face, her herald’s strike struck her.
The fist, which went faster than the speed of sound, arrived before the sound could be heard.
“Kuhhh…!”
When her fists touched, Elahe took a few steps back.
At the same time, the sparkling jewelry hanging from Ellahe’s ears lost its light.
‘Hmm, is it a shock absorber? It must have been prepared.’
However, no matter how prepared you are, there will always be unstoppable shocks.
Even if the breakwater can block high waves, can’t it stop a tsunami of a different class?
My messenger’s strike was different from normal attacks.
It was a fatal attack that would be life-threatening if each one was received head-on.
Each time he received a powerful blow, the jewels in it began to lose their light one by one.
The jewels weren’t infinite, but they bought her precious time.
It was Ella He who used the time she had earned to hone her posture and begin to deal with her attacks.
Whether it is false to say that she is the best guru among humans, her talent for skillfully receiving it as time goes by was surprising.
However, once she had tilted, she did not want to easily overturn her situation, so a breathtaking offensive that made her sweaty hands followed.
“Amelie…! She needs support…!”
Her knight Amelie, who was confronting her saintess, rushed towards her to support her as she blocked her attack alone.
However, her support did not reach Elahe.
“Your opponent is me”
With her demon-like smile, her holy woman, whom I created, suppressed her with her terrible demons.
“Kuhhh…!”
Amelie’s movements slow down, as if she is trying to run while drowning.
Her pink eyes trembled with rage, and the lightsaber she extended from her hand flashed and went off.
“Let this…Let go…!”
As if she had fallen into her gooey trap for catching mice, Amelie couldn’t get close to her.
“Oh, you can’t let go, can you?”
As if refusing to allow her approach, my saintess pulled up the demonic energy in her hand and forced her to kneel on one knee.
“Haha! Do you want to serve even a new lord? If you beg a little more servilely, maybe even Mother will change her mind!”
“Bill, what the hell…!”
She wielded a sword of light and tried to somehow hit her saint in the air, but her attacks only missed each time.
It was a reckless attempt, like trying to catch a fly with a needle. The sword of light that was fired was suppressed by demonic energy, and while flying, it lost its power and collapsed.
“Kyaha! Here! Here!”
My saintess floated low, taunting her opponents who crawled on her bottom.
‘As expected, Jim’s child, how amazing…!’
Amelie Grace was a knight strong in close combat. She wanted to applaud my saintess for destroying her simply with her idea that she couldn’t even approach her.
Various support magics flew to help her with her feet tied, but were intercepted by the magic bullets of her musketeer-duplicate body full of her demonic energy.
The offensive was extremely successful. My vanguard was splendidly tying the feet of the warriors.
“You must be happy, mother.”
The Bella-duplicate body grinned next to me and said.
“How can it not be fun? My children are crushing the enemies with delight.”
“Whoops, the funniest part hasn’t even started yet, mother.”
Indeed! It was!
Even this exhilarating showdown was just a preliminary preparation for an even greater victory.
Even if the warriors who fought in the vanguard retreat, all they will see is the corpses of other warriors.
“But first of all, I want to see more of this fight, ah…!”
With this side holding the upper hand, an unexpected situation occurred. The Musketeer’s equipment malfunctioned, and a huge amount of smoke was generated.
“Why is this… So big…!” While staring blankly at the equipment with a two-headed expression, he was struck directly by the flying magic and collapsed.
‘You idiot! How do you manage equipment…!’
I didn’t even expect it in the first place, but I didn’t know that it would hinder rather than help.
I regretted admiring it in my heart because it played its own role, such as intercepting the flying magic.
There was so much smoke that I couldn’t see anything from above, so I couldn’t see anything clearly.
“Shit!” The roar of metal clashing could only be heard intermittently, but it was difficult to know the exact type of fight or important information such as who was on the defensive.
‘Haa… To not be able to see this nice sight…’
I let out a low sigh and exclaimed.
“Now that I know the Vanguard has done its job well enough, how about something more interesting?”
As if to comfort me, the Bella-duplicate spoke to me.
“…You mean more fun?”
“Yes, by now…[The decapitation tank] Should have infiltrated the rear of the other Heros.”
“Yes! You can look that way…!”
It was a great idea. Even if I couldn’t see the vanguard, I still had a chance to see the [Decapitators] In action.
I was looking forward to it. I wanted to see the expression on the face of that arrogant man who believed he had converted my people, when he realized the whole story.
With a happy heart, I sent my familiar to see the situation in the decapitation tank.
It was around the time that the [Decapitation tank] Approached close to the heroes in the familiar’s field of vision.
‘Whoa…Give her a glorious battle…!’
It was the time when I was looking forward to the battle with a swollen heart with anticipation.
“Bang-!” With a sound, the shared vision begins to spin round and round.
‘What…?’
Fall. My small retinue fell as soon as the gunshot was heard.
“Damn it…!”
A single bullet pierced my familiar.
The musketeer, that bastard, was the only duplicator or the original, the ones I didn’t like!
It will take time to recreate the familiar… Ha, then the battle will be over…!
I couldn’t see the result of the battle, so my annoyance welled up.
I put on my teeth and told the archmage.
“…My child, tell the [Decapitation tank]”
“What shall I tell you?”
“That musketeer, behead me before I go”
“I understand. If that is the will of the noble master…”
She put her hand on the demonic artifact and relayed my command to the [Decapitation tank].
As I leaned back on her throne with a sullen expression, she comforted me and spoke her words.
“Anyway, in a few minutes, you’ll see the defeated warriors with your own eyes. Don’t be too upset, mother.”
“But… You’re not going to see my children stepping on arrogant humans…!”
“Whoa, you’re a noble person. Opportunities for humiliation will always be open. After this fight, you’ll be able to enjoy it until you get tired of it.”
“Still…”
“Oh, it’s not like this, how about preparing in advance for mother’s coming?”
As if to entertain me, who was still pouting, my followers began inviting me with exaggerated gestures.
“Preparation?”
“Yes, I was wondering if you could show the demon king a dignity befitting a procession.”
She said excitedly to me.
“You’re going to have to go slit the throats of those brazen humans soon, right? Besides, you’re going to have to prepare to convert Leon Souders…Doesn’t it look good to show off the dignity of a ruler?”
After the operation was over, I decided to kill the subdued warriors myself. Disgusting god, even if it was decided by Lumina. It was a courtesy to those who were chosen as my adversaries.
“The dignity of a ruler?
I thought the current outfit wasn’t too bad…
“No, it’s not like that, it’s because it looks good to show a more dignified appearance than now. The despair of the human world, the hope of the demons, and the overwhelming power that can’t be resisted… It’s a little less revealed in the current clothes.”
As if full of confidence, my people looked at me with curious eagerness.
“Yeah, well… I have nothing to do, so don’t do that.”
As soon as my permission was granted, she excitedly twisted magi in her air like threads to weave her garments.
The clothes she created in an instant were refined and elegant.
“He is more noble and stronger than all the demon lords who descended before, so this is a design that goes a step further while making use of their characteristics. How do you like it?”
“This is… Quite, amazing.”
She didn’t expect much, but her work revealed her dignity as the ruler of all demons.
The clothes tightly woven with Magi were perfect without a single trace of sewing. The patterns engraved on the clothes were complex and antique without being excessive.
“…Oh, the master must be very happy”
‘Your owner is me, what are you talking about?’
“…? Um, yes. Wearing such pretty clothes… You’re happy…?”
She was the one who said it while banging her own head as if she had just realized her own mistake.
“Oh, watch your mind, my mother is so beautiful, I can’t even speak properly.”
As I was making a fuss and praising my beauty for a long time, her contact artifact started ringing.
Placing her hand on her crystal ball, she said to me with a smile.
“Come on, all the insolent bastards who sought the life of the Lord of all have been subdued.”
